If Xiaquan Village does not intercept water, there will be no way to cultivate it.
But if they go down the village, they will find it difficult to cultivate them without forcing Xiaquan Village to release water.
Many villages are carried by people and come back from the Jima River, which is dozens of miles away. The closest one is more than ten miles, and the farthest one is about thirty miles.
Bai Minghe didn't understand: "Why don't you dig a well?"
"Every village has wells, but the well water is very rare in spring, and the deepest well has been dug to fifteen feet. There is no problem with people and animals eating water on weekdays. It can be used for spring plowing and irrigation, but it is far from enough. Every year, many wells no longer come out of water. Every year, each village needs to spend a lot of effort to find a suitable location to dig the well again."
A young man added: "Brother Bai Nian, there are many mountains here, and there are many rocks to dig wells, which is very difficult!"
It's really a dead end.
The Baiming crane used modern knowledge to analyze it. It may be because of the natural reasons such as the changes in water levels over the past 20 years that have turned this place into a water-deficient place. There are thirty-two villages, and this place is not big or small.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Minghe, and what Bai Minghe said just now was really full.
This problem has not been solved by many prefects of Zhuozhou and Laishui County Magistrates. Several canals were dug, but in spring, the water volume of Jima River is also small. Due to the terrain, two-thirds of the canals are not soil, but stone. If you want to lower the height of the canals, the manpower and material resources are needed, let alone these thirty-two villages, even Zhuozhou cannot bear it.
Every year during spring plowing, Laishui County will send people to watch with eight village chiefs. The water in the Xiaquan intercepts how much water is flowing and how much water is released. This has barely left no fight in recent years, but the evil thoughts of Xiaquan Village are getting heavier and heavier.
Especially in the past two years, the water level of the Jima River has dropped again in spring and the water volume has increased. This contradiction has reached its extreme.
The county magistrate of Laishui County dare not say that he can completely suppress the conflict between the water competition in these eight miles and thirty-two villages this year.
"Please forgive me for not understanding. Since it is all water shortage, there is a county magistrate to regulate me. Why did someone tell me that this hatred is not caused by armed fighting? Is there any other reason?" Bai Minghe asked again.
"Yes, that is, seven years ago, when the water surged in summer, Xiaquan Village piled up a dike of more than one meter high in the village. It was once accidentally flooded the two villages of Xialiu without any harvest. It was said that Xiaquan Village was not wrong, they just wanted to protect their own fields. It was Xiaquan Village who protected their own houses and destroyed their fields. Although it was only once, it was only from seven years that it was truly a feud. I was somewhat considerate before!"
The white-named crane really doesn’t know what to say.
When Lord Lu picked up the cup to drink water, the young man who had just spoken added again: "Brother Bai Nian, it's not that he had thought of a solution. A county master once designed to dig a lake to store water. However, after calculation, the lake requires a huge depth and area. Not only is the project difficult to complete, but it is difficult to continue just by occupating the field. So Uncle San said that there is no solution to this matter."
Bai Minghe thought of some solutions in his mind.
But after careful analysis, it seems that nothing is the solution.
The first article is water storage and regulation. This juren also said in the same year that someone had thought of this method. No.
Then Bai Minghe thought about letting people here move, but in ancient times, unless they really couldn't survive, they would never mention moving.
The last solution is to consider whether you can dig a deep well.
But if you think about it again, this place is not modern, and it is not easy to have a deep well of fifteen feet, and I am not sure that the well dug will definitely come out of water.
Just say that the Lu family has a lot of land, most of which are close to Zhuozhou, which has little to do with the trouble of not having water. The remaining small amount of land, with no water, reduced yield by hundreds or thousands of acres, is not a fatal matter for the Lu family.
Compared with the problem of Bali 32 Village, it is really not a big deal.
The Lu family has a great career and does not want to participate in the water competition among these eight miles and thirty-two villages, so the Lu family is content with the fields near these eight miles and thirty-two villages.
"I, a white-famous crane in Guanzhong, is well-read, loyal and courageous, and the most important thing in dealing with people is to deal with people. Since I said just now, if I don't solve this problem, I will not participate in the examination. My white-famous crane will definitely find a way to solve it. At present, I use a treasure material to only borrow a hundred stones of grain. When I return the grain, it will be considered interest and then redeem it!"
Bai Minghe is also tough, and he is confident that he can find a solution.
At the same time, he also justifiedly avoided this test.
Bai Minghe knew that with his current ability, he would probably not even understand the questions in the exam, let alone the answer sheet.
But more importantly, Bai Minghe has confidence in himself and has to be responsible for what he says. This is the upright man.
"Forget it, borrow it!" The old lady said, a juren made a vow with his fame and fortune. Neither the Lu family nor the feelings nor reason could be left alone, and he could also give an explanation to Qili and twenty-eight villages. After all, this is a juren.
"Young Master Bai doesn't have to use treasure materials to cover it, just write a handwritten book!" Lord Lu was a very arrogant person.
Bai Minghe took out his bronze mirror and asked the servant next to him to send it to Old Lady Lu and said, "Stay this thing with Old Lady and enjoy it for a while, which is also a thank you to the elders for the younger generation."
Do you like it? Do women don’t like mirrors? Especially in the sun, the fairy in the mirror.
I saw several men of the Lu family with good identities and were all surprised and exclaimed. This thing is indeed a treasure.
"I'm thankful for this. I've stayed in Lu's Mansion for three months. Whether or not I'll get the food, Mr. Bai will come and get it back." Old Lady Lu nodded to Lord Lu: "San'er, send someone to send food to Xiaquan Village, and then send someone to each village to explain the situation. My Lu family has to help with today's affairs and have to borrow it."
Bai Minghe let out a long sigh and bowed again: "I'm brave enough to ask for another request!"
"Tell me, just say what you have!" Old Mrs. Lu smiled with the bronze mirror so much that she couldn't close her mouth.
"Please set off less fireworks in the Lu family, and lend the extras to the younger generation after the New Year. Maybe it's for the purpose of opening up the mountain." Bai Minghe knew that no matter what he wanted, there was always nothing wrong with gunpowder.
But who would have thought that Lord Lu laughed: "Young Master Bai, don't worry. If you really solve the knot in these eight miles and thirty-two villages, even if my Lu family doesn't have enough gunpowder, I will also call some from the Ministry of Works for you."
The grain was transported to Xiaquan Village, and many uninvited guests also arrived at Xiaquan Village.
The ancestral hall in the village, including the older ones and the younger ones, was outside. After seeing the grain cart, Uncle Sun naturally brought people to greet him, while several old men brought the white crane into the Sun family's ancestral hall.
At this time, there were no less than fifty people in this small ancestral hall.
"June Master, I am..." The oldest one came out to introduce himself, and then introduced the others. Bai Minghe was so angry that he had eight village chiefs, thirty-two village heads, or clan chiefs, or village chiefs. In short, everyone in this knot has arrived.
I think these people rushed to Xiaquan Village because of the Lu family's message.
After the introduction, everyone bowed to Bai Minghe. Bai Minghe quickly bowed and replied: "The elders bowed to the younger generation, which is to make the younger generation lose their life. It must not be."
An old man in the lead took a step forward and clasped his fists again: "Mr. Bai, I have a few words. Mr. Bai came forward and solved the current troubles for Xiaquan Village. Even if we are not in harmony with Xiaquan Village, we have to praise him. Mr. Bai is a great benevolence and righteousness."
Frightened! Bai Minghe was not only not happy when he heard these praises, but instead took a deep breath.
Promote first, then kill? Bai Minghe was a little nervous.
Keep listening, Bai Minghe didn't speak, just smiled slightly.
The old man continued, "I am also well-read in poetry and books, and have a scholar's fame. Unfortunately, it is difficult to make any progress. I am a person who knows etiquette and virtue. Mr. Bai went to the capital to take the exam and could have taken his wife away. These eight miles and thirty-two villages have nothing to do with Mr. Bai in any case."
The white-famous crane is not eighteen years old. He has lived to be thirty in his previous life and has gone through countless fierce battles in shopping malls.
Don’t ask what Bai Minghe has done in his previous life, you should ask what industry Bai Minghe has never done in his previous life, and has tried everything he has learned about.
This old scholar is carrying himself into the sedan chair to see how he will force himself later.
Sure enough, the old scholar continued to preach: "Listen to the people from the Lu family, Mr. Bai made an oath in the Lu family that the troubles in these eight miles and thirty-two villages would not be resolved, and he would not participate in the examination. I dared to ask the young master to take back this statement. The meeting and the way to jump the dragon gate, how many people in the Ming Dynasty looked at the dragon gate but couldn't give up!"
OK, the show is coming.
Bai Minghexin said that this old man is really uneasy.
I'm afraid I'm not because I solved the food crisis in Xiaquan Village, but I'm holding a grudge against myself.
If you persist now, it is equivalent to making a statement in front of countless people. If you break your promise and pass it on, you will also make a disgrace in your future career. But if you persist and do things really come true, these eight miles and thirty-two villages will definitely be a great thing.
If the work is broken, this old scholar will be like telling the people of the world that this Bai Juren is troublesome and traps himself in. Without that diamond diamond, you will take less work on porcelain.
In the future, no one will regulate any extreme behaviors in Qili Twenty-Eight Village.
Moving in Xiaquan Village is the final idea of ​​Qili and Twenty-Eight Villages. It is also the result that these old men discussed before coming to Xiaquan Village together. In a word, it is to let Baiminghe retreat from the difficulties. Use reputation and righteousness to trap Baiminghe, so as to achieve the purpose of moving in Xiaquan Village.
But for Xiaquan Village, it is hard to leave its hometown!
