This person is Nantian, who is the culprit of Changpingsi on Tongchuan Mansion Road.

He was originally a judge, but now he has been upgraded and is the deputy envoy.

Not only has it been upgraded, but the capital was also transferred from Tongchuanfu Road to Chengdufu Road.

The reason for his upgrade was that it made the first appearance of tribute tea in Sichuan, and the quality of this tribute tea far exceeds that of Fujian Tuan Tea.

At that time, Zhao Ping was slandered as a demon tea by his competitors, and it was his keen eyes that recognized this brand new good tea.

With this drunken spring breeze that created the world as a tribute tea, Nan Tian, ​​who was less than thirty years old, was promoted to deputy envoy.

Not only was he promoted, but his rank was also promoted from the seventh rank to the sixth rank, which was a precedent in the Song Dynasty.

I heard that 30% of the land in the village were tea, so how could he not be moved?

However, it is circulating everywhere in Chengdu that Zhao Ping is very happy and lacks water to plant tea, which makes him very worried.

One of him is to attend a poetry, calligraphy, painting, tea party, and the other is to see how the water source is here.

If Zhao Ping was really happy with the merits, Nan Tian decided to stay away from him.

The steep and majestic scenery of the mountain village is indeed good, making it pleasing to the eye.

Of course, the content of poetry, calligraphy, painting, and tea party is to recite poetry, calligraphy, painting, and rewards. Excellent works are published in the "China News Agency of the Great Song Dynasty".

What is selection of the best? First, the works are excellent, and second, the theme is clear.

The purpose of Zhao Ping bringing them here is mainly to use the theme of copycats. He hopes that through this grand event, the beautiful scenery of the copycats will be presented to the world through literati.

But this cannot be done too clearly. After all, the literati of the Song Dynasty still have a strong character.

Of course, non-copy works must also be selected, but the focus must be tilted towards copy works.

Unexpectedly, these scholars and ladies saw the unique scenery of the village and immediately splashed their pens and wrote poems and paintings.

Nan Tian did not start writing. After all, he was a deputy envoy to promote Changping's Office, and his every move was a huge influence.

Nantian is the key, and it is necessary to explain Nantian. He represented Changpingsi.

After Zhao Ping accompanied these literati and ladies to visit the mountain village, he also went out for a walk with them.

Although it is already autumn now, the scenery is the same as spring.

Sichuan is not only in the south, but also in the Qinling Mountains, which blocks the cold winds in the north, which are particularly mild even in winter.

What's more, it's still autumn and the weather is relatively warm.

The average altitude of Longquan Mountain is only 700 to 800 meters, so the temperature difference with Chengdu is not very large.

Now the sun shines on everyone's heads, and some people even sweat.

Seeing the continuous 100,000 acres of land, everyone thought of rumors in Chengdu that there was a lack of water on the mountain after all.

Although the 100,000 land has a strong feeling of mountains and rivers, there is no water source but a burden.

There is a small lake at the gate of the village, but compared with 100,000 acres of land, it is not worth mentioning at all.

Seeing that a small lake with a land of only about two miles acres, many people frowned.

"Zhao Ping is so happy that he has no water on Longquan Mountain. He arrogantly opened up 100,000 land." These rumors do not seem to be fake.

When Zhao Ping saw the expressions of these people, he didn't know what these people were thinking.

He made a gesture of inviting people and led a group of literati to climb a hillside, everyone was shocked.

A narrow lake in the radius of more than ten miles appeared in front of everyone, and the breeze blew, sparkling.

Although the literati were shocked, they were even happier because there were willow branches on both sides of the lake.

There is a 100-meter-long dike that is ten feet high, with the words "Taoyuan Lake" written on it.

Since it is the lake in Taoyuan Town, of course it must be named Taoyuan Lake.

In addition, there are also a boat in the lake, so tourists can board the boat to explore the scenery around the lake.

Nan Tian couldn't help but caress his beard, looked around, and asked, "Ping'er, when did Taoyuan Lake appear? Why is there no record of the county annals?"

Not only Nantian was stunned, but also Liangshanqiu was stunned. Less than a month ago, there was a valley and when did there be a lake?

Zhao Ping was secretly proud of himself, and at the same time he secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The large number of idle people in the village, Zhao Ping and Zhao and the copper coins of 100 coins a day were recruited, and the cement workshop was put into production in less than ten days of Tianxian Cement Workshop.

There are many people and great power. In less than ten days, the embankment has been built.

More importantly, after the embankment was built, Master Tian also gave face, and it actually rained five heavy rains in a row, causing water to rise in Gangu Valley.

Li Zhihao, Guo Jing and Wang Ziqiu were even more happy. They did not expect that in the hands of the three, they would actually build a huge lake.

Although the above has not approved it yet, Zhao Ping appointed Li Zhihao as the township department and governed the place.

This is legitimate and no one can talk about it.

After the Taoyuan Lake, the people of the village were even more happy.

Now there is no shortage of water. On the day when the lake is storing water, every household lined up its wheels to the Thunder Temple to burn incense.

Master Taier was happy all day long, even when he was sleeping, it was the scene of the village people burning incense.

But Taoist Taier became unhappy soon because things changed.

The village actually planned to build an Erlang Temple on the west side of the village. This temple was imitated by Jintang County, and of course, it could not be lacking in the statue of Zhao Ping.

Master Taier quits, aren’t you robbing my business?

He immediately negotiated with the elders, and Lei said that the temple already had a statue of Zhao Ping, and there was no need to build the Erlang Temple.

However, there are many people who support the construction of the Erlang Temple. They find a reason he cannot object. Lei Zhenzi is too ugly.

Even Zhao Ping's maid, Mrs. Cuizhu, disliked her.

It was Guo Jing and Wang Ziqiu who were happy about the village people, because the construction of Taoyuan Lake could create a feat of history, which was to build a lake in the valley.

This not only requires recording the county annals and prefecture annals, but also very likely to be recorded in the history books of the Song Dynasty.

You know, this is something I never dreamed of.

But the happiest thing is Li Zhihao. The successful construction of Taoyuan Lake means that the water source of the biggest problem that has troubled the copycat has been completely solved.

With Taoyuan Lake, it is more likely that the mountain village will become Taoyuan Town.

In front of many literati, Zhao Ping bowed to the sky and to the mountain village.

Then he said solemnly: "Thank you for the care of Emperor Tianhoutu, thanks to the people of the village for their concerted efforts, and finally this hard-won Taoyuan Lake."

Many literati boarded the boat together and kept giving advice to the surroundings.

Zhao Ping and Liang Shanqiu accompanied Nantian on board the boat.

The two sides of the Taiwan Strait slowly retreated, and the breeze gently caressed people's faces, making people feel particularly comfortable.

The pleasure boats slowly moved forward, the two sides retreated, and egrets flew through the air from time to time, allowing everyone to constantly look at the scenery on both sides.

Nantian looked around, but saw Taoyuan Lake among the valleys and told Zhao Ping that he was worried.

"This lake was just built, right?" He saw that the lake was still under the valley, and the willow branches that had just been planted.

Zhao Ping nodded and hurriedly said yes.

"Ping'er, I heard that it's really good to have Taoyuan Lake after only one month of work." Nan Tian praised it first.

But he changed the topic and said, "If you want to irrigate 100,000 acres of land, it may not be enough, and the water level is not very ideal."

"Indeed, this Taoyuan Lake does have these shortcomings." Zhao Ping nodded and continued: "The water surface will reach the parcel next year."

"What, Ping'er, you used Thunderbolt (ancient siphon) to suck Taoyuan Lake up, but Taoyuan Lake is obviously much lower than the mountain village and cannot be sucked up." Nan Tian shook his head and said after repeatedly looking at the mountain village and Taoyuan Lake.

"Of course, you can't suck it up with thirsty black." Zhao Ping nodded and said, "At present, this is only the first period, and there is still the second period."

"What is the second place?" Nan Tian didn't understand what Zhao Ping said.

"The second phase is to turn this lake from one zhang to three zhang." Zhao Ping expressed his plan.

Nantian looked at Taoyuan Lake and the mountain village on the hillside, but it was a small hill that could not be seen.

He sighed and asked, "Ping'er, it seems that you have worked very hard, but it is too difficult to become a three-meter-long man."

"It's not difficult, because this is built with fairy cement, a century-old project." He said, looking at the lake and the surrounding hills.

"Since it is a century-old project, there is no need to be any false." Nan Tian persuaded him earnestly.

Zhao Ping pointed to the direction of Jintang County and said, "It's okay, this fairy cement has built a bridge in Jintang County, and has withstood the impact of floods that have not been encountered in a century."

"What's more, the water of Taoyuan Lake is stagnant again." Zhao Ping said, pointing to the clear and transparent lake water.

"It seems that this fairy cement is indeed solid." Nan Tian thought for a while, nodded and asked, "Then when will you build the second phase?"

"There is no problem at the end of the year. If the weather is good, it may be possible to complete it in advance." Zhao Ping gave the answer.

"How much soil can be irrigated after the second phase is completed?" Nan Tian looked around and raised his questions.

Zhao Ping replied in a very affirmative tone, "For 100,000 acres of land, there is no problem that you can cope with at least one year's extreme drought."

Nan Tian's originally tense face showed a smile, and he asked, "I heard that you are going to plant 30,000 acres of tea trees here?"
