different devil life

Wang Zhong stretched out his finger and said: "First of all, before the people have money, they must be fed. Only when they are full can they go to production! Why haven't everyone been full all these years? It's not because of wars, nor because of Everyone is lazy, but because of the drought."

In this area, the annual precipitation is not much, but it is a plain area, and there is plenty of land.

Just because the amount of water is not enough, there are a lot of empty land, but the output is not high.

"I know it's because of the drought, but isn't it because there's not enough precipitation here?"

Lu Bai really didn't understand what Wang Zhong should do, because what Wang Zhong said was a fact that everyone knew, it was no secret that there was little precipitation here.

So Wang Zhong came up with an idea, that is to dig water storage canals in every village.

Digging ditches is a concept that only existed in modern agriculture.

Especially after World War II, canals were dug in every village in the south to solve the problem of water shortage.

With the canal, the water after precipitation on weekdays will be stored in the canal, and fish and shrimps can be raised in the canal on weekdays, which not only solves the problem of water resources, but also gives the people an additional source of food, which kills two birds with one stone. .

"Dig the ditch!"

Lu Bai stroked his beard and said, "Is this really okay?"

In ancient times, there was no scientific concept. They didn't know that concentrating water could reduce the evaporation of water.

"Of course, but the canals have to be dug in low-lying areas so that the water can pool together in rainy days."

"I can let the villages implement this."

Wang Zhong continued: "The second method is to dig more wells, preferably one for each household."

After coming to this world, Wang Zhong discovered that there are not many wells in this world. It's not that people don't want to dig wells, but because there is not enough groundwater here. Many people dig a lot of land, but find that there is no water all the time.

"Hey!"

Hearing Wang Zhong's method, Lu Bai thought to himself that being young is really young, how could they not have thought of the method of digging a well, it is really not efficient.

So he just shook his head, talked about the situation here, and said, "So the method of digging a well may not be easy to implement."

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "As for where to dig, leave it to me."

"Leave it to you?" Lu Bai was stunned, he didn't expect Wang Zhong to have this method: "Su San, can you really understand where there is water?"

"Of course."

Wang Zhong was very confident. After he became the nearby mouse king, he understood the situation of the entire region.

Mice are very good at digging holes, especially some wild mice. The holes they dig are very deep, and sometimes they dig a lot of groundwater. Therefore, it is easy for him to know which places are easy to dig wells and which places are not suitable.

Seeing Wang Zhong's confident appearance, to be honest, Lu Bai felt incredible at first, and wanted to trust Wang Zhong in his heart, but... It's a bit of a fantasy to see where it is easy to dig a well.

So he didn't really believe it: "Su San, it's not that I don't want to believe you, but that throughout the ages, there have been many people who are said to be able to see wells, but in the end they were all proven to be scammers. Don't do these things for the sake of temporary success!"

Wang Zhong understood that Lu Bai was worried that he wanted to cheat money.

He said he was a little speechless, he wanted to take a shortcut, just steal it directly, is there still a need for this?

"Don't worry, Lord City Master, if you don't believe me, I will implement it in my house first, and then let everyone in our village have wells and water to drink!"

"Okay, if you really succeed, I'll make you a city guard." After finishing speaking, Lu Bai laughed and said, "I know you don't like restraint, so this official position doesn't mean to restrict you, it's just that you It will be more convenient for you to exercise your rights, and at the same time, you are also my person, I dare not say anything else, but here you can rest assured that no one will dare to touch you."

Wang Zhong has lived here for so long, of course he knows what a city guard is.

The so-called city guards mean that the city lord's direct subordinates are responsible for the city lord.

This position is relatively free, so Wang Zhong is very satisfied and nodded his thanks.

The two discussed the details carefully, and then the City Lord's Mansion sent craftsmen to dig a well in the front yard of Su Xiaolan's house.

Three days later, the well was finally dug.

Looking at the clear spring overflowing from the bottom, everyone was excited. Having water means that everyone does not have to worry about running out of water. As long as it is not an extreme drought, everyone is not afraid of running out of water.

The news spread like wildfire, and everyone in the village knew that there was a man named Su San, who was very smart and could tell at a glance where there was water and could dig wells.

Ever since, I don't know when, Wang Zhong got another nickname, and everyone called him Little Ditch Digger.

It doesn't mean he can dig ditches, but it means he can see where there is a lot of water.

........................

"There is water in this place, and excavation here."

"Although there is water in this place, the rocks at the bottom are hard. There is no suitable place near your house, but there is a place under your dining table that is suitable for digging."

"You don't have a proper water source under your house, but there is a place in your vegetable garden..."

Wang Zhong walked in the village, and every time he visited a family, he instructed them where to dig water, and then these families began to dig by themselves.

Due to the low efficiency of ancient work, digging a well often takes about a day.

Ten days later, almost every household in this small village had a well dug.

The news spread to the neighboring villages, the village head and some villagers brought a lot of gifts and found Wang Zhong.

"Master Su, please help, our village is also short of water, please go over and help us take a look." The old village head told Wang Zhong with snot and tears.

In fact, he doesn't have to do this, Wang Zhong will definitely help, after all, he is the city guard now.

Glancing at the gifts they brought, there are quite a few, such as grain, oil, pork, mutton, and some chickens and ducks, all of which are live.

"Xiaolan, take all of these."

"Oh."

Now Su Xiaolan seems to be Wang Zhong's little follower, accompanying Wang Zhong to fight.

Standing with his hands behind his back, Wang Zhong said to the old village chief, "Don't worry, everyone, serving the people is my dream since I was a child, and I will handle the matter in my hands as soon as possible."

"About a few days?"

"Two days later."

"Okay, thank you Mr. Su."

Wang Zhong gave himself two days, of course not to really deal with the matter at hand, but to let the mice over there explore the trend of the groundwater.

That night, Wang Zhong went there, turned into a mouse, and dealt with the local mice.

In fact, there are rat kings in every realm. These rat kings are usually large in size and live in large nests, where many female mice are raised.

Wang Zhong knew about this area of ​​mouse kings from other little mice, so he went to the door and asked them to help explore the groundwater.

"Exploring groundwater is also good for us. Human beings have grown food, and they can eat enough to feed us."

Wang Zhongxin thought, the Shu King should know such a simple and easy-to-understand principle, right?

It's a pity that he overestimated the IQ of this mouse king.

"Why can we eat enough when human beings are full? What are you talking about, are you fooling me? I see that you mouse is getting impatient, and you dare to come to my house, and I will bite you to death!"

After hearing what the mouse king said, Wang Zhong was speechless.

He reckoned that the IQ of this mouse king was not as good as the previous big mouse.

At least, the previous big mouse knew how to use the mice to pay tribute to feed it, but this mouse king didn't understand at all.

'Perhaps, this is the IQ that mice should have. '

The reason why the previous big mouse was so smart was because he drank the spiritual spring there, otherwise he would be the same as this mouse king, still staying at the level of fighting for an acre of land.

The mouse king was easily dealt with, and a group of female mice in the nest were all trembling with fright.

"My lord, you will be our king from now on."

"We only serve you, and we will give birth to many little mice."

"Come on, my lord."

A female mouse is full of affection, and mice, like ordinary animals, also worship the strong.

Wang Zhong's ability to easily kill their rat king had already proved his strength and ability to reproduce.

To be honest, due to the instinct of the mouse body, when Wang Zhong looked at these mice, he really felt that they were pretty.

But he is still human after all.

At least he is a human being in his heart, so in the end he didn't touch a few female mice.

After ordering a group of mice to search for groundwater, the mice in this area started a vigorous search for water sources.

..............................

Two days later, Wang Zhong and Su Xiaolan went to the neighboring village. Once they passed, they were warmly welcomed by the village chief and the villagers.

The villagers are carrying hoes and shovels one by one, and they are already ready to go.

As long as Wang Zhong pointed out where to dig, they would dig there.

The first thing Wang Zhong came to was the village chief's house. Last night, according to reports from some mice, the backyard of the village chief's house had plenty of water.

"Here, dig!"

After Wang Zhong gave an order, several villagers rushed up and started digging.

Afterwards, Wang Zhong's family walked over.

This village is smaller than the one Su Xiaolan lives in, so it took only one day to complete the tour.

Three days later, the good news came that the wells in the neighboring village had been dug, and now, like here, every household has water.

As the news spread farther and farther, Wang Zhong's nickname changed from a ditch digger to a ditch master.

When many people saw him, they were extremely polite, because it was Wang Zhong, so that everyone didn't have to travel long distances to fetch water.

Chapter 535 You beg me

In addition to teaching everyone to dig wells, under Wang Zhong's suggestion, the City Lord's Mansion also called on the village chiefs to start digging ditches in every township and county.

This campaign was given a nice name by Wang Zhong, called Water Storage Plan for Rational Growth of Crops.

The name is simple and easy to understand. For the villagers who can't read big characters, they don't need to explain it, they already understand it.

Of course, this plan is too big, so the city lord's mansion did not give a certain amount of time, but let the villagers of each village take turns to dig the ditch. Dig in every day.

Nowadays, Wang Zhong seems to have become a celebrity in the villages far and near. Master Ditch Digging is the respectful title for him.

The plan to improve people's livelihood has been implemented, and Wang Zhong also started the plan to make Su Xiaolan rich.

He earned a lot of money by giving advice on digging wells, so he brought Su Xiaolan to the county town to open a rice shop.

According to his thinking, rice belongs to food, and there is no shortage of business at any time.

In the previous world, although he had never opened this kind of business, he had also come into contact with it. Those who opened rice shops had good business.

It's a pity that Su Xiaolan doesn't seem to care about opening a rice shop, so it's Wang Zhong who is looking for it.

The location of the rice shop has been found, and the previous owner of the shop has quit, but this shop belongs to the Lu family.

After knowing the news, it was easy for Wang Zhong, so he found Lu Shang.

The reason why he didn't look for Lu Bai was because as the lord of the city, Lu Bai took care of everything every day, so how could he manage a small shop?

And the business affairs are basically managed by Lu Shang, so of course he went to Lu Shang.

........................

"No rent."

Sitting in the teahouse, Lu Shang looked at Wang Zhong who came to beg her to rent a shop, feeling secretly refreshed.

Let you ignore me before, let you reject me before, and I also reject you.

Wang Zhong was taken aback for a moment, he originally thought that the relationship between him and the Lu family was very good, but he did not expect this to happen.

"Why don't you rent it?" Wang Zhong couldn't figure it out. He had inquired about the shop, and no one rented it at all. There was also a notice for renting at the door, but it would be like this.

Lu Shang took a sip of tea and said slowly, "I haven't made up my mind yet. I'm thinking about starting some business by myself in this shop."

What a fart, it's been shut down for two months.

Wang Zhong slandered in his heart, seeing Lu Shang like this, Wang Zhong guessed, did he provoke her somewhere?

In fact, Lu Shang's rejection of Wang Zhong at this time was not really a rejection.

After all, Wang Zhong helped her father a lot, and also helped her revitalize the inn. Now the inn's grilled fish business is very good.
