There is a little husband in the home of crossing

Afterwards, the village chief took him for a walk in the mountains, and looked at the paddy fields.

Li Yaonan pointed to a sloping field: "Why aren't rice planted over there?"

The village head glanced at him, the meaning in his eyes was obvious, he regarded him as a young master who didn't distinguish between grains, and explained: "The slope is higher, and there is no water for irrigation."

Li Yaonan was depressed. Although he did not distinguish between five grains, he had never eaten pork, and hadn't seen pigs run away. He wondered, "Why don't you use canals to irrigate? The terrain here is good, and terraced fields should be built."

The village head looked at him indifferently: "What are the terraced fields?"

Li Yaonan froze, his brows furrowed into a ball. Although he had seen terraced fields and knew the general principle, he knew nothing about farming, so he didn't know how to explain it in detail.

The village head stopped talking, and regarded Li Yaonan as a young master who was just getting involved in the world.

Li Yaonan thought for a while, broke off a branch, drew a few strokes on the ground, and said in simple and easy-to-understand words: "The terraced fields are built with rocks at suitable positions to form the prototype of the plot, and at the same time, they are built with a series of embankments. Conserving water sources, you see, for example, this is a sloping land, terraced fields rise slowly layer by layer, and channels are dug along the paddy fields..."

The more the village chief looked, the brighter his eyes became, and he was amazed. He didn't expect that the official was quite capable at such a young age. However, the village chief shook his head: "There is no water in the high place, how can there be a dam? Canals cannot be irrigated, and terraced fields are not feasible.”

Li Yaonan frowned: "Where is the nearby water source?"

The village chief led him, and walked slowly all the way, introducing the local people's conditions while walking, many villagers saw them, and would come forward to say hello warmly, the girl even pointed at Li Yaonan, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, from time to time Look over here.

Even though it was afternoon, there were still many girls washing clothes by the river, and some girls even sang folk songs to Li Yaonan, the anxious young man stared blankly, looking at Li Yaonan very unkindly.

The village chief kept a straight face all the way, and when he saw Li Yaonan not looking sideways, he relaxed. He didn't understand the rules of the official, but he would never let the girls in the village be abused.

Little did they know that Li Yaonan was rejoicing now that the village chief was by his side, and the bold girl was simply too much to bear.

When he came to the river, Li Yaonan looked around. It was more like a stream than a river. The water flow was very clear, and the water surface was not wide, about three meters long.

Li Yaonan stepped on a few stones, observed the surrounding terrain, walked upstream along the direction of the stream, and stopped until he could see the whole village. Waterfall: "If waterwheels are installed here, and several large ponds are being dug over there, do you think it is feasible to store water?"

The village head thought for a moment: "What is the waterwheel?"

Li Yaonan was speechless, and immediately felt a little discouraged, and waved his hands: "Forget it, is there a carpenter in the village?"

The village head nodded: "Yes, Awa's family has good craftsmanship. When I was young, I used to work for others in the town."

"Do you have pen and ink?" Li Yaonan asked suddenly, his tone was quite helpless, and he really didn't expect anything in his heart.

The village head thought for a while, then hesitated, "Can waste paper work?"

Li Yaonan twitched the corners of his lips: "Okay, waste paper is waste paper, I will draw a picture later, you let the carpenter do it, and try how the waterwheel works. If the village chief thinks it is feasible, I will solve the road problem. But the problem of farming..."

The village chief immediately said: "If the terraced fields are feasible, the old man will persuade the villagers."

Li Yaonan nodded. Seeing that it was getting late, he immediately went back with the village chief. He was not interested in staying here for one night. Not to mention that there were many mosquitoes in the mountains, it wasn't that he was being too pretentious, but that he was really not used to living here.

After returning, Li Yaonan assigned his subordinates to collect the mountain goods, and he himself drew a blueprint and explained it to the village head in detail, telling him how to install and use it.

After all, the village head was a farmer. After Li Yaonan explained it, he then drew inferences from one instance and instantly saw the benefits of the waterwheel.

Li Yaonan felt a little comforted in his heart, if the village chief still didn't know what to ask, he felt that he was about to go crazy.

After the waterwheel was settled, Li Yaonan asked the village chief for two people, both of whom were skilled hunters.

The village head didn't ask any further questions, knowing that Li Yaonan offered a monthly profit of three taels of silver, he did not hesitate to push out two strong boys, one of them was the Azhuzi they had met before, the village head didn't believe it until this moment, the man in front of him Sir, I really want to do something good for them.

Satisfied, Li Yaonan asked, "Are there any nearby villages with difficult mountain roads? The village chief will help to find out. If the roads are repaired, I will pay attention to the convenience of everyone, and will not just seek a cottage."

After hearing what he said, the village chief felt more at ease, and assured him: "Don't worry, Mr. Guan, I will definitely handle this matter well."

Li Yaonan nodded, and said: "By the way, before the matter is completed, remember not to leak the news, I don't want anyone to obstruct it."

The village chief's heart trembled, and he nodded hastily: "I will definitely not spread the matter to the outside world."

Li Yaonan nodded and smiled: "You don't have to be so nervous. If the village chief wants to find me, just ask Ah Zhuzi to pass on the message. In other villages, if the village chief is free, please contact me. It's best to find a few more young men. There is a shortage of yamen servants in the yamen, and I am not familiar with the place when I first came here, so it would be much more convenient for me to have local people to guide me."

The village chief automatically made up his mind, only when the official master wanted to do something, but encountered obstacles in the middle, Dang even patted his chest and said a lot of guarantees.

Li Yaonan just smiled and said nothing, although he didn't know what the village chief thought up, but this effect was what he wanted. The problem he wanted to solve at the moment was that no one could use it. To deal with the locals, he had to use the locals. The power of the mountain people cannot be underestimated.

As long as the interests of the mountain people are connected together, he is not afraid that he will not be able to break the momentum of several big families.

When I came, I was empty-handed, and when I went back, I returned with a full load.

Li Yaonan had a frowning face, he fully understood the difficulties of the mountain people, it was not easy to move things down the mountain, luckily the village head sent several people to escort them, otherwise he might not be able to go back to the town overnight.

A group of people drove through the night, and heard ghosts crying and howling wolves in the forest at night. Li Yaonan's tired footsteps instantly became brisk, and when they returned, it was nearly an hour faster than when they came, and their potential was indeed forced out.

After arriving at the inn, Li Yaonan asked someone to arrange the guest room. Since it was already night, the shopkeeper arranged some things casually, everyone ate and drank, washed up and went to bed quickly.

When Li Yaonan returned to the bedroom, he realized that there were several blisters on the soles of his feet. This was due to the application of medicine, otherwise it might have been more serious.The officials and masters on TV observe people's sentiments, travel around mountains and rivers, eat, drink and have fun, uphold justice, and then play a domineering trick, which is definitely a lie.

The next day, Li Yaonan treated the mountain people to a big meal, bought a lot of gifts after that, and sent them away in the afternoon

Hurrying back to Tongpan Mansion, it was already night, and it was the first time for A Zhuzi and Sha Zai to come to such an exquisite mansion. They looked around carefully along the way, for fear of breaking something.

Li Yaonan smiled broadly, telling them not to be nervous, to be as casual as possible, and to arrange errands for them in a few days.

Feeling anxious, A Zhuzi and Sha Zai settled down in the Tongpan mansion. They wore silk clothes, ate fragrant rice, and had meat every day. They felt it was like a dream.

The two simple and honest young men admired Li Yaonan the most.

However, Li Yaonan knew in his heart that the matter was not over yet, no matter how many ideas he had, if he couldn't implement them, everything would be just talk on paper.

Road construction requires money, and the Ministry of Household Affairs will definitely not allocate funds, so you have to figure out a way to make people willing to pay for it. In fact, Li Yaonan has already fixed his eyes on several big families, but he has no one in his hands. Repeatedly delayed.

Li Yaonan took out the prepared map, lightly drew a stroke on Qili Village, and then moved his eyes to the surrounding villages. He gave himself a month to draw all the villages and towns near Qili Village together, and repaired them. After the road, the first thing he wanted to get rid of was the county magistrate of Lin County. What would he do with such a useless thing?

When he came to the yamen the next day, Li Yaonan discussed with the magistrate, trying to get some people to work in the yamen.

Zhifu He knew in his heart that Mr. Li wanted to install people, and he had no objection to this. This kind of thing happened frequently in the officialdom, as long as it didn't hinder him.

Tongzhi was unwilling, and said displeasedly: "The number of people in the yamen is regulated, how can we add them at will, Mr. Li doesn't even understand the rules."

Li Yaonan smiled lightly, but was not angry: "The lower official understands, so the general judge is going to change people."

Master Li was choked: "The Yamen has never made a mistake, and it is probably inappropriate for Master Li to act like this."

Li Yaonan curled the corners of his lips: "Since he is an acquaintance, I don't have the guts to order it around. It's better to return it to the adults."

"You..." Li Xuezhen was so angry that his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Prefect He's business has nothing to do with him.

Li Yaonan said casually: "I just went to the emperor to give a memorial, and the situation in Yunnan is indeed unsatisfactory."

Magistrate He was startled: "Why doesn't this official know?"

Li Yaonan smiled lightly: "My official is a secret book, so how dare you bother the magistrate."

He Zhifu's face was slightly gloomy, and he knew that Li Tongpan had other channels.

Li Tongzhi's complexion is also not good. Master Li's words like this are tantamount to putting him on the opposite side, and said coldly: "Master Li came to Yuxi to take up his post, and he hasn't met the governor yet."

Li Yaonan frowned, not surprised by this, and said indifferently: "It's okay, my husband is from Jingyanghou Mansion, I think the governor will give me some face."

Li Tongzhi's face is ashen, he himself relies on his wife for his position, although he doesn't like Li Yaonan, but facing the prominent family in the capital, he feels admiration and jealousy at the same time, why can't he marry such a good wife, even if it is a husband. .

Li Yaonan didn't mind making them feel a little jealous, so that he could handle things better. People said that the new official took office three fires, and he endured it for a full month. Of course, this fire will burn stronger and more vigorously!

"What exactly does Mr. Li mean?" Zhifu He's eyes were dim, he understood that Mr. Li couldn't mention the emperor for no reason.

Li Tongzhi turned his head and looked over, no matter how dissatisfied he was, Tong San was the emperor's confidant after all, and he had the backing of Jingyang Hou Mansion, so he had to give some face.

Li Yaonan smiled slightly: "I have nothing else to ask for, I just hope that when I am doing business, the two adults can just turn a blind eye and close one eye." After a pause, he added: "Don't worry, my lords. Not too much."

Zhifu He breathed a sigh of relief, he has always been a fool, and he is proficient in making mud, which is not difficult for him.

Li Tongzhi thought for a while, and responded with a smile on his face. The so-called one moment and another moment, Li Yaonan has such a backer, no matter what he does, his wife is a daughter of the Yi nationality, so it can't be involved in him, and maybe he can pick it up. There are a lot of benefits, and the rest is up to him. Anyway, Mr. Li also said that he will not go too far.

Li Yaonan accepted it as soon as he saw it. After all, a strong dragon would not overwhelm a local snake. He understood that his words would at most make them fearful, but in reality it would not have much effect. However, this was enough!
