Scholar and old attack

Fang Xinli was so frightened that Han Maoli stood up in a cold sweat all over his body, just a little bit, that Lei Ke fell on him.

Hurry away from the dangerous area with lightning speed.

However, God seemed to be deliberately playing tricks on him.

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

Three consecutive thunderclaps sounded, and not long after, the sky, which was still sunny just now, suddenly became cloudy.

Jiang Jingyuan carried the burden and went to Wang Linjie's tent again. When he came out, he saw the sky like this, his face was cloudy and uncertain.

"Okay, it's going to rain."

When Wang Linjie heard the thunder, his face became extremely ugly, and now it was so dark that ink could drip.

As the governor, he is naturally aware of the increase in the water level of the Qingshui River, and similar things have happened in previous years. He thought that this time he could escape the catastrophe as in previous years.

Unexpectedly, luck was a bit bad this time.

"Everyone hurry up and raise the embankment as much as possible, and all the soldiers also go to help, as fast as they can."

Wang Linjie's reaction was also very quick. It was important to step up the time to consolidate the dam before the rain fell.

"In addition, it is mandatory to call everyone in the surrounding villages except the elderly and children to come and help."

Jiang Jingyuan's eyebrows twitched violently. He ran to the embankment and looked around. It was obvious that the water level had increased by another knot, and the impact of the water flow was also getting stronger.

I saw that the thunder in the sky was still flickering, and I'm afraid it won't be long before it rains.

"Hey, I really didn't mean it. How did I know that I would be struck by lightning if I said a word?"

Fang Xinli looked at Jiang Jingyuan with a sad face. He really didn't mean it. If he knew that saying that sentence would cause a thunderstorm, he would keep his mouth shut if he was killed.

"Shut up, you better talk less." Wei Liangjun frowned, also with a sad expression on his face.

Jiang Jingyuan ignored these two guys, and returned to his tent as quickly as possible, took out the charcoal pen and paper, and quickly drew out the surrounding terrain he had seen.

Time is running out, the picture is very abstract, if you don't pay attention to it, you can't tell what it is.

"Brother Wei, I really didn't do it on purpose." Fang Xinli was still a little terrified. The thunder just now was really close to him.

This caused him to have serious self-doubt, whether it was his crow's mouth that caused the trouble.

"Hey, since you know that your crow's mouth caused the trouble, then close your mouth, and if you talk again, if something happens again, it will not be enough to atone for your sin."

Wei Liangjun was so annoyed by Fang Xinli that he couldn't help it. He was a man no matter what, so he didn't have any masculinity when something happened.

I wanted to scold him, but when I looked up and saw his flustered face, for some reason, I couldn't say anything to accuse him.

Fang Xinli closed his mouth and said nothing, but anyone could see the anxiety in his heart.

"It's none of your business. That Dao Lei should be just a coincidence. If the two of you are okay, help me see how wide the surrounding farmland is. It's best to record it for me. I'm useful."

Jiang Jingyuan was meditating while drawing, and finally moved his gaze to the large farmland on the picture, which he circled heavily with charcoal.

"Hey, okay, I'm going to make up for it."

Fang Xinli said that he rushed out of the tent in a hurry.

"Go borrow a horse and go faster. You can go as far as you can, and go faster." Seeing that he was walking in a hurry, Jiang Jingyuan reminded him again.

"Understood." When the voice came, the person had already walked away.

"Then I'll go too." Wei Liangjun was a little embarrassed, Jiang Jingyuan was much younger than him, and he was still not used to listening to someone younger than him.

"Well, please." Jiang Jingyuan nodded, thanked him, and went to the embankment of Qingshui River without stopping, paying close attention to it all the time.

"Quicker."

"Haven't you eaten yet?"

"Everyone cheers me up."

There were urging voices everywhere on the embankment, and everyone wished that their speed could be faster, faster.

The folks who heard the thunder were not stupid. They knew that something big was about to happen. If the dam was not blocked, no one would be able to escape if the levee burst.

"It can't go on like this. These folks don't have much food and don't have much strength in their bodies. Even if they are urged, they won't get up quickly."

Jiang Jingyuan said with some worry.

"Then add more rice and more meat. Tonight's meal is open for supply. If you can't escape this disaster, it's useless to keep more food."

As soon as Wang Linjie walked to Jiang Jingyuan's side, he heard Jiang Jingyuan's murmur and gritted his teeth.

Soon someone conveyed Wang Linjie's words.Sure enough, the morale of the civilian husband has increased a little, even if he is about to die, he can be a full-fledged ghost anyway.

In the end, I was not happy for too long, after another burst of thunder rolled over, the sky began to rain.

"It's coming so fast, it's too late in time. It's estimated that the embankment will burst tomorrow morning." Jiang Jingyuan calculated according to the amount of rainfall, feeling a little sad in his heart.

Wang Linjie handed Jiang Jingyuan an umbrella, "Why don't you go back first, and escape with your family at this time, there is still time."

Jiang Jingyuan took the umbrella, caught some rain with his palm, shook his head and refused, "Where can we escape to?"

If you run away today, will you run away when you encounter such difficulties in the future?

"I didn't expect you to have a lot of backbone." Wang Linjie smiled and praised, "I didn't expect you to be courageous at such a young age."

Not long after Wang Linjie finished speaking, a few talented scholars came to Wang Linjie with umbrellas.

Wang Linjie frowned, "Let's talk about something."

"Reporting to the governor, the students suddenly remembered that there are still some things that have not been dealt with at home. Can you ask the governor for forgiveness and let the students go back to deal with family affairs."

The faces of these scholars are also ugly. They are still young and don't want to die. If the embankment breaks, everyone present will not be able to escape.

Going home at this time, they can still take their family and leave. As long as they leave Wutong County and Datong, they can live comfortably in another place.

Wang Linjie glanced at the crowd coldly, and several scholars couldn't hold back a shudder, looking at Wang Linjie anxiously and fearfully.

In the end Wang Linjie nodded and agreed, "Okay, let's go."

Several scholars were overjoyed, and thanked Wang Linjie one after another, and ran out of the camp without looking back.

"A group of cowards, they will be so useless in this life." Wang Linjie sighed disdainfully as he looked at this group of scholars who had fled.

"Everyone's choice is different, and it can't be said that they are greedy for life and afraid of death."

Jiang Jingyuan thought differently from him, people have the right to decide their own life and death, not to mention that this group of scholars really has no obligation to stay here to wait for death.

After all, there is hope only when a person is alive, but there is really nothing when a person is dead.

"That's right." Wang Linjie thought for a while, and then agreed with Jiang Jingyuan's words.

With the example of the scholars who left before, several waves of scholars came one after another, and they all came to ask to leave.

With a wave of his hand, Wang Linjie let them all go. Instead of leaving this group of people panicked in the camp, it is better to let them go and find a way out.

After dealing with the affairs of the scholars, Wang Linjie looked up and saw Jiang Jingyuan still frowning in thought, and stepped forward with a smile and said, "Don't be too pessimistic, you kid, do you know the province next door?"

"Weichuan province?"

"Well, yesterday I sent someone to Weichuan to deliver the letter. They have a large reservoir next to the junction of our Datong."

Wang Linjie said slowly.

"As long as it rains on our side, they will open the gate to bring the water from the Qingshui River into the reservoir, but there is a time limit. They can only open the gate for two days at most, otherwise we will not suffer in Datong. will also suffer."

Wang Linjie was holding an umbrella, and the noise of raindrops was mixed with his speech.

"In that case, it's not that the imperial court has not made preparations." Jiang Jingyuan smiled lightly, and he knew that it was impossible for the imperial court not to make any preparations.

Otherwise, after so many years, Datong would have ceased to exist.

Wang Linjie laughed heartily, "That's why I admire you very much. You chose to stay even though you knew you were going to die. This time, you have passed the examination. Next year, the examiners in Datong will give you priority in admitting you."

"This is not the ultimate goal. I have always been curious why the governor tolerated me again and again."

Jiang Jingyuan held his umbrella and raised his head slightly. Since he first saw Wang Linjie this time, Wang Linjie seemed to have a different feeling for him.

But this feeling was well hidden by Wang Linjie, if Jiang Jingyuan was not too sensitive, he would not have noticed it.

"It's not good for you to be too shrewd, Zaohui Zaoyao." Wang Linjie pursed his lips, but Jiang Jingyuan still noticed it.

"My lord, this is not something you should worry about. The student thinks that the student is not yet so Huimin that the heavens are jealous."

He is just relying on a little knowledge of later generations and his own vigilance, which is not really smart.

"The last human trafficking case was handled well. My teacher admires you very much."

Wang Linjie thought about it, but he still didn't hide it. Anyway, with Jiang Jingyuan's cleverness, he must be able to guess something.

"So I'm the one who really wants to investigate this corvee after taking so much trouble?" Jiang Jingyuan quickly thought of the key point, and to be honest, he was really flattered.

To be favored by a great Confucian who is full of peaches and plums, everyone must have the same mentality as him.

"Isn't this a great honor, no matter how I look at you, you don't feel happy at all."

Wang Linjie had been watching Jiang Jingyuan's expression, thinking that Jiang Jingyuan would be ecstatic when he guessed the truth, but he still underestimated Jiang Jingyuan.

Jiang Jingyuan smiled and did not answer Wang Linjie's words.

If he said that all of this was in his plan, I don't know if it would make Wang Linjie angry.

In fact, he can't be regarded as a good person in the true sense. When he rescued those children, he really didn't think about the layout.

It's just that the county magistrate mentioned that when the abducted woman had nowhere to go, a plan appeared in his mind instantly.

Get Gu Renhuai's favor.

A great Confucian who is full of peaches and plums, even a person who can lift weights like light in the court, if he can gain his favor, even if he does not become his disciple, the road to the imperial examination will go much smoother in the future.

And even if you can't get a good impression, you don't lose money, and opening a wine shop can add a little income to your family.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Wang Linjie looked at the galloping river with some emotion, "After this time, you will become my younger brother, and you should change your name in the future."

"My lord, is it too early to be happy? Let's get through this catastrophe first. Wei Chuan can help us delay it for two days at most. What should we do after two days?"

Jiang Jingyuan frowned tightly, and his expression was not very optimistic.

----

"You mean the rain won't stop for a while." Wang Linjie was dumbfounded, and his throat felt a little congested.

Jiang Jingyuan nodded heavily, "I have observed the river water in the past few days, and the increase in the river water is doubling every day. If there is no accident, it is raining in most parts of our south, and there are many places There is heavy rain."

Wang Linjie nodded. Jiang Jingyuan was right. It was indeed raining in the south. There was a flood in Suzhou a few days ago. Fortunately, the rescue was timely and did not cause too many casualties.

"Your Excellency, do you think that the dam in Wutong County can be kept in two days under the heavy rain in the south?" Jiang Jingyuan had no idea, unless the rain stopped within two days.

But that's clearly unlikely.

Therefore, the reservoir in Weichuan can only save the lives of the people in Wutong County for two days at most.

Wang Linjie thought about it for a while, and felt that what Jiang Jingyuan said made sense. Everyone said that the south hadn't had such a heavy rain for many years, and all of a sudden, it was going to rain all these years all at once.

It was clear that the rain would not stop for two days.

It is too late to ask the court for help within two days. It takes two days to get to the capital quickly, and four days to go back and forth.

Wang Linjie was well aware of the nature of those people in the imperial court, and even a little bit of old sesame seed and rotten millet could be involved for several days. By the time they negotiated a charter, Wutong County would probably cease to exist long ago.

But he has thought of all the ways he can think of.

Wang Linjie thought about it and walked back to his tent, ready to go back and think about it to see if there was any other way.

Jiang Jingyuan glanced at the peasants who were still busy in the rain, and sighed silently. In fact, no matter what, it was the people at the bottom who were the saddest.

Seeing them one by one, even if they fell into the muddy water, they had to stand up with all their strength and carry the sandbags to the embankment.

Working so hard is to hope to keep my hometown. If my home is gone, I will have nothing.

Thinking about it, Jiang Jingyuan's gaze has moved to a place far, far away.

I don't know if Ah Zhou and the others have left Wutong County, I hope to leave, once the flood breaks out, there is really no way to run.

He couldn't leave, but he hoped that Ah Zhou could do well, and if something happened, he could live on with his share.

Thinking of Ah Zhou and thinking of that warm home, the tip of his nose became sore, and his eyes turned red as if sand had been poured into them.

I really want to go home and hug my wife.

"Yu~Yu"

The roar of the horse pierced the sky, and at the same time interrupted Jiang Jingyuan's train of thought. He turned around and saw Fang Xinli galloping towards him on a horse.

"Appreciate~"

Fang Xinli stood in front of Jiang Jingyuan and reined in his horse, while Wei Liangjun followed closely behind him.

"Fang Xinli, you don't want to die. If you run so fast, if you fall, you will have to take half your life even if you don't die."

Wei Liangjun wiped the rainwater off his face while talking, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, hitting his face, he couldn't even open his eyes, and a lot of rainwater poured in when he spoke.

"I, cough cough cough—"

Fang Xinli coughed violently as soon as he opened his mouth, and the rain poured into his mouth desperately, irritating his already itchy throat.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Wei Liangjun got off his horse to check it out, but Fang Xinli also got off his horse, his foot slipped and he almost fell into the mud.

If Wei Liangjun hadn't caught him when he reacted quickly, he would have been waiting for a mouthful of mud.

Jiang Jingyuan found a bigger umbrella for them, "Go back and change your clothes before discussing. I'll wait for you in my tent."

"En." Wei Liangjun replied, and helped Fang Xinli into his tent.

As soon as they entered the tent, Fang Xinli and Wei Liangjun stared wide-eyed, looking at each other without speaking first.

"Are you stupid? Change your clothes. I want to change if you don't want to change. As for clothes, lend me a set first."

At this time, because many scholars had left, only the two of them were left in the empty tent.

Wei Liangjun didn't choose either. The tent he chose was far away from Fang Xinli's tent. Anyway, they were both men, so they changed together.

"You have to change back to your own tent and go out." Fang Xinli's face darkened instantly.

Wei Liangjun was dumbfounded, "Fang Xinli, you are a bit too much, I was the savior who helped you just now, and it has only been a while before you turn your face and deny anyone."

"Get out, get out, change back to your tent, my clothes are smaller than yours."

Fang Xinli stood up straight and pushed Wei Liangjun out of his tent.

"Fang Xinli! I really have you, even if you kneel down and beg me to save you next time, I won't save you." Wei Liangjun was really angry this time.

Putting down a harsh sentence, he walked towards his tent in the rain. It is true that Fang Xinli is a little shorter than him, but it is not impossible to wear clothes. Wait for him to change, and then go back and change it back for him.

Unload the mill and kill the donkey, throw it away after use, who is it?

Fortunately, he used to think that although Fang Xinli always won the first place in Wutong County with him, at least his character is not bad. He didn't expect that he was blind to see the wrong person.

The further Wei Liangjun walked, the heavier the rain, and he couldn't even see the road ahead, let alone find his own tent. He gritted his teeth and prepared to go back to Fang Xinli's tent to get an umbrella.

Fang Xinli stood in the tent and looked at Wei Liangjun's leaving back. He was relieved and began to take off his clothes.

When the wet clothes were taken off one by one, a bright red lotus flower appeared on his shoulder at this moment.

"call--"

Fang Xinli touched the lotus flowers on his shoulders, and found out his clothes to change into.

At this moment, Wei Liangjun pulled back the cloth of the tent and said viciously, "It's okay for me to get my own umbrella."

After drying his blurry eyes, Wei Liangjun saw Fang Xinli with his upper body bare, and a touch of beauty on his shoulders.

He tried his best to widen his eyes, blinked them vigorously, and finally rubbed them to make sure he read correctly.

"Have you seen enough?" Fang Xinli pulled the quilt to cover his body, and threw something at Wei Liangjun.

"You've seen enough, get the hell out!" Fang Xinli was so angry that he wanted to cry, his words choked up a little.

"Ah, that, that's sorry."

Wei Liangjun reacted, turned his back immediately, and walked out of the tent with an apologetic face, but found that he did not bring an umbrella, and wanted to turn around to go back to get it, but his feet were immobilized again.

I can't move my legs.

His head is also a little groggy, his classmate seems to be a brother?

Although most of Geer's logos are on the back of the hands, there are also some that grow in other places.

He and Fang Xinli have known each other since childhood, how could he be a brother, he shouldn't be.

Wei Liangjun felt that he couldn't turn his head around.

Could it be that he was wrong just now!

Yes, most likely a mistake.

It's normal to have cloudy eyes on a rainy day.

"Brother Fang, please throw out the umbrella, and I'll go back to my tent." Wei Liangjun thought it was impossible, but he didn't dare to move his body.

After Fang Xinli changed his clothes, he casually grabbed an umbrella and threw it to Wei Liangjun, roaring angrily, "Wei Liangjun, if you dare to tell what happened today, we, Fang Xinli, are at odds with you!"

"Ah, I don't know anything." Wei Liangjun's face suddenly became bitter, and what Fang Xinli said seemed to be true.

How is this possible, and how will he face Fang Xinli in the future.

On the way back to his tent, Wei Liangjun patted his head. He thought a lot at this moment, thinking of the time when he and Fang Xinli were studying.

The two families were originally family friends, and he and Fang Xinli had a good time since they were young, but I don't know how they developed into irreconcilable rivals later.

Wei Liangjun went through all his memories along the way, thinking of the day before he and Fang Xinli had an affair, he seemed to be dragging Fang Xinli to the toilet together.

At that time, Fang Xinli refused to take off his pants.

And then, he kind of took off his pants, and...

From that day on, Fang Xinli never gave him any face, and even opposed him everywhere, trying to overwhelm him.

The more Wei Liangjun thought about it, the darker his face became. He really didn't know that Fang Xinli was a brother, otherwise he wouldn't have...

Dizzy, he changed his clothes and came to Jiang Jingyuan's tent. Fang Xinli was already inside. As soon as he saw Wei Liangjun, he rolled his eyes, turned his face away with a cold face.

"That Xinli, I'm sorry, I don't know..." When Wei Liangjun saw that Fang Xinli looked like a child who had done something wrong, his hands and feet became cramped.

"You, say one more word, and I'll chop you up and throw you into the river to feed the fish." Fang Xinli was so angry that he wanted to throw Wei Liangjun out immediately.

"Okay, I won't say anything, but if you feel uneasy, you can give me a good beating." Wei Liangjun can't wait to go back to the past and slap himself twice.

make you blind.

"Why are you having a conflict?" Jiang Jingyuan propped his elbows on his knees, half-closed his eyes, and felt that the two people in front of him seemed to have a story.

Hearing Jiang Jingyuan's conversation, the two immediately answered in unison.

Fang Xinli shook his head, "No."

Wei Liangjun nodded, "Yes."

The two looked at each other, and immediately changed their answers.

Fang Xinli nodded, "Yes."

Wei Liangjun shook his head, "No."

Jiang Jingyuan rubbed his chin and felt that not only was something wrong with the two of them, but there was also a sour smell floating in the air.

It felt a little wrong again, since both of them were men, it must be that he was thinking wrongly.

"Okay, let's put aside the conflict between the two of you, and tell me what you have gained from this trip." Jiang Jingyuan took out his charcoal pencil again, ready to take notes at any time.

Fang Xinli gave Wei Liangjun a knife eye. Wei Liangjun lowered his head, not daring to meet Fang Xinli's eyes.

"We are all farmland all the way to the east. There are large tracts of farmland, and the rice in the fields has been harvested by the people."

Jiang Jingyuan drew farmland on the east side of his original topographic map, and then asked, "Then are there still rice harvesters?"

Fang Xinli shook his head, "I asked if there would be any unharvested ones. It's already August. If the rice is not harvested, the rice will be rotten in the ground, and it is rainy in August and September, so it is impossible that there will be unharvested ones. At least where I walked, I didn't see any that hadn't been harvested."

Fang Xinli was also not sure whether rice was confiscated in other places, so he added one more sentence.

"Well, is there a lot of dry land next to the paddy fields?" Jiang Jingyuan made a mark and continued to ask.

"Not much, at least the area I went to is not much. Our Wutong County has a lot of mountains and forests. Most of the people open up dry land on the mountains to save taxes, so that sometimes they can avoid taxes."

In the past, Fang Xinli was a son-in-law who didn't know the hard work of the farmers. This time he took a trip by himself, and after seeing and asking more questions, he gradually experienced the shabby condition.

The agricultural tax in the Ming Dynasty was really not high, only [-]%, but this [-]% could sometimes be used to save lives.

The Ming Dynasty stipulated that no agricultural tax was levied for the development of mountainous areas, so the people had to do so in order to survive.

"En." Jiang Jingyuan drew a circle on the paper and wrote down another word.

----

"If you two have any conflicts, you can resolve them yourself. I will go to the governor to talk about something."

After Jiang Jingyuan finished writing, he went to Wang Linjie's tent with a pen and paper.

"My lord, the students have a plan, do you want to listen to it?" Jiang Jingyuan lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in with a smile.

"Oh, let's hear it." Wang Linjie was also thinking hard when he heard Jiang Jingyuan say that he had a solution.eyes lit up.

Jiang Jingyuan laid the paper he brought in front of Wang Linjie, and talked to Wang Linjie, "Please look, my lord, this is our current location to the south, here is the location of Qingshui River, and there is a large area of ​​farmland to the east."

Jiang Jingyuan was afraid that Wang Linjie would not understand his drawing, so he pointed it out carefully for him.

"I know, you don't need to bother so much and just give me your solution." Wang Linjie understood the picture drawn by Jiang Jingyuan after reading it once, and didn't want Jiang Jingyuan to waste time on this meaningless explanation.

"My lord, the student has an immature idea. Diverting the water from the Qingshui River to the east and into the farmland can slow down the embankment."

Jiang Jingyuan drew a line on the paper and said.

"But there are farmers around the farmland, so it would be too risky to do so."

Wang Linjie thought about it carefully, and felt that there was still something wrong. The water was too strong. If the farmland was washed away and directly rushed into the farmers' homes, it would be more terrible than a dike breaking.

"This is what I think. Dig another ditch on the road leading to the farmland, and set up a sluice gate at the source of the ditch. If something really gets out of hand, close the sluice gate."

Jiang Jingyuan began to draw on the picture as he spoke, so that Wang Linjie could know Jiang Jingyuan's thoughts more intuitively.

"Of course, one road will definitely not relieve the water level of the Qingshui River. We can set up many such sluices in different areas, and when the time comes, the sluices will be opened at the same time to control the flood."

Wang Linjie rubbed his chin and pondered for a while, and finally said, "Okay, I will do as you said, and we can finish it in two days."

After Wang Linjie made up his mind, he didn't procrastinate. He immediately stopped the busy folks and planned a canal for them to dig.

They also sent people to discuss with the people in various villages, and even asked the guards to go back and send a message to County Magistrate Zhang, asking him to supervise the whole process, so that there must be no delay.

The orders were conveyed one after another, and everyone dropped the work they were doing, and started to do the new work in an orderly manner.

"It's really enough to have you. It really made you think of a way." Wei Liangjun was already in admiration for Jiang Jingyuan at the moment.

No one had a clue, but Jiang Jingyuan figured it out, which proves that he has the ability.

Jiang Jingyuan just smiled and didn't claim credit, "You have half of the credit for this. If you didn't run around, I wouldn't have thought of it."

"Nonsense, you probably already thought of this method when you asked us to inquire, but you are just doing the final confirmation." Wei Liangjun did not dare to take the credit of Jiang Jingyuan.

He really didn't take Jiang Jingyuan seriously before, after all, his family background and talents were not on the same level, and they couldn't get along together.

But now it's different, Jiang Jingyuan showed his talents and made him convinced.

"Don't talk about me, tell me what's going on with you two." Jiang Jingyuan asked with a smile as he glanced at Fang Xinli, who was deliberately keeping a distance from Wei Liangjun.

Wei Liangjun blushed, he still couldn't forget the glimpse that day, and he didn't know how to face Fang Xinli.

Moreover, he wanted to apologize to Fang Xinli sincerely, but he was unwilling to talk to him, so the two had no choice but to continue in this stalemate.

"What are you talking about? Are you talking bad about me again? I know Wei Liangjun that you have no good intentions." Fang Xinli was a little far away, and couldn't hear what Wei Liangjun and Jiang Jingyuan were saying clearly.

But they subconsciously shifted their eyes to him, and any fool would know they were talking about themselves.

"No, I was just saying that Jing Yuan's trick of 'leading disasters to the east' is really good. It not only saves time, but also eliminates hidden dangers."

Seeing Fang Xinli at this moment, Wei Liangjun was as scared as a mouse seeing a cat, and he didn't even dare to make eye contact.

"It's better to be like this." Fang Xinli saw that Jiang Jingyuan looked at him with the same eyes, and reluctantly believed Wei Liangjun's words.

"Whether it's possible or not, let's wait and see." Jiang Jingyuan was not overwhelmed with joy, but looked very calm.

"I think it will work out of all odds." Wei Liangjun was extremely confident. Using water fields to relieve water pressure is better than doing nothing.

Two days later, a total of fifty sluices were repaired. At this moment, because no one is managing the embankment of the Qingshui River, the water in the embankment has already begun to overflow.

Seeing that the dam was about to lose its hold, Wang Linjie ordered, "Open the gate!"

Bang, bang, bang, all fifty sluices were opened, and the river water crowded beside the sluices began to run towards the canal leading to the paddy field at a very fast speed.

The nearest few mu of paddy fields were quickly filled, and each mu of paddy fields had a hole for drainage. When the river was full, it would rush to the next field along this hole.

The turbulent river water is divided indefinitely in this way, and the flow speed becomes slower as it goes to the back, gradually controlling the water power.

"It's done."

Everyone shouted with joy when they saw this scene. They finally kept their hometown, and they didn't have to endure the pain of being separated from their wives and children, and they didn't have to live a life of ups and downs.

Jiang Jingyuan didn't show a relaxed smile until this time, the joy from his heart was like a spring breeze melting like ice and snow.

"Go and borrow a fishing net." Jiang Jingyuan laughed and shouted to a villager in Jiangyu Village.

The villager couldn't figure out what Jiang Jingyuan wanted the fishing net for, but he followed his instructions and went to a nearby farm to borrow a fishing net for Jiang Jingyuan.

Jiang Jingyuan cast the fishing net by the sluice, and waited almost half an hour for everyone to pull the net together.

A net full of fresh fish is about to break the net.

"Hey, a lot of fish."

Everyone couldn't help yelling, and this yelling attracted more people, and everyone cheered again when they saw so many fish.

Today not only solved a big problem, but also harvested so many fish.It was a double blessing.

Wang Linjie was also in the crowd, watching Jiang Jingyuan pull up a net full of fresh fish, stepped forward and scolded with a smile, "I think you are here because you can catch fish in this way, and you still play tricks on me Woolen cloth."

Jiang Jingyuan said with a smile, "My lord, how can a student have such abilities, this is just taking advantage of the trend."

"Why are you still called an adult student? From now on, I will call you senior brother. After the matter is over, I will take you to apprentice."

Seeing Jiang Jingyuan, Wang Linjie made him a little bit reluctant. With such a smart junior, he will be a very light person in the court in the future.

Such a person must be wooed first.

"My lord governor, it is unreasonable for students not to be apprentices yet, and it will not be too late to change their words when Grand Master Gu is really willing to accept students as disciples in the future."

Jiang Jingyuan smiled and refused Wang Linjie's change of mouth while carrying two delicious Qingjiang fish.

Looking at the back of Jiang Jingyuan leaving gracefully, Wang Linjie laughed and cursed, "This brat doesn't know what to do."

Wei Liangjun and Fang Xinli watched Jiang Jingyuan refuse to be Wang Linjie's junior, they were dumbfounded.

I thought it would be good to get the governor's favor, but I didn't expect Jiang Jingyuan to fall into the eyes of Grand Master Gu.

Fang Xinli had a relatively thick skin, and leaned in front of Wang Linjie and flattered him, "Governor, this Jiang Jingyuan doesn't like Grand Master Gu, you might as well consider me, you can accept me as a student."

Fang Xinli thought that he could not be Gu Renhuai's disciple, but he could be Wang Linjie's.

Wang Linjie squinted at him, and laughed loudly, "That's fine, I'll take you in as a disciple, and when you see Jiang Jingyuan in the future, you don't have to call him uncle."

Fang Xinli's face was discouraged, a little tired, "It's okay to call Master Uncle."

"Hahahaha, you can stretch and bend, don't worry, although my mentor may not accept any more disciples, but it's okay to accept you as a name, wait for me to go back and ask."

Wang Linjie was also quite satisfied with the performance of Fang Wei and Fang Wei in the corvee this time. Although the two were enemies, they were able to abandon their previous suspicions and work together for the sake of righteousness, which is also a rare expression of sincerity.

"Get out of the way, who do you think you are? It's worth my pleading for you. I'm doing it for myself. You should stop putting gold on your face." Fang Xinli rolled his eyes at Wei Liangjun, and followed him without looking up. walked by.

"That, that, Xinli, I apologize to you again. When I was young, I didn't understand time, so I did something sorry for you. You can beat me and scold me if you want, as long as you relieve your anger, you can do whatever you want."

Wei Liangjun held back his apology for a long time, but as long as Fang Xinli relieved his anger, it doesn't matter if he gets a meal.

Fang Xinli, who had just walked two steps, heard Wei Liangjun's words, and the smile on his face suddenly festered. He turned his head and kicked Wei Liangjun's lower body and body.

Wei Liangjun didn't react, his body instinctively
