Chapter 643: The Great Conspiracy

Under the blue sky, a small mountain village surrounded by bamboo forests makes it look laid-back and peaceful.

In front of the village is a green rice paddy field, a clear river runs euphemistically, and a solid road leads from the village entrance to the hillside on the other side of the river and beyond.

"That's Tiger Girl's car!"

A peasant woman, who was fishing for weeds in the field, looked up at the hillside with feeling, and when she saw the tall carriage, her face immediately welled up with a sincere excitement.

Drive!

A little girl with a tiger head and a tiger brain was sitting upright in the carriage, the fleshy little hand held the reins of the horse, the moth eyebrows were gently raised, and the beautiful big eyes were also full of excitement, driving the carriage crisply.

Although she comes back often, every time she sees it, she feels an indescribable joy. And the big black horse seemed to recognize this place, and the horse's hooves seemed more cheerful.

"It turns out that this is Changlin Village!"

Leizhou Wei Tongzhi Zhao Yong rode on a tall horse, condescendingly looking at the picturesque new world in front of him.

Looking at the towering archway, then at the green bamboo forest, and the eagle falcon soaring in the blue sky, I finally understood why Lin Haoran was born here.

The number of these teams is not small, including the officials of Leizhou Mansion, the soldiers of Leizhou Guard, and the accompanying Gu Mancang and others. After passing through the Wenkui archway, it is a mighty walk through the bamboo forest and enter the village's barn field.

The number of buildings around the barn has increased, but instead of building new workshops, some village-level public facilities have been built. For example, a brand new library has been erected, with a large number of books available for free borrowing.

"Tiger Girl is back!"

"Tiger Girl is back!"

Ergou and the other children happily ran to the edge of the barn, looking at the energetic tiger girl with great excitement, as if they had seen a big star.

The tiger girl was stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes but was not stage frightened, and snorted a little proudly. She turned around and said hello to Lin Haoran, who came out, and jumped out of the carriage, walking towards the group of children on her short legs.

"Tiger girl, shall we go catch fish?"

"Tiger girl, I found a nest of turtledoves!"

"Tiger girl, my family's free son is yellow!"

……

A large group of children greeted them, chattering all kinds of things around the tiger girl, and their faces looked extremely excited.

It didn't take long, but I didn't know what the tiger girl was doing. saw her little hand wave, and then walked in front in a hurry, walking towards the entrance of the village with dozens of children.

Ay!

Lin Haoran looked at the little figure of the tiger girl leaving, but shook her head helplessly, knowing that the tiger girl had turned on the wild girl mode again.

is different from the casual girl who follows the tiger girl, he has to pay attention to etiquette when he gets out of the car, and immediately greets the old people and other old people, showing the image of a polite junior.

Beckoned Da Biao and the others to settle those who accompanied them, and at the same time greeted some distinguished guests.

But I don't know whose idea it was, and a council hall was built in the village.

The council hall was in the front hall of the ancestral hall, and Lin Haoran still respected the old patriarch very much, so he did not sit down in the first place, but pushed it to his uncle, and he sat in the second place.

Everyone sat on both sides, except for Lin Haoran, a junior, the rest were elders, like Da Biao and others could only stand.

After sitting down, the old patriarch did not play falsely, and immediately entered the topic.

Since the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Haoran burned down Jiang's house, Jiangcun has started a depression mode.

In essence, Jiangcun has already fallen into a depression.

First of all, Jiangcun people are mainly engaged in business, and many Jiangcun people have houses outside. Generally, it is the Spring Festival and Qingming Festival to come back for a few days, and most of the period is a temporary residence for family members, or even in an empty house.

Secondly, after the complete defeat of the feng shui battle, the people of Jiangcun moved their ancestral graves last year, and they moved to the Lianzhou Prefecture area, which is equivalent to pulling the roots out of here, like Jiangcun This year's Chunming Festival is simply a ghost village.

In the end, Jiang Mansion is the leader of Jiang Village, but Jiang Mansion was burned down but never rebuilt, which indicates that Jiang Mansion also has the intention of staying away from here.

Of course, the most important factor is Lin Haoran. Although Jiang Yuebai won the Jinshi, compared to the upstart King Lin Yan, who had received the grace of the Holy Lord, it was too far behind.

As a result, many Jiangcun people decided to stay away from here. And as someone sold the house to the scholars studying at Castle Peak Academy, more and more Jiangcun people joined the ranks of the sale, and some people also came to Changlin Village.

"If you want me to say that we should buy them, those houses are well built, and it is more cost-effective than building them at our own expense!"

"Can you have a little backbone! No matter how beautiful those houses are, they are all houses that Jiangcun people have lived in, bad luck! ”

……

This represents two different points of view, some people are in favor of buying a house in Gangchon, and some people are against it. And whenever this kind of thing happens, Lin Haoran often has to make a decision.

Whether it is Lin Haoran's identity or what he did, he completely conquered all the old people in the village. Although these old men are elders, when facing Lin Haoran, they all silently regard Lin Haoran as an "elder".

As long as it is Lin Haoran's decision, no matter what opinions they have before, they will eventually support Lin Haoran.

In the face of this almost unconditional trust, Lin Haoran couldn't help but smile bitterly, the most difficult thing for Qing officials to decide on family affairs is probably like this, that is, to play tricky and say: "Whether to buy a house in Jiangcun or not, we don't buy it, but we don't interfere with the villagers buying it in their personal name!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded their heads, and it was considered that both sides won half of the game.

However, Lin Haoran changed his words and said: "Our Changlin clan wants to truly revitalize, this wealth accumulation is one thing, but more importantly, we still have to pay attention to children's education, so we have to find a way to buy Qingshan Academy!" ”

"Nineteen, that academy is too big, we don't need to make it so big, right? Why don't we build a small private school on the edge of the village, so that it is convenient for children to go to school? The fourth master proposed.

Lin Haoran looked around and found that many people were so psychological, and they all seemed to want to build a private school in the village, so he said with a straight face: "The private school is a good plan, it is convenient for us to go to school here, and we can receive education!" But with all due respect, this can only cultivate children and talents, but it is difficult to cultivate people and scholars. ”

"That's right! Xiahe Village didn't run a private school, but after so many years, there was a child! If my son was just a child, it would be better to be like me at the beginning and help the workshop work! Da Biao stood aside, and then he also spoke.

The old patriarch also coughed lightly, and said seriously: "In the past, we only needed to be a child and show talent, so we felt that we could speak in the yamen and pay less unjust food, but now, do we still need someone to help us speak to the yamen?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, but it was Ah Niu who came out and said, "Gou Zhi County is here", which immediately caused everyone to laugh.

As for the plan to buy Castle Peak Academy, it is naturally impossible for anyone to oppose it anymore.

Lin Haoran met with Gou Zhixian who came to offer his hospitality at home, and since he learned that Lin Haoran replaced Wang Bai to purchase ambergris for the emperor, Gou Zhixian decided to hold this thick thigh firmly in addition to admiration.

After sending Gou Zhi County away, I went to the workshop to check the situation, and saw a speechless scene behind the workshop.

Cluck......

There was a burst of laughter like silver bells, and a large group of children were seen playing with the mud on the hillside of the new dirt, and they were sliding down the soft dirt.

The tiger girl slid down the slide excitedly, and the whole person seemed to be dancing with her eyebrows, and she resolutely became a mud girl, and her fleshy face was stained with mud.

The little pig and the little rabbit also slid down, and the little pig naturally needless to say, she was a very frank little girl, and she smiled very happily. And the little rabbit, instigated by the tiger girl, also experienced the joy of slippery mud.

What Lin Haoran never expected was that Xiaohu, a rational and wise little girl in her impression, actually slid down the slide and smiled happily.

In this regard, Lin Haoran was deeply speechless.

Hepu, whether it is the Pearl of the South China Sea, the administrative center of Haibei Yan, or the port of departure of the Maritime Silk Road, makes it destined to become a famous city with cultural heritage.

It's just that from the west to the east, and then from the south to the north, the political center of China has also been declining. Now, the Lianzhou Mansion to which it belongs is already located in the southwest border of the Ming Dynasty, and its status is undoubtedly very embarrassing.

Jixian County has become the capital of the country step by step, but Hepu is getting worse and worse, and has even been forgotten by the imperial court.

With the silting of the sea at the entrance of the Nanliu River, this historic city has been covered with dust, losing the artery connecting to the ocean, and making the former port of departure of the Maritime Silk Road an eternal legend.

After Lei Changjiang presided over the Lianzhou Mansion, it was surprising that he suddenly came up with an iron-fisted style, and the first knife turned out to be pointing at the Nanliu River and threatening to dredge this river.

It's just that the problem is far more complicated than he imagined, and even difficult to do.

First of all, the sea at the entrance of the Nanliu River is silted up, and relying on the meager tax revenue of tens of thousands of mu here in Lianzhou Mansion alone, it is simply impossible to afford the dredging project of hundreds of thousands of taels or even millions of taels.

Second, new interests have arisen here, making ordinary people a hindrance.

In the summer of Lianzhou Prefecture, it is also the season of abundant rain, and the silting of the estuary causes the water flow to slow down, which causes the upstream water to accumulate and rush to both sides.

Ordinary people found that the river carried a lot of silt, and the soil of the barren grassland flooded by the river would become extremely fertile. If you plant rice on it, the yield will be twice as high as that of ordinary fertile land.

All of a sudden, the local people actively participated in this kind of land reclamation, and many places downstream that could not be cultivated could be developed into fertile fertile land, which is simply a good thing for the world to drop pies.

Supposedly, even if the government and the wealthy gentry did not try to raise funds to dredge the river, they should strengthen the embankments on both sides of the river. However, the actual situation is the opposite, the government does not assume its due responsibility, and the gentry secretly sabotage the water conservancy facilities on both sides of the strait.

As the water of the Nanliu River flooded to both sides, the water flow of the tributaries of the river became slower and slower, and the slow flow caused more silt to accumulate, causing the river bed to rise, and the problem of siltation became more serious.

In the same way, the early siltation was caused by the river itself, but the aggravation of the siltation problem was a human factor.

Lei Changjiang originally thought it was a good thing, after all, it was the increase in fertile land, and the people also got benefits. It's just that this year's rain in Lianzhou is significantly more than usual, and the river warden told him that flooding is very likely today.

As soon as he thought of this, he was also frightened into a cold sweat, realizing that this was a conspiracy from beginning to end.

He sent someone to investigate and found that the promoters of this conspiracy were the squires led by Luo Bancheng, the first rice merchant in Lianzhou Prefecture. They started stockpiling rice two years ago and are pushing for the destruction of the embankment on the Nanliu River.

After his investigation, not to mention the possibility of heavy rains this year, even in an ordinary year, can flood the fertile fields on both sides of the river.

After Lei Changjiang had insight into Luo Bancheng's conspiracy, he made up his mind, no matter how big the problem was, he would dredge the silt of the Nanliu River so that the people of Lianzhou could avoid this catastrophe.

Break the county order and destroy the prefect!

Luo Bancheng, a rich man who is not benevolent, naturally cannot be flawless, and he is arrogant. After confirming that he was related to a bloody case, Lei Changjiang immediately took the yacha to arrest the person back.

It's just that before the people were brought back to the Yamen, they surrounded a large group of people on the street. Not only the Luo family's family, but also the ruffians and hooligans, and a hundred household leaders of Leizhou Wei participated in it.

Lei Changjiang glared at Chen Baihu, who was the leader, and immediately reprimanded angrily: "Chen Baihu, are you going to rebel?" ”

"Lord Lei is serious, the last general is here to invite Luo Yuanwai to Lianzhou Weiyamen, Commander Lei has important military matters that need Lei Yuanwai's assistance!" Chen Baihu arched his hand and responded with a straight face.

How did Lei Changjiang not know that they were a raccoon dog, and immediately scolded: "Fart!" It's clear that he wants to protect Lei Bancheng! ”

"Lord Lei, you can think whatever you like, the last general is also acting on orders, please don't embarrass the general!" Chen Baihu didn't seem to care, and asked again.

Lei Changjiang said angrily to the group of people who were blocking the front: "Get out of the way!" ”

"Lord Lei is so powerful! If you want to dredge the Nanliu River, it will cut off our way of life, and you have to give us an explanation! A thug hid in the crowd, but shouted loudly.

"That's right! My lord, as soon as the water source of the Nanliu River is cut off, the fertile land that we have developed will become dry fields! An honest-looking old man responded.

Lei Changjiang recognized that this was indeed an ordinary person, and immediately said bitterly: "Don't deceive them!" When this flood comes, your crops will be in danger and you will have no harvest! ”

"Don't listen to this dog official's alarmism! How was it okay for the first two years? It's clearly for his political achievements, that's why he wants to cut off everyone's way of life! The thug shouted again.
