Li Yi was about to speak, but Ran Yanchao next to him interjected: "Yes! The cost of building a canal and a waterwheel is not a small amount, and even Qiujiazhuang does not know how to build it, let alone how much it costs. Our Fengming Village, a hundred and ten people, does not have this ability. ”

"What's more, because we are located in the west of the river, the terrain is much higher than here, even if a dam is built, it can only solve the problem of watering part of the fields, and people and animals still rely on shoulders to carry drinking water. On our side, due to the topography, even if there is a waterwheel, I am afraid that it will not be able to lift the water, and it must be of limited use. ”

After listening to Qiuhe and Ran Yanchao's words, Du Qingchuan also sighed and said: "Actually, I also know the difficulties of the two, but my village is big and the population is large, and the crop harvest is more important to us, how can I say that this is also a problem for nearly a thousand people to eat!" If you want to talk about canals, waterwheels or something, I have them there, and this is also the method I came up with when the water level of the Niulan River continued to decline and I was forced to do so. ”

"But the waterwheel is too small, and the canal is only a small section, and even if there is a waterwheel, the little water that comes up is not enough, and it can take care of the east family, but not the west family, and if you want to water all the fields again, it will take a lot of trouble. That's why I'm so desperate to demolish the upstream dam! ”

After Du Qingchuan finished speaking, Li Yi couldn't help but nodded lightly, and said with deep feelings: "Yes!" Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and if you want to solve this problem completely, I have a good idea, I don't know if you believe me or not. ”

Seeing that everyone nodded in acquiescence, Li Yi continued: "I think that at present, all families can barely use water, not to the point of exhaustion. I mean, let's leave it as it is for now, and you all bother to get your crops in order. I immediately arranged for people to come and build canals and waterwheels for the villages, which of course had to be delayed for a few days. ”

"Of course, the construction cost will be borne by the government, so you don't have to worry about it. As for the problem of Fengming Village, I also have to investigate in detail, since the upper reaches of the Niulan River have sufficient water, there must be a suitable water source on the slope here, and the water will definitely be able to be diverted to Fengming Village. I don't know what to do with this idea, so you can think about it. ”

Everyone was silent when they heard this, and they all bowed their heads to think about the pros and cons of this method. Li Yi knew that the most difficult person to convince now was Du Qingchuan. Because if the status quo is maintained, it will still be difficult for him to draw water from there, so he can only rely on manpower to water the crops over long distances, not to mention the laborious and laborious work, and the effect may not be good.

So Li Yi struck while the iron was hot, and continued: "I believe that your difficulties are temporary, the palms and backs of your hands are full of meat, and the government treats you equally, and will never favor any side." As long as the government can help, the government will spare no effort to help you, and please don't hesitate any longer. ”

After listening to Li Yi's words, Qiuhe and Ran Yanchao agreed, and Du Qingchuan reluctantly agreed in desperation.

Li Yi smiled and said: "You are all people who take the overall situation into account, so that our plan can be carried out smoothly." I will have people rush back to Ningzhou today to make arrangements, and strive to prepare materials and manpower tomorrow, and start construction immediately. I think if it goes well, it will be completed in less than 10 days. ”

"In order to solve this problem once and for all, I have been living here these days, and I have personally worked with you, and we have a lot of strength, and God will favor us to complete it as soon as possible. Also, this conflict has caused a lot of injuries, so don't delay your treatment, or go back as soon as possible to get medical treatment. ”

Li Yi said this, of course, everyone wanted to know their feelings, and they couldn't help but applaud in approval, and in this way, a big stone fell in Li Yi's heart.

Next, Li Yi immediately ordered Lin Chi to hurry back to Ningzhou, report the situation here to Lin Yi, tell him that he would squat here for a while, and let him immediately organize skilled craftsmen to raise wood, cement and other materials, and strive to come over tomorrow and start building immediately.

After Li Yi ordered all this, everyone also said goodbye to him, but Ran Yanchao knew that Li Yi was going to live here in the next few days, and warmly invited him to live in Fengming Village.

Originally, Li Yi also wanted to live in Pingyang Pass or Xihua Temple nearby, but Ran Yanchao warmly invited, plus he had always had a good impression of this person, and he also wanted to make friends with him, and more importantly, Fengming Village was the most difficult to divert water from several nearby Zhuangzi, and he also wanted to go there to investigate it to see if there was a better solution, as long as they brought a convenient and suitable water source for their village, most of the problem of water source contention would be solved. Therefore, after giving in modestly, Li Yi immediately agreed to his invitation.

Next, Ran Yanchao and more than a dozen young people from their village enthusiastically led Li Yi and others around a bamboo bridge more than ten meters long and walked towards the village on the hillside.

Ran Yanchao said as he walked: "Dashuai, from the first time I saw you, I knew that you must be a good official who loves the people like a son. Let's not talk about anything else, I am also a person who has been in the rivers and lakes for twenty or thirty years, and I look at people at a glance. You are the biggest official in our Yunnan, but you have come to our small place with dignity, and you always pay attention to such a small thing as watering the crops. ”

"Alas! Ran has always hated the government a few years ago, and he has no good impression of being an official. Hey! Now I have to say that Ran must be blind, and there are still good officials like you in this world. ”

Li Yi smiled faintly and said: "Brother Ran doesn't have to blame himself, of course there are good and bad officials in this world, as long as you can do more practical things for the people, you can be an official with a solid heart." Oh! Let's not talk about this, we live here with more than a dozen people, I'm afraid we will cause trouble for you Fengming Village again. ”

Ran Yanchao smiled and said, "What are you talking about?" To be able to invite a VIP like Dashuai to our village as a guest, I don't know if it is a blessing that Ran has cultivated in several lifetimes, and I feel the same honor from top to bottom of the village. ”

"Huh! Although the population of our small village is not more than 100 people, there are a few decent guest rooms, as long as you are not too simple, you will be able to live. Hehe! ”

Li Yilian said that he was not polite, and he had already come to the village while talking.

Although the population of this Fengming village is very small, there are also forty or fifty houses, which are obviously neatly planned, and leave room for development, it seems that the Ran couple has long been planning to expand the scale of the village, and has reserved enough space for future development.
