Cao Xizhi's eyes were deep and he said slowly: "I have heard a little bit about what you, Li Qian, did in Yongning County. This time, when it comes to irrigating farmland, what is your purpose of leading people to make noise?"
brush!
Li Qian's expression changed drastically.
Cao Xizhi's words were full of questions, were they meant to be held accountable?
Li Qian calmed his mind and said in a deep voice: "Prefect Cao, I brought people here not to cause trouble, but for our people living in Yongning County. Everyone knows that Yongning County has been in drought for several months since the beginning of spring."
"This month has been extremely dry, with almost no rain. At such an important time, people all over the country are facing drought. However, as for the county government, the county magistrate Lin Feng deceived the county magistrate, causing the magistrate Wang to spread all over Yongning County. , digging ditches and dredging ditches on a large scale."
"What's the use?"
"Totally useless."
"On the contrary, it is a waste of manpower and material resources, a waste of people's energy, and the best opportunity is missed."
Li Qian originally addressed Cao Xizhi as Lord of the Palace, but now he calls Cao Xizhi directly as Grand Administrator.
He is not afraid of Cao Xizhi.
Cao Xizhi was not good, and he was not good either.
Cao Xizhi snorted and said: "It's not yet announced, why are you making noise? If you were solving the problem with good intentions, you could directly ask Magistrate Wang to discuss it carefully, why would you do this? Don't you have ulterior motives?"
Li Qian's complexion changed further.
Cao Xi's arrival is not good.
Li Qian said in a deep voice: "Prefect Cao, you have misunderstood me about bringing people to make noise. There is Lin Feng in the county government, and this person is extremely evil. He obstructed me, and the county magistrate did not listen to my advice at all. That’s why I took the next step.”
Lin Feng mocked: "Master Li really knows how to complain first to evildoers. Is there anyone in the county government who can stop you?"
"No one stopped me!"
"The county honors the virtuous corporal, and is always kind. What you said is your own imagination. You have never failed to take the initiative to visit me, why should I interfere with it?"
"If you say that you came to see the county magistrate one time, and you were made things difficult and you never saw anyone, then that's it. From the beginning to the end, you stayed in the Li family and didn't go out, but you slandered others. How can anyone believe you?"
After a pause, Lin Feng turned to Cao Xizhi and said: "Master Fu, the county magistrate came out just now and shouted to silence everyone. Li Qian not only refused to silence, but arranged for people to stir up trouble and make things bigger. This way People have ulterior motives. The county magistrate has everything arranged, but he just doesn’t listen."
Cao Xizhi glanced at Lin Feng approvingly.
This young man is good.
Cao Xizhi looked at Wang Yue and said, "Mr. Wang, how do you explain the construction of ditches to divert water? This matter is now being discussed in the entire Fufeng County and even in Yongzhou."
Although Wang Yue didn't know the purpose of Cao Xizhi's visit, judging from the situation, it was related to him handing over Fu Gang's body.
That's why Cao Xizhi was willing to help.
Wang Yue was neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Your Majesty, I will divert water to irrigate the canal today. I don't want to say anything more because I am humble. My ears are deceptive and my eyes are believing. I ask your Majesty and everyone to follow me to Oxford Crossing and divert water at Oxford Crossing." .Everything can be understood at a glance.”
Li Qian mocked: "You are trying to be mysterious, Magistrate Wang, you are so stubborn because you were bewitched by Lin Feng. You need countless manpower and material resources to divert water for irrigation in Oxford."
"Shut up!"
Cao Xizhi scolded him directly.
He stared at Li Qian and scolded: "Think of others, you are a member of the Li family. But I govern and enforce the law impartially, and I am not afraid of your Li family. Wang Yue has already said it, you will know it when you go to Oxford Crossing, but you still speak Ridicule, if you dare to be so wanton again, don't blame me for dealing with you."
Li Qian's cheeks twitched.
He glanced at Cao Xizhi bitterly.
Cao Xizhi also deserves to die. When Wang Yue's reputation is ruined, he will use the power of the Li family to make Cao Xizhi regret it.
Wang Yue waved his hand and said: "Master Fu, please!"
"Let's go."
Cao Xizhi also nodded.
Everyone left the county government office and each took their own carriage to cross to Oxford. The location of Oxford Crossing is six miles outside the west city of Yongning County, and the terrain is fairly flat.
Along the way, there are clear ditches.
These ditches lead directly to Oxford Ferry.
When everyone arrived at the Oxford Crossing, especially Cao Xizhi, Li Qian and others, they got off the carriages and saw the towering carriages in the Yongning River at the Oxford Crossing in front, with shocked expressions on their faces.
Each barrel cart is three feet high. And each barrel cart stands in the river on the bank of Oxford Ferry, stretching for hundreds of feet along the surrounding river, so that the entire bank of Oxford Ferry forms a spectacular scene.
What's this?
Li Qian suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
The king is more prepared.
Li Qian glanced at Wang Yue and Lin Feng, then swallowed hard to calm down.
Cao Xizhi was quite curious and even more expectant.
Fufeng County is also experiencing constant drought. Under such circumstances, if the drought in Yongning County can be alleviated through water diversion and irrigation, and Fufeng County can promote it, it can be alleviated.
Cao Xizhi was looking forward to it.
Everyone walked forward and stopped when they reached the embankment on the bank of Yongning River.
Cao Xizhi looked at Wang Yue and asked, "Mr. Wang, how can this huge machine in the river divert water?"
Wang Yue had a smile on his face and explained: "Master Fu, the huge thing standing in the Yongning River is called a barrel cart, which is specially used to collect water. This instrument can continuously rotate and irrigate with the help of water flow. It was made by Lin County Cheng. "
Cao Xizhi nodded.
He was grateful to Lin Feng for killing Fu Gang, and he knew about Yongning County and Lin Feng, so he knew Lin Feng. The changes in Yongning County all come from Lin Feng.
Wang Yue looked at Lin Feng and said, "Brother, let's get started."
Lin Feng looked at Cao Zheng at the ferry and ordered: "Captain Cao, let go of the rope and start fetching water and sending it into the ditch."
All trolleys are fixed with ropes. Even if the water flow hits, it will not operate for the time being.
Cao Zheng ordered the rope to be cut off. As the craftsman took action, the rope broke and the rushing water hit the barrel cart, making a squeaking sound. A drum-mounted truck began to move slowly.
The wooden tubes passed through the water one by one. After taking the water, they reached the top in a blink of an eye. The wooden tubes tilted, and the clear water poured out of the wooden tubes and into the sink.
The three-foot-high barrel truck ensures that the water tank is built at a high place, and the water flows along the water tank, along the diversion tank that has been built, and into the nearby ditch.
The most important thing is that this is not a barrel cart, but a row of barrel carts, stretching for hundreds of feet.
Within such a range, the water poured out of the wooden tube gathers together to form a flowing stream. The water rushes into the ditch and flows forward continuously.
Fetching water from the river does not require any manpower, and water is continuously diverted for irrigation.
"My skills are amazing, my skills are amazing."
After Cao Xizhi saw it, a look of joy appeared on his face and he praised it very much.
Li Qian was confused.
how come?
How can we divert water for irrigation without labor? He had no idea that there would be such water diversion for irrigation. The people from the major families around were all shocked and started talking in low voices.
At this moment, some people even distanced themselves from Li Qian unconsciously.
Everyone knew something was wrong.
When Lin Feng saw this scene, a smile appeared on his lips. He took the initiative to stand up and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, Li Qian is not only causing trouble this time, but he is also involved in wanton killings and even collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. There are fifty-six pieces of evidence against him. Please tell me, Mr. Fu." Call the shots.”
Lin Feng's original plan was for Wang Yue to deal with Li Qian. Now that Cao Xi is here, it is better.
So Lin Feng changed his plan.
Ask Cao Xizhi to review.
