Bang, the cigarette rod in Chang Gui's hand fell to the ground, and he was stunned. This idea came to him in a flash.
Picking up the cigarette rod, Chang Gui rubbed it and said, "How far is it? If we dig a canal, it will take a lot of labor. The people may not be happy, and this ravine cannot hold water. ?”
"Is this person determined to conquer the sky? Isn't there a place in the northwest to build a water cellar? They can store water, why can't we store water?"
Chang Gui patted his thigh and said, "It's true. People use cement to seal the cellar. We can do it too, but the workload has increased."
"The pattern! Secretary Chang, your pattern is going to be enlarged. If this canal is built, we, Shichuan Village, will not only be able to use water. Baidian Village and Tutai Village over there will also benefit. Let's call them together. Do it, it’s not an exaggeration.”
Chang Gui nodded and said, "That's the truth. You can't let one family work and let three families enjoy the blessings!"
Jiang Hua asked back: "So, if three villages start construction together, there will be more people and more power. Is the amount of the project still large?"
Chang Gui was obviously moved. He took a puff of cigarette and said, "Hey, haha, we will hold an organizational meeting on this matter. I personally agree."
Jiang Hua nodded happily and said, "That's it. If you don't understand anything or want my help, just ask."
"Um, haha, is this a good thing? It will be implemented as soon as possible."
Chang Gui really kept his word and held an organizational meeting in the village that night. When he mentioned the matter, he was immediately greeted with silence. The matter was a good thing, but good things are hard to do.
Huang Wenbin said: "It sounds like a good thing. With so many laborers working, the villagers will blame us, and it will be difficult to be a township party in the future!"
"That's right, that one named Jiang Hua is really good at making tricks. He comes up with new tricks every day. The apples haven't been planted yet, and he wants to divert water. Is that possible?"
Chang Gui smoked the pot and said, "I'm thinking, this can be done. Wazi said, we can't do it in one village. When the time comes, Baidian Village and Tutai Village will have water. Can we call them together?"
Huang Wenbin made an estimate in his mind and said happily: "Then this is seven to eight hundred strong laborers. A canal more than one mile is really not a big deal. Building a dam and cementing it is really not possible. One year cannot make two years." , it can definitely be done. With water, our village can open an additional 200 acres of land for farming, I think it will be done."
"Two hundred acres of land? Huang Abacus, don't talk nonsense!"
Huang Wenbin said unhurriedly: "The water in Wuding River will not disappear. If the water can be diverted, and the people in our village work harder, 200 acres of land will not be a problem."
The militia captain slapped the table and said excitedly: "It's done. Two hundred acres of land. How much food is that? If you just put in more effort, can you still have to work hard to have a full stomach?"
Chang Gui concluded in conclusion: "Don't tell anyone about this in advance. Take Jiang Hua and discuss it with the branch secretaries of Baidian Village and Tutai Village first, and then wait until they agree."
Huang Wenbin nodded and said: "Haha, but Mr. Chang needs to put in more effort to get things done."
Chang Gui said angrily: "Huang Abacus, don't you worry about my work? I know the importance."
Taking advantage of the fact that the autumn crops had just been planted and there was not much farm work in the village, Chang Gui took Jiang Hua to Baidian Village. Baidian Village was one of the largest villages nearby, with a labor force of no less than 300 people. He talked them through, and Tutai The village will be settled.
"Chang Laoji, you are a rare visitor. Now your Ishikawa Village has shown its face. The whole county is holding a meeting to commend you. Why do you have time to come to our small place in Baidian Village today?"
Chang Gui stuffed the pipe pot into his waistband and said to the Baidian Village Party Secretary: "Bai Laowu, I'm not playing tricks on you today. I have business with you."
"Hey, if you, Ishikawa Village, have any good deeds that make you stand out, do you need help from Baidian Village?"
Chang Gui laughed and said, "I have been to a private school for a few years. I can't fool you with my talk. I'll let the educated young people in the village tell you."
Bai Zhishu squatted on the threshold of his home, looked at Jiang Hua and asked, "How can you, Chang Lao, a hairless boy like you, tell me that you will not show your face about this matter?"
Chang Gui clasped his hands behind his back and stood in front of Bai Zhishu and said: "Bai Laowu, don't look through the cracks in the door. He is an activist who has been commended by the county. Well, he has something good in mind for you, so he brought him to see you." .”
Bai Zhishu took a puff of cigarette and said, "Okay, let me just listen to what this activist has to say."
Chang Gui nodded, so Jiang Hua told Bai Zhishu everything about how to build dams, how to dig canals, and how to store water.
When Jiang Hua finished speaking, he picked up the kettle and took a few sips. Bai Zhishu was still smoking and said nothing.
After being silent for a while, Secretary Bai said: "I thought it was a good thing, but it turns out that you, Ishikawa Village, can't do it, so I came to ask for help."
Chang Gui said angrily: "Bai Laowu, don't touch your nose or face. Don't think about what is said outside about your Baidian Village. Baidian Village, the village boss, has a large population and cannot afford to eat yellow steamed buns in the next year. Because What, because the village is full of lazy people."
Secretary Bai stood up, lit the pot on the door frame, and said angrily: "Old Chang, don't provoke me. I'm just working as a coolie. Baidian Village has agreed, and the whole village has worked hard." Go out and we'll do half of the work when the time comes."
Chang Gui's clumsy provocation method worked, and he put away his cigarette pot with a smile and said: "Let's not talk about it for now, we are not just for a living. Even if you agree, you still have to go to Zhou Yuhai in Tutai Village to discuss it. Let the three villages explain clearly in person what to do when the time comes."
"You are such a picky Chang Lao, and you dragged Tutai Village into the water. Go ahead, more people can help, and then the three villages will work together. Is this really nothing?"
Chang Gui turned around and said, "I'm leaving then. There's no need to send it off."
Bai Zhishu said arrogantly: "Just leave, I don't plan to keep you for dinner."
When Chang Gui had gone far away, Bai Zhishu filled a bag of cigarettes again, and while smoking, he said to himself: "This old Chang Gui, he even used the art of war with Fu. The general's skills can be seen through Fu at a glance. I can be fooled by you.”
Bai Zhishu took a sip and calculated in his mind: "If there is enough water, then Ermen Village can open up at least 300 acres more land. Then we can eat white flour steamed buns several times a month. I didn't expect it." Such a good idea, why do the educated youths in our village know how to make ends meet? Chang Lao's sting is about to show his face again."
Chang Gui and Jiang Hua walked back except Baidian Village. Chang Gui muttered: "This Bai Laowu clearly wants to do it in his heart, but he still has to use his words to make things worse. He is really a melon."
