Du Zhenglun's gaze slowly retracted from the front.

However, when he saw the people here, they were also full of cheerful smiles, without the slightest bit of depression. He couldn't help thinking, could it be possible that the countryside in Hangzhou was still turned into a paradise by Li Yi'an?

"No, they don't seem to know Li Zhanshi!"

Du Zhenglun finally noticed something different.

In the place I just walked, all the people, regardless of gender, basically knew Li Yi'an and greeted him warmly, but the people here did not do this.

"I don't come here many times, and I'm not responsible for the follow-up. They don't know me, isn't it normal?"

Li Yi'an said displeasedly: "Why, the villagers know me, and you said it was a lie to fool you, and now you finally don't know me and feel that there is something wrong, what else is Du Gong thinking?"

It's better if you don't know each other, this is what Du Zhenglun wants.

His eyes narrowed, he exchanged a glance with Yu Shinan, and after getting his consent, he walked over directly.

When the other villagers saw these well-dressed people coming, they took a curious look, but seeing Changsun Chong following them, they felt nothing.

These villagers did not recognize Li Yi'an, but they all knew who Chang Sun Chong was. After all, they were the ones who applied for the money from the governor's mansion.

"Dugong, don't scare the people later."

Yu Shinan reminded.

"Don't worry, Duke Yu, I will definitely not."

Du Zhenglun smiled confidently, walked up to a villager and asked, "Master, I see that your fields used to be planted with mulberry trees. How did you dig up all the mulberry trees?"

The man looked up and thought that Zhang Sun Chong must have some arrangement, so he said, "All the mulberry trees were flooded, and many spring silkworms were also drowned. We have to dig them up."

Du Zhenglun seemed to have found a breakthrough, and quickly said, "I've heard that the governor's mansion in Hangzhou is very good at water control. From this point of view, that's all."

"That's good, but at the beginning, the Governor's Mansion only had the aristocratic family in its heart, so how could it care about the life and death of us ordinary people?"

The man couldn't help complaining.

However, what he complained about was the actions Liu Tongfang took while he was in power. It was Li Yi'an who really changed later, but it was too late, because when Li Yi'an took action, their mulberry fields were almost flooded, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't save them.

"You don't plan to grow mulberry and raise silkworms anymore, but instead raise fish. Did you dig these fish ponds yourself?"

Du Zhenglun asked again.

"It's not considered fish farming. It was Li Zhan who asked us to dig."

Mentioning the matter of Li Zhan, the man was excited and was about to continue, but he heard Du Zhenglun yelling: "Ridiculous!"

"The fertile land here should be used to plant mulberry and raise silkworms, and dig up all of it to raise fish. The man surnamed Li doesn't know how to do it."

Du Zhenglun gave Li Yi'an a hard look, and continued: "How much manpower and financial resources will it take to dig up all the fields like this? By then, the mulberry trees will not be able to be planted, and the fish will not be well raised. You will starve in the second half of the year. The price of silk will also rise accordingly, how can this be possible!"

"Furthermore, raising fish is a nonsense. In the Jiangnan area, fish is the least valuable. There are aquatic products everywhere in the big rivers. Why bother to raise them?"

He grieved and said: "Li Yi'an doesn't understand anything, this is killing ordinary people, he is a sinner through the ages."

Hearing him yelling at Li Yi'an, several nearby villagers all stopped, picked up their hoes and other things, and walked towards him with unfriendly eyes.

"You... what do you want to do?"

Du Zhenglun said in a panic.

"You know shit!"

The man said angrily just now: "Li Zhanshi is our benefactor. If it weren't for him, we would be starving now. It rained heavily in the south of the Yangtze River, and all the silkworms were flooded. Even if we didn't dig this, we wouldn't be able to produce this year." Produce silk, can’t afford food, we can still work now, we still have food and money, all thanks to Li Zhanshi’s support.”

"Where do you come from? Don't understand anything, so don't talk nonsense here."

An old man snorted coldly and said, "Li Zhan once said that this model is called mulberry fish pond. The combination of planting mulberry, silkworm and fish can maximize the interests of our silkworm farmers. Yidi believes in Li Zhan's work. What's more, all the money for digging fish ponds is also due to Li Zhan's work. The food we eat now is given by Li Zhan's work. You didn't do anything, so what right do you have to blame Li Zhan? James thing?"

Du Zhenglun was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Yi'an in disbelief. Can he be sure that the villagers don't know Li Yi'an, but they also talk like this for him?

What's more, can Li Yi'an be so selfless, give money and food to ordinary people, and survive the difficulties after the flood?

After Yu Shinan finished listening, he also looked at Li Yi'an in surprise.

"Old man, is it really feasible to raise fish and grow mulberry here?"

Yu Shinan asked.

"If Li Zhan says it works, it will work."

The old man said loudly: "You high-ranking officials only know that the Jiangnan area is full of big rivers and rich in aquatic products, but who knows how dangerous fishing is? I have three sons, two of whom died in the Above the river, alas!"

Speaking of sad things, he even cried out.

Yu Shinan and the others were astonished.

People in their aristocratic family have never had a concept of money. They never knew how expensive a fish is. It is only now that they understand that the fish eaten on the table are all exchanged by the lives of the people at the bottom.

According to this, the fish pond seems somewhat reasonable.

"Planting mulberry, raising silkworms, and raising fish combined!"

Yu Shinan muttered to himself, as if he was still considering its feasibility.

"Seeing that you are brought by Mr. Changsun, I will let you go today. If there is another time, don't blame us for being rude."

"We don't welcome you people, get out!"

"Go away!"

Many villagers, no matter how honorable they are, directly shouted and chased them away, dared to question the most respected thing about Li Zhan in their hearts, and did not check whether they had the qualifications.

Seeing the raging crowd, Du Zhenglun knew he had said the wrong thing. Looking at the people approaching, he was at a loss, and could only look at Li Yi'an with a look of pleading for help.

Neither he nor Yu Shinan expected the result to be so surprising.

Li Yi'an nodded, and then Chang Sun Chong stepped forward. In the eyes of the villagers, he still has some prestige, and he can live in the town.

"Everyone, they came from Chang'an to inspect the flood situation in Hangzhou. They don't know much about your affairs, so don't get angry if they say something wrong."

Listening to Chang Sun Chong's words, the angry villagers finally calmed down slowly.

In the end, he gave Du Zhenglun an unfriendly look, as if warning him that if he dared to talk nonsense again, it would be useless for anyone to come next time.
