The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 811 0119, Simon Leopard Canal ([-])
They advised the people of Ye County that the river god He Bo should marry and pay tribute, otherwise the severe drought would continue.Since they wanted to marry and pay tribute, the people of Ye County began to raise funds.Then, according to the requirements of the great wizard, a young girl of twenty-eight years old was selected.According to the standards of being out of the pavilion, they were sent to marry the river god on the day of offering sacrifices to the river god.

At that time, Simon Leopard was busy with field surveys, preparing for the construction of the canal.He didn't know about this at all, and he didn't know that those guys who were in charge of marrying and attacking the God of the River actually extorted millions of dollars from the people of Ye County.

In fact, less than one-third of the million yuan was actually used for marriage and tribute, and the remaining 70 million were divided equally among them.

Ye County has been suffering from severe drought year after year, and the common people are suffering from desperation.No one had any objection to paying tribute to the marriage in the first year, but in the second year everyone began to hesitate.In the third year, that is, the year when the construction of the Ximenbao Canal started, many people in Ye County moved their families to other places.

Paying tribute to the God of the River requires money, but they have already emptied their homes, and there has been no harvest in years of drought, so where can they get money.Another thing is to marry the God of the River, the parents who don't care about their own children.It didn't work twice in a row, and they began to wonder if paying tribute to the river god's marriage would work.

But the people in Ye County are simple, they will not say these words, so all they can do is to leave Ye County quietly.At that time, the population of Ye County dropped sharply, so that there was not enough manpower when the canal was built later.

But fortunately, the people of Ye County believed in Ximen Bao. When the first canal was built, the people of Ye County came to their senses.Realizing the benefits that the canals brought to them, they were very motivated when they repaired the canals.

By the fourth year of Ximen Bao's tenure, most of the construction of the twelve canals had begun, but the custom of offering tribute to the god of the river was still going on.Not only that, there are still many people in Ye County who believe that they will be able to do well by doing this. Of course, Ximen Bao has no time to take care of these things.

At that time, Ximen Leopard lived and ate at the construction site of the canal, started working before dawn, and was busy until dark before stopping work.The reason why Ximen Leopard is in such a hurry is to let the people of Ye County enjoy the benefits brought by the construction of the canal in the shortest possible time.

After the completion of the third canal, one tenth of the fields in Ye County no longer need to rely on the sky for food.Ximen Leopard's canals are repaired with a lot of technical content. When needed, the valve can be opened to irrigate, and when not needed, the valve can be closed.

This not only brought good weather to the people of Ye County, but also indirectly promoted the development of tourism in Ye County.The river that passes through Ye County also flows through other counties, but only Ye County has used it.Plant trees on both sides of the repaired canal, and then plant some flowers and plants under the trees.

At first, the people in Ye County felt that Ximen Leopard was wasting their time by doing this. After all, most of the trees here are wild.No one cares what they look like, anyway, they don't rely on these things for food.

But Simon Leopard told them that in the future they can really rely on these flowers and trees for food.At that time, no one believed it, but Ximen Leopard's words were verified later.

Many merchants passed through Ye County and were deeply attracted by the beauty of the canal. Some people proposed to buy some fields beside the canal.The people of Ye County don't dare to make decisions about this kind of thing, because they all know one truth, that is, there is no business without fraud.So they told Ximen Leopard about it, and Ximen Leopard gave them an idea.

When talking about this, the lady boss drank a bowl of herbal tea.Her inn was built at that time, and Ximen Leopard told everyone that they must not kill chickens to get eggs.Do not sell any land in Ye County to others. They can build it themselves, rent it out after completion, or directly open it as a restaurant and inn.

After that, Ye County developed better and better. Not only did the weather go smoothly year after year, but the business of inns and restaurants was also booming day by day.Really echoed the words of Ximen Leopard back then, one day in the future we will also be able to rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water.

Regarding the matter of paying tribute to the river god's marriage, of course those organizers didn't take the initiative to stop it.The tribute to the river god's marriage lasted for five years. In the fifth year, Ximen Bao already knew the cause and effect of the matter.But even though he was Yeling, he couldn't let them cancel the tribute to the river god for marriage without any reason.

Therefore, before the wedding and tribute, Ximenbao told the great wizard and the elders in charge of this matter that he would definitely come to support him on the day of the wedding and tribute.Ximen Bao wanted to come to the scene in person, which made the great wizard and the three elders feel flattered.But doing so would do them no harm.

That morning, Ximen Bao took the yamen servants to the river, and met the girl who had been chosen to give to the river god.Ximen Leopard stepped forward and lifted the girl's red hijab, and shook his head after only one glance.

He said to the great wizard behind him: "This woman looks too ordinary. Could it be that this is how you help the river god?"

The great wizard smiled wryly when he heard the words, of course he also knew that this girl was ordinary-looking, but most of the poor families in Ye County moved away, and they didn't dare to move girls from rich families.Don't look at this woman's ordinary appearance, but it took them a lot of effort.

Seeing that the great wizard didn't answer, Ximen Bao said: "This woman is so ordinary that I can't even see it. How could the River God take it? You send someone to say hello to the River God, and I will choose a woman for him. What do you think of the beautiful woman who is outstanding and beautiful just sent back to him?"

The great wizard nodded again and again, and the three elders standing aside frowned slightly.Before they could come to their senses, Ximen Leopard pointed at the little wizard who was specially helping the great wizard, and said to the yamen servant: "Send him to the river god and send me a few words."

The yamen servants' eyes lit up when they heard this, and they strode up to the little wizard, lifted him up and threw him directly into the river.Simon Leopard stood by the river and waited quietly. It was estimated that half an hour later, the little wizard sank to the bottom for a long time and did not come up.He pointed to the great wizard who was in charge of paying tribute to the river god's marriage, and several yamen servants pushed the great wizard to come to Ximen Leopard.

Ximen Leopard said: "He has been down for so long and hasn't come back. It seems that the River God is very hospitable. Please help me go down and urge the River God. But you must remember that you must never stay with the River God. We They're all here waiting for you."

Before the great wizard could say his begging for mercy, he was thrown into the river by the yamen servants.The great wizard jumped a few times in the river, and then slowly sank.

About half an hour later, Ximen Bao still didn't see the big wizard and the little wizard coming back, so he asked people to throw the three elders into the river.The reason is the same as before, since the God of the River has kept the big wizard and the little wizard as guests in the mansion, it is better to ask the three elders to go over and urge everyone, so that everyone can disperse earlier.
