Pastoral lucky girl's counterattack

Chapter 787 Gao Zifeng


"This, this?" Gao Zifeng was very uncertain.Eyes floated up.

Qiu Laifu met.Furious, he asked coldly, "You don't know? You don't even know the basic livelihood of the people in your county. What are you doing?"

The cold air around Qiu Laifu instantly spread throughout the room, and the temperature in the whole room seemed to suddenly drop to freezing point.

Gao Zifeng shivered in fright.This little imperial envoy is so powerful!He was in this county before, and he had been fooling around.He is also so old, and he wants to transfer another place, but he has never been able to find it, so he doesn't pay much attention to the issues of people's livelihood. Usually, as long as it is not a major matter of murder and arson, he will be taken care of by the master. .Although the county is very barren, but he is living like an old man.

Now this little imperial envoy asks about people's livelihood, how can he answer it!Those things are usually taken care of by the master or the county magistrate.If there is no major event, neither of them will report to him.

For example, drought, their county is close to the desert, drought is very common, so the county magistrate and master didn't pay much attention to it.It also leads to his complete ignorance.

"I, I, I'll go and call Master over here." Gao Zifeng could only think of this way out of desperation.

He ran outside without any regard for etiquette.At this moment, he was very grateful that he had brought the master here.

Qiu Laifu was also out of temper by his anger.Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, she sat there silently waiting for Gao Zifeng to bring someone over.

Not long after, Gao Zifeng arrived with his master.

Qiu Laifu looked at this master carefully, she wanted to see what kind of person Gao Zifeng used so much, she hoped he was someone with some ability.

As soon as the master arrived, he greeted Qiu Laifu and Qiu Shunde next to him, and then introduced himself, "I am the master of Su County Magistrate. Deng Guanglu. I have met the imperial envoy."

Qiu Laifu looked at him for two seconds and said, "You are highly recommended by the magistrate Gao, so I will ask you. You can see the drought in Su County. Such a severe drought, how can you resist it?"

Deng Guanglu turned his head to look at Gao Zifeng.There was a resentment in his heart, and he didn't tell him why when he was pulled here just now. He thought it would be a good thing to have the opportunity to meet the imperial envoy, but who knew he was asking such a difficult question.

But it's useless to blame him at this time, you have to find a way to deal with it first. "Return to my lord. Our county is close to the desert. This kind of drought occurs almost every year, so everyone knows it. So all the fields are planted with millet. This is a very drought-tolerant crop. Like today The drought will not affect the harvest."

Qiu Laifu listened thoughtfully, then nodded. "What will happen if it doesn't rain for three months?"

Deng Guanglu was startled when he heard this, and then said, "My lord, the weather in our county is basically that there is little rain in the first few months, and there will be heavy rain in the next month. This situation occurs almost every year. so."

Qiu Laifu said doubtfully. "How do you know? Are there no exceptions?"

Deng Guanglu thought for a while before answering, "My lord, I was born in a farming family. The previous generations were farmers. So I have some experience in growing crops, and I also have some understanding of the local climate.

There are exceptions. I heard my grandfather once said that when he was young, there was a drought in one year. In that year, there was no rain for the next month, and then almost a year without rain. It didn't rain.Did adults already know that there will be a drought this year? "

After Qiu Laifu heard this, his expression became serious.People in this area have absolutely no sense of drought resistance.There has always been a fluke in my heart.Even if the villagers are now mobilized to fight the drought, those people will probably be tired and unwilling to cooperate.

"You mean if it doesn't rain for the next month, there might be a drought, right?" Qiu Laifu asked seriously.

Deng Guanglu immediately said, "My lord, I dare not make such a guarantee. I just heard my grandfather talk about the drought that year, so I don't know whether there will be a drought."

Hearing his cunning words, Qiu Laifu felt both angry and funny. This person is indeed a cunning person, and he thought it was true. With a dignified personality, sitting in the position of the master must be like a fish in water.This kind of plausible answer must come at your fingertips.

Qiu Laifu glanced at Qiu Shunde next to him.Qiu Shunde has just been transferred here, so naturally he doesn't know the weather here.So when he encountered a drought, he quickly reported it to the higher authorities.It is estimated that the magistrate read his notes and laughed at him for making a fuss.

But this year's drought, he already knew about it.When those magistrates neglect their duties, Li Xuanran will definitely not let them off easily.

"Although you are used to drought here, you haven't thought about improving your living environment. For example, dig more wells to draw groundwater. Also, dig more deep pits to save more when it rains. Water. Aren’t those all measures?”

Deng Guanglu heard it.Suddenly, it was like enlightenment.Kneeling on the ground with a plop, he gave Qiu Laifu three heavy kowtows. "My lord is very right. The villain will go down and arrange these things, hoping to dig more deep pits before it rains, retain some water, and make life easier for people in our county."

Seeing that Deng Guanglu wanted to do these things right away, Qiu Laifu felt that this man was really a good official who was dedicated to serving the people.

Looking at Gao Zifeng again, Gao Zifeng looked nervous at this time, but Qiu Laifu knew that he was nervous about the Wusha hat on his head.Qiu Laifu ignored him for the time being, and said to Gao Zifeng, "Both of you go get busy."

Gao Zifeng and Deng Guanglu bid farewell and left.Qiu Shunde didn't speak to Qiu Laifu until their backs disappeared. "My lord can check to see if there is groundwater here."

Qiu Laifu shook his head, "I haven't found out the groundwater here yet. I also just arrived, and then I fell ill. You see, I haven't had time to check each place carefully."

When Qiu Laifu said he was sick, he glanced at Qiu Shunde.It happened that Qiu Shunde also turned his head to look over.But when Qiu Shunde found that Qiu Laifu was looking at him, he quickly turned his eyes away, not daring to look at Qiu Laifu again.His lips moved, but nothing came out after all.

Qiu Laifu didn't want to be alone with him anymore.So he found an excuse and sent him out.

After all, Qiu Shunde never proposed to recognize Qiu Laifu.On the second day, I left Su County and returned to Qingyang County.

On the second day, Qiu Laifu took the super loyal follower she brought, and carefully surveyed the field in Su County.

In fact, she still hopes to find a large number of underground water sources such as the underground on this piece of land.

Along the way, they found that many villagers were already digging wells, and some were digging reservoirs.It seems that Deng Guanglu and Gao Zifeng acted very fast.
