Chapter 114: Farmers

The turmoil caused by the bloody massacre did not last long.

After Ren Xiao executed the imperial edict, he did not continue to pursue it. At least in the eyes of most people, he did not.

But Liu Kan knew that Ren Xiao did not give up.

After dealing with Ren Xiao for several years, although he doesn't know him well, Liu Kan knows that Ren Xiao is definitely not a person to give up easily. Especially on some issues involving principles, Ren Xiao will not be ruthless, and he will definitely continue to investigate.

But what does this have to do with yourself?

After Liu Kan returned to Lou Cang, she became mysterious again.

He rarely goes out of the official office. In addition to practicing martial arts and studying, he spends most of his time in the kitchen. Sometimes even Wang Ji, Lu Ge, and even Cheng Miao will go to help, and often stay in the kitchen for most of the day. As for what he is doing, no one knows.

Time passes quickly, and it is the end of the month in a blink of an eye.

The date of delivery of the two thousand taels of gold is getting closer, but Chen Yu and Guan Que have not yet sent back the news.

On the contrary, after receiving the letter from Lu Ge, Lu Wen was so excited that he never fell asleep all night. People often talk about the local complex and the local complex.

In fact, let’s explain it separately, one is home and the other is land.

No matter how much money and silk are in your hand, they are not as good as a thousand hectares of good land. As Lu Wen said, when he was in Pei County, he wanted to buy some land. However, he was worried that he would be excluded and would be plotted against by others at that time; secondly, it was indeed difficult at that time.

As the world gradually calmed down, Lu Wen gradually fiddled back to his tone.

The idea of ​​buying land became stronger and stronger. However, in Pei County, it was no longer so realistic. Thinking back to the time, Liu Kan bought a hectare of wasteland for only 1,800 yuan. But now, with Pei County becoming increasingly prosperous, the price of this land has also increased three times a day.

Take the ten hectares of land that Liu Kan bought at the beginning as an example.

Now that I want to buy this land, one hectare will cost at least one tael of gold.

Don’t think it’s expensive, this is right next to the Sishui Huadiao Restaurant. Although Liu Kan is gone, Cao Wushang is still there.

If you can get a little bit related, it is worth spending a lot of money.

Lu Wen had some money in his hand, but he really didn't want to ask him to spend one or two taels of gold to buy a hectare of land.

The reason is nothing more... Lu Wen doesn't sell wine! But the land of Sishuiting has reached this level half an hour from Pei County. What about other places? The cheapest one is seven or eight thousand coins per hectares. After hesitating for a long time, Lu Wen finally gave up.

Now, three hundred taels of gold and one thousand hectares of land!

How could Lu Wen let it go?

The old man seemed to know that some things seemed to have been done a little, and now he is a little embarrassed to see Liu Kan again. As he gets older, he cares more and more about face. In the end, he asked Lu Shizhi to go to Lou Cang to discuss. The old man had no other explanation, but only told Lu Shizhi: When he arrived at Lou Cang, listen to your Brother Kan. How do he allocate to you? Just listen. Don't make him angry.

It was only half a year in a flash, and Lu Wen found that when he faced Liu Kan again, he was afraid that he would need to be trembling!

Lu Shizhi was a heartless guy and didn't understand the old man's thoughts. However, before leaving, he was extremely excited.

With the acquisition of 300 taels of gold, Liu Kan has basically collected 2,000 taels.

However, he was not in a hurry to deliver it to Ren Xiao, and was still waiting patiently. Waiting for Chen Yu, waiting for Guan Que... people should not be without trust.

In this month, Wang Ben died of illness.

With the death of Wang Ben, it also means that the old group of generals completely withdrew from the stage of history. In the hands of Emperor Qin, three groups of generals emerged. Among them, Wang Jian and Meng Ao, who were the oldest group of generals. Meng Ao went from Qi to Qin during the reign of King Zhao of Qin, and was appointed as the minister of the reign of King Zhao. Later, he served as a general during the reign of King Zhuangxiang of Qin and began his military career in conquering the six kingdoms.

It can be said that Wang Jian and Meng Ao were the wealth left by King Zhuangxiang of Qin for the First Emperor Ying Zheng.

Meng Ao died in the seventh year of King Zheng of Qin, and Wang Jian died of illness at home in the third year after defeating Chu.

Subsequently, generals such as Mengwu King Ben and Li Xin emerged.

These generals were promoted after the First Emperor ascended the throne. In terms of age, they belonged to the Mesozoic generation. From Lu Buwei's destruction of Zhou to the First Emperor's sweeping Liuhe, during which time, all of these people were basically involved in the battles of all sizes.

There are victory and failure; there are glory and shame.

Li Xin died of illness in his hometown in Longxi the year when Emperor Qin Shi unified the six kingdoms; Meng Wu was plagued by illness and now he basically ignored the world. Now Wang Ben has died of illness, leaving a son under his knees, named Wang Li. He is older than Meng Tian and holds important positions in the army.

The First Emperor was extremely sad.

However, these things have nothing to do with Liu Kan. Xianyang is thousands of miles away from Lou Cang, and he has no feelings about Wang Ben's death.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are normal...

It was the second day of the second month, and it was busy farming. The drizzle never stopped for three consecutive days.

This is undoubtedly a great thing for the building and warehouse. When the spring farming is busy, this light rain is helping to cultivate.

On this day, Liu Kan brought Cao Shen, Zhou Chang, Cheng Miao and Xiangqiang to the banks of Suishui River with four horses.

"Sir, it will be the flood season in two months."

Xiang Qiang said with concern: "I just don't know what the flood situation is like this year. Last year, the Sui River surged, and the dam burst from the Dragon King's mouth, flooding thousands of hectares of land. Please see, three miles south of this is the Dragon King's mouth... The terrain on the east side is low-lying, and once the dam breaks, it is very dangerous."

He pointed his finger in front of him and explained to Liu Kan.

Liu Kan said silently and rode his horse slowly along the river bank.

"Old Cao, what's your idea?"

"It is better to be diluted than blocking. This is a method passed down since ancient times... But the problem is, how to guide it? I have not made any decision yet."

Zhou Chang and others also remained silent and observed the terrain quietly.

After a long time, Cheng Miao suddenly spoke: "Sir, this year, Gudi should be the first priority. After all, time is too late for us to do other things. But after the busy farming is over, we may be able to do something. Miao has an idea, but I wonder if it should be said or not?"

"Mr. Cheng just said it."

Cheng Miao thought for a while, "Zheng State built canals and expanded fertile land for Lao Qin for 800 miles. The year before yesterday, we passed by Sanchuan County and saw the Honggou Canal, which was also built to diffuse river channels. Of course, such a large-scale canal construction is not suitable for us. However, building small canals and irrigate river water... on the one hand, it can alleviate the flood situation in the Sui River, and on the other hand, it can prevent drought, which can be done."

Building a canal?

Liu Kanyi frowned, "This is not a trivial matter. It requires careful planning, and it requires someone who is good at this to preside over it."

As he spoke, he looked at Cao Shen and others.

"Who are you good at this?"

"this……"

Not only Cheng Miao had nothing to say, but even the three people, including Cao Shen, were silent.

"Well, this matter needs to be discussed for a long time, and it cannot be decided at any time. Everyone thinks about ways to try to have a plan before the autumn harvest. But before that... Lao Cao needs to trouble you. You have to stop a group of people and strengthen the river embankment. Don't let everyone work for a year in the end. And Lao Cao, you can cooperate with Lao Cao. This matter is the most important thing now."

Cao Shen and Xiang Qiang immediately bowed and replied: "Here!"

Liu Kan turned his horse's head, looked up at the sky, and said in a deep voice: "Lao Zhou should sort out the granaries as soon as possible these days. In a few days, a large number of supplies will arrive at the building warehouse. You must do it properly and don't make any mistakes. This is the first time our building warehouse has been put into use."

"Don't worry, sir, the official will definitely treat it carefully."

Zhou Chang looked solemn and bowed his hand to answer.

"Everyone go and do it. Mr. Cheng and I will take a walk. You don't have to accompany me anymore... By the way, Lao Zhou, there is another thing you should pay attention to. I remember when I first came to Louting, people said that Sui River had three harms. Now that the abandoned son has been lost, the flooding is not solved in one day; in addition, there are still harms of rats, so you should be careful. It is best to discuss this with Qiang Lao to see if there is a way to prevent it."

Xiangqiang said: "It is really a blessing for the people who are dedicated to benefiting my Lou Cang."

Liu Kan smiled and scolded: "Old Mr. Qiang has a good mouth. Don't say such stupid words, you should think of a way to solve the problem."

Although she was laughing and scolding, Xiang Qiang felt so comfortable when he listened to it.

This shows that Lord Kura Rei regards him as his own person... How could this be possible if it were someone else?

I felt happy and said goodbye to Cao Shen and Zhou Chang to Liu Kan.

Liu Kan and Cheng Miao walked on horseback, "Mr. Cheng, I just saw that you seemed to have something to say, so you might as well say it now."

Cheng Miao said: "Original Master, I actually have a choice to treat floods."

"who?"

"This person's name is Chen Ying, who is from Dongyang (now Tianchang County, Anhui). This person was born in a farmer family and was born in the Chen family of the Dongyang clan. His ancestors were the two brothers of Chen Xin and Chen Xiang. It is said that Zheng State was born under Chen Xin. This person has great power and should be able to control floods. But..."

Liu Kan turned his head and asked, "But what?"

"The Chen family is close to Chu, so I'm worried that there will be trouble."

Liu Kan nodded slightly, expressing his understanding of Cheng Miao's concern. Indeed, there have just been so many things in Sihong. It is not easy to invite Chen Ying, but it is also... it is likely to cause some unnecessary trouble. God knows, what background does this guy have?

However, for Liu Kan, a person who can control floods is an urgent matter.

After pondering for a while, Liu Kan said, "I will go to Tong County in a few days to ask the county magistrate for advice and then discuss the situation."

"In addition, I am preparing to build a city and build a fortress, and I have another person to recommend..."

Cheng Miao was just talking when a sudden sound of horse hooves came from a distance. But when he saw a horse galloping towards him, the knight on the horse shouted loudly from a distance: "Sir, sir!"

The rain is misty and disturbs the sight.

However, Liu Kan still saw clearly the person who was right away, Chen Daozi.

Chen Daozi stopped in front of Liu Kan and said breathlessly: "Sir, please quickly turn back to the official office. County Magistrate Xu is waiting for the official office."

Liu Kan was stunned, "County Magistrate Xu? Are you talking about Ying Zhuang?"

Chen Daozi nodded and said, "It's Mr. Ying Zhuang. He seems to have something urgent to do. He ordered me to ask the master to go back immediately."
