Chapter 20

When Pang Degong took Liu Xiu out of the house, he saw a group of farmers in short clothes and shabby clothes gathered together.

The faces of these people were all anxious.

Seeing him coming out, his eyes fell on him. A group of people surrounded Mr. pound and talked in a noisy way, just like a vegetable market.

"Be quiet!"

Mr. pound, with a serious face, cried in a deep voice.

In an instant, dozens of farmers, all quiet down.

One by one, they looked at pound with longing and worry.

The face full of frost is tight, the hand full of cocoons is clenched, showing the eagerness in the heart.

Pound's eyes swept over everyone. His eyes were sharp and his tone was serious. He said, "everyone of you talks. Your voice is too noisy and there are too many questions. I can't answer them all by myself. I'll give you a quarter of an hour, and you'll recommend a man to come out and let him talk to me. "

After hearing this, the farmers thought it was reasonable and began to discuss it immediately.

Liu Xiu admired Pound's treatment in his eyes.

If Mr. pound came up and asked one by one, the whole scene would be out of control and the problem would not be solved. Pang Degong took the lead and suppressed the opinions of the farmers. Only by letting the farmers elect a representative can the communication be smooth.

After a short time, the farmers recommended one person.

"Pang Gong, my name is Qitan. I'm a farmer at the foot of the mountain. Let me talk about it."

Qitan is a farmer, but he is chivalrous and fair. Especially when the villagers near lumen mountain have a headache, Qitan is eager to help. He has a high prestige among the farmers.

Pound is just: "sit down and say."

When everyone sat down, Mr. pound asked, "tell me, what are the difficulties?"

Looking worried, Qi Tan replied, "the main difficulty is still water shortage. After the beginning of spring this year, there was less rain. It has been June now, and there is not much rain. Although lumen mountain is close to the Hanjiang River, it is a long way and troublesome to divert water from the Hanjiang River to the farmland at the foot of the mountain. Now it's June, and the rice fields need water, but it's short of water. In the long run, this year's harvest may be greatly reduced. The villagers came to Pang Gong together to ask him to find a way to solve the current predicament. "

Pound frowned a little. He couldn't think of a solution for a moment when it came to the harvest of the farmland.

This is not a simple matter.

Qi Tan added: "if we can't solve the problem of water shortage, the problem will be serious. All the villagers around lumen mountain depend on the weather for food. If the weather is not beautiful, they will be hungry. "

After pondering for a long time, Mr. pound said, "let me handle this matter."

Qi Tan asked, "what is Pang Gong going to do?"

It's not that Qi Tan doesn't believe in pound, it's because he has to be careful about whether he has enough to eat.

Pound said, "I have three plans for this."

"First, I promise that if it's time for the harvest envoys, the rice yield in the field will be greatly reduced, but I won't be hungry. I promise to reduce the rent of the villagers, so that the villagers can survive smoothly."

"Second, if the natural disaster is serious, the grain collected in the field is seriously insufficient. I will open a warehouse to release grain and give the villagers a certain amount of grain so that they can spend the disaster year. "

"Third, the current drought is caused by lack of water. I will send people to get water to alleviate the current drought."

Pound looked calm and said three guarantees directly.

As soon as the words came out, the farmers, led by Qi Tan, cheered and looked excited.

They are Pang's tenants, farming Pang's fields.

Pound promised to reduce rent and even open warehouse to release grain in case of drought, which means that even if there is a severe drought, they will be able to survive the disaster year. The most important thing is that the Pontifical association has made every effort to solve the problem of difficult water intake, which is the most important.

They all gave thanks one after another.

At this time, the family's attendants came out with tea to let the farmers drink tea to quench their thirst.

With a smile, Pang Degong pointed to Liu Xiu and said, "fellow villagers, this is Liu Xiu, my disciple. He is good at water conservancy. This time, he will try his best to solve the problem of water shortage. Please rest assured that the drought will pass. This year's harvest in the field will not be affected. "

The corner of Liu Xiu's mouth twitches, how to suddenly pull to his body.

However, Qi Tan and other farmers looked at Liu Xiu and quickly said thanks, and they all recognized Liu Xiu.

This scene made Liu Xiu's mind even worse.

Just now, he was still admiring the way in which pound dealt with it. But he didn't expect that in a twinkling of an eye, pound pushed the matter to him and pushed him into the pit of fire.

In the face of farmers' gratitude, Liu Xiu had to smile.

At this time, we can't dismantle the stage of Lord pound.

After Qitan and other farmers left, Liu Xiucai said anxiously: "teacher, I don't know how to use water conservancy. Is it too difficult for me to solve the problem of drought? Moreover, the drought has already occurred, and it is difficult to solve the problem of water in a short time. "It's too sudden to get water.

Pound just color way: "let you do, there are two considerations."

Liu Xiu asked, "which two considerations?"

Pound replied, "first of all, this is your first test when you go to lumen mountain. In other words, it's the first test after you get started. Second, you will encounter all kinds of problems in the future, which will be more difficult and hasty. But, are you not sure, you will not do it? It's something that someone has to do. "

Liu Xiu was shocked when he heard the speech.

Pound's words are reasonable. If you encounter difficulties that cannot be solved in the future, will you ignore them?

No way!

Liu Xiuse said: "the teacher's instruction is remembered by the disciples."

With a smile, pound said, "in my study, there are books on water conservancy. During this period, you can read it by yourself and find out the solution as soon as possible. We need to use personnel. We need to transfer them directly from your family. I believe that the farmers at the foot of the mountain are willing to help you. "

Liu xiudao: "I understand!" After a pause, Liu xiudao said, "it's not too late. I'll check the information first, and then think about the solution."

At this time, Liu Xiu's mind is full of solving the problem of drought.

This is the first test after his entry, which must be completed gracefully.

"Go," he waved

Liu Xiu was also very anxious and went to pound's study in a hurry.

Pound's face was dignified. He told Pang Fu to clean up the tea and went down the mountain alone. He didn't think of a solution to the problem of drought and water shortage in the farmland for a moment. He had to go to Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan for a solution and let them participate in it.
