I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

Because of the loss of food in Xiaozhangzhuang, the county magistrate became sensitive to the name Xiaozhangzhuang.

Hearing the kneeling person below say that Xiao Zhangzhuang had discovered an undercurrent, the county magistrate thought for a moment that he had heard it wrong.

"You said that Xiao Zhangzhuang...has an undercurrent?"

The county magistrate asked uncertainly, and Shuanzi nodded hastily.

"Responding to your lord's words, the grass-roots dare not lie to your lord. We have indeed found an undercurrent there, and the amount is not small."

Shuanzi told the county magistrate everything Lizheng had told him before.

The next moment, the county magistrate stood up from the stool, his eyes were a little red.

He thought that because of the drought in the past few years, his official career would be explained here in this life, but he didn't expect that there was a new turning point now.

The county magistrate subconsciously looked at Master Xu, "Master Xu, what do you think?"

Master Xu was also surprised when he heard the undercurrent in Xiaozhangzhuang.

But thinking that if the undercurrent is continuous, it can indeed save many people's lives.

Master Xu was silent for a moment, and then looked at Shuan Zi who was kneeling in the lobby.

"When did you discover the undercurrent in your village?"

The county magistrate never cared about the fact that Master Xu bypassed him and asked Shuanzi directly.

One is that Mr. Xu himself is a helpful helper, and if there is a solution to this drought, his political achievements will also be added.

When Shuanzi heard Master Xu's words, he hesitated a bit.

He didn't know whether he should tell about the discovery of lotus roots and ponds in his village.

Seeing this, the county magistrate frowned involuntarily.

"Do you know what crime it is to conceal and fail to report?"

Shuanzi was taken aback, thinking that Zhu Qiuqi had said before that the current county magistrate is a good official doing things for the people, Shuanzi calmed down again.

"Responding to my lord, Caomin doesn't know what the crime is? But the situation in Caomin's village is special. If the county magistrate doesn't believe it, you can send someone to follow Caomin to have a look."

The county magistrate saw that an ordinary person in Xiaozhangzhuang could treat him so neither humble nor overbearing, and he suddenly became interested in him.

The people in those individual villages usually look trembling when they see him. How come the people in Xiaozhangzhuang are not afraid at all?

The previous Zhu Qiuqi was, and now Shuanzi is also...

Could it be that what he, the county magistrate, has done is no longer majestic?

The county magistrate shook his head. He went out a few days ago, so it is impossible not to be majestic.

The problem can only come from this little Zhangzhuang man!

Seeing the county magistrate's face changing, Master Xu suddenly stepped forward and cupped his hands.

"My lord, I would like to take this trip for my lord, to see the situation of Xiao Zhangzhuang."

In fact, the magistrate wants to see for himself more, and by the way, see what kind of people this Xiaozhangzhuang is like.

However, Master Xu had already spoken at this time, and as the county magistrate, he really couldn't walk around at will.

"Then I'll have to thank Master Xu. Catcher Wang, follow Master Xu. Remember, you must ensure Master Xu's comfort."

Wang Butou bowed his hands in response, "Please rest assured, my lord, my subordinates will definitely protect Master Xu safe and sound."

The county magistrate nodded in satisfaction when he heard Catcher Wang's promise.

"Go, be careful on the road."

With that said, the county magistrate also handed a token to Mr. Xu.

"If there is any change, seeing this token is like seeing the county magistrate."

Master Xu's heart skipped a beat, and he took it immediately.

Once the news of Xiaozhangzhuang's discovery of the undercurrent spread, not only the nearby villages from ten miles and eight villages would pay attention to Xiaozhangzhuang, but even those powerful landlords would also follow.

Sometimes when people like them come forward, it is indeed not as useful as the token on the waist of the county magistrate.

Shuanzi was also relieved to see that everyone was willing to follow him to Xiaozhang Village.

His father had warned him before, not to just report to the officials, but to let the officials follow him back.

In order to go to Xiaozhang Village as soon as possible, the county magistrate even donated his own carriage.

……

At this time, at the entrance of Xiaozhangzhuang village, several women looked at the waterwheel beside Xiaozhangzhuang's field with shocked faces.

Seeing that the water wheel poured all the water into the field beside her, Zhang Daniu's daughter-in-law covered her mouth and couldn't say a word for a long time.

When everyone saw Zhang Daniu's daughter-in-law, their expressions suddenly became extremely ugly.

"What are you doing here?"

Someone saw that Zhang Daniu's daughter-in-law seemed to want to get closer to the waterwheel, so she even stopped her.

"You...you are secretly using water here..."

"To shut up!"

Hearing what Zhang Daniu's wife said, someone immediately scolded her.

"What do you mean we use water secretly? Shut up if you can't speak! Our water comes from the mountain, so what does it matter to you?"

Zhang Daniu's daughter-in-law shook her head again and again, "This is impossible! How can there be water on the mountain..."

But before she finished speaking, she saw the canal on Xiao Zhangzhuang's side.

When the canal was being repaired before, everyone was busy at night.

Zhang Daniu's daughter-in-law came to inquire about the news during the day, so she didn't see any movement of Xiao Zhangzhuang.

Seeing the long canal leading directly to the back mountain now, Zhang Daniu's daughter-in-law was a little dumbfounded for a moment.

"You really brought water down from the mountain?"

No one answered Zhang Daniu's daughter-in-law, and she was not embarrassed.

Looking around, he realized that the people of Xiaozhangzhuang had already watered all their fields.

"Hmph, you little Zhangzhuang has hidden so much water, I think you can keep it for a few days!"

After Zhang Daniu's wife finished speaking, she left in a hurry.

When everyone saw her back, they knew that she was going back to her mother's house to report.

Seeing this, the other women rolled their eyes wildly, and left in a hurry under the eyes of everyone.

Seeing those women leave, everyone looked at Li Zheng worriedly.

"Lizheng, what should we do? Those damn things must have gone back to their natal family to report."

Li Zheng forgot to glance in the direction of the official road, and only then did he appease everyone.

"Don't worry, Shuanzi has already gone to the government to report to the government. It will not be long before the government will come. Let alone the people from the ten miles and eight villages, even the landlord will not dare to touch our things. !"

When everyone heard this, they unconsciously felt a little relieved.

"Hurry up and water it. It's best to water the fields before the government officials come, so that the government will send people to guard the undercurrent. It won't be so convenient for us to use it."

At this time, Zhang Daniu's daughter-in-law was also excitedly talking about Xiao Zhangzhuang with her parents and brothers, completely forgetting that she was still from Xiao Zhangzhuang.

Zhang Daniu's daughter-in-law's sister-in-law glanced at Zhang Daniu's wife, and a look of contempt flashed in her eyes.

"Sister, is what you said true? Is there really water on the back hill of Xiaozhangzhuang?"
