tiger at home

I bother!Liu An cursed in his heart, when did you drink with my father?You old fox, my father hates you the most!

Wang Gui wiped his tears and recalled the past. It seemed that he was really just an old man who was too old to cause any harm. rice, with water from the same river..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present in Tiger Village changed their faces. This is to divide the water source of Tiger Village!

It's a severe drought at the moment, and the water shortage is severe. Presumably, the rivers in the surrounding villages are almost dry!

Tiger Village is the closest to the deep mountains, and the water source is also the latest to dry up. This is the idea of ​​using the Yongchun River in Shangyang Village!

If this is agreed to Shangyang Village, what about other villages?Who wouldn't want a piece of the action?The water source of the Yongchun River is already in constant disputes for the entire Tiger Village, let alone other villages?Certainly not enough!

But if you don't agree to Wang Gui's request and spread the reputation of Menghu Village for abusing women, how will everyone get married in the past few years?Then the whole village must scold him?

Here's the puzzle!But there is only one choice!

"Uncle Wang! This is not allowed!" Liu Xi can't get out at this time. If this happens, won't the whole village drive him out?Although he really wanted to see Liu An's jokes, it was related to the water source of the whole village, and there was absolutely no room for mistakes.

"Uncle Wang, this matter cannot be decided by just the few of us!" Liu An also knew the seriousness of this matter, but now, no matter what he chooses, his Liu An family will face the scolding of the entire Tiger Village!Even with Liu Chen as the backer!

"Uncle Wang, it is abominable to take away people's food, but if it is to take away people's water source, it is tantamount to taking their lives!" Liu Bigui puffed a circle of smoke, and in the haze of smoke, he frowned and his eyes were deep.

Wang Gui also knew that such a situation would be brought about. No one would share the water source with others at this time, but he had to do so. The water source in Shangyang Village was almost dry. This was to save the lives of the entire village!

He was crying all the time, so he didn't wipe it at this time, he just pushed the bench away and knelt on the ground, "I can't help it! The river in Shangyang Village was originally thin and slow, but now it's dry! Drinking water from several old wells in the village, and taking care of the crops, I have no other choice!" Wang Gui knelt down, and Wang Chenggong also knelt down.

As soon as Wang Gui knelt down, the rest of the people immediately got up and tried to pull him up, but although Wang Gui was old, he was very strong, no one was able to pull him up with their combined efforts, let alone Wang Chenggong.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be so shameless. Shangyang Village and Menghu Village have lived together for hundreds of years. Which of you has no relatives there? If you don't save our Shangyang Village, your relatives must not be left behind!"

Liu Bigui was the most courageous, he saw that Wang Gui couldn't be pulled back, and he couldn't let him be like this. An elder knelt down for several juniors, so he also knelt down with a puff. The others had no choice but to see Liu Bigui like this No, Liu An was the fastest, he had no other choice at all, Liu Xi was a little reluctant, he had come to dig a hole for Liu An, but unexpectedly pulled himself down.Liu Chen kept yelling at Wang Chenggong in his heart. His legs had never been kneeled by many people. How dare Wang Chenggong cheat him!

"Uncle Wang, it's not that we don't agree, but that the Yongchun River is about to dry up! If you don't believe me, Uncle Wang, let me take a look." Liu Bigui said.

"Uncle Wang, don't force people! Things in the world should always be done according to etiquette!" Liu Chen said.

"Uncle Wang, Shangyang Village is half an hour away from here. Even if we agree, carrying water like this every day will be exhausting!" Liu An said.

"You don't need to worry about these, you just say whether you agree or not! I kowtow to you on behalf of all the old and young in Shangyang Village." As he said this, Wang Gui bent down and kowtowed to them three times. When he became popular, Wang Chenggong actually followed behind him, knocking his head three times.

Several people couldn't stop them, so Liu Bigui also kowtowed three times to Wang Gui and the others, and the rest of them kowtowed in the same way, but they didn't know whether they wanted it or not.

"Knowing that you are short of water, I am not greedy. I just want to transport water to the mountain behind you every morning."

"Houshan? Uncle Wang is talking about the source of the Yongchun River?" Liu Bigui said.

"The water on the mountain is not the water from the Yongchun River? You transported the water from the source? Isn't our water short?" Liu Chen said.

"Can any of you tell where the source of the Yongchun River is?" Wang Gui asked.

However, no one can tell the source of the Yongchun River. The Yongchun River has been left from the deep mountains all the way, over the mountains and mountains. Someone once walked along the Yongchun River. After walking for several days and nights, they did not see the source. Lin Qing, who went up the mountain to collect herbs for ten days and half a month and would not come, didn't know either.

So several people were silent, but Wang Gui didn't want them to say anything.

"How long the Yongchun River is, I think you know better than me. It flows all the way to Menghu Village. The water source is abundant. People in our village fetch water half an hour away from the upper reaches of the Yongchun River. There is a branch of the Yongchun River. We Take water only in the branches."

As soon as Wang Gui said this, several people looked at each other in blank dismay, there was really no way to say it now.

After thinking for a while, it was Liu Bigui who said, "Uncle Wang is serious?"

"Of course. But since we only draw water from the branch, as long as the water in the branch is not dry, you can't stop us from taking water." Wang Gui paused for a moment, "Even if the water in the upper reaches of the Yongchun River is dry, you can only When you can go up to get water, you can't stop us from getting water!"

The few people breathed a sigh of relief. Even though the Yongchun River in the village dried up, and there were countless droughts in the upper reaches of the river, there has never been a saying that the Yongchun River has dried up and died of thirst.

"It should be so, but..." Liu Bigui looked at Wang Gui, "What does the village chief buy water for?"

"Hahaha." Wang Gui laughed loudly, stroking his beard, "As expected of Liu Yunhai's descendant, you really have a bit of his bearing!"

"Uncle Wang, don't laugh, since we have set the precedent, compared with other villages, they will come to negotiate one after another. We set the precedent for Uncle Wang, so naturally we want to get some benefits. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of water for all the nearby villages? ?” Liu Bigui asked.

"Well said! Since you have set a precedent for me in Shangyang Village, this benefit is naturally indispensable. How about this, our village will produce a thousand catties of grain!" Wang Gui said.

"A thousand catties of grain? Doesn't Uncle Wang feel that the water, food, and farms used by the entire Shangyang Village are a little small?" Liu Bigui asked.

Wang Gui's eyes became lighter, he looked at Liu Bigui, "Little Liu, don't push yourself too hard!"

"Uncle Wang, how long do you want to use this water? There are 600 people in Shangyang Village, and Uncle Wang wants to use a summer's worth of water for each person's one or two catties of grain?" Liu Bigui asked back.

"Uncle Wang, your calculations are too loud! Tell me about such a good thing, and I really want to buy a summer of water for 5 copper coins." Liu Chen asked with a smile.

Wang Gui was silent for a moment, "What do you want to calculate?"

"Ten catties of food for each person!"

After Liu Bigui finished speaking, the eyes of several people lit up. This is a whole six thousand catties of rice!Including the five nearby villages, it is 5 catties of grain, converted to 500 copper coins, or 150 silver!There are not many people in Menghu Village, only more than 5 people. Calculated in this way, each person can be allocated 6 copper coins. There are [-] or [-] people in a family, which is nearly one tael of silver, which can be worth a quarter of a family’s income. up!

Wang Gui's face darkened, "You're pretty good!"

Liu Bigui: "Just forty copper coins can save the grain for the next year, which is not a loss."

"Then what about Xiaochun? You have to give us Shangyang Village an explanation!" Wang Gui looked at him with a dark face, "Our married daughter from Shangyang Village is abused like this?"

Liu An: "As I said just now, I will also pay for 500 copper coins and medical expenses."

Even if Shangyang Village publicizes this matter, as long as this summer is over and everyone knows the benefits of Tiger Village's water source, it can not only irrigate crops but also make money, I believe there is no need to worry about no women marrying over!

The abacus in Liu An's mind was clattering, and Liu Xi's mind was very clear, but at this time, it was impossible to rely on Tiger Village's hind legs, so Liu Xi couldn't say anything.Hmph, as far as medical expenses, you have to spit out blood for me!

In the end, Wang Gui left with a dark face, and Wang Chenggong did not stay. No one except Tiger Village would be happy with today's result.

Liu Chen felt extremely comfortable. In fact, not only the village, but even the county town did not have enough drinking water. Today, he came here at the county magistrate's request. Thinking about the tens of thousands of people in the county town, forty copper coins per person, the total is 400 taels. , plus those in the village, each person is 950 copper coins, which is nearly one tael. There are a total of 5 people in his family, which is nearly five taels of silver!Coupled with the manpower and material resources for transporting water, it would be incredible for him to get a little bit of it from it!

Thinking of him as a dignified teacher, he should have had a lot of bribes, but who knows that the county magistrate is extremely greedy and stingy, his salary is always one or two cents less, and he dare not take all the filial piety he receives. He works in the yamen , and can’t be too shabby, dressing up and socializing with people will inevitably ask for money. Over time, not only can he not give money to his family, but he also needs to get money from his family. This is why he is already a master, so he still treats Liu Liu An can give him money if he cares about An's affairs so much!

The more Liu Chen thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't wait to go to Liu An's house. The two of them were greedy people, and they hit it off right away.Liu Chen rushed back early the next morning, and Liu An called Liu Bigui for dinner at noon. When he told him about it, Liu Bigui's heart beat. Although the Yongchun River was not short of water, so many people came here to fetch water. Is it really not exhausting?

Seeing Liu Bigui's embarrassing look, Liu An was upset, and he knocked on the table loudly, "Why, you became the village chief, so you don't care about what my uncle said?"
