The spring water flows gurglingly, and at the lower end of the bamboo tube, pearl-like bubbles float. The clear water makes people want to grab a handful and drink it. </p> It¡¯s sweet. </p> Ye Yan's departure did not leave any waves except for ridiculing, and everyone's attention was all on the spring water. </p> Whether it is a white-haired old man, a dark-skinned man, or a child with a bun, almost everyone repeats this drinking action. </p> Then, everyone¡¯s eyes turned to Ye Chang standing on the rock, their eyes full of admiration. In their eyes, the young man standing on the rock seemed to be shrouded in a layer of light. </p> If it weren¡¯t for the theory of ¡°meeting an immortal¡±, everyone would probably think that Ye Chang himself was an immortal. </p> ¡°Eleventh Lang, you have saved us all, please accept our respects from all of us!¡± </p> Old man Du, the oldest man with white hair and beard, joined his hands and bowed his waist. Down, almost to the ground. Everyone also followed suit and saluted. The younger and lower-ranking children were even asked by adults to kneel on the ground and salute. </p> They have nothing to express their gratitude, that's all. </p> "Come again, prepare to make the second one." Ye Chang waved his hand, and he was not lying: "The water in one is not enough, so we need to make a double thread." </p> With the experience of the first one, the second It was easy to build a bamboo siphon. After a while, the second one also started to leak water, and the flow of the stream at the bottom of the rock increased a lot. </p> This kind of flow is probably enough for slopes and flat land under slopes. If you must save some money, you can even double the land for irrigation by using drip irrigation. </p> After wiping his sweat, Ye Chang breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the smiling faces of everyone around him, he knew in his heart that he had finally established a firm foothold in Wu Ze in this era. </p> After that, no one would suspect him if he behaved unusually, and it would be easier to ask for help. </p> "Eleventh Lang." A voice rang. </p> Ye Chang followed his reputation and found out that it was Ye Dan, the clan leader. Ye Dan, who stood with his hands behind his back, had a strange look in his eyes, showing appreciation, reluctance, and a bit of jealousy. </p> ¡°I¡¯ve met the clan leader.¡± Ye Chang saluted. </p> "Well doneWell done, come to my house after you return to the village." Ye Dan said, turned around and left. </p> He looked calm, but inside he was like a storm. </p> Ye Chang actually did it! </p> With the help of more than 20 or 30 households not named Ye, and only a few hundred coins of moso bamboo, he actually completed the task of diverting water to two miles away in just three or four days. Task! </p> If it is not divine help, how can we explain it? </p> If it were just an immortal¡¯s advice, Ye Dan would not be so excited, because an immortal¡¯s advice can only take care of a moment, but not a lifetime. What made Ye Dan even more impressed by his grandnephew was the organizational ability he displayed throughout the process. </p> Under Ye Chang¡¯s organization, the scattered neighbors acted like an army. </p> With such ability, sooner or later, Ye Dan will be able to succeed. Ye Dan is not Ye Miao, and has no direct interest entanglement with Ye Chang. On the contrary, from the height of the entire Ye family, Ye Dan hopes that the younger members of the family can There are many talents. Anyway, no matter how outstanding the junior is, it cannot change the status of his room as the eldest room. </p> ¡°Eleventh Lang is amazing, I told you already!¡± Before he could walk far, he heard the cheers of the girl. </p> But it was Fang who led Xiang'er to see the excitement. Not only them, but almost all the residents of Wu Ze came over to see this project that was a miracle for them. Xiang'er was naturally the happiest, jumping, shouting, and chirping in the crowd, but her words were poor and she could only use "terrific" and "just good" over and over again. Ye Chang blushed a little when he heard this, thinking that he should teach this little girl something, so that she would not even know how to praise others. It is terrible to be uneducated. </p> The people who were digging the diversion canal with Ye Chang gathered around Ye Chang one by one. The expressions on their faces were one of joy and pride, and they were happy to be part of this miraculous project. Seeing that none of them spoke, Ye Chang immediately understood that the water diversion was not finished yet, they were still waiting to distribute the water source themselves. </p> "Here comes the paper!" Ye Chang said. </p> No response. </p> "Uh, Xiang'er, Xiang'er?" Ye Chang turned around, and the little girl who was circling him just now disappeared without knowing where he was. </p> Xiang'er ran to the crowd over there to praise Ye Chang. Only when the crowd laughed in good faith did she realize that Ye Chang was calling her. With a pair of big black and white eyes open, he ran back with a baffled look on his face: "Shishilang, what's the matter?"The one who ordered Nunu? "</p> The little girl called herself "Nu Nu" in a sweet and waxy voice, which made Ye Chang's heart itch and almost melt. He held up his hand: "Here comes the paper! ¡±</p> ¡°Ahyes, it¡¯s in Nunu¡¯s bag!¡± ¡±</p> Xiang¡¯er took out a stack of paper from the bag on his shoulder. In this era, papermaking technology had not yet been improved, so the paper was expensive. At this time, the famous calligrapher Seng Huaisu could not afford the paper to practice calligraphy. , they can only plant banana trees and use their leaves as paper. Therefore, Xiang'er takes this stack of paper very seriously and is careful when taking it out. </p> "The words on the paper are written by Ye Chang with charcoal pen." /p> Ye Chang has practiced calligraphy for a period of time, and he has copied it from Han Li, Wei Bei, Yan Liusu, Huang Mi and Cai. Although he is very skilled in craftsmanship, he is still relatively slow at writing calligraphy. Therefore, when recording the work of each group, Ye Chang used homemade charcoal pens. </p> He read out the completed work and bonus points of each group one by one. After everyone had no objections, he followed the instructions. The scores of each group were different, and the order of water sharing was determined. </p> The first one to be named immediately cheered, ran over quickly, opened the ridge of his own field, and watched the mountain spring flowing in and soaking it. The dry land almost wept with joy. </p> One family after another came and ran to wait for their turn to irrigate their fields. The ones who ordered first were naturally happy, and the ones who ordered later were also happy. Don't worry - because the amount of water is larger than expected, sooner or later every household will be able to water it. </p> Each household can water for one stick of incense, and when the time is up, it will be replaced by the next household. This can ensure that the slopes are covered within one day. The nearly 300 acres of land on the farm were watered once, but Ye Chang's own ten acres were left to be watered last. This distribution left no one with anything to say, and even those who were dissatisfied would be punished. The elderly neighbor scolded you: Who told you not to work hard when digging canals to divert water? Shiyilang's family always watered it last, and you were earlier than him. Why should you be dissatisfied? </p> My own tenant planted the fields of Ye Chang's family. People came to manage the diversion of water from his fields, but Ye Chang saw that nothing happened, so he rubbed Xiang'er's hair, loosened the little girl's three-piece bun, laughed and walked back to Xiang'er. The child pouted and spat, but soon became happy again, skipping and walking beside him, sometimes picking weeds on the roadside, and sometimes chasing dancing butterflies. </p> Although it was a little hot, But the air was still very fresh. Ye Chang slightly unbuttoned his clothes and exposed half of his chest. </p> Some people were happy, while others were unhappy. Liu Gui, who was also following Ye Chang, He was one of the most unhappy people. </p> He had a melancholy look on his face and was walking hard. </p> Even his master Ye Mei ran back in disgrace, let alone him. He won't have a good life around him, but now that his identity is still in Ye Chang's hands, how can he escape? </p> If that's not possible, he can only become a runaway slave </p> But Datang According to the law, escaped slaves will be severely punished. He grew up in the Liu family, and later went to the Ye family as a dowry boy. Where can he escape to? </p> Thinking of this, he looked at Ye Chang with resentment. ¡¯s back, quietly spitting at Ye Chang¡¯s back. </p> "Xiang'er, I'll go to the clan leader's house first, and you can prepare some food." After entering the village, Ye Chang ordered: "Liu Gui, chop the firewood at home."</p> He responded happily, but Liu Gui's response was weak. After Ye Chang turned to the road leading to the clan leader's house, Liu Gui rolled his eyes and followed Xiang'er for a while. When Xiang'er wasn't paying attention, he immediately turned to the other side. </p> The person he turned to was the home of Changzhi, the third-bedroom owner. </p> The Sanfang Changzhi is much more impressive than the other two. The Sanfangzhang's mansion is second only to the clan leader's house in the whole of Wu Ze. There were a total of eleven servants in the three rooms, and Liu Gui was originally one of them, so he went in with ease. </p> As soon as they entered the yard, they heard Ms. Liu yelling: "You old scoundrel, did you use the gold that I kept at the bottom of the box for whoring? Otherwise, why didn't you have any money left? You said you bought it at a high price. Moso bamboo, you look so shrewd on weekdays, why would you spend thirty cents a piece to buy moso bamboo?¡±</p> Interspersed with the curses, there were also two occasional cries, and of course more broomsticks. Whisping sound when moving. Liu Gui's heart skipped a beat. It was obvious that Mr. Liu was practicing family law on Ye Mei. </p> ¡°Madam, madam, I really bought moso bamboo We have been an old married couple for many years, and you still don¡¯t know about me? That little beast colluded with the moso bamboo sellers and raised the price so high. Thirty cents a piece"</p> "I have been married for so many years, and I know that you are a dog and you can't change it until you die. Why don't you take advantage of me when my money comes into your hands?" Ms. Liu? He said sharply: "If Liu Gui is still here and Liu Gui goes out with you, I will let you go.", but now it¡¯s Ye He who is going out with you. This bitch is the son of your Liu family. He has always been accustomed to you, so he must be colluding with you to deceive me! ¡±</p> Ms. Liu¡¯s guess was not wrong. Ye Mei ordered the bamboo for twenty cents each, but when he came back, he paid thirty cents for each piece. This left him with a gold ingot worth three guan. . He felt guilty in his heart, and naturally smiled on his face: "I'm kidding, what am I going to do with your money now? I only have one thing on my mind, which is how to deal with that little beast"</p > He used his blaming skills very well, and he turned Liu's target to Ye Chang. Although Ye Chang's house was not big, it was right next to their branch, and with the surrounding bases, if it were merged into Chang'an His three-in-one house can be expanded into two more courtyards, not to mention the farmland allocated to the three branches, which still has nearly twenty acres. Therefore, Mr. Liu cursed: "You surnamed Ye." There is not a good thing Whoever is poking his or her head over there, get out of here! "</p> Liu Gui was looking outside the door. When he heard the scolding, he immediately ran in and knelt in front of Mrs. Liu, and then cried loudly: "Madam, I am suffering, I am suffering. I want to return to my wife"</p> In the Tang Dynasty, servants called their mistresses, either madam or madam. Liu Gui was a son of the Liu family and came to the Ye family as a dowry servant, so he was more She was willing to call Mrs. Liu. Sure enough, Mr. Liu was about to have a fit, but he shouted in a somewhat sarcastic tone: It was she who pushed Liu Gui to Ye Chang's side. </p> And these days Liu. Being by Ye Chang's side, you have to suffer a lot! </p> "Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on that little beast? "Ye Chang, who was kneeling next to him, saw Liu Gui coming, his face turned red, he stood up and cursed.</p> "You are not ashamed, kneel down for me! "As soon as he stood up, Mrs. Liu hit him with a broom and knocked him down again.</p> "Madam, if this dog slave hadn't kept an eye on the little beast, I wouldn't have been tricked by him. The little beast ordered Liu Kun to collude with the bamboo seller, but this slave dog didn't know anything about it! "Ye Mingren was kneeling, but he said bitterly.</p> It was not uncommon in the Tang Dynasty to fear his wife like a tiger. The fierce wife of Fang Xuanling, the famous prime minister in Kaiyuan, was the origin of jealousy. Therefore, for Ye Mei knelt in front of Mr. Liu. Liu Gui was not surprised and just pretended not to see it. Hearing Ye Mei put the blame on him, Liu Gui cried and said, "It's not just a villain who doesn't care, it's really ten." Ichiro is so cunning! ¡±</p> Ye Miao shrank his neck, and these words came to his mind. He had just seen Ye Chang using the method of siphoning water with a bamboo tube, and he was already suspicious. He suspected that there was really an immortal behind Ye Chang, and now he was forced to do so. The fierce wife has no choice but to become an enemy of Ye Chang. </p> Deep in his heart, he actually wants to reconcile. </p> "Cunning Liu Gui, you disappoint me so much. "Ms. Liu didn't think so.</p> She didn't see the completion of the canal with her own eyes. In her opinion, even if Ye Chang had really met an immortal, the immortal wouldn't have much friendship with him, otherwise he would have Give him the elixir to transform him into an immortal. Moreover, women are extremely scary when they become paranoid, especially for menopausal people like Liu. She is filled with resentment and anger, and it can be said that she must get rid of Ye Chang quickly: "Liu Gui, If you have no way to deal with that little beast, just stay with the little beast and be a cow and horse for the rest of your life! "</p> Liu Gui was not willing to stay with Ye Chang. Hearing these words, he had to rack his brains. After a while, he whispered: "It's not that there is no way, that little The Eleventh Lang had never had many friends, and the only people he relied on were Shu Langjun and his brother-in-law Liu Langjun from the second branch. If the help of these two sides could be cut off, only he and the little girl Xiang'er could succeed. whats the matter? "</p> This suggestion made Ms. Liu nod her head repeatedly. Even Ye Ming also thought it was feasible.</p> "I want to go back to my parents' home, but that little beast Liu Kun dared to help the little beast deal with me. Let him know how powerful I am! Mrs. Liu stared at Ye Ming again: "Go and talk to the clan leader No, now the clan leader is also partial to the little beast. Go and tell Uncle Jiu and ask him to come out and tell the clan leader again that Ye will be killed." Shu Zhi leaves and lets him come back after the matter is settled! ¡±</p> </p> </p>
