Chapter 11 Feishui
In fact, Li Ji is not a stupid person. Judging from the conclusion that Xiao's mother, Meng Qiuxiang, tore up the marriage certificate just now, I know that Li Ji is an official with real talents and knowledge. What outstanding political achievements, probably also have something to do with Li Zhun's dismissal.

To put it bluntly, Li Ji has been keeping a low profile!After his father Li Zhun was dismissed from office, Li Ji kept forbearing.

Although the peace negotiation is the emperor's intention, it is impossible for the emperor to bear such a reputation, so Li Zhun, as the prime minister, took the responsibility for the peace negotiation. , but in the emperor's heart, he is still very grateful to Li Zhun.

So after Li Zhun was dismissed from office, he kept a low profile and returned to his hometown in Jiangning, and Li Ji was the same. Because he was serving outside, he was just a small official, so he was able to survive the storm of this peace negotiation for several years.

As for the matter of Li Zhun and Li Ji's father and son, Xiao Mo only combined the previous memories of this body and some rumors about Li Zhun.

As the parent officer of Shen County, the students of Shen County will of course have a lot of evaluation and investigation of Li Ji. Xiao Mo was also one of the students before he got sick, so he also has some understanding of Li Ji.

Of course, from Xiao Mo's current perspective, Li Ji is somewhat different from the Li Ji in his memory.

Dazhi Ruoyu is talking about people like Li Ji!
And Li Ji's next words also confirmed Xiao Mo's evaluation of him, Li Ji said: "Could it be that Ziheng can pinch and count, and he actually knows what I'm thinking?"

He neither affirmed Xiao Mo's words nor denied them, but after vaguely expressing his own meaning, he kicked the question to Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo knew that Li Ji was doubting his ability, and he was not sure if he could solve the drought in the three towns of Shen County.

In fact, after Xiao Mo came to Anchao, after a certain understanding, he also thought deeply about the current problems in Shen County. With Xiao Mo's thinking, it is certainly impossible to just stop at solving the drought as simple as that.

In addition to solving the drought in the three towns of Shen County, Xiao Mo also decided to take this opportunity to work hard to make full use of Shen County's resources, and then make Shen County a rich town.

Not to mention, Xiao Mo did have a lot of ideas in his heart, but because of his body, the situation in Changle Town and Shen County's difficulties from external forces, many of Xiao Mo's ideas were difficult to implement.

In addition to the severe drought, there are also difficulties from officialdom.

Luzhou is located in the upper reaches of the Qinhuai River, on the banks of the Feishui River, which is the barrier between the north and the south of the Central Plains. Xiao Mo couldn't figure it out, why the military service in Shen County would be so heavy when there was a war in the north three years ago, but he learned that Li Ji After being Li Zhun's son, Xiao Mo seemed to understand a little bit.

Officialdom is politics, and where there is politics, there are disputes. The conservative faction and the new political party are always on the opposite side of the contradiction. According to Xiao Mo's guess, it is very likely that Shen County, where Li Ji is located, was the victim of the peace talks three years ago.

It was precisely because the Son of Heaven had some peace talks, and Li Zhun stood up to support them, that caused the dissatisfaction of officials who opposed the peace talks. This is why the military service in Shen County, where Li Ji is located, is so serious.

So for the past three years, Li Ji has been sticking to his duty in Shen County. In order to protect himself, he had no choice but to bear it. He also turned a blind eye to the disaster, not seeking meritorious service, only seeking meritorious deeds.

Perhaps it was because of Li Ji's mediocrity that those officials who wanted Li Ji thought that Li Ji was really a fatuous person, so they didn't suppress him too much. That's why Li Ji was able to stay in Shen County until today without being convicted.

But Li Ji took the initiative to come out to inspect the drought this time, which was a signal.

Xiao Mo thought of this, and said to Li Ji: "My lord, the student just asks, will the three provinces be informed of the disaster in Shen County?"

The three provinces are Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province. They are the place where the imperial court handles and decides the secrets of the country's government affairs. Hearing Xiao Mo's question, Li Ji's eyes flashed a look of approval, and then said: "Last month I wrote a note, but I haven't received a reply yet!"

Xiao Mo nodded when he heard the words. This is the third year of the drought in Shen County. Li Ji has not reported to the three provinces, but he started to act last month. There must be a reason for this.

As for the reason, Xiao Mo can also guess a little bit, but he dare not say it in front of Li Ji, but since he knew that Li Ji came to inspect the drought this time, it was not just a matter of perfunctory, Xiao Mo has no scruples, and then He said his plan to divert Feishui.

Feishui runs from northwest to southeast, running through Shen County. Changle Town happens to be next to Feishui, but because Changle Town is on a higher terrain, it cannot divert the water. Since Xiao Mo wants to divert Feishui, of course he has his own ideas.

But when Xiao Mo said the diversion, a look of disappointment flashed in Li Ji's eyes, Lin Chong also sighed with some disappointment, and said to Xiao Mo: "Ziheng, you also know the situation in Changle Town. It is about three feet higher than the Feishui river bed, and the fields in the town are higher, even if ditches are dug to divert the water flowing into Changle Town, it will not help, and it cannot irrigate the fields at all."

Lin Chong was right. Originally relying on Feishui, no matter how dry it was, it was impossible for Changle Town to fall into the current situation. However, because of the terrain, Changle Town simply relied on the water source but could not quench its thirst.

Originally, Xiao Mo thought of the story of the crow drinking water. Even the crow knew that he could put stones in the bottle to raise the water level, so that he could drink water, so he planned to build a dam in Feishui to block the water level of Feishui to a certain level. Altitude, then shunt.

But it suddenly occurred to me that this is ancient times, there is no such thing as cement and steel bars, not to mention building a dam, just want to cut off the flow of Feishui, it is not a small project, it is his own idea Li Ji agreed, but now With the ability of Shen County, wanting to build a dam is tantamount to nonsense.

As a result, Xiao Mo was also stumped, and he was unfavorable. He didn't expect that his first suggestion would be rejected by Lin Chong and Li Ji, and Li Ji also had doubts about his ability.

Damn, I've been messing around for a long time, and my idea is actually bullshit!
Xiao Mo complained, and then secretly cursed God for bringing him to such a place, not to mention the serious feudal thinking of the people here, even the supplies are very poor, and it is so difficult to build a dam.

Seeing Xiao Mo's frown, Li Ji laughed instead, and said to Lin Chong: "For these years, everyone in Shen County, including me, has been helpless against the drought, not to mention that Ziheng has been sick for a long time and hasn't gone out for three years. It's only natural that we can't think of a solution! This time, it seems that we have taken the liberty! Why don't we let Ziheng cultivate himself, and let's say goodbye first!"

Li Ji's easy-going words and smiling face made Xiao Mo feel a bit of kindness, Xiao Mo quickly propped up the chair and planned to stand up.

Li Ji saw him, and said to Xiao Mo: "Ziheng doesn't need to see you off, why don't you let me deal with the matter of the Qiao family?"

The county magistrate opened his mouth, and given the current situation of the Xiao family, of course it was something he wished for. If a lawsuit could be avoided, it would definitely be a great kindness to the current Xiao family.

Of course the Xiao family couldn't wait for such a good thing, even Lin Chong nodded to Xiao Mo, hoping that Xiao Mo would not miss this opportunity.

But Xiao Mo shook his head to Li Ji, and said: "Sir, Qiao's family matters are small, but the drought is serious, can you please stay in Changle Town for one night, and tomorrow morning, after Xiao Mo goes to the bank of Feishui to investigate, Make another decision?"

Although Xiao Mo has a reputation as a scholar, he is still not good enough in front of Jinshi like Li Ji, but it may be due to preconceived reasons, because of his views on Xiao Mo and Meng Qiuxiang's handling of Yuniang, Li Ji thinks that Xiao's mother and son are both A kind person, so after hearing Xiao Mo's request, Li Ji agreed without hesitation.
