Chapter 16 Sihu
Hu Yunxue nodded to Li Ji, and said: "My lord is right, Xiao Mo really thought of a way, that's why I asked the minnv to invite my lord!"

Li Ji was quite surprised when he heard the words, so he said to Lin Chong: "Bing Kun, it seems that the person you recommended is really talented and learned, and he can even solve such problems!"

Hearing what Li Ji said, he seemed to value Xiao Mo very much. Lin Chong was also happy that he could solve the drought. To solve the drought in the three towns, I hope that the adults will support Ziheng a lot!"

Li Ji listened, nodded and said: "What Bing Kun said is reasonable, if Ziheng can really solve the drought in these three towns, this official will make the decision and give Ziheng the position of household secretary in Shen County!"

This is to make Xiao Mo the Sihu of Shen County, that is, an official position in charge of houses and properties in Shen County. Although he has no rank and can only be regarded as a small official, he is still an official.

Hearing Li Ji's words, both Lin Chong and Hu Yunxue were happy for Xiao Mo, but Li Ji said: "But before that, there is one more thing to solve!"

Li Ji's words made Hu Yunxue and Lin Chong a little confused. Of course, Hu Yunxue was not easy to ask, but Lin Chong asked, "My lord, what else is there?"

Li Jidao: "Speaking of it, it can be regarded as a good thing that I have done. If it can be done, he will thank me in the future. As for what, it needs to be kept secret now!"

Seeing that Li Ji didn't want to speak out, and Lin Chong didn't want to ask, so everyone planned to leave for Feishui.

Shen County has been in drought for three years, and many people are helpless in the face of the drought in the three towns. Suddenly they heard that someone thought of a way to divert Feishui. Lu Lu and Du Teng also became curious and followed Li Ji to the river.

Walking halfway, in a valley, I saw Xiao Mo getting out of the wheelchair with the support of Zhou Kui from a distance, looking carefully at some rocks, when Li Ji saw it, he stopped and looked at Du Teng and Lu Lu said: "That person is Xiao Mo, Xiao Ziheng, he came up with this drainage method!"

After introducing Du and Lu, Li Ji and others came to Xiao Mo. Xiao Mo had already seen Li Ji, and when they approached, he saluted and said, "Student Xiao Mo, I have met Mr. Li. and gentlemen!"

Li Ji nodded and asked, "I heard that Ziheng thought of a way to build a windmill, why did he come here?"

Xiao Mo pointed to the iron ore on the ground and asked, "Does your lord recognize this object?"

Not only Li Ji, Xiao Mo also handed a palm-sized ore to Du Teng, Lin Chong and the others. Everyone looked at the ore and shook their heads. Only Du Teng said, "Is this the iron mother stone?"

Iron mother stone means iron ore, Xiao Mo nodded, smiled and said to Li Ji: "My lord, this is the material for building water windmills, but it needs to be smelted a little bit, besides, the amount of steel used to build windmills is large, so I'm afraid it will take a little more work..."

Afraid that Li Ji would not understand, Xiao Mo simply stated his thoughts in detail: "First of all, this valley and the mountain behind, I am afraid that there are many such iron ore, also known as iron mother Stone, these stones contain a lot of iron, I believe there must be craftsmen who are good at smelting iron and steel in the county, the adults can gather them to mine here, and then smelt the steel according to Xiao Mo's pattern, but in this case, it will take To build a blast furnace in Changle Town and raise the drum row, if the construction period is tight, it is estimated that the steel can be prepared in two months, and then sent to the carpenter for reinforcement with hardwood. In the end, the time to make the windmill is estimated to be four In about a month, the river will be able to attract water..."

"Four months?" Li Ji heard the words and said, "Isn't it at the end of summer that the first season's rice can't be planted?"

Xiao Mo nodded and said, "This is probably the fastest!"

It would take four months at the earliest, and Li Ji felt troubled when he heard this sentence.

Shen County is short of grain, originally Li Ji thought that Xiao Mo solved the problem of water source, so that the people in the three towns could plant early rice, in that case, taking out the grain in Fengping warehouse could also help Shen County through the spring planting first During the period until the summer harvest, but now that the water source problem has been solved, we have to wait until the autumn harvest to harvest the grain. As far as the grain in Shen County is concerned, of course it will not be able to support that time.

Li Ji once said before that if he could solve the problem of water sources, he would risk the world's displeasure and force food from the wealthy households in the county, but that was just talk, and if he really wanted to attack those wealthy households, Li Ji was still a little unwilling in his heart.

After all, among the wealthy households in Shen County, some of them have connections with officials in the state capital, and it is because of this that those wealthy households dare to hoard grain, raise grain prices, and seek huge profits during the severe drought in Shen County!

If Li Ji really broke his face with them, maybe Li Ji could get some benefits from these vampires, and in the end, even his own father would have to pay for it.

So Li Ji hesitated, but these were Li Ji's thoughts, of course Xiao Mo and others didn't know.

Li Ji still didn't give up, so he asked Xiao Mo: "Can't we hurry up and bring the river water in time for the spring planting season?"

Xiao Mo shook his head, seeing Li Ji's distressed face, he said: "I don't know what your lord is worried about, can you tell Xiao Mo, maybe there will be a solution!"

If Xiao Mo asked this question at Xiao's house last night, Li Ji would definitely not pay attention to Xiao Mo, but now that Xiao Mo asked this question, a thought suddenly flashed in Li Ji's mind.

Since Xiao Mo can solve the problem of drainage, maybe he really has a way to solve the problem of food shortage. Thinking of this, Li Ji said to Xiao Mo: "It's not a big deal, but there is a problem right now, what Ziheng said I don’t know anything about the windmill, so I’m afraid that Ziheng will still need to lead the work on the windmill, I don’t know what Ziheng thinks?”

It is of course certain that Xiao Mo will supervise the construction of the windmill. Even if Li Ji doesn't say anything, Xiao Mo dare not call out the supervisor's position. The people in the three towns of the county can't grow food without water, so the crime is serious.

So Xiao Mo agreed without hesitation. Seeing Xiao Mo's straightforwardness, Li Ji smiled and said: "Ziheng is really a righteous man. He has made such a great contribution, and it is difficult to convince the public if he does not reward him. The county thinks that if Ziheng is to take over the position of the sihu, I don't know what Ziheng thinks?"

Li Ji's words sounded like he was asking for Xiao Mo's own opinion, but it was in an unquestionable tone. Of course, Xiao Mo couldn't refuse, but he also said: "I'm afraid Xiao Mo is too young to learn potential, so he can't take such a big responsibility." !"

Xiao Mo couldn't express his refusal, so Xiao Mo had no choice but to say this. Li Ji listened, but smiled and said: "Ziheng is too modest, I believe in Ziheng, and I also believe in my own vision. It's up to people, don't be this Sihu, Ziheng How can you know that you can't be a great leader?"

The meaning in Li Ji's words is not only praise, but also encouragement to Xiao Mo. It can be seen that he is really satisfied with Xiao Mo in his heart. When it comes to this point, Xiao Mo doesn't know how to praise if he doesn't agree, but still There is one thing that Xiao Mo has to bring up.

That is, his illness was not cured. Hearing Xiao Mo mentioned his illness, Li Ji also expressed his understanding, but it was only understanding.

Li Ji said: "Currently, the county is in crisis, so Ziheng is more fortunate. It's not that he still has a wheelchair. At that time, I will send Ziheng an attendant!"

Hearing this, Xiao Mo rolled his eyes at Li Ji secretly. It seems that Li Ji is relying on him. He has already taken the seat of Shen County Sihu. Pointing to Zhou Kui, he said, "Then, sir, please transfer Brother Zhou to Xiao Mo, okay?"

"Him?" Li Ji looked at Zhou Kui, and then said with a smile, "Zi Heng has a good eye, and he will pass the most courageous of my attendants at once, that's all, since Zi Heng has opened his mouth, let him follow in the future." You are!"

After finishing speaking, Li Ji said to Du Teng and Lu Lu: "It's been a long time since we've been away from the county government, and it's time to go back. Let's leave now while it's still early!"

Du Teng and Lu Lu nodded when they heard the words, and Li Ji confessed to Xiao Mo: "The construction of the windmill can be started in a few days. I will go ahead first. At noon tomorrow, Ziheng must go to the county to talk to Xiao Mo. Handover from the old Sihu!"

The county magistrate asked, Xiao Mo had nothing to say, he couldn't say that he didn't listen to his boss because he hadn't taken office yet, so Xiao Mo had no choice but to agree!

　Xiao Mo is going to be an official, although he is only a small official with no rank, and he has not been appointed by the court, but he can still be regarded as an official...
