Chapter 155 The Water is Full

Chen Fa still remembers what Lu Yuan said.

"As officials of the North City, are you willing to do something for the people of the North City?"

Chen Fa knew very well how miserable life would be in the North City without water. Several of his neighbors' pregnant women had babies who died.

If this continues, there may be no North City.

Because everyone in the North City is going to die.

No, maybe the Wang family is the only one left in North City.
Chen Fa knew that Lu Yuan's methods were not fair.

But Lu Yuan's water is provided free of charge to the people of North City.

Lu Yuan really wanted to dig a well.

What's more, he had used Lu Yuan's water yesterday to fill up the water tanks at home.

He looked at his wife and son, and was finally able to drink enough water in one go.

He felt sad.

It was for this reason that Chen Fa once tactfully reminded Lu Yuan that there were spies from the Wang family in the government office.

But Lu Yuan still used people from the yamen.

And he spoke directly to everyone.

If something happens, we can just say that it was all Lu Yuan's fault.

This is what Lu Yuan promised everyone.

He wants to ensure that all the people in the north city no longer have to worry about water shortage.

Chen Fa also wanted to see which heartless person would leak the news.

On the surface, he is also a member of the Wang family.

But he didn't want to be a running dog.

His wife and children were pointed at whenever they went out.

It was not until Lu Yuan came here that he started asking people to build a house for him.

He knew that his neighbors were having a hard time, so he called all of them over.

There is no wages, but there is water to drink and food to eat.

The food we had at noon turned out to be real meat.

This made these people very happy.

It wasn’t much, just two pieces of meat per person, but it was enough to make these people happy for half a day.

Moreover, Chen Fa had also eaten the vegetables, which were fried with plenty of oil. Normal people would not be willing to use so much oil.

For dinner, we had stir-fried pork with pickles and another vegetable, which was sweet potato leaves.

Two dishes, and white rice with some sweet potatoes mixed in.

But they all have a special fragrance.

Everyone also had a fragrant roasted sweet potato, which was particularly sweet and tasted great.

It's big.

The small ones are specially picked out and added to the rice to cook.

Many people picked up the unwanted sweet potato peels and took them home.

Wash it clean and cook it to satisfy your stomach.

Each person had a bag full of rice bran and a bucket of water.

Everyone has to thank Chen Fa.

Those who usually treated Chen Fa in a sarcastic way are now all smiling and thanking Chen Fa from the bottom of their hearts.

No matter what Lu Yuan was thinking, at least he ensured that most of the people in North City had enough food to eat.

Moreover, there are many kinds of things in Lu Yuan’s shop, and the candies are not expensive.

His wife was reluctant to spend the money he had before.

But today is different. All this money was earned by him working hard and carrying water all night.

It's his hard-earned money, it's clean.

What's more, Lu Yuan actually set an example by carrying water himself.

Completely different from the noble gentlemen he had met before.

He remembered that yesterday, Lu Yuan had been sitting on the chair looking very tired.

At that time, he was still sighing that people in the capital were really different and they felt tired even just sitting.

It turned out that all the water he had fetched last night was from someone he had asked.

No wonder the day looks so tiring.

Chen Fa was actually tired too.

But he saw Lu Yuan working hard to fetch water. He couldn't be worse than a weak scholar.

As buckets and tanks of water slowly filled the pond.

The pride in their hearts is unparalleled.

But little did people know that Lu Yuan was also tired.

But he saw Xu Qiuyue always carrying a full tank of water every time.

Xu Qiuyue, a woman, has made it through it, so he, a man, can't just complain of being tired and quit!

Lu Yuan thought to himself, why doesn’t Xu Qiuyue feel tired at all?
But after seeing the pond was really filled with water.

Lu Yuan discovered that human power can actually do a lot of things.

Xu Qiuyue went back to rest.

Lu Yuan was a little sleepy, but he still wanted to stay and encourage those who had been busy all night.

I have been busy for half the night.

These people have to go to work when daybreak comes.

The promised reward must not be less.

What's more, these people really work hard and don't slack off.

Lu Yuan thought about it and gave each person an extra bag of snacks.

Anyway, the dim sum made by the dim sum shop was not sold out overnight.

The snacks were a bit dry because there was no water.

So not many people buy snacks.

“From now on, we should not go to the well to fetch water. Yesterday, there were so many people lining up that they couldn’t get all the water in a whole day.

From then on, every night, everyone would fill their own water tanks with water.

The saliva is too deep, it is not easy to dig further. We can dig out a small lake later. I don’t believe that we can keep digging and not find any water.

Today, everyone should have a good rest, change clothes, and then go to the county government office to sleep. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if the Dianshi and Changshi found that no one was there. "

The bailiffs left happily.

Lu Yuan's guards also went to rest.

Lu Yuan originally didn't want Xingzhu to bring the maids from the mansion with him.

But no one really uses it.

The guards were very tired after working all night.

He was so tired that his arms felt like they were not his own and his whole body was numb.

Lu Yuan admired Xu Qiuyue a little. He didn't know how Xu Qiuyue managed to do all this by herself.

The key point is that Xu Qiuyue is still very energetic.

I slept for less than an hour and then got up.

Then she went out with the maid.

Seeing that Xu Qiuyue was already up, Lu Yuan could only change his clothes and go out for a walk.

There is no way, there are too many things to do.

Stealing Wang’s water, first of all, there is no way to cover up this matter.

But this is not right, so we must not be too arrogant in public.

Otherwise, if we can’t distinguish between right and wrong, how can we govern the North City?

So the fundamental problem still needs to be solved, which is to filter the seawater.

Let the people at least be able to afford water.

You can take a good hot bath, otherwise you will stink and affect the appearance of North City.

Then comes the construction of toilets.

Otherwise, the streets and alleys would be filled with a foul smell.

Lu Yuan couldn't stand the smell.

It is definitely not possible to ask these ordinary people to collect feces on their own initiative.

So Lu Yuan also wanted to promote that these feces are good things and can be used to fertilize the fields.

So he also needs to buy a few plots of land to grow some vegetables and the staple food sweet potatoes.

Lu Yuan has too many things to do all day long.

The basis for him to save money is that it should not affect his own life.

To be honest, Lu Yuan felt that he had never had such a bad life in his life except when he was in prison.

Lu Yuan has to use the people in the county government even if he doesn't want to, otherwise he really has no one to use him.

Otherwise where can we find so many people to do the work?
