The sudden sound immediately extinguished some small flames that had just emerged from Yue Yang's heart, and at the same time scared the Linglong sisters to the point of being frightened by the frightened rabbits. Yuling also whispered, "Young Master, Ling'er, go open the door for Shunbao."

More than ten minutes later, Yue Yang, who had already changed into clean clothes, followed Shunbao to the living room in the old lady's courtyard.

After Yueyang came in, he saw the old lady sitting on the front seat of the living room, and the butler Yue Laifu stood at the bottom, Hu Laosan, the guard of Yuejiazhuang, and several managers of Yuejiazhuang, were standing on both sides, but everyone's faces were all gloomy and ugly.

Yue Yang walked into the living room, greeted everyone, and sat down next to the old lady, then asked curiously: "Grandma, Butler Yue, everyone, what happened? Why do everyone's faces look so ugly!"

Seeing Yue Yang come in, the old lady's originally gloomy face relaxed a little, and she barely squeezed out a smile, "Sunny, you are here. If you are not here these days, you have worried grandma to death. How about it, have you taken back the things?"

"Grandma, don't worry, you've got all the things back and everything goes well." Yue Yang, who had just woken up after a busy night, was already so hungry that he had already sat down. After sitting down, he picked up the snacks on the table and swallowed them in his mouth in a few bites. After ate three pieces of snacks in a row, he felt a little stuff in his stomach and then picked up the teapot and poured them into his stomach. His hungry ghost-like appearance made the old lady feel distressed and kept urging him to eat slowly.

After eating a few snacks, Yueyang felt that his originally empty stomach was much better, so he cheered up and asked, "Okay, grandma, the weather is almost dark. You even called everyone to tell me what's wrong, right?"

The old lady sighed lightly, "Sun, you have grown up, and it is time to take on the burden of the Yue family. You can take a look at this one first." After that, the old lady handed a "famous post" on the table to Yueyang.

Yue Yang curiously took the famous post and read it. The famous posts of this era are like business cards from later generations, but they are much larger than business cards. Just like the famous post is bright red in color, seven inches long and three inches wide. There are three little boys as big as a little finger in the upper right corner of the post, and the middle is written in large characters: "On June 15th, I hope the head of the Yue family will go to the prefect of Yingzhou Prefecture to talk."

Seeing this, Yue Yang frowned. There were some specialties in ancient famous posts. Generally, the name of the poster should be written all over the entire post. If you hand it to an elder or boss, the name written on the "famous post" should be large, the name on the "famous post" is large, and the name on the "famous post" is large to express humility, and the name on the "famous post" is small to be regarded as arrogant. This prefect Zheng wrote his name so small but the things he said are so large, which obviously does not take Yuejiazhuang seriously.

Yue Yang frowned, "Grandma, isn't Zheng Fakui the magistrate of our Yingzhou City? How could he give us a famous post to the prefectural office tomorrow to discuss matters? What kind of thing is he going to do?"

"What else can it be?" the old lady sighed and said, "He just saw that there is no one in our Yuejiazhuang who can make decisions now, and the Wang family and the Lin family are eyeing our Sanggan River, and they all want to bite a piece of meat from us."

Yueyang frowned when he heard this: "So, those three families are still unwilling to give up on Sanggan River and want to dig a canal to divert water?"

Yue Laifu, who was standing beside him, also said bitterly: "That's natural. At present, the four rivers in Yingzhou, except for the Sanggan River, Hunhe River, Huangshui River, and Papaya River are almost all cut off. If there is no water, their harvest this year will be ruined. They can't bear it, so they can't bear it! A few days ago, the Wang family was the leader, and I guess even the Li family and the Lin family can't help it now!"

Hu Laosan, who was standing beside him, snorted: "But if they were asked to open the canal and divert water, it would be our turn to waste our summer grain!"

Yue Yang took a deep breath. At this time, he also understood why the Wang family would use any means to grab water two days ago. The Wang family seemed to be unable to hold on. If there was no water to irrigate the land, there would definitely be no hope for the summer grain this year, and the consequences were that they could not bear. When things got to this point, it would be useless to tell them any truth.

Yue Yang thought for a while and said to the old lady: "Grandma, let me go to this appointment tomorrow!"

"What? Are you going?" The old lady was slightly startled, then nodded slowly: "Yes, grandson, you have grown up, it's time to take on the burden of the family. But grandma wants to tell you that after you go tomorrow, you will face the joint threats of the Wang family, the Lin family and the Li family, and even the prefect Zheng may even stand on their side! Grandma wants to know, how do you deal with these greedy guys?"

After the old lady finished speaking, Yue Laifu, Hu Laosan and several housekeepers also looked at Yueyang. They all wanted to know how the only head of the Yue family dealt with the crisis. This is a dilemma. If the Yue family is rejected, they will inevitably be suppressed by the other three families and the government. If they agree, the river that is not much insured in the Sanggan River will definitely not be enough for everyone to share it together. In this way, Wulizhai’s summer grain this year will definitely be affected, and no matter what choice it makes, Wulizhai will suffer losses.

However, something unexpected happened to everyone. Yue Yang smiled slightly and said indifferently: "Grandma, what is the difficult choice? Since the Wang family, Lin family and Li family want to dig a canal in the Sanggan River to dig water, let them dig it. Why should we refuse?"

"What?"

As soon as Yue Yang said this, not only the people around him, but also the old lady made a surprised voice.

"Grandson, can you tell grandma the reason? Do you know what the consequences of doing so?"

"What's wrong with this?" Yue Yang smiled. Isn't it just a lack of water? If he had no choice two days ago, now...

"Grandma, don't worry about this. My grandson not only brought back the seeds you mentioned two days ago, but also brought back a good thing. With this kind of thing, we will no longer have to worry about the lack of water in the future!"

"Oh, there is such a good thing?" As soon as Yue Yang said, everyone in the living room peeked at each other, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Yue Yang also knew what everyone was thinking, but he didn't plan to say it out loud, thinking that after a while they would know what a miracle was...

Seeing Yueyang's confident look, the old lady muttered in her heart, but out of trust in her grandson, she chose to believe Yueyang. After everyone discussed the matter for a while, the old lady asked everyone to go back.

Early the next morning, Yueyang took Shunbao, Hu Laosan and more than a dozen servants to ride towards Yingzhou City. At noon, everyone saw the gate of Yingzhou City.

To be honest, this is the first time Yueyang has seen a city with a complete city wall after coming to this time and space. The walls of Yingzhou City are 26:7 miles in circumference, and the city wall is two meters high, and there are some soldiers patrolling on it. When Yueyang and his group approached the city gate, they found a large basket on the right side of the city gate, and the people entering the city would consciously no one throws a copper coin in the king's basket. Next to the basket were two men wearing long green gowns, which seemed to be tax collectors who entered the city.

On both sides of the city wall, more than a dozen soldiers wearing tattered red mandarin duck battle jackets leaned lazily on the city wall with long spears, staring listlessly at the passing pedestrians, and from time to time, there were still people yawning.

Seeing the appearance of the people entering the city and the soldiers at the gate, Yueyang couldn't help but frown. Originally, he thought that the tenants in Wuli Village were not living well because Wuli Village was in the countryside after all, but now he saw that even the people in Dazhou City, like Yingzhou City, were not living well.

However, Yueyang was not very sure. However, when Shunbao paid the entrance fee, everyone entered the city and saw a commoner who was still dressed in rags and had a good face on the street. His mood began to gradually become heavier. It seems that there was no reason for the rapid demise of the late Ming Dynasty in history...
