The Rough Man and the Beautiful Wife of the Orion Miracle Doctor

Chapter 488 Let's talk first

"Otherwise, Mr. Pan, let's eat first and then we can chat after you finish eating."

Fang Jinxiu sat down on the stool opposite him. Yulian did not dare to sit directly in front of the county magistrate. Without her sister-in-law's courage, her sister-in-law would dare to joke with the magistrate.

She stood obediently behind Fang Jinxiu.

The two of them stared at Pan Zhi'an while eating. Pan Zhi'an was in an unusually good mood. Anyone else might not be able to eat if they were stared at like this.

He picked up the bowl and continued eating calmly as if these two people were not in front of him.

Fang Jinxiu didn't say anything and waited quietly for Pan Zhian to finish his meal.

In front of her, he was neither impatient nor impatient, eating slowly one bite after another.

After waiting for almost two cups of tea, Pan Zhi'an finally finished eating and asked the butler to take away the bowls and chopsticks. He stood up and made a gesture of invitation to Fang Jinxiu.

"If Madam Zong doesn't mind, let's talk in the courtyard. Men and women are different and it's not convenient for them to be in the same room."

Fang Jinxiu was ashamed, how could they be in the same room? There was Yulian beside her.

"Row."

Pan Zhian drank tea slowly and waited for her to speak.

Fang Jinxiu's eyes fell on the teapot, "I didn't expect Master Pan to be able to drink tea. It seems that the situation in Luoshui City is not as bad as I imagined."

Pan Zhian stopped drinking tea and raised his head in surprise.

"How did you know?"

There is no need for smart people to speak clearly. Fang Jinxiu opened her mouth to bring tea, and Pan Zhian knew that she already knew about the drop in the water level of the Luoshui City canal.

"When I entered the city, I took a look at the ditch. Although the changes in the water level were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, the wetness of the soil on both sides of the ditch was clearly visible."

Pan Zhian narrowed his eyes slightly, Fang Jinxiu was smarter than he thought.

"I didn't expect Mrs. Zong to be so concerned about the people's livelihood in Luoshui City. Why, do you have any way to help me solve this problem?"

Fang Jinxiu smiled and said, "There is a way."

Pan Zhian frowned, "What method?"

He said casually, no matter how smart Fang Jinxiu is, she is just a country peasant woman. What can a woman solve when the imperial officials can't solve it?But she really had her own way. Pan Zhian suppressed his surprise and planned to hear what she had to say.

"Master Pan, a commoner's wife is just an ordinary woman. She is not so sentimental as to make selfless sacrifices for the people of the city."

"If my contribution method is useful, can you agree to a condition?"

When Pan Zhi'an heard Fang Jinxiu's condition, he felt that it was indeed the case and was not surprised at all.

"Let me tell you your method first. If it's useless, why should I waste my time listening to your conditions?"

Fang Jinxiu said, "My method must be effective. The water level in the ditch has been dropping. You must be very anxious."

"There are only two ways to solve this problem. One is to solve it at the source, expand water diversion channels, and introduce more water from rivers into canals."

"Second, find ways to lock the moisture in the soil and reduce the rate of water loss in the canals."

Pan Zhijing listened quietly without interrupting.

"The first method wastes people and money. There is no end in sight for the canals in Luoshui City. You must have spent a lot of manpower and material resources digging the canals, right?"

"If it happens again, let alone how much impact it will have on the lives of the people in the city. Once the people know that the canals will be expanded, they will be able to guess that the city will start to lack water. Before the drought has caused losses, people's hearts will be in chaos. ”

“When people’s hearts are in chaos, the city will be in chaos.”

Pan Zhi'an nodded repeatedly. From being shocked at the beginning, to being dubious, and then to listening carefully to Fang Jinxiu's analysis, he had to be convinced of this woman's wisdom.

"So, we can only take the second method you mentioned to lock the moisture in the soil and slow down the loss of water sources."

“But how can we lock the moisture in the soil?”

Pan Zhian is not engaged in agriculture and has no clue about this.

Fang Jinxiu smiled and said, "Since you have asked me this question, you must be planning to listen to my terms. Are you willing to agree?"

Pan Zhian was stunned, okay, she has some skills.

"What's the condition, let's talk about it first."
