The most favored princess in the imperial harem, the delicate little princess of Emperor Kangxi

Harigana quietly approached Kangxi and asked in a low voice in his ear.

Isn’t it tiring to carry water manually?

There is a river not far away. Why not use a waterwheel for irrigation?

Kangxi smiled, he was indeed a child who grew up on the grassland.

"I'll find you a book when we get back. Can you take a look at it?"

Not much is explained. There is not much knowledge involved, but it cannot be explained in a few words.

Most importantly, he wanted Harigana to read more useful books and stop reading the picture book that Dulan bought for her all the time.

Kangxi would never admit that he was jealous, he just wanted Hariganado to learn some new knowledge.

"Okay!"

Not knowing what Kangxi was thinking, he agreed readily.

Several people followed the village chief, stopping and walking, and soon they arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"When autumn comes, there are wild boars on this mountain, so the people in our village worked together to dig a long pit.

"Whether it's a wild boar or other ferocious beast on the mountain, if they dare to come down the mountain, they will definitely fall into this place."

The village chief's face was full of pride. It was the scholar among them who thought of it. Although it was very difficult to dig the pit at that time, a wild boar came out after a few days.

Fortunately, the pit was dug in time, and the wild boar just ran around in it. The villagers took out bows and arrows and shot it for a long time before killing it.

Everyone shared the meat and enjoyed the benefits, and no one criticized his decision anymore.

Kangxi nodded. This effect was indeed very good. It could not only resist the attacks of wild beasts, but also buy some time to escape if there was a flash flood on the mountain.

There is also stored rainwater, which makes it very convenient to irrigate the fields. There is no need to queue up for well water or rely on the river water in the distance.

"Very good! Didn't you report this idea to the local officials? Did they adopt it?"

The village chief glanced at Kangxi and sighed, "This method was thought up by our village scholar Gong. He thought it was really useful, so he wrote a letter to the town officials. It's been almost two years, and there is no news at all.

However, the villages of several of Xiucaigong's classmates are also nearby. He said that several villages have already started digging as advised.

This gentleman may not know that our Lijia Village is a big village with many strong laborers.

Some villages have few strong laborers, and farming is very hard work, so who has the time to dig this!"

After Harigana's consolation yesterday, Kangxi was not very angry, but was just very disappointed with those officials.

"Our master knows an official. When he returns, he will write a letter to the court and will give your village a reward.

If the Emperor knew about this good thing that benefits the people, how could he remain indifferent? "

Harigana understood Kangxi, and then he explained to the village chief Li with a chuckle.

Li Dequan also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, the emperor loves his people like his own children. When the time comes, he will definitely reward your village."

The village chief's eyes lit up. If it was a reward from the emperor, wouldn't their village become a village related to the emperor?

Marriages here will be much better in the future. It is better for girls to find a good husband.

"I thank this gentleman!"

He turned around and saluted in the direction of Kangxi, his face full of excitement.

“It’s just a small effort, all for the people.

Don't worry, someone will contact you within three days."

The village chief nodded repeatedly and promised not to hide any selfish motives.

"Is that scholar in the village?"

Anyone who can come up with such a method must be no simple person.

If he has a good character, he will become a good official who puts the people first in the future.

"Yes, yes, I'll take you there right away."

After walking for half a cup of tea, the few of them found the scholar in a field. He looked handsome and not as frail a scholar as described in the picture book. He looked very strong.

Knowing that they came to get the ravines, he did not feel proud, but only said that since they had learned knowledge, they should use it to protect the people.

If this little cleverness can reduce the suffering of the people, then his purpose will be achieved.

"Young man, that's right. We will definitely meet in the future."

Kangxi said this with a smile, and Li Dequan sighed in his heart that as long as this person doesn't do anything rash, good days are yet to come.

Not to mention rapid advancement, but it's countless times better than what ordinary people are doing.

He turned around and said a few words to the young eunuch beside him, then stood aside with Du Lan without saying anything more.

After Kangxi finished speaking, he took Harigana and turned away, then walked around nearby.

Two days later, Village Chief Li did receive the reward, and the scholar also received one hundred taels of silver.

After receiving the reward, he sent the official away and immediately called the whole village together to distribute the reward money from the court to every household.

However, those who contribute more will get more, and those who contribute less will get less.

It won't cause any complaints from the villagers, it's very fair.

It was not until the scholar saw Kangxi at the palace examination two years later that he understood why the reward came so quickly.

"Jiaojiao, what do you want to eat for lunch? Let's go back and eat, or should we ask someone to go into the woods and get some food so I can grill it for you?"

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Kangxi could have just eaten some dry food, but he couldn't let Harigana down.

“I want to eat fish!”

The fish that Kangxi grilled before was indeed delicious. There is a river not far away, so there should be fish.

"Okay! I'll go catch some fish, and you collect some firewood. I'll grill some for you."

The division of labor was clear. After the firewood was collected, Kangxi also caught a few fish.

"Xuanye, life in the countryside may be hard, but it's free."

Sitting beside Kangxi, he tilted his head and looked at him: "It's a pity that I am an idiot in life. If I really lived like this, I would probably starve to death."

Kangxi chuckled, reached out and touched the tip of her nose, then looked at the black color on it and immediately turned his head to fiddle with the fish in his hand.

"As long as I'm here, what are you afraid of?"

I held back my laughter and didn't dare to continue talking after I finished speaking, for fear that I would laugh out loud.

"That's right, I'm responsible for looking beautiful, and you're responsible for making money to support the family."

Du Lan happened to hear this when she came over, and the bowl of water she was holding almost fell to the ground.

She is very beautiful, but there is something wrong with the gray look on her face and the way she said this.

"Ma'am, have a drink of water."

Harigana took the water and drank two sips.

Just looking at the tip of her nose in the bowl of water, she finally realized why Kangxi and Dulan were looking at her with a half-smile.

"Aisin-Gioro Xuanye!"

He said this with gritted teeth and wiped it with the handkerchief in his hand.

Kangxi laughed out loud, but he didn't dare to move because he had fish in his hands and was afraid of burning it.

Dulan took the bowl of water and ran away. This place was not suitable for her to stay in and she might get hurt accidentally.

"Jiaojiao, I really didn't mean it!"

Harigana doesn't believe it. Even if it wasn't intentional, didn't he remind himself?

Looking at the firewood beside him, he quietly reached out his hand.
