The Peerless Servant

Su Youshou's face turned pale when he heard this. He stepped forward and kicked the man in the face, knocking him unconscious. "Such a wicked slave must be severely punished." Su Youshou looked indignant and rebuked. "Granduncle, the most urgent task is for someone to take charge of the overall situation and lead the Su family through the difficulties." After punishing the evil slave, Su Youshou said with a righteous look, and Huo Chenan was impressed by his rapid change of expression. "Second Master, you are still the head of the Su family's first house. If there is anything, wait until the eldest lady wakes up before making a decision." Huo Chenan said calmly. "Why are you everywhere? You are just a small servant. What qualifications do you have to talk to me? Is this how niece Linglong disciplines servants? If she can't even manage a servant, how can she manage this family?" "How the eldest lady manages servants is the business of the first house. At least she won't use me and kick me out." Huo Chenan retorted, pointing out that the second house used servants and turned against each other on the spot. "You..." Su Youshou saw that he couldn't win the argument with this sharp-tongued little servant, so he changed the subject and said, "Now things are urgent. If you delay for a moment, the Su family will be in danger. You said you want to wait for Linglong, but I don't know how long you have to wait. Do we have to wait for a day if Linglong's illness doesn't get better?" "Within fifteen days, I will definitely be able to solve the crisis of the Su family." Huo Chenan said slowly. Su Youshou blurted out without thinking, "Fifteen days? Fifteen days will be cold. You... what did you say?" At this time, he came to his senses. This arrogant servant actually wanted to solve the crisis of the Su family in fifteen days. Everyone in the ancestral hall showed an expression of surprise. Suddenly, the Su family ancestral hall exploded, and the shouting and cursing were endless. "Extremely arrogant""Don't know what you mean""Drag him out to feed the dogs""Send him to the palace to be a eunuch""Cut off Jiji and feed him to the dogs, and then send him to the palace to be a eunuch." Su Youshou took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire and said, "You are just a small servant, why do you say such arrogant words." Huo Chenan was also helpless. The status of a servant was indeed not enough at this time. "My Su family's eldest house promised that if the eldest house could not solve the crisis of the Su family within fifteen days, Linglong would give up the position of the head of the Su family." At this time, Su Linglong woke up slowly and saw Su Youshou's aggressive scene, so she spoke. "Okay! Let's set the deadline as fifteen days! Niece, don't blame your uncle, I am also thinking about the Su family." Su Youshou said hypocritically. "Ruyi, let's go." Su Linglong ignored him and took Su Ruyi and Huo Chenan away from the Su family ancestral hall. The group returned to the eldest lady's study. "The second master is really bullying!" The maids began to complain about the second branch of the Su family. Su Linglong didn't care much about this. She just wanted to solve the current crisis of the Su family. "9527, how much food can you raise within 15 days?" Su Linglong asked. Huo Chenan was stunned. When did he say he wanted to raise food? But he soon figured it out. Su Linglong thought he wanted to solve the crisis of the Su family by raising food. He immediately explained: "Miss, raising food can only solve the problem temporarily, but I have a permanent solution. You can try it." "What solution?" Su Linglong immediately became interested after hearing Huo Chenan's words. "Solve the drought!" Huo Chenan said decisively. Hearing this, Su Linglong could not hide her disappointment. The court could not solve the problem. You are just a small servant. Who gave you the confidence? However, Su Linglong did not blame anything. After all, Huo Chenan was also thinking about his first wife. "If you need anything, just ask Uncle Fu! I'm tired. There are still many things to do tomorrow. Let's go back and rest early!" Su Linglong gave an order and asked everyone to go back and rest.Huo Chenan saw Su Linglong's contempt. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart. If it weren't for Ruyi's face, he wouldn't bother to help. But since he promised Ruyi, he would definitely keep his promise. "Brother Chenan, how sure are you?" Su Ruyi asked on the way back. "I'm going to go to the farm first to take a look. I estimate that there is 70% to 80% chance." "Then I'll leave it to Brother Chenan." "Don't worry, I won't let you down." Huo Chenan rubbed the little girl's head lovingly. ... Su Family Second House"Dad, it's such a pity today. I almost got the position of the head of the family." Su Youshou's eldest son Su Jianqiang said. "Humph, one day earlier or later, it's just a matter of time." Su Youshou snorted coldly. "By the way, go find Master Shen again and tell him not to let Su Linglong buy a grain of food." "Okay, Dad!" "Stinky girl, let's see what you can do to fight me this time?" ... That night, the lights were on in Huo Chenan's single dormitory for the chief steward all night. Early the next morning, Huo Chenan found Uncle Fu and asked him to gather all the carpenters that the Su family could find to be ready for use. And he took Zhang San to the Su family farm outside Jinling City. The Su family farm is located at the foot of Qixia Mountain outside Jinling City. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is a treasure land with beautiful scenery and excellent feng shui, so there are countless farms of princes and nobles on Qixia Mountain. After Huo Chenan's field investigation, the situation of the farm was similar to what he thought. There are many waterways in the Yangtze and Huaihe River Basin. The only drawback of Qixia Mountain is that the water level is too low, and the world has not invented water wheels. It is impossible to complete it by artificial irrigation. Therefore, Huo Chenan's plan is to use water wheels to lead water from low places to high places to realize automatic irrigation of farmland. Just as Huo Chenan was standing by the river to measure the difference between the river water and the fields, an abrupt voice interrupted his thoughts. "I wonder what you are doing here, my friend?" Huo Chenan turned around and saw two old men standing beside him. I saw that the two men, one was majestic and solemn, and the other was cynical, but at this time, there was a look of depression between their eyebrows, as if they had something on their minds. The two old men were also attracted by curiosity when they saw him gesturing here and drawing on the silk in his hands from time to time. Huo Chenan stopped his work, pointed at the silk in his hand and said, "I'm mapping." "Mapping?" The two were puzzled by this new term. "It means measuring and drawing." Huo Chenan explained, and showed the silk in his hand to the two. The two looked at the silk full of circles, and they were confused. "Little brother, what are you drawing?" The cynical old man asked. "This is called contour lines. Each line represents the same height. The denser the lines, the steeper the slope. The sparser the lines, the gentler the slope..."After Huo Chenan's explanation, the two looked at the silk again and became more and more shocked. This is simply putting all the nearby topography on the map, which is many times better than those simple maps.
