wear it lord god

Chapter 1073 Changping County Lord 21
The city guard was considered smart, so he quickly asked someone to open an umbrella.

He looks respectful on the surface, but what he thinks in his heart is, what kind of city wall do you look at under such a big sun on a hot day.

Walking to the top of the city wall, there is a five-meter-wide walkway. My God, the sun has scorched the ground so hot that you can feel your feet burning through your shoes.

Xining also pointed curiously: "There are two walls on the city wall, and there is such a large space in the middle, is it just empty like this?"

I really admire the county lord's "good taste", the city guard dared not share the same umbrella with the county lord, and hid in another umbrella: "This is the Wengcheng. After the city gate fell, the enemy entered, and the second city gate was opened." Block them in. Soldiers shoot arrows, set fire, throw stones around, and kill the enemy in the urn."

Xi Ning nodded involuntarily, the wisdom of the ancients is really powerful, but in order to save his life, of course he must think of any way.

She asked: "The gate in the north of the city is also like this. Is there an urn?"

The city guard said: "Exactly, because the Huns are in the north, there are three north gates and two urns."

Two urns and three strong gates still couldn't stop the Xiongnu's iron hooves.

It's almost there, so Xining went down.

"County Lord be careful!" Jing'er responded in front, the stairs were stone steps, steep and narrow, only one person could pass through.

The city is not for watching and playing, it is inconvenient for oneself, and it is even more inconvenient when the Huns call.This kind of stairs only needs a fierce general to stand, and then he can stop the enemies on the stairs with one block, and pick one by one to go down.

After going down the tower, Xining saw a well inside the second city gate: "Is there a well here too?"

"This place is dry, and this well is no longer producing water." The city guard said: "There are also many wells without water in the city. Last year was hot, and this year is the same. The water demand is higher than in previous years."

Xining immediately asked, "Is there still water in the well at the north city gate?"

The city guard replied: "There is no water. I heard that the wells in Beicheng dried up a month ago and there is no more water."

Xi Ning said as he walked, "How can we survive without water in this hot day. If some Li people pass by and faint, if there is not enough water, they may close their eyes and not be able to open them."

Instead, he said: "Housekeeper Xiao, go find the well diggers and help these two wells get water. If there is really no water, investigate nearby and dig two wells out."

When the city guard heard this, he bowed immediately: "The county lord is for the people, and he is truly benevolent and righteous. I thank the county lord."

In fact, digging the well is also good for them. On a hot day, the well water is cooler. It is much more comfortable to wash your face and chill a melon.Get some water and sprinkle it on the ground, it won't be so dry and dusty.

After reading it, Xining returned to the mansion.When I got out of the car, I took off my hat and walked quickly to my bedroom: "Oh, it's so hot, I'm so hot!"

Jing'er shouted from behind: "Hurry up, go get water, go get some more ice. Hurry up and bring the iced sour plum soup and mung bean soup to the county magistrate."

When they arrived at the house, a group of maids were already busy, and Shi'er and Hua'er brought basins and hand towels.

Jing'er soaked the towel in the water and picked it up, but Xining grabbed it and wiped it on her face and neck.

"Oh, county lord, you can slow down. It's hot and cold, be careful of prickly heat." Jing'er hurriedly twisted another towel, knelt down to help the county lord wipe her legs gently.

"This damn weather, why is it so hot?" Xi Ning didn't care so much, and wiped himself carelessly.

After wiping his body and changing into light clothes, he finally felt relieved. Just now, his whole body was as familiar as this terrible weather.

Jing'er served iced sour plum soup: "The county magistrate, drink it slowly, drink less, just this bowl."

There is plenty of sour plum juice, which is still chilled in the ice cream, but people in this era believe that women should not eat more iced things.

Xi Ning didn't care, and drank it all in one gulp: "Bring the mung bean soup. I'll eat it slowly!"

Jing'er, who was about to say something, was speechless when she heard it, and handed over a small bowl of mung bean soup with ice cubes.

Xining took it, took a spoonful and put it in his mouth to chew. Thinking of Jing'er, he took the spoon and pointed at the ice mirror: "You can eat it too! It's too hot, and the rest will serve you."

"Thank you county master!" Jing'er was also pitiful, her face was flushed red from the heat, just like cooked shrimp, but she still had to serve her when she came back.

With the county head's permission, she went out, wiped herself first, and then went to another place to eat iced mung bean soup.

Xi Ning slowly ate mung bean soup with spoonfuls and mixed with lime juice, seeing that the city wall is still quite strong... Well, it seems that I need to buy some glutinous rice, so I can eat it if I don’t need it.

I allocated 20 taels of silver to dig a well!It's easy to do things with money.Housekeeper Xiao immediately found the man who dug the well.For the two wells in the north and south of the city, water came out when they were dug five meters deep in the south of the city, but there was no water when they were dug ten meters deeper in the north of the city.

There was a senior old man in the city. He heard that it was the county magistrate who dug the well for the common people, so he recommended himself to go there. In his 60s, he personally dug a well nearly [-] feet deep, and went to check it with a torch and candle.

After reading it, he said that water can come out, so he dug again.

After digging for more than five meters, the water finally came out.The water quality is clear and sweet, which is the best well water.

This time Steward Xiao didn't dare to be greedy for money, so he asked the people who built the granary to build a pulley at the mouth of the well for the convenience of fetching water.After all, these two wells are too deep, and it will take a long time to pull them by hand.

The weather is hot, and every time the people pass by, they will fetch some water, drink it themselves and feed their animals.And the officers and soldiers guarding the city, when it is too hot, will fetch water to take a shower or something, which feels too convenient.

The people simply named the two wells Changlin and Pingyi, separated the title of the county lord and the name of the county, and reassembled them.Because Changping County Lord enters from the south gate, it is called Changlin.And the North City is called Pingyi because it depends on the Xiongnu.

After the granary was built, the purchased grain began to be poured into it.Butler Lin and Xiao Zhan came and went four times during this period, and Xia Tian passed away unknowingly while being busy.

Sometimes it is like this, every day feels difficult, but it really passes, and every day is also very fast.

"Master, eat grapes!" Jing'er peeled a grape slowly and put it on a plate with a toothpick next to it: "It's very sweet, it's a tribute from the Western Regions."

This was a reward from the King of Han, and only the favored wives could eat the tribute from the Western Regions in the palace.Han Wang also gave her a share for the sake of a few melons.

Speaking of melons, the king of Han didn't care at first.But after a lady finished eating, she said it was sweet, so he tasted it, and it was really sweet and delicious.But the melons were all eaten, and I heard that there were some for sale outside, but he is a dignified emperor, so he can't ask people to go out and ask for the melons bought by others.

Unexpectedly, after half a month, another car was delivered.This time Hanwang ate happily.Just after eating, the third wave came again.

So that when the King of Han was eating melons, he sighed from time to time, the Lord Changping seems to have grown up and knows how to be loyal and loving to the emperor.

Xi Ning looked at it and said, "You can eat this, I'd better pick it up and eat it myself." After speaking, he twisted off a grain and stuffed it in his mouth.
