The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2227
Xuan Shijing wore a coir raincoat and came to the canal on the Zhuangzi. Not all sections of the canal were blocked, but some low-lying places were full of water. The farmers on the Zhuangzi were all carrying tools and wearing coir raincoats. Build soil next to it, trying to block the breach.

If the flood is allowed to gather here, the nearby farmland will suffer.

"Quick! Go help!" Xuan Shijing said.

"Master, you"

"What are you, I will help too!" Xuan Shijing said.

After finishing speaking, Xuan Shijing went forward, and together with the farmers on the Zhuangzi, moved stones and resisted sacks.

Before Xuan Shijing came out, he didn't change his clothes. He was still wearing brocade clothes, but most of them were covered by the coir raincoat. He raised his head and looked carefully at the person in front of him.

"Grandpa? Why are you here?" the farmer asked in surprise.

"I heard that something happened to the canal on our farm, so I came to have a look. Come on, hurry up and plug it up first, otherwise the crops in the field will suffer." Xuan Shijing said.

The growth of crops is indeed inseparable from water, but the amount of irrigation is also necessary. If the water in the field cannot be drained in time under heavy rain like this, the roots of the crops may rot in the ground.

"Grandpa, how can you do such rough work like us with a rich body? Let us do these things." The farmer said.

"What a rich body, and not a rich lady, I also went to the battlefield and hacked people, how can I be so delicate, don't talk nonsense, work!" Xuan Shijing shouted.

It was raining heavily, and although Xuan Shijing spoke to this person in a loud voice, except for two or three people around him, no one else discovered Xuan Shijing's identity. The news of working side by side also spread.

Even the Duke of Qi came to help, so there is no reason for them not to work hard. After all, the flooded land is the foundation of their survival.

Xuan Shijing ordered his servants to go to Zhuangzi to raise sacks. Just laying soil won't do much, and they will be washed away by the water more or less. Only sacks filled with gravel can block the sacks. Close the gap, and wait for the heavy rain to pass before dredging the entire canal again.

Xuan Shijing's strength is still great, and when he does his work, he is also crisp and neat, no worse than the farmers on the Zhuangzi.

"It's almost done here, go to another place quickly." Xuan Shijing said: "In addition, the water in the field must also be drained out, and some people will be assigned to dig a ditch beside the field to drain water."

"Okay." The surrounding households responded one after another, and then under the organization of people, they distributed the work in an orderly manner, and everyone was busy with their own work.

Xuan Shijing kept patrolling the fields to see if there were any problems.

"Master, Madam is here too." In the heavy rain, Xuan Shijing's servant said.

"What?!" Xuan Shijing was startled, and then looked around, and sure enough, he saw Jin Yang in a coir raincoat wearing a coir raincoat, and rushed over with his family's servants.

"Husband." Jin Yang came to Xuan Shijing's side.

"Why did you come here?" Xuan Shijing said, "It's raining so hard, you should just stay at home."

"Husband, there is nothing to worry about at home. I am worried about this side, so there are people who have nothing to do at home. I have brought all of them here. Even if there is a problem, we have to go together Face it, husband and wife are one, no matter what, the concubine will accompany her husband to face it together." Jin Yang said.

Everyone had already arrived, so Xuan Shijing couldn't say anything, but what Jin Yang said really moved Xuan Shijing's heart, and it was a lie to say that he was not moved.

Moreover, as Jin Yang said, facing all things, it is not just this one thing, but all things. Obviously, Jin Yang himself has thought about a lot of things at home in the past two days, especially when his family is now situation.

Xuan Shijing was afraid that Jinyang would be in a dilemma, so even if the matter was kept in her heart, she would not talk to Jinyang, but Jinyang's attitude today undoubtedly made Xuan Shijing feel more at ease.

No matter what happens, a husband and wife are a husband and wife. Although they are born in two families, they are a family from the moment they get married, and that is a new home.

When there are difficulties in the family, we should face them together. This is a husband and wife, and this is a family.

Xuan Shijing felt that it might be that she had thought too much before. Sometimes, it is not a good thing to think about everything in detail. In this case, it will make her family think more.

"Okay." Xuan Shijing reached out and took Jinyang's hand, and shook it vigorously: "No matter what happens, we will stand together."

In the heavy rain, the servants of the Xuan family also joined in the busy work, while Xuan Shijing led Jin Yang to patrol around the canal constantly, and sometimes the two of them would help each other.

With Xuan Shijing and Jin Yang sitting here, it is obvious that the morale of the farmers has increased a lot, and they are working extra hard.

Duke Qi and His Royal Highness the Princess can endure this hardship, and they are still thinking about them in their hearts. If they don't take this seriously in their hearts, what is it?
"Everyone, put in more effort, and this side will be blocked in no time!"

"it is good!"

"Come! One! Two! Three! Go!"

The two of them worked together to lift a sack full of gravel and stacked it on the side of the ditch.

After going back and forth like this, many gaps in the canal were blocked like this.

While watching them work, Xuan Shijing was also thinking, the original Zhuangzi was not so big, and the canal was built on the Zhuangzi at the beginning to satisfy the people in the Zhuangzi at that time, but obviously, now There are many more people in the Zhuangzi than before, and the canal has been in disrepair for a long time. The heavy rain today exposed all the problems of the canal.

Xuan Shijing has now started to think about the canal, not only for repairs, but also for expansion.

It is true that a lot of money will be spent in this way, but Xuan Shijing doesn't care about money.

The Xuan family has money, and if the money is lying in the warehouse, it is not money, but a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron.

Can money that cannot be spent be called money?

Moreover, if the money is gone, it can always be earned back. The important thing is to look at the investment, and this Zhuangzi is the biggest investment of the Xuan family, so Xuan Shijing is willing to spend money on Zhuangzi, and he is content.
