The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2228 Price
The water level of the lake that was originally used to store water on Zhuangzi has gradually risen, but fortunately, it is still very strong here. If there is a problem with this lake, then the large circle around the lake will be filled with wharf warehouses. , are all unlucky.

There are many warehouses by the lake. Originally, this side was connected to the Wei River. Although large cargo ships cannot enter, small ships can still enter. Therefore, there are also a lot of things stocked here, and a lot of sacks are needed on the side of the canal. The servants of the Xuan family came here.

In terms of supplies, there will be no shortage here.

As for the shopkeepers here, when they heard that Qi Guogong needed these things, without a word, they quickly asked their workers to move out all the empty sacks in the warehouse, and went to the canal with the servants of the Xuan family. Bian'er went to help.

There are more and more people gathering at the side of the canal. There are many canals in Dongshan County, and they are also very long. Once people disperse, it will not seem crowded. Many people come to help, which is also a good thing.

The canals have overflowed in several places. Apart from blocking the canals, the submerged fields must also find ways to drain the water inside. This is a troublesome matter.

This rain, from morning to afternoon, Xuan Shijing and Jin Yang, including those who were working outside in the rain, didn't eat a mouthful of food or drink a mouthful of water.

Now the rain still doesn't seem to stop, and no one dares to relax.

It wasn't until the afternoon that the rain gradually subsided, and the water in the canal was completely controlled. The rest was to drain all the water from the fields and there would be no major problems.

Xuan Shijing looked up at the sky. After today's heavy rain, there should be no more rain in the next few days. The thick clouds in the sky have dissipated at some point.

After a heavy rain, it will be fine.

"Master, madam, you two have been busy for such a long time, you haven't eaten anything, there is no problem here, why don't you two go back to the house to rest for a while, and eat as much as you want Things." A servant of the Xuan family came to Xuan Shijing and Jin Yang and said.

The rain had stopped, so there was nothing to worry about, Xuan Shijing nodded.

"Sure, if you're done with the matter here, please call me back." Xuan Shijing said, turning his head to look at Jinyang: "Ma'am, let's go back first."

Jin Yang also nodded.

Fortunately, the farmer's gate braved the heavy rain to block all the canals. Otherwise, more water would accumulate in the fields, and there would be no way to deal with it, and more fields would suffer.

If this was put on more than 30 years ago, there would be no such problems in the fields under such heavy rain, because there are places for rainwater to drain and seep. Changes are taking place, the land has become more compact, there are many more stone roads, and there are many more buildings.

But what are the benefits?If this heavy rain had been held more than 30 years ago, it would have caused houses to collapse and people to die. But now, everyone’s houses are still in good condition. They have not been washed away by the rain, and no one in the village has died because of the collapse of their houses. die.

After Xuan Shijing came back to her senses, she realized that maybe this is the price to pay for development. Now it is only experienced in such a Zhuangzi, what will happen in the future?

Why is the water of the Yellow River turbid?Because of the continuous construction of various buildings in Guanzhong, whether it is a residential house or a palace, the wanton felling of trees caused water and soil erosion.

Think about the loess high slopes of later generations.
"Husband, what are you thinking?" Jin Yang walked with Xuan Shijing, and naturally noticed that Xuan Shijing was distracted.

"I'm thinking about our Zhuangzi. If such a heavy rain was placed more than ten or twenty years ago, it would not have caused the crops in the field to suffer like this." Xuan Shijing said: "Is it our Zhuangzi? On, the development is a little too fast?"

"Isn't this a good thing?" Jin Yang asked back: "In the past, the common people relied on God and the few acres of crops in the field to eat, but now, although there are problems with the canals, they can still be used after repairs. It can change the days of looking at the sky and eating. By the way, the farmers on our farm now don’t just look at the sky to eat. In addition to the crops in the field, they also have other means of making a living. To put it bluntly, even if It was this rain that destroyed all the crops in the field, but they can still survive and have the ability to survive."

What Jin Yang said is that the income of the people on Zhuangzi has been diversified, instead of relying on the crops in the field to survive.

"And all these things on Zhuangzi were brought by my husband." Jin Yang said: "So my husband doesn't need to think so much."

After Xuan Shijing said this, Jin Yang understood how tired Xuan Shijing is now. He had to be careful of the turmoil in the court and the slander of those villains in the dark, and at the same time he had to worry about the farmers in the village. , The life of the people.

With such a heavy heart, what kind of spirit can the whole person have?
"I don't want to think so much. It's the same in Zhuangzi, not to mention the whole Guanzhong." Xuan Shijing sighed and said, "I don't want our descendants to poke our spines and scold us after thousands of years."

Jin Yang didn't understand what he said. It was obvious that he was making the common people live a better life, so why would later generations scold you with their spines poked?

Xuan Shijing shook his head helplessly, fell silent, and continued to walk forward.

Although he had a coir raincoat on his body, who would pay so much attention when working, and it was raining so hard that the clothes inside were already wet.

After returning home, the servants in the house quickly boiled hot water, let the two of them wash in the room, put on clean clothes, and boiled hot ginger soup in the kitchen for the two of them. Bring it over, drink it, and drive away the cold air, lest the cold air enter the body and get the wind and cold again.

If there is any wind and cold in this season, it will not be easy.

That night, throughout the night, Xuan Shijing didn't sleep well, and lay on the bed tossing and turning for a long time before closing his eyes, concentrating and falling asleep.

At daybreak, Xuan Shijing woke up again, and only after waking up did he remember that the servants in the house didn't seem to come over to talk about Zhuangzi's affairs yesterday.

It rained so much yesterday.

After washing up, Xuan Shijing changed into clothes and left the room.

After all, it had only rained once, and it was much cooler than before the rain. The soil on the ground was not yet dry, and it looked like another sporadic light rain fell last night.
