Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1345 Famine and Natural Disaster 504

Mingyi pursed her lips and said honestly: "Chaosheng, am I outstanding in other aspects?"

“Excellent!”

She was undoubtedly excellent, the most outstanding girl he had ever seen.

"Then it's harmless for me to hide my poor calligraphy skills, right?"

  Chow Ting: It seems to be the case

"No, Yiyi, why do you have to hide your shortcomings?" He was almost led astray.

  Mingyi:.

The deviation failed o(╯□╰)o.

"Well, it's nothing, I just wanted to write this; people can't be perfect, right?"

Zhou Ting stared at the man for a long time with dark eyes; Ming Yi did not feel guilty at all, and was even so confident that "everything I said was right".

"Forget it. If you don't want to tell me, no matter how much I ask, it's useless." He touched the black hair draped over her shoulders, with an unnoticed stubbornness in his eyes; her concealment made him feel uneasy.

Mingyi glanced around, always sizing up his expression; she didn't see the look in his eyes, but saw the desolation on his face, and she felt a little guilty.

They are the closest people to her, but in this world, her abilities have not been fully revealed, making her a special existence of this era; appropriately concealing her shortcomings is the bottom line she leaves for herself.

However, Tongtian Zhou Ting is the same person.

Then it should be okay for her to tell him since he had already discovered it anyway.

Mingyi tugged at his sleeve and said, "Chaosheng, I was wrong about this matter. I won't hide it from you anymore, okay?"

Zhou Ting felt relieved and happy at the sudden apology. He found a way to soften her heart. She would feel sorry for him if he pretended to be pitiful.

That's the case.

He pretended again.

"Yiyi, I didn't do well enough to make you trust me wholeheartedly. If you have any questions in the future, just ask me directly. If you have any problems, just tell me directly. I will do anything for you, even if it means going through fire and water."

So, don't hide it.

"It hasn't come to that." She held his big hand back, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. His palm was gentle and dry, but strong and rough. "I was wrong about this matter. I won't hide it from you in the future. When you are not in my palace, I practice calligraphy when I have nothing to do. I have made some progress in calligraphy."

Zhou Ting held the person in his arms, and the light body fragrance fascinated him.

"We've agreed that we won't hide anything, we won't lie, and we'll be honest with each other about anything." Seize the opportunity and make your request quickly.

Mingyi knew all about his little tricks and was willing to tolerate his possessiveness. She smiled gently and said, "I'll listen to you. I hope we have no secrets from each other."

"Yes, I have told you all my secrets, and you know my manpower; you also have the token, and I have nothing to hide from you."

Mingyi could hear a hint of grievance in his straightforward words, a very small and subtle grievance; she patted the back of his hand in amusement, and no one spoke again, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

In a blink of an eye, it was noon. The two had lunch together. Zhou Ting accompanied her in the study to read a book, and took a short rest when they were tired.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so Zhou Ting took her to the military camp and Chunmei was left in the house.

The camp at Pingyang Pass is not much different from the camp at Fucheng Border Pass, with the same tents, the same training, and the same military culture; the only difference is probably the food and drink.

Water resources are scarce, yellow sand is everywhere, and a gust of wind can blow up gusts of yellow sand; walking outside feels like rolling through the sand.

Zhou Ting took her into the main tent. As soon as Ming Yi sat down, she asked curiously, "Logically speaking, the conditions at Pingyang Pass should be better than those at Fucheng Border Pass. Why are the conditions here so bad?"

"Pingyang Pass is not a key development area, and it is close to the border of the Central Plains. In the past, when the country was at peace, my grandfather and his people never thought of moving the population to Pingyang Pass. As a result, no one lived here, and no one managed it. Except for the Northwest Army stationed here, there was no one else. An uninhabited place is bound to be desolate, and the vegetation has become scarce year by year, and it has become the Pingyang Pass of today."

"Water resources are scarce, so grass and trees can't grow, let alone grow food. In the past few years, the Central Plains has been hit by drought, and Pingyang Pass has been affected to some extent. The annual military pay is allocated by the royal palace, and there have been no wars for many years, so this place has become a relatively poor garrison."

"If there are few flowers, plants and trees, we can plant them; if there is little water source, we can drain it; have you ever thought about digging canals to divert water? If we continue to work hard here, Pingyang Pass will develop into a desert." Once a desert is formed, the manpower, material resources and financial resources required to rectify it are enormous.

Huge amounts of manpower and material resources were invested, but not even a sound was heard.

"The desert won't be very large, so it should be fine." Zhou Ting didn't know what Mingyi was thinking.

"After the desert is formed, it will spread to other places. It is extremely harmful and an uncertain danger to the northwest. It will be inconvenient to travel in the future." She couldn't say anything about the sandstorm. After all, it had never happened.

Zhou Ting shook his head, "There is no way to manage the Pingyang Pass area at the moment."

Mingyi sighed, understanding his choice.

The Central Plains is watching covetously and really has no manpower to spare.

"By the way, after so many years of drought, there may be no vegetation in the Central Plains, right?" Wouldn't it have become a desert?

Zhou Ting recalled what was written in the memorial: the vegetation in the Central Plains was decreasing day by day, and those in power did not pay much attention to it; the resources were becoming increasingly scarce, otherwise, how could they have valued the Northwest, which was once a barren land.

"Almost." He nodded.

Ming Yi's eyes flickered, and he sighed in understanding: "No wonder Pingyang Pass has become like this. It has affected the normal life of the Northwest Army stationed there."

He paused for a moment and spoke hesitantly.

"Chao Sheng, we can't delay digging canals and diverting water any longer. We can't mobilize manpower from the army. We can mobilize the common people to work and pay them for one day's work. Are there any talents in water conservancy in the northwest?"

Zhou Ting was silent for a moment, and said, "I haven't heard of any talent in this area yet."

"That's a problem. The soldiers in the army have enough food and grass, but they lack water. This is not good for them, and it is not good for the war. If a war really breaks out, the lack of water resources will be inconvenient everywhere."

He has no concerns in this regard.

However, she was right. It would be very inconvenient if it affected normal life. As the commander of an army, he could provide water for anyone else.

He is not short of water, but what about the other soldiers?

Many of them could not take a shower for many days and they trained every day and sweated profusely. Over time, the barracks became smelly. Not to mention him, the soldiers were sloppy and easily became a breeding ground for disease.

"Yiyi, I understand. I will send a message back to my mother about this."

He doesn't have the manpower to look for water conservancy talents. This is a big project and cannot be dealt with in a perfunctory manner.

Mingyi then felt relieved. As long as he was willing to do it, there was still hope for Pingyang Pass. The only thing to worry about was that he had no sense of crisis, and that would be the worst if the crisis really came to an end.

Born in sorrow and died in happiness.

When you are in a turbulent time, you should not have a complacent mindset, otherwise, sooner or later your vitality will be wiped out by the complacency.

Second update is here, good night everyone~~~
