Rebirth of the Imperial Examination: The Empress of the Impoverished Family

The road under your feet is newly built, flat and wide.

There are constant shouts of "one two" coming from a distance, which makes people feel energetic.

Looking from a distance, under the lush forest is a new dam that has just taken shape.

Jiang Jin's understanding of these knowledge can use the word "lack".

All she could see was a newly opened river channel and the original half-dry canal.

On the dam that has just taken shape, workers carrying wooden piles, bamboo sticks, and bricks and stones are constantly shuttling and busy.

The sun was scorching hot, and the sweat dripping from the forehead merged with the drain.

Jiang Jin couldn't tell how he felt.

Before this, she is tiny.

Now she even felt how ridiculous she was when she answered the questions in the government examination a while ago.

With the help of books, I made a few general strokes, talked about water control, and talked about people's livelihood.

It happened that there was also a team that had just disembarked, so Jiang Jin went with them.

In this team, there are old and young, and there are more young and strong. The leader is an old man with a hunchback.

The old man, looking at the brocade clothes she was wearing, kindly asked her what she was going to do.

Jiang Jin replied respectfully: "Xiaosheng is here to find Jiang county magistrate."

"Ah, the county master is not here now." The old man shook his back, "He went down to the village to see the flood canal."

"Flood canal?"

Jiang Jin asked in puzzlement.

In her understanding, a dam is a wall that keeps water back.

But here it was, and it was clear the dam wasn't what she understood it to be.

Her knowledge reserve is probably the lowest here, so she just asks if she doesn't understand, and she doesn't feel ashamed.

At the same time, she was also lamenting that, sure enough, she is a scholar who is useless.

"This ditch was dug last year. The construction here is easy to block that side. Besides, the rainy season is coming soon. The ditches and the bamboo ditch have to be dug."

The old man's face was dark, but he smiled kindly, "Dole is to blame for what you have to do, young master, come with me. Although the county master is not here, his young master should not have left yet."

Jiang Jin thanked him in time.

She couldn't understand any of the nouns in the old man's mouth.

I just feel taught.

It's really not in vain.

At the same time, she was also surprised that Jiang Ling was here.

Originally, she thought that this cousin would hide in frustration, but she didn't expect to follow her uncle to this place.

Thinking of the last time he saw Jiang Ling, and the memory of him in his previous life, Jiang Jin's mouth also curled into a smile.

Perhaps, this is the best result.

Along the way, Jiang Jin asked the old man many things.

Knowing that the old man came to help on his own initiative, she couldn't help being shocked for a moment.

But the old man waved his hand and said he didn't care, "In the past, a few dolls had to be washed away every year, and the collapse of the house was a trivial matter. Now that someone is willing to take care of us, we naturally won't just watch. The early completion of the project will not benefit the common people. "

"The county lord said he would give us wages, but we are ashamed to ask for it. The food provided by Xiyun Pavilion is very expensive, so how dare we accept the money."

Xi Yunge's meal?
Jiang Jin was shocked again.

Ao Ye only said to send it once, but did not say that he would send it all the time.

However, she has no objection.

As a commoner living in Anfu County, she should do her part.

"Young master, the biggest shed is in front, so I won't send you there."

After Jiang Jin and Qing Shan hurriedly expressed their thanks, they bid farewell to the old man.

What he saw and heard along the way made Jiang Jin click his tongue.

Jiang Jin was even more stunned by the shack in front of him.

This shack can only be described as simple and crude.

It is estimated that if it is raining heavily outside, it will rain lightly inside the house.

Jiang Jin was just thinking about what he should say to Jiang Ling after he went in.

The two brothers, when they parted last time, the scene was not so good.

Jiang Jin is still hesitating.

He saw Jiang Ling who had just walked out of the house, wearing coarse clothes and holding blueprints in his hand.

Jiang Jin almost didn't recognize the person in front of him.

He is also taller, dark and thin, with clear eyes, although he still has a young face, but sharp edges and corners have appeared on the lower jaw.

This is the shrunken version of Uncle!

This is this!
When the two met before, although Jiang Ling had lost some weight, he was obviously hungry and thin. He was in a trance, and could fall down when the wind touched him.

Now this one, I am afraid that if it is thrown into the ditch, it can swim back by itself!
"Cousin?"

Jiang Ling was also dumbfounded, but he was obviously much calmer than Jiang Jin's expression.

Jiang Jin saw him explain to the people behind him twice, and ran towards him.

There was also a smile on her face, "cousin."

Suddenly, a little embarrassed, she asked again, "How are you doing recently?"

Jiang Ling scratched his head, "Uh, it's pretty good."

He put his hands down and bowed to Jiang Jin, with the manner of a nobleman in his gestures, "I haven't congratulated my cousin's examination yet."

"Where." Jiang Jin replied.

The scene was embarrassing for a while. Although she had nothing to do with Jiang Ling, the events of the previous generation would still affect her to some extent.

She still misses the former Jiang Ling who was always pulling the corner of his clothes behind him.

It was Jiang Ling who spoke first, "Did my cousin come to look for my father?"

"Yes."

Jiang Jin didn't deny it, "Sir, he said that traveling thousands of miles is worse than reading thousands of books, so he asked me to come here and take a look."

Jiang Ling said "oh oh" twice.

Jiang Jin paused for a moment, then asked again, "Aren't you going back to the academy?"

"I won't go back now, I have already suspended my studies with the head of the mountain, and it's the same for me to follow my father here."

Jiang Ling smiled slyly, and raised the blueprint in his hand, "Father has gone to the village today, and if all goes well, he will be back in the evening. Do you want to follow me to another village first?"

"Okay."

Jiang Jin readily agreed.

Jiang Ling asked her to rest here first, and then ran to greet people.

Jiang Jin watched him wearing a straw hat, running up and down the embankment, extremely dexterous, and kept shouting "Uncle" and "Uncle" from his mouth.

When he came back, there were already three yamen servants following behind him.

"I'm going to Li's Village today. There are hundreds of households. About six of us." Jiang Ling smiled, "Cousin, since you're here, why don't you help with the work?"

Jiang Jin naturally agreed, "But the ugly words are up front, I don't understand anything, I'm just a bad student."

Jiang Ling shook his head as he walked, "Cousin, don't worry, you are good at this."

Jiang Jin:? ? ?
She really didn't know what she was good at.

Jiang Ling played her a charade.

Along the way, I briefly told her about the dam.

Only then did she know that besides the main dam, there was another auxiliary dam under construction.

Valve channels, sand discharge gates, diversion channels, flood embankments, intake gates and other projects are also being improved one by one.

What is being done now is a contingency plan.

The uncle is responsible for ensuring the smooth drainage of the river ditch.

Jiang Ling took on the responsibility of ensuring the safety of the people.

"Cousin, I've said my ugly words before, no matter what happens, you can't run away!"

Jiang Jin: No no... No way! ?
Jiang Ling: Hey hey hey hey hey (insidious)
