Farmer's little Fubao is cheating

Chapter 264 How could it be a demon?

Cai and Lu Yuanjin secretly gloated when they saw Lu Jingzhou being transferred elsewhere by the emperor. ,

But soon they stopped having fun.

Lu Huainian decided to follow his second son. As a result, no one paid the rent for the house where Cai and his son lived.

What's even worse is that shopkeepers from various shops also come to demand payment for goods. If they don't pay, they will smash and rob things, and even threaten to drag women and children to pay the bills.

Ms. Cai was so frightened that she quickly urged her son to return the things.

Lu Yuanjin refused to return the favor and hid outside without seeing anyone.

Mrs. Cai couldn't find her son or those things, so she had no choice but to use her private room to fill the hole.

After she sent everyone away, she found that her husband and the concubine's family had already moved out of Ansai Mansion.

At this time, Ms. Cai didn't have much silver left in her hand, and she didn't even have a few pieces of valuable jewelry left.

Six-year-old Lu Yun was so frightened that she burst into tears and was pulled aside by Song Xiyue.

Compared with the prosperous capital city, this place is horribly desolate, with gray and yellow sand everywhere and not much greenery.

But before that, he had to coax the old woman to return her deed of betrayal.

Song Xiyue finally saw through it. She had never met her beloved in her previous life, and as a result, she still hadn't met her lover in this life.

Lu Jingzhou smiled bitterly and said to Chang'an: "It's all Jingzhou who has caused trouble for your mother and son. I'm afraid you will suffer in the future."

Lu Jingzhou took the glass bead, bowed deeply to his wife, and said with a smile, "Thank you, madam, for your love."

Let’s talk about Chang’an. We followed Lu Jingzhou to Anding City in the northwest.

It's not that the two women can't live together. At worst, they can just find a man to have a son to support the family.

The official residence of Anding Prefecture is very large, and several trees are planted in the yard, including a persimmon tree and a jujube tree.

In this case, from now on she only wants children and not men.

Chang'an didn't look at him and ordered her servants to go to the market to call some carpenters. She wanted to install glazed windows in all the cave houses.

Well, for the sake of her honesty and duty, I will keep her.

"What sin have I done to deserve God to treat me like this?" Cai covered her face and cried.

There are also very few people living here. Each county has a population of only two to three thousand, and the ten counties combined have less than 50,000.

Song Xiyue secretly swore in her heart while holding her daughter in her arms and coaxing her.

Granddaughter Lu Yun saw her grandmother crying sadly and wanted to comfort her, but Cai pushed her away: "Get out! It's all you losers! You've ruined a good family!"

Chang'an didn't say anything. He took out ten glass beads and said, "Please let someone dig the reservoir. Before going, dig two ponds in our yard."

This place is becoming more and more desolate, with large areas of desertified land.

Looking at the group of women and children at home, as well as several servants and maids, sadness suddenly rose in her heart.

Song Xiyue looked at the honest and dull Jin.

One day, she will send this old woman to the west, and it would be best for that useless man to go with her.

However, the trees are not growing well and are showing signs of dying.

But this is not a problem for Chang'an. If you water it more in the future, it should be able to survive.

Xiangxiang got used to this strange environment and happily ran around in the yard with the tabby cat Duoduo.

Mrs. Yang took several maids to clean up the house, sweep the dust, and then put all the furniture boxes and cages she brought into the house.

Although Anding Prefecture is a prefectural city, it is not as big as an ordinary county town, and there are no rivers or ponds in the city.

Everyone living here has dug underground wells, but there is no water in the wells. All drinking water comes from rain from the sky.

Due to the extreme lack of water, the people did not take a few baths throughout the year. Due to the strong wind and sand, their whole bodies were dusty, and a strange smell could be smelled from a distance. Lu Jingzhou and his father went to meet with local officials and asked them to report on their respective work situations.

Then he started recruiting people to build and dig large ponds in the city.

The people were very puzzled, but they could not disobey the orders issued by the government, so they had no choice but to work hard.

Fortunately, it was autumn, and the people were not too busy after harvesting beans and millet. At this time, men, women, old and young came to dig ponds.

Someone whispered: "What's the use of digging this? Can we still save water?"

"Who knows. It is said that the newly appointed prefect this time is from Jiangnan. I guess he doesn't know that there is very little rain here."

"Well, people say that a new official's first fire upon taking office is here. We finally know that his first fire is here."

"No, if an official talks, we brats will break our legs from exhaustion."

Not only the people were talking a lot, but even the officials of Anding Mansion were shaking their heads and sighing.

They all told the new prefect that there was little rain here and digging the pond was of no use.

But the new prefect insisted on having his own way and asked everyone to dig two large ponds in the city within a month.

"Just wait! Once the pond is dug, we'll see how it ends!"

Some people also secretly thought that they would write a memorial and send it to the capital when the time comes, impeaching the new prefect for deliberately tormenting the people and wasting money and money in order to establish his authority.

One month later, the pond was finally dug.

Lu Jingzhou went to check the results with his hands behind his back. He saw that the pond was in the shape of terraces, with shallow edges and a circle of large stones. The deeper he dug into the middle, the deepest point was more than two feet. He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

In the evening, Lu Jingzhou personally went to the pond and placed a glass bead in a stone statue. He was shocked when he saw a large amount of water pouring out of the stone statue.

Is his wife a water demon?

No! How could Chang'an be a demon!

Lu Jingzhou shook his head and went to another pond to do the same thing.

By the next day, the entire Anding City was boiling.

People looked at the two ponds full of clear water in disbelief and screamed loudly: "How is it possible? Why is there so much water?"

The women were so happy that they knelt down by the pond, drinking from the water with tears streaming down their faces.

Some people also ran home and filled all the pots and jars at home with water, fearing that all the water would be gone in a blink of an eye.

Even the officials in the city were shocked.

They looked at the clear blue water in disbelief and pinched each other's thighs, thinking they were dreaming.

"Could it be that the prefect's ancestors were well diggers? That's why he was able to find the source of the water and let us pump out the water?"

"It's possible! It seems that we didn't find the right place to dig the well before, so that's why the water didn't come out."

Lu Huainian stood next to these people, secretly poking at them, feeling a little helpless.

My ancestors were not well-diggers, but my wife's ancestors might have been.

Thinking about the severe drought in Anyang Prefecture, wasn't it the daughter-in-law's family who used the whole family to solve the drought?

No wonder my son wanted to marry him in Chang'an despite all his efforts. It turned out that he did have merit.

Immediately, several counties under the jurisdiction of Anding Prefecture began to dig ponds in the county seat, and then each county called on villagers to dig reservoirs.

This busy work lasted for several months, and it was not until the following spring that the reservoirs in each county were gradually successful.

Unexpectedly, the water in the reservoir has not yet been replenished, and Chang'an is about to give birth, so Cai and her son's family came to Anding Mansion.

One chapter will be updated tonight, and another chapter will be updated at 12 o'clock tomorrow. Good night, dear friends.
