Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 247 After the Disaster
After more than 40 consecutive days of rain, it finally stopped, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Zhao Xiancheng brought someone back in the afternoon to replace Zixuan, and let Zixuan go back to rest.

"Lord Zhao, the rain has stopped now. Although the water level can't be seen falling, it will not rise. Let's watch for a while this afternoon. Just leave a few young and strong to patrol at night, and the rest can go back to rest. These days, everyone is exhausted. This time, the whole county will work together to tide over the difficulties. I will give a commendation to the court at the official meeting." Before leaving, Zixuan gave Zhao Xiancheng a few words.

"Don't worry, my lord. I'm here to watch. If something happens, I will definitely ask my lord. As for rewards and the like, I don't expect extravagantly. We are all born and bred here, and we are lucky to be able to keep our homeland." Zhao The county magistrate said with a smile.Originally, according to the regulations of the imperial court, officials were not allowed to be officials in their original places.However, the place in the east of the town has not belonged to the imperial court for a short time, and many people in the county government were found from the local area, and the county magistrate Zhao was no exception.

"Speaking of which, everyone has to thank you, sir. If you hadn't had great foresight and foresight, you would have built the dam ahead of time. This time, the east of our town will suffer heavy losses just like other places." Someone beside him said.

Zixuan shook his head with a smile, "This flood depends on the people of the whole county being united and united, so that the danger can be saved at the critical moment. No matter how capable I am, I only have one pair of hands. What can I do? Alright, now It's not the time for us to praise each other. Although the levee has been preserved, the situation in various places is still not optimistic, and we have to cheer up and not be careless."

Everyone laughed happily, and then Zixuan led some people back to the village.They hadn't rested for a long time. Under the arrangement of the village chief, they lay directly on the kang of the villagers' house and fell asleep soundly.

Zixuan and others slept soundly, until the next morning when the sun was bright, no one was able to get up.The women in the village made breakfast, and then the village chief came to Zixuan's door, knocked on the door lightly, and called everyone to get up.

After a night's rest, although everyone is still a little tired, they seem to be more energetic.Everyone got up and had breakfast, and then Zixuan took people to the embankment again.

Today's weather is pretty good. Although the sky has not completely cleared, the rain has stopped, and the clouds in the sky are not so thick.Zixuan stood by the river, watching the water level drop gradually, a hanging heart finally let go. "From this point of view, Nuonijiang should be fine, but I don't know what's going on in the rest of the place? So, Mr. Zhao, you should send people to see if there are any places affected by the disaster. Didn't we also send some people? Are you guarding the first few positions? If nothing happens, let those people come back. Next, it won’t be easy, the crops in the field may decrease, alas.”

"This is already a blessing, and you don't need to worry about it. Fortunately, there were no casualties among the people. Some of the crops in the field were lost, and the rest was kept for rations. At most, the income was less. The stomach is already pretty good, we can't be too demanding about anything else." Zhao Xiancheng advised from the side.

Zixuan saw that there was nothing serious going on here, and he was too tired to recover, so he took people back to the county government office.

Jinghan has been worried for the past few days, for fear that something will happen to Zixuan.At any rate, seeing the sky clear up, my heart felt a little more at ease.He suddenly heard someone in front say that the master is back, so he ran out regardless of anything.

When he came to the door, he happened to see Zixuan coming in from the outside.Jinghan stopped at this moment, watching Zixuan approaching her step by step.Jing Han smiled, seeing the person she loved appeared in front of her intact, her heart that had been bewildered for the past few days finally found a home.Smiling and laughing, but shed tears, Jinghan didn't wipe the tears from her face, just smiled, letting the tears cover her delicate face.

Zixuan walked up to Jinghan in a few steps, reached out and wiped Jinghan's tears with his sleeve. "Silly lady, why are you still crying when I come back?"

Jinghan's tears wiped away more and more, and finally she couldn't help but threw herself into Zixuan's arms, and she couldn't let go of her arms around Zixuan's waist. "You're finally back, I'm so worried about you."

Zixuan hugged Jinghan tightly, put his chin on the top of Jinghan's head, and patted Jinghan's back with his big hands. "Okay, don't cry, lady. Didn't your husband come back well? Look at you, it's finally sunny. If you cry again, be careful of flooding again."

Although it is not a life-and-death parting between two people, this feeling of fear makes them cherish the time they spend together.Zixuan waved his hands, telling the servants in the yard to do what they should do, then hugging Jinghan, the two of them entered the house.

Qian Shi and Chun Xing, hugging Qing Yuan and Qing Yao respectively, looked at the couple with smiles. "Okay, let's go to the front and let your parents stay for a while." Qian said to Qingyuan.

Although Qingyuan is young, he is very sensible, "Well, well, mother is crying, let daddy coax mother. Otherwise, my aunt and grandma can find two pieces of candy for my mother. Isn't my aunt and grandma like this when I cry before? Coax me?" On the immature face, there is a touch of seriousness that does not belong to this age, and the soft voice makes people feel much better when they hear it.Originally, Qingyuan should be called Aunt Qian's Grandma, but Jinghan thought it was too awkward, so it would be easier to speak better than her aunt, so Qingyuan and Qingyao called her Aunt Qian.

Mrs. Qian kissed Qingyuan, "Good boy, let's go find Tang later, and now go play with aunt and grandma for a while." Then, she hugged Qingyuan and left. Chun Xing hugged Qingyao, also Followed to the front yard.

In the room, Jinghan finally stopped crying, her arms were still around Zixuan's waist, she didn't intend to let go at all.

Zixuan was wiping Jinghan's face with a handkerchief in his hand. "She is the mother of two sons, and she loves to cry so much." Zixuan smiled while wiping.After the tears on his face were all wiped off, he held Jinghan's face and pressed his forehead against Jinghan's forehead, "Ma'am, it's my husband's fault. I didn't send you a letter, which made me worry. In the future No matter where I go, my husband will find a way to let the lady know about my husband's situation." Zixuan said in a low voice.

Jinghan shook her head, "A man should have his ambitions everywhere. A husband is a parent and a member of the common people, so how can he only care about the private relationship of his children? Jinghan knows it well, so these few days have not No one went to the riverside to look for you. I was just a little worried. Now that my husband is well, I couldn't control it for a while and cried. What should my husband do in the future, there is no need to worry about Jinghan. It's my little girl's." Jinghan said, feeling a little embarrassed, because she couldn't bear it just now, that's why she lost her composure.Now, the wisdom of the whole life may be ruined overnight.

Zixuan put his arms around Jinghan, and he couldn't help being moved when he heard the infinite affection in Jinghan's soft words.He lowered his head and kissed Jinghan's forehead lightly, then rolled his lips down, covering the delicate lips.

The two entangled for a long time before Zixuan let go of Jinghan, "If it wasn't for the broad daylight, I really want to have a good time with you." Zixuan's voice was full of obvious desire.

Jinghan raised her head and looked at Zixuan, Zixuan had obviously lost weight due to the exhaustion of the past few days.There are obvious bruises and blacks under the eyes, and it can be seen that he has not slept well in the past few days. "Look at you, your eyes are blurry. I'll ask the kitchen to make you some delicious food later, so you can make up for it." Jinghan caressed Zixuan's face distressedly.

Zixuan held Jinghan's hand, "Don't talk about me, haven't you lost weight too?"

The two leaned on each other like this, Zixuan whispered about the situation on the embankment, Jinghan listened without saying a word.

God seems to have really gone crazy enough. Since then, it hasn't rained anymore.Zixuan sent people to check everywhere in the county. Fortunately, the protective measures in various places were well done, and there was no breach of embankment.It's just that there is a lot of water in the ground, and it seems that it will take a few days to disappear.

Getting such news was already the best thing for Zixuan.The heart that has been hanging over the past few days is finally let go.This year's spring drought and summer flood, the crops in the field seem to have to reduce their production. Fortunately, Zhendong doesn't just pay for the food, as long as the leftover food is enough for the people to eat.

Zixuan gave these people in the yamen a few days off, and asked them to go home and have a good rest for a few days.Ziwen was very tired after following the busy schedule these days, but he was thinking about his family, so he told Zixuan that he wanted to go back and see his family.

Zixuan naturally agreed. Although he knew that his home was in a mountainous area, normal floods would not reach there, but without definite news, he was also worried.Furthermore, the situation here should also be known to the family, otherwise the family will be very worried.

So Zixuan sent Changxing to follow Ziwen and go home to report the letter.

Although the flood receded, the follow-up problems were not over.In the whole area of ​​Longzhou, due to the mountainous area in the east, the damage was slight.But from the middle to the west, there are plains, and except for the east of the town, the rest of the land is severely affected.

The prefect of Longzhou is now full of anger. It would be fine if the entire area under his jurisdiction suffered a disaster. This natural disaster cannot be avoided.However, nothing happened in the east of the town. The reason is that people took precautions when the spring began in Dongzhi County.In this way, isn't it showing his incompetence?
"Come here, send people to the east of the town to collect grain. Now the people everywhere are suffering, and the crops in the fields are also flooded, and the people can't even eat. Since there is nothing wrong in the east of the town, let's collect a batch of grain from there. Come here and use it for disaster relief." Such a reason should be considered very legitimate, right?
