Wangfu small peasant girl

Chapter 1440 Discussion
The weather here is much warmer, and I can clearly feel the change of the weather, and the sun is quite big.

It was still February, and it was still freezing around the capital at this time, but it turned out that the sun was shining brightly here, so it was enough to wear a layer of clothes under the sun, and it was better to wear thicker clothes when going back to a shady place.

After approaching Xinchuan, Xu Ruyue changed Chuyang into thin clothes, and she and Qinglang also dressed much lighter.

She really likes this kind of place with hot weather. In her previous life, she often traveled to Guangdong, she wore light clothes, she didn't need down jackets all year round, and there was a lot of food, it was her paradise.

I didn't expect that there would be such a place after I came here. If I didn't already have a home in Anhua Town, I really wanted to settle down here.

It was only an hour's journey away, but it was already noon, Xu Ruyue was afraid that Chuyang would be hungry, so she wanted to find an inn to have something to eat before continuing on her way.

They were about to leave after eating, and they didn't even ask for a private room. They sat down in the lobby and ordered a few dishes.

Chu Yang was indeed hungry at this time, sitting next to Xu Ruyue obediently playing with chopsticks, and did not run around.

As soon as they sat down, they heard the people next to them talking, "What do you think this year should be done in summer? I think it seems that there will be a flood this year."

After speaking, the man glanced outside and sighed, "The river here is so big, if there is a big flood, it won't flood many places."

"That's right." The person next to him kept sighing when he thought about it, "What if it's flooded, we people can't survive, there hasn't been a flood for many years, just think about it I was terrified by this.”

"Hey, it's all the yamen's fault. Those ordinary people insist on growing rice. I don't know that we can't grow rice in this place. If the gods in the river are angered, it's no wonder that there is no flood this year."

As soon as this was mentioned, the people at the next table also participated in the topic, "That's right, I don't know what the yamen thinks, we haven't grown rice here for many years, and because of this, it's like a convulsion this year. The common people grow rice, and those common people are open to money, and the yamen immediately agree to the money, without thinking about it, if they are flooded by floods, they will lose their lives by then, so what is the use of more money? "

"Oh, don't talk about it, don't talk about it, I am worried when I talk about it. This place has been in war for decades, but it has finally stabilized in recent years. Now I have to plant rice again. When there is a flood, I will put this place to rest. Once the place is flooded, the people will not be able to live.”

Xu Ruyue and Ming Lang were listening on the sidelines, feeling really uncomfortable.

Xu Ruyue almost stood up several times and went over to argue with those people, trying to reason with them, but she held back.

They should not be in the limelight in this place. Besides, people at this time believe in these supernatural things. No matter how much you tell him that the flood is caused by the weather and has nothing to do with growing rice, he will not listen.

That being the case, why bother to talk too much, if they stand up, they will be noticed instead.

So I can only listen to the whole process, even though I am unhappy, I can't say anything.

The food came out quickly. Xu Ruyue was still very hungry after driving all morning. The food in this restaurant was pretty good. The smell made her stomach growl twice.

Xiaorou hugged Chuyang to feed, Xu Ruyue ate quickly, and when she was full, she could take Xiaorou's place and let her eat too.

Fortunately, those few people stopped discussing this issue after talking for a while, otherwise the meal would not be clean.

After leaving and getting into the carriage, Chu Yang leaned against Xu Ruyue's arms and wanted to sleep. Xu Ruyue hugged him to coax him, and sighed, "Sir, why do you think the people here don't make sense? what relationship?"

Minglang smiled, "It's not that they don't accept it, it's just a matter of habit. No rice has been planted here for decades. In fact, for them, it is estimated that they have never experienced floods caused by planting rice."

"Just listening to what the old people said, I believed it was true. There will still be floods in the river without planting rice these years, but even so, they are unwilling to admit that flooding has nothing to do with planting rice."

This is indeed the case. Living by the river, how can there be no floods? I don’t know where the rumors came from, but the people here have believed it for decades.

The people I met in the inn today don't look like farmers, or else they wouldn't have said those words.

Xu Ruyue said, "Regardless of whether there will be floods this summer, we must prepare for flood control in advance, and we must actively stockpile food. Otherwise, if something happens, whether it is a rice problem or not, it will have to be attributed to this. Come from above, there will really be no way to grow rice in Xinchuan in the future, what a loss this must be, and it hurts when I think about it."

Sometimes, you understand the truth yourself, and you have the right to let people do this, but if the people resist, things really can't be done.

Take this matter as an example, it is going smoothly now, because the peasants have all nodded, if they are not willing to go to the Yamen, even if they are forced, there is nothing they can do.

If a few people came out to the capital to sue the imperial court, wouldn't it be in the emperor's arms, he originally wanted to seize the opportunity to punish Han Yuan, wouldn't this be a good time?
If there is really a flood this summer, causing corpses to litter the fields and people living in dire straits, the people I met in the inn just now will be the source of rumors, and they will definitely combine this incident with the decision of the Yamen this year. Will you still recognize it then?
Therefore, it is better to be prepared in advance than anything else. When the flood comes, we should control the water well and let the common people know that with the presence of the Yamen, no matter it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, they are guaranteed and will not ignore them.

As long as such trust is established, it will be easier to do other things in the future, and the people will obey the decisions of the Yamen.

Minglang put his arms around Xu Ruyue's waist, comforting her, "Okay, even if there is a flood this year, it's not now, it's still early, don't worry too much, I will discuss this matter with Dad."

"En." Xu Ruyue nodded, and leaned against Minglang with the child in her arms. She believed that as long as she worked hard, Xinchuan would definitely become better with their efforts.

The carriage was a little bumpy, and it was afternoon, and Xu Ruyue was a little sleepy after eating just now. Relying on Qingming, she fell asleep within a short while.

When she woke up, it was already here.
