I'm not a genius in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 104

"Tell the brothers, everyone who works tonight will come to me tomorrow to receive a hundred dollars. If the work is good and fast, I will also reward you."

Wang Zi'an looked at the sky, the clouds were low, and there was not even a breath of wind around, he couldn't help but feel a sinking heart, Uncle Gao and the others were not without reason, the rain would not stop for a while.He never thought that a common autumn rain could bring such a huge impact to this group of people struggling on the soil.In this era, this prosperous Tang Dynasty, which has made my blood surging countless times, is still too fragile.For the first time ever, he felt a little heavy in his heart.

With the return of Uncle Gao, Uncle Qi and others, Gao Laozhuang, which had fallen into silence, suddenly boiled up. Every household rarely lit up oil lamps, and the voices of calling for children and fathers kept coming and going.A few young people who worked with the construction team of the Shu Palace to install floor heating have become even more popular, but no matter how urgent you are and how close the relationship is, I can't set up my own home work, so I will do it for you first.

Just when everyone was restless and restless, Zhang Qiqiao came with dozens of people.Gao Laozhuang has a total of twenty or thirty households, and almost one family can accommodate two people, and everyone's urgent needs are solved at once.Not enough masonry for us?First remove the top of the wall at home, and even if the side room is removed, you must first tighten it here.If it was not enough, we moved it from the school building. It was to build a courtyard wall for the school, and it was brought over for use here.

Although it was raining, stepping on muddy water, and working in the field all day, the body was very tired, but no one complained of suffering or tiredness.Everyone knows what floor heating means.Now it is no longer a matter of heating in winter, it is saving lives, saving the lives of our own children, old parents, and old parents. Only when the crops in the field are safely collected can everyone survive.

They are all poor families, and there is really no big furniture in the house, so the house is vacated quickly, and the floor heating is also installed quickly.At dawn, almost a whole family had one or two rooms to warm up.Uncle Gao and Uncle Qi are the masters. There is one shop with land for three people in the family, and two shops for land with more than three people.

The rain was a little lighter, but it didn't clear up, and looking at the sky, it seemed that there was no sign of clearing up, but there was a glimmer of hope in everyone's tired eyes.Wang Zi'an was very satisfied, smiled and took out a silver coin and handed it to Zhang Qiqiao, Zhang Qiqiao was still waiting to decline, Wang Zi'an had already stuffed the silver into his hand without any explanation.

"Take it, it's not easy for brothers. After working hard all night, buy a glass of beer to relieve fatigue."

Zhang Qiqiao glanced at him gratefully. Although Wang Zi'an and our prince's face was there, and he came out to say hello, the brothers under him had to come over at night, but with the money, they would not let the brothers behind their backs. poke your own spine.

"My lord, we don't want money rewards, we just ask you to be kind enough to allow us to go back and install a floor heater like this for our own house..."

Before Wang Zi'an finished speaking, he heard several men kneeling on the ground next to him, pleading to him.Wang Zi'an was stunned, and dozens of men beside him knelt down.Wang Zian looked at the dozens of men kneeling on the mud, turned around, and pulled them up from the mud one by one.

"Everyone is holding this money, and everyone deserves it. I just ask you one thing here. After you go back, don't hide your secrets, and let the villagers around you learn a lesson and make a base. This year Yes, it’s not easy for everyone, if you can get back some crops in the field, just get back a little.”

"This is the way for our Gao Laozhuang to make money—"

As soon as a young man muttered something in a low voice, he was kicked to the mud by Mr. Gao and Mr. Hammer standing beside him.

"You bastard, what time is it, you still think about money and money every day, why don't you get into the eyes of money!"

The young man on the ground blushed, did not dare to speak up, and hid in the crowd in desperation.

Now is an extraordinary period, the sky is big and the earth is big, and there is nothing to grab the autumn grain.Wang Zi'an made the decision and directly gave everyone a holiday. They went back to their homes, warmed the floor, and grabbed autumn food.A group of men didn't even sleep in the cage, they packed their bags and went home in the rain.They are all from people near Chang'an City, so this road is nothing.

The old and young men in Gao Laozhuang did not sleep, and went down to harvest the crops with their bloodshot eyes.Taking advantage of the fact that the ground has not yet infiltrated, and can barely get down to the ground, try to grab another wave of harvest, but now it can only count as much as it can collect.

Wang Zi'an also followed with a bamboo hat, and when he walked into the field, he found that the large expanse of land had turned into a vast expanse of whiteness, and in the low-lying places, water had accumulated more than a foot deep.According to this trend, it won't be long before the land will become a vast ocean.He couldn't help frowning, stepped forward, took Uncle Gao's hand, and said loudly.

"Uncle, this is not the way to go. According to this method, the land will be infiltrated soon. At that time, people will not be able to enter the field, and the crops will not be harvested. We must immediately arrange manpower to dig a small ditch to drain the land. The water should be drained into the Qinghe River as soon as possible.”

Uncle Gao nodded, and went to look for Uncle Qi and several other elderly people. This matter cannot be solved by one person or two.

Soon the manpower was divided, and the male laborers in every household took the starting tools to pick apart the furrows between the fields, and first poured the water into the low-lying fields, and then slowly led it to the Qinghe River.As for the fields that the ditches pass through and the low-lying fields, after the autumn harvest, the village collectively compensates.At this point, no one can only care about their own one-third of an acre of land, no matter how painful it is, they have to endure it.

Fortunately, the fields on Gaolaozhuang's side are high in the north and low in the south, and everyone is willing to work hard. Before noon, a crooked, shallow ditch that can't be called a ditch has been opened up, and the water in the ground has begun. It faded away at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the expressions on the faces of the crowd were a little more relaxed. With this drainage channel to ease the situation, the soil in the field will not be soaked quickly, and it can save everyone two days of rush harvesting. time.

Many families didn't cook at noon, but just ate a cold corn bun with old pickles, drank a spoonful of cold water, and hurriedly went to the ground, and every second counted.

In the Hall of Liangyi, Li Shimin and several elders sat opposite each other, their expressions very solemn.

The autumn harvest was overcast and rainy, and the area affected was quite large, not only near Chang'an, but according to news from various places, Shandong, Henan, and Huainan had even heavier rains, and it had been raining for five or six days in a row. Not coming up, and the river is soaring, the three places are in emergency one after another, the imperial court has issued instructions yesterday, the officials of the three places have already stepped onto the embankment, patrolling day and night in the rain, not daring to neglect.

However, the rain is still falling and the river is still rising.

Shandong, Henan, and Huainan are in continuous emergency...
