Chapter 29: Ill-intentioned
"Looking at the weather, there will be no rain again. Zhu Minglang muttered to himself.
The mountains and forests have their own way of storing water, dense shrubs, thick soil, and leaves that are steamed by the sun, but the cities in the valleys are so arid that even the ground is a little cracked.
It's not that people don't have water to drink at all, it's that the fields and livestock don't have a lot of water, and it's about to be winter, and people need to stock up on some food.
Xiaobai is indeed very lazy, it obviously has wings, and it has just woken up from a long sleep, but it is not willing to fly in this wonderful mountain forest, just relying on Zhu Minglang's shoulder......
can be put on people, and resolutely do not take a step down by yourself.
Fortunately, the little guy is also light, and he has the virtue of having big black teeth, Zhu Minglang feels that he still has to change his career to be an armorer, and the industry of dragon herder is forgotten.
"There are cliffs in the valley ahead, which is not suitable for walking, you can look for and see what the road is. Zhu Minglang said to Bai Qi.
Bai Yi looked reluctant to leave this comfortable vehicle, and his little head came to Zhu Minglang's side face, and he was coquettish.
"You're lazy. Zhu Minglang couldn't cry or laugh.
Forget it, go find out for yourself.
Zhu Minglang bypassed the stream and found that the mountains and forests in front of him had risen in vain, and several places were so steep that there was no place to climb......
"Strange, how can there be road marks here?"
When Zhu Minglang bypassed the steep place, he found that the vines and thorns in the mountain forest had been cut open, and there was a clear path under his feet, just like the mountain road that a woodcutter had long entered the mountain.
With some doubts, Zhu Minglang walked to a high place along the road and found the location of the river according to his memory......
But the scene in front of him made Zhu Minglang stunned.
Embankment!
There was an embankment here, and it was at that steep point that the stream was cut off completely.
The water conservancy of the Zulong city-state is not very backward, and it stands to reason that it is normal for an embankment to appear in this kind of place.
The embankment stores water when the rain is abundant and releases water when it is dry, which is a normal water conservancy for farmland.
But behind this embankment, the water is as rich as a mountain lake, and there is no sign of drying up at all, and although there are not many streams in the high places, they are still continuously pouring into the embankment of this valley!
With the storage capacity of this water embankment, it can completely irrigate the dry fields of Ronggu City, and even feed the livestock, as long as the stone gate of the embankment is opened!!
"What's going on??" Zhu Minglang was a little dazed.
The young city lord clearly said that there was no water in Ronggu City, and there was a huge problem with irrigation and feeding, but this mountain embankment had enough water to store here, was this deliberately to make the common people face a crisis!
Zhu Minglang still had a good impression of the young city lord, he was neither humble nor arrogant when facing the dragon herder, he was methodical in his statement, and he even thought of some of the harms caused by the rain at night......
It's just that seeing this full reservoir, seeing the tightly locked sluice, and seeing the pitiful little spring flowing into the mountain field grassland, Zhu Minglang felt disgusted and disappointed with the young city lord!
The water overflows, but it does not let go.
The suffering of the people is turned a blind eye.
Ill-intentioned!
......
Returning along the way, Zhu Minglang's mood was a little heavy.
Although he has no ambitions, he can't see this kind of ugly bureaucratic behavior, so it's better to inform Teacher Duan Lan of this matter as soon as possible.
In such a comparison, Teacher Duan Lan is a truly merciful person, and he doesn't mind flying thousands of miles to Ronggu City in the east, just for a rain that is not beneficial to himself, and also erects a valuable concept for the Dragon Shepherd students that "those who have the ability should benefit the toiling sentient beings".
......
At noon, the bright light is like a whip on all things, the fruit groves are decaying, and the fields are dry and cracked, obviously bringing people enough heat in this autumn, but making people even more chilled.
The temperature difference between day and night was very great, and Zhu Minglang was already a little sweaty when he returned to Ronggu City, he walked along the street to the mansion, and saw that there were vendors on the road hurriedly packing up their things, and his expression was a little panicked.
When he arrived at the house, Zhu Minglang didn't see the teacher and classmates, thinking that they had arrived at the roof of the sacrifice, so he asked the people in the house for the road, and walked towards the roof of the sacrifice.
As soon as he went out, a person came to him, and he saw Zhu Minglang as if he had been looking for it, and his expression was a little strange.
"But Brother Zhu?" the man said with a deep bow.
Zhu Minglang looked at him, but didn't say anything.
This person was none other than the young city lord, Zheng Yu.
Zheng Yu stood in front of Zhu Minglang and maintained a bowing posture, which made Zhu Minglang think of something for a while, and his expression became vigilant, and he was ready to let Bai Yi make a move at any time.
"I heard that Brother Zhu has gone to the upper reaches of the valley, may I ask Brother Zhu if you have ever seen the embankment?" Zheng Yu then asked.
"See. "Zhu Minglang is ready.
"But do you want to inform Senior Commander Duan Lan and Senior Commander Kebei?" Zheng Yu asked again, his tone still the same.
"What do you have to say? "Zhu Minglang is ready to do it.
"Brother Zhu, don't misunderstand, Zheng Yu is just a weak scholar, and he doesn't understand the way of herding dragons, and he won't have any bad thoughts about Brother Zhu, but before Brother Zhu wants to inform the two division commanders, can you listen to the next few words, if Brother Zhu still wants to inform the people of my Zheng Yu's scandal and inform the division commander, I will never stop it, and I am willing to be punished. Zheng Yu stood up, with a bit of sincerity on his face.
Zhu Minglang glanced at the sky.
It was cloudless just now, but at this moment, it was already covered by a black group, and I don't know if it was because the sky changed again, or if Teacher Duan Lan's Canglong Occult Technique was already being performed.
Not so hot, but a little dreary at first.
"Then the lord of the city, please speak. "Zhu Minglang is not in a hurry, everyone has said this.
"Brother Zhu, do you know about Wutu, do you know that the soldiers fifty miles away are fighting with the Wutu mob?" Zheng Yu said.
"Yes. Zhu Minglang nodded.
Wutu, where there are its own good memories...... A fond memory of planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms.
"Brother Zhu is also a wise man, so what does Brother Zhu think of this war?" asked Zheng Yu.
"I just listen to you. Zhu Minglang said lightly, but he still had another opinion on Zheng Yu in his heart.
This man's behavior is disgusting, his eyes are fine, and he is very different from a small vendor in Qiaotou.
