"Looking at the drawings, the scale of the reservoir is not large. ”

Shao Guang is worthy of being a disciple of the Mo family who specializes in water conservancy, and the construction site he chose is excellent, and it seems that it has been carefully calculated.

He chose a pocket-shaped basin with deep terrain, large storage capacity, and considerable catchment area. There is also a natural "embankment" in this area, which only needs to dig out the reservoir and build an artificial river with a length of about 100 miles to divert the water of the tributaries of the Dongqing Mother River into the reservoir......

"It's true that the scale is not large, but if it is completed, the people of Shangyang County will not have to worry about drought and famine. ”

Jiang Pengji didn't respond easily this time, but frowned and calculated the gains and losses.

Nowadays, there are no blasting tools, let alone advanced siege equipment, and we can only rely on manpower, and it is really difficult to build a reservoir.

Money is not the problem, the point is that there are not enough people.

"This thing...... Let's put it aside for the time being...... Jiang Pengji said, "When you capture the northern frontier and have enough people, you will talk about it." ”

In the previous sentence, Wei Ci's heart was still a little heavy, and in the latter sentence, the smile on the corner of his lips could no longer be hidden.

Jiang Pengji said, "The kitchen has prepared a supper, you go and use some first, so as not to hurt your stomach." ”

Wei Ci's ears were red again, and he lowered his head to thank him for his grace.

Jiang Pengji asked coldly, "If it's already dark today, does Zixiao want to stay overnight?"

Wei Ci's hands trembled, and the porcelain bowl in his left hand almost fell on the dining table.

Without waiting for him to react further, she said, "The guest room has been empty, and if you stay, it will save you from running around." ”

Wei Ci's heart was relieved and politely rejected Jiang Pengji's kindness.

How to say that he is also a foreign man, if he stays here overnight, it will be bad for the reputation of the lord.

Wei Ci simply ate his meal, and hurriedly got up and retired, as if some terrible beast was chasing him behind him.

Jiang Pengji pinched her chin thoughtfully, looking at Wei Ci's distant back and thinking deeply.

"Does the advice given by those unreliable fellows really work?

She muttered to herself, her low voice blown away by the night wind.

On the second day, Wei Ci got up early in the morning.

Although he came back from Shangjing temporarily, he still habitually went to the government affairs office.

As soon as he arrived at the government affairs hall, Li Yun ran to him, and he looked very nervous, as if something big had happened.

Wei Ci didn't react in time, and was almost hit by Li Yun, but fortunately, the latter had good skills and braked immediately.

Otherwise, according to Wei Ci's physical fitness, don't be knocked away by Li Yun.

Wei Ci said with palpitations, "Hanmei, the Government Affairs Department is not allowed to travel quickly. If you surprise the lord, what can you do?"

Li Yun knew that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly apologized to Wei Ci, and without waiting for Wei Ci to answer, he hurriedly wanted to leave.

"Hanmei?"

Wei Ci was shocked and guessed that something big had happened around Li Yun.

Otherwise, how can the other party look like this?

Li Yun said in a panic, "I heard that a poisonous snake was mixed in the stable, and I was scared of Dabai." ”

Stables?

Mixed in with a venomous snake?

Wei Ci was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand the exact meaning of these words for a while.

A poisonous snake was mixed into the stable, what was Li Yun doing in such a panic, could it be that his beloved horse was bitten by a poisonous snake?

But...... Da Bai seems to be the lord's mount, and if he wants to panic, the lord is also panicking, where is the turn to get Li Yun?

Prompted by curiosity, Wei Ci stepped forward and asked Li Yun as he walked.

After careful questioning, I found out that the foal in the Great White Mansion had been promised to Li Yun by the lord, Li Yun was looking forward to the birth of the foal, and looked forward to it for several months.

The venomous snake had been caught, and the horses in the stable were not injured, but Dabai was frightened and seemed to be going to give birth prematurely.

Premature foals do not survive easily, and if they encounter a difficult mare, there is little hope of survival.

Li Yun had been looking forward to the foal for so long, and when he heard the news, he almost didn't cry.

Da Bai and Xiao Bai live in the same stable, but in order to take care of Da Bai, a pregnant woman who is about to give birth, Xiao Bai is assigned to another place by the groom. Xiaobai seemed to know Dabai's situation, and his mood was very anxious, changing his previous docile and shy, and kept rubbing the ground with his horse's hooves, trying to break through the fence. Anyway, it is also following the war horse that has been on the battlefield, Xiaobai is fierce, and the groom is in front of it, and his legs and stomachs are trembling.

Seeing Li Yun coming, the groom who took care of the two horses was so excited that he seemed to see a savior.

Although the stables are very clean, there is still some smell.

Li Yun has been dealing with horses all year round, and he doesn't care about these smells, and Wei Ci's face remains unchanged.

In the stable, Dabai lay on his side on the ground covered with soft hay, with a huge belly, a little sorrowful, and very uneasy to watch.

Seeing the stranger coming, Dabai kept scolding and whining, as if he wanted to stand up, and he could only lie down after trying hard for a long time.

Wei Ci said, "What's the use of you summoning Captain Li over for such a thing as a mare giving birth to a foal?"

I didn't go to prepare to deliver Dabai, and came to find Li Yun, who didn't understand, and delayed one corpse and two lives!

The groom was so anxious that he wanted to cry, not that he didn't want to deliver Dabai, it was obvious that Dabai and Xiaobai were too fierce and couldn't get close at all.

The lord is not here, he can only find Li Yun, no matter what he says, he must appease the mare first.

Wei Ci also found the groom's embarrassment after a little observation, and his brows couldn't help but tighten.

"Hanmei, you go and pull Xiaobai away, don't let it make trouble here. ”

Wei Ci asked the groom to fetch the shirt, and neatly tied the shirt, and fixed the wide sleeves, revealing two slender and white arms.

Animals are different from people, and communication is a problem.

Fortunately, Xiaobai is spiritual, and in the face of Li Yun, it can barely calm down, and when it is changed to a groom, where can it be suppressed?

"Dabai should be injured somewhere, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand up. Depending on the situation, it is still the first child, and if there is no external help, I am afraid that it will not be born. Wei Ci asked the groom to fetch hot water and scissors, and was about to enter the stable where Da Bai was, when the groom was so frightened that his soul was about to fly.

Dabai is extremely aggressive, Wei Ci will still have his life when he goes in?

The groom couldn't stop it, so he could only close his eyes in despair, for fear that Wei Ci would be gnawed to death by Dabai.

The result was unexpected, Da Bai, who was originally very aggressive, was extremely docile in front of Wei Ci, and would rub his arm from time to time.

The groom muttered, "Isn't this the lord's horse......?"

Why Mao is so close to Wei Ci?

"Bear with it, otherwise the child won't be born. ”

Wei Ci smoothed the white horse's mane, he was not too dirty, knelt on the ground covered with straw, washed his hands with warm water, and cleaned the horse's hair.

Li Yun felt that his three views were shattered, and he cautiously lay outside the fence, staring at Wei Ci's movements for a moment.

"Wait-Zixiao, you're still going to give birth?"

Wei Ci didn't answer, but just reached in, carefully finding out where the foal was and helping it get into position.

He not only knows how to deliver the baby, but also seriously asks many midwives for experience.

In the past, I have always practiced with mare or other animals, and I only practiced giving birth to people twice, which is also a very distant memory.
