Chapter 939: Eve
But Xiao Zheng, who said that Liang Mu screamed as Lord Xiao, was in a very complicated mood, although he subconsciously retorted, but he didn't blame it at all, just telling the truth.
Liang Mu smiled a little deeply when he heard this, and when he saw Xiao Zheng looking at him suspiciously, he explained with a solemn face: "This voice will be in a few days, and the lower officials will be able to call out in front of the public." ”
Xiao Zheng was surprised for a moment when he heard this, and then ecstasy and understanding flashed in his eyes, but when he blinked his eyelids, there were hot tears in his eyes, regardless of Liang Mu on the side, Xiao Zheng immediately knelt down facing the west, kowtowed three times in a row, until his forehead was red and swollen, and then he said
"The Xiao family was rescued by his son, so he was able to be saved, his wife and children are healthy, his daughter is safe, Xiao Zheng has been able to return to his post, he can continue to do something for this party Liming, Wanen, thank you......"
Behind him, Liang Mu looked at this scene, and felt quite touched in his heart, stepped forward to help Xiao Zheng, and saw him wipe the dust on his forehead casually, and said in high spirits
"If a disaster falls from heaven, the people are innocent, and the emperor is unkind, then we, the parents, must take responsibility and take on the task of pacifying and relocating the people.
I'm limited in my ability alone, but all of us together can definitely change the current situation, Brother Liang, please help me..."
Xiao Zheng's righteous face was glowing with excitement at the moment, and there were faint tears in his tiger eyes, and although his hands were clenched weakly, they were stretched with green tendons.
Liang Mu turned his head to look at the west, then looked at the east, and finally pulled up the lip flap that was rising from the false fire to reveal a smile, and nodded, "It should be..."
...........................
Not to mention what Xiao Zheng and Liang Mu in Surabaya City want to do for the people, just say that all parts of the Northern Regions have received a lot of news promulgated by the imperial court, among which the emperor's selection of concubines and frequent extravagant banquets during this period are also on it, but everything on that piece of paper is just a statement of singing merit and praising virtue.
This splendid woman and the uncultivated girls picked all the edible things in the mountains, and the innocent took a group of young men to protect the women and children while setting traps and hunting.
A group of people go in the morning, return at sunset, at noon is just to eat some of the dry food brought by their own stomach pads, at the end of the day there is also a lot of harvest, although everyone is happy, but looking at the more and more dry and hard land, no one is not choked.
At the foot of Mangshan Mountain, the wild vegetables and fruits that were transported down were taken to the village grain drying field to be classified and dried, and it was the old and young who did these things.
The old ones are those men and women who are forty-five years old, and the young ones are those who are under ten years old.
When Jinxiu and Wuxian went down the mountain, the bamboo basket behind them and the bamboo basket they carried in the crook of their arms were filled with some relatively rare things that were picked out by Jinxiu, and no one even found them in the northern region.
The first sight of a group of people returning down the mountain with a full load was the deep pit dug in the left corner of the west city gate, with a depth of about one zhang and an area of about one acre, which was the result of all the labor of Qingniu Village and the manpower brought by Chen Jiangliu for a day's hard work.
Jinxiu walked two steps away from the team, and when she saw the dug cistern, she couldn't help frowning, it was such a slight movement, and she was seen by Chen Jiangliu, who had just paid attention to her.
"Brother Jin, why are you frowning? But what's wrong with this reservoir?" Chen Jiangliu didn't regard himself as an official, now he was dressed neatly and energetically, his face was full of sweat, and if he didn't know just by looking at his style, he would definitely not think that he was a parent official.
When the words fell, he walked towards Jinxiu step by step from the pit, and while walking, he pulled his sleeves and wiped the sweat dripping down his head, and the dust and soil on his sleeves were stained with the sweat on his face, which successfully made him a face full of flowers, so that the Wuxian who followed Jinxiu laughed when they saw it.
It was Jinxiu, who was in a gloomy mood just now, shook his head and smiled when he saw it, "You, you, who would believe you if you are the parent official of this place just like you?"
But I didn't want this hand to be intercepted by Wuxian as soon as he stretched it halfway, although the young man's face was not very good-looking, but Wuxian still handed over his handkerchief, and said in an accentuated tone, "Use mine." ”
Jinxiu was helpless when he heard this, but obediently put away the handkerchief and walked to the side of the reservoir to twist a handful of soil with his hand and studied it, but Chen Jiangliu in this room took the handkerchief with a helpless face, and seriously wiped his face and did not forget to say thank you.
"Brother Jin, you haven't said that you frowned just now, but what's wrong with this cistern?" Tsai carefully folded the handkerchief and put it in his sleeve pocket, Chen Jiangliu still remembered the scene where Fang Cai frowned, that is, Wuxian followed behind him, he still gritted his teeth and insisted on asking.
"It's not that there is a problem with this reservoir, but this drought is not far away, you see this soil layer, there is no water above three feet, and it is only a little moist below three feet, according to this situation, there will be ten and a half days, not to mention that the crops in the field can no longer grow, even the depth of the well water will gradually sink....."
With Jinxiu's words, everyone's faces became very ugly, Chen Jiangliu was a little stunned, he thought that he would have enough time to prepare to deal with it, but he didn't want to....
"Lord Chen, this matter can't wait any longer, I must tell everyone that I know, almost everyone in the neighboring villages knows, and there are still ..... in the town" The old village chief's voice was a little rough, as dry as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.
Chen Jiangliu suddenly came back to his senses, and subconsciously turned his inquiring gaze to Jinxiu, "Brother Jin, this ....."
Jinxiu lamented in her heart, but she still threw away the sand in her hand, got up and looked at Chen Jiangliu, "Brother Chen, if you don't want to come out, just say, now it has not rained for more than a month west of Surabaya City, the land is dry and cracked, the crops in the field are yellow, and there is already a big drought...... Will help!"
Hearing Jinxiu's words, Chen Jianglu was overjoyed, and he didn't care about a lot, so he bowed down to Jinxiu and thanked him, "Brother Jin, everything is entrusted to you...."
Jinxiu turned around and picked up the bamboo basket and waved her hand, but she didn't say a word, she was not a wicked person, but she was not a saint, she did what she could.
The villagers behind him accelerated their work, Chen Jiangliu began to arrange the next tasks, and the old village chief listened to the villagers report today's results, on the eve of this disaster, everything was going on in a steady and orderly manner.
Chen Jiangliu thought that everything would go much smoother with Jinxiu's nod, but he never imagined that it would bring such a big turmoil to the court in the Northern Regions..... ,
