Zhao Zi'an asked to go to sea at this time, and the main purpose was to help Zhang Ji transfer his property.

Zhang Xing wanted to transfer the belongings of Zhang Ji Grain Store to other places, such as the Wei family or the Yun family, before the Shen family came to the door, but it was not very safe to transfer to these two families. As long as someone is suspicious, it is easy to find out the two of them.

And it was much safer to hand it over to Zhao Zi'an to bring it out in the name of going to sea.

After the matter was agreed, Zhang Xing handed over the matter to Zhao Zixing and Zhao Zi'an.

There was not much food in the bright place, and in less than a month, Zhao Zi'an's fleet set sail for the sea.

The news that Anyang was taken by the Shen family has spread all over the streets and alleys, and this news has made the people of Yuxian County very lively, but the subsequent Yuyang embankment burst quickly diluted the excitement.

Yuyang is too close to Yu'an. Zhang Xing was worried that the big water would come to Quantang Town, so he wanted to go over and take a look.

Wei Minwu stopped and refused: "Brother Xi is still so young, how can I leave you? ”

Zhang Xing shook her head, "This is the first time we have planted kapok, we can't be sloppy, let's go." Although Wei Minwu grew up in the countryside, he left home at a young age and did not know about farming.

In fact, not only him, but others may not know as much about Kapok as she does.

Zhang Jinbao is also going, "I'll go." He said, "I heard Jin Lian say that my father-in-law's old cold leg has committed it again, and I just happened to go and see it." ”

"You can't either. Zhang Xing said, "Jin Lian has a body, you have to stay home with her." ”

Li Jinlian has been diagnosed and pregnant for more than two months, she has always been healthy, but this pregnancy is not very good, what to eat and vomit, and she looks a lot thinner than before marriage.

Ye Hexiang is a difficult person, and she doesn't like to speak, she already has an opinion about Zhang Jinbao marrying Li Jinlian, but in the past few days, she has seen that Li Jinlian has become a little squeamish, and she can't help but say how she was able to do it when she was pregnant with Jinbao before, and everyone understands the implication.

Pregnant women are already more sensitive than usual, and Li Jinlian is even more so. Zhang Xing was worried that if Zhang Jinbao left home, Ye Hexiang was afraid that she would get worse.

Of course, she could take Li Jinlian to Wutong Lane when Zhang Jinbao left. But what Li Jinlian needs most at this time is not her.

Wei Minwu frowned and looked at Zhang Jinbao. He originally felt that apart from him and Zhang Xing, Zhang Jinbao was the most suitable. Now it seems that Zhang Jinbao really can't leave home.

"If you want to worry, let Master He go with me. Zhang Xing said, "Let my sister-in-law help take care of Brother Xi these days." ”

Wei Minwu hesitated. Anyang's side has basically settled down, and the spies of the Ma Gang have inquired about the news, and the Shen family does have plans to set up a big treasure there. Wei Minwen is not at home, and there must be someone to guard Yuxian here.

If the Shen family is proclaimed emperor in Anyang, the reaction of other forces, Yuxian must be able to respond quickly.

The industry of the three of them is not only in Jianghuai.

"Besides, since the Shen family has the intention of becoming emperor in Anyang, they will not let the flooding of the Huai River continue to expand. Zhang Xing said again.

It was the first time Zhang Jinbao heard Zhang Xing say this, and he was surprised: "Marquis Zhongyong wants to be the emperor in Anyang?"

Wei Minwu and Zhang Xing both looked at Zhang Jinbao, Zhang Xing knew in her heart that this matter should not be hidden for a long time, but she still said to Zhang Jinbao: "This is just my guess with your second brother, I can't do it, even if you listen to it, don't talk about it to others." ”

Zhang Jinbao nodded hurriedly, "Sister, I know." ”

Wei Minwu finally nodded.

On the second day, Zhang Xing sent Li Xi to the Wei family, accompanied by You's mother Xia Zhi and others, because Sun Baozhu was going to go together, Sun Nian also stayed and followed Li Xi to the Wei family.

Li Xi and Sun Nian are only a month apart, and the two of them are already very familiar with each other.

Li Xi knew that Zhang Xing was going back to Quantang Town, although he was reluctant to let Zhang Xing leave, but he was very sensible and didn't cry, only red eyes, hugged Zhang Xing's neck, and said, "Mother, come back quickly." ”

Zhang Xing kissed her son, nodded and said, "The mother will come back soon, Brother Xi wants to listen to the words of the eldest uncle." ”

Say goodbye to Li Xi, Zhang Xing will go on the road. When passing through Zhanghe Town, they met the displaced people from Yuyang, He An took the initiative to inquire about the news, and came back and said: "Madam, I heard that the water level in Yu'an is not low, but the newly appointed Yao County Commander in Yu'an loves the people very much, and after May, he has gone up to the embankment, eating and living with the villagers on the embankment, and they have also strengthened several critical river sections." ”

Zhang Xing had heard a lot in the carriage, some of the displaced people from Yuyang said that Yu'an could hold it, and some said that Yu'an couldn't hold it for a few days, and there were different opinions.

Zhang Xing has experienced two major flood years, and he has no confidence in whether Yu'an can hold on.

After the Shen family took Jianghuai, the officials of Jianghuai counties also changed a lot, except for the officials in Yuxian County and Jin'an, almost all of them changed. The county commanders of Yuyang and Yu'an are all locals, the county commanders of Yuyang are newly appointed, and Yu'an is promoted from the original old county.

At the beginning of the year, Zhang Ji was going to plant kapok in a large area in Quantang Town, but the Yao County Commander was not optimistic, and said that Zhang Ji's move would cost the people and money. Zhao Zixing made a special trip to Yu'an, met with Yao County Ling, and said that after Zhang Ji not only packed seeds and harvested them, but also gave subsidies to every farmer who planted kapok, Yao County Ling did not prevent other farmers from planting kapok.

After passing through the town of Zhanghe, I gradually saw flooded fields, most of which were submerged in water.

"Madam, there is Quantang Town in front. He An said.

Zhang Xing had already seen it. The terrain of Quantang Town is much lower than that of Zhanghe Town, and after entering Quantang Town, she saw that a large area of land was not under the water, and her heart became even heavier. The carriage entered Lizhuang Village, and the waterlogging situation improved somewhat.

Zhang Xing knew that it was the canal they dug last year that played a role, diverting waterlogged water into the canal. But these canals can still do some work against waterlogging, and if the embankments are broken, they are useless.

After their carriage entered the village, it was reported to Li Dahe, the village leader, by the people at the head of the village. Li Dahe was still in the field and did not come back, so Li You hurriedly asked people to call.

After Zhang Xing arrived at Li Dahe's house, Li Dahe just arrived home. After entering the house, Li Youshi had to arrange food and drink. Zhang Xing waved his hand and said, "Uncle Dahe will take me to the field to have a look." ”

Li Dahe and his wife knew that Zhang Xing would definitely not be able to sit still when they saw this situation in the village, and they did not refuse, they nodded directly and promised, Li Dahe shouted: "Why don't you bring clogs?"

Li Youshi took a pair of brand-new clogs, and He An hurriedly took them. Li Dahe took Zhang Xing to the back field, and some people in the village knew that Zhang Ji was coming, and they all surrounded him.

Zhang Xing greeted the acquaintances one by one, and asked Li Dahe how the water level of the Huai River is?

Li Dahe shook his head, "It's dangerous." About a dozen people in our village have been pumped up to the embankment. ”

Every year during the flood season, when the water level is high, the villages on the edge of the Huai River will be drawn to patrol the embankment, Zhang Xing's father Zhang Shuisheng has been drawn before, and almost every family will be wheeled on this matter. Li Dahe in Lizhuang Village is a village leader, so he did not go up to the embankment.

Zhang Xing stood on the head of the bridge at the end of the village, the river under the bridge had already overflowed to the road, and several bridge holes were long gone.

Li Dahe said: "If the water rises again, this bridge will not be able to go." ”

Zhang Xing changed the clogs, crossed the bridge, and there was a large area of kapok field, the water had filled the surrounding canals, and the water in the low-lying areas had overflowed, flooding most of the kapok that was already high as an adult's calf.

Zhang Xing's impression is that kapok grows on dry land, which has been flooded, and if the kapok can't be drained out immediately, this year's flowers will definitely not bear fruit.

"If we hadn't dug a ditch last year, this area would have been flooded. Li Dahe said. He knew that Zhang Xing had high expectations for this piece of kapok, so he attached great importance to planting and transplanting, and was doing it strictly according to what she said.

The terrain in the nearby villages is not high, and they don't know where to drain the water, but fortunately they dug the canal last year, otherwise they would have been like other nearby villages, and this year there will be no harvest.

The water in the canals was full, and although the fields were not overflowing, the land was so humid that some of the kapok had wilted.

After Zhang Xing walked a few pieces of land, he was ready to go to the river embankment to have a look. Almost all of the people who came together planted kapok, and one of them asked, "Xing'er, if we don't have a single flower in the field, will the chapter also give a subsidy?"

Zhang Xing nodded: "Of course." ”

The villagers, who were originally a little apprehensive, immediately burst into laughter. It seems that this kapok is planted right. This year's water is so big, no matter what they plant, almost all of them have been affected, and they still have some subsidies for planting kapok, and they can only cry for others when they plant others.

Zhang Xing looked at their faces, but felt uncomfortable in her heart. How hard the days must be, so that their expectations are so low, as long as they can live, as long as they have something to eat, they will be satisfied.

When he arrived at the top of the embankment, He An was startled, "Such a big water!"

Zhang Xing was silent, she had seen such a big water several times,

After walking along the embankment for a while, they met the patroller. Li Dahe hurriedly went over to say hello.

The two people who patrolled the embankment were from the next village, and when they heard that it was the owner of Zhangji, they hurriedly came over to greet and talk. After greeting him, he cautiously asked, "Boss, do you still count what you said?" Regardless of whether the kapok in this field can blossom and bear fruit, you will give money?"

Li Dahe patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry!"

Zhang Xing smiled and said: "Our chapter is naturally talking, but if it is planted and the flowers are picked, not only will the subsidy be paid, but the flowers will be charged at a high price by our chapters." ”

The peasant households have long heard Li Dahe and others say that with regard to the harvest of kapok, if one acre of land is planted well, it can be several hundred catties larger, and if it is exchanged for silver in Zhangji, it will be much higher than planting other incomes.

When the man got the right words, he was also happy, pointed to the river embankment and said, "The river section ahead is being repaired, and I'm afraid you won't be able to get through." ”

It's not a few miles away from Lizhuang Village, and Li Dahe hurriedly asked, "Is something wrong?"

The farmer who patrolled the river said: "The river section over there was cut down last year, the soil was looser, and a small hole appeared. ”

Li Dahe said to Zhang Xing: "Xing'er, you have to go back first." ”

He An also persuaded: "Madam, let's go." ”

He An is a northerner, and he has never seen such a big water, so he has already been a little drumming in his heart. Although he has good water quality and his skills are not bad, but he really encountered a big flood, no matter how good the water is, it is difficult to guarantee that he will be fine. When they went out, they had already told them that all things should be safe.

Zhang Xing shook his head and said, "I'll go over and take a look too." ”

It's all her ground, and if she doesn't look at it, she doesn't feel at ease.

Li Dahe, He An and others couldn't persuade them, so they had to take Zhang Xing and continue to walk along the embankment. After walking about two pillars of incense, they saw the river workers rushing to repair.

The opening was about a man wide and half a man high, and the rivermen were filling it with earth. However, the river was so strong that the soil was washed away after a short time, and some people cut down trees from somewhere, and they were on both sides of the mouth, barely stopping the dam from continuing.

"Alright, alright, blocked, blocked. The rivermen cried.

Yao Xian Ling stood not far away, commanding: "Fill in the soil again!"

The earth had been brought and filled in, and it was about to be filled in to the embankment of the river, when the tree suddenly broke into two knots, and the mouth was washed open again, and almost instantly, the embankments on both sides of the mouth fell.

"Oh no, it can't be blocked, it's about to burst!" someone shouted.

Yao Xianling's eyes widened as he looked at him, and his face turned white with fright.

A brave riverman jumped into the mouth and shouted, "Fill in the earth!

Because of the obstruction, the river poured down a little more slowly, and when the river workers saw this, two more people jumped.

Li Dahe said anxiously: "Xing'er, you go quickly." ”

He had seen a river embankment burst, and it would be impossible to stop it as long as there were two or three people missing.

Zhang Xing grabbed Li Dahe and said, "Uncle Dahe, you go and ask Yao County Order, if there is a sack nearby, quickly bring it, put soil on it and fill it in the mouth." After a pause, she said, "If there is no one for a while, let everyone take off their clothes and wrap the soil and fill the hole!"

Li Dahe didn't want to turn around for a while, He An took off his coat, wrapped a bag of wet mud, grabbed Li Dahe and came over.

When he reached the edge of the mouth, he jumped down with the soil in his arms, and shouted: "If there is a sack, hurry up and use the sack to fill the mud, and if you can't find the sack, wrap it in your clothes, quick!"

Li Dahe told Zhang Xing's words to Yao County Order, and Yao County Order quickly understood. The loose soil can't be stopped, but the bags of dirt have a weight and won't be washed away so easily.

"Quick! go get a sack from the shed!"
