Chapter 61: The Levee

This is a high embankment, and it is a feeling of trekking through mountains and rivers when you follow your senior brother to go up slowly. When I finally reached the top of the dam, my eyes opened up.

Below is a wide river, which looks like a long white ribbon flowing on the ground from a distance, and there is no end to sight of the river.

A hazy mist rises on the surface of the river, making the whole river belt appear mysterious and quiet.

Qin Muqing said: "Ling'er, look. ”

Following the senior brother's gaze, a few fiery red clouds appeared in the sky, and then the surrounding area became more and more red. The sun rises from below with a gentle glow, and the speed of the rise can be seen clearly.

Qin Leling couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart, Xiaoxiang Valley is surrounded by mountains, no matter how early you get up, there has never been such a magnificent scenery.

Xiaoli's eyes were moist with happiness, and once a long, long time ago, her brother took her to get up early in the morning, climb the highest dirt slope in the village, and watch the rising sun slowly rise. She never knew that the rising sun was so soft and beautiful, dancing on her brother's neck.

Later, I worked as a maid in a big family, and although I got up very early every day, I never saw such a beautiful sun again.

"Pear, what's wrong with you?" Qin Leling asked.

Xiaoli wiped her eyes, "This kind of sun, my brother also showed me before." ”

Knowing that Xiao Li sees things and thinks about people, Qin Leling grabbed her shoulders and said easily: "We will always look for Xiao Li's family, and until we find our family, the senior brother is Xiao Li's brother." Brother, right? ”

Qin Muqing nodded, Xiao Li blushed a little, "Childe is childe, how can it be brother." ”

"Yes, senior brother is not as good as Xiao Li's brother."

"No, no, the son is very good, but the son is the son, and you can't mess with the rules." Pear was in a hurry to explain.

Seeing that Xiao Li's anxious little face turned even redder, Qin Leling stopped teasing her, "I know, my little pear knows the rules best." ”

Looking at this great sun, Qin Leling felt that he should make a poem or something, and he couldn't live up to this great sun. But she was only a shallow learner, and she really couldn't think of any elegant language, so she could only watch the sun rise higher and higher.

The sun is already shining, the mist on the river has dissipated, and the temperature is gradually rising. Qin Leling took a cloak to cover his head, and he really didn't have fun admiring this light again, "Senior brother, what's next?" "You can't see the sun for a day.

I didn't expect my junior sister to have any profound feelings, Qin Muqing said, "Let's go back." ”

Back in the carriage, Xiao Li took out a food box, of course, it was prepared by Qin Muqing, and Qin Leling praised the preparation so complete.

During the meal, the river that Qin Muqing had just done was called the Bai River, which belonged to a branch of the Pujiang River, and there were more than ten branches like the Bai River. The river network in Qingzhou is dense, and there are nearly ten rivers as big as the Pujiang River, which finally cross and converge and flow into the sea in the east.

Qin Leling is embarrassed, a white river is so big, what a magnificent method is the Pujiang River, and there are nearly ten such rivers in Qingzhou! It's a treasure of wind and water, but too much water can turn into a disaster.

After eating, they walked along the embankment for more than ten miles, got out of the car, and Qin Muqing took them to a place, "Do you think there is any difference here?" ”

Looking along the embankment, the color here is different from the front and back, as if it is connected, and the middle is more than ten meters connected to the front and back.

"It's newly built." Xiao Li wondered, but shouldn't the embankment be built together?

Qin Leling said: "This place was washed away by the flood and rebuilt. ”

Qin Muqing nodded: "In order to prevent flooding, high dikes will be built next to big rivers like the White River, and the rising water dikes will firmly block the water every summer. If the levees are not strong enough, the consequences can be imagined. ”

Looking at this long embankment, Qin Muqing said again: "These **** have seen a lot of long rivers, and found that many embankments have traces of breakage, and some distant states and counties will not even have time to repair them." ”

In the past few days, Qin Leling has also heard a little about Qingzhou. Qingzhou is located in the main traffic artery, and has always been a battleground for soldiers. The imperial court attaches great importance to it, and every year it allocates huge sums of money to repair the river and strengthen the embankment. But...... It doesn't seem to have much effect.

"Senior brother suspects ......"

Qin Leling didn't finish speaking, Qin Muqing nodded with a smile.

In the afternoon, Qin Leling pulled Zhang Jun, who had been busy investigating, to the river embankment, and Zhang Jun was very impatient: "Qin Leling, what are you bringing me here for?" ”

He was angry at Shi Yuejiu's place in the morning, and was forcibly dragged to this deserted place by Qin Leling in the afternoon, of course, Chu Jingxi came with him, and Zhang Jun was in a very unhappy mood.

In the morning, Zhang Jun asked Shi Yuejiu, the assassin of Qingzhou, to hand over the account book of rice and silver for disaster relief in recent years, and to distribute the account book of disaster money to various counties, and Shi Yuejiu actually gave him a room.

Zhang Jun rummaged through the ledgers in the room all morning, but he couldn't find a single one related to the disaster payment. There are a lot of messy expenses, even the expenses of tea money and government sweeping, and the funds are so tight, as if the public salary given by the imperial court is not enough.

Shi Yuejiu said that there were still several rooms in the account book, and those who could help were sent out to provide disaster relief, so he was busy with official business, so he bothered Zhang Jun to find it himself.

Seeing that Qin Leling was silent, Zhang Jun said, "Hurry up." ”

After saying that, he went back and continued to check the accounts. As soon as he thought of those few rooms of ledgers, he felt that the burden on his body was very heavy, and the cunning Lord Shi dared to embarrass him, and he had to find out the handle for him.

What kind of attitude is this, Qin Leling pointed to the high embankment and said, "Go up." ”

"What are you going up there for?"

"You'll know when you go."

After Qin Leling finished speaking, he walked straight up, Zhang Jun had no choice but to follow, and the shadow-like Chu Jingxi also followed curiously.

Today is a cloudy day, and the breeze blows non-stop while standing on the embankment. After staying for half an hour, Zhang Jun didn't realize what he could do when he came up, and finally couldn't help but say, "What are you doing when you come up?" ”

Qin Leling smiled: "It's nothing, seeing that you are in a hurry, I will bring you up to blow the wind and defeat the fire." Doesn't it feel better? ”

“……”

Zhang Jun only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he just wanted to jump off the embankment. This witch is his amusement, and he shouldn't have come with her!

"Huh-"

Chu Jingxi on the side finally couldn't hold back and laughed out loud. Xiao Jun'er's expression is so funny, his little Jun'er is always so cute when he gets angry.

Zhang Jun gave Chu Jingxi a murderous look, and this guy also said that he was helping him investigate, just to see his jokes. In the morning, he looked for the account book, and Chu Jingxi was drinking tea on the side to watch him look for it.

Now Zhang Jun walked back disheartened, and he really felt a little angry.

Chu Jingxi grabbed Zhang Jun, "Don't go yet, if our little Jun'er is teased in vain like this, this king will not follow." ”

Cut, Zhang Jun snorted coldly, and looked away awkwardly.

"Miss Qin, what are you bringing us here for?" Chu Jingxi asked.
