154. Kill two birds with one stone
Hearing Ying Yanlian's low tone (he was self-righteous), the adult's nostrils turned even more upward.
"Hmph, such a thing can be done by saying it," the official was about to make a big statement, but was interrupted by a cold angry shout.
"Since you can't do it, then please shut up!" I have long known that these people don't have them, and I still want to try, and I deserve to be ridiculed.
"You ......," the annoyed man stood up violently, stretched out his hand and pointed at the woman in front of him, who did not know the height of the sky, and wanted to scold angrily, but they just stared at him coldly, and he found that his tongue had been caught, and he could not scold a word.
"This little lady, it's not that Lord Zhou is arrogant, but this water conservancy matter, after all, it's not simple, and this is ...... God's troubles," finally there is a person who wants to bow his head and wants to talk to Yan Lian in a good voice, but people may not like it.
"What about this lord?" The tone is still lukewarm.
"It's better to wait for the rain to light up, and then go to investigate, if it really doesn't work, you can only wait until the rain stops," the adult said in a calm tone, feeling that he would not be wrong when he said so.
In the past, when this happened, they solved it like this - what they could solve, that was their ability. If it can't be solved, it's God doesn't appreciate face, what can be done.
It's a pity that this time, they are destined to kick the iron plate.
"Then according to the meaning of the adults, don't save the early rice in the field, as long as the rain stops, and the adults leave a sentence that the rain is too strong and there is nothing they can do, and then after eating and drinking, pat their butts and leave?" Yan Lian asked gloomily.
Although I have a little eyebrows in my heart, I can't control the anger in my heart when I really listen to them say it.
"Yan Lian, this spring rain is too big, no one can do anything," the village chief said worriedly.
"Like, do you think you can do it by talking about it?" With the help of the village chief, the arrogant people just now were even more nervous.
The whole room looked at Yan Lian, and she didn't even frown, let alone be timid. "Village chief, father, fourth uncle, although this spring rain is menacing, it is not without a way to deal with it, if you listen to the words of these adults who are afraid of death and come to deal with it, today's grain in our Guquan Village will really not be harvested, everyone will wait and cry!"
When everyone heard this, some were surprised, some were angry, and some were even more curious.
This surprise is naturally a farmer such as the village chief. It is the self-righteous officials who are angry. As for the curious, it is Beichen Ao. Because he heard Yan Lian say last night that she didn't understand water conservancy.
"It's light, hum, you're so ashamed, okay, you say, what should I do now?" The adults who hold their hands wherever they go are really sad and sad this time.
Forget it if they are not held by others, and they are looked down upon by a country woman, isn't this a slap in the face?
"Do you want to know about the Dao?" Yan Lian raised her eyebrows and asked maliciously.
If she knew her, she would definitely not nod, but unfortunately, those adults were full of resentment towards her, so as soon as she asked this, she immediately nodded as a matter of course.
Watch the show! This is Beichen's proud mind.
Sure enough, after everyone listened to Yan Lian's words, the village chief and the others were smiling and full of hope, and the faces of those officials were as if someone had died in the family, which was extremely ugly.
Yan Lian was worried that there was no one, these adults didn't know how to break in, and they didn't need to be in vain, so she asked these adults to put on their robes and follow them to dig and release water ...... at several points in the village.
Because of the convening of the village chief and the presence of several officials, the strong men of every family came out, and none of them had any objections. For such a result, Yan Lian is extremely satisfied. She knew that if there were no officials in the battle, she really would not have been able to persuade the villagers of Guquan Village.
"Hehe, your hands are high, not only did you rectify these self-righteous adults, but also made them deter those villagers, no one dared to object," Beichen Ao had to give her a thumbs up, because she might not have thought of it because of such an arrangement.
"The people in the village have only one word for the officials: fear. Use them to deter the villagers, and there is no need for the village chief to persuade each household, "When the whole village is really convinced, I'm afraid the heavy rain will stop." "As for those adults, they are very proud in their bones, how can they allow me, a country woman, to cross them, even if they are forced to the extreme, they can only grit their teeth and bear it!"
"Hehehe...... That's why I said you're high-minded,"
Yan Lian glanced at him, pouted and said, "People are so lucky, aren't you afraid that people will give you small shoes to wear?" "They were all once officials, too arrogant, and not good.
"They don't worry about the emperor giving them small shoes to wear, then it's a blessing!" They think that this place can be covered up as well as the rest of the world, and they are very wrong.
The emperor's attention to Guquan Village, except for the two brothers, no one knows the way. Therefore, the more these officials are here, the more they can't eat and walk around after they go back, so he is not angry, anyway, someone will rectify them later.
The heavy rain was pouring down, getting heavier and heavier, Yan Lian saw that the Xie family and the others were looking forward to it under the eaves, thinking that the heavy rain would not stop for a moment, so she said: "Mother, you and the fourth aunt go and take out some of the stored ginger and distribute it everywhere, so that several families can boil a big pot of ginger soup together, so that the people who are drenched in the rain can go to the cold when they come back,"
"Okay, my mother and your fourth aunt can go," I can't do anything, I'm worried in my heart, it's better to find something to be busy.
Yan Lian wanted to help, but the injury on her shoulder couldn't move much, so she could only endure it and work hard to arrange everything, hoping that her efforts could have a good result.
Men are digging ditches, women are boiling ginger soup, and the whole Guquan Village is very busy, but when there are more people, no one thinks things are unfair.
With Yan Lian's attention and everyone's concerted efforts, the water in the originally flooded high paddy fields has receded, which makes everyone's hearts full of joy, and smiles appeared on their tired faces, feeling that there is hope for keeping food.
The adults who originally complained stood tremblingly in the heavy rain for a day, did not complain anything, drank the thick ginger soup, and after eating the most ordinary meal of the farmer, they didn't care whether the bed was wet or not, they just covered the quilt and went to sleep, where did they still have the strength to argue with others for a word.
This also made Yan Lian a lot easier.
The next day, the rain was much lighter, but it was dripping and had no intention of stopping.
"It's raining so much this spring, don't drip after autumn, the harvest in the second half of the year is also a problem," Xie Shi cut fresh ginger, looked up at the sky, and muttered with some concern.
Before dawn, all the men who had been busy all day yesterday went out automatically. Because digging ditches has an effect and can protect the grain, everyone is full of strength to do this without anyone telling them.
Hearing Xie's murmur, Yan Lian touched her slightly aching shoulder, frowned and thought about it, thinking that the problem of heavy rain and drought must be solved, otherwise she would sit and wait for God's face.
"Beichen Ao," she looked at the elegant and noble man in front of her, who even ate the simplest breakfast, and asked in a rather heavy tone, "If there is a big drought, what will the imperial court do?" ”
Beichen Ao, who was enjoying breakfast, was choked by her sudden serious question, "cough cough", complained with accusatory eyes, patted his chest for a while before panting and said: "Fight the drought!" ”
"How to fight drought?" Persistently asking, she found that she had made a mistake in choosing to be a peasant girl. The congenital conditions are insufficient, not to mention anything else, it is two natural disasters such as heavy rain and drought, and she is a little tired of resisting.
"It can still resist drought like this, if it is not serious, the people carry water by themselves, if it is serious, they are generally displaced from their hometowns, and come back after the situation improves," such a thing, Beichen Ao has become accustomed to it.
When Yan Lian heard such an answer, she knew that they did not mean to solve the drought in advance at all, but relied on it.
"Why do you ask this?" It's raining heavily, not drought, and the meaning is the exact opposite!
"A flood will be followed by a great drought," and even if there is none, she must be prepared for a rainy day.
After observing for two days, I saw that the tired faces of those originally high-spirited officials had no strength to speak, let alone make it difficult. As for the questions they said, they did a good job, and thinking that some of them knew about water conservancy, they summoned them for some inquiry.
"The spring rain is not a good thing, but it is not a big bad thing," Yan Lian looked at the tired people, frowned deeply and said: "Some of you know water conservancy, the little woman wants to ask, if you save the spring rain, when the drought comes, can you solve the urgent need?" ”
Her words made the people in the village at a loss, but they shocked Beichen Ao and a few adults. In the past few days, of course, they don't dare to underestimate this little lady. What they couldn't solve, she solved, and in front of them, if they were arrogant, then they should be slapped in the mouth.
Now, I will obediently listen to her arrangement, I just want to learn her method, and if there is such a thing in the future, they will solve it, so I don't need to stare at the people and watch the people cry.
In fact, it's not that they don't want to save food, but they can't do anything, no one has ever taught them, and they don't understand these things at all.
"Storing spring rain?" Beichen muttered with the shock in her heart, and finally understood why she would ask herself that question.
Before the spring rain was solved, she had already thought of the drought, and this woman's mind, what was she doing, was so exquisite.
"I wonder what the little lady thinks?" The tone is full of admiration and awe.
"The little woman means that you should find a suitable place in the village and ask the villagers to dig a large water storage hole, which is different from the canal in this river, and does not run in all directions, so that the water will not be lost...... When there is a drought, it will solve the urgent need, and maybe even save people! Yan Lian didn't know what to say, her unintentional words really saved many people.
No one had ever thought of using the spring rain to save the drought that might occur at any time, so everyone was stunned and let out joyful discussions.
"This matter is left to us, and we will definitely be able to choose a proper place," if this is successful, it will be a great achievement, and after returning to Beijing, I am afraid that it will not only be a reward, but also a knighthood.
Beichen Ao naturally understood the thoughts of these people, and the corners of his mouth showed a touch of sarcasm, but he also knew that Yan Lian's proposal might save many people, so he didn't stop it.
After telling them, Yan Lian's heart relaxed, and she felt that she didn't need to worry about such a trivial matter. But she didn't know what to do, and just such an oversight almost caused the great tragedy of the destruction of the entire Guquan Village.
Because of the rainy day, the wound on Yan Lian's shoulder was vaguely painful, and she knew that this was related to the weather, so she didn't say it, as usual.
"Dad and my brother went to dig a puddle, my mother and my fourth aunt went to help cook ginger soup, I went and drove me back, saying that I would only add to the chaos," Ying Yanqiu complained dissatisfiedly, a little unconvinced.
Yan Lian looked at her childish appearance, and couldn't help but smile: "Mother cares about you, I'm afraid that you will get sick after the rain, you, just stay at home and accompany me," even Grandma Yu has gone out, and this family is only with herself and Shi'er.
As for Beichen Ao, she really didn't know where the man had gone, anyway, she didn't say a word, she took an umbrella and went out, and she didn't know what Lu Dao was doing.
"That's what I said," as soon as he said this, the dissatisfaction in Ying Yanqiu's heart disappeared. "Even Dongsheng and his mother went to help, in this village, probably you and I are the most idle. Every time I passed, the sister-in-law of the third aunt's family laughed at me and hated her to death! ”
"Is she going to help too?" Yan Lian asked very unintentionally.
"This puddle is dug closest to her mother-in-law's house, and the villagers borrowed her yard to make ginger soup, and as soon as I went, my mother drove me away, and she mocked me, and she didn't help anything, but made ......a mess," Yan Qiu complained unconsciously, feeling aggrieved in her heart, because she really wanted to help.
Yan Lian's mind suddenly flashed with the topographic map of the village, and when she thought of something, she suddenly jumped up, startling Yan Qiu, and before she could speak, she saw Yan Lian running into the house, and then ran out, grabbed the topographic map she drew and spread it out and asked, "Yan Qiu, you say, where is the third aunt and sister-in-law's house?" ”
"Eh," Yan Qiu was stunned, frightened by her sister's expression, and hesitated for a moment before she said, "It's the ...... close to the West Mountain,"
"Damn," before Yan Qiu could indicate where she was, she muttered, Yan Qiu cursed, and then without waiting for Yan Qiu to react, she grabbed the cloak at the door and put it on and rushed into the rain curtain .......
"Sister......" Ying Yanqiu shouted in a daze, suddenly remembered something, and suddenly shouted sharply: "Sister, come back soon......"
"Auntie," Shi'er heard her scream and walked out of the house, her face bewildered.
"It's okay, it's okay, my aunt's voice is loud," Yan Qiu was worried about the injury on her sister's shoulder, but Shi'er was home alone, and she didn't feel at ease!
