Chapter 488: Rain
The children really didn't return overnight, as the little master of the county lord's family, he also made it clear that he would give money to sponsor the repair of the reservoir, naturally, no one would think about it, and he didn't dare to drive them home to sleep with his mother.
Hu County's order didn't rest, so many people gathered in the county office, who can not take the reservoir seriously?
After a lively and even heated discussion, the size and location of the reservoir were basically predetermined, and then the quick-legged Yacha and enthusiastic people went overnight to survey the terrain and further confirm the location and extent of the excavated reservoir.
Near the river, the reservoir is the cheapest, and the final one is set out in three places, most of which are optimistic about the wasteland range, and in previous years, when the flood was heavy, the land was often submerged.
It doesn't matter whose land is involved, Li Zheng came forward and directly compensated for the better good land, and would rather suffer some losses for his own family.
Every step of the way there is a county government to do a tracking record, at this time not "high wind and bright festival" once, when are you waiting?
This reservoir is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and the strong laborers of the surrounding villages have collectively dispatched, which is to reduce their own disasters and resist drought and flooding, who is not willing to work hard?
Good fellows, there are more people digging rivers and doing labor in the winter!
The men in the county town were not idle, taking advantage of the rain, the county commander re-excavated the moat, this river has long existed in name only, Zhuyang County is located inland, usually not on the edge of the war, more and more ignore the city gate and moat equipment.
Isn't the moat a perfect little reservoir when it's dug deep? It's just a little more slender and a little weirder.
In good conscience, Hu Xianling never thought of raising funds in the private sector. But. I can't stand it, and I have been paying money since the little young master of the county lord's mansion. There are also those scholars and "mud legs" who are boiling with enthusiasm, and the yacha who are driven by them have also paid out of their pockets, and the family is not poor, who wants to be left behind?
Lu Qianzong's government soldiers were also dispatched, the silver of Lu Mansion was also donated, and the shopkeepers of various large and small merchants also rushed to the county government with money, they had already formed a chamber of commerce, didn't they? Everyone has made a lot of money, isn't it because of the loose policies of Zhuyang County. Are the common people benevolent and industrious? Who wouldn't want to do more for their hometown?
Hu Xianling was very excited, he didn't have anything to say, and instructed the bookkeeper to mark the accounts, and he had to explain to the people clearly what the silver had been used for.
Mrs. Hu and Cailian are not idle, in addition to taking care of the children, organizing the idle and panicked women, and arranging for the men who are working to dig the reservoir to cook and boil water.
Hu Buyu went out to study, saying that he would go to the capital to find Xiao Awen at the last stop, so. Such a big novelty, this guy didn't participate in it.
"Happiness Garden" also went out a lot of people. The guards from the county lord's mansion and Li Wei also took more than half of the way, if it weren't for Bai Lao'er's absence at home, he would definitely rush to the front with his younger brother Bai Laosan.
I haven't mentioned Bai Laosan for a long time, since he was taken to the county lord's mansion to recuperate, this kid is like having depression, and later, it was Bai Laosan who took him next door, and after recuperating from his injuries, he spontaneously and voluntarily followed the second child to go south and north to talk about business.
Ah Yuan and Bai Chengguang didn't treat him badly, and the arrow was still blocked for Bai Chengguang at the beginning! The family doesn't talk to the two families, and since then, the past has disappeared, and the relationship between the brothers and sons has come again.
Forced to stuff the silver to Bai Laosan, this kid doesn't want to live or die, Bai Laoer took it over and gave him a stake in his own business, so he became a stupid man who was beaten up in Qiyang, and he became the bodyguard of his second brother, not to mention, the embarrassing image of not being able to read and farming in the past has all faded, and he is a sergeant with a strong body.
Green willow is copying and marrying a daughter-in-law for this younger brother, and it is said that they are all optimistic about each other, just waiting for the third child to nod when he comes back from this outing!
He was expelled by the ancestral hall of the confusion array, and the marriage room did not design the boundaries of his hometown, anyway, his family still has a spare house in the "new residence of Happiness Garden", and the smallest one will be given to the third child.
Everyone is very satisfied with this ending, the third child was a failure, and the family had a good life, and now the diaphragm has been removed, and it is a happy family.
Especially Cailian, I don't know how happy she is, the third child was the best for her earlier, and the Arwen sisters and brothers liked to follow Bai Laosan's ass, but later they were estranged, and Cailian had shed tears many times.
went around and around, and finally became dear people again.
The autumn rain fell again, and the county lord's mansion hadn't eaten the noon meal yet, and a thunderclap burst the hazy sky like a hurry, fortunately, the temperature was not too low, otherwise, a moment of effort could water a large part of the labor force.
Hu Xianling has silver in his hand, and he has already given Bao Yuan'er the clothes and hats sold in the shops in the city, but unfortunately, it is impossible to take care of so many people.
Those who have rain gear at home have also contributed, but their bodies have been drenched, and each family began to burn ginger soup to send to the construction site, but they dare not delay the excavation of the reservoir.
More and more people rushed to the excavation site of the reservoir, and the guys from every household took out everything, digging the reservoir, the bigger and deeper the digging, the more water it contains, and children know this truth, so hurry up and dig it! It's better than having your home actually flooded!
The maids in the county lord's mansion can't stay still, and the little masters are still being "irrigated" by the rain outside, how can they stay in the house as subordinates?
"County Lord, the rain is so heavy, let the slaves and maids go and get the little young master back!"
"Yes, county master, slaves and maids can also dig soil, slaves and maids go to dig reservoirs, let the young masters go home!"
……
It's really hard to be the lord of Furui, the three little masters are so old, from last night to this afternoon, there is no news, she can still sit in front of the bookcase and write and draw!
Song Hao didn't come back from kindergarten, this is close to home, there is no need to worry, but is the county lord really not worried about the other three?
"Don't make a noise!" The county lord's face was also gloomy: "Wait for me for a while, after thinking about this link, you will not be idle." ”
If you have something to do, then you can rest assured, and the maids collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sui'er, call a guard, call our blacksmith and carpenter, and call a few if you have a few left, I have an arrangement!" The county lord's voice is actually a little dry, it is not wrong that yesterday's beautiful lecture showed a small face, this voice can suffer a big sin, and it hurts when he speaks.
The big guy understood, and the county lord came up with a new "treasure thing" to develop.
However, such a heavy rainstorm, at this juncture, invention and creation, it seems to be a bit out of harmony!
After Sui'er finished explaining outside, she immediately returned to the study and waited. When the son came out of the house for a while, half of the trouser legs and skirt were wet and cool.
The county lord frowned, and muttered something in his mouth: "With an oilcloth?" There aren't that many materials - Sui'er, what fabric does we have in our warehouse the most? ”
"There's a lot of silk! Both rooms are full of fine silk, and the county mainly makes clothes? "Sui'er is an insider, and she will come when she opens her mouth.
"That thing—it's not very useful—when the wind blows, won't it be pulled?" Yuan's brow furrowed even tighter.
"There is also a room filled with muslin cloth, originally this cloth is also expensive, the county chamber of commerce ordered the goods, but the road to be transported by the wax was soaked in a lot of wax, the little shopkeeper who transported the goods is going to cry urgently, or the county lord is kind, let him send it all to our storehouse, otherwise, the little shopkeeper will definitely have to go back and be punished." Sui'er has a small mouth, and her head is clear, and the earlier things come one by one.
It seems that there is really such a thing, when the Chamber of Commerce was just established, Ah Yuan happened to meet it, although the cloth was finely woven, no one was willing to buy it.
That is the first time that the Chamber of Commerce played a role, there are foreign merchants to negotiate the supply of the two counties, Ah Yuan can't bear to let the Chamber of Commerce shrink back at the first step, but also look at the little shopkeeper who escorted the car with tears in his eyes and feel stingy, so he paid all the unsalable cloth and shipped it home.
"Stained by oil wax - oil wax - ", Ah Yuan's brows suddenly expanded, and his body stood up "Teng": "Let's go, let's go to the treasury and see those muslins!" ”
"But there is water ......", Sui'er didn't finish the words of dissuasion, and the county lord had already come out of the house like a wind, and the raindrops of beans fell on him......
The rain gear at home has all been donated, and even the most noble county lord is useless.
Sui'er didn't dare to get tired of it, and she also plunged into the rain, and the warehouse was not far away, and she couldn't get wet, so she could run there.
Behind him, several maids chased after the county lord with their clothes, so there was a cover!
It is really a pile of muslin cloth full of warehouses, no color, a single green and gray cloth, which is the first choice for people to make clothes in summer.
Ah Yuan hugged a piece of cloth that was most seriously contaminated, and handed the other end to Sui'er: "Open it - you stand under the cloth - go to the yard and pour it for a while-".
The little girl was stunned for a moment, and immediately carried out the order of the county lord.
It's just that the maids who came over are a little incompetent, is this to punish Sui'er? It doesn't look like it, the county lord looks quite excited, which one is it?
The autumn rain was still raging, and Sui'er felt that her already soaked skirt was even heavier, and the sleeves on her arms were also attached to the flesh, so cool!
But why is the head so dry? What kept the rain that was supposed to run down the hair?
The little girl's eyes widened, and she looked up to check, the blue muslin cloth made the sky even darker, and the top of her head was clearly a large piece of oil...... (To be continued......)
