Wen Suxin is always flustered.

The more Grand Steward Qin didn't come to her, the more panicked she became.

It's like before a heavy rain, it's so stuffy that it makes people uncomfortable.

This morning, Wen Suxin hastily ate breakfast, and while Sister Ning and the others hadn't finished eating, she secretly ran back to the room, put on the white mink coat, and stood in front of the bronze mirror to take a photo.

When the light was flushed, a hearty laughter suddenly sounded in the courtyard, Wen Su was shocked, hurriedly took off his coat, hid behind the window, and opened a gap in his heart, secretly looking outside.

The man came, wearing a black mink coat, walking in a tiger's style, and looking very imposing.

Looking at it, Wen Suxin's face turned red again.

"Yo, have breakfast, hehehe, Mingzhao and I haven't eaten either, please ask my sister-in-law to add two more pairs of chopsticks."

"Eh, thank you."

"Hey, where is Sister Wen? Why don't you see her out for breakfast? ”

"Oh, I'm back to my room after eating, then I'll go to her room to see her."

Hearing this, Wen Suxin's heart was pounding with fright, and she hurriedly ran out of the room and walked towards the hall.

The one who shouted that he wanted to come to her boudoir was naturally the Qin Chuan Qin Lord Qin Steward.

But men and women don't kiss, and she hasn't left the cabinet yet, if she lets a disciple come to her room, then what's the point?

After walking to the door of the hall, Wen Suxin looked inside and said, "The woman has seen Lord Qin and Mr. Wang." ”

"Su Xin is here."

Qin Chuan greeted her with a smile and went straight to hold her hand.

Wen Suxin hurriedly dodged, bowed his head and blushed silently.

Qin Chuan was not embarrassed, he only smiled: "Su Xin, this is a good day, I'll take you out to ride a horse and go around, and sister-in-law, the two sisters of the Li family will also go together." ”

Wen Suxin was slightly stunned, and quickly lowered her head again, tangled.

She has been living in Mengjiazhuang for a month, and she is bored in the inner courtyard, and she has long wanted to go out for a walk.

The Li family sisters on the side were also full of expectation, they were already more active than Wen Suxin, and it was too torturous for them not to go out for a month.

After Qin Chuan finished, he glanced at Wang Jizong on the side.

Wang Jizong cleared his throat, hesitated again, and said to Ning: "Madam, today the Xitougou Reservoir and the Huagou Reservoir have been completed, and the husband wants to accompany the chief steward to check the reservoir dam, or you can also go out for a walk with the husband and relax." ”

Ning glanced at him and said, "The concubine will listen to the arrangement of the princess." ”

"Okay, okay, let's go together, that ...... Su Xin, it's windy outside, go put that mink on, Ming Zhao and I are waiting for you outside. ”

Qin Chuan smiled, and then took Wang Jizong out first.

As soon as they left, Wen Suxin looked at Ning with a pleading gaze and asked, "Sister Ning, what should I do?" ”

Ning pursed his lips and smiled: "Don't you want to go out for a walk too?" ”

"Sister, it's time for you, don't make fun of your sister."

"Okay, okay, don't laugh at you, sister, I really want to go and see those two reservoirs, which were dug by thousands of villagers for more than a month."

"Reservoir?"

"Well, this word belongs to the big steward, that is, the big pond that is several times larger than the ordinary pond, and these two reservoirs are also dug by the chief steward."

"Why is he digging a reservoir?"

"To irrigate the farmland."

At this point, Ning sighed inexplicably: "Alas, although the chief steward is Meng Lang and acts a little unscrupulously, what he does can be regarded as benefiting one party, Ze is the people." ”

"The vast majority of the thousands of Lou Fu villagers you see are hungry people he took in, for them to eat, for them to wear, some of them were sent to work in the mines, and some of them were left in Lou Fu to build water conservancy and reclaim farmland, and they will be given land in the future."

"If there is no big manager, I am afraid that few of these thousands of hungry people will survive this winter, I heard that he asked Emperor Guan to go out to relieve the hungry people with grain in the first two days, and Mengjiazhuang has enough food, and can take in another three or four thousand hungry people."

"Alas, now that there are many years of great drought, disasters are continuous, countless people have died of hunger and freezing, and it is not an exaggeration to starve for thousands of miles, I hope that the chief steward can provide more relief to the hungry people, and less poor starving ghosts."

After listening to Ning's words, Wen Suxin looked out of the door quietly, a little distracted, and even a little confused.

She had already heard from Sister Ning's mouth, and the thousands of hungry people here were all taken in by that person.

The man went out to fight with the Dongyu a few days ago, still for food, and still wanted to take in more hungry people.

That Meng wolf disciple, a thief who was rampant in the township, did something to benefit the people and relieve the people.

"Alas, there is probably only one chief steward in this world who grabs food to relieve the hungry."

Ning sighed again, and then went back to the room to change clothes.

Wen Suxin's eyes became more and more confused.

Yes, in this world, who would risk their own death, rob food everywhere, and even run outside the fortress to fight with the Dongyu, just to let more hungry people survive.

"I'm going to change my clothes."

Li Yueru's face was a little complicated, and she threw down a sentence and ran back to the room.

Wen Suxin came back to her senses, hesitated for a long time, and finally walked back to the room and draped the white mink coat over her body.

……

Qin Chuan felt that he had a lot of face today, and he was very attractive to him.

Because Wen Suxin wore the mink he sent, it was so beautiful that it was bubbling.

And he was riding with him, riding a docile mare to his right.

The Li sisters wanted to separate them, but Luo Daniu appeared in the team at the right time and forced the Li sisters to the front with a smile.

In the end, Qin Chuan and Wen Suxin, Wang Jizong and Ning, escorted by the Hundred Guan Emperor's army, and the respectful and envious eyes of the villagers along the way, marched towards Xitougou.

For Wen Suxin, the more Qin Chuan looks at it, the more he likes it, and he always wants to hold her over and press her in his arms, but he is afraid of ruining his image in front of everyone.

Xitougou is very close to the gunpowder factory, just five miles west of Loufu, and it takes two quarters of an hour to ride a horse.

The reservoir embankment is built at the narrowest part of Xitougou, about 70 steps long, that is, about 110 meters, about 7 meters high, the top of the embankment is four meters wide, the bottom is about 25 meters wide, the slope of the backwater slope is low and gentle, and the slope of the waterfront slope is steep, but it is reinforced with wooden piles, stones and sacks filled with soil to prevent the embankment from bursting.

The soil of the embankment is taken from the ravine, and the Xitougou is generally dug down about one meter, and the ravines blocked by the embankment connect the two ravines on the ridge of the Black Mountain, and when the snow and ice melt, the snow water will flow from the Zhouhong Mountain into the ridge of the Black Mountain, and then flow into the reservoir from those two ravines.

Originally, there was a stream in this ditch, and the water source came from a mountain spring on Zhouhong Mountain, but now a small pond has formed in the ravine.

Qin Chuan estimates that if only the snowmelt water can hold one-third of the water in this reservoir, it should not be a problem to irrigate 800 acres of land.

If there is rain in spring and summer, the water demand of the reservoir can reach 60 or 70 percent, and at least 2,000 or 3,000 mu of land can be irrigated.

There is also Huagou Reservoir, on the other side of the Jianhe River three miles away from the west of Xitougou, the embankment is about 60 meters long, four meters high, three meters wide at the top, 10 meters wide at the bottom, the scale is about half of the Xitougou Reservoir, and the irrigation amount is only about 30% of the former, and it should be called a large pond.

Qin Chuan carefully inspected the Xitougou embankment, and after confirming that it was not a tofu slag project, he rode his horse on the embankment and looked downstream.

At the foot of the hillside, under the leadership of several stewards appointed by Wang Jizong, the villagers are cultivating farmland on the edge of the Jianhe River, hoeing hard land and re-cultivating the previously barren land at the expense of farm tools.

Qin Chuan was in a surging mood, pointed down and said: "In the spring of the next year, these reclaimed lands will be sprinkled with dung made by Ming Zhao, and then replanted with grain." ”

Wen Suxin on the side looked down and saw that the villagers who were originally in the reclamation were raising their heads one after another, looking at the person on the embankment with respectful eyes.

"After spring ploughing next year, I will build a few more reservoirs along the ravines on both sides of the Jianhe River, and the flat land and gentle slopes on both sides of the Jianhe River will all be reclaimed until this area is covered with golden wheat fields."

"On the mountains on both sides, those gentle slopes should also be used to plant some drought-resistant crops such as millet and millet, and some beans and alfalfa to fertilize the fields, and they can also be used to raise horses."

"By the way, alfalfa is a good thing, you have to have a variety of points, scattered all over the mountains, and in May and June, the alfalfa flowers bloom, I will take you to pick flowers on horses."

Hearing the word "picking flowers", Wen Su's pretty face turned red.

Qin Chuan didn't notice this, and still pointed at his territory, full of spirit.

"What are you doing this for?"

Wen Suxin suddenly asked a question that had no beginning or end.
