As soon as it was quiet for a moment, a big hand became restless, and Qin Muyao slapped it down: "If you want to rest, just rest well." Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Testing"

"Oh, in that case, you'd better go take a bath. Cheng Lianjin said with a stumbling voice.

Qin Muyao smiled helplessly, climbed down from the bed, and the voice behind her who had just stood firm came again.

"I'm going to bathe too, we're together. Before Qin Muyao could refuse, the ground where her body left was hugged by someone.

In the middle of summer this year, there has been no rain in Nanyang City for more than a month, and the sun hangs high in the sky before dawn every morning, and the heat is accompanied by the sound of cicadas hitting everyone's hot mood, Qin Muyao has not seen Cheng Lianjin for three or four consecutive days, and he goes to court before dawn every morning. I didn't come back until late at night.

Qin Muyao, who woke up in the middle of the night, saw the empty bed again, so she got up and walked to the study.

The red candle was still burning in the study, the copywriting on the case was blown off the ground by the wind, and Cheng Lianjin was lying on the desk. Breathing evenly, he was already asleep.

Qin Muyao slowly picked up the paper in the room and put it back on the case, Cheng Lianjin, who heard the movement, raised his head, took Qin Muyao's hand with sleepy eyes and said, "I've been too busy this time, I don't want to wake you up when I see that you have rested." “

"Well, I know that the surrounding counties have been experiencing drought in the past few days, and every day when I go out, I can see some people coming in from outside the city. I'm afraid that you won't tire yourself. After all, this is not something that can be done alone. Qin Muyao said softly.

"Speaking of which, my father arranged for me to investigate the drought situation in the surrounding area, and I will leave early tomorrow morning, and it is estimated that it will take three or five days to return. Cheng Lianjin pulled Qin Muyao to sit on his lap and said.

"Is it a micro-service? I'll go with you. Qin Muyao said while playing with Cheng Lianjin's jade belt.

"I want to be convinced, only in this way can I see the real situation of the people, so that I won't be fooled by the county officials, but it's just that the weather is hot, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it when I take you out." In fact, Cheng Lianjin was more worried about Su Hehan, since he clarified Su Hehan's true intentions from Qi Zhenhe, he would always be hostile to Su Hehan.

"No, I'm going to stay with you if I don't do anything, well, in fact, I want to be by your side more. Qin Muyao lowered her head and whispered.

Looking at Qin Muyao's shy expression, Cheng Lianjin couldn't help but nodded, even if he didn't do anything, as long as he could stay with her, he would be extremely relaxed and at ease.

"Let's go, go back to the room and rest, or Silversleeves and Shadowless will think you've been kicked out of the room by me." Qin Muyao took Cheng Lianjin and walked into the room.

"They dare!" said a silent laugh behind him, extinguishing the red candle in the study.

On the second day, Cheng Lianjin Weifu went to Qianjing County, a county near Nanyang City, to inspect the drought situation.

"Old Seven. Take a free ride with you, I'll go around with you today, my father arranged for me to dig a well, where do I know how much bigger I want to dig where. Knowing that you are going to inspect the disaster situation in the nearby drought area today, I will follow along to see the situation of the surrounding wells. Su Hehan lifted the carriage curtain and stepped up.

As soon as she entered the carriage, Su Hehan was stunned, she was also in the carriage, since the last time she sneaked into Yile Lou and secretly saw Qin Muyao, Su Hehan has never seen Qin Muyao again.

Qin Muyao was also stunned for a moment when she saw someone coming, this was the first time Qin Muyao had seen Su Hehan since the two of them were trapped in Sanmiao and tired of fire.

"Aha, Seventh Brother, you are too favoritism, you went to inspect the disaster and took your younger siblings with you. Before Qin Muyao could speak, Su Hehan shouted outside the door.

"Has King Jing's body fully recovered?" Qin Muyao said when she saw that Su Hehan was still the same. Maybe Su Hehan's eyes in the inn that night were really his own illusion.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes. Su Hehan replied with a smile, turning his eyes to the side. This time she went out with the army and seemed to have suffered a lot, even if she woke up now, she was not as lifeless as she was lying before, but she still felt a lot weaker.

Cheng Lianjin didn't expect Su Hehan to come suddenly, and he got into the carriage before he could stop Su Hehan, so he could only suppress his anger and say: "Yes, I was just favoritism, I originally wanted to take my newlywed wife to the suburbs to see the scenery and inspect the disaster by the way, but I didn't expect to be disturbed." “

"Newlywed, wife?" Su Hehan repeated this sentence, turning his head and looking at Qin Muyao carefully. Sure enough, Qin Muyao, who had been wearing her hair loosely, had already tied her hair up today.

"Yes, we got married the other day. Cheng Lianjin said in an accentuated tone.

Qin Muyao said embarrassedly: "I am the one who will accompany him to inspect the disaster, and I will not go to the suburbs to relax, King Gong can rest assured, he will not delay the government." “

Su Hehan became a little irritable, he brushed the floor and stretched out the fan and kept shaking it and said: "You guys are really not interesting, we don't even know about getting married, and we don't even have a share of the wedding wine." “

Qin Muyao smiled and said, "Okay, in a few days, let King Rui invite you to drink." “

Cheng Lianjin saw Su Hehan's irritable appearance and became inexplicably relieved, and smiled: "Yes." In a few days, the two of us will treat you to a drink!"

As he spoke, the carriage had already arrived in Qianjing County, and Cheng Lianjin did not let the carriage enter the county seat but went directly to the countryside. Along the way, he saw almost no peasants working in the fields.

"You said that this water came from the river, and what about the well in the village?" asked Su Hehan as he got out of the carriage.

"Yes, there is a small river more than ten miles ahead. It was from there that I was taught, and now there is still a well with water in the village, there was only one well, and there was no water half a month ago. I don't see if it rains, the river will dry up. The old farmer shook his head and said.

A dark cloud appeared on Cheng Lianjin's face and asked, "What if the water in the small river also dries up?"

The old farmer said: "What can I do, flee the famine, there are already people fleeing the famine in the villages in the south where the drought is severe." Some heard that they had already infiltrated Nanyang City. “

"Why didn't anyone come to dig a well? “

"Dig a well? Who will dig it? How can you have money to dig a well in the village? You rich and noble families really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, and now that you can't afford to buy food, you still have the money to find someone to dig a well. The old farmer shook his head and led the donkey away.

Qin Muyao glanced at the surrounding crops with a heavy heart and said, "I didn't expect that the people around me have reached such a dire situation now. “

"The fact that the people have no money to dig wells will not move without the will of the above. And I heard that the drought is serious these days, and even the price of grain in Nanyang City has increased several times, and there are no crops, and there is no grain where the people have the strength to dig wells. Su Hehan also said worriedly.

Cheng Lianjin looked at the cracked crops, sighed deeply, and said, "The people are already hungry, I'm afraid that more homeless people will enter Nanyang City soon." “

"Since the people are short of food, why don't they reward grain and dig wells?" Qin Muyao asked.

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Lian Jin and Su Hehan all looked at Qin Muyao.

Qin Muyao continued: "Since the people don't have the strength to dig wells, let them eat enough, and when they are full, they can dig wells by themselves, just now you said that the price of grain has increased several times, so now give them food directly, so that they are not afraid that the businessmen will take the opportunity to raise the price of grain, and the people will definitely be willing to dig wells desperately when they get the grain, so that they can not only alleviate the food problem of the people but also repair the wells and canals to alleviate the disaster." “

"You mean to pay for grain and dig wells?" Su Hehan said in surprise.

"Ah, if that's what you say. Qin Muyao nodded and said.

"Yes, this will also alleviate the problem of displaced people, and if the problem of water cannot be fundamentally solved, the disaster will continue, and the displaced people will continue to pour out. As soon as the number of displaced people increases, it is easy to riot, reward grain and dig wells! Reward grain and dig wells! Go into the palace!" Su Hehan pulled Cheng Lianjin and ran to the carriage, although he usually had no serious fun, but he has always taken it seriously in the government.

Qin Muyao followed the two of them into the carriage, and when she got off the carriage, Cheng Lianjin whispered behind him: "Your head has surprised me since the beginning of the wild goose!"

"The cause of the matter is the lack of water, and now the problem is to start from the source, as long as we let the people dig wells, we can solve the drought problem," said Su Hehan. “

Su Hexu said on the side: "It would be nice if the people were willing to dig wells, I heard that the people are not willing to dig wells now." Do you want the local officials to go and dig wells for the people themselves? What's more, I also found out today that there are more and more homeless people in Nanyang City, and a few days ago they were only mixed in in groups, and now there are village-by-village homeless people guarding outside the gate of Nanyang City. Just wait for the gates to be opened. “

"I haven't finished speaking, what I want to say is that the imperial court wants to reward grain and dig wells, now the money is cheap and expensive, the people are definitely not willing to take the money, it is better to directly give the grain to the benefits, the people will get the grain will desperately dig wells and repair canals, the price of grain will not rise again, and the drought will be alleviated. When the displaced people hear the news, they will return to their hometowns. Su Hehan continued.

"Drought, lack of food, displaced people, it is indeed a problem in front of us, this displaced people will beg first when they arrive in a different place, if they can't beg they will steal and rob it, rewarding grain and digging wells is indeed a feasible way. Shang Shuling Xie Suwen said.

"King Rui, let you go to inspect, what do you think?" Su He Jingshuo looked around at the prince and courtiers in front of him and found that only Cheng Lianjin did not speak, and asked.

"The drought in the counties around Nanyang City is already very serious, and the people's crops have cracked, and almost all the crops are drought. I am in favor of the practice of rewarding grain and digging wells, this time the wells are too shallow, and it is not good to dig fewer wells, but we must dig more deep wells, at least 10,000 wells, and we must repair more channels, so that even if there is no rain for several months, we can use the water from the ground to irrigate the crops. Otherwise, there will be no harvest in this dry summer, and the people will have no food to eat next year. Cheng Lianjin said.

"But. Cheng Lianjin said with a contemplative expression, "Although the method of rewarding grain and digging wells is good, it is difficult to implement, if the grain is transported from the south, the time is long and slow, and it can only meet the military rations, and there is no surplus to reward the people." “

"Speaking of which, there is still no way to dig a well!" Su Hexu said on the side.

Su and Jingshuo paced around the house, and then said: "Then collect grain and dig wells! From now on, fighting drought and digging wells is the first priority of the imperial court, and the government and the opposition must work together, and I don't believe that it will be more difficult to dig a well than a big tent, and it will be more difficult to build a canal than to attack a city!"
