The city defender is also smart, and quickly called someone to make an umbrella.

The face is respectful, but what I think in my heart is that on a hot day, with such a big sun, look at the city wall.

Walking to the top of the city wall, there is a five-meter-wide walkway, my God, the sun bakes the ground hot, and I can feel my feet hot through my shoes.

Xining also pointed curiously: "The city wall is set up with two roads, and there is such a big place in the middle circle, is it just empty?" ”

I really admired the county lord's "good Yaxing", the city guard did not dare to use the same umbrella with the county lord, and hid in another umbrella: "This is the urn city, after the city gate is lost, the enemy will enter, and the second city gate will block them." The soldiers shot arrows, set fires, and threw stones all around, killing the enemy in the urn. ”

Xining couldn't help but nodded, the wisdom of the ancients is really powerful, but in order to save his life, of course, he has to come up with any way.

She asked, "The same is true of the gate on the north side of the city, is there an urn?" ”

The city keeper said: "Exactly, because the Xiongnu are in the north, there are three roads at the north gate and two in the urn city." ”

Two urn cities and three strong gates still can't stop the iron hooves of the Huns.

It's almost the end of the look here, and Xining goes down.

"County lord be careful!" Jing'er answered in front, this staircase is a stone staircase, steep and narrow, only for one person to pass.

The city is not for viewing and playing, and it is inconvenient for yourself, and it is even more inconvenient when the Huns call. Such a staircase only needs a fierce general to stand, and then it can block the enemy on the staircase with a block of hundreds, and pick them down one by one.

Descending from the tower, Xining saw a well inside the second gate: "There is also a well here?" ”

"It's dry here, and the well doesn't have water anymore." "There are also many wells in the city without water, and last year it was hot, and this year it is the same, and the demand for water is higher than in previous years," said the city guard. ”

Xining immediately asked, "Is there still water in the well at the north gate?" ”

The city keeper replied, "There is no water left, and I have heard that before a month the well in the northern city dried up and there was no more water." ”

Xining said as he walked: "How can you live without water on this hot day." In case a Li people faint when passing by, and there is not enough water, they may not be able to open their eyes when they are closed. ”

Instead, he said, "Steward Xiao, go find the person who digs the wells and help these two wells get water." If there is really no water, survey the nearest area and dig two wells to come out. ”

When the city guard heard this, he immediately said: "The county lord is for the people, which is really benevolent and righteous, and I have thanked the county lord below." ”

In fact, digging out the well is also good for them, on a hot day, the well water is cooler, wash your face, chill a melon, and it is also much more comfortable. Get some water and sprinkle it on the ground, and it won't be so dry and dusty.

After reading it, Xining returned to the house. As soon as he got out of the car, he took off his hat and walked briskly to his bedroom: "Oops, it's hot, it's hot!" ”

Jing'er shouted in the back: "Hurry up, go fetch water, go get more ice." Hurriedly brought the chilled sour plum soup and mung bean soup to the county lord. ”

When they arrived at the house, a handmaiden was already busy, and the poet and the painter brought a basin of water and a handkerchief.

Jing'er soaked the handkerchief in the water and picked it up, and Xining directly snatched it and wiped it on her face and neck.

"Oh, county lord, you can slow down. This one is hot and one is cold, beware of prickly heat. Jing'er hurriedly twisted another handkerchief, knelt down to help the county lord gently wipe his legs.

"What the hell, why is it so hot?" Xi Ning was not so careful, and wiped his body in a hurry.

I wiped my body, changed into light clothes, and finally felt relieved, and my whole body was about to mature just now as it was in this terrible weather.

Jing'er served the chilled sour plum soup: "The county lord drink slowly, drink less, just this bowl." ”

Some of the sour plum juice is still chilled in the ice book, but people in this era believe that women can't eat more ice things.

Xi Ning didn't care, and drank it all in one go: "Bring the mung bean soup." I'll eat it slowly! ”

Jing'er, who was about to speak, heard it, was speechless, and handed over a small bowl of mung bean soup with ice cubes.

Xining took it, scooped a spoonful and chewed it in her mouth, remembered Jing'er, and pointed to Bingjian with a spoon: "You eat it too!" It's hot, and then someone else will take care of it. ”

"Xie County Lord!" Jing'er is also pitiful, her face is so hot that her face is red, just like a boiled shrimp, but she has to serve her when she comes back.

With the permission of the county lord, she went out, wiped herself first, and then went to other places to get chilled mung bean soup and ate it.

Xining slowly ate the mung bean soup and the lime with the rice juice, and saw that the city wall was still quite strong...... Well, it seems that you have to buy some glutinous rice, and you can eat it if you don't need it.

I set aside twenty taels of silver to dig a well! It's easy to get things done with money. Steward Xiao immediately found the person who was digging the well. There are two wells in the north and south of the city, and water comes out when dug five meters deep in the south of the city, and there is no water when ten meters are dug in the north of the city.

There was a senior old man in the city, who heard that it was the county lord who dug well water for the people, so Mao recommended himself to go there, and in his sixties, he personally went down to the well nearly fifty feet deep, and took torches and candles to check it.

After reading it, he said that it was possible to get out of the water, so he dug it again.

After digging more than five meters, the water finally came out. The water is clear and sweet, and it is the best well water.

This time, Steward Xiao didn't dare to be greedy for ink, and there was not much silver left, so he called the wave of people who built the granary to build a wheel at the mouth of the well, which was convenient for drawing water. After all, these two wells are too deep, and it takes a long time to pull them just by hand.

The weather was hot, and every time the people passed by, they would fetch some water and drink it themselves to feed their livestock. And the officers and soldiers defending the city, when it is too hot, will also fetch water to take a shower or something, which feels too convenient.

The people simply named these two wells Changlin and Pingyi, and recombined the county lord's title and the county name. Because the lord of Changping County entered from the south gate, it was called Changlin. And the northern city is close to the Xiongnu, so it is called Pingyi.

The granary was built, and the grain that had been purchased began to be poured into it. And Steward Lin and Xiao Zhan came and went four times during this period, and the summer also passed unconsciously in their busyness.

Sometimes it's like this, every day feels difficult, but it really passes, and every day is very fast.

"County Lord, eat grapes!" Jing'er slowly peeled a grape and put it on a plate, with a toothpick next to it: "It's very sweet, this is a tribute from the Western Regions." ”

This was rewarded by the King of Han, and the tribute from the Western Regions in the palace could only be eaten by the favored lady. King Han also gave her a copy for the sake of a few melons.

Speaking of melons, King Han didn't care. But after a lady finished eating, she said it was sweet, and he tasted it, and it was really sweet and delicious. But the melons were finished, and I heard that there were ones for sale outside, but he was a dignified man, so he couldn't ask someone to go out and ask for the melons that others bought.

Unexpectedly, after half a month, a second car was sent. This time, King Han had a good meal. As soon as I finished eating, the third wave came again.

So much so that when the King of Han ate melons, he sighed from time to time that the county lord of Changping seemed to have grown up and knew that he was loyal to the monarch and loved the monarch.

Xining took a look: "You eat this, I'll pick it myself and eat it myself." After saying that, he unscrewed a grain and stuffed it in his mouth.
