Chapter 120: The Grace of Thanksgiving
Now that there is a great drought in the world, only Su Rongrong can think about them. is such a good person, they still wronged each other so much, this is really undeserved.
The village chief immediately organized the people and said, "This project needs a lot of manpower to help, so do any of you who want to volunteer to go to the canal to help?" ”
Hearing that those people formed a team to help them build the project, Su Rongrong was very moved in his heart, but he didn't expect that the end of the matter would be such a happy ending.
But there are too many people, there is no need for so many people at all, and the county order is still very picky now. Su Rongrong was worried that many people would go to work but not have enough to eat, so he politely refused their request.
Those who knew Su Rongrong's difficulties automatically said that they didn't need Su Rongrong to provide anything to eat, and they could bring their own food to the project. As long as Su Rongrong can accept them, it's fine.
The other party said this, which really made Su Rongrong not know what to do. So Su Rongrong told Wen Gong about it. Wen Gong heard what those people were doing. I was also very relieved in my heart.
At least when they do these projects, they think about the people, and the people can help them in this way is the ultimate source of energy for them when they build the water bureau.
Wen Gong asked Su Rongrong to report this matter to the county order, and let the county order report it to the imperial court, and let the imperial court call the shots. After all, although the number of more than 100 workers recruited before was quite a lot, because in addition to the construction of the canal, it also needed to dig ditches and channels. It is a big project for those water channels to flow smoothly into every village.
It would not be possible to rely on just a hundred workers, if there were a few more people, then the rice project would be completed more quickly, and the terrain of each village is different, some live in the mountains, some live on the rocky ground. Digging ditches in those villages was a hard job because the terrain was so complicated.
Without more than fifty people in charge of a village, the canal would simply not have been completed in a month. The canal may be built within a month, but that doesn't mean the canal can be dug up. It doesn't mean that there is water flowing in.
In this world, there are no machines to help, no excavators or other diamond tools, all human beings to do it. Many people get tired easily as they do it.
So, it's good to have a lot of people.
Su Rongrong reported this matter to the county order, and the county order was very angry when he heard these things. More than a hundred people are enough for him, and if there are hundreds of more people, how can he live? Su Rongrong could see that the county order didn't want to accept so many people at all. But how could Su Rongrong refuse the kindness of the people? And they need so many people too.
So, Su Rongrong said, "Think about it, if there are too many people, our project may be completed in less than a month, half a month or 20 days." In fact, the food left over in this way is still enough. If it doesn't work, you can report it to the imperial court and let the imperial court make its own decision to see if they are willing to recruit more people to carry out the project excavation. ”
In fact, you don't have to think about the line order to know that the imperial court must be willing, because the imperial court still has a lot of grain peeled off, but the county order did not tell Su Rongrong how much it was, and the county order did not say that Su Rongrong naturally would not take the initiative to ask.
Because as long as the county order and the workers have food, Su Rongrong doesn't care about other things like their wages, even if the county order gets a lot of benefits from it.
The county commander was very reluctant in his heart, he didn't want to agree to Su Rongrong's unreasonable reason, in his current opinion, this project can be carried out slowly, where do you need so many people.
But the county commander looked at the petite and cute looking woman in front of him, and when he came into contact with the other party's determined gaze and affirmative tone, he knew that he could not and would not be allowed to refuse.
So the county magistrate endured the anger in his heart and said to Su Rongrong, "Since the people are so willing to form a team to help us dig the canal, how can we refuse them?" We certainly want to welcome them. After all, things that can make people consciously help are impossible to achieve in the previous generations. ”
"As long as the people try to do their job well, they don't have to worry about anything else. The problem of food and wages will not be given to them by me, who is the county magistrate. ”
The county order said that it was very emotional and generous.
"Then I'm here to thank you for those people."
Su Rongrong left happily. After she went back to tell Wen Gong the good news, she asked Zhao Meng to bring the good news to the village chiefs of those villages.
The village chief was very happy when he knew that the prefectural order had agreed to this matter. They immediately organized the people to go to the canal to help, and many of them volunteered to take their hoes and shovels to the canal project.
The more than 100 people before suddenly saw so many people coming, and they were instantly happy.
Finally, I don't have to dig a ditch with a huge pressure on my shoulders every day.
Because the project is too complicated, there are too many things to do, and the tasks are too heavy. Many people get tired after a few days of drying. Every day they have to dig a lot of dirt and carry a lot of stones. In just a few days, they were tanned and sunburned.
The complexion is getting darker day by day, so they are getting stronger and stronger, but the flesh on their bodies is getting less and less, so they really want the project to end soon.
Now that they see so many people coming to help, they are naturally happy in their hearts.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, the canal project finally lived up to expectations and was completed perfectly in only 20 days.
Su Rongrong watched as the clear water flowed out of the canal. As the people watched the water flow into their villages, into their homes, and then into their bodies, they couldn't help but clap their palms, and some couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of their eyes and say, "Finally there is water, finally there is water." ”
Looking at this scene, many people knelt down to Su Rongrong and said, "Thank you, thank you." Without you, we might not have had water to drink, and we might still have to endure the ravages of the drought, which is very grateful. ”
Faced with the sudden kneeling and thanks, Su Rongrong really didn't know what to do. She immediately went to help the person up, "Don't do this, I will die if you do this." ”
After all, it is not kind to let someone older than her kneel down to her. When those people heard that it would make Su Rongrong lose their lives, they immediately got up.
