Chapter 677: Go and find the source

With this idea, Song Yunshu hurriedly pulled the city lord back to the city lord's mansion, she wanted to see how the map drew a rice city.

Maybe you can find some clues from the map.

At this time, it was almost noon, and it was time to eat, but Song Yunshu had no intention of eating at the moment, ignoring Wan'er's invitation.

"Lord Song, why don't we have lunch first, we can't stay up like this." The lord of the city persuaded.

Song Yunshu has seen everything he has done in the past few days, and he really admires this first female official in this dynasty.

She can sit in the position of this female official, not in vain, but really has the heart to do things for the people.

The city lord couldn't help but feel a little guilty, he had been in the position of the city lord for so many years, but he had never been able to make the people have enough food and warm clothes.

"I think I've told you before, the people are the most important thing, but you rush to eat a meal, how can you do things for the people?" Song Yunshu couldn't help but scold.

In the past few days, she has been a little dissatisfied with the performance of the city lord, she is too indecisive, and she is a little timid in doing things.

But what Song Yunshu didn't expect was that this was the first time to receive distinguished guests, and restraint was inevitable.

The city lord hurriedly explained, and said: "Lord Song, you should understand a sentence, people are iron, rice is steel, if people don't have the support of food, how to do things well, the people outside will be just that, now you are our leader, even you have fallen, then what should they do?" ”

As he spoke, his emotions became excited, he knew that Song Yunshu had always looked down on him, and felt that he had no heart to do things for the people.

These words said everything in his heart, and Song Yunshu faintly admired this city lord.

Thinking of the previous misunderstanding of him, Song Yunshu also felt a little guilty in his heart.

So he followed Wan'er to dinner, and the mood of the city lord at the dinner table was a little low.

But at the moment, his wife and children are here, and Song Yunshu can't comfort him much, so he can only eat well as soon as possible and enlighten him when he goes into the study to discuss.

"You go and get the map, and I'll study it." Song Yunshu commanded.

Water source is one of the most important factors in the growth of rice seedlings, and you may be able to find out a thing or two from here.

The city lord immediately took the detailed map of Daocheng, and then stood behind Song Yunshu without speaking, his eyes staring at her tightly.

Song Yunshu was a little uncomfortable, but he was embarrassed to say it out loud.

But Song Yunshu, who was watched for a while, really couldn't stand it.

The city lord was looking at her here, and there was no way to take a closer look at this picture.

"City Lord, if you have something to do, go and get busy first, I'll just look at this map by myself." Song Yunshu was a little embarrassed to drive the city lord away.

The city lord understood, and immediately withdrew from the study, and then asked Wan'er to send a bowl of sweet soup to Song Yunshu.

Song Yunshu looked at this bowl of sweet soup and felt a lot better, so he hurriedly checked the map.

Daocheng is a square layout, but the buildings in the city are scattered, even the rice fields are one in the east and one in the west, but the rice fields in the northeast corner are relatively dense.

And the whole Daocheng river is sparse, only there is a river in the south, and the south is the direction where the city gate is located.

Perhaps because of this, the rice outside the city seems to be growing well.

The rice in the city is naturally small because there is no water source to nourish it.

Just when Song Yunshu was studying carefully, the door suddenly opened, Chu Yuchen came back, looking at her serious appearance, Chu Yuchen was not easy to disturb.

Just stood at the desk with a smile on her face, waiting for her to find out.

Song Yunshu felt that the light in front of him seemed to be a little insufficient, so he looked up and found that Chu Yuchen was actually standing in front of him.

"When did you come back, how do I not know?" She was a little surprised, obviously she didn't hear any noise.

"I saw that you were so serious, so I didn't bother you." Chu Yuchen said with a slight smile.

"Where's Xiaobao?" Song Yunshu suddenly asked about Xiaobao, she had no time to take care of Xiaobao when she went out every day these days.

But he estimated that Chu Yuchen, like her, didn't know Xiaobao's situation.

"Xiaobao plays with Wan'er every day, and she is very happy, even if she is not with Wan'er, there is still the old mother who is in charge of the king, and now she should go to catch frogs with Xiatian." To Song Yunshu's surprise, Chu Yuchen was so aware of Xiaobao's situation.

"Xiaobao seems to like her a lot." As he spoke, Chu Yuchen added.

"That's good, as long as someone accompanies him, it's rare to take Xiaobao out, and I have to let him take a good break, there are many things these days, I haven't accompanied Xiaobao well, he must be crying." Song Yunshu was a little worried, Xiaobao had never left her for so long.

"Then you can rest assured, he is very happy to play with Wan'er every day now, and he probably forgot about the two of us." When he said this, Chu Yuchen's tone still had a sour taste.

The funny Song Yunshu laughed, but it is true, Xiaobao is very close to this Wan'er.

This Wan'er also looks like a very good little girl, and the city lord's tutor is very good.

Although his wife didn't come forward much, she sat there quietly every time, and Song Yunshu also had a very good impression of her.

Song Yunshu often thinks that he wants to be like his wife, and it should be impossible to run his family and business at home every day.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's hurry up and study it." Song Yunshu knew that the topic had diverged at the moment, and he was in a good mood, so he picked up the map again and looked at it.

Chu Yuchen also stood on Song Yunshu's side and accompanied her to look at the map.

The crux of the problem Song Yunshu had already found out about it, so he told Chu Yuchen everything.

"Water is supposed to be the most important factor for rice growth, but there is only a river to the south to support the cultivation of the whole city, so it is understandable that rice does not grow well."

And there is another reason, the production here is backward, and no one should want to study the water quality.

If the water is polluted, even if the water is sufficient, the rice will not grow well.

With such a thought, the problem behind it was easily solved, so the next day, Song Yunshu took Xiao Wu to go to the east of Daocheng alone to have a look.

Because it is a diversion of the river to the south and the main source of water for the rice fields here, she has to go to see how the water is doing.

But when the reorganization knows, I have to go with him, because the road conditions there are more complicated, and I am afraid that something will happen to my father Song Yunshu.

Song Yunshu thought that the city lord was in the way, but after thinking about it, the city lord knew the situation here better than himself, and it might be useful if he took him.

"Well, you can't stop me from what I want to do." Song Yunshu stated in advance.

Because he was going to check the water source, he might have to go down to the river when the time came, and if the lord of the city didn't let himself go down to the river to get water because he was worried, then things would become tricky.

The city lord nodded and said, "I'm just afraid that you are not familiar with the road conditions." ”

With the approval of the city lord, Song Yunshu and his party thought about setting off quickly, but there were still some things to consider.
