Chapter 20: Change
Tang Yue raised his legs and came in, and the black gauze he was wearing gently swayed with his movements, looking a little fairy.
"What's next for you?"
"First plug the gap and resettle the refugees, but the riverbed along the river has been higher than that on both sides of the river since ancient times, but fortunately, the rain has gradually decreased in recent days, if there is no accident, it will be good quickly, and it can be built in more than a month."
Su Huai'an said a serious thing, like a student answering the master's question, she was more restrained than when she was in Tianmen Mountain, and she felt much more nervous than the exam.
Tang Yue nodded, absentmindedly scanning the furnishings in her house, it was still the old house that had just arrived at the river, everything was poorly arranged, and it could be seen that it was a home from the previous year.
"I've wronged you." Su Huai'an thought that Tang Yueshi was not satisfied with these furniture, so he stepped forward to pour him tea, "It's hard work." ”
Tang Yue looked at the tea she put in front of her and was still dangling, "Where is the hard work?" ”
"This ......"
Su Huai'an didn't know how to answer, she didn't know whether to say that Tang Yue had worked hard for hundreds of miles with her, or whether to say that Tang Yue had worked hard to find the key person to prove Wu Gong, but more because she didn't expect Tang Yue to come at all, he didn't ask about the world, lived in seclusion in the suburbs of Beijing, and lived quite comfortably, it stands to reason that she pulled him in this right and wrong.
She felt sorry for a while, but she didn't dare to say it, for fear of being robbed by Tang Yue.
She was hesitating, Tang Yue looked at her uneasy appearance, and finally relented, "Aren't you going to check the things in the Yanhe Mansion?" ”
"Yes."
"Found?"
"Not yet." Su Huai'an felt beads of sweat creeping down his forehead.
"Didn't check it or can't find it?"
"I haven't had time to check it yet."
"No need to look it up." Tang Yue teased her robe, "It's all obvious, what about Jiang Zongnian?" ”
"Someone has been sent to the capital."
Tang Yue asked and answered Su Huai'an, Tang Yue was bored, but Su Huai'an was trembling, he couldn't stand, and he didn't dare to sit.
"Didn't you interrogate Jiang Zongnian when he left?"
"I'm busy repairing the embankment, although the emperor didn't give a deadline, but I think it's better to finish it as soon as possible."
"You're thinking so well."
Su Huai'an didn't know what to say when Tang Yue said, as if she said a word, Tang Yue's next sentence was waiting for how to refute her, but fortunately she didn't speak later, lest she suffocate herself from internal injuries.
Tang Yue could see that Su Huai'an didn't want to say more, took the tea cup she had poured just now, picked it up and took a small sip, "Go back and let Shaoguang send you some Lu'an melon slices." ”
Su Huai'an felt a loud sound in her heart, and said in her heart that the shaking light was more moody than Tang Yue, and she was even more unkind to see herself, she was even more afraid of shaking the light in her heart.
Don't say that she is sending something to her, even if she usually talks to her, she has to be ready to eat the cannonball, especially this cannonball can't be spit out, so she can only swallow it hard.
Tang Yue couldn't help but be angry when he looked at her, he was in the capital, in front of the owner of Huyue House, who dared to touch him, even if he was eight hundred years old, he couldn't condescend to run to this hundreds of miles to work, this worry about her for days made him eat badly, sleep not well, and his temper became bigger for no reason, this girl was not a worry-free girl, she just wanted to pull out the tiger's whiskers, she thought a lot, and always thought about things simply, he just wanted to say two words to her, just saw that her eyes were slightly red.
This look of crying and holding back made him feel reluctant in his heart, in fact, there was nothing wrong with thinking about her, she just didn't want to be like most women in the backyard of the house, she just had her own hobbies, but this hobby started construction, and the cost and difficulties encountered were great, and what was more troublesome was that she wanted to figure out the old things of the Ji family and move the person who couldn't move.
Tang Yue put his arm on the corner of the table with some worry, he was a little worried, as long as Jiang Zongnian was let go, as long as Jiang Zongnian was out of the boundary of Yanhe Mansion, Jiang Zongnian was afraid that he would not be able to live.
He knew that Su Huai'an was determined, and in order to achieve his goal, he was willing to suffer any hardship and accept any grievances, but how could the royal affairs be so simple, and he had already thought about things when he lowered his head and drank tea.
"How long are you going to stay in Riverside House?" Tang Yue put the tea cup back on the table, he had been raised well since he was a child, and even the simple action of putting tea was very good-looking.
But Su Huai'an was a little sneering, "Hmm...... Well...... Probably going to ......"
"What do you want?" Tang Yue couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows.
He had a faint premonition, and felt that no matter what this girl did, he could give her a cover.
"It's going to take about three years."
"Three years?" Tang Yue asked rhetorically, as he expected, she still had an idea.
"If you want to dig out the river, you can just irrigate the thousands of hectares of fertile land below, so the probability of flooding in the future is much smaller."
Tang Yue couldn't help but rub her eyebrows, "Did you tell the emperor about this?" ”
"Someone has been sent to deliver the letter, it should be accurate, after all, this is also a matter of several generations."
"Okay," he shook his robe and stood up, "I'll be back early tomorrow morning." ”
"Huh?" Su Huai'an was stunned by Tang Yue's words, "You just came and are leaving?" ”
"Or else? What else is going on here? ”
"I didn't ...... No. ”
Su Huai'an thought about it, and still added, "When do you leave tomorrow, I'll send you off." ”
Tang Yue waved her hand, "You can do what you want here with peace of mind, and I will watch it for you in Jingli." ”
Su Huai'an reacted at this time, "Tang Yue, are you here along the river because of me?" ”
Tang Yue suddenly stopped talking.
Su Huai'an understood a little, "Tang Yue, this is really ......"
She wanted to thank Tang Yue, because if it weren't for Tang Yue, she was afraid that even if she could find Wu Gong, it would take a lot of effort.
"Thank me, I don't have to, he will return to Beijing in the future, and remember to give me a little when he passes by the lotus cake shop." Tang Yue turned her head sideways and finished speaking, pushed open the door and went out, gradually disappearing into the rain curtain.
About half a month later, the emperor's decree came, and Su Huai'an was at ease when she got the emperor's decree, to the effect that she wanted her to be at ease in the riverside mansion to manage the river.
But there was also a not very pleasant thing that came to her, Jiang Zongnian was on the way to the capital, he actually took poison in fear of sin, it was at night, and when he was discovered, his body was already stiff.
She took another note saying that Jiang Zongnian was in a mess, feeling strange in her heart, and she couldn't say what was strange, and she regretted that she didn't have time to interrogate Jiang Zongnian's affairs along the river, she had always had some friendship with Dali Temple, and she thought that Dali Temple would be more detailed and in-depth than she asked, but she didn't expect that no one would be gone before they arrived in Beijing, but she had doubts in her heart, Jiang Zongnian was a prisoner in plain clothes, how could there be such a poison as Hedinghong?
She sat at the table with the paper ball, thinking about it for no reason, but she felt that behind this strange place was terrifying.
The good weather that Yanhe had been looking forward to finally arrived, just when the embankment was repaired, Su Huai'an woke up in the morning and her eyes were full of light, she thought it was her own dream at first, until Fuxi shook her vigorously, she opened her eyes again.
The first thing that catches your eye is Fuxi's angry face, followed by his cross-legged movements.
"My lord, it's almost noon, you can't get up at all."
Su Huai'an patted his head at this time, "It's all this time?" ”
"Yes, Brother Beard, they are already waiting for the adults to discuss how to build the gate at the height, didn't they use molten iron to fill the stone to reinforce it before, but the door to close the water at the height is still waiting for the adults to arrange."
Fuxi has been by Su Huai'an's side for a long time, and she understands a lot.
Su Huai'an straightened up a carp, washed up and followed Fuxi to the hall, she was used to men's clothes on weekdays, and she could feel the benefits of men's clothes more and more, unlike women's complicated wear, just pull a bun and cover a robe to go out.
"Su-sama."
"Morning."
"You're a head early." Ugly San'er called the person who asked early, "When is this?" ”
Su Huai'an was slightly embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I'm a little late today." ”
The bearded man snorted to relieve Su Huai'an, "We have just arrived, and Master Su has worked hard during this time, so it is understandable to sleep lazily once in a while!" Ha ha! Hahahaha! ”
The bearded man is a rough man, and he is not good at saying these scenes, and everyone is silent, which makes him a little embarrassed.
Su Huai'an pretended to cough and walked to the drawing, the red place with cinnabar is the embankment that has been rebuilt, and the place circled in black is the place where the old embankment that has been abandoned is reused.
Use bluegrass to mix the juice, and the place where you row is the place where everyone discussed building a dam at a high place, so that you can usually raise fish, and you can also open the sluice gate to release water during the flood season, but this kind of construction method, Su Huai'an has only seen it in ancient books.
"My lord, how do you fix this?" The bearded man scratches his head, he only does some hard work, and using his brain is his weakest point.
Su Huai'an stood in front of the drawings, holding the brush barrel and comparing back and forth, "As for where this gate is going to be repaired, huh...... Why don't you go and see it together in the afternoon? ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, but no one speaks.
Su Huai'an was still holding a pen and dangling, but when he heard that everyone was not talking, he turned around, "What do you think?" ”
"This ......" everyone looked at the bearded man.
The bearded beard hung on his face, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he was uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but shout, "What are you looking at me for?" Listen to the adults for something! ”
Su Huai'an could see that everyone's mood was not right, "What's wrong?" She put the brush down, "Do you have anything you want to say to me?" ”
"My lord, it's been so long since the embankment was repaired, and they all said that they had finished repairing both sides of the riverbank, and now they have to go up to get some sluice, where is there such trouble." Ugly San'er doesn't understand, in fact, everyone doesn't understand it either.
But everyone held back and didn't say anything, muttering how the embankment had been repaired for months, and the rain had stopped when the construction of the embankment began, but it didn't seem to be able to rain at that time, and it was not until now that the sky was clear, and everyone thought that they should go back to spend the winter, but Master Su said that the work was not finished yet.
Everyone was about to go into winter, and when the snowflakes were about to fall, Master Su said that he would repair the sluice.
Su Huai'an looked around, and saw that everyone was hugging their legs and squatting, all of them looked like they had doubts in their hearts and didn't say anything, so she smiled and made a relaxed look, "What?" Do you think so in your hearts? ”
"Okay," she clapped her hands, "since everyone has doubts in their hearts, I'll tell you what this sluice is, most of us are people along the river, and we know that the climate along the river is a bit strange, when it's going to be dry, it's really drought, when it's going to be waterlogged, oh," Su Huai'an patted the drawings nailed to the board, "It's also really waterlogged." ”
"But if you build a sluice gate to intercept the flow of water in a suitable place, in times of drought, it is like opening an open door, you can pull the sluice gate up, open the sluice gate and release water, and irrigate the fields, if there is a flood, it will be like this," she put her hand vertically on the other hand, "it is like this," she put her hand tightly with the other hand to form a vertical angle for everyone to see, "you can intercept the flood that flows down from a high place, although it is a little more laborious now, but it is definitely a project that is also good for future generations." ”
She spoke so easily that even people with no engineering experience could have roughly understood what it meant
