As they walked along the village, they found a dry canal in front of them.

"Look, there's a canal ahead, and it looks like there was water here before." An Hao hurriedly took a few steps forward, and found that the canal was a little dry, but not as serious as the cracks in the fields.

Chu Xingze nodded slightly, he looked around and found that this canal was the only source of water in this village.

If they need to water the fields, they have to divert water from this canal here.

The canal seems to stretch for hundreds of miles, with many branches in its direction. But now that this canal is dry, it will naturally make the villages that come to this canal to cross the river run out of food.

"It seems that this canal is the most important thing, and it needs to be re-channeled to solve their fundamental drought problem." Chu Xingze hit the nail on the head.

But they all know very well that this is the most difficult problem.

An Wei agreed with his words, and the two of them left after a brief discussion. When I return to the hotel where I am temporarily staying, I find that Red Rose has returned.

"How? What about what you are going to know? An Wei and Chu Xingze asked in unison.

Hongqiang looked disgraced, and it was obvious that the situation she saw was very unoptimistic.

Especially when I think of the suffering of those people, I feel uncomfortable.

"Young Master, Madam! Just now, Hongqiang went to investigate and found that many people in the village here had fled, and those who stayed behind were old, weak, sick and disabled. ”

She told Chu Xingze and An Wei about the situation she had inquired about, and when she heard this, there was a little more sorrow between their eyebrows.

Then they sat down on one side and began to discuss the most important thing at the moment.

Hongqiang didn't express an opinion, Chu Xingze thought for a while, and he stared at An Wei with soft eyebrows.

"Bringing water into the canal right now is the solution to the fundamental problem, but I think it's more important than that. Bringing water into the canal is not something that can be done in a day or two, but they may not be able to last a few days! Chu Xingze has a clear mind and can clearly distinguish the priorities of things.

An Wei was also in thought, and suddenly she thought of a pretty good solution.

"Now that the drought is a disaster, we might as well choose a good place to dig a well and dig the well deeper, so that we can dig out the water source and temporarily solve their urgent needs, what does the prince think?"

The method she proposed made Chu Xingze's eyes light up, but Chu Xingze fell into sorrow and confusion again.

"That's a great idea, but what if there's no water? He doesn't know how deep he has to dig to get water...... these questions have always haunted his mind.

These words made An Wei disagree, there were too many civilizations between them.

Even if Chu Xingze didn't know, she knew better than anyone else that there must be water underground. As long as they dig deeper, there is no way that they will not be able to dig water.

It will take time, but it's the only way to do it right now.

"Don't worry, we can choose a relatively humid place, as long as all the labor force is gathered, we can dig a well in a short time. You can also continue to dig a few feet on the original dry well, so that the success rate of water production is higher. ”

An Bin's eyes shone with wisdom.

Her suggestion made Chu Xingze's confused eyes suddenly become much brighter, as if he had cleared all the clouds.

couldn't help but look at An Huan with admiration, but I really didn't expect An Huan to be such a smart woman.

Many people can't think of a way, she can think of it, even she is a little ashamed of herself.

"That's a good idea, you can give it a try!" Chu Xingze agreed.

This matter was imminent, and they didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly asked Red Qiang to summon the local officials here.

Within half an hour, the local officials had brought hundreds of fairly strong men over.

Among them were the officials, and even the local officials were personally involved, and they added up to more than fifty people.

"Back to the prince, these are more than 50 people that the lower officials reluctantly found, although some of them are old, but at least they can add strength. If there are not enough people, then the subordinates will think of a way. ”

The local official clenched his hands into fists and looked at Chu Xingze with some fear.

"This man is enough! You go down first. Chu Xingze waved his hand at him and asked him to take everyone to wait outside.

After they left, Chu Xingze explained to Hongqiang that he planned to start acting the next day, although there was no guarantee that this method would be successful, but he could only try his best for now.

This matter was handed over to Hongqiang to preside, and An Wei and Chu Xingze were also thinking about other strategies.

After a busy day, after dinner at dusk, Chu Xingze and An Wei fell into exhaustion.

"If the prince is tired, it is better to rest early, there will be a fierce battle tomorrow!" An Wei's smile was a little ill-intentioned.

Chu Xingze glanced at her lightly, how could he not know that An Wei was making fun of himself.

"So Mrs. has to massage her husband's back tonight, otherwise her husband will lose his majesty in front of everyone tomorrow, how can it be good, wouldn't it be that even with Mrs. will be criticized?" Chu Xingze had a smile between his eyebrows and directly held An Bin's hand.

An Wei didn't think too much, she just wanted to tease Chu Xingze, but she didn't think that it would be equivalent to digging a hole for herself! Since he dug it with his own hands, he could only bury the pit with his own hands.

went back to the room and used his own special technique to help Chu Xingze massage his back and make his old man feel more comfortable. It went on for nearly half an hour, and Chu Xingze actually fell asleep on the bed. Seeing that he was already asleep, An Wei pulled the quilt to help him cover it, and then lay down in another place to rest.

Chu Xingze and An Bin's side was going smoothly, the two of them shuttled between the mountains and forests, trying to find a suitable place to dig a well, and by the way, they took a look at how to bring water into the canal, and discussed their plans.

However, this matter was also spread to the emperor's ears by something that had a heart. While they were making plans, many of their courtiers openly objected in the early court.

"Your Majesty, there is no conclusion on the matter of your assignment of King Ji to the south, and Wei Chen thinks that King Ji only cares about playing in the mountains and rivers, but does not do his job. The minister implored the emperor to find him back and ask for the guilt, and then sentenced the loyal ministers and good generals to go to deal with the drought! ”

The one who went up was a minister in the imperial court.

Hearing his words, another minister stepped forward, and his expression was not much different from that of this colleague next to him, and they all hoped that the emperor would recall Chu Xingze.

Listening to their words, the emperor's face was hard to see, and he didn't expect that someone would write a letter to ask for Chu Xingze's guilt.
