Chapter Eighty-Three: Working Together
"Yes, Palace Master." The handmaid bowed her head and replied.
Seeing this, Su Man was silent for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Go and call the young master over." ”
The maid retreated in response to this, and two quarters of an hour later, the maidservant came to the study with Su Ru'er, who was dressed in a goose-yellow gauze dress.
Su Ru'er walked into the study, and the maid retreated with interest and closed the door, while Su Ru'er asked, "Mother, is there anything wrong with me?" ”
Su Man glanced at her when he heard this, and said, "The water in Yucheng is about to rise!" ”
"Isn't it normal for the water to rise in Rain City?" Su Ru'er didn't understand what Su Man meant.
Seeing this, Su Man put down the things in his hand, got up and said: "The rising water in Yucheng is serious and serious, and it is not serious if it is not serious, but Yucheng is the territory of my Tianxin Palace after all, if the water rises and does not care, it will lose the hearts of the people!" ”
When Su Ru'er heard this, she replied: "Then the mother will send someone to take care of it!" She still didn't understand, so she called her over and told her about the rising water in Rain City.
Su Man saw that Su Ru'er didn't understand, and was a little helpless, and then said: "This is the first time that the water in Yucheng has risen this year, as the young master of Tianxin Palace, if you come forward to appease the people, it will be of great benefit to you in the future!" ”
"I'm going?" Su Ru'er was a little surprised, "Didn't you send people when it was very serious before?" "This time, I don't say that it is not serious, but let her, the young master, go!
Seeing this, Su Man frowned slightly, and said earnestly: "Ru'er, you will be the palace master of Tianxin Palace in the future, you should learn to deal with these things, and you must also take the overall situation into account, so that those people in Tianxin Palace can trust me Tianxin Palace has the ability to give them a good life!" Do you understand? ”
Su Ru'er lowered her head when she heard this, and at the same time, a bright light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and then she said, "I know, mother." Then he said, "I'll go and clean up, and I'll leave later." ”
Su Man was relieved to see this, "Go ahead!" She thought that Su Ru'er was sensible, but in fact, Su Ru'er suddenly remembered that Shui Qing'er said that Yun Qingyang and Shui Mingyue were in Rain City now, and it was raining in Rain City, and they must be trapped in Rain City, so if she went, they would definitely still be there!
After Su Ru'er returned to the room, she immediately packed up some soft and set off for Rain City with a maidservant, but by the time she arrived in Rain City, it was already the next day.
------------------------------------------------
Shui Mingyue and Yun Qingyang walked on the street for a while, and Yun Qingyang proposed, "Let's go and see where the river rises?" ”
"Good!" Shui Mingyue nodded, so as to estimate when the water will rise, and by the way, take some precautions in advance.
After a cup of tea, the two came to the river outside the city, and saw that the water in the river was about to overflow about ten centimeters away!
Seeing such a situation, Yun Qingyang and Shui Mingyue began to worry, this water will rise soon, and then it will spread to the city, affecting the normal life of the people of Yucheng.
"Look at it like this, it is estimated that the water will rise in the afternoon!" Yun Qingyang said in a deep voice.
Shui Mingyue shook her head when she heard this, "Hurry up and spread the news!" "But I'm not too sure in my heart, because now that the news is spreading, it is estimated that it will be two days before the others come.
Yun Qingyang also thought of this, and then said, "Let's organize everyone to come together!" It's a little faster. ”
"Okay, we'll go back now." Shui Mingyue agreed.
So the two turned around and went to the inn, and after arriving at the inn, Yun Qingyang directly revealed his identity, which surprised the shopkeeper and Xiao Er and several others.
Then Yun Qingyang said to them: "The king and the princess have already gone to see the river, and it will overflow in the afternoon, so we must take certain precautions before the water rises." ”
After that, he glanced at everyone and said, "Now please go and inform the people of the city, and let them bring the bags and shovels of grain to the city gate to assemble." As long as the young and strong men come, the old and the weak, the women and children stay at home! ”
Although the shopkeeper and the others didn't know what Yun Qingyang was going to do, they still followed the instructions and took the umbrella to inform the others in the city, even Luo Yi and Ling Feng went together.
Now there are only Yun Qingyang and Shui Mingyue left in the inn, and the two are not idle in the inn, but are discussing how to let everyone divide and cooperate later.
Half an hour later, the shopkeeper and the others came back, seeing this, Yun Qingyang asked the shopkeeper to prepare some bags, and then everyone set off together to the city gate.
When I arrived at the gate of the city, I naturally saw the dense umbrella, and under the umbrella there were many people, but they were all according to Yun Qingyang's orders, and all of them were young and strong men, and each man held one or two bags and shovels in his hands.
Everyone was still very surprised that Yun Qingyang came here, so everyone was talking to each other, and it was very lively.
"I didn't expect King Chen to come to Rain City!"
"Not really!"
"This King Chen is so good! And care about us little people! ”
“……”
Then I don't know who in the crowd shouted, "King Chen is here!" Everyone fell silent, and then leaned over and said, "See King Chen, Princess Chen." ”
Seeing this, Yun Qingyang said lightly: "No need to be polite, the purpose of this king today is to hope that everyone will unite to resist the upcoming flood!" ”
Everyone was grateful when they heard this, and then listened to Yun Qingyang and continued: "You have also seen that the river is about to rise, and we must dig a canal before the river rises, and at the same time build a flood control wall. ”
The words fell, everyone look at me, I look at you, they don't have much confidence, and they haven't heard of the flood control wall, "Lord Wang, what is the flood control wall?" ”
Yun Qingyang explained: "It's a wall filled with sand and soil with your bags!" ”
When they heard this, they understood, but to build a wall like this, it would take a lot of sand, and where would the soil come from?
Yun Qingyang looked at everyone and knew what they were thinking, so he said, "Later, some people will use shovels to shovel soil and dig a canal, and the soil shoveled out can just be put into a bag and then pile them up!" ”
When everyone heard this, they instantly became excited, yes, so they are equivalent to having two flood control lines, and they are not delayed!
Seeing everyone's excitement, Yun Qingyang encouraged everyone, and then arranged a division of labor, some people started digging canals from both sides around the city wall, while others followed behind them, putting the soil they dug up into bags.
After the arrangement, Yun Qingyang came to Shui Mingyue's side, Shui Mingyue looked at him coming over, not to mention how proud he was, he looked so handsome just now!
"Do you want to go back first?" Yun Qingyang asked softly.
Hearing this, Shui Mingyue shook her head and said, "I can go dig a canal." "She also wanted to help.
Yun Qingyang disagreed after hearing this, "How can I let you dig a canal?" If you want to stay, just watch it here! Yun Qingyang felt that girls were just here to hurt, how could they do such rough work?
But Shui Mingyue doesn't think like this, everyone is contributing, she is standing here alone and watching, how bad is that! "Or shall I go and fill the soil?"
Seeing this, Yun Qingyang touched her head, "Mingyue, it's too late to hurt you, how can I let you do this?" ”
"But these are extraordinary times." Shui Mingyue still wants to fight for it.
When the words fell, Yun Qingyang smiled helplessly, "Okay! In that case, let's do it together! Yun Qingyang didn't want to be machismo, so he compromised.
Shui Mingyue smiled when she heard this, and then the two went to the city wall together, planning to dig soil and fill soil with the other, while Ling Feng and Luo Yi held umbrellas for the two of them.
And the people on the side saw that Yun Qingyang and Shui Mingyue were also digging and loading soil, and their hearts were much more cordial, and they were very moved!
However, some people still persuaded them, saying that they were princes and princesses, how could they do these jobs? But Yun Qingyang and Shui Mingyue are not real princes and princesses, and they don't look at their identities for these things, so they still follow along.
The rain was still falling, and everyone used to make an umbrella for convenience, but the efficiency was too low, so they simply threw the umbrella!
Although Yun Qingyang and Shui Mingyue were worried that they would catch a cold when they saw this, they had to say that this efficiency was indeed higher, and it was estimated that it was useless for them to say it.
Then Yun Qingyang said to Ling Feng: "Don't call me, you can also help!" ”
Ling Feng was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said, "Lord Wang, your subordinates should still hold an umbrella!" "It's easy to catch a cold in the rain like this!
Seeing this, Yun Qingyang shook his head and said, "I don't need it, you can come too!" One more, faster! ”
Seeing this, Ling Feng had no choice but to put away the umbrella and shovel the soil with a shovel with Yun Qingyang, and Shui Mingyue saw this and said to Luo Yi: "Luo Yi, don't fight either, let's go together, be faster." ”
However, just as she finished speaking, Yun Qingyang's disapproving voice came, "Don't allow it!" "Just kidding, he's a man, his physical fitness is better, and there's nothing wrong with getting wet, but Shui Mingyue is a woman, how can he get caught in the rain?
Shui Mingyue looked at Yun Qingyang as if she didn't have to negotiate, and knew that he felt sorry for her, so she had no choice but to say "oh" and continue to do what she was doing.
Seeing this, Yun Qingyang was relieved, and so did Luo Yi and Ling Feng.
Two hours later, everyone was very efficient, and they had dug a canal around the city wall, although the canal could not hold a lot of water, but they still had sandbags to resist the spread of water. At the same time, their bags were filled with dirt and became simple sandbags that could be piled up later!
And now, after noon, the water in the river is almost level with the land, and in about half an hour, the water will completely overflow!
At this time, Yun Qingyang hurriedly asked people to start stacking sandbags around the city wall, so everyone passed them one by one and began to pile them up at a distance of fifty meters from the city wall.
Three quarters of an hour later, with the efforts of everyone, a flood wall about one meter high was piled up, and everyone looked at their results and smiled happily!
At the same time, he also praised King Chen for his dedication to the people, and personally worked with them to build this flood control wall, as long as the water potential is not large, the general situation can be resisted!
"King Chen's wisdom! King Chen is wise! For a moment, everyone shouted loudly.
Yun Qingyang was a little embarrassed when he saw this, he just did what he was supposed to do, and he was a little uncomfortable being shouted like this.
Shui Mingyue saw him like this, smiled softly, her heart was full of pride, she was so happy to be liked by such a man!
