The northern desert warmed up in March, and the people began to plough the ground to prepare for sowing, and the night clouds were not idle, as the so-called people take food as the sky, and whether the people can survive in Yunxi City depends on the income of the crops. So, early in the morning, he took his subordinates to the countryside to inspect.

Walking on the ground, I heard a crisp and loud chant from afar: we are reminiscing, talking about that winter, on the top of the mountain in winter, revealing the vitality of spring, our story, talking about that winter, in the good times of spring, left in our hearts......

Mu Xi raised his eyes and looked around, only to see several pairs of young men and women working in the geography not far away, the men were digging pits with hoes, and the women were holding cloth bags around their waists, reaching out to grab a handful of seeds from the cloth bags and spilling them into the pits. The women were sown on their sides, their mouths were still singing happily, the men looked back at the women from time to time, several people looked at each other and smiled, the men were a little tired, but now they had the energy to continue digging holes.

The whole field was neatly dug out of shallow pits, and when the women had finished sowing the seeds, the men raised their hoes and covered them with soil, and looked at the fruits of their labor, their eyes were full of joy, which was their hope.

On one side of the field, a group of men were digging pits, laughing and scolding each other, giving each other motivation. Mu Xi's heart moved, and he walked over. Ye Fuyun was talking to an old man, and seeing Mu Xi leave without saying a word, Ye Fuyun knew in her heart that she must have found something, so she also followed.

Mu Xi looked at a middle-aged man with a smile and asked, "Uncle, this pit you dug is for water storage?" ”

In fact, when Mu Xi came over, a large group of men stopped what they were doing and looked at her, the countrymen basically never saw any nobles, and when they entered the city, they occasionally saw rich people wearing silk and satin. Although Mu Xi's clothes are a little plain, the fabric is not ordinary at first glance, coupled with her extraordinary temperament and a beautiful girl's family, it naturally attracted everyone's attention.

And Mu Xi swept over everyone, but saw that the middle-aged man in front of him who was digging a pit had a kind of bookish anger, not like ordinary people doing farm work, so he asked out loud.

A crisp female voice of inquiry came from the top of his head, and the man looked up at Mu Xi: white cheeks, no fat powder, beautiful and refined, wearing a light blue dark pattern gauze dress, it didn't look special.

Under the sun, the dress is glowing with a soft luster, the fabric of this dress should be silk brocade, this kind of brocade cloth, even if it is the daughter of the ordinary eunuch family, it is not easy to wear, not to mention that it is still worn to the ground, this woman must not be simple!

However, he still nodded very honestly and replied: "The girl guessed correctly, I think the girl also knows that there are often droughts in this part of the Northern Desert, and if you don't store water early, I am afraid that there will be no water source and die during the growing period of the seedlings, so we have to dig the pit while we have just sown the seeds." ”

Mu Xi nodded clearly, and said in his heart: The opportunity has come!

"Dig a pit like this but can't withstand the soil for many years, over time this pit is filled with more and more shallower and shallower soil, the water that can be stored is limited, and when it is really used, I am afraid that it is also a drop in the bucket, and it can not meet the needs of the seedlings."

After listening to Mu Xi's words, the man seemed to be a little unconvinced, but he had to admit that she was right in his analysis, so he asked, "Listen to the girl's opinion, but is there a better way to store water?" ”

Another dark-skinned man with a little rough skin said: "This method of digging a pit to store water was still thought up by Mr. Qiu, little girl, do you understand it or not, don't make trouble here." ”

Mr. Qiu in the dark man's mouth was the middle-aged man in front of him, but seeing that he was holding his short beard and did not answer the words of the dark man, his expression was not half modest.

Mu Xi replied with a faint smile: "The little woman can't be called a good way, but seeing everyone digging a pit here, she suddenly thought of a way in a flash of inspiration, and I don't know if it is feasible, so I want to say it and ask Mr. Qiu for advice." ”

Mr. Qiu watched Muxi's words and demeanor respectfully, without losing everyone's demeanor, and guessed that she must not be an ordinary person, coupled with the dress, he was more sure of the guess in his heart, so he replied politely: "The little lady is polite, to make Qiu ashamed, the little lady has any high opinion to say that I will listen to it, and Qiu will listen to it." ”

Mu Xi was down-to-earth and generous, and said with a light smile: "The North Desert is perennially dry, water source is a major problem in the North Desert, and the harvest of the North Desert in previous years is also more and less, and there are countless large and small pits dug up, but they are often filled shallow by the soil, and there are many places to use water, which can not solve the needs of more seedlings at all."

The little woman saw that everyone was digging the pit diligently, thinking that digging the pit so hard every year, paying so much sweat but not getting the effect of long-term peace and stability, so she was thinking about what to do to keep this pit from being filled. If this pit is also like a bath, then there is no need to worry about being filled, so as to achieve the effect of once and for all. ”

Mr. Qiu's face was obviously happy, but he quickly said with a sad face: "If these pits are all paved with marble, how much marble will be needed, I'm afraid the imperial court will not agree to do this." ”

Mu Xi was still not arrogant and said: "Marble is definitely not good, and this big pit and small pit not only looks messy, but also prone to accidents." Sir can think about it, if you use ordinary bluestone to pave the pit, can it also have the same effect? In addition, we can dig a long canal along the middle of the ground, so that it looks neat, easy to store water, and can meet the needs of each family. ”

Mr. Qiu couldn't help but clap his hands and praised: "Wonderful, really wonderful, this method is not only feasible, but also can benefit thousands of generations, if it is successful, maybe it will go down in history, the little lady is really a god." ”

As he spoke, Mr. Qiu bowed deeply excitedly, this time he was convinced.

Mu Xi was embarrassed by him, the adoring eyes of the people around her, Mu Xi was deeply ashamed, she came from modern times, in that era of advanced science and technology, this simple method of digging ditches is really nothing extraordinary, she just borrowed it.

Ye Fuyun, who came over, heard Mu Xi's words, and was also impressed by her. The relationship between them is already very close, but Mu Xi never mentioned her own affairs to him, she is like a mystery, she came suddenly, and he was even more afraid that she would leave suddenly one day as she came.
