Chapter 181: It's time to really start dealing with the floods

"If Jade Yarn Country doesn't mind Long Cheng's participation, this matter can be handed over to Long Cheng."

Yu Xiyao heard Zhang Mengjie say this, and knew that they had already thought of a countermeasure: "Dragon City has a way?"

Zhang Mengjie said: "Well, but when removing these small hills, let the farmers living near the small hills temporarily move out, and don't let people get close there."

Yu Xiyao said, "How does Dragon City want to get rid of these small hills?"

Zhang Mengjie said: "You will know then."

After returning to the post station for lunch, Long Tingxiao and Zhang Mengjie were ready to return to Ligu Town.

When leaving, Yu Xilang took the crickets he bought yesterday and prepared for Zhang Mengjie to take away: "Jie'er, you should be very bored if you can't go out to play, this cricket is for you, you can find someone to fight crickets with you when you are bored."

Zhang Mengjie looked at the crickets in the wooden jar and couldn't help but think of last night's punishment and what Yu Xilang said at the dinner table at breakfast, and her face immediately turned red, so that she felt inexplicably rejected when she saw the crickets later.

"I don't know how to fight crickets, I can't play when I take it back, and no one plays with me, so you should keep it for yourself!" Zhang Mengjie said.

"But I bought it for you to play with." Yu Xilang said.

Yu Xiyao said: "Eighth Emperor Brother, how can there be a girl who plays with crickets, and besides, Empress Zhang is not as idle as you."

Yu Xilang saw that Zhang Mengjie didn't accept it, and when she heard Yu Xiyao say this, she stupidly held the cricket jar in her arms.

"Then let's go back and discuss who will deal with this little hill. The fifth prince and the eighth prince also arranged the residents near the small hill. Long Tingxiao said.

"Well, the matter of natural disasters matters. We won't leave the Dragon Monarch and Empress Zhang. I'll ask the coachman to give you a ride. Yu Xiyao said.

Long Tingxiao said: "There is the fifth prince of Lao."

Returning to the halfway point of Xingyun Mountain, I saw rows of bungalows standing there in less than a day. In order to make the Imperial Guards more concentrated, the area of the bungalow is relatively wide. The beds inside also followed Zhang Mengjie's suggestion, they are all bunk beds, of course, in order to allow a bed to sleep a few more people, the bed is also made wider.

They left a separate room for Long Tingxiao and Zhang Mengjie, as well as Mingyue Gongzi and Xiao Chengyi. The room between the two of them was smaller than that of Long Tingxiao and Zhang Mengjie. And there was also a house where there was food, and there was already food in the house. also made a kitchen, and when she saw the kitchen, Zhang Mengjie thought that she couldn't cook so many people's meals if she was tired alone. In the past two days, the Imperial Forest Army has eaten dry food brought from Mincheng. It's time for them to finish eating, right?

"Your Majesty. I have to ask Master Xing to talk to Tan Zhixian, and let the women of Ligu Town come here to cook meals for the soldiers. ”

"I've already told my brother-in-law, otherwise they'd be hungry today."

"Who is the emperor going to let to blow up the small hill?" At the beginning of making explosives, Zhang Mengjie just wanted Longcheng to have a chance of winning the negotiations on the matter of natural disasters. I didn't expect it to be useful.

"Lin Fan must go. But he can't blow it up. Let's decide after everyone else's discussion! Long Tingxiao said.

"Now there is also a key question, I don't know if the gunpowder can still be used." When the explosives exploded, there was a fire, so Zhang Mengjie named it gunpowder here.

"Go ask Lin Fan. Look what he has to say. Long Tingxiao said.

"Just gather everyone together and discuss everything." Zhang Mengjie said.

"It's fine."

Wait for everyone to go to Long Tingxiao's house, of course, most of them are outside the house.

Long Tingxiao said: "Now we have to really start to control the floods. Tan Zhixian went to Bian Cheng before we came to see how we could extradite the water from Ligu Town and Mincheng to Bian Cheng. He thought of several plans, and I felt that one plan was very feasible, and I had discussed it with the envoys of the Jade Yarn Kingdom, the Fifth Prince, and the Eighth Prince, and used this plan. However, there are some small hills in the plan that block the extradition of the water source, fortunately, these small hills are not practical, and it is more convenient for the people of Bian Cheng to remove these small hills, so the fifth prince and the eighth prince have agreed that our Dragon City will help them remove these small hills. I believe you should know what is the fastest way to remove these small hills. ”

"Lin Fan, can that gunpowder still work?" Zhang Mengjie said.

When he knew that he had to discuss things, Lin Fan knew that explosives were going to come in handy.

"In the cave of Wushan Village, Lin Fan checked the gunpowder, but he couldn't see whether it could be used or not, so he listened to his wife's words and put them on the fire room on the last night to bake, and Lin Fan didn't dare to guarantee whether they could be used or not, but Lin Fan found raw materials that could make gunpowder in that cave, so he and his partners made a few without anyone knowing, and we put these few very well, not caught in the rain, although they are not much, they can be used first." Lin Fan said.

"It's good to be useful, and it's impossible to use it all at once, so if you know where the ingredients are, when you don't have enough, you can take them and make them. Now let's talk about who is going to blow up the hill. Long Tingxiao said.

After some deliberation, it was finally decided that the people who made the dynamite would blow up the hill, after all, they were the most familiar with how to use it.

As soon as everyone discussed the matter, the peasant women from Ligu Town came to help cook the rice.

Although Long Tingxiao repeatedly warned Zhang Mengjie not to be embarrassed to go to the kitchen by herself, Zhang Mengjie, who had nothing to do and was bored, still walked into the kitchen unconsciously.

The kitchen here is not like the ordinary kitchen with only one or two stoves, but there is a row of stoves, so there are several women stir-frying in the past, and now at this time, there are definitely not a few dishes, so there are several pots with the same dishes.

There is only one woman putting firewood at the mouth of the stove, and the firewood here is all dry, which should be brought from them by the villagers of Ligu Town in Tanzhi County.

Because there are not many dishes, the peasant women who are cutting and washing are basically done.

"Madame, it's dirty here, don't stain your clothes, Madame." A woman who was cooking saw Zhang Mengjie standing in front of the stove.

"It's okay, do you need my help?" Zhang Mengjie couldn't help but have some itchy hands when she saw the stove, how long has it been since it burned? Although it burned a few times when he was on Yuncheng Mountain, it was only when he taught Xiao Mei'er. The back is basically burned by Xiao Meier.

"No, no, you can eat it right away, don't worry, madam." Such a delicate and beautiful girl, how could the woman here believe that Zhang Mengjie really knew how to cook, just as she was hungry.

Zhang Mengjie knew what they were thinking, so she watched how they burned it.

"Eldest sister, you put too much water in it, wait a minute, there is either too much soup in the dish, or the dish is overcooked and the dish is not good-looking, and the dish will not taste good."

"This eldest sister, the green vegetables don't need to be put in water, otherwise they will become vegetable soup."

"And this eldest sister, you put the ginger and garlic too early."

Zhang Mengjie pointed out the inappropriateness of the stir-fried women one by one, and the women responded with their mouths, but the actual actions were still their own. (To be continued.) )
