Tang Qing is Miss Gao's personal maid, clever and sensible, and led the mountain peach to quickly find the falling kite, which happened to be on the rockery.

"Girl, wait, I'll find a little guy to help you fetch a kite."

Shan Tao stopped Tangerine Qing and tied her sleeves well, "Sister Tangerine, don't bother, this rockery is not high, I'll just climb up and get it myself, soon." ”

Without waiting for Tang Qing to hesitate to agree, Shan Tao neatly stepped on the rocks of the rockery, climbed up, and soon reached the top, pretending to say: "The line is entangled, Sister Tangerine, you can help me get some scissors." ”

Seeing that Shan Tao's hands and feet were nimble, and the rockery was indeed not high, Tang Qing no longer hesitated to turn around and look for scissors, and at this time, Shan Tao's eyes were already locked on the study.

The immortal magic worked, the brick wall retreated, and I saw Gao Xianling and a man wearing silk and satin sitting together in the study, talking and laughing, the man seemed to be holding a few pieces of paper in his hand, and he couldn't read the words clearly, and Gao Xianling took out a stack of thick silver tickets, put them into a wooden box in front of people and handed them over.

Thinking of the embankment seen in the upper reaches of Dahe Village, the fortifications are simple and there is a shortage of stones, which is obviously superficial, and now the county order is still privately taught and received by the officials under the Ministry of Works, what else can I not understand.

"Lady Peach, the scissors are here."

Tangerine's voice made Shantao come back to her senses, took the scissors and took off the kite, jumped to the ground in a few steps, and smiled at Tangerine, "Since Sister Gao has something to do, I won't stay longer, and I'll come to see her next time."

Coming out of the county mansion, Shan Tao saw the young master of the Zhao family holding a kite and looking depressed, but he didn't bother to ask again.

After the beginning of spring this year, the rain is frequent, and there is a river running through Cangjiang County, which is a place that is extremely vulnerable to flooding.

Not only that, but the 20-day labor that was originally planned to be ended was also ended ahead of schedule, and it was only 10 days of work before the river could be cleaned up.

Uncle Sun only went home to see his daughter-in-law and son, and then immediately rushed to the mountain house.

Shan Erlang just took a hot bath, and Shan Tao was giving him decoction to ward off the cold, and when he saw his godfather come in, he poured another bowl.

Uncle Sun frowned and drank it, and couldn't help grinning, "Siya, you will become a doctor in the future, can you prescribe some sweet medicine." ”

When I used to go to Sun's house, Uncle Sun always loved to stuff mountain peaches with candy, and at first I thought that Aunt Sun liked it, but later I learned that Uncle Sun was afraid of bitterness and sweetness.

Shan Tao smiled and added another half bowl, "Good medicine is bitter." ”

After the two of them drank all the medicine, they met together and talked about the embankment, and Shan Tao counted the information he found one by one, and the brows of the two became deeper and deeper.

Most of the books that Jiro Tianshan read these days are history books, because the history of this era is different from the era in which he lives, so he can only check and fill in the gaps, and he does not know much about the contemporary bureaucratic system.

The family doesn't speak two words, although Uncle Sun's origin is uncertain, but when it comes to the actions of the Gao County Order, he is the first to say, "The officials in the south are colluded, most of them are protégés of the old dynasty clans, and it is not uncommon for scribes to collude with each other to seek power and profit." It's just that this time the flood control funds were moved, and only one Cangjiang County magistrate dared to pay bribes, and the officials above would not be very clean. ”

"If you don't know, it's okay, but I asked my eldest brother, the rain in spring today is not good, and the possibility of flooding is great, if the officials ignore the people's livelihood, then how can we save ourselves?" Although Yamajiro has not entered the officialdom, the books that can be read are not read in vain, and the officialdom of the scholars has never been a clear water altar.

Shan Tao, who was silently listening on the side, said: "Don't talk about the distance, just say that Qingshan Village, surrounded by mountains on three sides, only one stream passes, if you change the direction of the river at the entrance, plus the terrain, can you avoid danger?" ”

Although the river is natural, it is not the king's land, and it is not a trivial matter to change the river privately.

The law does not blame the public, if the situation forces it, in order to protect oneself, one's life is important, and it is not impossible to consider it.

"Let's wait and see, if the rain doesn't stop, let's discuss this matter with the village chief, and there are neighboring villages, if you can remind them, you can also wake up, and there is nothing you can do on the side."

was silent for a long time, and finally Uncle Sun slapped the board, he looked at the dripping rain outside the window, he didn't know what he was thinking, and helplessness appeared in his eyes.

In the next few days, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no tendency to stop, and the second-room family was already short of grain, so while there was no news in the county, most of the savings were exchanged for grain and stored at home.

The village chief of Qingshan Village finally couldn't sit still, and led the villagers to start changing the river channel, and changed the river to an uninhabited place on the outside of the West Mountain.

Braving the rain to rush to work, there are many people who complain, not everyone is far-sighted, for example, Du Shi refused to suffer this crime again, only said that he was close to the county test after spring planting, and refused to contribute.

But in the end, the village chief is still very authoritative in the village, and he persuaded many people, and even Erzhu, who followed the ancient master to learn the craft, was called back by the big house.

Shan Tao and Du Yingqiu went to the county again, bought a lot of herbs to ward off the cold in Baojitang, cooked them for the villagers to protect against the cold, and did not earn this money, only charged a few cents.

In this way, the work in the spring field of this year was basically delayed, but in a hurry, the course of the creek was finally improved, and some stones were laid on the outside, which was better than nothing.

The villagers of Qingshan Village did their best, and they really waited for that destiny.

On a rainy night, the rain was as heavy as a hole in the sky, and in the sound of rain and thunder, the river embankments in Yizhou collapsed large and small, and the water filled the land.

"Erlang, Tao Tao, wake up!" Du Yingqiu desperately closed the window that was blown open by the strong wind, and the wolf cub on the first floor was woken up by the wind and rain, barking incessantly.

Hearing the shout, Shan Tao instantly opened his eyes, grabbed the wooden spear placed on the inside of the bed, looked at the storm outside the window before reacting to what was happening, put on his shoes and got out of bed to the master bedroom.

Because Qingshan Village had changed the river before, although the thunderstorm outside the house looked a little scary, but there was no flooding for the time being, and the family of three was only busy closing the study room containing food, and drove the overly frightened chickens to the guest bedroom upstairs.

In the face of natural disasters, people seem as small as ants, three people and a wolf are crowded in the hall with the best view, and after Shan Tao uses immortal magic to confirm that the big house is okay, they wait for the rain to ease together.

"What time is it?" Du Yingqiu rubbed her eyes, she was very tired in the second half of the night, so she and Shan Erlang discussed taking turns to keep vigil.

"It's time." Yamajiro pushed open a door, and although it rained nonstop, there was a little more light.

Du Yingqiu found some dry food prepared in advance, broke it into three parts, looked down at the wolf cub and divided it again, the wolf cub didn't pick it, and pressed the front legs to eat.

At this time, there was a knock on the door leading to the stairs of the hall, and when I opened it, I saw that it was Uncle Sun, and Aunt Sun and the cat, "The rain is too heavy, the drainage in the village is not good, and the low-lying places are beginning to accumulate water." ”
