Chapter 133: Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge

In fact, Gu Ling'er was still a little dissatisfied with Qin Jixian, after all, she was only fifteen years old now, but Qin Jixian was already an adult man, and now she looked like she was already twenty-five or sixteen years old.

This is a typical old husband and young wife, he should spoil himself like a child to be reasonable, how can he be so perfunctory?

But thinking that this is an era of male superiority and inferiority of women, Gu Ling'er can understand it a little.

After all, a man who grew up with a feudal education is understandable that his concept cannot be changed for a while, and he can be slowly transformed after he has been in contact with him for a long time in the future.

However, Gu Ling'er still thought too much.

Qin Jixian is too busy to be busy, how can he take care of her?

Now on the other side of the river, because the river has returned to the river, the embankment has begun to be rebuilt, but on his side, because the big river ditch that Ling Xun rushed out too violently, he is still flowing water into the plain.

And in this way, if the river does not dry up for a day, it will not be possible to rebuild the embankment for a day, and the only way is to mine stones and fill the ditch until the ditch is filled before the construction of the dam can begin.

It's just that the speed of quarrying stones is too slow, and the flood can't be solved for a while, so it can only be done step by step.

When Qin Jixian was busy here, Shen Jingcheng also ushered in a complaint from the magistrate of Ningkang County, just because the dam has been repaired now, but the people in their county have not returned so far, and most of those people have gone to Yuhe County.

When Shen Jingcheng received the prefect's letter of accountability, he laughed angrily.

This is really picking up a bowl to eat meat and putting down the bowl to scold his mother, when the refugees from Ningkang County ran to him, why didn't he sue? Why don't you send those people back?

There is no relief food in the house, he has raised those refugees for so long, even if there is no credit, there is hard work, right? Do you want someone to just say no? Still suing? It's really interesting.

However, Shen Jingcheng is not a person who can't distinguish priorities, and he knows that the breach of the embankment in Ningkang County is not repaired sooner or later, so he immediately wrote a letter to ask Fu Yu to bring the people of Ningkang County back, as for the refugees in Yuhe County and the refugees in other counties, those who want to stay and work can still continue.

In this way, after Fu Yu brought back all the refugees from Ningkang County who were working in Qingshan County and settled the food they had earned these days, Shen Jingcheng asked them to hurry back to Ningkang County with their families outside the city, and not a single old and weak woman or child would be left behind.

The magistrate of Ningkang County was a little dumbfounded when he looked at the people who dragged their families back, he wanted the people of Ningkang County to come back, but what he wanted was the strong labor force that could work in Ningkang County, not one or two men with a large family of old and weak women and children coming back.

Those old and weak women and children can't do heavy work and can't repair the embankment, what are they doing when they come back? What's more, how can he have so much food.

However, Shen Jingcheng didn't care about this.

You want the people of your county, I gave it, beyond your expectations, that's your problem.

The magistrate of Ningkang County was a little bald, and secretly wanted to let those old and weak return to Yuhe County. However, Shen Jingcheng just said, I don't dare to accept you, just because I accepted you, your county master went to sue me, and I didn't have anything to eat to find your county master, I don't want to get into trouble again.

The people of Ningkang County are bitter, when they go back to Yuhe County, they don't accept it, and in Ningkang County, they don't have anything to eat. Fortunately, now that the weather is starting to get warmer, they can barely dig up some wild vegetables and grass roots to satisfy their hunger, otherwise they don't know if they will survive.

It is also because of this that they really complain about their county master.

People have helped feed them for so many days, what are you doing when you have nothing to do? If you have the ability to call us back, you gave us food!

However, it didn't work.

They had nothing but the man who was called to the river to repair the embankment and the son who had some food, and the county magistrate of Ningkang County saw them as if they were dumb and blind, and they didn't say anything, they didn't ask anything.

The magistrate of Ningkang County is also bitter, doesn't he want to take care of these people? But where does the food come from? The little relief food given by the city is not enough for the people who built the dam, so where can the food come from to manage the people?

It's also to blame him for being too anxious and reckless, and offending the county order next door. Otherwise, according to that person's ability to settle so many refugees, he would have discussed it with the county magistrate next door, and people would not have said anything and would not accept these people.

However, Shen Jingcheng didn't know his suffering, and even if he knew, he didn't care.

Whoever let him cross the river and tear down the bridge deserved it.

At present, more than half of the refugees outside Yuhe County have gone, and most of the rest are from Yuhe County, and a very small number are refugees from other counties.

Looking at the obviously vacant place outside the city, Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng were obviously relieved.

Seriously, there are so many refugees, they can't support them for long no matter how much they have the ability, and now it's much easier.

It's just that now every once in a while, Fu Yu has to send food and account books from Qingshan County here, even if there are shops to rest on the way, Fu Yu has lost weight as he sees it.

Although Fu Yu is now working for himself, Shen Jingcheng still can't help but feel sorry for his old friend, so he came up with the idea of building a simple ferry by the river.

Today's route is the nearest route to the capital, but not the nearest route to Yuhe County, the nearest route from Qingzhou Mansion to Yuhe County is still to take the plain, around Jishui Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion can go to the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Mansion on the other side of Yuhe County, and then cross the river.

He didn't want to go to the plains before, naturally there was part of the reason for Gu Jin's rejection of Yanzhou Mansion, but it was more because he considered that Kaifeng Mansion and part of Yanzhou Mansion would become battlefields in the future, and creating a route that he knew would be abandoned in the future was a waste of money.

But now he doesn't know how many more years he will be here, let alone whether he will encounter such a flood in the future, and the closer the route, the more effortless it will be.

Thinking of this, Shen Jingcheng went to discuss with Gu Jin.

Gu Jin must have rejected Yanzhou Mansion, but he also agreed with Shen Jingcheng's analysis.

Besides, now that Yanzhou Mansion is diagonally opposite, what's the use of her rejection? Why do you want Fu Yu and the people who transport food to run so many unjust roads back and forth because of their own selfishness?

As soon as Gu Jin agreed, Shen Jingcheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and went to find a craftsman, and used the stones left over from repairing the embankment to start repairing the ferry on the river embankment, and on the other side, Fu Yu also found someone to buy a place on the shore and began to pull stones over there to repair the ferry.

When Qin Jixian was busy asking people to open stones to fill the ditch, he heard that someone was pulling stones to repair the ferry on the bank of Kaifeng Mansion upstream, but he knew that the next house was a plain, there were no mountains and no stones, where did the stones come from, so he still needed to ask?

Qin Jixian was on fire at that time.

"Check, let's see who's filling their pockets."
