On the ridge of the field, Mu Xiwen called Mu Yue and Zhao: "Daddy, Auntie, come up!" I've hired a few helpers, so you can go home and cook first, and I'll leave it to them here. ”

Mu Yue stood up with his crutches, "This kid is a waste of money." ”

Seeing Zhao looking at him blankly, he said helplessly: "Everyone is invited, let's go up and go home to cook." It just so happened that everyone was busy with the farm, and there were only a few little dolls at home, and no one cooked. ”

The two obediently went ashore, Mu Xiwen carefully explained the scope of his field to the helpers, and the few people jumped down to the field to cut the rice.

Five acres of land, if the speed of Mu Yue's family was in the past, it would take almost three people to harvest it for three days.

But these helpers are all in the prime of life, and one person can basically harvest an acre of land in a day. That is, it can be harvested in one day.

The next day, the five of them didn't have to come again, but Mu Xiwen thought about it for a while and asked them to come again tomorrow.

The second room is considered to be the most laborious, but it also takes at least two days to harvest the rice, let alone the large house and the fourth room. Xiao Wang's family was reluctant to let Mu Shuncai go to the field to harvest rice.

She saved money for Mu Shuncai to study, just to prevent him from living a life facing the loess with his back to the sky, and not letting him be a mud leg, how could he be called to come to the farm?

Her original plan was to ask a few helpers to help the other houses harvest the rice together, after all, the task this time was to "protect the safety of Anyang County".

It is definitely not enough for her to rely on her strength alone, and now that the strength of all the villagers must be condensed, the probability of everyone's survival will increase.

Not only the big house and the fourth room, but even Donghe Village, Zhaozhuang Village, Shangqing Village, and even Gong Zhi County, she will push hard.

At night, everyone was about to go back to their rooms to sleep after a tiring day, but Wang suddenly stopped everyone.

"Third child, open your house and let us all go in and have a look."

Mu Yue, who had been busy delivering water, cooking, and threshing to the people in the fields all day, knew that his side house was locked, and he looked at Mu Xiwen in surprise.

Mu Xiwen calmly opened the door, and for a while, the mountains of rice bags came into everyone's eyes.

"It's ...... Rice? ”

Mu Yue was stunned, it was the harvest season, why did Awen buy so much old rice?

Wang smacked his teeth, his eyes were full of greed, and said, "The third family, aren't you wasting money?" I will hand over the rice and grain to the middle prince and put it in my room. ”

Will Mu Xiwen take care of shameless people? Of course not.

She looked at Mu Yue and said solemnly: "Daddy, there will be heavy rain in a few days, and I am afraid that the embankment of Boryeong Mansion will burst." Once the embankment bursts, countless refugees will surely flee to Anyang County, and Anyang County may be in turmoil at that time.

Just in case, I asked people to buy a lot of old rice, and I also bought some daily necessities. In the past two days, you have also told the villagers that after the land tax is paid, you must not sell too much new rice, and it is better to keep it at home. ”

Mu Yue took a breath of cold air and asked, "Who did you listen to?" Why is Boryeong Mansion about to burst, doesn't the prefect care? ”

"Well, it's Master Zhang Xuedao, isn't he presiding over the college exam in Baoning Mansion. During this period of heavy rain in Boryeong Province, he found a time to go to the embankment to see, the river was turbulent, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist.

If the Boryeong bursts, the raging river will flow down and soon flood most of the fields in Taean Province. If the villagers along the way harvest the rice in advance, it would be fine, but if it wasn't, it would be bad. ”

After Mu Xiwen finished speaking, Mu Yue's face was no longer bloodless, and Mu Shan and the others also widened their eyes in horror.

Fourth Uncle Mu Hai said coldly: "No, since we all know that we can't stop it, the prefect of Boryeong Mansion will definitely let people repair the embankment so that the villagers can harvest it as soon as possible." ”

Mu Xiwen glanced at him lightly, "Fifteen years ago, Gong Zhixian also mentioned that he knew that the embankment in Zhaozhuang Village could not be stopped, so he sent people to repair it, but the embankment still burst, and the entire Zhaozhuang Village suffered countless casualties. I don't want to scare you, it's just that everyone has to prepare for the worst.

Of course, don't go out and spread this word around, just warn everyone to be vigilant and speed up. In any case, it is always good to close the rice silo early. I also bought these old rice just in case, and I used the money of Youyuanju, so I couldn't give it to anyone. ”

She glanced at Wang meaningfully, and her tough attitude directly made Wang half angry.

Mu Yue nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll go door-to-door tomorrow to remind them." ”

The next day, Mu Xiwen was ready to go to the county again. When she drove the carriage past Zhou Changhe's house, she saw Zhou's mother leaning against the door frame and staring at her, her expression was not friendly.

She looked away indifferently, and after walking for a while, she saw the circumference river harvesting in the field.

"Brother Changhe—" she shouted.

Zhou Changhe raised his head to look at her, smiled with some surprise, and then bent down to say something to his sister Ye Zi beside him, and put down the sickle and ran over.

"Arwen, are you going to the county again?"

"Hmm." She stared at Zhou Changhe, who was only a little darker after a day, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Your family is just you and Ye Zi to harvest, how long will it take to harvest ten acres of land?" I was just saying yesterday that you have to harvest and dry in the next two days, and if you don't have money, I can help you hire a few helpers, and there are more important things waiting for you to do. ”

Seeing that Mu Xiwen valued himself so much, Zhou Changhe felt even more guilty, "No, I just don't want to spend this money." Since the Mu Dong family has orders, then I definitely can't let you down. He teased, which made Mu Xiwen's face soften a lot.

After driving to the county, Mu Xiwen first went to Youranju to take a look, and Luo Dong's family had prepared a lot of grain in the warehouse.

Looking at those proud green bamboos, she suddenly thought of a serious problem, and she hurriedly called Steward Luo.

"Steward Luo, in the past few days, you can contact more trees, transplant black locust, poplar, toon, purple locust, pentagonal maple, vitex, aspen, coptis wood, stinky toon, hawthorn and other trees on the periphery and inside of the leisurely residence, and reserve some water everywhere indoors."

Steward Luo was at first dazed, then reacted, and his face turned a little pale with fright.

Leisurely House is a bamboo building, and the fire prevention ability is weak, if someone sets fire......

Mu Xiwen patrolled all the way to the backyard, for fear that he had missed something. As soon as I stepped into the yard, I saw a twenty-one-twelve-year-old girl washing clothes.

The girl was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Steward Luo behind her, she immediately understood, stood up and bowed generously, "Good owner." ”

"Owner, this is a little girl's plain clothes."

"Russell? What a good name. Mu Xiwen praised it, waved his hand and said, "You're busy, I'll just take a look." ”

Seeing that she had no different colors, Russell pursed her lips and smiled.
