Shen Xihe made a final decision, and it was reasonable, the situation was stronger than people, Xiao Changyan knew that not only did he not have a position to refute, but even if he insisted on opposing it, he could only end up under house arrest by Shen Xihe.

Within half a day, Xiao Huayong, as the prince, was possessed by the gods, and the heavens could not bear the suffering of the people, so he specially borrowed the body of the prince to inform the method of controlling the water, which happened to echo the strange stones that fell from the sky before, and the people believed it was true.

Therefore, Tao Zhuanxian and Zhong Ping directly proposed the method of diverting water into the sea, but no one was worried or afraid, and they were convinced and looked forward to it under a series of rumors spread by Shen Xihe.

Xiao Changqing deployed manpower, Tao Zhuan Xian and Zhong Ping directly formulated the method of starting the construction, and the garrison guards were also commanded by Shen Xihe, not only to supervise the people to start the work, but also to try their best to transfer the things needed by the workers from the county.

The sons were organized to take turns digging channels in batches, and the girls boiled medicine and cooked rice to ensure that the strength of labor in the heavy rain was not eroded by the wind and cold.

Shen Xihe and Xiao Huayong supervised the grain transported by the imperial court, and the amount needed to start this construction increased significantly, and the first batch of grain previously transported was consumed in three days at most.

Xiao Huayong woke up the day after the collective construction, what else did Xiao Changyan not know? The so-called possession of the gods is nothing more than a play sung by the husband and wife, and the purpose is to successfully achieve the method of water control that leads to the sea.

In the entire county, people who can dig channels, including Tao Zhuanxian, who is over fifty years old, have gone in person, and Xiao Changqing has set an example, wearing a coat and being with the people, just like a cropper, digging in full swing.

People who can't join are trying their best to play their role, up and down, united, Xiao Changyan also has to work with Xiao Changqing, looking at such a picture of everyone working hard, but no regrets, Xiao Changyan's heart is also extremely complicated.

If this method can be achieved, Xiao Changyan has deep admiration for Shen Xihe in his heart, such courage and intelligence, no wonder she has the courage to go to Xiao Xiang's position.

"Imperial sister-in-law, aren't you afraid of the backlash of the sea?" On this day, when he returned to the county office, Xiao Changyan finally saw Shen Xihe, who had come to supervise the progress and care about the consumption of food, and couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

Since he and Xiao Changqing took the lead in digging channels in person, Xiao Changyan has been more busy every day than training troops in the dog days, and he has never seen Shen Xihe again.

Shen Xihe, who didn't squint and only planned to meet Xiao Changyan, paused and paused: "His Royal Highness King Jing, do you have a way to break the situation in front of you?" ”

Xiao Changyan was slightly stunned, the situation in front of him refers to the increasingly serious water accumulation and the continuous heavy rain, Xiao Changyan shook his head honestly: "No." ”

"Water control is imminent, and the method proposed by Zhong Gong and Tao Gong, whether it succeeds or not, is the only way. This is our only chance, if the flood is not eliminated, this city will eventually become a water city, and the people in the city have no way to live, so why not gamble? Shen Xihe asked rhetorically.

Xiao Changyan was speechless, he thought for a while and said, "Things don't come to this point, the people can move." ”

Xiao Changyan had made the worst plan, if Tao Zhuanxian and the others really didn't have a safe way, and the heavy rain was still ruthlessly invading, he planned to play His Majesty and relocate the people in the city.

They can sweep a way for Xiao Huayong and others to enter the city, and they can make a way to move the people.

"Fire and water are ruthless, and they can spread for thousands of miles. The people of Wendeng County can be moved, but Wendeng County will be swallowed up, and His Highness knows that the flood will not affect the next county? If this is the case, is His Highness planning to abandon another county? Shen Xihe raised his chin slightly, his face was calm, his eyes were light, and he looked at Xiao Changyan, "I heard that His Highness is like a god in using soldiers, could it be that on the battlefield, His Highness will also abandon the city and flee?" ”

"It's not comparable." Xiao Changyan retorted.

On the battlefield, he is facing an enemy who is extremely vicious and invades my territory, and his responsibility is to protect his family and people, even if he fights to the last soldier, he will not flinch in the slightest.

Now facing a natural disaster, the people are the first thing in his heart.

"In my opinion, it's no different." Shen Xihe said lightly, "It's just that His Highness can't afford to fail." Against the enemy, His Highness will not surrender, will not bow his head, and will not admit defeat, also because His Highness cannot afford the consequences of fleeing. ”

Xiao Changyan couldn't help but clench his fists, he found that Shen Xihe was a person whose words were never bitter and mean, and she was rude and ruthless, and her voice was as clear as the spring water of a mountain stream washing over a shallow stream, which was very pleasant to the ear, but her words were the most embarrassing.

Xiao Changyan didn't want to admit Shen Xihe's words, but he couldn't refute it, the latter he could tell Shen Xihe in righteous words that as the commander of the army, his blood soul would not allow him to be a deserter. But in the former, he had to think that what Shen Xihe said was not wrong.

Yes, he could not afford to drown the people of the city because of him if this method failed, and he could not imagine that he would be spurned through the ages after his death, and leave a mark in the history books for future generations to take warning from such stupidity and impulsiveness.

"Somebody has to step up, doesn't it?" Since you don't dare, then it's up to me, "Everyone is happy, and if it doesn't work, it's just an end that can't be escaped, why hesitate for some cloud-like fame?" ”

The words fell, and Shen Xihe looked forward and left under the umbrella held by Jasper.

Xiao Changyan watched her go away, the rain was hazy, her hair was swaying lightly, the water was steaming, and the spirit was far away.

His heart was still echoing with Shen Xihe's words, someone had to stand up.

Everyone understands this, but when they do, they stand up without hesitation, and very few people can do it.

Xiao Changyan's expression was a little complicated, he had also understood Shen Xihe's skills, and he was able to implement a thing that was very likely to cause public anger to the point where everyone was convinced, with her intelligence, he believed that she could force out a person who stood up, and she might not need to bear it personally.

However, she didn't, Shen Xihe didn't seem to him to be such a bright and upright person, but in the face of righteousness, there was no prevarication, such a girl, Xiao Changyan had never seen it.

Suddenly, he somewhat understood why his crown prince and brother were so obsessed with her.

"Coming back?" Xiao Huayong stood at the door, where he could shelter from the rain, looking forward to Shen Xihe.

made Shen Xihe can't help but think that before they got married, every time she was going to the East Palace, he was also waiting for him like this.

When his eyes fell, the hem of his clothes was wet, and it was the small droplets of water splashed by the rain on the hem of his clothes, and he didn't know how long he stood before he soaked such a large piece.

"Ginger milk tea, you taste it." Xiao Huayong handed the cup of warm tea he was holding in his hand to Shen Xihe.
