Chapter 330 Green mud puddle
Yang Cheng should be in the green mud pool.
It's a little better than the neighborhood of Jinzhou City, where keel waterwheels spin at the feet of topless farmers, carrying wet mud to fertile fields on both sides of the Malan River.
The vicinity of Jinzhou City is the worst, because that piece is high in the middle and low in all sides, only the Season River.
When the drought came, there was no defense, and the ground was dry and cracked.
For there, Yang Chengying has lost any hope.
When he arrived, he found that there was not much hope.
Qingniwa is the predecessor of Dalian, where there is a Malan River and is the mother river.
The people lived on both sides of the Mother River.
Today, this mother river is no longer good.
Yang Chengying bent down, picked up a piece of soil on the ground, and gently pressed it into powder.
"No, if it goes on like this, people will not be able to save the crops if they are tired to death."
Yang Chengying clapped his hands, and the dust fell to the ground.
Not even the wind.
"Yes, I have done as you commanded, and I have told most of the people to stay at home and not come out."
After the drought came out, the generals in charge of civil affairs in Jinzhou, including Shang Kejin, came to the local area to direct the fight against the drought.
The weather is too hot, and people standing under the sun are prone to heat stroke.
More than 100 people have fallen in the small green mud puddle.
Shang Kejin asked everyone except for the drought-fighting people to stay at home and wait for the sun to set before coming out.
Yang Chengying felt that this was not enough: "Remove the drought-fighting people, and you can't stay under the sun." ”
"If you don't do this, you can't even keep the best fields, what should you do at the end of the year?" Shang Kejin asked worriedly.
"Take it one step at a time, I should have enough food here to survive this winter."
After Yang Chengying finished speaking, he walked forward.
Now it is different from before, more than 700,000 people, how much food do they have to eat in a winter?
This made Yang Chengying feel completely bottomless.
As he walked, he saw people watering their crops with bowls.
These people have dark skin because of their long-term exposure to the sun. The arms are thick and thin, but the palms are calloused.
"You drank the water."
Yang Chengying came to the front of these people.
"General Soldier." One of the people looked anxious, "With this water, there is hope for the crops." ”
Yang Chengying shook his head and said: "People are more important than crops, this bowl of water in your hand can quench your thirst, but a hundred bowls of water are not enough for crops." ”
With that, he took the bowl of water from the farmer's hand, solemnly held it, and commanded, "Drink!" ”
The farmer took the bowl of water and drank the not-so-pure water.
Yang Chengying shouted to the other farmers: "Drink it all, and then go back to your residence to escape the heat." ”
The farmers all bowed their heads and drank water.
Suddenly, a thick puff of smoke rose not far away.
"What's going on?" Yang Chengying asked loudly.
"Someone is burning the mountain!" Someone replied in a loud voice.
"Who allowed it?"
"I don't know."
"Nonsense." Yang Chengying hurriedly took his entourage and went straight to the place of smoke.
As far as the eye could see, a fire sizzled the ground.
Several farmers with hoes stood not far from the fire.
Yang Chengying shouted, "What are you doing? ”
"Dashuai, we are clearing the wasteland." Someone replied in a loud voice.
"It's so hot, even if you set the whole mountain on fire, you won't be able to hit the ground without water."
Yang Chengying walked over quickly.
A farmer said anxiously, "Dashuai, we don't want to." If you don't grow food, how will you survive the winter? ”
"With me, I won't let you starve to death." Yang Chengying said.
"We all know that the handsome man is kind, but ......"
"We have to keep the water and soil, and without these trees, we can't keep the water."
Hearing this, the farmer looked confused.
Yang Chengying remembered that they didn't understand the concept of soil erosion, so they had to say: "I mean, don't blindly open up wasteland in the future." ”
"The grass people know." The farmers nodded.
Depart from Qingniwa, head north, and return to Jinzhou City.
Along the way, Yang Chengying was so disgraced that he didn't even have water to take a bath when he got home.
Only use a little water to scrub the shower.
For dinner, the greens are completely extinct, all meat, or dry fried.
I used to want to eat meat, but now I can't even eat meat.
Facing the two dishes on the table, Yang Chengying put down the dishes and chopsticks and couldn't help sighing.
"Dashuai." Wu Sangui walked in quickly, "There is an urgent letter from the capital." ”
"In a hurry?"
Yang Chengying opened the letter, read it once, and the whole person was blindfolded.
"When has this been the case, and you are still doing this thing."
After reading it again, Yang Chengying was so angry that he slapped the letter on the table.
"What's the matter?" Shen Zhixiang asked curiously.
"The court wants to marry the princess, and I want to be ready to welcome the princess."
Yang Chengying put away the letter and let out a long breath.
The princess is married?
All the relatives and guards were happy, and the generals were able to marry the princess, which was the first time since Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty.
Yang Chengying was not as happy as them, and said angrily: "The drought in the entire eastern Liaodong is an important moment for the whole Liaodong to work together to fight the drought. ”
"Getting married is a big deal, and the handsome can't be rash." Wu Sangui said with a smile.
"You kid dare to teach me a lesson." Yang Chengying looked up at him.
"The subordinates don't dare." Wu Sangui bowed his head.
Yang Chengying didn't really get angry, and said with a smile: "I don't dare, I can only complain a few words, and then write thanks." "After that, call the paperwork and ask him to write a thanksgiving fold on his behalf.
But deep down, Yang Chengying did not approve of holding a wedding at this time.
It's just that it's not up to him to decide.
The capital, the Imperial Palace.
Zhu Huixian sat quietly in front of the dresser, trying on makeup.
Getting married is a big deal, and she needs to choose the right makeup in advance.
As a princess of Daming, appearance is very important.
Several old palace maids put on Zhu Huixian's makeup and braided her hair at the same time to ensure that the makeup and hairstyle matched.
Not only that, but there are several palace maids who work as tailors, waiting for the princess to try them on.
If it doesn't fit, do it again.
The queen came to visit in person.
The ladies of the palace saluted her.
Zhu Huixian was about to get up, but was stopped by the queen: "My sister doesn't need to get up, she is wearing makeup." ”
After speaking, she approached and looked at it carefully: "My sister is so good-looking, Yang Chengying should be a blessed person." ”
Zhu Huixian smiled slightly, it was difficult to speak.
"The emperor heard that Yang Chengying had returned to Jinzhou Town from the Li Dynasty and sent someone to inform him of the marriage."
The queen smiled and said, "He has already written a thank you fold and sent it to the palace." ”
Zhu Huixian said lightly: "I heard that there is a great drought in the entire Liaodong, will he be thinking about marriage?" ”
Since the incident between Wan Hongzuo and Zhou Da came out, Zhu Huixian found that some situations were completely inconsistent with what she thought and what they said.
So, she began to re-examine Yang Chengying, the person who will be with her for the rest of her life.
Only after this inquiry did I know that his evaluation was completely polar. Wan Hongzuo and others all said that Yang Chengying was a high-flying and domineering person, while Xu Guangqi said that he was loyal to national affairs and had extraordinary ability.
A person who is loyal to the affairs of the state will have his mind on marriage rather than disaster?
Say it, and no one will believe it.
The queen comforted: "Don't take it to heart, Yang Chengying should inspect the place everywhere, and when he comes back, he will be disgraced." ”
"The queen is relieved." Zhu Huixian wouldn't mind.
