Chapter 149: Repair Ditches and Divert Water
The matter of Fangcheng was resolved, and it can be said that a scourge in Kushui County was solved, and the master who had disappeared for a long time also reappeared.
It's just that after going through so much, the master seems to have seen through, he is not too young anymore, and he can't afford to toss anymore, and after returning to Kushui County, he resolutely resigned from the position of master and found a place to open a private school.
The reason why Kushui County is difficult is because of the terrain that makes it easy to drought, even the upland rice that Song Qingyou took out requires a certain amount of water, and the county order was bewitched by Fang Cheng before Song Qingyou did not believe Song Qingyou, so that she could not use many of her ideas.
Looking at the simple drawings drawn by Song Qingyou about drinking water irrigation, Cui Ximiao couldn't help but be amazed, thinking that this sister-in-law just knew a little about medical skills, but she didn't expect to understand these ingenious tricks.
Returning the drawings to Song Qingyou, Cui Xihao said: "The people take food as the sky, and drinking water irrigation can increase grain production is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and my sister-in-law just let it go!" β
The first thing to do in repairing the canal is naturally to find a water source, but this kind of thing is definitely not easy for people who only have theoretical knowledge and no practical experience.
It has been a long time since they made a big fuss in the cell, and Song Qingyou came to the cave where the white wolf took them to take refuge that day, and the ashes of that day were still there, but there was no white wolf.
"Brother Wolf?" Song Qingyou tentatively shouted in the cave, and the only echo that responded to her was the reflection of the stone wall, and then she shouted outside the entrance of the cave.
"Whewβββ"
Soon, a wolf howl came from nowhere.
Immediately after a rustling sound, a tall white wolf jumped down from a cliff and landed smoothly.
"Woohoo"
The white wolf whined while holding his head against Song Qingyou.
"Okay, okay~ I know!" Song Qingyou tried to stabilize his body, touched the white wolf's ears to soothe, and then peeled off the fur and examined it carefully, making sure that the previous injuries had been completely healed, and then he was finally relieved.
The interaction of one person and one wolf looked at Cheng Yuxi on the side, and he secretly said to himself, all things have spirits, and the ancients did not deceive me.
After playing with Song Qingyou for a while, the white wolf finally noticed Cheng Yuxi, sniffed with his nose, and in an instant, his fangs were exposed, and his sharp wolf claws landed on the ground one by one.
"Good guys!" Song Qingyou hurriedly hugged the white wolf and explained: "Although she used to be with that bad guy, but now she is a good guy and my friend, you can't do this." β
The white wolf's eyes were full of doubts, tilting his head to look at Song Qingyou, where is a wolf, it is simply a husky, so Song Qingyou couldn't help but rub its ears.
The white wolf, who was being rubbed comfortably, narrowed his eyes and put away his vigilance.
After playing for a while, Song Qingyou finally remembered today's business and said to the white wolf: "Do you know where there is a water source near here? β
After listening to this, the white wolf squatted down and swept his tail.
Cheng Yuxi couldn't help but say, "Are you sure it can understand?" β
As soon as he finished speaking, the white wolf bared his teeth at her again.
Song Qingyou spread his hands and said, "Look, it understands." β
The white wolf squatted for a while, licked his paws and stood up, throwing Song Qingyou's idiom and the two of them on their backs, and a waterhole appeared in front of them after a gust of lightning.
Song Qingyou, who had already experienced it once, adapted well, while Cheng Yuxi felt motion sickness for the first time in a long time, stumbling to the side and retching.
The "culprit" white wolf lay down leisurely and began to lick his hair, making Song Qingyou wonder if this guy did it on purpose.
This waterhole formed a natural stream along the terrain, Song Qingyou walked all the way down the stream, and was pleased to find that the end of the stream was located in the southeast corner of Kushui County, and the end only needed to be repaired in the future.
Without further ado, Song Qingyou wrote down the route, and the white wolf sent the two back.
The next day, there was another notice at the city gate, and this time the official shouted, "In order to solve the drought in the fields, Lord Qincha has decided to build a canal to divert water, and now it is necessary to recruit craftsmen, and the participants can have a bucket of grain every day." β
Soon there were a lot of people gathered at the city gate, and now the grain has been almost harvested, and everyone used to go to the nearby rich towns to dry some groceries to subsidize the family, but now there are nearby, and they have signed up, and it will soon be enough.
The dry place of the stream is located in the southeast corner of the county, some distance from the field, but fortunately, the terrain is flat, Song Qingyou divided the people who signed up into three waves, three shifts a day, and soon a meandering river began to take shape.
After that, he cut wood from the nearby mountains, polished it to the right size according to the drawings, and spread it on the river, and the stream flowed smoothly to the fields.
Many elderly farmers couldn't help but shed tears when they saw this scene, they had relied on the sky to eat all their lives, but they didn't expect to see such a scene one day, and some even knelt directly in front of Song Qingyou.
This frightened Song Qingyou, and hurriedly helped the person up.
The old man was very stubborn, "Miss Song must be a messenger sent by heaven, not only to help us cure the plague but also to allow us to eat well, this worship of Miss Song is worth it!" β
With the first one, there was the second one, and then everyone started one after another, so that Song Qingyou didn't know what to do for a while.
Cheng Yuxi has been through since he was a child, and he has adapted to some things better than Song Qingyou, and said: "You let them worship, this is also a way to be grateful." β
Song Qingyou had no choice but to accept it.
With the help of Song Qingyou, the people of Kushui County gradually got better, and Cui Xihao also learned from some people what she did during the plague, and became more and more curious about this sister-in-law, why hadn't such a magical woman heard of it in the capital before?
On the official road leading to Kushui, a young man in plain clothes galloped, followed by several small servants, and when several people rode their horses into a valley, the horses suddenly lost control and fell to the ground, and the people on the horses were thrown out.
"Hahaha" A playful laugh rang out from the valley.
Suddenly a lot of people appeared above the valley, holding various weapons in their hands, laughing at the few people who had fallen into the dust.
"You guys!"
The man who flew out finally came back to his senses, and was about to speak, but was stopped by the little guy behind him, and said in a low voice: "Don't be impulsive, I heard that there is a group of extremely vicious mountain bandits near Kushui County, but they generally only seek money. β
The young man disagreed, "How can my dignified court officials be afraid of this gang of mountain bandits!" β
It turned out that this group of people was the newly appointed Kushui County Commander of the imperial court, and the young man's name was Wang Hang, who was this year's new science and technology jinshi.
