Chapter 42: Reminder

The next day, the weather was fine, and early in the morning, the courtyard of the weak family was crowded with people and baskets of bamboo shoots.

What she saw when she came out of the house was that everyone was crowded in the small yard, some people were weighing, some people were picking fresh and tender bamboo shoots, and some people were loading sacks.

All of them are busy!

The autumn morning was a little cold, and everyone's clothes were wet, mud and water, but their hearts were hot, and they didn't feel cold, and even smiled all over their faces.

At this time, a cool breeze blew, and Weak Xuan sniffed and looked up at the blue sky, but she smelled that the water vapor carried by today's wind was a little heavy.

Her heart was heavy!

It is a flower that is most afraid of great drought and flooding, of course, it has grown spiritual wisdom, and it is not afraid after cultivating at home.

But the rice in the field, the peanuts in the field, the sweet potatoes and other crops are afraid!

She felt the persimmon and date trees in the yard trembling.

Lei Pozi handed Xuanbao a money bag at this time, "Xuanbao, is it good for you to send silver to the uncles and aunts in the village, two taels of silver per household." ”

"Okay." Weak Xuan came back to her senses and happily took the money bag.

No matter if the soldiers come to block, the water will hide!

She happily held the money bag to distribute the silver to everyone, a good money boy who was alive, very cute.

Zhang Xianling rode out of the city at dawn today, and came to the fields near Xishui Village early in the morning to have a look, he needed to know the fields, wasteland, water conservancy, rivers, bridges and temples, mountains, villages and so on in the county.

Because this field was close to the Xishui River, he wanted to know whether the flood situation in Xishui was the same as recorded in the yamen, so he walked to the village where the weak family was located, and then saw that the courtyard of the weak family was full of people inside and outside.

There are more people who can find out more things, so Zhang Xianling walked over, and then recognized Xuanbao at a glance.

Xuanbao also saw him, and waved his little hand vigorously: "County ......"

Zhang Xian Ling hurriedly raised his index finger and signaled Xuan Bao not to reveal his identity.

Xuanbao saw it, but she didn't understand it-

So Xiao Xuanhua was like a trumpet flower blooming in the breeze, and shouted more enthusiastically and loudly: "Lord County Order, you are here!" Are you here to buy mushrooms? ”

The courtyard was suddenly quiet!

Zhang County Order: "......"

Weak Xuan remembered that when she saw the county magistrate, she seemed to have to salute!

She stuffed the money bag into her arms (she has been fat recently, and her clothes are a little stretched, so it is difficult to stuff them), and finally stuffed it in, and the little person saluted with a glance: "The people's girl greets the county magistrate!" ”

At this time, the weak water and the weak river also reacted, and hurriedly pulled the village chief forward to salute: "The grass people have seen the county commander!" ”

Even if the other villagers were stunned, they subconsciously knelt down and saluted loudly.

Zhang Xianling saw the people kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but hold his forehead, isn't the little girl very smart? How did you shout it out?

He hurriedly said: "You don't have to be polite! ”

"Thank you, sir!" Then the people stood up.

Then everyone looked at Zhang County Ling and didn't dare to move, the first thing they thought in their hearts was that this new county order was really young, and then guessed what the county commander was doing when he came to the weak family?

Zhang Xianling saw that everyone was cramped and uneasy, his tone was gentle, and he didn't even claim to be the official, but said: "I saw that there were a lot of people here, so I came to take a look, are you cutting bamboo shoots to sell?" ”

After dealing with Zhang Xianling, Weak Water said: "Go back to your lordship, exactly." The village chief took us and the people in the village to harvest some wild bamboo shoots and send them to the restaurant. ”

Zhang Xianling was really impressed by the brothers from the weak family when he heard it, this pattern is big enough, and he even took the villagers to earn money together!

He also thought that the weak family would sell the bamboo shoots for a while if they found out that they could sell them, but he didn't expect that people would be smarter.

Look at how the fourth child of the weak family spoke, and he didn't take credit, and even respectfully carried the village chief out.

He smiled and patted the weak water on the shoulder: "Not bad! You brothers, your village is really good, and the village chief manages it well. ”

Zhang Xianling was looking for the village chief to also explain the law of the flood situation in Xishui River over the years, but weak Xuan had already run to Zhang Xianling and beckoned him to the little fat claw: "My lord, I have a secret to tell you!" ”

Zhang Xianling was really cute by Xuanbao's little appearance, he squatted down and picked up Xuanbao: "What secrets does Xuanbao have to tell me?" ”

Weak Xuan covered Zhang County's ears with her little fat hand and whispered: "Lord County, I had a dream last night, and I dreamed that an old fairy was stargazing at night and said that there would be a flood in our county. ”

Zhang Xianling's face changed when he heard this, the autumn harvest is about to begin, and the rice has not been harvested, if there is a flood at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

No, the autumn harvest is coming soon, which means that it is already autumn.

In autumn, the weather in the entire state capital is dominated by high and crisp autumn weather, unlike summer, where there are dragon boats and hurricanes.

In the county annals of Shaxi County for more than 100 years, there has not been a single flood that occurred in autumn.

How could there be a flood?

And how can the dream of a three-year-old girl be taken seriously?

Zhang Xianling said with a smile: "Xuanbao, don't be afraid, autumn is coming, the weather is high and crisp, it is a sunny day, and there will be no flooding." ”

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Weak Xuan was a little anxious, and didn't know how to make him believe it, she glanced up at the sky, and then saw the bare persimmon tree, and thought of the dream, so she touched Zhang County's head with her little fat paw, "That's it!" In autumn, there must be no rain, there must be no flooding, it must be sunny, right? Then I'm not afraid! ”

Zhang Xianling wants to say yes, but God wants it to rain, which doesn't matter if it's autumn or winter.

It's all unpredictable!

It is precisely because they are unpredictable that natural disasters are the deadliest, otherwise everyone can prevent them before they happen.

Zhang Xianling felt a pang in his heart, there are indeed few floods in autumn, but it is not unheard of in history, especially Shaxi County is located in the south, adjacent to the sea, there are often hurricanes in summer, and now in autumn, hurricanes are few, but it is not nothing.

He thought about looking around these days and found that the river and water conservancy management in Shaxi County was really worrying.

Many wastelands have become wasteland because of years of flooding, and people simply give up farming.

He originally wanted to wait for the autumn harvest to start dredging water conservancy, building high dikes, preventing dragon boat water and hurricanes in the coming summer, and making use of wasteland.

Or not in advance?

He is not superstitious, and he never believes in dream omens, but for some reason, Xuanbao said this, and he was a little panicked.

But listening to the words of a three-year-old child, it is ridiculous to believe that he is really going to do something!

If someone knows about it, maybe he is a dumb official!

But if there was a real flood, he didn't do anything, he felt that he was sorry for the people here if he died 10,000 times, and he was ashamed of the emperor for sending him here to be a parent official.

Before leaving Beijing to take office, his father said to him, you are going to be a parent official, and the parent official is the parents of the people, the beloved son of parents, and the plan is far-reaching!

You don't need to think about whether you have political achievements or not, let alone whether you are right or wrong, you just need to put yourself in the position of being a father, as long as it is good for your children, you can do it right.

How can parents who love their children not worry and do something when they hear that their children may be suffering?

Zhang Xianling was a little entangled in his heart, he still felt that it was a bit ridiculous to believe the content of a child's dream, reason did not let him be impulsive, he glanced at Xuanbao with big eyes, looked at his Xuanbao, and his heart moved: "Did the old fairy in Xuanbao's dream say what to do?" ”
