In Cheng Daqi's eyes, everyone is equal in the face of natural disasters, and the emperor can't run, so it's good to be able to protect himself, and the rest of the people do their best to obey the destiny of heaven and don't force it.

"I don't know when this natural stem will be relieved, although the crops can't be saved, but people want to save it, I'm afraid that there will be a shortage of water at that time."

"Fortunately, the capital is a treasure of feng shui, blessed by heaven, and the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing are criss-crossed, and there is no shortage of water sources."

Cheng Xiaosi glanced at Yuan Su, and Yuan Su immediately said that he knew a water source in the suburbs of Beijing, but it was on the mountain, and if necessary, he would take a bamboo tube to lead the water down the mountain.

Then the crowd will not panic.

On the second day, Cheng Daqi recommended the prince to be responsible for the fundraising, and the emperor immediately agreed, and the queen and the prince were a little happy, wondering if Cheng Daqi had the possibility of falling to them.

The third prince's face was ugly, and he subconsciously thought that the third princess had offended Cheng Xiaosi, and Cheng Daqi took revenge on him, and he was even more dissatisfied with the third princess.

However, the three princesses can't have a bad situation, the three princes have nowhere to go, but Cheng Daqi released the news that the firm may prepare a ticket number at this time, so who cares about the three princesses, all of them have tried their best to inquire about the news, you must know that if the ticket number is really opened, it is directly holding the money bag of the court, who doesn't want to get a piece of the pie?

Cheng Daqi's hand indirectly helped the prince to raise donations, and they all wanted to behave well in front of the emperor, and strive to be able to get on the side of the ticket number.

Mrs. Yuan also took Cheng Xiaosi to go, the summer was scorching, and the queen also made a lot of money in order to raise donations, and there were many ice basins in the main hall where the ladies and nobles of each family could talk, so that the entire main hall was slightly cool, and it was very comfortable.

If you want people to pay, you naturally have to make people happy, the queen still understands the world, praised the little daughter-in-law and praised the eldest girl of the family, and set up a platform to let those girls who have learned their skills show their strengths, so that people can find a wishful husband, reward this and reward that, and they are very busy.

Cheng Xiaosi felt tired and panicked when she saw it, she admired the queen very much at this moment, with a crown several pounds bigger on her head, and she had to smile all the time, this job is not easy to do.

She herself is her mother-in-law on the left and her mother-in-law on the right, and the three of them sit together talking and laughing, eating and drinking, and enjoying the performances of the girls, which is so unhappy.

When everyone was happy, they finally waited for the link of each family to pay out the silver, and the ladies of each family were also very happy, when the palace people walked to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with a tray, Mrs. Yuan wrote down the name of Yuan Pei and the amount of donation, Cheng Xiaosi took out a thick stack of silver tickets and put it into the donation box, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law donated a total of 80,000 taels, which is definitely a big deal.

Xiao He is not far behind, Shunyi Bofu is rich and famous, and it is impossible to say that it is not reasonable to say that it is not too much, anyone can say that it is poor, but their family cannot.

Although the list was registered, but there was no reading, and one would be covered after writing one, and no one knew how much was donated next to it, which made many people feel very comfortable, and the scene was more harmonious and lively.

At the same time, the fundraising outside the city has also begun, and the prince's operation is definitely not aimed at the court, that is the people of the whole capital are included, all of them are registered donations, and the merchants are very enthusiastic, after all, they have earned a lot of silver with Cheng Daqi in the past two years, and Cheng Daqi secretly released the news that the donation is rewarded.

Yuan Pei was happy for the past two days, and the effect of the donation was better than he imagined, "If you really need the crown prince or the third prince to come, you can achieve such an effect." “

The two families are people who only care about themselves and don't care about the lives of others, the people of the prince's party are sending people to agitate for donations, and they are foaming at the mouth, and they are sparing no effort to donate, if they are replaced by him and Cheng Daqi, two people who are a little timid, where can they get so many donations?

The donated money will go to the household department, and with the money to do things, he has been under a lot less pressure in the past two days.

Day by day, three consecutive months of rain has not fallen, many wells in the city have seen the bottom, there are four wells in the Yuan Mansion, three of which are not very optimistic, there is a weekday no one to take it, but now it is constantly pumping water every day, the water in the well is also full of very, that is the only well belonging to Cheng Xiaosi, before she married into the Yuan family, Cheng Daqi invited someone to hit her.

"I thought it was redundant at the time, but now that I think about it, my dad was prescient."

Huahua was very proud, "Of course, the master who dug this well was the most experienced master he invited, and it didn't take long for this well to have water, which is a good sign." ”

Cheng Xiaosi nodded, feeling that his waist pole was as hard as a steel bar, and he could say when he quarreled in the future: Not only do I drink saliva prepared by my mother's family, but the water you drink is also mine!

There is a shortage of drinking water, prices are soaring, and it has become difficult to eat a green vegetable, Yuan Su ordered people to dig a dark river in the place that Cheng Xiaosi said, thinking that if people who are short of water can go down the mountain to pick it up, and they don't charge money, they will be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.

The dark river is dug up, and at the same time there are dense small fat fish, the largest fish is as long as chopsticks, but one by one is very fat, and it is quite easy to catch, a bamboo basket can not be lifted up by many people, and it is delicious and abnormal.

It is not uncommon for there to be fish under the dark river, but when such a drought occurs, it is necessary to make some articles, Yuan Su told the emperor about this matter as an auspicious rui, and by the way, he also sent a large bucket of fish.

The water of the dark river is clear, the water quality is sweet, the fish is delicious, the emperor who put down the chopsticks is happy, and it coincides with Qin Tianjian at this time that the drought is about to pass, and the next step is to mention flood control, drowning is better than dry death, so, Yuan Su inexplicably made meritorious service, and the official was promoted to two levels, but he still stayed in the firm.

Yuan Pei is in a trance, what should I say?

After a lot of effort, careful planning, and cautious action, it was not easy to get a county order for his eldest son.

The youngest son, who originally got a mess in the court, easily surpassed his brother with a tank of fish, and it was effortless to get it, so where could he reason with him?

"Blessing is such a mysterious thing, no one can say it well, you can just look at the changes between Gorou and Xiaosi to the present."

Mrs. Yuan is convinced of Cheng Xiaosi's blessings, and she doesn't know which good position the ancestors of the Cheng family are buried, and they can give such great blessings to their descendants and grandchildren.

Yuan Pei's heart is very complicated, just

How do you tell your eldest son about this?

In this case, no one believes that he, who is an old man, is not partial, and the youngest son is not believed.

Mrs. Yuan glared at him, "What do you want to do with this, no matter who is good to the other, it is a good thing for the brothers, who said that the second child must be worse than the eldest?" ”

"The boss has the ability of the boss, the second has the blessing of the second, one is steady, one is blessed with good luck, what's wrong?"

"What a good thing it is, God bless me Goro."
