Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 244
The family walked around happily all afternoon and came back with a bunch of shopping.The two children held a bunch of fun things and played with them one by one.

"Okay, wash your hands and eat first, and then play at night. It looks like it's going to rain tonight, so hurry up and eat and go to bed early at night, do you hear me?" Jinghan looked at the two obviously excited children and said helplessly.

Qingyuan is a very obedient child, once he heard what his mother said, he hurriedly asked the girl next to him to lead him to wash his hands.Qian Shi held Qingyao in her arms, washed her hands too, and then everyone had dinner together.

Sure enough, not long after eating, there was a rumble of thunder outside.For a moment, the silver dragon rolled in the sky, and the sky and the earth flickered, accompanied by bursts of thunder.Both Qingyuan and Qingyao were a little scared, nestled in the arms of Zixuan and Jinghan, covering their ears, not daring to move.Gradually, the two little guys also fell asleep.

When Qian saw this, she and Chunxing took the two little guys away, leaving Jinghan and Zixuan talking in the room.

Jinghan looked out the window, and said worriedly, "I hope this rain won't last for too long, why am I always a little uneasy? I always feel as if something is about to happen."

Zixuan put his arms around Jinghan, and whispered in her ear, "Why worry about this? We have done what we can, and the rest can only be arranged by God. Even if something really happened, those dams are all new this year. If it’s repaired, it should be able to withstand it. If it doesn’t work, then it’s probably not a matter of our place, and it’s useless to worry about it.”

Jinghan leaned against Zixuan's arms, and suddenly felt that the two of them hadn't been this close for a long time.She couldn't help but put her arms around Zixuan's waist, and buried her face in Zixuan's neck. "Holding you feels so good, and my heart is very at ease." Jing Han said in a low voice.

Zixuan lowered his head and kissed Jinghan's forehead, "I also like to hug you like this. We are both very busy these days. Why do I feel that we haven't been able to have a good talk together for a long time? How about talking?"

"In the past two months, you have been busy with building dams. Every day when you come back, you fall asleep. Why haven't you talked to me for a long time?" Jing Han chuckled, "I sleep every night You must be like a pig, snoring loudly."

Zixuan couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed Jinghan, "Really? Then I have to make it up to you."

This rain, it rained sparingly for three days before it stopped, but it still didn't look like a sunny day outside, it was still gloomy.The yamen servants in the county government went out to investigate and came back to report, saying that the water levels of the various rivers had risen a lot.Fortunately, there was a drought a while ago, and the ground was a little dry, so the water didn't rise too much.

Zixuan let out a long breath, "We have to pay attention all the time for a while now. It looks like the sky won't be clear for a while. If it continues to rain, the ground may accumulate water. Sigh , It seems that the crops are bound to decrease this year. The grain in the warehouse of the county government must pay attention to ventilation, and it must not be damp and mildewed, otherwise it will be a life-saving grain." Zixuan exhorted worriedly.

Zhao Xiancheng on the side nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the warehouse has been repaired a while ago, and there will be no water leakage. The subordinates and others understand the importance of this matter, and there will be no mistakes."

"Well, that's good. Be sure to pay attention to the changes in the water level at all times. In case something happens, quickly ask those people living in low-lying areas to evacuate to higher ground. Our county is too large. I'm afraid I'll have to suffer, so please take care of it." At this moment, Zixuan really felt that it was not a good thing that the size of the east of the town was too large, and the county government had too few people, which was really not enough.

"This is easy. The lower officials have already ordered young and strong patrols in various villages and towns to pay attention at any time. The men here are generally strong and strong, and each has a good kung fu. In case of trouble, it is better to protect a few people." No problem." Zhao Xiancheng is a very capable person, and he can do many things very well without Zixuan's orders. "Basically, there is nothing to worry about on the grasslands. The only exceptions are these rivers and the larger Paozi. These places must be paid attention to. I have sent people from the county to these places. It is best if nothing happens. If something happens, we will lead the villagers to evacuate and transfer, and we must first ensure the safety of the people." Zhao Xiancheng reported his arrangements.

"Okay, with Mr. Zhao's arrangement, nothing can go wrong if you think about it. Tell the brothers in the county government that you have worked hard for a while, and when the rainy season is over, I will invite everyone to drink." After hearing this, Zixuan went to the county He was very satisfied with Cheng's report.

"Then we'll just wait for your lord's wine." Zhao Xiancheng said with a smile.

All the people in the room laughed.In the few years Zixuan has been here, everyone's lives have improved significantly, and everyone gets along very well.For them, Zixuan is like a family member.

The sky is still gloomy, and the thick clouds make people feel a little depressed.After the rain stopped for a day, it started to rain again. This time, the rain was very heavy.The huge raindrops kept falling down, which made Jinghan feel a little terrified.

The heavy rain just fell intermittently like this, and once in a while it was sunny, everyone would feel much better and hoped that it would continue to be sunny.But then it rained again, which made people's hearts fall to the bottom of the valley again.Throughout the whole month of June, there were not many sunny days on this day. It wasn't raining, but it was also cloudy.

Not only in the east of the town, but almost in the whole of the north this year, I haven't seen a few sunny days.Until the beginning of July, the weather was still like this, and this time it turned out to be getting worse and worse.

Zixuan came back from outside wearing a coir raincoat, and the rain dripped down the hem of the coir raincoat.Zixuan took off his coir raincoat and bamboo hat, and the clothes inside were also a little wet. "This day seems to be missing, it's endless, and I don't know when it will end." Zixuan sighed.

Jinghan hurriedly found clean clothes and helped Zixuan change them. "What's more, thanks to the kang we burn here, these clothes can be put on the kang to dry, otherwise, even the clothes will be wet. You go out today, how is the outside? The river is Isn't the rise very strong?" Jing Han asked a little worried.

"Isn't it? The river is rising very fast now. Fortunately, when we built the levee, we built it quite high. Now it seems that there is still a period of time before it rises to the top. However, we must always be prepared. I I plan to take people to some dangerous places and build a second flood embankment. Do my best to protect the nearby villages. You know, if it is flooded, it will be a heavy loss. As long as there is If you have a little hope, you can't give up." Zixuan quickly changed his clothes, and then talked about his plan.

"I heard that many places in the nearby prefectures and counties have been flooded, and many people have died. On the other side of the prefectural city, several counties have also been flooded. The magistrate sent someone over to investigate I did not agree to take the army stationed here. If there is something wrong here, where can I transfer people?" Zixuan talked about the situation in the north, and most of the places failed to escape the flood this time. .

Jinghan couldn't help sighing, "At the beginning, the magistrate sent someone to scold you, how is it now? Even Fucheng is flooded, right? This person, if he can't see the long-term, but is blindfolded by interests, An accident will happen sooner or later. Now, those merchants won't say anything anymore, right? Although they have been asked to take out some money, compared with the flood, this money is really insignificant. It's just that this year's grain production will inevitably decrease , the life of the people will be sad again.”

What Jinghan is most worried about is naturally these ordinary people, who have just lived a good life for a few days now, are they going to go back to the past again this time? "What is the field like now? Is the water deep?"

"Well, in some places, the water is quite deep, and it looks like the crops are going to be choked." Zixuan also felt a little distressed, the crops in the field are all the blood and sweat of the farmers for a year.

It's still raining outside, and it's not light.Zixuan couldn't stay at home anymore, so he put on his coir raincoat and led some people from the county government to the Nuoni River.The water of the Tao'er River is finally poured into the Moon Pao, and then into the Nuoni River.Fortunately, the moon was still there, so it relieved Nuonijiang's pressure.

Around the moon bubble, there is a large swamp of grassy swamps, and no one lives there, so even if the water level rises a lot, it will not pose any threat to people.The Moon Pao Village was built on a rather high terrain, and some protective dams were built here in the spring. So far, there is no major problem with the Moon Pao Village.

Zixuan lived in Moon Pao Village with many people from the yamen.It is relatively close to the Tao'er River and the Nuoni River, so if anything happens, he can rush to deal with it immediately.

The rain did not stop. The water of the Nuoni River had long since lost its original clear green color, but had turned a khaki-yellow color.The turbulent river, the huge waves tumbling, brought a mighty force, slapping the river embankment.

"My lord, the water level is now five or six feet away from the mouth of the embankment. We must quickly build a second flood embankment. Otherwise, once the flood overflows the embankment, the people will still suffer." Zhao Xiancheng stood Said beside Zixuan.

"Well, let's get to work, and try to get the second flood barrier ready before the water level rises. This place is the most critical place, as long as we keep it here, nothing will happen." Zixuan also knew the current situation The situation is a bit serious, so I ordered everyone to act quickly.
