peasant girl allure

Chapter 287
"Our two families are brothers whose bones are broken and the tendons are still connected. At that time, there was some misunderstanding..."

"My lady, your daughter is about to give birth. Do you really plan to continue discussing this issue with me here? You have the mood, and I don't have the time! We don't agree with each other, and in the future our two families will not cross each other. .”

Xiao'er left these words and asked Liu Shi and Lu Shi to go back to the grain and oil store.

Thinking of her daughter, Lan stamped her feet. Although she was unwilling, she had no choice but to give up. She gritted her teeth and hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Some people in the crowd gathered together to talk about the past with relish.

But what the truth is is not important to these troublemakers. Some gossiping women will even make up some plots in their hearts, and tell them vividly, as if they are real. To them, this is It is a kind of entertainment in leisure time.

In the end, Shen Baoer failed to give birth to a son as she wished. After the prime minister's wife knew it was her daughter, she turned around and left without even looking at her granddaughter. A concubine daughter is not worth her attention now, it depends on her appearance when she grows up and talent.

However, Shen Baoer managed to live in the prime minister's mansion. Originally, the prime minister's wife wanted to leave the mother and keep the daughter, but the prime minister did not agree. The whole imperial capital is now paying attention to this matter. If he fails, he will lose any official voice.

Mrs. Zhang fainted from anger at Shen Baoer's success in staying, and later invited the imperial physician, but it was a happy diagnosis, and now the prime minister's wife was happy again.

For the sake of the son she was looking forward to with great difficulty, Mrs. Zhang also decided to ignore Shen Baoer for the time being. Anyway, she was pregnant and wanted to find Tongfang to serve her husband. Instead of one or two more people competing for favor, Shen Baoer would be fine!

The imperial physician also said that Shen Bao'er's body was damaged by giving birth this time, and it might be difficult for her to conceive again in the future.

A concubine without a son, no matter how powerful she is, she can't turn the world over!

She also wanted to understand, the concubine who stayed under her nose was not allowed to be rounded and flattened by her!Want to have a good time?dream!
……

The weather is getting drier, and there have been water leakage accidents in the imperial capital for several days.

The crops in the field have already been harvested and put into the warehouse. Compared with the yield of nearly [-] catties per mu, the harvest is only nearly [-] catties per mu!But this is enough to make the people cheer!Some industrious ones can add up to a hundred or so.

After three months of drought, the yield is higher than before when the weather was good. Can you not be happy!
Some peasants said that even if they took a few loads of water to irrigate the fields in the past few months, they still felt it was worth it!

Therefore, although the land is dry and cracked, the people's enthusiasm for farming has not diminished, and they are eager to dig the land as soon as possible, planning to plant winter wheat as usual, and then go to the river to fetch water.

However, the water level of the river is also decreasing every day.

Shangguan Xuanyi, Di Shaowei, Xiaoer, and Shen Chengyao all came out to inspect the drought.

The situation is still grim.

"If you plant winter wheat at this time, you won't even waste the wheat seeds!" Di Shaowei was worried as he looked at the cracked land.

Those women who are good at giving birth mostly have two babies in three years, but God's situation is better this year and natural disasters come again after more than a year, why is that!
"It's not like there is no water at all. Irrigation with sufficient moisture before sowing is the key factor for cultivating strong wheat seedlings and affecting the high yield of wheat. It doesn't rain, and now we can only rely on manpower, which is a lot of hard work."

Xiaoer and his family grow winter wheat in their fields.

Xiao'er doesn't know if it will rain next spring, but winter wheat doesn't need too much water throughout the winter.

Just water well when planting, and then do another winter irrigation.

"As for how to irrigate the winter wheat in drought years, post a notice tomorrow morning." Xiao'er felt that the hope of planting it was better than leaving the land empty.

You can't just not plan to do anything just because it's not raining!
Thinking of this, Xiao'er thought of an important thing to do!
This can be regarded as the great fortune in misfortune!
"Let's go to the Huaijiang River to see the water level."

"The North Huaijiang River is almost out of water, and the water level of the Huaijiang River should not be optimistic!" Looking at the bright sun in the sky, Di Shaowei really wanted to follow Hou Yi's example of shooting the sun.

"Go and have a look first." Xiao'er didn't express her thoughts in advance.

"Now? I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the city at night." Shen Chengyao frowned.

"Go now and send someone to bring a message to mother. If you don't come back tonight, you will spend the night at the post." Then Xiao'er explained the method of watering the winter wheat to Xiao Fuzi, and asked him to arrange for someone to post the notice in the morning.

Then the few people rushed to the edge of the Huai River.

"Look, the water level has dropped by more than half. In another month, even the Huai River may dry up!"

Xiao'er saw that the water level of the Huaijiang River had dropped by more than half, but she smiled: "This is better and more convenient."

If someone else heard Xiao'er's words, they might think she was crazy.

But the three people present knew that Xiao'er would not say this for no reason, so they all looked at her.

"Girl, what feat have you done?" Di Shaowei unconsciously felt anticipation.

This is an emotion that can only be felt when there is absolute trust in a person's ability.

Shangguan Xuanyi guessed it, he looked at this moat with eager eyes.

The Huaijiang River was a big river that divided the north and south of the Minze Dynasty, and the entire territory of the Minze Dynasty was divided into two by this big river.

The Huai River has two tributaries, one flowing northward is called the North Huaijiang River; the other flowing southward is called the South Huaijiang River.

"This year's labor will start soon, right? I'm going to build a bridge on the Huai River."

Grandpa Mao once said: "A bridge flies from north to south, and the natural moat becomes a thoroughfare."

She also wants to build a bridge like this here!

A bridge with milestone significance in the history of bridges in the world.

It coincided with a severe drought and the water level was extremely low. It was simply the right time, favorable location and harmonious people.

"Build a bridge over the Huaijiang River? How is this possible! Do you know how wide the Huaijiang River is!"

"Why is it impossible? There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart! Although it is a bit difficult, it is not completely impossible, but to complete this feat, it really needs God's blessings and a long drought." Xiaoer will not underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. There are many buildings in ancient times that modern people cannot explain how they were built. It is not too difficult to build a bridge.

Besides, the Huaijiang River is not as wide as the longest river in modern times.

The water is too deep, and she can't do anything about it. It's not that the water is much shallower, and it will continue to be shallow. It's almost reaching the depth of a normal river. That's why she brought up this idea.

"Xiao'er, a big river like the Huaijiang River doesn't know how deep it is in the middle,..."

"Whether the bridge can be built or not, you will know if you have tried it. There is not a severe drought every year. Even if there is a severe drought, the water level of the Huaijiang River will not be so low every time. We must not miss this opportunity!"

"Build! And not just one!" Shangguan Xuanyi made the final decision!
Within the territory of the Minze Dynasty, the Huai River flows through several counties of the two major prefectures.

If time permits, one will be built in every county!Not to be missed!
