Wulin Chinese Network ., the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Three Kingdoms Hidden Marquis!
The ancient road, war horses, and dozens of people galloped between the fields, raising a layer of dust, looking at the wilting crops in the fields on both sides, and then looking at the scorching sun above his head, Lu Xun opened his mouth sweating profusely.
Hot!
It's been so hot!
The ambition that had just set off had not yet come to Chang'an City, and it had been sharpened by this boring and hot day.
"On this day...... It's like a stove, it's really hot! ”
Lu Xun looked at the endless ancient road in front of him, which was deserted, and there was not even a farmer's house to escape the summer, and couldn't help complaining.
"Alas! Who says it's not, they all say spring ploughing and autumn wars, I really don't understand why King Wei went to conquer Chang'an this summer! ”
Pang Tong's face was covered with a layer of dust, and the few people who had seen the fire on each floor for many days were all gray and tired at the moment.
"It's strange this year, there hasn't been a single rain, look at this situation, this year's crops are going to be underharvested!"
It's no wonder that a few people sighed, the thirsty fields opened their mouths wide, as if their throats were smoking, this is how much water is not enough for this land to drink, is this God going to rain drought and cut off the people's way of life!
"Alas!"
Lu Xun and Pang Tong glanced at each other, and couldn't help sighing, it was rare that this team of enemies did not quarrel.
"Ning Wu, why didn't you speak all the way?"
Lu Xun turned his head sideways and asked the young man on the other side.
The young man frowned, and his face always looked resolute, as if he was making some important decision.
Lu Xun and Ning Wu are familiar, and they have long been surprised by his appearance.
"Nothing...... Well said! ”
Tightly clutching the war knife on his body, Ning Wu glanced sideways at Lu Xun, thought for a moment, spit out a few words stiffly, and continued to close his mouth tightly.
"Huh? Hahaha...... "Pang Tong rode on the war horse, but he couldn't help laughing.
"Lu Xun, this is the eldest baby taken in by Mr., right? I had heard his name in the academy, and Uncle Zhou was full of praise for him, but ...... His sister is much cuter than he is......"
Ning Wu didn't seem to hear Pang Tong's words, and only when he heard the words of his sister couldn't help but glance at Pang Tong.
"Ahem! Xiao Wu's toughness is praised by the master, he is this character, since the first day I met him, I haven't seen him speak! ”
"Don't worry, Master Pang Shiyuan has a lot, and I won't blame him!"
"Whew!"
Lu Xun shook his head, this Pang Tong really felt good about himself, did he really think he was explaining for Ning Wu?
Wrong!
I explained this to Ning Wu, afraid that he would have an opinion on Pang Tong.
"It's been more than ten days since we came out, and I don't know if the master knows that we are about to enter the realm of Sili......"
"Hey! It's almost there, and it's really torturous to go on like this! ”
Pang Tong and Ning Rong had been to Youzhou before, and the distance was naturally much more than this time, but ...... It wasn't that hot!
…… And what is Ning Rong doing at this moment? Speaking of which, I'm afraid no one believes it, because he is mobilizing the men, women and children of the entire Ningjiazhuang to dig the canal, and it is not an ordinary canal, just at the bottom of the canal, three or four miles away from Ningjiazhuang, he also ordered someone to build a huge one
Dam.
"Master Hou, what happened this day is that no amount of rain will flood the crops, why are we digging ditches?"
The old man grabbed a shovel in his hand, and his calloused hand dug up a shovel of soil and put it on top of the embankment.
"It's coming! It's about to rain......" Ning Rong stared at the scorching sky with a solemn face.
"Where?"
The old man in the Ning family Zhuangzi looked up at the sunny sky, and no matter how he looked at it, he didn't see the sign of rain.
"Pei Yuanshao, where's the sand? Hurry up and let them bring the sand to Lao Tzu, no one is allowed to leave tonight, and the embankment and canal must be reinforced with cement! ”
Ning Rong angrily looked at Pei Yuanshao, who was grinding in the distance, and shouted angrily.
"Hou Ye~ Hou Ye, there is not enough lime powder......"
Zhou Cang ran over panting, at first they didn't know the magic of lime powder, but since Ning Rong used lime powder and sand to create a smooth and solid country road, everyone's use of lime powder instantly increased.
Some even reinforced, and now look at their sturdy houses, bright appearance, and then look at the dirt yards in Sili and Eight Townships, and their nostrils are about to twist to the sky.
"Send someone to inform Zang Ba in Qingzhou and ask him to bring the sand to Lao Tzu overnight! What a bunch of garbage, and you can't do this little thing! ”
Ning Rong stared at Zhou Cang with red eyes, Zhou Cang looked at Hou Ye's appearance, didn't say a word, turned around and went to find the manager who managed the lime powder.
"Lao Li, what about Lao Li......"
Half of the people in Ningjiazhuang were the Yellow Turban Army who were attached to Ning Rong at the beginning, that is, the old brothers of Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, and some of them were people who were desperate later and were taken in by Mi Zhen.
And the most useful is Mi Zhen's dowry, the Mi family is very generous to send hundreds of stewards, thousands of servants and maids, Ning Rong is not willing to raise so many mouths to eat, so he pushed it to Mi Zhen, and the rest was arranged on the Ning family's Zhuangzi. Nowadays, these people also perform their own duties, and the people who are attached to Ning Rong act as the guards of Ningjiazhuang, they spontaneously organize themselves and accept Ning Rong's control, and Mi Zhen's dowries are all good at business, these people have become the stewards of Ningjiazhuang, and those poor people are happy to accept it
The land that Ning Rong gave always tried to grow something.
At first, Ning Rong was still a little worried about whether these people could get along peacefully, but after getting along for a long time, these people became familiar with each other, and those old yellow scarves also began to try to farm.
"Master Hou, Master Hou...... Certain...... So-and-so is here......"
Li Ning panted and climbed up from the ditch.
"This ...... Who told you to dig the river? Don't do your job! Ning Rong came up and reprimanded him, "Let me ask you, how is the construction over there in Xu Du?" Xun Wenruo, this guy won't do nothing! ”
Looking at Ning Rong's menacing appearance of cannibalism, Li Ning was stunned, and his head was short-circuited, how could he ever see such a crazy and angry Ning Rong. "Uh...... No, no, no......" Li Ning shook his head in fright, looking at Ning Rong's ugly face, only then did he react, and quickly explained, "It's repaired!" Although Xun Lingjun was puzzled, when he heard that it was Hou Ye who said, he still ordered the people to be recruited to raise the first line of the Yellow River on the north bank by more than three zhang, which is the territory
Countless intricate canals have also been built......"
"It's not enough! You immediately enter the city and pass on my military order, so that Xun Wenruo can mobilize the remaining Nanya forbidden army, and the canal must be strengthened before it rains tonight! ”
Rain?
Li Ning was a little confused, would it rain on such a hot day?
"Don't hurry up yet!" Looking at Li Ning, who was struggling, Ning Rong resisted the urge to kick people, pinched his waist with both hands, and looked at the empty land with a solemn face.
