The Reborn Wife is Farming

After a long time, Liu Ting took people to build the rest of the thatched house, covering the top with thick thatch. Liu Yuan patted the dry and thick thatch, and said to Mu Shi: "As long as it is not a heavy rainstorm, There will be no problem with this roof." He looked up at the hot sun in the sky, wiped his sweat and sighed: "I would rather it had a heavy rain, look, the river is almost dry."

Mu Shi turned his head to look at the river on the other side. The water level in the river has dropped sharply now, exposing the stones in the river. Mu Shi stood in the deepest part of the water, and the water did not reach his waist. The water was deep enough, and now the water in the river can no longer flow into the canal.

Now the sun is bright, and the wheat and rice are growing fast. In two days, we can irrigate and wait for the wheat and rice to fill.

With so many wheat fields, the river water is definitely not enough to irrigate, and competition for water is inevitable.

Mu Shi frowned when he thought that he was leaving the day after tomorrow, and went back to discuss with his daughter, "Father is leaving the day after tomorrow, why don't our family start carrying water tonight."

"Don't wait for the news from the barracks?" Mu Yangling said, "Didn't the little general open the reservoir to release water?"

"That has to be robbed. While Dad is still at home, I can protect you. We will water the rice fields first at night, and we will water the wheat fields tomorrow."

Mu Shi made up his mind, and Mu Yangling naturally listened to him.

At the same time, Qi Haoran was also talking to Fan Zijin about the irrigation, "This irrigation is a big deal, I think we will give the whole army three days off and let them go back."

Fan Zijin looked at him with raised eyebrows, and Qi Haoran sighed: "I can't help it either. The eldest brother sent me a message, saying that only our side of the five battalions is doing better, and the crops of the other battalions haven't even pulled out many ears of wheat. , let alone grouting, this year’s grain and grass will mainly come from me.”

If Qi Xiuyuan wasn't his elder brother, Qi Haoran would have scolded his mother, but he was his own elder brother, and his mother was his own mother. He came here mainly to help his elder brother, so he could only bear this burden.

"The generals of the third battalion and the fourth battalion came to borrow water again." Fan Zijin said.

Qi Haoran curled his lips and said, "If I ask them to exchange weapons, I don't want too many. I want one hundred long knives, one hundred long spears and five horses. I will give them all the water from the No. 1 reservoir."

Fan Zijin asked, "Total?"

Qi Haoran looked at him contemptuously, "How can we share it? Of course, each has its own way. The No. 1 reservoir is so big. I only got two hundred long knives, two hundred long spears and ten horses in exchange, which is enough."

Fan Zijin patted him on the shoulder, "Yes, yes, since you feel that you are losing money, then I will raise the price for you. If you want to come forward, you can raise as much as you want. They will definitely have to lower the price."

"Then I will leave this matter to you." Qi Haoran waved his hands away.

Fan Zijin turned his head and proposed to others the price of 500 swords, 500 spears, and 10 horses each. The participants of the third and fourth battalions almost vomited blood.

Food and grass are not easy to obtain, and weapons are also difficult to obtain. The general gives them a lot. In this regard, they are not as good as the first and second battalions. It was their turn, and there were only so many things, and Fan Zijin really dared to speak up.

But they didn't have the confidence to turn around and leave.

Before the third and fourth camps, there were no water conservancy measures at all, and the land was not as good as the fifth camp. Now the wheat earings in the wheat fields are only half drawn. If the grouting is not guaranteed, they will have to drink the northwest wind to harvest next year's autumn harvest. a,

The general asked them to scold them two days ago, saying that they were not even as good as Qi Haoran with one finger.

Qi Haoran, a kid in his teens, was prettier than them, even though they were aggrieved, they had to admit it.

The water in the river is definitely not enough to irrigate, and only Qi Haoran has repaired water conservancy in these ten miles and eight villages. Not only are they looking at the hot water in Qi Haoran's three large reservoirs, but the local gentry can't wait to come up and lick Qi Haoran's feet. The two generals dare not neglect now.

In the end, after arduous negotiations between the two participating generals, the price was always reduced to 230 long swords, 230 long spears, and five horses per battalion.

The two battalions equally divided the water in the No. 1 reservoir.

Fan Zijin was so blessed, Qi Haoran said: "I think you can use this to offset the food you owe to the Sun family and the Zhao family. Aren't they worried about having no water to irrigate? You should just give up the water from the No. 2 reservoir."

Qi Haoran frowned, "No, I have to guarantee my production first."

"With so many soldiers, are you afraid that you won't be able to grab water? If you drag someone up to dig a big hole in Jialing's water, and then block the river downstream, won't there be water?"

If Mu Yangling was here, he would definitely scold Fan Zijin for being wicked.

Qi Haoran's heart moved for a moment, then he shook his head and said, "No, then Song Zhi must have eaten me alive, and he was also causing trouble for the elder brother. We will not do that immoral thing."

"Then you can pay back the grain after the autumn harvest. Do you think you have to pay? The big cousin wants so much grain and grass, you have to be hollowed out. What do you have to pay back?"

Qi Haoran pulled his hair, and finally said shamelessly: "Master won't pay it back this year, but keep it until next year, what can they do?"

Fan Zijin: "..." It's really shameless, he is willing to bow down.

Qi Haoran made up his mind and gave all the soldiers a holiday on the same day, and opened the No. 2 reservoir the next day. All military households of the fifth battalion can go to the reservoir to fetch water for irrigation without fighting.

And that afternoon, Mu Shi had already picked up buckets and followed his daughter and others to carry water into the paddy fields.

The reservoir was a certain distance away from their land, and no one went to the reservoir when there was still water in the river, but on the third day, the water in the river was only muddy pit water, and half a bucket of water was left in the river. mud.

In order to fight for water, Mu Yangling and the others witnessed three bloody fights. At this time, Mu Shi had been away for two days.

Sitting slumped on the ground, Ma Liu said, "Ah Ling, we have to fetch water from the reservoir."

Mu Yangling was using wooden boards to surround the cart, when he heard the words: "Auntie, don't go to the reservoir, I will go to my cousin and the others, and our family will go together, you and my mother will go to the field , I’ll bring the water back and you can water it in the fields.”

"How can I do that? This cart can hold nine buckets of water, and we have to go back and forth several times. Anyway, we still have buckets at home, so I might as well pick another bucket."

"No, the reservoir is very chaotic. If someone accidentally bumps into you, what will our family do? You can honestly take my mother to the field, or I will have to take time to protect you."

Before my aunt could make up her mind, Liu Ting's voice sounded outside, "Ah Ling, is it alright?"

Liu Ting and Liu Yuan came here with several cousins. Like Mu Yangling, they were all pushing carts. When Mu Yangling saw that his cousins ​​and aunts were also carrying buckets, he asked, "How do you express?" Aunt and the others go too?"

Liu Ting said with a smile: "Your cousins ​​and aunts are amazing, they are no worse than us, let's go, while it is still early, there are not many people."

Mu Yangling waved goodbye to his family, pushed the cart and left, Ma Liushi wanted to catch up, but Shu Wanniang grabbed her and said, "Auntie, let's not make trouble, just stay here as Ah Ling said. Wait in the field."

Ma Liushi glared at her, "You mother is really forgiving."

Shu Wanniang said with a smile: "Don't you be lenient? When Ah Ling was only four years old, she told me in a serious manner that she should learn to weigh the interests. Over the years, I have long been used to it. If I follow to benefit Ah Ling, she will stop me. I want to follow, but if it's harmful to her, even if someone forces me to follow with a knife, I can't cause her trouble."
