The Reborn Wife is Farming

Mu Yangling and the members of the Liu family worked together, and they could go back and forth ten times a day. Because the Liu family had little land, and they stayed up late to water a lot during the two days when Mu Shi was there, they only went to the reservoir to fetch water for three days. The wheat fields are watered all over.

At this time, the water in the No. 2 reservoir had almost bottomed out, and everyone was waiting for Qi Haoran to open the No. 3 reservoir, but Song Zhi found the military camp at this time.

Song Zhi's face was full of stubble, and his face was blue. He looked at Qi Haoran with a haggard face and said, "My good brother, I didn't want to ask you to come here, but there is really no other way."

Qi Haoran and Song Zhi have a good relationship, seeing him like this, he couldn't help being surprised, "You were dismissed?"

Song Zhi glared at him, "Can't you think of something better?"

"Looking at you like this, you don't think you want to be promoted?"

Song Zhi choked, and said: "I haven't been dismissed from office, but it's about the same. Mingshui County just crosses such a river, and the imperial court made a decree that all the fields along the river will become your military fields and the permanent fields of military households. But there are still many people’s farms downstream and in the distance, you have used all the river water, and those people can only wait to starve to death.”

Qi Haoran stared and said: "My lord didn't ask someone to cut off the water flow."

Song Zhi said helplessly: "No one asked anyone to cut off the water flow, but so many fields need to be irrigated, how much can still flow down? The people are suffering."

Qi Haoran came back to his senses now, and said: "Don't fool me, I have already inquired clearly, these fields before were owned by those landlords and gentry, in drought years, they cut off the water flow, in case of floods, they Letting water flush the fields, they have done a lot of things like this, now that the Lord is taking over these fields, but he hasn't done anything wrong, I don't believe their life will be more difficult than before."

"Young general is benevolent, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come to the door," Song Zhi said, "but look outside, the fields of the soldiers under you are right by the river, and they have to rush to water them with water from the reservoir. What about the people who are far away from the river and have no water available? God won’t give them a way to survive this year, and the autumn tax is about to start, little general, I don’t want to force the people to death.”

Qi Haoran patted the table impatiently and said, "Just tell me what you want to do, I am impatient to listen to this."

Song Zhi said cautiously: "Little General, I heard that you still have useless water from the No. 3 reservoir."

Qi Haoran looked at him with a dark face, Song Zhi bit the bullet and said: "I beg you to take pity on the poor people and release water for disaster relief."

Qi Haoran was silent for a while, and said: "Let me think about it." Qi Haoran got up and left. He went out and asked people to invite the old people from various villages to ask about the watering situation.

Knowing that 70% of the wheat fields have been watered, and only the remaining 30%, and the other 30% are still inferior, Qi Haoran waved them back, and then came back and said to Song Zhi: "I agree to release the water, but the downstream Not only the fields of the common people, but also the land of the Sun family and the Zhao family and other squires, I don’t need the salaries of the common people, but I don’t give them these few squires for nothing.”

The corners of Song Zhi's mouth twitched, this is not a young master who came out of the Jinxiu pile, but he looked like he came out of the gang of beggars, so he didn't miss a little bit of benefits.

Song Zhi asked, "Then what do you want?"

Qi Haoran spat out two words, "Food!"

Song Zhi thought for a while and asked, "How much do you want?"

"Not much, it's up to each family to make up their own minds. I will take out ten bags of grain from the Sun family and the Zhao family each, and the other families will send me ten bags. That's not much, right? One more thing, whose family You are not allowed to dig ditches to pass the water, my water is mainly for the people downstream, if those country gentry dug ditches to store water by virtue of their numbers, will my water be released in vain?"

The condition Qi Haoran put forward was what Song Zhi couldn't ask for. He came here for the sake of the people downstream, so naturally he didn't want those gentry and landlords to seize too many people's resources.

The matter was decided in this way, and when the military households knew that the water in the No. 1 reservoir was going to be drained instead of being opened to them, they immediately became unhappy.

But Qi Haoran stood on it with a cold face and looked at them coldly, they didn't dare to make trouble, they could only watch the water rushing out.

I don't know who shouted: "Hurry up and get water to irrigate, this water will be gone!"

Everyone swarmed up to fetch water.

Qi Haoran frowned, "They have already watered 70% of the water, and some people have even finished watering, so what's the matter with the people below? It's too detrimental to others."

Fan Zijin stood next to him, waving his fan, and said, "There have always been many people like this. What's so special? Look, Mu Yangling is among them. Hasn't her family's land been watered? Didn't they come too?"

Qi Haoran looked down and indeed saw Mu Yangling, but she fetched water and handed it to the person behind her, she didn't use it herself. Qi Haoran opened his eyes and looked over, and found that behind her were old and weak women and children, and thought to himself: This Mu Yang is too kind-hearted, and he came here to fetch water for others.

Mu Yangling didn't come here specifically to fetch water for others, she came here to fetch water and go back to irrigate the vegetable fields. It happened that the No. 1 reservoir was releasing water, so she took a shortcut and fetched water by the river.

Seeing a woman with a big belly bent down to fetch water, she was terrified, so she kindly helped her. Seeing that the old woman behind her was trembling, she also helped her...

The people behind knew that the little girl was helping the old and the weak, women and children to fetch water.

After all, the water has just come out. The opening of the reservoir is quite wide, and the current is fast. If a person accidentally falls, a wave will hit him and he will disappear.

Those women and children who felt old and weak consciously stood in line behind Mu Yangling, and Mu Yangling never stopped fetching water.

Standing on a high place, Qi Haoran quickly noticed the clue, waved and called a guard, pointed down and said, "Did you see those old and weak women and children? Go and fetch water, stand in a row and help them fetch water , don’t let anyone fall into the river.”

The guards responded and went down to order about twenty people to go down.

Most of the people who came to grab water today are nearby villagers. They are not military households. They have been waiting for this water for a long time, so people are crowded and no one will let them go. event.

The guard came over and snatched the wooden barrel from Mu Yangling's hand, and shouted: "Miss Mu, the little general is here too, leave this place to us, you go up quickly."

Mu Yangling looked up and saw Qi Haoran standing on the reservoir, nodded in response, and went out with two buckets of water.

Walking up to Qi Haoran, he boasted: "Qi Haoran, I never thought that you still have people in your heart, and now everyone praises you."

Qi Haoran's face turned reddish, and he asked, "What are you complimenting me for?"

"I have everything to praise you, saying that you are benevolent and benevolent, that you are a good person, that you are handsome and martial, and that you are both talented and beautiful..."

Qi Haoran's complacent face suddenly collapsed, and Fan Zijin burst out laughing directly.

Mu Yangling said seriously: "Really, they really praised you like that. Just now I heard it down there and my ears were almost callused."
