Chapter 1664 Out of the water once
If it is suitable, they will make an appointment to meet again. If it is not suitable, they will just leave.
It's not easy for a girl like this to disguise herself. If her son doesn't look down on her, she won't lose face to her.
Although Murong Xuan was reluctant, he knew that A-Niang was doing it for his own good, so he had to go with her obediently.
The next day, because officials from the government were going to dig a well, most of the people in the village had jobs, and even most of the children were helping to open up the wasteland.
After some took leave, they responded positively to the imperial court's orders, and they all started to fetch water from the river, store it, and use all the tools that could be used at home. Therefore, most of the onlookers were children who could not work and some elderly people. frail person.
In addition, the two wells are far apart, so the onlookers were scattered a lot, and only a few people came to watch, which did not cause much trouble for the well-drilling people.
And the people in the imperial court are indeed talents, and the two places chosen are all at once.
There are more people coming. If this person is tired, he can immediately change to another person and fight day and night.
Therefore, after a few days, the two wells were all drilled, and in order to make the water clear quickly, gravel and carbon were carefully placed at the bottom, and the top was surrounded by stones to prevent unclean things from falling. Going down, saving a lot of trouble for the people of Lihua Village.
Although there is not a lot of water now, but since it was pumped out, the water level has been getting higher and higher day by day. I believe that when the water in the river pond is used up or dried up, the water in these wells will come in handy.
The enthusiastic villagers wanted to keep the well diggers, but they said that the imperial court had ordered them to do other things, and the imperial court also gave them rich remuneration, so they did not stay.
The villagers listened, so they had to let them go.
At this time, Li Zheng was standing by a well in the west of Lihua Village, and threw a wooden bucket down, and soon filled a bucket of water and showed it to all the onlookers, after confirming that there was water in it, In order not to waste it, the water in the bucket was poured back into the well.
Li said seriously: "Everyone has seen it. This well is the same as the one we saw in the east just now. There is a lot of water in it, and the water level is getting higher and higher every day."
"Although we are ordinary people, His Majesty the Emperor didn't ignore us. I also asked when the officials sent me that day. If the drought doesn't come, these two wells should be used to improve water for everyone."
"So everyone must take good care of the grain in the fields now, don't be afraid of hardships and fatigue, strive for a bumper harvest, pay a little more tax and grain, and repay your majesty's kindness, understand?"
Everyone said in unison: "I know."
Some people immediately said excitedly: "Now there are two more wells in the village, and we will be able to drink clean water in the future."
"Yes, after the drought is over, with these two wells, life will be much more convenient in the future."
"Especially in summer, well water is much cooler than river water."
"Yes, yes, my family is much closer to these two wells than to the river.
…
Li Zheng said again: "These two wells are related to the lives of hundreds of people in the whole village. Whether they can survive or not depends on them."
"So, Chunling Xiangjun said that although it has a cover, it is not safe. I hope everyone can build a simple house for these two wells, just a bamboo house, and lock it well."
