Create a home with a system

Chapter 111
Looking at the enthusiasm of these villagers in their work, Li Chang Guo couldn't help but sigh, "It's been so many years, and this is the first time I've seen the people in Pingyuan Township so active, and they seem to be making progress."

County Magistrate Du nodded in agreement, and looked at those fields where no fence was built and all food was destroyed in the end, his brows were deeply frowned, and his eyes were full of pity, "How much loss is calculated?"

"Already counted, there are households in Pingyuan Township, and households have not taken any protective measures. Not only is there no food, but also their homes are gone. These households went to the town to make trouble. Although the officials are angry, But it can only be appeased temporarily, just as the autumn harvest is coming, some landlords hire day laborers, they are busy making money, and temporarily stop for a while.

After the autumn harvest, the government's disaster relief money should come down, and this matter should be resolved. "Guo Lichang stroked his beard as he walked, thinking and said.

County Magistrate Du was both happy and troubled, and after much deliberation, he still expressed his concerns, "This time, I thought that Pingyuan Township was the hardest hit, and the memorial was written harshly, not to mention that the court will How much relief money will be given, I am worried that I will not be able to explain after the imperial envoys come to know the situation in Pingyuan Township.

It is estimated that I, the magistrate of Anhong County, have done it well, and Pingyuan Township will still have to be taken care of by you in the future! "

These words made Guo Lichang's good mood disappear, and he, who has always been Buddha-nature, became anxious, "My lord, if you want to punish this matter, you should punish me. If I didn't send someone over to check it out immediately, I would There will be no such misunderstandings, anyway, the old man has lived to the end of his life, and he should be replaced after working here for a year or two at most.

If the imperial envoy really wants to blame you, you can directly confess to the lower official, the lower official can stand it! "

County Magistrate Du shook his head, sighed, and didn't talk much. The group soon arrived at the first household that harvested the rice. Everyone had the same fields. This household was the one who compromised later, and the land they were allotted was relatively low-lying. Some, because they were worried about the flood, the family asked Tang Junsheng carefully for advice, and added sandbags around the wall of the Tang family. Although it took up a lot of land, it really allowed them to keep their food.

It was also because the wall of this house blocked the flood, and the impact of the latter houses was naturally much smaller. Even though the wall was not as strong as the first house, it still held up.

County Magistrate Du walked around, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he was, and his eyes became moist, "Good! Good! When I came to Pingyuan Township, I said that the soil here is fertile, and it is absolutely good for growing food! It's a pity that there are floods every year. , I have never actually received a grain of grain from here, and I must taste it this year.”

He had seen it just now, those ears of rice were heavy, as if they were about to bend the pole, which meant that the grain was full and weighty.

Guo Lichang laughed and said: "If you want to taste it today, you can try it."

"it is good!"

A group of people talked and laughed, completely forgetting what happened just now.

Rain is the most feared when harvesting grain. Pingyuan Township is a place with many rainy seasons. It is rare to encounter such good weather. Naturally, we can't delay. Everyone can't wait to work in the fields wearing stars and wearing moons. Even eating feels like a waste of time.

Tangning wasn't familiar with this job at first, but she got started after a long time. In addition, she was strong enough to handle three or four at a time. Whether it was swinging a scythe, binding, or carrying, she could do anything.

When Qiu Jingming came to help, he saw her busy in the field, and walked towards Tang Junsheng without saying a word, "Uncle, I'm here to help you! Assign me tasks!"

Tang Junsheng got up and wiped the sweat from his forehead, drank a jar of water, and gasped, "Why are you back? Are you not busy with business?"

"It's okay! Now every household is busy harvesting food, my business must be affected. Just as grandpa said that you are too busy here, I am here. You can assign me tasks!" Qiu Jingming looked around, I really want to work near Tangning.

However, Tang Junsheng pointed him to a corner that was completely opposite to Tangning's, and said, "Start cutting from that side and follow Ah Ning head to tail, so that you can finish it earlier than us."

Qiu Jingming looked over, and the corner of his mouth twitched fiercely. Tang Junsheng was pointing to the middle line, which was equivalent to the split between him and Tangning. Bullied.

Tang Junsheng seemed to have heard the slander in his heart, and he grinned and said, "Don't say that we bully you, you will know in a while."

Qiu Jingming had a question mark on his face. He didn't understand the meaning of Tang Junsheng's words until he started working. He saw Tangning wielding a sickle alone, maintaining a fixed speed, like a wooden man without emotion, working without stopping.

With his peripheral vision, he kept paying attention to the movement on the other side, and looked up every few quarters of an hour. Every time Tangning's position surprised him.

In this kind of amazement, eighty percent of the land had already been mowed in just half a day. By the time it got dark, Tangning had mowed more than two acres of land by herself. It took a lot of hard work to barely keep up with them.

It's not to say how incompetent Tang Junsheng and the others are, but that the father and son's main job is carpentry. There is also little food and the weather is dry, so there is no need to worry about rain or anything. Jiang can rest and rest alone, and he can finish his work in a few days.

But everything here in Pingyuan Township is completely different from theirs. Such intensive work really exhausted them. At this time, Jiang's hands were trembling, and he couldn't even hold the sickle. He threw away the sickle early and went to do the work of binding.

"Father, how many more days do we have to harvest?" Jiang asked confusedly. It was the first time harvesting grain so hard that she suspected that she was not doing farm work in the northwest.

Tang Junsheng shook his head, feeling uncertain.

At this moment, Du Chunyue came over with a lantern and food on her back, and yelled: "Father and mother, I brought you food, everyone hurry up and come over to eat."

Qiu Jingming didn't look at Du Chunyue, but immediately looked at Tangning. She threw down the scythe in her hand and ran towards Du Chunyue.

People have to be careful when walking at night, and follow the pace, but she is good, she can run quickly, but she arrived at Du Chunyue's position in an instant.

Qiu Jingming went over in a daze and put down the sickle. There was a large tank in the field, which was specially used to store clean water for the workers to wash their faces, hands and feet.

Qiu Jingming's speed was not too busy, but when he passed by, Tangning had already washed her hands and feet and started eating. Seeing her like that, she was really hungry.
