There are no old, weak, women and children among the people who control the water in the field, and all of them are young and middle-aged men.

Li Yi'an also stipulated that all those under the age of 16 and over 40 years old do not need to come to water control, which also overturned Liu Tongfang's initial practice.

If it is to save the family's fields, they don't know how happy they don't have to do anything, but now all they want to save are their fields, even if they are beyond the age range, there are still many people who are willing to spontaneously come to help.

Li Yi'an picked up a few sandbags and followed the crowd to fill up the high embankment. After walking around for a few laps, he was exhausted and out of breath, let alone other people.

"Sir, take a break first!"

Chang Sun Chong handed over a towel and said, "I will arrange everything according to your plan. In the future, the flood control will probably be like this. No one dares to mess around again."

Li Yi'an clapped his hands and said: "It's good to do this, I'll go to another place for a while, and you can come with me."

Coming down from the embankment, maybe the flood discharge was done well, and there was not much water on the ground, which is a good change.

After a while, Li Yi'an went to a nearby village and saw people busy preparing food for the people fighting the flood, and these cooking groups were all women who did not need corvee.

"You voluntarily took out the food for them to eat?"

Li Yi'an stopped a woman and asked curiously.

"All our food was washed away by the flood, which was sent to us from the governor's mansion."

The woman said: "I also heard that Liu Shijun has been locked up by a Li Zhan who came from Chang'an to inspect Hangzhou. I don't know how good that Li Zhan is now. He not only sends us food, but also clothes. They were all delivered overnight last night. Yesterday I was still fighting the flood, and we were sent home last night, so it’s not good for us to do nothing, just help everyone cook and do our part.”

Speaking out all the words in her heart, the woman hurried to work, and so did the others, and no one paid any attention to Li Yi'an.

"Sir, we didn't sleep last night, and we will arrange it in your name."

Sun Chong, who was by his side, smiled and said, "It's normal for them to be grateful to Mr.

These gratitudes are all likely to be transformed into experience.

Li Yi'an nodded slightly, and continued to walk into the village, but heard a burst of crying from beside him. He searched for the sound and found that it was a seven or eight-year-old girl kneeling on the ground, letting the rain fall on her body, crying intermittently .

Her big watery eyes were a little red and swollen from crying at the moment, and people couldn't help but feel sorry for them.

"what happened to you?"

Li Yi'an squatted down and gently put the hat on her head to block the rain.

The little girl looked up at him slightly, and cried, "My little sister who depends on each other is starving to death!"

These words suddenly made Li Yi'an's heart tingle, thinking of that little girl, wondering if her sister was as miserable as that little girl.

"where is your family?"

Li Yian asked again.

"I have no family."

The little girl shook her head: "My parents died a long time ago. I took my younger sister with me and lived on other people's relief until now. Now I don't even have a younger sister."

I don't know if it was Li Yi'an's illusion, but he actually saw a trace of strength in a seven or eight year old girl.

I saw her wiping away her tears and rain, and said, "I don't know what to do now."

It seems that her sister is her only belief. Without belief, she has little hope of living.

"You go back with me, okay?"

Li Yi'an continued: "Anyway, you have nowhere to go. My family happens to be short of a maid. If you come with me, you can live comfortably. If my sister is still alive, she won't want to see you sad."

The little girl pondered for a long time, then stood up slowly, and said softly, "Thank you!"

She really had nowhere to go, so she followed Li Yian carefully, following Li Yian around, like a little tail.

After walking around the area, Li Yi'an asked, "By the way, my name is Li Yi'an, what's your name?"

"So you are the Li Zhan thing that many people have said?"

The little girl was pleasantly surprised: "I heard from people outside that Li Zhanshi is a very good person."

Li Yian smiled, waiting for her response.

"My name is Chen Shuozhen!" she said again.

Chen Shuozhen?

The name Li Yi'an sounds very familiar. I remember reading it in "Old Tang Book". After thinking about it for a while, I looked at this little girl in surprise.

Chen Shuozhen, the first self-proclaimed female emperor in Chinese history, was many years earlier than Wu Zetian.

In the fourth year of Yonghui, Chen Shuozhen declared an uprising and called himself Emperor Wenjia.

She is not a simple person either. The means before the rebellion were not bad either. First, she used the Manichaeism from the north and the Taoist Pavilion Zao Sect to develop believers. Gaining a large number of believers, coupled with the corruption of officials at that time, her uprising naturally rose up.

Li Yi'an didn't expect that if he came out by himself, he could bring a future empress back. I don't know if it's good or bad. Will this empress come to rebel?

He could do some calculations, but in the end, he still didn't do it. Some things need to be kept a bit mysterious. He still firmly believes in that sentence, if everything can be predicted in advance, life will be much less fun.

"Li Zhan, you... what's the matter with you?"

Chen Shuozhen found that he looked at himself a little strangely.

"It's okay, I used to have an old friend with a name similar to yours, and I felt a little emotional for a moment."

Li Yi'an casually found a reason for himself.

Chang Sun Chong scratched his head curiously. He has been with Mr. for so long, and he has never heard of this old friend.

"Let's go. I have a younger sister in my family who is a little younger than you. She will definitely like it."

Li Yi'an said.

"really?"

Chen Shuozhen's eyes were shining brightly.

But Li Yi'an didn't take her back now, he went back to the governor's mansion first, and asked someone to bring her new clothes, as well as something to eat and drink.

The girl looked at the food on the table with her big eyes motionless, but she didn't want to do anything.

"Not to your taste?"

Li Yian asked.

"I was thinking, if my sister could have had a bite of these things earlier, it wouldn't have happened."

Chen Shuozhen cried again as she said that, she doted on her sister very much.

Li Yi'an didn't know how to persuade him for a while.

Time passed quickly.

This rain, Li Yi'an said it would last for half a month, and it really did.

At noon after half a month, the rain finally stopped and everything returned to normal.

"The rain has stopped!"

I don't know who shouted outside.

Immediately afterwards, everyone in the governor's mansion cheered.

"Is Chang Sun Chong here?"

Li Yi'an shouted, with a smile on his face. These are the fruits of his labor for so many days, and they can be regarded as making up for the mistakes he made by using the wrong person.

For the people of Hangzhou, he doesn't have to feel too guilty.

"Yes, I am!"

Chang Sun Chong hurried out and asked, "What else do you want sir?"
