Ye Sanniang walked on the field ridge and looked at the old canal that had been cleared. It was indeed much deeper than before. It turned out to be only a shallow layer, but it was shallower than she imagined.

"Why is she here?" the company commander stopped the shovel in his hand and looked at Ye Sanniang on the ridge from a distance.

"Who's here?" Lian Yougen straightened up and followed his father's line of sight, and said in surprise, "Madam Ye." He asked curiously, "What is she here for?"

"Who knows!" the company commander said casually.

"Uncle Mancang and Laifu are here, it means their arms are fine." Lian Yougen stared at their arms and said.

"It should be all right! If there is something wrong, why are you here?" The company chief guessed uncertainly.

"It shouldn't be! I can't lift this arm when I'm cleaning the drain." Lian Yougen looked at Gao Mancang in surprise and said.

"What are they holding in their hands? It's definitely fine." The company commander said with complete certainty, "I'm just curious, what is Mrs. Ye doing here?"

"Come over, come over." Lian Yougen said excitedly.

"What are you so excited for?" The company chief said as he looked at him jumping around like a monkey.

"This canal is full of men, so I'm surprised to see a woman!" Lian Yougen said with an embarrassed smile.

"It doesn't look like he's here to work." The company commander muttered in a low voice.

"How do you know?" Lian Yougen looked back at him puzzledly and said.

"Look at which one of us is wearing a straw hat?" Lian Lichang pointed to his head and looked at the others, "Look if there is none! It's not hot anymore."

"It's okay for people to wear straw hats!" Lian Yougen retorted in a low voice, "If you want to wear it, wear it!"

"She doesn't have any canal repairers in her hands." The company commander said, looking at Ye Sanniang who was walking towards them with empty hands.

"It's needless to say! Women can't do canal repairs. Look, there is no woman on this canal." Lian Yougen said after looking around for a week.

"Then why is she here?" Lian Lichang looked at them getting closer with a puzzled face and said.

"It's fine if you just ask." Lian Yougen said casually, waving his hands and raising his voice, "Aunt Ye, what are you doing here?"

"Come and see you clean up the drain!" Ye Sanniang said with a smile on his face when she heard this.

With a slap in the face, he blushed, and said with a smirk, "What's so interesting about cleaning the canal, it's dirty."

Ye Sanniang came over and looked at them and asked curiously, "Did this canal exist before? Who dug it?"

"Of course I dug it. It was there before, but it has to be cleaned up every year, or it will be buried." Lian Lichang looked at them with a shovel in his hand and said, "We are next to the Wei River, and it is full of dirt. , good shovel."

"Don't you have a plan?" Ye Sanniang asked with raised eyebrows and looked at them.

"It still needs to be planned? The water flows downhill, as long as our land can be watered, it will be fine!" Lian Lichang looked at her with a smile and said, "It's all flat, easy to clean, This silt can also be used to fertilize the land, killing two birds with one stone. When the water gates are opened in a few days, we will water the wheat fields.”

"As long as there are people watching day and night." The company commander said again with a smile.

"Do you still want to watch at night?" Ye Sanniang poked the brim of her hat with her index finger.

"Of course, when the water flows over, it's easy to wash away the soil on both sides of the canal and block it, so someone has to watch and use a shovel to shovel it." The shovel in the company commander's hand poked into the canal, " Of course, it’s okay not to keep watch at night, it’s just that the water overflows.” He smiled and said, “This canal is not big, and it’s okay if it overflows. more important."

"There's no overall planning, it's based on experience." Ye Sanniang pouted and nodded when she heard the words, "Is that smooth?"

"Fucking?" The company commander blinked at her and said, "What is that?"

Ye Sanniang pursed her lips for a while, looked at him and said, "Didn't the engineering department of the yamen guide you when you were building the official road? The road surface is smooth, and the drainage is smooth after it rains, and there will be no water accumulation in the low-lying areas like before."

"Ah!" The head of the company suddenly realized when he heard the words, "What are you talking about? I know, Mr. Jin from the engineering department has something that we don't know, let us dig what we should dig." Stupid He laughed and said, "Anyway, we don't understand, so we can do whatever they ask us to do!"

Ye Sanniang stroked her forehead lightly and said, "After the operation is leveled, it will be easier and less laborious to dig the canal."

"Our land is flat, so we need to level it! It's about digging two more shovels." The company commander said relaxedly, "I have plenty of strength."

"This canal is not only for irrigation, but also for drainage during heavy rains. It works in both directions." Ye Sanniang put down her hands and looked at him with calm eyes.

"Uh..." Lian Yougen said, "We don't know how to do this!"

"Can you ask Yamen Engineering to help us?" Ye Sanniang said simply and relaxedly.

"Master Jin please?" The company commander looked at her in astonishment, then shook his head and said, "Let's invite someone, that's the master."

"This is his duty! He should be invited." Ye Sanniang looked at them slightly with Liu Mei and said.

"We don't dare. We can't speak after meeting Mr. Jin, so how dare we invite him!" The company commander said without exaggeration, "Scared me to death!"

"Then what if I can get even?" Ye Sanniang said, staring at them.

"Ah!" The company commander looked at her dumbfounded, so she was waiting here! "What does Mrs. Ye want to do?"

"I want to do it once and for all, I want to make an overall plan, I want to reduce everyone's strength, I want to get twice the result with half the effort!" Ye Sanniang said, looking at them with her eyes rolling.

Lian Lian pursed his lips tightly and looked at her without blinking, "Is it troublesome? Do you want to dig again?"

"It's hard to say, but I will adjust it on the basis of the original canal, make it as reasonable as possible, and save time and effort." Ye Sanniang looked at him with deep black eyes and said.

"How do you make us believe you?" The company commander looked at her with some embarrassment and said, "Empty talk is not enough, just like this saline-alkali land, you have to convince us."

Ye Sanniang smiled slightly when she heard the words, "I will convince you."

"How do you explain this?" Lian Yougen looked at her in a daze and asked.

"You will know soon." Ye Sanniang looked at them with deep and bright eyes and said, "Okay, get busy! I have to make preparations."

"Ready?" The company chief looked at her in surprise and said.

"If you don't prepare for a while, how can I convince you?" Ye Sanniang looked at them gently and said, then looked at Gao Mancang and said, "You don't have to follow me."
