Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 210 The storm is coming

Qing Wu obediently flew out of the city wall, Xu Xiaomi watched its figure disappear into the boundless snow before turning back to her room.

In this cold winter, Xu Xiaomi knew that if he didn't get the exact information from the other party, he must not take any action, so as not to startle the snake!

Xu Xiaomi plans to make a good plan for the next few days, and things will happen in peacetime.

This Dingzhou city is deserted for hundreds of miles, and the land here is very fertile, but there is a lack of water.

She saw that it was snowing heavily here. If you shovel the snow together to make an open space, dig a big pond, and turn the snow into the pond, the next year the snow will melt, isn’t it just water? ?

After thinking about it, Xu Xiaomi went to Qiu Yongzheng to discuss it.

After hearing Xu Xiaomi's idea, Qiu Yongzheng agreed very much, so he did what he said.

Qiu Yongzheng said to the soldiers that afternoon: "From now on, every morning, everyone will collectively bring tools and dig a pond one mile outside the city. After digging, we can store water and solve the problem of water sources for growing grain in the coming year."

After hearing this, the soldiers said happily, "This is a good idea, and you don't have to worry about it then!"

Xu Xiaomi has seen it. There is a river five miles outside Dingzhou City.The drinking water in this city is picked from there.It would be nice if we could bring in the water from there.

Now, we can only let them dig for the time being. When the digging is almost done, we can see if we can build a canal around the city. There are many fertile fields around here!It's just that there has been no water source for many years and it has been desertified.

At that time, farming and irrigation will be necessary, and I will ask my grandfather to build a few waterwheels, which will be useful at that time.

Xu Xiaomi has to go back to get some funds and tung oil. When the time comes, grandpa has finished the waterwheel so that it can be preserved.

However, I don't know when Qing Wu will come back, alas!wait!In case Qing Wu can't find herself when she comes back.

These two days, focus on making Xiaoxiang better!Now Xiaoxiang can fly a few miles, but it will take some time to return to her human form.

Time flies by quickly, in a blink of an eye, it has been the fourth day since Qing Wu went, and I don't know if it can come back today?

Xu Xiaomi watched anxiously while the soldiers were digging ponds with hoes and shovels.

How powerful this man is!Today, the pond has only been dug for four and a half days, and it took only two days to add up. It has already been dug to a square of two acres.

What made Xu Xiaomi even more happy was that limestone was dug out from under the sandy soil. Judging from this, how much limestone would have to be dug out after the pond was dug?
Now, in Dingzhou, it is also possible to build a few lime kilns, and burn a few kilns of lime and red bricks to build houses.

With bricks, it is possible to build canals. At least there will be no need for many people to lift big stones one by one, which can save a lot of labor. The big deal is to use more yellow mud.

When the water source is solved, this piece of land outside Dingzhou City can be improved and turned into a paddy field. In addition to growing wheat, rice can also be grown every year.

At that time, outside Dingzhou City, there will be green wheat seedlings in spring and golden rice in autumn. Looking at the pieces of yellow rice rolling in the wind, the scenery is so beautiful!
If you can plant some rapeseed, then when the rapeseed blooms in spring, the green and yellow scenery will be even more beautiful.

Coupled with the looming rolling hills in the distance, the spring scenery in Mobei can be compared with the beauty of West Lake.At that time, I don't know how good the mood is!

Didn't he really turn the legendary desolate Northwest into a rich Jiangnan?
Looking at the white snow, Xu Xiaomi was looking forward to the outside of Dingzhou City a few years later.

At this time, a black shadow flashed in front of him, and Qing Wu stopped on Xu Xiaomi's shoulder.

Xu Xiaomi hurriedly caught it, but he couldn't let it ruin his fox fur.

She put Qing Wu in her hand and asked, "Are they all okay?"

Qing Wu looked at her, and felt that her master was too vigilant now, so she started asking questions in a place with so many people.However, I can't say it directly.

Qing Wu thought for a while and said, "Master! Let's go back and talk!"

Xu Xiaomi looked at it, then looked at the soldiers of the Qiu Family Army who were digging the pond, and said with a smile, "It's okay, let's go! Let's go back!"

Xu Xiaomi took Qing Wu to a quiet place in a hurry, and Qing Wu said: "Master! The latest news from the capital..."

Qing Wu chirped and quacked.It turned out that after Xu Xiaomi and the others moved to Dingzhou, the emperor sent the Imperial Forest Army to Jinquan County. Those people went there but did not find Qiu Yongzheng and the others, so they set her on fire at the Jiaoxiang hot pot restaurant in Jinquan County.

Burned down the fabric workshop in Qinglong Town, put Yu Zhimo's family and Jin Yulian in prison, sealed their shop, and ransacked their home.

The entire village of Xujia Village was taken into prison. Although the massacre of the village was not ordered, all the houses were burned down.

The Royal Forest Army thought they were hiding in the mountains, and went into the mountains to search for a few days without any results. In anger, they arrested the entire Qinglong Town.

When there was no place to close, the villagers of Xujia Village were driven to Caishikou in Qinglong Town and all of them were killed.

Blood flowed like rivers and screamed again and again. None of the more than 800 people in Xujia Village was spared.

When Qing Wu came back, she went to Xujia Village to see it, and there was only a piece of ashes left there.

Now, the Great Zhou Dynasty no longer has the place of Xujia Village.Qinglong Town is a prison on earth.

There are seals on the doors of every house.Not a single person walked on the street.All of them were armed with red-tasseled spears and armed with swords at their waists, in teams of twenty, appearing every quarter of an hour.The gates of the city are only allowed in and not out.

The commander of the Yulin Army also threatened that if Qiu Yongzheng did not show up, they would attack Qinglong Town, Tuzhen!
In the capital, in the imperial palace, the noble concubine Qiu Gui was thrown into the cold palace by the emperor and stripped of her concubine position.

Except for the three generations of Qiu's father and son, the rest of the ministers were supposed to be on sick leave and let their families take them back.

For the three generations of Qiu's father and son, the emperor said that they killed the most and committed serious crimes, and they still had to continue to chant scriptures in the ancestral temple.

Mrs. Qiu is seriously ill, and Mrs. Qiu is unconscious now.Qiu Yongzheng's life and death were unknown, and the entire General's Mansion was plunged into grief.

After Xu Xiaomi heard this, her lips trembled, her teeth were clenched, her hands were clenched into fists, her nails were neatly trimmed, and she didn't notice that blood was already oozing.

All she wants to do now is kill.That's right, she has no other thoughts now except to kill that person with her own hands and avenge nearly a thousand innocent lives in Xujia Village.

Let's shed tears later when you have time!Now, the most important thing is to discuss with Qiu Yongzheng, what should we do next?
According to her own thoughts, she wanted to rush into the palace right now and catch that dog emperor.

But think, just think!Things have to be done step by step, because Qiu Yongzheng's grandfather, father and brother are still dragging by that person's hand!
Xu Xiaomi took Qing Wu back to the place where the pond was dug.The soldiers were braving the severe cold wind and the heavy snow, flying hoes and shovels and working in full swing.

Some have already taken off the military uniforms they were wearing outside, and they are bare-shouldered and wielding hoes, digging the soil vigorously.

Xu Xiaomi walked up to Qiu Yongzheng and watched him shoveling soil with a shovel in the heavy snow.As soon as he turned his head, he saw the girl he liked looking at him affectionately.

Feeling hot, he raised his head to look at her and said with a smile, "Mimei, you're not staying in the city, what are you doing when it's snowing so much? It's cold outside!"

Xu Xiaomi was moved to tears when he heard his words of concern.This pure and honest man will be the one who will accompany him in this world.

He is so simple, but with a gorgeous appearance in the simplicity.He is handsome and brave, but he is constrained by the red tape of the world.

Is he the one who is destined to dig out his treasure from the deep soil and make him shine in this world?
Xu Xiaomi had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but more importantly, she wanted to let him know immediately the current situation of the Qiu family in the capital.

She looked at the endless snowflakes fluttering in the wind, and let her tears recede slowly.

Seeing her like this, Qiu Yongzheng felt something was wrong, put down the shovel in his hand, walked to her side, put his arms around her arm and looked at her little red face from the cold.

"Mimei, what's the matter with you? Do you have anything on your mind to tell me?"

When Xu Xiaomi heard him ask so softly, and the things that Qing Wu said just now, the pain welled up in her heart. She buried her head in Qiu Yongzheng's arms, and the tears could no longer be held back, gushing like spring water. out.

Qiu Yongzheng saw that she just buried her head in tears and said nothing, and said helplessly in her heart: "Mimei! Okay, don't cry! It's so windy and snowy outside, don't get cold, go! I'll go back with you!"

Xu Xiaomi was hugged firmly by him, and walked slowly towards Dingzhou City.

After entering the city, the wind and snow became lighter, Xu Xiaomi had cried enough, and broke free from Qiu Yongzheng's arms.

Qiu Yongzheng stretched out his warm and dry hands to help her wipe away the crystal tears on her face.

Xu Xiaomi took a deep breath to try to calm down her mood so that she could speak clearly about the whole thing.

Qiu Yongzheng still hugged her tenderly and walked towards the yard where she lived.After Xu Xiaomi adjusted her mood, she said, "Brother Qiu! Now, the situation in the capital is not good for the Qiu family!
The elder sister was stripped of her imperial concubine status and sent to the cold palace. Grandpa, father and two elder brothers are still in the ancestral temple.

Also, Xujia Village is now in ruins... the villagers of Xujia Village... all, all... have become... dead souls on Huangquan Road..."
