The small mountain village is also surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery.
?From a distance, there is a peaceful beauty, the only fly in the ointment is the cropland, because of the drought, the cropland looks like it has entered autumn early.
Close to the village, except for the occasional dog barking, the village is very quiet.
However, torches were lit in the crop fields outside the village, and people were bustling with people, and they didn't know what they were talking about when they gathered together.
"Your Highness, wait for me to report again!"
Zhao Si glanced at Zhou Heng and said.
"No need, let's just go there directly!" Zhou Heng waved his hand and said to Zhao Sishu who was leading the way, and followed Zhao Si over.
Close to the past.
"Dig this canal for me, and it must be dug through before dawn tomorrow!" One person commanded the crowd and ordered everyone to dig the canal overnight.
"My lord, even if we dig through, we can't bring the water here!"
Someone said helplessly.
Their current position is higher than that of the river, even if the canal is dug through, it will be useless. If the water does not come up, their canal will be wasted.
"Get water with a bucket!"
An Xu said seriously.
"Use a bucket to fetch water?" After hearing An Xu's words, someone said in a disappointed and frustrated tone, "Use a bucket to fetch water, wouldn't it be the year of the monkey?"
"It's better to save life a little, than to starve without food." An Xu said seriously and seriously.
"My lord, it's easy for you to say. Even if we pump water for a day, we still can't fill this canal. I think it's better to forget it." Some people think that An Xu's method is useless at all, and it is just a waste of effort.
"Shut up, my lord came here to help us in person, it's fine if you don't say thank you, but you are still complaining here, I think you want to be beaten."
Hearing the young man complaining, an old man immediately stood up from the crowd and snarled angrily.
"Village Chief, that's not what I meant. I think we still have to face the reality." The young man still said with a reluctant expression on his face.
He is grateful to An Xu, but he has worked hard but is not rewarded, so why work hard.
Instead of working hard here in vain, they might as well find another way.
"you"
Just as the old man was about to continue cursing, An Xu stopped him.
"You don't have to be angry, village chief." An Xu stopped the village chief from getting angry, and looked at the complaining young man in front of him, "Then what do you think we should do?"
An Xu asked.
Since you said that your method of digging canals and fetching water with buckets is inappropriate, you have come up with a more suitable method.
"I do not know what to do."
The young man shrugged. He really had no choice. If there was a way, he could still dig aqueducts here.
"If you have no choice, just work honestly for me, and your family can get more food in autumn." The village chief said in a serious tone.
In the current situation, they must work together to get through it, instead of shaking the morale of the army and complaining here.
"We can go to Chibi City."
The young man seemed to have thought of something suddenly.
"Red Cliff City?"
Everyone was stunned, and they all looked at the young man in front of them, wanting to know what it meant.
"Look for the grain from Tian's family. The next year will be better, and we will return it!" The young man thought of a way, they can borrow grain to tide over the current difficulties.
"No."
An Xu was the first to stand up and object.
"Why?" The young man looked at An Xu, not understanding why An Xu rejected his proposal.
"Do you know what is going on in Chibi City now? The Tian family cheated the people. You borrowed a catty of grain from the Tian family. Next year you may have to pay back ten catties of grain. Do you think you can afford it?"
An Xu's eyes were serious and serious, as if she wasn't joking.
"It's not so mysterious. If it was like that, wouldn't the Tian family have been punished by the court long ago." The young man said with some disapproval.
? According to An Xu's words, the Tian family is doing harm to nature and defrauding the people. Could it be that the court can sit idly by.
"How dare you talk back!"
When the village chief heard the young man's refutation of An Xu's words, he immediately reprimanded him angrily.
"As a man, with hands and feet, why should you borrow food from others to fill your stomach with a seven-foot body? Can't you do it yourself and have enough food and clothing?? "
An Xu asked.
Although it is said that they have encountered a drought here, everyone's hard work is not the result of a lack of harvest. At least there is still enough food to fill their stomachs.
"But"
The young man still disagreed with An Xu's words.
"That's right."
At this moment, a voice came from behind the crowd.
Everyone was startled, turned around and looked together, and saw Zhou Heng and others, strangers? There was surprise in everyone's eyes.
Zhou Heng looked at An Xu and clapped his hands, "That's right, as a man, how can you reach out and beg, it's better to do it yourself than anything else." Zhou Heng agreed with An Xu's words.
"who are you?"
The young man looked at Zhou Heng and asked, he was arguing with An Xu, and suddenly a person he didn't know stood up to support An Xu. So have no fear.
"My name is Zhou Heng, and I am an official of the Great Zhou just like Mr. An."
Zhou Heng replied with a smile.
Zhou Heng?
The young people obviously have never heard of Zhou Heng's name. They are ordinary people, and where did they know the prince, even if they knew that the prince was called Zhou Heng, they would not believe that the prince would come to their small place.
And An Xu, as an official, realized that something was wrong.
An Xu looked at Zhao Si who was beside Zhou Heng.
Zhao Si gestured with his eyes and nodded slowly, as if telling An Xu Zhou Heng's identity.
"Zhou Heng? Didn't listen"
"shut up!"
This time, An Xu scolded angrily, and An Xu, who had always been friendly, seemed to be a different person at this time. After angrily scolded, An Xu rushed to Zhou Heng in a hurry.
"I don't know it's His Royal Highness, please forgive me for the collision!"
An Xu knelt down in front of Zhou Heng.
"Prince?" The young man yelled in shock. He didn't expect the person in front of him to be the prince. His legs gave way and he collapsed on the ground.
The young man looked at An Xu with gratitude in his eyes. If An Xu hadn't interrupted him, he would have committed the crime of beheading at this time.
"Congratulations, Prince!"
Others also slowly came to their senses, and immediately knelt down on the ground to pay respects to Zhou Heng.
"Master An, please stand up, everyone please stand up!" Zhou Heng smiled and helped An Xu up, and then let everyone stand up.
"Your Highness, why are you here? Zhao Si? Since His Highness is here, why didn't you notify me so that I can meet His Highness." An Xu said a little angrily.
This is Zhou Heng. As an official, he must greet him as soon as possible, otherwise he will be neglecting the prince.
"Don't blame him."
Before Zhao Si could answer, Zhou Heng had already asked Zhao Si to explain.
"I didn't ask him to tell you about this matter, I just came to see it myself." Zhou Heng explained the matter to An Xu. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
