Chapter 231 Solving the Flood Problem
They dug the canal every day. When they were thirsty, someone would bring them water. When they were hungry, they could eat. After eating, they would rest for a while and then continue digging.
They felt that this kind of life was much more comfortable than their previous life.
Even Xia Xuan and his men followed them to dig the canal, and won praise from the people. They looked at Xia Xuan without any disdain for them.
When I worked with them, the distance between them was immediately shortened.
Xia Xuan's reputation continued to spread among everyone.
The new county magistrate arrived in Zhiyu County almost a month later, and immediately came to see Xia Xuan upon his arrival.
When he saw Xia Xuan digging a canal with the victims, he was shocked. Was this the emperor he had seen before?
"Your Majesty, I am late, please forgive me!"
Xia Xuan turned around and saw the new county magistrate and said.
"It's okay. Since you're already here, come down and help us dig the canal. One more person means one less day to complete it."
The disaster victims nearby were all staring at him. He responded, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to go in and start digging the river.
But Xia Xuan stopped him, "Don't wear this. Change into some work clothes. Can you work in this clothes?"
The new county magistrate did as he was told. He hurried to the county magistrate's mansion to change his clothes, then hurried over and joined their team.
When he didn't know what to do at first, the victims taught him, and gradually he learned how to do it and integrated into their group.
At first, he was very afraid of Xia Xuan, but later he became someone he could talk and laugh with easily.
He had never thought that the emperor had such a side to him.
A day of digging the canal was over. Xia Xuan ate here with the victims. He didn't look down on them at all. He chatted with them while eating.
It was as if they were all one, which made Xu Jing, who had just arrived, smack his lips.
After eating, we went back and took Xia Yun and the others back.
Every time they were covered in mud, they would take a shower as soon as they got back and come out dry.
It was at this time that Xu Jing spoke in front of Xia Xuan.
"Your Majesty, I, Xu Jing, have been ordered to come to Zhiyu County to serve as the county magistrate."
"I know, get up."
Xu Jing sat on the chair and Xia Xuan kept waiting.
"You can see that what we dug today is a river channel. It will lead directly to the flood area. This way, the flood can be diverted directly, and the flood problem will be solved."
Xu Jing had never heard of this method before and said with wide eyes.
"This is a good idea. After all, the Emperor has to come."
Xia Xuan waved his hands. He had heard this kind of flattery many times. "This is not something I came up with. It was my daughter who came up with it."
Ever since Xia Xuan came out, I have become accustomed to not using the word "Zhen" anymore. I always say "I", which makes people feel more down-to-earth.
"As expected of a princess!!"
Xu Jing understands the ways of the world, and he flatters people like crazy as if it’s free.
Xia Xuan shook his head helplessly and said.
"Our river channel has almost been dug. It will be finished tomorrow and the problem will be solved then. We still need to see if this method works. If not, we will have to think of another way."
In fact, Xia Xuan didn’t know whether this method would work. They had been digging the river for almost two months, and how much manpower was involved.
It was also thanks to the people who came in to help them, otherwise it would have taken a longer time.
By then, no one knows how many villages will be destroyed.
Xu Jing did not take a rest either. He went out early the next morning with Xia Xuan and the others and continued digging with them. By almost noon, they had reached the edge of the flood.
Shen Qingluan and Zhou Zi'an came out to take a look, and found that it could indeed be dug up.
Let them all come out, and then dig up the soil on both sides of the shore. The flood was very strong, and this layer of soil was directly washed in.
Suddenly, a huge flood poured down and filled the river in a short while.
The four rivers of Xia Yun, Xia Yu, Xia Wei and Xia Yi also began to diverge.
The flood began to shrink visibly, and finally merged into the river. The villages on the shore gradually appeared before our eyes.
This method really worked, they cheered and shouted continuously.
"Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!!"
They were all very excited. They picked up Xia Xuan, threw him into the air and caught him. They threw him into the air and caught him.
When Xu Jing saw it, he wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Xia Yun.
Xia Xuan felt that this emotion was very strange. He did not expect that being trusted by the people would make him feel so proud.
The flood slowly receded, and scenes of some villages could be seen in the distance. Now that the flood had receded, they could go back.
When they returned to their home, the things inside had already been flooded and could no longer be used. Seeing this scene, Xia Xuan and the others felt a little sad.
They didn't have much savings to begin with, and after what happened, they probably didn't even have the ability to rebuild their house.
Xia Qingqing looked at so many people and had an idea in her mind, so she told Xia Xuan.
"Dad, why don't we get someone to come and build a house for them, so that their lives will be better in the future."
Xia Xuan thought this method was good. After Xia Qingqing's efforts over the years, Longxia Kingdom has become a powerful country, or at least a very wealthy country.
When people from other countries want to attack them, they should think carefully about whether to say it or not. If they allocate money from the national treasury to build houses for them, it would still be okay.
"can."
"Then let Xia Zhao have someone transfer some money over."
Xia Qingqing shook her head and said, "Don't bother with that. Just use my money. Dad, you may have forgotten that your daughter is a rich person, right?"
Xia Xuan was amused by Xia Qingqing's words and said.
"Then we are all Daddy's people. How can I let you pay?"
Xia Qingqing was not convinced and said.
"If that's the case, then this is still the fief you gave me. Why can't I pay for it?"
Xia Xuan didn't expect this to happen. He couldn't convince Xia Qingqing, so in the end he let Xia Qingqing pay.
Ask someone to gather the refugees over. There were crowds of people in front of us. Xia Qingqing stood on a rock and said.
"Everyone, listen to me, I know it's sad that your home has become like this, but I can help you rebuild your home.
Calculate how much money you still need to build the house, and I will pay for it!"
