Chapter 332
At this moment, after hearing Yun Xiu's familiar voice, Ruan Mian immediately realized that he was drunk.
Because I was thinking of Ah Huai, I accidentally mistook Yun Xiu for him.
But the outline in the rain just now was indeed very similar.
She pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly: "Yun Xiu, you drank quite a lot just now, didn't you?"
Yun Xiu shook his head and helped her walk towards the house, explaining gently as they walked, "I didn't drink much just now. I'll take you home."
"Yes, thank you."
Ruan Mian restrained his expression and tried to sober himself up, but Xie Huaian's figure kept appearing in his mind.
It didn't stop until he got to the bed.
Yun Xiu lit a candle for her, tucked in the quilt, and closed all the windows, leaving only a few small holes for ventilation.
The kang is still hot.
Looking at Ruan Mian who had closed her eyes, Yun Xiu couldn't help but speak.
"Sister Mianmian, there are some strange things about the master's death. I was once favored by the master, which is why I am in this situation today. So I can't just sit back and watch. I can't let the master's death be in vain."
"One day, I will seek justice for you! And for you too!"
He swore to himself, then slowly left the house and closed the door for her.
Ruan Mian waited until there was no sound outside before opening her eyes. She recalled Yun Xiu's words and fell into deep thought.
The next day.
She had a headache and should have gone to the freight operation department to check the job roster. Cuizhu saw that she was not in good condition and volunteered.
"Miss, I'll go and get the roster for you. It'll be the same if you look at it at home."
Ruan Mian thought it was not a big deal, so he asked Cuizhu to do it for him.
It was already afternoon when Cuizhu got the book back.
Cuizhu gave her the booklet and talked a lot about freight transportation. She mentioned a man named Liu Shu and said a few more words.
"Miss, this Liu Shu is a new hire for the freight company. He's said to be a refugee from the south. I saw him unloading several carts of goods by himself. Li Si also said that he is hardworking and a very good person. I'm afraid we have hired a treasure."
Ruan Mian's gaze fell on Liu Shu on the roster. After thinking about it carefully, he still couldn't figure it out.
She just felt a slight headache, so she picked up the medicine her father had prepared for her and drank it.
Cuizhu then told her, "But there's something Li Si asked me to tell you. It's been raining a lot lately, and the carriages that are transporting goods have had a lot of accidents."
"The roads were especially muddy, and many wheels got stuck in the mud. This not only delayed the delivery of goods, but also scrapped several carriages."
Ruan Mian glanced out the window again at the rain that was still falling, and thought carefully about it. The rain had been going on for months.
There was no rest every day.
Even Lord Lin sent someone to tell her that there was a lot of water accumulated in the drainage ditch of the planting area.
In the past, we were worried that the soil would be too dry and there would not be enough water for the wheat seedlings, so we built water trucks and dug many canals.
However, now the weather is not good and the situation is going against them.
If the rain continued, she would have to think of more ways to deal with it.
She asked Cuizhu to bring her paper and pen, and imitated the appearance of the sled at home before she traveled through time, made improvements to the carriage, and drew a picture of an improved carriage based on the sled board.
Using this board instead of wheels is more suitable for traveling on muddy roads.
Not only is it fast, but it is also not easy to get stuck in the mud and delay things.
If the road is easy to walk on and there is no mud or water, you can manually switch to wheels and continue on your way.
After she finished the painting, she specially called Ruan Jinxiu over and talked to him about it in detail.
With Ruan Jinxiu's hands-on ability, the carriage with skids was immediately improved.
The next day, he called Li Si over and taught him how to change the wheel on the spot. He also asked Ruan Jinxiu to make a lot more boards.
Li Si went up and tried it, and sure enough, it was much smoother when crossing the muddy road!
"Madam Ruan, you really have a solution. Our cargo transportation problem has been solved! But the rain has been too heavy, so fewer people are coming to us to transport cargo."
"And I'm also worried. If the rain doesn't stop, it might affect our food supply. What will we do if the harvest is poor next year?"
"In previous years, I've never heard of Wuheng raining for so long after the beginning of spring, and it rained so heavily."
This is exactly what Ruan Mian is worried about.
I had thought that everything would be fine after the rainy season, but it has been raining for such a long time, which is a bit beyond my expectations.
Whether it is wheat, other fruits and vegetables, or even medicinal herbs, they cannot withstand waterlogging.
However, the solution could not be found so quickly. She might need to discuss it with Lord Lin and ask her father and brother what they thought.
But before that, there were some problems with their granary.
The next day, Xi and her family discovered that some of the stored grain in their granary had become moldy.
There is quite a bit of moldy area.
She told Ruan Mian as soon as possible.
Their own granary is built in a cellar, so this kind of situation generally doesn't happen easily.
Some time ago, Lord Lin thought that the spring wheat would be harvested soon, so a new granary had to be built in the near future.
If we follow the usual method of building warehouses, problems will arise in grain storage sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Ruan Mian immediately went to find Lord Lin to discuss the granary issue.
"Master Lin, why don't we first lay five-foot-high taro straw in the granary, then lay rakes made of straw on top of the straw, and then cover the rakes with straw mats to achieve a moisture-proof effect."
"As for this granary, just in case, we need to lay a layer of tiles on the floor and build brick walls. This way, the conditions for storing grain will be better. We can cope with various situations. What do you think, sir?"
Lord Lin stroked his beard and agreed with her opinion very much.
"This granary needs to be built as soon as possible, Madam Ruan. Your guys have a lot of experience with floor tiles. I see they're not busy these days, so why not hire them to help?"
Ruan Mian agreed without hesitation because she had the same idea.
With their help, the construction period of the granary will definitely be greatly shortened.
After she returned, she stopped by the freight station to ask for everyone's opinions. If they were willing, they could go, but if they were not willing, she would not force them.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, a group of people immediately agreed.
"If Madam Ruan needs us, we will naturally follow you! Right, brothers?" Thinking back to when the freight line was first established, Ruan Mian not only provided them with food and drink, but also paid them a salary that they could not earn in Kyoto.
Now, after so many years, every household is living a better life than before.
The cargo transportation is not busy now, and building a granary will benefit everyone. Anyone who is free will volunteer.
Within a day, Ruan Mian had found a helper for Lord Lin.
