He spoke slowly and methodically.
It seemed to have no attack power, but it managed to break down the psychological defenses of the kneeling assassin bit by bit.
He has relatives there.
There was also a silly girl who was waiting for him to return safely and then marry him. She was standing on the edge of the Shimen Cliff, waiting for him to come back.
"What... do you want to know?"
Xiao Yuqi spoke word by word: "The defense map of Maoer Mountain!"
His face turned pale.
Close your eyes in despair.
"The criminals... don't know!"
What he said was not false.
...
...
The lord is an extremely cautious and meticulous person.
Apart from him, no one could fully understand the entire defense of Maoer Mountain.
As soon as these words came out, he anticipated his own death!
Sure enough, Xiao Yuqi uttered the words calmly.
"Kill the useless ones!"
The assassin's hand stroked the cuffs where Ah Tao had embroidered the word "peace" stitch by stitch.
Finally, tears fell.
Xiao Yuqi walked out of the room.
Looking up, what comes into view is the deep blue sky.
The sky is cloudless, without a trace of moisture.
There was no sign of rain.
Suddenly, Xiao Yuqi strode back to the room.
I reminded you again and again that no one should disturb me.
Went to Su Jianyue's bedroom again.
She should cook downstairs.
Xiao Yuqi picked up his mobile phone, sat on the sofa, and carefully followed the steps taught by Su Jianyue, opened the black software, and pressed the search box.
A thing called 'keyboard' popped up below.
Xiao Yuqi found the space bar with the microphone and pressed it down.
——Ancient methods of controlling drought.
Xiao Yuqi said this slowly.
A lot of entries popped up on the mobile page.
He could hardly recognize the words on it.
Just click on one at random and a series of videos will appear.
Xiao Yuqi listened to the person on the phone explaining the answer to this question.
The brain is racing.
Useless language and inapplicable methods are automatically deleted.
Finally, several points were summarized.
For example, building reservoirs can help cope with long-term droughts.
Alternatively, artificially digging a canal connecting the north and the south could effectively even out floods in the south and droughts in the north.
He had thought of all these methods.
However, for the North now.
The severe drought has already occurred, and digging reservoirs now is completely useless.
Secondly, building a canal is not something that can be completed overnight.
The people in the north can't wait any longer.
That being the case.
Xiao Yuqi grasped a key word.
groundwater?
Dig canals and wells!
After learning in detail what groundwater is, how could Xiao Yuqi sit still?
He immediately returned to his room and started drawing a simple structural diagram.
Su Jianyue prepared the meal and went upstairs to call for help.
The room was empty, without a single person in sight.
The black cell phone was casually thrown on the sofa.
Su Jianyue reached out to take it and found that the phone was still hot.
Is this... just left?
She turned on the screen, the certain audio software was still open, and a series of videos about digging canals and wells appeared on the screen.
Su Jianyue roughly understood Xiao Yuqi's thoughts.
She went downstairs silently, took out most of the bone soup she had just stewed, put it into a thermos bucket, and left it for Xiao Yuqi.
After finishing the meal, they did not sit idle and continued to move supplies.
Xiao Yuqi didn't even have time to eat, he quickly gathered a group of local skilled craftsmen.
They immediately began to discuss the plan of digging a deeper well.
This is not an easy thing for them.
No one is sure whether they can really dig out the so-called groundwater.
But, where there is a lot of money, there must be brave men.
What's more, Xiao Yuqi also issued an imperial decree.
Those who successfully dug out groundwater would not only be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, but also be awarded an official position, transcending class and receiving a salary from the court.
As soon as these words came out.
The number of people who signed up to participate in the canal digging project was like a flood of carp crossing the river.
Xiao Yuqi took the opportunity to launch a new order.
Ten days later, a talent test will be held in the government office of Jing County.
This exam is a written test, and the questions are set by Xiao Yuqi himself.
Those who take the exam and successfully register will receive two kilograms of food and a bottle of water.
The top three in the exam will be appointed as officials by Xiao Yuqi himself, in charge of the local water and land and the local people.
They had never heard of this way of promoting officials before.
For a time, the news about the exam and the well digging spread rapidly at a lightning speed.
Bright yellow notices were posted all over the surrounding towns and villages.
Those who are slightly literate but not appreciated by their families are eager to try.
There were also some people who were illiterate but very courageous and set out on the journey to Jing County to register.
Zhan Zixing stood at the vegetable market entrance of Guangling County, looking at the bright yellow notice with tears in his eyes.
He immediately returned home, packed his bags, and prepared to go to Jing County to take the exam.
On that day, the words "I was born to be useful" said by the gentleman whom he had only met once gave him great courage.
His wife, who had always been sarcastic about him, saw his actions and, for the first time in her life, did not blame him.
Instead, he took out most of the money and food supplies in his home and handed them to Zhan Zixing with tears in his eyes.
Zhan Zixing was stunned at first, then he declined.
"You don't need to give me these money and food. I'm alone outside and I don't need them."
"As the saying goes, a poor family makes a rich journey. You should bring some money with you when you are alone outside, just in case."
Liu packed his luggage for him.
"I've been married to you for so many years, and I know that I have a bad temper and have made you angry a lot. But you should know that I have no bad intentions. I just hope that you can stand on your own feet and run this family with me."
Anyone who marries a man who can't carry anything would probably feel resentful.
She is responsible for everything at home and outside. She has to respect her mother-in-law and take care of her husband, but she is also a very strong person.
She can't stand others laughing at her.
Over time, he began to vent all his complaints on Zhan Zixing.
"Just go out with peace of mind. I'll take care of everything at home. You don't need to worry. His Majesty is a wise ruler who knows the sufferings of the people. It's our good fortune that we can meet this kind of person. If you can pass the exam, we will all be happy. If you can't, don't force it. Just come back with peace of mind. No matter how hard it is, as long as we work hard together, why should we be afraid of starving to death on the streets?"
Your Majesty came and punished those corrupt officials.
They were also exempted from taxes for two years.
Guangling County is not like the northern border.
Although there is little rain, there is still some rain.
The common people have some way to survive.
These days, she figured it out.
It is not a good thing for a couple to quarrel day and night.
It is better to learn to adapt to each other and live a good life.
Since Zhan Xingxing doesn't know how to farm, then he doesn't do that. She plans to go to the provincial capital and set up a wonton stall with Zhan Xingxing. Even if it's a bit hard, it's still a way to make a living.
I didn't expect His Majesty would suddenly issue such a notice.
When Liu said she was unhappy, that was a lie.
Although Zhan Xingxing is not as good as other men in terms of physical strength, he is good at studying.
In this area, there are probably not two people who can compare to Zhan Zixing.
Isn't this an opportunity given by God to Zhan Zixing?
Once a person figures things out, he or she will become visibly clearer.
Zhan Xingxing was so moved by Liu's words that his eyes welled up with tears. He grabbed Liu's hand...
