For some reason, Xiao Jinze added his concern at the end, then sealed the letter and asked Ying to deliver it to Song Sanniang.
Finally, he pretended to be indifferent and asked Ying to carefully observe Song Sanniang's reaction and words after receiving the letter, and then come back to tell her.
After sending the letter, Song Sanniang began to recruit laborers.
As long as you join in building the dam, you will be provided with food but not accommodation, and the daily wage is 100 wen per person.
They are required to be hard-working, down-to-earth and capable. Once anyone is found to be cheating or cunning, they will be severely punished.
As soon as the news came out, not only men signed up, but even many middle-aged women wanted to participate in the dam construction.
But building a dam is hard work, and Song Sanniang felt a little sad.
In the end, they were still asked to do some lighter work, but the wages would be much less than those of men.
Because of the intervention of the imperial court, the drought in the south could not be solved by human power, but the people who suffered from the disaster survived despite their hard life.
Even those who were more diligent and had men at home had saved some money.
As long as the drought is over, they will have the capital to start over.
However, things turned out just as Song Sanniang had expected. With a heavy rain, the drought that had plagued the south for a long time ended.
However, after a few days of joy, the people in the south suddenly discovered that the rain was getting heavier and there was no sign of stopping.
It was just that Song Sanniang had given the people a heads-up in advance, so they were mentally prepared and not too panicked.
The dam they built with their own hard work now gives them an unparalleled sense of security.
After the rain started to flood the area, the people went to the shelters built by the government in accordance with the notice issued by the officers and soldiers.
The heavy rain lasted for a month, but because Song Sanniang had made adequate preparations, few people died in the floods.
Then it gradually becomes smaller and finally stops.
As the floodwaters receded, the people stood in the muddy dirt and looked up at the golden sunlight splashing across the sky.
The disaster was finally over, and they could soon resume their lives.
When Song Sanniang and her soldiers left, almost all the people came to see them off, and gradually walked away amid their shouts.
…
Song Sanniang stood on the city wall of Tongguan and looked at the scenery outside the Great Wall.
Suddenly, an arm stretched out and put a piece of clothing on her.
"I've already told you, the wind outside the Great Wall is cold, take care of yourself. Do you still think you're a teenager?"
Song Sanniang looked at the nagging Xiao Jinze and felt helpless.
She just finished her inspection and saw that the scenery up there was nice, so she stood there for a while and then went down. Besides, she was protected by her armor, so she wasn't cold at all.
However, seeing Xiao Jinze's worried look, she did not refute.
"Okay, it's my fault. The wind is strong. Let's go down."
"By the way, didn't you say it would take a few months to come to Tongguan? How come you're here so early?"
“…Uh┏ ( ●°u°●) )┛”
"You didn't act without informing Zhiyuan in advance."
"Hmm, Zhiyuan is already a mature heir. I'm giving him a chance to test himself so that I won't panic when he takes over my position."
“……”.
