Chapter 639 He is lucky not to die
Ling Yun noticed Su Nuan staring at him sharply, and asked nervously, "Did I... do something wrong? Or did I say something wrong?"
Bai Tong also noticed that Su Nuan's gaze was too sharp, so he whispered, "Did he peek at you taking a shower?"
Su Nuan lost her composure in an instant and quickly shook her head, "No, I just remembered something else."
Ling Yun was a little panicked and really didn't know what he had done wrong.
I want to ask, but I don’t dare to. I don’t know who told me that men shouldn’t talk too much when a woman is angry, otherwise even breathing would be wrong.
When Su Nuan saw that Ling Yun was at a loss, she realized that she had scared him.
She smiled awkwardly, "Um...it's okay, it's okay...hehehe..."
The three of them were silent and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Finally, Bai Tong broke the silence and asked, "Where should sugarcane be planted?"
Su Nuan immediately responded, "Hebianer, let's go there by carriage."
The three of them got on the carriage. Ling Yun drove away the coachman and drove the carriage himself.
When they arrived at the river, Su Nuan saw a large boat fixed on the river, but she had never seen this boat before, so it must be Bai Xuehua's.
They came to an open space next to it, which was overgrown with weeds but flat.
Because Su Nuan and his team branched the river and diverted water to the cracks behind the cliff, the water level in the river is much lower.
In this way, even heavy snow like in the past will not cause floods in the spring.
Su Nuan stared at the water level and said, "It seems we should build a sluice gate. If there is too much water here, we can open the sluice gate to release the flood."
"Wait until the fissure is filled with water, then open the sluice gates and let the river water level rise."
"This can control flooding and keep the river clear. Otherwise, larger ships won't be able to pass through."
Ling Yun thought it made sense, so he thought about it carefully and said, "Well, I understand."
Su Nuan thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I'll think of a solution. You just need to find a suitable position."
Ling Yun looked at Su Nuan blankly. What else could he do? Didn’t they all need people to build them?
Su Nuan coughed dryly, "Just like the door in the cave, if there's a groove, you can just fit it in."
Ling Yun suddenly realized that the iron door in the cave was stuck in the dug groove, so it looked like it was directly cast in the cave.
"I see."
Bai Tong looked at Ling Yun and then at Su Nuan, and said enviously, "Wow... You two have such good chemistry, and you can understand each other. This is so rare."
Su Nuan was stunned. "Didn't I explain it clearly enough? You don't understand?"
Bai Tong nodded, "Well, I don't understand."
"Don't assume that just because you're educated you can understand what the other person is saying. Not many people can."
"This requires a very deep understanding. Of course, there are also those who just can't understand what people are saying no matter what, but such cases are relatively rare."
Su Nuan recalled carefully and seemed to have never met anyone who couldn't understand what people were saying.
Don't worry about that for now. Su Nuan took out the tools and said, "Come on, let's get to work."
Bai Tong was dumbfounded as he clutched the hoe. "Work?"
Then she wailed, "I should have known not to come!"
Ling Yun smiled slightly, took the hoe and started to clean the ground.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Dig three rows of trenches along the river, one foot deep will do."
"I'll prepare some medicine to clear the weeds here."
After she finished speaking, she walked towards the lounge by the river.
Many houses and temporary warehouses were built here, and it became a small dock.
Su Nuan found an empty house and entered the space. The capsule toy gave herbicide, which she put into a spray bottle and took out.
By the way, put the sugarcane seeds in a sack so that they can be planted later.
When Su Nuan returned to the river, Ling Yun had already dug a ten-foot-long ditch.
Su Nuan said, "I'll spray the herbicide, you guys continue."
Bai Tong did not dig the ditch, he was only responsible for pushing the weeds aside, but he was also exhausted and out of breath.
She complained, "I want to eat something delicious in the evening. I can't work for nothing."
Su Nuan laughed and said, "You're still hungry after eating so much seafood."
Bai Tong said, "I heard from the old people that a person who only eats seafood is likely to starve to death."
Su Nuan didn't understand and asked, "Why?"
Bai Tong shook his head, "I don't know either, but seafood really isn't very filling, and I get hungry very quickly."
Su Nuan nodded. Although she didn’t know why, she felt that what the old man said always made sense.
She sprayed the surrounding land with herbicides, took out the sugarcane seeds, and stacked them in the ditch one by one.
Ling Yun asked in surprise, "This... is a seed? Shouldn't the sprout point upwards?"
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Look, there are two sprouts on this section. If you plant them vertically, one of them will be buried too deep and won't sprout well."
"Let them lie there, and when the two sprouts grow, they will automatically push themselves up out of the soil."
Ling Yun nodded, "I see, farming is indeed a profound art."
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, so Nong Pai Zai Shi is behind."
"Officials control power, farmers control livelihoods, workers control housing, and merchants control the economy. For a country to be strong, all of these are indispensable."
"only……"
Her face darkened, she pursed her lips and said nothing.
Ling Yun noticed her silence and asked, "What's wrong? Are you thinking of something unhappy?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, the Yuan Kingdom valued officials over farmers, which led to food shortages and ultimately the starvation of countless people."
"I suddenly felt that we couldn't just focus on one of the four, we needed to develop them in a balanced way."
"The highest authority can give the other three industries some small rights and conveniences, which will encourage them to do better."
Ling Yun listened carefully. He had never thought about these things before. He just felt that being a soldier and killing the enemy was the best development for the country.
It seems not to be the case now. Territorial expansion can only be carried out when the country is prosperous and has no shortage of food and clothing.
If we push forward blindly, the country will eventually disintegrate from within and be swallowed up by other forces.
Ling Yun sighed and said, "But why don't those in higher positions understand these principles?"
Su Nuan sneered and said while planting the seeds: "They understand, how many of the founding emperors are useless?"
"But after a few days of good times, those thoughts of greed for enjoyment began to emerge, just like seeds that have drunk enough water and break through the soil, greedily enjoying the sunshine."
Ling Yun nodded, and the old saying "wealth does not last for more than three years" came to his mind. This means that the descendants are greedy for enjoyment and lose their fighting spirit, so they eventually lose everything.
Su Nuan fell silent. The Yuan Kingdom really needed to be cleansed up, and those corrupt officials should be allowed to fight first.
If he dies, it's his bad luck; if he survives, it's his luck!
Ling Yun saw Su Nuan was in a daze again, so he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Su Nuan came back to her senses and smiled, "I'm wondering who the next founding emperor will be, and whether he'll appear in ten or twenty years."
