Through the Book, I Became the Matchmaker for the Male Match

Chapter 1118 I Became a Pampered Person (81)

Xiaoying: "..."

Ma'am, your words hurt my heart.

He took a deep breath and explained: "The last time was an accident."

"Oh." Chi Miaomiao replied perfunctorily, not caring about him at all.

Xiaoying: "..."

City Lord Nanchang saw that the topics Chi Miaomiao and his men were talking about were so superficial, and he couldn't help but doubt her ability even more.

Did the emperor send the three imperial concubines to really solve the problem?But don't come here just to enjoy the scenery like the previous princesses.

It is also interesting to say that Nancheng did not decline due to floods. On the contrary, it became the best place for many rich men and ladies to enjoy the scenery and talk about love.

Everyone eats, shops and plays on the river, which is very interesting.

However, this only benefits the merchants, not the farmers.

Without food, the peasants couldn't even eat, and they couldn't even talk about seeing the beautiful scenery on the water.

The boat continued to row, and the ripples swayed with the oars and disappeared into the distance without a trace, drawing a beautiful arc.

The whole Nancheng is like a water town, and all activities need to be carried out on the water, which reminds Chi Miaomiao of Venice, that water city.

"Go and see where the farmers grow their crops."

It stands to reason that in the case of waterlogging, the soil where crops are grown is fertile and has strong water absorption, and generally the soil where crops are grown is soft, which is very suitable for digging canals.

The boatman obeyed Chi Miaomiao's order and headed to the place where the crops were grown. Nancheng was a small town, and the boat arrived after a while.

The current environment is no better than in ancient times. Even if it is mixed with soil, the river water is crystal clear.

But you can't tell the height of the ground just from the water, so Chi Miaomiao thought to check the water level first, and test the softness of the soil by the way.

"Is there a stick? Or something like a long bamboo pole?" Chi Miaomiao asked.

"This... I'm afraid it's a bit hard to find." The city owner wondered, "The third imperial concubine doesn't know something. Since Nancheng became like this, all the wood and bamboo have been used to make boats. Now I want to find this thing, really. It’s hard to find. Even if there is, it’s rotten.”

Chi Miaomiao lowered her head, put one hand on her chin and thought for a while, "How far is Beicheng from here?"

The lord of the city replied: "If you row a boat to the gate tower, and then go to the northern city quickly, it will take at least two hours to go back and forth."

Chi Miaomiao calculated the modern time in her heart, then nodded, "That's not too far away."

As she said that, she suddenly had an idea and came up with a good idea, "Master Nan, do you have any rope here? Any rope will do, it doesn't matter if it's wet."

City Lord Nan nodded, "There are indeed. In the past few days, we have rushed to make more than 100 bundles of ropes for towing ships. I don't know if they are enough."

The ropes used to pull the boats seem to be quite long, and more than 100 bundles are estimated to be able to reach Beicheng.

"Okay, bring them all here first, and then we're leaving for Beicheng." Chi Miaomiao said.

I don't know what Chi Miaomiao's request for the rope has to do with going to Beicheng, but the city lord still ordered it.

After a few people waited on the boat for a while, a boat carrying ropes came over.

"Third Imperial Concubine, the rope you want."

The more than 100 bundles of ropes were so many and heavy that even if they were loaded in two boats, the boat sank by more than half, dangling on the water surface, feeling as if it was about to sink.

"Throw a bundle here first." After Chi Miaomiao ordered the boatman, he said to Xiaoying, "Xiaoying, go and tie this rope to..."

Chi Miaomiao looked around, and finally chose a relatively thick tree, "Xiaoying, tie the rope to that big tree, and tie it firmly."
