Blade of Wind

When I woke up the next day, I found myself lying on the bed, and I didn't know when Qinglong hugged me down.

Ah Ao was not in the room, but he could hear voices talking outside, and he didn't know if he got up early or didn't sleep at all.

I got up from the bed and walked out the door. Li Guang and the others also got up, greeted me with a smile, and didn't mention what happened last night.I greeted them, walked to the well in the courtyard, and was about to draw water to wash, but was dragged by Ao.

He didn't speak, just prepared hot water for me.

I pursed my lips, washed up hastily, and muttered, "Actually, it's okay, it's summer, and the water isn't cold."

A Ao glared at me resentfully, "You are just looking for convenience, and you don't even think about it. People see a woman coming in, but turn out to be a man and go out. It's strange not to treat you as a monster."

"No way? I think people here are very accepting of strange things. Mo Yekong and the others were not frightened by me before." I retorted, and suddenly remembered that he reminded me.What have I been depressed about these two nights?In fact, it can be solved by pouring cold water, right?

Before I finished thinking about it, Ah Ao put on a straight face and said viciously: "Don't even think about it."

I frowned and looked at him, "I haven't said anything yet..."

Ah Ao snorted disdainfully, "Just your stupid face, there is no need to say it. If you don't want me to carry a bucket of hot water to follow you, don't think about doing such stupid things in front of me."

……

All right.Maybe I shouldn't have told him how to change back before.

I spread my hands, didn't say anything, had breakfast with everyone and went on to work.

When I arrived at the construction site, I had just assembled at the meeting point and hadn't officially started working yet. I met the Lord Liu Shenghe yesterday and stopped me directly.

I looked around, and probably the patriarch didn't expect this to happen. This time, none of the villagers stood up to act as a shield for me. I had no choice but to walk over obediently, called "Master Liu", and saluted.

He frowned and looked at me, as if he was not very happy, "Didn't you be allowed to leave? Why are you still here?"

He has a good memory.

I didn't know how to answer for a while, so I simply lowered my head and didn't speak.

Liu Shenghe sighed, but his tone softened a bit, and said: "It's okay. The law that you will be severely punished if you can't work because of illness has already been abolished. You don't have to worry."

"But, the river repair project..."

As soon as I mentioned the project, Liu Shenghe frowned, but finally he just sighed and said: "Although the river project is a big deal, the current progress...is not enough to ask a girl to do such a heavy job." live."

I was taken aback, and suddenly raised my eyes to look at him. "Can you see it?"

He was also taken aback, as if amused by my words, he forced a smile, "I'm not blind."

... I said why Liguang didn't wear the upper, so I did.

He should have had a cold shower before coming out.

But thinking about Ah Ao's attitude in the morning... I couldn't help curling my lips again, and didn't speak.

"How about this." Liu Shenghe thought about it and asked, "Are you literate?"

I nodded. Although the writing is not very good-looking, there is no obstacle to reading and writing.

"Then follow me and do some chores for a while."

Master Liu said so, and in one sentence, I was promoted from a coolie pulling stones to a boy running errands.

Although I think this person is a bit machismo, but firstly, my shoulders are still hurting, and secondly, I really didn't make a special trip to move the stone, so I didn't say anything, and followed obediently.

This Mr. Liu Shenghe is really a pragmatic person. He came early in the morning before we went to work.Then the inspections of various departments began, and the progress of almost all processes was very clear, and occasionally he rolled up his sleeves to help.It has a good reputation among laborers and soldiers alike.It's just that although he is familiar with Hegong's business, when an order is stopped midway, when asked carefully, it has something to do with "the lord from the palace".Although it may be that I was in the way of my presence, I have never seen Liu Shenghe lose his temper again, but when he encounters such a conflict, his expression is very ugly.

I followed him, that is, taking notes and running errands.Of course, I also tried my best to write down what I saw and heard, and I took Li Guang to look through the ledger in the middle.

After returning, they called Mo Yekong and Aao to hold a small meeting quietly to analyze the situation of the river control project here.

Li Guang said that there should be no major problems with the accounts, but the key is all kinds of delays.

Judging from what we have learned in the past two days, when Liu Shenghe took over here, according to the topography of the river here, the policy he set was to build embankments first, then build diversion canals next to it, and wait until the dry season to dredge the river. .

But when those who came out of the palace arrived, they believed that the main strategy for river governance in ancient times was "dredging", so they changed to dredging the river first.However, because the rainy season has just passed and the current water is turbulent, after the hastily prepared boats were launched into the water, not only did little effect on dredging, but even several accidents occurred.So the dredging plan was interrupted again, and the embankment continued.

It didn't take long for these high officials to discuss and think that a large lake should be dug where the river bends to regulate the water flow.However, after digging began, it was discovered that the nearby strata were not suitable for digging the lake, so they had to go back to the Liusheng River diversion canal plan.These are just a few general directions, and there are countless conflicts on small issues.

After hearing what we said, Ah Ao frowned slightly, and said, "Speaking of which, these people who came out of the palace didn't intend to make trouble?"

Li Guang nodded, and said: "I think they are just inexperienced, and they don't understand the actual terrain and water potential. They rely on some book knowledge and are eager for success. Maybe there are some face problems of one kind or another."

"Sounds like you're talking about us." I laughed.

Li Guang said: "No, I definitely don't mean that."

I waved my hand and said, "It doesn't matter if it is, it's the truth. I'm just an idiot who suddenly came down from the air and didn't understand anything but just pointed fingers at me."

Ah Ao also laughed at himself, pursed his lips and asked me: "Then what are you going to do now?"

"I'll go to the construction site tomorrow." I hesitated, and said to Mo Yekong, "General Mo, please help me investigate Liu Shenghe."

Mo Yekong nodded in response, and asked, "The Lord wants to promote him?"

"Check it out for me first. If there is nothing wrong, we'll ask the Marquis of Qingzhou to ask him to come over." I smiled and said, "However, no matter what, the command right on the Zhihe side must be returned to him first." Him. Otherwise, if it continues, I think the folks in Qingzhou will have to learn from the Marquis of Huizhou again."

Mo Yekong replied again, but did not speak again.Li Guang smiled, "Xiaojie, you still care about that matter?"

I spread my hands, "Is there no way you don't mind?"

Li Guang nodded and said, "Very good."

I pursed my lips and squinted at him, "What's the matter? I really hate the feeling of having a sword hanging over my head."

"But as a king, it's a good thing to be a little afraid." Li Guang explained with a smile, "The key is how you should transform this pressure."

... If I know how to transform, where will there be any pressure?
