I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

Xi Lilong didn't know what else to say except sighing: "I heard that Taiyuan Prefecture is trying to dig a deep well. If they can find a water source, shouldn't Lin Liu come back?"

"One well may not be enough. We may have to spend two or three months there." Song Shiqiu's right hand was still stroking the jade pendant. "You want to take her north?"

"I would like to take her with us. There are some weird things in her head. If we take her with us, we might be able to catch the opponent by surprise." Xi Lilong really had this plan, but if he really took her with him, he was worried that he would not be able to take care of Lin Jin.

"Ajin doesn't know martial arts and has never learned military tactics. You can't protect her in such a chaotic time." Song Shiqiu thought about this possibility, but after careful consideration, he felt that the disadvantages outweighed the advantages and it was not appropriate.

"Then I want to take Tu Huaining with me." Xi Lilong was impressed by the other party's medical skills. Besides, if something really happened, Tu Huaining would definitely have no problem escaping. "This should be okay, right?"

"You should ask her about this." Song Shiqiu never ordered Tu Huaining around unless it was necessary, because in most cases he couldn't get her to do anything.

"Just your words are enough. Don't say that I took your men away directly." This is what Xi Lilong wanted Song Shiqiu to say. After saying it, she felt a little regretful, "You are not a weak person, why don't you teach Lin Liu martial arts."

"She was so skinny at first, and she hadn't grown up yet, so no one cared about her. But now she is different. She travels all over the place. If someone with ulterior motives spots her, I'm afraid something bad will happen."

Song Shiqiu turned his head, his expression stern as if asking Xi Lilong if he wanted to listen to what he was saying: "Do you think that all the people I raise are trash?"

"Hehe, Lin Liu got lost more than once." Xi Lilong started to mock.

"If everyone was like Lin Er, there would be no need for the Mandarin Duck Army." Song Shiqiu didn't tolerate her and directly mocked her back.

As the saying goes, it is a time of trouble. Everyone is busy with their own affairs. The court is also busy and exhausted. At the end of the round, the only one who is really leisurely is the official in charge of the August Women's Autumn Examination.

Taiyuan Prefecture was prone to floods and droughts, and sweet potatoes happened to be a drought- and flood-resistant crop. She simply took this opportunity to promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes, gradually spreading them from the main city of Taiyuan Prefecture to other cities. The disaster was brought under control step by step, and the bodies of those who died in the drought were also burned to avoid the outbreak of plague later.

Lin Jin diluted the prepared 84 disinfectant according to the proportion and distributed it to the people, spraying it everywhere in the city, focusing on those places where the sun could not reach, and wiping the furniture as well.

In this era, cremation was an extremely hurtful practice, so Liu Zhengqing had all the bodies moved to a mass grave three miles outside the city for cremation.

Although the people didn't know whether the disinfectant Lin Jin asked them to spray could really prevent the plague, Lin Jin's reputation during this period was there. It didn't take much time anyway, and cleaning had to be done on weekdays, so no one objected to her.

"Brother, I plan to go and have a look somewhere else." Lin Jin saw that things in the main city had been almost dealt with, and the farmland had been plowed over and planted with crops. All he needed to do next was to fetch water from the well to irrigate the land.

However, other cities do not have water sources provided by the system, and the arable land has only been turned over but cannot be used to plant crops.

"I'll go with you." Liu Zhengqing understood that she was planning to continue helping with farming and did not object. It would be impossible if he didn't let Lin Jin do something.

Lin Jin asked Xunmian and Xing'er to look after the girls' academy, and she and Liu Zhengqing, with a team of guards they had brought from the Prime Minister's Mansion, headed for the nearby city.

With food and water, everyone had the energy to farm, and all the farmland they passed by was plowed over again, but the land was dry, and only a small part of it was irrigated with water.

Lin Jin took out all the grain seeds suitable for planting and asked the officials in charge of the city to distribute the seeds. Then he asked the system to turn on the faucet as before. Water flowed out of the faucet continuously, fell into the canal, and spread to the fields little by little along the canal.

The people watched this scene and held their breath for fear that if they frightened Lin Jin, the water source would disappear.

Lin Jin and Liu Zhengqing were like machines, repeating the same work every day. After irrigating the farmland in one city, they would go to the next city, repeating this cycle over and over again without a single day of rest.

Liu Zhengqing came in with a sculpture. Seeing Lin Jin lowering his head to study something again, he also took a look. He had seen this thing many times. Lin Jin had been studying it for some time, but he just couldn't figure it out.

He felt that this thing was familiar: "Is this a water pump?"

"It's a water pump, but it's quite large." Lin Jin bit the pen and tidied up the messy desk. "Brother, why are you here?"

Liu Zhengqing placed the sculpture on Lin Jin's desk and said, "I've brought you something."

Lin Jin looked at the sculpture and felt that it looked familiar, as if it was somewhat similar to herself: "Is this me?"

"Yes, it's you. A girl just gave it to you." Liu Zhengqing thought it was not a valuable thing, so if these people wanted to give it to him, then let them give it to him. "Take a rest first. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. Are you not going to celebrate the festival?"

Even the people in the city were in high spirits today, except Lin Jin who sat in the house the entire day.

Lin Jin quickly tapped his head: "It's Mid-Autumn Festival, I almost forgot."

Without a cell phone, she doesn’t like to pay attention to these things, and often forgets that the festival has arrived.

"Then we have to make some mooncakes to eat. But I'm afraid there isn't any filling right now..." After Lin Jin finished speaking, she saw Liu Zhengqing taking out a plate of mooncakes like he was presenting a treasure.

Lin Jin looked at the mooncakes, then at Liu Zhengqing: "This, was made by my brother?"

"Then maybe it was given to you by Taiyin Xingjun?" Liu Zhengqing smiled and tapped Lin Jin's head with his fingers, "Try it and see how it tastes."

Lin Jin didn't even care that she hadn't washed her hands yet, and directly took the one on the top and tasted it. She didn't have high hopes for the filling, but when she took a bite, she found that it had the same jujube paste filling as jujube paste cake.

Her eyes lit up: "Where did the jujube paste come from? There are still jujubes now?"

"If Taiyuan doesn't have it, can't you ask the capital to send it to me? Silly girl." Liu Zhengqing looked at her helplessly, "I sent someone to send the ingredients for making mooncakes here half a month ago. They just happened to arrive yesterday, so the people can celebrate the festival too."

It’s impossible to distribute the food and fodder, but it’s still possible to let the people eat mooncakes.

Lin Jin smiled a little embarrassedly: "I didn't expect this."

"You've been busy all this time, have you come up with anything?" Liu Zhengqing casually picked up the book that Lin Jin had been reading. He had seen it many times during this period and could recognize some of the words. "South-to-North Water Diversion Project?"

What is this? How can water from the south be transferred to the north?

"Well, there are more water resources in the south. I plan to build a super large water pump to transfer water from the south to the north. This way, even if there is a drought, it won't be like it is now." Lin Jin's voice was a little unclear while eating mooncakes.

Liu Zhengqing picked up all the books and read through them: "You... have a lot to learn."

"That's true, and it's simply not enough for me alone, so I have to organize the knowledge in these books and find someone to work on this project with me." Lin Jin has been organizing the contents of these books these days. If he wants to complete such a large project, Da Xia will definitely have to take action.

For example, the Ministry of Industry, and those old craftsmen.

"Although it may not succeed, I want to give it a try. There must always be a beginning. If it doesn't work in the first year, I will keep researching." Lin Jin took a sip of tea and swallowed the mooncake. In addition, he also needed to improve the metal smelting technology to produce metals such as steel.
