When the scenery is right

, reacted and reached out to take back the teacup, "I, I'll change it for you."

Meng Shiqing grabbed his hand, said "no problem", and drank the cup of tea that was still hot.Jing He watched him gulp down the new tea in his cup, and the cool water droplets on his light-colored thin lips looked crystal clear and attractive, he licked his lips subconsciously, and gave a smirk.

Outside the house, it rained heavily all day and all night.It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil. After a bitter winter, this unexpected heavy rain flooded all the farmland along the coast. The huge bamboo cage was filled with heavy pebbles, and the strong, shirtless men chanted and worked together to throw the cage accurately into the river.

Cages one after another form the dam, and the fierce water flow from the upstream hits one side of the bamboo cage, and the gaps between the stone cracks are broken into pieces, diverting those rivers into small streams, and one side is the turbulent river. , but one side was turned into tiny streams of water.The flexible bamboo becomes more resilient under the brewing of the river water, and the bamboo cage sinks steadily at the bottom of the river, and the whole river seems to soften in an instant.

On both sides of the strait are the cheers of the people.Jiang Dao excitedly rushed towards Meng Shiqing, who was watching the crowd in the distance, and said happily, "Bing, Lord Bing... useful... the bamboo cage is useful!!"

Hearing what he said, Jing He bounced around for a while, and then dragged Jiang Dao to the river to have a look. Jiang Dao stabilized him and said, "Mr. Send someone to complete the follow-up work, and then you can go to see it."

Meng Shiqing smiled and pulled Jing He back, "You have made a great contribution this time, let's go home and celebrate."

"Yes, what the lord said is true." Jiang Dao smiled, and his eyes were a little red as he spoke: "The lord and Mr. Jing have worked so hard to divert the rivers and build embankments. I don't know how many of our farmers' irrigation problems have been solved. , Now it’s all right, I won’t be afraid of flooding in the future.”

Jing He looked at Meng Shiqing, who blinked at him, and then said to Jiang Dao: "Magistrate Jiang, if you really appreciate it, prepare some good wine tonight."

Jiang Dao bowed, wiped away his old tears and said, "Yes, I will arrange for people to prepare it right now, my lord, just please."

Meng Shiqing and Jinghe returned to the county magistrate's mansion, and someone brought Sichuan specialties.Three or five women held Shu brocades and scrambled to introduce to the scene and how good the Shu brocades they wove were, specially provided by the royal family, high-quality silk, and unique dyeing. Everyone boasted about their own things.The strong men squeezed several jars of Daqu wine among the women, and some even opened the earthen lids sealed on the jars, and the smell of wine filled the house for a while.

Standing at the door, Jing He's face was full of shock, and he kept pushing and rejecting the pair of hands in front of him, "Ah, no, no, I don't need Shu brocade. Thank you, thank you."

"Young master, take it, take it. This is a little thought from our folks."

"Yes! You and the prince helped everyone solve the problem, so you should accept these things."

The strong man put the wine jar under Jing He's feet, pointed to the wine jar and said, "Don't dislike it, this is our homemade Daqu wine! It's strong enough!"

Jing Hebei smiled and waved his hands and said, "I don't drink, I don't drink." He was busy dealing with the people who gathered around him, he kept pushing and refusing, and scolded Meng Shiqing a thousand times in his heart. He hid in the house and didn't know what to do, and Jiang Dao hadn't come back yet, and he couldn't shut the good intentions that came to his door, so he stood here alone and stopped him, his face froze after laughing for a long time.

When he was in a trance, he was about to accept the Shu brocade offered by someone else, when Meng Shiqing finally appeared.As soon as he appeared, those people immediately turned towards him, and replaced the "Mr. Jing" with "Prince".Jing He was so exhausted that he was about to collapse. He rolled his eyes at Meng Shiqing, and whispered in his ear, gnashing his teeth, "What did you do?"

Meng Shiqing did not forget to smile gently at the crowd, and replied, "I'm going to deal with some urgent matters from the capital. Why are there so many people?"

"You've become a great hero, and I'm here to thank you. Hehehehe"

Meng Shiqing probably understood the situation, waved his hand to calm down those people, and said loudly: "I appreciate your kindness. It is my duty to see that you are safe and sound. I have been here for many days with my father and my fellow villagers Now that the problem has been solved, I am very pleased. The things you sent are too precious, and I am ashamed to accept them."

"My lord, we didn't know you were so good before, so we were rude to you. Your lordship not only doesn't care about it, but also treats us sincerely. We feel ashamed of you, so you can accept it."

Meng Shiqing's eyes were gentle, but his mouth reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about. This king is here on behalf of the imperial court. The imperial court was negligent in these matters before, which made you suffer a lot. Now that you are fine If it’s over, let’s make the two even, and you will come to make amends as the king.”

Meng Shiqing picked up the unsealed wine jar on the ground and said: "This wine jar is accepted by the king without politeness, and you don't send the rest."

Seeing his calm expression, Jing He said to the crowd with a smile: "Don't think that the prince has a good temper. In fact, he is impatient and keeps his promise. If you send it again next time, what will he do if you don't keep it all together? Go back. Let's go back."

Meng Shiqing felt helpless when he heard him slandering her.However, Jing He's words didn't seem to have the expected effect. The leader of the man said: "Mr. Jing's words are wrong. We all know what the prince is like. But since the prince said so, we don't bother. The prince We all remember it in our hearts, and our ancestors will remember it for generations!"

After seeing off the disturbing group of people, Jing He collapsed on the bed from exhaustion. "Meng Shiqing, you finally got your wish."

Meng Shiqing re-sealed the wine jar and put it on the table, saying: "Leave this jar of wine here for Jiang Dao, and count it as his reward for the hard work of the past few days."

Jing He said: "Meng Shiqing, you are so kind to people, no wonder people's hearts are toward you."

Meng Shiqing looked at him playfully and said, "I treat you so well, but your heart is toward me?"

Jing He lay on the bed with his hands on his head and muttered: "I didn't think about it so much before, but after I came here, I realized that it would be a good thing for you to be the emperor. It's just that I can help you..."

Meng Shiqing lowered his head and smiled without saying a word, but he thought of a sentence: Don't belittle yourself and use injustice.

The author has something to say: "Bamboo cage water blocking method" is quoted from Li Jifu's "Yuanhe county annals" in Tang Dynasty: "Qianwei Weir (Dujiangyan's name in Tang Dynasty) is 25 miles southwest of the county, and Li Bing made it to prevent the river from breaking. The cage is three feet in diameter and ten feet long, and it is made of stone. It is tired and stagnant."

Thanks to Li Bing for his great idea!

☆, peace of mind
