From the end of the world to ancient times with the writer system

Xilin County is not rich in water resources, but not every season is short of water.Relatively speaking, there is usually more rain in late spring and early summer. At this time, the water level of the Lan River rises, and the flow of streams and springs also increases. This is the most comfortable period of the year for the people of Xilin County.

At other times, as long as it is a normal year, there is no shortage of draft water for people. If there is a drought, they can only ask for more blessings.

It is now the rainy season in Xilin County, and it will rain every few days, varying in size.The crops are nourished by the rain, showing a thriving trend.

After Ji Xuanhe came to Xilin County, he had very few chances to see rain. It was the first time he encountered such frequent rains as now.

The moat has not been dug yet, and work can only be suspended in the rainy season.There was a lot of rain in the river, and Ji Xuanhe wasn't worried. Judging from the drought in Xilin County, when the rain stopped and there was no water source, the accumulated water in the moat would evaporate quickly.

After being washed by the rain, the air in Xilin County has improved a lot, and it is hard to see the dusty sky again.

Yunji Grocery Store and Yunji Cloth Store have been open for several months, but the business of the same store and similar goods is much worse than that of Kangping County.This is also impossible. Xilin County is only close to the border, not a border town. There are not many merchants coming and going. In addition, its own products are not rich, the land is not fertile, and it is in an area that lacks water and rain. It is already very good to maintain the current situation. good.

Although the two shops are recorded under Shao Yunchen's name, most of the current income has been included in the public account of the Jifu.Ji's family has a weak foundation in Xilin County and has a lot of daily expenses. Ji Xuanhe's salary alone is not enough to support Ji's current expenses.

At the beginning, Ji's workshop was purely maintained by Ji's family, but now it has finally made some profits, and the amount of money posted has been greatly reduced. Over time, it should be able to make some profits.As for the money paid in advance by Xishan Zhuangzi Ji Xuanhe, the cost should be recovered by the end of the year.

Ji Xuanhe went through the accounts. Except for the large expenditure, the income and expenditure can be balanced. Ji Xuanhe is quite satisfied with this.

After closing the ledger, Ji Xuanhe got up and went to the window. It was drizzling rain outside, the trees and flowers were full of vitality, and he looked extraordinarily energetic. A gust of wind blew by, and the fragrance of flowers was refreshing.

With the sound of crisp footsteps, Ji Xuanhe felt his shoulders sink, and looking sideways, Shao Yunchen was leaning on his shoulder with his eyes closed, as if he was listening to the sound of rain.Ji Xuanhe raised the corners of his lips, smiled directly into his eyes, and sighed in his heart, he really grew up, both of them were about the same height.

The good times always slip away before you have time to miss them.

In Xilin County, the rare period of the year without water shortage is fleeting, and the part of the moat that has not been completed is about to restart.

There is a foundation under the city wall. Considering the depth of the foundation, the moat must be dug deeper.Ji Xuanhe's worries were not unfounded. Halfway through the progress of the project, the labor force dug a secret passage.

The police followed the secret passage to the city and found that the entrance was blocked. It took a long time to find the mechanism.As soon as the entrance was opened, the policemen looked at each other in blank dismay. There was still a secret passage in front of them. There was a three-way intersection at the entrance. The soldiers divided into two roads, and finally found that the two fork roads led to the two closed inns and brothels.

The exit of the secret passage is in a small abandoned temple not far from Xilin County, and few people visit it on weekdays.

Xilin County's economy is not prosperous, but it still has some military value.The secret passage is connected to the secret passage, so it must be worthwhile to go through so many troubles, and this is the only reason Ji Xuanhe can think of.

When arresting people, he arrested all the people in the stronghold. Those who could prove that he had nothing to do with the matter were released, and the others were taken away by the superiors. For those innocent people who were implicated, Ji Xuan He can only order wax for them silently, who can blame this?I can only blame them for being unlucky and hit the muzzle. I hope they will come back one day.

The secret passage connecting the inside and outside of the city must be filled, and it must be filled with stones.

It was midsummer when the moat was completed.The hot summer is not a good time to start construction, so the moat has only been dug roughly, and the rest of the process will have to wait until after the autumn harvest.

Ji Xuanhe accidentally hit and caught a group of human traffickers with ulterior motives, and the higher authorities took this matter very seriously.Ji Xuanhe's next actions were all followed by the higher-ups, and the higher-ups also followed suit when digging a moat to dig a secret passage, but they didn't dig the moat like Ji Xuanhe did, but looked for the exit from the secret passage of the stronghold they found. Once you have a clear goal, you can always find it with a little manpower and time.

"Already dealt with?"

"My lord, I checked all the towns near the border. It took a long time. I think the people behind the scenes have already noticed that something is wrong. Many strongholds have been emptied, and many secret passages have been found, and they have been destroyed. "

"The higher-ups attach great importance to it. I don't know which expert came up with the idea. They have good intentions. If it weren't for Xilin County, once they get their way, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Yes, my lord, I still shudder thinking about it now. My lord, in addition to the border towns that are focused on taking care of them, other prefectures and counties in the fief have also been checked. Most of the problems are border towns, and other places are fine."

"The ones who can have this ability are the ones above, but for some reason, they are mostly deployed in border towns. Could it be..." The speaker shuddered, and he dared not continue to think about it.

"My lord, what reward do you have for the magistrate of Xilin County?"

"There is no special reward, but the guards near Xilin County have strengthened their defenses to ensure that the lives of officials in Xilin County are safe."

……

Xilin County Government Office.

"My lord, there was a fight in the upper reaches of the Lan River. This time it was a bit too noisy, and almost killed me. My lord, do you see?"

"Xia Xiancheng, has this happened in previous years?" Ji Xuanhe put down the brush in his hand, and turned his gaze to Xia Dongying who was beside him.

"It happens every year, but there are not many who almost get killed." Xia Xiancheng reported the truth.

There is only one Lan River in Xilin County. If the upstream is blocked, will the downstream be short of water?It’s impossible for the crops to have no water, and the common people are cut off from their livelihoods. No matter how poor and kind people used to be, when the time comes, it’s impossible for them to be weak-tempered. Ordinary landlords and wealthy households who don’t dare to offend, they dare to risk their lives to fight .

"How do you usually deal with it?" Ji Xuanhe decided to refer to the experience of his predecessors.

"Those people don't do things so badly. They won't stop all the water in the Lan River, otherwise they wouldn't be able to stop so many people downstream. It's just that at this time of year, the water level of the Lan River is not high. After being intercepted, the water level is even lower, and the farmers in the lower reaches take water. It is even more inconvenient, and this is why there is a conflict with the upstream farmers." Xia Xiancheng thought of mediation every year, and this kind of thing still happens every year, his face is not very good, "Speaking of it, there is still not much water. The people who cut the river also know that they do this. When things get serious, the government will definitely intervene in the end. They just make a time difference and wait for things to happen before they deal with them. The irrigation of the upstream fields has basically been completed, and because of this, it is like this every year. , Repeatedly prohibited."

"Let's go and have a look." Ji Xuanhe's eyes were filled with interest, he didn't think he could change their persistent behavior.

There are ice cubes in the house to cool off, but the sun is shining outside.Although Ji Xuanhe was prepared, he was still smothered by the heat outside.

Jinchao's official uniforms are fairly user-friendly, with seasons, summer fabrics are more breathable, even so, that doesn't change the fact that they are long-sleeved trousers.

Ji Xuanhe wore a wide-brimmed straw hat without a top over his official hat, and the others were like him. Under the scorching sun, how could anyone care about whether it would be degrading to do so?

The troubled place was a little far away, and it took more than half an hour for everyone to hurry up.

Ji Xuanhe came out not to mediate between the two parties, but to check the situation.The water in the Lan River is quite sufficient, at least much more than in winter.

The vegetation in Xilin County is not sparse, and the trees on both sides of the Lan River are not short of water, and they grow extraordinarily lush.Ji Xuanhe found a shady place, collected his sweat, and then walked to the troublesome section of the river to check.

Now the troublemaker has left early, and the yamen servant was sent to collect evidence and mediate.It's okay if no one is killed, but if there is a death, the incident will escalate, and it's no longer just a fight.

Ji Xuanhe still adheres to the previous practice, and anyone who provokes troubles will be sent to Xishan Zhuangzi to reclaim an acre of wasteland.It's up to them whether they continue to make trouble or not next year, and it's good that they are repeatedly banned. Next year, they can still get free labor for nothing.

The Lan River is not big, but the current is not slow.Xilin County is mostly mountainous, and the Lan River has a slight drop, especially in the upper reaches, where the water is turbulent.The section of the river where Ji Xuanhe is located is the place where farmers are making trouble. The location is well chosen. Compared with other places, the water flow here is relatively gentle. There are a few big rocks blocked in the middle of the river. According to Ji Xuanhe's visual estimation, the difference between the two sides is estimated to be more than one degree. Rice, no wonder the farmers in the lower reaches are not happy, and they want to find the farmers in the upper reaches to talk about it.

The two villages of Ji's family are further downstream, and the farmers farther away probably haven't reacted yet. By the time they realize the problem, it is estimated that the Yamen has already taken action to solve it, so there is nothing wrong with them.

There was plenty of water vapor by the river, and there were shade trees to block the sun. Ji Xuanhe took off his summer hat and fanned himself to enjoy the cool air. The sweat on his forehead soon disappeared, but his body was sticky and full of sour sweat, which tasted really bad. smell.

Xia Xiancheng went to deal with the dispute by himself, and by the way, he asked the police to take the main troublemaker who built the dam to stop the river and sent him to serve in Xishan.This plan is very clever, Xia Xiancheng's face immediately turned cloudy when he thought of this solution.In this way, if they want to stop the flow next year, they will have to weigh whether it is worthwhile.

Hearing the sound of rushing water, his consent faded a bit, Ji Xuanhe wondered if there was another way.After all, the farmers will be like this, not because of the lack of water, but now it is okay, and there is no time when there is a severe water shortage.At that time, no matter you are the heavenly king and Lao Tzu, you should still fight for water. Water is the source of life, and you can’t lack water if you lack anything.

After checking, Ji Xuanhe led the people up the river until they were blocked by mountains before returning.The Lan River is just a tributary, and its source is not in Xilin County. It is other counties beyond the mountains.The further upstream you go, the higher the water level of the Lan River, presumably the upstream counties and towns are much better than Xilin County.

It was near dusk when I returned to the county government office, and it was past the time to go down to the government office, so all the officials went back to their homes.

After riding the horse for several hours, Ji Xuanhe was a little tired and had no desire to eat. After washing away his exhaustion, he slept on the recliner for half an hour, and he became alive again after eating a big bowl of cold noodles.

Man is extremely small in front of nature, even in modern times, it is not so difficult to fight against nature.With such a climate in Xilin County, Ji Xuanhe had no choice but to solve the problem of water shortage.All he could think of was digging reservoirs and building canals, but there was no better way.

It’s nothing more than building a canal. Digging a reservoir is not as simple as digging a pond. Not only does it take a lot of manpower, material resources and a lot of time to get it done, but it also requires the guidance of a master who is proficient in this area. Otherwise, if the reservoir is not dug, people will die instead The gain outweighs the loss.

There are three sources of reservoir water, rainwater, surface water and groundwater.The reservoirs that Ji Xuanhe had seen in modern times mainly relied on rainwater, but he didn't know if there was underground running water.

The location of the reservoir is very important, and it is a huge project that cannot be completed in a short time. Ji Xuanhe has to carefully consider the pros and cons.

Judging from the attitudes of Xia Xiancheng and the others, they thought they would not object to this matter, Ji Xuanhe frowned in thought.

After writing a chapter and saving the manuscript as usual, Ji Xuanhe did not quit the writer system immediately, but carefully searched for the services he needed.The writer system not only has a complete range of goods, but also provides a variety of services.

When Ji Xuanhe first came to Jinchao, he saw a doctor on the system, which was one of the services provided by the system. What he is looking for now is the lease.Ji Xuanhe couldn't afford high-tech items, but renting them for a few hours was still within his tolerance.

He checked the water detection instruments one by one, thinking that if the rental price is too expensive, he will give up. After all, Xilin County does not belong to him. Once he leaves office, the previous efforts will basically be in vain. The better Xilin County is managed, the better it will be. It is to make wedding dresses for others.Ji Xuanhe is not so selfless, he is willing to give, it is because these sacrifices are still within his tolerance, once this is over, he would rather give up.

Most of the rental equipment is counted by the number of times, and the water detection equipment that Ji Xuanhe wants to buy is also the same, but the time is limited, and the number of times will be recalculated if the time is exceeded.The scientific and technological content of water detection instruments varies greatly. The cheapest scientific and technological level is equivalent to that of modern instruments. He is not sure how much.

Monk Ji Xuan could covet one or two high-tech instruments. Ji Xuanhe could only chuckle a few times about those magic weapons of cultivation, not to mention whether he, a mortal, could drive them. Even if he could use them, the price was not something he could afford. The large string of zeros almost didn't blind his eyes.

Ji Xuanhe browsed through it roughly, and found that the instrument capable of penetrating water to a depth of 30 to [-] meters was still within his ability, so he began to worry about it.

Although it is now a slack season, due to the lack of abundant water resources and imperfect water conservancy facilities, farmers often have to carry water to irrigate crops, which is not a good time to transfer labor. The construction of reservoirs can only wait until the moat is completely completed.

The reservoir can’t be built just because it’s built. If the county government has spare capacity, it’s okay to pay part of the funds. Xishan Zhuangzi can also pay part after the autumn harvest, and report it to the magistrate. If the above approves, Xilin County can also get a sum of money , It's just that it won't be too much, and Xilin County can only find a way to solve the remaining money.

There are reservoirs in the Jin Dynasty, but there are very few places with the ability to build reservoirs. The biggest problem is silver. The money allocated from above has been exploited layer by layer. How much is really hard to say.Besides, officials implement a rotation system. Few of them stay in the same place for more than ten years or even decades, and they are all low-level officials. Who would like to plant trees by themselves to let future generations enjoy the shade?

The reservoir is still under construction, but Ji Xuanhe is not idle.He asked his master to go to the mountains to choose a suitable place, and the location of the reservoir alone was enough for them to work for a long time.Due to limited conditions, it is impossible to open a mountain. We can only choose a place that is naturally suitable for building a reservoir.

There are many mountains in Xilin County, so it is not advisable to blindly go into the mountains to choose. The villagers at the foot of the mountain are not just there to watch. With the information provided by the villagers and combined with the professional vision of the masters, Ji Xuanhe believes that no matter how slow the progress is, there will be problems. a limit.

In Xilin County, it is hot in summer and cold in winter, and spring and autumn are relatively short. When the wind blows, dust and dust are blown up. In addition, there is plenty of sunshine. People who live here all year round have rougher skin and darker skin than those in the south.

Ji Xuanhe lived in Xilin County for more than half a year, so he should be like the local people, but it is not the case.It's not that Ji Xuanhe is exceptionally talented, he's different from others, he just uses the skin care products produced by the system, maintains them properly, and he is young, much better than when he was in Kangping County.

Ji Xuanhe had to go out to do errands from time to time, even under the wind and sun, Shao Yunchen's skin was even better.Every time the wives met, they were so envious and asked one after another, Shao Yunchen just smiled, saying that they used the same ones as everyone else, maybe it was because he had a good physique and was not easily affected by the dry climate.

The skin care products that Ji Xuanhe produced were not high-end, and the system currency was not much, but compared with modern times, they were much better.Ji Xuanhe also thought about the risks involved, but when he thought about it again, he wasn't worried anymore.Shao Yunchen is his closest person in Jinchao, if even he can't believe it, he is too tired to live.

Ji Xuanhe knows these expenses well. After so many years, besides the expenses, Ji Xuanhe has already saved a lot of system currency. The system currency for buying life-saving medicine and life-saving items is enough. Of course, it is only the lowest level. If you want a high-level item, you have to continue to work hard.

In addition to upgrading the grade of life-saving supplies, the system currency he earned after that has enough surplus to use.Skin care products and ointment used in intercourse before come from the writing system.

Shao Yunchen is Ji Xuanhe's pillow person, he is shrewd and careful, it is impossible for him not to notice the abnormalities around him.Although there were many doubts in his heart, he didn't say anything, and when he realized something was wrong, he even put these items away carefully. No matter how caring the servant girl was, they shouldn't know about it.

Regarding Shao Yunchen's behavior, Ji Xuanhe saw it in his eyes, his face was calm, but he was very happy in his heart.

After going through the initial difficult period, Ji Xuanhe no longer needs to be so stingy, he can use half of the system currency he earns every month at will.After Shao Yunchen got used to the changes, Ji Xuanhe would buy some seasonal fruits from the writer system from time to time, and those from the south, the north, and even other continents were included in their mouths.

Apart from being inexplicably surprised at the beginning, Shao Yunchen was relieved when he thought of those skin care products that were much more effective than the outside world.He didn't ask anything, but what was handed to him was exactly what he wanted.

The fruit pits were all recycled into the system by Ji Xuanhe. The system has great powers. He used to not believe in evil, and tried to plant with these fruit pits. The result was consistent with the message sent to him by the system. The only way to plant successfully is to buy seeds.

As long as there are plants in the world where Jinchao is located, Ji Xuanhe does not need to buy the species, but only needs to pay for the seeds. The farther away from his location, the higher the price.Of course, these are just plants of the same grade as Jinchao. If you want to buy high-quality varieties, it will cost a lot of money, and Ji Xuanhe can't afford it for the time being.

If you want to buy animals and plants that Jinchao does not have, you have to pay a large sum of system currency. The higher the value, the more system currency you pay.If the system currency is not paid, the purchased animals and plants cannot breed offspring.

Thinking of eating, Ji Xuanhe also felt a little emotional.It seems that being poor has its advantages. Ji’s family is not considered a rich family, but they are surrounded by servants. If you want to eat food produced by the system, you have to be very careful. It is basically impossible to have a regular meal. Ji Xuanhe can only buy some snacks to satisfy his appetite. desire.

Ordinary fruits don't cost much system currency. Ji Xuanhe occasionally buys some fruits that can improve his health. There are not many, and the quality is extremely low. Compared with ordinary fruits, they are much better, and the price is also very good. As far as the current season is concerned, In terms of Xuanhe's net worth, he can only eat once every two or three months.

Ji Xuanhe didn't give Old Master Zhen any ordinary fruits. Ji Xuanhe squeezed those fruits to improve his health into juice and served them to Old Master Zhen himself. He watched him drink it before taking away the empty cup.

Old Master Zhen has a lot of opinions on this, but it can't stand up to Ji Xuanhe's set of principles.It's not the fault of Old Master Zhen, as he is getting older, he doesn't like sweets that much. If it wasn't for Ji Xuanhe's face, he wouldn't be interested in taking a sip of the juice even if he put it in his mouth.

Shao Yunchen didn't realize that his body was gradually improving. He was young and strong, and he was very healthy, but his body improved very slowly, so it was normal to be ignored.Shao Yunchen didn't find anything unusual about these fruits, but he realized their preciousness from the fact that these fruits only appeared every few months.Occasionally he wants to eat fruit, and when Tong Ji declares that he wants to, he consciously excludes fruits that improve his physique from the list.

Shao Yunchen's meticulous and considerate, Ji Xuanhe can feel it all the time, and he is more satisfied with him.You must know that fruits with special functions taste very good, and the taste alone can conquer a large number of people, and can endure the temptation of delicious food. Shao Yunchen is not only amazing in concentration, but more importantly, he puts Ji Xuanhe in his heart. Everywhere is for Ji Xuanhe's consideration.If it were a careless person, he would definitely not be as considerate as Shao Yunchen.

In fact, if possible, Ji Xuanhe would like Shao Yunchen to live a more carefree life, and those who are insensitive usually have fewer worries than others.Then I thought about it, if Shao Yunchen really changed his temperament, he might not be able to like it, that's all, that's fine, as long as he is with Ji Xuanhe, he will be able to protect him for the rest of his life.

Old Master Zhen had been using medicated food to improve his body before, but the effect was very small, and he had to eat it for years to see the effect. It cannot be compared with those fruits that improve his body.Fortunately, old master Zhen is light and healthy, otherwise the effect of the juice would be hard to hide.
