Hearing what Fifth Brother said, Su Wan's uneasiness calmed down a little.
That's good. After all, her character died because of Gu Yue in the original work. If Gu Yue still gets everyone's support like in the original work, wouldn't all her efforts be in vain?
"Then since I have come to Minzhou, I have to do some practical things. Tomorrow I will buy three thousand kilograms of brown rice and deliver it to the city gate. This can be regarded as our kindness to the people of Minzhou."
Su Wan thought, since Jeju has also donated, Minzhou must also donate, and it must be more.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Su Yi agreed with this approach.
So the next day, Su Wan had someone buy three thousand kilograms of brown rice and deliver it to the city gate. At the same time, Su Wan's carriage also left the city and rushed to You County.
Gu Yue had been arranging porridge soup very early in the morning, and the refugees lined up in an orderly manner to receive the porridge.
Brown rice is always used for making porridge. Brown rice is enough for making porridge. There is no need to use japonica rice. For the victims, it is good to have some.
The maid next to Gu Yue ran over and told her that she had donated three thousand kilograms of brown rice to the porridge shed for Miss Su.
"Miss Su? Which Miss Su?"
Mentioning the surname Su, Gu Yue's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously thought of Su Wan.
"My servant doesn't know who Miss Su is, she just said her surname is Su." The maid shook her head and answered.
Gu Yue felt strange. She looked at the carts of food and fell into deep thought.
At this time, a motorcade passed by the city gate, attracting everyone's attention.
Gu Yue raised her eyes and met Su Wan's eyes, who lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out.
She looked at Su Wan blankly, and Su Wan also looked at her, but Su Wan looked more calm and composed, and smiled meaningfully at her, and then lowered the curtain.
Not to mention Gu Yue's purpose of doing this, but she is indeed doing good things, there is no doubt about it.
Gu Yue lowered her eyes, thinking about why Su Wan appeared in Minzhou.
This place was seriously affected by flooding and was not suitable for business expansion. Then she should have come here because of Su Jing.
Gu Yue thought about it carefully, maybe she should also go to You County, at least show her face in front of Su Jing. Now that Su Jing has won the trust of the Holy Lord, the construction of the Xuanhe River Dam is also progressing smoothly. The people in the Xuanhe River Basin Praise him a lot.
When the Xuanhe dam is built, he will definitely become a new member of the imperial court, at least a third-rank official. Brother Sheng said that he needs such fresh blood to help him in the future.
She had already donated 50,000 taels of silver to Xuanhe Dam, which Su Wan could not afford. Su Jing must also know that this was her handiwork. After she went there, he should treat her with courtesy both emotionally and rationally.
"Miss, when can we go back?"
Gu Yue was thinking when Chen Yinghong's plaintive voice suddenly sounded behind her.
When he turned around, he saw an impatient look on her face.
"Go and clean up, let's go to You County!" Gu Yue ordered directly.
When Chen Yinghong heard the first half of the sentence, she thought she was finally ready to leave this ghost place and go back to Yanzhou. However, when she heard the second sentence, she felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her.
Why do you want to go to a worse place instead? Happy for nothing.
"Miss, what are we going to do in You County? The conditions there are even more difficult than in Minzhou. There is mud and yellow sand everywhere."
Chen Yinghong's disgusted expression made Gu Yue feel angry.
Is it possible that she really wants to stay here? It’s not just for future glory, it’s for brother Sheng.
"Just go if you are told, why is there so much nonsense? If you can't stand this pain, just go back to the countryside of Xiangzhou, I won't stop you."
Who is the master? Could it be that he had been relying on his friendship with Yang'ao to really take himself seriously and dare to comment on her decision?
Gu Yue lost her temper. Chen Yinghong shivered in fright and immediately admitted her mistake:
"I'm sorry, miss. It's all my fault. I shouldn't talk too much. Don't drive me away. I'm going to pack my things now!" Chen Yinghong apologized and left quickly.
Gu Yue breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at the crowd of victims. Everyone had a sour smell. She had to endure the nausea and talked and laughed with them, pretending to be gentle, but for Brother Sheng's sake. Daye, she wouldn’t come here!
…
Starting from Minzhou City early in the morning and arriving in Youxian County in the evening, Su Jing never expected that Su Wan and Su Yi would come.
Now the disaster-stricken areas in the Xuanhe River Basin are being rebuilt, and work on the dams is also going on day and night.
Su Wan had told him about the two-shift method before. Using a shift arrangement, with day and night shifts taking half a month each, and taking a day off during the shift, everyone could work day and night without losing their strength and health. Build dams and save time.
Therefore, even in the evening, when the sun had already set, Su Jing was still supervising the construction of the dam and studying the drawings.
The flood season has passed, and the water flow in the Xuanhe River is rapid, but the water level is normal. Except for the dangerous situation here every spring, it is relatively safe at other times.
This year happened to coincide with another flood, which washed away many villages and towns. It had only been a few years since they were rebuilt, and they had to be rebuilt again.
Fortunately, his dam is made of cement and has not collapsed, so there will be little damage after a flood, so we can just continue to build it.
At most, it will take less than two years for the dam to be completed.
When Su Wan and Su Yi arrived, their feet were covered with half-dried yellow mud. Looking around, they couldn't see any green plants at all. It was much more desolate than Minzhou.
Su Jing settled on the mountainside. Many private houses were built on the mountainside to house the workers and soldiers of the dam. They were like a small village and could accommodate hundreds or even thousands of people.
Everyone respects Su Jing. Among all the Du Shui Lings, he is the most approachable. He lives on the dam almost every day. Unlike the Du Shui Lings in the past, he only visited him twice a month and was done.
Therefore, Su Jing's small yard turned out to be the cleanest, neatest and strongest among all the houses.
After entering the county seat, I greeted the county magistrate. The county magistrate immediately arranged for Su Wan and his party to live in the county magistrate's mansion, and then sent someone to report to Mr. Su.
When Su Wan came to the County Magistrate's Mansion, he found that the County Magistrate's Mansion was also very shabby. It was a small house with three rooms and looked very old. There were only a few maids and servants to serve it.
The county magistrate's wife was even more simple, dressed in plain clothes, without any decoration on her hair, and even cooked for them herself.
It would take half an hour for Su Jing to ride back to the county. When the yamen reported that his sister and fifth brother had come to visit him and were now living in the county magistrate's house, Su Jing was so pleasantly surprised that he immediately rode back to the county magistrate.
On the way, the smile on Su Jing's face never stopped. Even the soldiers and civilians who built the dam said that it was the first time they saw an adult returning home so actively.
His younger brothers and sisters are here, and this time the adults can go back and rest in peace for a few days.
When Su Wan saw her eldest brother, she cried on the spot.
The eldest brother has become darker and thinner, there is still a layer of stubble on his chin, his shoes are covered in mud, and the mud on the corners of his robe has dried. The eldest brother, who is usually so prosperous, is now looking like this after working hard. How can I not help him? Feeling distressed?
