Once you become a boy, marry a good man, and become rich together

Chapter 267 A timely rain

Jiang Ci curled up on the sofa, reading a sketchbook, eating dried fruits and listening to the sound of rain hitting the window outside.

I put the storybook and dried fruits on the table, put on my slippers and went to the door.

Fortunately, a corridor was added in front of the house, otherwise, with such heavy rain, if he hadn’t closed the door, the rain would have come into the house.

This was the first real rain since we planted corn. It rained a few times before and it looked like it was going to rain heavily, but the wind blew away the dark clouds and only a drizzle fell that wet the ground.

The land was about to become dry and some families were thinking about watering the fields, but suddenly it rained heavily.

It was as if God heard people’s requests and suddenly sent down a timely rain.

But this is not the case in some places.

The heavy rain that had been falling all night finally stopped. As soon as I walked out of the house, I could hear the sound of frogs croaking everywhere.

As Jiang Ci walked to the pavilion, a servant was walking towards him.

"Boss, this is a letter sent from the town compound."

Without thinking, he knew that this was the letter Wen Yuting sent to him.

Jiang Ci sat in the pavilion and opened the letter and started reading it. The smile on her face gradually faded and turned into a frown.

At that time, Xiaoli jumped onto the table and rubbed against his hands.

Jiang Ci put the letter aside, hugged Xiao Li and rubbed him hard.

"We need to pluck out all the hair on its head."

Jiang Ci looked at Lin Jingsheng who was sitting next to him, "Why are you walking without making any sound?"

"You were too absorbed in petting the cat."

Lin Jingsheng said he wanted to stroke the cat until it was bald, and he even rubbed Xiaoli's head twice.

Xiaoli and the other two were frightened by the touch, so they found a gap and slipped away.

"Let me show you this."

He handed the letter aside to Lin Jingsheng.

After reading the letter, Lin Jingsheng frowned.

Then he hesitated and asked, "Aci, do you have any ideas?"

Wen Yu heard at the end of the letter that several northern states are suffering from drought now, and wanted to ask Jiang Ci if there is any better way to solve the problem of farmland irrigation.

When writing these words, Wen Yuting thought for a long time before putting pen to paper.

After writing it, he read it again and again. He knew that he should not place his hopes for managing farmland irrigation on Jiang Ci. He had no obligation to do this, but he still couldn't help thinking that Brother Ci knew so many things, what if he also knew about farmland irrigation.

"In ancient times, there was a thing called a dragon-bone cart that was used to help crops resist drought. It played a big role in helping people irrigate.

But it is no longer needed in our time. Although it is no longer needed, there are more advanced and simpler keel carriages.

I have never tried it before, I only know the steps, and I don’t think it is possible for me to make it myself.”

Lin Jingsheng touched Jiang Ci's hair and said, "Don't feel pressured, Aci. If you can do it, everyone will be happy. If you can't do it, it's understandable."

"Of course I know this, don't worry."

Jiang Ci didn't think of taking on the entire task of making the keel car directly. He knew that his abilities were limited, and it would be better to leave those things to professionals.

Moreover, two years had passed since he last observed and analyzed the structure of the keel car, and he could no longer remember some details.

Jiang Ci put down the last stroke in the small study on the second floor, put down the brush and stretched.

I turned around and looked at Lin Jingsheng, who was sitting on the sofa, holding Xiaoli in his arms and reading a book.

Jiang Ci immediately went over and snuggled beside him.

"Ah Sheng, do you think I should send the detailed steps and precautions for making the keel car to Wen Yuting and let him find someone to do it? Or should I ask Wen Yuting to find two talented people from the engineering department and have them come here to make it? In this way, I can provide on-site guidance and discuss the parts that I don't write very clearly."

Jiang Ci asked this because he already had an idea in his mind, but was still hesitating. At this time, he needed a voice of affirmation to push him forward.

"I feel the latter is better. If it's the former, if there's a problem on his side, it will take a lot of time to send messages back and forth between the two sides, but the drought-stricken crops can't wait."

"Okay, then I'll write a letter to Wen Yuting right away."

Jiang Ci simply wrote a few lines to explain the whole story, then put the steps he had previously written for making a dragon-bone carriage into an envelope and had someone deliver it to the escort agency.

Now the two of them are leisurely eating fruits in the living room.

Jiang Ci leaned on Lin Jingsheng's shoulder, waiting to eat the grapes that Lin Jingsheng had peeled.

“Let me tell you, although we didn’t need keel carts at that time, I have seen a smaller version. There was a family in our village who made money outside and built a very quaint little villa back in the village. They built a keel cart water feature in the yard, which was very beautiful.

But I can hardly imagine how spectacular it would be to have a keel cart built for irrigation standing in the fields.”

When Wen Yu heard that the person on the other end had received the letter, he immediately sent two people over day and night.

Jiang Ci also had the guest rooms cleaned up in advance. It seemed to be a wise move to have two more rooms cleaned up.

There were four of them in total. From the letter Wen Yu heard and their introductions, Jiang Ci learned that two of them were selected by the prince, and the other two were their capable assistants.

There was a young man named Qi Yuanshan, who was not even thirty years old.

But judging from his reaction when he saw Lin Jingsheng, he obviously knew Lin Jingsheng. It seems that there are quite a few people in Beijing who know Lin Jingsheng.

Although Jiang Ci had heard a lot about people in Beijing's understanding and evaluation of Lin Jingsheng, he still felt that he was very far away from him, and what they said about Lin Jingsheng was not real.

The other one is a little old man with gray hair, but he looks very energetic. His name is Zheng Ying.

The two assistants standing behind them were both strong middle-aged men.

Take them to their residence, let them rest, and talk again tomorrow.

They were all very tired indeed. They travelled day and night and managed to shorten the journey by one third.

The villagers were only curious about the two strange carriages and a few strangers who came to Jiangci for a day, but when they didn't get any interesting answers, they stopped paying attention to them.

Instead, he focused his attention on the flowers and plants planted on the roadside near his home.

The soil excavated before compacting the road surface was piled up next to the wall. After the road surface was repaired, the soil was filled in and filled to a level almost as high as the road.

Ever since the cement road was renovated, people have been coming to their village to take a look. Jiang Ci looked at the bare roadsides on both sides of the road and suggested that everyone plant beautiful flowers and plants on both sides of their homes.

It was originally just an insignificant suggestion, but the whole village did as it was said.

In the past few days, flowers and plants brought from the mountain town have been planted on both sides of the village gate.

Some people are still planning to wait for the right season for planting trees next year and transplant two flowering trees so that when they bloom, they will be the most beautiful in front of their homes. But he is not the only one who thinks so.

One can imagine how beautiful the scenery on both sides of the road will be next spring.
