Chapter 591 How to Repair the Canal (for Summer

　　At this time, Shen Qingqian was in the small valley, and Wu and others were all worried.

　　Old Mrs. Chen was so anxious that two big bubbles appeared at the corners of her mouth. "The stream is almost gone. What will happen to the crops in the fields?"

　　Their family now depends entirely on the output from the land for their livelihood. If something goes wrong, won't they starve?

　　"Yes, how can God be so unreasonable? It was fine a few days ago, but now it's suddenly so hot that it's killing people. Are we just going to watch this creek disappear?" Old Mrs. Wang was also very anxious.

　　The Wang family was not a diligent family to begin with. Although they became more diligent later on because of everyone else’s encouragement, that was only compared to the past. For example, this time, other families had watered the fields a few days ago, but they delayed for a few days, and ended up having almost no water to irrigate the fields!

　　Shen Qingqian looked towards the source of the stream and could only vaguely see the mountain peaks towering into the clouds in the distance.

　　When they came last year, the creek was also dry, but heavy rain fell shortly afterwards and the creek has been flowing ever since.

　　"It's only been a few days. If it doesn't rain in a few days, we're afraid..." Liang sighed with a worried look on her face.

　　The weather this year is really weird. Just after the Chinese New Year, everyone thought that this year would be a good year with good weather and good harvests. Now it seems that is really wishful thinking.

　　Shen Qingqian didn't say anything.

　　Human beings are too small in front of nature. Even if she knows how to create artificial rain, it can only happen under specific circumstances and let the people nearby benefit from it. There is no way around Linshuigou.

　　Just then, someone came galloping over on horseback.

　　"Ouch"

　　When they got closer, everyone realized that it was Ling Yun.

　　He dismounted swiftly and strode into the valley.

　　"Sixth Miss, the general wants you to come over." Ling Yun said with a smile.

　　Shen Qingqian looked behind him. Well, even the horse was ready.

　　"Uncle, what do you want to talk to me about?" Shen Qingqian asked as she followed him.

　　Ling Yun shook his head, "I don't know about that."

　　He knew something about it, but it was not convenient to tell her at this moment.

　　The two of them soon arrived at the army.

　　Liang Cheng saw her coming and waved to her, "Come here, girl, come and take a look. If we want to repair the canal, how should we repair it best?"

　　Shen Qingqian felt like she had come to the wrong place, and said speechlessly: "Uncle, shouldn't someone from the Ministry of Industry take a look at this?"

Of course, the imperial court’s Ministry of Works also had an office in northern Hubei, and Zhang Zhiyao was in charge of those matters.

　　"No matter who should do it, you tell me what you think first." Liang Cheng was determined to hear Shen Qingqian's thoughts.

　　Shen Qingqian looked at Sheng Ze who was standing there without saying anything, and Zheng Shicheng who was smiling at her. She was confused. Wasn't it said that women were not allowed to participate in these things?
