Chapter 396: do it yourself

Chapter 396 Do it yourself

At first, everyone didn't quite believe Su Ying's words, because they couldn't imagine how the mother of a country would blow up Shishan.

Ke went to the foot of the stone mountain with Su Ying, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak when he saw the scattered boulders falling on the ground.

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and do it."

Everyone followed the sound and saw Su Ying walking forward holding a boulder that was much heavier than her.

All the people felt that they must be dazzled, they must be, otherwise how could a woman lift such a huge stone effortlessly?

Su Ying ignored them, and directly moved the boulders to the delivery cart. After filling the boulders, let someone push them.

However, she found that it was too slow to pull these boulders by manpower, and animals had to be used.

Su Ying called the responsible official over.

"You send people to go down the mountain and borrow all the ox carts and livestock that can be used. You can borrow ten copper coins a day, and you will give the money when you are done. Go quickly."

The little official also saw that it was no joke that Su Ying asked to fill the diversion port, so he immediately went to find someone to find an animal after getting the order.

In the blink of an eye, there was a bean-heavy rain from the sky, and the rain gradually became heavier, forming a rain curtain that made everyone's eyes hard to open.

Su Ying frowned and said to the workers who were still moving the stones: "If you have physical problems, go to the stone pit in front to hide from the rain, and if you can still move, continue to move for me."

Hearing what Su Ying said, some workers looked for places to rest one after another, and they couldn't do it normally when it rained so heavily.

But after they sat down, they saw Su Ying's figure had no intention of stopping.

The bean-heavy rainwater hit Su Ying's body and soaked her robe, but she didn't even blink her eyelids.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that the noble mother of a country would move stones with poor people like them in this ghost place.

"Empress Empress did not stop, where did we come to face rest."

"That's right, go, move the stone."

Gradually, those workers who went to rest stood up and continued to carry.

Su Ying is not aware of the changes in the mood of the workers. She just feels that compared with those workers, her work efficiency is higher, so she is even more unwilling to stop. She just wants to block the diversion port as soon as possible to avoid future troubles.

Because of the rain, it got dark very quickly, and the torch couldn't be lit, and the surrounding became pitch black.

Seeing that Su Ying was still moving the stones, the little official who came back from pulling the animals stepped forward in the rain and said, "Madam, it's getting dark now, why don't you go down the mountain to rest first, the big stones here are handed over to the little ones." Just come and move."

Su Ying shook her head, "The heavier the rain and the longer the time, the faster the water will flow, and the greater the upstream pressure will be. Even if you don't sleep, you must block the opening in the shortest possible time."

The little official looked at Su Ying's resolute eyebrows, and felt a strange emotion in his heart.

Queens don't rest, so what right do they have to complain about suffering and tiredness. "Everyone listen, if you can't bear it, go home first, and if you can bear it, stay and continue working."

The workers were all touched by Su Ying's actions, and no one left at this time.

Su Ying has great strength, so she is mainly responsible for lifting the boulders that the workers cannot lift to the cart, and the rest use animals to pull the boulders over and pour them into the water.

The people in the village at the foot of the mountain heard that the Queen Empress came down to move the stones in person, so they ran to the mountain to watch the excitement before dawn.

In their only knowledge, how could such a noble person as the queen appear in this remote village, let alone follow the workers to move stones.

"Your Majesty, you have been working for a day and a night, why don't you take a rest, the people in the village know that you are here and brought you breakfast early in the morning, you should go and eat some." The little official looked at Su Ying's eyes. All red.

Su Ying saw that a lot of rocks had been moved away, so she stopped and walked towards the mountain pit to hide from the rain.

"See Empress Empress, see Empress Empress."

As soon as Su Ying appeared, the people waiting there knelt down and kowtowed to Su Ying.

Su Ying frowned slightly, "Get up, the roads in the mountains are muddy, if you don't come to move stones, go back, so as not to cause accidents in the mountains."

"It's really the empress, this is really the empress, she was born like a fairy."

"You are bold, you can see the queen's Fengyan."

The villagers talked a lot.

The little official handed over the dry food brought by the villagers to Su Ying, "Madam, we don't have any good things in this place, so you can make do with it first."

The villagers sent some corn tortillas, and a bowl of boiled eggs. No one touched the bowl of eggs, and everyone ate corn tortillas.

Although Su Ying was raised by He Shouyi to be a bit tricky, she never disliked the food that could be eaten.

"Eat more, if you don't have enough, let someone bring it up. Only when you are full can you work hard."

"yes."

Su Ying took a bite of the pancakes. The cornmeal was still delicate and tasted so smooth that she ate the whole basket of corn pancakes, and stood up after eating a few more eggs.

"Your Majesty, why don't you rest for a while?"

Su Ying waved her hand nonchalantly, "Hurry up."

When Su Ying pulled the bullock cart and poured a cart of rocks into the diversion port, he took a bamboo pole from the side and stretched it down to check the situation.

"How deep was the diversion hole dug?"

"About two feet."

Two feet, according to the current size ratio, it is about six to seven meters high. The rocks moved last night are far from enough, and the bottom is filled up to this extent at most.

"Go back and continue moving, don't stop on the side of the mud, the stones will fall down together with the mud."

"yes."

The petty official went to a nearby village to find a lot of workers. Now they can't farm the land in this season, and it is difficult to find work in the city. Now they can do it for ten copper coins a day. The people in the village followed without any hesitation. coming.

With more people, the efficiency of the landfill will be higher. For three days, Su Ying moved the rocks here with everyone, until the rocks blown out by her were almost moved, and this matter was considered Seeing results.

Standing on the side of the diversion outlet, you can already vaguely see the stones in the water, but due to the intermittent heavy rain these days, more water has come down from the mountain.

"Young lady, the rocks here have been moved almost, do you want to get some more, what do you think is the best way to fill in this hole?"

Su Ying frowned and said: "The impact of the mountain torrent is very strong. Not only must the stone be filled higher, but the foundation below must also be filled more firmly. It should be almost done after two days of filling. Look elsewhere for a suitable stone mountain."

"Yes, yes, but the rock blasting mountain is too dangerous, why don't you let the younger ones go?"
