Tell Cheng Xi what you need, and he will send someone to the workshop to find someone.

If she asks for it, the government will definitely take care of her, and that would be meaningless.

One size is one size.

Since she wanted to set up a trusteeship, she wanted to bear the initial costs herself.As for whoever is kind enough to donate something later, that's another matter.

An hour later, the young man Ji Yuan came back with the drawings stamped with the workshop's seal.

As long as you strictly follow the drawings during construction, nothing will happen.Even if something happens, the workshop will be responsible for it.

"This was painted by Ding Dianli himself. He heard that we were going to build Ji Shan Tang, and the money was reduced by half. This is what's left."

The workshop produces drawings, no matter how big or small, for 20 taels of silver.Most people who want to build a house will definitely not go to the yamen to find a building. Most of the people looking for a building are doing business. After all, they are afraid of taking responsibility.

It has to be said that since Li Hui took these people in, the government's handling style has become significantly smoother and gentler.

Give the drawings to Jiyuan, and he will be responsible for finding craftsmen for construction.

"...I have only two requirements for you. First, do it strictly according to the drawings. Second, complete the project within a month. I don't care how many people you find, just ask for what you need. If you don't understand, go to Butler Tiandong. You can finish it in a month and reuse it later. If not, keep sweeping the backyard."

"Yes, I obey." Ji Yuan happily handed over his hands, folded the drawings and rushed out happily.

Bai Wei walked up behind Cheng Xue and said while squeezing her shoulders:

"Ma'am, you can just trust him so much? He just got home not long ago."

Cheng Xue put down the tea cup with a smile, shook her neck twice, and said:
"Go and let Cheng Xi keep an eye on it secretly. As long as nothing goes wrong, you don't have to show up."

"Yes."

Bai Wei took the order and went out, while Cheng Xue got up and went to Li Yue's yard.The wedding dress has not been embroidered yet, so she has been helping with the threading in the past few days.

A few days later, a letter came from Xiao Qinglin in the capital.

The letter told her that the third prince, Yan Mu, had left the city and would arrive at the northern state capital soon.

As for the reason for coming to the north, she was shocked. It was the emperor who sent the third prince to eat green tea.

Well, the royal family really knew how to play, she was really impressed.

He told Tiandong to train the servants in the house well in the past few days and not to rush into the nobles when the third prince came to visit.

As the temperature rises day by day, the temperature outside is okay, but the temperature inside the room is not.

In order to keep the house warm in the north, the sheds are generally low.It's stuffy and hot to sleep at night, and it's not as cool as outside.

Cheng Xue was worried about the lack of water in the fields, so she took Li Yue and Li Tian out of the city by car to have a look.

The cornfields were fine, but the vegetable fields were starting to wilt.

The beans, cucumbers, cabbage, etc. that I planted are no longer very long.

This situation also exists in Wanghe Village. Basically every household just carries water to irrigate the fields.

Before going to bed that night, Cheng Xue mentioned the matter to Li Hui.

"...I know you are busy, but the vegetable fields really need to be watered. There are not many vegetables that can be eaten in winter in Liaodong and the north. If you can dry some shredded beans, cucumbers, etc., there will be more vegetables to eat in winter. .”

Li Hui sat up with a "hmm", and Cheng Xue also stood up in confusion.

"What's wrong? It's too hot and you can't sleep?"

"No." Li Hui shook his head, lit the candle, and pulled the Kang table over.

"The hot weather can easily make people impatient, especially over there in Wutanxia, ​​where there are often fights and fights. Since they are so free, I will find something for them to do."

"You mean... let them carry water to water the vegetable fields?"

Li Hui nodded with a smile, took the ink stick and polished it and said:
"Instead of wasting your energy on fighting, it's better to let them do something serious, lest someone doesn't handle it well and be accused of discriminating against them."

Fights have been common recently. The last time she went to the government office to deliver mung bean soup to relieve summer heat, she heard Liu Yuliang complain.

Cheng Xue agreed and spread the cut rice paper on the table, took the ink block in his hand and helped to polish the ink.

"Construction has already started on the alley in the north of the city. I asked Jiyuan to keep an eye on it and it will be completed within a month."

"Just make arrangements. The government will provide subsidies when the time comes. I have already prepared the money in advance." Li Hui responded without raising his head.

The elderly and children in each county have been collected.Children under seven years old and the elderly live in Jishan Hall.Children over the age of ten are taken away from the military camp and can serve as soldiers or as apprentices to military doctors.

Children between the ages of seven and ten are sent to school. It doesn’t matter what they learn. If they really can’t learn it, it’s good if they can recognize words.Carpenters, masons, bricklayers, etc. all need apprentices and can find ways out.

Cheng Xue waited for him to put down his pen and continued:

"In the early stage, the money does not need to come out of the government office. The medicine hall will be enough. In the later stage, food and clothes will definitely need help from the government office. I also want to make room for the notice board, in case there is any If a store donates something and writes a thank-you note and posts it, it can be considered a kind of feedback.”

In the final analysis, it is to encourage businessmen to pay more attention to the children of Jishantang.

Li Hui agreed with this idea. He said "hmm" and took another piece of paper to record what she just said.I don’t know what’s wrong, but he’s been a little forgetful recently. In order to prevent this problem, he always writes down what he needs to do on paper to avoid making mistakes.

Cheng Xue couldn't help laughing after reading the punishment terms.It clearly states that if no one is caught who offends again, the one who was punished last time will continue to water until someone takes over.

It turns out to be Mr. Li, he is so wilted!
"Qinglin sent a letter saying that the third prince is coming, but why hasn't he come yet? Didn't you send someone to ask?"

"It's not my son, why should I ask?"

Li Hui responded disapprovingly, then packed up his things and lay down again.

"By the way, when will your Qingshui Branch open? I'm going to entertain the Third Prince there."

"Then I will open the restaurant a few days later and finish entertaining you."

"You want to borrow the strength of the Third Prince?"

Cheng Xue smiled and said "hmm" heavily, looking forward to it.

"If everything goes well, let him leave a calligraphy treasure for Qingshui Xing, which will improve his level."

It would be even better if he could become the prince.But she didn't say this. Some things can be said, but some things must not be said.

"If you want to improve your quality, Pang Lao's handwriting is enough. Didn't I give you a few calligraphy and paintings years ago? Just hang them up."

"I also want to keep some for my two daughters as dowries." Cheng Xue refused.

Although Qingshuihang is a place where people bathe, she prepared it particularly elegantly this time.There is no distinction between front and back. The front is equivalent to a public bathhouse in Northeast China, and the back is a steaming resort.The two places are separate and do not disturb each other.

Li Hui saw that she favored girls over boys, put one hand behind her head and said:
"You always talk about 'dowry', how much do you plan to pay as 'bride price'?"

"Why are you so anxious? How old is Li Heng? I'm planning to wait until he is 20 years old."

If possible, 24 and [-] will be possible, but Pang Yao must be considered.

The two of them chatted and reached the same topic. Even the hot weather could not stop Li Hui's enthusiasm. Cheng Xue also had a face full of enjoyment...
