Chapter 32
The river channel construction route of Tianchong City was selected very smoothly.Before digging the canal, first build the channel along the determined route.

Officials forgot to eat and sleep to draw blueprints.The length and width of the river, the style and data of the bridge.

Each item needs to be accurately calculated, taking into account the number of workers and the daily working speed.Estimate the approximate completion date and submit a series of materials.

Zhu Qinghong soaked in piles of materials every day, confirming the details bit by bit.Insufficient places will be sent back to recalculate, and the customs clearance will be more detailed.

In order to ensure the success of digging the canal, she ran the entire route to determine the soil quality and surrounding environment.

How to strengthen the soft soil and how to excavate the rocky ground.Zhu Qinghong discussed with the officials every day until dark.

Fang Youan and Su Rui were not idle either.

They have started to prepare for the construction of the channel for the canal-digging route, and they can start work when the manpower is ready.

Wei Xuanyu is very curious about the crops in the field.

Even if they have specialized people working on improving grain, they have had little effect over the years.The arable land outside Tianchong City was exaggerated again, and there were a few more chicken farms.

Now people can eat eggs in the shop.

It is sold every three days, and each person is limited to buying one.

Sometimes tea eggs, sometimes boiled eggs, smell the aroma from a long distance before they come out of the pan.

The newly reclaimed cultivated land grows new varieties, including winter melon, pumpkin, tomato and other daily vegetables.

Wei Xuanyu used to lament that the weather did not change, and it was really troublesome not to be able to distinguish the four seasons.

Unexpectedly, the balance of temperature has such benefits for crops, and they can be planted all year round.

Su Rui smiled and handed out a freshly baked boiled corn: "Try it, it's very sweet. I can eat three or four in one meal."

Wei Xuanyu took it, seeing her bite her and imitate her.

The unique sweetness of corn rippling in the mouth, endless aftertaste.

"It's just that when you catch up with the good times, you just cooked a batch." Su Rui gnawed on the corn like a mouse, "I won't be able to eat it a few days later."

"Good luck." Wei Xuanyu smiled, "Miss Su, I heard that there is a chicken coop. Can you show me?"

"Go." Su Rui led the way.

He followed immediately.

Fang Ye is leading people to build new chicken coops and fences over there, watching them come and go over there.

"Miss Su, who is this?" Fang Ye cupped his hands generously.The first time he saw Wei Xuanyu, he was curious about her identity.

"Young Master Wei Xuan Yuwei, the military advisor of Haocheng." Su Rui briefly introduced them, "Fang Ye. He will take care of the chicken coop."

The two saluted each other with fists in their hands, and said a few polite words.

Fang Ye led them to look at the chicken coop: "Nowadays we can pick up a lot of eggs. A batch of chickens have been hatched, and the city lord gave us to raise them. When the chickens are raised, maybe everyone can eat eggs at once."

"It's definitely possible." Wei Xuanyu and Su Rui looked at each other and smiled.The wishes of the people are always so simple.

After looking at the chicken coop, Su Rui took Wei Xuanyu around.At this time, Wei Zhou and his party finished their work and returned to the city.

There is not enough manpower in the city, and they can only start the work of building passages when they come back.A group of men saw Su Rui walking with a man from a distance, smiling like flowers.

"Which family's young master? Look at how handsome he looks, and his whole body."

"What a pair of golden boy and jade girl. Miss Su is sixteen years old, which is the age to discuss marriage. It is estimated that their happy event will be imminent."

"Who says it's not. The beauty of a man and woman makes others envious. We can only look at it occasionally."

Men, I regret every word you say.

Only Leng Yi's eyes were tearing apart, staring at the two talking and laughing in the distance, extremely angry.

Tieniu was startled by his expression and ran away quickly.The people who worked together actually noticed the changes in Leng Yi.

They didn't know why, but they just wanted to stop meddling in their own business and set themselves on fire.

Seeing Miss Su walking with other people now, Leng Yi's appearance was obviously caused by love and hatred, and he was dazed.

I hope he can figure it out and live a good life.

Wei Zhou returned to the city lord's mansion to report.Zhu Qinghong gave them a few days off and continued to work after a good rest.

"Yes." Wei Zhou took the order to step back, passing Yuan You who was coming in.The two nodded to each other.

"City Lord." Yuanyou saluted and handed over the account book, "The New Year's Eve is coming soon. How does the City Lord plan to live?"

"New Year's Day?" Regardless of modern or ancient times, Chinese New Year is a big festival.Not to mention the universal celebration, at least have a holiday.

The temperature does not change throughout the year, and the New Year is not so obvious after all.Zhu Qinghong thought about it, some of the work done by the people in the city can be given a holiday, and some cannot be separated from others.It seems that specific holiday matters will be introduced, and the adjustment system will be adopted for those who are inconvenient to have a holiday.

Now the preparations for digging the canal are in full swing, and many officials are busy.

Can't take a long vacation.

At the critical moment of the city's development, a few days off for the New Year.I will plan the holidays in the future, so that busy people can take a breather.

There is still half a month before the New Year.

Zhu Qinghong sent people to post specific holiday notices and explain the work that must be completed before the holiday.

In order to have a holiday, many people worked hard.

Several people asked their superiors if they were on vacation.

All the embroiderers who weaved and sewed clothes were given a holiday, as were the men who were rebuilding the city and most of the soldiers.

Grain shops and chicken coops are inseparable from people's work, so don't let them go.The boss told them not to be discouraged, saying that they could take time off later, just say hello in advance.

Hearing that you can take a rest, the people finally have a smile on their faces.Now everyone's wages have risen a bit, and many people have saved some money.

Have a good new year and be happy.After the money is spent, earn it after a year, and enjoy a good holiday.

There are cloth shops on the main street, and the women go to tear the cloth and go home to make new clothes.

Wear new clothes and celebrate the New Year to look good.

Men without wives are either reluctant to part with money, or spend it on food, and don't care about clothing.

The woman, Mrs. Liu, tore the cloth and went home to measure for her man.The man's surname is Tao, and his lineage is five.

He put his arms around Liu Shi and smiled happily.

She lowered her eyes and smiled shyly, and beat Tao Wu's chest with her fist.The husband and wife are loving, but they have not had children for many years, which is a pity.

another house.

The woman with her hair in a bun was mending clothes while teasing the children crawling around on the bed.

Her name is Dong Shuang, with a smile on her lips and gentle eyes.

When I first opened up wasteland, I carried my children on my back to do work every day.She was very grateful that she didn't suffer any embarrassment.

Nowadays, the days are getting better and better, and the child who was thin and seemed to die at any time has become white and fat.

Dong Shuang put down the needle and thread in his hand, and hugged the child to learn to walk.The child is very smart and loves to walk.Even if Dong Shuang lets go, he can still take a few steps.

Seeing that the child was about to fall, she quickly caught it.The child giggled and put his little hands on her face.Dong Shuang grabbed the child's hand and kissed it, with tears in his eyes.

As soon as the child was born, the husband died at the mouth of a demon.She thought she and her child would not live long.

Unexpectedly, a good day finally ushered in.Dong Shuang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and rubbed the child's tender face.

It's good to be alive.

Work in the evening.A group of bachelors chatted with their friends, looking for a clean place to brag.

Even if we talked nonsense, we had a good time chatting.

"What are you going to do during the holiday? There are no wives at home. No work, just squat at home and stare?"

"Let's take a rest. Take the opportunity to look at each other and find a wife to go home. You are living with a wife and children."

"There are so many monks and so little meat. There are only a few women without husbands. How many people rob. Tie Niu, don't you fancy that widow?"

Tie Niu chuckled: "With our current conditions, it would be a high incense to be seen by widows. What else can we choose?"

"I didn't pick her. Brother, if you like her, we don't have the nerve to snatch her. How about we match her up for you?"

"Brothers can become one. Anyway, we are not all bachelors. Are we?"

"Yes." The big guy booed.

They had seen the widow, who was good-looking and hard-working.It's not easy for a woman to have a baby.

Sometimes it helps to work together.

It has been seen that Tieniu has taken a fancy to it, so why don't they lend a hand more to make good things come true?
Tieniu is grateful to his brothers.

What he likes is his business, and it also depends on whether others are willing or not.You can't use force.

"Isn't it going to be a holiday soon? Tieniu, don't you hang out with her a lot? Feelings come out of it."

"The vacation is over, and we have to leave the city to work again. Who knows when we will come back. If you don't hurry up, you will be snatched away."

The crowd burst into laughter.

Tieniu only said that he would work hard, which caused a lot of jokes.

On the way back, he passed by the widow's house and saw that the light inside was still on.

Willing to talk, but afraid of disturbing others.

After thinking and thinking, he turned and prepared to leave.

The door creaked open.Seeing him, Dong Shuang couldn't help saying, "Brother Tieniu, you're back."

"Hey." Tieniu responded happily, and turned to look at her, "Sister Dong Shuang hasn't slept yet? It's getting late."

"Just put the child to sleep." Dong Shuang pursed his lips and said with concern, "It's a bit cold at night. Brother Tie Niu pay attention to your body."

"I will." Tieniu was rather embarrassed.

Dong Shuang smiled and planned to go back to the house.

It's getting late, it's time to rest.

"Sister Dong Shuang." Tieniu hastily called her to stop, and seeing her turn around, he said nervously, "Are you free during the annual vacation? I, I want to go shopping with you. I know you have to take care of the children, so you will definitely not be able to leave It doesn't matter, just take the children with you."

Dong Shuang clenched her hands and smiled shyly: "If you take the children with you, I do have time. See you then."

After speaking, she went back to the house and closed the door.

The Tieniu outside was laughing foolishly, jumping up for joy.Sister Dong Shuang agreed to him.

There are no stars and no moon in the sky, and the lanterns on the street are dim.Tie Niu was in full bloom, and everything he saw was pleasing to the eye.

He went home humming.

City Lord's Mansion.

Zhu Qinghong rubbed his forehead, his eyes were dazzled from reading the documents.Even if Ono has scanned it, circle the unreasonable points with a red pen.

When the whole paper turned red, she couldn't see the original content clearly.A lot of information needs to be rearranged and suggestions for improvement should be put forward.

You can't say it all at once, you have to ask questions one by one.

Seriously, how tiring it must be.

But after all, it's not her who will work then.

Don't break it up and let the officials below understand that it will be more troublesome to deal with the aftermath of mistakes.

[Master, is there a banquet for the New Year?What dishes are you preparing?Can't make it to the Manchu banquet? 】

"..." Zhu Qinghong waved his hand, "We have a banquet just now, and another banquet? No, let everyone have a good rest."

[If you don’t celebrate, how can you feel the joy of the New Year.Is the master sure not to consider it anymore? 】

"Make a show, eat whatever you want." Zhu Qinghong had no interest in it, "Don't be extravagant."
