Years ago, Xie Chengzu had a lot of work and was very busy.

After the Chinese New Year, the mountains and rivers thaw, not only the construction of the city and the opening of the wasteland are imminent, but also the city foundation, city tower, moat, repair and water conservancy also need to be completed, and the outer city area also needs to be planned and calculated.

At this moment, on the desk of the official hall of the garrison, there is a rather large topographic map, a curved thick line across the east and west sides, this one represents the outer city wall that is about to be completed, and a longitudinal line in the north-south direction is the official road avenue that must pass through the inner and outer cities.

Sishu Xiong Tingxian said: "My lord, more than 5,000 refugees from the outer city have been accommodated one after another, of which nearly 1,200 households have been transferred to the military. "During this period of time, just sorting out the household registration of these people made him, a little scribe, turn his back on his back, and even his beard was thinning, and his center was sour, needless to mention.

Then he pointed to the area marked on both sides of the official road, and said: "These people settle down and have to eat, drink and live every day. ”

Ordinary cities are like this, and the commercial land sold is also a lot of money, but Xie Chengzu occupies it, and his desire is extremely strong, not to mention that the people he belongs to must not be touched by outsiders in the slightest, it is a city built by himself, except for the people in the city, no other outsiders are allowed to claim to be the masters in this place.

The original Wei'an City is just that, but the outer city is surrounded by him, but he personally laid the silver two to build with exhaustion of energy, and it has long been his exclusive place, all of them are all-encompassing, and they are very domineering, even if they are not rich in funds, they will never be betrayed lightly, it is the friendship between the Qu family and him, and they only dare to ask for two shops, which is still relying on the friendship of Xie Mu who rescued Xie at the beginning, and it is also the first part of Guard'an, which can be seen.

Therefore, as soon as the secretary mentioned it, he immediately rejected it, and instead of selling the land to those merchants, it was better to open up the land of trade on his own, sign a contract in the future, and collect taxes every year, although he could not obtain a greater return in a short time, but in the long run, it would be a benefit that would always be in his hands as long as the city was there.

It's more than a bargain! It's almost the same as holding a hen that lays eggs, the hen is her own, the eggs are her own, and everything is her own.

Others don't want to get a piece of the pie.

The secretary naturally knew that what the adults said was reasonable, but it was just ......

"Although the treasury bank is sufficient for the time being, it is a lot of expenditure......

Xie Chengzu waved his hand and said: "Since the soil has been moved, the road is also repaired, and the wall is also built, and there is no shortage of a few pieces of commercial land." ”

Xiong Tingxian could only smile bitterly, how could building a city, even if it was just an outer city, be so simple and rude? But he has been following his family for so long, although sometimes he is a word, but he is also a problem-solver and has the ability, otherwise how could he build this difficult city that everyone is hot with the meager strength of one person and the same hundred sergeants when the city treasury is empty.

Fortunately, the number of refugees is sufficient, and as long as we hold out until next autumn, a large area of fertile land will be cultivated, and abundant grain and grass will be harvested, and Guardforce will be able to prosper soon.

Xie Chengzu had already looked at the other markers on the map, which detailed the streets, residential areas, shops, and even the division of Zhuangzi's fertile fields.

Finally, he pointed to the area on the east side near the inner city of Wei'an City, which he remembered as flat and fertile, and asked, "What is the use of this place?" ”

Xiong Tingxian saw the place he pointed to "oh" and said: "This piece of land is a bit complicated, it was originally the private land of several officials and soldiers of Wei'an, and now those people died when the city was broken, and they fled, but it was empty, and it has not been requisitioned, in Xiong's view, this place has a good terrain, not far from the military households in the outer city, the canal is convenient, some people want to buy this land to build a village, plant some seasonal vegetables and fruits, adults, you see......"

As soon as he heard the words vegetables and fruits, Xie Chengzu's heart moved, thinking of the person who was delicate and expensive, he didn't like good fish and meat, he preferred those watery fruits and vegetables, and loved to eat dim sum made of yellow and clear honey fruits and vegetables.

But there are not many fertile fields in Wei'an City, even if a large number of fields are opened, only grain and grass are not as good as others, after all, the stomach is not full, how can there be a mouth to pick and choose, and it is indeed not so convenient to get some things she likes to eat.

Xie Chengzu carefully looked at that area for a long time, the location is attached to the inner city of Guard'an, it is very convenient for cars and horses to enter and exit, if you can build a village yard to transplant some fruit trees, plant some seasonal melons and vegetables, and then dig some storage cellars that can be stored well in winter, and find some people to take care of them, then you can have a steady stream of fresh fruits and vegetables, which can always satisfy the squeamish person.

His heart moved, but Master Xie didn't speak immediately, only paused before saying, "How big is this land?" ”

"Plus the surrounding corners, about 100 acres."

Master Xie nodded and said: "Since it is no one's private land, let's redistribute it, all of you have followed me for a long time, and you have done your best for the security of the city, but there is no foundation in the city, and these hundred acres will be divided according to each person's merits." Then he pointed to the adjacent large area of uncultivated wasteland and said: "This side should also be reclaimed as soon as possible, and it will be reserved for future rewards according to military merits." ”

Only when the foundation is firmly established in the city, will there be a real sense of belonging, and sincerely serve the city, at this point, Xie Chengzu makes good use of it, otherwise there will be no many small generals to follow, and, a few days ago, they were ruthlessly looted from their hands, and everyone complained, and let them share a point of ten acres and eight acres, which can be regarded as appeasement for the time being.

The good land in a good position is really scarce, if not, twenty acres per person can also be, now can only give some sweetness, and then in the future to talk about meritorious deeds, he is never stingy with his own people, will make them satisfied.

Xiong Tingxian was also overjoyed, and when he heard this, he got up and saluted, and said with a smile: "My lord is so compassionate, it is a blessing for us, and I am willing to serve my lord in the future." "That piece of land is a good fertile and fertile land, close to the inner city, only separated by a wall, the price of one acre can be worth several acres of ordinary fertile land, even three acres and five acres of ordinary soldiers have no share, and now it is very rare to be able to get it.

Xie Chengzu waved his hand to avoid useless false courtesy, and then pointed to one of them: "Demarcate this place for more than ten acres, I can use it." ”

Xiong Tingxian comprehended, let alone more than a dozen acres, what if the adults wanted it? Most of this land is the private property of the previous garrison, so it is vacant, and it is justified that the adults will take over.

Xie Chengzu sighed, if he wanted to marry a small girl, how could he use such hard work and throw away the monthly silver to her, enough for her to live, and he didn't have to worry about it like this, but it was a ......

In the eyes of ordinary people, his salary is enough for a few families to eat and clothe themselves, and they are rich and surplus, but on her side, it is not enough for a golden hairpin, and it is probably not enough to keep it by her side in the future, and only one Zhuangzi......

In the future, in addition to official business, he still has to spend some effort on earning money.

In his heart, since it is his own, he will take all the responsibilities, whether it is food, clothing, housing and transportation, or all aspects, even if he is not rich in food and clothing, he will never let her suffer in money.

It's not early, Xiong Tingxian invited the adults to have a meal together, when he came over before, the camp room was steaming buns, and it was not a few days before the New Year, the food was stronger than a day, and the steamed buns were mixed with mixed noodles before, tonight, the white noodles that were really affordable and beneficial, everyone could get three or five.

In the past, adults often mixed with them, eating and living casually, but now, it is how busy, always like an arrow, this is a person with a concern in his heart, and when he is no longer celibate before, even the bed in the garrison house has fallen into ashes.

Sure enough, the adult raised his eyes to look at the sky outside, then drank all the tea in the bowl in one gulp, and left in a hurry through the night.

……

Tan Wanqing looked at the sky and asked people to set the table.

Ruizhu's forgetfulness is fast, and it will be another happy day after wiping her tears, just looking at the things that Miss asked her to toss, she muttered a little: "If you don't eat the best white noodles, how can you eat the nest, Miss's taste is really getting more and more difficult to figure out." ”

"What do you know, now that the days are cold and the nights are long, eating some coarse grains can fill your stomach and reduce the cream."

"Then Miss, you obviously don't like meat, why do you still stuff meat in the nest?" Ruizhu did not believe in the word.

Miss let her make the nest is not the outside of the black mixed noodles nest, soft and chewy, not to say, it is also mixed with the honey that was packed in the three barrels that were moved into the house last time, sweet and delicious, not only that, but she also fried a plate of minced bacon filled with spicy seeds, stuffed in the nest, when the pot started, Miss did not eat, but let the first month eat one, the tongue of the first month was bitten, and it was called too delicious, too delicious.

Rui Zhu pouted, this is embarrassing, I know that it is a nest of food, I don't know what kind of delicious delicacies it should be, if she wants to see the pomp and circumstance of the Danfu banquet back then, I am afraid that her tongue will be eaten.

"Eat wotou with meat to be delicious, and then go to boil a bowl of hot soup......"

Ruizhu had to roll up her sleeves and go out, she watched Miss eat for more than ten years, although Miss also often mixes meat and vegetables, and likes to eat some folk pickled vegetables and sour peppers, but she has never seen such a mix.

But this thing is obviously very popular with the first month, after eating the eyes of the pot, yes, Miss let the steamed pot, the size of the baby fist more than forty, this meal must not be finished, Miss does not eat the next meal, basically every time leftover, are Rui Zhu and the first month eat, the first month has been here for more than half a month, the original skin and bones are now round, looking at her flattering appearance, I know what I am thinking, nothing more than to beg Rui Zhu, can eat the rest of the Miss let her pack a few homes, There are also two younger brothers at home who need to be filled......

A pot of wotou, Ruizhu had to boil the pot of soup again, took a plate of plum blossom cakes that were fried on the fire in the afternoon, fried the fish sticks that Miss loves to eat, rolled four silver sprout rolls to relieve greasy, and finally doughed a side dish of pine cone shrimp, which was considered to be a table.

When Master Xie got off the horse and entered the house, the table was just right, and the time was not bad.

Lord Xie saw the pot of nest head, and was stunned, and waited for his clean hands to give Tan Wanqing a few dishes, before picking up and biting, Fang knew that there was meat in the nest, and there was spicy in the meat, I had never seen such a way of eating, but after eating one, almost two bites in the back, after a while, the basin went down halfway, and he was alone, with a pot of hot and sour soup, that pot was just enough, which showed how good it was.

Looking at the young lady again, the one in her hand has not finished eating, only looking at the adult's eating appearance with a smile, Ruizhu understands, understands that this nest is for whom to fill the stomach and stuff meat for whom, so that who is delicious, no wonder let the first month try it.

After eating and tidying up, Ruizhu and Zhengyue left the room.

As soon as Xie Chengzu saw the person go out, his dark and heavy gaze fell on the face of the woman in front of him, and the displeasure in his eyes was almost overflowing, he didn't move, just stared at her and asked, "How long do you have to think about it." ”

The dowry was given, his parents met, the silver was given, and the New Year was about to pass, when would he wait?

Tan Wanqing pulled his hand around his waist, and his slender waist seemed to be only enough for him to grasp with one hand, and then he pasted the warmth he had thought about for a day, and gently gasped and put the tip of his bright red tongue into his mouth, letting him suck and hold it, until he tightened his hand angrily, and bit the tip of her tender tongue lightly, she said painfully and comfortably, and said vaguely: "Wait, kiss me again......"

Listening to the low wheezing sound in his ears, Xie Chengzu, who was young and old, had already turned red in his neck, and he couldn't help but hug people into his legs, and put the bright red tongue under his tongue to "punish" in every way.

But even though his whole person was already ready to go, he still forced himself to let go of the tip of her fresh tongue with difficulty in a gap, and struggled to distance her from her, his reason told him that he must ask for clarity today, and never let her be so vague again.

However, after pulling it away, he just closed his eyes and gasped for a quick breath to press the vigorous Gu Nian, and then opened his eyes, ready to grab her and ask her clearly, but he saw a piece of alpine snow suddenly pop out in front of him, and he was stunned, and the last bit of reason in his brain collapsed like an avalanche, and he couldn't think of any words he wanted to ask.
