Chapter 294: Mirror Garden

Jiang Rong said: "You don't have to worry about this, let's go our separate ways." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I'm in charge of everything in the mirror garden, you are in charge of buying snow and selling porridge, and in addition, you go back and sort out all these methods, write them in an orderly manner, and then take them to my grandfather and his old man's house to see, and get his consent.

"If my grandfather has no opinion, I have to say hello to King Yong's Mansion and talk to others about cooperation, Mirror Garden is so big, can King Yong watch our family swallow it alone? I will also write a detailed plan for the construction of the Mirror Garden, and you can take it to negotiate with King Yong when the time comes. ”

"Well, it's all up to our little cousin." Li Changyuan took the outline of the plan and left happily.

The next day, notices were posted in front of the Zhenguo Mansion and in front of the Yongwang Mansion, and the crowd was in an uproar after reading it.

"What? Buying snow? Is there such a thing? This and this are incredible, right? ”

"Isn't the snow everywhere? Do you still need to buy it? What are you going to do in Zhenguo Mansion and Yongwang Mansion? ”

"Is this true? Ten pounds of snow can be sold for a penny? And this kind of good thing? Is it possible to fall into the pie in the sky? ”

"This town and the government have posted notices, is there any fake? Could it be that Grandpa Guo will deceive us little people? ”

"But I still can't believe it."

"What's there to believe? Let's go back and pick up a load of snow to see if the Guogong Mansion collects it, and it doesn't cost money anyway. ”

"That's right, hurry up, hurry up, shovel snow!"

"If it's true, then we'll be saved! Snow can be exchanged for silver, and you can also buy food and quilts from the Guogong Mansion and the Yongwang Mansion, now we can all be saved! ”

Everyone moved one after another, and after a while, an old man came to the street in front of the Guogong Mansion with a load of snow, but he was a little hesitant and didn't dare to go over.

Is there really a good thing about exchanging snow for money?

Li Changyuan was gearing up to do a big job, and when he saw the figure of his father-in-law, he immediately stepped forward enthusiastically and said, "Uncle, are you here to sell snow?" Come, come over here. ”

He said to Li Ke, the little guy who was in charge of weighing the snow: "Hurry up, why are you still stunned?" Quickly tell this old man how many catties of snow he has, and count the money for others. ”

Li Ke hurriedly stepped forward and took the bamboo basket in the old man's hand, weighed it down, a total of fifty-eight catties and six taels, and calculated it for him, which was sixty catties, and according to the price of ten catties and one penny, the old man's income was six cents.

Li Changyuan immediately grabbed a handful of copper coins from the bamboo basket next to him, stuffed it to the old man, and said, "Old man, take it well!" ”

The old man left here with six cents, and suddenly woke up halfway, didn't he? Is this money so easy to come by? He looked at the six cents in his hand and couldn't believe it.

You know, even his eldest son, it was rare to earn so much money in a day in the past!

Now he can get so much money by shoveling a load of snow everywhere, which is not a great joy from heaven!

The old man immediately felt that his legs were no longer shivering, his body was not cold, the whole person was steaming, looking at the white snow in his eyes, he felt no longer cold, but hope!

These are all white flowers!

"I have to go back and tell Shuwen that if I have money, I don't have to worry about anything...... Hey, the Guogong Mansion is really a great good person! ”

In one successful example, the others came running to hear the wind, each carrying a load of white snow on their shoulders, interspersed with many old people and children, who had little strength, and carried them in wooden barrels, which were also full of snow.

As soon as there were many people, it seemed a little chaotic, Li Changyuan stood on the steps with his hands in his hands, and said loudly: "Don't squeeze, come one by one, they are all lined up!" ”

The sons of the Guogong Mansion have spoken, where do the people dare not listen? What's more, there are several guards next to him, and a tall horse is terrifying, which makes people feel worried when they look at it.

When the order was good, the action was faster, and Li Ke and several other servants acted separately, each led a team, and weighed it neatly in their hands.

After weighing the count, Li Zhen, the steward standing next to the copper coin basket, had already calculated the money in his heart, and when he grabbed it, he accurately grabbed the money that should be paid.

The people really got the money, and they were all excited and excited.

Less than half a mile away, there was a row of makeshift shacks, three of them, one of which was boiling hot porridge and the flames were constantly burning. One has a large pile of cotton clothes and quilts underneath. The other one is full of firewood.

The people who got the money immediately rushed here, ate a penny and a bowl of porridge, and the whole person felt alive!

Cotton clothes and quilts are cheap, you can take them away for only 20 yuan a piece, and you only need to pick 200 catties of snow to buy them.

Chai He is even more like a free gift, such a big bundle, as long as three pennies!

After one pot of porridge was finished, I immediately washed the rice and replaced it with another pot and began to cook. The quilts and firewood were also reduced, but soon a large number of supplies were carried out of the Guogong Mansion and the shed was filled again.

The same is true for the Yongwang Mansion.

Looking at these things, the people are all happy and happy, in this way, who is worried about no food, no clothing, no firewood?

As long as you are willing to do it, you have it!

The people were suddenly full of energy, and there was a lot of enthusiasm inside and outside the city.

There are several large wooden barrels standing in front of the Zhenguo Mansion, the kind used for bathing, one bucket can hold hundreds of kilograms of snow, whenever one is full, Li Changyuan quickly asks people to send it to Jinghu outside the city.

At this time, the construction of Jinghu has begun, and the workers and materials are in place, just waiting to start.

Jiang Rong summoned all the jade craftsmen who had accumulated years from the jade shop under her door to carry out the work of ice and snow carving.

Ice and snow are much easier and faster to carve than jade.

Even if they haven't carved before, those masters with a high level are familiar with it for a while, and they will quickly get started, and the carved works are vivid and presentable! made Jiang Rong look at it and praise it.

In order to catch up with the schedule, she wrote to her father-in-law and mother-in-law in Danyang County, and borrowed a lot of jade masters from them.

In less than a day, the Animal Family was completed!

The animal family covers an area of 10 acres, and it is lined with all kinds of animals carved from ice and snow, such as tigers, wolves, lions, cats, dogs, all kinds of birds, and so on.

There are also various cartoon animals specially drawn by Jiang Rong, which were also born under the hands of jade masters.

It looks lifelike and cute.

I believe that it will be able to attract a lot of children by then.

In view of the fact that those jade masters were not young and worked in the ice and snow with such high intensity, Jiang Rong had prepared Bigu Dan, Yangyuan Dan, and Lieyang Dan for them in advance.

Eating one can ensure that you don't need to eat for five days, and you can rest as much as possible with the saved time.

Yangyuan Dan is rejuvenating, ensuring that the masters are energetic and in good health all day long!

As for the Lieyang Pill, it is also indispensable, eating it is not eroded by the cold, and it can make people feel warm and warm all over the body, without a trace of cold.

So although they have to work non-stop every day, those masters are happy to do it and don't feel tired at all.

When they saw the ice and snow glass-like works born in their hands, they all cheered like children, and some would compare with each other to see who carved fast and well.

Then the Thousand Lights and Trees, Snow White's Garden, and the Dragon King were all completed one by one.

Outside the Mirror Garden, a high ice and snow wall has been built, and in the center is a gate carved out of ice and snow.

Li Changyuan sighed when he came to observe: "It's a pity that such a beautiful ice and snow world, once the weather warms up, I'm afraid it won't be long before the ice and snow melt, right?" ”

Jiang Rong's heart moved when he heard this, yes, such a beautiful world took so much effort to build, it can't disappear after a winter, right?

So she searched and searched in the Xianyuan Mansion, and found a Thousand Snow Ice Crystal Cold Array, which was exchanged for fifty faith points and placed in the Mirror Garden, including the entire Mirror Garden, which covers an area of more than five hundred acres.

The Thousand Snow Ice Crystal Cold Array, in fact, to put it bluntly, is similar to an air conditioner, which can keep the entire mirror garden at the current low temperature, and the temperature outside the formation cannot affect the garden.

In this way, the mirror garden can be maintained all year round!

But there is no need to tell Li Changyuan now, and people will discover this mystery for themselves in the future.

In addition to being amazed, they will also find their own reasons to explain this strange sight through the ages.

She didn't need to explain it to them.

The prince and his entourage escorted disaster relief materials all the way to Yongzhou, and each time they passed through a disaster-stricken area, they handed over food and other materials to local officials, and did not stop, but continued to rush to the next place.

By the time we finally approached the last Yongjia County, it was already more than half a month later.

On this night, the moon and stars were sparse, reflecting the snow-covered wasteland below, and the surroundings seemed clear.

Xiao Jue sat on the horse, followed by the mighty grain transportation team, not far in front of the Crescent Mountain, the terrain of the Crescent Mountain is not complicated, but the middle was split into two halves, leaving a mountain road the size of a crescent moon between them, and high cliffs on both sides.

The cold wind howled in the cols, but there was no other sound.

Xiao Jue raised his hand, and the team behind him stopped, and he said to the adjutant Yu Xin behind him: "You take a few people to check on the mountains on both sides." ”

Yu Xin answered "yes" and took the order.

Xiao Jue turned around and said to the team behind him: "Rest in place." ”

In an instant, the soldiers all relaxed, and their originally upright bodies collapsed a little, and they all hurried to eat, drink, and rest.

Two quarters of an hour later, Yu Xin came back with someone and reported to Xiao Jueyu: "Your Highness, everything is normal on the mountain, and there is no ambush. ”

Xiao Jue let out an "um" and looked at the high cliff with a deep expression.

After another quarter of an hour, Xiao Jue said, "Let's go." ”

A cold voice spread far and wide in the silent col.

Yet he himself sat upright on his horse, motionless, except for a group of grim, ghostly soldiers behind him, who began to march into the col as an advance force. (To be continued.) )
