Chapter 385: Plan
Chapter 385 Plan
The first day in Yecheng passed like this. The people of Yecheng didn't notice any difference, but they saw Zhou County's order receive a team of people, and finally led them back to the yamen. The people only looked around curiously, and then went to their own homes.
Yecheng is a poor place, and it is rare that there is no wind today.
Let's take the opportunity to chop more firewood and prepare some water......
This night, Xie Ke didn't sleep steadily, always tossing and turning, Qi Lu was so noisy that he couldn't sleep restlessly, and finally held Xie Ke tightly in his arms, and only slept peacefully in the second half of the night......
The next day, Xie Ke opened her eyes, and for a moment, she had a feeling that she didn't know where she was.
Then she remembered that they had already arrived in Yecheng.
What about Qi Lu? Xie Ke touched the position beside him, it was already cold, and he thought that he had been away for a while. Looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him, Xie Ke sighed softly.
At this moment, the curtain of the inner room was raised, followed by the sound of Yuhui. "Young grandma, the second master went out with the Zhou County Order early in the morning. Before leaving, the second master instructed the slave maid to tell the young grandmother. The second master received the news this morning that the fourth master of Chu has arrived, and he will come to meet the second master tonight. Let the young grandmother feel at ease. ”
finally received a message from my little uncle Chu Ye.
It was the best news she'd heard in recent times. Yuhui said while serving Xie Ke to freshen up. "The little princess slept with the nurse for the first time yesterday, and the nurse said that the little princess slept until dawn all night, and the little girl was playing with the nurse in the yard at this time, so the young grandmother could rest assured." Speaking of his daughter, Xie Ke couldn't help but shake his head and smile. For the sake of that little girl, she and Qi Lu had an awkward quarrel.
If it weren't for the fact that the emperor sent Gyeonggi Wei into the palace that day, maybe she would have continued to have trouble with Qi Lu.
All the way to Yecheng, Qi Lu never gave up, and almost racked his brains to persuade her that he finally let him get his wish last night.
"I'm still afraid that Mingyue will cry, it's really a conscienceless." Xie Ke sighed with a smile, and Yuhui couldn't help but smile. After trekking all the way, I finally came to Yecheng, although it was not as prosperous as the capital. But the good thing is simple. Yuhui and Cheng Jin both believe it. As long as there is his grandfather and young grandmother, it is only a matter of time before Yecheng prospers. The most important thing is that when they leave the capital, they stay away from the whirlpool of power.
You don't have to worry about being taken advantage of all day long. There is no need to be vigilant.
Such a day is called a day.
Cheng Jin followed the second master out of the house early in the morning. It seems that he chose to build another house.
Wait for the house to be built. My grandfather and young grandmother don't have to live in this small yard anymore.
That's when you really settle down.
But...... Yuhui suddenly thought of Cong Rui, and she was with them. Since childhood, he has served by the girl's side, and then followed the girl to marry in the capital. The four of them were also teased and called the 'four sisters' at the beginning, but she and Shui Qing and Shui Zhu were both married, and now they are all husband and wife, only Cong Rui. As soon as she saw Yuhui's expression, Xie Ke knew who she was thinking.
It's not that Yuhui thinks of Cong Rui from time to time, in fact, she thinks of Cong Rui more often.
Cong Rui died to save her, and Xie Ke felt that he owed Cong Rui a life.
Although the world will praise Cong Rui's loyalty, it is really righteous to die for the protector. However, those who have died know that death is death, and no matter how good the reputation is? There are few people in the world who have the opportunity to be born again. "Young grandmother, the slave always thinks of Cong Rui, thinking of the harmony between the slave and the maid, but Cong Rui is ......" Yuhui knew that Cong Rui should not be mentioned at this time to make her young grandmother sad, but she really hated it in her heart. She's just a girl, but she also knows what is good and what is evil.
What did my grandfather and young grandmother do, which was not a great good?
However, the emperor finally slandered the fourth prince of Chu for rebellion, and the young grandmother was an accomplice.
But it is a great crime of rebellion, why didn't the emperor dare to tell the world...... And just sent the Gyeonggi guard to Fuzhong to arrest it? They have traveled all the way, and they have not heard of rebellion? This is simply a crime that wants to be added, and it is intended for my own young grandmother. But in the end, Cong Rui died.
Isn't the girl's life her life?
The emperor is the king of a country, how can he act so shamelessly. The emperor is so ruthless, but he still wants his grandfather to be respectful to him.
I'm really sick.
"I know that my heart hurts no less than yours. Don't worry, Cong Rui's hatred, I haven't forgotten it for a day. Xie Ke said lightly. Yuhui nodded with tears in her eyes, she knew that her young grandmother was not a merciless person, and she would definitely avenge Cong Rui. But even if you take revenge, what if you kill the Gyeonggi Wei who dared to break into the Qi Mansion, the culprit is the emperor.
Yuhui didn't dare to ask more. She knew that there were some things that she should not inquire about as a girl.
"It's all slaves and maids who are not good, and they have to mention Cong Rui. Grandma should have breakfast first. The slave maid went to arrange ......" Yuhui then picked up the curtain and went out.
Xie Ke got up and stood in front of the window looking at the small courtyard.
This is the smallest courtyard she has ever lived, whether it is in Hele or Wushui, the place where she lives is very elegant. Here, it's shabby...... Xie Ke couldn't help but smile wryly. She is not a girl who can't endure hardships, even if she marries Qi Lu, as long as they can stay together, she doesn't care where she sleeps and what she eats. Now, she comforted herself with pleasure, better than the cave she had been in the North. In the courtyard, her daughter Mingyue had already walked very steadily, and the nurse squatted in front of Mingyue, watching the little girl walk towards her, and then stretched out her arms to take the little girl into her arms.
It can be seen that Mingyue's nurse also really loves Mingyue.
She used to be too arbitrary. In fact, not all the children who were brought by the nurse were not close to their mothers. She was also brought up by the nurse Cheng since she was a child, and she is still close to her mother.
I am afraid there are many reasons why Sister Ying'er, the daughter of the previous life, is estranged from her, and she is naturally responsible, but in a family like Quan's, the cultivation of the servant women in the family is not high, but the ability to see the wind and steer is not small. Seeing that she was not favored, it was not impossible for her daughter to say something wrong, so that in the end, her daughter gradually drifted away from her.
She shouldn't have generalized.
After breakfast, Xie Ke turned over the account that Cheng Jin handed over to her yesterday. The last good play she arranged in the capital this time, although it didn't help Qi Lu get out in the end, it made her silver rise a lot.
No one is afraid of a lot of money.
Xie Ke then decided to take the silver from the people and use it for the people. Open several good halls and medical centers in Yecheng.
Some homeless refugees can be taken in in the church, and a school will be set up in the hall so that children from poor families can also read and write.
In the medical center, Lang Zhong will be invited to sit for consultation, which is an act of kindness, and for the poor, the consultation fee is naturally exempted, which is the cost of medicine. It is only a cost. Now. Yecheng really doesn't have much oil and water to make. However, this is only temporary, Xie Ke believes that with Qi Lu, Yecheng will soon prosper.
What Xie Ke held in his hand was Cheng Jin's estimate of the silver taels needed by the Shantang Medical Center......
This naturally requires the use of a large amount of silver taels, Xie Ke frowned and thought. Now is the time to use money. Although Qi Lu has a big package. said that everything was with him, but how could she stay in the back house safely and really ignore him? Thinking about it, she was destined to be a toil.
The revitalization of Yecheng was brought forward by Qi Lu. And the kindness of Shantang Medical Center's 'breaking money' came forward by her.
Qi Lu has always been a big man, so naturally he doesn't think that opening a good hall and opening a medical hall can have a great effect on the prosperity of Yecheng? Xie Ke naturally wouldn't argue with him about things like 'people's hearts', and sometimes it was also a sharp weapon. While looking at the rules and regulations listed by Cheng Jin, Xie Ke had a headache.
She knew that in the past few years, Cheng Jin had helped her accumulate a lot of silver.
Coupled with what her uncle gave her and her father Xie Nian gave her, she is undoubtedly a noble lady. But if the money is used for good deeds? There are not many people who have such things in and out.
She had to think of a way to get the money back.
The couple found a way out for the north, that is, they could be self-sufficient, and there were black stones to sell, so that the two-pronged approach could ensure that the people in the north had no worries about medical care.
There is also news from the south that Ah Shan has recently developed several kinds of medicinal wine, which is not only delicious, but also some strengthen the body, and some prolong life, according to those who have drunk it, it is really the best wine in the wine. As soon as it came out, it occupied a place in the wine shop under the name of Gan. And it is quite profitable, although the wine recipe is rumored to be miraculous, and some people even say that it is used to sprinkle the fairy in the sky and leave it in the people...... In fact, it is a kind of insect wine developed by Ah Shan, and the most insects in the south are insects, and Ah Shan is a master of insect repellent.
So this wine really doesn't take much effort in the south. But after passing the boundary mountain, his identity has increased more than ten times.
In addition, the southern region is blessed with unique geography, and later Qi Lu helped it to explore the mystery of flash floods. The herbs that sat on the mountain were finally saved...... The medicinal herbs and treasures grown in that mountain were sold to Dawei, and it is said that Dawei's pharmacy almost fought for it......
Ah Shan and Yan Nan joined forces, and the entire southern part of Great Wei became more and more prosperous, and naturally, the Yan clan was even more famous in the south......
Ah Shan also benefited, seeing that the Wu clan was flourishing, and there were countless small clans who came to vote. Ah Shan followed Qi Lu's suggestion, and the comer did not refuse. The current southern border has a faint posture of acting only on the orders of Ashan.
After receiving these news, Lin Changyuan and the others were very happy, but Qi Lu's expression was indifferent.
It turned out that in Qi Lu's heart, it should have been like this. What is there to be happy about what should be the case? Xie Ke thought of Qi Lu's expression at that time, and couldn't help but smile, that is, the rules and regulations in his hand seemed to be really unpleasant, but Xie Ke was also convinced that this difficulty, they would definitely be able to overcome it if they joined forces.
Qi Lu came back after noon, and the wind and sand were obviously bigger today than yesterday.
When Qi Lu returned, his lips began to dry and chapped from the wind and sand. Yubai's face seemed to be a little darker. Thinking about this morning, he and Zhou Ziqiu did not have a moment of leisure. Qi Lu is also a person who has been soaked in honey since he was a child.
Although he was not liked by his parents, the emperor's preference made him never be harsh on what he ate. This is indeed the first time he has experienced such wind and sun. But he smiled heartily. After entering the house and washing his face, he pulled Xie Ke and talked about what he saw today.
“…… The wind and sand outside the city are indeed great, and if they are cultivated, they have to think of ways to block the wind and sand. There seemed to be a mineral deposit ten miles outside the city, and I wrote to the Great Eagle and asked him to send a few craftsmen from the north who could mine......
Eight out of ten years are either drought or flooding.
You have to dig a big pool, like the one in the mountains of the south...... Water is stored in times of flooding and used for irrigation in times of drought. Qi Lu said one, Xie Ke memorized one by heart, and then nodded lightly. Seeing that Xie Ke listened carefully, Qi Lu said even harder. He likes this feeling, no matter what he does, Xie Ke will understand, will support, and will help him, what he can't imagine, Xie Ke will make up for him, and what he can't scruple about, Xie Ke will pay attention to her.
This feeling is like getting along.
"Blocking the wind and sand, you can use trees, it's too late now, next spring, I will call on the people to plant seedlings around Yecheng, but this is not a year and a half to become a forest.
However, this is a matter of benefiting future generations, and naturally it will not be achieved overnight.
As for digging a cistern...... This is a big project, so it's better to send people to look around to see if there are any natural formations like the southern ones. In fact, you don't have to dig a pool. We can think of digging irrigation canals...... Let the river be diverted, and the other end will be connected to the lower river, and the water will flow outside Yecheng City, and we can intercept the flow and use it for irrigation of trees. If there are many, they will naturally flow to the lower places, and they can also be exempted from disasters. Xie Ke said after careful consideration.
Qi Lu looked surprised, these were also vague ideas that he only had today.
must not have arrived in front of Yecheng, no matter how much he thought about it, it was just empty words. Only when you really see Yecheng can you know how to adapt to local conditions.
Afforestation, digging ditches. Everything sounds like a fantasy, but Qi Lu thinks it's a rare and good method.
If there is a forest, it can naturally block the wind, and if the wind blows smaller, it will not be full of yellow sand. Digging a canal to connect two rivers with a drop in the river, the biggest problem in Yecheng is the lack of water. Without water, all plans are utopian.
Although there are two things, each of them is as difficult as the sky.
But Qi Lu believed that he would be able to do it...... This is his and Xie Ke's home, and it is for Xie Ke that he will also make Yecheng prosperous.
Thinking of the joy, Qi Lu couldn't help but pull Xie Ke over, and then kissed her the cheek without saying anything. In broad daylight, and the door was not closed, only a clear blue curtain was blocked, if the girl came in and saw it...... Xie Ke blushed and pushed Qi Lu. "How old are they, and they haven't been in shape yet. ...... was seen" "See what's wrong, my grandfather kisses my daughter-in-law." Sister Bao, let me kiss you a few more times......"
Xie Ke: "......"
As a girl raised in the back house, Xie Ke naturally can't earn Qi Lu in terms of strength.
What's more, Qi Lu was still deeply hidden, and in the end, Xie Ke covered his little face that was almost burning, and pretended to be angry and entered the inner room. In the outer room, Qi Lu laughed like a cat that had stolen a fishy one.
This way to Yecheng, he is very self-disciplined.
As a good man, he naturally can't act arbitrarily, which alludes to the affairs between husband and wife...... He didn't have the heart to show affection to Xie Ke in the carriage, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't think it was blasphemy against Xie Ke, his woman, he naturally treasured, respected, and cherished. So along the way, Qi Lu felt that he was extremely 'thirsty'.
And last night was the first night, and seeing Xie Ke's tired face, he couldn't bear to bully her anymore.
Now......
She relieved him of his troubles in a few words, and he wondered if he should 'treat' his little girl. [Ask for a monthly pass.] Kneel and beg ~~~] (To be continued.) )
