197. Clearing the wasteland
With the butcher behind his back, he walked around the gate of the women's prison, glancing inside from time to time.
Seeing a female catcher coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Girl, where is my daughter, why didn't she come out?" ”
The female catcher quickly shook her head and said, "I conveyed it for you, your daughter didn't see you, and said she was busy."
You, let's wait for her to come back next time. ”
"What?"
The butcher was so angry that he jumped three feet high, "Don't see Lao Tzu?
What kind of words is this! ”
The female catcher nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I've already delivered the words, and I don't care about my business if I don't see you." ”
Then he continued to stand straight at the door.
"Hey, it's really a female adult!"
The butcher will be angry.
Baiyun City has changed too much over the years, especially on the south bank of the Xijiang River, he rarely came, and he didn't expect that after coming here, he would actually become confused.
Everywhere are residential houses, workshops, one after another, avenues and alleys, one after another.
finally found him, but the girl didn't see him!
Angry people are not angry!
If it weren't for the fact that there were two three-grade female catchers standing at the door, he really wanted to break in and scold his daughter!
A handful of and a handful of urine are pulled, and they actually become enemies, which is too unconscionable.
looked up at the women's prison again, and in desperation, she could only turn around and leave angrily.
When I passed by the Xijiang Bridge, I stood on the bridge and smoked a cigarette, looking at the big and small boats that kept coming and going on the Xijiang River, carrying the goods on and off, thinking that the box might be gold or silver.
It's better than selling meat yourself.
But in addition to killing pigs and selling meat, what else will he do?
With a sigh, he stuck his cigarette stick on his belt and walked slowly and leisurely towards home with his hands behind his back.
Passing by the main square of Baiyun City, it is as lively as ever.
There is a huge platform made of wood directly north of the square, for the Sanhe Guard, this is the point of the general platform, every time he goes out, He Jixiang or Shen Chu always has to say two words of encouragement to the soldiers below and the residents of Baiyun City.
For the Chief Minister, this is the guillotine, where all those who have committed capital crimes are beheaded in public.
Usual times? It is the territory of those who sing, storytell, and play acrobatics.
Is the price different for each hour? The most expensive is at night, and only those who come from the north to sing operas are willing to spend 500 copper plates to rent for two hours.
Isn't the price cheap before the sun goes down? At the moment, it is occupied by those who sing Nanzhou opera? There are circles of people below, most of them are homeless people from Nanzhou? After all, it is sung in Nanzhou dialect, whether it is a local or a person from Yuezhou or Hongzhou? I don't understand a word.
Young and old? The applause continued.
The iron plate that received the reward money was smashed with copper coins one after another.
Seeing that the iron plate was about to come to him, the butcher turned and left.
At the bulletin board in the southeast corner of the square, there was also a circle of people.
Out of curiosity? He squeezed through too.
Although he is illiterate? But he still kept his eyes open at the black and white words on the bulletin board.
"What do you mean?"
He poked with his hand an acquaintance next to him, Sun Cripple, who specialized in making baskets.
Sun Cripple is in his forties, dry from top to bottom, unable to pinch meat with his hands, the only outstanding thing is the beard he specially grew after he became rich.
He strokes his beard? He smiled and said, "The announcement of the yamen." ”
Rolled the butcher's eyes? Didn't have a good airway, "Nonsense? Of course I know it's an announcement, but what's the point above? ”
Sun lame said? "The yamen told everyone to reclaim the swamp in the east? Whoever clears the land owns it? Title deeds and title deeds can be obtained. ”
The butcher's eyes lit up and said, "There is such a good thing? ”
Generally speaking, as long as it is a terra nullius, no one cares how you want to farm or build a house, nothing more than that if you don't pass the approval, the political secretary does not approve it, and there is no deed of ownership.
However, Baiyun City is different, with the development of the past two years, there are more and more people, Baiyun City is constantly expanding, where there are roads, there are houses, fields, and people.
It is a place where everyone wants to live in a bustling area, and the closer to the city, the better.
It's not like you have to run more than 20 miles to make soy sauce.
The land in Baiyun City is now very tight, and without the approval of the Political Secretary, it is difficult to build a house.
Now there is only one mudflat left in the east that has not been developed, and it is less than ten miles away from the Yamen of the Political Secretary.
"It's not that easy,"
Sun Cripple said with a smile, "In the muddy field, people and horses sink and don't show their heads, how much soil do you have to transport to fill it?"
Labor, carriage and horse fees are all money, and if you open an acre of land, you will get one or two silver! ”
The butcher sighed, "That's right, I don't have any family background, and I really can't toss it." ”
Most of the other people also have the same idea, with that kind of effort, not to mention going over Baiyun Mountain to the west, a large area of wasteland, as soon as it burns over, it will be all solved.
Reclamation of swamps?
Be a fool for one's pains!
But within two days, as a large number of craftsmen and people continued to build roads to the east, the people of Sanhe finally couldn't sit still.
It is said that this is the road from west to east, leading directly to the mouth of the West River.
What does it mean to have a road?
Because the Sanhe people who have benefited from building roads understand very well!
Done!
The people of Sanhe began to drag their families and mouths, leading mules and donkeys to open up the wasteland with the road construction team.
Lin Yi sat on the root of a big tree, looked at the wasteland reclamation teams not far away, and said with emotion, "The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. ”
"It's a wise saying!"
The longer Shanqi spends time with this and the prince, the more he admires this and the prince!
It's right to say that he doesn't learn and can't do anything, but there are often surprising words!
A single sentence can reveal the essence of all things.
"Hey, I'm still too poor,"
Lin Yi sighed and said, "Otherwise, this king will build another bridge over the Xijiang River." ”
The Xijiang Bridge in front of me can no longer meet the demand.
If the two sides of the Xijiang River want to develop in tandem, they must rebuild the bridge.
"After a while, the city boss will escort 100,000 taels of silver over,"
Shanqi smiled and said, "When the time comes, you can also alleviate the urgent need." ”
"Of the 100,000 taels, leave 10,000 taels to pay off the debt,"
Lin Yi said helplessly, "Each family gives a little bit, mainly to tell them that this king has not forgotten this account, so it is easy to borrow it and repay it, and it is not difficult to borrow again." ”
Shanqi couldn't help but say, "Sanhe Qianzhuang can also draw a little silver." ”
"No, Sanhe Qianzhuang is a hen that lays eggs sooner or later,"
Lin Yi said with a smile, "Killing chickens and taking eggs is boring."
The gold mine in Jinji Mountain is still beyond its means? ”
He never thought that he could lose money by opening a gold mine!
Every month, the silver spent in white flowers can only get a little gold sand!
"Lord forgive the sin, the mine in Jinji Mountain is a poor mine, and it is not easy to mine."
Shanqi bowed his head and said nothing.
Lin Yifa said ruthlessly, "Contracting out, keeping it is also a loss of money, open bidding, whoever gives the highest price will give it." ”
It's better than smashing it in your own hands.
"The prince is wise!"
Shanqi breathed a long sigh of relief.
It was very hot outside, Lin Yi didn't want to stay longer, and walked straight back.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the palace, they saw Ye Qiu and Jiang Sixi, and the master and apprentice stared at each other without saying a word.
Lin Yi smiled, ignored the master and apprentice, and went in directly.
After Jiang Sixi waited for Lin Yi to enter, tears came down, and he cried, "Master, you must avenge your apprentice!"
This Han Deqing beats the apprentice, isn't this hitting the face of your old man, Master!
I didn't take you seriously at all. ”
"Waste."
After a long time, these two words popped out of Ye Qiu's mouth.
"Master!"
Jiang Sixi knelt down and said with a handful of snot and tears, "Shame on you, Master!" ”
"From today onwards, the teacher will officially teach you the sword technique of warding off evil spirits!"
Ye Qiu said lightly, "After completing the study, the world can go to it." ”
"Ah......h
Jiang Sixi's cry became louder, "The apprentice feels that he is really a bastard, and Lord Han's beating woke up the apprentice."
The apprentice thinks it's better not to worry too much about him. ”
After saying that, he ran away in a puff of smoke.
He has a wife and two concubines, if he practices the swordsmanship of warding off evil spirits, how can he be a righteous husband in the future!
