Black Mountain Fort held another wedding banquet, this time, it was Qin Chuan's concubine.

Li Yueru was finally dealt with.

Wen Suxin went to talk again, and then Qin Chuan found an opportunity to press her against the wall, and made a move, the unruly lady who chased and cut Luo Da Niu with a kitchen knife all day was treated like a quail.

Large families don't hold banquets when they take concubines, but Qin Chuan is not a big family, he is the emperor of the soil, and he does what he says.

On the same day, another piece of news spread among Emperor Guan's army and the people, intentionally or unintentionally: General Qin is about to have a queen.

In the event of an accident, the entire national power will easily fall apart, and the glory and wealth of those founding ministers will also come to naught.

Qin Chuan has been married for a year, and there has been no news of the future, and some officials have begun to worry about him, and many people have begun to consider persuading Qin Chuan to take a concubine, first accept a few dozen concubines, give birth to a large number of dragons, and wait for him to ascend the throne, and then set up a queen and a prince, and canonize the harem concubines.

As soon as the news of General Qin's imminent aftermath came out, the officials of various departments breathed a sigh of relief, and heard that the general was going to take a concubine, and the one who accepted it was the second daughter of Li Pingdu, a scholar in Fenzhou.

Qin Chuan was also very happy, because he finally tasted the taste of three wives and four concubines.

On the day of the wedding banquet, he only walked through the motions, drank a round of wine with some officials and generals, and then impatiently entered the cave room.

For Li Yueru, he didn't have such pity for Wen Suxin, this unruly eldest lady had to be disciplined well, so as not to go to the house for the next three days.

So, after lifting Li Yueru's red hijab, Qin Chuan picked up her chin and looked up and down, left and right, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Although Li Yueru is not as good-looking as Wen Suxin, she is also a little beauty in this era.

The key is white, the facial features are also quite delicate, and the figure is ......

"Come, take off your clothes, and let your husband appreciate your figure."

Although Li Yueru is rude, she is also a lady from a scholarly family, and when Qin Chuan picked her chin and looked at it carefully, her face was already red to the base of her neck.

When he heard Qin Chuan's words, his mind was buzzing, his body was as hot as a stove, and his liver was about to pop out.

Because of her personality, Li Yueru did not take off her clothes, but pursed her mouth and glared at Qin Chuan with a red face.

"Three from four virtues, marrying with a husband, these will not be unlearned."

"Hurry up, take it off and kneel on the bed, your buttocks pouting."

……

The next morning, Qin Chuan walked out of the room refreshed, whistled a few times at the birds chirping on the branches in the courtyard, and then walked leisurely to the front yard.

Li Yueru was dressed up under the service of a new maid, and then walked towards Wen Suxin's courtyard in an awkward posture with small steps.

She had to go and say goodbye to the eldest lady.

The other maid quickly put away a sheet with a red color on the bed, hung it in the middle of the courtyard, and spread the red flower in the most conspicuous position.

……

Qin Chuan wanted to go to Montenegro to have a look, but before he went out, there was a sudden storm in the sky, dark clouds and black pressure, and the whole sky was gloomy.

It didn't take long for raindrops the size of beans to fall from the sky.

It's raining.

The mountainous area of Luliang has been dry for almost a year.

Except for a few snowfalls in the winter, there was not a single drop of rain throughout the year.

This was also a rare occurrence throughout the Xiaoice era.

Many of the hundreds of reservoirs and reservoirs dug by the Department of Agriculture and the people have dried up, and many crops in the area have grown decadently and even died due to lack of water, and this year's harvest is certainly much lower than in previous years.

Now that the rain has finally fallen, and some crops are finally able to drink water, it should be possible to increase yields before the autumn harvest at the end of September.

Qin Chuan made a special trip to the Household Administration Department to learn about the progress of the water conservancy project.

As soon as this rain arrives, it means that the rainy season is coming, but the rainy season in the northwest is generally very short, only ten days and half a month.

Therefore, Qinchuan attaches great importance to water conservancy projects, builds a large number of ponds and reservoirs, and tries to build as deep as possible to reduce the area of the water surface, so as to reduce the transpiration rate.

In a few years, the drought will be even more serious than now, especially between the tenth and seventeenth years of Chongzhen, the rainfall will be less than now, and it is not only Shanxi that has been affected, but also Hebei, Henan, Shaanxi and Shandong and other places, which have also suffered from drought and completely turned into thousands of miles of red land

Qinchuan should make early preparations, store more grain, and establish a perfect water conservancy project as soon as possible to cope with the drought that has not been encountered in 500 years.

After coming out of the Household Administration Department, Qin Chuan summoned another kind of officials and generals and announced that two new departments would be established: one was the Department of Integrity and the other was the Department of Commerce.

Since ancient times, corruption has never been stopped, although Qin Chuan ruled that although it was a customer-oriented, it could not be avoided, and corrupt officials were found in several prefectures and counties, most of whom were those Ming troops who surrendered during the Northwest Raid.

At this time, there is an urgent need for a department that specializes in supervising all officials and generals and strictly investigating and dealing with corruption.

Unlike other departments, the names of the officials of the Department of Integrity are not announced to the public, and the official office is located in a corner of Fort Montenegro, far away from the official offices of other departments, and the internal system is also very strict.

In addition, Qinchuan has also established a reporting system, and all prefectures, counties, villages, forts, etc., have set up at least one reporting box for the people to supervise officials.

Another newly established commercial department, headed by Luo Wentian, is in charge of all business activities in the jurisdiction, from selling vegetables at street stalls to Montenegrin minerals.

Qinchuan wants to collect business tax.

The next morning, when there was no rain, Qin Chuan rode out of the fort on a tall horse and headed for Montenegro along a freshly laid railroad track.

The railway track from Montenegro to Loufu was completed, with a total length of 15 miles, and it took nearly half a year to complete, mainly because there were many uphill and downhill sections on the way, and the construction was difficult.

In the absence of machinery, those workers had to level part of the slopes and ditches with a hoe and a shovel, and dig out the roadbed, and the amount of work can be imagined.

Montenegro is an industrial area, producing wrought iron, iron pots, steel bars, cement, lime, etc., a large number of materials have to be transported out every day, and the transportation alone consumes a lot of manpower and energy, and the efficiency is low, a mule and horse cart can only pull a thousand catties of iron.

After the opening of the railway, the freight from Montenegro to Loufu is much more convenient, and most of the way out from Montenegro is downhill, so a five-section wagon is loaded with 10,000 catties of iron, and a mule can be pulled, which greatly saves manpower and accumulation.

But on the way back to Montenegro, you can only load half the weight, and you have to have at least a dozen people to help push and pull, because the return journey is mostly uphill, and if you load it too much, you can't climb it at all.

Qin Chuan originally wanted to enter Montenegro along the railway, but before he was halfway through the journey, a fast horse caught up and brought a message: Yang Yexing was here and wanted to see the general.

When Qin Chuan heard this, he immediately turned around and returned to Black Mountain Fort.

He knew that Yang Yexing was here to talk about shipbuilding.

Qin Chuan invested, Yang Yexing and his old friend built a shipyard, and began to produce the kind of big ship that Zheng Yiguan absorbed the advantages of the Franco manifold gunboat.

Nine times out of ten, Yang Yexing has convinced his old friend that the one who came with him should be his old friend.
