Chapter 937: Snow Sweeping
The climate in the mountains is the most elusive.
A snow came quickly, and the entire White Emperor City was covered in silver overnight, and it really became the "White" Imperial City.
It's just that the White Emperor City is not an ordinary town after all, and there are Li Xinchen's most elite main army and sailors in the south among the military towns facing Jingzhou, but there are not many people, mainly the side branches of several big families here, and there are also some merchants who come and go.
When the snow fell, a group of soldiers drove neatly into the streets to start clearing the snow, while the soldiers on the dock were also hurriedly clearing the snow and breaking the ice floes in the river. Although these ice floes are small, they can't stop them from constantly knocking on the hull.
This kind of scene of soldiers going to the streets to clear the snow is rare in other places, and the army is already good if they don't catch some Ding Zhuang to clear the snow in the barracks, which naturally arouses the onlookers of a few people in the White Emperor City, but soon some young boys can't help but join in this hot ranks.
According to their own words, even the army has already started, so what is there to hesitate about, at least the snow in front of their own house has to be swept away!
"This snow is so beautiful, why should you rush to sweep it away." In the warm bedding, Le Chang pillowed in the crook of Li Xinchen's arm, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.
The sound of snow clearing outside has become more and more dense, and it is obvious that Li Ping is also cleaning the courtyard with his personal guards.
Li Xinchen looked at the beautiful woman who still had a little flush on her face, and said with a light smile: "White Emperor City is the first fortress facing east, if you let the snow accumulate on the road, then the snow will freeze later, which will affect the movement of troops in the city." In addition, clean roads are also needed for merchants and grain and grass transportation in towns and cities. โ
Le Chang replied as if she didn't understand, after all, she had never participated in civil administration, so she naturally had no concept of this.
After all, there are still a few real stone paved roads in the current city, that is, some trunk roads in Chengdu and Hanzhong are paved with stone slabs, in most of the cities, the streets are actually still yellow earth, once it rains and snows, it will be muddy, and the government must have to pave the wooden planks on the surface for emergency, so if you don't hurry up to clear the snow, it is one thing for the road to freeze in two days, and it is also very likely to turn into mud directly.
Of course, Li Xinchen knew that there was a lot of waste waiting to be rebuilt, and if he forcibly required every town to be able to pave the road with stone slabs, it would be impossible, even if the current workshop was fully capable of producing qualified stone slabs, there was no way to meet them. After all, this is still an era when most houses are thatched houses, Li Xinchen can't fantasize about climbing to the sky in one step, it is already good to be able to make a model in a few towns first, at least it can point out a direction for the development of the rest of the state capitals.
Although Lechang didn't understand the cause and effect for a while, she also knew that this was an important military town, and it was reasonable to have all kinds of strict systems, after all, this was Li Xinchen's Bashu, and the heroic man in front of her who made herself admire should have such an army and such a system.
However, the sound of snow removal outside the window still made Le Chang unable to stay in bed, and the time was not early, Le Chang barely supported himself and wanted to get up, but he immediately realized something, and quickly reached out to cover the snow-white skin that was suddenly exposed to Li Xinchen's gaze.
Li Xinchen smiled, after all, Lechang is no better than Xiao Xiang, the little girl who doesn't know anything, and is different from Wei Chi Chifan, a northern daughter, who is mature and has the gentleness and reserve of a Jiangnan girl, which is completely different from the taste of Li Xinchen's other two women.
"How long have you been watching, haven't you seen enough?" Le Changjiao snorted and wanted to step past Li Xinchen to get his dirty clothes.
Li Xinchen took the first step to take the dirty clothes and shook them: "Do you want it?" โ
"You!" Le Chang's pretty face suddenly turned red, and he didn't know how he should compete with this scoundrel, so he pushed Li Xinchen aggrievedly, "Isn't the concubine you bullied yesterday enough?" โ
And Li Xinchen saw Le Chang's aggrieved expression, rolled his eyes, and obediently handed her the dirty clothes, and Le Chang came over with a smile and kissed Li Xinchen's face.
Li Xinchen finally smiled with satisfaction, got up to change his clothes, and Lechang just put on his coat and obediently came over to serve him to change his clothes. Looking at the hills and ravines exposed between the girl's bending and the snow-white legs that were not covered, Li Xinchen took a breath of cool air lightly, only to feel that his heart was beating a little faster.
Sensing that Li Xinchen's gaze seemed to be a little wrong, Le Chang followed his gaze and hurriedly reached out to press the placket on his chest, but after thinking about it again, he had seen it yesterday, and even done everything he could, so he sighed.
How did I meet such an enemy in my life!
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโ-
"See Your Highness and Princess." The guards who were clearing the snow saluted one after another.
Li Xinchen smiled and took the broom from the hand of a personal guard, and followed them to sweep away the snow in front of the door. And Lechang had already asked the maid to prepare hot porridge, and at this time brought it out and distributed it to these guards, most of whom had already frozen red.
"See the general!" Li Xun and Wang Chang came together, and when they saw Li Xinchen clearing the snow, they couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly saluted, but soon they saw Lechang with a maid to distribute porridge to the guards, "See the princess." โ
Li Xinchen smiled and pointed: "The two generals have worked hard to clear the snow in the morning, and they will warm up after drinking porridge?" โ
While speaking, Li Xinchen took two bowls from Lechang's hands and handed them to Li Xun and Wang Chang.
The people in the army originally had a big appetite, not to mention that Li Xun and Wang Chang got up in the morning to direct the de-icing and snow removal for a long time, and at this time their stomachs began to bark again, and a bowl of hot porridge was naturally very comfortable.
His Royal Highness the King of Han has already been delivered to hand, and the two of them naturally did not refuse, and they ate happily after thanking them. And Li Xinchen saw that the porridge was almost divided, and said with a smile: "It's cold, Le'er, go back first, don't freeze." โ
Le Changying smiled: "The concubine has retired, and you should use it slowly." โ
The generals and guards did not dare to be rude and returned the salute one after another. The princess came out to command the porridge for everyone, that is the princess and the people, everyone can't really be so casual.
"Your Highness, how can you suffer yourself like this?" The maid who followed Lechang was already shivering from the cold, and couldn't help but whisper behind Lechang.
Le Chang laughed, stood under the corridor and looked at Li Xinchen and those soldiers who were talking happily: "When you go to a place, you have a local rule." This is Bashu, and the King of Han doesn't have the frame of the King of Han, so I should naturally do something icing on the cake. โ
"But ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
"How can there be so many!" Le Chang turned his head, his willow eyebrows were upside down, and his voice became cold, "When you arrive in Chengdu in the future, don't say this kind of thing!" โ
The maidservant was startled and hurriedly agreed.
