Thirty days later, the autumn harvest in Tongzhou had already been completed, and Liu Renli was busy about to fly, he wanted to ask the old emperor what he meant, whether these harvested golden potatoes and corn needed to be reserved, but the excerpts he sent to the capital seemed to be all sunk into the sea.

Helplessly, these things can't be stored in the warehouse for a long time, after all, the space is limited, and ten days after sending people to the capital, the merchants who were waiting for the acquisition in Tongzhou were all notified to go to the newly built trading hall.

The golden potatoes and corn were sold at the published price, and in less than three hours, all except for the reserved seeds were sold out, and of course, the ones that were not bought in the end were also privately traded at a high price, and everyone happily hired a car to start transporting them.

Zhou Heng's newly built road, the line from the canal wharf to Tongzhou has also been opened to traffic, and the new carriage sales point has become one of the most popular shops in Tongzhou, because of the urgent need for transportation, the price of carriages and horses continues to rise.

The remaining two parts of the road are also in full swing, after all, the autumn harvest has been completed, and the state government has not directly issued a conscription, but has given an employment notice.

All those who participate in the construction of the road are paid on a daily basis, except for the support staff, whose monthly salary is fixed, and the monthly salary of the others is calculated according to your workload, and there is no limit to age or gender, and many women in good health are also involved.

Originally, the surrounding state capitals were all planted with wheat, and their autumn harvest was earlier, and when they heard the news from Tongzhou, they came in groups.

Outside Tongzhou, many people are carrying luggage and queuing day and night at the centralized registration location.

As a result, there are more than 10,000 people who build the road, and only dozens of leaders of the Beishan construction team are left to be responsible for the quality, as well as the management of these personnel, and the other workers go directly to carry out the construction of the school and the store workshop.

Thirty days of hard work, day and night, Tongzhou to the capital and Tongzhou to Tianjin Port section of the roadbed is almost half completed, Zhu Sanfu is very excited, now it has entered September, there is still a month to snow, if at this rate, do not wait until the New Year, December can be completed.

Zhu Sanfu hurriedly walked out of the carriage with a roll of drawings, and walked quickly towards a newly built building opposite the branch of the Huichun Hall, where a plaque was hung on which the words Tongzhou Branch of the Royal Institute of Technology were written.

On the second floor, I can hear a lot of noisy sounds, classes have started here, and a large number of people have gathered in many disciplines, especially the class that learns the Daliang language has the most people, Zhu Sanfu's pace sped up a little, and there was still a sound of reading in his ears.

"Have you eaten?"

"How do you sell this?"

"How much delivery do I buy?"

“......”

Zhu Sanfu pushed open a door, and then closed the door, the noisy sound was suddenly blocked out, Zhou Heng raised his head, Zhu Yunmo sat opposite Zhou Heng, and both of them looked at him.

"I've seen the prince and the son, this picture needs you to take a look, there are three positions, you need to change it, when digging the roadbed here, I found that there is water seepage, I'm afraid that it will affect the solidity of the roadbed in the later stage!"

Saying that, Zhu Sanfu unfolded the drawing, pointed out the location of the water seepage section, and the schematic diagram of the depth of the water, Zhou Heng glanced at it and nodded.

"The problem is not big, if it is unrealistic to bypass it all, the cost will increase, or the old rules, deep digging and filling, closed and seepage water treatment, call our own technicians to go over, the formula they have a good grasp, modulated for perfusion and tamping, and do not delay the construction period."

Zhu Sanfu smiled and nodded, this is really not easy to get an idea, after all, it is a matter of quality, and it is necessary to talk about it to rest assured.

"Okay, I'll go arrange it!"

Zhou Heng stopped Zhu Sanfu, who was about to walk away, "Wait a minute, have the people screened out by the capital been sent back?" ”

Zhu Sanfu shook his head, his face looking a little embarrassed.

"I'll go to the construction site early this morning, leave this matter to Qu Ziping to keep an eye on, I haven't asked, why don't I ask?"

Zhou Heng nodded, "You call him up, Michelle They will leave tomorrow, leaving the female slave who is good at singing and dancing, and the rest will be taken away, we don't raise people who eat white rice in Beishan." ”

Zhu Sanfu nodded and hurried down.

Zhu Yunmo looked at Zhou Heng, with unspeakable worry on his face, Zhou Heng shook his head at him slightly, after all, he knew very well what Zhu Yunmo thought.

The layout has been arranged for so long, just waiting for this time, naturally he can't give up the only opportunity, the old emperor in the capital is in good and bad condition, and the prince follows the prison country, everything seems to be very smooth, but Zhou Heng knows that this is the calm before the storm.

At this moment, the door opened, and Qu Ziping hurriedly walked in.

"Childe, the people are almost here, the messenger has just arrived in the Rejuvenation Hall, and these people will be sent over later."

Zhou Heng nodded, "Although it is returned, it must be entertained, after all, it is a guest when it comes, and then prepare some food and things for them and load them into the car, and send them to the port tonight, so as not to panic tomorrow." ”

Qu Ziping nodded, thought for a while and asked:

"Do you need to prepare a feast tonight?"

Zhou Heng glanced at Zhu Yunmo, thought about it and said:

"Let's eat barbecue, prepare a hot pot for each table, prepare some for whatever you like to eat in autumn, Michelle didn't order a lot of pot base and all kinds of cooking utensils, they are not skilled in using them, and let them go back to learn it."

Qu Ziping hurriedly said yes, and then went out to prepare, Zhu Yunmo stood up and sighed.

"Now that you have decided, I have no objection, and we can have no scruples in the future, but we still have to do enough to do enough plays, and we must not let people seize the handle."

Zhou Heng smiled, they all felt that it was too dangerous to send Bai Qingyun away, only Xiu'er and Zhu Yunmo supported him, and this trust still moved him.

"Okay, let's practice for Michelle together in the evening, as for the finish, I've already arranged the finish!"

......

That night, a bonfire was lit again in the backyard of the Tongzhou Branch.

Pang Xiao came over, stood behind Zhou Heng and whispered:

"Father-in-law Xiao Fang sent a message, saying that it was best for us to return to Beijing tomorrow, especially to strengthen the guards of Beishan, for fear that these people would be unfavorable to Beishan, he has sent people to patrol, and the old general will personally go to Beishan to sit in town."

Zhou Heng nodded, he couldn't help but feel a little excited, it seemed that it was time to close the net.

"Okay, send Michelle away tomorrow, and we'll go back to Beijing! In addition, the news was sent to Blacksmith Yao, and the flying team obeyed the dispatch of Father-in-law Fang and could be dispatched at any time. ”

Pang Xiao bowed and retreated, and seeing Zhou Heng finish speaking, Michelle raised his glass and stood up.

"Thank you for Mr. Zhou's care for many days, we are leaving tomorrow, I am still very reluctant to give up, and I hope that Mr. Zhou can take care of the people who stay.

We won't sail too far this time, some of the ships will go back to Spain, and the other part will go directly to several countries around Siam and will come back, we will see each other again soon, come and let us raise a glass together, thank you Mr. Zhou for your hospitality, and wish us more and more business to spread to all countries. ”

Zhou Heng stood up, everyone was very excited, they had learned a lot of language in the past month, and they also saw the rapid development of Tongzhou, and at the same time, they were shocked and found future business opportunities, so their faces were very moved.

The wine is a long bamboo leaf green, pushing the cup and changing the lamp for an hour, Zhou Heng was already slightly drunk, looking at Michelle in front of him, it seemed that there was some ghosting, he waved his hand and grabbed Michelle.

"I'm drunk, you go on, remember what you promised me, this person should treat me with the same respect as I am, arrange everything for her, please!"

Michelle nodded vigorously, "Dear Mr. Zhou, she is like a princess in my heart, I will let her be taken care of with dignity, and I will guarantee with my life!" ”

Only then did Zhou Heng let go of Michelle's hand, Boss Xue came over to support Zhou Heng, and hurriedly waved his hand at Qu Ziping, who took Zhou Heng's place.

"My son-in-law is not strong enough to drink, how about I come to drink with everyone?"

In an instant, the entire backyard cheered, some drinking, some singing, and some jumped up excitedly, Zhou Heng shook his head, and was helped by Boss Xue into the semicolon.

went up to the second floor, Xiu'er walked up, she knew Zhou Heng, and these drinks would not make him drunk on weekdays.

But today is different, Bai Qingyun is leaving, no one feels good, she glanced at Boss Xue.

"Send him up to the third floor, it's in the easternmost ward on the third floor, I'll go and rest first, send it up, you can come down, let them talk, tell her that someone will send her off tomorrow morning, the clothes she needs to wear are all in the room, and there is gold and silver in the baggage."

Boss Xue blinked, and didn't understand what this meant for a while, but since it was arranged by Miss Xiu'er, he naturally had no opinion.

"Oh, then I'll send Childe up."

Xiu'er nodded, watched the two go upstairs, and slowly walked down, Chun Tao came from nowhere, reaching out to hold Xiu'er's arm.

"Isn't Miss going to take care of Childe?"

Xiu'er shook her head and looked up at the sky, the moon was very bright, and the sky was full of stars, such an autumn day was really very comfortable.

"Let them talk, I can't do it if I love it, let's go back and rest, and I have to go back to Beijing tomorrow."

Chun Tao was stunned, "Ah, go back to Beijing tomorrow?" ”

Xiu'er nodded, without explaining more, Chun Tao also suppressed the doubts in her heart, and followed Xiu'er towards the building where she was resting.

In front of the door of the easternmost room on the third floor, Boss Xue stopped, and the wine exhaled by Zhou Heng was really smoky.

He wanted to knock on the door, but the raised hand paused, this person is now a taboo, it is said that he does not light the lamp every night for fear that someone will notice.

Thinking of this, he directly pushed open the door, Zhou Heng raised his head to look at the surrounding darkness, and poked Boss Xue.

"Where is this?"

A figure approached, and Boss Xue hurriedly bowed down.

"Miss Bai, you can talk to Childe, I'll step back first!"

Bai Qingyun nodded, didn't say anything, Boss Xue went out directly, and then the door closed again.

Bai Qingyun walked up to Zhou Heng, picked up the teapot and poured out a cup of herbal tea, and sent it to Zhou Heng's lips.

"Drink a cup of tea and sober up, you're drunk."

Zhou Heng shook his head, stretched out his hand to block the teacup, the tea soup was almost spilled, and Bai Qingyun hurriedly supported Zhou Heng.

"I'm not drunk."

Bai Qingyun burst out laughing, leaned down slightly, and approached Zhou Heng, the moonlight could completely see the face in front of him, and looking directly at it so closely was Bai Qingyun's biggest dream.

"Does that boy know who I am?"

Zhou Heng took a deep breath and shook his head as if he wanted to shake off the drunkenness, trying to control his body and keep sitting upright.

"You are Bai Qingyun, and you are also Qiu Niang."

Bai Qingyun smiled, laughing and laughing, and tears flowed down.

"It doesn't matter what the name is, as long as Childe can remember me."

Speaking of this, Bai Qingyun brought it to Zhou Heng's lips again with a tea cup, and this time Zhou Heng did not resist, but drank it obediently.

Putting down the teacup, Bai Qingyun tugged on his sleeve and wanted to wipe the water stains on the corner of Zhou Heng's lips, but the hand that was halfway up paused, let go of the sleeve, and wiped Zhou Heng's lips directly with his slender jade fingers.

Immediately like an electric shock, quickly withdraw his hand.

At this moment, Zhou Heng grabbed Bai Qingyun's arm and put it into his arms, and his eyes were already moist when he raised his eyes.

"I'm sorry, except to send you away, I can't think of any way to protect you, after all, no matter how you hide it, it's still in the Great Liang Kingdom, if the new emperor changes, I don't know what will happen, I don't want you to have anything, do you understand?"

Zhou Heng's helplessness and that worry made Bai Qingyun's tears flow again.

"I understand, I will live well, I know that there is a person in the capital of Daliang who is concerned about me, and that person is called Zhou Heng."

In the end, Bai Qingyun couldn't say any more, hugged Zhou Heng all of a sudden, and kissed Zhou Heng's lips directly.

In an instant, Zhou Heng seemed to be ignited, he was so hot that he could touch something cold, and he chased after it.

Under the moonlight, the figures of the two people overlapped.

I don't know how long it took, Bai Qingyun opened the door, she entered the corridor, walked to the stairwell, paused, and there seemed to be a dark shadow curled up in the corner.

"Brother Xue, carry him back to the room!"

Boss Xue stood up, his face was flushed, and he didn't know what to say at this time, he just hummed when he walked up to Bai Qingyun, walked into the house quickly and picked up Zhou Heng, and went directly downstairs to the lounge on the opposite floor.

Bai Qingyun looked at the backs of the two people in the distance, hugged himself with both hands, and turned back to the room.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Heng sat up leisurely, feeling more and more lightheaded, glanced out the window, and saw that the sky was bright, and he was so frightened that he got up.

After a brief wash, I changed into my clothes and went straight out the door.

At this time, I happened to see Michelle coming out of the back door of the branch of the Rejuvenation Hall, followed by several women wearing tube skirts and huge scarves, they were very tightly wrapped, all holding some boxes and baggage, and walked towards the convoy.

Zhou Heng saw that he hurriedly approached, and Michelle smiled and hugged Zhou Heng.

"Dear Mr. Zhou, I'm really leaving, I have used all the convoys you prepared, don't go to the port, after all, there are so many things here."

Zhou Heng raised his head and wanted to say that he would send them off, but Pang Xiao stood not far away and looked at him, looking at the worry on his face, Zhou Heng took a deep breath.

"Okay, I'm not going to the port, the goods have been loaded last night, and your people have been received, I wish you all a smooth journey and a safe arrival!"

Michelle understood what Zhou Heng meant, hugged Zhou Heng directly, patted him hard, and then straightened up.

"Tongzhou now has my property, and there are so many people I left, rest assured that I will come back soon, I am a knight who guards the princess, you can rest assured!"

Zhou Heng nodded, Michelle took everyone to the car, of course, those female slaves followed the corresponding carriage, the convoy started instantly, Xiu'er and Zhu Yunmo also came out, these people were standing on the side of the road, watching the convoy slowly leave.

In one of the carriages, the curtain of the car was lifted to the corner, and a pair of eyes were exposed, Zhou Heng stared at those eyes and waved vigorously, put his hands to his lips, and shouted with a voice:

"Have a safe journey and take care of yourself!"

Michelle stood on the wheels of the car and kept waving to everyone, and many people also looked over.

The convoy then quickly headed towards the newly built road on the east side, gradually disappearing from view.

Xiu'er grabbed Zhou Heng's arm, she could feel Zhou Heng trembling, and Xiu'er raised her eyes to look at Zhou Heng.

"Don't be sad, I've been with you all the time!"

Zhou Heng patted Xiu'er and smiled with difficulty.

"It's okay, don't comfort me, I've done everything I need to do, I hope she can be well, escape all this, live freely once, let's go back to the capital, go to Beishan first, and explain Qu Ziping's affairs, I need to tell her again."
