Zheng Sheng was even more strange, "You don't have to tell me about this kind of thing, right?" "It's not his business to cooperate with people to negotiate business!

"He's got a bit of a big appetite and it's not in our interest to work with him. But Shi Copper is the person of Shi Chong, the assassin of Jingzhou, but we must deal with it carefully! Zheng Wen was a little worried.

Zheng Wen thought that it was inappropriate to directly reject the person who had assassinated Jingzhou, so he came to Zheng Sheng to discuss a solution.

"Thorn Shi Chong." Zheng Sheng felt that this name was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard this name, and what he did to make him impressed, "Since that's the case, just refuse." We are in Shunyang, even if the other party is Jingzhou Thorn History, we don't need to be afraid! ”

Zheng Wen still left with some apprehension.

From the end of October to the end of November, which lasted nearly a month, the two rivers that Zheng Sheng wanted to dredge and the main canal that was inclined to dredge were completed.

He had planned to dredge the downstream of the Mingquan Creek after the confluence of the Nord Stream in one go, but a sudden heavy snowfall completely disrupted the plan.

The ditch repair was temporarily completed. Immediately, Wang Zhong dismissed the servants. It happened that there was only one month before the first day, and Zheng Sheng planned to start work again after the first day, in the period before the arrival of spring ploughing.

Wang Zhong kept complaining to Zheng Sheng, "Shizi, where does the money come from to start work again?" We're struggling to make ends meet now! ”

"Isn't it just over half the cost of six million?" Zheng Sheng said, "The downstream section of Mingquan Creek is only more than ten miles long, and the canal connecting Mingquan Creek to Beilishui is only five or six miles, and the amount of work is only half of what has been completed so far." Money is enough, butler, rest assured! ”

Wang Zhong thought for a while, "Shizi, that's all there is to the project after the year, right?" If we continue to repair it, we will be really poor next year! ”

Zheng Sheng nodded, he looked at the map, "The south and north are in debt, they can't be repaired this winter, and the time is tight." Just next spring and summer to see the effectiveness of our governance, if the Mingquan Creek is no longer flooding, we will continue to repair next winter! ”

Wang Zhong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Shizi, except for this matter. There is one more thing: Lizheng and the three elders of the villages of Debt Nanju, Wutianju, Songzhuang and Hushiju have all asked me for questions. ”

Zheng Sheng frowned, "What do they want to do?" ”

"Mingquan built a canal, and they wanted to go there to open up the land and cultivate the fields. Will the sons of the world answer them? ”

Zheng Sheng was stunned, "This is a good thing." However, Songzhuang and Wutianju are near Mingquan Creek, and the debt south is gathered in the debt water more than ten miles away, while the Hu family gathering is farther away, do they plan to run such a long way to farm every day? ”

In fact, these villages are located in the Debt Water Basin, bypassing the Beixi and South Debt Water areas, and are scattered and inhabited. Songzhuang is on the north side of the middle reaches of the North Stream, and Wutian is gathered on the east side of the lower reaches of the Mingquan River. The people of these two villages are indeed quite close, and it is normal for them to want to come and reclaim the land of Mingquan Creek. But are the people who are in debt Nanju and Hu Shiju dizzy?

"Shizi, in fact, what the people who are in debt in the south and Hu wants to ask is whether we should repair the debt water in the south and north." The king sighed inwardly and showed what he had heard from his conversation with them.

Zheng Sheng nodded and smiled: "Of course repair!" You can tell them explicitly. You see, is the construction of canals the desire of the people? As long as we do this, people within a radius of dozens of miles will be convinced of us! ”

Wang Zhong nodded, agreeing with his point of view, "In addition, in the villages of Shepan, Longwei, Xiquan, and Shuangxi, many villagers have asked to move to Mingquan Creek to live. ”

Zheng Sheng thought for a while, "How many people are there?" ”

Almost all the men who came to repair the canal expressed this intention. There will be about 100 households. ”

Zheng Sheng nodded, "No problem." Let them go back and bring out those who have not come to repair the canal. These villages are relatively poor. ”

He now has a thorough understanding of all the villages in the "territory", and the vast majority of the people in Jushuiju, Wutianju, Jinanju, Songzhuang, and Hushi Ju make a living from farming. There are more than 400 households in these villages.

For example, the largest number of people in Wutianju was slowly developed by people with the surname Tian of the five families, with a population of hundreds of households. However, not to mention anything else, Daddy Zheng's fiefdom, Lijia Village, and Lindanju have more than 100 households, and Xinzhuang in Danshui North is a larger village with more than 200 households.

So, there are few people in the territory!

Even fewer people live in the small villages in the mountains! Most of them make a living from hunting, but now they have the idea of going out into the mountains.

Zheng Sheng, of course, welcomes it.

"This month, we are going to build the house in Qushouju, and after the New Year, we can let the families of Huweiying live in their new homes. And most of the people in Shepan and other villages are hunters, so let's move them to Qushou to gather. At the foot of Wanquan Mountain, it is also convenient for them to hunt. Nor will their hunting skills be completely lost. Zheng Sheng said while thinking.

The first gathering of the canal is the place where the fourth detachment camped at the beginning, because the location is the southernmost part of the canal, so the village is named after it.

Wang Zhong nodded, "In this way, there are more than 200 households in Qushouju." By the way, Shizi, the canal has been repaired, what is its name? ”

Zheng Sheng thought about it and said with a smile, "Why don't you call it Zheng Qu?" ”

"Back then, Zheng Guo built a Zheng Guo Canal, which was built by the prince, so it might as well be called Zheng Sheng Canal."

Zheng Sheng almost fell, "Zheng Guoqu is a big project in Guanzhong!" Hundreds of miles, our small canal of less than ten miles is named after it? What a shame! Not good! ”

The king was speechless, this is obviously a good thing!

Zheng Sheng suddenly thought of something, "Why don't you call Wang Zhengqu?" ”

Wang Zhong was surprised, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"A person named Wang Zhong presided over the construction of a canal belonging to the Zheng family, simply put, it is called Wang Zheng Canal."

Wang Zhong showed an expression of disbelief on his face, and a hint of relief also flashed away, and he coughed, "Shizi, Wang Zheng, dead Zheng Ye, this name is very inappropriate." ”

"Wang Zheng, Wang Zhengye, think like this, what's wrong with it?" Zheng Sheng argued, "Or, call Zheng Wangqu?" ”

Wang Zhong hurriedly shook his head, "This is even more taboo, no." ”

"Then Wang Zhengqu! Four Voices of Wang. ”

Wang Zhong sighed again and again, he knew that this was the case, it was better to listen to Zheng Sheng's original opinion, called Zheng Qu!

Although, Wang Zhengqu is not bad.

After discussing the matter with Wang Zhong, Zheng Sheng was free.

Because it was winter, and it was snowing again, equestrian training had long since stopped.

Recently, Zheng Sheng has only been left with two daily homework to do every day: sparring with people and running.

He thought about it for a while, and went out to Liu Wei'er and Qing'er's rooms.

There's nothing to do in the winter. Qing'er, who was on duty this afternoon, sneaked back to the room at some point.

At this time, the two of them were sitting at the table with Wen Xiaoting, not knowing what they were saying.

Zheng Sheng felt that Wen Xiaoting really had some means, and Qing'er didn't come for many days, so Wen Xiaoting "abducted" her away. The reason is that Qing'er, who came to the horse farm late, is very envious of them for being able to ride horses, but she doesn't dare to try them in the face of those ponies.

But she still believes that Wen Xiaoting is a powerful person who is only a little worse than the world, so in her free time, she always follows behind Wen Xiaoting and regards her as a role model.

Zheng Sheng secretly thought in his heart that with a "tomboy" like Wen Xiaoting, Qing'er would definitely be taken badly! So he decided to send Qing'er back to Qingzhuling next year.

Some people are easily influenced by those around them, and some people are not disturbed by the outside world at all.

Zheng Sheng looked at them, here was Qing'er, whose expression and movements were becoming more and more like Wen Xiaoting, and over there was Liu Wei'er, who had a warm face and a gentle attitude.

One is honest and the other is sensible, which is more popular? In fact, it's just that their respective circumstances are different.

When Wen Xiaoting saw Zheng Sheng, her face suddenly became very unhappy, "This is a woman's residence, please go out!" ”

Zheng Sheng said angrily, "What kind of woman are you?" Just kids! Me too, what's ......"

A small mirror flew straight at his face, Zheng Sheng's eyes were quick, and he fished it in his hand, "You madman!" It's a white glass thing! Although in his opinion, this thing is not worth saying more, but they are different!

Qing'er likes this mirror very much!

But I don't know where Wen Xiaoting's anger came from, after listening to his words, she became even more angry, and threw several pieces of gold and silver jewelry in front of her, such as bracelets, hairpins, etc., to Zheng Sheng one by one.

Suddenly, Zheng Sheng was overwhelmed.

The hairpin is a sharp weapon! Wen Xiaoting has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and these "secret weapons" are also out of the air. Zheng Sheng had no choice but to flee from this dangerous place quickly.

Wen Xiaoting looked at the stunned two people, stroked her palms and laughed, "Eh, this is called 'holding the head of the rat'!" Sniff, I didn't use the idiom you taught me, right? ”

Qing'er suddenly realized and laughed as well.

Liu Wen'er got up helplessly, "The prince came to us, probably because of something, right?" You go on, I'll go and see. ”

Wen Xiaoting complained unhappily.

Zheng Sheng was really depressed, he knew that without Wenwei's control, she would be even more out of place than before, and Zheng Sheng would never agree to her staying.

"What are you discussing?" Zheng Sheng asked curiously.

Liu Wei'er told him about today's events.

Wen Xiaoting is still not very satisfied with Qing'er's little follower, because Qing'er thinks that she is a little worse than Zheng Sheng, so the two often discuss the issue of "whether it is bad or not, where is the difference".

Today, Wen Xiaoting took out a few pieces of jewelry given to her by her father, brother, relatives and others and gave them to Qing'er.

She probably thought that Zheng Sheng would not be very generous to give Qing'er a handmaid jewelry or something. But Qing'er, who was not convinced, took out the glass mirror and glass ball, "This is white glass, the prince gave it to me!" ”

Baili is now a new upstart on the market. The value is much higher than that of gold, silver, and jade.

Then, Zheng Sheng bumped into Wen Xiaoting, who was sulking.

Zheng Sheng smiled bitterly, "Oh my God, what is this called!" ”

Liu Wei'er suddenly lowered her head and said uneasily, "Shizi, I have something to tell you. The people in the spring breeze are looking for me again......"

Liu Wei'er was very helpless, she didn't want to do anything else that time, she just wanted to persuade Liu Guzi to learn horses well. showed the techniques that her father taught her, and also to prove her own identity.

But in the past two months, Liu Lan, Liu Shangsheng and others have come to see her. Although it was only an inquiry, Liu Wei'er was worried that she would be involved again, and she was even more worried that Zheng Sheng would dislike her because of this.

After speaking, Liu Wei'er was uneasy.

Zheng Sheng thought about it for a while and whispered to her, "It's okay, this matter ...... I'll take care of it! ”
