Chapter 44 Repair Bridges and Roads

Wang Rouhua finished drinking, her cheeks were a little red, and Tie Xinyuan praised her mother from the bottom of her heart.

Makes her face look even more radiant.

Before walking into her room, Wang Rouhua looked at her son with some hesitation.

He muttered for a long time before he said, "If that child is really in danger, you might as well bring the child back."

Xia Zhu and they are all giants who are two feet tall, whether they wave their arms or move their legs and feet, it is possible that the child will die without a place to be buried.

Stay in our house, at least she can live. ”

Tie Xinyuan was stunned, from the time he saw the child until he left, all he thought about was all kinds of conspiracies and tricks that might happen, but he didn't think of how delicate and helpless that child was.

It was a bud that had just sprouted, and it couldn't stand up to those people to take advantage of it.

When his mother left, Tie Xinyuan sat down at the table, carefully removing all the meat from the meat bones and feeding it to the fox little by little.

This process took a long time, and when the fox began to play with his paws pulling at the flesh and bones that had no flesh left, Tie Xinyuan sighed, cleaned up the table, and returned to his room.

Ask the princess tomorrow, and take the child as long as she is not from the palace.

With a kind heart to protect your child, there shouldn't be any big trouble, right?

Tie Xinyuan comforted himself like this, leaving everything behind and falling asleep.

In June, Tokyo's official roads were dusty, and the dense trees were covered with dust.

Even the broad poplar leaves on both sides of the official road were obscured by a thick layer of dust.

Turning around the large poplar forest, you can see the vibrant Qiaozhuang.

Qiaozhuang grows the least amount of wheat, so when other people's fields are bare, Qiaozhuang's land is full of all kinds of greens.

A shiny silver canal winds its way through the fields from the Yellow River to Qiaozhuang.

Brother Qiao is repairing the official road today.

It's not a big project. On weekdays, the county government apportions labor to do this.

In order to exempt several brothers in Zhuangzi from servitude, Brother Qiao took the initiative to ask the government to repair the official road damaged by the heavy rain in advance, and also finished the labor in advance, so that he could have a good time in winter.

There is such a good thing, Kaifeng County is very satisfied, specially sent a doctor in charge of repairing the road to supervise the work, the labor can be supported in advance, but the road can not be hastily completed in two strokes at will.

Brother Qiao worked very hard to repair the road, dug up all the unsightly sections washed by the heavy rain, and added Sanhe soil to it. Finally, use a tamper to ram the porcelain, and finally use a large stone grinder to smooth the road surface.

The doctor who built the road saw that Brother Qiao's requirements for building the road were much higher than his own, so he didn't bother to supervise, and stayed in Shui Zhu'er's tea shed all day long, sleeping in the dark.

The main road was dug up, and pedestrians naturally had to take the small road.

The path was temporarily driven by Brother Qiao, and it was in the field, where the land was soft and could not be used by a large car. Heavy trucks, heavy goods need to be unloaded from here here, and people can resist horse-drawn horses to get through this bad road before they can reload the goods onto the light trucks that go by.

For this kind of thing. The business travelers basically have no complaints, after all, the road washed away by the rain is more troublesome to walk.

Now that someone has come out to build roads, it is already a good thing of immeasurable merit.

Ling'er rode a tall mule from a distance and unloaded a bag of watermelons from the mule's back. Throw them all into the nearby drain and ice them.

The rest will be sent to Shui Zhu'er.

When Brother Qiao saw that Ling'er was back, he stood up straight and looked into the distance, only to see a big piece of dust there. There should be a large group of people coming.

Brother Qiao dug a canal and let the water in the canal flow into the field next to it, but in an instant, the newly built path became a muddy puddle.

Brother Qiao said to Shui'er who was paving the road: "Go and invite Dr. He over, just say that there are only two white ash paved here." He needs to take a look. ”

Shui'er looked at the muddy puddle next to him and smiled, and ran to find Dr. He.

Qiao'er and the rest of the brothers quickly used shovels to bury the muddy puddle, and now the road looked fine, as soon as the carriage left, it would immediately sink into it.

Dr. He is very experienced in how to build roads, and he took a hammer and struck it heavily on the ground, and when he saw that the hammer had sunk down more than half an inch, he nodded and said to Brother Qiao: "The foundation of this road is hard, and it is okay to only pave two layers of white ash." It is important that the top is flattened. ”

Brother Qiao smiled: "What Dr. He said is that our family only wants to build a good road now, but we don't have the intention of cutting corners."

It's just that it's too hard to build roads on a hot day, so I want to take a trick. ”

Dr. He laughed and said, "The big officials are notoriously bold, how can Dr. Ben not know the truth."

The road you are building now is already the best way.

The ten-pound hammer only went into the ground half an inch, and you actually had enough materials.

When Helian Bobo built Tongwan City, he used this method to inspect the construction site.

But the savage's method was too barbaric, and if the hammer could not penetrate the ground, he would cut off the head of the overseer, and if the hammer entered the ground an inch, he would cut off the head of the laborer, which was inhuman! ”

The two of them talked happily, not noticing that a long convoy had been blocked on the other side of the road.

Brother Qiao accidentally saw those people, so he shouted in a thick voice: "Listen to the caravan on the other side, the road is being built here, and if you want to go over, you can unload the goods, carry them on the main road, and then enter Tokyo City." ”

The men didn't seem to hear, and were still waiting there, swords unsheathed, as if ready to rush at any moment.

Dr. Ho frowned, dusted off his official clothes, and walked over to the group.

Fidgetily pointed to the path next to him, and then retreated.

"Bad luck, we just talked about the wild people, and the wild men came, all stupidly holding knives, as if someone wanted to rob them of their goods.

It's less than five miles from the city of Tokyo, and any thief who doesn't have long eyes will come here to commit a crime.

A group of dirt buns who have never seen the world. ”

Brother Qiao smiled and said: "Since it's a fool, let's ignore it, my brother just got some watermelons from Dawangzhuang, and the water is icing, it should be about the same now, I'll catch two to quench my thirst." ”

After that, he ignored a Hu man who came over, and together with Dr. He, he fished up a big watermelon, took out a sharp knife to untie his wrist and killed it, and beckoned his brothers and sisters to come over and eat melons.

When he pulled out the knife, the Hu man who was walking by immediately ran away when he saw the knife, causing Dr. He and his brothers to laugh in unison.

A Song man wearing an official robe walked out of the convoy, and Dr. He glanced at the man's official robe and beckoned him to come over and eat melons with a smile.

Brother Qiao couldn't help but stuff a piece of watermelon into the hand of the visitor, and said angrily: "Where did those fools come from, and they didn't leave until they showed them the way?" ”

Unexpectedly, the officials who came over were also full of resentment, and took a bite of watermelon and scolded: "They are all fools who come back to the Yellow Head."

Lao Tzu told them that this is already the boundary of Tokyo, where there will be any bandits, they don't believe it, and insist that you have deliberately dug up the road here and are going to rob them.

Ignore those fools, let's relax first. ”

Dr. He shook his official clothes and said, "The old man is a doctor of material in Kaifeng County, and it is the first time that he has been treated as a thief.

Where is Brother Ren wandering? ”

The official who came over hurriedly put down the watermelon and arched his hand and said: "Junior brother Zhou Tong, who served as a welcome officer in Luoyang Mansion, received this unlucky errand when the official was young." ”

When Tie Xinyuan yawned and came out of the woods by the roadside, he somehow startled a large flock of birds.

Under the roar of the Uighurs led by the Uighurs, the group of Uighurs suddenly formed a circle on the road.

He Shi Ran came to the front of the Hui people led by him, looked curiously at this group of Hui people who were still wearing thick leather jackets even in the summer, and arched his hands very politely, and came to see the lively Qiao Brother and them.

Dr. He was already lying on the ground with a smile, patting the mat on the ground and laughing: "The old man has lived to this day before he understands what a frightened bird is."

It's funny that a student can scare this group of people. ”

Zhou Tong, who was originally a little worried, followed with a smile: "It turned out to be too a student." ”

After Tie Xinyuan walked over, he picked up a piece of watermelon and took a bite and asked Zhou Tong: "Have these people been robbed many times?" ”

Zhou Tong bowed and said: "That's true, Changgu Mountain has encountered thieves, seven or eight have been killed, five or six have been kidnapped, and those Hui people are going to take people to question Kaifeng Mansion." ”

Tie Xinyuan nodded and said, "I see, then why don't you go into Beijing quickly, is it comfortable to stand on the road in such weather?" ”

Zhou Tong looked at the endless pedestrians, and then looked at the city of Tokyo that was close at hand, so he dropped the watermelon peel and went to explain the situation to the returner.

Dr. He waved his hand and said, "Rest, rest, after this group of ignorant Hui people have passed, we will start the construction again, anyway, the work will be finished in one more day, and we will not rush the construction period." ”

Dr. He went back to sleep in the tea shed, and Shui'er and Fu'er dragged a mat and found a shady place to sleep.

Qiao'er and Tie Xinyuan sat in place, eating watermelon and talking quietly.

"Sixteen wagons, seven camels, forty-six horsemen, fifteen camel-bearers on foot.

How many people were in the carriage do not know. ”

Brother Qiao smiled: "I will know right away, there are several carriages with serious loads, and the extraterrestrial meteorite must be among them." ”

Perhaps Zhou Tong's explanation played a role, and the seven-peaked camel first came out of the mud pit.

The Uighurs at the head frowned as they peered into the mud pit, their eyes staring at Tie Xinyuan and Qiao Ge'er like falcons.

After looking at it for a long time, he drew his saber, sat on his horse and gave an order, and the people sitting in the carriage opposite got down from it one by one. (To be continued.) )
