- "You're still laughing!" Seeing that Chen Ke was overjoyed, Liu Yue'e fell into the ice cellar: "It turns out that I am so ridiculous in your eyes......"

"No, no, you made me laugh first." Chen Ke wiped the tears from laughter and said: "I am laughing at your cup bow snake shadow, it is an ordinary cold and flu, why did you think of smallpox?" ”

"Isn't a headache and fatigue a precursor to smallpox?" Liu Yue'e didn't believe it.

"It's a precursor," Chen Ke said with a smile: "But if you have a headache and fatigue, it has to be smallpox?" ”

"You said that this disease is very contagious, and only those who have pox can avoid it......" Liu Yue'e said with a pout.

"Yes, but you've already had pox!" Chen Ke then revealed the reason why he had always been there.

"When?" Liu Yue's red and swollen eyes widened, like two ripe apricots: "Why don't I know?" ”

"Remember when I changed your dressing for the last time last year, I suddenly gave you a blow on your left arm?" Chen Ke smiled a little smugly.

"Hmm." Liu Yue'e nodded and recalled, "At that time, you told me that you were letting me release poisonous blood. I also ask you, why did a drop of blood come out? You look at me and say, this shows that the recovery is good...... "Although it was last year, she still remembers it vividly.

"In the next two days, did you feel a little tired and a little feverish?" Chen Ke asked with a smile.

Liu Yue'e thought carefully: "It seems to be like this, but I thought it was a normal reaction after being injured. After a little discomfort for two days, I was fine, just on my arm. left a scar the size of a mung bean, and it didn't work to smear the medicine of the imperial doctor...... "It seems that the girl really cares more about the scar."

"That's the cowpox I planted for you," Chen Ke said with a smile: "At that time, I searched for several days before I found a milkmaid who was suffering from cowpox, took a little pus from her affected area, and bottled it in a pure porcelain bottle." before I came to your house. Not only you, but also your grandparents, I also planted it. I'm just worried that you won't be able to accept it, so I didn't tell the truth. ”

"So, I can't get smallpox?" Liu Yue'e asked stunned.

"Of course. Planted my cowpox, to keep you worry-free for the rest of your life. Chen Ke said triumphantly: "How is it?" Don't be too moved, just make a promise......" His voice became smaller and smaller, because he saw Liu Yue'e's eyes, burning with anger.

"Well, it's okay if you don't appreciate it, but you can't take revenge......" Chen Ke couldn't help but say with a weak heart.

"You go to die!" Liu Yue's anger started from her heart, and her strength came from her guts, so she couldn't lift her fingers, and she actually flew up at this moment.

Fortunately, Chen Ke was prepared. A carp jumped out of bed and said angrily: "You mother's skin is so fickle, and you just said that you want to get rid of the problem of moving your hands and feet!" ”

"You bastard! Why didn't you tell me when you entered the village! Liu Yue'e threw the pillow at Chen Ke and said angrily.

"I focus on the success or failure of the great cause, the survival of thousands of people." Chen Ke defended with a righteous face: "I didn't take care of you for a while. Understandable, too? ”

"Understand ......" Liu Yue'e nodded, and was so angry that she lifted the quilt and sat up, ignoring the thin clothes and curves, and said angrily: "Then why didn't you say it just now?" But you want to take advantage of me? ”

"I just said, how can I make you vomit your heart?" Chen Ke smiled and said: "Lady, forgive me, although the means of Xiaosheng are not very glorious. But the purpose is still good. ”

"Who's your lady? Hugh should take other people's stupid words seriously! Liu Yue'e turned her face and didn't admit it, and flew up and kicked at Chen Ke: "I'm going to teach you a good lesson today, and you will know that the big liar who takes advantage of others!" ”

Chen Ke didn't dodge or dodge, spread his hands on his chest, grabbed her jade feet wearing only Luo socks, sniffed deeply, and said: "After running such a long way, it doesn't stink at all...... "Liu Yue'e was so ashamed that her legs almost weakened and fell to the ground. …,

Chen Ke hurriedly leaned over to support her amazingly elastic waist and said: "Lady, the most important thing to be a man is to do what you can, and when you are sick, don't provoke a war." Are you hungry, I'll cook a bowl of noodles? ”

"Even if you're paralyzed, I can beat you!" Liu Yue'e sneered, and twisted her body into an elbow, hitting Chen Ke's lower abdomen.

Chen Ke was a little careless, and he was tricked. Although his strength was not as good as usual, he still retreated again and again in pain, and said angrily: "Don't blame me for taking advantage of others!" ”

"If you have the ability, take revenge." Liu Yue'e sneered.

After speaking, the two of them fought in one place, and for a while, pink fists and thick legs flew together, and the seats and benches were shattered......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The guards in the outer compartment all looked at each other when they heard that the fight was raging inside, and a few newly promoted second poles actually wanted to rush in to rescue the adults. Fortunately, Chen Yi's brain was not muddled, he kicked the buttocks of those boys hard, and scolded in a low voice: "The adults are dear, what are you mixing with." ”

"Dear? How can it be dear? The guards were puzzled and said, "I just heard the screams of the adults......

"It's good to get used to it in the future, adults often say that beating is kissing, scolding is love, and kicking ...... with your feet is not enough" Chen Yi taught the juniors with an old face: "Understand? ”

"Oh......" The guards nodded blankly, and said in their hearts, the quirks of the big guys are really incomprehensible......

It took a long time for the tea to stop, and then there was a long silence.

It wasn't until it was dark that Chen Ke came out of it, and although the lights were dim and he couldn't see his face clearly, Chen Yi still hurriedly sent the prepared eggs.

"Damn, can't you have a little faith in me?" Chen Ke took a sip, but still took the egg, gritting his teeth to deal with the bruises at the corners of his eyes.

"I don't know, what are the results of today's battle?" Chen Yi hurriedly remedied.

"There were three rounds." Chen Ke said: "I didn't win the first game, she didn't lose the second game, and in the third game, I said let's draw, no one will do it." ”

"Hey......" The guards couldn't help but smile bitterly, Lord Liu is really powerful! If you are sick, you can clean up the adults. However, they never meant to laugh at Chen Ke, because their martial arts were all taught by Liu Yue'e, and they were not convinced at the beginning. was beaten up by her, and then she was obedient.

"Don't think I can't even beat a sick tiger." Chen Ke felt that his face was dull, and he said stiffly: "Actually, I am here to treat her, understand?" I have to sweat when I have a cold, and I have to have a good night's sleep, so I fought with her three times, but I can't let her lose......" said that he blushed. Hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I don't understand what I told you, the chicken and the duck talk." With that, he shook his head and went back to the house.

The next morning. Shen Kuo went to find him, although the bruises on Chen Ke's face were not obvious, Shen Kuo looked at it with his many years of experience. Mr. Chen must have suffered domestic violence yesterday. No way, who made the Song Dynasty have more wives? Even the official family has eaten the queen's slap. Shen Kuo is even a gold card member of the Wife Club...... Chen Ke is at least still fighting, he is a powerless scientist, and he can only be beaten.

Chen Ke ignored the concerned eyes of this guy, and hurriedly got to the point: "How long will it take to plant pox for everyone, have you calculated it?" ”

"If we adopt the method of our subordinates, we can plant 100,000 people, plus more than 200,000 people from various departments along the line, in a month." Shen Kuo sighed and said, "But the adults insist on planting cowpox." This is difficult, and it is estimated that it will not be completed in half a year. ”

"The account can't be calculated like this, and I just don't know the method of cowpox." Chen Ke said: "In order to pursue speed, there are safer ways not to use, but to expose people to danger." It's a crime. ”

"Aren't you in a hurry?" Shen Kuo appreciated Chen Ke's point very much, but he also didn't understand it, because Chen Ke didn't say things like other big officials, 'let the people suffer', or 'focus on the overall situation'. In his eyes, it seems that 'loving the people like a son' is not an empty phrase. It's a tangible belief. …,

'I hope this belief will not be wiped out by the filthy officialdom, or at least, it will last ......as long as possible,' Shen Kuo said silently in his heart.

"The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive." Chen Ke shook his head and said, "I'd rather not finish it this year." He smiled and said, "Of course, if the two don't delay, it will be better." ”

"Think ......beautifully," Shen Kuo said with a wry smile: "Even if you are working while planting pox, the construction period will be delayed by one to two months." "Because after the pox, I need to rest and observe for two days. And those who don't have pox will inevitably be panicked, and even if they work hard, the efficiency is not optimistic.

"When the time comes, how long will the dry road be taken?" Chen Ke had no choice but to retreat.

"It still needs to be surveyed, but in terms of experience alone, it will take at least 100 miles." Shen Kuo said cautiously.

"Intermodal transport is intermodal transport," Chen Ke sighed and said: "People can't be greedy, there is only less than one-tenth of the dry road, which is already a great improvement." ”

"Yes, the cost of transportation will be greatly reduced. Compared with the current situation, more than 1,000,000 catties of copper can be transported every year, and 67/10 of the cost of land transportation can be saved, so that the export of Yunnan copper, the domestic transportation of foreign grain, and even the trafficking of rice and salt and goods by merchant ships to the Dali mutual market will definitely increase greatly. Shen Kuo nodded and smiled: "The benefits of opening the river have begun to bear fruit. In the coming year, the remaining river section will be completely opened, so that the goods will not leave the ship, straight down to Guangxi, the cost will drop by half, but the volume will be greatly increased. ”

"Don't be too optimistic," Chen Ke said with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "Let's run it for a year first." I have to admit that he is a little too optimistic in his prediction of the effectiveness of the Hongshui River project. Even after the construction, the river still needs four or five thousand full-time services to maintain its operation. And the beach insurance that has been repaired will be due to the rising water in summer and autumn, or there will be sand and gravel congestion, and the cost of repair is very huge, and the increase in cost far exceeds the budget.

However, the flaws are not concealed, the Hongshui River is already the best waterway out of Sichuan, think about the heyday of the Qing Dynasty in later generations, in order to transport Yunnan copper, and repair the Jinsha River waterway, intermittently, before and after seven years, the cost is not less than his own, but he still sinks all day long, and the daily maintenance cost is even higher, Chen Ke feels more balanced-

Partition -

The difficulty of the Jinsha River is much greater than that of the Hongshui River, and the Qing government used more than 10,000 people to repair the first half of the section in one year and the second half of the section in two years. So I think it should be reasonable for Xiao Chen to use 100,000 people to repair most of the time in a year.

Ask for a monthly pass, tomorrow is still three watches...... (To be continued)
