Chapter 236: Shangliang

The people of Tulitun naturally don't know about Jiang Long's deep gratitude.

However, after escaping the catastrophe, the adult men in Tulitun all ran into the county seat one after another and also signed up to join the team of digging the river.

And when he saw people, he said that he praised Jiang Long's strategy.

Although he ambushed and successfully ambushed Hu Chige, Jiang Long did not change his mind, and still let the people participate in the reconstruction work in the city first, and after two days, if there was no accident, he would go out of the city to dig the river, so many people gathered together, and the words of the people of Tulitun spread rapidly.

Rumors tend to exaggerate the facts, especially if they are spread by many people, and they will be detached from the facts.

"I heard that the county commander can pinch and calculate, and he calculated that the enemy would go to Tutulitun, so he sent the border army there to ambush in advance."

"Really?"

"What are you lying to you for?"

Another person joined, "What can you pinch and count?" I've heard people say that our county commander Jing is simply a god descending from heaven! ”

As a result, Jiang Long's reputation rose again.

Most of the people in this era worship God and believe in Buddhism, so they respect Jianglong like a god.

In this mentality, the people work harder.

Hu Chige originally wanted to come here to kill Jiang Long and establish his prestige on the prairie, but he didn't want Jiang Long to really have prestige in Lingtong County.

The day after the enemy retreated, Jiang Long came to inspect the first rebuilt Dongcheng.

The people, who were building houses on the ground, immediately fell to their knees.

Jiang Long stretched out his hand to help everyone get up.

With so many people kneeling together, Jiang Long was not used to it, but his prestige was too high at this time, and he persuaded him several times that it was not necessary to do so, wasting a lot of saliva, but the people still did not change, and they could only rely on the people.

After the people got up, they threw themselves back into their work.

When I came to the place where the construction was started, there were more than 30 families here who had already built their houses and courtyard walls.

Only the upper beam remains, then the rafters, the mat, and then the mud of the house.

Jiang Long walked into one of them, came to the house, stroked the red bricks with his hands, and looked at it with his eyes, and found that the wall was very straight and upright, and came to the window, the window frame that had not yet been painted was very smooth, and he stroked it back and forth, and he would not prick his hands at all, and he was quite satisfied with it.

The new house planned by Jianglong is composed of a large main hall, two partial houses on the left and right, as well as a stove room and an east wing room, as well as a courtyard of half an acre.

The stove room is not just a kitchen, but there are also three rooms, the leftmost one is the stove room, and the other two rooms can be used for people and storage of things.

There are also three rooms in the east wing, which are used for living.

Although the early death rate of babies is relatively high, most families also have three or four children, plus parents, and grandparents, on average, there are about seven or eight people in each family.

The main hall is naturally a place to meet guests, the left side room is for grandparents, and the right side room is for parents.

There are two empty rooms on the stove side, and there are three rooms in the east wing, which is enough for a family of seven or eight people.

Of course, there are also more complex families, such as grandparents who are there, but have not yet separated, and there are several parents of the generation.

Naturally, such a house will be more crowded.

But Jiang Long didn't think about it further, he really didn't have that much ability and energy to make everything perfect.

With this kind of planning, it is already much larger than the demolished houses.

Half an acre of courtyard where you can grow some vegetables.

Now Jianglong is also encountering some problems, that is, the wells here are not easy to drill.

It is often necessary to dig several before a single well can be dug.

And most of the wells are bitter and salty wells.

Jiang Long knew that there was coarse salt and some trace elements in the saltwater well, but it also contained some toxic substances, which were not suitable for long-term drinking.

In the northwest of Jianglong's previous life, the old people in some places have been drinking saltwater wells, and as a result, they are hunched over one by one, and their eyes can only see their feet, and they lock the door, and they have to retreat to the middle of the big courtyard to see if the lock is locked.

Therefore, Jiang Long strictly ordered that you must be patient when digging wells.

Fresh water wells had to be dug to do so.

Some people are more experienced in digging wells, and they are also bitter when they hear it.

Although in many places, people drink saltwater wells, but at this time they dare not refute it.

Jiang Long told that we should dig as many wells as possible, because the number of wells is too large, and the people will divert and carry water, so that they will not have to queue up too long every day, delay time, and dig out the saltwater wells, and do not bother to fill them up, just cover them with a larger and heavier stone slab.

After chatting with a few masters who were digging wells for a while, Jiang Long walked back, patted the dust on his body, and asked Xiao Fan with a smile, "When will you go to the beam?" ”

There are already several rows of houses in front of me, and the houses and courtyards have been built.

In the first row, there are at least 30 households.

There are more than 50 households, and this is planned according to the terrain and area.

"If the little master wants to watch, he can go to the beam in the afternoon." Xiao Fan replied with a smile.

"Okay, then go to the beam in the afternoon!"

Jiang Long remembered his previous life, when he lived in an orphanage, the dean also invited craftsmen to build a house, remembered that when he was on the beam, he also specially bought walnut candy, sang auspicious words in his mouth, and threw it down, trying to be happy, and also had a beautiful meaning.

The orphanage was not rich, so the old director bought candy, secretly hid it, and then distributed it to the children afterwards.

After going home for dinner at noon, Jiang Long came here early to see Shangliang.

Xiao Fan had already led people to wait here, and when he saw Jiang Long coming, he ordered the craftsmen to go to the beam.

These people sang auspicious words while going up the beam.

"Feet climb the ladder step by step, hand climb the flower branch to pick the peach; If you want to ask where the apprentices are going, I will go to Jinliang; Looking at a dragon high up, shaking its head and tail and going up; When he went to the air, he fixed his position, and waited for the master to come and hang the red; Hanging red hanging in the nine dragon heads, every year the five grains harvest; Hanging red on the tail of the nine dragons, for the official to love the people as clear as water; Mindfulness looked up, and the three immortals of Fu Lu Shou came;

Increase the blessing of the immortal, increase the longevity of the immortal, and the bangs sprinkle money; One sprinkled gold, two sprinkled silver, and three scattered mules and horses into a herd; Gold and silver are sprinkled on the treasure beams, and glory and wealth will last forever......"

While singing auspicious words, the craftsmen carried the beams up the ladder and finally placed them in the pre-selected place.

"Grab the walnuts."

"This is my candy."

"You are not allowed to rob me."

As Jiang Long asked the craftsmen to spill the candy walnuts, the children who gathered around to watch the excitement ran over and bent down to pick them up.

A few moments later, some of the women joined in.

Jiang Long looked at the smiling faces of everyone in front of him, and the corners of his mouth were also raised.

After a while, Jiang Long left.

I faintly heard a child's excited voice in my ears, "My family used to live here, and then this yard will be ours......"

These words naturally attracted the envy of many friends.

Two days after the rebuilding of the city, seeing that there was no movement on the other side, Jiang Long continued to let the people go out of the city to dig the river.

Of course, he naturally sent scouts to patrol back and forth from a distance.

When Minzhuang first arrived, he didn't have any tools at hand, and most of them were building temporary shelters, and at this time, the river was officially excavated.

Jiang Long had already instructed the blacksmiths in the city to make shovels and pickaxes, and the organization behind Dai Lisi had already sent the smuggled iron ingots, so in the past few days, the blacksmiths have all worked overtime late and night, and they have already made batches of iron tools.

With the tools at hand, the speed of digging the river is naturally not slow.

The excavated soil was pulled by horse-drawn carts to low-lying places and dumped.

The food is full, the work is not low, and the people are in full swing.

All matters on the Lingtong County side are on the right track, and in Wangsha City, Pang Chengan is frowning.

Because he had already received Jiang Long's excerpt of defending the city and repelling the alien army, he did not dare to report this excerpt as soon as possible, although this was a big victory, and more than 400 alien soldiers were killed, and the reason was nothing more than the mismatch between the prince and Jingfu.

If this fold is handed over, the emperor will inevitably reward Jiang Long.

The crown prince was certainly not happy.

On the day he received the excerpt, Pang Chengan sent someone to privately notify Zhizhou Wenshang, but Wenshang's side never sent a message.

Jean didn't know what to do with it.

So he called a few of his henchmen to discuss.

If Jiang Long was not from a famous family, a few of his subordinates would naturally be able to come up with a way, and even directly take the credit to themselves.

But right now, there's really no good way to do it.

You must know that people can directly deliver the message back to the capital.

Grabbing credit or concealing it is a bit unworkable.

Besides, He Huan on the army side will also report it, He Huan ambushed Tulitun, and there are more than 200 foreign sergeants who have disappeared.

Without discussing the result, Pang Chengan asked his subordinates to withdraw.

It wasn't until the evening that the man sent to inform Wen Shang came back, saying that Wen Shang had made a substitution.

Today's emperor doesn't like Jingfu either!

Pang Cheng'an's brows were furrowed for a few days, and he was instantly relieved.

Find Peng Xi, the director of Gongcao, and let Peng Xi go to Lingtong County.

So the final result of Jiang Long's great achievement was just that Peng Xi came forward to say a few words of commendation.

Other officials in Lingtong County were very dissatisfied.

They also participated in the defense of the city, and the credit was erased.

But Jiang Long didn't care too much.

What he has to do now is to dig rivers and cultivate fields, which is a merit that benefits one party and can be passed down for hundreds of generations.

If you are transferred by the emperor because you have made some contributions, even if you are promoted to the next level, it will also fall short.

Pang Cheng'an's treatment like this is exactly what he wants.

For Zhou Xi and others, Jiang Long could only be appeased with good words.

Zhou Xi and the others are not stupid, and now that they see that the city is booming inside and outside the city, they can naturally think that things will be done and there will be great credit, so they will settle down.

You must not blush with Jiang Long.

In May, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the blue sky, and in the sky, there are eagles and eagles flying over from time to time.

Jiang Long drew a section of the river route on this day, and suddenly looked up, looking at the dark green grassland, he remembered, when he left the capital, he promised Mrs. Jing to draw a grassland map and send it back to Jingfu.

Throwing away the work in his hand, Jiang Long jumped on the back of the snow field and ran towards the depths of the grassland.

Tudu, Qin Yu, Gunty Bak, and Fan Ren didn't know what Jiang Long was going to do, so they rode on their horses and followed closely behind.
