The main river channel on the periphery has not yet been dug up, and Jianglong is already planning other small river channels.

How to plan this is a lot more troublesome.

It is necessary to ensure that water can be diverted to all places according to the area of wasteland and the direction of the terrain, and a river must pass through the moat of the county town to ensure that the moat will not be cut off.

After a busy period of work, Jiang Long finally decided to dig five more rivers.

These five rivers are large and small, long and short.

The largest river was to ensure that after the alien army had crossed the outer river, if the river bank was dug to attack the city, the river channel would divert the water.

Although there are still five rivers to be dug, the total number of works is not much different from that of the main river on the periphery.

These channels don't have to be dug so deep and so wide.

In addition to digging rivers, it is necessary to dig ditches to divert water to the fields.

These ditches are to be carried out as much as necessary, forming a network of rivers to ensure that all farmland can be watered.

It was almost noon, and Jiang Long was busy with a group of people for a long time.

Back in the city, enter a newly opened restaurant.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant personally greeted him and beckoned everyone upstairs to the private room.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, after the restaurant opened, how was the business?" Jiang Long smiled kindly and asked.

"Thank you for the concern of the county magistrate, the business of the small shop is booming."

"It's good to be on fire."

Jiang Long said with a smile: "Then are there any officials or officials who come to the restaurant to eat and drink for nothing?" ”

"No, no, absolutely not!" The shopkeeper waved his hand again and again.

Tudu interjected with a straight face at this time, "Even if you say something, don't be afraid, Lord Jing will call the shots for you, and no one in the entire Lingtong County will dare to come to retaliate against you." ”

"It's really not!" The Zhang family behind the shopkeeper Zhang is not a big family.

It's just a small yield.

In the past, when I did business in other places, because the background was not hard enough, I would always meet some officials or gentlemen who ate and drank for nothing.

I came here to open a restaurant, but I didn't encounter any of them.

At first he thought it strange and even unaccustomed.

In the past, it was necessary to give filial piety to local officials, and then make friends to meet some children of official families who could not be offended.

In this way, even if there will be a certain loss, you will always know the local taboos, know who can provoke whom, and never offend, so that you can do business with confidence.

In this cold place, there is not a single official who takes bribes, and there are no gentlemen who come to eat white food.

There are no ruffians looking for trouble, he always feels a little flustered and unsteady.

It wasn't until I asked around that I realized that Jiang Long was originally very strict.

No official or official dared to collect protection money in secret.

"It's better not to lie to us!" Tu Du's face suddenly changed, and he said sharply: "If someone dares to eat white food and charge protection money, you name it, and Lord Jing will naturally come forward to call the shots for you."

But if someone is clearly breaking the law, but you don't say it, this is also a deception to Lord Jing.

When it is found out, you will be directly driven out of Lingtong County, the restaurant will be closed, and you will not be allowed to do business here in the future. ”

The shopkeeper Zhang bent down again and again, "Lord Jing is strict under his rule, fair and selfless, there are no corrupt officials in the city at all, this is a matter that all the people of Lingtong County know, if someone really dares to come to the door to find trouble, then the small one must go to the county yamen to beat the drum." ”

"Good!"

Jiang Long smiled and led everyone up the stairs.

This three-storey restaurant is located next to the city's main street, and is in a great location.

The staircase is made entirely of cement and steel.

The second and third floors, as well as the roof, are all paved with cement slabs.

These were naturally made under the guidance of Jiang Long.

In this era, when building houses and buildings, the roof of the building was originally covered with rafters on the upper beam, and then a layer of mats was built, and a layer of mud was laid on the top.

However, this is obviously not strong enough.

And it is relatively thin, poor sound insulation, people upstairs walk around, and downstairs can be heard clearly.

After laying the cement slab, it is obviously more durable and durable, and everyone is wearing cloth shoes in this era, which is originally a light footstep, so there are people walking upstairs, and there is no sound downstairs.

The people upstairs will not affect the dining of the guests downstairs.

Shopkeeper Zhang is very satisfied with this.

When you open your door to do business, you will always encounter some hot-tempered guests, some of whom will get angry when they hear the footsteps upstairs, and sometimes when the upstairs is louder, some dust will fall from the beams of the house and fall into the dishes of the guests downstairs.

For this reason, there will be some trouble every once in a while.

And opening the door to do business, pay attention to harmony and wealth.

The most feared thing is that the customer has disputes, which will lead to business problems.

Shopkeeper Zhang personally led the way and invited Jiang Long and everyone to walk into a private room on the third floor.

Then beckoned the guys and greeted them warmly.

Jiang Long ordered a large table of dishes, and asked the shopkeeper Zhang and his buddies to quit.

Shopkeeper Zhang was in the corridor, and he lowered his voice and ordered the guy to go downstairs to the kitchen and cook for Jiang Long and the others first.

Guests who arrive first can wait.

The guy hurriedly went to pass the word.

Jiang Long and others were talking about digging the river at the dinner table.

According to the current progress, the construction of the outer main river channel will be completed in another month.

But as time went by, the temperature also dropped.

It's the middle of September, and in half a month, after October, you will have to add clothes.

At night, you even have to wear a thin padded jacket when you go out.

As the temperature drops, a layer of soil on the ground will freeze hard, which will greatly affect the speed of digging the river.

Another thing to note is that when it is finished, many people will be stranded in the city.

At that time, we must buy more food and store it, so that the people can buy it.

After working for a few months, there is no need to worry about the lack of money in the hands of those people.

When the outer river was completed, the weather was too cold and the work was about to stop.

Northerners have a habit of cat winter.

After a busy year, there is nothing to do in winter, so you should take a good rest, eat something good, and put some fat on your body.

In winter, it is rare for the body to gain some fat, and when the spring is busy, it will lose weight at a rapid rate.

In the winter, basically after eating, I will find a sunny place to get together and talk about the West.

What Jiang Long needs to pay attention to is that with so many people in the city, there is nothing to do, and they get together every day, so it is easy to cause a war of words.

After arguing and scolding, it is natural that the next thing will be to move his fists and feet.

Lingtong County now has a large number of people and a large floating population, so we must do a good job of public security.

Everyone knows that Jiang Long is strict and fair under the rule of Jiang Long, and this is not just lip service.

In the city, anyone who caused trouble and fought was immediately arrested and thrown into prison.

When they were locked up in a prison, they naturally would not eat white food, and the hardest, most tiring and dirtiest work in the city would be done by these prisoners.

And if you have a heavy hand in a fight, you will inevitably have to eat a board.

It's not a good board.

Many people were beaten and had to rest for a month after being carried home by their families.

Many of the people just knew the truth.

And I am very worried that after being beaten, I will not be able to work, and if I don't work, I will not be able to make money, and if I don't have money, I will naturally go hungry.

Therefore, even if you have a bad temper, you will not dare to argue with others easily.

Everywhere there are wicked people.

After Jiang Long took office, there were also several murders in Lingtong County.

And Jiang Long's way to deal with it is to ask the reason clearly, unless there is a hidden situation, otherwise all of them will be decided.

Cut off the head directly, which is more deterrent!

In addition, He is leading the recruited Minzhuang to help the officials of the county government maintain law and order, and the security in Lingtong County is still very good.

However, in winter, it is necessary to strengthen management.

And one more thing, it's to catch the bet!

It is not easy for the people to dig rivers and work to make some money, and there are many people who are shrewd but do not follow the right path will beat the people's hard-earned ideas.

Most of the ordinary people are honest and easy to be fooled.

When the time comes, these people will teach the people to gamble, and they will be able to easily cheat the people out of their money.

The national economy and people's livelihood, Jianglong must be grasped.

Hearing that Jiang Long said that he was gambling, Xiao Fan, who was following him today, responded in a loud voice, saying that this matter could be handed over to why not do it.

At that time, why not train the people to patrol the city, as long as they see people gambling on the streets, they will first arrest all of them.

After several months of training, under the guidance of He Bu, those people are no worse than the border army.

And the sergeants of the Inspection Division are the same.

The combat effectiveness is more than one level higher.

The harm of gambling is still very great.

Because the money in the people's homes has been won, there is no money to buy food.

If you don't have food, you'll have to go hungry.

What about after you're hungry?

You can't starve to death, can you?

Borrow first, if you can't borrow it, you will steal, and some people will rob it.

In the process of snatching, it is also very likely that people will be killed.

As a result, the law and order in the city became chaotic.

Leaving the gambling matter to He Bu in charge, Jiang Long is still very relieved.

After eating, Tudu went to settle the bill.

The crowd left the restaurant.

Jiang Long thought that he would stop work in another month, and he was not in a hurry, so he wanted to rest for an afternoon.

He led everyone straight to the outside of the city, where peppers were grown.

Watered, hoeed, and then picked some peppers and went back to the county office.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the end of October.

On this day, Jiang Long received a letter from Lin Ya again.

The letter first said that the printing house and the embroidery puppets had made a lot of money, and then mentioned the farm that Jiang Long had taken care of.

Sheep, chickens, pigs, and fish are all ready to be slaughtered.

Lin Ya was surprised, and said that it was really more profitable to engage in breeding in the farm.

The cattle are not sold, and when the cattle grow up, they can carry people and goods in a cart, and they can help plow the land in the spring.

A cow, on top of several strong men.

Moreover, it means that the fruit trees that Jiang Long let people graft bear different fruits.

And it tasted so good that it was sold out quickly after it was pulled into the city.

Lin Ya wanted to send someone to send some, but was stopped by Mrs. Jing.

It is said that just to send some fruit, it costs too much manpower and material resources, and it is not worth it.

From the capital to Lingtong County, even if it is fast, it will take nearly ten days.

Jiang Long naturally didn't care about the fruit, so he had the same meaning as Mrs. Jing.

And also remembered an allusion.

Since he remembered it, he picked up a pen and wrote it down, sandwiched it in a reply, and sent it to Jingfu together.

Lin Ya explained the production of the farm in detail, indicating that this year, the tenant farmers in the farm can have a good year.

He also asked if he wanted to extend this model to the rest of the farms in Jingfu.

Jiang Long naturally agreed.

The next day, Jiang Long took Tudu and others to stand on the side of the Hunhe River, the cold wind blowing from the bank was already with a chill, looking at the people and women who were digging the river not far away, estimating the general progress, and said softly: "In half a month, the water will be brought into the river." ”

At this moment, a servant hurriedly came from afar.
