Chapter 224: The First Encounter
Thank you for your support!
Jiang Long was covered in dust, his pace was slightly fast, and he came to the backyard.
Pushing open the door, I saw Delise sitting at the dining table.
Delisi had delicate makeup and thin clothes, and she was secretly sulking, but when she saw Jiang Long coming in, she hurriedly changed into a smiling appearance.
In her opinion, tonight is the first meeting between the two.
Even if you don't use a knife or gun, you won't see blood.
But it's still a battle of wits and courage.
Don't underestimate the confrontation between a man and a woman on the bed, if you lose, you may lose your heart.
Even the heart lost to the other party, and there will be no need to fight in the future.
Of course, whether it is Jiang Long or Dai Lisi, who is calm and rational enough, will not lose her heart easily.
Although she was secretly annoyed in her heart, she couldn't show it, otherwise she would have lost her momentum.
Glancing at Jiang Long lightly, Dai Lisi said, "I thought you forgot today's agreement." ”
"How is that possible?"
Jiang Long strode to the front of Delis, bent down, looked directly into Delis's eyes, and looked at Delis away, only then did he smile playfully and said, "You have already lost!" ”
Delith was not convinced.
"The first time you see me, you should get up and seduce me." Jiang Long didn't wait for Dai Lisi to speak, he just laughed and copied it horizontally.
Delis froze when she heard this, but then she put on a charming smile, "Thank you Lord Jing for the reminder." ”
Indeed, the previous pretense of indifference did not conform to her usual style.
Directly expose the horse's feet.
She secretly woke up that this Jingjiang dragon had keen eyesight and was very smart, even more difficult than she imagined.
In the future, we must cheer up the spirit of twelve.
"Help me wipe my body, just take it as a thank you." Jiang Long walked quickly into the bath room next to him.
In the bathtub, the hot water had already been put away, and it was already a little cold, but Jiang Long and Dai Lisi's skin was close at the moment, and both of them were a little hot.
Putting down Delis, Jiang Long spread his hands.
Dai Lisi glanced at Jiang Long, but she was intrigued.
Stretching out his white and tender little hand, he helped Jiang Long untie the ribbon around his waist, took off his coat, and hung it on the hanger next to him.
Then, he helped Jiang Long take off his underwear, but the white and tender little finger was not honest.
Touching and caressing Jiang Long's chest.
Inadvertently touched it, hooking Jiang Long's heart like a cat's claw.
With his clothes peeling off, Jiang Long sat down in the tub and let Delis help scrub his back.
Delith was a little surprised at this time, wasn't the man in front of her very sickly and weak?
Why are the muscles on the body so strong?
Not very strong, not fat, but fine.
Could it be that Jiang Long was deliberately disguised in the past?
While thinking, she helped Jiang Long scrub her body, and at the same time, Dai Lisi didn't forget to eat some tofu.
At this time, Jiang Long suddenly reached out and pulled Dai Lisi into the bathtub.
Delith exclaimed, plopped into the water, splashed, and when she got up in a panic, her thin clothes were all tightly attached to her undulating body.
Jiang Long's eyes just couldn't be removed.
His arms suddenly retracted, and he encircled the beauty in front of him into his arms.
The clothes are thin, as if there is no same, which is equivalent to skin contact, and the two of them are wheezing violently......
In the early morning, the sun had not yet risen from the horizon, and Jiang Long had already woken up.
His right arm was a little heavy, and he looked over his head to see Delis pillowed on top of his right arm.
At this moment, Delis does not apply powder, many blood vessels can be seen on the snow-white skin, and the right arm can feel the delicacy of Delis's pretty face.
Without her usual charm, Delis fell asleep, pouting from time to time, frowning, pure as a baby.
Jiang Long had a momentary heartbeat.
Then he cleaned up his mentality, gently pulled out his right arm, got out of bed, and helped Delis cover the brocade quilt.
Very carefully, very carefully tucked the corners of the quilt, without revealing a single gap.
Picking up his shirt, bending down and carrying his leather shoes, he went to the outer room lightly, and then began to put them on.
Just as he walked out of the inner bedroom, the sleeping Delis suddenly blinked.
In the beautiful eyes, there is a trace of dazedness, and there is a trace of affection flowing.
Jiang Long didn't seem to know, put on his clothes, washed up, and began to practice martial arts.
After breakfast, after chatting with Cheng Ze and the others in the front hall, Jiang Long took Tudu and the others out of the city again.
Soon after the gates were opened, one after another, groups of men with blankets on their backs, arrived.
Some of these people were masons from the neighborhood, and they rushed to the city as soon as they heard the news that they were paid for their work for the county government and that they were paid that day.
More are the nearby counties, those who saw the list and came to dig the river.
People have come, and they have to be controlled.
Xiao Fan handed over the management of the masons and blacksmiths to Wang Gui, the chief bookkeeper, to take care of, and he took a group of officials to begin to count the number of people who came to dig the river to work.
In just half a day, 500 people have already arrived.
Most of these people are poor people who have not been able to do anything recently.
When Jiang Long heard the news, he asked Qin Yu to return to the city and bring those people over.
When all those people arrived, Jiang Long opened his mouth and ordered these people to build some simple houses near the embankment where the river was dug first.
Although the weather is warm, the temperature difference between day and night is large in this part of northern Xinjiang, and it is not possible to rest at night if there is no house to shelter from the wind and rain and no bedding to cover the body.
And here is far from the county seat, and it takes nearly half an hour to come and go, so it is better to live here if there is no danger.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to spend so much time walking.
In Wangsha County, most of the people live in earthen houses, and the earthen houses are relatively flipped.
He found a few straight planks, tied them horizontally and vertically, and then filled them with wet soil, and when they had filled half of it, they stepped in and stepped on it with their feet, and then filled it with earth until a wall of earth was built six feet high.
After that, find rafters, place one half a foot apart, spread another layer of mat on top, and then put a layer of soil on the mat.
This is a job that most people can do.
It costs money to build a house, and most of their own houses are their own, and they find some relatives to help build them themselves.
Of course, this kind of house is not good in the south, where it rains so much that the walls are washed out in a few days.
In the south, there are mostly brick houses, and the roofs must also be pointed.
Most of the people who come to do things come in groups and know each other, and the efficiency is higher when doing things.
At noon, Xiao Fan sent people to boil porridge, steam steamed buns, and distributed free food to the people who came as long as they came even if they had not officially started work.
When the evening came, the people returned to the city, and the hot meal was ready again.
The porridge is very sticky, and the chopsticks are inserted into it without pouring.
The steamed bread is a variegated steamed bun, mixed with some coarse grains, not that Jianglong is stingy and does not give steamed white flour steamed bread, but that white flour is very expensive, and there are not many of them.
If you only buy white noodles, the price of white noodles will be affected by the large consumption and make it more expensive.
And for the people, they are already very satisfied with their wages and their stomachs.
Jiang Long personally distributed steamed buns to a few strong men, scooped up porridge, and then walked with Xiao Fan in the direction of the county government one after the other.
Here it is left to Wang Gui to take care of.
Wang Gui not only did not feel tired, but was full of energy.
He's finally got something to do!
As long as things are done well, keep your position.
Originally, there were some people who were dissatisfied with the fact that it would take several months to do things in the county office, but now it is better to work in the county office.
Jiang Long came to the county office, and saw that in addition to Cheng Ze and He were not there, the county Cheng Zhou Xi, the clerk Hu Lai, the household clerk Hao Tong, the ritual clerk Xue Shan, and the priest Pan Wenchang were all waiting, and when they saw him coming, they all got up to salute.
A few polite words, Zhou showed the first superficial meaning.
The rest waited for the rest to follow.
Quite simply, these people want to help do something.
They already know the excerpts on Jiang Long, although they are not optimistic, but Jiang Long is the number one in the end, and if he wants to do things, others must assist.
Besides, as long as there is something to do, there will definitely be some benefits.
Horses don't eat night grass or fat, people can't get rich from outside, and they only rely on the little money of the imperial court, and they can only support their families.
On the first day that Jiang Long came to report, Zhou Xi and the others were in arrears for two months, didn't these people still have to unload the caravans to make extra money?
It is precisely because of this that Jiang Long's impression of several people is quite good.
These people wanted to come over to help, but they happened to be short of manpower, so he nodded and agreed.
As for what to help, Jiang Long asked Cheng Ze to arrange it.
Although Zhou Xi is the second-in-command of Lingtong County, this person has no official position, otherwise he would not have helped the caravan unload.
So let Cheng Ze arrange it.
The project has not officially started yet, but it is necessary to make sufficient preparations in advance, and the matter is still relatively high.
There are a few people to help, Cheng Ze, why not here, and Xiao Fan, the three of them can be more relaxed.
Don't get too tired.
However, help is helped, the money cannot be handed over to outsiders at will, Jiang Long left 10,000 taels for himself, and the rest was distributed to Cheng Ze, Xiao Fan, why not, if they need money urgently, they can make their own decisions.
If the others want to pay the money, they have to report to Cheng Ze and the others.
The silver on Jiang Long's body was easily no longer used.
Zhou Xi and the others left, why not report the progress of the work to Xiao Fan.
It's quite satisfying.
"Now that the house has not been built, we must care about the food and housing of the people."
"Send a message to the shopkeepers of the inn, all the rooms can be occupied by several people."
"There will be more and more people coming to dig the river, Mr. Xiao, there must be enough food to eat."
After discussing for a while, Jiang Long got up and left.
Back in the backyard, Jiang Long ate alone, and Dai Lisi didn't come, but just told the kitchen to make Jiang Long's meal more sumptuous.
After eating and bathing, Jiang Long lay down to rest.
Delis's door was gently pushed open, and the old woman walked in softly, "He stopped." ”
"Hmm." Delis, who was lying on the bed, waved her hand gently.
The old woman stepped back and closed the door.
Hum!
Delis patted the brocade quilt.
Last night, she couldn't get out of bed because she was tossed, and she lost a game.
I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it tonight, so I naturally don't dare to tease Jiang Long again.
But Jiang Long didn't find it, although she was relieved, but it was inevitable that she felt a little uncomfortable.
Sometimes people's minds are inconsistent.
