Dane did mean what he said, and the location of the first water tower in the imperial capital was chosen not far from the fields and fireflies. The task of gathering the craftsmen was left to Bruce, and Dane, who coordinated the army with the craftsmen, took care of it himself, and the funds were all thrown to Forren and Dirk. On the third day after several people discussed, when Xu Zheng was cheeky and asked for the last money from Old Rex, the mobilized troops and craftsmen were also in place, and they started work directly.

The lower city suddenly became lively, because it was just a water tower, and Dane had the intention to experiment with the plan of military-civilian co-construction that Xu Zheng said, so he ordered to gather two hundred soldiers with a mason foundation and one hundred and fifty craftsmen gathered by Bruce to jointly build something that had never appeared in the history of the Aris continent.

Because it is uncertain that it will be put into use after completion, according to Xu Zheng's plan, this kind of experimental thing only wants to be low-key. But as the construction site was in full swing, it was no longer possible to keep a low profile, and the surrounding people began to be curious about this project involving so many people, and the end result was that more and more people were piling up outside the water tower construction site, and the surrounding residents came to watch this construction project that required the participation of the army and craftsmen.

At first, it was only the residents of the lower city who came to watch, but when the wind faded away, the residents of the central city began to pay attention to this thing, and often stopped to watch it when they were fine. Later, the news spread to the upper city, and many nobles also became interested in it, and also drove horse-drawn carriages around the venue to watch.

As a result, the flow of people in the imperial capital changed, and the number of people in several major squares decreased a lot, and they all moved to the lower city to watch the new things in this building.

Gradually, the enthusiastic and industrious residents of the lower city stopped standing by and began to help with some of the work they could, such as delivering materials. Especially when the news came out at the end. This thing is not only built by the military and civilians, but also presided over by the royal Samus. After the water tower was created by the commoner prince who had the star of the imperial capital and was for the benefit of the residents of the imperial capital, the enthusiasm of the residents of the imperial capital was unprecedentedly high, and they participated more actively in the construction of this project.

As a result, the entire construction site is often crowded with people. It's never been more lively. Most of the men are involved in various jobs, and the women spontaneously form condolence teams to bring water and care to the working men. Anyone who has participated in the construction work can always easily get the respect of others, which makes the people who have participated in the construction work quite proud in their hearts, and they feel that they can participate in the feat of the imperial capital.

There were a few days when the greeting after dinner changed to after a hi. Then I asked, did you participate in the construction of that water tower?

If the answer is yes, those who have participated must have raised their eyebrows and looked proud. Most of the people who didn't have time to participate were remorseful. It feels like I was born at the wrong time.

As a result of participating in this project, the image of the soldiers of the imperial capital has become taller in the hearts of the residents, and they are no longer soldiers like before. The people are the people, and the well water does not interfere with the indifferent scene of the river water. The soldiers personally participated in the basic civil construction of the people, and the soldiers born from the people returned to the people to repay the people, so that the people of the imperial capital saw the glorious image of the soldiers in peacetime, and the wave of support for the soldiers began to rise. Joining the army is no longer a way for civilians to find a way out, and more hot-blooded teenagers are beginning to make it an ideal. Set your sights on becoming a citizen as an adult.

This is what Dane did not expect, and he is sad and happy about this situation, and the good news is that the prestige of the soldiers is increasing, and there are more aspiring young people who are willing to serve the motherland, and the source of soldiers will not be a problem in the future. What worries me is that a large number of outstanding young people are flocking to the army, and the establishment is not enough, and the military expenditure is not enough, so we can only look at the many aspiring young people who are determined to defend the country and contribute to Cheng'an.

However, this situation made Rex happy, and he couldn't wait to hug Xu Zheng to kiss the two fiercely. This grandson is really good, he has a strange idea, he was reluctant to borrow money and borrow soldiers at the beginning, but now he is only happy, and 500,000 gold coins are directly given. From then on, borrowing soldiers to do civil construction work, that is unimpeded, let this good grandson take it.

For such a situation, Xu Zheng was both happy and worried. I am happy to see the unity and enthusiasm of the people of the imperial capital, and the enthusiasm of working together to build a homeland. And if the water tower is built smoothly and the final effect is ideal, the publicity work will not be ignored at all, and the second water tower will be raised according to the prestige accumulated by the first water tower. The concern is that if the construction of the water tower is not successful and the final desired effect is not achieved, the residents will be greatly disappointed and their enthusiasm will be dampened. With such a passionate effort, it would be very sad if it ended miserably.

Therefore, Xu Zheng often supervised the construction work with a contradictory face in the venue, worried and happy, more than ten days passed, and he quickly lost weight, his face was spoiled, and a pair of black eyes looked bigger and bigger on his sharp face.

Lucina saw that Xu Zheng was having trouble sleeping, and asked Quincy over, and Xu Zheng said in a hurry. Quincy suddenly laughed and persuaded Xu Zheng not to worry about this.

Xu Zheng asked why.

Quincy smiled and said, "I didn't understand before. But now I understand that when a person wholeheartedly wants to do a good deed, Almighty God has eyes, and there will be rewards for such sincere efforts. Xu Zheng, you are a warm and kind person, and when you do things with a sincere heart, you don't do anything unsuccessful. ”

Xu Zheng was embarrassed when he heard this. Quincy patted Xu Zheng's shoulder with a smile and said, "Don't worry, we will support you." ”

Someone was behind him, and that warm and down-to-earth feeling made Xu Zheng more confident and more active, urging the two dwarves day and night to build key parts such as pipe joints and valves. The casting of the pipes was distributed to all the blacksmiths in the entire imperial capital, and they were built as quickly as possible, earning the fastest time to build pipes that could be laid.

At this time, it is close to September, and the climate in the imperial capital is still very hot.

The cylindrical structure at the base of the water tower gradually took shape, and it was piled up day by day. A third of the way through the construction, Dirk transferred a hundred soldiers and began digging trenches in the planned area in preparation for the later laying of pipelines.

This part of the work is not technical, and more residents are involved. Everywhere you go, you can see a group of men working shirtless, sweaty.

Xu Zheng accompanied Bruce, holding the sheepskin with the pipe laying painted all the way forward. Check the progress of the work. After checking it, Xu Zheng looked at the people who were in full swing. A wave of passion swelled up in his heart, and he smiled at Bruce: "Bruce, you didn't notice that such a scene is very moving. ”

Bruce nodded, "yes." There is an indescribable charm about people who work hard, and it is seen that they are focused and enthusiastic. It's hard not to be impressed. ”

Xu Zheng squinted at Bruce and said, "Just heartbeat, no action?"

Bruce was stunned, and before he could react, Xu Zheng had already screamed in joy, and took off his shirt like a skin, like a resident of the lower city. Jumping topless into a sludge and dusty ditch and working like an ordinary civilian.

Bruce was stunned when he saw Xu Zheng snatch a tool from a person and drive the person aside to rest. He started digging a ditch with a grin.

At this time, the sun was still very scorching, and Xu Zheng's slightly dark skin was quickly sunburned with a layer of oily sweat. There is a shortage of water in the imperial capital. The dust is all dry, and there are more people doing the work, and they are lifted up and turned into dust and sand, which is a bit of a shade of the sky and the sun. Then it slowly falls, sticks to the person, and mixes with sweat. It's dirty, and the stain on one side looks a little disgusting. Xu Zheng, who was originally very clean, quickly got dirty, like a dirty and smelly leather monkey.

Bruce minded, but Xu Zheng didn't.

Now the emperor doesn't recognize the number of the second prince who has just come out of the oven, when Xu Zheng just jumped into the ditch, he frightened many people, a prince jumped into the ditch to do rough work, it feels very weird to think about it. But soon, it was discovered that although this boy could not do this, he was a quick learner and very serious, and soon did a better job than many people who thought they were proficient. Then it turned out that this prince was less like a prince and more like an ordinary commoner. He used to grin, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and when he laughed, his mouth was open so wide that even the knots in his throat could be seen, and there was no so-called royal etiquette at all. He is also used to wiping the sweat directly with the back of his hand when his face is not flowing, and he makes his face more flowery, but it is all like this, and his smile is still very bright. He is also used to talking to people when he sees them, and he is looking for topics in a hurry, which is a bit familiar. He also went to grab the water in other people's hands to drink, and he was not too dirty, so he grabbed it and poured it up to the sky, and drank it too much, and the water followed his neck straight down, and he was choked and burped.

It's really hard for such a teenager not to be likable. He was like a little sun, unconsciously becoming a luminous body, but not burning his heart, eccentric and enthusiastic, and the rambling laughter and playful little jokes popped out of his mouth from time to time, and soon made people forget that the boy was a high prince.

This boy is really a magic!

Bruce stood on the edge of the ditch and looked at Xu Zheng like a magnet, gradually attracting the people around him. In a trance, the night when he came back to spray wine, the young man who was seriously alive and laughing was exuding brilliance all over his body, and the most essential truth, goodness and beauty in human nature shone on him, dazzling and dazzling. Suddenly, there's something called hot blood in Bruce's body.

"Blue!" Xu Zheng shouted.

I was dazzled by the brilliance that Xu Zheng exuded, and after a while, I felt that this naughty brother threw a dirty stone and smashed it on his shoulder.

Looking down at the dirty mark, Xu Zheng laughed wildly and said, "Ha, it's already dirty! Anyway, it's dirty, so it's better to come down and work together." I'm sure you'll be happier than if you were standing next to you with your hands crossed and holding the Great Prince's shelf. ”

"Really?" Bruce grinned, began to quickly take off his shirt, and pulled himself like the soldiers and craftsmen present, and jumped into the ditch with a bare white pig's upper body.

Let me experience this feeling of sweating so well!
