Chapter 41 The construction of the canal, there is a city song
But it's hard to find talents, people here basically don't even know a word, and there are no famous families, so Ying Zihan didn't find any talents even if he relied on the system.
Ying Zihan also put this matter down for the time being, and now there are two major events, first, the harvest season has arrived, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes planted by Ying Zihan have matured.
Second, the city has been built, and Ying Zihan has not given up the construction of the moat. Although there is no living water, Ying Zihan has already planned to build a canal to alleviate the temporary difficulty of using water in Shacheng. In the past, the water here was fine, but after there were many soldiers and horses, there was a shortage of drinking water. And with the increase of the number of residents in Shacheng and the increase of the army in the future, the water resources are far from enough. That's why Ying Zihan had the idea of building a canal. Anyway, it's all free labor, and instead of putting these goblins back and continuing to plague the northern military and civilians, it's better to let them build here. Ying Zihan felt that his idea was really wonderful.
It was only because of the reduction of goblins caused by the construction of Shacheng that Ying Zihan sent a message to Wang Jian, asking him to capture at least 10,000 goblins and send them to Shacheng within two months. After a few months of rest, Ying Zihan felt that it was time to harvest the goblins.
System space, Ying Zihan opened the territory image and found the only river in the northern plains, the water resources of this river are okay, its birthplace is already in the extreme north, and no one has ever been there. Ying Zihan is going to transfer the water there this time, which can be regarded as the transfer of water from the north to the south. Ying Zihan found Ying Cheng to discuss this matter, and took out a detailed map to mark the location where the canal should pass, and there were mostly villages and towns along the way.
Ying Cheng also felt that this was a great thing, and if it was completed, it could almost solve the fact that there was a shortage of water in Qindi. So he agreed without thinking, but the project was more grandiose and estimated to take three years.
Because the city has been built, Ying Zihan directly changed the name above the city gate. Shacheng, a shabby name, originally Ying Zihan planned to call this place Xianyang, but in history Xianyang did not have a city wall, and there was another Xianyang in the east, so Ying Zihan gave up this title. Chang'an, Luoyang is not good, Ying Zihan simply took a name that he had before - Chaoge.
Yes, it is the capital song of Emperor Xin, and Ying Zihan said that it was just fun. So the people of Qin knew that Shacheng had changed its name, which was publicized by Ying Zihan, and at the same time spread the news of the completion of the city.
At the same time, Ying Zihan also began to be responsible for the harvest of grain, and Ying Zihan also planned to use batches of sweet potatoes to make wine. Now there is beer and liquor in the West. But Ying Zihan believes that this unique oriental liquor will definitely make countries go crazy. After all, he has a unique purification technology - distillation, and most of the liquor in the West is not as good as distilled liquor.
Ying Zihan's territory is poor and white, and even eating salt is bought from other places. Although Ying Zihan made a lot of money selling gems some time ago, he was almost out of money, and he didn't have so many gems to sell, so Ying Zihan had the idea of making wine.
On this day, Ying Zihan went to the ordnance camp with the drawings again, and he needed to build several sets of brewing equipment and distillation equipment.
But coincidentally, the book was not written, and Ying Zihan happened to meet Yang Xixi, a god machine battalion who came to the ordnance camp to check the crossbow.
When Ying Zihan came in, he saw Yang Xixi concentrating on checking the structure of the crossbow, and then listening to the explanation. Ying Zihan stopped suddenly, he was now thinking about whether to go in or leave directly?
But he no longer had a chance, someone had already seen him coming, and subconsciously shouted: "Your Highness is good." Ying Zihan didn't even have a chance to stop him.
Yang Xixi has been in a lot of chaos recently, she doesn't even want to go home, she has been staying in the barracks, but she is afraid of meeting Ying Zihan in the barracks, so she hides at home whenever she has time. After her father Yang Yuan's constant questioning, she finally agreed to her marriage.
There is no story of elopement here in Qindi, and Yang Xixi has no sweetheart. So she agreed to the arrangement arranged by her father, she just accepted the fact that Ying Zihan was three years younger than her, and she didn't know what the reason was.
Yang Xixi heard Ying Zihan coming, and then panicked instantly, and her heart beat faster. Pretending not to see Ying Zihan, he continued to check the crossbow. But her heart didn't stop at the crossbow for a moment.
Ying Zihan was very helpless, since he was called out, he didn't dodge. found Smith, who was explaining the crossbow to Yang Xixi, and Ying Zihan told him to build a few houses in the open space in the city before the grain harvest was completed, and then build the things on these drawings, and let him leave.
Looking at Yang Xixi who had been squatting on the ground, Ying Zihan couldn't cry or laugh, Ying Zihan coughed and asked, "What are Yang Ying doing squatting on the ground, hurry up, Your Highness has something important to talk about with you." ”
Yang Xixi reluctantly started fighting. Ying Zihan said: "I just have something to find you, come with me." ”
Yang Xixi followed Ying Zihan and didn't speak, Ying Zihan asked 'distressed': "Are your feet numb in squatting?"
Yang Xixi blushed instantly, and then stared at Ying Zihan angrily. Ying Zihan didn't mind, and continued: "I heard that you dislike me for being three years younger than you?"
Yang Xixi's face turned even redder, she looked like she was drunk, she told her father about this once at home, and she didn't know how Ying Zihan, the little villain, knew. Ying Zihan resisted the urge to take a bite and continued: "It's okay, female junior, hug the gold brick." It means that we are going to make a fortune in the future. ”
Yang Xi snorted: "It's so thick-skinned." ”
Ying Zihan was not ashamed, but said proudly: "How can you catch up with such a beautiful person as you if you are not thick-skinned?"
Yang Xixi dodged Ying Zihan's salty pig hand, and said angrily: "It's not because of my father..."
Ying Zihan didn't tease her anymore, and told her: "Okay, Ying Cheng has already picked a good time, and when the time comes, we will start preparing for marriage, and you can also find a successor for the Shenji Battalion during this time." You won't be able to go to war in the future. ”
Yang Xi was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect to get married so soon. Then he couldn't accept leaving the army, so he asked loudly: "Why can't I continue to stay in the army?" ”
Ying Zihan looked around, and the guards consciously stood a little farther away. Ying Zihan said: "You are a girl, and you are the wife of His Royal Highness Ming Media, what is it to stay in the barracks all day.......
"But, but I..." Yang Xixi's tears were already rolling in her eyes.
Seeing this, Ying Zihan hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, it's a big deal that you will come to my personal guard in the future, and I will let you be the boss." ”
Yang Xixi ignored him, and Ying Zihan changed the topic and said: "Okay, okay, don't think too much about it first, this matter is not necessarily, let's go and see the potatoes and sweet potatoes shipped back first." You must have never seen these two things, they taste very good..."Ying Zihan took Yang Xixi in the direction of the granary like a child.
