Chapter 193: There is no feast in the world
After attending the check-in ceremony of Xinwagang Village and having a meal, Zhang Xiaochi and others returned to Qingwa Town.
Qingwa Town is now his fiefdom, and although he has been busy for more than half a month, there are still many things he needs to deal with, such as recruiting management talents to manage various matters in Qingwa Town instead of him.
After all, he can't do it himself forever, so what's the point of being a lord of a fief?
However, this problem was quickly and smoothly solved, and Zhao Qiankun recommended him a few capable generals, who had done this aspect earlier, and it was most suitable for them to help Zhang Xiaochi.
After solving this problem, the next step is to build a place to do things, just like the yamen, which can handle civil affairs.
Of course, as long as Zhang Xiaochi speaks for these things, there is someone else to take care of.
Time passed quickly, as if in the blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth day of the invasion of the Kingdom of Dingding.
After 30 days of development, the town has almost returned to its pre-war level, and even surpassed.
The current Qingwa Town, as far as the eye can see, is a thriving scene, at least three times larger than before, and families from all over the country have established their own industries and branches in the town.
The participation of major families is like attracting investment, which has increased local employment.
Due to the policy of exempting taxes in the first year and halving the tax after a year, people join Qingwa Town every day, and Zhang Xiaochi makes a lot of money just from selling land to build houses.
With these incomes alone, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to pay taxes to the imperial court.
For this reason, Zhang Xiaochi secretly formulated a complete system, however, because he was the lord of Qingwa Town at the beginning, he still had to keep a low profile and not implement it at one time, so he had to take his time, so as not to attract the attention of others.
After all, muffled development is the king.
Of course, the development of people's livelihood is getting better and better, and the border defense is also more developed militarily.
In a month, Zhao Jiajun laid countless traps on the border line, and at the same time, many giant bows and crossbows were forged, if it weren't for the limited conditions here, it is estimated that there would be more.
The city wall of Shuangzhu Peak, after a month of development, is even more armed to the teeth, and there is a row of giant bows and crossbows on the city wall, which is very oppressive when you look at it, giving the people of Qingwa Town an indescribable sense of security.
All this is developing in a super good direction, and even Song Xueqing, under the guidance of Zhang Xiaochi, has gradually shown her talent, which is eye-catching.
However, Zhang Xiaochi's personal affairs are a little difficult to say.
For a month, he and Lin Xiaoxi worked hard, except for the week when Lin Xiaoxi came to relatives, the two of them exercised almost every night.
Zhang Xiaochi doesn't care, and he won't get tired, after all, his physical fitness is beyond ordinary people, but Lin Xiaoxi can't hold it anymore, if it weren't for Lin Songyang and his second aunt always urging the two to have children, it is estimated that they would sneak into Zhao Ling'er's room.
And after a month of hard work, Lin Xiaoxi's stomach still didn't have any reaction.
This made Lin Xiaoxi anxious.
"Husband, something must be wrong with my body!"
Lin Xiaoxi's little face was full of sorrow, and he looked up at Zhang Xiaochi with a sad brow.
"Don't think about it, didn't the doctor show us?"
"The doctors all said that we were in good health, are we more professional than the doctors?"
Zhang Xiaochi didn't have any worries about this, but he was a little worried about Lin Xiaoxi because of this.
"Xiaoxi, the Guanyin Temple has been built, you should go and worship every two days!"
"It is said that the goddess of mercy is very spiritual."
In order to make Lin Xiaoxi feel relieved, Zhang Xiaochi had no choice but to persuade him with good words.
"Husband, I see."
Lin Xiaoxi nodded, she lowered her little head and was silent for a long time, she didn't know what she was thinking, she suddenly looked up at Zhang Xiaochi, a pair of beautiful eyes full of little stars.
Looking at Lin Xiaoxi's expression, Zhang Xiaochi chuckled in his heart, and a bad premonition came to his heart.
"Xiaoxi, you can't be thinking about taking a concubine for me in your little head, right?"
Zhang Xiaochi asked tentatively.
"Husband, how do you know?"
Lin Xiaoxi was a little embarrassed.
Hearing Lin Xiaoxi's admission, Zhang Xiaochi rolled his eyes and didn't have a good air.
"Don't have this kind of messy thinking in the future."
Zhang Xiaochi reminded seriously, and then decisively changed the topic, he knew in his heart that on this issue, no matter how much he insisted, he couldn't make Lin Xiaoxi dispel this idea.
Unless she successfully conceives a child, it will only be a waste of saliva to say more.
The two chatted for a while, and finally, Lin Xiaoxi took Zhao Ling'er and Song Xueqing to Guanyin Temple.
The family went to the Guanyin Temple, there was nothing to do, Zhang Xiaochi came to the Chixi Restaurant, the restaurant was full, people saw Zhang Xiaochi appear, and quickly got up to say hello one by one.
"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone is a guest, don't be formal."
I said hello to everyone, so I came to the back kitchen to inspect, the current back kitchen of Chixi Restaurant is Zhang Cheng is in charge, this guy's cooking skills have made great progress, and he can develop new dishes independently.
As for Zhang Fenghe, he was young, so there was no need to take care of things so early, Zhang Xiaochi asked him to concentrate on studying first.
I inspected it again, and then went to the backyard to check it.
Now the room in the backyard is a staff dormitory, and Zhang Cheng and others sleep in it, and they are also responsible for guarding the restaurant.
"My lord, Lord Zhao is looking for you."
Just as Zhang Xiaochi was inspecting inside, the restaurant guy came to the backyard to remind.
"Lord Zhao?"
"Is it Brother Zhao?"
Zhang Xiaochi asked.
"Yes."
followed the guy out of the backyard, and finally walked out of the restaurant to the streets of Qingwa Town, only to find that Zhao Qiankun was not only at the door, but also Ye Zhiqiu, Lu Xiaofeng, and the endless Zhao family army.
"Brother Zhao, Brother Ye, you are ......"
"Xiaochi, we're here to say goodbye to you."
"Brother Zhang, we're going back."
Zhao Qiankun and Ye Zhiqiu said one after another.
"Go back!?"
"Why did you go in such a hurry?"
Zhang Xiaochi was stunned, they were leaving, and there was no sign before.
Everyone has experienced life and death together, and they are suddenly separated, and it is true that they are reluctant.
"Jin Guo is already honest, there is no point in us staying here any longer."
"Qingwa Town is located in the middle of nowhere, and it is a little troublesome to transport all kinds of resources, so I won't trouble you, the new lord."
"What are you talking about, let you go now, let me feel like I'm crossing the river and tearing down the bridge."
Zhang Xiaochi replied.
"Just kidding, actually, we got orders."
Ye Zhiqiu explained with a smile.
"It turned out that I received an order."
Zhang Xiaochi's eyes fell on Zhao Qiankun, and then he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said.
"Brother Zhao, Ling'er and Xiaoxi have gone to Guanyin Temple, please wait a minute."
"No, let Ling'er live in your house, this girl has a big heart, and we can't control it."
