"It's not a rainstorm, it's okay that there are bluestone slabs paving in the city, but the dirt road outside the city is muddy and can't walk." Han Baohu smiled bitterly and said, "We are still riding horses, and they are all like rolling in the mud, and it is even more difficult for this ordinary person to walk." The light brown eyes looked at Cao Huaimin for a moment and said seriously, "Hong Niangzi is thinking about what kind of paving is used for the official road outside the city, and it is easier to walk." ”

"Bluestone is unlikely, it's too expensive." Cao Huaimin looked at the two of them with dark eyes and said, thought about it, and suddenly said, "With pebbles, this river beach is all over the place." ”

"Pebbles? Will it work? Lin Nanzheng looked at him with round eyes and said.

"Doesn't your house have a cobblestone pavement?" Cao Huaimin looked at him in surprise and said.

"Yes, it's two or three steps wide in the yard." Lin Nanzheng thought for a while and nodded, hesitated for a moment and said, "But this pebble is walking on it, especially wearing thin-soled boots." ”

"These ordinary people don't have thin-soled boots to wear." Cao Huaimin glanced at him and said, "It's all straw sandals." Even barefoot. ”

"So! Can this straw sandals be pierced and pebbled with feet? Lin Nanzheng couldn't help but say worriedly.

"Their feet are thick cocoons, and thorns are not afraid, and they say that they are pebbles." Cao Huaimin immediately said when he heard this, looking at his breathable and light lambskin boots and said, "Not everyone is like your feet, white and tender." ”

"I said, Old Man Cao, I didn't offend you! How can you speak so harshly. Lin Nanzheng looked Cao Huaimin up and down and said with a smile, "I know why Old Man Cao has no hope of becoming an official and becoming a knight, I don't know how many people you have offended with your mouth." ”

"Stinky boy." Cao Huaimin was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him, "That's what they should scold!" ”

"Brother Cao, Brother Cao, don't be angry, don't be angry!" Seeing this, Han Baohu hurriedly persuaded, "Let's use pebbles!" ”

After Cao Huaimin calmed down, he looked at Han Baohu and said, "These pebbles are not all the size of eggs, there are big ones, let's pick up the big ones." ”

"That's right!" Lin Nanzheng said with a smile.

"There are carts pulling some pebbles to pave the barracks on a three-pace-wide road, and the road leading from outside the gate to the houses, houses, and latrines is paved, and it is easy to walk." Cao Huaimin's sharp black eyes looked at them and said.

"Hey! That's good! Lin Nanzheng looked at him with sparkling eyes and said, "Why didn't I think of it." ”

"What can you think of in that head?" Cao Huaili stared at the head on his neck and said unceremoniously.

"Old man Cao's ......"

Before Lin Nanzheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by Han Baohu, "I'll arrange someone to lay pebbles tomorrow." ”

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Cao Huaimin looked at him and said hurriedly.

"What's wrong?" Han Baohu looked at him with a puzzled face and asked.

"You think you're done with pulling the pebbles back and just pressing them into the dirt." Cao Huaimin's eyebrows jumped, and he looked at the two of them and said.

"Isn't it?" Hearing this, Lin Nanzheng blinked his phoenix eyes and looked at him and said.

"My God, this water flows low, you have to flat, flat, slope, slope." Cao Huaimin stroked his forehead and said, "This pebble is pressed into the low-lying area, and it's a whole fart!" ”

"Old man Cao, you are also from a big family, so you speak elegantly." Lin Nanzheng looked at him in disbelief and said, "Insulting Svenye!" ”

"What's the matter, can't I say?" Cao Huaimin glared at him and said, pointing to the short brown linen clothes on his body and said, "Look at what kind of gentleness I have on me now." ”

"You say, you say." Lin Nanzheng looked him up and down with phoenix eyes and said, "I remember Master Cao Si Swen and soft-spoken, why is he so angry now." ”

"You crawl out of the pile of dead people, and your temper can still be better." Cao Huaimin said angrily.

"Understood, understood." Han Baohu looked at him with good words and said.

"But you can't look at anyone unpleasantly, right? We have not sinned against you. Lin Nanzheng's phoenix eyes widened and he said angrily.

"I'm sorry!" Cao Huaimin arched his hand at them, "I really can't see you playing like this." ”

"Lord Cao is good at this, but we don't understand it, how can you blame us in turn." Lin Nanzheng puffed out his cheeks and looked at him angrily.

"Mincao is really not as easy as you think, it's not just to forcibly expropriate the people, point to a piece of land, and excavate or fill it." Cao Huaimin looked at them with dark eyes and said, "At the very least, you have to go over the mountains and mountains to survey the terrain." He put his index finger to his lips and muttered for a moment, "It's like sending scouts before you go to war, spy on the enemy, and know yourself and your enemy." ”

Cao Huaimin's bright eyes looked at them and said, "I also want to spy on the enemy's situation, but my 'enemy situation' is the river, the terrain, and a lot of unknowns. ”

Lin Nanzheng looked at him in awe when he heard this, straightened his back, and asked humbly, "Unknown?" ”

"You don't know it, and suddenly there is a problem." Cao Huaimin said with a straight face, "You have so many military books and strategies for fighting, "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Thirty-six Strategies", how many battles have you fought since ancient times, and how many experiences have you summed up. But how much is written about this water conservancy, and how to calculate the amount of earthwork, do you know? ”

"I don't know." Lin Nanzheng shook his head like a rattle when he heard this, and said simply and easily, "This is just the right to pull the soil!" When to pull enough, when to count. ”

Cao Huaimin sighed heavily, he really couldn't talk to him.

"Look at it, and sigh again." Lin Nanzheng looked at him with a sad face and said, smiled, "We don't understand, it's good that Master Cao understands." ”

"Forget it, I can't talk to you anymore." Cao Huaimin looked at him with a lonely look in his eyes and said, "You pull the pebbles, I'll level it, the ground needs to be leveled, don't let you do white work." ”

"That's great." Han Baohu said happily, and then said, "The crops in the field are fine, and the rain is heavy and you can't go down to the ground, so take advantage of the next few days to pave the pebbles." ”

"Why can't you go to the ground?" Cao Huaimin looked at them suspiciously and asked.

"Hehe......" Lin Nanzheng smiled unkindly, "It turns out that Lord Cao doesn't know everything!" ”

"I'm not a god!" Cao Huaimin looked at him angrily and said.

"It's raining too much to put your feet on!" Han Baohu smiled, "The cultivated land is soft and muddy. ”

Cao Huaimin slapped his forehead when he heard this, "Look at me, let's do it!" I have never planted a field. ”

"Yes! It's the first time I've picked up a hoe. Han Baohu patted his shoulder and said.

"I'll leave this matter to Lord Cao." Lin Nanzheng looked at Cao Huaimin with both hands and fists, and said respectfully.
