Chapter 261: Painting Cakes
"I can see my mother and my father." Raven was very excited along the way, poking his head out from time to time and dancing with his hands.
Li Mingli pulled the person back again, and Ruiwen couldn't stand the way the third uncle carried the chicken, so he noisily wanted to go to a carriage with the Wang family.
It's just that this rush has just begun, and Xiao Ruiwen doesn't know the next ordeal, so he can make trouble for a while. Li Mingli and Zhao Yuncheng let him make trouble, but when they reached the middle of the road, the child finally couldn't bear it, and he didn't want to move while sitting in the carriage all day, his calves and arms seemed to be falling apart, but he asked over and over again: "Third uncle, uncle, how long will it take for us to arrive?" ”
Wang was very distressed when he found out, and took Rui Wen from the carriage that Mingli was sitting in, comforting and amusing at the same time.
"Ruiwen, we'll go into the city in a while, we won't live in the wild tonight, and ask your third uncle to buy you what you want to eat at night."
Rui Wen nestled beside Wang, and nodded lightly. The Wang family is also a little unbearable, at this age, he really can't stand staying up so the road, he can't sleep well every day, and he can't eat well.
The Wang family and his entourage rushed from Lijia Village to Shiyang County compared to Li Mingren and them, after all, Li Mingren and they rushed over from the capital, the route was different, and the road out of the capital was easier. Walking north from Lijia Village, although it is also an official road, there are many sections of the official road mountain here, and it is more bumpy to walk.
When the grandfather and grandson saw the city gate, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. I only heard Li Mingli say outside the car: "Mother, He Wu went to find the inn first, let's have a good rest in Jiangcheng, don't rush to the road." ”
Wang originally thought that it would be enough to rest for one night, and he still had to hurry up, but he looked down at Ruiwen's bitter face, and then thought that he was also sore, so he responded: "Okay, you just arrange the time." ”
The convoy entered the city, and He Wu found a good inn, at least one old and one young were very satisfied.
After a night's rest, Raven regained his vitality, and Wang couldn't help but smile as he looked at the little fart who was jumping around in front of him.
"Looks like I'm really old bones."
Dongxiang: "Old lady, don't say that, I see that your body is fine!" ”
Wang smiled and shook his head, then beckoned Ruiwen to come over: "Find your third uncle to take you out for a walk, you don't have to accompany me here." ”
When Rui Wen heard this, he became even more excited, and saluted: "Grandson will not disturb grandmother's rest." ”
After that, he ran out, and he almost didn't react to the summer season.
"You see." Wang said to Dongxiang.
Fuyuka just smiled.
Here in Shiyang County, Zhao Yunlan's spirit is obviously a lot better, but she always wants to vomit when she eats something recently, and He Hua cooks every day just to let Zhao Yunlan eat more.
"How much did you eat today?" Li Mingren returned to the backyard and asked Zhao Yunlan about her food as soon as possible.
Zhao Yunlan: "I ate a bowl of porridge today, and the shredded chicken mixed with He Hua tasted good." ”
Chunxiang couldn't help but say next to her: "Madame didn't finish that bowl of porridge, and what she ate today is similar to yesterday." ”
"Well, I know my physical condition, I can't help it if I can't eat it these days, so I've tried my best to eat again." Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingren with a serious look, since she was pregnant, Li Mingren was overly worried.
Li Mingren didn't speak, just looked at Zhao Yunlan.
"Okay, let's ask the doctor to take a look tomorrow, let's not worry, besides, I don't think there's any problem now, it's just that I eat a little less." Zhao Yunlan broke the silence first.
Li Mingren nodded, and said slowly: "I was a bastard the last time my lady was pregnant, and I didn't take good care of you by my side, so I don't want to miss it again this time." ”
Zhao Yunlan nodded to show that she understood Li Mingren's intentions, and then asked, "How is the matter with the Yamen recently?" ”
Hearing Zhao Yunlan ask about business, Li Mingren couldn't help frowning.
"What's wrong?"
Li Mingren: "Hey, everything is not going well! I didn't do anything I wanted to do, and there were a bunch of housework every day. ”
Zhao Yunlan: "Didn't you hear you say some time ago that you were going to find those rich businessmen to raise money to build roads?" ”
Li Mingren shook his head, "This is difficult to do, these people, once the silver is in their pockets, where can they easily give it out." ”
Zhao Yunlan: "You have to give some sweetness, otherwise who will be willing to spend this silver in vain." ”
Li Mingren: "I said, build a merit monument and engrave their names on it." ”
"They are merchants, your merit monument should not be eaten or clothed, and it is not a royal gift, how much can it be worth." Zhao Yunlan was a little speechless.
Li Mingren was helpless: "Then what else can I exchange, I don't have any silver, and if the yamen wants to have this silver, they don't need to raise it, they can't change the land, then they will be exiled, and when the time comes, I will be charged with collusion, and our second child will have no father." ”
Zhao Yunlan patted Li Mingren on the back heavily, and said angrily: "I talk nonsense every day." Show me the drawings of the road. ”
Li Mingren smiled and motioned for Ye Sheng to go to the study and bring the drawings. This map is a simplified version of the topographic map of Shiyang County drawn by Li Mingren, and it is convenient to take it out and take a look, after all, the map cannot be handed over to others casually.
Ye Sheng quickly brought the drawings, and Li Mingren spread them out to Zhao Yunlan. While explaining his plan to Zhao Yunlan: "These roads I marked are the ones that need to be repaired. ”
Zhao Yunlan: "Well, if you look at these roads, they can all be connected to the official road." Once these roads are repaired, it will inevitably increase the movement of villagers in the vicinity, and it will be more convenient for everyone to come to the county. ”
Li Mingren nodded: "Well, the county will be more lively." ”
Zhao Yunlan: "That's not what I said, didn't you say land change just now?" I mean, those good fields must not be exchanged for them, but we can exchange these ownerless wastelands. ”
"Who wants wasteland?"
"Then how did our family buy that barren mountain land?"
Li Mingren patted his ass and said: "That has to be a lady, you have a unique vision and foresight." ”
Zhao Yunlan was in a good mood: "Don't make sycophants." Let's get down to business, this piece of land, you see that the surrounding villages are about the same distance from here, aren't you still worried that there are few students in the county? I plan to build a school here, so that the school is built, there will inevitably be some small stalls and vendors around, and a business district will slowly be formed, well~ it is a market. ”
"When did you think about this?"
Zhao Yunlan: "I've been thinking about this all the time. ”
Li Mingren looked at Zhao Yunlan: "The lady can always think of me in front of me." ”
Zhao Yunlan smiled and said: "It's that you are too busy every day, and there are too many official duties to deal with, so I just take advantage of having more time and less work."
So now you just want to draw a delicious flatbread for the rich people to eat. ”
Li Mingren can always hear this fresh words: "Draw a big pie? Hahahaha, what the lady said is very interesting. ”
Zhao Yunlan: "Let's talk about it first, we don't draw empty cakes, you have to reassure people, and the things you have to do must be done one by one, you are the head of a county, not a cake seller." ”
