At night, the big guy came to the conference hall and sat down on the chairs on the left and right, Li Yang leaned back on the chair and crossed Erlang's legs: Guanshan Road, Changlongfeng, and the flow of the mountain canal have been mapped

Guanshan arched hands: The owner has already mapped out, and the construction can start when the canal is dug in Longfeng Mountain after recruiting the people

Li Yang: How much money is left in the second bank

Li Song took out a small notebook from his arms and glanced at it: the boss still had 5,800 silver coins left after paying the salt field tax

Li Yang: Ju Zheng will ask the officials to put up notices on the streets tomorrow, recruiting 5,000 people to repair rivers and canals, 20 copper coins a day, and the wages will be distributed on the same day, and the blacksmiths will be recruited by the forging workshop to recruit 500 copper coins for a month, and after the harvest in the autumn of next year, they will be uniformly raised to one silver coin, and Yantian will recruit 1,000 craftsmen with a monthly salary of 500 copper coins, and when it rises to a silver coin after the autumn of next year, these craftsmen will still be recruited on a household basis

Han Juzheng picked his fingers and calculated: Brother Li, there are nearly 12,000 households in Alan County, including 10,000 Xinmin households, and in addition to the sailors we recruited and the craftsmen we are going to recruit, there are still 2,000 households in Alan County that have no source of income

Li Yang: Juzheng, then increase the number of craftsmen who repair the canal to 7,000, and the county government will bear the burden of houses and food, and it will soon be winter, so that the big guys can earn more money to buy what they need, and we have to prepare for the New Year in the next step

Gao Yuan: The Chinese New Year is a big event, only this year's New Year is prosperous, and every household can be smooth next year

Yuan Kui: Yes, many places in Zhejiang have suffered from drought this year, and it is also the wish of the big guy to have a good year

Li Yang: Now life in Alan County is too boring, the second child, you have a drama troupe, singing singers and musicians are recruiting in our Alan County, you can play shadow puppets or you need to buy things, you can go to Taizhou City to buy things, and when you get it, find a wide place nearby to build a drama garden, and let the opera troupe sing every day after dinner

Li Song: I'll start Zhang Le tomorrow about the boss troupe, and today I opened two pickle shops and a pharmacy

Li Yang: It's not a joke for the second child to open a pharmacy, don't you say the old saying, quacks heal the dead, so you must be cautious about opening a pharmacy

Li Song: Boss, this pharmacy is opened by Gaoren Pharmacy in Taizhou City, I don't want to prepare a lot of Jincang medicine and some commonly used Chinese medicine, it's too inconvenient to run back and forth like this, and the residents of Alan County have to seek medical treatment if they have a little illness, so I went to Taizhou City to briefly talk to Gao Wen about it, but I didn't expect Gao Wen to agree without saying a word

Li Yang smiled slightly: Although this Gao Wen is a Langzhong, he is still a businessman in his bones, he understands that if you want to make money, you have to invest money first, doing business is like a gamble, as long as you put the guarantee right, you can win money, the second child, you are doing a good job, Alan County has a pharmacy, and the residents can get medical treatment, which is a big deal

Li Song smiled a little unconsciously and raised his hand and scratched his head

Li Yang slapped his hands on the chair and stood up: If there is nothing to do today, the big guy will disperse

After returning to the room, Song Shiting was lying on the table to paint, Li Yang lit a candle lamp and gently put it on the table, and took a closer look at Song Shiting painted a picture of mountains and rivers flying swallows, surrounded by towering peaks and mountains, the clouds floated in the mountains, the red sun hung in the sky in the distance and there were a few white clouds floating next to it, a group of white geese flew up in the dense forest, the two rivers went straight down the mountains into two waterfalls and converged into a river, there is a small village in the dense forest under the mountain, this painting is really lifelike

Li Yang stretched out his hands and hugged Song Shiting from behind and put his face on her face: Madam, you are really good at painting

Song Shiting's little face was flushed and she shook her body shyly: It's okay, husband, why did you come back so early today

Li Yang sat down next to Song Shiting: I'll come back early if I don't have anything to do today, I have to find time to accompany you more, Madame, turn your body around and I'll press it for you

Song Shiting turned around beautifully, Li Yang gently pressed her shoulders with both hands, rubbed the thumbs of both hands on her neck again, and dragged her ears out with her index and middle fingers: Madam, can I say that my craftsmanship is reasonable

Song Shiting looked very enjoyable: it's okay

Li Yang stopped with both hands: Madame has something I want to discuss with you

Song Shiting turned around and looked curious: What is the matter?

Li Yang grabbed Song Shiting's little hand with both hands: Madam, I want to buy some iron ore from you to use to smelt iron and forge weapons, Madam, you have to give me a cheaper

The smile on Song Shiting's face disappeared immediately after hearing this, and then she pulled her little hand back: Husband, although we are husband and wife, business is one yard for business

Li Yang looked at Meng B after hearing this, "Hey" Is this still the gentle and virtuous Song Shiting I know, how do you feel that she is more like an authentic businessman, Song Shiting took an abacus from the dresser: Do you want to buy iron ore or buy smelted iron

Li Yang was surprised when he heard this: Madame, can you still make iron in the mine?

Song Shiting looked proud: What's so strange about this, ironmaking is not too difficult

Li Yang: What is the price of iron ore and smelted iron?

Song Shiting is serious: It depends on how much you want to buy, and I will naturally give you a cheaper price if you buy more

Li Yang looked at Song Shiting and couldn't hold back a smile: Madam, I want to buy 100,000 catties of iron

Song Shiting picked up the abacus: If you buy iron ore, I will give you 3 copper coins a catty, and every catty of iron will be calculated as 30 copper coins, and you will have to give me a total of 3,000 thousand silver coins

Li Yang smiled innocently: Madam, I've been a little tight lately, can I give you half of it first, and I'll settle the rest of the money after a while, do you think that's okay

Song Shiting's little hand was on the abacus, and after listening to Li Yang's words, her hand suddenly stopped on the abacus: No, half is too little, you give me 2,000 silver coins first

Li Yang shook his head helplessly: Everything depends on Mrs

On this day, the sea breeze near Sealand Village was much stronger and colder than usual, and a three-foot-long altar was placed on the beach, on which was placed a pig's head - two roast chickens and steamed buns and several kinds of fruits, and five yellow incense sticks were inserted on the incense burner in front of 2 and 3 in order

Long Chuan came to the altar and knelt down on one knee, holding three yellow incense sticks in both hands and shouting: The sea god Mazu Tianfei is here to worship today, please Mazu Tianfei bless us to go to sea safely - return safely, our generation sail out safely - the stormy waves are scattered with the wind - the rainstorm and thunder and lightning avoid me - return home at sunset

After speaking, Long Chuan inserted three yellow incense sticks into the incense burner, and then stood next to the altar and waved his hand for Li Yang to step forward

Li Yang-Guanshan and more than a dozen other people knelt on one knee in front of the altar, covered three yellow incense sticks with both hands and raised them above their heads and shouted: Please Mazu Tianfei bless the children of Taizhou to go to sea safely and return safely, Mazu Tianfei has suffered from drought in many places in Shangzhejiang this year, and tens of thousands of Li people are hungry and hope that Mazu Tianfei will bless them, and this time they can return with a full load at sea

After speaking, everyone got up and inserted the yellow incense into the incense burner, and 1,000 soldiers knelt on one knee and clasped their fists with their hands and bowed and shouted: Please Mazu Tianfei bless us and others, go out and return safely

At this time, the waves became more turbulent than just now, and the sea breeze became more fierce, the big guy who was blown by the sea couldn't open his eyes, his hair and clothes swayed with the sea breeze, Li Yang bent his eyes and shouted: General Long seems to be about to change the sky, can he still drive a boat out to sea

Long Chuan looked up to the sky and laughed, "Haha-okay" This must be Mazu Tianfei heard our appeal, such a good weather is suitable for sailing to sea, you put it Taizhou's warship will be like a dragon on the sea to ride the wind and waves

Li Yang: General Long's trip to sea this time is all up to you

Long Chuan nodded slightly, and looked at the soldiers with a wave of their hands: Brothers, board the ship

Seeing the soldiers boarding the warship one by one, the big guys had a relieved smile on their faces, and looked forward to their safe return as soon as possible

I saw Long Chuan pick up a big red flag with both hands, which said "Taizhou Sailor" waved violently and shouted: Go to sea

The soldiers untied the cable that bound the warship, and the warship gradually sailed into the ocean, and the big guys couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, and their eyes couldn't help but moisten and smile

Gao Yuan raised his hand and wiped his tears: we finally have our own sailor

Li Yang hugged the plateau over: Yes, the formation of the coastal defense battalion is the result of the joint efforts of our brothers, let's go, we should almost go back

On the way back to Alan County, Li Yangran remembered one thing, "Alas, did you notice just now, I seem to see a coffin board in the building of the eight three-sail warships."

Yuan Kui on the side: When you say this, it seems that this is really the case, I also noticed this just now, and it is too unlucky to put a coffin board on the ship for the first time I go to sea

Guanshan smiled: I know something about this, the coffin board you are talking about is actually called Taipingfang, the biggest taboo for people who eat by the sea is to bury themselves in the sea, if the people buried in the sea are not found in time, it will always float on the sea and cannot return to their hometown, and after a long time, they will become lonely ghosts, and Taipingfang indicates that Ping'an can guide the souls to return to their roots

General Long Chuan was also a kind-hearted man, praying for peace from Mazu before going to sea, and after going to sea, he used Taipingfang to guide the invisible souls of the unseen souls at sea to return to their hometowns, and in return, the souls would bless the ship to return safely

After hearing this, the big guy understood what was going on, but he didn't expect to have so much to say when he went to sea

In the next few days, every sunset, the big guys would go to the beach near the village of Sealand together, looking out at the vast ocean to see if the fleet had returned, and every night there was no shadow of the fleet, and it seemed that they would not come back today

The weather in late autumn has a great temperature difference between morning and evening, 7,000 people dig a canal under Longfeng Mountain, after a few days of construction, the flow direction of the canal is basically dug out, the people wield a hoe to dig the canal deep, use a shovel to poke the soil into the soil basket and pick it away, suitable for burning bricks and firing porcelain specially put in a pile, the size of the dug out stones are all placed on the river bank

A man raised a hoe and slashed into the ground "click" as if something was broken, the man curiously used the hoe to pick up a few times in the soil, and saw that it was a piece of broken porcelain tiles and did not care, and used the hoe to dig the ground "click" and there was a crisp sound, and then the nearby people also encountered this situation, at first everyone thought that these tiles were the tiles on the house

But as more and more tiles were dug out, the big guy soon didn't think so, because there were at least 100,000 tiles dug out, and the scattered area was also very broad, and some places even dug up some people's bones, the people saw this and said, "Dig up the bones of the dead, this is a construction taboo, it's too unlucky", the big guy was at a loss, so he sent someone back to the manor to report the news

Li Yang was lying on a chair with Erlang's legs crossed, basking in the sun and blowing a small breeze, and humming a song in his mouth, it's rare to be so idle today, I have to give myself a vacation to enjoy it

Just as Li Yang was enjoying this comfort, a family member ran in in a panic: The young master is not good, the people dug up a large number of tiles and human bones when digging the canal, and the people thought it was a big taboo and all picked on it

Li Yang shouted softly: Guanshan Daoist, come out quickly

"Alas, here it is, here it is" Guanshan walked out of the house: what happened to the owner

Li Yang: There's an accident on the other side of the canal, you can quickly pack up your things and go with me

As soon as Guanshan heard this, he turned around and ran into the house to pack his things, Li Yang returned to the house, put on his armor, picked up the steel knife and walked out: You hurry up and find Gao Yuan and Yuankui, and let them take the trap camp and the fire trap camp to Longfeng Mountain to find me

Jia Ding responded: It's the young master

Li Yang and Guanshan took more than a dozen guards to gallop all the way, and when they arrived at the bottom of Longfeng Mountain, they saw thousands of people lying on the ground crookedly, Li Yang was a little unhappy when he saw this scene, and then a foreman ran over: Your Excellency, you can count it, the people have dug up a large number of porcelain tiles and some bones, and the big guy doesn't know whether to dig down again

Li Yang: Of course you have to dig, now that I'm here, you can let the people continue to work

The foreman whispered to the people along the canal: "The big guy has rested enough, and it's almost time to get up and work."

Only a small number of people got up from the ground, took tools to the canal and dug up, and the people who were still lying on the ground: digging up the bones is a taboo in construction, and it is too little to say that there are only 20 copper coins a day, and we don't want to mess with those unclean things

The people on the side responded one after another, "Yes", "As soon as I came here, I felt that there was a yin qi"

Guanshan took out a handful of yellow paper from his cloth pocket and threw it into the air, then took out an incense burner, lit five yellow incense sticks and put them on the ground, held a copper bell in his hand and shook it, "Dangchang-Dangchang", walking around near the canal, chanting incantations in his mouth

After a while, Guanshan went to the riverbed and looked at the people: I have already surpassed the souls of the dead here just now, and now you can work with confidence

Some of the people got up from the ground, took their tools and went into the canal to dig with their hands, but half of the people continued to lie on the riverbed and refused to work

Li Yang saw that these people were a little conscious of wanting to stir up trouble, and if they were allowed to let go of those who wanted to work, they would also be affected by them, so he walked to the riverbank and looked at the people lying on the ground: If you don't want to do it, then go back, I will count you as one day after working for half a day today, and you will go to the manor in the evening to receive today's wages

The people got up from the ground lazily and threw the tools in their hands to the ground: Let's go, let's not provoke those unclean things for the sake of this money

After saying that, thousands of people staggered away, and at this time, Gao Yuan and Yuan Kui rushed over with a thousand soldiers from the trap camp and the fire trap camp, and when they saw half of the people leaving the plateau, they asked: Why did they go

Li Yang shook his hand: Leave them alone, you and Yuan Kui came just in time on the plateau, let the brothers pick up the tools and dig the canal with the people

The plateau general waved his hand: the brothers took their tools and went to the canal to help

Guanshan walked over with a piece of porcelain tile in his hand: The owner, you see that these porcelain tiles are blue-green, unlike the house tiles used on the roofs of ordinary people, even if it is a rich family, it is impossible to use so many porcelain tiles, if the poor road is not wrong, there is likely to be a big tomb below, we dug up the coffin tile on the top of the tomb

Li Yang looked at the porcelain tile and whispered: Don't make a noise in advance

In the afternoon, one of the soldiers shouted, "Here's something, come and see."

Li Yang and others stepped forward to see that it was a cross-shaped pillar, the petals around it were obliquely raised, and it didn't take long for a cross-flower pillar to be dug up nearby, and then more and more cross-flower pillars were dug out, and the big guy dug nearly a meter deep in the afternoon, and Guanshan carefully checked a total of one hundred and twenty-eight, at this time it was already dark and the big guy called it a day and went home

The next morning, when the big guy went to the riverbed, he found that there was a layer of black water on these pillars, at first everyone didn't care about it, it was probably the morning fog attached to the silt and flowing out of the dirty water, as the river canal dug deeper and deeper, these pillars also leaked out completely, the big guy stepped forward to take a closer look, all of them were like dead ashes, these pillars were not pillars at all but coffins

But this doesn't make sense, when the coffin is buried, it is buried flat, so that the deceased can be buried in the ground, but these coffins are buried vertically, this is a big taboo, the deceased can not enter the earth for peace, and the black water on the coffin has gradually increased

Guanshan stepped forward and wiped the coffin with his hand, and the black water was sticky on his hand: the black water seeped out of the coffin

As soon as the words fell, a cold wind blew and made people shudder, the clear sky suddenly became cloudy, making the day like night, the dark clouds in all directions continued to gather in the sky, and it felt like the whole sky was about to collapse Yes, lightning splashed in the black and blue sky, and suddenly there was a thunderous sound like the sky cracking down, nearly a hundred lightning bolts hit the coffin from the air, and the sparks that collapsed splashed on the riverbed, and the people shouted when they saw this: "These coffins are angry and are about to turn into ghosts and come out to ask for their lives." Let's run or it'll be too late."

The people stumbled and slew, and the ducks ran

The dark clouds were getting closer and closer to the ground, and the thunder and lightning struck the riverbed across the sky, and the thunder and lightning were all white at first, gradually turning blue, and finally turning into purple in the riverbed, pushing around on the riverbed, and a loud and terrifying sound echoed throughout the valley, "Whoa-whoa", the earth began to shake slightly, and the sand and gravel continued to splash

Gao Yuan shouted: Li Yang, this is too dangerous, let's quickly lead people to evacuate

Li Yang shouted: Gao Yuankui quickly gather the brothers

Yuan Kui blew the horn "Woo-woo" and asked the soldiers to gather here

Seeing this, Guanshan took out a gossip astrolabe from the cloth pocket, and saw that the pointer in the astrolabe was rotating rapidly: the owner seems to have something powerful to cross the catastrophe here, and if it succeeds in the catastrophe, the creatures within a radius of 100 miles will suffer

Li Yangqu bent his eyes and shouted: What should I do then

Guanshan took out a copper sword, tied several copper coins to the hilt with red ropes, threw them out with all his strength and stuck them on the riverbed, and then hugged them together with both hands and shouted: Heaven and Earth Xuanzong - Wan Qi Bengen - inside and outside the Three Realms - only the Tao - there is a thunderbolt inside - the thunder god is incognito - I am the eye of heaven - chase with the sky - a thousand gods and ten saints - protect my true spirit - ghosts and demons avoid - the golden photovoltaic demon array rises

After speaking, he bit his index finger and threw the blood on the copper sword, and a huge golden thunderbolt hit the copper sword, and the copper sword bloomed with a brief light, and the copper coins floated in mid-air

Guanshan then took a number of charms and threw them in the air, "Drink", and shouted loudly, counting the thunder and lightning on the bronze sword

The thunder and lightning finally stopped, the earth was not shaking, the sky was still dark and lower than before, and after Guanshan finished casting the spell, he collapsed to the ground

Li Yang immediately asked people to lift Guanshan up, and Gao Yuan and others returned to the manor with the soldiers

It wasn't until late at night that Guanshan suddenly opened his eyes, and grabbed Li Yang's arm tightly with both hands: those standing coffins on the Dongjia canal are black water corpse coffins, which were formed into a formation by the masters with Qimen Dunjia, which is a black water corpse coffin array that has been lost for thousands of years

As soon as Li Yang heard about the coffin formation of the black water corpse, he just wanted to ask carefully what was going on, but Guanshan fainted again
