Chapter Eighty-Six: Serve Carefully

Peng Gongdao's eyes rolled, he stood up and first arched his hand, and then said after a full number of courtesies:

"Chen Lizheng rest assured, we already know in our hearts, and we will be able to do a good job of site selection tomorrow."

"With Mr. Peng's words, we are relieved.

I've heard that this hut is a match for the new house we're about to build, and we've already dug a lot of ground in Village 40, so you can help us think about it. ”

"Don't worry, rest assured, I'm the Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, this is the head of the Ministry of Works, this is the head of the Ministry of War, and this is the county order, we will definitely plan your forty villages well."

"It turns out that all of you are big officials, it's really disrespectful, and I ask a few adults to pay more attention."

Hearing the official positions of several people, Chen Siping and others were shocked, this is a big official, you have to wait carefully, maybe there will be a time to ask for someone in the future.

It's just that Chen Siping doesn't know that these convicts who were exiled to the northwest can be sentenced to death, and the convicts who have been sentenced to life exile don't want to be officials again for the rest of their lives.

It's just that as the people at the bottom, they don't know.

One hundred immigrant villages, twenty aboriginal villages do not know, and a similar scene is happening in all but 52 villages.

All the prisoners seem to have returned to their days of being officials.

In the next few days, the gap in the ability and quality of these officials slowly became apparent.

Three days later, in the afternoon.

In a hurry, Zhao Youneng finally rushed back to Lantian City before dinner and handed over the village planning map that he had drawn day and night.

"Your Highness, there are 157 households and 562 people in Fifty-two Village, and after consultation between the villain and all the villagers, ten three-story small buildings are ready to be built, each with eighteen families to live in, and the extra one is for the newlyweds to prepare for marriage in the future."

"Considering the small population, we decided to build only five huts, but the huts will be built on larger ground, and there will be a public bathhouse next to the huts, and the water from the bathhouse can be used to flush the huts."

"We prepare water for the bathhouse to draw water from Lantian Creek, and we prepare water for cooking to dig wells......"

Zhao Youneng pointed to the one-foot-wide drawing and explained it to Zhu Gaoxuan in detail, but Zhu Gaoxuan did not nod.

Zhao Youneng is indeed capable, his plan has even taken into account the sewer, and the site selection has also taken into account the possibility of expanding the village in the future.

This drawing gave Zhu Gaoxuan the feeling of looking at the new countryside in the eighties and nineties, and it is rare to have such foresight and overall planning ability in this Ming Dynasty.

"Very good, your drawings are very perfect, I won't say anything, you ask Liu Erdan to take you to the lime workshop and the brick kiln workshop to ask the craftsmen, if they all agree, start to build according to this plan."

"Yes! The villain is going! ”

With the approval of King Liang, Zhao Youneng was so excited that his face turned red, first of all, his life was saved, and secondly, his family could move out of the exile camp and enter a normal village.

Maybe his children still have a chance to become normal people.

With excitement, Zhao Youneng rushed back to Fifty-two Village, which may be the village where his family will live in the future.

After Zhao Youneng left, Zhu Gaoxuan called Liu Li.

"Liu Li, how many prisoners have come to you for other architectural drawings in the past three days?"

"Back to Your Highness, there are a total of 35 groups of people with a total of 92 people."

"Huh...... Sure enough, there are a lot of sake bags and rice bags.

How many groups started to build thatched houses? ”

"In the past three days, only 16 groups have started construction, and some of the others are measured with sincerity, and some are cheating."

Speaking of this, Liu Li's face was a little strange, and he didn't expect those convicts to be so flamboyant that they could deceive the people into eating and drinking.

He estimated that if it weren't for Concubine Xiao Fangfei's promotion of "Da Ming Law" everywhere before, those guys would have been full of thoughts.

"Huh...... is dying, and I still want to cheat and drink, and I really want to be a dead ghost.

Liu Li, you find someone to find a place outside Lantian City for me to build a simple execution ground, which will be useful in three days. ”

"Hey...... The next official will go. ”

Liu Li licked his lips and went out.

And Zhu Gaoxuan thought about it and decided to go to the teacher Zhuge Xuan for a meal.

However, after a meal, Zhu Gaoxuan decided not to rub Li Devil's head in the future, bitter and salty is completely the standard for feeding livestock.

After taking a sip of the bitter tea after the meal, he quickly explained his intention:

"Teacher, I'm going to kill a few prisoners to deter some people, including the exiled prisoners and the people of Lantian."

"Murder?"

Hearing Zhu Gaoxuan's very straightforward words, Zhuge Xuan's brows furrowed.

Lao Zhu's sons, why are they so murderous, Zhu Gaochi's seven elder brothers, only Zhu Gaochi can be called benevolent, and the other princes are all masters who kill people at every turn.

And Zhuge Xuan's frown, in Zhu Gaoxuan's opinion, is that he really still has a certain friendship for officials, at least sympathy must be there.

This made Zhu Gaoxuan have some doubts about Zhuge Xuan's identity as a clear hermit.

The master and apprentice misunderstood their own silence in this way.

"Your Highness, it's naturally no problem to kill people, let alone those criminal officials, but it's better not to create too much killing karma for Your Highness."

"Okay, the students will refrain from it."

After being silent for a while, Zhuge Xuan still nodded and agreed to Zhu Gaoxuan's killing.

After all, some people are looking for death, no wonder others, he has also heard of the actions of those criminals.

In Zhu Gaoxuan's opinion, this is Zhuge Xuan's plea.

He will take care of Zhuge Xuan's face and kill a few less, but someone must die.

The next day, that is, the fifth day after Zhu Gaoxuan issued the task, another official found that there were too many problems to consider in building a thatched house, and came to him to ask for other drawings.

On the sixth and seventh days, all 140 groups began to build their huts.

On the eighth day, an autumn rain suddenly fell.

It's not big, it's just a trickle,

But the weather was obviously cold, and Zhu Gaoxuan, who was wearing a shirt and punching a set, was only slightly sweating on his forehead.

"I'm afraid the temperature is going to be below 10 degrees, right?"

In the room, looking at the drizzle in the yard, Zhu Gaoxuan muttered, and the method of making a thermometer sounded in his mind.

"Your Highness, it's getting cold, why don't you go out today?"

Xiao Hongmian took a coat and put it on him, and persuaded him softly.

"It's okay, I'll go in a carriage today, try not to blow the wind."

"That'...... It's good for the concubine to follow and take care of His Highness. ”

"No, I'm not a ceramic doll that shatters when touched, the previous wind chill is almost better.

You just have to go to [Houde Academy], it's cold, and you just take those girls to sew sheepskin furs. ”

Zhu Gaoxuan held Xiao Hongmian's warm jade-like little hand and rubbed it gently, a serious illness, and the relationship between the two has improved a little.
