Juan'er smiled: "You are the most powerful in charge of things, I only think I should brag when others say this, you say that I believe it very much." ”

The three of them talked and laughed again.

For Lin Piao to go out together, the one who likes to run the most is Fang Ming.

"Big brother, let's go out to build roads together, it's a happy thing, go out and see this Daning."

This matter was reported, and with Shen Hong in the middle to help, it was naturally easily approved, and Lin Piao participated in the planning of this matter from the beginning, and the little emperor couldn't find anything wrong, and he didn't dare to refute Shen Hong's face.

The two of them packed up their things, and they didn't know how many dried bread and jerky were stuffed, especially Da Zhuang, and he said that he wanted to stuff them all with what he was eating.

"Today's weather apricots are edible, bring two baskets of apricots to eat on the road, oh yes, there are also pickled side dishes this spring, pack a few cans out, even if you eat white rice, you can also have a bowl of rice."

Lin Piao stopped him again and again, otherwise with a strong posture, he would like to drag a cow up for him.

The things that Shen Hong prepared for him were much more streamlined, and he took a small cloth bag for him to pack neatly.

Lin Piao glanced down: "What is this?" ”

Lin Piao opened the mysterious cloth bag and took a look, and found that it was densely packed with letters.

"So many letters?" Lin Piao lowered his voice: "Who are you going to take it to?" You can't leak the wind on the road, right? ”

Shen Hong smiled and touched his arm: "Along the way, there are about people you have friends with, all of them are here, if you have something to look for them, take out the letter and use it, now that you have left Beijing, others don't know that you are Lin Piao, and you can't prove your identity. ”

Lin Piao looked down at the letter in the bag, Shen Hong was afraid that he would be in trouble, so he wrote so many letters of recommendation to him just to prevent one of those ten thousand.

Lin Piao's eyes were a little hot for a while, and it was true that he hadn't left Shen Hong for many years, and at this moment when he was about to separate, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Lin Piao hugged Shen Hong, and could only ask stupidly: "So much, my hand hurts." ”

"It's okay, it's just time to practice calligraphy."

"I'll miss you."

"Then call again."

Lin Piao thought for a moment what Shen Hong meant, and then remembered that it was about that night's title, and leaned in to lower his voice.

"Husband and Princess, Husband, Princess, T

Lin Piao felt that he couldn't read the words "Xianggong" clearly.

However, looking at the smile in Shen Hong's eyes, it could be seen that he liked it very much.

On the second day, everything was packed up, and Lin Piao's team officially set off.

Lin Piao got up early in the morning, did not familiarize himself with it carefully, combed the simplest men's hair bun, changed into a set of men's clothes, so it was much lighter, Shen Hong had been waiting for him by his side, looking for clothes for him, and handing him food.

"Bring a few more fences, let the people around you be more careful, now that the sun is big, don't bask more, tanning is just a trivial matter, if you lose your skin, every inch is painful."

Lin Piao nodded: "I will also bring rain gear, don't worry." ”

"Have you brought all the wound medicine?"

"Brought it."

"Did you bring enough?"

"Bring enough, definitely bring enough."

When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, Erzhu and Ergou Dazhuang and his party had been waiting for a long time, Yu Niang and Hua Rusui were looking at him with some worry, and the second aunt and Uncle Qiu brought them a large bag of things, all of which could be eaten ready-made in the past few days, and they also knew that it was useless to stop Lin Piao, so it was better to prepare more things for him.

They said goodbye at the door, and were stuffed with a bunch of things, and Juan'er already had a large bag in her hand, and wanted to go down and stuff it into the carriage, and then climbed into the carriage that was almost empty, although there were two carriages, but the stuffed things they were stuffed were enough to feed dozens of people.

Lin Piao turned around three times in one step, and waited for the carriage before Ergou approached Shen Hong's side and said softly: "Don't worry, let your little sister-in-law go out like this, it's so dangerous outside." ”

"He's not happy in Shangjing."

Ergou thought for a while: "How many attendants have sent?" ”

"Forty, take turns day and night, you can't go wrong."

Ergou laughed out loud at this time: "Shangjing is indeed a lot of things and boring, it's not bad to go out to play, sister-in-law is leaving, I also want to run out." ”

As the carriage gradually moved away, Lin Piao lifted the curtain, looked back, and saw that they were all standing at the door, watching him, and suddenly remembered that a long time ago, he was standing at the door of the small courtyard, watching them.

In the past, they were traveling frogs, and now Lin Piao is a traveling frog, but the traveling frogs have a home behind them that has been waiting for him.

Chapter 220

For example, the business road around Beijing is developed, a large part of it is because Da Zhuang is working hard to develop trade relations, and the people who come and go near this are entrusted by Da Zhuang, and also admire Lin Piao very much, although Lin Piao usually does not care about trivial matters, but also knows that he has the decision-making power in his hands, all the way to visit and entertain, and brought his wife to do a banquet, all the way to the Shengge banquet to eat, want to hear what novel ideas he can say, if you can hear a few words between small talk, it is a great creation.

The scenery is beautiful all the way, the air is fresh, and every day or two I will settle down to rest, and now I am gradually farther away from Shangjing, and the sky is no longer as low as Shangjing, and the mountains in the middle are numerous, and the sky is high and blue.

Although the buildings in the village are not very good, the sky in the village is also so blue, Lin Piao couldn't help but think of Shen Hong at this time, and after walking through many places, he realized that even the sky was different in each place, even if he looked up, he was not looking at the same sky.

Shen Hong was so smart, had he found out about this before?

Because it is the summer season, the new fresh fruits, fresh wine and food, come and go have arranged people to come and give, that is, ice cheese and other things, and will send some from time to time, but this thing is precious, only three small bowls are loaded in a food box, and some ice cubes are piled up around to keep it cold, only Lin Piao, Han Xiu, and a hand-picked entourage can eat, the entourage is thin-skinned, and he is not embarrassed to eat it after eating it a few times, so he no longer accepts this kind of thing, and the saved bowl is given to Juan'er to eat.

Juan'er is not a person who particularly wants to eat and drink, but it is good to have a bowl of ice cheese in this weather, because she wants to go around to see the scenery, sometimes she often wears a hat, followed by an attendant, and goes to the vicinity of their resting place, looking at the mountains, rivers and streams, watching the sky and willows, and when she comes back, she is covered in sweat, when she comes back, the ice cream is half melted, and it is still cold, the entrance is just right, and she will bow down on the table and start to draw pictures, do embroidery patterns, and after a break from painting, she will start to clean up the house and tidy up everywhere. Wash some daily clothes, because when she came out, she said that she was here to be a maid, and she didn't want others to think that she was just an idler who came out to see the scenery, and when she was idle, she did the autumn rain and made a lot of effort, and in a few days the whole team said that she was the most diligent maid, because of her diligence and beauty, which attracted the side eyes of many attendants, but she didn't care, she only lowered her head to do things and lived her own life, and went out to walk around when she was idle, and when she came back, she only talked to Lin Piaoqiuyu and them, if someone else came to talk, she didn't bow her head timidly, just um, Well, the whisper responds, and nothing else cares.

After walking like this for seven or eight days, Qiu Yu also muttered a little: "Madam, although we have a good life like this, and there are good scenery on the road, and our life is good, but let's eat like this and spread it, okay?" But you have to keep an eye on some people around you, and you can't let this matter get out, or I'm afraid you will have to say it. ”

Lin Piao shook his head: "The people who come and go are miscellaneous, and the people who can control themselves can't control the people who come and go, what we eat is not from the government, it is the things that the merchants themselves are willing to make friends with and send, not to mention that they also have more or less intersections with us, and it is not a big taboo." ”

"I don't dare to say anything to others, I'm just afraid that he will break his mouth."

Lin Piao smiled and said: "You are afraid of breaking your mouth, won't that broken mouth be happy to die, don't talk about muttering to me, even the emperor will mutter, how can there be no one in the world who he doesn't mutter, this kind of person is too idle, he just doesn't run his head, don't care about them." ”

Lin Piao found that in the autumn rain, they were always very afraid of being talked about, and they were afraid of being talked about by ordinary people, and they were afraid of being talked about by villains, and they were afraid of being talked about by those who loved each other, so he comforted them with two words to make them feel at ease.

"It just so happens that if I look at the map today, I say that there is a river in front of me, and the scenery should be good.

Juan'er was lying on the side of the small desk to draw, and when she heard him say this, she raised her head: "Little sister-in-law, are you coming?" ”

"It should be coming, these 78,000 roundabouts are about to enter the mountains from the official road, and there should be local officials waiting for us nearby, you can eat some more cakes, and when you come back at noon, you will be so hot that you have no appetite, and you have not eaten two bites of rice."

"Sister-in-law, I'm not hungry."

"It's also too hot, people have no appetite, as now they are starting to be remote, and there are fewer people who come to deliver things, there was mung bean soup the day before yesterday, but today it is inconvenient on the road, and there is no mung bean soup to drink, if someone receives it later, these things should still be there."

Lin Piao strictly followed the guidelines of covering spring and autumn and freezing in summer and winter, and now he is fiercely cool, wearing only a light and cool ice silk shirt and pants, and at this moment he also lifted up all the sleeves and trousers, turning into shorts and broken sleeves, this scene in the eyes of Qiu Yu and Juan'er couldn't bear to look at it directly, and when it was almost time, the two of them quickly stood up, neatly put on his clothes and tied his waist seal, and when the carriage stopped, it was a neat Mrs. Shen.

Lin Piao got out of the carriage, and Han Xiu on the other side also got out of the carriage, and the entourage was followed by seven or eight professionals who came to the field trip, but in this era, their status was not very high, and they could only follow behind as junior brothers.

Someone has already met in front, and introduced each other to each other, only to know that the other party is a state official, but the state capital is still a little far from here, it can be seen that he came to this place on purpose, and there are three county officials from Linxian County, standing neatly behind and nodding his head, with a smile on his face, first he admired Han Xiu's name for a long time, and then he admired Lin Piao's name for a long time, and he really worshipped, admirable and so on, and then said that he built a small pergola in front of him, and he could eat something while looking at the scenery.

"I deliberately chose a good place, close to the water's edge, where the water vapor and wind surge up, I don't know how cool it is."

They followed and found a small pergola, the size of a ten-mile long pavilion, with thin bamboo planks on it, a roof made of bundles of straw, and bamboo mats on both sides as drastic curtains.

Lin Piao glanced at these workmanship: "My lord is really attentive, these costs a lot." ”

"What can this cost, but just invite a few craftsmen, these bamboos are all over the mountain, everyone can weave bamboo mats, they are all worthless things, and the pillars are also transported down from the nearby mountains, and it took some thought to think that the adults would come from afar and sit comfortably, but it is not much to spend money."

Lin Piao smiled: "Adults are diligent and thrifty, and they are very good at skillful work. ”

Han Xiu also smiled on the side: "My lord, this cultivation is good, not to mention that we are resting, even if the accompanying carriages and horses are resting together, it is enough." ”

Zhizhou said with a smile: "Ben is also going to start construction around here, and when the time comes, people can rest here, and things can also be stored here, and when the road is repaired, it will be considered a foothold, and in the long run, the people will be able to use it, and everyone will be happy." ”

Lin Piao thought to himself that this Zhizhou had done a good job, licked each of them, and also thought about the future use of these things, although it is easy to weather and erod, but there is no problem in giving shade and rain in a few years, and it is really not a chicken rib building.

Walking into the pavilion, as soon as he walked in, Lin Piao only felt that a moist cool air permeated the air, and even Juan'er beside him praised it: "It's so cool." ”

All around are the rumbling sound of water, although it is not deafening, but everywhere, the water vapor is rushing, the wind brought by the water flow is also exceptionally cool, standing in the pavilion blowing their clothes in all directions, Lin Piao looked at the turbulent clear river in front of him, under the agitation of the stones and reefs at the bottom of the river, the pale green river stirred up the water, became a white river splashing waves, Lin Piao looked at the scenery in front of him, the cool air hit his face, knowing that this was the first stop they were about to start.

After looking at the scenery for a while, Zhizhou said: "Prepare some thin dishes, and invite the adults to sit down." ”

The dishes were prepared in advance, and there was no place to prepare meals in the wilderness, so I took the food box and brought it out, and sent it the same, Zhizhou said: "It will take two days to go to the state capital, and I specially came to greet him, and asked the adults to laugh and accept, I don't know if the adults want to see around here first, or go to the state capital to settle down first." ”

Han Xiu said: "Let's take a look here, let's take a look at the landform here first, if we have seen it on the map, it is not as good as looking at it on the spot." ”

Zhizhou nodded: "Yes, my lord is right, and this is the case." ”

The dishes are served on the table in the same way, the appetizers are some refreshing and appetizing cold dishes, the meat is also some white chopped chicken, braised meat, it tastes very good when it is cold, Zhizhou has brought some here, not only to please them, but also to please the people around them, so that people can put a few more seats, and the groom attendants who came with them can also have a good meal.

It is said that there are no common people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and Zhizhou naturally knows this truth, these are either high-ranking families or powerful upstarts, and the maids and attendants they can trust so much will not be ordinary people, and they will all be entertained.

But he also inquired, Shen Hong has always been honest, one is Shen Hong's sister-in-law, the other is Shen Hong's opponent, Han Xiu and Shen Hong have been competing, whether they are clean in private or not, there is no need to hit this muzzle now, this table has fish and meat, braised meat is pork, fish is big carp, chicken is also ordinary chicken, all are ordinary and delicious practices, no flowers, both neat and decent, will not feel too extravagant, dessert is a big bowl of mung bean soup, fruit is a few big watermelons brought over, dare not put it too well, I don't dare to put it badly, lose my manners, and provoke the dissatisfaction of these big people when the time comes.

Zhizhou said with a smile: "It's all some mountain flavors, the most common way, and I don't know if adults are used to eating it." ”

Han Xiu nodded, indicating that it was excellent, Lin Piao knew the priority, and waited for Han Xiu to finish speaking before saying: "The most important thing about ingredients is the original taste, as long as many things are fresh, they don't need to be precious, so they are already very rich." ”

Lin Piao looked at this table of dishes, which was much better than the table of delicacies and delicacies from the mountains and seas set out by the county official in the small county government, and they all had what they should have, and they were not too extravagant and wasteful, especially in such a peaceful and prosperous situation, as long as ordinary people had labor at home and were willing to do things and work, they could afford to eat such things as pork and fish.

Lin Piao thought of this, thinking of this era, one is the low income of the population, and the second is that the number of pork breeding is too small, basically the farmers are free-range and then the large households go to collect pigs, because the population density is small, the price will not be coaxed too high, for the problem of protein supply, we should adapt measures to local conditions, and systematically develop animal husbandry, fishery and other projects.

Lin Piao was a little fascinated by it, and he didn't move his chopsticks for a while, and Zhizhou smiled respectfully: "Lord Lin, is it because the dishes are not in harmony?" But if there is anything you want to eat, just give me the order, and then go and prepare it. ”

Lin Piao shook his head: "It tastes good." ”

Although they are all simple seasonings, the white chopped chicken is wrapped in scallion oil and soy sauce, the duck soup is appetizing with sour radish, the carp is stuffed with ginger and garlic in the stomach, and the sauce of black bean sauce and green onion and garlic is poured on it, and it tastes good when it is cold when it is cold.

Lin Piao did not express this idea for the time being, put it aside for the time being, ate first, waited until he went inside, and accompanied by the state capital and county officials, he walked around the nearby mountains and places for two days.

Fang Ming couldn't get enough sun, Lin Piao was wearing a fence on his head, and he was followed by an attendant holding an umbrella behind him, but he had removed a lot of temperature, and Han Xiu also had an umbrella, but Fang Ming didn't have this treatment, so he rubbed the umbrella and discussed with Lin Piao with the mountain map all the way: "Look at the terrain here. ”

Fang Ming pointed in front of him, corresponding to the current place: "This place is not far from Shangjing, but the biggest problem is that it is remote and the road is not easy to walk, so it took us almost ten days to come here. ”

Fang Ming drew a line on the drawing: "In this way, it will become a road, and it may only take three or four days to come here from Shangjing, and from here it will be connected to the nearby roads, all the way through, so that it will radiate out, and several major roads will finally be connected to Shangjing and Luodulai, so that the vicinity of these roads will prosper." ”

Lin Piao nodded: "With this road, there is no need to come around in a twist and turn, although there are some twists and turns on the road, but the whole is a straight line, which will save a lot of time." ”

After they looked at the terrain, Fang Ming was an expert in this area, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I listened well when I was studying, and I still learned well in geological surveying. ”

Fang Ming called two attendants, took a shovel to dig the soil, checked the tightness of the soil, whether the stone content was high or not, whether there were big rocks underneath, the size of the rocks, hardness, etc., and then took a booklet to record them one by one, Han Xiu watched from the side, and the experts behind him also stepped forward to check, they have their own years of experience and methods, although they are more experienced than Fang Ming, but they can't do it like Fang Ming looks more professional at the moment, they look more like they are here to steal holes, some people are holding pickaxes, some people are holding compasses, Some people squatted down to touch the soil, nodded, exchanged glances with each other, and then bowed to Han Xiu.

"My lord, you can do it here."

Then it is to look at the compass, calculate whether it is auspicious or unlucky, whether it is suitable or not, and then discuss that when it is time to come again and prepare for the official start of construction, it is necessary to formally worship the mountain gods, so that the mountain gods know that they are for the people, not for their own selfishness, and do not blame them.

The master holding the compass said: "Some people in the people do not understand, so they rashly make a lot of movements, between this heaven and earth, every grass and tree has its own aura, and animals that have lived for decades can understand human speech, not to mention that this has existed for tens of thousands of years of high mountain stones, and it is easy to be harmed by the opening of mountains and broken stones, and some people do not sacrifice to the gods before building roads and bridges, and it is inevitable that a few people will be put into it in a single thing, sometimes it can only be said that it is a live animal sacrifice, but it is inevitable that it is too cruel, we must do it, if we have everything to be thoughtful." Come. ”

Lin Piao nodded: "Regardless of whether it's true or not, try to have peace of mind, so that everyone can feel at ease." ”

Otherwise, if something happens in the future, I always feel that I have not done enough to be thorough and in place to provoke these things, and I feel uncomfortable thinking about it from time to time.

Everyone discussed it properly and planned a route that was easier to dig.
