After that, they prepared to turn back, first returned to the place where the small pavilion had been built, they sat and rested for a while, drank a large bowl of mung bean soup, and wiped the sweat from their faces.

Zhizhou was instructing the people around him: "Inform the people in the vicinity that this pavilion was built by this official, and that in the future there will be a place for those who come to build the road to rest, so that they can pass by on weekdays and come to rest more, but they must not damage it, otherwise they will be guilty of a felony." ”

Lin Piao looked sideways, and Zhizhou said kindly: "Lord Lin doesn't know, although the people in this remote place are simple and simple, but sometimes there are some bad people in the poor mountains and bad waters, if they don't give orders to go down, intimidate, let them be afraid of power, otherwise they don't know where this thing came from, and some lazy people are afraid that they will cut down all the wood here and move it home." ”

Lin Piao nodded: "My lord is thoughtful. He also lived in the countryside, and although the people he came into contact with were more industrious, he also knew that there were some lazy people in the village, and they might be too lazy to go up the mountain when they were tired one day.

When they were about to leave for the state capital, Han Xiu said: "This official has seen the map, and the closest place to this place is Linxian, not the state capital. ”

As soon as he heard Han Xiu's words, the county officials didn't dare to squeak, they only laughed with them, and they didn't dare to express their opinions. ”

Han Xiu said: "Everything is based on this project, we have received the hospitality of the adults, and we will remember the adults in the future." ”

Zhizhou laughed and said that he didn't dare, and then he patted his ass and thanked him again.

He didn't dare to offend Han Xiu, who was born in a great family, and naturally knew that Han Xiu was guarding against him, he relied on prudence and emotional intelligence to get to this day, Han Xiu said this, he naturally wouldn't rush to hit it.

They then went to the county government, Lin Piao also talked to Han Xiu on the road about this problem, Han Xiu said: "To build a bridge and pave the road, the difficulty is not to find workers to pick stones and transport sand, nor to find craftsmen to build carefully, the real difficulty is to peel off a million taels, how many can get to this bridge on the road, Zhizhou wants us to go to the state capital, that is, we want this money to be allocated to the state capital, and the state government will send people to find craftsmen to build the account book, even if he is cautious, he will always be greedy for seven or eight thousand taels of silver, there are always various methods, manpower, transportation, from the head is very much, Although it is not that we can't let others fish out at all, but peel off the layers and wait until the repair is later, we may not have enough money to repair the last section, and then we will ask the court for money, and the court will blame it, but it is our sin of not doing things well. ”

Lin Piao nodded: "The cat here is greasy, there are many doorways to transfer and usher in all aspects, you have worked hard." ”

Han Xiu smiled: "It's okay, I'm already good at this, I've talked a lot about these things with Shen Hong before, he told me a lot, and it's almost the same when he repairs the ditch, he stares at it all day long, and it's not a concentrated worker, but he stares at the officials who come and go, mobilizes the people nearby, and looks at the grain, grass and money, otherwise if he doesn't pay attention, he will cause a big disaster, and in the end, everything will be a mess, and all the money will be gone, which will be a big disaster for the people and himself." ”

Lin Piao heard him talk about Shen Hong and said with a smile: "He talked to you a lot, and when he talked to me, he only told me to be careful outside, and said some daily things. ”

"This is a nuisance, I am also responsible for doing it, it is the correspondence in the officialdom, you and Fang Ming do planning things, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses."

The two talked for a while, Lin Piao went back to his carriage first, and it happened that Fang Ming was waiting for him here, Juan'er and Qiu Yu were also inside, they all sat on one side to avoid him, and Fang Ming himself also realized that he found a corner to sit in.

As soon as Lin Piao entered, Fang Ming's face turned bright: "I'm very bored, I came to talk to you, but you went to talk to others." ”

Lin Piao sat down: "I chatted with Han Xiu for a while, after all, people are professionals." ”

"When I ate before, I saw that you wanted to talk and stopped, and I didn't think about chopsticks for a long time, I saw that the dishes were very delicious, how atmospheric people were, and finally gave us a few big watermelons, a big pot of mung bean soup, these days I have eaten The carriage is empty, and finally something is filled in."

Lin Piao looked at him: "I just think about this agricultural breeding thing, but according to local conditions, there are mountains nearby, so I will build some small places in the good places of the mountains, which are good for raising chickens and sheep, but I also think of a problem, if the government organizes the raising of chickens and ducks, then it doesn't matter if the retail households just raise chickens and ducks and eat for themselves, but if the retail households want to sell for money, meat or eggs, whether they go to the door to collect them or take them out and sell them themselves, this will be a loss for them." ”

Fang Ming listened to this question and fell into deep thought: "And the problem you mentioned, since it can be raised, and the government can organize it, maybe these officials will directly let their families raise them, and it will be themselves who will make a lot of money when the time comes. ”

Lin Piao thought for a long time: "Actually, I thought of a method, but it is a test of the trust of the people in the village, do you remember the cooperative this kind of joint production, you can stipulate that each village form a joint cooperative, and then raise it on the nearby mountain with more suitable terrain, the whole village unites, and then each family takes turns to work and manage it in batches and time, so that everyone is more relaxed in the end, the labor time is shorter, but there is a higher income, eat the chicken and eggs themselves or buy them into the nearby county capital, This can also be regarded as poverty alleviation and increased production. ”

Fang Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and thought carefully for a while: "It's a good idea, it's good." ”

After saying that, he fell into silence, as if he was still thinking about what had just happened, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Then there are chickens with mountains, and ducks with drinking water and lakes." ”

Lin Piao thought for a while: "Although chicken manure stinks, but it is also a nutrient for the mountains and forests, too many poultry and duck manure lakes and rivers will also be polluted and smelly, and also affect the lives of local people, you can consider raising more screws, carp, you don't have to go out of your way to cultivate, this era is rich in products, only tell the local people not to fish for small fry, to eat more creatures that love to eat screws, within a year this ecology will be naturally formed." ”

Fang Ming nodded again and again: "Big brother is powerful, it is worthy of you, and your thinking is fast." ”

After the two of them discussed, Fang Ming left first, because there were many county governments far away, just like they used to go from the village to the nearest county government, it was enough for the ox cart to walk for half a day, not to mention that they were now sitting in a carriage, and they arrived at the county government at night, and the county officials and Zhizhou came together, so why should they have a banquet and discuss for two or three days, to see how to arrange the transfer, they looked like they were listening to the arrangement, everyone had dinner first after they settled, and after a brief discussion, the county officials did not know whether they were afraid, or what was said by Zhizhou. One vigorously said that Zhizhou is better, there is an experienced engineering team over there, there are better craftsmen over there, and there are no talents on his side, and so on.

Han Xiu smiled and said: "It's not just a matter of saying it, you have to see it to know, in short, it's close, it's only two days away, if they also want to contribute to their family and country, they will ask them to come over with their belongings, and everyone will discuss and discuss together." ”

In short, the matter was settled, and Zhizhou did not dare to say anything more, and persuaded the county magistrate to say a few words, and calmed the people, and the matter passed, and the county magistrate took them into the county government to live, and took care of the best few small courtyards for them to live in, and constantly emphasized that if they needed something to say, they would buy it when the time came.

Lin Piao occupied a small courtyard, Juan'er and Qiu Yu lived with him, and the four attendants who followed him lived in a small room outside.

Lin Piao stayed here, and at night he sent some mung bean soup outside, although it was not iced, but it had been cooled, and it was put in a large basin with a porcelain lid, and the attendant had already checked it before bringing it in, and it was enough for everyone in the courtyard to drink a big bowl.

"Drink more, cool off, and replenish water, and you may be tired when you are busy later."

Qiu Yu accompanied Lin Piao, and after talking for a while, he couldn't help but ask sideways: "It's such a hot day, and I don't know when I can go back." ”

Lin Piao thought about it, Qiu Yu has a lover in Shangjing, and he is afraid that he will be out for too long, and he also has a lover in Shangjing, Lin Piao held his chin and looked at the moon outside the window.

The night is quiet and the cicadas are singing, and the moon is like practice, I don't know what Shen Hong is doing now.

"Even if you stay outside for a long time, if you have time, you can often go back to see it, and if this road is repaired, this section of the road will be opened, and it will be much shorter to go to Beijing from this side."

Lin Piao looked at the moon.

At this moment, Shen Hong was standing under the porch, also looking at the moon in the sky.

He was wondering what Lin Piao was doing today, whether he had been free outside after leaving him, and he was no longer happy.

But he suppressed the thoughts in his heart, he knew that Piao'er was not such a person, and their feelings were not so casual and could be dispelled.

What he wants is for Piao Er to love him, not for Piao Er to be trapped by his side and can only love him.

What's more, he has already instructed his attendants to write letters every day to report to him Lin Piao's daily life, what he says and does outside every day, whether he is in danger, and whether he ...... And another man was in love with him.

Of course, Lin Piao already has him, and he is naturally disdainful of other men's admiration.

Shen Hong asked the attendant to write letters to himself secretly, and he often wrote letters to Lin Piao in the light, he knew that Lin Piao liked letters, connected with each other's hearts, and could also leave a memorial.

After looking at the moon for a while, he went into the study and began to write under the candlelight.

No one else would read his letters, and he could write his thoughts freely in them.

The envelope was fluttering in the forest.

Shen Hong chose a piece of gold-sprinkled paper, unfolded with a faint fragrance, the tip of the pen was soaked with ink, the soft tip of the pen fell gently, and the hairpin flower with a hand connected to the muscles and bones.

Lin Piao's wife.

Where did you go today, what scenery did you encounter on the road, the roses outside Beijing can also bloom, your advice before the month is still lingering in the ear, the weather is hot, don't be overly hot and exposed, pay attention to coolness on weekdays, drink more mung bean lotus seeds and other things, summer heat cold can not be prevented.

Everything is fine in Shangjing, I always remember your advice, the roses have been dried into dried flowers without you, made into honey sauce, waiting for you to return.

It's been a while since he wrote his last letter, but probably because the distance is too far, he hasn't received a reply from Lin Piao yet.

On the other end of the thought, Lin Piao finished eating a supper snack and was about to go to bed, when he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, I haven't replied to Shen Hong yet! I was thinking about the trouble on the road, and I didn't see anything worth talking about, so I thought I would write to him after seeing a little more scenery. ”

Lin Piao stood up, Qiu Yu and Juan'er helped him find all the things such as pen and paper and put them on the desk, and the two of them sat on the small table to rest and chatted quietly.

Lin Piao picked up the pen and felt that he wanted to say a lot, but when he lifted the pen, he didn't seem to know what to say, so he thought about it and wrote.

Shen Hongwufu.

The letter has been received for several days, I wanted to go back early, but I always want to wait for the back to see something more powerful, so that the letter to you will be more brilliant, the scenery along the way is very good, but it is not the same as we have not seen, just the mountains and trees, fresh air, everywhere is fresh to make people feel fresh, we came here, but also saw a lot of things, high peaks and dangers, the hills are also beautiful and straight, the water is very cool and cool, no water in summer, you must remember to drink more water, before you said in the letterThe annual harvest of medicinal honey to make sugar water to drink is very good for the body, very relieving the heat, ready to send me some, this time said don't think that you have already let people send it, you take care of my body, but also take care of yourself, you work more on weekdays, if I am not in Beijing now, can not blindly tired, to rest more, to recuperate, wait for me to come back.

After Lin Piao finished writing it, he looked at the sentence and waited for me to come back, feeling a vague sense of suggestion, and wanted to cross out and stain the paper, so in the end he could only keep this sentence.

Blowing lightly on the paper, Lin Piao waited for the pen and ink on the paper to dry up, folded it neatly, stuffed it into the envelope, and then wrote the three words Shen Hongshui on the envelope.

The boy carefully sealed his mouth, and the letter lay completely on the table.

Seeing that Lin Piao had finished writing, Juan'er and Qiu Yu said, "Little sister-in-law, I don't know what Xiaoyue is doing in Beijing today." ”

Lin Piao beckoned: "Come here, you also write a letter to Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue has been staying with you, and now she is suddenly separated, and she has to be left alone, and I guess I feel very uncomfortable." ”

Juan'er hesitated a little and said, "But Xiaoyue didn't write to me, but she was a little angry with me." ”

Lin Piao smiled: "You didn't write to me either, could it be that you are angry with me?" We walked outside, and it was only ten days since we were full, and we didn't know where to stay, and I didn't know if we were busy, but we came out to do things. ”

Juan'er thought, but Brother Shen Hong wrote a letter early in the morning, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong to think like this, Brother Shen Hong was different, his heart for his sister-in-law could not wait for a day, and he was not afraid of disturbance, not to mention that husband and wife always mix oil in honey.

After Juan'er figured it out, she felt that she should write a letter to Xiaoyue first to ensure her safety, so she sat down and picked up the pen and put pen on the letterhead.

My friend of Satsuki.

It's okay in Shangjing, such as the business of Mingfang this month can be busy, I have arrived safely, I have settled down temporarily, everything is good, don't worry, you have been saying that you want to lose more weight, I have always wanted to tell you, don't reduce meals, add more meals, don't say that I came out to see this trip, just say that when we are in our hometown, the most important thing for people is strength and spirit, if there is no such thing, in the end it will not work, you have to remember to add more meals, but also for me and my sister-in-law to greet the second aunt and Uncle Qiu, summer is dry, the body is the most important, if it is autumn, If you want to lose weight, if you want to be strong, when I come back, we will be active in the garden, and so on.

Lin Piao saw that he had finished writing and asked, "Can I read it?" ”

Juan'er nodded: "The little sister-in-law can naturally watch it." ”

Lin Piao walked up and looked at the side: "Xiaoyue wants to lose weight for the first time?" It's just that she's not fat either. ”

Juan'er shook her head: "Women are those who please themselves." ”

Chapter 221

Wrap all the letters, hand them to the attendants beside him, and let him arrange for them to be sent out, these attendants had all been with Shen Hong before, with their own contact information and internal channels, which could be about a day faster than ordinary post stations.

After taking a bath, Lin Piao carefully wiped his whole body with a warm handkerchief, feeling that every pore of his body was open, and he put on his clothes and walked out, his half-wet hair was scattered.

"In summer, don't be greedy for coolness, the more you wash the cold water, the hotter it gets, and the hot water comes out again, but it is very cool, and you feel that the cool breeze blows into every pore."

Seeing that he had cleaned up and was very comfortable, Qiu Yu and Juan'er simply burned an incense piece in the small incense burner, went to sort out the clothes that had been washed first, and then went to fetch some water and began to freshen up.

Although the night was much cooler, my hair dried quickly on a summer night, and by drinking a cup of tea with my hair loose, my hair was almost dry.

Lin Piao put down the teacup and sighed faintly, this kind of daily moment inevitably reminded Shen Hong.

If he is still in Beijing at this moment, the house will be filled with the soothing incense and the faint woody aroma of pine trees, which will penetrate little by little with the wind, Shen Hong will hug him from behind, bury him in his neck and smell the smell left by the bath beans, and the light sniffing action will slowly turn into a kiss falling on the neck, slowly going up, and gently holding the earlobe.

Lin Piao took the thought for a moment, thinking that he was a little distracted, and the more he thought about it, the farther he went.

Juan'er and Qiu Yu hadn't freshened up yet, Lin Piao didn't want to get close to ask, seeing that her hair was almost dry, she lay down on the bed to rest first, and the things between the beds were all new, although the things were not very good, but they were also soft fine cotton, Lin Piao was wrapped in an ice silk gown, leaning on the soft pillow, and she couldn't help but think about Shen Hong.

I don't know if he slept at this point.

has been with Shen Hong for a long time, although he wants to travel with Shen Hong from time to time and wants to get along with Shen Hong more, but he basically has no feeling of missing, and Lin Piao sometimes wonders if he doesn't have so deep feelings for Shen Hong, so he doesn't want him.

Now we know why.

It turned out that it was the reason why it was never separated.

Now I want to die.

Lin Piao hugged another soft pillow and stuffed it into his arms, rolled in his arms, curled up, and decided to sleep.

When Juan'er and Qiuyu came out, they saw Lin Piao lying on the bed, curled up holding a soft pillow, his hair was scattered, and his robe was slightly wrinkled.

The two looked at each other and said in very soft voices: "Let's go out." ”

Juan'er and Qiuyu nodded and walked out lightly.

In the middle of the night, the stars in the sky became more and more luxuriant, shining on this dark night and the roof, and the mountains in the distance disappeared into the night, and only the lights of the world reflected each other.

Lin Piao got up the next day, Fang Ming counted the time, and came over on time to step on it, because Lin Piao's identity was heavier, the breakfast that Lin Piao could eat here would naturally be better, and Fang Ming naturally wanted to come over to eat breakfast.

Although the county government has specially prepared a lot of delicious food for them, they are basically some freshly steamed small meat buns, bought bean paste cakes, plus candied fruit and watermelon, and they are beautifully put together on a table.

Even the best breakfast consisted of small meat buns and wontons, and the chaotic skin was still thick, and the maid of the Xianfu said that it was okay to go down, and if they wanted it, they would serve them some noodles to eat: "Because there were more people to entertain, some pork rib soup and chicken soup were stewed for the noodles to eat, and they were kept delicious." ”

"No need, the girl will go and serve breakfast to others, and the girl won't need to take care of it for the time being."

The maid nodded: "Okay, then I'll go somewhere else." ”
