Ye Qing only instructed some precautions, whether they understood it or not: "You don't need to understand too much, just build it up." ”

These people were all instructed by Ye Qing to establish a huàn office, and halfway through, Li Niang finally saw more knowledge, and woke up and warned them: "This thing is very important, do it well." ”

"Yes, real people, it is also an honor for us to participate in such a grand event, and we have worked hard. ”

"It's not just a grand event...... Liniang paused, sighed, and said no more.

The location of the dui huàn is in the treasury area, everyone came here, and found that this is not so much a dui huàn office, but actually a square - there are several temporary buildings in the square to shelter from the wind and snow, there are braziers for heating, rows of chairs for visitors to rest, now there are not many people, and it will be further expanded in the future, and the square is surrounded by strong and strict warehouse area is the focus of the guards.

The roofs of the long warehouses around the square were all white and covered with snow, and occasionally the snow slid down the slope with its own weight, and the guards below were covered in snow, and the snow shook for a while.

"The snow is not too heavy, it is within the carrying range of the wooden house. Yang Danchen, the port official, laughed at Li Niang and said that after all, this construction and maintenance is under his jurisdiction, thinking that there is a suspicion of shirking responsibility, he hurriedly added: "But the snow on the road has been shoveled by hand." ”

Li Niang listened to her head, looked down at the drawings, and it was obvious that the entire warehouse area was built around it, but this was an afterthought, no one noticed it before, thinking that it was the supporting facilities of the warehouse, who would have thought that it was the core of the design.

At this time, she took everyone around the square, inspected and observed, and pointed to the warehouse very close to the river that crossed the city, and said: "The warehouse of the river must continue to be expanded to facilitate the acceptance of logs floating down from the upper reaches of the river, which is specially used to store logs nearby, don't be stingy with wood." ”

"Yes. ”

The port officer agreed, took the abacus and calculated the labor and material costs, and said: "It can really attract people to exchange logs for huàn, and it is very cheap." ”

This picture is calculated, and the surrounding stewards are accustomed to it, and they nod their heads: "The lord is out well, we don't even have to pay for the freight, as long as we wait for the wood to be collected, we can ......."

Li Niang looked at it and sighed in her heart, in fact, there are still many primeval forests in the hills around Hope Harbor, among which the three oldest primeval forests have not been touched at all, namely dragon pattern sandalwood, ancient ginkgo, and Donghai mulberry, but she knows that these forests with very spiritual charm are reserved forests and cannot be cut down, and if they are cut down, they will cut off the wood vein aura in this area.

The development habits of the five veins have their own characteristics, and the East China Sea Youth League generally attaches great importance to the protection of the ecology, which is because many kinds of ancient trees have aura, which is very beneficial to the foundation of the green veins.

If there is something good at the top and something at the bottom, no guy dares to steal the wood, and the logging is done with fast-growing wood, how many old trees are cut, and how many seedlings are planted back - if you don't do this, the chances of the whole territory giving birth to the seeds of green vein cultivation are getting smaller and smaller, and the cultivation is becoming more and more difficult, and there is no strength to defend the empty territory, and sooner or later other families will occupy it, and it will make the white, red, and yellow veins laugh and lose their big teeth.

In fact, I was really laughed at in history...... Later, the method of expelling the forces of the green veins invented by the white, red and yellow veins was to cut down trees, and it goes without saying that the golden veins were good at it, and the red veins were even so bad that they set fire to the mountains and burned them to the ground!

After the five emperors and the three monarchs stopped the war, concluded a treaty and established the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Article explicitly ordered to put an end to this evil behavior, and the violators directly descended to heaven, which is a destructive act for the world.

However, it must be admitted that the scruples about environmental protection make the development of Qingmai much more expensive.

At present, this is the case around Hope Harbor, except for the three small reserved forests, the fast-growing forests have been cut down to the safety line, sparse and sparse between the large trees, many replanted saplings have not yet grown, and the farther the road is, there is even no road in winter, and it is not easy to be troubled by miasma, which invisibly adds cost to the development of green veins.

In the winter, after the snow is better, the felling does not have to be carried by people, and there is water transport down the river - and this is the reason why the stewards are happy to feel that the lord is in good government, and many times look shabby, and they have to do it.

"Don't patronize the logs, we can only use this thing for our own use, and the people outside don't recognize it, and if you want to exchange it with the coastal states of the mainland, you have to collect more fur - it's winter, and they need this. ”

The stewards recorded one after another: "Yes, real person, is there no limit to how much you can buy?"

"Really...... The lord didn't say anything, we didn't stop collecting, what is lacking now is the population, how much can be exchanged for how much......" Li Niang said and paused, remembering things, and clicked on the person in charge: "You copy a bulletin and paste it on the wall, call the residents to watch, some people are not literate, find two stewards to take turns to read out the rules of the huàn office......"

"Understood. ”

Don't look at this little girl in front of Ye Zhenjun, she can be called an experienced cultivator in front of everyone, and everything is ordered and assigned in an orderly manner, and everyone present is convinced.

Yang Danchen, the port officer, looked at it with some emotion - as an old man here, he can be said to have watched this little girl grow up, and it is inevitable that there will be a generation of new people replacing old people.

When the stewards all went down to do things, and when there was no one around, Li Niang looked back and asked with a smile: "Why does Uncle Yang look at me like this?"

"I think of your master. Yang Danchen said that at the age of about forty, the wind and frost had already dyed his temples, which was the result of many years of hard work in his sailing career, and physically he was already aging, but his eyes were bright and sharp, as capable as when he was young.

In the land where the snow is hidden, there are always a few rays of sunshine.

"When your master brought her to Hope Harbor, she was still a yellow-haired girl, and she didn't have much impression, but your master was impressive......

I remember that it was the first day of winter snow, and on the narrow street selling groceries in Minato District, the woman in white held the little girl's hand, and when she was in front of a candy store, she squatted down and asked the little girl what she wanted to eat......

In his vague memory, it seemed to be his mother's smile when he was a child, but whether it was or not, mortals could not tell the difference.

Li Niang blinked, and asked with some interest: "What did the master look like at that time?" Uncle Yang, you should be the same age as her, maybe even a few years younger than her, but I remember that she has always looked very young......

"I can't remember ......"

The middle-aged port officer said with a little regret that he had long forgotten his specific appearance, but only remembered that he was very beautiful, and his smile was even more beautiful: "I was still a young captain at that time...... I almost had the urge to say hello to her, but I quickly suppressed my beating heart, I am a child of a dilapidated immortal cultivation family along the coast, although my cultivation is hopeless, but I am not without knowledge...... Just look at the magic sword she wears and the three Aoki sigils on her robe, you can see that such a woman was born to defend this hot land of hope, and she does not belong to me. ”

Li Niang bowed slightly, she agreed with this, don't look at Aoki Sect in charge of Niu Er, but because of the critical moment to the front line, the disciples' survival pressure is still very great, most of the senior sisters and sisters have no time to manage their feelings, and many times their feelings are broken, it is better not to invest, and spend more effort to practice and exercise at least to live longer.

“...... After that, the sea life came and went in a hurry, and there was no chance to see each other again, until four or five years ago, when the winter defense campaign, he was the leader of more than a dozen transport fleets, transporting many reinforcements to participate in the battle, your master came from Nha Chau Island, and really knew each other, at that time, I took her hand and talked about the impression of meeting her several times, and some feelings in my heart ......"

She was surprised, but not angry, she just withdrew her hand and joked - you are the first man to dare to hold my hand, but I only like people who are stronger than me, you can't. ”

In an instant, I regretted the weakness of my strength, but I was inexplicably relieved, because she then laughed at herself and said, there are not many men in this world who are stronger than me, no wonder I have not been able to marry...... Uh, I'm talking about your master, not Liniang. ”

"Know...... You know, I didn't participate in the battle when I was close to breaking through that year, and then?" Li Niang urged, she hadn't heard the story of the master from anyone else for a long time, and the uncle and the elder were afraid that she would be sad, so they no longer told the story of their adventures together when they were young.

"I talked to her a few times, and I heard her say that there was something special in the interior of Dongzhou that year, and there seemed to be a change. The middle-aged port officer sighed and muttered, "It wasn't a good year, and so many things ......."

"There is nothing else to say in my memory, when we separated, I asked her if we could meet again, and your master smiled and said that when she came back to see again, it was to get off the ship in this port and embark on the road to the east, and the sword light disappeared into the depths of the jungle, and she did not come back......"

Hearing this, Li Niang's face darkened, and the middle-aged port officer fell silent and stopped talking.

On the night when I heard the news, I was so drunk that I was in a tavern, and the next day I sold the fleet to Aoki Mune for a very cheap price, and in exchange for the position of presiding over the port affairs.

In fact, there is not much oil and water, which is not worth the price of selling the fleet, but he just gives up the wandering heart of a captain and is willing to stay here, and is willing to leave a place for future generations.

In a blink of an eye, time passed like this, and now the high-spirited young man has become a busy middle-aged man, starting a family, and working hard for the construction of this port, and even the little girl is already a real person, and she is also fighting for this land.

Lots of people gathered in this land full of hope and danger, without a clear direction, many rubbing against each other, still trying to get together and fight for survival, this is the feeling that the mainland does not get, and it is the reason why he chose to be here instead of returning to the mainland.

"Hope Port is a good name, your master told me so, she likes it very much...... Li Niang will be under the command of Zhenjun in the future, but she will have to work hard and take care of herself. ”

"Well, I will. ”

The two didn't talk again, the golden winter sun shone silently on the square, and the dust of the past of the previous generation was immersed in the light and disappeared into the snow.

And the sound of footsteps sounded in all directions, accompanied by the shouts of the stewards to publicize the huàn, and the crowd that heard the news was coming from all directions.
