Thirty-two, New Year’s Day holiday(1/2)
The river construction route in Tianchong City was successfully selected. Before digging the canal, the first step is to build the route along the determined route.
Officials spent time and night, drawing drawings. The length and width of the river, the style and data of the bridge.
Each item needs to be accurately calculated, including the number of workers and the daily work speed. Estimate the rough completion date and make a series of data to submit.
Zhu Qinghong is soaked in piles of information every day, confirming the details bit by bit. He will call back the shortcomings and recalculate them. He strives to be more detailed when passing the test.
To ensure the successful digging of the canal, she ran the entire route to determine the soil quality and surrounding environment.
How to strengthen the soft soil and how to excavate rocky land. Zhu Qinghong discusses with officials every day until dark.
Fang Youan and Su Rui were not idle either.
They have begun to prepare for the construction of a channel for digging the canal route, and work can be started after everyone has arrived.
Wei Xuanyu was very curious about the crops in the field.
Even though there are specialized people in their city who are committed to improving grain, the results have been very little over the years. The arable land outside Tianchong City is once again exaggerated, and there are a few more chicken farms.
Nowadays, people can eat eggs in shops.
Sell every three days, and each person is limited to one.
Sometimes tea eggs, sometimes boiled eggs, and smell the fragrance before they are out of the pot.
New varieties of newly cultivated arable land include winter melon, pumpkin, tomato and other daily dishes.
Wei Xuanyu used to sigh that the weather had not changed and it was really troublesome to not distinguish the four seasons.
Unexpectedly, temperature balance has such benefits for crops and can be planted all year round.
Su Rui smiled and handed out a freshly cooked corn: "Try it, it's very sweet. I can eat three or four of them in one meal."
Wei Xuanyu took it and saw her biting her and following the example.
The unique sweetness of corn ripples in the mouth, with endless aftertaste.
"It's just you're in a good time, just a batch of ripe." Su Rui gnawed corn like a mouse, "I can't eat it a few days later."
"Good luck." Wei Xuanyu smiled, "Miss Su, I heard that there is a chicken coop. Can you take me to see it?"
"Go." Su Rui leads the way.
He immediately followed.
Fang Ye was leading people to build a new chicken coop and a fence over there, and saw that they were busy with it.
"Miss Su. Who is this?" Fang Ye bowed generously. The first time he saw Wei Xuanyu, he was curious about the other party's identity.
"Mr. Wei Xuan, Yuwei, the military advisor of Weicheng." Su Rui briefly introduced the two, "He is in charge of Fang Ye chicken coop."
The two of them bowed each other and said politely.
Fang Ye led them to look at the chicken coop: "Now I can pick up some eggs a day. A batch of chickens have been hatched, and the city lord will give them to us for raising them. When the chickens are raised, maybe everyone can eat eggs every meal."
"It must be." Wei Xuanyu and Su Rui looked at each other and smiled. The people's wishes will always be so simple.
After seeing the chicken coop, Su Rui took Wei Xuanyu to take a walk elsewhere. At this time, Wei Zhou and his group completed the construction and returned to the city.
The city was short of staff, so they could only carry out the construction of the channel when they came back. A group of men saw Su Rui walking with a man from afar, smiling like a flower.
"Which young master from a family? Look at how handsome he looks and how arrogant he is all over his body."
"What a pair of golden boys and jade girls. Miss Su is at the age of discussing marriage after the 16th anniversary of the New Year. It is estimated that their happy event is approaching."
"Who said no? A handsome man is so envious to others. We can only take a few glances occasionally."
Men feel sorry for each word.
Only Leng Yi's eyes were so angry that she stared at the two people talking and laughing in the distance.
Tie Niu was startled by his expression and ran away quickly. Those who were working together actually discovered Leng Yi's changes.
They didn't know what was wrong, they just wanted to not meddle in other people's business and cause trouble.
Now seeing Miss Su walking with others, Leng Yi looks so crazy about love and hate.
I hope he can figure it out and live a good life.
Wei Zhou returned to the city lord's mansion to report. Zhu Qinghong gave them a few days off and had a good rest before continuing to work.
"Yes." Wei Zhou took the order and retreated, passing by Yuanyou who was coming in. The two nodded to each other.
"City Lord." Yuanyou gave a gift and handed over the account book, "The New Year is coming soon. How do the city lord plan to celebrate?"
"New Year's Day?" Whether modern or ancient, the New Year is a big festival. Not to mention the celebrations of the whole world, at least you have to have a holiday.
The temperature has not changed throughout the year, and the Chinese New Year is not so obvious. Zhu Qinghong thinks that some of the work done by the people in the city can take holidays, while others cannot leave people. It seems that specific holiday matters need to be introduced, and if it is inconvenient to take holidays, a system of holiday adjustment is adopted.
Preparations for digging canals are now in full swing, and many officials are busy.
There is no way to take a long holiday.
At the critical moment of city development, a few days off during the Chinese New Year. Plan for holidays in the future to let busy people take a breath.
There is still half a month before the Chinese New Year.
Zhu Qinghong sent someone to post specific holiday notices and explain the work that must be completed before the holiday.
In order to have a holiday, many people work hard.
Several people asked their boss whether they were on holiday.
All the embroiderers who weave cloth and sew clothes were on holiday, and the men and most of the soldiers who rebuilt the city were also released.
The grain shop and chicken coop are not allowed to work without humans. The boss told them not to be discouraged, and said they could get a rest later and say hello in advance.
When people heard that they could get a rest, they finally had a smile on their faces. Now that everyone's wages have increased a little, many people have saved some money.
Have a good New Year and be happy. Make money after spending the New Year, and enjoy the good holiday.
There is a cloth shop on the main street, and women go to pull cloth and go home to make new clothes.
Wear new clothes and celebrate the New Year, and you will look like you.
Men without wives are either reluctant to give up money or spend it on food and don’t care about their clothes.
The woman Liu took the cloth and tailored her man. The man's surname was Tao, and Xingwu.
He hugged Liu and smiled happily.
She lowered her eyes and smiled as she pounded Tao Wu's chest. The couple was loving, but they had no children for many years, and it was a pity.
Another house.
The woman holding a bun is sewing clothes while teasing the child crawling around on the bed.
Her name is Dongshuang, with a smile on the corners of her lips and gentle eyes.
When the land was opened, she carried her children on her back every day. She was very grateful for her.
Nowadays, the child who was thin and seemed to die at any time became white and fat.
Dongshuang put down the needle and thread in his hand and hug the child to learn to walk. The child is very smart and likes to walk. Even if Dongshuang lets go, he can still take a few steps.
Seeing that the child was about to fall, she hurriedly caught it. The child giggled and his little hands were stuck on her face. Dong Shuang grabbed the child's hand and kissed her, and her eyes were filled with tears.
As soon as the child was born, her husband died of the demon's mouth. She thought she and the child would not live long.
Unexpectedly, a good day finally came. Dong Shuang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and rubbed against the child's tender face.
It's great to be alive.
Work is over in the evening. A group of bachelors call their friends to chat and find a clean brag.
Even if I talk nonsense, I have a lot of fun chatting.
"What are you going to do during holidays? You don't have any wives at home. If you don't work, you'll be staring at home and stare at me?"
"Let's take a break. Take the opportunity to take a look and find a wife to go home. Having a wife and children is just a matter of life."
"There are so many monks and few meats. There are only a few women without husbands. How many people rob them? Iron bull, don't you fall in love with that widow?"
Tie Niu smiled and said, "We are now in this situation, and we can burn incense when we are attracted by the widow. What else can we choose?"
"I didn't pick it. Brother, you like her, how can we have the nerve to grab it? Why don't we match it for you?"
"Brothers can be one, one. After all, we are not all bachelors. Aren't we?"
"Yes." Everyone started to cheer.
They have seen the widow, who is good-looking and diligent. It is not easy for a woman to take care of a baby.
Sometimes working together also helps.
I saw that Tieniu had fallen in love with him, so they should not help him with it and make good things happen?
Tie Niu thanks the brothers.
It’s his business that he likes, but it depends on whether others are willing or not. You can’t use force.
"Isn't the holiday soon? Tien Niu, why don't you have many things with her? Feelings come from each other."
"We have to leave the city to work again after the holiday. I know when to come back. If you don't hurry up, be careful of someone being stolen."
To be continued...
