In the expectation of the people who are actively preparing for spring plowing, in prayer, the warm current that hit the Pacific Ocean for vacation finally rushed through the barriers and visited most of the Datang.
"A call from Hangzhou Mansion on the South East Road, the water level of Qiantang rises. Within the controllable range, Suzhou Mansion on the South East Road calls, and the water level of Taihu Lake exceeds the warning line. The garrison is requested to be deployed for defense. , The collection of tributes produced in the lake and eagles and falcons was delayed. Shuzhou, Tong’an County, received a call. The water level of the Yangtze River was rising, which coincided with the diversion of irrigation, and everything was stable.
A call from Junzhou, Shannan East Road, the "Hanshui" tributary "blocked water" Zhushan County, a section of the levee broke. The people in the county were moving. The cause of the rupture was initially found out. The county magistrate of Zhushan County paid 200,000 yuan for the embezzlement of ink and has been taken into custody. Arriving in the capital, Ningju, Gyeonggi Province calls..."
In a separate private room in the champion building, Li Longji tasted new dishes and listened to the report of Gao Lishi who had just arrived from the palace.
Since the introduction of the telegram, the communication of messages has been countless times faster than before, and it is very convenient. As long as there is something in the country, you can use the telegram to report and issue orders immediately.
Li Longji listened one by one, and when he heard that the rivers and lakes were stable, he happily ate a boiled clam. This season's clams are a good time to grow flesh and not shells, and the clams that spit out the sand are fat and fat. Fresh and tender.
Li Longji put down his chopsticks and looked gloomy when he heard that there were breaches caused by improper governance by officials or corruption of ink.
After Gao Lishi finished reporting some important situations, Li Longji pushed the plate with clams, stopped eating, and sat there sulking.
"Strictly, for me, especially for officials who are greedy for Mexico, if I want him to live and earn money, how is the military supervision and anti-moisture thing done?"
"Back to your majesty, all weapon parts are wrapped in greased paper. Don’t worry about humidity. It’s just that the aged grain in some places may become moldy. It is estimated that it will be used to make wine. The good news is that the manufacturing of the train is basically completed, and the railroad tracks are now being laid. It is estimated that it can be tested in Beijing in midsummer."
Gao Lishi also hated the corrupt officials very much. He took down the emperor's order and mentioned something that made people happy.
"Okay, okay, I heard Xiaobao say that if you have a train, as long as you are willing to spend money to repair the railway, it will take less than half a month from the capital to Luzhou, and it will be able to carry people and transport goods, eh? Bao, where are they?"
Li Longji imagined the big cake Zhang Xiaobao painted for him, and suddenly found that there was no news about Zhang Xiaobao in the past few days. According to the previous time, Zhang Xiaobao should be busy with disasters in various parts of the Tang Dynasty. There was no information from Zhushan County that he sent someone to rescue him. .
"His Majesty, Xiaobao called last night. He is going to live in Sanshui County for a few days, saying that there is a kind of seed to personally guide the local people to cultivate, and Mo Jilian and others will not enter Beijing immediately. More than 100,000 people have been dispersed and sent to various places, some are still on the way, some have already arrived."
Gao Lix quickly replied, which meant that Zhang Xiaobao was very busy and had no time to deal with disaster relief.
Li Longji pondered for a moment and nodded: "Xiaobao and their intelligence system used to be convenient for the disaster relief, so he will always take care of it. Now that he has a telegram, he should not be allowed to continue to be responsible. It just so happens that in some places there are too many idle officials. Let them temporarily form a disaster relief department, and if there is a disaster, let them take care of it, not just thinking about taking my money and not doing anything for me."
…
Zhang Xiaobao, who was missed by Li Longji, was enjoying the blessing in Zhangjiazhuang at the moment. No matter whether it was cold or not, he set up a shed by the roadside. He sat there to watch the scenery, and from time to time he talked to the Mo Ji who was beside him. What was Zhangjiazhuangzi at the beginning, what was Sanshui County at the beginning, the sky was so blue at the beginning, the clouds at the beginning were so white, at the beginning...
Mo Ji yawned, and occasionally echoed. He was dragged by Zhang Xiaobao to walk around, climbing mountains, going into the water, and wandering muddy ditches. He was more tired than he was on the grassland. He is getting older. Not as fast as Zhang Xiaobao's recovery, there is no energy to listen to Zhang Xiaobao's vernacular.
Wang Juan was also not far away. He wore two more clothes and embroidered there. It took a while before he made the stitch, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
Xiao Hai finally stopped studying his mathematics, followed Xiao Zhu around to watch the scenery, and sometimes ran to a certain door to listen to the old man sitting at the door telling the story of the past.
Xiao Bei is pulling Xiaoyuan around. She finds that the dealer in her hometown is really rich. They are all two-story buildings, and they are all made of good wood. Look at that, if it’s not for keeping the style unchanged, It is estimated that each house will have a five-story building.
Small bridges, flowing water, winding corridors, lush green grass, and long windmills.
To be able to live in such an environment around the flagship store in Shuiyunjian, from Xiaobei's point of view, she is truly rich, and she feels that the most direct way of being rich is reflected in the tradition that Zhuangzi has always maintained.
Every small pavilion in the corridor has prepared cooking utensils. No matter how the seasons change, if you want to eat, you don’t have to enter the house. Someone is responsible for taking care of a charcoal burning place and taking out the red charcoal fire there. , Just find a pavilion to eat.
When she came last time, she was still young and couldn't do it herself. Now she feels that she is older and can do a lot of things, so she brought a few members of the children's group, brought charcoal fire, and started to cook skewers.
After a while, I ran to this pavilion to cook twice, and then I went to another pavilion to see if the cooking was done. Thanks to the children of the children's group who are the children of the farmer of the village, otherwise they would run around like this, and they would definitely be lost.
"It's for you." Xiaobei couldn't eat much by himself, just thinking about the shabu, and finally found that there was too much shabu, and he was reluctant to throw it on the plate and send it to people from Turks one by one. Fortunately, Xiaobei didn't like eating meat. All the vegetables are cooked, and they are not old for a long time and can be eaten.
In addition, the people who came from the Turks were too tired of eating meat. Xiaobei gave it to them, and they would eat it until it was not wasted. At the same time, they were full of interest in this maze-like village.
Que Teqin, the King Zuo Xian who had mastered the army at the time, ate a plate of tofu, and yearned for the corridors in Zhuangzi, especially when I heard that Zhuangzi could provide food at any time regardless of freezing summer. Compare his own tribe. , Envy.
After eating and watching, he habitually regarded this place as a place to attack, and the scenery in his eyes gradually became an offensive and defensive place. He figured out where to enter when attacking, and how defenders should guard.
I didn’t think about it, but I was shocked after thinking about it. He found that no matter which direction Zhuangzi attacked from, all he had to face was fan-shaped fortifications. Looking at the stacked small buildings, he actually took care of all the angles. .
When viewed from the outside, it should be all buildings and fields, but the place surrounded by small buildings can mobilize manpower and materials at any time. It is a platform for people playing between water and clouds to stand on high places to view the scenery. It's clearly an arrow tower.
"Here, try this." Beckham brought another plate of things to Que Teqin.
Que Teqin was taken aback when he saw something. He was too big and looked at Xiaobei in confusion. Xiaobei quickly introduced "Big skewers, the outermost layer is dried tofu, the middle is cabbage, and the innermost is eggplant. I made it myself. I'm washing my hands. Whoever rubs your hands without washing your hands after eating is considered clean."
"Isn't it well done yet?" Que Teqin was not good at rejecting Beckham's enthusiasm, but looking at the cabbage leaves still straight, he couldn't help but wonder, so he asked.
"This thing can be eaten raw, the roll is too big, and the dry tofu on the outside will break when you rinse it. Have you never eaten anything raw, beef and mutton, don’t you eat it all raw? If you don’t eat it, I will eat it myself. ."
Beckham treats the things he rolled up as a treasure and makes sense to Que Teqin.
Que Teqin hesitated. He felt that he shouldn't have a bad stomach after eating. He gritted his teeth and took the tray and started eating. He was really afraid that Beckham would eat by himself. If he eats bad stomach, Zhang Xiaobao might still toss him.
Que Teqin continued to watch Zhuangzi's arrangement while eating. When Xiaobei saw that the other party had eaten, he was very happy and curiously asked, "What are you looking at?"
"See if your Zhuangzi can be defended if it is attacked." Que Teqin said in a vague voice while eating something in his mouth.
Beckham understood, she narrowed her eyes and shook her head: "Brother and sister said, unless it is a long-range attack with our Datang cannon, otherwise, when you get close, you can kill as many as you want. Once someone approaches, you will face three-dimensional. With a cross-fire attack, the people ambushing at each launch point can produce the firepower effect of a machine gun with only a single shot spear.
If there are too many people coming, there will be cannons. There are no dead spots in Zhuangzi, and there are two tactics, one is mine warfare, and the other is... Why should I tell you all? Are you going to hit our dealer? I told my brother to go. "
As Xiaobei was talking, he suddenly reacted and turned around to look for his brother. Que Teqin quickly reached out and gently pulled Xiaobei, and ate the rest of the plate as quickly as possible, and whimpered: "It's so delicious, is there any more?"
"Is it delicious? Yes, this is the cabbage and eggplant rolled with dried tofu? I'll make it for you, and wait." Beckham seemed to have forgotten to find his brother, and turned around to go busy again.
Xiaoyuan followed and reminded: "Don't tell your brother?"
"What? Saying he wants to hit our Zhuangzi? Where is he?" Beckham asked.
"Then you just..."
"I don't think that the cabbage can't be eaten if you cut too much. You don't like it, so you just give it to him. Actually, I know he doesn't like it. I don't say go to my brother. Can he stop me? Really stupid. "
As said, Beckham spread out a cabbage leaf, put the eggplant strips, stuffed the cabbage froth, and slowly rolled it.
Xiaoyuan opened his mouth and looked at Beckham carefully, as if he had just met him.
"What are you looking at? I can't help. Today's cabbage is going to be eaten. Otherwise, it will wilt if it is left overnight. I don't like it when I feed it to pigs."
Beckham urged dissatisfiedly.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't know that his sister was counting people, and still talked with Silent, who wanted to sleep.
"After you arrive in the capital and be appointed as an official, a place will be arranged for you. You are responsible for planting pasture, which is easier than planting rice. It is used to feed horses. If there is surplus, it is a sheep. Go root, choose a place yourself, don’t be too far away from the capital."
"Okay." Mo Jilian's head agreed little by little. In order to have a good rest, he diverted Zhang Xiaobao's attention and asked, "Is the garlic problem solved?"
"Quickly, let me tell you the detailed plan. You can see that there is nothing you can add." Zhang Xiaobao, who was distracted, began to talk about how to deal with Fengzhilian.
