Cub Nursery

Chapter 417

Most of the houses in the county town have been demolished, many places are full of people coming and going, some craftsmen trot all the way with blueprints, and some craftsmen even ride iron donkeys, running around all day long as conductors, really busy very.

After all these days, the county town finally took shape.

And the original official road after leaving the city has completely changed, widened, covered with layers of gravel and cement, and the surface is made of smooth concrete, and the two sides are specially built with burnt red bricks. A sidewalk was built, a tree was planted every few steps, and a field for planting flowers and plants was reserved beside it.

A yellow line is drawn in the middle of the extremely wide concrete road, and white lines are drawn on both sides, but anyone who wants to walk on the cement road must learn the rules of the cement road.

Some craftsmen who had learned the rules early on rode on the iron donkeys and rode on the concrete road, galloping all the way, and went to Shangyuan Village in a short time.

Compared with the changes in the county, Shangyuan Village is really changing with each passing day.

Concrete buildings have sprung up one after another, and workshops have already been built. Even if they haven't started recruiting workers, just by looking at the scale, one can already imagine what kind of grand occasion it will be when these workshops are fully operational in the future.

The craftsman riding an iron donkey rushed directly outside a concrete building. Naturally, a young child came up to him and helped him park the donkey in the shed beside him. The front desk at the door stopped and handed out a wooden sign.

The handsome young man at the front desk took the wooden sign and poked lightly on the wooden stake on the table. Several patterns appeared on the wooden stake. When he looked down, a sincere smile appeared on his face. "So it's Craftsman Hao, please come in."

Said the beautiful little brother handed over the wooden sign with both hands.

Craftsman Hao took the wooden sign, thanked him, and then carefully put the wooden sign back into his pocket.

This wooden sign and wooden stakes are similar to the wooden stakes and sticks used in Beijing shopping malls to prevent theft, except that the wooden sign here is a bit more powerful. As long as you find the Popo cub to register the content, the wooden sign and wooden stakes can form a connection. When touched again, special symbols will be revealed, and only those who have learned it can understand these symbols.

It is said that this is one of the abilities of the Bobo cub after his monster power has greatly increased, but Artisan Hao knows the existence of "Bo". If the technology and equipment are sufficient now, he can also study "Bo". Unfortunately, all aspects are not yet developed enough. .

Entering the cement building, there are rooms on both sides of the corridor, and there are signs with words on the door frames. There are rows of seats in the corridor for people waiting to sit.

There are still many people waiting to meet Yan Xun, Artisan Hao can only wait at the back, he is not in a hurry, he looks up at the bright daytime demon lamp in the corridor, and takes out a thick book from his arms The thick, palm-sized book read carefully.

The more he understands the content of the book, Hao Craftsman also feels that there is no limit to learning, and the knowledge he understands is just the tip of the iceberg.

When it was his turn, Craftsman Hao put away the palm-sized book, got up and entered the room.

In the room, Yan Xun was talking about the letter sent back by the snake body cub, "I will make a special arrangement later, I am afraid it will not be quiet for some days."

"Lord Jia and General Xie probably won't be free." Jing Fengye said as he handed a soup lady to Yan Xun.

This is not the first time Hao Craftsman has seen Jing Fengye, and he is no stranger to it.

Although Jing Fengye has traces of dragon scales all over his body, he can't stare at it casually, and he is a monster, but if he really wants to get along with him, he feels that he is no different from ordinary people, he also eats, drinks, and learns. He treats his brothers better than ordinary men.

"Sit." Yan Xun hugged Mrs. Tang, pointed to the bench in front of him, saw that Craftsman Hao had sat down, and asked, "What's the matter?"

On the other side, Jing Fengye was still whispering, "The cubs are so busy that they come back to have a meal together at night, and they have to go out to work overtime at night, and Brother Dan and Dan Honghong never came back. Ah Zhu still has to sit in town over there, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while."

Qiyuan County has a lot of waste to do, and one person can't wait to be used by two people. Many people hardly sleep, especially craftsmen who have mastered the technology.

The Taoist soldiers and men who work are okay, they only need to rush to work during the day, and they can always take turns to rest at night, but there are only so many craftsmen, and everyone is responsible for different jobs. Once something goes wrong, they can only be responsible for it The craftsman is in charge, otherwise other workers will have to stop.

So everyone else can rest, only craftsmen can hardly rest, they just find a place to nest at random, and take a quick sleep.

And the cubs led all the craftsmen and the workers below, busier and more tired. At this moment, many cubs looked like black and white cubs, staring at big dark circles.

"My lord." Craftsman Hao took out a rolled-up blueprint from his pocket and handed it over, "This is the blueprint and budget of the artificial river, sir, please have a look."

Yan Xun sat still, Jing Fengye hurriedly stood up and helped to open the blueprint.

"What does Master Jia say?" Yan Xun asked.

Craftsman Hao hurriedly said, "Master Jia said that regardless of the blueprint design, personnel deployment can be arranged."

"Where is General Xie?"

"General Xie said that there is really not enough manpower, so we can only squeeze out as much as possible." Craftsman Hao also felt a little helpless.

Yan Xun couldn't help sighing, picked up the pencil and revised a few places, and said: "Take it back and make revisions, and send the budget to Mr. Jia as soon as possible. As soon as the transfer order is issued, I will go to General Xie to ask for someone. I think it can be done." Not many people were squeezed out, so I wrote a letter to urge Ah Zhu to find a way to get a group of refugees to settle down in Qiyuan County, and you can go down and get busy."

"Yes." Craftsman Hao took the blueprint handed over by Jing Fengye, and hurried out. He was also very busy, and had to ride an iron donkey back to the county to discuss with other craftsmen, and he had to go to the county government office. Find Xie Ranshu and call someone.

Nowadays, there is no idle person in Qiyuan County, everyone is performing their own duties, and they are all so busy that they can't wait to fly directly.

Yan Xun finally had a rest here, so he hurriedly drank tea and ate snacks, so he couldn't be idle in his heart, and had to think about things, "In any case, the crown prince is the heir, and he represents the emperor. Do not care."

"Everyone is not free." Jing Fengye whispered, "I'm afraid they would not be very happy if they came out to greet them."

"I can't do this, the rules can't be broken." Yan Xun rubbed the center of his brows, leaned into Jing Fengye's arms, and pointed to his shoulder, "Help me pinch, I don't know why I'm always tired these days, okay? The easy-to-grow meat has lost weight again."

Jing Fengye rubbed his hands to warm them up, and slowly squeezed Yan Xun's shoulders.

This room is not too big, it is divided into two rooms inside and outside, with a table, a few chairs and a tea table on the outside, it will be full, and there is also a small bed for temporary rest in the inside. Can't let go of anything.

On the contrary, the house has large glass windows, and the sun is still very warm when it shines in. The house is also equipped with demon lights, which are brightly lit at night.

Seeing Yan Xun's eyes closed, Jing Fengye knew that Yan Xun was not asleep but was thinking about something in his heart, so he said, "Qiyuan County is very different now, the emperor asked the prince to come, of course it is for ulterior motives, let's continue Yes. But Mrs. Jia, Xie Ranshu, and the people who have been promoted from below may not be reconciled."

The Taoist soldiers under Xie Ranshu's hands were originally only the Taoist soldiers from the capital's camp, and the Taoist soldiers seconded from other places were all masters, which was very difficult to manage. The power in Qiyuan County is in the hands of Jia Qiugu, and all the opportunities for the Taoist soldiers to take credit have been in the hands of Xie Ranshu, and his status has also risen.

Even the red dog whose eyes were above the top at the time wanted to call Xie Ranshu brothers and sisters, just to get a better job, not to mention the others.

Jia Qiugu also promoted many small officials under Jia Qiugu, and these people were all loyal.

Now that Qin Yi is coming, there must be many people who are not happy to ask everyone to put down their work and accompany him exclusively.

"One by one, there is no one who is stupid. He knows that there is no future for the prince, and he knows that I am not compatible with the prince, so he dares to hide behind me and kick him." Yan Xun was also very helpless. He was also unwilling to serve the prince. Judging from the letter sent back by the cub, it is obvious that the person who came was not kind, and it is not known what kind of trouble will be caused by that time.

Qin Yi's own calculations were very good, but he didn't think that the people he recruited were originally against the imperial court. If this news is spread back to the capital, what will the emperor think, what will the ambitious prince think?

"I'm afraid the emperor will get angry again when I turn around." Yan Xun closed his eyes, pointed to his head, and asked Jing Fengye to help him press it, "A Zhu didn't see who was the emperor's person next to the prince, we should Be careful."

"I know." Jing Fengye said softly, "Wendong and Wenqiu haven't received any news yet, so I'm staring at them."

"Where is the person that Sister Yi contacted?"

"There is no movement for the time being. I'm afraid there is a letter in the letter. I'm very cautious. Seeing how confident I am, I'm afraid it will take some time."

"That's a waste of time. Sooner or later, I'll chase the letter and find out the person who hides in the innermost part."

After the two talked for a while, they had to open the door again to see the craftsmen who had been waiting outside.

Qin Yi gathered hundreds of people directly, which is called a mighty force, but these men are not soldiers after all, all of them are lazy, and after a few days of walking behind, they start to complain, lazy, and courageous The big one clamored to see His Royal Highness the Prince.

It was useful to accept these people at the beginning, Qin Yi showed up in person, now they are useless for the time being, how could they say that they will see His Royal Highness when they see him?

The yelling got louder, and naturally some guards rushed over to try to scare the chickens and monkeys, and the rest of the people naturally didn't dare to speak.

The rambunctious men also reacted belatedly. At that time, they were eager to follow Qin Yi to rush forward, but there was no way to just say a few words about this matter, and Qin Yi didn't go back to Beijing directly. , but to go to the county seat.

Immediately, many people felt that they were sober, and began to regret it again, and wanted to go back to the camp.

There are Taoist soldiers guarding the inside and outside of the camp that can be used for labor. In fact, they can go back if they want?

It's useless to make a fuss, if you don't do it well, you will lose your life.

Brother Dan watched these people change their expressions coldly, and watched the people around Qin Yi make an example of others, without stepping forward to stop them.

But when the team moved forward slowly for several days without encountering the camp, the dry food began to be stretched, and when many people began to secretly worry, the team finally encountered someone again.

"Qiyuan County is only so big. If you march in a hurry, you can walk back and forth in a few days. If you walk in such a slow way, you can still see the traces of the camp in the morning when you look back after walking in the morning. It's normal for the master to be a master." Brother Dan whispered, "It's their luck to meet someone at this moment."

"Brother, we met the man who opened the canal." Dan Honghong ran back with excitement on his face, "Our brother, the leader, is very impressive. Brother, do you want to go and see?"

Brother Dan, who was still very reserved just now, nodded immediately, "Go and see."

"I'll ask Xiao Huang to come with me." Dan Honghong didn't forget about the little prince.

The others were terrified when they saw the huge and incomparably deep ditch that suddenly lay in front of them. Even Qin Yi felt dizzy when he went to see it himself.

There are faint traces of broken walls and ruins around, and it can be seen that this place should be a village before, but now the village is gone, and even a single brick and tile cannot be seen, and there is a deep and deep road ahead. The gap is so wide that it is shocking to watch.

Brother Dududan and Dan Honghong both looked excited, ran to the edge of the chasm, and shouted into the distance: "Brother!"

The cub shaking the mountain moved his ears in the distance, thinking why his brother came here, he had to go out to have a look, but the work in front of him kept stopping, so he waved at the craftsman, "It has been confirmed that there is no one in the dangerous area around, light the fire! "

Immediately, a craftsman took out a torch, lit the fuse in front of him, and immediately hid.

As the flames approached, a small mountain in the distance was immediately blown away, and a huge deep pit appeared. The Mountain Shaker cub hurried forward to take a look, nodded at the craftsmen, and held the umbrella in his hands. Rush in the direction of Brother Dan shouting.

The loud noise reached Brother Dan, and the little cub became even more excited, "It must have exploded the buns! It must have used a lot of explosives. If they were put into the shells, they might be able to blow open the stone gate."

"Yeah." Dan Honghong also nodded.

They still can't forget Shimen.

The little prince pursed his lips and did not speak, if Dan Honghong wanted to blow up the stone gate again, he would still help, but this time he would not let Dan Honghong do it, so as to save Yan Xun what to say when the time came, Dan Honghong would not convinced.

The three of them became excited, but the others were just the opposite. Many people thought it was the earth dragon turning over, some ran around indiscriminately, some knelt on the ground and muttered words, the originally loose team suddenly became a mess, and there were many men They ran around like headless chickens and ran into Qin Yi's side, and immediately a guard drew his sword.

"Forget it, get out and don't let them get close." Qin Yi frowned.

Before the situation is clear, he can't act rashly, but these people are really useless, it's just that the ground is shaking, the surrounding is very empty and there is no room, even if the earth dragon turns over, there will be no major problems, and they all panic. .

"Brother!" Brother Dan jumped onto a big rock and shouted into the distance.

After a while, the Shaking Mountain cub appeared, and he also jumped up and shouted: "Brother!"

It is a joy to meet both sides.

Brother Dan circled around the cub Shaking Mountain, "Brother, is this going to build an artificial canal?"

"En." Shaking Mountain Cub nodded, "It took so much effort to squeeze out these people, and everyone was digging almost non-stop. When the canal is opened, the boats will pass first, so that materials can be transported in more easily, and construction can be done faster. The farmland also needs to be irrigated with water, and it is too slow to drill wells, so everyone discussed building artificial canals."

"Excellent." Brother Dan gave a thumbs up.

After talking about the artificial canal, the cub who shook the mountain asked about the messy people not far away.

Dan Honghong leaned over and explained the matter.

"How can this be possible?" Shaking Mountain Cub frowned immediately, "Those fellows who can only eat, drink and not work are all laborers! Now that Qiyuan County is in short supply of laborers, it is also a good opportunity to make meritorious service. As long as you perform outstandingly , when the time comes, Lord Jia will definitely give you a free body, and there should be other rewards, why are they so hard to think about it?"

"It's not that they can't think about it, I'm afraid they think too clearly." The little prince said, "His Royal Highness is different after all. He is a king, and we are all ministers. Whoever follows will have a certain future. They are all very shrewd. .”

The Mountain Cub still disagreed.

To be a person is to be down-to-earth, to keep one eye on the ground, and to move forward step by step. If you just think about opportunism, you may be able to live a good life for a while, but if you want to live a good life for a long time, I am afraid it is impossible.

"They made a wrong step, wrong step." Shaking the mountain cub gently shook his head, "It's a pity that these laborers can't do much work in a day. By the way, your Highness the Crown Prince Shake your face?"

"No." Brother Dan hurriedly said.

Dan Honghong followed suit and nodded.

Only then did the Shaking Cub heaved a sigh of relief, "Your elder brother, I, as well as Sir, Master Jing, Lord Jia, and Lord Xie have passed the breath. This time His Royal Highness comes to Qiyuan County, no matter what his attitude is, we have to deal with it." Serve well, it is best to let His Royal Highness leave happily."

"It's a bit difficult." Although Brother Dan couldn't see Qin Yi's situation, he could still hear Qin Yi's angry voice. Obviously, the men who defected to him were useless now, and he regretted gathering so many people.

"It's a bit difficult, overcome it." Shaking Mountain cub picked up Dan Honghong and Dan's younger brother and put them in his arms, then patted the little prince on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Everyone will bear with it even if they are dissatisfied." Forbearance, we will live in Qiyuan County from now on, so let's make this place well, and don't affect anything just because of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Your Excellency said that it is not easy for His Highness the Crown Prince. Maybe he will change when he comes out to learn more. It is even more difficult for the Emperor. He has broken his heart for His Highness the Crown Prince. Letting the Crown Prince come down this time is for us to do things."

Not only must Qin Yi be coaxed well, but also to satisfy him, and there is a fifth prince behind him, who must also be handled beautifully.

When the Cub Shaking Mountain said this, Brother Dan immediately felt a little guilty, so he leaned into his ear and told him about the fact that he deliberately left the Dao soldiers and serving men, and then looked at the Cub Shaking Mountain very anxiously .

This brother is different from other brothers. He also has a father who is guarding the city. He likes to read military books the most on weekdays. His eyes are very sharp. Sometimes when Brother Dan gets into trouble, he would rather ask other brothers for help than dare to seek help. Rock Cub.But Shaanshan Cub is very good at grilling fish, every time when grilling fish, Brother Dan can smell the smell and find it.

"Well done." The Shaker cub affirmed, "The safety of the camp is the most important thing."

"But we still need to coax His Highness the Crown Prince." Seeing the attitude of the Shaking Mountain cub, Brother Dan immediately trembled, "Anyway, I don't want to please him, and I feel that it is difficult to communicate with him. He has many reasons. I don’t understand, and I have to make mistakes, if we are carried around, our conscience will suffer.”

Brother Dan insisted, this is also the principle of life he has learned all along.

"Even a gentleman can do something and not do something." Shaking the mountain cub said, "If you really don't take a step, let's take a step."

"That's right!" Brother Dan jumped off the Shaking Mountain cub, and walked forward with his little hands behind his back, "I don't want to do things against my conscience. Daddy said that a cub without a conscience is not a good cub, and that a cub without a conscience will not be a good cub in the future." I won't grow up to be a big monster! I still want to become a big monster in the future, with my father's prestige and prestige."

Dan Honghong rushed up from behind, and walked with Little Brother Dan behind his back, "We're fine with things without conscience, no matter who it is."

The four of them just strolled to Qin Yi's side.

Some of his subordinates had already informed Brother Dan about the news. Qin Yi could not help frowning when he saw the swaying Shashan cub. Xi and Zhantu cubs, these three cubs seem to have jumped out of the cracks in the rocks, and various evidences show that these three cubs seem to have something to do with Da Qin, Qin Yi always thinks that Yan Xun is really It's evil.

If it wasn't for Yan Xun's evil intentions, why didn't he announce the origins of these cubs?

At this time, the Shanshan cub of unknown origin swayed at him, showing no intention of kneeling down, but the others felt that they were used to it, which made Qin Yi almost vomit blood with anger.

"Who is going to tell Gu, what's the matter with the gap?" Qin Yi looked at Shashan Cub with a straight face.

"His Royal Highness." Shaking Mountain Cub cupped his hands again, "The gap is a recently planned canal, which will attract water in a short time. There is no big river in Qiyuan County, and farmland irrigation, transportation, etc. are extremely inconvenient. In the future, when various workshops are built, the output will not be easy to transport out. Just now, the movement was caused by a small mountain bag in front of it. The craftsman observed it and felt that the small mountain bag was not too big and could be exploded, so he moved his hands."

And before doing it, someone checked the surroundings and made sure that there was no one before doing it.

"Canal?" Qin Yi looked at Shashan Cub strangely. He thought of the incomparably wide river in the capital. That river could not be used to irrigate farmland at all, and there were no fish in the river. It is useless to separate the other side.

Seeing that the chasm is not as good as the big river in the capital, Qin Yi still has a very bad feeling in his heart.

He felt that Yan Xun was so courageous that he built an artificial canal without reporting it to the court. This simply did not take the court and the emperor seriously.He was trembling with anger, and pointed at the Shaker cub, "You, you are bold! Who gave you the courage to build the canal?"
