Chapter 217 Another Year Older
Not only is the Wild King sister good at playing games, she also eats a lot of takeout.
In addition to the ones that Chen Chunxing had tinkered with, she also experimented with spicy strips, instant noodles, egg yolk pastries and other inexpensive and high-quality snacks, and promoted them based in Honglu County.
Food is the most important thing for people, and the underworld army always keeps this in mind.
When Wei Da heard that there was a pasta that could be quickly prepared even during a march, he immediately ordered 3,000 pieces.
After it was delivered, it was increased to 10,000 on the same day.
Yang Shoubei was also busy. Mrs. Yang was the largest distributor in the narrow village. When she suddenly tasted the new pastries such as egg yolk pastries, she was amazed. She didn't even need Chen Chunxing to think of anything and immediately ordered a hundred boxes, saying that she would give them as New Year gifts to the officials' families.
Even if there was no letter from Liu Sanlang, it would be time for Honglu County to develop rapidly.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, nothing is lacking.
Although Yu Xin and the others are not proficient in other industries, as long as they are from modern times, they can offer some suggestions.
What is convenient for farming daily clothing...
What a high-standard check-in guide...
What about sidewalks, two-wheeled vehicles, three-wheeled vehicles, four-wheeled vehicles...
In short, we are working on improving wherever there is room for improvement.
They could not transform this barren land into a steel fortress overnight, but it was not difficult for them to promote the changes of the times with their enthusiasm.
Hard work will definitely leave a mark.
Of course, all these have to be realized one by one after the new year.
At this moment, the greedy little girl stole a piece of steamed meat and squinted her eyes happily.
He continued after he finished.
"As soon as there was a little rumor in the capital, a war broke out here. Prince Li, you are really bold."
He was afraid that others didn't know that he was in collusion with Nan Jin!
Whether it was the case of the seventh prince being kidnapped or the schemes planted in Honglu County, not only were the Prince Li's Mansion's tactics involved, but there was also the shadow of Southern Jin hidden behind them.
Ever since Xue Yongan sealed up Jichang Pharmacy, many cases of provoking disturbances have appeared in the county in an attempt to drag him into disputes.
The brothel murder shocked the whole city, but the real murderer was not caught yet, which greatly affected Xue Yongan's prestige among the people.
The reason is simple.
Because on that day, Liu Sanlang found a stack of letters and account books from under the bed.
There are many secrets recorded in it.
Prince Li's palace intended to trap Xue Yongan in this small place. After all, he was just a small county magistrate and had almost no chance to report to the capital.
But they never expected that Xue Yongan would have a relationship with the Liu family.
"If you are afraid to use the right weapon, you will lose your composure."
The boy brought the plate to the table and picked up a large piece of food with his chopsticks out of favoritism for the little girl.
The brothel murder revealed too much.
Sooner or later, the other party will take action again.
Nowadays, there are yamen runners patrolling the streets in the open, and in the dark, there are groups of ghosts watching around the clock. As long as there is a problem in Honglu County, it will be discovered at the first time.
Xue Yongan's subordinates arrived at the right time.
The fields can be planted later, but this conscienceless scourge must be eradicated first.
"By the way, when the first batch of herbs are grown, you can deliver them to Captain Wei. After all, he is still our loyal customer."
After Chu Mei came back, the Ge family father and daughter came to thank them. Ge Baoer was so excited that she almost knelt down. Now their whole family has moved into the narrow village.
At first.
Everyone was arranged to open up wasteland, and it was said that they would have to cultivate the land for three years before they could be freed from the criminal charges. Although they have entered the city now, they cannot forget their old job.
Xue Yongan waved his hand and moved the city wall outward.
Nowadays, everyone is learning to grow medicinal herbs from Chu Mei, which is also a new livelihood.
Once this crop of sweet potatoes is dug up and becomes widely available, I think within a year or two, food will no longer be a scarce commodity in the north.
If medicinal herbs could be used to offset taxes, the government would be happy to see it.
As for the Shen family, they were cleared of charges early on because of their contribution in rescuing the seventh prince.
Even so, Chen Chunxing found it difficult to identify with the royal family. Even after learning from the letter that Doctor Chang asserted that the old emperor would not survive more than three to five months, he still lacked interest and just looked at it.
The world is going to be in chaos. Let's stop doing business and start training our troops.
——
When you are busy, the days always pass quickly.
This New Year, Xue Yongan still stayed at the Shen family.
To him, the Xue Mansion was just a big, empty house.
Wherever she is, there he should be.
The more Diao looked at him, the more satisfied she became. Xue Yongan's position in the old lady's heart was second only to her precious granddaughter.
After midnight, firecrackers were set off, and the children were one year older.
Xue Yongan counted on his fingers and sighed.
His little girl is only fourteen, there is still a lot to wait!
This year is also a year of reunion.
Not only was the Shen family bustling with activity, but the entire city and even the nearby towns were filled with great joy.
Production drives economic trade, while consumption helps improve national happiness.
The narrow village wanted to expand its scale, and during this period hired a lot of people, both permanent and temporary workers, and the people benefited from it.
Not to mention, the new and novel things in the city attracted merchants from all over the place. Even if they couldn't find work in the narrow villages, as long as they had hands and feet and were willing to work hard, it was not difficult to find a job in the city.
In just a year and a half, the people living in the border areas, whose hearts were eroded by despair, finally saw hope after seeing the clouds cleared.
Not only did they actively participate in the city defense construction, they even rushed to join Yang Yi's militia squad.
This "soldier" is not that "soldier".
It's just to teach everyone how to deal with the enemy.
Before, no one would want to participate even if there was no money involved.
But now, they all have an inexplicable belief.
Never allow anyone to destroy your hard-earned happiness!
If the enemy really came to the gates of the city, even if they were unarmed, they would definitely rush forward with red eyes and bite them with their mouths to take a few of them down!
When there is no hope, you can go with the flow, but once you see the light, it is difficult to accept the loss.
——
The first day of the Lunar New Year is the time to pay New Year’s greetings.
No one in the Shen family could go out, and the neighborhood was blocked and unable to move.
They all came to wish Old Madam Shen a happy new year!
Now in Honglu County, even Xue Yongan’s reputation is probably not as good as Diao’s.
After all, she has a good granddaughter and a good grandson-in-law.
Who wouldn't want to curry favor and see if it could get them a good job?
Among these people, one third were civilians in the city, one third were from various military settlements, and the remaining one third were people from small villages who came to join in the fun.
They also want to get close to the Shen family!
Chen Chunxing was extremely annoyed and really didn't want to hear people asking:
"When are you getting married?"
"When will the baby be born?"
"When will we get my baby engaged? What do you think of my child..."
She rode Xue Yongan and fled back to the county government office.
The young man carried his beloved girl on his back and quietly slipped away from an empty corner. He was afraid of being discovered, but he was reluctant to walk too fast.
When the two of them arrived at the county government office, someone was already waiting inside.
"I wanted to wish the old lady a happy new year first, but I couldn't squeeze in with everyone else, so I had to send the gift to Master Xue."
Chu Mei's family was sitting in the main room, cracking the butter melon seeds that Bao'er brought out. When they saw the two of them walk in in a loving manner, they quickly showed an expression of "I understand, I understand".
