Chapter 39 Open the gate to release water

Under the gray sky, the people wielding hoes were sweating profusely.The palm-shaped flying robots fell down with baskets, and Wei Zhou took people to pick them up.

The sharp black claws of the robot were released, and the transparent wings on its back fluttered, only afterimages could be seen.

"Dinner's ready," shouted the foreman.

The common people stopped working, wiped off their sweat, put down their hoes and gathered in the open space to sit casually.

The robot completes the task and flies farther and farther.

The people chatted as they took food out of their baskets.Take a break from your busy schedule, don't have fun.

"When I saw that thing for the first time, I was shocked. I thought it was some kind of monster."

"Who says it's not. The big black palm has a pair of wings, and it's creepy to look at."

"Chicken buns. After working so hard, I can finally see something meaty. Two of them are not enough for one person."

"Be content. Now we can eat hot food. Think about the past. Let alone hot food, there is nothing to eat."

"Who says it's not. Are we almost digging to the boundary of Haocheng? Can we communicate with each other?"

"I asked the foreman, and he said it will take a few days. Don't think that you can rest after digging the river, and build a stone bridge."

"Technical work is done by specialized people, and we are only responsible for physical work. It's also our own fault. Look at how comfortable Tie Niu is. Go to the yamen every day to sit and try cases. Not to mention how comfortable it is. Hey, Is his wife pregnant?"

"I heard that I was pregnant some time ago. How wonderful. Wife and children cover the bed. Who doesn't want a wife."

"Quiet, everyone is quiet. The higher-ups are here to inspect." The foreman rushed over and shouted, repeatedly reminding them not to talk nonsense.

A group of people came from a distance, and the woman at the front was breathtakingly beautiful.No one dared to look up, the city lord actually came in person?

Zhu Qinghong looked at the excavation of the river: "After the river is connected, the stone bridge is going to be built. How is the material delivery?"

"It's going well. We will arrive in two days." Su Rui took out the blueprint of the stone bridge, "This place is close to the pavilion where the storage is placed, and a bridge will be built. The surrounding construction will follow the original plan, including tea stalls, inns and restaurants for rest. Shops people are being screened."

It is half a day's journey from Haocheng.

It is more convenient for businessmen to come and go after the construction is completed, and one thing can be planted after there are people.

There is a lot of cultivated land around Tianchong City, just arrange private houses in twos and threes to take care of them.The cultivated land in Haocheng is gathered in one place, and there is a lot of room for construction in other places.

Zhu Qinghong walked to the pavilion where the storage was placed, and the surroundings were bare, making him feel desolate.

"Xiao Ye, in this kind of bamboo forest." She smiled, as if she could already see the rustling of bamboo leaves in the wind.

The four-corner pavilion looms in the luxuriant bamboo forest, which is as beautiful as a picture scroll.

[Okay, master.Determine the planting area, category...]

"City Lord, you don't need to watch over here yourself." Wei Wan smiled and asked, "It's better to go back to the city first. The mansion has prepared wine and food."

Zhu Qinghong nodded and set off back to Hao City.The moment she turned around, a ball flew out and landed beside the pavilion.

The people who saw it looked at it curiously, what is it?
The ball split open suddenly, grew more than one meter high, and stretched out its limbs to dig the soil.

The beetle-shaped machine dug the soil very quickly, digging out a large area behind the pavilion.

Then it spit out bundles of bamboo seedlings, obviously with sharp legs, but carefully planted them.Cover soil and water in one go.After planting, it is full of greenery.

Still holding half-eaten buns in their hands, the common people swallowed their saliva.Hurry up and take a bite to calm your shock, don't think too much.

After completing the task, the machine retracts into a ball, ejects into the air and disappears.Everyone is speechless, with this thing, they won't be unemployed, right?
no!Absolutely not!
Everyone quickly finished their food and picked up their hoes to dig hard.No one can try to steal their jobs!
Haocheng, the city lord's mansion.

Soldiers present ready-made new weapons, arrows, knives, swords, etc.

Zhu Qinghong picked them up one by one to observe.The craftsmanship of the craftsmen is getting more and more sophisticated, and the output is also considerable.

"City Master, how are you?" Wei Bojun looked proud, "This batch of weapons has been finished in a hurry, and I will send them to you immediately."

"Very good." Zhu Qinghong smiled gratifiedly, "I'm very relieved to entrust the production of weapons to you."

Compared with Tianchong City and Lingxi Kingdom, Hao City has the strongest military power.It is not only reflected in the weapons, but the strength and coordination ability of the soldiers themselves are also second to none.

Knowing people and making good use of them, she will not let excellent soldiers be buried.Strengthening training will be of great use in the future.

"The commanders under you are quite strong." Zhu Qinghong sat back in the main seat and smiled, "It's just a matter of calling for dinner."

"Yes." Wei Bojun sent an order immediately.There are four commanders in the city of Hao, who are stationed at the four gates of the city.

"My minister joins the city lord." The leaders knelt on one knee and saluted.Their surnames are Wen, Wu, Luo and Wu respectively.

When he first arrived in Haocheng, what Zhu Qinghong saw on the city wall was Commander Luo.

She smiled and raised her hand: "Get up. Sit down."

Everyone sat down and passed the dishes.

Su Rui glanced at Zhu Qinghong, wondering why he suddenly saw several commanders, and seemed to be planning something.

Now it is at the peak of construction, monsters are retreating, and there are no foreign enemies.It is said that we shouldn't meet at this time. Is there a war?
After Zhu Qinghong finished his meal, he and Su Rui went to Lingxi Country.After finishing the matter, Su Rui stayed.

Zhu Qinghong returned to Tianchong City to pass on Fang You'an.

Fang Youan didn't know why when he was summoned.

Why is the city lord looking for him?He has passed the assessment by the judicial office, so he should be fine, right?

"Are you twelve this year? What are your plans for the future?" Zhu Qinghong asked casually.

As if the answer didn't matter.

"Be loyal to your duty." Fang You'an broke into a cold sweat.

Has he done anything wrong recently?
Think about it carefully, probably not.

Shaking his head helplessly, Zhu Qinghong took a sip of tea: "Wei Xuanyu is in Tianchong City recently, you should get in touch with him more often."

ah?Fang An was taken aback.

Is contact due to official business counted as contact?The city lord is dissatisfied, does he want to contact him in private?Why?
"If you can't figure it out, it's better to ask Yuanyou." Zhu Qinghong waved his hands away, "Or ask Wei Xuanyu directly."

This... Fang Youan saluted and retreated.

Compared with Wei Xuanyu, whom he is not familiar with, he prefers to find Yuanyou.What is going on?

Yuanyou happened to go down to the Yamen, ready to go home.Meeting Fang Youan came to look for him, and invited them to talk at home together.

On the stone table in the courtyard, Yuanyou poured two cups of tea: "Please. The city lord has his own intentions. You just do it."

Fang You'an didn't like drinking tea, so he took a sip and put it down: "The city lord asked me to ask you. But you played charades with me."

"You are too simple." Yuan You looked at the erratic tea in the cup, "If you say who the city lord trusts the most, it is nothing more than you and Su Rui. However, compared to Su Rui, you are not comparable in scheming, means, and power. If not They are evenly matched in strength, you can't catch her eyes at all."

"I know." Fang Youan frowned, "I am loyal to the city lord. Just do things well and don't care about other things."

"No, you have to care." Yuan You sighed, and said in detail, "Since you and Su Rui are the right and left hands of the city lord, how can you be suppressed by her? The city lord let you contact Wei Xuanyu to let you gather Haocheng into his command ... so that you and Su Rui can check and balance each other."

Fang You'an seemed to understand but didn't understand, and didn't understand why they had to check and balance each other.Everyone is doing things for the city lord, can't we just do it well?
"The intention of the city lord is to determine the distribution of power." Yuan You picked up the teapot and placed it in the middle of the stone table, and placed two cups below, "The city lord is the king, and you and Su Rui belong to two forces. Su Rui has Ling Xiguo, you must take down Haocheng."

"I don't think it's right." Fang Youan shook his head, "Since the city lord intends to implement power, how could he not consider you."

He paused, but Yuanyou smiled and said nothing.

The city owner has his own considerations.When the forces of Su Rui and Fang Youan reach a balance, the city lord can ascend the throne.The city lord saw farther than any of them, calculated step by step, and moved forward steadily.

He could guess the intention of the city lord, and so could Wei Xuanyu.That's why the city lord asked Fang You'an to ask.

Wei Xuanyu is a smart person, so he naturally knows how to do it.Yuanyou got up: "The city lord ordered you to find Wei Xuanyu, you just do it. I have something to do, so I won't send it away."

Seeing Yuanyou turned back to the room, Fang Youan frowned in confusion.Well said, why did you suddenly drive people away?

Haven't explained yet.

Yuanyou sighed softly.With the help of Wei Xuanyu, Fang You'an is sure to grow rapidly and compete with Su Rui.

Imperial power.No matter how close they are, no one family will dominate.He seemed to see the blueprint of the city lord's assumption of power.

They are all the pawns of the city lord.

Yuan You opened the book on the case, keep it if it is useful, and discard it if it is not useful.Without exception.

Fang Youan obediently went to find Wei Xuanyu.When the other party heard about his intentions, he was indeed much more cordial.Afterwards, when Wei Xuanyu came to Tianchong City, Fang Youan received them all.

Yuanyou is busy with business every day, reading at night, and doesn't care about the follow-up development.Everything is under the control of the city lord.

Half a year later, the excavation of the river channel and the construction of the stone bridge were completed.On the day when the water was released, many people came to watch it.

Everyone's faces were filled with joy, eagerly looking forward to it.Zhu Qinghong gave an order, and many people dug up the soil at the mouth of the river.

"Open the sluice and let the water out!" With a loud shout, the water flowed into the river.Many people are excited to chase the river, watching the water flow with the river.

They laughed and yelled until they were exhausted.The water rushed to Tianchong City, and the river bank was crowded with people.

There are also people standing on the bridge.

Watching the water come and go.

They cheered and even wept with joy.The river flows through the cultivated land and flows to Haocheng.

The people who are building on the bank can't help but stop and look at the river from far to near.Countless days of hard work finally came to fruition.

The water splashed against the river bank, and the dry soil was wet.Never thirsty again, no matter the land or the crops.

The river rushes from the city of Hao to the country of Lingxi, one part is divided into two, and the two become one again.Su Rui stood on the city wall, watching the water flowing in the river.

It took nearly a year before and after, and finally got what I wanted.The water flows through Lingxi country and merges into the flowing water along the river.

Everyone is happy and memorable.

Zhu Qinghong designated this day as a festival, which is celebrated every year, and all people are happy.

The main channel was successfully completed.Zhu Qinghong also ordered people to dig a tributary to divert water into the fields.With water in the fields that have been raised for a long time, rice planting is on the agenda.

Everyone eats rice, three meals a day, to get rid of hunger.Only when we have enough food can we have the strength to develop the economy.

The water problem was solved, and a big stone fell in Wei Xuanyu's heart.Wei Wan asked Zhu Qinghong for a position, and Wei Bojun governed Haocheng.

He knew exactly what to do next.Power struggles for the greater good before the dust settles.
