The system wants my local master gl

It took nine months to build the [-]-foot seawall, and the later maintenance took more than three months. During this period, typhoons and waves also attacked, but the seawalls that were built before summer and autumn did not have a single one. Exceptionally blocking the waves for the coast, this made all the rich and powerful households who bought fields here see hope, and it also made Fan Zhizhou very happy.

On the day when the seawall was built, people from Mingzhou came to watch it one after another. They found that even though the tide was high, the seawater still hadn’t flooded this side, which was different from the seawall built by the “tail tail” method in the past.

Some people climbed to the top of the seawall and looked at the surging waves by the pond, but they still couldn't shake the seawall for half an inch, and a sense of pride and ambition arose spontaneously. They shouted to the people below: "The waves really can't come up!" , Mingzhou will not be afraid of strong winds and waves in the future!"

The people from the government quickly went up to drive them off: "It's dangerous up here, what if it falls into the sea and is swept away by the waves?"

Those people went down resentfully, but after returning, they danced and described the scenery and mood they saw standing on the seawall to the neighbors, attracting more people to watch the seawall.

After the seawall was repaired, the rich and powerful households also began to dig rivers and canals to irrigate the saline-alkali land. As long as it is nourished for a year or so, I believe this place can also become a good farmland!

The powerful and wealthy households were unable to farm by themselves, so they leased out these lands to tenant farmers.In view of the fact that this land could not grow high-yield grain in the early stage, they set a very low tax for the first three years, and then began to collect the general tax in the next few years, which also attracted some landless people to go there. Tenant.

Gradually, the once desolate land gradually became full of vitality and popularity, and without the damage of the tide, here is a thriving scene.

Fan Zhizhou wrote to the imperial court, just as the imperial court wanted to send the supervisory censor down to inspect various places, so he asked the supervisory censor to come to the seawall to check the results.

After the supervisory censor went back, he said to the officials: "I have inspected the newly built seawall in Mingzhou. Under the bonding of cement, the stones are very firm. It was destroyed. Song Dujian said that it can be preserved for five years, so it is not a lie."

The officials were very satisfied after hearing this, so they made up their minds to let people mass-produce cement. As for Fang Zi, he was not a scoundrel, and he would not ignore what Song Yuyan had figured out, so he rewarded Song Yuyan with 50 yuan in the name of updating the technology. Ten thousand dollars, and then moved all the cement manufacturing methods to Jiangzuojian, and let the craftsmen of Jiangzuojian burn cement according to requirements.

Song Yuyan not only received a reward, but also gained a reputation. People in Mingzhou and the surrounding prefectures no longer knew her name because of bamboo carvings.And speaking of her, it was also full of praise.

There are also some people because she is the governor of weirs and gates, and the skills of flood control and seawall repair can be passed down. If she accepts disciples, won't she be able to inherit her mantle in the future?

Driven by this kind of interest, there are countless people who come to ask her to take their children as apprentices every day.

Although Song Yuyan had helped her mentor in class, she was really powerless in taking students as apprentices.In the end, she had no choice but to submit her resignation to the imperial court as soon as possible—she was imprisoned as the prison guard, and even if they took their children as apprentices, they would not be able to inherit her mantle in the future.

However, the imperial court directly rejected her resignation, and said that she submitted her resignation so quickly, could it be that she was cutting corners on the seawall, or that she was not confident in her project and was afraid of being implicated in an accident?

Song Yuyan's original intention was naturally not like this, so she fought hard again, and the official replied directly: "If there is no serious problem in the sea pond within five years, you will be allowed to resign."

The officials have spoken, if Song Yuyan still resigns, then he really doesn't know what is good and what is wrong.In addition, the government also allowed her to only need to maintain the seawall and not assign any heavy tasks to her, so she didn't have to worry about being transferred to other places to supervise the repair of the seawall.

As for the matter of accepting apprentices, she really had no idea.Seeing her firm attitude, those people would rather resign than accept apprentices, so they gradually faded away.

"Phew, it's finally clean."

After fewer people begged her to accept apprentices, the small courtyard of the Song family was finally quieter.

Bing'er also breathed a sigh of relief: "Isn't it? They come all day, making me so noisy that I can't draw with peace of mind!"

Song Yuyan squinted at her: "It seems that your painting skills have improved in the past year. Let me appreciate your masterpiece?"

Binger hurriedly showed her her paintings, and Song Yuyan found that she had indeed improved a lot, but the ink used in some places was still not even enough, so she pointed them out one by one.

Finally she said: "You are only 14 years old, you are still very young, and you still have a lot of time to continue to improve your painting skills, keep it up."

Binger filtered out Song Yuyan's criticism, and after hearing the compliment, he was immediately delighted, so he took this painting to Tang Ye for praise.

The room became quiet again, Tang Zhi discussed with Song Yuyan: "You see, you always have friends coming to visit, and others come to ask you for help, and this house is not clean every day."

Song Yuyan nodded: "After all, it's a bit small here, and the sound insulation is not good."

"The family's income has also increased over the years. We can move to another house. What does Ah Yao think?"

Song Yuyan said happily: "I have long wanted to change to a house with a big yard, but I was worried that you would not allow it. Since my wife also has this idea, why don't we go and see where there is a suitable house? Or should I say, Shall we build a house like this?"

Tang Zhi said: "I asked Uncle Lin to find a few houses for sale, one is in Zhuangyuanfang, the third-entry house costs 40 yuan; the other is in Chongxiaofang, the second-entry house only costs 20 yuan ; There is another one in the suburbs, which is also a three-entry, but because it has been in disrepair for a long time, it only costs 30 yuan..."

"I'll take a look with you some other day. If you're satisfied, we'll make a decision. It doesn't matter if it's in disrepair or not. It can just be refurbished."

After Song Yuyan finished speaking, his eyes rolled: "My lady, I have worked hard for you for more than a year."

Tang Zhi chuckled: "What's the hard work, isn't it you who worked the hardest? Look at how dark you are!"

Song Yuyan shook her head: "No, no, it's more difficult for a lady, after all, she spends most of her time alone in an empty room."

Tang Zhi: "..."

She looked at Song Yuyan with a half-smile: "So, Ah Yao is gone? Could it be that you have someone to accompany you when I'm not around?"

"Of course not! But my lady doesn't think, do you need me very much?"

Song Yuyan took her hand, kissed her mouth, and said with a smile, "Look, lady, your little mouth is saying, 'Long time no see, I miss you so much'. You are so brightly seducing me!"

This person is usually outside, or he is beautiful, or he looks like a little old man, but only in the boudoir, he will be so menglang.Only she could see this side, and her heart became agitated again, wanting to drag Song Yuyan to talk about the old days.

Tang Zhi's saying that she wanted to buy a house was not empty talk, she was a man of action, and not long after, she and Song Yuyan found time to visit the house.

Although Lin Yongming is a middleman, none of the houses he recommends are sold through a dental office, because the mansions sold by a dental office are bound to be much more expensive.He and Song Yuyan were old friends, so naturally they wouldn't cheat on her, so he took them to see the house himself.

After walking down several places, Song Yuyan finally settled on the three-entry house in the suburbs.There is no major problem with this house, and it is not a place where snakes, rats and ants like to build their nests. The reason why it is sold so cheaply is because it is an old house. Every time it rains, rainwater leaks, and some pillars are eaten away by insects. up.

Tang Zhi also negotiated the price with the owner of the house: "It's not a problem of disrepair anymore, but a dilapidated house, right? We bought it and had to spend 10,000+ to repair it, which is not worthwhile."

Lin Yongming was also helping to speak.The owner of the house was quite pressured by her bargaining, and finally sold it to them for 26 yuan.

Song Yuyan also gave Lin Yongming [-] yuan as a thank you gift for his help. Lin Yongming felt that he didn't help much, so he was embarrassed to accept so much, and finally only accepted half of it.

Song Yuyan sent Lin Yongming away, and then said to Tang Zhi: "Why didn't I know that a lady can bargain so hard?"

Tang Zhi said: "Other people haggle with me a lot. I can prevent those who buy vegetables from haggling with me. Naturally, I can learn their haggling methods."

She added, "The remaining [-] yuan can be used to buy a carriage."

Song Yuyan's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Then when I design this house, I will provide a place for raising horses!"

Song Yuyan didn't intend to just renovate the house. She definitely had to re-plan some areas. For example, there were too many rooms and the courtyard in the middle was too large. It was not a waste to use them effectively.

After she figured out the blueprints, she bought a lot of cement and bricks, and then started to renovate the house.

The traditional eaves are prone to leaks, so she asked people to seal the gaps with cement at each brick and tile.As for the ground, she did not use blue bricks or marble, but directly laid a layer of cement mortar.The outer courtyard wall is made of stone blocks.

The carpenters who helped her build the house had a temper, and they never liked being told what to do.However, thinking that this person is Song Yuyan, she designed the seawall, and she also has her own views on civil engineering—that is to say, she is completely an expert, and the carpenters can't stand her, so they can only honestly repair according to her design House.

But after they finished the repairs, they found that the mansion designed by Song Yuyan was really beautiful and generous, with the elegance and purity of a literati and poet, and the grandeur and spaciousness that could match the three-entry mansion.In Song Yuyan's words, it is "high-end atmosphere with high grade, low-key luxury with connotation".

This mansion has also been renovated for a long time, and during this period, Song Yuyan's family still lived in the small courtyard in the county seat.Song Yuyan had to run to the seawall occasionally. At the beginning of the year, the imperial court set up a command of soldiers defending the pond, that is, dispatched a hundred soldiers to patrol the seawall, and was responsible for daily maintenance and maintenance of the seawall. I went to watch over there, and it is enough to go on a tour for ten days and a half months.

Of course, this does not mean that she is free, because in addition to supervising the repair of seawalls, she is also responsible for the repair of weirs and canals in Mingzhou.

Apart from seawalls, there are no large-scale water conservancy projects in Mingzhou, but the government still allocated more than 100 people to her. What she has to do is to direct and supervise these 100 people to repair the canals, and study new ones by the way. Farmland water conservancy irrigation projects.

In the summer and autumn of the tenth year of the Ming Dynasty, disasters in Mingzhou were significantly less than in previous years, and the losses suffered by the people were also much less.Let's say that the seawall once again withstood the attack of the wave, making the surrounding people feel uneasy and completely settled down.

And it was also in August of this year that Song Yuyan and Tang Zhi's newly purchased mansion was also renovated. She distributed invitations to relatives and friends in a low-key manner, inviting them to attend the entrance banquet of the new mansion.

She also has a high reputation among relatives and friends, so she is very popular, and nine out of ten people who wrote back to her said they would arrive on time.

Sun'er came back from Jinchuan Township and asked Song Yuyan hesitantly, "Brother, can I invite friends?"

What he said was actually a kind of temptation. Song Yuyan bought the mansion now, but it wasn't his after all, and he wasn't sure if he still had his own place there.

Song Yuyan knew what he was thinking, so he just smiled and said, "Of course, but before you invite your friends over, let's take a look at your new home."

"New home." Sun'er thought these words in his heart, a warm current passed through his heart, and he raised a bright smile, "Okay!"
