Seeing Zeng Shiqi's appearance, Xu Mingxu knew that he had misunderstood.How can a child from an ordinary, honest family be a match for his own mouse spirit?He patted Tu Hao's leg under the table and reminded him in a low voice, "Speak well."

Tu Hao could only straighten his face and say, "I'll find a steward to go to the county government to discuss it later. If these people are willing, they can come to my side to control the water. It's just that the work is hard, and the treatment is definitely not as good as that of Jing county. The benefits It can be distributed nearby, so that they can have enough food." By the way, they can save enough travel expenses to return home, if they have the intention.

Since most of the blind streams came from nearby places, they should roughly come from both sides of the Rao River, all of which are his territory.The nearest allocation is trivial.

As a big contractor, he is short of people, he can feed tens of thousands of people.As for how lazy those people are, he is not afraid.

In fact, just look at the coolies on the side of the warehouse.If those people can really bear hardships and want to make money and work, it is no problem to be a coolie.It's just that those people are afraid that they want to do the work of waiting for the money to fall easily, which is definitely unrealistic.

As for these people who entered the construction site and wanted to not work, they thought they were in collusion with the officers and soldiers... Bah, is it fake that the joint management of the officers and soldiers?There are more than 1 barbarians in his flood control team. What are some rogues?Not to mention that these people are not even rogues.

Tu Hao kept his word, but there was too little time, so he immediately wrote a letter in the snack shop and asked Zeng Shiqi, who volunteered, to take it to the steward in charge of the corresponding matter.

Because there are many members of the Xu clan to be arranged, this trip is a rented passenger ship.The dude will never wrong himself at any time, and he is extremely well prepared for travel.

Even if they agreed in front of the elders, they knew in their hearts that this was a hard job, at least this trip was not a trip to the mountains and rivers.

When the agreed ship docked, the agreed coolies helped to move the boxes of items onto the ship.Playboys are very confident, and they can't suffer anywhere.

Tu Hao and Xu Mingxu knew what they were thinking, and they didn't expose it.Tu Hao even brought two cooks with him last year, and he was still as thin as a handful of ribs. Even though he raised nearly ten catties of meat during the Chinese New Year, he still looked thin.

Xu Hongxuan didn't mean to make up for the father-son relationship with the two, but he was always closer to them than others, and seeing that their luggage was less than half of his own, he immediately raised his brows: "You guys just need such things? "

Xu Mingxu was too lazy to explain that he couldn't pay attention to many things when he was away from home, so he just responded indifferently: "Yes."

Tu Hao explained with crooked eyebrows: "Anyway, if there is anything missing, someone can send it to you." For this year's itinerary, he will often follow the boat. Things that are not easy to carry are too troublesome.

Well, the dudes of the Xu family should bring as many things as possible, after all, they may have to stay in one place for a year or two.hey~

Xu Hongxuan made sense after thinking about it, so he stood on the bow of the boat and continued to pose. After blowing for a while, it was probably too cold before returning to his cabin.

Xu Mingxu wasn't afraid of the cold, but he didn't have the heart to stand beside Xu Hongxuan at all. He took root in his cabin not long after boarding the boat, and even held Tu Hao in his arms so that he wouldn't let him move.

This kind of weather was still very cold for Tu Hao, and it was very comfortable to lie in his warm embrace.The cabin is always damp, and the rising incense gradually replaces the moisture.He quickly yawned. Looking at the elongated stinky face of his big beauty, he obviously didn't have the best professionalism, so he could only cheer up and find a topic to chat: "What do you think they brought?"

How long has this been moving?The ship hasn't sailed yet.

Xu Mingxu snorted coldly: "Isn't it just those things? Musical instruments, chess, various study rooms, some calligraphy and paintings, some flower decorations, seasonal utensils and so on."

The butchers also have these particularities.But when you are away from home, most of the time, even the clothes are just cleaned, and it is rare to wash them, let alone incense.Others are less particular.

Thinking of some of the places he visited last year, he couldn't help showing a smirk, gloating childishly, "I see how much they care about when they get to the land." It's not that servants who bring enough tools and services can be anywhere. You can live a comfortable life.

The two chatted for a while.Tu Hao's spirit also came back, and he asked Xiao Xin to put out the official documents to be processed.

Although he rested until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the main time for water control was the dry season in winter.If he hadn't been too tired from rushing to work last year, he wouldn't have taken annual leave this winter.

However, if this is the case, according to the work intensity of the hard workers, I am afraid that after this year, people will be killed on the construction site.

In addition, the land in most areas was frozen in winter, which was not suitable for starting work, so he simply put most of the people on vacation.The rest of the people who didn't have a holiday also did some work like on duty.A small number of places where the climate is relatively warm and can be started have also adopted the measure of taking turns, and military doctors are strictly watching to prevent some consequences that he does not want to see.

Also because the construction site was not completely shut down, Tu Hao actually had some work to deal with during the holidays. In addition to the construction site's budget and material preparations this year, corvee arrangements, etc., he needed to argue with various departments.He had to do most of these things himself.

For a New Year's Eve, he just eats and lives at home, and the conditions are better than those on the construction site.

It has been nearly two years since the water was controlled, and no one was killed on the entire construction site-this kind of achievement is not easy to say, but it is truly appalling in the eyes of discerning people.

Throughout the ages, which major project did not cause countless casualties, causing the common people to complain?

Even if those projects have various considerations and great significance, the destructive power to the social production at that time is almost irreversible.

As for water control, as long as it is done, it will definitely be famous in history.But what is left behind is a good reputation or a long-lasting infamy. According to the lessons of history, it is mostly the latter.So even if many civil and military officials in the court knew the various benefits of Rao water management, and they had carried out some mild maintenance year after year, no one had competed with Tu Hao for such a "fat vacancy".

Did Uncle Zhang and Grandpa Ye really not want to control the water before Tu Hao proposed it?

No, what they want is not only to control the Rao water, but also to control the smooth water, and the canals they want to dig are not just that.At first they didn't have money, so they didn't dare to think about it.Now they have a little money, but if Tu Hao hadn't proposed this matter, and Tu Hao hadn't implemented it, they wouldn't have dared to put it into practice.

If one is bad, it will shake the foundation of the country.

This is not a joke.

The management of Rao Water is far from over, but everyone who paid attention to this matter breathed a sigh of relief.

Life on board is boring.After all, they are not playing, but serious inspections and hurrying.

In the first few days, the children of the Xu family would make various concave shapes on the deck, and they would play the piano and sing when the mood came, which was quite lively.After waiting for three to five days, all of them turned into saw-mouthed gourds, and some of them didn't even go out of the cabins at all, and only let the servant girls come out to get their daily necessities.

After ten days of the voyage, the scene of the two sides of the strait being either prosperous or full of fields and mulberry trees no longer exists.As far as the eye can see, it is all a scene of barren mountains and wild mountains.

So far, none of the descendants of the Xu family on board has been let go.

It's a little square to catch your feet!

Hurry to be sold!

Someone dared to ask Xu Hongxuan.

The sky was dim, and the passenger ship docked at a desolate ferry.The mountains, forests and fields in the distance are dark, only the strange sound of the wind blowing, and the strange calls of unknown birds and beasts.

The boatmen and servants walked back and forth on the boat, and there were also those who were bold enough to go directly to the ferry.

Xu Hongxuan no longer wore spring shirts, but wore a big cloak and a pair of soft lambskin gloves on his hands. He sat on the bow of the boat fishing leisurely, without raising his eyelids: "If you don't get off the boat, naturally there is no place. "

Alas, there is not even a single beauty in this poor place.Speaking of which, taking a boat is too inconvenient.He brought two beautiful maidservants with him, but he became seasick not long after boarding the boat, his small face turned pale, and he was so thin that he was going to lose shape after a few days.Counting on them to serve others, they don't even know who is serving whom.He felt a little regretful, if he had known this, he might as well have brought two more strong and winking servants.

The dude who asked the question looked at the sky that had darkened in the blink of an eye, and felt that a gust of wind would be tainted with yin, and his voice was trembling: "There is no one in this place yet, still, not yet. Where are you going?" This is still a ferry, there is not even a tea shed, can it be more desolate?Will there be no private cigarettes in the place they are going to?

Should he bring less clothes and more rice?

"Go and ask your tenth brother or Hao brother?" Xu Hongxuan put away the fishing rod and found nothing everyday, "It's all because of you that I didn't catch a single fish."

No one can shake Xu Hongxuan's position in the Xu family.Not to mention the nephews and nephews in the family, even the elders, he dared to confront them face to face.

The tenth brother he mentioned was naturally Xu Mingxu.Xu Mingxu is seven in his own family and ten in the clan.

Seeing Xu Hongxuan walking back to the cabin slowly, the dandy didn't dare to follow up with him, and stood on the deck sullenly.If he dared to ask those two people, why not come over and ask him?

A boatman hung a dead wind lamp on the boat, stood on the side of the boat and shouted: "Everyone on the shore is on board!"

In the darkness, some people responded one after another.Skilled boatmen didn't need a springboard at all, just grabbed the long rope hanging from the boat, and climbed onto the boat in two or three strokes like monkeys.

When Dandan looked over boredly, he saw a person who seemed to be carrying someone behind his back, his movements were different from those of the boatmen, like a gust of breeze, pulling up the rope was just a slight swing, and somehow he got on the boat steadily. After taking a closer look, he realized that it was his tenth brother and Hao brother!

Tu Hao stayed in the cabin for a day, and took advantage of the time when he was docking, he went for a walk on the shore with Xu Mingxu, exercising his muscles.

When they came up, they saw the dude standing on the deck pretending to be a scarecrow, and they couldn't help asking, "Sixteenth brother, why are you still standing on the deck? Ye Fengliang, come in quickly."

Xu Shiliu turned his head and saw Xu Mingxu had just put Tu Hao on the deck. He envied Xu Mingxu's nimble skills in his heart, and replied cautiously: "Come up to get some air, and then we'll go in. Dinner should be ready, right?"

After dinner, Xu Shiliu returned to his small cabin, threw his head on the bed, and sighed, "Why didn't you ask such a simple question?"

Today, I no longer tremble when speaking in front of Brother Ten and Brother Hao, maybe I can ask directly tomorrow.

better!

Turning his head half a circle, he said excitedly, "If I have the skills of Brother Ten..." I can play for a lifetime!

His servant stood at the door and said, "Didn't your lord say that practicing martial arts is not elegant?" There was also a decorative "treasure sword" in the box—it obviously cost a lot of money and hired famous masters to make it, but it never came out. Sheath off.The only thing that pleases the owner is the scabbard studded with precious stones and the handle decorated with beautiful tassels.

Xu Shiliu held his breath, turned his head on the narrow bed, and turned back after a while, with a bitter expression on his face: "Qingfeng, when I'm put on the boat to feed the wolves, you must protect me well!"

The author has something to say:

Little Mouse (｀?ω??): She doesn't have the professional ethics of a wealthy young lady at all!

Big Sun (??ω?｀): I am obviously very dedicated.

Little Mouse (｀?ω??): Where are you dedicated?

Big Sun (///ω///): Serving the young master on the bed every day so that he is comfortable♂

(Finish)

The queen mother withheld my rations and only gave me half a bowl of rice, because the rest had to be fed to the cats.They don't even fuck me, not my brother! (╬￣dish￣)
