Ma'am, is there someone out there?

Water conservancy repair works are carried out in an orderly manner.

The ancients also used their wisdom to dig tunnels, such as the method of "burning fire and stimulating water". Li Bing used this method when he presided over the construction of Dujiangyan. Modern people see it as the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction. Li Chengming also used this method. .

Although the time is really tight, Li Chengming doesn't seem to be in a hurry, as calm and calm as ever.

"As long as the people in Qingzhou work together, it will not be difficult to accomplish this." Li Chengming said so, and Du Zhong was not in a hurry.Anyway, he has a specialization in the art industry, and he doesn't understand these things, so he gives full authority to Li Chengming.

Years ago, we had to rush to work for a period of time, and when the New Year's Eve came, no matter what, we had to let these workers rest, and then resumed work after the Lantern Festival. Fortunately, there was less rain in Qingzhou in early spring, and we gained more time.

Qingzhou may be rainy next year, but not in other areas.Shen Qing was worried before, what should he do if he encounters severe drought.

The ancients ate five grains, millet, beans, hemp, wheat, and rice.However, due to the low productivity at that time, the output was not large, and most people also ate coarse grains such as yellow rice and sorghum noodles.

In good years, there is still the scene of "there is no idle land in the world, and the farmers still starve to death", not to mention in bad years, it is good to eat yellow rice, and it is inevitable to eat bran and swallow vegetables.

But corn is a very high-yielding crop. After it was introduced into our country, it was planted in large quantities in the north. However, there is no corn in the Chen Dynasty now. Shen Qing hopes to spread it.

Regardless of whether there is a drought in the second year or not, corn is a good high-yield coarse grain staple food, which can be made into noodles, steamed buns, etc., to keep you full and fight hunger.Moreover, drought tolerance and high yield were exactly what Shen Qing needed.Shen Qing sent people to buy farmland in the northern prefectures and counties, and hired very experienced old farmers to test and breed the seeds, so that they can be planted next spring.

There are so many chores that fill up the time.In the blink of an eye, the bandages on Xuan Shen's hands had been removed long ago, and this day was approaching the end of the new year.

On this day, Liu Shaoyang, the eldest son of Marquis Wen'an, begged Mrs. Hou behind Marquis Wen'an's back, released the door lock, and sneaked out the door that night, enjoying himself happily.

"Master, please wait." The servant couldn't stop him, and ran after Liu Shaoyang all the way, but he disappeared in a blink of an eye.The servant spread his hands, this is bad.

So where did Liu Shaoyang go after he got rid of his servant?

Liu Shaoyang has been suffering a lot this month. His father didn't know what wrong he had committed, so he really shut him up in one courtyard and thought about his mistakes. Even Yingying and Yanyan in his backyard were all sent to another courtyard, let alone going out of the house. , Even in this courtyard, there is no chance to go out.So that he can't sleep alone every night, and he doesn't know what to eat.Today, when his father was not at home, Liu Shaoyang had the courage to beg his mother. His mother had always favored him, so she handed over her gun and surrendered with a few words, letting him go.

Once out of the mansion, First Young Master Liu was like a fish in water, his lifeless appearance in front of his Madam Hou suddenly disappeared, humming a little tune, and headed towards West Street Liu Lane.

Where is Liuxiang on West Street?This name is the land of Flower Street and Willow Lane. From a distance, the red lights on both sides of the street are hung high, the red sleeves are fluttering, and the sweet fragrance of women's makeup is scattered to every corner.Liu Eishao walked past these gorgeous women, but ignored their greetings, and went straight to the deepest part of Willow Alley.

The further you go in, the dimmer the lights become. When you go to the deepest part, there is only a little hidden candlelight left. When you reach this place, those teasing and laughing voices suddenly disappear, as if you have entered another world.

The yard only lit a dim yellow lamp at the door, slightly illuminating the stone steps in front of the door, Liu Eshao knocked on the blue brick and red lacquered door, and immediately someone opened the door and welcomed him in.

This courtyard is the only Nanfeng restaurant in Liuxiang, and it has always been known for its low-key.After all, Nanfeng is a small crowd. These clients may accidentally enter by mistake, or have a short-sleeve habit, and they are not willing to spread it around. When clients who have been there often mention it, they often show subtle expressions that can only be understood.

Because of Shen Qing being reprimanded by Marquis Wen An, Liu Eshao thought about it behind closed doors for a month. He hated Shen Qing in his heart, but he couldn't take revenge. I have been thinking about the cloud and rain in Wushan for a long time.He then thought that it would be better to find someone who looked similar to Shen Qing in the Nanfeng Pavilion, and vent his anger first.

I don't know what this lady looks like on the bed, is she still as serious as the day, and one day, the master and the servant will let Liu Shaoyang take them all down. laugh.

The old bustard yelled "Master Shizi" several times, and Liu Eshao finally recovered from his obsession.He raised his head, carefully looked at the weak or alluring young ladies standing in front of him, and shook his head, quite dissatisfied.

Seeing that Liu Shaoyang was dissatisfied, the old man quickly said, "If my son is not satisfied with these things, there are other lovely little things in our store. Tell me, and I will guarantee you the little ones."

Liu Shaoyang raised his chin, looked at the bustard and asked, "Do you have all kinds?"

"Yes, yes, all, all!" the old man doglegly said.

"Okay then, help me find someone who is taller, who looks dignified and dignified, and doesn't have a dusty look. Oh, the appearance, it must be upright, and it's best to have peach blossom eyes."

"Huh?" The bustard was a little confused by the request, "Can you explain in more detail, my son? I can find the right one for you, too."

Liu Shaoyang glared impatiently at the old bustard, "I asked you if you were annoying or not, but you said yes, do you know Shen Qing?"

"Shen, Shen Shenqing..." The old bustard was startled, "Yes, is that Shen Qing?"

The old bustard asked tentatively, "Didn't the Master say Madam?"

"Yes, that's him." Liu Shaoyang became excited, "Just tell me if there is."

The old bustard looked embarrassed, he is the owner of Yinanfeng Pavilion, but he can't play with these powerful people, but...

"Master, you are really embarrassing me, what kind of person is that lady, how dare a mere Nanfeng Hall offend you?"

"If there is, I will give you ten times the price."

Seeing the open-eyed bustard, he immediately changed his expression.

"Master is easy to talk, the younger one is no matter how hard it is to find you, no, there is indeed someone who looks similar to your wife in our museum, but he is tired and lazy, and it's not that all kinds of valuable people don't want to show up. But Mr. What kind of person is he, he is willing."

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and find someone here." Liu Shaoyang sat on the chair, raised Erlang's legs, and waited for the old bustard to bring the person over, all his mind was thinking about later How to be rolled over by the waves, even the sound of roof tiles breaking above the head was not noticed.

The door creaked, and a foot came in. When Liu Shaoyang stepped on it, his attention was raised. He held his breath and waited for the person to walk in. The person slowly moved more than half of his body in, and then He almost didn't come in, but at this moment, a knife was cut horizontally on the back of Liu Shaoyang's neck, and Liu Shaoyang fainted immediately and fell to the ground.

Behind Liu Shaoyang, there is a person standing.

The young man who had just come in was startled, and wanted to shout out in a hurry, but the man flew out of his scabbard, and with a snap, pushed the door out and closed it.

"Shut up, don't make a sound." The cold sword flashed in the man's hand, and Xiao Guan immediately covered his mouth, not daring to make a sound.

The man stepped out of the shadows, with long eyebrows drawn into his temples, a trace of coldness burst out of his slender phoenix eyes, and the red mark on his forehead seemed to be stained with blood. Xuan Shen indifferently skipped Liu Shaoyang lying under his feet, and walked to In front of the foolish young man.

He pushed away the little boy's hand covering his mouth, and looked at him carefully for a long time, the little boy was indeed somewhat similar to Shen Qing, Xuan Shen pulled the distance away, and said disdainfully: "It's not like him at all."

Shen Qing is not the cowardly look of this young man.

"Do you want to leave here?" Xuan Shen asked him.

Xiao Guan couldn't react for a while, and it took a long time to understand what Xuan Shen meant, and nodded repeatedly. If there was no other way, who would want to stay in such a ghostly place.

"Well, I'll take you out. After you go out, don't do this kind of business again. If I see you appearing in this kind of place again..." Xuan Shen didn't finish the following words, but Xiao Guan heard it .

"I beg the hero to take me out." Xiao Guan immediately knelt down.

"Then let's go." Xuan Shen bent down and was about to drag Liu Shaoyang out, but the young man suddenly said: "Hero, can you wait a little longer, I don't have any money on me now, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive if I go out, please let me go I went back to get the silver taels..."

After hearing what he said, Xuan Shen loosened his hand and put Liu Shaoyang down, only to see Liu Shaoyang rolled twice on the ground, a purse rolled out of his arms, and the silver taels inside were exposed.

Xuan Shen glanced at the silver tael, kicked it, and kicked the purse to Xiao Guan's feet, Xiao Guan quickly picked it up, Xuan Shen raised Liu Shaoyang's leg again, and was about to drag it out, but Xiao Guan spoke again.

"Hero Rong wait for a while."

Xuan Shen slapped Liu Shaoyang down again, and Liu Shaoyang rolled a few more times on the ground, at this time, of course nothing fell.

Xuan Shen stared at Xiao Guan'er without saying a word, and Xiao Guan'er knelt down and begged for mercy in a little fright, afraid that the hero who appeared suddenly thought he was troublesome and would finish him off with a sword.

"Great hero, the deed of prostitution of the villain is still with the old bustard, please allow me some time, hero, I will go and fetch him..." The little boy kept talking in a whisper, Xuan Shen's cold eyes almost made him want to He cried.

"Where?"

It took the young man a while to understand what Xuan Shen was referring to, "It's in the drawer in the madam's room, locked with a box..."

Xiao Guan told Xuan Shen where the deed of sale was kept, then pointed to the room, Xuan Shen turned around and went out from the door openly, then poked his head in again, and said to Xiao Guan, "Don't talk."

Xiao Guan immediately covered her mouth, afraid that Xuan Shen would be upset and regret not taking him out, but after a while, Xiao Guan realized that she hadn't told Xuan Shen what her name was yet.

Xuan Shen went out this time openly and aboveboard. The Nanfeng Pavilion is also divided into levels. For rich and powerful people like Liu Eshao, the old bustard will naturally arrange them in a special and quiet place. The backyard is full of powerful people. It is a place where only people can enter, so it is a bit quiet.

Xuan Shen walked in the corridor for a while, but he didn't meet many people. He occasionally met one or two clients. Dizzy, Xuan Shen went all the way into the old bustard's room, and found the locked wooden box as the young man said.Xuan Shen didn't plan to search one by one, he took the whole box back, and then, under the surprised eyes of the young man, he split open the wooden box with his sword.

The young man was also literate in the Nanfeng Pavilion. He picked out his own deed of sale from a stack of papers, then looked at the rest of the stack, and with Xuan Shen's sometimes indifferent eyes, said cautiously: "Da Da Xia, Do you want to destroy all these contracts..."

With a flick of Xuan Shen's sword, he cut a piece of candle flower from the red candle and dropped it on the paper all over the floor. When the paper met the fire, it instantly burned.

Finally, the little boy had nothing to bother Xuan Shen anymore. Xuan Shen dragged Liu Shaoyang's leg and dragged him outside until he reached the corner of the backyard.

The walls in Nanfeng Pavilion are particularly high, if there is no ladder, it is impossible to climb out. Looking at the high walls, the young man felt timid, so he could only look at Xuan Shen helplessly.

Xuan Shen said trouble in his heart, he held Liu Shaoyang on his shoulders, luckily jumped onto the wall, then picked him out of the courtyard, and immediately threw Liu Shaoyang to the ground in distaste. Nor did she recognize her son.

Xuan Shen threw Liu Shaoyang down and jumped back into the wall, picked up the little boy again, repeated the same trick, and carried the little girl out, as soon as he stood still, he immediately let go of his hand, and the little boy slapped With a sound, before he could react, he fell straight to the ground and lay side by side with Liu Shaoyang on the ground.

The little boy fell so badly that his back hurt, his buttocks thumped, he rubbed his buttocks, and was about to thank him, when Xuan Shen dragged Liu Shaoyang deeper without saying a word.

"Hey, hero, I haven't thanked you yet..." The little boy chased after him, and Xuan Shen flew over with a sharp glance, and the little girl immediately fell silent, standing straight in the middle of the road, looking at Xuan Shen's eyes. The back figure disappeared into the shadows.
