You Can't Be Fierce Towards Me!

Holding Fu Tian's hand all the way, Chu Xiangtian didn't intend to let go at all. Fu Tian's mind was in a mess, but he obediently let him lead him back to the room.

There was a slight warm light in the bedroom, covering the whole room with a soft and ambiguous atmosphere. Fu Huang pulled out his hand belatedly, pursed his lips and told Chu Xiangtian to go back to sleep quickly.

"Okay, you clean up first." Smiling and rubbing his head, Chu Xiangtian turned and went outside.

There was warm water on the table in the outer room, which should have been put away by Dai Fu in advance.Chu Xiangtian found a jar of honey, poured it into a cup of warm honey water, and brought it to Fu Tian.

Fu Tian had just finished washing, put on a soft undershirt, and took off her hair crown. Her long, soft black hair fell on her shoulders. With her small and delicate face, she looked smaller and more desirable to hold in her hand. love.

"Drink a glass of honey water before going to bed." Chu Xiangtian stuffed the glass into his hand.

Fu Tian said thank you, held the cup and raised his head and drank it clean.

His eyes fell on his Adam's apple that was sliding up and down, Chu Xiangtian's eyes darkened for a moment, but there was nothing unusual on his face, when Fu Tian finished drinking, he took the cup, rubbed his head, and said softly: "Sweet dream. "

Fu Tian's heart was as sweet as the honey water he just drank.

He pouted his buttocks and got into the quilt. He didn't know whether he drank the honey water or because of other reasons. I buried my face in the soft bedding, and fell asleep with the sweet fragrance.

Of course, even dreams are sweet.

Fu Huang slept soundly that night, and woke up the next day in good spirits. He picked out a lake-blue robe and put it on. Fu Huang went to the study in a good mood to attend class.

When passing by the yard, he didn't see anyone he was familiar with punching there. Fu Tian's cheerful footsteps paused, and then he continued to walk towards the study.

Zhou Chuanqing poured him a cup of tea to soothe his mind as usual, while Fu Tian drank the tea, but he was thinking about the absent person.

He had to pass by the yard every morning, and Chu Xiangtian always punched in the yard earlier than him. Although he just said good morning when he passed by every day, it was like a silent agreement between the two. Now that Chu Xiangtian suddenly broke the appointment, Fu Tian I can't tell what it's like in my heart, anyway, I just feel weak all over.

Holding the teacup, Fu Tian still couldn't hold back his hesitation and asked, "Why isn't Chu Xiangtian here today?"

Zhou Chuanqing raised his eyebrows in surprise, he didn't expect Fu Tian to ask about Chu Xiangtian.

The team sent by the imperial court to take over the gold mine arrived at midnight last night.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry took the lead and finally arrived at Sifang Town with the skilled craftsmen and the tools needed for mining.

Although Chu Xiangtian was going to be a hands-off shopkeeper, he had to check the situation as soon as he arrived.

But this must not be said to Fu Tian, ​​Zhou Chuanqing could only tell a lie, "He has something to do at the moment, so he went back to Xishantou."

Fu Tian said "Oh", it turned out that there was something to do, so he calmed down and listened to Zhou Chuanqing's lecture.

And Chu Xiangtian was indeed busy as Zhou Chuanqing said.

Gold mining is not a short-term thing. When those people mined secretly before, in order not to make a big noise, the cave was dug deep, but no corresponding protective measures were taken. If they want to mine, they must ensure that the cave will not collapse.

In addition, Sifang Town lacks smelting equipment, and the mined ore has to be transported back to the capital for smelting and separation. The gold pan is too large, and it is too time-consuming and laborious to transport it from the capital, so we can only deal with it in this way in the short term.

"The meaning of the Holy One is that if the gold reserves are large enough, canals can be dug."

Sihu River is next to Fengshui, and Fengshui is the longest and widest river in Dachu. It will obviously be much more convenient for them to transport gold mines if they are drilled through.

Chu Xiangtian also felt that this was a good idea. Now that the national treasury is empty, this gold mine discovered by accident has solved their urgent needs. At least the military pay for the past two years can be more generous.

"You first send someone to explore the gold mine and determine the reserves."

"The gold mines that have been mined before and have not had time to be transported away can be transported back first. As for the people left behind by Zhao Renhua and the others, their identities must be identified first, and the good people can be released after being registered. Work is paid. If it is a lowly nationality, the old, weak, women and children will be released, and the young and strong will stay and continue mining, and wages will be paid according to performance..."

Chu Xiangtian made arrangements one by one, making sure that there were no omissions for the time being, and then he prepared to leave.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry called to stop him, "Will the prince not stay in the county office?"

Chu Xiangtian frowned, and stared at him seriously, "Don't call me prince outside, and treat me as if you don't know me."

Minister of Industry: "????"

Leaving behind the bewildered minister of the Ministry of Industry, Chu Xiangtian strode away. In fact, he was a little guilty. People from the capital came, and someone had to take charge of the overall situation. It was either him or Zhou Chuanqing. He frowned, always feeling that this was not a good thing If you don't hide it, sooner or later you will get out of the basket.

But it's not easy to tell the young master directly.

To be honest, he might be kicked out again.

Chu Xiangtian clicked his tongue, and returned to Fu's house familiarly, forget it, let's take a step and look at it.

It was almost noon when he came back, Fu Tian finished reading the documents sent up below, and after annotating each one, he sealed the wax seal and sent someone to send it out.

During this period of time, the enthusiasm of all the managers was very high. After returning from Sifang Town, they not only actively recommended candidates, but also tried to give Fu Tian a lot of useful suggestions.

Although these managers are talented, they have been in charge of Mipu for more than ten years and have rich experience. Many times, the suggestions they put forward are more practical than Fu Tian's own fantasy or what he read in books.

Therefore, Fu Huang did not hesitate to give them some encouragement. At present, the manpower of each shop has been gradually replenished, and the next thing he will be busy with is Zhuangzi's affairs.

However, most of Zhuangzi was around Sifang Town, and it was more convenient for Fu Huang to patrol. He stretched himself a lot, and Fu Huang was about to go out to exercise his muscles and bones, and then bumped into Chu Xiangtian who was coming back.

"Where have you been?"

"Is it done?"

Both of them were taken aback for a moment, and then asked in unison.

Fu Tian laughed, his black eyes were like bright gemstones, with a moist light, "Well, it's over."

"Are you done with your business?" He asked again.

Chu Xiangtian nodded, "I went outside the city to deal with some matters."

Fu Tian was puzzled, "Didn't Brother Zhou say you went back to Xishanzhai?"

Chu Xiangtian: "..." Why didn't you say hello in advance when you made up nonsense?

He calmly explained: "Well, I went back to Xishanzhai first, and went outside the city by the way."

Fu Tian said "Oh" and didn't pay much attention to it, so he asked him if he had eaten.

Chu Xiangtian shook his head. He was discussing the matter of the gold mine with the people from the Ministry of Industry in the middle of the night, and came back in a hurry after it was finalized. There was no time for dinner.

Fu Tian laughed, "I asked the kitchen to warm up the food for you, eat some first?"

"it is good."

The two went back to the yard side by side. Dai Fu brought over the warm food from the small kitchen. Chu Xiangtian was indeed hungry, so he ate quickly with his chopsticks. meaning.

……

Two days later, the town posted an announcement that the new county magistrate had taken office, and that the gold mine at the junction of Sifang Town and Lehe Town would also start mining. , and wages.

The common people gathered around the announcement and whispered, discussing whether it was reliable or not.

The busy season has not yet started, and many people are idle. If it is true, then it is very cost-effective to earn some wages.

Before the announcement, there were officers and soldiers registering with booklets. At the beginning, there were only a few people. After two days, people who heard it said that there was indeed food and drink. After the wages were paid according to the amount of gold mines mined, more and more people signed up. many.

Gold mining is gradually getting on the right track, but this is not what Fu Tian cares about. He is more concerned about the fact that the government is recruiting young men again to build a wharf in Sifang Town.

In fact, the Sihu River is wide and deep, with few sharp bends. It is very suitable for water transportation, but the place is remote, there are no boats coming from outside, and there is nothing to be transported inside. In addition, the former officials were faint, so they did not move. Take advantage of this.

After several rounds of exploration by the Ministry of Industry, it was confirmed that the existing gold deposits were rare and large, and another semi-exposed gold deposit was discovered on another shoal not far away, and the matter of building the wharf was immediately decided. put on the agenda.As for the excavation of the canal, a memorial still needs to be written and submitted to the capital for discussion.

Fu Tian heard the news, and even took people to go around the Sihu River in person. Zhou Chuanqing also said that the Sihu River and Fengshui might be dug through. Whether it is true or not, it will undoubtedly be good for Fu Tian. information.

Chu Xiangtian didn't know why he was so happy. After hearing the news, Fu Tian looked like a pie had fallen from the sky, and he ran over after him.

The people from the Ministry of Industry were surveying by the river, assessing where the pier would be most suitable. Looking at the busy officers and soldiers, Fu Tian felt a layer of joy in his heart.

He has studied many methods of drought prevention, and digging canals is undoubtedly the most effective. After the north-south water vein is connected, the flood and drought resistance on both sides is greatly improved, and water transportation is faster and safer than land transportation. After the canal is dug, even if drought For two years, they can also quickly transport food by water.

The drought that lasted for two or three years in the last life started from the south, and the situation in the north was not so severe because of the Fengshui River. Fu Tian was thinking about it in his heart, and his whole body was like a plant that has absorbed water, full of energy Son.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry led people to survey the locations of the three piers, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and prepared to take people back first.

As soon as he climbed up the embankment, he saw Chu Xiangtian beside Fu Tian. He subconsciously wanted to come over to salute, but Chu Xiangtian's eyes fixed him on the spot.

Responding quickly, he withdrew his hand, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry led the people to turn around and quickly left in another road.

Fu Tian was puzzled, "Did they want to come over just now?"

Chu Xiangtian calmly said: "No, you read it wrong."
