Passing through the station

Soak in hot springs, shabu-shabu, and sleep well.

When the family of four got up early the next day, they felt that all the tedious etiquette and fatigue of the whole Chinese New Year had dissipated.

Ruan Bai has already made egg-filled pancakes, with a few plates of crispy vegetables and tender sliced ​​meat on the side, as well as a few plates of sauces.He rolled it according to his personal taste, and by the way, he fed it to a few fat dogs waiting to be fed.

Chu Hao ground the soy milk.

Pingxi Wang and his wife ate the filial food of the juniors... a little dissatisfied: "It's not enough, Xiao Er will cook a bowl of mutton noodles." While sighing, "If I were in Shunyang, I would be able to eat beef noodles."

That's right, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was not easy for King Pingxi to eat a bite of beef.If he really wants to eat beef, it's actually not difficult at all, but there are many people staring at his position, so he has to be careful in his actions and pay attention to everything.

The princess slapped him on the stomach: "You've already eaten five, are you still not full?" The pancakes didn't look very good, but there were tender eggs inside, plus all kinds of vegetables and meat. Intuit is sincere.She was full after eating one, and she couldn't even drink the soy milk.

Chu Hao didn't speak, just looked at Ruan Bai.He wasn't full either.

Ruan Bai slowly swallowed what was in his mouth, and then said: "The noodles have been prepared in the kitchen, and they will be served later." Even if he doesn't know the appetite of his father-in-law, he still doesn't know the appetite of his own man?

Sure enough, not long after he spoke, the servants brought up the noodles.

After the people left, Ruan Bai went on to say: "The beef has been slaughtered, and it is broken when it is transported from Shunyang to Xijing. I will have someone drive the cattle directly next year." Looking back, I have to find out if there are any special beef cattle.

The concubine patted King Pingxi's belly again: "You have a lot to do." Driving cattle from Shunyang, it's better to kill and eat them in Xijing.

King Pingxi was unmoved: "By the way, bring some more sheep. The mutton in Shunyang is better than that in Xijing."

"Okay." Ruan Bai didn't say anything else, "Mother, it's okay. Next year, I will rebuild part of the difficult official road from Shunyang to Xijing. The cattle and sheep in Shunyang will not consume so much locally. Xijing has a lot of people and purchasing power Qiang, it was meant to be transported here."

Although Shunyang has developed rapidly in the past two years and its population has been increasing steadily, the situation of sparsely populated land cannot be changed in a short period of time.The output of local crops is limited, and most of the crops grown now are coarse grains.On the contrary, pastures such as alfalfa, some wild fruits and vegetables can still produce some.The barrenness of Shunyang will not change, and there is almost no choice for projects that can be developed.In particular, Shunyang is backed by vast grasslands, and animal husbandry must be the focus of future development.

King Pingxi was interested in Ruan Bai's topic. After eating a large bowl of noodles in two or three mouthfuls, he wiped his mouth and began to ask, "Building roads? Is that cement road?"

"Well. There are three key roads to be built next year. One is from Lingnan to Jiangnan; the other is from Shunyang to Beijing; the third is from Shunyang to Xijing." Ruan Bai sighed inwardly as he watched his father-in-law eating. People who have experienced it, eat directly when necessary, and don't even chew it at all.

"Both go to Shunyang?"

"Ah, am I not in Shunyang? Of course the road administration project I preside over is my priority." In front of his family, Ruan Bai did not hide at all that he was using power for personal gain.

It is not a big deal to use power for personal gain. After all, it is a kind of unspoken rule that everyone does it.But as parents, they are a little worried: "Aren't you afraid that those officials in the DPRK will trip you up?" It's easy for them to jump around.

"Don't be afraid. If they don't let me repair it, then I won't repair it. If they can get the money for the road repair, then they will repair it. Anyway, I don't care." Ruan Bai bared his small white teeth, squinted his eyes and smiled , "The formula of cement will be given to the imperial court next year. They like to open several factories. If they take away the road construction, I will save trouble. The road in Lingnan has already been knocked down and will not be changed; The road from Shunyang to Xijing is our own business, and they have no control over the capital. The rest of the road to the capital is not allowed to be repaired, so I will pave all of Shunyang with concrete roads."

Strive to achieve village-to-village access within five years, so that the entire Shunyang will be more competitive!

How big is the whole Shunyang?King Pingxi was awed by his wealth and grandeur, and grinned: "Xiaoer, if you have money, how about building a few roads for your father?"

Seeing his shameless appearance, the princess was so angry that she couldn't beat her. She didn't pat his stomach, and directly twisted her hands. She looked at Ruan Bai seriously and asked, "How much does it cost to build the road? Xiaoer, don't listen to your father's nonsense, mother! Pay." She has saved a lot of money in the past few years, and several roads can still be repaired.

"Cement roads are much more cost-effective than masonry roads. But try to let the government pay for this kind of money. Anyway, people will put too much money in their pockets. It's better to squeeze it out." He couldn't forget that he traveled all the way from the capital to Beijing. In Shunyang, the accounts of the few yamen that were randomly inspected along the way are simple.

He, Ruan Bai, doesn't think he is a clean-sighted person, and agrees to a certain extent with the saying that "being an official for thousands of miles is only for money", but he never knew that making money can be done without any technical content.In his opinion, more than [-]% of the officials in the entire Dazhou need to take an economics course.

King Pingxi always felt that he had been hit by an arrow in his knee.My own little second questioned Lao Tzu's ability to govern, and he really didn't even cover it up.

After the family had breakfast, Ruan Bai gave the backpacks that he had prepared a long time ago to the fat people one by one.The family of four hiked to the mountain with only hunting weapons on their backs.

Although there are mountains and forests around Hot Spring Zhuangzi, there are no large prey, not even a poisonous snake. At most, there are things like pheasants and hares that can be found everywhere, and you can also spear a fish.

This kind of activity is a little childish for King Pingxi and Chu Hao, but the key is to play, and it is still very enjoyable.

The climate in the hot spring village is much warmer than outside, and it doesn't feel like winter at all.They stayed for four days, and they were a little bit unfinished.

On the carriage going back, Princess Pingxi whispered to King Pingxi: "It's just a little far away, otherwise we can come to Zhuangzi for a few days if we have nothing to do." Otherwise, it would take two days just to go back and forth.Both of them are not idlers, how can they have so much free time?

There were only the two of them in the carriage, and King Pingxi also nodded: "It's okay. Didn't Xiao Er say that next year the road will be built? This Zhuangzi is their property. With Xiao Er's character, this section of road will definitely be repaired, and it will be impossible to go back and forth when the time comes." Not much time."

Running a carriage on a bumpy road is not the same thing as running at a high speed on a flat road.

Princess Pingxi also thought about it: "By the way, how is the child you have seen in the clan? Is there a suitable adopter?"

Speaking of this, King Pingxi was also helpless: "There is no one that is particularly suitable. There are a few who want to adopt it, either because they are too old or have problems in other aspects. Let's wait. The children are still young, so there is no rush." It's fate.

Chu Hao and Ruan Bai only go home for a few days all year round, and it’s not easy for the couple to talk about this kind of thing. They still spend the rest of the year happily, and then happily Send people away.

As a result, not long after the spring plowing in Shunyang started, they received a letter from Xijing.

"Mother is happy!" After reading the letter, Chu Hao's expression was as if he had swallowed an egg alive, full of disbelief.

Along with the letters from home, there were several boxes of books, all kinds of books that were collected by the way during the preparation of the girls' school, which were considered to be for the school in Shunyang, which meant to support the disaster area.

Chun Geng was busy with affairs, and all the available people around Ruan Bai were sent out. He was sorting out various books by himself at the moment, and he heard Chu Hao say something loudly in the room, but he couldn't hear clearly: "Ah Hao, you say what?"

Chu Hao walked in quickly, and handed the letter paper to Ruan Bai: "Mother is happy!" He has been an only child since he was a child, and his only sister is not his own.To say that when he didn't understand anything when he was a child, he once thought about asking his mother to give him a few more brothers and sisters, so that he could also be majestic; but as he got older, he also gave up this thought.I didn't expect that even though he was married, his mother could still conceive...

Ruan Bai was not too surprised: "It's a good thing. Calculate the time when you are in the hot spring village, right?" These days, it seems that women who are over [-] can match the old characters; , especially Princess Pingxi, who has very good physical fitness, and pregnancy is not too unexpected.

"Hmm." Chu Hao's mind was a little complicated.Of course, he wasn't afraid that his younger brothers would compete for his family property, but... anyway, it was a bit awkward.

Ruan Bai looked at him, and chuckled: "What's the matter? We have multiple little brothers or little sisters, let's raise them as our own sons and daughters, it's better than adopting one."

Chu Hao said in a muffled voice: "If mother gives birth to a daughter, we will also have adoptive sons."

Ruan Bai responded casually with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart that according to the current momentum of the girls' school, if it can develop steadily, maybe there will be a few female lords in Dazhou.

In fact, it is not uncommon to see aristocratic women with titles, but most of them have no real power, which is different from some male nobles with titles.

If there is a chance, he would like to meet that Princess Min. He always feels that according to her character, she has a bright future.The girls' school in the capital has gradually turned into a girls' military academy under her hands...

Obviously, the emperor is a gentleman with a black belly, so why are his sons and daughters so upright and like to talk with their fists?I don't know what kind of character the second prince is?

The author has something to say: Zhou Xiaomao o(︶︿︶)o: Ergou is too outrageous, road construction only thinks about himself!

Big Cat Zhou (﹃﹃)~→: No way, he pays.

Zhou Xiaomao (=.=): Isn’t his yamen new? Where did he get so much money?

Zhou Damao (〃＞皮＜): You also have a son, why don’t you have any ability to make money?

Zhou Xiaomao (*￣ω￣): Don’t I look like you?
