Chapter 177 Inspecting the Coast
All the students are amazed by the design of this county.

"Brother Shiyu, did you design this blueprint?" A student excitedly grabbed Meng Shiyu's hand and asked.

"It was designed by me, it is not mature enough, and needs to be continuously improved..." Meng Shiyu laughed.

"I also have a lot of research on urban design and planning. I was going to be admitted to the Ministry of Jinshi and Engineering. I think this design is too advanced. I have never seen such a design..." Zhang Bai said excitedly.

"Since Brother Bai has research on urban design, the construction of the entire city will be entrusted to you. What do you think? If you need anything, you can come to me..." Meng Shiyu said excitedly.

"Leave it to me..." Zhang Bai had an incredulous expression on his face, "I have no experience, it's just in my head, it's just an idea..."

"I don't have experience either. I also figured it out with my own brain. What's the difference between us? Go ahead and do it boldly. This is your practical experience. Let's slowly improve together." Meng Shiyu said.

Therefore, Zhang Bai took over the job of being the leader of the transformation of Linshui County.

"I want to build a water tower here, and then lay pipes underground. The water can be transported to every household through the water tower, so that we can drink tap water..."

"How is this possible, the water flows downhill..."

"That's right, so, we have to transport the water to the water tower first, and the water pressure will allow a steady stream of water to be transported to the pipeline, and we can even build the hut into the house..." Meng Shiyu said.

"Meng Shiyu, you are worthy of being the number one scholar, and these thoughts are really deafening."

……

Meng Shiyu spent several days discussing the reconstruction of Linshui County with these students, and Li Yulou didn't see anyone else for several days.

Li Yulou missed him, so he went to the yamen to see him, but Meng Shiyu was too busy, so he just had a few words with her.

That night, Meng Shiyu was sleeping in the yamen, and suddenly woke up.

Hearing the snoring around him and smelling a strong stench, he couldn't take it anymore, so he got up and walked back to his small courtyard.

After taking a simple bath, he slipped into Li Yulou's arms.

"I thought you would never come back again and only lived with those men." Li Yulou turned around and gave Meng Shiyu a back.

Meng Shiyu hugged her from behind, and suddenly felt like Li Yulou, his breath touched Li Yulou's shoulder, breathing in her dense fragrance. .

"Don't move around..." Li Yulou reached out and patted the back of Meng Shiyu's hand, "You're angry."

"Sister Yulou..." Meng Shiyu called softly in her ear.

Li Yulou's heart softened when he heard this voice.

She couldn't bear Meng Shiyu's tenderness at all.

She turned over and got into Meng Shiyu's arms, her breath touched his skin, smelling his body.

She is soft all over.Before Meng Shiyu could do anything, she had already completely fallen.

Meng Shiyu bit her earlobe and softly called sister Yulou.

Meng Shiyu's soft call almost pulled Li Yulou's soul out of her body.

His hands were not so cold, but slightly warm.

"Hasn't the bed already been repaired?" Meng Shiyu said.

"Although I've done it, it's too old after all." Li Yulou said in his ear.

Before Meng Shiyu could speak, there was a click, and the two of them fell down at the same time, and the bed really collapsed.

Li Yulou hugged Meng Shiyu and giggled, "I told you to slow down, slow down, it's a shame."

"The bed is too old, what does it have to do with me?" Meng Shiyu hugged Li Yulou tightly, and wrapped the quilt around the two of them.

"The bed collapsed, how can I still sleep?" Li Yulou asked.

"If the bed collapses and you sleep on top of me, what effect does it have?"

Li Yulou said, "But it's not fair, I can't sleep..."

"Sister Yulou, what do you want, who do you want me to fix the bed at this time..." Meng Shiyu looked at Li Yulou, his eyes said that it would be really embarrassing if others found out.

Li Yulou stretched out his hand and patted Meng Shiyu's shoulder, "You still have the nerve to say it's embarrassing, but I will speak slowly, as if you want to put all your strength on me."

"Who is sister Yulou, why does she always make me do my best..." Meng Shiyu bit Li Yulou's earlobe and said.

"It's useless for you to talk sweet words." Li Yulou said, "Get up and repair the bed, at least make the bed flat."

Meng Shiyu had no choice but to get up and remove all the legs of the bed, then remove the discarded planks, re-lay the remaining planks, and then put the mattress on.

Although Meng Shiyu tried his best, if the bed was broken, it was broken, and there was no way to restore it to its original state.

But Meng Shiyu didn't seem to care, lying on the bed with a relaxed look.

"You don't feel embarrassed either." Li Yulou glared at him, but the man slipped into Meng Shiyu's arms.

Meng Shiyu raised his arms to hug him, and slowly groped with his fingers on her snow-white and soft shoulders.

"Haven't you heard a story?" Meng Shiyu said softly, "There is a country on the other side of the earth, and there is a president there.

A president is someone like our emperor, the supreme power who rules this country.When he was 68 years old, he collapsed the bed by doing this kind of thing with his wife. This country regarded it as a special honor and publicized it everywhere. "

Li Yulou patted him, "I know it's nonsense, how can there be such a thing? You deliberately made up stories for me to flaunt yourself."

"What I said is true, what did I lie to you for?"

"There is no sound this time." Meng Shiyu said with a smile.

Li Yulou,...

"Master, what are you doing?" Xiaoqi and Chuntao asked standing at the door.

"It's okay...you go back to sleep." Li Yulou felt a little ashamed.

"The bed?" Chuntao said, "Miss, I told you that you have gained weight recently, but you still don't believe it..."

Li Yulou gave Chuntao a hard look and said, "No one will treat you as dumb if you don't speak."

Xiaoqi took Chuntao back to their yard to sleep.

Early the next morning, Meng Shiyu had something to do, so he handed over the work of repairing the bed to Li Yulou.

Li Yulou didn't know how to tell others about such a thing, because it would inevitably make people think about it, so she had to leave the matter to Xiao Qi to deal with.

Xiaoqi already knew.What's more, as Meng Shiyu's personal bodyguard, Xiao Qi should know something about her and Meng Shiyu.

Meng Shiyu took people out of Linshui County to the beach.

There are a few small boats parked here and there on the pier on the coast, and occasionally a few fishermen appear in their field of vision.

Meng Shiyu asked Zhou Wang, "As the saying goes, you can rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on the sea to eat the sea... Is there no seafood in the waters near Linshui County?"

Zhou Wang said, "Why not, my lord, back then Linshui County was famous for its shrimps, crabs, and all kinds of sea fish..."

"But since there are pirates, whoever dares to go fishing in the sea, once they encounter pirates, they will be taken away as coolies, or even killed directly..."

"If there are too many dead people, no one dares to go to sea."

"As long as all the fishermen who have the means have left, those who stay have no choice but to salvage some small fish and shrimps at a distance of more than ten meters to barely make ends meet..."

Meng Shiyu walked, looked at the surrounding environment, and thought about what to do to make the sea come alive.

He saw a fisherman who looked like he was in his 60s, with a stooped figure and an old man.

"Old man..." Meng Shiyu stepped forward to say hello.

The old fisherman looked terrified when he saw so many people, and they didn't look like ordinary people.

"How do you make a living now?" Meng Shiyu asked.

Seeing that the old man didn't answer, Zhou Wang said, "This is the new official from Linshui County, you can just say anything."

The old man seemed to have heard of Meng Shiyu, and there was some light in his cloudy eyes, "Master Tuiguan..."

The old man wanted to kneel down and was supported by Meng Shiyu.

"Just sit and talk." Meng Shiyu said.

"Thank you, sir!" The old man agreed to sit down.

"I can only support myself and my family by catching some small fish and shrimps. I dare not go to far places. There are many pirates on the sea." The old man said.

"Do you know where the pirates are?" Meng Shiyu asked.

"I don't know...the sea is so big, and the pirates come and go without a trace, how do we know where they are?" the old man said.

However, the old man's eyes flickered when he spoke, obviously not telling the truth.

"Can't some fish and shrimp be raised here?" Meng Shiyu asked, pointing to the beach.

"You can breed some, but it's very difficult, because the investment is huge, and the fish and shrimp can't grow very big... To get good fish and seafood, you still need the gift of the sea..." said the old man.

Meng Shiyu wanted to engage in farming.It would be good if there is a good bay for farming.

It can be seen that the sea in Linshui County is not suitable for farming.

Meng Shiyu is going to walk around the sea to see where there are suitable places for farming.

"Don't worry, old man, I will eliminate the pirates so that you can go fishing." Meng Shiyu said.

The old man looked at Meng Shiyu, "My lord, those pirates are extremely vicious and murderous. You'd better not mess with them, or they will retaliate."

"They are so numerous that they can even attack the county seat." The old man said.

"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to do it." Meng Shiyu's eyes were firm.

Meng Shiyu walked along the coastline of Linshui County, and it was already evening when he returned home.

"Shiyu, are you back?" Li Yulou was as happy as a little butterfly seeing Meng Shiyu's return.

"What is it that makes you so happy?" Meng Shiyu looked at her and asked, "Is the bed fixed?"

"Well, the bed has been replaced with a new one. It's still a western bed. It's very strong. It was sent by someone from the Zhao family..." Li Yulou said with a smile.

Looking at the bright smile on Li Yulou's face, Meng Shiyu thought, is Yulou stupid? Isn't this letting the whole county know that their bed has collapsed.

"Don't think too much, it was Xiaoqi who went to buy a bed and was seen by the Zhao family. They are in the shipping business, and they said that they sent us a bed just after they arrived in a batch of Western beds. It's very good." Li Yulou said.

"I thought my deeds were known to everyone in the county." Meng Shiyu said.

"What nonsense..." Li Yulou said, "I'm not happy because of this..."

Li Yulou said as he grabbed Meng Shiyu's arm and pulled him into the house.

"Yukun received a letter saying he married Princess Yuning."

"How could it be possible not to get married when the emperor bestowed a marriage? This is an inevitable thing. What is there to be happy about?"

"What he said in his letter...Princess Yuning is still with a virgin...Luohong..." Li Yulou lowered his voice.

Meng Shiyu didn't know what to say for a moment, what's so happy about it.

"That kid told me not to frame his wife again..." Li Yulou said with a smile.

"You brat, he even reprimanded you. Princess Yuning can fool him, a fool, just by using her brain." Meng Shiyu said.

"What do you mean?" Li Yulou asked.

"Put dog's blood in the skin and you can get away with it...not to mention..." Meng Shiyu didn't want to say more, after all, it's a girl's thing, and it's not good for him to talk too much.

Li Yulou looked at Meng Shiyu in shock, "How do you know this..."

"Reading... As long as you read enough books, there is nothing in the world that you don't know."

Meng Shiyu said lightly, "You don't know because you haven't read too much."

"Because everything is repeated, what you have done has been done by others."

Li Yulou snorted softly, turned and left, she was still a little unhappy about Meng Shiyu's evaluation of Li Yukun.

Meng Shiyu didn't think too much, and went to the study after dinner to record the results of today's investigation.

He found a good bay where he could start farming.

In addition, he asked Wang Dabiao to count all the ships that could be taken out at hand, and then repair them.

It's time for him to study some gunpowder and the like. After all, he wants to fight pirates, not ordinary bandits.

The county government of Linshui County keeps many maps of the sea area, and can accurately know the location of the surrounding islands.

He also ordered the third family to find a few old men who were familiar with the sea conditions to find out where the pirates were.

It was already late at night when Meng Shiyu finished his work.

After washing up, he went back into the house and went to bed.

"Why, unhappy and not looking at me?" Meng Shiyu asked Li Yulou who was lying on the bed reading a script.

"No..." Li Yulou said.

"I was wrong. Princess Yuning is a good woman. She is definitely not what the rumors say. She has never raised a male pet. It is all framed by others..." Meng Shiyu stretched out his hand to hold Li Yulou's small hand to persuade her.

Li Yulou looked at him, eyes full of scrutiny, "What you said is a lie..."

"People only want to believe what they want to believe. It doesn't really matter what I say. Yukun just believes it. As long as they are happy and happy, it doesn't matter who Princess Yuning was before."

"Princess Yuning is coaxing Yukun to be happy, so it's not worth it for you to follow suit."

Li Yulou felt that what Meng Shiyu said was right, the expression on his face eased, and he patted the place beside him, "Come up, the Western-style bed is really comfortable."

Meng Shiyu hummed and sat beside Li Yulou.

Li Yulou leaned on Meng Shiyu's shoulder, "I'm just a little homesick... I realized it's been almost a year since we left the capital after receiving Yukun's letter."

Meng Shiyu kissed Li Yulou, "It's my fault... I don't have much family affection, and I don't take care of your feelings."

"It's okay, I'm just a little sad for a while, the most important thing is that you are by my side." Li Yulou said softly.

"By the way, what have you been doing all day today?" Li Yulou asked.

"Inspect the coast, I'm going to fight pirates." Meng Shiyu said.

"You really want to fight pirates?" Li Yulou looked at him and asked.

"That's natural. If we don't fight pirates, it doesn't matter how we build the county, it will only make wedding dresses for others..." Meng Shiyu was firm.

"Pirates come and go without a trace at sea, how do you catch them?" Li Yulou asked.

"Where are people living on the sea forever..." Meng Shiyu lightly tapped Li Yulou's nose and said, "They all have strongholds on the sea, because there are many islands on the sea, as long as their nests are dug out, they have nowhere to go escape."
