After feigning death, the sturdy peasant girl abducted a hunter to give birth to cubs

Holding the thousand taels of silver rewarded by the emperor, Long Ba happily exited the imperial study.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long Ba."

He also knew that this was all thanks to Lu Shaoqian and his wife, if there were no city walls built by them.

How can he get rewards? He wants to take all the money to Shuangjiang Town to buy things.

At this time, I don't know what it means to drive the local economy, and what he does is to drive the economy of Shuangjiang County.

After Long Ba left, the emperor picked up a pen and wanted to draw a picture of the city wall of Shuangjiang Town.

Portraits take a lot of time, and the emperor writes while recalling, some of which are based on his imagination.

After all, it was just a painting, not a map. The more the emperor drew, the more surprised he was, if such a city wall was built in the north and west.

Then their Great Yanchao, He Chou, resisted the invasion of foreign enemies, "Xiao Lizi, hurry up and meet Xuan Longba."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

A moment later, Eunuch Li's drake voice rang out outside the imperial study.

So, the emperor took out the map of the northern territory, looked at it carefully, and drew a picture of the city wall with a brush.

The city wall is like a vigorous dragon, crossing the mountains, passing the cliffs, passing through the grasslands, and crossing the desert.

Ups and downs on the top of the mountains, on the other side of the Yellow River and the shore of the Bohai Sea, if it can be built, it would be great.

Soon, Long Ba came in carrying a bag, which was full of banknotes and clothes.

He was about to leave, he was going to Shuangjiang Town, although he had never eaten salted duck in sauce.

But the stewed chicken with mushrooms he had eaten in Shuangjiang Town was very fragrant and delicious.

"Are you ready to go now?" The emperor was very surprised.

Could it be that Long Ba ate better food in Shuangjiang Town, and he didn't even remember it in the palace.

"Return to Your Majesty, this servant hastened to change to Long Jiu. He may have something new recently. Your Majesty, you may not know that Shuangjiang Town is different every day."

The emperor acquiesced, because the city wall design drawings he drew were inspired by Shuangjiang Town.

"Come over and have a look. I drew it as you said, and also drew the blueprints of the northern border and the western border."

Long Ba walked closer and was stunned. After a long time, he said in amazement.

"Your Majesty's painting skills are amazing. This majestic and magnificent city wall is exactly the same as what this slave has seen."

"Really?" The emperor was very happy.

It's not that he doesn't believe in his own paintings, but that he doesn't believe that the city walls of Shuangjiang Town are really that good.

"It's absolutely true. They have already built this section, and it is exactly the same. Your Majesty is really amazing."

Long Ba admired Lu Shaoqian before, but now he admires the emperor's painting skills even more, which is much more beautiful than what he said.

Long Yi fell from the beam, he usually hid well without the emperor's summons.

He had just peeked at it, but he wanted to take a second look in surprise, so he accidentally dropped it.

"Please punish me, Your Majesty, the slave deserves death."

"Hahaha...does Long Yi want to peek at my painting?"

Long Yi: "...Return to Your Majesty, yes."

"I pardoned your sin, it is my painting that amazed you, and I can't blame you."

The emperor said generously, everyone likes to listen to good words, although Long Yi is not good at words, he proved it with practical actions.

Can the emperor be unhappy, how can he be punished!
Long Yi is a person who has experienced many battles with the emperor, "Your Majesty, if we build such city walls on all the borders of the Great Yan Dynasty, it will be much more difficult for foreign enemies to invade."

"Yes, but such a project requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and it doesn't happen overnight."

The emperor said rationally that their Great Yan Dynasty was prosperous and strong, but only a few central cities were rich.

The people on the border are just full enough, maybe there are passers-by who froze to death on the remote roads in the poor mountains.

It's not that the emperor doesn't know, but he has limited energy, and he also wants to make the people of Dayan rich and strong.

Therefore, he worked diligently for the development of Dayan, and thought hard, and often resisted the invasion of foreign enemies.

This is because since he came to the throne, there has been no natural disasters and plagues, and the Great Yan Dynasty has been prosperous and strong.

If those natural disasters and plagues happen, he may not be able to let the people tide over the difficulties smoothly.

"It would be great if the border guards were all like General Lu Shaoqian, and the court would not need to contribute."

Long Yi also heard Long Ba's report, if the frontier soldiers can open up wasteland and cultivate land, how great it would be to be self-reliant.

Not to mention the surprise of the emperor in the palace, even Lu's father was also surprised by him.

He's been involved in building the wall all afternoon, whether it's his daughter-in-law's idea or his son's.

They are all from his Lu family, something Lu's father should be proud of, before the sun goes down in the afternoon.

All had afternoon snacks, warm burritos, pork bone porridge with spicy radish sticks.

"What are you guys eating?" Father Lu had eaten two meals today, and the sun hasn't set yet.

"Uncle Lu, what we ate was afternoon snacks. The boss said that we do physical work, so we have to eat four meals a day."

A thousand households said proudly, with a wide smile on his black face.

"Do you eat the same thing every day?" Father Lu thinks this pork bone porridge is delicious.

"No, sometimes I eat corn buns with pork ribs and radish soup, and there is also a stir-fried dish."

"We have three dishes and one soup for dinner, white rice, porridge, corn tortillas or meat buns, and steamed buns for breakfast and afternoon..."

Father Lu felt that his son was really kind to the soldiers, no wonder everyone worked so hard.

There are also ordinary people who have come to work spontaneously after the slack season, and they are happy to have four meals.

Father Lu chatted and laughed with everyone in a down-to-earth manner, and learned that the soldiers actually planted a lot of rapeseed, broad beans and wheat by themselves.

Every spring, corn, peanuts, and broad beans are the staple food, so there is no need to look forward to the court's military pay when the harvest is good.

Lu's father has led troops for many years, but he has never farmed on his own, and relies entirely on the imperial court's military pay.

"So do you have time to train?"

"Yes, there are two hours of training in the morning and one hour of training at noon. The head said that normal work is also physical training."

Listening to everyone's words, Father Lu imagined that they were lifting such heavy stones and then building them on the city wall.

Isn't that just physical training!
This second son is rarely by his side, but he is so capable, he is very pleased.

After eating the afternoon snack, everyone rested for a while and then worked enthusiastically.

Father Lu also worked with everyone. When it was dark, everyone called it a day, and Father Lu also went back to eat.

With Lu Sheng leading the way, he also told everyone, "You guys have a good rest, I'll come back tomorrow."

When Father Lu returned to the courtyard, Mother Lu and Lu Shaoqian had already washed their hands and were waiting for him to eat.

"Father, why did you come back so late?" Seeing Lu's father coming back, Lu Shaoyi immediately ran over and said.

"Brother Xiaotian, why did you go out for so long today?" Mother Lu looked at Father Lu and asked.

"Haha... I just came back from the city wall." Father Lu replied with a smile on his face.
