Han Xiang

Chapter 239
"Are you planning to embezzle?"

Lu Su swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly asked: "Sun Quan delivers food and supplies, if the construction period is delayed, won't it?"

Long Xiang smiled leisurely: "Don't worry, Zijing, Sun Quan has chosen a period of half a year, and I have plenty of time. Not only will the channel be completed on schedule, but the city walls of the new city will also be driven out."

"In the beginning of the new year, we need to sow seeds in a large area. If the channels and the new city walls are rushed at the same time, there will be places for employing people everywhere. Don't be too optimistic. If it doesn't work, the construction of the city walls can be delayed." Lu Su frowned.

"Can't slow down."

Long Xiang's tone was firm: "Even if there are thousands of difficulties, the city wall must be built first. If the loopholes are not closed, it is a risk. This matter can't be delayed. Let everyone work harder next year. I don't want to be threatened again."

Lu Su sighed: "Forget it, Yun Qi is proficient in construction, maybe he can really get what he wants, and it would be best if he can grab the city wall."

"Come on, let's go back to the city."

Long Xiang patted Lu Su on the shoulder and said: "In the next few months, I will focus on the projects on both sides. I guess I will be too busy to go home every day. You and Zi Yang will be fully responsible for the internal affairs. We must ensure the supply of building materials for the new city. Immediately add and build."

"Hehe. That's not okay"

Seeing Lu Su's joking response, Long Xiang said seriously: "Don't say no, I know Zijing's ability, you can be a good family in Hefei."

Lu Su solemnly replied: "You are the lord of the city, so you should not work too hard. You have to make decisions on many matters. In addition, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. The workshops in the city have almost never stopped. Do you have to rest for a while?"

"rest?"

Long Xiang frowned and shook his head: "Time waits for no one, it's not too late to rest next summer, during the Chinese New Year, the construction site in the new city can be closed for a few days, but the cement workshop and brick workshop cannot be stopped. There is a huge shortage of building materials, so we can arrange it if it is not possible." Rotation."

"Alright." Lu Su nodded slightly, and then reminded Long Xiang: "Yun Qi is getting married at the end of the year, no matter how busy you are, you have to stop. Remember that haste makes waste. If guests come to congratulate you, you will show timidity in a hurry."

Long Xiang stopped in his tracks, with an approving expression on his face: "It makes sense, Zijing reminded me in time, I'm overly nervous."

"That's right." Lu Su nodded his beard: "The two Mrs. Qiao are as beautiful as flowers. In the coming year, there must be Lin'er to announce the good news, and there will be a future."

"Uh"

Long Xiang scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. He was embarrassed to start the matter of having a child. He was an older unmarried man in his previous life, and he had no chance to experience the feeling of having children at home. At this time, he has a vague concept of family happiness.

While meeting Lu Su and going down the city wall, Long Xiang remembered that he had been married for many years and had no children. He guessed that one of his husband and wife was suffering from a hidden disease and should be checked and treated early. Miscellaneous diseases.

Long Xiang felt a little regretful at this time, he shouldn't have sent Yuan Shu's people to Jiangdong, because there were many medical officers among them.

He plans to wait for the completion of Hefei's new city, plan and build a number of medical clinics in the city, and establish Hefei's health system through self-cultivation and external recruitment.

With the government supporting doctors, Long Xiang believed that the health system in Hefei would be better than other cities. In addition, he was already looking for a famous doctor.

Long Xiang, a famous doctor in the Three Kingdoms period, only knew Hua Tuo. Hua Tuo was from Qiao County, Peiguo.

Hua Tuo often went out to practice medicine. With the idea of ​​building a medical clinic, Long Xiang entrusted Xu Chu with the task of finding out the whereabouts of the genius doctor, and asked him to send someone to Hua Tuo's hometown to wait for the rabbit.

After sending Lu Su to the master's mansion, Long Xiang suddenly remembered Hua Tuo, so he turned around and asked Xu Chu, "Zhongkang, how long have you been sending people to Qiao County? There is no news of Hua Tuo yet?"

Xu Chu shook his head and replied: "I have been away for half a year, but there is no news yet. Mr. Hua probably hasn't come home, but the New Year is coming soon, maybe there will be news in the next year, and I will definitely invite you here with courtesy."

"Mr. Hua's whereabouts are uncertain, it's inappropriate to wait like this."

Long Xiang frowned, thinking that he wasn't famous enough, he might not be able to invite Hua Tuo with courtesy, it's a stupid way to sit back and wait.

Thinking of this, Long Xiang suddenly had an idea.

Let your own people go to Qiao County to sit on the sidelines, why not move the "plant" to Hefei?

Long Xiang told Xu Chu: "If there is no news after the end of the year, let your people stay there, move the family of the genius doctor directly to Hefei, and let Mr. Hua come to the door by himself."

"This plan is very good."

Xu Chu was overjoyed when he heard that. The tiger guards he sent were all his cronies. They had evacuated with the whole village of Xujia Village and had conflicts with Cao Jun. He was worried that his cronies would be exposed for too long and might be in danger.

The excavation of the Shifei Canal is imminent. Although the materials from Jiangdong have not arrived, the preparations for Longxiang have already begun.

He selected a dozen potential "technicians" from Feng Zhong's craftsman camp, and visited the upper reaches of Shishui for more than ten days. He used a large number of wooden piles to complete the fixed-point positioning of the construction path of the excavation channel.

When the project starts next year, the construction will be carried out in sections according to the positioning of the wooden piles. The construction path is not completely fixed, and positive and negative offset adjustments must be made according to the actual situation under the soil.

In the budget, there are [-]% of the road sections with high stone content, which Long Xiang patted his head and listed the content, deliberately indicating that the construction is difficult, and the purpose is to increase the budget.

In fact, when encountering difficulties at the construction site, whether there are design drawings and supervision constraints, it is more labor-saving to bypass directly than to gnaw hard bones.

As the supplies promised by Sun Quan arrived at the Hefei wharf one after another, the days were slowly approaching, and Long Xiang's wedding was also slowly approaching.

The atmosphere of the New Year in Hefei is getting stronger, and the Xiaowei Mansion has been decorated with festive decorations. Hundreds of tables have been prepared inside and outside the main hall.

Long Xiang intends to use his happy event to reward the soldiers and officials who have worked hard for a year.

The marriage process in the Han Dynasty was complicated, divided into pre-wedding ceremony, formal wedding ceremony, and post-wedding ceremony. Among them, the pre-wedding ceremony included Nacai, asking names, Naji, Nazheng, and asking for a date. There are fixed calendars for the intervals between appointment and marriage of senior officials and common people.

Long Xiang was born in the lower ranks, so the one-month period should have been taken from the commoner's gift, but at this time he has the rank of a lieutenant, and Qiao Rui was once Yuan Shu's general, so the one-season period was taken from the Qing doctor's calendar.

Long Xiang has no experience in marriage in his two lives. No matter the pre-wedding ceremony or the wedding ceremony, he is like Xiaobai, following the guidance of Lu Su and Liu Ye, and going through the process like a marionette.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Long Xiang finished the ceremony according to the procedure. He still couldn't show the groom's eagerness to enter the bridal chamber, so he had to stay in the vestibule to toast with the guests.

There were hundreds of tables of guests in the mansion, and everyone wanted to say something auspicious to Long Xiang, so it was already dark after walking around.

As soon as Long Xiang returned to the main hall and sat down, Zhang Fei stood up.

I saw him staring drunkenly, and shouted: "Yun Qi, why are you still here?"

"I just had a toast"

Long Xiang shook his head, he was a little dizzy when he walked down from hundreds of tables just now.

Zhang Fei looked surprised: "What good is there to drink on the big day? You go back to accompany the newcomers, and I will help you hold the wine."
