I bring the system to tease Shihuang to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 77 I'm Farming, Are You Eating Hot Pot?
Ying Zheng of Xianyang City has not received any news from Hanzhong County.

But Xincheng County has already received funding from Hanzhong County.

Zhao Jun checked the money sent, and it was obviously more than what they reported, so he couldn't help nodding.

It seems that the guys are quite good at life.

"My lord, I didn't expect the sheriff's speed to be so fast."

Tan Ben was a little shocked and a little happy, he had never received so much money, just looking at it made people happy.

"Qingliu, you will be in charge of this money, and the daily wages for repairing the terraced fields will be taken from you."

Zhao Jun ignored Tan Ben's fiery gaze and nodded towards Qingliu.

"It's my lord." Qingliu is very skilled in this matter.

"Magistrate Tan, have you summoned the people to start working?"

After collecting the money, Zhao Jun asked about business.

"My lord, I've already found it. Yesterday, I started leveling and weeding the hillside according to your instructions."

Tan Ben coughed twice, turned his mind away from the box of money, and answered Zhao Jun's question.

"Okay, I'll go with you to have a look."

It started work yesterday, and Mr. Zhao was worried, so he decided to go over and see for himself.

When she came here, the hillside was full of people, and everyone was working in full swing.

The entire hillside was completely different from what she saw when she first came here. There were some weeds and stones, but now they have almost been removed.

"My lord, your magistrate."

Just as Jun Zhao was wandering around looking around, a female voice suddenly came.

Zhao Jun turned his head and took a closer look. It was the mother and son whom he saw by the river last time.

"It turned out to be the Du Jiang family. Why are you looking for me?"

Tan Ben also felt strange, this Du Jiangshi usually didn't like to socialize with people, why would he suddenly stop him today.

Zhao Jun stood aside and watched without speaking.

"Master County Magistrate, the daughter of the people has something to ask for."

The young woman with disheveled hair and ragged clothes knelt down on the ground when she walked in front of Tan himself.

Her son followed behind, and the little boy knelt down with his mother.

"Well, what do you mean? If you need help, just say it. I will definitely do my best."

Tan Ben stretched out his hand to help her up. He was full of sympathy and admiration for this woman, and he was still willing to take care of her in his jurisdiction.

"My lord, Minnv would like to ask you, can you let me do the work of building terraced fields?"

"You were not there when the county was looking for someone before, and Minnv also went to try, but they don't accept women, as long as they can work hard, Minnv sees that they are working now. Minnv can also do it. I only need half of the salary All right, I can do it."

The woman pleaded earnestly and full of hope.

Zhao Jun stood aside and listened to the whole process. It turns out that this matter has something to do with the construction of terraced fields.

Tan Ben was a little hesitant, he could still have the final say on other matters, but repairing terraced fields.

He looked at Zhao Jun hesitantly, as if asking for her opinion.

The woman also looked over, she didn't know who the young woman standing next to the county magistrate was.

"My lord, what is your opinion?" Tan Ben asked respectfully.

"I didn't say that men must be used to build terraced fields. Although it may be very tiring in the later stage, she can do the work now, and it's okay to have one more person working."

Zhao Jun looked at the mother and son and knew that they were there for that day's wages.

Life is so difficult and it is right to try to earn money.

"Really, thank you, sir, thank you county magistrate."

The woman didn't know what the woman was doing, but she knew that the county magistrate listened to her, and now she agreed to go to work by herself.

The woman wept with joy and kept saying thanks.

"My lord, I can also do things." The ten-year-old boy behind her said with a serious face.

"My lord, the child is not sensible, he just wants to help me." The woman hurriedly pulled her son back, not letting him speak any more.

"Yeah, you're still a child, we don't want child labor."

Zhao Jun said with a smile, knowing that this was the child's filial piety.

However, there is indeed a hidden danger in it, she frowned and then looked at Qingliu.

"Qingliu, from now on, you will register the number of workers recruited every day according to the county magistrate Tan, and choose people according to the tasks to be done every day. It happens that you are in charge of paying the money. In the future, you will settle the wages on a daily basis, no problem."

"Yes, my lord, I can do it here." Qingliu nodded.

Zhao Jun knew that she was fine, and managed the workshops of so many people in Xianyang, not to mention the small county now.

"Du Jiangshi, you can go back with peace of mind. From now on, I will follow the recruiters every day. As long as you can do the work that day, I will let you pass, but it is true that you cannot do it and will not favoritism."

Although Qingliu sympathizes with her quite a bit, she will still deal with it fairly, which is also the meaning of the adults letting her take over.

After that, Du Jiang thanked him again and again before taking his son back.

It only took two easy days to build the terraced fields. When the weeds on the hillside were gone, the more difficult and important process came later.

The terraced fields are being reclaimed bit by bit by sweat.

Zhao Jun and Qingliu went out early and returned late every day, and they lost weight visibly with the naked eye.

At the beginning, some women and aunts signed up to work, but in the end there were almost only strong laborers left.

Du Jiangshi persisted for a few days, but finally gave up.

However, the money earned a few days ago has been distributed to her, and it is not a waste of hard work. She can buy more corn to make her son grow up.

Time just passed by little by little.

People in Xincheng County are full of hope when they look at the little bit of farmland.

It doesn't matter how difficult the process is, they will soon own such a large piece of land.

At the end, Zhao Jun couldn't keep up, so she could only stay below with Qingliu and direct the delivery of water and the like.

And when Zhao Jun was struggling arduously.

Yingzheng in Xianyang

eat hot pot……

"My lord, this is the fourth time you have eaten hot pot in the past half a month. The people in the dining room said that if you eat too much, you will easily get angry."

Sun Cheng said carefully while serving.

"Why does the widow feel that this hot pot is getting worse and worse, it is not as spicy as the one I ate at Zhao Jun's before."

Ying Zheng smacked his tongue after taking a bite of the tender tofu.

"This, maybe Mr. Zhao has some secret recipe."

Sun Cheng hung his head and said nothing.

"Okay, call someone to withdraw."

After a while, Ying Zheng dropped his chopsticks and waved his hands.

Sun Chengru received the amnesty and told people to quickly put down the stove.

He touched the sweat on his forehead from the temperature of the stove and couldn't help thinking.

If Mr. Zhao hasn't come back until June, the king wouldn't want to eat hot pot during the dog days.

He couldn't help but have this horrible conjecture.

"What else are you thinking about?" Ying Zheng turned to ask when he saw him standing there in a daze.

"Uh, slave, slave thinks, Mr. Zhao doesn't know what to do after going out for such a long time."

"You miss her, and no one knows what she is doing."

Ying Zheng said flatly that he was dressed without expression.

"I just received a report from Hanzhong County a few days ago, saying that it is going to build terraced fields there. It must be something strange."

"Master Zhao's dedication to serving the people must be a great thing that benefits the country and the people."

Standing by the side, Sun Cheng didn't know what to say, so he could only compliment him.

"It's okay, don't mention her, bring the official documents here, and the widow will deal with some government affairs."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and stopped mentioning Zhao Jun.

"My lord, the night is getting dark, you should rest early and pay attention to your body." Sun Cheng said with concern.

Your Majesty has been dealing with government affairs late into the night every day, which is really exhausting.

"Okay, the widow knows, you can go down." Ying Zheng waved his hands and didn't listen to him.

"My lord, if you haven't entered the harem for a few months, you can..."

Sun Cheng didn't stop, and wanted to say that the king hadn't been to the harem for several months, so he could go to those wives to rest.

Unexpectedly, he met Ying Zheng's death gaze as soon as he finished speaking.

Ying Zheng's tiger eyes stared at him calmly, but it made Sun Cheng feel cold all over his body.

"Did the widow treat you so well that you have the courage to intervene in the widow's affairs, and you still don't want to get out."

Sun Cheng quickly backed out with one step and two steps.

What's the matter with your majesty, it's okay to go to the harem to rest before, why are you so angry today.

Could it be that the king is still angry about Mrs. Chu last time?
