When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 482 Hot Pot

It was raining heavily at this time, and except for some people under some straw sheds, there were people taking turns to keep an eye on the situation.

There were not many people left by the river.

The common people with the Xin family can rest, but the slaves do not have this treatment.

They were forced to brave the rain and come to the city of Tong County to dig ditches for drainage.

The sudden heavy rain turned the large construction site in Tong County into a vast ocean. In order to ensure that the city's foundation would not store excessive water, which would delay the construction period, Xinqu urgently mobilized more than 300 people to dig trenches under the city and divert a large amount of water. Rainwater drains away.

When Wei Shanzhou arrived with Xin Bing and Lu's father, Xin Qu received them at a temporary archery tower on the top of the city.

After half a year of work, the city wall of Tong County has been covered with bricks.

When you step on the bricks, it feels like walking on flat ground, and because it is bricks, there is not much water on it, and most of the water is discharged through the drain outlet.

"This is good! But look at this, it's a stone, right? You have to spend a lot of money to polish the stone."

Looking at the city wall and seeing Xin Qu, Xin Bing was the first to ask this question.

Weishan Zhou didn't want to disturb their reminiscing about the past, so Xinqu responded with a smile: "It's not a stone, but a brick made of clay."

"Is that so? That must be some kind of craft. It's amazing." Xin Bing laughed, feeling a little disappointed.

I went out with him to hang out. I originally thought that my hometown was not as developed as the place where he hung out, but I didn't expect that my hometown was actually more developed.

Because he went out to hang out, he missed the dividends of development.

Sadness arose spontaneously.

Xin Qu chatted with Xin Bing for a while, and then saw Lu's father.

Over the past few years, this boy's beard has grown out and his body has become thinner. Because his food is not bad, he has a lot of muscles, and he is now a strong young man.

Xinqu nodded with satisfaction: "Last time I sent someone to deliver a letter to you, telling you that your boy has become a father?"

Father Lu smiled brightly when he heard this: "Yes, she is a girl, very cute."

"Well, it's good to be a daughter," Xin Qu pointed out.

Father Lu's wife has a son's surname, and the fact that the first child is a daughter does not affect the blood of the second child.

Otherwise, just because of Zi Xun's identity, it would be impossible for Father Lu to get rid of his first child.

Father Lu also heard the smell, but he didn't say anything.

Although he was sure that the child was his, he was indeed not considered a virgin after getting married.

This is the case in this era. Rich women are really good at playing.

After all, they have no shortage of status, and naturally they will not lack suitors, so many of them are broken before they get married.

In an era when there were no mature contraceptive conditions, it was common to remarry with a child.

After chatting about the current situation, Xin Qu turned his attention to Wei Shanzhou: "Who is looking for me this time?"

"It's Ode to the Prince."

"Zisong?" Xin Qu raised his eyebrows slightly, he thought it was Zi Lian coming.

After all, Zi Lian is the only person besides Zi Xun who has a relationship with the Xin family.

"So, how do you plan to canonize me?"

Xin Qu smiled: "You won't want me to go to the south to receive a title, right?"

"Of course not, of course not." Wei Shanzhou waved his hands repeatedly. If Zixun really asked Xinqu to go to the south to accept the canonization, then Xinqu might really go south with tens of thousands of people.

"All you need to do is seal the earth and make an altar to accept the book.

This time the King of Shang and the priest sacrificed the troublesome Zhuofeng. Zhuofeng was dead and the name of Xinyi was abolished.

The king decided to ennoble your Excellency as Beibei and give him the name Yanfang to manage the northern land on behalf of the king. "

After Wei Shanzhou finished speaking, Xin Qu's smile froze slightly: "That's it?"

"This..." Wei Shanzhou said with a smile: "If we need to trade or something later, we need to talk to Prince Song, so..." "That's it, send someone to Tianjin to provide guidance for the Shang King's delegation."

"Hey! Thank you Bei Boqu!" Wei Shanzhou quickly thanked him.

Xinqu waved his hand and said, "Now that we've finished talking about King Shang, let's talk about your master. What did Zixun say?"

Wei Shanzhou stopped his salute, and then said with a more serious expression: "The Lord said, Bei Boqu should draw a boundary. Both sides have a bottom line, and each other can feel at ease. As long as the boundary is not crossed, everything will be business as usual."

"It seems that Zixun has taken control of Yan Shang City." Xinqu heard this and guessed Zixun's situation.

"However, if he asked me to draw the boundaries, wouldn't he be afraid that I would directly draw them to Tangyi (Tang County, Baoding), Yiyi (Renqiu), and Cangyi (Cangzhou)?"

"This..." Wei Shanzhou was a little tangled, and continued after a moment, "Having said that, the best demarcation plan is actually to use the land twenty to thirty miles north of these three places as the boundary. Balance, this is the optimal solution.”

"Yes, this is indeed the optimal solution.

In this case, you should go back and tell Zixun that the boundaries are Yishui, Baiyangdian, and Zhuoliushui.

Return to me in the north and mark it as Youzhou.

The south belongs to him, he can divide it into Jizhou, or whatever.

As long as the south doesn't mess around, I won't go south and enter their land.

Of course, if you need my help, feel free to ask. "

With a wave of his hand, Xinqu made Baoding, Renqiu, and the area north of Dacheng all his own.

In this way, a new Youzhou was born.

Weishan Zhou should come down. As long as Xin Qu doesn't mess around, then there won't be a big problem.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, let's have something to eat. It's quite tiring after a long journey."

Xin Qu said hello, and soon someone brought a copper hot pot. Judging from the color, it was not gold, but purple.

In other words, this is copper with high purity.

The waiter placed the charcoal in the middle, then added mutton bone soup to the side of the pot. Summer mushrooms and vegetables were placed on the table, and then fish cut into meats.

Ginger and chives are on the table.

Then there was a stack of beef balls made from pounded beef, as well as various dishes that I had never seen before.

All I can say is that the food in front of you is better than in the south.

"If you want to say you know how to eat, it has to be you." Father Lu put on his chopsticks and picked out a mushroom. The delicious taste came into his mouth and it was very comfortable.

Xin Bing on the side doesn't know how to use chopsticks, but Xin Qu has a wooden slotted spoon beside the pot, so he can scoop it directly into his own bowl and then use a knife and fork to handle it.

So he made a beef ball and took a bite. The minced ginger was mixed in, which was slightly spicy, but it did neutralize some of the fishy smell of the beef.

But in fact, beef doesn’t have much fishy smell.

When Xin Qu ordered people to kill cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, etc., they had to bleed.

A large basin of cow's blood can also make a lot of food.

It can be said that the speed of diet evolution in the north far exceeds the imagination of the south.

"Not bad, not bad." Wei Shanzhou took another bite. The coldness under the sudden rain dissipated a lot, and his smile became brighter. "I wonder if Uncle Bei can teach you the skills of making these beef balls?"

"It's not difficult. If you want to learn, you can go back and read the announcement. I will publish the recipes every seven days. I will also revise some edible wild vegetables. They may be useful during times of famine. Just copy them down if you want."

"Hey! That's great!" Wei Shanzhou's smile became even brighter.

After they were full of wine and food, Xin Qu asked Xin Bing to take Xin Bing back to Changping to visit relatives and friends, and then asked Wei Shanzhou to stay in Tong County. As for Lu's father, he also chose to stay in Tong County, preparing to wait for Zisong's arrival.

Originally, Xinqu would spend the afternoon in the rain, but unexpectedly, in the afternoon, a fast horse galloped into the city.

Then Bird Egg jumped down and hurriedly ran to Xin Qu: "Clan Chief, it's not good! It's not good! There is a flood in Lulong! The Yu clan is flooded!"
