The mistress of Chen State did not dare to look at Mr. Li with her wandering eyes. Li Jie thought, although I don't know much, among the six arts of a gentleman, is there anyone who can play swordsmanship?
If this is a knife, a gun, a stick, an axe, and a hook, wouldn't it be the eight arts of a gentleman?
I was suspicious in my heart, but I didn't ask what Miss Qing Snake Jing was thinking. As long as the harem is harmonious, what should I be afraid of?
Now the main thing is to nourish fetal qi, which is called nourishing qi for short.
"It's written."
"Well, let me take a look."
Commissioner Li picked up the paper and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it's well written and the handwriting is beautiful."
"..."
Guizhen was speechless. Was she still illiterate?
In Huaizhong City, in addition to "Chinese characters", there were only "official scripts", and Li Jie could still recognize a few of them.
It's just that "official script" is not popular in the upper class. The main force is "little officials" who have received a certain education at the grassroots level. Businessmen also use "official script", but it is only popular in the traditional large countries of the Central Plains.
Since the Song State was killed by the Wu State, this trend has not spread. After all, the Wu State is mainly illiterate, and there are all kinds of writing. When the old monster is alive, the will must be copied separately, otherwise it will be very awkward.
.
A letter "Li Jie is Very Loyal" written by Chen Guo's daughter-in-law was sent to Suzhou. It doesn't matter whether the literary talent is outstanding or not. What is important is that the attitude is good.
Tai Shumao is able to survive until now, and he is definitely a skilled person.
After finishing things, Li Jie was about to leave when Gui Zhen grabbed his hand and whispered: "We'll stay here tonight and sleep together."
"Huh? You know?"
Li Jie was startled and wondered whether this girl finally realized that she was nourishing the fetus instead of nourishing the Qi. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the swords on the sword stand. Could this be the weapon used to kill him?
"Well, women are not as good at training as I am; they are not as good at swordsmanship as I am..."
"??????"
Li Jie looked confused and wondered what the hell was all this?
"Then...what are you going to do?"
"I also ask Li Jun to teach me how to train soldiers. Li Jun is fighting against thousands of enemies, so his swordsmanship must be extraordinary. Please teach me too."
"..."
Commissioner Li was speechless and was stunned at that time. He held Guizhen's hand for a while and said, "Don't think you are inferior to Meiqiang. Qiang's swordsmanship is passed down from family. It's different. You have your own talents. For example,
Meiqiang is not as good as you when it comes to writing and arithmetic, especially abacus. You are the most talented person I have ever seen."
"real?"
"Why are you lying to me? We are 'friends of gentlemen'."
"Can Li Jun teach me swordsmanship?"
"I'm actually very embarrassed by this request. It's not that I don't want to teach, but I really can't do it."
"Why?"
"I'm good at using tomahawks and hammers, but I really can't handle swords."
Miss Green Snake Spirit tilted her head and thought for a while, it seems that this is really the case.
But after a moment, she said again: "Then... Li Jun is going to Nuqiang's place tonight?"
"That was my original plan, but after thinking about it, I haven't chatted with you recently. Let's talk together tonight?"
"good!"
Looking down at Gui Zhen, whose face was full of brilliance, Commissioner Li had to admit that this girl was really... on point!
So damn beautiful!
…
When leaving Gui Zhen's place the next day, Gui Yao, who was pregnant with a big belly, came over to remind her not to play with snakes at this time. What would happen if she miscarried?
Commissioner Li thought that he had been talking about national affairs all night, and I didn't do any serious work. Unless this green snake spirit can still talk about national affairs, how could he have an abortion?
However, after being reminded, Commissioner Li thought that it would be better to talk to Gui Zhen less about national affairs in the future, as some people are just good at this.
I think back when he was still a foreman, there was an apprentice who didn't like anything else but weapons and equipment. When he went to the port to see the aircraft carrier, he actually took a hard look at it. How could he explain this?
It can be seen that different hobbies have different g-spots, so it is better to take it easy.
"Let's talk about food with Xiaoqing from now on."
Commissioner Li's eyes were firm and his hands clenched into fists, "There is no woman who cannot be solved by a plate of delicious braised pork. If so, have another plate!"
After washing up, Li Jie went directly to the construction site by the Huai River. At this moment, the length of the Huai River embankment reinforcement should be thirty miles.
The 30-mile-long Huaihe River has six or seven gates in addition to the newly built Dadi. The gates mainly for diversion and irrigation are lift-type. When needed, the winch will come into play, and when not needed
, that is, closed to ensure that the inland water volume is at a low level.
These days, there are so many swamps on both sides of the Huai River that large tracts of land have not been truly developed.
Li Jie was the first politician to transform both sides of the Huai River on a large scale since Xu Guo's death.
"General!"
"General!"
"General!"
…
In the canteen at the construction site, the bosses who were dining all stood up and saluted when they saw Li Jie arriving.
"Everybody sit down, everybody sit down..."
After pressing it with his hand, Li Jie ran to the cooking area to get a bowl of porridge, and then took one from a large bucket of cooked salted duck eggs.
In addition, the bosses can also give each person a piece of fermented fermented fermented fermented rice to drink porridge, which tastes just right.
White flour steamed buns are also available, but only squadron leaders and above can enjoy them.
In the beginning, it was natural fermentation, with a lot of miscellaneous bacteria. After several screenings, a stable "old noodle" was produced. Now the "yeast" in the entire Huaizhong City is from the same father.
It's a pity that there is no way to eat it open. Wheat rice is still the mainstay of wheat processing and it is very unpalatable.
After the food was improved, the slave workers were a bit picky, but they had no choice but to continue eating. With various cereals and steamed buns, it was actually fine.
Xilihulu filled two bowls of porridge. After Li Jie finished eating, he cleared away the bowls and chopsticks. After all the little bosses had finished eating, he asked: "Will the river embankment project be completed by the end of the month?"
"General, I can!"
"Um."
Li Jie nodded slightly, and then asked: "What is the river worker most worried about right now? Do you have statistics?"
"winter."
"winter."
"winter."
…
Almost in unison, everyone said it together.
Spending the winter is a big deal after all.
Moreover, the large house outside the west city of Huaizhong City is really attractive. Many river workers are asking whether this house is really for slave workers to live in. After getting a positive answer, the slave workers among the river workers,
In fact, they were all very excited and happy.
On the contrary, Zhengfa was a young man who was a little confused.
The houses in the countryside or villages are quite simple.
Building a house is a big project for ordinary savages or civilians. After all, building a house is also a systematic project. If it is small, it is too small. If it is not professional, it will really kill people.
When winter comes, it is normal for a large number of houses to collapse, burn, and decay...
In addition, the Jianghuai land is prone to freezing rain after winter. Snow and hail are fine, but freezing rain is the most disgusting. Thatched huts cannot survive the winter.
It's cold outside, and the humidity in the room has increased, making it even more chilly.
When Commissioner Li was still the head of Village Li and the head of Township Li, we relied on coal, charcoal, reed cattails, cattail grass, and animal skins to solve this problem, but this could only ensure that the area around Baisha Village would not be easily frozen to death. Most of the "Baisha"
The place is still the same as in previous years, it will die when it is time to die.
When winter arrives, the time has truly come.
After Li Jie had a preliminary idea of the most urgent needs of the river workers at the moment, he decided to do something about the winter issue.
After next spring, spring plowing will be the highlight, and the scale of spring plowing will be unprecedentedly large, requiring a lot of manpower.
Before that, it is necessary to accumulate enough tools, daily utensils, and vehicles. The amount of labor required for manual manufacturing is also unprecedented, and a large part of it obviously requires temporary workers.
The young people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are very suitable temporary workers.
Li Jie's idea was to use the cold to survive the winter to trade labor force. For the soldiers who followed Li Jie to earn a living, what they needed was cash, status, and honor. Although the land was good, they had no desire to cultivate it themselves, and to develop it.
I didn’t know how much land costs before, but now I know it.
Chinese people may still think that "those who have permanent property have perseverance", so it would be good to get a piece of their own land and pass it on.
But the savages, those of barbarian origin, prefer to "eat rent". The land ownership is still there, but the use rights are distributed by Li Jie. The economic output of the manor is much better than waiting to receive the goods after investing it yourself.
The main reason is to "guarantee a bumper harvest despite droughts and floods". Soldiers don't have to worry about too many things themselves. As long as the Li Jie Group pays wages every month and pays dividends at the end of the year, that's pretty good.
It's just that operating the land requires labor after all. If the soldiers don't want to do it themselves, they can only let others come to see it.
Either slave labor or hired labor.
And right now, the civilian laborers who have been recruited on a large construction site around Huaizhong City are actually very good candidates for employment.
At the same time, the form of payment can also be diversified. Originally, grain, cloth, and even Jiangyin round-hole money were used, but now, the concept of "warming against the cold and surviving the winter" is also a means of payment.
For example, if you used to spend the winter in a shack in your hometown, you can now spend the winter in a house near Huaizhong City as long as you work.
After winter is over, it’s time to leave.
It is also a means of payment to allow people to spend the winter around Huaizhong City with a little ease.
Thinking of this, Li Jie planned to go to Xincai and discuss it with the bad old man who was the "regent" of Cai State.
