After Dressing Up As a Princess, Engaged In Infrastructure Construction

The morning's Plenum is over.

Because the meeting will continue in the afternoon, the delegates cannot leave. The lunch is also at the inn outside Wanmin Square.

But before eating, they were also interviewed by various newspapers.

For example, today's Grandma Zhu and Sun Huang must be interviewed as key figures, and the others will be released if they say a few words at will.

At times like this, newspapers can’t just scribble. Whoever is the chief writer is responsible for the interviews, so the reporters are serious about the interviews.

By the time the delegates finished their meal, a batch of newspapers had already been printed.

"Isn't this too fast?" said the son of the Chaozhou coal mine owner who was holding the newspaper. "Is that so many copies printed?"

His colleague smiled and said: "I heard that the propaganda department has already prepared for such a grand event, and you see, these manuscripts have been interviewed before, and these are the interviews completed today. The layout is ready, just waiting to be printed.”

"Furthermore, the printing department is doing its best to print today's newspapers, so it's not surprising that it can come out at noon."

The son of the coal mine owner was still very surprised. He only knew that after printing and paper innovation, it would be easier to print what to print, but he didn't know the specific process. He always felt that it would take many days.

He said, "But this newspaper... let's read it, do we still have to buy it?"

Colleagues thought his question was really funny, "Naturally, I want to buy it. The propaganda department will use this to make money. Those of us who participated, especially those who did interviews, are also their target audience. They must know that we will buy it. That's why I came here to sell in large quantities."

Who doesn't want to see how the newspapers write about themselves? How do you write about political enemies?

Just have to buy it anyway.

So we have to buy one copy of each edition, from this newspaper to that newspaper, and some private newspapers, and even take the headlines to grab attention.

For example, a newspaper called Kyoto Common People's Miscellaneous wrote in large font: Shocked! Kyoto turned out to be—

One person complained: "This newspaper...really...with such a large font, it is difficult to carve for them."

But when I saw it, I wanted to buy it. What was the shock? I needed to use such a large font. What happened to Kyoto? Anyway, it's itchy, and it's not expensive. Just buy it.

But when I bought it, I found it fooled.

The title is: Shocked, such an extraordinary grandma appeared in Kyoto.

The title was supposed to be about how grandma Zhu's speech was out of the ordinary, but the article only briefly touched on what Grandma Zhu said. Instead, it said that grandma Zhu was a tofu seller, because she sold tofu, and she woke up early every day.

"In the past few years in Kyoto, women have gone out of the house, and they wake up early and go to the dark like a grandmother every day. So tired, the skin is naturally bad, and it is easy to age quickly. Now in the Kingdom of Yu, women are working hard, so they have to be kind to themselves."

"If we women treat ourselves badly, it's not others who suffer, but only ourselves. So, what are you waiting for? You can take home the new toner from Meirenzhai for just a tael of silver."

The person who bought the newspaper: "…"

He thought about it for a while, and felt that this newspaper was not good for evaluation, and he always felt awkward, but you couldn't deny that it was wrong. It was always more and more difficult for women, not only to go out to work, but also to take care of the family.

Forget it, if there is still time after the conference today, buy a bottle for my wife and go back to try it.

There are not a few such newspapers. Many people who have never seen the world are funny and curious. They bought it and read it, and they were cheated of money in the end. I will not mention it later.

Suffice it to say that the delegates went in for a meeting again today, and business tax was brought up in the afternoon.

How much is the appropriate business tax? How should the tax be collected for the merchants of the Yu Kingdom and other merchants? Also, can there be more duty-free shops today? Wenzhou has just ended the war, can we open duty-free shops?

This is a big issue. It will take more than one afternoon. Not only one person needs to be said, but also one person collapsed on the spot and cried, fainted, and let the medical staff waiting here carry it out. Diagnosis and treatment took half an hour.

-It was because in the afternoon, Mr. Sun Xiang from the Ministry of Commerce came to sit here. Although he didn't speak or write, he just sat and listened quietly, but it also made some people with poor psychological quality nervous.

The person who fainted may not have prepared the manuscript in advance, and some things were not very thorough, so he was very nervous, and then he seemed to see Lord Sun Xiang frowning, and he thought it was what he said that was offended by Sun. Mr. Xiang's dissatisfaction, the frightened face immediately turned pale, crying, and finally fell back, frightening the person to death.

Even Sun Xiang herself was extremely helpless, and then she deliberately put a smile on her face.

Sun Xiang: "…"

pain.

At this time, she finally knew why Her Highness the Crown Princess had a gentle expression on her face at all times. It's too hard.

So as soon as the afternoon meeting was over, he left directly, and when no one was there, his face became gloomy, which was more difficult than a day's worth.

Sun Xiang left, and the rest of the people were much more relaxed. Niu Dabao happened to meet Aunt Zhu when he was going out, and he stepped forward and said, "Mrs Zhu, my surname is Niu, the father of Dan Qing and Dan Zhu, and the two children often Thank you so much for telling me you took care of them."

Grandma Zhu's face was a little guilty, thinking that she wanted to kidnap Dan Qing and go home to inherit the tofu workshop. Who knew that the knife in the back was cutting heads, not tofu.

However, his own thoughts have never been revealed, and Niu Dabao still doesn't know it.

The two had met before, but it was only because of Xu Beiyan's mother and daughter, so she nodded her head at that time, without any formal introduction, so after making up for it, Niu Dabao was grateful and said with admiration, "Your speech this morning. , that's really good, after I heard it, as long as I think of the freedom of my family's Danzhu life in the future, I will be grateful to you in my heart."

I wish Grandma's face softened, and said: "Dan Zhu and my family A Li are both good children. I also hope that she will be well. I hope that the girls in the world will live better than us since we started."

Just as she was talking, she saw Wan'er coming to look for her. I wished my grandma to say goodbye to Niu Dabao quickly, and then went to ask Wan'er, "Why are you still here?"

Wan'er said: "Today's meeting, Aunt Xu came to sell melon seeds and said she would wait for me here, but I didn't look at her, grandma, look for me, they are there, I haven't been able to find them."

Grandma Zhu helped her to look around, and then saw An Chaosheng, who lived with Wan'er, running here, and said with a smile, "It is estimated that someone else will pick you up."

An Chaosheng's face was flushed, and he wanted to be a scholar. He was very inactive, and he didn't do heavy work on weekdays. He came running out of breath, thinking it was the biggest effort in a year.

I wish Grandma clapped Wan'er's hand clearly and left by herself. She doesn't get involved in young people's affairs, and her old man is still waiting to go home and grind tofu.

Wan'er's heart sank, but an unspeakable excitement surged up again. She looked at An Chaosheng and didn't ask any more questions, just said, "Where's Aunt Xu?"

An Chaosheng gasped and said, "Aunt Xu didn't come to sell melon seeds this afternoon. She said that someone asked her to work with her to open a melon seed shop. I was discussing with them. I had nothing to do, so I came."

After he finished speaking, he said, "Do you want to go back now?"

Wan'er nodded, "Go back."

Who would have thought that just after taking two steps, a representative said to this side: "Slut—"

Wan'er glared back fiercely, but saw that An Chaosheng was faster than her, and his hand had already greeted her. At first, two people fought, and then there was a fight, but I don't know when the scolding man came, so he stepped forward and beat An Chaosheng as well.

On the other hand, because An Chaosheng was a relative of Lord Sun Xiang yesterday, the cousin of Lord Xuesheng’s direct disciple, and the cousin of an unknown official in the Propaganda Department, he had "become famous", and at this time he was beating someone with a cheap mouth. , so a group of law school students came forward one after another, and just like that, a group fight broke out.

On the contrary, it was the girl Wan'er who had been strong and did not cry, insisted on standing up to propose a motion, and exposed her pain and scars to others. At this time, her lips trembled and she cried.

Not for those who scold her, but for those who defend her at this time.

Sun Xiang and Zhe Qing, who were standing not far from her, didn't move either, and watched silently. A gust of wind blew and raised her gauze hat, allowing Sun Xiang to see the smile on the corner of Her Royal Highness's mouth.

I just heard Her Highness the Crown Princess say with a smile, "Ah Xiang, the spring sun is here."

…

"Spring is here! It's not raining yet!"

At the same time, a farmer from Chu State said: "We will sow seeds at the end of March. There is no rain. How do we sow seeds? What should we do?"

This is a small farm on the border near the State of Lu. In the evening, the people from the small village gathered together and said, "Lizheng, you have to think of a way. Now we are fighting against the State of Lu, which was confiscated last year. If our food is not harvested this year, we will starve to death.”

"Yeah, our food was directly confiscated, and we didn't get anything."

Li Zheng was also worried, but he was an official after all, he broke a handful of grass in his hand, looked at the sparse grass and sighed: "Don't talk nonsense, the soldiers also gave us money for our food."

The first person to speak said: "Don't mention the silver, how much is the silver? Three boys, you can't be confused. There are still a hundred people in our village."

He was being called the third boy there, and he was not angry. There were relatives everywhere in this village. It was either the grandfather or the third grandfather.

He said, "Fourth Master, I know what's going on, but it doesn't rain, what can I do? I can't do anything about the imperial court's quest for food."

But no one believed this, and his fourth master directly shook his careful thoughts, "Third boy, don't blindly clear up what you just did, otherwise the soldier doesn't look too much, why don't you ask for it? The grain of other Zhuangzi will be levied on you.”

When Li Zheng saw the eyes of his fourth master, he panicked. Yes, he wanted to show his face in front of the adults from Kyoto, but he also thought about the people in Zhuangzi, and the grain left behind could be eaten until the harvest season, but this year, it seems that there is a severe drought.

This drought has delayed planting, so this year will not be better.

But things have happened, and he can't do it.

He sighed, "Fourth Master, I really can't help it."

His fourth master sneered, "Third boy, don't sigh, I have a good idea here. You invited that soldier, how much rebate did you take from us when you sold the grain? Take the money and go to Yushang. Go buy some sweet potatoes and sweet potato seedlings, it will be better this year."

Li Zheng's expression changed immediately, "I didn't take any rebates, don't talk nonsense."

The third master: "Your mother said it long ago. Everyone is not you. It's just that people are going to starve to death this year. We can't do anything about it. That's why I told you."

Then the second uncle also came out and said: "Yes, the third boy, don't be ignorant of your conscience. Back then, when you chose this Lizheng, we also collected money and food. Which children in this village don't call you uncle? Have you thought about it, you are greedy for so much money, will it be worth it when our village starves to death in the future?"

Li was panicked by what they said. He wanted to be promoted, but he was not without conscience. What's more, all the people in this village are dead, and his lizheng is gone.

"Things have not come to this point, can it not rain tomorrow?"

He still wanted to struggle.

Who knew that his fourth master took out a newspaper with the word Yu written on it.

The people in the village also understood the newspapers and the word "Yu" by him and the fourth master, so when the fourth master showed him, the other three masters were all staring at him.

Li Zheng sighed. Even if there are only two people who can understand it, one of them is himself, and he has also rejected the idea of ​​making things up and said: "Yes, this newspaper said that it is afraid that it will be difficult to rain this year, and a severe drought has started."

It was confirmed by another person, not only his three uncles, but all the Zhuangzi people who were guarding here were crying.

"What can we do? It's going to kill people when it's dry."

"Yeah, we're out of food."

"It's still fighting, and people are still dying."

"It's not just this year, we're going to stay up until this time next year."

"Yes, we have been fighting wars all the time. The court has food, so it will be given to the soldiers. Where will our turn be?"

But no one thought that what the newspaper said was wrong. It was Li Zheng, who didn't dare to speak after seeing that the newspaper's name was the logo of Yu Guo Daily.

Because Yuguo Daily is the imperial newspaper of Yuguo, what's more, the author of this article "There is a severe drought in the sky, all states should prepare in advance" wrote the five characters of the emperor's daughter Zheqing.

These two words are known to everyone. It was written by the concubine of the Emperor Yu of the Kingdom of China, and it was definitely after a lot of argumentation that she made this statement.

Otherwise, which prince would dare to cause panic?

Li Zheng said with difficulty: "Otherwise, I will discuss with the Zhuangzi next door to see what they are planting. You all know that these sweet potatoes are not rice after all. Our fields are for rice. Said that there is no rice that should have been harvested, and there is no sweet potato."

He also has his own pain, "We've only heard of this sweet potato, but haven't seen the human race. The Yu people are cunning. What if there is any back-up? If there is no back-up, we can't grow sweet potatoes. Isn't it futile to work hard and miss the planting season, and it will be bad."

This is true, so we began to discuss.

But when Li Zheng arrived at Zhuangzi next door, he saw that Li Zheng from their house was also sighing, and when he asked, he just didn't have enough sweet potato seedlings.

"It is said that there are many sweet potato seeds. As long as they grow, they can be inserted. The seedlings also grow a lot, which is enough to buy. It's just that people in other places don't know where they know that there are seedlings in Yushang, so they go crazy. grab."

He poured a glass of water for Li Zheng and said, "Don't think about it, you can't grab it now, and we don't buy much."

It was only at this time that Lizheng knew he was afraid, and his hands and feet were cold, "Why, why did everyone grab it together? Didn't they plant them in previous years?"

The other Lizheng said: "Hey, our Chu country is not to Yuyi and Yu Shang... What, the government said that it is not allowed to learn the things of the Yu country, and there is a Lu country across, so it didn't come, but Hasn't Lu Guo been beaten down now? Well, I said more than half of them were beaten down."

"The news state keeps sending things here, like sweet potatoes, soybeans, repairing canals and dams, it's crazy."

Although he said it was crazy, it was an envious tone.

When it comes to the end, I already yearn for it very much. "Now Wenzhou, Sizhou and Yaozhou are all busy and busy, and we are going to live a good life, but we are still worried about food."

…

"Listen to me, don't build canals, but build dams, but not here, in other places, those who are willing to go here to sign up for fingerprinting."

Shao Xianyuan, wearing a safety helmet, shouted to a group of people, "Don't make a noise, whoever makes a noise will not be accepted."

As soon as these words came out, it was the biggest deterrent.

Shao Xianyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Continue: "Come one by one, come in line."

A few years ago, after Xuzhou was beaten down, Shao Xianyuan took the initiative to go to Xuzhou to repair the road. Because his father was the minister of the Ministry of Industry and was related to the shepherd family in Xuzhou, he had risen quickly enough in Xuzhou these years.

However, after being promoted, Shao Xianyuan felt very empty in his heart. Yes, he felt empty. When building roads, he can constantly organize people to build roads, so many people listen to his words, and he is getting better and better at building roads.

But sitting in Xuzhou's government office, what can he do? There are not many cases he presides every day - let alone this he does not understand!

So he secretly found the shepherd's family to change his position and sent him to Chaozhou, which was about to be built. As soon as Chaozhou finished building the road, the court attacked Wenzhou again. Good guy, he couldn't restrain himself from building the road, so he went to Wenzhou overnight to build the road.

But at this time, the imperial court issued a decree, saying that the road construction will not be done this year, and that the entire prefecture will be used to start the construction of canals and dams. Because he was considered "experienced in construction sites" anyway, Wenzhou didn't let him stay and went directly to Yaozhou.

Following the decree, there was also a little girl named Aguyan. This little girl is now known as the "Master Touching Stone", as long as she stands there, she can lead people to find the best place to start.

Today, building dams is not just about culture. For example, what ridge to look at - what is this, Shao Xianyuan doesn't know, but he knows that it is right to listen to this little girl.

Moreover, compared with building roads, building dams has an additional artifact.

Dynamite!

Shao Xianyuan's eyes lit up when he remembered this. These days, the rumbling sound from time to time has always been the pride of his heart.

This pride made his walking posture a little awkward, because he took care of A Guyan in every possible way and the information he could provide A Guyan from his road construction experience, A Guyan was also very kind to him.

Seeing that he likes blasting, he asked him to step up and follow the technicians to do it himself.

That feeling, really, tsk, like a fairy.

"Master Shao—" He was reminiscing about the blasting feeling before when he heard A Guyan calling him.

A Guyan was accompanied by a person, and Shao Xianyuan knew that it was her subordinate official. According to the recent fashionable introduction, it is A Guyan's assistant who does chores for A Guyan.

However, Shao Xianyuan did not dare to offend others, and said with a smile, "Aguyan, Marquis of Pingyang."

The Marquis of Pingyang said immediately, "Master Shao, you're welcome, just call me directly to heal."

After a pause, he said again: "This is the word that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess sent me before I left."

Shao Xianyuan: "…"

What a joy.

He didn't answer, but said, "Why are you here today?"

A Guyan said, "Master Shao, I beg you for one thing."

Shao Xianyuan was very alert, "What is it? It may not be possible to do it next time."

After all, he was just an ordinary road repairer.

Aguyan said: "The Marquis of Pingyang has a cousin who recognizes the word Yu and has also read books. He became cynical a few years ago, but now he knows that he was wrong and wants a chance to repent, so he thought of being a small steward at the construction site. , follow you to learn how to repair canals and dams, okay?"

There is nothing wrong with this. This Yaozhou has just been laid, and there are few people who know the word Yu. It is naturally possible to come to someone who can manage people. What's more, it's just a small manager, even if there is no cousin of the Marquis of Pingyang, he also has to be promoted from the common people.

So he nodded in agreement without hesitation, and said, "It's too late today, just call him tomorrow."

A Guyan also learned some trading methods, and said gratefully: "Master Shao, there is another place to be demolished today, do you want to follow it?"

Shao Xianyuan also said excitedly: "Of course! I am willing to go."

He left happily, and Aguyan said to the Marquis of Pingyang: "Look, Master Shao likes to play cannonballs, you give him a cannonball and he will be very happy. But this also makes him suffer too much, I will teach more in the future. He's got a little geography—I promise not to scold him like anyone else."

Marquis of Pingyang: "..."

Do you call that explosive a cannonball? What did Miss Xuesheng teach Aguyan?

Because A Guyan was a child, she pretended to be kind at first, but the more she taught the geography base, the more sad she became.

In the end, there was no way to do it. Seeing that there was no way to continue teaching, Her Royal Highness said, let someone protect her and the apprentices to come to the field to investigate.

Geography has to be seen on the ground to know some truths. Knowledge on paper is shallow.

So came here.

Traveling alone and being protected by a real hundred people, Pingyang Hou was very relieved that she appeared at the construction site. The two continued to walk forward, seeing her disciples carrying equipment and Shao Xianyuan, who seemed to be about to become an immortal. When he came, A Guyan sighed again: "Look, play a cannonball battle and get excited about him."

The Marquis of Pingyang couldn't bear it any longer, "That's explosives, not artillery battles, it's very powerful."

Aguyan paused, looked at him with pity in his eyes, and said, "In the future, I will take you to see the cannon, and you will know that this is really called a cannon battle."
