Crossing with Baidu To Farm

Vol 4 Chapter 9: New Summer City!

Because of the name of the city, Xia Jinhua and Sikongjue had been arguing for a few days.

In fact, when Sikongjue proposed to change Biancheng into Xiacheng, Xia Jinhua was also moved.

But on the second day of the name change, when Xia Jinhua visited the army, he heard a few hairy soldiers hiding in the corner and talking secretly.

A: "Why is it called Xiacheng?"

B: "The city owner said that the four seasons here are like summer, and the heat is deadly, so it is called Xiacheng!"

C: "Fart, because the advisor's surname is Xia, so it's called Xiacheng!"

Ding: "It is said that the advisor was not originally named Xia, and the city lord gave him the surname 'Xia' to remind the advisor at any time that he is the one below."

A B C D: "Hee hee hee hee..."

Xia Jinhua: "I bought a bean paste bag last year!"

She has always appeared in the army as a strategist, and is still the leader of the Green Army. Most of the army only regards her as a man. Only the few thousand people who knew that she was also part-time Sikongjue was still the invisible woman in Xiacheng. Lady of the mayor.

Nowadays, everyone thinks that Sikong Jue is a broken sleeve, who doesn't like red makeup and strategists, so many girls with yellow flowers are turned away, and they concentrate on pampering the delicate flower of strategist, no, tender grass.

Everyone is not surprised, and occasionally there are some behind-the-scenes discussions.

These words reached Xia Jinhua's ears, but it was incredible. He finally understood Sikong Jue's sinister intentions, and he didn't sleep with him for several days.

The poor new city lord of Xiacheng was beaten for a while, and was driven into the military camp outside the city. The city lord's mansion was occupied by the advisers. There are still a lot of things to come down, give everyone a few days to calm down and things will be fine.

Sikong Jue went to the military camp and began to rectify the discipline of the army. He organized the prisoners who voluntarily surrendered into a prison camp according to Xia Jinhua's intention. The wounded were recruited, military doctors were recruited, the deceased were registered, pensions were distributed to their families, recruits were trained, and provisions were raised...

Sikong Jue was as busy as a spinning top, and he couldn't see a shadow in the army, and Xia Jinhua in the city was not well. He was so busy every day. Extreme desire, countless wealth, and countless fertile fields under the name of the city owner outside the city.

As for the distribution of these properties and fertile fields, Xia Jinhua summoned the person in charge of the first shot in the city and the well-respected members to discuss it.

After the massacre, the civilians of Xiacheng were killed and injured countless times, and the **** cases were heavy. Some leaders of the big families in the city were even murdered.

In ancient times, there was no street office, and when something happened, it was reported to the official directly, or the family leader and others were asked to adjust it. He took out the city lord's privately stored tea and cooked it to entertain guests.

In the discussion hall, the fragrance of tea was wafting, and Xia Jinhua's grand and thick voice resonated everywhere, with the spirit of when he was an instructor.

This time, twenty or thirty prominent figures of the city lord came, and Xia Jinhua read them the advice on the handling of the property in the city lord's mansion.

A batch of property was used as a pension to be distributed to those whose family members were killed or injured during the massacre.

A batch of property was distributed to the homeless people as settlement expenses.

A batch of property will be used as a resettlement fee for refugees.

...

Xia Jinhua read out the sample handling opinion that he had made, and everyone looked at the booklet in their hands and listened to Xia Jinhua.

After Xia Jinhua finished reading, everyone raised different opinions.

Generally speaking, the big households in this Xiacheng are still very willing to cooperate.

This Xia Jinhua is better than the previous city lord, at least the annual tax is not as much as the previous one.

After discussing for half a day, I figured out what to do with that batch of property. Except for the payment of pensions, resettlement expenses, etc., the rest were all used to build roads and bridges.

In fact, the big households are still a little unwilling. They have paid a lot of money and should be refunded, but they dare not say it. It seems that the new city owner is still very difficult to mess with.

It is said that he is the star of Wuqu.

After discussing the distribution of property, Xia Jinhua began to fiddle with the issue of setting up sub-district offices and urban management.

In the past, if there was anything in the city, it was sent to the city lord's mansion. Where did the city lord have something to manage those matters, creating a lot of unjust cases that were difficult to deal with.

As soon as Xia Jinhua entered the city, he carried out drastic reforms to the organizational form of the City Lord's Mansion.

First, imitating the imperial court, setting up six departments, in charge of various affairs, recruiting talents, setting up the imperial examination system, holding the autumn examination immediately, recruiting talents in the city, imitating the civil service system, and appointing talented people.

Second, divide the city into several districts, and set up a separate yamen in each district. Cases are handled directly at the district yamen. If the district yamen cannot handle it, it is reported to the city lord's mansion for processing. The district yamen reports the work situation every month, and the city lord The government has set up a petition office, and if there is an unfair judgment against the district yamen, the people will go to the petition office to file a complaint, etc.

Third, set up a sub-district office. The trivial matters that occur in the sub-district can be adjusted by the sub-district office. If people have any opinions, they can also go to the sub-district office for suggestions. Once a criminal case occurs, the sub-district office Report to the District Yamen immediately.

Fourth, the establishment of urban management, responsible for the city's law and order, maintain traffic and deal with emergencies and so on.

...

Sikong Jue presided over the overall situation in the military camp every day and stabilized the military's morale, and Xia Jinhua handled things in the rear.

In addition, Xia Jinhua discussed with everyone and established a new Ministry of Commerce on the basis of the original six departments.

The responsibility of the Ministry of Commerce is to conduct macro-control over the market, intervene in unfair competition, handle complaints from private consumers, etc., and most importantly, manage the city's treasury to generate more income for the city owner.

In the past, the income of the city lord's mansion mainly came from extortionate and extortionate.

After Jue General Sikong's army was stabilized and the construction of the beacon tower was instructed, he returned to the city. The situation in the city was different.

The originally messy streets have been cleaned up, and the hawkers from the stalls came out to shout again. The city officials patrolled the city to divert the traffic in the city, and the people who came and went were busy.

Refugees are no longer visible. As long as they are homeless, or come in from outside, they will go to the sub-district office to count their age, expertise, work experience, etc., and naturally relevant departments will allocate work.

Now, when people are needed in the city, the refugees have been properly resettled to relevant positions.

Sikong Jue looked at the orderliness in the city and was very satisfied.

It's nice to have a counselor!

When I returned to the City Lord's Mansion, I saw that Xia Jinhua was busy, and was dealing with news from all over the world. The four major city gates were bombed and had to be built. Many residential buildings in the city were burned and registered. Awaiting processing.

Xia Jinhua's solution was to bring in a batch of lumber to make a temporary wooden house, and then move in uniformly after the house was repaired.

The City Lord's Mansion put forward the concept of public rental housing, and will build a large number of public rental housing in a unified manner. Building buildings to save land in the city will cost a lot of money, all of which will be paid by Xia Jinhua.

But there is another problem involved. The property in the city lord's mansion is almost distributed and cannot be misappropriated casually. She has to go to Cang'er country to find the Qianjia Qianzhuang to pick up the silver.

It took a lot of time to come and go, and the journey was not peaceful. Cang'er and Wu'an were at war. Fortunately, Qian's Qianzhuang was widely distributed in the Three Kingdoms and Chanzhou, so they were divided into two roads and went to Chan separately. The cities of the state and the proud come to the country to withdraw money.

But you have to make an appointment in advance, and you have to go in the name of Sikongjue.

However, he was afraid that a large amount of silver would flow into Xiacheng and cause inflation and prices to soar.

Xia Jinhua can be described as busy.

When Sikong Jue came back, she saw her with a steamed bun in her mouth, walking around with various documents in the temporary departments set up in the city lord's mansion. When her husband came back, she didn't have time to go. take care of.

He also took the initiative to share part of Xia Jinhua's tasks and acted like a city lord.

Xiacheng operates in an orderly manner, and each department plays its own role in maintaining the operation of the city.

That night, Xia Jinhua, who had been tired all day, hurriedly took a shower, went to the bed, and then fell asleep. When she saw Sikong Jue approaching, she opened her eyes, her face stinks, and said coldly, "Go to bed. "

Sikong Jue knew that she was still arguing with him, so he honestly said, "Okay, go to bed."

It was already autumn, but Xiacheng, which was like summer all year round, was still sweltering, so Sikong Jue honestly made a floor and slept beside her bed.

After sleeping for a while, Sikong Jue kept staring at Xia Jinhua's sleeping position, listening to the sound of breathing, he knew that she was not asleep yet.

"Ma'am, it's late at night and the ground is cold."

The implication - for the husband cold, to go to bed!

Xia Jinhua didn't move, didn't speak, didn't move, Sikong Jue was overjoyed, knowing that was the default meaning.

He hurriedly put away the floor, went to bed, hugged the little waist and fell asleep, Xia Jinhua moved into the bed to make room for the big man behind him.

The two couples fell asleep, Xia Jinhua lay in Sikong Jue's arms, and finally fell asleep, and fell asleep after a while.

In the haze, it seemed that Bai Wuchang's voice was heard again.

"Little devil, you are in trouble!"

"Breakthrough?" Xia Jinhua was shocked.

Bai Wuchang hummed: "Your man pretended to be Wu Quxing and cheated. Yesterday Wu Quxing caught me and beat me up."

Xia Jinhua was speechless, did he really bump into the righteous master?

"Then, what should I do?"

Bai Wuchang cried, "Wu Quxing beat me up, and I was bitten and beaten by Zhenjun Erlang's roaring dog, and he asked me to tell you something."

"What?"

"Your man is Yang Jian, who has gone down to earth for a long time. For his sake, he will tolerate the nonsense of your little devil. You must help Zhenjun well, help him return to heaven in the early days of the calamity, and send you to be a man in the next life. Otherwise, in the next life, I will let you be a pig who will not survive the Chinese New Year."

Xia Jinhua: "..."

But she didn't have time to think about why she, the little devil who smuggled in because of a mistake in the work of the ghost courier, can happily continue to smuggle after being discovered by the superior...

When he woke up the next day, Xia Jinhua was in a daze, lying on the bed trying hard to recall the conversation in his dream last night, but he couldn't remember one or two, as if he remembered a few words - help your man well, Otherwise, you will become a pig's head in your next life!

She felt that her body was extremely tired, and when she saw it, she realized that she was naked. She seemed to remember that Sikong Jue climbed onto her body again last night and did something shameful. Impermanence was talking, and after a while, Sikong Jue whispered in his ear, panting heavily.

It was empty beside her, she was startled, and seeing that the sun was getting better outside, she hurriedly called, "Dongnu, what time is it now?"

Dong Nu picked up the curtain with a smile, came in and said to Xia Jinhua, "Ma'am, it's time now!"

"It's time!" Xia Jinhua's heart shook for a while, and hurriedly said, "Bring me my notebook!"

Xia Jinhua has a notebook, a thick volume. She used charcoal to record her busy affairs and progress during this time in detail, and part of it is her daily schedule. There are too many things, and I am afraid that I will forget it. Now, they have made a table.

Dong Nu smiled again: "Ma'am, the city lord took your book and went out at the time of the hour, saying that he was going to do these things, and you will have a good rest in the past few days."

"have they gone?"

Xia Jinhua hugged her knees and watched the sunlight outside the window fall on her dressing table. It was as if she had just turned over when she saw a back figure covering the sunlight, sitting on the dressing table with her back facing the light. He was holding the book and watching it carefully, as if he noticed her turning over, he turned around, the sun was so drenched that the hard facial lines seemed to be real or fake like a dream, and he could still see the corners of his lips pursed. A smile.

I thought it was my dream, but it turned out that the figure of that person entered the dream...

She remembered that today's schedule seemed to be to inspect the site that was found by the Ministry of Engineering for the construction of temporary resettlement houses, to see a large number of fertile fields outside the city by the former city owner, to inspect the construction of the neighborhood committee and the location of the district yamen, etc. .

Seeing Xia Jinhua's silent appearance, Dong Nu went out and brought in the food, and even added meat. Xia Jinhua has been eating poorly recently. There are too many things every day, so he eats a steamed bun and can't sleep for two hours a day. exhausted.

"Madam, the city lord is back, you can take a rest today." Dong Nu brought the food, and Xia Jinhua felt hungry, so he hurriedly ate some food, wiped his mouth and slapped his mouth with a hair tie. He tied his hair and went out again.

Seeing outside, the sun was just right, and the entire Xiacheng was bathed in light, as if it was a gift from heaven, giving Xiacheng a new life it had never had before.

"Ouch—" Big Wolf ran over from Xia Jinhua's feet, and Sangouzi was sitting on its back, fluttering in the wind.

"啾!" Si Gouzi and Xiao Si were flying together in the sky, very happy.

Xia Jinhua has been busy for the past few days. Now that he has settled down, he feels that the scene in front of him seems to have a sense of a world away.

She sat for a while, and then went back to work.

Xiacheng is in ruins, especially the food problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible. A large number of refugees have poured in this year. Xiacheng wants to settle them down and pay them for their work. The issues of housing and food are the top priorities.

Xia Jinhua doesn't know how much grain is in the city, but the stock of the city lord's mansion is completely insufficient. Now that the refugees have entered the city, they need a lot of grain. The city lord and merchants should have a lot of grain in stock. The problem needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

In addition, before fertilizer and cement became popular in Chanzhou, Xia Jinhua made up his mind to build a fertilizer and cement workshop.

However, these two things require a lot of minerals. It is not easy to buy a large amount at once, and it is long-term. You have to find a fixed business, but now she is not familiar with the business in Chanzhou, so she looks for someone. After some discussion, I learned that there are many mines near Yancheng, and the minerals that Xia Jinhua needs can basically be obtained from Yancheng.

Xia Jinhua immediately decided to go to Yancheng to find Murong Qian to discuss the mineral cooperation, and strive to produce fertilizer and soil bag amendments before the spring ploughing next year.

Before the sun went down, Sikong Jue rode a fast horse all the way back to the city lord's mansion. When he came back, he saw Xia Jinhua busy everywhere, obviously in a much better spirit than yesterday.

Sikong Jue stepped forward briskly, and placed his hand on Xia Jinhua's shoulder naturally. When everyone saw this intimate scene, it was not surprising that they were still busy with their own work.

The courtyards in the City Lord's Mansion are regarded as different departments, and they have been busy these days.

Seeing Sikongjue coming back, Xia Jinhua told Sikongjue that he planned to go to Yancheng to buy minerals.

Sikong Jue also had this intention, and said: "Yancheng has many minerals, and there will be no less cooperation in the future. Why don't we set off tomorrow."

On the second day, the two of them set off in gear and headed towards Yancheng.

Going to Yancheng, if you come back quickly, it will only take two days, but this time everyone is riding horses, walking slowly between the two cities, and not on the main road.

Sikong Jue took the map between the two places and walked between the mountains, exploring the mountains, rivers and mountain roads between the two places, but he was actually talking about a new road.

The road between Yancheng and Xiacheng is too winding. If it is to transport goods, I am afraid that it will take too much time, so it is better to find another way.

The road between the two cities is fairly smooth, but there are also many mountains and rivers. The rivers and lakes are intermittent, blocking many roads. If it is to build a bridge, it will cost too much, so it has to be detoured, so there are many wrong roads in vain.

If you want to be rich, you must build roads first. If Xiacheng wants to be rich today, the first thing is to open up external trade routes, so as to attract merchants and facilitate the transportation of food and other goods.

Everyone walked on the avenue, Xia Jinhua looked at the map in his hand and discussed with Sikong Jue from time to time, and from time to time he drew unknown lines on the map.

There is a big river between the two cities. The river is curved. Although the water flow is gentle, the river is too wide to build a bridge. Because of this big river, the caravan has to make a detour. Ships often have accidents, and over time, no one is willing to go by water, and prefer to take a detour.

And there are many thieves on the road, and there are several famous nests, so the trade route is blocked.

There were several people who were in charge of the former Biancheng City Lord's mansion along with them. They were familiar with the nearby roads. Later, they resigned, and Xia Jinhua incorporated them into the Ministry of Works.

This time he came out with her.

There were also guards such as Huluwa Antarctica, a group of more than a dozen people.

It turned out that there were thieves on the way, but no one responded to this situation. Xia Jinhua hurriedly took out his memo and wrote it down.

Naturally, Sikong Jue did the job of exterminating the bandits.

On the map, Sikong Jue marked all the dens of the bandits, and drew the details of the lakes and rivers. After some visits, when he arrived at the foot of Yancheng, it was already seven or eight. day later.

That night, when they were stationed outside the city, they spread out the map and looked at it in detail.

Everyone gathered in one place, and with that light, a charcoal pen in Xia Jinhua's hand drew a line on the map, connecting the lake and the river.

"From everyone's point of view, this big river and this lake have forced the business road to detour. If these sections of roads can be dug into a river channel, can the waterway be connected? It will become a new river that leads directly from Yancheng to Xiacheng! "

Immediately, officials from the Ministry of Industry raised objections, saying: "Theoretically, it is feasible, but we have been walking all the way these days and found that here, here, and this place are impossible to repair. , if it is forcibly cultivated, it will take too much manpower!"

The points that the official pointed out were all hillsides. If you want to build a canal, those hillsides must be resolved, but how to solve it is a problem.

If it was done manually, the workload would be unimaginable.

Sikong Jue looked at the map, understood what Xia Jinhua meant, and said with a mysterious smile, "This city lord naturally knows about this."

Officials of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce do not know why.

Xia Jinhua used a notebook to carefully record the eradication of the bandits and the digging of a new canal a year ago. In addition, he had to use the glider and conduct some aerial surveys to completely determine the location.

After a night of silence, on the second day, everyone tidied up and went into the city in neat clothes to meet Murong Qian, the lord of Yancheng City.

In other words, Murong Qian had been worried for the past few days, probably because he was afraid that Sikongjue would kidnap his daughter, and he was worried for a few days because he was afraid of hearing that Sikongjue's name.

Murong Xiu and Murong Ge also seemed to be very worried, and Murong Xiu didn't go back to the mountain, and concentrated on dealing with the affairs of the city in the city.

Recently, Murong Yan seems to be in a daze all by herself, and at first glance, she looks like she is trapped by love!

Immediately, Murong Qian and his son were anxious.

Seeing that her daughter, who had been raised with great difficulty, was now thinking of other people, Murong Qian had bitter tears to shed.

As soon as I heard that Sikong Jue came to visit, Murong Qianru was facing a great enemy, so he hurriedly summoned Murong Xiu and Murong Ge, and the three of them were conspiring.

"If he comes to propose marriage, let him join the marriage!"

"Yes, into the marriage, my sister Murong Xiu is going to get married, and a man is also coming!"

"Look at the attitude of the little sister and talk about it!"

Everyone hurriedly went to tell Murong Yan that as soon as she heard that Sikong Jue was coming, she changed her past decadence and even dressed up, so she went out to meet the guests in person.

Murong Qian's father and son became more and more worried when they heard about it. Seeing Murong Yan like this, I'm afraid this matter is not easy to handle!

Since it was about business, Sikong Jue still came with some gifts. Xia Jinhua thought the ceremony had arrived, but as soon as he entered the mansion, he found the vague hostility coming from the mansion...
