    In the carriage, a man dressed in white snow was lying in front of the desk, drawing pictures against the brochure, his brows and eyes were as cold as the moon, but under the warm yellow light of the lamp, he showed a rare warmth.

    As soon as Jiang Baiye climbed into the carriage, he felt the cool air all over his body dissipate, becoming light and comfortable.

    The carriage is very big, and he bought a new one specially. The previous one was left in the workshop to pull goods. This one is designed for people, and it needs two horses to pull it. It even has a small couch for temporary rest.Wrap it with a soft cloth, place a long case, and put a set of elegant and simple tea sets.

    There are several layers of drawers under the couch, which contain all kinds of books and snacks for the people around you.

    In order to allow him to accompany him comfortably, Jiang Baiye put in great effort to design this luxury carriage which is equivalent to a mobile caravan.

    But it’s only for temporary rest. When it’s okay, Jiang Baiye will ask Lu Lizhi to stay overnight or stay in a hotel. After all, the outdoor wilderness environment is really harsh and messy everywhere. If there is no coordination, those hard labors may still happen.riot.

    Jiang Baiye was afraid that something would happen to him, so he specially found a few people to protect him, and he didn't dare to stay too far away. As a result, not long ago, because of the uneven distribution of food, a gang of gangsters took the lead in fighting, but Lu Lizhi came forward and easilysubsided.

    He also made some suggestions, teaching them how to appease people's hearts and how to adapt to the people's sentiments. The appearance of the future power ministers has begun to show. Many times, those officials and servants are uncertain and will come to him for advice. Now, his status here is not the slightest.No lower than Jiang Baiye.

    The two coordinated and cooperated from different aspects, and it can be said that they were praised along the way.

    "Will this delay you too much?" Jiang Baiye ate two pieces of snacks, and saw that he didn't seem to notice himself, and he said nonchalantly, "You haven't gone to school for almost a month."

    In fact, he didn't go to the government school at all, he just signed up and was abducted by him.

    Lu Lizhi lowered his head and quickly drew something on the paper, without paying attention to it at all. He didn't even know what this man was talking about.

    Naturally, he didn't know that there were quite a few Jiang Baiye in that prefectural school regarded as his rivals in love, but he certainly couldn't hold on to them all the time.

    "How is the painting going?"

    This is what Jiang Baiye mentioned earlier, the biggest weapon involved in the construction of the flood discharge canal this time.

    Lu Lizhi showed him the more than half-finished blueprint, with detailed lines, markings and dimensions on it.

    Jiang Baiye taught him to draw this kind of construction drawings. This person knows a little bit, he can get started, and even occasionally makes actual renderings when he is free.

    In short, Jiang Baiye's desired effect can be clearly expressed through drawings, and other people can understand his meaning, and it is very convenient to execute. He doesn't need to waste his time, but Liu Gong and Xiao Sanzi have to help him translate the words here., It's over, everyone is still ignorant.

    "Li Zhi, you are really my lucky star!" Jiang Baiye finished watching, hugged him and kissed him, "Sure enough, our husband and wife are more tacit, every time I talk to Liu Gong and others for a long time, the third son will say every word of meThey can be understood, but when they are put together, they don’t understand the meaning.”

    Lu Lizhi took a sip of his tea lightly, thinking of the people Jiang Baiye described, each with a "question mark" on his head, he couldn't help but smile.

    "It's also because they didn't take the flood canal seriously at the beginning. They just wanted to use a lot of coolies. They thought it was just digging ditches. They just buried their heads in digging, and it was enough to divert the water away."

    "In fact, a lot of materials and manpower can be saved through various designs. For example, in this section of the blasting of mountains and opening of canals, there is no need to detour for dozens of miles, and directly lead the water to the wasteland behind.With water in the future, it will also be a good habitat."

    "Say, how about we buy this place? Before anyone notices, it must be very cheap. In the future, it will be a Zhuangzi. There is a lot of water here, so we will grow lotus roots to raise fish. When the time comes, there will be endless lotuses, and we will go boating on the lake., lotus root can be used for cooking, lotus seeds can be used for medicine, lotus leaves can be used for cooking porridge, I can also make lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken for you, and then use lotus root to make sweet and soft lotus root powder..."

    Lu Lizhi was longing for him because he said that this person can always tinker with new things.

    As they talked, both of them were a little hungry, and unconsciously ate up all the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and horseshoe cakes on the plate.

    The boy who happened to help them run errands brought over the lunch dishes and meat in a hurry.

    The two got out of the carriage, came to the gurgling stream, and processed the ingredients. At this moment, many people have helped them set up the iron pot, cooking utensils and firewood.

    When saw it, oh, wanted to come to eat again.

    "Hey, let's help you out." Several men scratched their heads, embarrassed and cheeky.

    Because of Jiang Baiye and Lu Lizhi's participation, even these craftsmen felt a lot more relaxed, and it was rare to take a rest at noon, thinking about the delicious food here.

    Jiang Baiye is also very generous, otherwise how could he have friends everywhere, having more friends is easier to handle, who knows if he will ever need them in the future.

    It's just a meal, Jiang Baiye can still afford it.

    With the help of these few people, Jiang Baiye was also much faster. Using a huge iron pan, he first braised two chickens that had been chopped into small pieces, and added a large piece of pork suet, garlic cloves, green onions, and dried red peppers.Everything is ready, then pour clean water.

    At this time, Lu Lizhi also helped to knead the dough, Jiang Baiye kneaded it into strips, pressed it into the shape of a ox tongue, stuck it to the side of the pot, half immersed in the bubbling vegetable soup.

    The rich soup of the braised chicken emitted bursts of intriguing aromas with the strong firepower. The few people who were burning the fire below almost couldn't hold back their saliva and swallowed hard.

    This is before they came out to work, and they have never seen this way of eating!

    "Brother Jiang, what kind of delicacy is this?"

    "Ground Pot Chicken, I'll post more pancakes, everyone will try it later."

    Someone has a thin skin, "I, I don't need it, you can make more soup, I can just dip some steamed buns in the soup!"

    Jiang Baiye smiled and pasted the pancakes, and put them around the iron pan. This kind of iron pan is very big, after all, it is used to cook food for so many people, but it was originally used to make a hodgepodge.Make a delicacy that you can't see in restaurants.

    There are two small pots next to it, one for cooking and one for cooking. Several people are busy heating the fire and fetching water, and Jiang Baiye is in charge.

    A dish of braised potatoes with braised pork, a dish of scrambled eggs with shredded carrots, fungus and chili peppers, and a dish of fried cabbage with a little sugar added to enhance the freshness. Li Zhi’s favorite dish is the dish.

    Some homemade sausages brought by Jiang Baiye from home were also steamed in the rice, which was full of salty flavor and smelled of alcohol, not to mention the amount of rice.

    If Qin Chunquan saw this scene, he would probably be even more depressed.

    As usual, after Jiang Baiye is done, he will get some to send to those officials who are in charge of water conservancy construction. They are not powerful officials, or even have little ability, but Jiang Baiye knows how to behave, and he must not surpass them. He only cares about himself.Eat and drink.

    After a long time, maybe something will happen, and then I won't have so many privileges.

    And these officials also have their own small stoves, and there are cooks who are responsible for their meals, and they don't want to eat and drink for him, but every time they see the food sent by Jiang Baiye, they are still very excited.

    "Hurry up, we can finally have dinner, just waiting for his food!"

    The cook next to him, "?"

    These adults can really pretend, didn't they say at the beginning that they would not eat the food sent by others, it would taste better than anyone else.

    Jiang Baiye also picked up the bowls and chopsticks and ate happily.

    But he didn't want Li Zhi to eat with these guys who hadn't bathed in the mud for several days. He specially prepared it for him. He picked all kinds of onions, ginger, garlic, chicken skin, and even cabbage. He only wanted to eat it.Vegetable leaves, eat vegetable poles by yourself.

    But under the watchful eyes of the public, it is not easy for him to do it too blatantly.

    Everyone who had already realized that something was wrong between the two of them, "..." Isn't this blatant?They've all seen it, bro!

    Originally they thought that this foolish guy intoxicated in love was unrequited love. After all, this Mr. Lu is so glamorous, and occasionally they would be in a daze if they looked more often, but inadvertently, someone caught a glimpse of this Mr. Lu and told themThe "stupid" brother Jiang feeds the meal.

    A grain of rice that fell on his lips was picked up and eaten without hesitation.

    Very casual, very natural, like an old couple, but the eyes between each other are so hot that it makes people feel numb all over.

    "This..." They were completely dumbfounded. Since ancient times, there have been countrymen who can't afford a wife who have become brothers, and there are also faces raised by court nobles for fun, but this time they saw the two conditions around them with their own eyes.Nice men together.

    Surprisingly, don't feel strange or disgusted, but feel the harmony and leisurely time from the two of them, and both of them are very powerful, which makes people feel like a combination of strong and strong, and no one loses..

    "Hey, if you give me one like Mr. Lu, I think I can do it too."

    "You have a good idea, my wild brother is the first to raise his fist!"

    In the afternoon, Jiang Baiye showed half of the drawn drawings to the responsible officials and foremen, and was about to blow up the mountain. "Setting a few roundabouts here can also reduce the flow velocity when the flood erupts and avoid too much impact."Big enough to break the dam."

    "The diversion embankment is chosen at the first bend, and part of the water flow can also be diverted to the water-scarce areas of Chongzhou to solve the local agricultural irrigation problem..."

    At the front, they agreed on a general plan, and the foreman followed closely behind, arranging the division of labor between artisans and hard labor, some digging, others building, tens of thousands of people, busy in different areas.

    The blueprints were also copied and drawn into many copies by special people, and distributed to important people. Liu Gong took several blueprints and kept bragging to his old brothers.

    "I can't think of this slope like a staircase, but it can effectively solve the problem of sediment deposition."

    "And there is such a thing as centrifugal vortex sand throwing, water flow dynamics in bends..."

    A group of people, "..." don't understand much, but they have practical wisdom, so they have a deep understanding of many things Jiang Baiye said, and they also feel that the theories he put forward are very mysterious and reasonable.Isn't it more widely used?

    Experience is as valuable as experience, and theory also has theoretical significance. During this period of time, people on both sides have benefited a lot.

    Three days later, a group of people blasted half of the mountain and dug a wide canal. Jiang Baiye looked at the vast plain behind the mountain and began to secretly prepare to buy land.

    But don't prepare a little more family property, he even has a plan to buy a permanent worker, how did a group of people know that his ideas were so advanced, when Jiang Baiye was thinking about various ways to get rich, they were thinking about what to eat at noon and what to eat at nightwhat.

    But Jiang Baiye did whatever he wanted, and after a while, letters from the capital city and Xuanhe Mansion reached him like snowflakes.

    He got into the carriage and shared with Lu Lizhi, "That nobleman treated you well, guess how much reward Huichun Tang got?"

    Lu Lizhi leaned on the couch and read books. When he had nothing to do, he would also write story books, but he not only wrote "Ask the Merry", but also published other short story books.

    He knew that he didn't need to respond, and Jiang Baiye would continue talking.

    Jiang Baiye read a long list of rewards, "Let's not talk about other odds and ends, the gold is five thousand gold, the silver is five thousand gold, jewels worth thousands of gold and hundreds of bolts of silk and satin, Mr. He said that I will divide them into two."It's done."

    Lu Lizhi silently calculated, that is, one thousand taels of gold, one thousand taels of silver, two hundred taels of jewelry and twenty bolts of cloth.

    "However, Mr. He is polite to me, but I have to be savvy. Huichuntang has done a lot there. After spending so much energy, I gave a prescription and made some suggestions. The key point is that they gave me a halfThe ingredients are red."

    Lu Lizhi thought that he didn't plan to ask for it after talking so much.

    As a result, the man said, "It's up to him to finish it!" After saying that, he happily replied, and wrote that he should choose those silks and satins first.

    He wanted to make some clothes for Li Zhiduo, especially since winter was coming soon, so he didn't want to bring a few more warm winter clothes, nice cloaks or something.

    And his parents, now that they have made money, they want to make more decent clothes.

    "Let them use this money to help me look at a few shops and houses, especially in such a good place in the capital. I should invest and buy more as soon as possible. In the future, I will earn a lot of income just by collecting rent."

    Lu Lizhi wondered, is the money enough?

    Jiang Baiye said casually: "Rejuvenation Hall has successfully settled in the capital, and I'm afraid it will have a good momentum in the future. My half share is enough."

    It's also because Mr. He is a good person. He gave him five thousand taels at the beginning, but he still gave him half a bonus. But then again, if the He family and Huichuntang are not good, I don't like them.It is not certain whose family is in the hall.

    So Jiang Baiye felt that they were mutually beneficial to each other, and no one was at a disadvantage. Otherwise, if they were careless, their brothers would fall out.

    When Jiang Baiye turned to the next letter, he fell silent for a moment, because the letter said that the nobleman's illness would be cured just around the corner, and His Majesty would promise them a condition at that time.

    The He family felt a lot of pressure about this, they didn't know if it was a good thing, they had a lot of ideas, but they didn't dare to raise them casually, for fear of offending Long Yan, or some kind of trap.

    In the end, they discussed and decided to kick the ball to Jiang Baiye, give Jiang Baiye this condition, and declared that he deserved it too.

    It has to be said that the He family is a little too cautious, but it is also very reassuring to cooperate with such a person.

    Jiang Baiye didn't hesitate at all, and continued to write in the letter: want the genius doctor from the Shanyitang to help treat the disease.

    He wants to treat Li Zhi's dumb disease, which is also his biggest wish so far.

    If only relying on Huichun Hall, given their current confrontation with Shanyi Hall, I am afraid that they will not be able to succeed easily.

    Sensing his silence, Lu Lizhi sharply raised his gaze, and Jiang Baiye laughed, "Doctor Hu and the others probably won't be able to come out. If there is no Huichuntang, he might still have some chances. Now he and his master are useless."Land of Martial Arts, hum~"

    "But they should be happy, after all, they have transferred from the small broken prison in Xuanhe Mansion to the sky prison, which is more luxurious and magnificent."

    Lu Lizhi, "..."

    The other letters were He Lin's elder brother He Yun's report on the workshop, what went wrong, how to solve it, what was the daily harvest, what medicine was concocted, and even who asked for a few days off.

    Jiang Baiye, "..." He suddenly felt the feeling of an emperor in history when he was approving memorials in the middle of the night and all the officials were talking nonsense.

    After that, Jiang Baiye was waiting for Huichuntang to heal the nobleman in the palace, and then the miracle doctor came here.

    He hoped that before Li Zhi went to the government school, he could recover from his illness and make things less difficult.

    At the same time, his contributions to the flood canal were also recorded one by one and reported to his superiors. If he didn't provide those officials with food and drink every day, they could take all the credit for him at will with a single thought.

    After all, he is just a commoner.

    Now, the name of Jiang Baiye has been passed up layer by layer, and he has changed from a craftsman who is good at water conservancy to a folk wonder, with ingenious skills and a master of arithmetic.

    Jiang Baiye's mood is complicated.

    As time passed, the span of the flood discharge channel was extremely large, involving several prefectures. Jiang Baiye and the others guided the design ahead, and the people behind continued to build it.

    Around November, Jiang Baiye had already emptied himself. Fortunately, the design progress had come to an end at this time, and he handed it over to Liu Gong and the others, and he was ready to set off immediately.

    Because don't know what Huichuntang requested, the doctor who cured Lu Lizhi in the book has already rushed from the capital to Xuanhe Mansion.

    Lu Lizhi felt Jiang Baiye's excitement, but for some reason, he was tired of reading at this time, so he habitually lay down on his lap.

    "I'm dirty." Jiang Baiye wanted to hide subconsciously, looking at his immaculate white clothes, he thought that not only had he not showered for three days, but his body was also covered in mud.

    Lu Lizhi still insisted on lying down.

    I haven't seen him for three days. After finishing the drawing, he could have left immediately, but he still stayed with him for half a month.

    For the past half month, Jiang Baiye not only didn't come to the carriage every day in order to catch up with the schedule, he didn't even eat meals with him, and he asked others to pass on things.

    If he didn't know that he was devoted to repairing ditches, Lu Lizhi would have thought that he had a new friend outside.

    When he wanted to go to the scene to see who he was close to, this person was more anxious than anyone else to send him back, as if he was afraid that he would step on a little dirt.

    Lu Lizhi thought of the winking looks of those people, there should be people who don't have eyes and want to insert themselves between them indiscriminately?

    Jiang Baiye found that he was thinking about something, and stretched out his hand to wipe away his handsome brow, "What are you thinking about?"

    Lu Lizhi felt at ease and comfortable with such a touch and intimacy, and couldn't help rubbing his palm sideways.

    Jiang Baiye, "..." Exploded!

    Before he could digest the excitement, Lu Lizhi buried him in his arms, feeling nostalgic and clingy, and he didn't think he was dirty.

    Obviously he still resisted before, Jiang Baiye was at a loss for a moment, then he closed his eyes, trying to get him dirty...

    But Lu Lizhi supported his chest, and slowly sat up from him, his posture was suddenly unknowingly correct, as if the intimacy and coquettishness just now were just Jiang Baiye's hallucination.

    Jiang Baiye was so hooked that he wanted to die. Now that the two have been intimate so many times, they didn't know his little thoughts and threw him down.

    "Li Zhi, who did you learn from to tease me so well?"

    Lu Li thought in his heart that he was far away in the sky and close in front of him, but he finally got a little revenge for his behavior of neglecting himself during this period of time.

    Thinking of this, Lu Li was taken aback. He became sensitive and suspicious just like the boudoir daughters who were obsessed with romance in those stories.

    Feeling the strength of his affectionate caressing himself, Lu Lizhi seemed to have found a little source.

    I don't know since when, he also became eager to get close to him and keep touching him.

    "Wife..." Jiang Baiye brushed his lips over, pouring out his enthusiasm, "I really want to hear you call me husband."

    At that time, he couldn't help but kill him directly, right?

    Lu Lizhi lowered his eyes, is he disgusted that he can't speak?

    The two of them didn't even have time to exchange a passionate kiss, someone from outside came looking for Jiang Baiye, and now he has learned a lot about water conservancy here, combined with other knowledge, he can generally deal with their problems.

    As soon as Jiang Baiye left, Lu Lizhi lowered his eyes and thought about his dumb illness. This was also his father's obsession all along. Why did Lu Lizhi never want to become a normal person.

    But just thinking about it, Lu Lizhi smiled bitterly, opened the curtain, and a gust of cold wind rushed towards his face.

    It turned out that it was already winter.

    I don't know what's going on in Xuanhe Mansion, Jiang Baiye said that he wanted to buy a house or shop in the capital, he didn't feel much, he was always thinking about what he said before to buy a house in Fucheng, which belonged to their common house.

    Lu Lizhi thought about story books and storytelling again, and wondered if he could spend half of the money to buy a nice house with him. Given Jiang Baiye's current requirements, he would definitely not be satisfied with an ordinary house.

    When night fell, Jiang Baiye finished the last task, yawned and climbed into the carriage, his movements were quite cautious.

    Lu Lizhi still woke up dimly, and when he was hugged into his arms, he found that he didn't have the cold air from outside, and was as warm as a stove.

    On the contrary, Jiang Baiye was surprised, "Li Zhi, you are a little angry, why did you sleep for a long time, the bed is still cool."

    Lu Lizhi, "..." I think it's hot to hold him in summer, and it's cold in winter. Is this person going to the sky?

    "We're going back tomorrow, and we have a surprise for you then."

    Before going to bed, Jiang Baiye couldn't help shaking out this surprise. He was so excited, and he was afraid that some annoying guy would say it in advance and spoil his good deed.

    Lu Lizhi didn't know what surprise he was going to prepare, but don't sneakily buy the house by himself, he would rather buy it together with him, but he had to go to Fucheng Ning shopkeeper and the others to settle the settlement first, maybe he could come up with enough money.

    That night, both of them were full of expectations for the future.

    And the relevant people of the Shanyitang who were far away in the capital felt their scalps tightened, because they finally realized that the nobleman's illness was really cured!

    Dr. Hu's greatest value has been replaced, and I'm afraid he will never come out again.

    The most exasperating thing is that the other most powerful and famous doctor among them besides Doctor Hu was borrowed by Huichuntang at will.

    His Majesty is quite happy to see the success of treating diseases and exchanging medical skills. They don't even have room to resist and refuse, and they just watch people being taken away like this.

    Shanyitang felt the crisis and challenge never before!

    "I won't make it easier for Huichun Hall, and that Jichun Medicine Workshop." Qin Chunquan made a decision, "Next, are we going to carry out that plan?"

    "No, it's not the time yet, wait and see for a while, don't mess up because of these little grasshoppers." The big boss is still calm, and the Shanyitang has come to this point, if anyone can make them mess up, it's okay.It's too bad.
