Chapter 597

Hearing this, Li's eyes were red and choked: "my son! How old is that? How could you say that? Changfu, you see, our son has grown up! "

Zhao Changfu said: "yes, I have grown up."

Qiuli rolled her eyes and said, "where do you grow up? But just a nice word! Is that how you grow up? What about the four of us? "

Li said, "you four? You four have grown up long ago! "

Qiuli said: "are you kidding! My elder sister and I are just three younger sisters. Qiulan is still a child. "

Qiulan raised her hand and said, "I've grown up, too!"

Can orange put down the chopsticks, hands down, said: "let's not talk about this. I'd like to discuss the widening of the river channel first. In other words, Qingshui River and Taohua River are connected together. At last, they converge with Xijiang River in the town, and then run through the whole southern region The rivers of the towns nearby are narrow. Once they get out of our town, they can take big boats. So our task is to widen the rivers in the neighboring towns It's not a big project. "

Zhao Changfu said: "no! Fortunately, it's not a busy farming season now. If we start it, we should be able to gather a lot of people. Besides, it's not without pay. "

Li said, "I'll talk to people tomorrow."

But orange nodded and said, "well, now there are people in every village willing to take the lead. In this way, we just need to prepare the money. What's the identity of Mr. Cui? If he's there, you don't have to worry about not finding anyone. "

After the discussion, the next day began to act.

Within five days after that, Lord Lin sent someone to tell Ke Cheng that he had gathered all the young labors from the nearby villages and that the river could be excavated the next day!

Orange can be great joy, and Qiuli Qiulan three personally to the scene, to bring people tea, cakes and other comforting things.

The third lady was very free, so she led her daughter-in-law, he Xiaolian, to wear a straw hat and build a grass shed nearby to pour tea and distribute cakes to the people.

The people start work at noon, finish work at noon, start work at two hours in the morning, start work at noon, and finish work at unitary hour. It's only three hours a day.

In more than a month, the section of the river from Taohua village to Baihua town has been widened. Now, let alone big ships, even two big ships can cross it side by side!

This day, Cui Zhonglei and Ke Cheng stood beside the river, watching the yellow rice on both sides of the river gently swaying in the evening wind. They couldn't help laughing happily.

But orange asked him: "Mr. Cui, you have been here for nearly half a year. Do you plan to go back when?"

Cui Zhonglei said: "the end of the year. I have to go back at the end of the year. "

Can orange ask again: "this river course widened, does the imperial court remember your this brushstroke of merit?"

Cui Zhonglei said: "it's just a matter of duty. What can I say? But this time, you've paid a lot of money. "

But orange said with a smile: "yes! It's beyond my budget! "

Cui Zhonglei gave a "Oh" and asked, "how much did you originally budget?"

Can orange way: "I thought about 100 people, each 50 Wen a day, plus cakes and tea and so on, estimated a month time, calculated to cost about 300 Liang silver.". Who knows that this is more than 200 people, and the silver has more than doubled... "

Cui Zhonglei asked her, "how much money did it cost?"

Can orange way: "take into account the daily tea cake, more than two months down, at least also spent more than 600 Liang silver."

Cui Zhonglei thought for a while and said, "it did cost a lot, but you can rest assured that I will get it back for you."

But orange waved his hand and said, "I didn't mean that..."

Cui Zhonglei said, "I know."

But orange said, "I'm just talking about it. In fact, after the river is widened, I'm the one who benefits the most. So it's reasonable for me to pay for it. In other words, I have to thank you very much! "

Cui Zhonglei said, "thank you very much? Why thank me so much? "

Can orange way: "thanks to you in the name of the government to gather people to dig river! Otherwise, with my own strength, how can I gather so many people? "

Cui Zhonglei said with a smile: "but orange, don't be modest in front of me. With the prestige of your three girls in Baihua Town, they are just cheering up and gathering together!"

But orange laughs: "you say that I seem to be some kind of green forest hero!"

Cui Zhonglei said: "you are not a hero, but you are better than a hero! With you in Baihua Town, it's definitely a blessing for the people of the whole town! "

Can orange embarrassed way: "you say this words I am embarrassed."

Cui Zhonglei smiles and is silent for a while. Then he asks her: "Wan su Will you be back soon? "

Mention ten thousand Su, can orange as expected whole person is full of energy coruscate rise, smile a way: "fast! He comes back every year in the first half of June. "

Cui Zhonglei saw that when she heard Wan Su coming back, the whole person seemed to be in high spirits. He couldn't help being astringent and asked her, "what's your plan next?" Because of digging the river, Cui Zhonglei and Ke Cheng meet almost every day. After more than a month's day and night together, Cui Zhonglei has admired this girl who is five or six years younger than himself. He thinks that all the girls he has seen in Beijing are turbid, and all of them can't compare with the girl's transparency. He is eager to know Ke Cheng's future plans. If he can persuade her to go to Beijing Maybe my future will be more colorful and full of vision.But orange thought about it and said, "now that the river has been widened, it's natural to buy a boat next! But it's not so expensive... "

Cui Zhonglei said: "speaking of boats I have a way... "

Can orange busy way: "this don't bother you, Wan Su is do what?"? He belongs to the MSA! He has a boat! But it's an official ship. I'm afraid it can't be used for my own use. But he should have a way. "

Cui Zhonglei heard "Oh" here and seemed a little lost.

But orange said: "when I have a boat, I will go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang with manager Qin. In their early years, they opened a weaving workshop and had many old customers. Let's go together, and we'll be able to sell our own goods after we've paved the market. In this way, the profits will be at least doubled! "

Cui Zhonglei said with a smile: "you have a dream."

Can orange way: "what want a head don't want a head?"? A gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way. What I earn is conscience money! If it goes well, you can earn at least several hundred taels of silver in the future! In this way, one or two trips will bring back all the money spent on digging the river! "
