Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 354: Saying Less Does Not Mean Not Saying Nothing
Meng Changqing stood on the city wall, with the wind blowing from all directions. She was doing her routine inspection, and after only standing there for a quarter of an hour, her face was blown by the wind. It can be seen how difficult it was for the soldiers to hold on to the city wall for a long time.

Before winter came, many people had already had bloody cuts on their faces. Meng Changqing felt sorry for the poor environment they were in, and said to Zhang Yuan, "Find a way to get some sheep oil, and ask them to apply it on their faces after washing. The sentries in various places can be changed more frequently, so that the soldiers can relax and it will be more beneficial to border defense."

Zhang Yuan nodded. "Yes, we have been changing them frequently. Those who have been replaced can immediately go to the city to warm themselves by the fire and rest. As for mutton fat, I will talk to the higher-ups and see if I can get some."

Meng Changqing asked if there had been any movement outside the wall recently, and Zhang Yuan said, "The Yan army has been quiet for a long time. Since that battle, we haven't seen them. Our people went out to investigate, but they didn't come out.

It is the Jiewan savages who often come here to hang out. Let me tell you a funny story. As soon as they see the people from the Xueye tribe coming, they immediately run away, as if they saw the King of Hell. "

"He has become bigger and stronger." Meng Changqing stretched out his hand to support the wall in front of him, "We still have to be careful of the Yan army. They haven't come for a long time, maybe they want us to let down our guard."

Zhang Yuan agreed: "I have the same idea and have already emphasized it to the soldiers in advance."

"We have to survive this autumn. In the winter, we need to reinforce the city wall, especially the city gate."

Perhaps it was because of the excessive cold wind, or perhaps it was because of the difficulty of starting construction in winter, Zhang Yuan sighed, "It is really not easy to build something in this place in winter. Not only do the workers suffer, but the effort and materials spent also increase exponentially. When I look at this wall in front of me now, it is incredible that they were able to build this wall at that time.

Thinking back to those days, dozens of people lived in a cave, working day and night, cutting trees, baking soil, digging foundations, and ramming earth walls. The ground was frozen so thick that as soon as the fire on the ground went out, the soil underneath would freeze again.

There was dirt in the wind, in the quilt, and in the pots and bowls. Every time I opened my mouth, I had to eat a few bites first.

At that time, no one complained. "

Zhang Yuan finished his sigh and flattered him, "You are the only one in the world who can accomplish such a thing."

Meng Changqing thought it was funny. How could no one complain? "How fast can you run normally? How fast can you run if there's a wolf behind you? You'd better stop flattering me in the future.

Well, I'm going back."

Zhang Yuan accompanied him down the city wall, "Thank you for the food and military expenses you sent."

Meng Changqing got off the city wall and did not go back to the government office directly. When she was about to reach the town, she asked Bafang to take the horse back first, and she walked back all the way. She was planning to build a new street, which was decided a long time ago. The location had been chosen, parallel to the original old street.

The requirements for the construction of the new street and even the layout of the sewerage on the street have all been drawn out on paper. The only thing missing now is money.

As Meng Changqing walked, he thought, why not trick Mao Chunfang, since he was at odds with him.

But then again, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Mao Chunfang is a complete villain. If you tease him, he will definitely bite back.

But if you think about it carefully, Meng Changqing is not a gentleman either. When two villains meet, it is hard to tell who will bite whom.

"Don't get close!"

Meng Changqing was brought back to her senses by the voice behind her. It was her master Xi Bei, who was stopping a child who was trying to approach her.

The child was startled and stood still.

Meng Changqing still remembered him. He had a lot of flesh on his butt, so it felt good to hit him. "Shi Tou, why are you alone? Where's your sister?"

Shitou's expression suddenly turned guilty, "My sister went to complain."

"Oh? Where did you file the complaint?"

Before Shitou could say anything, he heard Luo Yun shouting at the entrance of the school: "Luo Shitou, come back quickly, the teacher is looking for you!"

Shitou wanted to hide behind Meng Changqing, but Xi Bei stopped him. "Sir, the master is definitely going to beat me up if he finds me. Please beg for mercy on my behalf!"

Meng Changqing joked: "Even Mr. Cai wants to beat you, have you violated the law of heaven?"
