Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 286 Discovery 2
"Thank you Ma'am, I will call people today to get this matter done!" His voice was full of joy and excitement.

The discovery of coal mines that can replace firewood is a great achievement. Although he did not discover the coal mines, he was able to find out the distribution of coal in this county, which is also a credit.After the term of office expires, it should not be a dream to be promoted to the magistrate!

Besides, Mrs. Rao is King Pingxi's side concubine, his first wife, and his only woman.In the future, Mrs. Rao is very likely to be the concubine of King Pingxi!With this great backing, King Pingxi should also look at him differently, so the position of magistrate should be very promising!
Coming out of the county government office, Da Ya took people around the countryside near the county town, hoping to find a suitable place to open a kiln.It didn't matter this wandering around, it really made her discover a wasteland of more than 30 mu more than ten miles away from the county seat.The soil quality of the wasteland is actually very suitable for burning bricks and tiles.

This discovery made her very happy!

Immediately, she took people back to the county seat and found Qi Lianshan: "My lord, I want to buy a piece of wasteland, which is near the Hongshui River!"

Qi Lianshan: "Where is the wasteland? All right, one mu and one tael of silver will be enough! You can buy as big as you want, just tell me!"

Da Ya: "The wasteland is about [-] mu. If you buy a hill connected to the wasteland, the hill will only be about [-] mu in size."

Qi Lianshan: "Okay, then I'll have someone measure the barren land and hills tomorrow morning. The hills there are also very barren. It's only five mu and one tael of silver!"

Da Ya: "The barren land leads to a big road, but it's just a narrow road. I plan to build a big road. I also ask adults to help recruit some migrant workers. I will give you 50 copper coins for a day's work. Let's recruit about [-] people! You must be diligent and honest. People who are lazy and have bad morals don't want it! Well, I will pay the wages!"

Qi Lianshan: "Okay, I will recruit 50 people in the name of the county government, and explain that you paid for the road construction!"

The folk customs in the northwest are tough, recruiting people in the name of the county government, those who are restless dare not make trouble.Otherwise, I'm afraid those simple and honest people will be scared away, and they dare not compete with those people for the number of migrant workers.

When Da Ya came to the county this time, she brought a total of five guards out.Stayed in the county for three days, arranged ten people to dig kilns, and 40 people to build roads. Seeing that everything was on the right track, they left guards Li Chun and Qian Dong. Li Chun was in charge of brick kilns, and Qian Dong was in charge of road construction. matter.

Before leaving, Da Ya warned: "The two of you stay here. If you have any problems, go to Daoxiang Village to find Master Qiao, or go to the county government to ask Mr. Qi for help. If you can't solve it, send someone to send me a message." , You can report alone when you come back!"

The two quickly agreed.

When Da Ya returned home, Shui Qingqian was still there.

"Don't you have to go to work? It's spring now, and the border area should not be very stable. I say you should go back to Blue Water Bay! By the way, I bought a piece of land near the county seat, which is suitable for building brick kilns. Someone has been sent to dig kilns and build roads there!"

Seeing that the water is clear and shallow, before he could say anything, Da Ya said.

Shui Qingqian: "Oh? There is a suitable place near the county seat? That's great! Hurry up a bit, I'll build the bricks and tiles of the palace, and I'll go to you! Hurry up a little bit, I'll build the bricks and tiles of the palace , I went to your kiln to buy bricks and tiles! I have reserved all the bricks and tiles fired in the first month, so you must keep them for me!"

Didn't care about her attitude at all.

Da Ya was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay!"

Since he insisted on building a new palace in the Xiaoqing River Basin, she didn't want to dissuade him anymore. After all, Tiantian and Chuanjiang also need father's love.Big deal, when he has another woman one day, she will leave Xiaoqinghe and go somewhere else!

Received her "yes", Shui Qingqian was full of joy.

"You're back, I'll go find my little uncle and explain to him about the construction of the palace. Then, I have to go to Blue Water Bay for a while to deal with the business. When everything is on the right track, I will stay in the palace for a long time. Here, the children have worked hard for you!" Shui Qing said apologetically.

Da Ya: "Okay, go and do what you should be busy with. You don't have to worry about it here. I'll take care of everything! If anything happens, I'll send someone to find you! So, you can stay in the blue water without worry. Wan, let’s deal with the matter properly! If you have any difficulties with money, you can tell me, within the scope of my ability, I will do my best!"

Although she resisted his approach at this time, after all, they were once a loving couple, and he was the father of a pair of daughters.In any case, she wished him all the best, and hoped that he could firmly hold the military and political power in the Northwest in her own hands in the shortest possible time.

"Okay, I got it, don't worry, this time I came to the northwest from the capital, and I brought about a hundred reliable and useful men. Most of these people were given by my grandfather, and some were recommended by Zhong Zijian. , and some were introduced by Liuli's husband. During the days in the capital, I also intentionally recruited and made friends with more than a dozen people, and this time they all came with me! Almost all of these hundred people are talents, from all walks of life. There are talented people in the industry! By the way, there is another one who is good at blacksmithing, I left him in Blue Water Bay, and I will bring him over for you to use next time!"

Da Ya smiled and nodded: "Okay! Then I won't be polite, there is a shortage of such people!" Xiaoqinghe is too far away from the county town, making and repairing farm tools is very inconvenient, and it is better to have someone who knows how to do it.

"I'm leaving, you have to take good care of yourself! Believe in me, I will never let you down, I will never let you down!" Shui Qingqian looked at Da Ya, her eyes full of affection.

"Okay, I'll wait and see!" Da Ya said with a smile, but she didn't take it seriously in her heart: It's all like this, I have changed from a regular wife to a concubine, and I haven't let me down, haven't I been disappointed?
Shui Qingqian didn't know what was going on in her heart, she got on her mount with a face full of joy, and left Xiaoqinghe Oasis.

Da Ya watched his back, feeling very complicated.

"Mother, don't be sad, the baby will always be by your side!" Zhen Xing stood beside Da Ya at some point, and comforted him with tears in his eyes.

"Good boy, mother knows, mother is not sad." Da Ya reached out and stroked Zhenxing's hair, took his little hand, and walked to the study: "Today, mother will tell you "Battle of the Red Cliff"!"

"Yes, mother!" Zhenxing was very interested in the historical stories told by Da Ya, and couldn't get enough of them.

Tiantian and Chuanjiang woke up from their lunch break, but they didn't see Shui Qingqian, and cried a lot: "I want Daddy, where is Daddy? Does he not want us anymore?"

Cha Guo quickly comforted: "Don't cry, no, no! Your father loves you very much, why would he not want you?" The little girl said these words without any confidence, and her face was full of guilt.

Tiantian was a precocious child, so he couldn't tell: "You lied! You lied!" The crying became louder and more miserable.

After hearing the news, Da Ya rushed over, asked the reason, and quickly comforted her: "How could it be? Your father saw that Mother was back, so he was in a hurry to attend to important matters. He told Mother that he would be back in a few days! "

Chuan Jiang choked up and said, "How many days? How many days is that?"

Da Ya: "If it goes well, it will take more than ten days; if it doesn't go well, it may take a month! However, mother can guarantee that your father will definitely come back!" She doesn't want to deceive her children, she wants to set an example for them , So I didn't lie, I didn't lie to the child that he would come back in two days.

"It's been so long? But, I miss Daddy so much!" Tiantian burst into tears again.

Da Ya couldn't help but feel a little headache.To be honest, she never forgot the father whom the children missed so much.Every day and night when she came to the northwest, she also missed you and cared about you.No one can understand the pain and pain in her heart except herself.

"Don't worry, your father will definitely come back!"

These words, rather than speaking to her children, might as well be said to herself.In her heart, she also had expectations for him, hoping that he would come back, come back to her side!
In a blink of an eye, a month has passed.

In the concern of the mother and son, Shui Qingqian is finally coming back!

"Ma'am, the lord is now in Cuibai Villa. He said that after taking a bath and changing clothes there, he is going to come here for lunch! By the way, my master is also coming here to have dinner together. Madam, please take the trouble to prepare." Cuibai The guard of the villa sent a message.

"Okay, I got it, I will tell the kitchen to prepare the meals!" Da Ya said with a faint smile, not intending to do it herself at all.

Hearing that Shui Qingqian was coming back, Tiantian and Chuanjiang made a noise and wanted to meet him at the gate.Da Ya's persuasion was fruitless, so she had to agree, and waited on the lawn at the gate with the children.The children were playing on the swings while waiting for someone.

On the lawn at the gate, several big trees and two swings were planted.

Shui Qingqian is dressed in a royal blue dress, and the three thousand blue silks are only tied on the top of the head with a black jade hairpin. Under the reflection of the rays of the sun, Qingcheng's face is striding forward, just like a banished fairy, let everyone Ah's mind couldn't help being a little dazed.

This handsome man is her husband?Oh no, ex-husband.Not long after we parted, he seemed to have become more attractive, full of the momentum of a king.

"Daddy! Daddy is back!" Tiantian and Chuanjiang scrambled to rush over.

"Baby!" Shui Qingqian squatted on the ground, opened her arms, and with a bright smile on her face, she took the two cute little guys into her arms, bowed her head and kissed them lovingly.

The children were clinging to the clear water, and they were reluctant to leave for half a step. Da Ya couldn't help but feel a little jealous and sour.I can't help but think, if one day, she and Shui Qingqian really broke up, will these two children choose the father or the mother?

Da Ya left quietly, unwilling to think deeply about what was there and what was not.

Her back is a little lonely; her steps are a little staggering.

Shui Qingqian stared at her back, tears filled her eyes, and her heart ached.It was he who was sorry for her, and it was he who made her sad.However, since he has come to the northwest, he will try his best to make this piece of land look like Tietong.When he has gained a firm foothold in the northwest, no one will want to humiliate her, and no one will want to hurt her again.

Grandpa Huang is no exception!

Master Qiao also came back together, bringing back Huangni and the stove and coal seals that Daya ordered from the blacksmith shop in the county.

Today is a sunny day.

Master Qiao, Izumo Chaoyang, Qi Lianshan, Shangguan Cheng, and Shui Qingqian all gathered on a drying ground in Xiaoqinghe Oasis.This drying yard was specially cleared out by Da Ya, and it was specially used for briquette briquetting.

Da Ya personally demonstrated, adding an appropriate amount of yellow mud to the pulverized coal, mixing well, adding an appropriate amount of water, stirring for a while, and then using coal stamps to form honeycomb briquettes one by one on the drying yard.

Everyone was dumbfounded, thinking that she was just like the fairy who knew magic, and could use such a simple tool to conjure coal cakes with bee eyes.She is really amazing, it is true that women do not give in to men, how many men would never think of building such a tool to make briquettes, but she can think of it.
