Mingxi waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "The effectiveness of the fairy's medicine lies in the magic of the fairy, not the formula. However, the fairy did teach me some prescriptions in my dream. When I have the opportunity in the future, I want to prepare the medicine. Give it a try."
"There is such a strange thing?!" Shen Shihang's expression immediately became concerned, "If the prescription Madam received in her dream is really effective, it will be a great merit that benefits tens of millions of people. Why wait until later? Why not start preparing the prescription immediately! Madam If you are short of money or supplies, I am willing to help you with all my money!"
Ming Xi couldn't help but sigh: What a good official. As long as it is beneficial to the people, he will be so excited~
"Lord Shen, you don't know. Madam Xi has just bought land and a mountain. She has to open up wasteland and build roads. She is so busy that she has nothing to do." Zhao Lizheng explained with a smile, "As for buying the mountain, I I am going to report to the Yamen in the next few days."
Shen Shihang and Mrs. Shen were both surprised, "Bought a mountain?"
Ming Xi nodded and admitted, "Yes, I want to build a Taoist temple on the mountain. I hope the immortals can protect the creatures in this area."
Shen Shihang and Mrs. Shen were even more surprised. Buying the mountain was already an astonishing move, and the Taoist temple was even more surprising. All in all, this matter cannot be accomplished by one person!
Mingxi was very interested in this, and followed Zhao Lizheng's words and continued: "Speaking of which, I happen to have something to ask Mr. Shen for help."
Shen Shihang nodded and replied: "Madam, please tell me, as long as it does not violate the laws and the world, I, Shen Shihang, will never refuse."
Ming Xi smiled sheepishly, "It's not that serious... I've been living in a thatched house at the end of the village for the past year. That house was in disrepair and couldn't withstand the strong winds and snows in winter. It happened to be halfway up the Yi'er Mountain. The hillside is flat, so I want to build a new house there, with a garden and a fish pond. Master Shen is well-informed and must know many capable people, so I want to ask you, Sir, what you want. Where should I find a craftsman to build a house like this?”
Shen Shihang: "…………"
He had started to do some psychological construction, thinking about how he could refuse without being hurt if the other party made excessive demands, but this was the result? That's it? ? ?
"I do know one." Mrs. Shen said with a smile, "But it's a bit far away. He lives in Fucheng. The master's surname is Shi. He used to work in the Ministry of Industry. When he got old, he went home to take care of himself. By the way, he raised a child. All my disciples and descendants are craftsmen with exquisite skills. I heard that when the prefect of Fucheng built his garden, he hired this master stone master."
Shen Shihang nodded when he heard the words, and frowned at the same time, saying: "I have heard of this man, his craftsmanship is good, but the price is high, and it is unusual to build a house on the mountain, I don't know if there is enough time. "
Ming Xi immediately said: "There's enough time. I'm starting to repair the mountain climbing stone steps. In fifteen days... no, it can be repaired in ten days!"
Shen Shihang looked astonished and almost lost his composure, "Ten days? Ten days to build a mountaineering road?...Is Madam going to show off her magical skills again?"
Mrs. Shen also said euphemistically: "Such a large fortification usually takes at least half a year..."
Ming Xi covered her mouth and smiled, "Mrs. Shen doesn't know something. Yi'er Mountain itself is not very high. Plus, I learned a trick from my dream and was able to make the steps in a very short time. The rest is My job is to put the steps together, so the speed is very fast. It’s just that I don’t have enough manpower now, otherwise six days and seven days would be enough, let alone ten days.”
Shen Shihang was almost stunned. He stared blankly at Ming Xi's mouth opening and closing. He had no idea what to say. His long-held understanding was being overturned, overturned, and overturned again!
It was bizarre enough that the gods gave medicine in the dream, but now it was said that a house would be built on the mountain, and a climbing stone staircase leading halfway up the mountain would be built within ten days!
Is this something that ordinary people can do? ! Yeah? ! !
No wonder both the scribes and the villagers believed in the rumors of divine enlightenment!
If it weren't for the enlightenment of gods, it would be impossible to explain how this woman named Ming Xi could do these things!
"Mrs. Xi..." Shen Shihang couldn't help but stand up, bowed and asked with an extremely serious expression, "I wonder if Shen can take a look at the method Madam just said?"
He couldn't stand it anymore, he had to see it with his own eyes! Otherwise, how could he convince himself? !
The prescription given by the gods in the dream is now invisible, so he can take a look at the steps, right? ! If what she said works, can the construction period of those long-lasting palaces and mausoleums be greatly shortened?
"Of course." Ming Xi also stood up, "Master Shen, please come with me."
Mingxi led a group of people out of Zhao Lizheng's house and turned a corner to Aizipo.
"The slope is slippery, please be careful, sir and madam." Ming Xi said as he walked, "When there are more people, we will build a road on this hillside to connect with the climbing stone steps."
The Aizi Slope was not high, so they soon reached the top of the slope and saw Yi'er Mountain and a vast expanse of wasteland.
Shen Shihang and his wife looked at each other, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes - Mrs. Xi was serious, the land reclamation was real, the mountain purchase was real, and it seemed that the building of mountain steps was not serious either. Empty talk.
"Who are those people working?" Mrs. Shen asked curiously, "Are they the workers hired by Mrs. Xi?"
Without waiting for Mingxi's explanation, Zhao Lizheng said excitedly: "Madam, you don't know. These people were originally rogues from nearby villages. They idle around all day long and do all kinds of things! But now they have been disciplined and taught by the God of Joy, and they have repented." Make a new start, that’s why you stay here to open up wasteland and work!”
Mrs. Shen's eyes widened, "Received...received the teachings of the God of Joy?"
Shen Shihang also asked: "The God of Joy is the immortal who gave the medicine in the dream?"
"That's right!" Zhao Lizheng was in a surging mood and couldn't even control the volume of his voice. "I happened to be there that day and saw the God of Joy appear with my own eyes! It was invisible, but the voice of the immortal was like exploding above the head! It was shocking in an instant. There are gangsters! I have lived for decades, and I have never seen anything like this before. The magic of the immortal is really amazing!"
Ming Xi couldn't hold back her laughter. She tried hard to control her expression and said to the county magistrate: "Mr. Shen, it's just ahead. We made a few samples yesterday, just right for you to take a look."
Shen Shihang was startled and doubtful, but he barely came back to his senses when he heard Ming Xi's voice, "Ah, okay... okay, Mrs. Xi, please lead the way."
