Zheng Tiling is the grandson of Duke Liang, so everything makes sense.
Thousands of people and thousands of faces.
Wei Guogong was resolute and brave, especially good at strategy. He entertained well during the march, the people did not work hard to fight, and had an excellent reputation. His third son Xu Wenzhu inherited the character advantages of Wei Guogong, especially his eldest and second brother.
As his grandson, Xu Yuelong is a generation apart. He is a bit lazy, but he is also calm-tempered.
Duke Liang is the complete opposite. He is extremely arrogant and a military general through and through. He has the ability and temperament of a famous general.
There are countless ridiculous things he has done. The defender opened the door too late and sent troops to attack his own city.
He raised his subordinates as private soldiers, and he had the final say in the advancement and retreat of military lieutenant generals, completely bypassing the court.
He killed prisoners more than once, violating Taizu's taboo.
For other generals, death a hundred times would not be enough. However, Taizu was extremely tolerant and only demoted him and changed his title from Liang Guogong to Liang Guogong.
His grandson Wei Lin looked like Duke Liang when he was young and was favored by him. He was even more lawless. He once went to Hechuan for training and almost caused a civil commotion.
He also likes to kill and surrender, slaughtering villages and genocide, setting fire to mountains, and riding horses to trample fields in order to kill thieves.
The longevity of a warrior can greatly extend the time of the body's peak period. Wei Lin is only thirty-five or sixty-six years old. Even if he never advances to the next level, he will still be at his peak for at least seventy years in the future.
For example, Xu Yuelong was of a similar age and had never been married, but Wei Lin had already raised more than a dozen adopted sons and placed them in the army.
If he hadn't had a good grandfather, he would have been dealt with by military law.
This is why Xu Yuelong said that Liang Qu would not have an easy time.
On the one hand, the two families have a history of enmity.
On the other hand, Wei Lin has an extremely bad personality, he is unyielding and unruly, and will beat or scold his subordinates who disobey discipline.
Liang Qu felt that the emperor asked Wei Lin to be the leader, but insisted on making Xu Yuelong his deputy. Maybe he was hiding some other thoughts.
There's just no evidence, it's too vague.
Xu Yuelong's disembarkation broke the silent atmosphere of the entire port, and the crowd became noisy again.
The officials and sergeants of Xu Yuelong's ship got off the ship one after another.
With the merchant ships at the river dock finally able to move around, they hired people to unload their cargo, and the whole port became lively.
Only Wei Lin's building and boat were deserted.
There are still many things to do today. One is to select the location of the Hebo office, and the other is to make a simple arrangement for the personnel.
Without Wei Lin's approval, the decision cannot be made with Xu Yuelong's consent alone.
But Wei Lin looked like "Don't mess with me" at this time, and Liang Qu felt it was difficult to deal with him.
Why.
The Ghost Mother Cult has not even started to deal with it, yet it is already causing such trouble.
Fortunately, he is just a little He Bo, responsible for carrying out tasks, and he is not without a backer.
It’s not easy to get along anywhere these days.
That one has a grandfather, and this one has a father, an earl. If you pick out any soldier at random, they are all direct descendants of Miaohong, whose ancestors have been in the army for three generations.
In the evening, Wei Lin seemed to realize that his pretentious coldness was delaying things, and finally sent an adopted son to discuss the address of the Hebo Station.
After some conversation, everyone decided to build a nearby highland on the bank of the Jianghuai River, halfway between Yixing Town and Pingyang County.
After making the decision, the soldiers started construction.
In the next few months, the temporary working location of the Hebo Station will be on the two building boats, which is large enough.
There is no one who can work in a river bank who cannot swim or get seasick. There are even many martial arts that specifically use water to perform, which has a multiplied effect, so that monsters can be fought in the water.
Xu Yuelong came to Yang Mansion that night and had a toast.
During this period, Liang Qu met his wife again, and her originally gray hair turned black overnight!
Sure enough, he couldn't see much effect after taking dragon tendon because he was too young and could not turn into a child even if his life expectancy increased.
But the effect of Longjin on Xu's body was too obvious. She almost looked like she was in her twenties or thirties, looking only in her early thirties. Coupled with her weather-beaten temperament, she looked even more dignified and beautiful.
I wonder how much dragon tendon is used to achieve such an effect?
Master Yang has more than five feet. It is unlikely that he will use them all, but he should have one foot.
It was not until five quarters after the dinner that Liang Qu called Chishan to prepare to go back. Just as he was about to reach out to hold the reins, Chishan opened his mouth to bite.
Liang Qu slapped it on the forehead with such force that Chishan shook his head and his eyes became clear again.
He looked at the groom beside him: "What's going on?"
The groom bent down and said: "In response to Young Master Ninth, if I read it correctly, Chishan is in heat. It is already April. The date is correct. Chishan is a big stallion. He will be irritated by the smell and his temper will explode." some.
Ninth Young Master, you don’t know that Chishan’s temper is only good in front of you. In front of young people like us, he is so strong that he almost rushed out of the stable today. "
"Oh, is there such a thing?" Liang Qu raised his eyebrows.
From the time he got to Chishan, he had never been disobedient. He thought it was Dashun Yuma who had his own tricks, but in fact it seemed that he was just a meal for others?
Could it be related to my Zeling?
Liang Qu thought that when he advanced in cultivation, the four beasts would often feel uneasy.
Maybe you can feed Chishan some king sturgeon meat. Maybe after eating water animal meat two or three times, Chishan will undergo some changes and become controllable.
Liang Qu rode up Chishan and returned to Yixing Town.
When he came to the courtyard, he was feeling the changes in the water veins underneath and thinking about where to dig a well. Suddenly, the sound of a wooden hammer brought his thoughts back.
Liang Qu climbed up the wall and saw Liu Quanfu who was still riveting wood and building a stable in the yard.
"Uncle Fu, are you still working so late at night?"
Liu Quanfu, who was concentrating on his work, was startled by Liang Qu's voice. When he turned around and saw it was Liang Qu, he patted his chest: "Oh, you scared me. Why don't you have nothing to do? Ah Shui hasn't slept yet? Did I disturb you?" "
"Not really, I just came back." Liang Qu jumped off the wall, "Uncle Fu, I want to ask you something, can you build a boat?"
"Ship?" Liu Quanfu was stunned, "What kind of ship?"
"Did you see the building boat today? It's just like that."
Liu Quanfu was dumbfounded and quickly shook his head: "Then I don't know how to do it. Although I am a carpenter, there are many ways to build a ship. If you ask me to build a sampan, I can build it, but I can't build anything more powerful, such as a awning boat. , there are those who specialize in the art.”
“We don’t want to build something that big. We need to make it smaller, maybe seven or eight meters tall. It doesn’t have to be underwater, it just needs to have a certain appearance, and some random structures can be inserted into it.”
"Building a ship but not launching it?"
Liu Quanfu has been a carpenter for half his life and has never built many boats, but he also knows how outrageous this request is.
We can’t build a ship but use it to watch it?
"Uncle Fu, if you can build it, I won't look for anyone else. Wherever I go now, there are foreigners and they are unreliable. In the end, they have to be my own countrymen. I won't treat Uncle Fu badly. The cost of materials does not count, and a boat is worth it." One hundred taels of labor cost.”
One hundred taels?
Liu Quanfu swallowed his saliva.
That's too much. It shouldn't be too difficult to build a small boat of seven or eight meters, right?
He murmured for a while: "I haven't tried it. I can't guarantee it. If Ah Shui doesn't do this, please let me go back and try it first. I'll make a smaller one first and see if it works. If it works, I'll take this job again. If it doesn't work, forget it. I can't cheat your money in vain."
"Okay, uncle, I feel relieved with your words. It's too late, so go back and rest early."
"Sure, I'll go back after riveting this rafter."
Liu Quanfu stood up the wooden strip and inserted it into another wooden strip to make a tight fit.
Liang Qu nodded and went back over the wall. He sensed the water vapor and found a water vein to dig a well on the spot. He took out a shovel he bought when he came back and started digging a hole.
Digging a well is not easy for ordinary people. The bottom of the well is cold and it is inconvenient to transport soil. But Liang Qu has no other strength and is very strong. It didn't take long to dig to a position of 14 to 5 meters. The bottom of the soil quickly became wet and mud continued to seep out. water.
There are generally two types of wells. One is a seepage well. This kind of well needs to be dug and paved with bricks. After digging, it takes two days to wash out mud and water before the well can be used.
The other is to open up the Yin River, which leads directly to the underground river. Sometimes you can even see fish in the well.
Naturally, Liang Qu would not dig the first type. If he wanted to be able to go to the Jianghuai River at home, he would have to dig a large well that leads directly to the underground river.
At 16:00, at a position of 17 meters, the bottom of the well was filled with solid rock.
Liang Qu simply gave up the shovel, smashed the gravel with his fist, and dug down another three or four meters. The sound of gurgling water finally came through the cracks in the rocks.
Liang Qu exerted all his strength and punched down while his energy and blood were flowing. A large amount of gravel shattered, and pieces fell into the underground river, splashing water.
The walls of the well were slippery. Liang Qu suddenly exerted his strength and one person lost his footing and fell into the river.
