"A month and a half?" Zhang Yuan hesitated for a moment, and then said, "If I give you more manpower, how many people will be needed to complete all the places that need to be built and rebuilt within a month?" ”

The height of the city wall increases, and the city road also needs to be expanded by half a meter, and three meters itself is just right, which can easily accommodate five or six people side by side, but if it is replaced by Xihe soldiers wearing heavy armor, it still looks a little crowded, and the battle formation is difficult to open.

In addition, it was necessary to build turrets and fortresses (called enemy platforms in China) and other things that had been built in the future, as well as caves in the outer city, as well as small turrets that were extremely strong and easy to get up and down, and could hide from defensive stones and arrows at any time, for crossbowmen to shoot.

Although the crossbow array under the city wall is good, the Yuan Dynasty's return cannon is not vegetarian, Zhang Yuan doesn't want to exchange his crossbowmen for the opponent's soldiers, and at the same time, he can't use it when he clearly has an elite long-range strike force in his hands. Therefore, the construction of a small arrow tower is imperative.

Zhao Liang said helplessly: "This is not a problem of a small number of people, what Xihe City really lacks now is skilled workers and craftsmen, as well as managerial talents, or these are not lacking, but if you rush to work, it will be less!" ”

Zhang Yuan's face was a little ugly, and he asked, "Is it impossible?" ”

"Unless we recruit more skilled workers and craftsmen, and then increase the number of ordinary young people, then it is possible!" Now it is three shifts, working day and night, but it is difficult for a woman to cook without rice, even if Zhao Liang wants to speed up the progress of the project, he can only hurry up, and he cannot fundamentally solve the problem, or meet Zhang Yuan's requirements.

Zhang Yuan thought about a solution, but in the end he couldn't find any good solution. After all, a one-and-a-half-month project is indeed difficult to reduce by one-third of the time. Even if you want to recruit workers and craftsmen temporarily, the number of people you need is not small, and then you have to put in the work and take time......

"No, just like that, the time has been delayed for too long, and it can't be said that the vanguard of the Yuan army has already gone over before the construction is completed!" It's a big deal! 'Thinking. Zhang Yuan put together what he thought in his heart: "Zhao Liang, do you think this is okay?" We recruit craftsmen and workers and issue project rewards, and every day we get to the highest level of proficiency in construction-related skills. Ten taels of silver! Below the peak, above the fire. Eight taels of silver! The remaining five taels of silver. Can be cumulative! The management will reward him according to the achievements completed by his engineering team, and ordinary captives can become the people of Xihe City if they learn construction-related skills, and if they are promoted to a level, they will be ......rewarded according to the rewards of ordinary workers! ”

Zhang Yuan told Zhao Liang the draft he had preliminarily drawn up in his heart, and Zhao Liang nodded as he listened. "If this is the case, it can indeed improve everyone's enthusiasm, but there are still many unreasonable things that need to be revised. If the boss doesn't mind, please leave it to me! ”

Regarding Zhao Liang's self-recommendation, Zhang Yuan nodded and said: "You know the specific things better than me, you can draft a draft and then hand it over to Qian Tian for review, and then release it to everyone to know, even if it costs several times more than in the past, I also hope to see the complete construction of Xihe City in a month." ”

“haode！” Zhao Liang nodded and responded.

Zhang Yuan took Zhao Liang to inspect the construction site again, asked the person in charge about relevant matters, and just stopped and stopped, walked through most of Xihe City, and when Zhang Yuan ended the inspection unfinished, he was delayed here for almost an afternoon.

"General, the envoy of the Great General Zhenyuan is waiting in the mansion!"

After Zhang Yuan heard this, the originally diluted troubles came up again, and he hesitated, although he didn't want to face it in his heart, because he vaguely knew that this trip would go back, and he was afraid that there would be no good results, but it was useless to avoid this kind of thing, and he said with an unchanged face: "Well, I know!" That's it for today! ”

The craftsmen who were responsible for following Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, this afternoon was relatively relaxed and comfortable for Zhang Yuan, they were not comfortable, most of the craftsmen were aborigines, and the concept of superiority and inferiority was serious.

They were neither slanderers nor orators, and they sometimes said the wrong thing or said things upside down under pressure, and although Zhang Yuan did not blame them for this, they themselves scared themselves half to death.

When Zhang Yuan returned to the mansion, Fu Bo was drinking a little wine in the Octagonal Pavilion, and several servants were standing next to him.

"Fubo, you're really not polite at all......!" Zhang Yuan sat opposite Fu Bo quietly, filled Fu Bo, poured himself a glass of wine, and said, "Peony flower wine? It's still ten years, Fubo, you really know how to pick ......! ”

"What? If you're not happy, if you're not happy, I'll go back! Fauber raised his eyebrows and gestured to leave.

"Don't, how can you not be happy, it's too late to welcome!" Although he knew the purpose of Fu Bo's trip in his heart, Zhang Yuan still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. People are like this, even if they know the result, they hope that the result will not be as they expected, but as they hope.

"You kid, you're not honest at all!" Fu Bo didn't really want to leave, and when he heard Zhang Yuan's words, he sat down and said, "Tell me, what did you do again, since you let the eldest lady be so careful, write to you?" Let me tell you, this is the first time that the eldest lady has written a letter to anyone other than ...... main mother! ”

"Uh......!" Zhang Yuan shook his head embarrassedly, and said expectantly: "It's nothing!" ”

"Nothing?" Fu Bo became more and more suspicious, and said, "Are you sure it's really nothing?" ”

"Nothing!" Zhang Yuan felt an unprecedented embarrassment, even if he thought that his face was as thick as a city wall, he was embarrassed to take this matter out and talk about it as if no one was around.

"Forget it, I don't want to say that my old man won't ask!" Fu Bo didn't force it, took out a wax-sealed letter from his arms, handed it to Zhang Yuan, and said, "Then, look at it yourself, if you want to say it, I'll listen to it, and I don't want to say it." I don't ask! ”

Saying that, Fu Bo leisurely drank a little wine and ate peanuts, he had a hunch that Zhang Yuan would definitely tell him, because this thing was strange, and he knew some of the situation more or less, and felt that there must be something between Zhang Yuan and the eldest lady. And although he is Xi Juan, he treats Xi Juan as his own daughter. Caring for nature is inevitable.

Zhang Yuan took the letter, but hesitated, after all, he was not the little virgin who didn't understand anything, and was even a little timid about feelings, so he hesitated. Waved off the servant, and opened the letter.

Fu Bo secretly looked at Zhang Yuan. My heart itches like a cat's claw.

With the strength of Forber. It would have been easy to read the letter without letting people know about it, but he didn't do it, even though he cared about Xi Juan. Now when I see Zhang Yuan reading the letter, his face is white for a while, blue for a while, and full of decadence. Looking unwilling again, he couldn't help but hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked, "How is it?" Do you want to tell me? ”

"Gollum!"

Zhang Yuan put down the letter and poured a sip of wine. Thinking with a wry smile: "It's really as Mr. Wenhe expected, but when I really face it, even if I have some preparations, I still can't help but feel lost, unwilling, and the sense of loss that is about to leave, it's really a nasty feeling, I swear, except for Xi Juan, there will never be a woman who will make me feel so sad!" ”

Zhang Yuan thought viciously, feelings are really painful, so he decided that even if he met a woman he liked in the future, he would simply take it directly, tie the other party to his side first, and then talk about it, and then he was so sad, he was afraid that he would go crazy.

"Hey, boy! Isn't it being reprimanded? Seeing Zhang Yuan's expression, Fu Bo guessed part of the matter, but he couldn't guess what was really going on, but this did not prevent him from taking out what he wanted from Zhang Yuan's mouth and said, "If you are willing to tell me, I can't say that I have a way to help you!" ”

Zhang Yuan's heart moved, and he immediately hesitated, do you want to say this? His courtship was also carried out in secret, hiding it from others, except for Jia Xu who knew, there was only the matchmaker, and as for Xi Juan, who knew, it wouldn't be too much.

The reason why Zhang Yuan is like this is that Jia Xu reminded him, if it is known all over the city, wouldn't it force Xi Juan into a corner, in this way, the success rate that is not high in the first place is afraid that it will be even lower, if Xi Juan refuses in anger for a while, then Zhang Yuan will not have the next chance. Hidden courtship, even if it fails this time, Xi Juan will not be affected by external factors next time, according to Jia Xu's analysis, as long as Xi Juan has affection for Zhang Yuan, the possibility of success for the second time is extremely high.

Zhang Yuan didn't think about it for too long, so he decided to tell Fu Bo that feelings can make people's IQ zero, but once there is a crisis in feelings, it will wake people up. Zhang Yuan was in such a situation at this time, and he planned to tell Fu Bo that it was not a moment of brain fever, but a careful consideration.

Fu Bo is the closest person to Xi Juan, and he is not a big tongue, and he is extremely familiar with Xi Juan.

Just these kinds, Zhang Yuan decided to tell Fu Bo, not to mention that if he was recognized by Fu Bo and had Fu Bo's help, wouldn't his chances of winning the beauty be greater.

When Zhang Yuan said the matter, Fu Bo spit out all the wine in his mouth with a 'poof', and then looked at Zhang Yuan with eyes full of disbelief, and it took a long time for Zhang Yuan to reply under Zhang Yuan's innocent eyes, and stammered and asked, "You say, you plead with the eldest lady?" ”

Zhang Yuan said with some embarrassment: "Yes, isn't it?" ”

"Yes, it's so good, no, no, I have to tell the mistress about ......!"

"Don't, Fauber, you're trying to kill me!" Zhang Yuan dared to let Fu Bo go, and suddenly bounced up from the stone bench and grabbed Fu Bo.

"I said, boy, don't pull me, it's a good thing, don't you want to hug the beauty? Tell you, my eldest lady is not bad, beauty, character, how many people in the world can compare? How could you miss such an opportunity? I see that you are also pleasing to the eye, although you are a stranger, but your character is okay, and you can still improve your ...... if you practice at a low point in strength! ”

'Nima, weishenme I feel like Fubo is selling goods pinch? How different from what I thought! Zhang Yuan thought speechlessly as he pulled, in his thoughts, Fu Bo should be angry, or mock him for wanting to eat swan meat, and then he showed his perseverance, impressed Fu Bo, and asked him to help him.

Can......

'It's all messed up Nima, God, can you tell me what's going on?' Zhang Yuan had the urge to look up to the cow in the sky.

Fu Bo was helpless when he was caught by Zhang Yuan, and said: "Okay, okay, don't pull it, you kid, can't I leave it?" What's the matter with two men pulling and pulling! ”

The two sat down again, and Zhang Yuanqi Ai Ai asked, "I said, Fu Bo, you weishenme ......!" ”

Fu Bo took a sip of wine, and the whole person seemed to be extremely happy, and before Zhang Yuan's words fell, he interrupted him and said, "I know you want to ask Weishenme that I will be so happy, right?" Hehe, it's okay to tell you, but let me ask you again, do you really want to marry the eldest lady? Eight sedan chairs to marry? ”

Zhang Yuan said without thinking: "Of course, don't talk about eight sedan chairs, even if it's ten or twenty sets, it's no problem!" (To be continued......)
