"This is not caused by the heavy rain. It's good that there are bluestone paving roads in the city. The dirt road outside the city is so muddy that it's impossible to walk on it." Han Qinhu said with a bitter smile, "We are still riding horses, and we are all stuck in the mud.

It's like rolling around, it's even more difficult for ordinary people to walk." His light brown eyes looked at Cao Huaimin for a moment and said seriously, "Ms. Hong was thinking about paving the official road outside the city.

More convenient."

"Bluestone is impossible, it's too expensive." Cao Huaimin looked at the two of them with his dark eyes and said, after thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Use pebbles, they are all on the river beach."

"Pebbles? Is that possible?" Lin Nanzheng looked at him with wide eyes and said.

"Don't you have cobblestone paving at your house?" Cao Huaimin looked at him in surprise and said.

"Yes, the yard is paved two or three steps wide." Lin Nanzheng thought for a while and nodded, then hesitated and said, "But the cobblestones hurt your feet when you walk on them, especially if you wear boots with thin soles."

"These ordinary people don't have boots with thin soles to wear." Cao Huaimin rolled his eyes at him and said, "They are all straw sandals. They are even barefoot."

"So! Can these straw sandals hurt my feet and pebbles hurt my feet?" Lin Nanzheng said worriedly.

"Their feet are all covered with thick calluses and are not afraid of thorns, let alone cobblestones." Cao Huaimin said immediately after hearing this, looking at his breathable and light lambskin boots and said, "Not everyone has feet like yours.

, white and tender."

"I said, Old Man Cao, I didn't offend you, did I? How could you be so mean when you spoke?" Lin Nanzheng looked Cao Huaimin up and down and chuckled, "I know why Old Man Cao has no hope of getting promoted, but you are the only one who offends me with your mouth."

How many people are there?"

"You stinky boy." Cao Huaimin was so angry that he puffed his beard and stared, "That's what they deserve!"

"Brother Cao, don't be angry, brother Cao!" Han Qinhu quickly advised upon seeing this, "Let's just use pebbles!"

After Cao Huaimin calmed down, he looked at Han Qinhu and said, "These pebbles are not all the size of eggs. There are some big ones. Let's pick up the big ones and spread them."

"Yes!" Lin Nanzheng said with a smile.

"There are carts pulling some cobblestones to pave a three-step wide road in the barracks. The roads leading from the gate to the houses, kitchens, and toilets will be easier to walk." Cao Huaimin looked at them with sharp black eyes and said.

"Hey! That's not bad!" Lin Nanzheng looked at him with bright eyes and said, "Why didn't I think of that?"

"What can you think of in that head of yours?" Cao Huaili said rudely, staring at the head on his neck.

"Old Man Cao..."

Before Lin Nanzheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by Han Qinhu, "I will arrange for people to lay the cobblestones tomorrow."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Cao Huaimin looked at him and said hurriedly.

"What's wrong?" Han Qinhu looked at him with confusion and asked.

"You think you just pull the pebbles back and press them directly into the soil and that's it." Cao Huaimin said with his eyebrows twitching as he looked at the two of them.

"Isn't it?" Lin Nanzheng blinked at him and said.

"Oh my god, this water flows to lower areas, you have to level it, level it, slope, slope." Cao Huaimin caressed his forehead and muttered, "If these pebbles are placed in low-lying areas, it will be a mess!"

"Old man Cao, you are also from a wealthy family, so you speak more politely." Lin Nanzheng looked at him in disbelief and said, "It's insulting to be polite!"

"What's wrong? Can't I tell you?" Cao Huaimin stared at him and pointed at the short brown linen clothes he was wearing and said, "Look at how polite I am now."

"Tell me, tell me." Lin Nanzheng looked him up and down and said, "In my memory, Mr. Cao was gentle and soft-spoken. Why is he so angry now?"

"You crawled out from among the dead, and your temper can still be improved." Cao Huaimin said angrily.

"I understand, I understand." Han Qinhu looked at him kindly and said.

"But you can't look down on everyone! We haven't offended you." Lin Nanzheng said with wide eyes and angrily.

"Sorry!" Cao Huaimin bowed his hands towards them, "I really can't bear to see your childish play."

"Master Cao is good at this, but we don't understand. How can you blame us?" Lin Nanzheng puffed up his cheeks and looked at him angrily.

"It's not as easy as you think to be a civil servant. You don't just force the civilians to go there, point to a piece of land, dig it out or fill it in." Cao Huaimin looked at them with his dark eyes and said, "At least you have to go over the mountains.

To survey the terrain." Putting his index finger to his lips, he pondered for a moment and said, "This is just like sending out scouts before going to war to spy on the enemy and know yourself and the enemy."

Cao Huaimin looked at them with bright eyes and said, "I also want to spy on the enemy's situation, but my 'enemy situation' is the river, the terrain, and many unknowns."

When Lin Nanzheng heard this, he looked at him in awe, straightened his back, and asked humbly, "Unknown?"

"You didn't know that a problem suddenly appeared." Cao Huaimin said with a serious face, "You have so many military books, tactics, "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Thirty-Six Strategies", how many battles you have fought since ancient times, summary

How much experience has been gained? But do you know how many written records there are on water conservancy and how to calculate the amount of earthwork?"

"I don't know." Lin Nanzheng shook his head like a rattle when he heard this, and said simply and easily, "Just pull the soil out! When you have done enough, you will forget it."

Cao Huaimin sighed heavily, he really couldn't talk to him.

"Look at it and sigh again." Lin Nanzheng looked at him with a sad face and said with a smile, "We don't understand. It would be great if Mr. Cao understands."

"Forget it, I can't agree with you anymore." Cao Huaimin looked at him with lonely eyes and said, "You pull the cobblestones and I'll flatten them. The ground needs to be leveled. Don't let you work in vain."

"That's great." Han Qinhu said happily, and then added, "The crops in the field are fine, and it's raining heavily and we can't go to the ground. Let's use these few days to lay pebbles."

"Why can't I go to the ground?" Cao Huaimin looked at them doubtfully and asked.

"Haha..." Lin Nanzheng smiled unkindly, "It turns out that Mr. Cao doesn't know everything!"

"I'm not a god!" Cao Huaimin looked at him angrily and said.

"The rain is too heavy and I can't even walk on it!" Han Qinhu said with a smile, "The farmland is soft and muddy."

Cao Huaimin slapped his forehead when he heard this, "Look at me, we! We haven't even farmed."

"Yes! Growing up this long, this is the first time I have picked up a hoe." Han Qinhu patted his shoulder and said.

"I'll leave this matter to Mr. Cao." Lin Nanzheng clasped his hands and looked at Cao Huaimin respectfully and said.
