PFC Chapter 268 Surveying Moon Bay
Chapter 268 Surveying Moon Bay
At night, in the study room on the second floor of Sifang Building 9.
Silver Fox sat in the chair behind the desk.
Shopkeeper Hua stood opposite the desk, looking at Silver Fox's face full of burn scars, and said with heartache.
"Master, I found some medicine that is very effective in removing the scars on your face."
Silver Fox looked at Shopkeeper Hua's concerned gaze.
He smiled slightly and said, "I'll leave the burn scar on my face as it is for now.
When the overall situation stabilizes in the future, I will find a way to fix it.
This time, I brought the prince.
As soon as we left the palace, we were chased all the way.
In the mountains outside Youzhou City, the prince and I fell off a cliff. Unexpectedly, we fell into the river leading to Peach Blossom Spring.
When I arrived at Taohuayuan, I was already unconscious.
It was Aunt Lanzhen who saved me again.
And she saved the prince!"
Shopkeeper Hua asked worriedly, "I wonder how the queen is doing in the palace?"
Silver Fox sighed and said that both the Queen and the Emperor were in a bad situation and were having a hard time!
During the three years of disasters, some places suffered from severe drought, others suffered from severe floods, and the princes also conscripted able-bodied men to occupy their territory.
The people are living in poverty, the national treasury is empty, and the soldiers guarding the border cannot get enough to eat. I'm afraid they will suffer this winter!
If foreign enemies invade at this time, the situation will be even worse!"
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
After a moment of silence, Silver Fox said.
"An Yi and the others may come here in the next two days. We don't know how badly they are injured!"
Suddenly, Silver Fox seemed to have thought of something very important and said to Shopkeeper Hua.
"Uncle Hua, I have something important to report to the emperor. Please send this secret letter through that secret message transmission channel.
You know the code, after receiving the message, just ask her to hand it over to Rong Mama who is beside the Queen."
Shopkeeper Hua nodded, quickly went up to open the cabinet at the back, took out a small bottle and placed it on the table.
Silver Fox wrote on a piece of paper four fingers wide and handed it to Shopkeeper Hua.
Shopkeeper Hua took the note and said to Silver Fox.
"Master, please wait here for a while. If you are tired, go to the back room to rest."
Silver Fox nodded, "I'm going to go out for something later, you don't have to worry about me, just go and do your thing."
After breakfast the next morning, Li Lanzhen and Manager Hua were ready to set off.
But she never found the silver fox.
Li Lanzhen thought that he might not have finished his work, so she stopped waiting for him.
Shuiniu and Han Mingjiang also want to go.
Li Lanzhen asked Shuiniu's mother to keep an eye on the children, and told Shuishan to keep an eye on the whole family. As long as they didn't run out of the yard, they should be safe.
Shopkeeper Hua looked at Li Lanzhen's worried expression and said.
"Ma'am, there is no problem with safety. There are special people protecting the backyard, so don't worry."
There were two carriages. Li Lanzhen Shuiniu and Han Mingjiang were sitting in the back one.
She had also seen the coachman before. She had met him once at the foot of the mountain when they were transporting vegetables. Manager Hua was sitting in the front cart.
Li Lanzhen was still wondering whether the people he had invited to survey and build the dock were also in the car in front?
Later I thought about it and realized that I was overthinking. Manager Hua looked like a calm person.
That day, Silver Fox told Li Lanzhen that Manager Hua had followed his father in the officialdom and business world for many years, so this little scene should be no problem for him.
After leaving Youzhou City from the south gate, the carriage in front stopped.
It turned out that it was Shopkeeper Hua who called Buffalo to sit in the carriage in front to lead the way.
The road was not easy to travel on. Li Lanzhen felt the road was rough and bumpy while sitting in the carriage, sometimes going uphill and sometimes downhill.
She was thinking that if a pier could be built in Moon Bay, the road would need to be repaired.
By the time all this work is ready, it will probably be after the Chinese New Year.
The carriage ran for about an incense stick of time and then stopped.
Li Lanzhen and Han Mingjiang jumped off the carriage, looked up, and saw the Moon Bay.
At the entrance of Moon Bay and the river, there is indeed a thick tree lying across the water.
Shopkeeper Hua said to Li Lanzhen.
"Ma'am, please walk around. We'll measure here and see where is the best place to build the dock."
Only then did Li Lanzhen realize that the three people brought by Manager Hua included the one who drove her carriage.
At this time, a lot of tools were taken off the carriage.
Li Lanzhen couldn't figure out what it was used for, so she just nodded.
"Okay, I get it. You guys are busy. Call me if you need anything."
Han Mingjiang wanted to follow her, and Li Lanzhen glared at him.
"Why are you following me? Keep an eye on Shopkeeper Hua and the others. Learn more and see more."
Han Mingjiang chuckled and told his mother to be careful and not to run too far, then he quickly followed Shopkeeper Hua.
Manager Hua saw that Li Lanzhen wanted Han Mingjiang to learn something.
During the morning survey, Han Mingjiang was brought along, and he was constantly told how to survey, what he was doing, and why he was doing it that way.
The buffalo also followed closely and learned.
Li Lanzhen walked to one side of Moon Bay, stood halfway up the mountain and looked towards Shanghe Village.
Although the trees on the mountain are yellow and the view is wide, there is still no trace of Shanhe Village.
It seems that the distance is very far, that's good, this place has been built into a pier, and it has nothing to do with Shanghe Village.
Although the village chief of Shanghe Village is tyrannical, the villagers are independent and have no integrity or unity. They only care about their own families.
Although they did not make the Buffalo family's plight worse, they watched from afar and encouraged the evil deeds of the village chief's family.
Li Lanzhen did not see any kindness in them.
She found that there was a circle of watermark about two meters above the current water level in Moon Bay. It should be that the water level rose there during the flood, leaving a mark.
There was nothing to see on the mountain, so Li Lanzhen slowly walked along the mountain to the edge of Moon Bay.
She walked along the water for a while and found fish in the water. The water in Moon Bay was relatively deep. If a pier was built here, people from Xiashui Village would not have to pass through Shangshui Village and would not have to pay tolls to Shangshui Village.
An hour and a half later, Li Lanzhen saw Manager Hua and the people he brought with him packing up their tools and walking towards the carriage.
She thought that the investigation was over and they were going back.
Li Lanzhen walked to the side and heard Hai Mingjiang calling her.
"Mom, we're going back."
"Hey, here I come."
Wait until they returned to Sifang Restaurant and had lunch.
Li Lanzhen asked Shopkeeper Hua.
"Manager Hua, is there anything I can help with?"
"Madam, leave the rest to me. You must be tired these past few days. Go and have a rest first. I'll ask the waiter to call you if there's anything."
Li Lanzhen said hello, looked around, and didn't see any trace of the silver fox, so she went to the backyard.
