Heishan Fort held another wedding banquet, and this time, Qin Chuan took his concubine.

Li Yueru was finally dealt with.

Wen Suxin went to talk about it again, and then Qin Chuan found an opportunity to press her against the wall and moved her hands and feet. The rude lady who was chasing Luo Daniu with kitchen knives all day long was treated like a quail.

A wealthy family does not hold a banquet for concubines, but Qin Chuan is not a wealthy family, but a native emperor, so he can do it as soon as possible.

On that day, another news spread among the Guandi Army and the people intentionally or unintentionally: General Qin was about to have a descendant.

The most feared heroes who have fought for the world in ancient times were that they had no descendants. If something unexpected happened, the entire country's power would easily fall apart, and the glory and wealth of those founding officials would also be shattered.

Qin Chuan got married for a year and there was no news about it. Some officials below were already anxious for him. Many people began to consider persuade Qin Chuan to take a concubine, first take dozens of concubines and give birth to a lot of dragon sons. After he ascended the throne, he would then establish an empress and a crown prince and enthrone the concubines in the harem.

As soon as the news that General Qin was about to come out, officials from various departments breathed a sigh of relief. They also heard that the general was going to take a concubine, and the second daughter of Li Pingdu, the master of Fenzhou Xuezhou. The officials rushed to tell each other like the New Year.

Qin Chuan was also very happy because he finally tasted the taste of three wives and four concubines.

On the day of the wedding, he had nothing to do, drank a round of wine with some officials and generals, and then hurriedly entered the bridal chamber.

He did not feel as pity for Wen Suxin as he was. This unruly lady had to discipline her so that she would not have to put on the house and untied the tiles for three days.

So, after lifting Li Yueru's red veil, Qin Chuan lifted her chin, looked up and down, left and right, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Although Li Yueru is not as beautiful as Wen Suxin, she is still a little beauty in this era.

The key is that he has white features, his facial features are quite delicate, and his figure is...

"Come on, take off your clothes and let your husband appreciate your figure."

Although Li Yueru is unruly, she is still a lady from a scholarly family. When Qin Chuan took her chin and looked at her carefully, her face turned red to the base of her neck.

When I heard Qin Chuan's words, my mind buzzed, and my whole body was so hot like a stove, and my heart was about to pop out.

Due to his personality, Li Yueru did not take off her clothes, but pouted and glared at Qin Chuan with a red face.

"There are three to four virtues, and you will follow your husband after getting married. You won't have learned these things."

"Hurry up, take it off and kneel on the bed, sticking your buttocks up."

...

The next morning, Qin Chuan walked out of the room with a refreshing breath, whistled a few times at the chirping birds on the branches in the yard, and then walked leisurely towards the front yard.

Li Yueru was tidying up under the servitude of a new maid, and then walked awkwardly towards Wen Suxin's yard in small steps.

She had to pay tribute to the eldest lady.

Another maid quickly put away a sheet with red leaves on the bed, hung it in the middle of the yard, and spread the red leaves in the most conspicuous position.

...

Qin Chuan originally wanted to go to Heishan to see it, but before he left, the sky suddenly stormed with wind and clouds, and dark clouds were overwhelming, and the sky became gloomy.

Not long after, raindrops as big as beans began to fall from the sky.

It's raining.

The Luliang Mountains have been drought for nearly a year.

Except for a few snowfalls in winter, there has been no rain in the whole year.

This is also a rare situation throughout the Little Ice Age.

Many of the hundreds of ponds and reservoirs excavated by the Agricultural Department have dried up. Many of the crops in the treatment area have grown decadent due to lack of water and even died. The harvest this year is definitely much lower than in previous years.

Now, it’s finally raining, and some crops can finally drink water. Before the autumn harvest at the end of September, a certain amount of yield should be increased.

Qin Chuan went to the Household Administration Department to learn about the progress of the water conservancy project.

Once this rain arrives, it means that the rainy season is coming, but the rainy season in the northwest region is generally very short, only ten days and half a month.

Therefore, Qinchuan attaches great importance to water conservancy projects and builds large quantities of ponds and reservoirs, and should try to build them deeper to reduce the area of ​​the water surface and thus reduce the transpiration rate.

In a few years, the drought will be even worse than it is now, especially between the tenth and seventeenth years of Chongzhen, and the rainfall will be less than now. Moreover, not only Shanxi is affected, but also Hebei, Henan, Shaanxi and Shandong are also suffering from drought, which has completely turned into a thousand miles of red land.

Qinchuan should make preparations early, store more food, and establish a complete water conservancy project as soon as possible to deal with the drought that has not been encountered in five hundred years.

After leaving the Household Administration Department, Qin Chuan convened a kind of official general and announced that two new departments would be established: one is the Department of Integrity and the other is the Department of Business.

Since ancient times, corruption has never been cut off. Although it is the best for customers under Qinchuan, it is inevitable. Corrupt officials were found in several prefectures and counties, most of them were the Ming troops who surrendered during the Northwest Survey.

At this time, a department that specializes in supervising officials and strictly investigates and punishes corruption.

Unlike other departments, the names of the officials of the Integrity Department are not announced to the public, and the official office is located in a corner of Montenegro Fort, far away from the official offices of other departments, and the internal system is also very strict. If there is any leakage of secrets, collusion or even formation of cliques for personal gain, it will inevitably be punished severely.

In addition, Qinchuan also established a reporting system, and at least one reporting box was set up in all prefectures, counties, villages, etc., so that the people could supervise officials.

Another newly established business department, Luo Wentian, was in charge of all business activities within the country, from selling vegetables on street stalls to Black Mountain minerals.

Qinchuan wants to collect commercial taxes.

The next morning, there was no rain, Qin Chuan rode a tall horse out of the fort and headed towards Heishan along a newly paved railway track.

The railway tracks from Heishan to Loufan were built. The total length was fifteen miles and it took nearly half a year to complete. This was mainly because there were many uphill and downhill sections on the way, which made it difficult to construct.

Without machinery, the workers had to level the slopes and ditches with one hoe and one shovel, and dig out the roadbed. The project volume can be imagined.

Montenegro is an industrial area, producing cooked iron, iron pots, steel bars, cement, lime, etc., and a large amount of material is transported out every day. The transportation alone consumes a lot of manpower and is inefficient. A mule and horse carriage can only pull 1,000 kilograms of iron.

After the railway was opened, freight from Heishan to Loufan became much more convenient, and most of them were downhill all the way from Heishan. Therefore, a five-section car was loaded with 10,000 kilograms of iron, and a mule was able to move, which greatly saved manpower and accumulated energy.

But on the way back to Montenegro, they could only load half of the weight, and at least a dozen people had to help push and pull, because the return journey was mostly uphill, and if they were too heavy, they couldn't climb up at all.

Qin Chuan originally wanted to follow the railway to enter Heishan, but before halfway through the journey, a fast horse caught up and brought a message: Yang Yexing was here and wanted to see the general.

When Qin Chuan heard this, he immediately turned around and returned to Heishan Fort.

He knew that Yang Yexing was here to talk about shipbuilding.

Qinchuan invested, Yang Yexing and his old friend built a shipyard and began to produce the kind of big ships that Zheng Yiguan absorbed the advantages of the Fran robot gunships and built.
