Restart the Disaster of Another World

The road is about to be built, and for Wen Yu, the best road surface is naturally bluestone slabs.

This kind of road surface is flat and smooth, even if a carriage drives on it it will not be too bumpy, and it will not become dirty even if it rains.

However, the bluestone road has a fatal disadvantage, that is, it is expensive. It takes a lot of money to build such a road.

Although the money Wen Yu raised seemed to be a lot, it was still far from enough to repair the road. Fortunately, Jing Yao had the formula for cement.

As long as they can successfully produce cement, they can directly build cement roads, which is not only convenient and fast, but also saves costs.

Cement roads are flat and durable, and more importantly, they are relatively cheap. In addition, cement can be used not only for paving roads, but also for building houses.

Therefore, Wen Yu had already arranged people to set up a special cement workshop and asked people to start developing cement.

At present, the cement factory has been built. Jing Yao went to inspect it in person and found that everything was arranged in an orderly manner according to his requirements.

The raw material workshop, firing workshop and finished product workshop are all fully equipped without any errors or omissions.

Next, you just need to mine the mountains outside to obtain the required raw materials.

This job was too tiring, so Jing Yao asked Zhou Lin to escort the criminals here and let them do the job.

He was worried that these people would cheat and thus transferred ten more officers and soldiers to supervise them.

These ten people had followed Zhou Lin to arrest people before, and they knew that these people were evil and unscrupulous, so they were even more ruthless now. They only gave them a nest of wild vegetables every day, and they were not allowed to steal even a little bit.

However, there were still far from enough people. Every workshop in the factory needed manpower, and the limestone had to be transported back after being mined. There were some places where horses could not enter, so people had to carry it on poles.

So the officers and soldiers went to the village to recruit workers: "Do you want to find a job? Do you want to earn money?"

Of course the villagers wanted to work there, but when they heard they were going to work in a cement factory, they shook their heads and said, "It's a government-owned factory, and there aren't many good people among those officials. We won't go."

The men were about to shake their heads when someone rushed over with a smile on his face.

"Sir, I'll go, I'll go."

"Ma San, are you stupid? You have nothing better to do than to work for someone else?"

"You are stupid. The cement factory was built by the prefect. The county magistrate is also a good man. I am happy to work for him."

"Oh, Ma San, you can actually tell a joke."

"You are a person who only knows how to run out of the village every day. You don't know how to do anything serious."

The man said nothing more and watched coldly as Ma San led a group of people to register.

They are so eager to make money that they end up working for those beasts in the government. Bah, so spineless.

Ma San watched him wandering towards his home outside the village and didn't pay any attention to him.

A factory only has a limited number of people, and it’s first come, first served. He will regret it later.

Thirteen people from the village went there, all of them were on good terms with Ma San. Ma San knew some people in the town and was well-informed. Now he said that the new prefect was a good man and could do the job, so although everyone was skeptical, they still followed him.

Many people have seen what Wen Yu has done during this period, especially the road construction. Although everyone was skeptical at the beginning, as the project progressed, more and more people saw the benefits of it.

This road construction not only facilitates their travel, but also brings more possibilities for future development.

As a result, many people who knew what was right and what was wrong took action and supported this project in various ways.

Wen Yu was very pleased to see so many applicants. After all, the addition of these people would greatly speed up the progress of the project, and their enthusiasm also made him feel the value of his efforts.

After rigorous screening and interviews, a group of suitable candidates were finally selected. Looking at this group of motivated workers, Wen Yu felt an inexplicable sense of emotion.

Time passed quietly in the busyness, and everything in the yamen was proceeding in an orderly manner.

In addition to building roads, Wen Yu also allocated a large amount of funds to build water wheels and purchase rice seeds.

These two things are crucial to local agricultural production and must be completed as soon as possible. He knows very well that only by solving the food problem can the prosperity and stability of the region be truly achieved.

In the previous life, the north has always been a rich land, known as the "granary".

If he can successfully introduce rice cultivation technology and achieve large-scale cultivation, it will become a highlight of his political achievements.

At the same time, there are rich tea resources and various mountain products here. If they can be rationally developed and utilized, they will surely drive the rapid development of the local economy.

Thinking of this, Wen Yu's eyes became more determined, and he was determined to make this land more beautiful and prosperous.

Since Wen Qun got pregnant, Jing Yao's frequency of going out has obviously decreased a lot. Although he is still busy every day, he tries his best to eat three meals a day at home. After all, for a man who is about to become a father, accompanying his husband and unborn child is more important than anything else.

Most of the people in the county government are single, and even if some of them are not, their families are not around. Therefore, Jing Yao, the only one who is in a couple and is about to welcome a new life, has become the object of envy and jealousy. Especially recently, he always shows off his joy of becoming a father in front of everyone.

At first, everyone congratulated him and wished him a happy birth. However, this congratulations lasted for several days, but Jing Yao did not reduce his interest at all.

Not only that, he even became more complacent. He was no longer euphemistic and subtle, but showed off his happy life in front of a group of bachelors without restraint.

Today, Jing Yao is full of energy every day, as if he has endless energy. The excitement in his heart cannot be released and can only be expressed through words.

Moreover, the person he mentioned most often was his husband, Wen Qun.

"Who do you think my future child will look like? Me or my husband? A boy or a girl? Or maybe Shuang'er? It would be perfect if it was a Shuang'er like Qun Qun..."

Jing Yao's boasting made the people around him feel helpless and funny. They knew that it was because Jing Yao was too happy and excited that he behaved like this.

However, everyone also understood that the reason why Jing Yao could show off like this was because of his love and concern for Wen Qun.

Shuang'er's pregnancy and childbirth were very difficult, but Jing Yao proved his responsibility and commitment to the family with his actions. He not only took good care of Wen Qun,

They are also full of expectations for their unborn child. Seeing Jing Yao's happy face, everyone can't help but feel happy for him. At the same time, they also hope that they can find their other half as soon as possible and live a happy life like Jing Yao.

"If it's a daughter, well... it's better if she doesn't look like me..."

"Should I prepare some clothes in advance?"

"If it's a boy, he should wear this color; if it's a girl, she should wear that color..."

They asked him dozens of times a day, and they really wanted to beat him up.

"Master Jing, you should restrain yourself a little!"

"Constrain yourself a little?"

The person who tied the bell must untie it. Zhou Lin and his group, unable to bear it any longer, came to Wen Qun to complain and pour out their grievances.

"Okay, I promise." Jing Yao also knew that he had been too excited recently.

After getting the assurance, Wen Qun smiled gently. He knew that Jing Yao was so happy that he did such childish actions.

"What do you want to eat today?" Jing Yao asked.

Wen Qun said with sparkling eyes: "I want to eat grilled fish."

Ever since the mountain was blasted and the river was opened, many people like to run to the riverside and are very fond of this hard-earned river.

Seeing this, Wen Yu simply developed the water along the Jiaqing River. In addition to sending people to build boat docks, Wen Yu also had people plant trees along the river bank, build stone embankments and roads, and set up post stations and checkpoints to ensure safe and convenient transportation.

At the same time, people used bamboo to build small ponds along the riverside, and then put fish fry in them. The fish and shrimps they raised were fat and big.

There were also new changes in the fishing boats. Two bright lanterns were installed on the boats. At night, the fishermen rowed the boats, holding lanterns, and fished by the river.

With each cast of the net, they could always catch a lot of fish and shrimp. In this way, the people of Qingyang County no longer had to worry about having no fish to eat.

With the development of the fishing industry, grilled fish restaurants have sprung up in the city like mushrooms after a rain.

The grilled fish in the store is first slowly grilled over charcoal fire until the skin is golden and crispy, then the grilled fish is placed on a flat iron plate, and the prepared red chili oil and soup are added, and the fish is allowed to continue heating over the fire.

The fish is covered with special sour cabbage, sour bamboo shoots, fried peanuts, shredded radish, potato chips and other ingredients, as well as a variety of fresh vegetables.

Whenever night falls and the lights come on, many men will meet at the grilled fish restaurant, sit around the steaming grilled fish and enjoy this delicious food.

While enjoying the spicy and delicious fish and drinking wine, they seemed to have forgotten the day's fatigue and felt extremely comfortable.

In addition to grilled fish, there are other delicacies.

For example, shrimp and crab paste has a delicious taste, and roasted corn is sweet and delicious. These delicacies have become indispensable delicacies on everyone's table.

In the past, they didn't like eating fish because they thought it was fishy and had a lot of thorns. But since the advent of the magical seasoning chili, it, together with pickled cabbage, has successfully covered up the fishy smell of fish.

Nowadays, pickled fish, boiled fish and grilled fish have become their favorite delicacies.

Of course, the most important point is that there is a lot of fish here and it is very cheap.

This makes this delicacy affordable even for the poorest people in Qingyang County. The unique flavor of grilled fish is even more mouth-watering, whether it is the tender and juicy fish meat or the rich spicy flavor, it is hard to resist.

Even the old villagers who originally lived in the village and had never stepped into a restaurant for decades could not resist the tempting aroma wafting from the grilled fish restaurant, and they all walked into the store to taste this delicious dish.

Jing Yao was somewhat surprised to find that although he had been here for more than half a year, had made a large investment and opened several factories, these companies were all in a loss-making state.

However, to his surprise, since the grilled fish shop opened, it actually made considerable profits and became his only profitable industry.

Even so, this is still far from enough.

The output of grain crops still needs to be improved. Although the emergence of birthday sweet potatoes has enabled the people in the county to have enough food and clothing this year, there is still a long way to go before they can truly live a prosperous life.

Therefore, Jing Yao decided to continue to increase investment in agriculture and strive to increase grain production to meet the people's growing needs.

At the same time, he will also pay attention to the development of other industries, seek more business opportunities and innovations, and bring greater prosperity to Qingyang County.

With a good harvest of food as a solid foundation, people were able to solve the most basic problem of food and clothing, and produce a certain amount of surplus materials. In this way, they were able to actively participate in production and exchange activities, thus breaking the self-sufficient balance mode.

As time went by, Wen Qun's belly gradually showed signs of pregnancy. Since learning the news, the little life that was originally ignored by the two fathers began to show its existence in a fierce way.

Wen Qun suffered from severe morning sickness, and would vomit almost anything he ate. His physical condition became worse and worse, and although his belly gradually became rounder, his overall body shape became noticeably thinner.

Seeing the changes in Wen Qun, Jing Yao was filled with worry and distress. He quickly summoned several chefs and asked them to prepare a variety of delicious dishes and nourishing soups every day. After some efforts, he finally succeeded in restoring some rosy complexion to Wen Qun.

However, when Wen Qun was feeling miserable some time ago because he couldn't eat any food, Jing Yao was also extremely worried; and now when Wen Qun's appetite suddenly improved and he was craving for all kinds of food, Jing Yao fell into a new dilemma.

After all, not all foods are suitable for pregnant women. Although Jing Yao tried his best to find suitable ingredients, many of the things he wanted to taste were actually not suitable due to Wen Qun's unpredictable taste.

Therefore, Jing Yao had to find alternative foods to meet his needs.

Although grilled fish is not healthy, Wen Qun wanted to eat it, so Jing Yao did not refuse.

"Okay, but you can't eat it too spicy. You can only eat less." Jing Yao put forward the conditions.

Wen Qun pursed his lips, somewhat dissatisfied, but seeing Jing Yao's serious and unnegotiable expression, he could only nod in agreement.

After he dressed him and put on his cape, the two of them went out together. They took a carriage to the street. At this time, the lights were just coming on. Qingyang County, which had no curfew, was very lively, and the streets were full of people.

Jing Yao helped Wen Qun walk on the street, looking at the small things sold at the stalls along the street, and also went into the shops. In front of a pastry shop, rabbit, lotus, cinnamon and other shaped pastries were sweet and cute. Wen Qun liked these cute things. Jing Yao smiled and bought some of them. He couldn't eat them all, so he went back to give them to his brother-in-law.

Moving forward, Jing Yao and Wen Qun came to several grilled fish restaurants and arrived at the store they had booked in advance. They sat on the second floor, drinking tea and waiting, feeling the strong smell of cigarette ash.

At the stall at the door, the unique and fragrant grilled fish is placed on a flat iron plate, and the smell of the fish roasted under the charcoal fire is even more tempting. Some people are more creative and put buns in the shape of red lanterns in front of the store to attract people passing by.
