Chapter 1470 A guest of Marquis Shaliu
Qu Mao, Liu Qianhui, and Li Xiang trekked through the desert for more than three hours under the **** of 100 fourth-rank camel riders, and finally entered Shaliu City before 9 am on March 8, the fifteenth year of Tianxuan.
After returning to Shaliu City, Liu Qianhui directly returned to the Palace of Shaliu City to continue handling the government affairs of the Marquis of Shaliu City, while Qu Mao took Li Xiang to wander around in Shaliu City.
Of course, Liu Qianhui was busy dealing with the government affairs of the Marquis of Shaliu, while Qu Mao did not let Li Xiang return to the holy land too early, but took Li Xiang to visit the towns around the city of Salix, so that Li Xiang could fully understand how the Marquis of Shaliu lived in the desert. The inconvenience of building a town in the hinterland.
Li Xiang was naturally filled with emotion. Surviving in the desert is not an easy task, not to mention that the soldiers and civilians of the Marquis of Shaliu still need to build a city and improve the desert environment.
As for the Ministry of Iron and Fire's plan to build a rail foundry in Iron Mine City, Li Xiang entrusted Sunan to send the news back to the Holy Land, and the heroes and managers of the Ministry of Iron and Fire will naturally handle it.
On March 15th, the 15th year of Tianxuan, Li Xiang, who had been staying in the Kingdom of Shaliu for a week, was proposing to Qu Mao to return to the Holy Land, but news came from Xirong City that the three core heroes of the Holy Land in Emperor Yi's territory were about to come to the Kingdom of Shaliuhou. Visiting, that is to say, Kong Ming, Xuande and Xinping, the core heroes of the three core heroes of the territory of Emperor Yi, are already on their way to the Kingdom of Shaliuhou.
Naturally, it was not appropriate for Li Xiang to leave the Marquis of Shaliu immediately, at least he had to wait until Kong Ming and the other three came over and meet each other.
On the evening of March 15th, the fifteenth year of Tianxuan, Kong Ming, Xuande, and Xinping were about to arrive in Shaliu City. Qu Mao, Liu Qianhui, and Li Xiang also hurried to the northwest gate of Shaliu City, preparing to welcome Kong Ming and others.
Before the setting sun completely sank to the horizon, a group of knights slowly walked towards the northwest gate of Shaliu City.
When Qu Mao and the others saw it, they hurried down from the city gate and walked out of the city gate to meet him.
Kong Ming turned over and jumped off the camel, shook his goose feather fan, and said, "My lord, it's hard for you to stay in Shaliuhou country for so long. Although experiencing the special environment in the desert for a short time can make people feel refreshed, but living in this place for a long time It must have been extremely painful.”
Qu Mao smiled and said, "Kong Ming, it's definitely inappropriate to come to the Kingdom of Shaliu with bare hands as a guest, and it's definitely not appropriate to bring a gift with you now, but leave some suggestions for the development of the Kingdom of Shaliu when you leave. Or policy, I'll count you as having brought a gift."
Kong Ming bowed to Qu Mao with a goose feather fan in his arms, and said, "My lord, although my subordinates have brought gifts here, but before they leave, they will definitely leave supporting policies. After all, we are here for this matter."
Liu Qianhui beamed with joy, looked back over Kong Ming, and said with a smile: "Where is the gift? Where is the gift?
Master Kong Ming’s action must be extraordinary, and of course the policy must be the best. "
Kong Ming smiled helplessly and said: "Lord Liu, the gift is left in Xirong City."
Liu Qianhui's eyes turned into crescents, and he said, "The Marquis of Shaliu welcomes Lord Kongming, Lord Xuande, and Lord Xinping. Please let the three of you enter the city. After all, there is still a desert outside the city."
A group of people did not chat outside the city gate for too long. Although it was already sunset, the residual heat in the desert still made them feel uncomfortable.
After entering Shaliu City, the livability transformation of Shaliu City is not complete after all, the livability is not good, the temperature difference inside and outside the city wall is not obvious, Li Xiang also saluted the three heroes one by one.
Qu Mao said: "That is, after all, Xirong City is a town with the first priority for livable transformation, and Shaliu City is a town with the second priority for livable transformation.
The livable transformation of Xirong City is currently in the leading position among the 15 towns in the Marquis of Shaliu. After all, Shaliu City is a little bigger. "
Liu Qianhui led everyone to the palace of Shaliu City, and at the same time introduced the current situation of the Marquis of Shaliu and the city of Shaliu.
Xuande waited until Liu Qianhui finished the introduction, and then said: "My lord, Mr. Liu, I will just have dinner in the palace of Shaliu City, and I will rush to Metal City overnight.
The person in charge of the Metal City New Military Industrial Park reported to the Holy Land Logistics Department that there was a lack of raw materials for the production of musket stocks, so his subordinates brought a large amount of wood in their backpacks.
Before coming here, the subordinate also made a special trip to Liandao Green City to ask the owner of the Green City about tall trees that can be planted in the desert.
However, the lord of the green city did not give a suitable answer, but asked his subordinates to purchase 500 tree seedlings that were previously used in the desert in the northwest area of Shacheng, Gillette Province, the Tassel Empire. Both Lord Kong Ming and Lord Kong Ming have seen this kind of tree seedlings before. The growth rate is relatively fast, and it can be directly applied in the growth period about five years after survival.
The subordinates first brought 500 tree seedlings to try. If they can be planted alive, they will have to plant a new batch every year. "
Qu Mao nodded and said: "Indeed, Kong Ming and I have seen the trees in the desert in the northwest of Shacheng, but they didn't seem to be particularly large after growing for three to five years.
After dinner, I will let the fourth-level camel rider **** you to Metal City.
Xuande, since you only brought 500 tree seedlings, you should discuss with the person in charge of the New Military Industry Park: Plant them in the open space of Metal City after dawn tomorrow and before 9 o’clock, and it doesn’t matter if you dig out the camel grass.
In the future, we will use the industrial wastewater from the new military industrial park to irrigate, and try our best to feed the 500 tree seedlings first.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t keep them alive. Just purchase tree seedlings in multiple times and plant them multiple times.
Although today is March 15th, the voluntary tree planting day in Yidi's territory is March 10th. Now should be almost the best time to plant tree seedlings. Let's plant them as soon as possible. "
Liu Qianhui turned her head and said, "That's right, I forgot, it's the voluntary tree planting day.
Xuande, leave 10 trees for me, and make up for you 100 trees later, I will also plant trees in the palace of Shaliu City tomorrow morning. "
Kong Ming and Li Xiang also asked Xuande for tree saplings. Although the compulsory tree planting day on March 10 had been implemented in Emperor Yi's territory for seven or eight years, but Qu Mao didn't mention it. In fact, everyone didn't pay attention.
Xuande originally purchased 500 tree seedlings to solve the problem of raw materials for gun stocks in Metal City, but everyone asked Xuande for them.
In the end, even Qu Mao asked Xuande for 50 tree seedlings. Xuande had no choice but to give up 100 tree seedlings to Liu Qianhui and others, and repeatedly asked them to return 1,000 tree seedlings before the end of April. Tree seedlings to Metal City.
Afterwards, Xuande didn't even eat dinner, and let the fourth-rank camel rider **** him to Metal City.
