Chapter 461: Expansion of Qingshui County
After hearing this, Aunt Liu nodded, then bent her legs and knelt down, kowtowed to Zheng Sisi several times in a row, catching Zheng Sisi off guard.
Aunt Liu said, "Princess, you are our family's benefactor. Without you, none of us would have a chance to survive."
Zheng Sisi was helpless. It was really hard to prevent these ancient people from kneeling. She pulled Aunt Liu up and said, "Aunt, don't say this anymore. Everything is over. Just do your job well in the future."
Aunt Liu stood up and said, "I understand, Princess. I'll go do my work now."
Zheng Sisi nodded and watched Aunt Liu holding the purse tightly as she walked out of the hall.
After Aunt Liu left, Zheng Sisi took a sip of tea when Sheng Zhen came in.
Sheng Zhen never stopped looking at her and felt very distressed. He asked, "Are you tired?"
Zheng Sisi: "It's OK, I can handle it."
She twisted her neck, making a "click, click" sound.
Zheng Sisi said: "I haven't had a massage for a long time, and my neck is stiff."
Sheng Zhen stood up and walked behind her and said, "I'll help you press it!"
Zheng Sisi tilted her head to look at him: "That's not good, someone outside might see us."
Sheng Zhen: "It's okay, we didn't do anything."
Since he said so, Zheng Sisi had no objection. She let him do his best and she just sat back and enjoyed herself.
It's true that Sheng Zhen's technique was really good, with just the right amount of force. Maybe because he was a martial artist, he was very familiar with the acupoints, so he pressed very well.
People passing by outside avoided the scene and did not come in to disturb the two.
Zheng Sisi felt comfortable and pulled Sheng Zhen to sit down.
She said, "Sheng Zhen went to Qingshui County today. What do you think?"
Sheng Zhen took a sip of Zheng Sisi's tea. Zheng Sisi complained, "This is my tea! I've already had it."
What a guy! He is not afraid of being laughed at by others, nor is he afraid of eating his own saliva.
Sheng Zhen came closer and whispered, "What are you afraid of? It tastes delicious. I've already eaten more of your saliva. Are you afraid of drinking a little tea?"
This sentence made Zheng Sisi blush and stare at him with her mouth pouting. This man is bad! Absolutely bad!
Sheng Zhen was amused by her expression: “Hehehe!”
"You're still laughing." Zheng Sisi raised her hand to hit someone, but the person didn't get hit. Instead, her hand was grabbed by the person.
Sheng Zhen: "Don't hurt your hands."
Zheng Sisi withdrew her hand and sat up straight.
Sheng Zhen coughed lightly and said, "I looked at the situation in the county town today and felt that the flow of people was too large. The county town is small, so it's ok for people to walk, but it's very crowded for vehicles and horses to enter."
Zheng Sisi clapped her hands and said, "Great minds think alike! I think it's too small, too. I'll have no room for a few more shops."
Sheng Zhen said: "I think County Magistrate Cao is thinking about the same thing now."
Zheng Sisi nodded: "Well, Sheng Zhen, do you have any ideas?"
Sheng Zhen looked at Zheng Sisi with a smile: "Haven't you figured out a solution?"
Zheng Sisi raised her head and said, "Did I give you a chance?"
Sheng Zhen: "Why don't we talk about it together."
Zheng Sisi found it interesting: "Okay!" She saw that there was only a drop of tea left in the cup, so she said, "Why don't we write it on the table?"
"Okay!" Sheng Zhen cooperated with her and dipped his fingers in the tea.
The two of them wrote on the table at the same time. When they finished, they looked at each other and saw one word "expand" and the other word "build".
Although the words were different, the meaning was the same. The two looked at each other and smiled.
Zheng Sisi propped her chin up with her hand: "You said to expand Qingshui County, um, where is the best place to build it?"
Sheng Zhen scratched her nose and said, "Little clever girl." He continued, "Just build along the outside of the city wall, so that we can form an outer city and an inner city. The two areas are different, and if we do a good job of market planning, it won't look messy."
Zheng Sisi looked at Sheng Zhen with new eyes, which was exactly the same as her idea.
She asked, "Have you thought about how to build it?"
Sheng Zhen smiled and said, "This is your job. Design it however you want, Princess!"
Zheng Sisi raised her head proudly: "Humph, I won't tell you!"
Sheng Zhen chuckled and said, "What will you say if Magistrate Cao asks you about it tomorrow?"
Zheng Sisi pondered for a while: "He should ask you this question. Expanding the county town should be a big deal. It should be submitted to the emperor!"
Sheng Zhen said: "This is your fiefdom, you can make the decision."
Zheng Sisi shook her head: "I'd better forget it. I value my life and don't want to die young. It would be hard to explain if someone with ulterior motives took advantage of me. You guys go through the process and I'll come up with the design. Is that okay?"
Sheng Zhen looked at the little woman with a smile. When did she become so precious about her life? She used to be so careless and didn't care at all. Now it's better for her to be more cautious.
He nodded helplessly: "Okay!"
