Chapter 363 Prosperous Tianhe County Chen Nuo's Son

The year was April 8th.

It is suitable for marriage, opening of the shrine, seeking offspring, and praying for blessings...

Hexia County, Tianhe County.

At this time, Tianhe County was already extremely prosperous under the governance of the uncrowned king of Hexia, Chen. Every family had surplus food and every household had a job.

Although there were many vendors on the street, the road was always open, and from time to time there would be people wearing black clothes and Chen badges to check.

There was no need to worry about being sick, as the pharmacy had free medicines. Of course, it only treated common minor ailments, and real diseases such as colds still cost money.

In Tianhe County, beggars have disappeared, and even the disabled can find jobs here.

The Yue people, the Yi people, the Yan people, the Gu people, and the white-clothed people can all live and work in harmony.

This place, even in the heyday of those dynasties, was a rare prosperity.

Such a prosperous place is naturally very attractive to outsiders. To date, Tianhe County has been expanded twice, and the population has reached nearly 300,000, just in the city, not counting the nearby villages and towns.

Even so, there are still people rushing over. In the end, it was Chen Deng who issued a decree requiring local township and county officials to give passes to Tianhe County.

This is how the trend was stopped.

Tianhe County accommodates such a large population, and naturally not all of them are farmers. According to Chen Nuo's guidance, Chen Deng transformed some people into workers, first improving the treatment of craftsmen, including apprentices.

He built a large number of handicraft factories, divided the work and cooperated, and the improved textile machines produced in Liuyun Xiaozhu increased the efficiency by two times, and there were also food factories, etc.

Although they are all relatively primitive and not as fast as the assembly line in the factory in the previous life, they have taken the first step and greatly improved the production efficiency. The products produced are currently mainly supplied to the towns and counties in their own territory. The scale of dumping abroad needs to be expanded, that is to say, the population and production tools need to be strengthened.

As for this, Ouyang of Liuyun Xiaozhu is already trying to build a steam engine.

To put it bluntly, this thing is still the process of boiling water. In front of a master craftsman like Ouyang who is capable of forging blood tools, you only need to have an idea and then give some time to study it. This is inevitable.

When you have these things, you can try to develop a real assembly line.

Of course, this requires a development process, but as long as the steam engine, which is a thing for boiling water, is made, Chen Nuo absolutely believes in the strength and brains of these master craftsmen.

As for himself, the master of blood tool forging?

He is already very busy with many things, family affairs, the practice of three kinds of cultivation methods, the use of the power of the trickster, the Siming organization, etc.... He doesn't want to be distracted to study these.

However, he was not busy with these important things at all, because he had more important things to do.

…

Chen Mansion.

The tall and majestic gate of the mansion was full of people at this moment. They were all common people, all looking at Chen Mansion.

At this moment, the gate of Chen Mansion was wide open. The doorman and others were standing here and talking about something, but the common people were unmoved. They came one after another, put down the things in their hands, and then left.

Among them, many old men were the leaders. They watched the young people put down the things in their hands, and then touched their beards with a smile on their faces.

The things in the hands of the people were some red eggs, lambs, clever links, lucky gold locks, longevity locks and other things related to children. What's more, some people brought the blessing signs they asked for from Qingliang Temple directly.

They were all valuable items that would not hurt their bones.

"Oh, what are you doing?" The doorman looked helpless. He wanted to drive them away but felt that he couldn't do so, but gathering here was not a big deal.

Several old men said, "These are all spontaneous gifts from the neighbors. Everyone is grateful for the general's blessing, which allows everyone to live such a good life without suffering from the chaos. Now the little prince is about to be born, and these are all little gifts from everyone. I hope the little prince will be healthy and happy, and as wise and brave as the general."

"Don't worry, no one dares to make trouble. If someone really makes trouble on this day, we will beat him to death without you having to do anything."

The doorman was helpless. Fortunately, the person who had gone back to the mansion to inquire also came back, "The master said that these are the people's intentions, and there is no need to refuse."

The doorman nodded.

Afterwards, he began to arrange these gifts in different categories. At this time, there was still a steady stream of people coming over and putting down their gifts. Some put down their gifts and left, while others stood aside.

Soon, the patrol officers sent by Chen Deng to maintain order in the city came.

Chen made arrangements for the separation of military and political affairs. There were constables who solved cases, investigated people, and arrested people, and patrol officers who maintained street order. As for the city guards who guarded the city, the county magistrate could not directly mobilize them.

As for the Tianhe Army, let alone, that was the power of the military generals.

These patrol officers were responsible for patrolling the safety, hygiene, and order of the streets on weekdays. The vendors respected and feared them. They respected them for eliminating gangsters and evil, and feared that they would follow the rules and close their stalls.

So when they saw them coming, many people quickly chose to leave.

Unexpectedly, these people just stood aside as if they were not in the gods, and did not move.

Everyone calmed down a little, and some noisy voices disappeared.

After a while, the gifts that appeared at the door of the mansion became more and more expensive, and the richer people came.

Among them were great craftsmen who had been promoted, and businessmen who made money from factory products...

At this time.

A group of people who were really rich, powerful and influential in the county also came.

The leader was the head of the Ning family, Chen Nuo's father-in-law, Ning Tianya.

Behind him was a long dragon of gift-carrying teams, and next to him, there was an object wrapped in red cloth carried by four people, which looked mysterious.

After that, it was the Diwu family and the Xiao family, two loyal families who followed all the way, and they also had heavy gifts.

In addition, there were the Chen family members.

Now, all the Chen family members who have some skills have taken off, so the gifts they brought are also very grand.

Chen Yong, Chen Li, Chen Xiao, Chen Hua, Chen Tang...

Except for a few people outside, such as Chen Ping and Chen Xiang, all the Chen family members came.

Even Chen Deng rushed over from the county government.

So, under the efforts of these people.

The whole street is now full of gifts.

...

Inside the mansion.

Chen Nuo, who was wise and majestic in the eyes of outsiders, was a little anxious at the moment.

He sat at the stone table outside the courtyard, seemingly calm, but he drank tea one cup after another, and his eyes frequently looked towards the room.

At the door of the room, the old lady walked back and forth, listening carefully to the movement inside, and Wang Qingxuan supported her beside her.

In the courtyard, a large number of servants were on high alert, and from time to time, servants would carry copper basins, gauze, etc. in. Because the room was very large, there was no need to worry about the problem of wind entering when the door was opened.

At this time.

Ning Tianya came in with people and said anxiously, "My dear son-in-law, how is my daughter?"

Chen Nuo glanced at him, "Hong Ye is still in the room now, and the midwife said that it will be fine in a while."

"Huh, that's good, that's good."

Ning Tianya breathed a sigh of relief and sat opposite Chen Nuo.

The two women who came with him were his wife and concubine. The concubine Cuizhu was Ning Hongye's biological mother, and she was looking at the room with a worried look on her face.

As a woman, and even more as a mother, she knew best how dangerous and painful it was for a woman to give birth.

In the past, she was so focused on pleasing her husband that she had always ignored her useless daughter, but later she regretted it, especially when she fled that year. If it weren't for her daughter, she might have died.

For so many years, she has always regretted it and has been trying to repair the relationship with her daughter, but Ning Hongye has a tough temper and has always been lukewarm to her.

Now that her daughter is going to give birth and become a mother, and she is going to be a grandmother, perhaps it is a good opportunity to repair the relationship with her daughter.

In front of the stone table, Chen Nuo chatted with Ning Tianya, but his mind was not here at all.

Ning Hongye gave birth, and he prepared a lot of things in advance.

All kinds of medicines that help to protect the body during childbirth were taken over, even the purple gold liquid was taken.

Such a lineup would not go wrong, but Chen Nuo was uneasy. He knew that he was too concerned, but he couldn't help it.

In this life, this was his first child.

At this time.

A sound came from the delivery room. Chen Nuo tensed slightly, and cracks appeared on the ground under his feet.

Time passed bit by bit.

When the sun was high, the sound gradually became lower, replaced by a sharp cry.

"Wow!!!"

Chen Nuo smiled, stood up suddenly, and came to the parturient.

After a while, the midwife came out with a smile on her face, "Congratulations, Master, congratulations, Master, your lady has given birth to a unicorn."

Chen Nuo waved his hand, "Reward!"

He immediately entered the room. The midwife put down her hand just as she was about to stop him.

The Chen family is a famous medical family, and they must know more than him.

Chen Nuo walked into the room and came to Ning Hongye's bed.

Ning Hongye's face was ruddy at this time, and there was no sign of blood loss. Only the hair soaked in sweat on her forehead told something.

She was holding a swaddle in her arms, and was gently rocking with a smile on her face, chanting nursery rhymes.

Seeing Chen Nuo coming, she handed the child out with a happy face.

"Husband!"

"Look how cute he is."

Chen Nuo took the swaddle, but saw that it was a baby with round and delicate skin, different from the wrinkled baby just born. At this moment, she was staring at him with her black eyes open, as if curious about what was in front of her.

Suddenly, she stretched out her little hand and grinned.

Chen Nuo stretched out his finger and let his little palm grab it.

A smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

It was the most sincere and cheerful smile.
