Yan Rongzheng had a big heart, and he didn't feel sad at all, he just let Zhou Xiangyun go down to rest, and he himself went to bed early. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The next day, Yan Rongzheng took Zhou Xiangyun out, and Zhou Xiangyun followed behind him and asked, "Lord Wang, it's been a few days of work, aren't you in a hurry at all?"
Yan Rongzheng looked at Zhou Xiangyun with a smile, "What's the use of being anxious? If this king builds the dam in a hurry, he will have to spend a lot of money, material and manpower in the future." ”
The two walked to a teahouse, there were few guests inside, all of them were some people who lived more prosperous lives and gossiped inside, Yan Rongzheng found a secluded place to sit down, asked for a pot of tea and said to Zhou Xiangyun: "You take two people out to investigate, and ask the local people if anyone is willing to work." ”
"Lord Wang, why are you asking this?" Zhou Xiangyun looked at Yan Rongzheng in confusion.
Yan Rongzheng smiled, "You just ask, then you will know what this king means, go ahead." Zhou Xiangyun listened and took people away.
Yan Rongzheng was sitting in the teahouse drinking tea, and he happened to hear two people at the next table talking, so he listened attentively, only to hear a fat man ask: "By the way, why did the embankment stop working? When will it start?"
The other took a sip of the teacup and frowned, "Who knows?" I heard that it seems that King Shen asked to stop, saying that the plan is not perfect and needs to be improved. ”
The fat man sighed when he heard this, and said: "Hey, you said that it is not easy for us to follow those adults to do things, I heard about this a year ago, and finally prepared so many stones and wood in advance, and now the work has been stopped again, and I don't know if it will start." ”
"That's right," the man echoed, and said, "Your stone is not afraid, the wind does not blow and the rain does not break, my wood is miserable, you said that if you drag it out like this, it will not let the pet be mothed and the rain will rot, and then you will lose a lot of money." ”
The fat man sighed, "You think that my stone will be fine, think about it, if it weren't for such a big project, who would I sell my stone to? If I don't stop the embankment, my stone won't be sold for fifty years, won't my wages be in vain?"
"So, let's still pray to start soon, no matter whether the embankment is built well or not, it will be true that our things will be sold," the fat man said worriedly, wasn't it good when King Qi supervised before? Why has it changed now that King Shen has changed, "It's better to be the Prince of Qi." ”
"That's right," the man took another sip before urging: "Let's go, let's go and discuss with those adults, and let those adults go and talk to King Qi." ”
Yan Rongzheng couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, some people actually said that Yan Rongzheng was not good, what a joke?
Zhou Xiangyun went out for a while and came back, and told Yan Rongzheng the results of his investigation, "Lord Wang, we asked roughly, and most of the people were willing to come, and they said that with this job, they could stay at home." ”
Yan Rongzheng nodded when he heard this, and stood up with some displeasure and said, "Okay, let's go." ”
"Lord Wang, what's wrong with you, you don't seem to be happy?" Zhou Xiangyun looked at Yan Rongzheng a little inexplicably, he was still fine just now, why did he become like this all of a sudden.
Yan Rongzheng glanced back at Zhou Xiangyun with a dark face and asked, "If someone says that you are not good, will you still be happy?"
Zhou Xiangyun touched his head inexplicably, wondering if anyone dared to say that his prince was not?
Yan Rongzheng was also unhappy on his face, but he waited and saw what means those adults had, and to see which side Yan Rongduo would lean towards?
Gan Lin couldn't stay for a few days, if she continued to live like this, the fine grain in the eldest aunt's house would probably be exhausted by her, thinking about the dry days, she didn't know how long it would take, so she resigned from the eldest aunt.
As soon as Gan Lin left, he couldn't wait to rush to Yan Rongzheng's side, and he didn't know how he had been in the past few days, and whether he had been harassed by Yan Rongduo.
After walking for more than half a day, they happened to meet someone sent by Yan Rongzheng on the road, and when Gan Lin asked, she knew that Yan Rongzheng had sent someone to pick her up, her heart warmed, and she was busy asking about Yan Rongzheng's current situation.
These people are also on an errand with Yan Rongzheng, although they don't know as much as Zhou Xiangyun, but they have heard of it somewhat, and now when they see Gan Lin asking about the situation, they can't help frowning, "The prince has been very difficult these days, he has to stay up until late at night every night, and King Qi is also urging him to do it." ”
Gan Lin was distressed when he heard this, and urged the driver to say: "Hurry up," Yan Rongzheng's temperament is busy, no one can persuade him, and she has to supervise a little on the side, maybe it will work, "What matters is his body, really." ”
Yan Rongzheng listened to the complaints of the two people in the teahouse that day and waited for someone to come to the door, and as expected, someone came the next day.
Yan Rongzheng looked at the few officials sitting down and asked, "I don't know what the adults are looking for this king?"
One of the adults surnamed Li saw Yan Rongzheng asking, so he took the opportunity to speak, "Lord Wang, the officials want to ask when the Lord plans to start construction, how can this embankment be ...... just start?"
Yan Rongzheng smiled when he heard this: "Your Excellency has a heart, as for when the construction will start, the king can't say, then you have to wait for the king's people to redesign the plan before it can start." ”
"I don't know ......," Li Daren wanted to ask again when he heard it.
Yan Rongzheng said: "The adults are only urging to start the construction, and they don't want to think about whether the construction of the embankment is reasonable, this king doesn't want to go into too much detail about this matter, in addition, the king turned over the accounts, and felt that the purchase price of those stones and timbers is really too high, and the king is thinking about finding a suitable opportunity to discuss with the adults." ”
"Then what are the prince's plans?" another adult surnamed Zhao couldn't help but ask.
Yan Rongzheng hooked his lips and smiled, and said: "Well, if the price is high, it will naturally be reduced, and this king is not the kind of ruthless person, all the materials will be half of the purchase price, if those merchants who supply materials do not agree, then all the materials needed by this king will no longer be purchased from them." ”
Several adults looked at each other when they heard this, and they all looked at each other in a heart-to-heart manner, and Master Li took out a silver ticket from his arms very interestingly, and was about to stuff it into Yan Rongzheng's hand with a smile, "Lord, this is a piece of the heart of several of our subordinates, and I hope you can accept it." ”
Yan Rongzheng looked at the silver ticket in front of him, and before he could make any reaction, a small guy broke in outside the door, pointed at Yan Rongzheng and said, "Lord Wang, can you do such a thing that violates your conscience? (To be continued.) )
