Things are developing very quickly, and when everyone is still talking about this uncle incident and can't think about what to do, another piece of news came. At the time of the court meeting, the emperor suddenly announced that he would build a city in Huating County, Suzhou, and appointed Xu Wenchang, the concubine of Princess Lichuan, as the lord of the city. The official position of this city lord has never been seen in the Great Chu Dynasty, and all the officials are stunned at this moment.

This is nothing, there are even more exciting things, at the time of the court meeting, the fourth prince Liu Yan had never expressed his opinion, and now he suddenly became the first one to participate in politics, and he actually invited himself to Jiangnan to supervise the follow-up work of disaster relief. This disaster has long been over, why do you have to go to Jiangnan, when the hundred officials were puzzled, the emperor actually approved it on the spot, and invented a new official position for Liu Yan, that is, the three provinces of the patrol, in charge of Heyang Prefecture, Suzhou, Huzhou, a qiē thing, one level bigger than the history of the thorn.

All of a sudden, the courtiers were stunned. Especially the crown prince and the third prince, they were also in the court, and they got the news last night. The crown prince received a secret letter from the queen yesterday, asking the prince to quickly solve the fourth prince Liu Yan at any cost, and it can be seen that the queen is very angry. The third prince is too, originally he and his mother were bent on bringing down the queen and the crown prince, but before this problem was completed, a new queen candidate emerged, can this not make them angry? The third prince also secretly made up his mind to solve Liu Yan before he became a climate.

As a result, they only made up their minds yesterday evening, and they gave the emperor this appointment early in the morning. When everyone reflected, the holy decree had been issued. The four princes were already packing up, and the faster one was Princess Lichuan, who had already left the capital with her horses. This really made the prince and the third prince cry and laugh, but I didn't expect Princess Lichuan to go out of a woman's house faster than a man to clean up, and she seems to be a decisive person.

In the palace, the emperor listened to the report of the great eunuch Laiqing and said with a wry smile: "This Lichuan, why did she set off in the afternoon after the holy decree just issued in the morning?" What a decisive person, who easily resolved the situation I set for them. It's a pity. If Lichuan is a prince, even if she is from the Chen family, I must make her the crown prince. ”

Lai Qing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the princess is talented, decisive, strong, and very good. ”

The emperor listened to this disguised sycophant, nodded and said in deep agreement: "Hey. These children of mine. The most heartfelt is Lichuan. She went out of the capital at once. Where can I enjoy my family? ”

Lai Qing hurriedly said: "The emperor doesn't need to worry, the princess said when she left, this time I didn't worry about the horse outside, and I waited until I got to the ground." After arranging food, clothing, housing and transportation for the horses, the princess is about to return, a month faster, two months slower, she can't rest assured that the emperor and the concubine are gone. ”

When the emperor heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "I have long said that Lichuan is a good and filial child, and he will not forget his parents for the sake of his husband." ”

Lai Qing also laughed. At this time, a little eunuch came to tell him: "Your Majesty, just now the imperial concubine Niangniang Xuan Imperial Doctor came to diagnose the pulse. said that Niangniang's body was sick and needed to recuperate, and Niangniang asked to move to the hot spring palace on Lishan to recuperate for a period of time, which is an excerpt. ”

After speaking, the little eunuch handed over Chen Guifei's prayer fold. The emperor looked at it with a strange face and said, "Yes, but the affairs of the palace also have to be managed by the concubine." The Hengzhi Hot Spring Palace is also close, so let those eunuchs and palace maids go to ask for instructions every day. ”

The little eunuch hurriedly retreated.

The emperor said to Laiqing: "The concubine is really smart, she is the first in this harem." All right. Just do what they want. ”

Lai Qing lowered his eyebrows and did not say a word, and his admiration for Chen Guifei in his heart was a few percent more.

The next day, the fourth prince Liu Yan also went out of Beijing, and by the time the prince and the third prince reacted, Liu Yan had already gone far away.

A few days later, after seeing His Majesty Chen Yuanheng and visiting relatives and friends, Shi Shiran left the capital and returned to Jiangnan.

When he left the capital, neither of his sons left, and they had to wait for the outcome of the negotiations between the Chen clan and the emperor.

When the capital was in a bustle, Chen Wenhui was planning the layout of the Zhuangzi of the Chen family in Heyang Prefecture.

There are a total of three Zhuangzi bought in Heyang Prefecture this time, two of which are in the hardest-hit prefectures, and one is near Heyang City. The Zhuangzi near Heyang City has more than 11,000 acres, and Chen Wenhui is on that Zhuangzi at this moment.

According to Chen Wenhui's idea, the three Zhuangzi should first build a house where they can come and live. may have been forced by ultra-high housing prices in his previous life, and Chen Wenhui is the most enthusiastic about building a house for his family in this life. As a result, when I came to this Zhuangzi, I saw that there was already a beautiful house there.

Ziyu accompanied Wen Hui around the Zhuangzi and said: "Girl, this Zhuangzi is called Zixia Village, which was originally owned by the largest grain merchant in Heyang City, this grain merchant is very rich, and the Zhuangzi is very gorgeous, but it is too vulgar, this big red and purple, is it not repaired again." ”

Wen Hui smiled, this Ziyu is worthy of being from a big family, she has been dazzled here, but Ziyu is dissatisfied. Wen Hui said: "We have limited money now, so we still don't care, let's clean it up when we have money and leisure in the future." Actually, I'm too big for that, isn't there more than a hundred rooms? And a big garden, what a waste. We probably won't be here for a few years. It's a pity to put it in vain, it costs a lot of money just to repair it every year? ”

Ziyu smiled: "Girl, why are you so stingy, you don't like this Zixia Village for the sake of those few repair money?" ”

Wen Hui said: "My original intention was to build a house like Lijiagou for my family, enough for our family of five to live, and then build some ordinary houses for long-term workers to live in, after all, this more than 10,000 acres of land, how much do we have to hire for long-term workers alone?" ”

Li Huan next to him said with a smile: "Girl, I have a preliminary estimate, we have more than 10,000 acres of land here, there are countless small ponds, and there are three large ponds. And that's on the basis of ploughing the land with oxen. ”

Wen Hui bowed her head and calculated, yes, there is no combine harvester in this era, just relying on people to plant, even if it is ploughed with oxen, it is a long-term worker to take care of thirty or forty acres of land, which is unimaginable. Wen Hui thought about it and said: "Three hundred is too little, it will be a waste of land, so let's hire six hundred long-term laborers." In this way, each long-term worker planted nearly 20 acres of land, plus the help of ploughing cattle, this should be possible. Isn't this about building 600 houses? ”

Li Huan nodded and said: "It's not so practical, this Zhuangzi also has some houses for servants to live in, and there are more than a dozen small courtyards, it is estimated that more than a hundred can be arranged, and we can prepare another four or five hundred houses." ”

Wen Hui calculated: "This is also a big number." There's no way to do that, so let's build a house first. Hurry up and recruit long-term workers, by the way, you can't waste it, the money to build a house has to be earned quickly. When you go to recruit long-term workers, try to pick up husband and wife recruits, so that we can build a two-story yard and set up a workshop, so that the wives of those long-term workers can do the work, so that the long-term workers and wives have income, and there is a house to live in, and they must stay with us more at ease. The money earned by the workshop can be used to make up for the money spent on building a house. ”

Li Huan said with a smile: "This recruitment of long-term workers is worry-free, that person is not willing to come, this time there is a house to live, although it is only one, but it is much better than those landlords who let long-term workers live in Datongpu." And if you can come together as a husband and wife, your wife can still have a job, so that two people can make money, and it must be easy to accumulate a family business. ”

Wen Hui's heart moved and said: "After we recruit long-term workers, let them work for a period of time, and after this period, we will build a better house on the vacant land, the kind with a yard, a brick house, which is bought for long-term workers, let the long-term workers who have made money buy our house, and we can also make a lot of money on the house." Of course, this is a later story, this Zhuangzi is taught to be managed by your brother Li Shou, you talk to him, so that he can be prepared in his heart. ”

Li Huan was puzzled, would the long-term workers buy the landlord's house? But it seems that the girl's idea can work, and maybe you can't see it now, but you will know it later, so you nod.

Wen Hui continued: "At present, the first task is to recruit long-term workers, hurry up and plant wheat, and then when the autumn planting is over, there is less work in the field, and then start to hire these long-term workers to build houses for themselves, and after they are finished, let them take their families over and set up workshops." When winter came, they began to prepare materials for them to build roads. Although it is difficult to repair roads in winter, I think that there is less rain and snow in Heyang Prefecture in winter, and there are more sunny days, so it is better to repair roads. By the way, we have to build canals in winter, and these long-term workers are asked to do this, so that they can earn more money and buy our houses in the future. ”

Li Huan hurriedly agreed.

Wen Hui said again: "Ziyu, you go and bring this Zhuangzi's map, and let's discuss together to see how many canals and roads are to be built for Zhuangzi, and where to build the house?" ”

Ziyu hurriedly went to get it. When I came back, I brought Li Shou over. In this way, Wen Hui and the three of them began to discuss how to build a house, how to repair a canal, and how to build a road.

The discussion almost stopped, and Wen Hui was about to go to dinner. Seeing that this day was crisp and crisp, the outdoors was neither cold nor hot, it was very pleasant, there were many chrysanthemums planted in the garden, and they were blooming just right, so I ordered the rice to be placed in the garden, and let Ziyu stay to eat together. Eating in the garden, facing the clusters of chrysanthemums, Chen Wenhui remembered again, the chrysanthemums cultivated by Ziyu a few years ago, and the chrysanthemum banquet that time, he talked to Ziyu with great interest, while talking, while looking, Wen Hui suddenly found an interesting thing, that is, there was a bush of plants in the garden that Wen Hui had never seen. Wen Hui was very strange, so she asked, "What is this?" ”
