Chapter 159: Odds
"I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world."
This is a later generation's recounting of the war years, in fact, there are a few people who really experienced that kind of situation, and the real troubled times can not be made by TV and movies. Driving on the ring highway leading to the city, the statement of driving and Su Wei, who was sitting next to him, found that this time was not the same.
"It's deep again." The statement showed a disdainful look, and then looked at the road intently, she didn't want to cause a car accident or something on such an empty road.
"It's time for the boss's beard to be shaved." Su Wei looked at his side face, obviously a well-looking young man, but he wanted to keep a handful of beards and pretend to be an uncle, well, he was indeed a lot older than himself, but looking at it this way, he looked quite cute with a serious look.
Liu Yu didn't have time to deal with the two women's thoughts, the street outside the car window was full of lights, and all kinds of men and women hugged each other, all enjoying a peaceful and comfortable life. The place that should have been the county seat of Qiongshan has long lost the slightest trace of history, and high-rise buildings have sprung up like mushrooms, but what about that time and space?
The route that the business car is running on is about the road he built over there, for a few catties of rice and a few taels of salt a day, tens of thousands of people sweat like rain, and they are greedy for darkness in the morning on a hot day, and they are paid on time and in full in exchange for incomparable gratitude, as if they are really some kind of blue sky lord.
This is our ancestors, diligent, hard-working, hard-working, unless they can't survive, they can bear any grievances, they have been slaughtered and enslaved countless times, and they still survived tenaciously and became the undisputed masters of this land.
"Ugh." Liu Yu shook his head in disappointment, as a capitalist, conscience is a redundant and extravagant thing, and it should be his job to squeeze the surplus value of workers and reduce the cost of products.
"Would you like to get something to eat first?"
Noticing his strangeness, Su asked in a low voice.
"Go back first, I want to take a bath, you call something up, if you don't eat, let's eat together."
"Oh." Su Wei knew that this was the result, she had never heard of such a businessman, she had never gone out to socialize, and as soon as she came back, she stayed in the room, either reading information or sleeping, so that she could make money? Her little head was a little confused.
Back in his room in the hotel, Liu Yu plunged into the big bathtub, the hot steam made his brain blur, the sweat on his head flowed down like beads, all the fatigue was released at this moment, it was really comfortable, he closed his eyes with such a feeling.
As soon as Su Wei walked into the room with a dinner plate, he heard unconcealed snoring, which could be heard through a glass door. She shook her head speechlessly, this is not the first time this has happened, and she doesn't know what the boss has done, tired like this.
It seems that this time it is very dirty, put down the dinner plate, Su Wei carried the long shirt he had changed, it was dusty, the pants were a little muddy, and a pair of cloth shoes couldn't even see the original color, with his net worth, this kind of color could be thrown away, right?
Of course, she was just thinking about it, maybe such clothes would be taken by some big professor? When she was packing up her clothes, there was a roll of paper in it, she opened it and looked at it, it was full of traditional calligraphy, or the vertical right reading format of the ancients, did she go to the countryside to collect ancient books? It looks very new, and it doesn't look like it.
Took the dirty clothes to her room and threw them in the washing machine, when she came back, she had an extra thick bathrobe on her hand, the boss's tank of water would cool down sooner or later, the air conditioner was turned on in the house, and if she didn't wear a little more after waking up, she would catch a cold.
Tiptoeing in the door, Liu Yu was already asleep with his head up, and Su Wei quickly changed the bathrobe in his hand and the one on the shelf. Before going out, she took a look, and the boss's brows had already relaxed, and she was a lot more relieved.
"I'm really sorry, I fell asleep again, how long have I waited, haven't you eaten yet?"
I don't know how long it took, when Liu Yu came out with a bathrobe, he saw Su Wei sitting on the sofa in a daze, with a few plates on the coffee table in front of him, it seemed that it had been a long time.
"Oh, you're awake, these meals are cold, I'll take them hot."
Hearing his voice, Su Wei seemed to be startled, and before Liu Yu could say "no", she quickly took the plate into the back, where there was a refrigerator and a microwave oven, of course there was no stove, this is a hotel not a home.
Liu Yu smiled and let her do things, walked to the refrigerator by himself, and as soon as he opened it, he saw a dozen beers, or the brand he liked, he knew that this was prepared by the girl next to him, and he was a little moved.
"Can you drink this?"
He took out a can and shook it at her, Su Wei watched his movements, and for a moment she lost her mind, she remembered the first time she met him, as if she had invited herself like this.
"It's okay."
Su Wei's silence was rejected by him, he just asked casually, stretched out his hand and took out a dozen, closed the refrigerator door with his feet, and turned around and walked towards the living room.
"I can't drink much, I'm afraid I can't drink much."
A soft voice came from behind, and Liu Yu turned his head and smiled at her.
"It's okay, feel free."
Maybe it was refrigerated for too long, and when the ring was opened, a stream of cold water vapor and the unique aroma of beer came to his nose, and Liu Yu greedily drank most of the cans in one go, or this thing was comfortable. If you get an ice storage over there and freeze a few pieces, your life will be better.
His requirements are really not high, and his hobbies are no different from the poor dick who had no money before, every time he sees him like this, Su Wei will feel that the distance between himself and him is not so big.
"Try it, it's really good, drink less and you won't get drunk."
Liu Yu greeted warmly, Su Wei knew that he didn't mean anything else, she hadn't tasted this kind of beer, and she didn't like the weird taste, so she didn't know if she could drink it herself.
Looking at her frowning, Liu Yu suddenly had a familiar feeling, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he didn't open his mouth to ask, maybe people would think it was that kind of old-fashioned accosting.
It's rare that there is no task that is not socializing, just simply drinking and eating, chatting and fartizing, Su Wei's mood is also very relaxed, intuitively, she feels that the boss has a lot of things hidden in his heart, but he has never confided.
"Fifteen, twenty, haha, you lost."
When the statement came, she found that the door was not locked, she gently pushed open a corner and looked inside, and saw Su Wei laughing and punishing Liu Yu's wine, her face was flushed, and it seemed that she had drunk a lot, and the statement stuck out her tongue and gently closed the door again.
"The opening of the market, the beast, one to five, the beast is not as good, one to three, buy and leave."
Back in another room, she looked at the expectant eyes of her staff and excitedly announced loudly.
In a different time and space, the lights of Lin'an City are brighter than any place in the world, and it is already very late, and the study of Chen Yizhong, the prime minister of Zuo Cheng and the Privy Council, is still brightly lit, and there are two pieces of music on his bookcase, which seems to be a little uncertain.
"Enxiang, these two are the pillars of the imperial court, and they have the right to do things, and they will dispose of it first and then play, which is also the meaning of the topic."
The staff deliberated his words and said cautiously, his meaning was obvious, everything had been done, there was no need to worry about it, it was not early now, so it was better to rest and sleep.
"Do you think this is too much?"
After a while, Chen Yizhong said leisurely, he didn't know the meaning of the staff's words, the two are important ministers, one sits in Jiankang and holds the two rivers and two Huai, and the other is in charge of the Hai Division at an advanced age, their words can make waves in the court at any time, and even the political hall is not easy to interfere with.
But this does not mean that he can condone this kind of domineering behavior, without the cardinal, one used the prisoners without authorization, and the other transferred the navy army to another place, and everything was done, only to write a few words to inform him, can he be angry?
But if he is angry, what can he do? Send a letter to reprimand? Or is it an explicit punishment? Such ordinary means are useless, not to mention, they can't implement it yet, and Chen Yizhong naturally won't do meaningless things, what he wants to know is whether there is another deep meaning behind these two.
The purpose of the captives is Qiongzhou, and it is impossible to build the city without manpower, whether it is Li Tingzhi or Ye Mengding, both Li Tingzhi and Ye Mengding emphasized this point, the imperial court can't afford the wages, and there is no way to take the captives to the top, but once so many people are sent to that island, will there be variables? He had to think it through.
Strictly speaking, this has little to do with military affairs, if it weren't for the naval army to which Hai Si belongs, he wouldn't be able to send him here, but since he came, he wouldn't let it go.
"Enxiang, my subordinates think it's better to be cautious, since both of you have made a guarantee for this, you might as well take a look."
The staff means that someone is responsible for something anyway, so why bother to insert another lever? Chen Yizhong glanced at him and didn't speak, he had a faint feeling in his heart, this matter is not so simple, maybe something big will happen behind it.
These days, there is an endless stream of envoys from the capital to the south, he knows where he goes, and it is not difficult to guess what to do, at least for the time being, Quanzhou is still a major part of the imperial court's finances, and he does not want to destroy it lightly for the sake of an illusory prospect.
The current shape is that the entire Great Song Dynasty is fanatically invested in the beautiful scenery woven by the young man, and the blatant support of the two important ministers will undoubtedly make this shape more tilted, Chen Yizhong is a person who seeks stability, and he does not want too much change to happen at this moment, which affects the decision-making of the imperial court.
"Forget it, let's stay in the middle."
Thinking of the people behind this matter, Chen Yizhong still reluctantly compromised, the premonition was just a premonition, he couldn't use this to set off a storm, that would violate the principle of seeking stability. R1058
