The daughters of the other ministers stayed in the Mansion of the Duke of Qi, but Empress Changsun immediately followed Li Er and left.

She was also very curious about how Chen Chu did it in only half a year to build a super mansion covering an area of 500 acres.

The group hurried to the vicinity of Chunming Gate.

What greeted you was the tall gate.

Li Er stood at the front, staring at a few big characters in Nanshan Mansion, revealing a thoughtful look.

Empress Changsun said: "Your Majesty, the concubine looks at these words, it should be Yu Shinan's question. ”

Li Er nodded: "Most people in the court have told me that Chen Chu is arrogant and domineering, offended many people, and his popularity is not good, and now it seems that this is not the case, Yu Shinan has always been high and looks down on many vulgar people, but now, he can write an inscription for Chen Chu's mansion, it seems that their friendship must be very good...... Even people like Yu Shinan are willing to be friends with Chen Chu, so I can rest assured. ”

Empress Eldest Sun smiled.

She appreciated her son-in-law more and more.

The ministers also nodded their heads, agreeing with Li Er's statement.

As everyone knows, behind the crowd, Yu Shinan, who was standing next to Chu Suiliang, suddenly rolled his eyes and couldn't help but vomit blood.

He raised his hand and shouted, "Your Majesty, no, not this ......"

He wanted to tell the truth.

It's all that young man, who came to deceive and bully me, an old man.

However, Chu Suiliang next to him covered his mouth and whispered: "Lord Yu, you can't be confused anymore, now the world knows that you and Chen Chu are good friends, if you stand up now and say no, the explanation can be explained clearly, but think about it, you offended Chen Chu to death like this, with that kid's temper, once you hold a grudge against you, I'm afraid that there are a hundred ways to torture you to the point that life is worse than death, have you thought about it?" ”

Chen Chu......

Thinking of Chen Chu's evil smile, Yu Shinan shuddered.

He hurriedly shook his head, smiled at the ministers who came over and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I wrote this word to Chen Chu, and everyone thinks it's really good." ”

Seeing this, everyone was even more convinced that Yu Shinan and Chen Chu were in the same group.

Li Er smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, today, you will follow me to Chen Chu's mansion to have a look." ”

Everyone readily agreed, and went inside together.

After walking through the door.

When they went up a long staircase and reached a high point, they were dumbfounded.

What about the mansion?

Where is Chen Chu's mansion?

According to their imagination, the mansion, which covers an area of 500 acres, should be a building piled up with 500 acres of land.

But now, I can only see a few buildings.

Oversized mansions?

Inexistent?

On the contrary, it is a small path paved with cobblestones, there is a huge lake in the middle, the water quality is early in the morning, there are dozens of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and then look around, the grass grows and the warbler flies, on both sides of the road, it is full of osmanthus trees, and then next to it, it is a large bamboo forest.

Empress Eldest Sun suddenly pointed to the distance and said in surprise: "Second brother, look, over there, it's full of flowers?" ”

Everyone looked in the direction of Empress Changsun's finger, and saw only a sea of flowers.

Wang Jue said: "Your Majesty, Chen Chu is a bully, he was ordered to build a mansion covering an area of 500 acres, but now it seems that this is not 500 acres at all. ”

Li Er waved his hand.

There was no anger in his heart.

Because, in the face of such a beautiful and picturesque scenery, he suddenly felt more relaxed than ever.

It's beautiful, it's so pleasant.

Although there are also exquisite palaces, such as the Imperial Garden, the West Inner Garden, etc., the scenery is not bad, but, more often, it is still faced with the tall palace walls and the traditional style of the hall, which looks solemn and sacred everywhere, and it is rare to have a chance to relax.

Li Er glanced at Wang Qi and said, "With such a large territory, it is impossible for Chen Chu not to even have a place to live, let's go and have a look." ”

The crowd walked along a wide gray-and-white road.

Li Er walked and walked, and suddenly said in surprise: "This road is not paved with stone slabs......"

As he spoke, he crouched down and took a closer look.

I saw that this road seemed to be a whole stone slab.

Lines are carved on it to prevent slippage.

Wei Zheng suddenly exclaimed: "Your Majesty, this is made of cement, the same as the city wall!" ”

Wang Jue sighed with emotion: "Chen Chu is really extravagant, this cement is an artifact for building the city wall, the city wall built of cement is indestructible, but Chen Chu is good and used to build the road." ”

The road is not narrow enough for four troikas.

In the residences of the ministers of the DPRK and China, even the luxurious Qi State Mansion could not build a large road enough for four carriages to pass at the same time in the mansion.

No wonder Wang Jue's tone was sour.

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister suddenly understood one thing, that is, why Chen Chu was crazy about transporting iron slag from the north in the first place, this iron slag is the raw material for the production of cement, he wants so much iron slag, which is to produce cement to build his mansion." ”

Wang Jue slapped his thigh and said, "Lord Wei, according to what you say, those iron slags are waste in the hands of the imperial court, but in the hands of Chen Chu, they are treasures?" ”

"That's how it should be!"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Thinking that at the beginning, everyone thought that iron slag was useless, but wasted land to pile up, so Li Er ordered that all iron slag in the world was free for Chen Chu, and Chen Chu wanted to take as much as he wanted.

Now it seems that Chen Chu has made a fortune.

Li Er was in a bad mood.

I have suffered a loss of no culture.

The ministers also looked at each other.

Everyone's mood suddenly turned bad.

Wang Jue stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a proposal, since this iron slag is not a waste and can be made into cement, it can no longer be supplied to Chen Chu for free, is it to let him pay some money?" After all, those iron slags are also the remnants of the people who have worked hard to dig them up, and they are all blood and sweat......

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's not that the imperial court cares about this money, it's just that the people in the subway mines are living a very hard life, and after collecting the money, even if it can't improve their lives, at least they can be given some meat to eat." Gao Shilian, the secretary of the ministry, echoed.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"Lord Wang is right!"

"A few adults have a point!"

"Seconded!"

The ministers present all looked at Li Er.

Collect money from Chen, although this money can't go into everyone's pockets, but as long as they can get money from Chen Chu, everyone is very happy.

Li Er thought about it and felt that it made sense.

The iron ore belongs to the imperial court, and the iron slag is naturally also the imperial court.

At the beginning, he also thought that iron slag was waste, not only could not make money, but also took up space.

So simply give it to Chen Chu.

Now that he found that the raw material of cement was iron slag, coupled with the admonition of Wang Qi and others, he was also moved.

Mainly, the court is not rich.

And Chen Chu is very rich.

So he nodded and said, "Let's go back to the palace and discuss this matter." ”

The crowd was overjoyed.
