Since yesterday morning, Zong Xiu asked Jiang Chen to wait at the gate of the imperial city, wait for Cui Xianwen of the early dynasty, and then make a private appointment with the scarface guards, Jiang Chen has been gone for two days and has not even returned home.

Jiang Chen came all the way to the horse, and saw countless craftsmen busy along the way, especially when he arrived at the door of Zong Xiu's house, he saw the tall waterwheel, and glared at the boss: "President, when did this be installed?" It's a novelty. ”

"I just got it done, I didn't think it would be convenient for everyone to wash and irrigate in the future. Brother Jiang, come, let me introduce you to you, this is Teng Shilang of the Ministry of Industry. ”

Jiang Chen hurriedly dismounted: "Little Jiang Chen, I've seen Teng Shilang." ”

Teng Baichuan has been in the officialdom for many years, so he can naturally see Jiang Chen's details at a glance, although Jiang Chen has no official rank, he is just Zong Xiu's guard. But the person who can be called 'big brother' by Zong Xiu, how dare he take a shelf.

"Haha, it turned out to be Jiang Zhuangshi."

Teng Baichuan was also a scene person, knowing that it was inconvenient for him to stay any longer, he said hello to Jiang Chen, and then hugged his fist to Zong Xiu and said: "Master Hou, then the lower official will retire first, and if there is any problem with the project, you can just talk to a few team leaders." ”

"Well, Teng Shilang walks slowly, this official still has some things to deal with, so he won't be far away."

Zong Xiu was anxious to ask about the Scarface guard, and naturally thought that Teng Baichuan would go as fast as possible.

"Haha, how dare you send it to the marquis."

Teng Baichuan turned over and rode away.

Zong Xiu looked left and right, and saw that there were still many craftsmen working around, as well as people watching the excitement around the waterwheel, so he glanced at Jiang Chen: "Come in with me." Girl, you keep the door. ”

"Yes."

Yi made a promise, leaning against the door with the golden tiger in his arms, pretending to be watching the waterwheel, but his eyes observed the people nearby from time to time.

Zong Xiu led Jiang Chen into the inner room and asked in a low voice, "How are things going?" Words can be brought? ”

Jiang Chen also said in a low voice: "President, I waited near the palace for two days before I had time to meet the scar-faced guard. ”

"So the word got here? How did he react? Zong Xiu hurriedly asked.

Jiang Chen said with a strange face: "This ...... I don't know what to say. His reaction was strange anyway. ”

"Strange? What's so strange? Zong Xiu asked.

Jiang Chen said: "At that time, I pretended to be a passerby, first asked him if he had read the newspaper, he glared at me, and then I asked him what he thought of Taoyuan Sanjieyi, he seemed to be very sad, and before I could say the following words, he began to drive me away, and said that if I didn't leave, he would call someone." ”

"Forehead ......"

Zong Xiu looked suspicious, this reaction was strange enough: "And then? ”

Jiang Chen hurriedly said: "Then as soon as I walked with my front foot, I saw a few Cui family guards coming over with my back foot. When I thought about it afterwards, I always felt like he was afraid that I would be discovered by the guards, so he deliberately drove me away. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Chen paused and said in a tangled way: "This is also what makes me puzzled, if he is loyal to the Cui family, he should directly call someone to arrest me and treat him for the crime of sowing discord, why should he warn me when those Cui Mansion guards come over?" ”

Zong Xiu also wondered: According to Jiang Chen's statement, that scar-faced guard is quite strange. If he wants to be faithful, why does he warn? If he is not faithful, why not do it?

Zong Xiu couldn't figure it out, and asked again: "You have been in Chang'an City for the past two days?" ”

"Yes. The subordinates were afraid of delaying the president's affairs, so they stayed in the house of their former colleague Guozijian. Coincidentally, his house is on the edge of the imperial city, and you can see the palace gate when you open the window. ”

"Can you hear the other wind?" Zong Xiu asked tentatively.

Jiang Chen thought for a while and said: "Yesterday there was a murder in Chang'an County, a squire was wiped out, and more than a dozen people were killed. ”

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he said to himself: "I don't know which gangster who doesn't have long eyes dares to commit a crime at the feet of the Son of Heaven, isn't this a long life?" ”

"Hiss......"

Hearing that the bad handsome Dong Xuancheng was dispatched, Zong Xiu secretly took a breath of cool air.

Obediently, why did you provoke Dong Xuancheng's gang, if Dong Xuancheng really came out, maybe he would really find out about Qin Zhongsheng and Qin Zhongsheng's brothers.

After thinking about it, Zong Xiu suddenly said, "Brother Jiang, you go to the other side of the river again." ”

"What are you doing across the river?" Jiang Chen was puzzled.

Zong Xiu explained: "Isn't this a recent expansion, I plan to build a farm across the river, and Le Zhengyang is in charge, and now I am preparing it." The brothers of the Qin family are helping over there, you go over and say hello to the two of them, and let them accompany Mu Gang to Le Zhengyang's hometown and watch the young eagles come over. ”

Without waiting for Jiang Chen to respond, Zong Xiu said again: "After all, it's my own plan, and I have to buy an eagle, and I have enough money and everything, so let them go to Uncle Jiang's to get some money before leaving." ”

"Yes."

Although Jiang Chen didn't know why Zong Xiu asked the Qin family brothers to help buy eagles, the president's words were the highest order of the World Association, and Jiang Chen made a promise and left directly.

After a while, Yi walked in with the golden tiger in his arms, and when he saw Zong Xiu's sad face, he couldn't help but smile and said, "What's the trouble with the son?" Hehe, the waterwheels that automatically draw water have been built, and Your Majesty is indispensable for rewards, so why are you worried? ”

Zong Xiu wanted to talk, but when he saw Yi Dump's sweet smile, he deliberately rolled his eyes: "Son, I'm worried about money, oops, you don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, we have a lot of expenses inside and out, and the five million dictionaries owed to the Chai family are not missing, not to mention, now it is a circle of courtyard walls, building a factory, where not to spend money." ”

"Hehe, Childe just spent the investment he needs in the future in advance, and he is waiting to collect the money in the future."

Yi saw that Zong Xiu was depressed, and deliberately said it for the better.

Zong Xiu laughed: "Yes, when the major factories are on the right track, we will lie down at home and collect money." Girl, I'll get some sleep first, and you and Jinhu will go play. ”

Zong Xiu stayed up all night yesterday, and during the day in order to command the loading of the water truck, he didn't sleep, which would have been sleepy early.

Yi said anxiously: "Don't sleep yet, how can you sleep without eating." Childe, you see the golden tiger, I'll go and cook for you. ”

Saying that, Yi poured the golden tiger into Zong Xiu's arms, ran quickly to the canteen in Jiangjia Village, brought hot broth, and watched Zong Xiu eat it before leaving with the golden tiger in his arms.

In the next few days, the remaining two waterwheels stood smoothly at the upper and lower ends of Jiangjia Village.

On the Qujiang River, three waterwheels form a unique landscape, attracting countless literati onlookers, and the number of cruise ships on the river exceeds that of Mipi Lake in an instant.

And the paper mill has water, and Amber Yi has also started the first attempt to 'make paper from bamboo'.

As for the vicinity of Zong Xiu's house, it was full of the sound of banging and beating.

Not to mention, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry worked hard, more than 30,000 people started work together, and the wall of dozens of miles was erected in just a few days.

After the fence was drawn, most of the craftsmen who worked left left, leaving only a thousand people to work on the farm.

This morning, Zong Xiu got up early in the morning, and saw Yi walking in angrily: "Childe, I can't live this day, I don't dare to go out for several days." ”

Zong Xiu laughed when he heard this: "But there are scholars rowing on the river and visiting our waterwheel?" ”

Yi snorted affectionately: "This time it is even more excessive, they are all standing at the door of our house, and there are just two people who came to knock on our courtyard door, saying that they want to ask who the waterwheel is from, and they want to pay a visit." ”

After Yi poured his affection, he said dissatisfiedly: "Childe, you know, most of those scholars have been to Yi Feng Pavilion, even if I wear a veil, I am afraid that I will be recognized, and I dare not go out for a few days." ”

"Hehe, you can still be recognized with a veil, doesn't it mean that our girl is beautiful." Zong Xiu laughed.

Yi Qingqing blushed and said: "But I also want to go out to see the waterwheel, they don't spend money, why should they look at our waterwheel." ”

"You......"

Zong Xiu shook his head lovingly.

He understood Yi Yi's feelings, and it was not a way to crowd the door of his house all day long to see strange literati, so he thought about it and said, "Don't worry, in a few days, I will let people pull a net upstream and prevent the boat from coming down." ”

"Barrage? No, it's going to be held accountable. ”

Yi pours out and understands the law, Qujiang is a water canal, and if you really pull a net to block the river, you can't get through Jingzhao Mansion.

Zong Xiu said: "It depends on how to stop it and what to use to stop it." ”

"Childe, if I put up with it for a few more days, when they get tired of watching, maybe they won't come." Yi is still worried.

Zong Xiu laughed and said, "What are you afraid of, Childe, can I do something about digging a pit and jumping by myself?" ”

"But the girl is still worried." Yi muttered affectionately, she felt that she had just said the wrong thing.

Zong Xiu knocked on Yi Qing's smooth forehead and said, "What do you think about all day long, you have been wronged for a few days, and you have walked around the golden tiger in our yard, haha, the yard you just pulled is so big, it's not enough for you to visit?" ”
