Zhang Huaiyuan's face was indifferent, and he looked at Kuang Zhaoen and smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Kuang County has been thinking too much, there are many things that we can't know, since we can act like this, ordinary people can have such means?"

Kuang Zhaoen blinked, and he could hear a different taste.

First, Zhang Huaiyuan must know more than himself, and second, the person behind this must be a dignitary in Beijing, and he is definitely not an ordinary businessman.

Moreover, this road construction was tacitly approved by Tongzhou Mansion or Jingzhong, otherwise they would not have turned a blind eye.

Thinking about this, Kuang Zhaoen suddenly stopped panicking, lowered his eyes and thought for a while.

"Master Zhang is right, but what are we going to do now?"

Zhang Huaiyuan smiled, "Don't worry about Kuang County, in fact, what you are worried about is the sudden increase in land prices, and whether this road repair will have an impact on your county."

In fact, the increase in land prices is also a good thing, 800 acres of land, for Miao County is not much area, the news of this transaction is naturally spread quickly, the so-called buy up not buy down, this news will naturally attract attention, not to mention the competition to buy is almost the same.

At least other businessmen came, and then purchased land, the price can only be higher than the current 120 taels, if according to this price, the purchase of land outside Tongzhou can be more than three or four into good land.

As for the road construction, now you have also seen that the original official road has been in disrepair for a long time, and it has long been difficult to pass, if it is really repaired, it can also connect the canal wharf, Tianjin Port and the capital, and I don't need to say much about the pros and cons of this, right? ”

Kuang Zhaoen nodded vigorously, what Zhang Huaiyuan said was what he doubted, and now it was indeed suddenly enlightened, of course, he also heard the plan behind it, it was definitely more than that, but it was inconvenient to say more, Kuang Zhaoen stood up and bowed to Zhang Huaiyuan.

"I understand, thank you Master Zhang for solving your doubts, then I won't disturb Master Zhang's official business, and I will leave first!"

Zhang Huaiyuan nodded, "It's okay, but I still want to appease all the squires, and I can look farther, Tongzhou is a place where His Majesty has given privilege to develop, and it will definitely not come nonsense, so what to do, Kuang County Ling knows it in his heart." ”

Kuang Zhaoen kept talking about the New Year, and then left, as if he didn't want others to see him coming, so he walked out of the mansion directly along the corridor.

Zhang Huaiyuan let out a long breath, and at this time, there was a burst of laughter behind him, and a fat body came out from behind the screen.

"How many waves is this today?"

Zhang Huaiyuan said with a smile: "The third, the county commanders of Sanhe County and Wuqing County came early in the morning, it seems that you went to those two counties yesterday, right?" ”

Zhu Sanfu laughed, "Yes, the speed of buying land is very fast, and it will be completed in two days, but this Kuang County Order is still a keen one, and when you see that the land includes the wharf, you can find the intention of building the road." ”

Zhang Huaiyuan kept nodding, "Yes, it's the key thing he asked, otherwise I don't know how to reveal a little news, those two county commanders are just afraid that something will happen, after all, the squire almost fought because of this family, what are we going to do next?" ”

Zhu Sanfu smiled, "The measurement and measurement, although the data has already been made, we still have to ferment this matter, we should prepare the materials, and all the construction must wait until after the autumn harvest, otherwise the golden potatoes and corn on the ground will not be wasted."

Lord Liu's body is almost cultivated, I think the marriage arranged by the son's side is just these days, and these people are even more panicked when Lord Liu leaves, if someone comes to inquire, you can reveal more, I think in the next five or six days, the price of this land will rise by at least 20%.

As for the construction of the road, if we add the money allocated by His Majesty, we can do it ourselves, and at the same time the shops on both sides of the road will start construction at the same time, all of them will be of a uniform style, and all of them can be easily sold without publicity, which will be much more profitable than the participation of the squires.

Of course, this is just my idea, this matter will be transmitted to Gongzi tonight, everything is up to his decision, as long as the road starts to be repaired, businessmen from all over the country are attracted, and it is impossible for Tongzhou not to develop.

You can see that the major inns in the entire Tongzhou City are all full, and these people are all businessmen who have heard the news, and their eyes are quite keen. ”

Zhang Huaiyuan smiled and breathed a long sigh of relief, the previous busyness and tiredness were swept away.

"After listening to the words of the shopkeeper Zhu, I instantly became a lot clearer, if it is really such a unified construction, I think it is easier to control than raising funds to build roads, but it seems that more money needs to be invested."

Zhu Sanfu sighed, "Hey, my son-in-law is really for Lord Liu's help, there are also industries such as Rejuvenation Hall in Beishan, all the proceeds will be invested here, and it is naturally good to operate, if it can't be operated, there is really nothing left."

The prince accounts for 30% of all the investments in Beishan, and these two people can support Lord Liu without objection, which is really sincere, and I am very moved. ”

Zhang Huaiyuan nodded, "That's true, I remember that in Qingping County, because of the adults of my family, the uncle who harmed followed him into prison, and the son of the world sacrificed his life to save him at that time."

Along the way, I have really helped a lot, but this time it's okay, my family is also the brother-in-law of the son, but I didn't expect it to become a family! Hahaha! ”

Zhu Sanfu glanced out the window, it seemed that someone was coming again, and hurriedly waved his hand at Zhang Huaiyuan.

"I should go, it's really like being a thief to come here, and I hope Master Zhang will talk to Master Liu about follow-up problems, if he has no opinion, I will send a letter back at night, so as not to delay the progress here."

After saying that, he hurriedly walked through the back door, and a cloak on his body was tightly wrapped, and it was really difficult for him in such weather.

Zhang Huaiyuan looked out the window, called someone in and gave some instructions, and he also went out through the back door and went straight to the backyard.

Seeing Liu Renli read Zhu Sanfu's thoughts, Liu Renli got out of bed with his clothes on, Feng Yucian saw that the two were going to talk about things and quickly withdrew, after all, Liu Renli has been a little whiter and fatter recently, and he doesn't look like he is going to hang up at any time.

Liu Renli motioned to Zhang Huaiyuan to bring the maps of each county, and Zhang Huaiyuan had already prepared and put the maps and the maps of the land sale on the table.

Liu Renli looked at it for a long time, and then sat down and looked at Zhang Huaiyuan.

"Zhu shopkeeper is reasonable, if the hometown gentry and wealthy households to build this road, there must be a lot of differences, and there will be a lot of problems in the end, now he has collected the land for road construction, and the shops on both sides are built, and there will be people competing to buy it without much publicity at that time.

And the standard of construction, we can control, so as not to make the house price too expensive, if there are more businessmen, naturally gather here to start trading, if the formation of a large distribution place, our Tongzhou income will be doubled.

It's just that Zhou Heng has paid too much by doing this, and there is still Shizi, I owe them too much, and I don't know how to pay it back. ”

Zhang Huaiyuan disagreed, and looked at Liu Renli seriously.

"Actually, my lord, have you ever thought that this acre of land now looks like one hundred and twenty taels seems very expensive, but if it is built into a shop for sale, won't this price be several times higher?

Even if it is a lease is a considerable income, I think if you want to repay Uncle Zhou, agree to this matter, let them operate is a kind of reward, this is a matter of benefit for both parties! ”

Liu Renli was stunned, he hadn't thought about it before, but when Zhang Huaiyuan said this, he thought about it seriously.

"You're saying that the money spent on building roads can easily be earned back on the land and shops?"

"Yes!"

Liu Renli nodded, "Okay, then there's nothing to discuss, you send someone to inform the shopkeeper Zhu, just say it's my meaning, let them take care of this matter, it's better than dealing with these squires, they also know that waiting for the autumn harvest to start construction, this arrangement is too heartwarming."

Wait, this notice seems informal, Yanmo I will write a letter to Zhou Heng now, talk about this plan, in Zhou Heng's words, a sheep is driven, a group of sheep is also released, not bad at this point, as for the money, he went to worry, we ended up quiet! ”

After speaking, both of them laughed, and hurriedly wrote a letter one by one, and it was written and dried in a moment, and Zhang Huaiyuan took it and left.

Feng Yucian saw that Zhang Huaiyuan was gone, so he came back and looked at Liu Renli with a puzzled expression.

"What's your joy and how do you laugh like this?"

Liu Renli grabbed Feng Yucian's hand, the force in his hand was very heavy, Feng Yucian was startled, and he pulled him to stand directly in front of Liu Renli.

"It is indeed a happy event, the capital has been prepared, it is estimated that we will go to the palace to complete the marriage in two days, and the matter of Tongzhou will be lost to Zhang Huaiyuan and Zhu Sanfu, and when we come back just in time for the autumn harvest, you can tell me, how many happy events is this?"

Feng Yucian pushed Liu Renli away with a smile, her cheeks were still a little red, after all, it was a marriage, she initially felt that Liu Renli was not good, and she didn't want Liu Renli to leave alone.

didn't expect that this would cause a series of incidents after that, she was named the lord of Xianghe County, and was given marriage by the emperor, and she became the daughter of King Ning, and she couldn't react for a while.

She tilted her head slightly and looked at Liu Renli seriously.

"I don't need to be honorable, I just want to be with you."

Liu Renli hugged Feng Yucian tightly, Feng Yucian was startled and wanted to break free, but he couldn't resist Liu Renli and didn't move again, Liu Renli didn't make any further movements, just hugged like this, he was very excited in his heart, what more could he ask for if he had a wife like this.

"Well, me too, we'll stay together for a long time, although I'm clumsy and not tactful enough, but I'm sincere to your heart."

Feng Yucian pushed away Liu Renli, who had slightly loosened his arm, "Okay, hurry up and drink the medicine, and if you get better, you have to take care of it more carefully, if you don't have a good body, what are you guarding?" The development of Tongzhou you want also needs you to have a good body! ”

Liu Renli didn't argue, smiled and took the medicine bowl brought out by Feng Yucian and drank it all.

......

Two days later, Liu Renli took Feng Yucian and rushed to the capital, of course, he received a reply from Zhou Heng before.

The letter is really concise and to the point, and the main content is just three words, no problem!

Although it was simple, it made Liu Renli breathe a sigh of relief.

Before leaving, many people came to see him off, knowing that Liu Renli had just recovered from a serious illness, they were all happy, and his daughter-in-law was still the lord of Xianghe County, and no one questioned Feng Yuchan's background at all, but felt that the old emperor was doing this openly.

Several county orders and officials from the state capital have sent them out, and many squires have also come to see them off, and they understand very well that they don't hold a banquet here, this is the emperor's marriage, do you dare to have an opinion?

Various officials and squires all had one idea, that is, to rush up and ask when the road construction in Tongzhou would start and whether it would affect them.

But everyone just followed to see, no one dared to step forward, although Liu Renli came out by himself, but the walk was slow, just a few steps were already very difficult, people still have to get married, can't they rush up and ask?

Therefore, the process of Liu Renli's departure from Tongzhou was very smooth, no one came to stop the trouble, and there was no uninteresting want to find out a thing or two, and he might have dared to talk to Liu Renli before, but now it is absolutely impossible.

The daughter-in-law is now the righteous daughter of King Ning, the county lord of Xianghe, and it is very good for the princess to get this title, naturally no one said anything that doesn't hurt or itch, after all, it's too late to kneel and lick.

Watching the carriage go away, a group of people surrounded Zhang Huaiyuan, all with smiles on their faces, and approached.

"Master Zhang, I wonder if Shopkeeper Zhu has ever been here?"

Zhang Huaiyuan smiled and spread out his hands, "Don't be embarrassed, these things have never passed through me, I haven't seen what this Zhu shopkeeper looks like, and I want to see everything when Lord Zhizhou comes back." ”

They all shook their heads helplessly, and then scattered.

......

Two days later, the front of the Ningwang Mansion in the capital was very lively.

Qu Ziping held a basket, which was full of sugar melons and dried fruits, and the people who watched the excitement outside were a little bit more or less, and they were even more reluctant to leave.

Zhou Heng stood on the side with his sleeves copied, and Zhu Yunmo came up to poke him.

"I said, why are you listless?"

Zhou Heng shook his head and glanced at Zhu Yunmo.

"You go away, their marriage is simple, go out from the main gate and come back after a circle, sending relatives and marrying relatives are all the same place, last night Brother Liu pulled me to chat all night, you don't know, I'm so sleepy, I don't have any thoughts!"

Zhu Yunmo sneered, he had already heard Pang Qi say about last night, who would have thought that a groom official, who didn't sleep on the eve of the wedding, would pull Zhou Heng to talk about the road construction in Tongzhou, such a groom is indeed the only one.

"My brother-in-law too, it seems that he has been suffocated these days, so you should work hard and talk to him more, after all, the next development of Tongzhou is what he misses the most."

Zhou Heng raised his heavy eyelids and glanced at Zhu Yunmo.

"Okay, I'll go in and sleep for a while, and call me when the banquet starts, otherwise I really won't be able to stay up."

Zhu Yunmo hugged Zhou Heng's arm, widened his eyes, and said in a low voice:

"Hey, I said you are still here, don't go and hold on, you see that Master Zhang is here."

Following the direction of Zhu Yunmo's finger, Zhou Heng yawned and turned his head, not to mention that he didn't deceive Zhou Heng this time, it was really Zhang Fuling who came with his family and hurriedly walked over.

"Lord Zhang is here, please come inside, I'll be back later, you can take Mrs. and Miss Zhang in to watch the ceremony!"

Zhang Fuling had a smile on his face, wearing a regular dress today, supporting his wife, followed by his daughter.

"I don't know who arrived first, I'm a little late, I'm really embarrassed!"

Zhou Heng waved his hand tightly, "Don't say that, originally according to Brother Liu's intentions, I didn't invite any guests, but the holy decree was made like this, and many people still came to the door by themselves, and they couldn't push it out, right?"

Please come inside, there is a table for the female relatives in the back, the male guests in the front, Zhang Zhongtang and Ning Yuanhou have already come early! ”

Zhang Fuling smiled and motioned for his wife to take his daughter in first, and he grabbed Zhou Heng and stood in front of the door and asked.

"By the way, Zhu Xiaochang and Shizi's sister-in-law are not here?"
