Chapter 56: Repairing the Palace

(PS: Brothers, don't stop recommending tickets, use them to stone me.) )

On the first day of August, it was the day when the renovation project of the Liaowang Mansion began.

Ning Xiu and Sun Wufan came to the Liao Palace, and under the command of the officials, they began to carry out a comprehensive renovation of the outer walls, palaces, water pavilions, and song platforms of the palace. Some minor repairs are sufficient, while others require a complete refurbishment.

After all, the Liao Wangfu has been sealed for more than ten years, and it is inevitable that it will be dilapidated if it has been uninhabited for such a long time.

Coupled with the broken window effect, the more broken things are, the more likely they are to arouse evil thoughts in people's hearts and cause more serious damage to them.

The current Liaowang Mansion has an empty skeleton, and the lining is dilapidated, and it is in urgent need of overhaul.

Ning Xiu suspected that the 30,000 taels of silver were not enough, and maybe the court and the local government would have to add more silver taels.

The vassal clan is really a group of parasites that drink blood and suck the marrow, they can have a lot of wealth without working, encroach on land, bully men and women, and make the local chickens and dogs restless.

However, these golden branches and jade leaves, the nobles of Tianhuang still say that they cannot be touched, and most of the local finances can be used to support them.

The decline of the Ming Dynasty was largely due to the grandchildren of these clans.

However, Ning Xiu obviously shouldn't think about these problems now, what he has to do is to complete the renovation project of the palace as soon as possible, give Chen Xianling an explanation, and give an explanation to the new Liao King.

Ning Xiu directed the hired workers to paint the walls, and a man who looked like a palace steward walked over, raised an orchid finger, and giggled: "This is Ning Xiuning's son, His Royal Highness the King of Liao said that the repair project needs to be completed within three months, there should be no problem, right?" ”

In the final analysis, the Liao King himself could not decide who would contract the project. However, since the project has been outsourced, as the owner of the palace, the king of Liao can still urge the construction period.

Ning Xiu looked at the steward, and saw that he was five short stature, with light eyebrows and fine eyes, a short nose bridge, and no ...... in his jaw

Coupled with that ambiguous and fluttering eyes, and the erected orchid fingers, this guy shouldn't be a eunuch, right?

"What is this nobleman's name?"

"Haha, our family name is Miao, and the word is Hui. can't afford to be a nobleman. ”

The eunuch was also refreshed, and spit out his identity without hesitation.

Sure enough, it's a eunuch!

Regardless of whether it is a prince or a county king, there will be a large number of eunuchs in the palace. It seems that this Miao eunuch should have been by the side of King Xinliao for a long time, and it is estimated that this prince will be a confidant when he is still the king of Guangyuan.

Naturally, he couldn't offend the eunuch who was in power like this, Ning Xiu smiled and took out an ingot of fifty taels of silver from the money bag and put it in the hands of Eunuch Miao.

"Father-in-law Miao, meet for the first time, a little heart."

The corners of Eunuch Miao's mouth twitched, obviously a little excited.

Fifty taels of silver is definitely not a small amount, don't look at him as the palace manager, but after all, King Guangyuan is the king of the county and there are not many places to make money. The palace has been a little tight.

Although the prince is now crowned as a prince, the life of the entire palace has improved, but there is also a process. Of course, it is better to feel the silver than the possible benefits in the future.

"Ah, Ning Gongzi is really too polite."

Although he said this, Eunuch Miao stuffed the silver into his sleeve and said with a smile: "Actually, it is said that it is a three-month deadline, and it is not so strict. His Royal Highness the King of Liao is very easy-going, and it doesn't matter if he overruns it a little. ”

Ning Xiu sighed secretly in his heart, sure enough, there was money that could make the ghost grind. For eunuchs, money is the only thing to pursue.

This eunuch Miao seems to have been sent by His Royal Highness the King of Liao to be the supervisor, and if you have a good relationship with him, there will be a lot less trouble in the future.

In fact, the three-month construction period is not short, and it is about the same as the construction period estimated by Chen County's order.

Ning Xiu originally thought that the renovation project of the palace would be completed in about a month, but after seeing the dilapidated state of the Liao Palace, he felt that it was still a little safer in two months.

His Royal Highness the King of Liao gave a three-month deadline, and there would be no problem.

After chatting with Eunuch Miao for a few more words, Miao Hui excused himself and left.

Seeing Eunuch Miao walking away, Sun Wufan pursed his lips and said, "Why are you so close to a dead eunuch?" No man, no *** yang ......"

Ning Xiu glanced at him and said, "Brother Sun is still too young." Haven't you heard a saying? Only women and eunuchs are difficult to raise, those who are close are not inferior, and those who are far away are resentful. ”

Sun Wufan's eyelids jumped: "Why does this sound so familiar, I don't read much, Brother Ning Xian, don't lie to me." ”

"I lied to Brother Sun and did something, but I just changed a few words slightly on the basis of the words of the sage, and it does not affect my understanding."

Sun Wufan patted his head and said: "I remember, only the widow and the villain are difficult to raise!" ”

"Ruzi...... Villain. ”

Ning Xiu almost turned his back on him, and it shouldn't seem like a joke to see the dead fat man's serious appearance. Now he finally understands why the prince of the dignified governor gave up the imperial examination and devoted himself to business. This guy's brain is really not suitable for reading.

"Okay, don't talk about that. The renovation of the palace was not completed in a day or two, so you and my brother should go and have a good meal. ”

Sun Wufan patted Ning Xiu's shoulder with the style of a big brother, and said.

As soon as Ning Xiu heard Sun Wufan's words, he subconsciously clenched his money bag.

Although he is now developed, the money is also hard-earned, and the fat man can't wait to swallow a cow, and I'm afraid that the money bag will bleed heavily when eating with this guy.

Sun Wufan seemed to see what Ning Xiu was thinking, and smiled awkwardly: "Brother Ning Xian, don't be so nervous, treat your brother today, let's go eat and dip in the water!" ”

Ning Xiu: "......"

That's it, that's it, it's not easy for a dead fat man to have a treat, just dip it in the water.

......

......

Lu Mansion, Lu Youan, the head of the Lu family, was furious.

Inside the hall knelt a row of shivering strong men.

They are all generals of the Lu family, and they were sent to Wuchang by Lu Youan half a month ago to find an opportunity to abolish the little uncle Changfeng.

However, the little uncle was confined by Wuchang, and the Earl's Palace was heavily guarded, so they wandered for a few days and finally returned to Jingzhou in despair.

Lu Youan looked at the bunch of waste in front of him and felt angry, and waved his big hand and said, "Get out, get out of me!" ”

A cadre of families will scatter one after another.

Lu Youan's chest rose and fell sharply, and his face turned red.

The housekeeper Lu Fang limped over and said, "Master, the little one has a plan to completely bring down Uncle Wu Chang's father and son." ”

Lu Fang was beaten by Chen County's order and couldn't get out of bed for a month. Now I finally healed my injury, but I fell to the root of the disease, and I walked with a limp.

Of course, he had a grudge against Ning Xiu and Little Uncle Chang Feng, and he had been thinking of a way to take revenge all these days, and finally came up with a clever plan.

"Oh, tell me about it."

"Master, why don't you ask Mr. Chu from the Liao Wangfu to help?"
