Chapter 442: Rough Work
He secretly glanced at Cai Cong, who was already asleep and still snoring, so he let it go. Brush Xiaoxin tells a story about a child who is not beaten, and there are illustrations.
Arabian Nights, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Legend of the Gods, Inner Earth...... A thick stack of paper wrote a lot of stories, what made Li Tai crazy was that none of these stories were complete, the last dozen pages were the idea of a large amusement park, Li Tai felt dizzy after reading it, if this is built, I'm afraid it will be much bigger than the Hibiscus Garden, right?
The journey was long and boring, Li Tai couldn't help but look at it from the beginning again, he really liked it in his heart, if it wasn't for Cai Cong sleeping too soundly, he would have woken Cai Cong up.
What I hate the most is Cai Cong's situation of writing a little at a time and letting himself suffer in anticipation.
finally stayed up until Cai Cong woke up, Li Tai grabbed Cai Cong's collar and asked fiercely, "Did you write a paragraph on purpose?" ”
Cai Cong didn't even look at him, and asked outside with a yawn: "Why did you stop?" ”
"Back to Master Hou, we have arrived at the post station, the cook is preparing dinner, you wait a minute, the small one is already letting people clean the room."
"Well, it's arranged to call Ben Hou, Ben Hou wants to sleep for a while." Cai Cong said lazily, how could Li Tai let him sleep, grabbed his collar and shook it vigorously, Cai Cong couldn't sleep if he wanted to, and opened his hand angrily.
"Didn't you say you're not a child? These are written for children, what are you excited about? ”
"I ...... I'm a child, I'm a child! You hurry up and tell me what you think, and I'll tell you to do it with me again, and I'll go back to Beijing immediately, and ask my father and emperor to let me go to the fiefdom, and then you can see if I can pull up the army and make great contributions. ”
Li Tai said threateningly, Cai Cong glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Aren't you cheating?" ”
"I'm just up to you, what's the deal? Hurry up to the follow-up, tell me what you think, and I'll find ...... That's not right! Where do I get the money for such a big project? ”
Li Tai is going crazy, with his little background, how can he support the construction of a town so much consumption.
"No money? There's no money to borrow! Borrow from your father, borrow from your brother, and get together with your brothers. ”
When Li Tai heard this, he leaned over with a shy face and said, "Why don't you borrow me!" You're so rich. ”
"Stinky and shameless, I'm about to become a money bag, whoever is short of money wants to make a little bit of money here, I'm so bullied?" Cai Cong looked at him with disdain, not to mention this old Li family, as soon as the various departments of the court were short of money, they would be shameless to go to his house, and he was tired of it.
Li Tai looked at Cai Cong seriously twice, and said with great certainty: "Yes, you'd better bully." Otherwise, how can you ask for money? ”
"Roll the calves!"
Cai Cong said angrily, seeing that Li Tai didn't move, he jumped out of the carriage directly, and there was no way to communicate, Lao Tzu's idea was not enough, and he had to post the money?
"Eh, no, let's discuss it first, how much to give, isn't it? You see it's not easy for me, can I build 10,000 runs? ”
"Are you kidding me? 10,000 is not enough to buy land. You'd better not point fingers at me, I can't beat you to death with this money. ”
Cai Cong said seriously, there are dozens of people in the old Li family, if he supports them one by one, there will be not enough gold and silver!
"So what should I do? My dad couldn't have given it to me, he would have said I was a plaything. Li Tai said with a bitter face, all the taxes of his fief were confiscated by the eldest grandson, and he would not spend it on him at all.
"How do you know if you don't beg for it? Anyway, if you want something else to say, you don't have to talk about money. ”
Cai Cong said lightly, Li Tai came over and said shamelessly: "Then give me a few boxes of jewelry!" ”
", me off......"
Cai Cong kicked Li Tai's ass twice, so frightened that the guards around him turned their heads and closed their eyes and pretended not to see it.
"Kind noble son, give me something to eat! My son is dying of hunger! ”
At this moment, a woman outside the post station was holding a child in her arms, looking at Cai Cong and Li Tai with envy and longing.
"What's going on?"
"Master Hou, my subordinates were negligent for a while, and they actually let them get so close, and drive them away now."
The guard violently blasted the woman away as he spoke, Cai Cong kicked the guard on the buttocks, and said angrily: "Who told you to drive people away." Aunt this, what's wrong with you? Didn't the court give you land? I haven't heard of any disasters this year! ”
"Childe! Have mercy on us! This year's floods have flooded our hometowns, and the little woman and the child were swept away by the water, fortunately not drowned, but they were penniless, so they could only beg along the way in the hope of returning home to the men and children to be reunited. ”
The woman burst into tears as she spoke, Cai Cong frowned, and said to the guards: "Tell the kitchen to bring them some food, and by the way, ask where the mother and son are from, and ask the magistrate to send someone to send them back." ”
"Yes, Master Hou."
The guard hurriedly said, and then said to the mother and son general angrily: "Your life is really good, it is your blessing to meet the Hou Ye, come and eat with me!" ”
"Huh...... By the way, check that it is the flood in that place, although there is abundant rain in the south this year, it will not become a flood, check the cause. ”
Cai Cong didn't want to be nosy, but this person had so many things to do, he couldn't help but think about it.
"You're so nice to passers-by, I'm your good friend!" Li Tai said jealously, Cai Cong rolled his eyes and ignored him directly.
Three days later, when he returned to Yangzhou Mansion, Li Gang entertained the two of them in the Thorn History Mansion, two dishes of pickles and a scrambled egg, which was so shabby that he couldn't say it.
Both of them are people who are used to eating exquisite food, how can this thing be eaten?
"Eat! You're welcome! When you go to the old man, you should go home, don't be restrained. ”
Li Gang waved his chopsticks and said casually, Cai Cong happily put down his chopsticks and said to the subordinates on the side: "Give Benhou a whole osmanthus fish, then make a Dongpo meat, and then a mutton soup, and the rest is just a cook to watch and do." ”
"Then I'm going to roast the beef tenderloin, then have a drunken shrimp, and then fry a roast chicken."
"It's polite to tell you not to be polite, are you still serious? It's for you to eat, can you eat? ”
Li Gang waved away his subordinates and asked bitterly.
Cai Cong licked his chopsticks and asked puzzledly, "Master Li!" It's not that we've done something bad, so why can't we eat it? ”
"When my husband hears the tragedy, he chokes up, and every time he thinks about tossing and turning, why don't you move?"
Li Gang put down his chopsticks and said in a choked voice, corrupt officials and corrupt officials have brought disaster to the country and the people, embezzled funds from the river embankment, caused the dam to collapse, and the people downstream suffered countless casualties. Although this was a mistake made by Wen Feng when he was in office, and the responsibility was not Li Gang, Li Gang was still heartbroken.
"Li Shimo should be sad, now that the victims of the disaster have been compensated and the corrupt officials have been punished, we should thank God for blessing, I met Aunt Datian's mother and son on the way, otherwise I don't know how long this matter will be covered up?"
Cai Cong said with a smile, who would have thought that local officials would actually block the road to Yangzhou and block all the refugees, if it weren't for the people who were washed away by the river, this matter would probably be hidden.
