Chapter 373 - Contractor Foreman

Lao Zhu's fingers kept turning the small wooden sign, he turned his head and asked Ma Du: "Xuanzhong, do you think Zhu Liangzu has colluded with that gang?" ”

"Hmm...... Probably not! Ma Du's mind turned, "Of course, if that group wants to do big things, they can't do a lot of money, and eighty percent of them have taken a fancy to Weichen's glass workshop." But Yingtian is the best place in Gyeonggi, and there are many palace guards around the academy, and they don't have the capital to make waves, but Yongjia Houli's desire is mostly used by them. ”

Old Zhu Wenyan said with a smile: "Why don't Xuan Zhong take the opportunity to give Zhu Liangzu some eye medicine, this is a good opportunity, maybe Zhu Liangzu's family will be beheaded all over the house, and you will have less heart disease." ”

Of course, Ma Du wants to pour dirty water on Zhu Liangzu, but you old Zhu is so easy to fool? I'm afraid that stealing chickens will not make rice. He arched his hand, "Your Majesty is shining brightly, and Weichen will not dare to abolish the public for personal reasons." However, what Wei Chen just said is just speculation, whether Yongjiahou is really innocent or not, you should let the inspection school check it, otherwise why would that old Taoist kill Zhu Xian. ”

Lao Zhu pointed his finger at Ma Du, "You guy is bad, what you said is much more insidious than directly breaking the dirty water on Zhu Liangzu." That old Taoist I have already let people check, claiming to be a Xuanming Taoist, Zhu Xian met in the Qinhuai River, it is said that he is familiar with yin and yang gossip, and can pinch and measure the fortune and misfortune of people and determine life and death, and Zhu Xian was fooled by a few words, and was cited by Zhu Xian as a guest. ”

Ma Du suddenly flicked his hem and immediately paused on the ground, "It doesn't matter whether Yongjiahou and the White Lotus Sect colluded for the time being, but the evidence that he killed the Tian widow's family is conclusive, please ask the emperor to make decisions for innocent women and children." ”

Lao Zhu has tasted bitterness since he was a child, and now he is bound to be vicious and hateful, but it is not the time for the world to move the knife to the meritorious service, he sighed and said: "Zhu Liangzu died his son and destroyed the mansion, and the Zhuang Ding guards in the family also died a lot, which can be regarded as punishment, he has already brought the army to aid the army to conquer the west, and this matter will be stopped for the time being." But you are now at ease in prison, the second, third and fourth have all been beaten by the queen's board, how do you say I should punish you! ”

Ma Du didn't expect Lao Zhu to hit him upside down and pull the problem back to him, so he had to say: "Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, as long as you don't cut off the head of Weichen, let the emperor dispose of it!" ”

"Humph! With your scoundrel appearance, what else can I do to you, but I want to cut off your head for fear that the queen will be sad. Well, I'll give you an errand, and as long as you do it, you'll be able to atone for your sins. ”

"What errand?" Madu looked up and asked.

Lao Zhu smiled and took a scroll from Yuansheng's hand and handed it to Ma Du, "Just look at it!" ”

Madu opened the scroll, looked at it and exclaimed, "I'll wipe it!" ”

Lao Zhu immediately scolded: "Bastard, there are no rules at all, and he is full of foul language in front of me." ”

"Why does the emperor say that this is foul language?"

"I just know!" Lao Zhu heard the news that Ma Du led people to burn down the Yongjiahou Mansion a few days ago, and he blurted out these two words for some reason.

Although I don't know what these two words mean, they are concise and incisive, which can completely replace the words he often says, and the key is that they are extremely smooth. He had to admit that it was a good word, and shouted a sentence of surprise and anger in his heart, and all kinds of emotions were completely vented, and he immediately felt refreshed and comfortable.

Ma Du looked at the scroll in his hand and asked: "Why did the emperor hand over such an important errand to Weichen, I heard that this matter has been in charge of Chengyi Bo, and Weichen is still young and deserves such a big responsibility." ”

What he held in his hand was a map, a plan of the Yingtian City Wall, with only the inner city and the outer outline marked on it. Lao Zhu was born poor and stingy, but the matter related to the society of the country is not trivial at all, and Hongwu has done a lot of big projects.

While fighting, on the other hand, it is a large number of constructions, building Yingtian, building the capital, and building the Great Wall. In particular, the length of the city wall of Yingtian is the longest city wall in the world in later generations, which is longer than the Beijing city wall built by Zhu Di.

Lao Zhu smiled: "It is indeed Liu Ji who is in charge of planning, but he said that the specific implementation is weak, and the construction time will be relatively long, and he is worried that he will not be able to survive the day when it is completed, he said that you are young, you can do it...... What do you do in circles on the ground? ”

"Weichen is cursing Liu Ji! Let this old guy die sooner. ”

"Nonsense, how can you really be tired of the art of victory?"

Ma Du shook his head again and again, "No, no, Weichen is just joking." How much time does the emperor plan to give Weichen? ”

"Hmm...... What do you think of fifteen years? ”

"It's okay, it's been long enough!"

Ma Du let out a sigh of relief, but Lao Zhu's face twitched, Liu Ji told him that it might take thirty years to build, and he deliberately shortened half of the time, Ma Du also said that the time was long enough, thinking that Ma Du had a fork, so he said: "I don't plan to learn from Emperor Yang of Sui to build Luoyang with millions of people a year." ”

"How many people did the emperor give to Weichen?"

"A total of 200,000 people are levied from all over the country every year, and among these 200,000 people, there are those who are responsible for burning bricks in the local area, and some are responsible for transporting bricks.

"Then how much silver is the emperor going to allocate to Weichen every year?" This is the most important thing, and Madu will have to ask clearly.

"Nope! Nothing! ”

Listening to Lao Zhu's words, Ma Du wanted to vomit blood, "You won't let Weichen put money in it by himself, this punishment is worse than cutting off his head." ”

Lao Zhu said angrily: "Don't worry, there is no money, but the food is as you go, but you are not allowed to sell it for money, you can only take care of the people's diet, and the glutinous rice that covers the city wall." Of course, all the other materials for building the city wall are also supplied by the local government, and you don't have to take care of it, and the personnel of the Ministry of Works will be used by you, and I will give you the title of a squire of the Ministry of Works."

"That's fine!" Ma Du let out a sigh, "Weichen thinks that the emperor can give me a title of Shangshu, which is better." ”

"Get out! Hurry up and get home! Don't let me see you again until you come up with a concrete statement! Lao Zhu Zhengse said: "The city wall of Yingtian is related to my Ming Dynasty Qianqiu foundation must not be sloppy, before the autumn harvest, you first let people build a few zhang city wall, it is the inner city wall, and when I accept it, the construction will officially start after the autumn harvest!" ”

"During the construction, Wechen also had to borrow the order to use it, and Wechen had to build a few bridges to take care of the moat, so he had to help design it, and by the way, let the students learn a few hands from him."

"You're not shy about it!" Lao Zhu's face was full of evil taste, "This matter is accurate, by the way, there is another person to help you." ”
