In recent years, Frank, Duke of Tus, has become more and more dissatisfied with King Tus, and several congresses have had a noisy posture.

And now, hearing Briss say this, King Tus said quietly, "But Frank, after all, is still the king's own brother." ”

"Your Majesty!" Bliss hurriedly said, "Isn't the matter of the third prince of the Wind Country still explaining everything!" You can't take care of brotherhood anymore, or I'm going to be in trouble!" ”

"You mean, the incident of the third prince of the Wind King was manipulated by Frank behind the scenes?" King Tus asked in a quiet voice.

"Isn't that obvious enough?" Bliss said, "Your Majesty, imagine that if the third prince of the Wind Country had not been successfully rescued, then the Wind King would have asked you to borrow the King's Ring, would you give it or not?" ”

"If you give it, the ring falls into the hands of Duke Frank, and he will carry out a coup d'état!" If you don't give it, you will undoubtedly offend the Wind King! In either case, it's Frank who benefits! But fortunately, the Wind King solved this matter himself, and also reminded His Majesty the King. ”

Hearing his explanation, King Tus immediately took a deep breath, his brows furrowed, and after a moment, he said in a cold voice, "It seems that Frank can't do it if he doesn't get rid of it!" ”

"His Majesty the King is wise!" "In addition, there may be some kind of hostility towards our country on the side of the Wind Country now, and after His Majesty the King has cleared out the opposition party, he should immediately show goodwill to the Wind Country and release his previous suspicions......"

There is about to be a civil strife on Tus's side, which still has some impact on the Wind Country, because their duke has always advocated attacking the Wind Country, and if he usurps the throne, then Tus's next step must be to start a war with the Wind Country.

However, I believe that King Tus can also handle these things.

On the other side, Yandi Longxi.

At present, digging a big river canal and starting the construction site, I don't know how many young and strong laborers.

At that time, there were no machines, everything needed to be done by manpower, and everywhere you looked, there were people everywhere, some people were wielding hoes to be responsible for digging, some people were bowing slightly, struggling to pull wooden carts to transport soil, and almost everyone was sweating like rain, bare-shouldered, and busy in full swing......

"Hurry up! Grinding! Didn't eat at noon!? But even so, there were still officers and soldiers in charge of overseeing the work waving their horsewhips and mercilessly beating some slower people!

People dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and some people were whipped by horsewhips and immediately fell to the ground, but they were soon beaten badly.

"Fuck! Don't play me dead! Hurry up! ”

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a county guard walked over quickly, and after he came, he immediately took off the horsewhip from the hands of the officers and soldiers, and shouted, "What are you going to do!?" ”

His shouting was directed at the officers and soldiers, who were startled when they heard this, and hurriedly replied cautiously, "My lord, these untouchables, they are cheating and cheating, they are lazy, and they are just teaching them a lesson." ”

"Fart!" The county guard glared and shouted angrily, stuffed the horsewhip into the arms of the officers and soldiers, and said at the same time, "Dare to do this again!" The official asks you if you are! ”

"Yes, yes, I understand." The officers and soldiers hurriedly replied.

After teaching the officers and soldiers, the county guard also walked to the side of the man who had just been whipped down by the horsewhip, helped him up, and said, "How are you?" It didn't hurt anywhere, did it? ”

The man probably never thought that his gang of laborers would be beaten by officers and soldiers all day long, but now the local county guard master actually helped himself up!

His expression didn't mention how frightened he was, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "The county guard lord spares his life!" The villain knows it's wrong! ”

"What are you doing here?" The county guard frowned, and said with a straight face, "You don't have to be afraid! These officers and soldiers will not be spared if they treat you like this! Moreover, this is a national project, and the imperial court has allocated a huge amount of gold and silver, although you have been requisitioned to labor, but you have earned from your labor, and your wages will not be reduced by the government! ”

Yes!? Hearing him say this, the man was stunned for a moment, but then he also reacted, and immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic, and shouted again and again, "It's really a big man in the sky."

Obviously, this is a good official, his name is Chen Xiu, and he is the county guard of Yu County, Longxi.

Yuxian is not the only place where canals are being dug, it can be said that the entire Longxi area has now started construction. And since the officers and soldiers here can do this to the people, one can imagine what other counties are like.

After witnessing this scene with his own eyes, Chen Xiu cleaned up the officers and soldiers who were supervising the work one by one, and punished them for their money, and then he found the officer in charge.

These officers and soldiers are all from the Yuxian County Governor's Mansion, and their officers are naturally local city captains.

The county guard is the highest administrator of a county, and the city captain's mansion is naturally under its jurisdiction. ”

Chen Xiu waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to be polite, and then asked straight to the point, "How is the current food of these workers?" It's all in charge of my county, right? ”

"Yes, sir." Cheng Wei returned, "At present, there are three meals a day, and each meal has two white-flour steamed buns. ”

"Just two steamed buns!?" When Chen Xiu heard this, his nose was almost crooked, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the city captain, and said angrily, "Working like this, sweating like rain!" Given two steamed buns, will you be able to eat to your heart's content!? ”

He was a Shangguan, and he shouted angrily, startling the city captain, and couldn't help but quickly explain, "But this, this is all done according to the will of the county lord, not arranged by a humble position." ”

"It just doesn't make sense! Don't forget! They are not prisoners! It's the people of our country! It's construction for the country! Chen Xiu said angrily: "This official will tell you now!" Improve your food now! Three meals a day, dishes to have! Steamed buns must be there! Rice is a must-have too! ”

Yes!? Hearing this, the city lieutenant's eyes widened in disbelief, and he said in a trembling voice, "But my lord, in this way, there are so many young and strong laborers in my county, and the treasury may not be able to support it!" ”

"You don't have to worry about that! I know how to cook! Just do what the official says! Chen Xiu said in an unquestioning tone.

"No...... Promise. The city lieutenant swallowed and replied.

Although more than 100,000 young and strong Yandi were requisitioned for this construction, Lu Chen also clearly pointed out that when the wages of this labor service were higher than usual, the government could not deduct them, and three meals a day must be guaranteed.

But there are policies and countermeasures, Lu Chen only said that three meals a day are guaranteed, but he did not say very specifically, and on this, speculative officials are inevitable.

It is conceivable how much a day 100,000 people will eat, and if this goes on for a long time, it will be an astronomical amount in a few months! Fupin Chinese
