Chapter 0792: Huyan Chijin returns to Bianjing
Yanjing City prospered almost overnight.
Sewers, stone roads, stone arch bridges, horse roads and other roads are crowded with people.
After the land in Yanjing City is sold, it is definitely a brilliant idea to allow self-construction.
At this time, the appeal of the merchants, as well as the ability to deliver materials, were reflected.
A large number of materials for building houses were transported to Yanjing City in piles and piles.
After entering the city, it took only one day for the great merchants to build a wooden house for him to live in.
Wooden houses rose from the ground and became the temporary residence of merchants in Yanjing City.
Their passion for architecture has never been greater.
And they gave birth to a heart of comparison.
Three days.
Just three days.
A three-story wooden building rises from the ground.
It was a fifteen-acre wooden building.
The owner of the wooden building was a merchant from the southern country.
He spent 60,000 yuan, hired more than 2,000 craftsmen, divided into three shifts, and built day and night to accomplish this feat.
After the wooden building was built, the southern merchants proudly held a grand party, and invited many famous businessmen in Yanjing City to attend.
During the banquet, the southern merchant proudly asked people to hang a gold-lacquered signboard on his wooden building.
First floor!
He is the number one who deserves it.
No matter what he was selling, his shop was the first to be set up anyway.
The other merchants were able to bear the excitement.
After leaving the first floor one by one, he blushed and shouted at the housekeepers at home to find craftsmen and build a more luxurious building than the first floor.
What the? Is the price of work expensive in Yanjing City?
You're not bad for money!
Then I saw the housekeepers of the family, leading the family members out of Yanjing City, and went to the places where the people outside the city lived to recruit workers one by one.
However, there are too many merchants in Yanjing City, and they need a lot of people.
The people Yang Qi had emigrated to were not enough for them at all.
Even in the end, even the old, weak, women, children, and businessmen were hired to work.
And during this period, a lot of interesting things happened.
As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
When the merchants gathered together, it was naturally impossible to be safe.
Comparing with each other and showing financial strength is the best way for businessmen to fight.
This kind of thing is not uncommon.
There was a merchant who sold apricot blossom wine, and he had a strange brain, and he sold five acres of land and hired more than 100 people to build a house in one go.
Of course, the more than 100 people are not the point.
The point is that he had three big money and hired twenty women to help shout and cheer in the streets.
When others looked at it, they all thought that this product was full and had nothing to do.
It's just that this thing is still smug in the strange eyes of others.
Now, the big businessmen on his left and right sides are gone.
You are a wine seller, can you be richer than us?
Bifu?
Who have we been afraid of?
Immediately, he beckoned the housekeeper to recruit a large number of women, four big money per person, and the number of people was not limited.
Hula-la.
All the women from outside the city poured into the city.
A street was clogged up with women they had recruited.
Eventually, even the women hired by the wine merchants rebelled.
It was like a group fight.
If it weren't for Lu Mengzheng, who saw that the signs were wrong, and urgently mobilized 30,000 Yan troops to patrol the city, maybe he would have been able to pinch it.
In short, the merchants are crazy about hired labor.
The number of people gathered in Yanjing City suddenly exceeded 800,000.
Although everything in Yanjing City is still in the basic stage, it has exploded into unprecedented prosperity.
However, when Yanjing City was lively.
Yang Qi's study was also very lively.
Chu Xing held a bowl of freshly boiled ginseng soup and walked lightly in front of Yang Qi.
"Xianggong has been dealing with a day's official business, are you tired? Take a sip of soup to replenish your body. ”
Yang Qi didn't rush to be happy because of the diligence shown by Chu Xing, but instead pushed away the ginseng soup that Chu Xing put on the table with a disgusted face, and rubbed his eyebrows with a frown.
"This is the fifth bowl of soup you've sent, what the hell do you want to do?"
Chu Xing's expression was gloomy, and he complained in a low voice: "Xianggong, you said a word, and you were stunned to raise the price of hired workers in Yanjing City to ten big money. Those merchants raised it again, and now the price of hiring a young man in Yanjing City is twenty big dollars.
You also know that the concubine's family background really can't afford to hire so many young and strong ......"
Yang Qi raised his head, looked at Chu Xing, and said helplessly: "So...... What are you doing? ”
Chu Xing lowered his head and said softly: "Why don't you do the concubine, I just want to ask, see if those prisoners of the Liao State can divide the concubine body of three or four thousand people......"
The corners of Yang Qi's mouth twitched rapidly, he didn't believe that he had no money to hire a worker when he first woke up.
Yang Qi said angrily: "It's not impossible to give you three or four thousand people to share the profits, the side hall in the palace belongs to the palace, build it later?" ”
When I first woke up and heard this, it was like a cat that had been stepped on its tail, and exclaimed, "That's not good......
When she first woke up, she was not stupid, and she could still tell which was more important.
The side hall in the palace that belongs to her is a symbol of her status and a guarantee for the happiness of their mother and daughter in the future.
It must not be built later.
"Then you still need people?"
"Can Xianggong bear to watch his concubine being bullied by a businessman?"
"He builds his, you build yours, what is bullying and not bullying."
Chu woke up and complained: "The concubine also thinks so, but the merchant saw that the concubine was weak and could be bullied, so he deliberately found Rumeng, saying that the place where the concubine was would not be built for a while anyway, so it was better to let him put wood first, and he would give money."
When the concubine heard this, she was almost angry.
Our family is now a royal family, how can we let a businessman bully him. ”
After a pause, Chu Xing glanced at Yang Qi, and seeing that Yang Qi was still silent, she said quietly: "Of course, if the princess is willing to let the concubine pose as the princess to meet the businessman, the concubine can also be left unwanted." ”
Yang Qi's face turned dark.
Let Chu Xing put out the princess's guard of honor to find the merchant, I am afraid that the merchant will be scared to death.
This is bullying, which Yang Qi does not allow.
"That's it, I'll give you two thousand, no more."
A smile of successful trickery appeared on Chu Xing's face, and she bowed slightly, "Thank you." ”
Dropped the sentence, turned around and ran.
ran to the door, suddenly turned back again, and took away the ginseng soup in front of Yang Qi with a smile, "Since Xianggong doesn't like to drink it, the concubine will take it back and give it to the girl to drink." When the concubine was stewed, the girl was hungry and wanted to drink. ”
However, the first awakening disappeared into Yang Qi's study like a gust of wind.
Yang Qiyi was left crying and laughing in the study.
Not long after waking up and leaving, Yang Qi continued to lower his head and handle official business in the study.
A fragrant breeze slowly hit.
Yang Qi shrugged his nose, smelled the familiar fragrance, lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
"You're here to ask for someone, too?"
Cao Lin slowly appeared behind Yang Qi, put her hand on Yang Qi's shoulder, helped him pinch his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Lang Jun said that he was joking, and there is no shortage of concubines." ”
Yang Qi was stunned, and a smile appeared on his face.
However, before the smile was steady, she heard Cao Lin say: "The concubine heard that when Lang Jun sent those Liao captives to build the palace, a lot of stone was mined......
You also know that the first floor is next to the concubine.
Every day, I watched the shopkeeper on the first floor get scared in front of the concubine, and the concubine was so angry. ”
"Hey~"
Yang Qichang sighed and glanced at Cao Lin sideways.
"The girl who woke up didn't know the bottom of the first floor, can you not know the bottom of the first floor? What is sold on the first floor? Tea! What tea? Southern Fragrant Tea! ”
On the first floor, there is a small branch of the Nanguo Chamber of Commerce on the surface, but behind the scenes, it is a Nanguo industry.
The fact that the first floor was built in such a short period of time is not only due to the efforts of thousands of craftsmen.
Behind this, there are nearly 10,000 transportation teams, silently transporting wood and stone for the first floor in the back without interruption.
The reason why Yang Qi made such a big move to help the first floor be built quickly was to stimulate the construction boom of Yanjing City, and at the same time let those people outside Yanjing City who did not catch up with the spring ploughing earn a little daily expenses.
Facts have proved that Yang Qi's approach is very effective.
The construction of Yanjing City is in full swing, and the buildings in the city are rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.
I believe that it will not be long before there will be shops in Yanjing City to open.
At that time, even if the luxurious palace that belongs to him is not built, Yanjing City will still be prosperous.
A prosperous capital will naturally make many people feel the wealth and strength of the Yan Kingdom.
Naturally, it can attract more people to settle down in Yanjing City.
This is what Yang Qi wants.
Yang Qi did not allow Cao Lin's four daughters to participate in government affairs, so Cao Lin didn't understand these things, and she didn't know them.
Cao Lin sighed and said: "When I first woke up my sister, Lang Jun gave more than 3,000 people. The concubine has a mouth, and Lang Jun doesn't give anything. Lang Jun is really ruthless...... Is it because you dislike the concubine and the old pearl is yellow, and she doesn't have a beautiful sister who has just woken up? ”
When Yang Qiyi heard this, one head and two big.
"Alright, don't talk sour here. You will be given a portion of the stone, but you will have to pay the household according to the market price. ”
Cao Lin smiled, "The concubine knows, the concubine leaves first......"
"Hey, you're still ......"
Yang Qi also planned to ask Cao Lin to help him beat his back, but he didn't expect that Cao Lin's figure had flashed out of the study, slipping faster than a rabbit.
Yang Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "That's probably how Dum Jun came...... You have to set certain rules for them when you go back...... Or Jin E and Chijin sister are the best ......"
As soon as the words fell, I saw Huyan Chijin enter the study with red eyes.
Huyan Chijin has always been a strong woman, and she has been alone in the southern country for many years, and she has no complaints at all.
Now that her eyes were red and appeared in front of Yang Qi's eyes, Yang Qi immediately felt that something was wrong.
He got up and greeted him, asking, "What's wrong?" ”
Huyan Chijin saw Yang Qi, as if he had seen the backbone of the main heart, and the tears in his eyes couldn't help it, and they flowed out.
Then he cried vigorously in Yang Qi's arms without saying a word.
This can make Yang Qi a little at a loss.
"What the hell is going on? Big things, say it, and support your husband for you. ”
Huyan Chijin cried enough, raised his head, looked at Yang Qi with red eyes, and said miserably: "Bianjing City has sent a letter...... My mother...... My mother is seriously ill......"
When Yang Qi heard this, he was completely stunned.
"What's going on? You sit down and talk about it. ”
Yang Qi frowned, helped Huyan Chijin to sit down, and then asked carefully.
He had four wives.
Naturally, there are four old men.
Cao Bin, the old guy, has now become the lord of a country, and when the spring breeze is proud, Cao Bin and Yang Qi don't need to worry at all.
The two parents who woke up for the first time had already been killed by Zhao Guangyi, so it can be said that they have nothing to worry about.
There is only one old mother left in Du Jin'e's family, and his brother-in-law Du Qing is now also in Yanjing City.
After calculating it, Huyan Chijin's parents are still in Bianjing City.
Huyan Chijin has not seen his parents for many years, and now he learns that his mother is seriously ill, and he is sad.
Wait until Huyan Chijin finished talking about the content of the letter from Bianjing.
Yang Qi's expression was unprecedentedly solemn.
Hu Yan's condition is very serious, and it is urgent to wait, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive this year.
No wonder Huyan Chijin is so sad.
Since Huyanzan and Huyan's acquiescence to his son-in-law, he has never been filial in front of Huyan.
For the Huyan clan, Yang Qi felt a little guilty in his heart.
"I'm going back to Bianjing City to ......"
"I'll be with you ......"
Huyan Chijin raised his head and looked at Yang Qi, with a hint of fortitude in his red eyes, "It's enough for you to have this heart." Now Yan Guo is in ruins, and it can't do without you. Once you leave, Yan Guo will be in turmoil, and others will not be able to make up their minds. ”
"However, if you go back to Bianjing City alone, I don't feel at ease."
Yang Qi's face was serious.
Instead, Huyan Chijin said lightly: "When the concubine led the soldiers and horses under her command to fight in the south and the north, you didn't feel uneasy. ”
"That's different."
"The concubine knows ......"
"In two days, I will send someone to write to Zhao Defang first. Then you go back as the princess of Yan. Believe that they will not dare to snub you. ”
Huyan Chijin nodded slowly, and after a while, he raised his head and asked, "Brother...... Is there a way for you to transfer my father and brother from the Great Song Dynasty to the Yan Kingdom. ”
A look of embarrassment appeared on Yang Qi's face.
He is the lord of the Yan Kingdom, and he is the general of the Great Song Dynasty, so he does not have that authority.
Seeing Yang Qi's reaction, Huyan Chijin also guessed the answer in his heart, and his expression suddenly darkened.
Seeing that Huyan Chijin was sad, Yang Qi was also a little uncomfortable, he gritted his teeth and said, "I want to find a way, it should be possible." ”
After a pause, Yang Qi said with a serious face: "It's a big deal, I'll take someone to Bianjing City to snatch people over." ”
"Puff~"
Although Huyan Chijin knew that Yang Qi was lying to her, her heart was still warm.
Yang Qi's serious little expression amused Huyan Chijin.
After appeasing Huyan Chijin, Yang Qi sent someone to the Great Song Dynasty to deliver a letter to Zhao Defang.
At the same time, he ordered Kou Zhun to prepare a guard of honor for Huyan Chijin to return to Bianjing.
As the princess of Yan, she naturally can't be so hasty when she visits the Great Song Dynasty.
Two days later.
A group of gorgeous carriages were ready, Huyan Chijin stepped on the carriage, and then under the escort of a thousand iron cavalry, he went to Bianjing City.
Yang Qi stood on the avenue outside Yanjing City, watching Huyan Chijin drift away.
