After returning from Jixian Hall Academy, Wei Renshi decided not to mention the two days of travel. There will be no mention of merit and lordship.

Wei Renshi, who was already close to middle age in later generations, already knew that even if it was a sure thing, it was possible to change the hexagram temporarily, not to mention that this was just a guess by Master Zhang.

If you don't really hold it in your hands, it's all in the air. It's okay to have a thought, but since it's still a castle in the air, you can only keep it in your own heart.

Governor Luo Shi is iron-hearted to pit Wei Renshi. Before Wei Renshi could start work, he sent someone to urge him to get someone.

"So-and-so is just a word, if you have anything you want to say, go and explain it to Changshi." The errand who came over to urge Wei Renshi to hurry up and get the people said with a good face: "The five hundred people have been prepared, and there are no more." You must go and pick them up immediately. ”

Wei Renshi looked back at Sun Peng, Sun Peng had already understood, went over and took some money, handed it over, and said with a smile: "I'm tired of this poor master to run this trip, be careful, and take it to drink saliva." ”

"That's so embarrassing." The errand reached out to block it, and with a flick of the clinker's wrist, the half of the money slipped from Sun Peng's hand into his clothes.

After taking the money, the officer's face immediately improved a lot, and even smiled, and he was polite to Wei Renshi, and said: "Shopkeeper Wei, you better take the people away quickly, otherwise in a few days other places will start work, and you will have to leave another batch, and there will not be much left for you." This repair of the river embankment requires the most manpower, and 500 people are afraid that it is not enough. Changshi urged me to hurry up and call you to lead people, and you should take them away quickly, and I am also good friends, isn't it? ”

"Thank you for the reminder." Wei Renshi nodded and thanked: "I must not make it difficult for this poor master." Tomorrow we will go and receive them. I just dare to ask the poor master, what is the approximate origin of these 500 people? ”

"Don't be afraid, Shopkeeper Wei can't pay the taxes and evade the tax penalty to do servitude." The errand officer naturally knew why Wei Renshi asked like this, so he replied: "But there are a lot of five hundred people, and there will be a few bad ones among them." ”

Wei Renshi looked at Sun Peng, Sun Peng immediately understood, raised his hand and made a move with half a copper coin, and asked with a smile: "Ouch, poor master, this is not good, we are all Anfen people, but I don't know what to do." ”

The messenger couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that these two people were so generous, and that they were actually delivered to him in one thousand times.

took half a copper coin again, and the attitude of the errand officer was better, and it was like two people.

He immediately patted his chest and said, "Shopkeeper Wei, shopkeeper Sun, don't be afraid of the two of you." There are a few traitors in it, and tomorrow they will all be sent over with shackles, and no one can fucking do it. The two shopkeepers look up to us so much, and we won't let the two shopkeepers make it difficult. In the future, if anyone in it is disobedient, just go to me Wu Shun and see that I don't beat him to death! ”

"Thank you, Servant! A place where you can't be tired in the future. Sun Peng immediately smiled and said: "Naturally, I won't let you work in vain." ”

The messenger was even happier when he heard this, and said something more, seeing that Wei Renshi had already agreed, and there was nothing left behind. Then he left Yimenglou.

As soon as the errand officer left, Sun Peng was a little worried and asked: "Five hundred people, Lang Jun, we haven't started construction on the river embankment yet, and the shed hasn't been built, where is it placed?" That's 500 mouths! How to eat and drink? This long history is ruthless and forcing us. ”

Wei Renshi nodded and said, "Either the ninth floor and the first pavilion gave him enough money, or he was in a hurry to tie up the big eunuch behind Huachun Tower." He was determined to help them force us. But don't be afraid, tomorrow I will take people, leave two hundred to build sheds in the leeward part of the river embankment, and bring the rest back to Fuchang, so that Zheng Lizheng will go to Jiao Haiqing, and say that I will let him be placed under Pingshan, and he will know what to do. ”

"Get to Fuchang?" Sun Peng looked at Wei Renshi in surprise: "This ...... I'm afraid that's not allowed, right? ”

"Stones are needed to repair the embankment, and I will assign some people to quarry, is there anything that doesn't make sense?" Wei Renshi asked rhetorically.

"Quarrying ......" Sun Peng thought about it, this was reasonable, and asked: "It's just that you have to go to Fuchang Cai?" ”

Wei Renshi nodded: "There are good stones in Fuchang Pingshan, which are more suitable for repair than the stones in other places around here." Well, this is what we asked someone to inquire about from the mouth of the river embankment of the capital water supervisor. The matter of the river embankment is related to the entire Luoyang City, about the surrounding hundreds of people, let's not go next, since the next, we have to do our best, so we will go to Fuchang to quarry. ”

Sun Peng nodded: "I understand, if someone asks, the little one will answer like this." ”

Wei Renshi smiled with satisfaction, this guy is getting more and more thorough now.

At that moment, he smiled and asked, "Then if you ask how to transport the stone to Fuchang?" ”

Sun Peng thought for a while and said, "Take Yishui down the river and go straight to Luoyang, and then send it to the river embankment along the canal." ”

"Not bad, not bad!" Wei Renshi laughed and said, "If you have time these days, go find a few carpenters and blacksmiths with good reputations and good craftsmanship, and you would rather spend some money to invite them over." Let's just say that I paid for the workshop, which is much better than their current workshop. Invite them to work in my workshop. We will pay them for their work, and I will not prevent them from using this workshop to earn money by taking work outside. But make sure to do it closely with what I've laid out first. ”

"Build your own workshop?" Sun Peng was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Wei Renshi did this.

Wei Renshi smiled and said, "The ready-made manpower has to be taken care of by us, so we don't have to use it in vain." After building a workshop, I will make some equipment out so that the remaining 200 people can do the work of 500 people. ”

Sun Peng was shocked again: "There is such a device? ”

"Yes." Wei Renshi nodded: "It's too complicated to do, and the simpler principles can still be figured out." ”

Sun Peng felt more and more that his owner was not a mortal. I heard that some heavenly boys made mistakes and were going to be beaten down from the earth. Maybe it's like Lang Jun.

If it is, then everything is easy to explain.

Sun Peng felt even more correct in his heart.

In itself, there is a place and a number of people for the official family's conscription, and it is all up to the official family to determine and raise, and to point to where to use it, and it cannot be assigned arbitrarily.

But the state government is already violating the law by sending out the matter of repairing the river embankment. And it was sent by the head of the business name to do righteous deeds, plus there was money to make the ghost grind, and after spending some money to go out, no one cared about it.

Therefore, even if Wei Renshi wanted to send 300 people to leave the embankment and go to Fuchang, no one would ask about it after making some financial gifts.

It was as if these 300 people were simply goods, and they would no longer care if they were sold. As for where the buyer takes it, whether it is used or thrown away, no one cares at all.

The government does not care about the life and death of the conscripts, nor does the place where they work.

Three hundred people, driven by a few messengers and water and fire sticks, arrived in Fuchang like sheep.
