Chu Ze stayed in Weinan County for three days, and after watching the good implementation of the contract labor reward grouping system he founded and achieving obvious results, he went to other counties one by one.

Except for the embankment in Lintong, because the number of people is only 15,000, the number is slightly less, the embankment in the rest of the counties, because the people used by the four merchants are all people who are used to calling by themselves, and in order to speed up the progress, the method used is similar to Chu Ze's group reward in Weinan County, and the embankment is divided into pieces, and the fast progress is not only the salary, but also has a rich reward.

In short, these four businessmen have spared no effort in order to be able to obtain a higher official status. There was no need for Chu Ze to worry about it. In fact, except for the shopkeeper Hu who personally took his subordinates to eat and live on the embankment all day long, and personally supervised the construction of the embankment by the 15,000 laborers, the rest of the people only sent competent housekeepers and shopkeepers to be responsible for the construction of the embankment, and they only went to see the progress every once in a while.

………

Because the grain and rice are constantly being transported to Chang'an, the cost of buying grain and rice at a high price in order to buy grain and grass for this period of time has been too great, and His Majesty Li Er gritted his teeth with hatred: the imperial court is short of grain, and the millions of residents of Chang'an are in danger, but those grain merchants have more methods than the imperial court, and the efficiency is still higher, and the grain is transported faster than the imperial court.

"It's time to bury the pit." His Majesty Li Er sneered and said to Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji.

On the same day, the imperial court announced that Chang'an's grain and rice were already sufficient, and now there was still a steady stream of grain transported through the canal as a reserve for the imperial court, and it would store enough grain for more than three years, but at present, the grain crisis has been solved, and the grain supply is open, and the official warehouse will sell you as much as you can. From now on, the official warehouse grain sales will return to the original price.

After the news of the grain shortage spread, the price of grain has risen steadily, and now it has risen to nearly 100 yuan per bucket of grain.

Those wealthy gentry who spent a lot of money to buy a large amount of grain, and filled their urns, urns, and even bamboo baskets and kang pits with grain, beat their chests and feet in pain, and happily bought a large amount of grain at a high price and transported it to Beijing to prepare for a windfall, and the profiteers wept bitterly, and the heart of the Yellow River was born.

After finally reporting the matter of repairing the river embankment to His Majesty Li Er, Chu Ze stretched his waist and walked towards the outside of the palace, sighing softly as he walked: "It's really not easy, it's finally done!" ”

Suddenly, a chuckle came from behind him: "Hehe, it turns out that no matter how knowledgeable Yangquan County is, there are times when you are tired!" ”

Chu Ze turned his head to look, but it was Fang Xuanling, he felt good about Fang Xuanling, and he had a good appetite, compared to other ministers, Fang Xuanling was more pragmatic, Chu Ze admired this kind of person very much.

So he smiled: "Haha, even if the means are peculiar and the knowledge is extensive, after all, it is still not out of the category of people, if it is a person, there will be joys, sorrows, sorrows, and fatigue, and it is naturally no exception!" ”

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Yangquan County has a good opinion! ”

Chu Ze asked, "What do you have to teach Master Fang?" ”

Fang Xuanling said: "I can't talk about seeing the teaching, I just feel that I am in love with you, and I want to invite Yangquan County to talk about it, I don't know if Yangquan County is free?" ”

Chu Ze immediately said: "Lord Fang invites, Qingyang will naturally accompany you!" When? ”

Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said, "Then how about tomorrow, it's at my house!" ”

Chu Ze said: "Okay, I was about to meet Lord Fang's house, presumably like Lord Fang, it was very elegant and chic!" ”

Fang Xuanling was also not modest, and said: "You will know it when you see it, and I will not disappoint you!" ”

Chu Ze smiled: "Then we'll wait and see!" ”

Fang Xuanling laughed, turned around and left the Taiji Palace.

Chu Ze looked at his back and said in his heart: "The style is quite tough, vigorous and resolute." When the other ministers had done with him, everything would have been fine. However, my nerves have really relaxed recently, and I don't even know when people stand behind me, so it seems that it's time to practice! ”

Shaking his head, Chu Ze also walked out of the Taiji Palace slowly.

When he got home, Chu Ze lay down directly on the bed, slept with his head bored, and didn't care about anything.

When he was sleeping, Lan Xin woke him up.

Chu Ze woke up and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Lan Xin said: "Childe, Young Master Cheng asked someone to send a message and asked you to go to the old place to see him." ”

Chu Ze was puzzled: "The old place? What old place? ”

Lan Xin's face turned red and said, "It seems to be in Pingkangfang, I don't know anything else!" ”

Chu Ze suddenly understood, this is in Cuiyuan Building.

But what did he tell himself to do at this time??

Forget it, you'll find out when you go!

Chu Ze put on his clothes, washed his face and went out to Cuiyuan Building.

After a short time, Chu Ze arrived at the place.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the woman with heavy makeup on her face coming over: "Hey, it's the Marquis of Chu, hurry, please come inside!" ”

Chu Ze was very uninterested in her, she smeared too much fat powder, and she smelled a rushing smell from a long distance. It's not that it doesn't smell good, it's just that it's very awkward for Chu Ze, who has a sensitive nose.

Chu Ze immediately asked, "Is Cheng Chumo here?" ”

The woman twisted her waist and said, "Come, come, sit in the private room on the second floor, come, Erzhu, quickly, lead Gongzi Chu to ......"

Before the woman finished speaking, Chu Ze saw Cheng Chumo sitting with his back to him with the door open, so he waved his hand and said, "No need, I saw him, I'll just go by myself!" After speaking, he didn't wait for her to answer, and went up to the second floor.

As soon as I entered the house, I smelled a strong smell of wine, and the table was full of small wine jars. Cheng Chumo was looking at the wine glass in a daze.

Chu Ze sat down opposite him and asked, "Chu Mo, what did you ask me to do?" ”

Cheng Chumo reacted at this time, and when he saw him, he smiled and said, "Chu Ze, you are here!" ”

Chu Ze sneered: "Didn't you call me here, can you kid drink it?" ”

Cheng Chumo slapped his head and shouted: "Oh, yes, yes, I called you here, drink it!" ”

Chu Ze said with a smile: "If you can't drink, drink less, a person who drinks stuffy alcohol hurts his body!" ”

Cheng Chumo took a sip of the wine in his hand and said with a wry smile: "Hurt your body? Hey, compared to heartache, this little injury is nothing!

Chu Ze took a sip of wine and said, "What's the matter, is there something wrong?" Let's hear it. ”

"My dad beat me up again!" Cheng Chumo poured himself another glass of wine and said hatefully.

Yes, after knowing that he was beaten by the Great Demon King Cheng, Chu Ze stopped asking, and asked in vain, because the reason why the Great Demon King Cheng beat his son was strange, forget about the bar.

Chu Ze smiled: "They are all brothers, and if you say too much, you will be polite." A thousand words are all in the wine, after drinking this glass of wine, forget the pain, and the days have to go on. ”

Cheng Chumo nodded, raised his head and took another big mouthful.

The two looked at each other and immediately laughed.
