It's only been a few days, and this guy Hu Lu has changed back to what he was from years ago, white and fat, dressed in a very vulgar copper coin Yanju regular clothes, with a hat buttoned on his head, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was the richest man in Chang'an.

I went out at the beginning of the year and ran around, and I really suffered a lot of sins on this trip, and the whole person was dark and thin.

However, this time I returned to Chang'an, and immediately fell into heaven, and I soaked in Pingkangfang all day long, and I heard that I spent money to smash an Oiran in a certain building, and I was very arrogant.

His wife and son were sent to Lingnan as early as last year, and now Hu Lu's son is at Old Man Ji's place, and Liu Hu'er, who is also in Lingnan, to receive the teachings of Old Man Ji.

The matter of the textile factory has been decided, and this time almost all the noble families in Chang'an have been involved.

Everyone earns money together, and the most important thing is that once the textile factory is built, it is equivalent to letting the interests of the grassland be tightly tied to the nobles of Chang'an.

This is the result that Zhao Chen wants to see, only let Xungui care about the grassland and let their interests be in the grassland. In this way, Chang'an can maintain a high degree of attention to the grassland, instead of always keeping his eyes on the one acre and three points of the sky in his own home.

Of course, the establishment of textile factories is not only like this, but the greater benefit is to benefit the people. Once the textile mill is established, wool will become money, and sheep can be raised not only on the grassland, but also in the Central Plains.

The Central Plains is too big, and there are very large and vast places in the Guanzhong area alone, and these places are barren every year. Empty let those places be overgrown with wild grass, and Zhao Chen felt that it was very wasteful.

That's all invisible money!

Before, it couldn't be helped. If you raise sheep, you won't get much profit, and the value of the sheep is just skin and meat. A sheep is easy to raise, but as a result, with a knife, the exchange is only a dozen dollars.

Now, it is different, as long as the people develop the breeding industry, just the wool sheared every year can make the people make a lot of money, and. Sheep are still sheep, and there will be no loss at all.

It is really a matter of counting in one fell swoop, which not only binds the interests of the nobles to the grassland, but also gives the people of the Central Plains an extra large amount of income.

Of course, more importantly, it is still the improvement of the comprehensive power of the economy.

The site of the textile factory is in Xinfeng County, covering an area of about several hundred acres. Now, the foundation is being leveled vigorously, the original potholes are all filled, and a layer of concrete is poured on them.

This place is located downstream of Weishui. When the foundation of the factory was leveled, some people were also busy digging a canal from Weishui. When the factory is built, a large hair washing pond will be built inside. Without flowing water, that's a no-go.

At this time. It's the end of June, and everywhere you see is a withered yellow scene, the drought has inevitably come, and the fields that used to be green at this time are now everywhere are withered and yellow.

A few days ago, there were still people who did not give up, and they came to the fields every day to look at the wheat that was withered and yellow in the field, and sighed for a while, and then left silently.

In the past few days, I have not come at all, because I have completely lost my heart, but I have just lost my heart to the crops, and people are still the same, what should I do every day, and I can't see the despair of being unable to live because of the drought.

With Hu Lu and his party, after seeing the factory, I came back and saw a few children playing there on the road, and there were a few old men on the side of the road, sitting there looking at Zhao Chen and his party from afar.

"The noble man is that immortal disciple?" When the carriage passed by a few old men, it was about to pass by, and suddenly one of the old men, standing on the side of the road with great courage, looked at Zhao Chen, who was smiling at them in the carriage, suddenly asked with courage.

“… Does my husband know me? When Zhao Chen heard the old man's inquiry, the expression on his face couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then he looked at the old man and asked in surprise.

When the old man heard this, he suddenly cracked the corners of his dry mouth, and glanced at Muqiu who was driving the car, the meaning could not be clearer, and now, when Zhao Chen goes out, he is usually driven by Muqiu, which is already a well-known thing in Chang'an.

When Zhao Chen saw the old man's expression, he suddenly smiled dumbly, but he didn't expect that Mu Qiu would become his image spokesperson now.

Anyway, he was just idle, Zhao Chen simply asked Muqiu to stop the car, got out of the car, sat opposite a few old men casually, and chatted with a few old men.

Hu Lu and the others behind him, when they saw Zhao Chen getting out of the car, they naturally got out of the car.

The average age of Datang is very low, and these old men are actually around fifty, but they are hunched over, looking like they are seventy or eighty.

When he was chatting happily with a few old men, but he didn't want to be far away on the official road, the old eunuch rode a horse and came quickly, Zhao Chen saw the figure of the old eunuch, and his face suddenly showed a surprised expression.

"Your Majesty, you are waiting in the palace, Hou Ye should enter the palace with our family as soon as possible!" As soon as the old eunuch got off the horse, he didn't wait for Zhao Chen to ask, so he said to Zhao Chen with an anxious face.

"What's the matter?" As soon as Zhao Chen heard Li Er's urgent call, he suddenly turned over and stood up, looked at the old eunuch with a confused face and asked.

"Let's go to the palace first!" The old eunuch's lips moved, as if he wanted to tell Zhao Chen, but in the end he stopped, looked at Zhao Chen and said helplessly.

"Okay!" Zhao Chen knew the rules of the palace, and when he saw that the old eunuch wanted to speak and stopped, he didn't ask any questions, turned around and said goodbye to several old men, and walked towards the carriage.

"Hou... Will you still come, Master Hou? Just as he was about to step into the carriage, a hesitant voice suddenly came from behind him, it was the old man who asked Zhao Chen before.

"Yes!" Zhao Chen stopped, smiled at the old man and said, "When the factory is built, I will come over, and then I will go to my father-in-law's house as a guest!" ”

"Ahh The old man obviously didn't expect that Zhao Chen would say this, and when he heard it, he would go to his house as a guest, and he was stunned for a moment.

After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he boarded the carriage, leaving the old man with a stunned face, and headed all the way to Chang'an.

Liu Tong, the magistrate of Xinfeng, is a newly promoted magistrate who has just dealt with things in the county office. Listening to the report of his subordinates, it was said that Chang'an Hou arrived in Xinfeng and checked the site of the new factory, so frightened that Liu Tong hurriedly let the factory site rush.

As a result, when he rushed there, Zhao Chen and the others had already left, and he had to rush back to the county government in a disappointed manner.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the county office, he heard from his subordinates that the Marquis of Chang'an was on the side of the official road in Xinfeng, and he was having a family affair with several villagers, so Liu Tong hurried over.

"When did you leave?" Liu Tong was standing where Zhao Chen was standing just now, with a sad and indignant look on his face, looking at several old men and asking.

This is the second time he has missed it, and every time it is a little bit worse, the feeling of regret in his heart is indescribably uncomfortable.

Zhao Chen is a person around the emperor, and he has great influence, as long as he touches a little, he will be of infinite use, but he missed it twice.

"Fang... I just left! "As the so-called county officials are not as good as being in charge, a few old men who were talking and laughing freely in front of Zhao Chen saw Liu Tong at this time, but they became cringe, and when they heard Liu Tong's question, they immediately replied in a hurry.

"Did Master Hou say anything?" Liu Tong regretted it in his heart, but he also knew that it could not be violated, since he missed it, it was useless to regret it, so he looked at a few old men and asked.

I didn't see Zhao Chen himself, but I listened to Zhao Chen's words, and maybe I would hear something great from it.

As a result, he was really asked, and several old men told him that when Chang'an Hou was leaving, he said that he would come to Xinfeng, and when the new factory was built, he would not only come, but also go to the old man's house as a guest.

"Really?" When Liu Tong heard this, it was as if he had heard something very good, his heart jumped wildly, he looked at Old Man Zhai in disbelief, and confirmed again and again.

“… Can... The old man's family is poor with only one hut! After hearing Liu Tong's words, Old Man Zhai turned red, lowered his head vigorously, and said with a look of embarrassment.

"Confused!" Liu Tong stomped his feet vigorously, pointed at the old man Zhai, and said hatefully: "Now that there is still time, won't you hurry up to build a house?" ”

"No... No money! "Old man Zhai's head is even lowered, this year's drought, the crops have not been harvested, his son went to the mine, and the money he earned has to buy grain, and the extra money is used to build a house.

"How can it be!" Liu Tong pointed at the old man Zhai angrily, the beard on his lips was shaking vigorously, and he pointed at the old man Zhai and scolded: "Master Hou is a disciple of the immortals, his identity is unspeakably expensive, and he can be a guest at your house with a face, which is the blessing you have cultivated for eight lifetimes. ”

When Liu Tong scolded angrily, Old Man Zhai stood there with a look of shame, but no money is no money, even if the county master scolds hard, it is no money!

"Okay, okay!" Liu Tong saw that Old Man Zhai was silent, and he took a breath, then looked at Old Man Zhai and said, "Go back and tell your eldest man to prepare to build a house!" ”

Saying this, Liu Tong turned around and left angrily, scolding in his mouth, but as soon as he took two steps, the weak voice of the old man Zhai came from behind him: "County... County Zun, the old man's family really has no money! ”

"The money has come out of this county!" When Liu Tong heard the words coming from behind him, he stomped his feet angrily, turned around and yelled angrily at Old Man Zhai.

After Liu Tong finished yelling at this, he ignored the old man Zhai and the others, and rushed towards the county government all the way, but his mouth was scolding.

What a good thing it is that Chang'an Hou can go to the farmer's house as a guest, but these fools are still worried about money, which is really stupid!

"What do you mean?" Liu Zhixian was gone, and Old Man Zhai was at a loss, looking at a few old guys beside him, and asked in a sneering manner.

"It seems that the county lord wants to fund the construction of a house for your family!" Old man Zhai's voice fell, and a 'wise man' next to him frowned and helped old man Zhai analyze.

"The county is funded!" When Old Man Zhai heard this, he immediately opened his mouth dumbly, and said with an incredulous expression: "How is this possible!" ”

"It's possible!" 'Zhisuo' looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom, looked at the old man Zhai, and said with envy: "It's not that your surname Zhai is blessed by the county lord, but you are blessed by the Hou Ye, if you want to thank you, thank the Hou Ye!" (To be continued.) )
