Wei Qing was in a very bad mood during this time, he was always distracted, and even when he was guarding in Jianzhang Palace, he was absent-minded. Jianzhang Palace is the place where the emperor lives, and ministers at all levels will come to the emperor to discuss matters, guard outside the palace gate, and some things inside can be heard. The emperor originally issued an order in the Su family to let Su Ren build Taixue, Wei Qing knew about it, but Wei Qing didn't expect that the emperor really didn't pay a penny.

Wei Qing also inquired, it took a million dollars to build Taixue, and he had never seen so much money, and he had never thought about it. If the emperor doesn't pay for it, Su Ren will naturally have to pay for it. Wei Qing felt that he was sorry not to go to him, Brother Su, if he hadn't taken the emperor to go, there would not have been such a thing.

On this day, Liu Che was in a good mood and took the guards to Shanglin Yuan to hunt, and Wei Qing was among them as a guard. Because Wei Qing was absent-minded, he let go of a sika deer that had been completely surrounded, which caused everyone to be dissatisfied.

Liu Che is Wei Qing's brother-in-law and the emperor, and he still has the necessary generosity. Looking at Wei Qing, who was kneeling in front of his horse to plead guilty, Liu Che smiled, turned over and dismounted: "What's wrong?" My Shanglin Yuan is not good? ”

Wei Qing didn't even dare to say it, and the expression on his face was very helpless. Liu Che waved his hand to drive the other guards away, and pulled Wei Qing and the two to sit down on the stones beside the road, Liu Che smiled: "Still sad about your big brother Su's affairs?" ”

Wei Qing was stunned for a moment, hurriedly raised his head, and looked at Liu Che pitifully: "Your Majesty forgives me, although the relationship between the minister and Brother Su is not long, but I admire Brother Su very much, if I don't go to Brother Su this time, Your Majesty will not go back, there will be no follow-up, a million dollars is not a small money, the minister has never seen it in his life!" ”

Liu Che laughed and patted Wei Qing on the shoulder: "You haven't seen it, it doesn't mean that your big brother Su hasn't seen it, as far as I know, this time Su Ren came to Chang'an to save Dong Zhongshu and the Wen Party, and prepared five million dollars, although he gave some to Xuchang, less than one percent was spent, and this money is nothing in the eyes of your big brother Su." ”

Wei Qing looked at Liu Che in shock: "Five million dollars!" ”

Liu Che nodded: "Didn't you keep saying that your big brother Su was very bold, and when he was nothing, he dared to go to Pingyang to find the Marquis of Pingyang, find me, and persuade Princess Pingyang to let me help him, what?" Don't believe in your big brother Su at this time? ”

"Foolishness!"

Liu Che smiled: "Okay, get up!" I saw that Su Ren was busy for a while, and he devoted himself to the construction of Taixue, and when this matter became a heavy reward for me, you were brought back from Pingyang, and they all said that you are superb in martial arts, don't embarrass me! ”

"No!" Wei Qing hurriedly got up and saluted.

Gongsun Ao and Li Danghu carried a golden chicken and ran over happily. The two of them were very happy, the brocade chicken in their hands was big and fat, the hair on the tail was particularly long, and it was very beautiful when the sun shone on it.

Gongsun Ao shouted: "Your Majesty, can this golden rooster be rewarded to Weichen?" ”

Liu Che smiled and asked, "Why?" ”

Gongsun Ao straightened his chest: "He goes into battle to fight every day, and when the ministers make great achievements, he will use this brocade chicken feather to make a helmet, and when it sways under the sun, it will dazzle the enemy!" ”

"Hahaha......" Liu Che laughed: "Do you know whose helmet uses brocade cocktail feathers?" ”

"General! The minister must kill more enemies, and let His Majesty appoint the minister as a general! ”

Liu Che nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I will reward you with this golden chicken, and on the day you become a general, I will personally insert the tail feathers on the helmet for you!" ”

Gongsun Ao was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Che looked at Li Danghu again and focused on his left leg: "How is it?" It's not a big deal, right? ”

Li Danghu raised his left leg and moved twice: "It's not a big deal, it's just a scar, thanks to Su Ren, I heard the medical officer say that if it wasn't for the timely stop of bleeding and the proper handling of the back, this leg of the minister would be useless!" ”

Gongsun Ao smiled: "Not to mention one leg, I heard that if Su Ren hadn't pulled you out of the car, your life would have been gone, and Your Majesty would have one less general!" ”

Li Danghu nodded again and again: "Yes!" also said that he was going to Su Ren's house to thank him, and he almost forgot about it after patronizing and playing in the past few days! ”

Liu Che also nodded: "Speaking of which, the family was injured for me, and that Su Ren also saved my life, thanks to Su Ren, let Wei Qing take you to his house in a few days, Su Ren's cooking methods are very good, but unfortunately the banquet was disturbed by Dong Zhongshu and the Wen Party that day, otherwise I would have to taste it." ”

Gongsun Ao handed over the brocade chicken to his subordinates to deal with, took off his helmet, and sat next to Liu Che: "You said Su Ren so well, I want to go and see it, when you go, how about taking me with you?" ”

Gongsun He led the people, carrying a wild boar that had turned into a hedgehog, covered in blood, and threw the wild boar to the ground: "And me, you all go, it's not a matter to leave me behind!" Last time I escorted His Majesty to Pingyang, I couldn't see the Su Ren you said, it's a pity, I heard that Su Ren was very powerful when he was in Shu County, and he also served as a captain in Chengdu, went to Yuanshan alone, persuaded 100,000 mountain thieves, and led a thousand people to resist 10,000 rebels, and finally defeated the rebels without blood, how can such a character not be seen? ”

Han Yan sneered: "Another good martial artist!" ”

Gongsun Ao smiled: "What are you doing with bad martial arts?" It is the time to open up the territory for His Majesty, how can we learn from those Confucian scholars all day long, I have a headache when I listen to it. ”

Li Danghu smiled: "I have to do martial arts, we are all His Majesty's people, in the future, we will not only open up territory for Your Majesty, but also govern the places that have been fought for Your Majesty, although those Confucian scholars are pedantic, what they say also makes some sense, and it is always right to learn more." ”

Liu Che was overjoyed: "What the household said is very right! You are all my personal guards, and I will rely on you and you Wei Qing in the future! ”

Those who can be by Liu Che's side can be regarded as a well-established person. Li Danghu doesn't need to talk much about Li Guang's eldest son, Gongsun He is the son of Pingqu Hou Gongsun Hunxie, Han Yan is the descendant of Han Wangxin, the founder of the Han Dynasty, and the most unfortunate Gongsun Ao is now a rider, only Wei Qing just came to Jianzhang Palace by relying on his sister. Liu Che's words brought Wei Qing closer to his circle and made Wei Qing grateful.

The crowd stood up and saluted and received the commandment. Liu Che was extremely happy and turned on his horse: "Let's go, whoever hunts the most today will be rewarded!" ”

Several people hurriedly got on their horses and shouted and galloped away with Liu Che. As soon as they left the resting place, the three black-clothed people flashed out of the bushes, looking at the direction of Liu Che and the others, several people made eye contact, and got into the weeds on the side again.

Su Ren was very busy, in order to adapt himself to the strange drawing method of the Han map, Su Ren carefully studied the map he took from Taichang. Later, I found out that the map was very delicately drawn, but unfortunately the proportions were not taken into account. There should be about ten acres of land near Nanguomen marked on the map, but after the actual measurement, it is not even five acres. Also, looking at the map, Qiaozikou should be thirty-eight steps away from Fucun Street, but after actually walking through it, it is more than one hundred and fifty steps.

Su Ren angrily crumpled the map of Taichang Mansion, and angrily asked Sima Xiangru to find someone to re-measure, and he wanted to make it himself. It took ten days, while measuring, drawing, using uniform proportions and uniform lines, to mark all the places around Taixue they were going to build on the map.

Looking at the strange symbols and lines on the map, Dongfang Shuo looked at it for a long time, and suddenly realized, and said to Su Ren with bright eyes: "Master Su, you are really a genius!" This thing is simply a miniature Chang'an City, even if you don't know the way, you won't go wrong! After studying it carefully for a long time, Dongfang Shuo was surprised: "Good! Great, no gap, no difference! ”

Sima Xiangru watched it for a long time, but still didn't understand. Dongfang Shuo pointed to the map and said: "This thick line is the street, the stone road, the line of each section is the dirt road, this triangle is the shop, the circle is the private house, the square place is the official office, this enters from outside the city, and the strange line that goes out is the river, how large the area and shape of each household can be seen, and this bridge is also clear, Su Gongzi is really a god!" ”

After Dongfang Shuo's guidance, Sima Xiangru's eyes lit up, and the terrain of the southwest corner of Chang'an City appeared in front of him at a glance, every street, every alley, and even every shop appeared clearly in front of Sima Xiangru. Sima Xiangru was overjoyed: "Okay, with this thing, it will be much easier to build Taixue and demolish the people!" ”

Su Ren sat aside, looked at the two guys who were over half a hundred years old and happy like children, and sneered. This thing would be a joke in the afterlife, and these two people turned out to be treasures. Hurriedly stopped the two elderly people who were about to copy, Su Ren said: "Okay, now it's clear, we have to demolish a total of 137 households, 94 shops, and two government offices, according to the plan we formulated, see how much money is needed for compensation and reconstruction." ”

"In addition, we also need to pay in advance for reconstruction, it is an astronomical amount if it is not good, I hope Mr. Cui can persuade those businessmen to invest vigorously, this is a profitable business, if it can be successful, the return will be more than ten times, now it depends on whether those businessmen have this vision."

The two who calmed down hurriedly began to calculate, and they didn't get a rough idea until the time when they were holding the lamp. Holding the account book, Sima Xiangru gasped: "It's too much, just this small piece, as Mr. said, basically costs me a year of taxes." ”

"How much is a year's tax?"

"Ten million dollars!" Dongfang Shuo gritted his teeth and said.

"It's okay, within my expectations!" Su Ren nodded: "Okay, tomorrow I will enter the palace and borrow money from His Majesty, and the two of you will start mobilizing the people, making it clear that we welcome those who want to come back, if you don't want to come back, we will compensate, and you must not force yourself to come, it is a big deal to provoke the people." ”

The two nodded yes again and again.
