Although it was only a few days of fatigue from Xu Du to Luoyang, Yuan Yun still felt that he couldn't lift his energy, maybe it was because he and Cai Wenji were too ridiculous these days, and he had to toss for a long time every night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This time, Cai Wenji is very cooperative, and there is no limit on a few times a month, but as long as Yuan Yun asks for it, she will respond, maybe it is in the new environment, which has let this literary young woman open up a lot, in short, Yuan Yun is like a fairy these days, and even more comfortable than a fairy.

The construction of Luoyang has reached a certain scale, at least the cement and masonry workshops are complete, and before Yuan Yun came, Cheng Yu did a lot of preliminary work, which made many things much easier.

The use of cement has long been skilled in the hands of these craftsmen in the new city, and the emergence of bricks has revolutionized the construction of wood, which has always been based on wood, and the houses are not only built quickly, but also more solid, fireproof and moisture-proof, and low cost.

Cheng Yu looked at all kinds of new technologies emerging one after another, and finally understood the reason why Yuan Yun was always able to make more money than others, but he really didn't want to admit it.

has been studying hard, working hard to study Confucianism and culture, and then studying all kinds of military books in detail, and he also knows the art of vertical and horizontal, and finally found that these things together are not as good as a hammer in the hands of a craftsman, which makes Cheng Yu feel that it hurts a lot, so even if he understands the truth, he still doesn't want to admit it, at least he doesn't recognize it.

The huge city wall in front of me was built very quickly, and those large boom machines could be operated even by children, and the thousands of pounds of boulders were like paper paste, which could be built in minutes, and then bricks and cement were added, and even steel bars were added to them.

Cheng Yu didn't believe that such a city wall would be destroyed, so he hoped that the Luoyang city wall would be built faster, and once the four walls were closed, he could really confirm that it was safe here.

That's what he said in his old knowledge, and what he had seen with his own eyes over the years had led him to believe that it was the right thing to do by building the walls first to ensure safety, and then to consider the facilities in the city last.

Yuan Yun really invested all the manpower and material resources as he promised, and he didn't make any other calculations, and Cheng Yu finally settled down a lot in his heart.

However, recently, there have been reports from small officials that with the expansion of the city wall and the increase in the labor sent by Xudu, it is becoming more and more difficult to supply cement workshops and masonry workshops, and it is hoped that the number of these two workshops can be expanded again.

Cheng Yu didn't care at first, but when 10,000 laborers rested for three days because there was no masonry and cement, his heart began to grow hair, and 10,000 laborers were idle, which was a great waste.

For this reason, Cheng Yu decided to discuss with Yuan Yun to increase the investment in some cement workshops and masonry workshops, and these can only take effect after Yuan Yun's approval.

Luoyang Yuan Mansion has now lived in a lot of people, the popularity of the whole house is vibrant, Cheng Yu felt very comfortable after entering the door, he actually likes the crowded environment very much, which represents abundant manpower and more vitality.

Yuan Yun beckoned Cheng Yu to sit down in the study, and then ordered the maid to serve tea, while he himself squeezed into a strange chair.

Although Cheng Yu likes this kind of chair called a sofa, after knowing the cost, he despises it very much, thinking that it is a senseless waste.

"Yuan Hou will enjoy it, it's just a Hu chair, you actually use steel again, and you want to wrap the fur of beasts, isn't it too extravagant?" Cheng Yu touched the sofa under his buttocks, looking very dissatisfied.

Yuan Yun shrugged indifferently and said: "This thing is not more expensive, how can it be sold at a good price, if it is not sold at a good price, how to support the construction of Luoyang, the little money given by the imperial court is not enough to stuff my teeth, and I am also helpless." ”

Cheng Yu blushed a little when he heard this, when the imperial court was making a budget, he tried his best to persuade and push the price lower and lower, so that after he came to Luoyang, he felt that he was really too much.

Hearing Yuan Yun say this at this moment, he could only smile awkwardly, and continued: "The imperial court has been at war in recent years, first eliminating Yuan Shu, who is the emperor, and then dealing with Yuan Shao in the north, and also destroying Li Dao during this time, the treasury really has no money left, and can only rely on Yuan Hou's ability to do so." ”

Yuan Yun frowned, and wanted to tell Cheng Yu that the crusade against Chang'an Li Dao's court did not give a penny, and it was completely self-sufficient in Xincheng, and this account had not yet had time to be calculated.

With a wry smile, Yuan Yun said: "Since they all expect me to make money like Dr. Fan Li in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, then Mr. Cheng Yu doesn't care how I operate it, this sofa now has a model, and then it is to look at the manufacturing, so that I can earn back more money to maintain the cost of Luoyang's reconstruction, which can not be delayed." ”

When Cheng Yu saw Yuan Yun talking about reconstruction, he immediately hit the snake with a stick and said, "Since it is said about reconstruction, there is something that the old man needs Yuan Hou's approval to come today." ”

Yuan Yun smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng Yu said that as long as it is within the scope of his ability, he will definitely do his best." ”

Cheng Yu nodded and said: "Now the construction of the city wall in Luoyang is very smooth, but the speed is too fast, resulting in a large amount of surplus labor, which cannot last long, after all, the remaining more than 10,000 laborers also need to eat, and it is not okay to do nothing."

The main reason for the surplus of these labors is the lack of construction materials, so the old man plans to build a few more cement workshops and masonry workshops, so that the sound of building materials is faster. ”

Yuan Yun listened carefully, then left the sofa, and then paced back and forth in the study, his face seemed worried, and he looked very entangled.

Cheng Yu observed carefully for a while, and could only ask suspiciously: "Is there any difficulty with Yuan Hou?" When I came, the old man had already checked it, and we didn't have enough money and food, but also 10,000 laborers, and it was not difficult to build a few cement workshops and masonry workshops. ”

Yuan Yun sighed deeply and said: "The money, food and manpower are sufficient, but the place in Luoyang City is not enough, if there is no city wall, we can expand outward, now that the foundation of the city wall has been laid, it will not be easy to expand again." ”

Cheng Yu said unhappily: "Why do you need to expand, there are many places in the city that have not been used, and the old man can see that there are empty places everywhere at a glance, why not say that there is no land?" ”

Yuan Yun shook his head and said: "It's not for me to have the final say on this matter, Cao Sikong explained when he came, eighteen steelmaking workshops must be established, as well as thirty blacksmith workshops, plus hundreds of other types of workshops, but they have not been built yet, so the land is definitely not enough." ”

Cheng Yu frowned, Cao Cao had indeed explained this matter at the beginning, and after thinking about it, he was silent for a moment before he continued: "Why don't we move some workshops outside the city, so that we can vacate a lot of space to build cement and masonry workshops." ”

Yuan Yun still shook his head and said: "No, Mr. Cheng Yu, has you forgotten, Cao Sikong also specially explained that all city walls must be surrounded by the city wall, and you always think that building the city wall first, isn't it what you said, it is always inappropriate not to protect the workshop within the city wall?" ”

Cheng Yu was stunned, he couldn't close his mouth for a long time, and he was suddenly startled for a long time, and then looked at Yuan Yun and said: "You, you, you have already calculated that the land in the city is not enough, so you agreed so simply to the old man to build the city wall first, yes or no?" ”

Yuan Yun immediately smiled and said: "Where did Mr. Cheng Yu come from, I just arrived where I knew so many arrangements, I must have listened to your arrangement, and I didn't do anything to stop it, basically the kid you need has done it, how can you say that the kid is not?" ”

Cheng Yuqi's face kept shaking, now that the city wall has been built on the east side, and the other sides are also well grounded, now if it is expanded, it must be demolished, which is definitely a great loss.

With a wail, Cheng Yu sat on the sofa with his buttocks spread out, and said bitterly: "Yuan Hou, in order to prove that the old man was wrong, you wasted so much, don't you think too much of the old man?" Even if you peel the old man and cramp, the old man can't lose so much money and food, you, you, you...... Alas. ”

Yuan Yun was very comfortable admiring Cheng Yu's depressed face, he always felt that everything he had been ugly before had been reported, and he was directly cool to the bones, if he didn't teach this old guy a heavy lesson, he would inevitably fight with himself, the reconstruction of Luoyang was originally a big project, not only lack of money and food, but also lack of time, but there was no effort to deal with this old man, so he could only make a heavy hand, so that he could completely give up the idea of mixing indiscriminately from his heart, so as to ensure the construction in the future, which is also the next policy.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun arched his hand and said: "Mr. Cheng Yu, you have always been well-informed, why do you have to follow any ancient method this time, do you think our ancestors had such things as cement bricks?" So we must keep pace with the times, since the court trusts me and entrusts me with the reconstruction, then I should go according to my ideas, if you always have to intervene in everything, this can't continue, one army is not allowed to have two orders, this truth doesn't need to be explained by the kid, right? ”

Cheng Yu listened to Yuan Yun speak, and the more he listened, he found that the other party's face became more serious, and in the end, it was directly an order, and he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, Yuan Yun has always been a soft mud, no matter how he pinched it, it seems that he will not break out into resistance, at most, he will use some cleverness behind his back to solve it, and he will definitely not face to face like now.

Is it really wrong to do it? I cried so much that I remembered Cao Cao's arrangement, in the reconstruction of this matter, he Cheng Yu did not fully participate in it at all, his task was only to monitor, and now even the arrangement of building the city wall first has been made, it is indeed beyond his authority, but Yuan Yun did not say it directly to his face, which can be regarded as giving himself a lot of face.

With a deep sigh, Cheng Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It seems that it's time for me, the old man, to go home to farm, his brain is indeed not as fast as you young people, and the construction of the city wall this time is indeed the old man's mistake, causing such a big loss, the old man has no shame to see the lord again." ”

Yuan Yun was shocked, if he made Cheng Yu run away to retreat, Cao Cao would not pick his own skin to have a ghost, so he hurriedly comforted: "Mr. Cheng Yu's words are wrong, you are old and resourceful, but I am not as proficient in building this kind of thing as a boy, and these rough jobs are only suitable for people like me, you are still more suitable for overall planning, so don't be presumptuous." ”

Cheng Yu was the only one stunned, and looked at Yuan Yun suspiciously: "Yuan Hou thinks the old man is still useful?" ”

Yuan Yun hurriedly nodded affirmatively: "Naturally, it is useful or useful, in the future, Luoyang will rely on your old overall situation, but your contribution is indispensable." ”

"Very good, then after the city wall is demolished, the old man will be responsible for the planning of the workshops in the city, as for what workshop to build first, it should be the old man who has the final say!" Cheng Yu finished speaking happily, and then patted the armrest of the sofa with satisfaction, looking high-spirited, as for the decadence on his face just now, it seems that it has never existed.

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth twitched twice, and he felt that he seemed to be in Cheng Yu's daze, but he didn't understand why this old guy's acting skills were so superb, and he couldn't tell the truth from the false.

Unlucky, someone tricked me!

Yuan Yun snorted secretly, and had already seen Cheng Yuzhi leave the study proudly, and then walked outside the courtyard humming a small tune.
