Qin Wei smiled: "The prince is busy and confused, what time is the first time?" I'm thirteen today. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Qin Lei frowned and asked, "When will the group of uncles in the capital report for duty?" ”

Qin Wei said in his heart, it turned out that he was asking this. Hurriedly replied: "The eighth day of the first month." ”

Hearing this, Qin Lei threw away the mud in his hand, and said with a displeased face: "Are you here?" ”

Qin Wei whispered, "None of them came." He is also a member of the Qin clan, and his two elder brothers are also among those who should come to report, so he stubbornly explained: "Maybe something has changed." ”

Qin Lei took the towel he handed over, went to the river to wash his hands, and he was shocked in the cold river water town, and said bluntly: "If there is anything, does Shen Bing in the capital eat corpse rice?" As his position became higher and higher, the people around him were always like stars holding the moon, making it difficult for Qin Lei to endure the disobedience of others to his will.

Qin Wei was so frightened by him that he was silent, curled up to the side and didn't know what to say, Qin Lei saw his scared look, and half of the ignorant karmic fire disappeared, and scolded with a smile: "What are you afraid of, Lao Tzu can't eat you again." ”

Qin Wei hurriedly laughed and said, "As soon as the prince glared at his subordinates, he was scared like a quail. ”

This lord's anger came and went quickly, and he said calmly: "Prepare the horse, and the lonely king will personally go to Beijing to invite those masters." He bit the word 'uncle' very hard, and Qin Wei was frightened when he heard it, so he hurriedly responded and trotted to prepare.

Taking advantage of this vacancy, Qin Lei went to the mud pond and ordered someone to call Le Buyi over. In fact, he can take a boat from the Jingshui River in the north of the mountain to enter the Jingshan camp, but that is too laborious, not as fast as this kind of 'communication basically relies on roaring', and it can also exercise the body and mind and increase lung capacity.

Of course, it is to increase the lung capacity of Bo Xun Saiyang and Qin Ba.

Qin Lei only told him that he would return to Beijing for a few days, and he would leave Shi Yong to continue to take the guards and soldiers to drop bricks. Of course, there is also the meaning of protecting the camp of Jingshan.

Le Buyi responded with a smile, and let Qin Ba say loudly: "Lord Wang, can you contact a channel to buy ink stones?" ”

Qin Lei didn't understand what the 'ink stone' was, and when Le Buyi described: black, a stone that can be burned, Qin Lei suddenly said: "Coal? No problem. He said with a smile: "Mr. and King Gu wanted to go together, and Gu also felt that he should not use firewood to burn the kiln." ”

Le Buyi said with a smile: "There are hundreds of years old trees on Jingshan, it is a pity to use them to make firewood, and the students have seen the local people use graphite to burn kilns in Taiyuan Mansion, and the effect seems to be much better than firewood." At present, it will take some days for these bricks to dry, and a batch of graphite fired bricks can be entered. ”

Qin Lei responded with a full mouth, and asked Bo Xian Saiyang to ask: "What else does Mr. need, the lonely king will go back to Beijing to do it together." Le Buyi unceremoniously ordered 500 craftsmen and 10,000 people.

Qin Lei smiled bitterly: "Lonely King, try it." "Fortunately, there is no work in the fields at this time, and until the spring of the next year, there is no worry about finding a man.

didn't dare to entangle with Le Buyi anymore, Qin Lei used the excuse of arranging the army, so he fled in a hurry. Found a few Qin Hushui who were commanding his subordinates to break the blank, Qin Lei told the matter, he wanted them to move bricks here with peace of mind, but he didn't want Qin Zhicai to squeeze his eyes and smile: "This matter is not difficult, the prince only needs to take us soldiers back, are you still worried about arresting people?" ”

Qin Lei slapped his thigh when he heard this and said, "That's right, why did you forget about you?" Quickly pack up and go back to Beijing with Lone. "These soldiers have clan soldiers in their families who have not come, and sending them home to do work is much more effective than him being scary.

Qin Zhicai ordered a thousand soldiers, and together with a thousand black-armored cavalry, escorted Qin Lei to the capital.

Along the way, the horses were fast, and the next day at dawn, they had arrived outside the south gate of the central capital. There is a rule in the city gate division that the prince can bring 500 guards when he enters Beijing, and the county king can only bring 300. Qin Lei asked the black-armored cavalry to wait outside the city, and only brought the black-clothed guards into the city.

Originally, he was still a little worried about the soldiers, but Qin Zhicai blinked and smiled: "Look, the prince." So he took a thousand of his sons and rode to the gate of Heshunmen.

At this time, the city gate had just been opened, and the flow of people at the gate was still very scarce, and the soldiers guarding the gate saw more than a thousand fierce-looking and dusty knights in strong clothes lining up. They have been guarding the door for all these years, but they have never seen such a battle, so they dare not be careless, and quickly ring the alarm bell.

With the sound of the alarm bell ......', a group of soldiers of the City Patrol Division rushed out of the door hole, and after a while, the city wall was also full of soldiers of the City Gate Division with bows and arrows.

The more than 1,000 knights in strong suits were not panicked, and still looked at these heavily guarded soldiers with a smile, as if they were watching a monkey show.

A fat head with a helmet and armor poked out of the city, and asked loudly: "Where are the crowds coming from in the city, the imperial court has a rule that gangs of more than 100 people need to report to the city gate division one day in advance when they enter Beijing?" Can you report? "It's hard to be a Beijing official, and it's not easy to be a city gate official in Beijing, every day the officials and nobles go in and out, and if they are provoked, there will be no good fruit to eat. Therefore, they all practiced a pair of thieves' bright moves. How can you not see that these people came from the army? It's not to be too arrogant.

Qin Zhicai smiled and raised his head and said, "I haven't reported it." ”

The principal's face was stunned, and he smiled forcefully: "Then you should report and come back tomorrow." ”

Qin Zhicai said with a look of surprise: "When do you have to report when you go home?" ”

The chief of the city laughed and said, "Could it be that more than 1,000 people are going home?" Unexpectedly, more than 1,000 men in strong suits in the city nodded in unison and said, "Yes, yes!" There was also a strange voice with a quick mouth: "We just met on the road, but we don't know each other." ”

The head of the city turned dark, and ordered in a deep voice: "Check their road guides, and let them in if they belong to the Zhongdu clan, no...... Hugh blames the official for being unkind. ”

The men in the suits below were not flustered, but still laughed together. The soldiers guarding the gate began to inspect the road guide, as long as it was the Zhongdu people's clan, they were put into the city, and one was checked, and another was still checked, and hundreds of them were all Zhongdu people's clans, and most of them were surnamed Qin.

The main thing is that no matter how stupid he is, he knows that he has been teased, so he snorted and waved his hand, asked his subordinates to withdraw from the defense, and turned around and went down the tower.

Qin Lei saw that the soldiers were safe to enter the city, so he instructed the guards to send a message to Qin Zhicai, asking him to disband on the spot, let the soldiers go home for a while, and gather in front of Zongzheng Mansion tomorrow. He himself left with the black-clad guard.

This time he came back as a great Zongzheng, so he was going to go to Zongzheng Mansion to report first, and then go to Zhejun Wangfu to find the third child, but when he arrived in Zongzheng Mansion, he heard that the third child was visiting the fourth child in solitary confinement, Qin Lei turned to the backyard when he heard this.

Passing through the layers of courtyard walls, to the small courtyard where the fourth child was imprisoned, and stopping the report of the people, Qin Lei quietly arrived at the door of the hall, and listened to the fourth child's complaining voice: "Brother, I've been here for three months, and if I go down, I'll go crazy, and you still let me endure it?" ”

Listening to the third child's voice is not good: "You bastard and have the face to say, it's good to suffocate inside, save me trouble!" Said and sighed: "That time in the court, I know what life is better than death, if it weren't for the fifth child to support me, I'm afraid that if I don't die, I will shed my skin." ”

The fourth child was silent for a while, and then muttered after a long time: "Don't look at the last time the fifth child didn't give me a good face and bullied me." But I felt that he was human, and I was comfortable when I scolded and scolded. ”

The third smiled and said, "But it's not the time for you to swear to him." ”

The fourth child laughed at himself: "People are now the king of the two counties, the great Zongzheng, and the commander of the government soldiers, which can be described as high, and I, Qin Laosi, have become a prisoner under the ranks, kidnapping the title, and never using it." said that the two of us were wronged by the mud. ”

As soon as the third child was about to speak, he heard someone at the door say slowly: "Saying that the two of us are like clouds and mud, that is to raise the clouds." The two looked back in amazement, and saw the innocent old five standing at the door with a smile.

The two hurriedly got up to greet them, Qin Lei stepped in with a smile, and sat down with a big sword. Seeing Qin Ji's aggrieved look, Qin Lei said lightly: "I didn't think that I was a mud when I was in prison here last year. ”

Lao Si's face turned red and said, "Can you compare with me?" Are you as miserable as me? ”

Qin Lei also glared and shouted, "Have you been in prison for more than ten years in the enemy country?" Have you ever tasted the despair of being abandoned by your homeland? You were driven out thousands of miles like a lost dog, and you were pierced through the heart by an arrow when you were about to be, and you almost saw the Lord of Yama? ”

No matter how bad the fourth child is, he is also a serious prince, not to mention that he is so big, not to mention that an arrow pierces his heart, even if his skin is not broken, how can he have such a miserable experience as Qin Lei, so naturally he can't fight back.

Qin Lei smiled proudly, and smiled at the third child: "Third brother, do you think which of us is more miserable?" ”

The third laughed and said, "Why do the fifth brothers have to fight for this?" But you're more miserable. ”

The fourth child also knew that Qin Lei was extricating himself, although his technique was a little heavier, and asked, "Then how did you survive?" ”

Qin Lei's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Support? If you can't go on, you have to hold on. Why should I hold on? ”

The fourth said bitterly: "But I really can't get by." As he spoke, he lowered his head and said, "As soon as I think that this life is over, I ......."

Qin Lei didn't answer his words, and turned to look at the third brother and said, "Third brother, I originally had something to find the fourth brother, since you are here, it is the same to find you." As he spoke, he winked at the third child.

The third child smiled knowingly: "Brother, let's talk about it, I don't necessarily have an idea." As he spoke, he glanced at the fourth child, and saw that he still looked dejected.

Qin Lei instructed the guards to guard the gate, and then pretended to be mysterious: "Does the third brother know about the Jingshan camp?" ”

The third nodded and said, "I know, that was where our Qin clan's disciples were stationed earlier. He recalled: "Two years ago, my fourth brother and I went hunting nearby, and I remember that the mountain was like a dustpan. ”

Qin Lei smiled: "Third brother, do you remember the river in front of the mountain?" ”

This is difficult for the nimble third child, he thought about it and said: "Jingshui River, an old river, is said to have flowed through Zhongdu decades ago, but it was silted up later. ”

Qin Lei smiled and said, "The third brother is well-read and strong, I don't know if there is any research on the history of this river?" The third child couldn't think of a reason after thinking about it for a long time, and was about to let Qin Lei uncover the mystery, but he heard the fourth old man with his head bowed and said: "More than a hundred years ago, that river used to be the northern section of the Grand Canal, but it was later replaced by the Xiaoqing River. ”

Qin Lei was taken aback, and really admired: "Amazing, I don't think I know much." ”

The fourth child pointed to the stack of books on the kang and laughed at himself: "It's okay to be locked up, I can only let people send some miscellaneous books for recreation, one of which is mentioned in the "Water Scripture Examination". At this time, the Hundred Schools of Thought and the Subset of Classics and History were the mainstream readings, and these books on water conservancy and geography were all regarded as idle books.

Qin Lei asked again: "Then can you think about it, what is special about the location of this Jingshan camp?" ”

The third and fourth are good at calculation and management, and they don't know much about these military things, so they can't do it after thinking for a long time, so they have to ask Qin Lei to uncover the mystery. Qin Lei smiled: "Think about it, if we build a city on the top of the Jingshan Mountain, and then dredge the ancient road to open the Jingshui River, what will be the effect?" ”

Both of them were very smart, and the image of a majestic city guarding the canal and intimidating the capital immediately came to mind. The fourth swallowed and foamed: "Isn't that big?" ”

Qin Lei said in his heart, this brain can't do without money. smiled: "Not only is it bigger, but it is also developed!" The two princes immediately understood what he meant, the two glanced at each other, and the third asked softly: "Fifth brother, tell me about it, can our Qin clan's disciples become weapons?" "If there is no strong army to defend it, even if a strong city is built, it will be robbed.

Qin Lei nodded firmly and said, "As long as you go through a year of training, it's no problem to reach the average level of the forbidden army." Ever since he saw the discipline of the Kyoyama clan and the pursuit of accuracy in his bones, he has always been very confident.

The third child suddenly grabbed the fourth child's hand and said excitedly: "If that's the case, we won't have to suffer that nest anymore!" What don't you want to do? ”

The fourth man frowned and said: "Repairing the city, connecting the river, and training the army are all money-burning livelihoods." Especially repairing the city, it is a bottomless pit, a few million taels may not be enough, do you have so much money? "It seems that prison life has made him a lot calmer and calmer.

The third child also agreed when he heard this: "The fourth brother is right, the inner government supports your brothers, and it is already very difficult for you to train the army, but you have no money to repair the city and connect the river." Afraid that Qin Lei would misunderstand, Qin Lin explained: "The annual flow of the inner mansion is about more than five million taels of silver, deducting the cost of labor, the net income is more than three million taels, and we have to pay the huge expenses of our royal family, and the final storage is less than two million taels." ”

Qin Lei said with a smile: "And my clan soldiers, the annual military expenditure is one million taels less, I'm afraid it has reached the limit of my father's tolerance." ”

The third elder said: "That's right, my father also needs a lot of money, and it is impossible for his old man to allocate any more funds to us." ”

Qin Lei nodded, and said with a helpless smile: "I hurried back from Jingshan this time, just to ask the third brother, the God of Wealth, to help me, but it seems that it is going to fail." ”

The third child pondered for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "If you squeeze hard, I can still make up a million taels for you." ”

Qin Lei shook his head and said: "If something happens to the fourth brother, you will also sit on the cusp of the storm, but you can't act rashly." Said embarrassedly smiled: "You still have some silver left over from the last time, and it is estimated that it can last for a while." "There's not just a few left, not a single one of them at all. After deducting the 500,000 taels to the old eunuch Qiu, the rest went into the account of Guan Tao, and the various departments of the palace were in urgent need, but there was really not much left, and it was not a lie.

The third child asked about the scale of Jingshan City again, and Qin Lei said it honestly. Hearing that it was a super fortress with a length of 220 zhang, a width of 100 zhang, and a height of 20 zhang, the two of them were shocked at first, and even though they had an occupational disease, they calculated the cost of building the city.

This is also the reason why Qin Lei is looking for the two, although Le Buyi is awesome, but this guy is clean, he doesn't have five taels of silver on his body, and he can't conjure up money, so he irresponsibly threw the arduous and thankless task of raising money to Qin Lei. Qin Lei was really embarrassed to trouble Mr. Guantao, who had already won the reputation of 'the mule of the Longjun Palace', so he came to find these two money-making masters.

After calculating for a long time, the two muttered quietly, and the third frowned: "Although you said that you can burn bricks by yourself, you can't build Xiongcheng with bricks alone, and the huge construction costs can't be saved." ”

The fourth nodded and said: "Plus the cost of dredging, at least this amount!" As he spoke, he held out two fingers with one hand and a slap with the other.

"Two and a half million taels?" Qin Lei shouted in a low voice, "It's better to rob the treasury." ”

"As far as I know, there is not so much money in the treasury either." The third said helplessly.
