Chapter 111: Hou Changqing

Qin Yu thought about it, and finally vetoed this idea, Li Shimin had already agreed to be equipped with weapons, if this was to train the security guards as soldiers, it would be strange if Li Shimin had no other ideas.

After Qin Yu signed a contract with the newly added security guards, he immediately sent these new security guards out to patrol the mountains, whether it was a worker, a security guard or a blacksmith, the wages were settled on the first day of January, and the money was urgently needed, and a part of it could be predicted in advance, at most one month's salary, which Qin Yu had just decided.

It didn't take long for the workers who got the news to let out a shocking cheer, not to mention, there were really a lot of people who were in urgent need of money.

It was only at this time that Qin Yu found that the account room was not enough, and after thinking about it, he simply found a few children from Zhangjia Village and asked them to be the account room, record and verify the wages of the workers, and withdraw them in advance, so as to ensure that no one would receive more or less wages.

The glass workshop was about to be completed, and Qin Yu sent his family to buy six hundred slaves back, three hundred to make glass, and three hundred to make cement.

Qin Yu spent a lot of money to buy this and that, but fortunately, the restaurant can bring hundreds of profits every day, otherwise it would really be insufficient.

The cement materials have not arrived, the iron ore and coal mines have not been completed, and it will take two days to start construction, Qin Yu thought about it, and the workshop has not been decided, so he immediately sent someone to find the contractor surnamed Wang.

As soon as the merchant surnamed Wang arrived at Qingfeng Residence, he bowed respectfully and said, "The little one has seen the little grandfather." Obviously, the foreman surnamed Wang also knew that Qin Yu was named the founding county prince, otherwise he wouldn't have called it that.

Qin Yu nodded, and then said, "You go and recruit some masons to come over, the more the better, I will also build a restaurant and a hospital." Coal yards, mines, ironworks, staff dormitories. ”。

Foreman Wang Bao was confused when he heard this, although he didn't know what Qin Yu was going to build, but he also knew that Qin Yu still had to build many houses, so he hurriedly bowed down and responded, "Yes, little grandfather." ”。

"Hmm. Go ahead. Qin Yu nodded, and said, the foreman of the Wang Bao bowed and retreated, the attitude of the foreman surnamed Wang was at least dozens of times more respectful than before, and the attitude was low.

Qin Yu after the foreman of Wang Bao left. I feel fine, but I feel like there's still something to do. I thought about it for a while. Only then did I remember one thing, "I forgot about this, build the road, otherwise it will be difficult to transport, and the road will have to wait for the cement to be ready, but now it can be sorted out first." Well, this matter can't be delayed, let's sort it out first, and wait for the cement to come out. Direct paving. ”。

After Qin Yu finished muttering, he immediately called the family and commanded, "Go, tell those workers to send three hundred people to tidy up the roads in the mountains, and try to make a road three zhang wide, the narrowest not less than one zhang." ”。

"Yes, sir." Jia Ding bowed in response, and then ran to convey Qin Yu's order.

Qin Yu didn't think about opening the mountain, and Qin Yu also knew how to configure the black powder, but he didn't know the specific ratio, and before he came up with the black powder suitable for the opening of the mountain, he still honestly built the road.

"This black powder seems to be the product of Taoist alchemy, I don't know if Li Chunfeng understands this, forget it, don't trouble him, find some clever people to try it, even if it doesn't work, it's good to make a fireworks." After Qin Yu finished thinking about it, he immediately smiled, and suddenly he was stunned again, only to see Qin Yu touch his chin and say to himself.

"Gunpowder, hey, how did you forget this, this time you have to pay attention, you can't let this gunpowder spread abroad, as long as you keep this secret, Datang is still afraid of what Fanbang barbarians, how many bombs come, tsk, if you get out of the howitzers, mortars, machine guns or something, it's not a problem to dominate the world, well, you have to get a steel battleship, and you have to burn oil, otherwise you won't be able to run fast."

After Qin Yu finished muttering, the corners of his mouth immediately curled, but after a moment, he sighed again, "Sister, talents, where to find talents." ”。

"No, you have to post a recruitment notice, specifically recruit those who study skills, these people should have some foundation, and then point out that they should be able to get out, modern ones can't be made, steam ones should be fine, this is not very difficult, take your time, don't rush.".

The more Qin Yu thought about it, the more excited he became, and after thinking about it, he picked up a brush and wrote a recruitment notice, this time specifically recruiting those who study skills, these people are not valued in Datang, and even have a low status, but Qin Yu values it, and after writing it, he handed over the recruitment notice to the family and pasted it in front of the restaurant in Chang'an again.

There are still a lot of onlookers this time, but unfortunately, not anyone can apply for the job now, and the high salary above is scary, but the premise is to have their own works, no matter what it is, as long as they are recognized, they will be hired.

Chang'an, after Cheng Huailiang listened to what the servant of Qingfengju said, his face suddenly sank, the servant of Qingfengju said it simply, but how could Cheng Huailiang not hear that this was someone looking for trouble with Qin Yu again, I saw Cheng Huailiang gritted his teeth and said, "Hey, what a big dog, you dare to come." ”。

After Cheng Huailiang finished speaking, he set off to the palace and came directly to the place where Yulin Jun purchased the waist card, and the steward here naturally knew Cheng Huailiang, and hurriedly smiled and bowed down, "Oh, it turned out to be Cheng Erlang, what kind of wind blew you here." ”。

Cheng Huailiang nodded with a smile, and then said, "I haven't been to the palace for a long time, let's take a look today, no, I think of you, just come and take a look, how is it, how are you doing recently?" ”。

The steward bowed again and said with a smile on his face, "Thanks to you, it's okay, it's okay." ”。

Cheng Huailiang nodded, and then asked, "Is someone coming to make up for the waist card today?" Who is it? ”。

The steward was slightly stunned, and then understood, Cheng Huailiang is going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, this is the trouble of finding someone, the steward doesn't care about this, he doesn't want to think about it, and he said directly, "Cheng Erlang, this person's name is Liu San, and he will make up for the waist card today." ”

Cheng Huailiang patted the steward's shoulder with a smile and said, "Don't make a noise." ”。

The steward nodded with trepidation, "Certainly, definitely, Cheng Erlang can rest assured." ”。

Cheng Huailiang nodded, then left here, and after asking a few times, he found Liu San, and without thinking about it, he grabbed this person's collar and walked towards Princess Qinghe's palace, and the surrounding Yulin Army naturally knew who Cheng Huailiang was. No one dared to do it, don't put it away, they didn't even stop drinking, just watched Cheng Huailiang drag Liu San away.

"Cheng Erlang, Liu didn't offend you, right?" Liu San, who was dragged to the ground, shouted in a panic, as if he wanted to attract the attention of others, but unfortunately none of the palace maids and eunuchs who saw the situation here took care of it, and ignored them one by one.

Cheng Huailiang smiled, "You know in your heart if you offend or not, say it now." Or will you wait for Cheng to clean you up? ”。

After a long while, one of the people who were at a loss for what to do hurriedly ran to find Hou Changqing, and the other people hesitated, and then followed Cheng Huailiang from a distance, ready to see where Cheng Huailiang took Liu San.

After Liu San heard Cheng Huailiang's words. was taken aback, but he still refused to admit it. I didn't do anything to offend Cheng Huailiang.

Cheng Huailiang ignored Liu San. Then he looked at Yu Linjun, who was following behind him from a distance, and shouted, "Follow Lao Tzu again, you are good-looking." ”。

These Yulin soldiers who followed behind stopped in unison, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, no one dared to continue to follow.

It didn't take long. Cheng Huailiang dragged Liu San to Princess Qinghe's residence, and said to a few stunned eunuchs, "Go get a rope and tie him up." ”。

The eunuchs obviously knew Cheng Huailiang. knew that Princess Qinghe and Cheng Huailiang had a close relationship, so he immediately bowed down and responded, "Yes." ”。

Princess Qinghe, who heard the movement, walked out, saw Cheng Huailiang at a glance, and was about to speak, but found that something was wrong with the situation, and then asked, "Cheng Lang, what's wrong?" ”。

"Princess, this kid dares to shadow my brother-in-law behind his back, borrow your yard first." Cheng Huailiang said with a little anger.

When Liu San heard this, his body suddenly stiffened, obviously, he didn't expect Cheng Huailiang to find out about him so quickly, Princess Qinghe heard this, nodded, and just wanted to say something, the two eunuchs came over with a rope and tied Liu San up, Cheng Huailiang saw that Princess Qinghe was still in the courtyard, and then said softly, "Go back to the house first." ”。

Princess Qinghe obviously knew that Cheng Huailiang was going to torture this Liu San, and after nodding, she immediately walked towards the house.

Cheng Huailiang was relieved when he saw Princess Qinghe enter the house, and then looked at Liu San with a cold face, "Say it or not, who made it to you, don't say it, I will let you taste what life is better than death, Cheng Mou wants to see how long you can top, now say it, you can suffer less from skin and flesh, if you don't say it, hum." ”。

Liu San looked at Cheng Huailiang with fear on his face, gritted his teeth and still didn't speak, Cheng Huailiang shouted, "Okay, have backbone." Then he looked at the eunuch on the side, "Go, bring a whip, and then bring a bucket of salt water, and dip the leather whip in salt water, tsk." ”。

The two eunuchs shivered together, then bowed down and went to prepare the leather whip and salt water.

Liu San "cooed" and swallowed his saliva, obviously, this Liu San knew how uncomfortable this punishment would be, at this time Cheng Huailiang smiled gloomily, "Don't worry, the leather whip is an appetizer, and you will have to try a toothpick to drill the nail cover, the knife to pick the nail cover, a bunch of it, take your time." ”。

When Liu San heard this, he immediately shuddered, and hurriedly said, "I said, I said." ”。

"Who?" Cheng Huailiang shouted coldly.

"Hou Changqing, it's him, it's he who made me do this." Liu San screamed.

At this moment, an angry roar came from outside the courtyard gate, "Cheng Erlang! ”。

Cheng Huailiang was slightly stunned, then looked at the door, and was angry in an instant, "Hou Changqing!" Cheng Huailiang clenched his fists tightly, wanting to go up to repair Hou Changqing, but unfortunately, Cheng Huailiang couldn't beat Hou Changqing at all, and because of this, Cheng Huailiang didn't step forward.

Hou Changqing came to Cheng Huailiang, glanced at the frightened Liu San coldly, and then shouted in a low voice, "Cheng Erlang, who gave you the power to be so presumptuous in the palace, do you still have Bixia in your eyes?" ”。

Cheng Huailiang smiled coldly, "Hou Changqing, don't pretend to be garlic with Lao Tzu, this kid has already confessed to you, if you have anything to say, go and say it in front of Bixia." ”。

"Oh?" Hou Changqing raised his eyebrows, then looked at Liu San, and shouted in a low voice, "When did Hou Mou cause you to harm people behind your back?" ”。

Liu San looked at Hou Changqing's eyes, his breath suddenly paused, Cheng Huailiang suddenly understood when he saw this, and shouted, "Hou Changqing, you dare to intimidate!" ”。

Liu San's face was full of cold sweat, he looked at Cheng Huailiang, and then at Hou Changqing, suddenly stood up, gritted his teeth and crashed into the rockery on the side, the rockery here is a genuine stone, and with a "bang" sound, Liu San was paralyzed to the ground.

The eunuchs and palace maids let out a scream in unison, Princess Qinghe had just come to the door, ready to help Cheng Huailiang teach Hou Changqing a lesson, and at a glance saw Liu San lying on the ground convulsions, and suddenly let out a scream, and then fainted on the ground, the palace maids and eunuchs were startled, and shouted one by one, "Come on, come on, the princess fainted." ”。

Seeing this, Cheng Huailiang hurriedly rushed over, held Princess Qinghe in his arms, and then went to pinch Princess Qinghe's people.

It didn't take long for Princess Qinghe to wake up faintly, but her eyes were full of fear, and she held Cheng Huailiang tightly, Cheng Huailiang hurriedly whispered a few words of comfort, and then hugged Princess Qinghe to the house.

Hou Changqing frowned, and then instructed Yu Linjun behind him, "Carry it down and bury it, although he is ruthless, Hou cannot be unjust, his family is so good to settle down." ”。

"Yes, Commander." The Yulin soldiers bowed in response, and then stepped forward to carry Liu San's body out of Princess Qinghe's courtyard. (To be continued......)
