Verse 36: Sweetness and sorrow
If you want to get rich, build roads first. Yun Ye decided to enshrine this sentence as a classic quote in his life journey.
Who would have thought that there are many hidden dangers on the mighty river, there is no majestic and tall Three Gorges Dam here, there is only a thing called the muddy pile, the name of this thing is good, but in fact it is a devil who eats people and does not spit out bones, how many years, I don't know how many boatmen are buried under this reef, the ship is destroyed and people die, and the bones are gone, if you want to put Jin Sinan down from there, you will be hit into several pieces by that reef, and in the end you can only get a section of broken wood, which is useless.
"Boy, unless you ride on it and keep the wood upright all the time, then you can put the wood." Li Xiaogong finished talking and made a joke about Yunye.
"What's so hard about keeping the wood upright all the time, and you don't have to ride it yourself." Yun Ye replied angrily, but who knew that Li Xiaogong asked seriously: "Ji will be released?" ”
"Your old man has shot arrows all his life, don't you understand this reason, when have you ever seen an arrow tumbling forward, you only need to add a tail wing to the back of the wood, and the younger generation will ensure that the log will run straight forward, and will not run sideways and hit that damn reef.
Li Xiaogong grabbed Yun Ye's head and studied it carefully for a while, and said to Xiao Yu: "People always say that whoever has the opportunity to become unique, the old man always thinks it's nonsense, but I didn't expect to see it here." Brother Shi Wen, what do you say? ”
Xiao Yu laughed and said: "If he solves my problem, the old man will agree, boy, do you know that the golden silk nanmu can't float on the water, it can only be suspended in the water, boy, it can't float, how do you tie it into a wooden row?" ”
Hearing him say this, Li Xiaogong began to laugh again. Tell the servant to bring a basin of water. took a golden silk nan pen from the case and threw it into the basin, sure enough. The pen rests in the middle of the water, neither sinking nor floating.
See this. Cheng Chu was dumbfounded, the boss with his mouth open, saliva flowing down without realizing it.
Li Xiaogong and Xiao Yu, two unscrupulous old men, began to laugh again, and the meaning of schadenfreude was very obvious.
Yun Ye took a few brushes from the bookcase, removed the nibs, and found some strings to tie the bamboo pipe and the pen together. Then he threw it into the water again, and this time the pen floated steadily on the water, never to sink again.
The two old men stopped laughing too quickly. I almost didn't come up in one breath. Choked and rolled his eyes.
Cheng Chumo clapped his hands happily like a child and shouted: "It's floating, it's floating." The two old men were out of line. ”
Before the words fell, he received a slap on the back of the head and a big kick on the buttocks, and the two old men became angry, and they couldn't argue, so they began to play the prestige of the elders.
"Uncle Li, Uncle Xiao, the kid is going to take advantage of the rising water of the Yangtze River in August to transport out the golden silk nanmu, a thousand, when the river will completely submerge the reef, there is half a year, how can it be enough for the kid to toss."
"There are still some old guys in the old man's family who fought with the old man in the north and south, and they can lend it to you, but the salary has to be paid from the thick, if the old man hears the wind and says, you are not good to them, the old man will go to Yushan to find you a theory."
Yun Ye naturally agreed, those veterans were also going to work hard, and the Yun family would naturally not be treated badly.
"Lao Li, you and my brother are half-buried people in the loess, why are you waiting if you don't take the opportunity to get a coffin?" Xiao Yu heard that there were a thousand nanmu and could bear it, and instigated Li Xiaogong to take the opportunity to ask for benefits.
Li Xiaogong shook his hand to Xiao Yu and said: "This kid has enough debts on his body, let's not join in the fun, when his business is over, I want Jinsi Nanmu, let the veterans go again, why bother with this fun." ”
Xiao Yu smiled at Yun Ye and said, "The old man is greedy, boy, don't go out to ruin the old man's reputation." ”
One hundred veterans, this is the number of sailors promised by Li Xiaogong, with them, Yun Ye thinks that the rest is not a problem, there are many nanmu near the White Emperor City, but the place is too steep, there is no way to transport it out, the local people are guarding the money bags and begging everywhere, Yun Ye believes that with such a large income, the officials and people there will be much better.
As for whether it will set a bad precedent for future generations, and guide Jin Sinan to disappear from Shu, this is not something that Yun Ye can consider, rather than being used by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to build a mausoleum in the future, it is better to build the most magnificent palace in the world now.
The entire palace Yun Ye was handed over to Gong Yimu, the Gong Yi family is the best choice in this regard, after the husband lost the news, he was so excited that he burst into tears, and immediately invited Lu Ban's tablet, the whole family worshipped, and invited Yun Ye and Li Gang to watch the ceremony.
Planers, saws. Ink bucket, and other woodworking utensils were put on the offering table, there was no three animal salutes, and there was no cigarette smoke, the descendants of the public lost sincerely prayed, the public lost the wood after reading the sacrificial words, shouted "start work" and stepped forward to pick up the saw, sawed a gap in the wood prepared in advance, the male lost A used a planer to dig out a long slip of shavings, put the shavings on the table, and the male wood officially began to distribute patterns.
Miniature model, this is the first step for the public loser, only three elders are qualified to serve by hand, even the male loser can only play the hand, the other public losers are not idle, the little daughter-in-law is using a knife to cut those countless rafters, the old woman of the family began to use embroidery to make all kinds of doors and windows, even the carvings on the doors and windows are clearly recognizable.
Leave things to professional people, this is a maxim of success, and the public loser is undoubtedly the best professional in this industry.
Pei Ying now has a soft spot for dangerous work, and the more dangerous he is, the happier he is, I heard that transporting wood is the most terrible job, he jumped to his feet to go, and said that the Pei family's strength in Shu is amazing, and this convenience does not need to be in vain.
"Don't ask to die, come back alive, you are only seventeen years old, the days ahead are still long, we still have a lot of sweetness to enjoy, now dead, what a loss, you won't live without the family? I don't believe it! ”
Facing Yun Ye's encouragement, Pei Ying laughed and said: "Brother Yun, I am currently a member of the academy, not the little son of anyone's family, this life was given to me by the academy, without the academy to take me in, I would have been made into a candle and placed in front of the Dou family's mourning hall together with green bamboo." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, at least your mother is worried about you, study hard, work hard. Climb up. Show them. "Yun Ye can only come up with a killer feature, everyone has a mother, and maternal love is the greatest. At least that's true.
As a result, Pei Ying was wrong, Pei Ying's face was deformed with a smile: "Brother Yun, I held on to the door of the house and refused to go out." I know that if I get out, I'm going to die, do you know who pushed me out? That's right, it's my mother, my own mother! In order to get me out, she grabbed four blood marks on my hand, Brother Yun, what do you think of this kind of maternal love? ”
Yun Ye is completely speechless, his mother is too ruthless. What kind of mother can do this?
"You bastard, listen, even if everyone in this world is ruthless to you, you can't give up on yourself. The more so. The more you have to take care of yourself, they are bastards. We're not, you go to a kind woman to marry, have children yourself, love your wife and children well, and it won't be long before you find out how ridiculous your heart is to die. ”
"Brother Yun, don't lie to me, I'm scared of being deceived, as long as there is such a woman, I will do it upside down."
"If you don't want to think about the right family, there should be a lot of such women, anyway, there are too few such women in the big family, you can look for it yourself, and when you find it, tell me, and I will give you a wine to celebrate."
"Brother Yun, even the old lady can't be relied on these days, it seems that the younger brother has to find a good woman by himself."
Pei Ying still went to transport wood in the end, and ran all the way to Shuzhong with a hundred and ten people, and also took Yushan, Xin Yue, and Zhao Yanling their family letters, Pei Ying tried to relieve his mental anguish through the physical pain, I hope he can succeed.
Yun Ye plans to burn bricks in the city, and in his plan, he needs to dig up the outer and inland rivers to make it a complete water transportation system, which requires digging up three streets and then building bridges on them, which requires the permission of the imperial court.
Yun Ye entered the palace with several large boxes of drawings, after all, the commander-in-chief of the project is the queen's mother, Li Er didn't know why he didn't care about this matter this time, could it be that he was ashamed to guide him and didn't dare to see Yun Ye?
As soon as this idea rose, Yun Ye spat a few mouthfuls of saliva one after another, wanting Li Er to have this kind of legendary affection, which was more difficult than a sow going up a tree.
"Why are you digging up the streets?" The eldest grandson obviously couldn't understand the construction drawings drawn by Yun Ye, but he pretended to point to the city wall on the drawings and asked.
"Because Weichen only has 30,000 yuan, he must live a careful life, the excavated soil will be burned into bricks, the extra soil will be used to raise the foundation of the new palace, and the ditch dug will be connected with the outer river to form a water network, so that the transportation of building materials will save a lot of copper money and manpower."
According to the script, Yun Ye's voice did not fluctuate, so he explained to the eldest grandson in one tone.
"You're not happy with Benhou?" The voice of the eldest grandson also unconsciously carried the unique majesty of the queen.
That's right, is it business, it's better to do business, it's better to have a relationship with the eldest grandson, the gains outweigh the losses, what Yun Ye is most afraid of is the emotional offensive, as for the problems of affairs, he never cares, there are basically no people in this world who are more knowledgeable than him.
"How dare Weichen, as soon as Niangniang gave an order, Weichen began to be tired, and several old princes saw that Weichen was pitiful, and they all took out all the food money at home for the boy to spend, and Xiaochen must use every penny to the blade, so as to live up to the expectations of several old people."
"Don't say what you say so pitifully, you have been by Benhou's side in the past few years, I don't know what kind of person you are in Benhou, although I don't know what tricks you have, Benhou can assert now, if you don't press the new palace to you, none of the officials in the entire Ministry of Industry will have the face to stay in that position, Xiaoye, what do you want so much money for, the academy you want to build, then it is not the academy, it is the second Chang'an City, the money is spent so much, and the money is used by you to repair the academy, what should the country do? Money is a number, you use more, the court uses less, you build more classrooms, the court may build one less city, which is more important, you are so smart will not understand? ”
The eldest grandson began to talk softly, what can Yun Ye do, that's how they look at money, Yun Ye was both excited and a little sad when he came to this era.
