Chapter 11: Reward him with five thunderbolts
A thunderbolt gave Chen Quan an excellent idea!
"Five thunders! This kind of death, that old boy doesn't want to have a good reputation! And it is said that during this time, he was working hard to write to the emperor to change the crown prince. Chopping this old boy to death can also alleviate Zhu Youzhang's predicament! ”
It is not easy for ordinary people to lead mines, but for Chen Quan, who once aspired to become Iron Man, it couldn't be easier. Just get a high-power electron generator.
Thinking of this, Chen Quan immediately disappeared from his room. Dongfang Undefeated, who was in another room not far away, felt the disappearance of Chen Quan's breath, and his brows furrowed. However, Dongfang Undefeated did not act rashly, and it is clear that Chen Quan was not forced to disappear.
"This guy is really weird!"
Early the next morning, after Chen Quan finished his morning cultivation, he took Dongfang Undefeated to wander around the streets of the capital. It wasn't until about ten o'clock that the two of them found a restaurant on a street close to the palace, where the ministers of the court and the central government passed by in the morning, and watched the ministers walk out of the palace from a distance while drinking in a box near the street.
"Look, that's Lord Shoufu Wan, his unicorn jade pendant is really good, how nice it would be if he could borrow it to play with it!"
Seeing Wan An come out to say goodbye to several ministers around him, Chen Quan suddenly pointed at him and said to Dongfang Undefeated on the opposite side.
"Say what you want me to do!"
Glancing at Wan An in the distance, Dongfang Undefeated put down his wine glass, stared at his eyes and said.
"Nothing! I just want to ask you to go to Wan'an's house tonight, and unknowingly lend the unicorn jade pendant back for me to play with, and then send it back. ”
Chen Quantian shamelessly pleaded to Dongfang Undefeated.
"Let me be a thief?! With your strength, it's not difficult to steal a jade pendant! ”
Dongfang Undefeated was a little unwilling to help Chen Quan do this kind of thing.
"That old boy has recruited a few guards, and one of them has a cultivation similar to mine, and I can't get my hands on it silently."
Chen Quan shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Tell me the truth, and I'll help you!"
Dongfang Undefeated didn't believe that Chen Quan would let himself make a move for a jade pendant, he must have other reasons for doing so.
"Alright! I think that old boy paid for what he did! That is, I want him to die! ”
"I said this soon, and I was inexplicably strolled around for most of the hour early in the morning!"
After saying it coldly, Dongfang was undefeated and got up and left.
"You think I don't want to say it directly! You have to know what's right for this old boy! ”
Helplessly defended, Chen Quan also walked out of the private room. However, as soon as Chen Quan walked out of the restaurant, he heard someone calling him.
"Chen Dongjia, please wait!"
Chen Quan turned his head to look, it turned out to be Yu Zijun, who was the head of the household department at the time, and at this time, the old man was getting off the sedan chair and walking towards Chen Quan with an excited face.
This person is quite decent and has the heart to do practical things, but he has the toughness to do whatever it takes to achieve the end. It's a pity that his resilience often brings a lot of disasters to ordinary people.
"It turned out to be Lord Yu! I wonder what Lord Yu is looking for me? ”
Chen Quan had contact with Yu Zijun, but his relationship was not deep, and he didn't understand why he took the initiative to find him.
"The imperial court is now encountering a difficult matter, and the old man feels that if there is the help of the Chen Dong family, it can be solved by raising his hand! For the sake of tens of millions of Li people, he also asked Chen Dongjia to take the opportunity to talk to the old man in detail. ”
As soon as Yu Zijun walked to Chen Quan's side, he grabbed Chen Quan's hand, as if he was afraid that Chen Quan would escape.
"Hehe, Lord Yu invites me, how dare I refuse."
With that, Chen Quan took Yu Zijun back to this restaurant, and it was the box by the window just now. This scene is naturally seen in the eyes of many people. Although many officials have flashed some thoughts, Chen Quan and Yu Zijun's actions are above board, and they don't have much to say.
"I don't know why Lord Yu is looking for his late life?"
After the two sat down, Chen Quan first poured a cup of tea for Yu Zijun and asked.
"Has the Chen family ever heard the old man's proposal to expand the side wall?"
Yu Zijun did not directly state his purpose, but asked Chen Quan this question.
Yu Zijun insisted on expanding the northern border wall, expanding the northern border wall for more than 1,000 miles, adding more than three times the number of defense facilities, and using a huge project of more than 80,000 people. Chen Quan had naturally heard of such a big thing.
Such a big project, even if Daming already has a grain crop with a huge yield of sweet potatoes at this time, it is still a very energy-consuming move. It is precisely because of this that almost everyone in the court has opposing opinions.
"Lord Yu is too polite, just call your nephew a late child. As for your suggestion to expand the side wall, my lord, I have naturally heard about it. ”
At this time, Chen Quan also understood. This Yu Zijun wanted his rich businessman to fund and support his project.
"Do you think it's time to expand?"
Yu Zijun stared at Chen Quan very seriously and asked.
Faced with this question, Chen Quan did not answer immediately, but sat in his place and thought slowly. Yu Zijun didn't bother him, after all, this is a big deal, and if he gives an attitude without thinking, then Yu Zijun will also think that Chen Quan is talking nonsense.
And Chen Quan's thinking here is not the question of whether to support Yu Zijun, Chen Quan doesn't care about the money made in this world at all. Even if he took it all out to support Yu Zijun, what he was thinking about was whether he could use Yu Zijun's matter to make himself have more weight in the emperor's heart, and cut off Wan Guifei's right arm this time, and the emperor would not take himself as the object of suspicion.
"Lord Yu, I think that the side wall should indeed be renovated, but it shouldn't be too eager! And the way it works should change a bit, too. ”
Chen Quan said after thinking about it.
"No, if you can't finish the battle, then procrastination will be anticlimactic. And it will give a lot of rats a chance to get their hands on it! ”
Yu Zijun shook his head and said disappointedly.
"My lord misunderstood! In the future, the duration of this project is not to be extended indefinitely, but to expand it from a few months to three or four years. And change unpaid civil service to wage labor! ”
Yu Zijun was so eager that such a big project wanted to be completed in a few months. It is conceivable that if he really does what he thinks, he will inevitably exhaust a large number of people.
"Three or four years is acceptable, but instead of requisitioning civil service and changing employment, the cost of silver is probably several times that of the original, and the court can't afford it!"
Yu Zijun made a little calculation and knew how terrifying it would be if such a project was hired to do it. I'm afraid that all the taxes of the Ming Dynasty in a year are not enough.
"The matter of the silver two, I can help the court solve it later."
Chen Quan said confidently.
"You help the court solve it? Even if you give away all your net worth, I'm afraid it won't be enough! ”
Yu Zijun looked at Chen Quan in surprise.
"Hehe, my lord, I am reluctant to take out so much money in my later life. What's more, most of the existing industries in the late life are involved in other people, and even if the late students are happy, others will not be happy. The reason why the late students are sure to provide the cost of refurbishment and strengthening is because the late students have developed another source of income! ”
Chen Quan smiled and took out a steel ingot and put it in front of Yu Zijun.
