Chapter 111: Effective
The table was instantly surrounded by people, and Zhang Lu looked at it, feeling very proud.
The notice was posted, and many people came here to register. Just looking at the number of people, Zhang Lu is a little fluttering, not only is there less rice for the people, but each person is only two small handfuls, which together is the number of a handful of rice, and the attitude is not good, pick and choose, but if it looks thinner and weaker, he directly refuses to use it.
"Official, my age is eligible, you just let me go, I have an old mother above, and she is also counting on me to earn this bit of rice to go back." Said a thin man.
Zhang Lu's eyelids didn't bother to roll, he waved his hand impatiently, ", look at you like this, thin as a wooden stick, what kind of work can you expect to do?" Not enough to waste rice! As for your mother, there will be a soup kitchen when the time comes, and she will not die of hunger! ”
The man still refused to give up, and continued to beg, "Official, you can do it, don't look at me thin, I have strength!" Give me a bite to eat. ”
Zhang Lu sneered, "You have the strength?" Okay, if you just take down my brother, I'll agree. Zhang Lu said, pointing to an official standing beside him, this official is five big and three thick-shouldered, big waist and round, at first glance, it is not easy to provoke the strength, not to mention that the people who begged for a long time are thin and long. If you don't eat enough, you're a normal person, but I'm afraid I can't beat him!
"How? Scared, right? Get out of the way! Zhang Lu sneered and finished speaking, so, picking and choosing, Zhang Lu did not recruit a few people, but there were fewer and fewer people in front of him, and he didn't know where to go.
Back to Soho, the second prince also stood beside Soho, and Zhang Lu stepped forward and said, "Back to the second prince, people have been recruited." ”
Soho and the second prince turned back together, but saw Zhang Lu followed by about twenty people.
Su Ho couldn't help frowning, "After recruiting people for so long, you have recruited so many people?" ”
Zhang Lu was stunned, a little sneering, these are still few? But he didn't dare to say anything, "This...... It's not easy to recruit these people, you see, they are all powerful. ”
Soho was very helpless, and sure enough, she looked carefully again, and saw that the bags in everyone's hands were deflated, not like there were four handfuls of rice.
"I ask you, how many meters did each of the people divide?" Soho asked.
Zhang Lu's heart sank, gritted his teeth and said, "Four...... Four! ”
Ignoring him, Soho stepped forward and came to a man and asked, "How many meters did he promise to give you a day?" ”
"Two." The people answered truthfully.
Soho instantly became angry, "Zhang Lu! How daring! ”
Seeing that the matter was revealed, Zhang Lu hurriedly knelt down and pleaded with Zhou Chengyu, "Second prince, little ......"
Zhou Chengyu didn't wait for him to finish, and kicked over, "Get out!" Who gave you the courage to withhold food without permission? ”
Zhang Lu was like a dream, he was still a fantasy, but now he was immediately beaten back to reality, and this reality is extremely cruel.
"The second prince spares his life." Zhang Lu kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Zhou Chengyu also felt ashamed that his subordinates did this kind of thing, and if he didn't get it right, he would have a bad reputation.
"Come on, drag him down!" Zhou Chengyu showed no mercy.
Just as Zhang Lu was howling and begging for mercy, there was a noise in the distance.
Su He looked at it, half of the unhappiness and worry in his heart were cleared, Zhou Jinghan walked in front, followed by a group of black and oppressive people, more than 300 people, and all of them were smiling, and the food bags around their waists were bulging.
Getting closer, Zhou Jingleng looked at all this and knew it in his heart.
Zhang Lu only felt that he had no strength in his body, and he wanted to surpass his opponent, but who would have wanted to be slapped on the ground.
"Second prince, what are you doing with such people? Do you eat rice? Zhou Jing said coldly.
Zhou Chengyu also felt that he couldn't hold it on his face, and his anger was even worse.
"The surname is white, you ...... Don't go too far! Xu felt that he was hopeless, and Zhang Lu became bolder.
"Am I excessive? This should be what I said to you, the second prince's instructions are clear, every person who comes to dig the channel must give four handfuls of rice, but you deduct half of it yourself, which is really excessive! Zhou Jing looked at him coldly and said.
"Okay, you don't have to say it, come on, take him down to me quickly, in the future, this kind of person is not allowed to appear by my side!" The second prince commanded, his voice was still a little hoarse, and after saying this, he began to cough.
Zhang Lu was taken away, and the second prince looked at Zhou Jinghan and said, "Bai Gongzi is really powerful, he has recruited so many people back at once, it seems that the progress of digging the ditch will be accelerated a lot." ”
Zhou Jinghan smiled and responded lightly, "What's so powerful about this, it's just the same trick, but I will never withhold food, and I won't abandon people for any awkward reason, as long as it is fair, all the people are naturally willing to come." ”
Zhou Chengyu blushed when he said this, this was deliberately said to him, Zhang Lu is his subordinate, and now it is indeed a shame to do this kind of thing, no matter what, others will think that he has no way to teach and condone his subordinates!
Zhou Chengyu coughed twice and stopped talking about this.
"Bai Gongzi looks familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere." Zhou Chengyu looked at Zhou Jinghan and said.
Soho's eyelids jumped, she raised her head and silently walked back and forth on the faces of the two, and her palms were sweaty.
Zhou Jinghan was already a different face at this time, and his voice also changed by deliberately taking medicine, so he was not afraid that Zhou Chengyu would admit it, but Soho was still not at ease, after all, she recognized it.
"There are many people in the world who look similar, I think the second prince has seen someone who looks like me, or...... The two of us have met, but we just don't care. Zhou Jinghan said slowly.
Zhou Chengyu always felt that something was wrong, Bai Renqing gave him a very familiar feeling, but this face was indeed unfamiliar, he really hadn't seen it, he really couldn't think of it after thinking about it, so that's it.
"Perhaps." Zhou Chengyu responded, feeling tired and a little unstable.
Soho hurriedly said, "The second prince's serious illness has not completely healed, so let's go back and rest." ”
Zhou Chengyu also felt dizzy, so he nodded, gave a few orders and left.
Seeing Zhou Chengyu's back leaving, Su He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, he didn't recognize it." ”
Zhou Jinghan's face was light, as if he didn't care about this at all.
"What are you afraid of? Recognize it, you recognize it. ”
Soho glanced at him, "It's easy to say, and there will be trouble when the time comes!" ”
Zhou Jinghan smiled and didn't say anything anymore, indeed, it is indeed much more convenient to have Bai Renqing's identity in the way.
"But Childe has really helped a lot, recruiting so many people, it should be completed here soon." In order to prevent being heard and suspicious, Soho no longer calls Zhou Jinghan the prince.
"Are you complimenting me?" Zhou Jinghan smiled with his eyebrows.
Soho smiled, "Yes, yes, praise you!" ”
Zhou Jinghan looked very satisfied, and couldn't help but say, "Actually, it's because I gave five handfuls of rice each!" ”
Soho laughed and snorted, "Give more?" ”
"Of course, otherwise where can I easily attract so much, anyway, the rice is brought by myself, there is no shortage!" Zhou Jinghan said very proudly.
Soho smiled and shook his head, sure enough, the giant businessmen are different, and they have a lot of money.
Using this method, Soho and the others will recruit people everywhere they go, and the progress will be greatly accelerated.
Ten days later, all the channels on the boundary of Jinzhou have been dug through, part of the accumulated flood leads to Jishui, part leads to the field, the water network is deep and dense, the circulation is smooth, it is a coincidence, there is a heavy rain on the day of completion, all over the country to report, there is no waterlogging, Jinzhou flood control is successful.
Zhou Chengyu also breathed a sigh of relief, now there is no need to worry, with this good start, the Jiangnan flood will definitely be successfully treated.
The emperor also received this good news, so he sent someone to quickly send the imperial wine that he had rewarded, and there were many rewards.
Zhou Chengyu was proud, but he also knew that this method was thanks to Soho, so he had a deeper respect for Soho.
Now seeing that this method is effective, Soho also has a sense of accomplishment in his heart, but looking at the heavy rain outside, Soho is still worried.
"The flood has been cured, why are you still so worried?" Zhou Jinghan sat aside and drank tea.
"The flood has been cured, but there are many people here, and many houses have been washed away, I am afraid that some people do not even have a shelter, the second prince is only concerned about the flood, and the others have never seen him tell people to do ......"
"You can rest assured of this, I have already ordered someone to repair the house, and the materials are all transported from other places, which is very convenient." Zhou Jinghan said.
Soho's eyes lit up, and she walked quickly to Zhou Jinghan's side, "What?" When did it happen? How did I not know? ”
Zhou Jinghan glanced at her helplessly and said, "There are enough things for you to worry about, I can handle these, and I will tell you what to do?" ”
"Not knowing me only makes me more worried...... Bai Gongzi, this time, you have a lot of financial and material resources. Soho smiled and groaned, deliberately aggravating the word "Bai Gongzi".
"Miss Su is here?" Zhou Chengyu's voice came from outside the door.
Soho walked to open the door and saw Zhou Chengyu holding a mahogany box in his arms looking at her and smiling.
"Why is the second prince here?" Soho asked while letting Zhou Chengyu into the house.
Zhou Chengyu said, "My father sent someone to send a reward, and this success of water control has your share of credit, so I sent this to you." Zhou Chengyu said, and when he saw that there was still someone in the room, his face instantly became a little unnatural.
"Bai Gongzi? Why are you here? Zhou Chengyu looked at Zhou Jinghan and asked.
Zhou Jinghan put down the teacup in his hand, "I heard that Miss Su's tea here is delicious, so I came to ask for a cup." ”
"If Bai Gongzi likes to drink tea, I also have a good one there, and I will send some to you when the time comes."
"Then thank you to the second prince."
Zhou Chengyu smiled politely, "If you want to say thank you, I should thank you, if it weren't for Bai Gongzi's help, the flood would not have been successfully treated so quickly." ”
