67. Wealth is in danger

The formal appointment of Qi Zheng's official position still needs to go through the relevant process, but at today's meeting, Li Jing announced that he will be his assistant in the future.

Although the experts were slightly unconvinced, no one dared to show it.

Obviously, this guy who looks like he is the red man next to the prince.

With this relationship, is it important to understand technology?

Qi Chaoqun, the commander of Zhichong, and Zuo Hansheng, the assassin of Jingzhou, immediately glanced at Yu Qizheng a few times, and had the same idea in their hearts: they had to find a way to have a good relationship with this person immediately.

Another point is that at today's meeting, the prince put forward a very difficult request for the construction of Jingzhou City. The standard that must be met for this city wall repair is: under the siege of the enemy's heavy regiments and the continuous siege of the city by siege equipment, the city wall can hold on for at least three months without rotting or breaking. And it had to be completed in ten months.

As soon as this request was raised, Qi Chaoqun and Zuo Hansheng shouted wisely. But the technologists were silent.

Originally, some people were still thinking of finding an opportunity to recommend a team that they knew well, but they immediately retreated when they heard this request.

The current city walls are all compacted with layers of soil. But no matter how strong you can tamp, how can you not rot or break under the continuous and repeated smashing of the trebuchet?

If we talk about the masonry structure, not to mention the difficulty of mining and transporting such a large amount of stone, the manpower required to build it alone is a huge number. Even if all the craftsmen in the vicinity were concentrated, it would not be possible to complete it in ten months.

Although it is okay to recruit people and make efforts, it is impossible to ensure such a high quality standard for the work done.

Hu Mufeng bowed down and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise. Jingzhou is the belly of the world, and it must be built solid. However, neither the drawings nor the construction projections presented so far have been able to meet both of these requirements. ”

Li Jing raised his eyebrows: "You mean to lower the construction standard?" ”

Hu Mufeng hurriedly knelt down: "Weichen doesn't dare." ”

Li Jing asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Hu Mufeng replied: "What Weichen means is that these drawings and bids are meaningless now. Do you simply return them all? Then tell the construction team about this requirement and ask them to re-plan it. When the time comes, we'll choose among the teams that can complete it. ”

Li Jing nodded: "Flat." That's a good suggestion, accurate. ”

Since the previous proposal had been rejected altogether, there was no need to continue discussions on specific issues.

Before Li Jing announced the adjournment of the meeting, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, make this request public." If there are skilled craftsmen, although there is no team, but can provide relevant plans, they can be directly proposed. If the plan is adopted, there are many rewards. ”

The crowd responded in unison.

After the meeting, Li Jing took Yu Qizheng back to the back hall. Before he could speak, Li Moning ran over angrily.

"Brother Huang, what do you mean?" Li Moning asked with a glare.

"What do you mean?" Li Jing pretended not to know.

"Why did you drive me away?" Li Moning said angrily.

"Hey Imperial Sister, it's not right for you to say that." Li Jing said with a smile: "This is to send you back to Beijing, how can I call you away?" ”

Li Moning said angrily: "It's the same meaning." I don't care, I won't leave. ”

Li Jingzheng said: "This is your fault." At the beginning, you said it yourself, and you will go back after the New Year. Now that the New Year has passed, what reason is there to rely on? ”

"I don't." Li Moning sat on the chair with his ass: "I won't!" You're here anyway, and I'm going to be here. ”

Li Jing couldn't help but say: "It's not that you don't know, the edict of the father and the queen mother has arrived, and you can set off if you want to, and after returning to Beijing, you will plan to recruit horses." ”

Li Moning's mouth was deflated: "I don't want it!" I don't want to get married so early. Look at Sister Xiaoluan, how many years older than me, no one is in a hurry, what am I anxious about? ”

"Nonsense!" Li Jing couldn't help but scolded: "Can this be compared? It's a shame that you're a princess. Is the royal affair comparable to that of a country fool? After the beginning of spring, I will give you a horse, this is what my father said, how can I change it at will? ”

Li Moning's eyes were red, and he lowered his head.

Li Jing couldn't bear it, and stepped forward to persuade: "Imperial sister, this girl always has to get married." Isn't it also a good thing to choose a good husband and someone who cares about you and takes care of you in the future? ”

"Brother Huang, can I stay a few more days?" Li Mening said pitifully.

"Nope." Li Jing shook his head in embarrassment: "As the crown princess, how can we take the lead in resisting and disobeying the order?" ”

"That's okay," Li Moning sighed leisurely, "Who are you going to send to send me back to Beijing?" ”

Li Jing said: "Don't worry about this, I will let the captain of the guard lead the team to escort you." ”

"That man has a straight face like a door panel all day long, I don't want it!" Li Mening pouted and said.

Li Jing smiled, and such innocuous trivial matters were left to her: "Then who do you say you want to escort you?" In this way, I will transfer whoever you want. ”

"Just him!" Li Moning pointed to Yu Qizheng's nose.

"Huh?" Li Jing couldn't help but be stunned, how could he forget this stubble.

Li Jing had already seen the sister's careful thoughts, and he had also considered this matter very seriously.

Yu Qizheng's nature is not bad, otherwise he would not have taken him with him. But with his virtue and stinky mouth, if he goes to the capital, I don't know how many people he will offend.

Also, as far as Li Jing observed, his mind should be on Qin Xiaoluan, and he shouldn't mean that to his sister. In this way, it is difficult to say what will happen to Ning'er in the future. Although I don't dare to offend openly, it is not interesting to be cold between husband and wife.

But he had already promised Li Mening just now, and it would not be good to refuse again.

Yu Qizheng himself suddenly rolled his eyes, foamed at the mouth, and trembled like chaff all over his body: "Oops, it's not good." His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Princess, I'm so cold, maybe I'm infected with a cold, I'm going to see a doctor......"

"Don't pretend!" Li Jing immediately shouted.

Can this idiot fool the past with such a retarded method?

Yu Qizheng immediately froze.

"You go down first, I have something to say to the imperial sister." Li Jing said.

After Yu Qizheng left, Li Jing asked with a pleasant face: "Ning'er, you tell the truth to the imperial brother." Do you like this doghead anymore? ”

"Brother Huang!" Li Moning's face was flushed with shame: "People won't like him!" ”

"Ning'er, Brother Huang is very serious with you." Li Jing said solemnly: "If you really mean this, you must not let him send you back to Beijing." If you don't mean that, since the imperial brother has promised you, what's the harm in sending him to you? ”

"Why?" Li Moning couldn't care about being shy.

"The reason is simple. Two words, fame. After Li Jing finished speaking, he began to explain.

If Yu Qizheng sends him back to Beijing now, and he is really recruited as a colt in the future, what will people from the outside world think?

At that time, there must be a lot of discussions, saying that the princess had a personal relationship with this Yu Qizheng before recruiting the horse.

When this kind of gossip spreads, the royal face will not look good.

When the time comes, it is absolutely impossible for the father and the queen mother to agree to this marriage.

After listening to Li Jing, Li Moning was stunned.

It seems that this is really the case. As the most favored princess, she knows her father and queen mother too well, and she will never do anything to lose face.

"Anyway, I'll tell you about this relationship. As for whether he wants to send it or not, it's up to you to decide. Li Jing saw the expression on Li Moning's face and immediately kicked the ball out.

"I don't want him to send it! Let that dog head scold me all the way to the toad! After Li Mening said this, he turned around and left indignantly.

。。。。。。。。。。

Luofeng Town, Yu Jia.

After arranging for the prince's attendants who came to report the good news to stay, Yu Canghai and Yu Cai's wife sat in the hall to discuss things.

"Big brother, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by saying that he wants to give money to Li Wei's brothers and sisters?" The rich man asked impatiently.

It doesn't mean that Canghai answered, so Mrs. Yu hurriedly said: "It won't be our son in his hands, take the opportunity to knock a pen." ”

Yu Canghai glared at his brother and daughter-in-law fiercely.

The rich man reacted quickly this time: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense." It's not wrong to say that you women have long hair and short knowledge! Will the prince look down on our family's money? Besides, if the prince wants to knock on our family, he still needs to give our son such a big official? ”

Mrs. Yu nodded, but still asked puzzledly: "Then why do you say that we want to give no less than fifty taels of silver to the good news, and also give the heirloom to Li Wei's brothers and sisters?" Also, we don't have any treasures that can make the crown princess look good. ”

This question is also too profound for the rich man. He could only look at the well-informed eldest brother with a pleading look.

Yu Canghai exhaled a long breath from his nostrils: "Brother and sister, congratulations." Maybe you can become a Qin family with the emperor. ”

Mrs. Yu's face was startled at first, and she immediately smiled: "Uncle, do you mean that Xiao Zheng is going to be a colt?" ”

The rich man's face also turned into a flower: "Big brother, really? ”

Yu Canghai said: "It's still uncertain. The prince, the prince, is really amazing. ”

Yu Caizhu and his wife didn't understand, but Yu Canghai, who had been in the officialdom all his life, quickly understood the trick in the middle.

Now Feng Yu Qi is an official and sent someone to say goodbye, on the surface, it seems to be telling the Yu family that he has no ill will towards Qi Zheng.

But the deeper meaning is quite intriguing.

With the wisdom of the crown prince, it is impossible not to see what the princess means to Qizheng.

As an elder brother, he must hope that his own sister can live happily.

But who to recruit as a colt is not his final say.

Now this treatment is enough to show that the prince's mind is ingenious and his actions are steady.

If it's just because of the promotion, it's impossible to say how much money you want.

Saying "how much money do you have to ask for from their family" is often what the woman says to the matchmaker. The purpose is to make the man value his daughter.

And the so-called "heirloom for Li Wei's brothers and sisters", what does this heirloom actually refer to?

Generally speaking, the head of a large family marries a wife, and the mother-in-law will pass on the jewelry passed down from the previous generation to the daughter-in-law to show orthodoxy.

Li Jing made this request, which can be understood as asking for a dowry for Li Moning.

What does it mean that he came to "Li Wei's brother and sister's happy money"?

Since they are Li Wei's brothers and sisters, they have nothing to do with the royal status.

In this way, even if this thing does not work out in the future, the Yu family will have nothing to blame for the royal status of the crown prince and princess.

In addition, none of these words are explicitly stated, so if you don't get married, there's nothing to talk about.

If they really become relatives, the prince's favor will be in front.

There is another implication of doing this: I have no objection to this family business, but it is impossible to directly help say good things. If something goes wrong in this matter in the future, such as what trouble Yu Qizheng has caused, it has nothing to do with me.

After listening to Yu Canghai's speech, Yu Cai's wife were dumbfounded.

"But big brother, isn't that a good thing? Why do you sigh again? The rich man asked puzzled.

Yu Canghai smiled bitterly: "What kind of virtue is your good son, don't you have any points in your heart?" ”

As soon as he said this, the rich man and his wife seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water and suddenly sobered up.

A few days ago, Yu Qi was scolding the queen's mother, and until now when he thinks about it, both of them have palpitations.

Not to mention anything else, as the eldest brother analyzed just now, just a prince, who is so scheming at a young age, how many twists and turns must there be in this belly. From this point of view, it is estimated that none of the emperor's family are fuel-efficient lamps.

What does it feel like to have a very powerful in-laws?

Yu Rich's face drooped: "Then what should we do?" ”

"What can I do? Do as the prince instructs. Yu Canghai replied.

Mrs. Yu touched the jade pendant on her chest: "Uncle, I'm really reluctant to do this." It's just that I'm worried about ...... future."

"What can you do if you're worried?" After Yu Canghai finished speaking, he sighed: "We can only find a chance to talk to that guy more, so that he can learn to be a man with his tail between his legs." ”

The rich man and his wife sighed.

Seeing their worried looks, Yu Canghai also had to comfort: "Don't worry too much. As the saying goes, wealth is sought in danger. At best, it's a splash of wealth. Besides, can it be done or not? ”

The rich man and his wife could only nod yes.

Yu Canghai suddenly remembered one thing: "By the way, you must tell that kid that there is something that you can't touch." ”

The rich couple hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yu Canghai said: "I think Xiaozheng, I am very interested in the girl in the Qin family's class. This must not be allowed to go any further. ”

Yu and his wife nodded like pecking rice: "I know, I know." ”

Qin Xiaoluan himself, who their family was worried about, was completely unaware of all this.

She didn't have time to think about it.

Quarries, brick kilns, and garment factories have been opened, and they are busy like a spinning top every day.

Not only that, but in two or three days, the construction team will be fully started, and it will be even busier at that time.
