Bai Mei doesn't know very much, but Du Yi has her own plan, she just needs to execute it. When you pass by Yiji Restaurant, talk to Liu Suniang, the time is early. Twenty-seven, just two days before the Chinese New Year, which is good.

Du Yi's carriage had just left the palace gate, and he saw that the carriage of the lady of the Marquis of Wanhu was also parked there. Wan Qingqing's child stretched out his head and shouted: "Handsome brother, Qingqing will go to your house and play with you, okay?" ”

When Du Yi heard this, he finally couldn't help but laugh directly this time. Everyone looked at her inexplicably, and saw her touching her son's head with a smile, and said, "My son is really handsome, even his name is handsome, and sure enough, I didn't make a mistake in kissing my mother." My son is already a handsome guy! ”

Everyone made Doe stunned, and they didn't know what she meant. What handsome guy is not handsome, and it comes to Jun, does handsome mean Jun?

After laughing, Duyi's mood improved a lot, and sure enough, the children were all their parents' pistachios.

"Qingqing, do you want to be a guest at your aunt's house today? My aunt's family has a lot of delicious pastries, do you want to eat them? Du Yi felt that he was a bit like a wolf grandmother, a wolf grandmother who wanted to abduct children.

After Wan Qingqing retracted his head back into the carriage, he said to Yun'er: "Mother, can Qingqing go to the handsome brother's house as a guest?" When the little girl said this, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

Mrs. Wanhu Hou thought that she would go to discuss things with Du Yi later, so she nodded and agreed. Qingqing poked her head out with a smile on her face: "Handsome brother, Qingqing can go to your house as a guest!" ”

Xiaoshuai didn't like Qingqing at all, and when he heard this, his reaction was very direct. He buried his head in Doe's arms and didn't even lift his head. Crybaby, very nasty.

Seeing his son's reaction, Du Yi blinked, and after lowering the curtain, he said to Xiao Shuai: "You don't like Qingqing?" Why? ”

Xiao Shuai wrinkled his nose and said with a look of disgust: "Mother, she has to cry at every turn, it's so annoying!" ”

"Then if she doesn't cry, will Xiaoshuai still hate her? You see how beautiful Qingqing looks, her mother is so beautiful, Qingqing will definitely be even more beautiful when she grows up. ”

"Her mother is not as good-looking as mine. Xiao Shuai's mother is the most beautiful, Uncle Zi said that his mother is the most beautiful person in Ziyue Country, and Xiao Shuai thinks so too. ”

Du Yi's praise for his son was as sweet as honey. When he saw Bai Mei, Zi Ding and Mama Wei all covering their mouths and snickering, they said, "What about the three of them?" ”

Xiao Shuai tilted his head, looked at Ziding and Bai Mei, and nodded: "It's all beautiful, but it's not as good as a mother!" ”

Xiao Shuai's words once again attracted the laughter of everyone in the car, and Du Yi nodded his head and coaxed him to sleep. Calculate the time, it is long past the time for the little one to take a nap. It is better for children to sleep more, which is better for the body.

After returning to the mansion, Du Yi led people to the bamboo garden, and at this time, Ling Yuanfan also returned, and Du Yi dragged Yu Ziheng, who was busy in the study, over.

"Yiyi, what is this?" When Yu Ziheng saw Wanhu Hou, he was a little confused, what Du Yi was going to do.

Du Yi looked at these people and said to Ling Sheng, "Uncle, I want to borrow your study, is it okay?" "I always feel that something is wrong when talking about things in Zhuyuan.

If you want to do something so great, you should go to a solemn place to talk about it.

Du Yi's words, how could Ling Sheng disagree? And it seems that this matter involves the Wanhu Hou Mansion, although he can't understand it, he has to pay attention to it.

Wanhu Houfu is the maiden home of the Empress Dowager Wan, if Wanhu Houfu can get up, it will undoubtedly be the biggest blow to Zi Yifeng. Empress Dowager Ding can be arrogant now, just relying on the fact that she is the original queen, and the Empress Dowager Wan's maiden family is not tough enough? What determines these is the wealth of the Marquis of Wanhu.

In Ling Sheng's special study, Du Yi spread out the map of the Purple Moon Country and said to everyone: "You all know what I want to do. Now you see, starting from Crescent City, all the way around Fucheng and Xicheng, the water source should have been reduced, but a large amount of water was brought in from the main river arteries of these two places, thus increasing the height of the water...... That's it, all the way to the Blue Moon Country. However, in the Blue Moon Country, we must have someone to come forward and negotiate this matter. If not, we will set up a reservoir in front of this city to reduce the outflow of water. After the establishment of this reservoir, it has two major functions. First of all, this downstream, that is, close to the Blue Moon Country, is low-lying, and once it rains heavily, there will be serious waterlogging in the low-lying areas. However, I asked, there is a general drought here, and heavy rains are rare. After the reservoir is built, once there is a drought downstream, some water can be released in time to ensure that the people have no worries about water. ”

"Once the reservoir is established, the water in front of it will also rise, which will facilitate the passage of boats. Of course, my purpose is not to build a reservoir, but to be able to trade with the Blue Moon Country. Now putting these factors aside, the river of our Purple Moon Country bypasses the twelve great cities. In the middle, we need to set up a few docks, what is the economic capacity of these twelve big cities, and what is the main output of each of them? Or rather, what are the characteristics of each place? In addition, after establishing the location of the dock, it is necessary to quickly send someone to arrange it. Don't worry about the yamen, I'll let Ah Cheng take care of everything in advance. How many people need to be sent to each place is what you have to discuss. Lord Wanhu, how many talents do you have in your hands now, and how many people are familiar with various places? In addition, how many people are good at arithmetic, and how many people from all walks of life can be mobilized? ”

"As you know, we're going to open the canal, and there's a lot going on. One is that there needs to be a lot of money, but there is also a need for a lot of talent. This compensation needs to be negotiated, and after buying the land, how can the people make proper arrangements? Once it is built, all the restaurants and inns in the back will have to follow. After these carpenters, foremen, and restaurants and other stores are opened, how to publicize, as well as the people who operate them, are needed by all walks of life. How much can you offer over there? ”

These are all pressing issues, and Doe doesn't want to spend a lot of money and material resources to get a ghost town similar to the current one.

What Du Yi said was all within Yu Ziheng's calculations, but he didn't have so many people on his hands now, not to mention Ling Yuanfan's side. Now I've pulled Wanhu Hou over, just right.

Others don't know how many people Wanhu Hou has in his hands, but he knows it very well. How many people can be used and how many can't be used, he also has a bottom in his heart.

If Du Yi didn't care about this, he could talk to Wanhu Hou. In this way, Doy doesn't have to go back and be busy himself.

"Miss Yiyi, I can discuss these things with Master Hou in detail, and now we need to solve a problem. If this canal is used, what kind of ships will you use to transport goods? It can't be that kind of flower boat, right? The Purple Moon State-owned ships are transporting people, and it is generally not far from this town to another town or something. According to what you say, you can go from Crescent City to Chaocheng. Regardless of how long it will take, the ship alone is a big problem. Do we still have to build ships, what kind of goods, what kind of people, have you ever thought about it? ”

When Du Yi heard this, he was a little stunned. This Purple Moon Country doesn't have these cargo ships and passenger ships or anything? Are those boats like small wooden boats in the legend of the New White Lady? Or is it just the flower boat for play? Do you want that?

"I'll draw this boat and find someone to do it, you don't have to worry about it. There are so many people in Acheng, not to mention anything else, like this, it's still okay to let the Ministry of Industry contribute. If the Ministry of Industry does not agree to things that benefit the country and the people, then Shangshu does not have to do it. ”

After hearing Du Yi's words, the two marquis present couldn't help but hook the corners of their mouths. It seems that because of this canal boat matter, there will be disputes in the court again. But it's time for a change. Once what Du Yi said was really implemented, for the Purple Moon Country, it would be a major event in history. This is a matter for the benefit of the people, the country and future generations, and they naturally support it.

"Another question is, if the river freezes in winter, will the canal still work? There are many things to be transported in winter, and if you take the land route, the road is slippery and difficult to walk, and it is very easy to have accidents, and the transportation time is long and the cost is high. ”

The transportation cost in winter is huge, and if the river is fine, then he must try his best to finish it as soon as possible. Half of the money earned every winter has to be spent on transportation, which is really not worth it.

"This has to do with the ship, you don't have to worry about it, I'll take that into account. Wait until winter, and you can also use it. While Du Yi said this, he was thinking in his mind that at the front of the ship, wrapped in sharp iron clips, he could break the ice in winter, killing two birds with one stone.

It's just that in this way, the cost of shipbuilding will be much greater. According to the current situation, if there is one ship in one city, ten ships are needed. Of course, if it is a cargo ship and a passenger ship combined, it must be twenty, and I don't know if it is enough. Before that, take three places and test it, and if it's okay, then you can move on.

After Du Yi and Yu Ziheng finished speaking, they said to Wanhu Hou again: "Master Hou, you should be clear about our situation now. These things, at least in the past two or three years, will not be able to recover the cost. Until then, I can only give you a monthly allowance of your silver to ensure your minimum livelihood. As for the cooperation or something, you have to wait until you make a profit, and then you will have a share. When the time comes, we will divide these into three parts, you take three, and I, Ah Cheng, and my uncle will take seven, what do you think? Of course, this person has to be out of you, and there will be no less monthly salary. It is the other affairs of those people that are under the control of the Wanhu Hou Mansion. ”

When Wan Huhou heard this, Du Yi was completely helping him. She is just short of people, and if she has money, she will hire them directly. Now he is willing to use the form of employment in the early stage, and then divide it, which is already the biggest help to him, how can he disagree? If he takes the thirty percent, he will feel soft.

Although Du Yi is going to marry Ziyi City, after careful calculation, the remaining seventy percent will be divided into three families, and each person will be more than twenty percent. :3w.し He still earned, after all, people gave money and contributed strength, and he felt panicked when he took it.

"These are natural, but will these thirty percent be too much? So we'll get two things. The money in the early stage is all up to you, I took so much, how embarrassed! ”

Wan Hu Hou glanced at Ling Yuanfan and Yu Ziheng, and then said. Today, he knew that his family had stepped in, and if not, they could have done it. Maybe in terms of time, it will take a little more. But at least it is guaranteed that they will be able to earn more silver next.

When Du Yi heard this, he shook his head and said, "I gave you thirty percent for Master Hou for a purpose, and you listen to me." First, it is to restore the former glory of your Wanhu Hou. Because of these glories of yours, they are linked to the Empress Dowager Wan. And the Empress Dowager Wan is the biological mother of the little emperor, and she will spare no effort to protect the little emperor when she is well. Second, I want you Wanhu Marquis Mansion to protect the little emperor without reservation in the future, just as you protect the Empress Dowager now. Third, if you, or the Empress Dowager Wan, have any opposite sex, then all what I want to give you will be taken back. If there is no problem, we will indicate it in the contract when we come back. ”

Originally, the little emperor had nothing to do with Du Yi, but he was the king, the person Zi Yicheng and his uncle wanted to protect, and he was Xiao Shuai's cousin. In this case, she, as the future aunt of the little emperor, also has to think about her.

Du Yi is now afraid that when the little emperor grows up and the Wanhu Marquis Mansion grows stronger, will it become the dictatorship of his relatives. As long as the Empress Dowager Wan can wholeheartedly be the little emperor and the Marquis of Wanhu, she can also agree, that is the best. Otherwise, she can give them riches, but she can also trample them under her feet.

Wanhu Hou heard Du Yi's words and nodded. Their families originally had strong heirs, but because of the decline of these years, those who were separated were all cut off from the main family. They can see through the thinness of people's hearts.

If they want to grow, they also want to have the ability to assist the little emperor well, so that they can give the remaining heirs some support in the future.

"This is naturally no problem, if Miss Yiyi is not at ease, I will sign this contract now." Wan Huhou has great admiration for Du Yi, a woman who is less than double ten, can think of this, even he, a person who has lived a long time, can't do it.

Let him call a girl, he is willing, no wonder the regent will take a fancy to her. There are really not many women in this world who can combine beauty and wisdom.

It seems that her beauty is inherited from the Zhongyong Hou family, and her wisdom is inherited from the Du family, right? I think that her father Du Quan also wanted to be a smart man.

When Du Yi heard him say this, he did not deny it. Instead, he nodded unceremoniously, and then gestured to Yu Ziheng with his eyes. The existing industry in Yi Kee is not linked to the canal this time.

In the future, what the Wanhu Hou Mansion can involve is the fee for the wharf, as well as the fee for transportation, as well as the silver sold from the commercial street built or the silver from the rent and lease of the shop. But when it comes to Yiji Restaurant and Ziyue Money, as well as wineries and other industries, it has nothing to do with these at all.
