When Wu Qianping came back, a long time had passed since the second watch. The night of the late Tang Dynasty is always so boring, at this time, serious people have already entered the dreamland, even if it is a wine shop Qinglou, it has also blown the lamp and pulled out the wax, and the jade is soft and fragrant. Ming Yi went to Wu Qianping's study to find a few books to read, but it was just a subset of scriptures and histories, obscure and boring, and she yawned again and again. Sure enough, it began to rain lightly, and the sound of dripping outside made people even more sleepy.

Hearing the footsteps of the stairs, Mingyi's sleepiness was gone, and he jumped to the door like a rabbit, and a cold wind came, shaking and running outside to meet her.

At this moment, Mingyi felt that there was something strange about it. For so long, every time I met Wu Qianping, I was sneaky, afraid of being seen, this is the first time, for the sake of a wife, to greet her husband in a bright light, righteous, not afraid of people's words.

How did you become someone else's wife? Ming Yi also felt inexplicable. It's hard to accept such a switch for a while, and perhaps that's why there's a lack of a wedding. A sense of form can make people have a deep understanding, and at this moment, it is different from this moment.

Mingyi helped Wu Qianping take off his robe and shake off some raindrops before taking it into the house and drying it by the fire.

"When you look at the fire and clouds, you know that it is going to rain at night, why don't you bring an umbrella?" Mingyi stood on tiptoe and wiped the rain from his forehead for him, afraid that he would catch a cold.

Wu Qianping grinned and said: "I went in the rain, only to show that I am dedicated to the public and do not care about myself." ”

"You, you can calculate everything you say and do." Mingyi stuffed the veil in his hand and wanted to turn away, but he pulled him back.

Wu Qianping returned the handkerchief to her, grabbed her hand, and wiped it on his face: "Don't give up halfway." No matter how much I calculated, I didn't fall into your pit. ”

Ming Yi let him: "It's your fate that fell into my treasure pit." ”

Changing Wu Qianping into clean clothes, Ming Yifang asked, "How was the talk?" ”

He was in favor of this good banquet, which was a good thing for both public and private purposes. It's just that I'm a little hesitant to give a reward. He has always held a reputation for righteousness, and he is especially concerned about his reputation. I proposed that the reward should not be in the name of the government, but in the name of the Jingzhao Mansion in advance, and the person who made the most money would receive this award, and then how to do it. In this way, it will not be a matter of fact, and it will be just a matter of business. Wu Qianping replied.

Ming Yi nodded and said: "Also, what we want is just to give Monk Ren's workshop a chance to make a name for himself, so that he can undertake the fortification without attracting criticism." It doesn't matter who gave it to him. ”

Wu Qianping seemed to suddenly remember something: "By the way, I was about to tell you that the Ministry of Industry will send a big project next month." The household department has already approved a budget of up to 500,000 taels, which will be distributed in three batches. ”

Ming Yi folded his fingers and calculated, stunned, this is a billion-level huge project, what is this going to do? Do you want to build another batch of palaces?

Wu Qianping explained: "The emperor believes in Taoism and hopes to build a cave in the inner garden to cultivate at any time. This matter was raised by the North Division in order to curry favor with the emperor. Ma Yuanzhen has been very depressed recently, but this suggestion is very popular with the emperor. Although this matter falls on my Ministry of Industry, but the Ministry of Household is staring at the expenses, Ma Yuanzhen will also intervene there to find something, after all, this is the inner garden of the palace, and he can't escape him. ”

"Blessed Heaven?" Ming Yi was a little confused, "Does this cost 500,000 taels?" ”

Wu Qianping knocked her on the head: "You, you still have too little to learn." Taoism has ten major caves, thirty-six small caves, and seventy-two blessed lands. If these caves and blessed lands are built in miniature, these 500,000 taels may not be able to stop it. ”

Ming Yi stuck out his tongue, this project is indeed huge, and the bullet in it is huge. Although these caves and blessed lands have real places and classics, they really need to be condensed in the inner garden, and they need to be re-designed, and just those Taihu Lake stones for landscaping can cost tens of thousands of taels.

"How long will it take to build such a grand fortification?" Mingyi asked.

"One year." Wu Qianping replied, "This is where the trouble is, the time is too tight. If it is divided into several workshops, it will be a waste of time just to communicate and coordinate with each other. ”

"Such a large project should be contracted to a workshop, and then they will carry out complete drawings and material calculations, purchase and transport them in a unified manner, and then implement them separately." Ming Yi continued his words.

Wu Qianping nodded: "Yes, it must be so." I want to hand over this fortification to Monk Ren, I already know their ability, only the cost and manpower are needed, and it is easy to solve. The first 100,000 taels is to create the core palace and the emperor's cultivation place, and remit all the picture scrolls of the cave heaven blessed land, and the three-month construction period will be carried out only after the joint inspection of the Beisi and Shangshu Province. ”

Mingyi's heart was surging: "This deal is enough to become a condition for me to negotiate with Shentu again." ”

"Oh? What are you going to talk about? Let him give up his cooperation with Chu Niangzi? I'm afraid it's not easy. The benefits of private salt year after year are long-term solutions. And once I am not in this ministry, you will have no confidence. Wu Qianping seems to have a plan, but he wants to hear Mingyi's opinion.

Ming Yi shook his head: "I won't let him have to cooperate with Chu Niangzi, isn't this a smash on his own feet?" One day, Chu Niangzi's business is still the same as mine. What I want to do is not break or stand. ”

"You want to break the official first?" Wu Qianping raised his eyebrows and asked, "Isn't this a smash on your feet?" ”

"I want to encroach on Chu Boyan's power in the Shangguan gang, since he has already admitted that I am the deputy gang leader of Shangguan, nominally, everything I do is Shangguan, but I will let him gradually hang in the air until Yinniang shows his true face." Ming Yi faintly showed a hint of hatred.

"Interesting, I see that your hatred for Yinniang is much more than your desire for power in the Shangguan gang." Wu Qianping looked at her eyes with a hint of vigilance, "Is there any point in your dislike of her because she has now become the partner at the beginning of the time?" ”

Ming Yi wanted to laugh a little, and did not avoid his gaze: "You still mind that he came to see me?" If the two of them hook up, I don't care, I just hope that she will let Chu Boyan go quickly. Chu Boyan is my apprentice, and I regard it as a nephew, but now I am confused by her, and I have spent all my upbringing. Although Lianshan is my servant, he is loyal, like his own brother, and it is because of her that he died tragically. You say, can I not hate her? I wish she had been slashed with a thousand cuts. ”

Wu Qianping also knew that he was too stingy, so he leaned over with a smile: "It's too cold at night, why don't we go to the bed?" ”

He hugged Mingyi's waist and half-dragged him to the couch, but as soon as he hugged him, Mingyi's temper was released, and it was worth sighing, blaming himself for being dizzy.
