The frost and dew are freezing, and every day is as cold as a day, and the progress of building Penglai Immortal Pavilion on the islands of Gushui is getting slower and slower. Yang Zhen stood on a high place with his hands in his hands, thinking about the conversation with Ji Erlan that day, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Indeed, it was not that he was unable to deal with the actions of the Yan family behind his back.

Lei Ze looked at his face, bowed down and asked, "Does the prince have any orders?" ”

"The heads of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Households, as well as the small leaders of carpenters, stonemasons, and other craftsmen who work together."

Razor agreed to go down, and a guard went to call for someone. He asked: "Lord Wang, the little leaders of these craftsmen are the most treacherous, and the promises made in front are all over the place, and when you turn around, you can find out countless reasons, and you still get paid, but you don't do much work." Three meals a day, so many people, the cost is also amazing. It's better to catch a criminal and make an example of the monkey. ”

Yang Zhen sneered: "I'm afraid the Yan family is waiting for this king to be like this." When the time comes, they only need to ask the craftsmen to strike collectively, and the people will be angry, and the imperial history will also participate in the king's indiscriminate killing of the people, and how will it end when the time comes. I'm afraid that only by marrying Yan Lingtian can they let them stop. ”

Lei Ze said bitterly: "Could it be that the prince called them here not to bluff them?" But if this continues, the emperor will also blame the prince for dereliction of duty. ”

Yang Zhen didn't speak, raised his eyes and looked not far away, and saw more than a dozen directors coming over here with dozens of small stewards of all kinds. Lei Ze sighed in his heart. When everyone got closer, they knew that this was the unspeakable prince of the dynasty, and they knelt down to say hello.

Yang Zhen looked at a few principals, and didn't let them get up, and said leisurely: "This king is free today, come and hear how you are doing in the past few days." Let's start with you. ”

Yang Wei casually pointed to a middle-aged principal who was full of darts and meat, and when the principal saw that he was named, he looked at others from all sides, and hurriedly replied with a smile to Yang Zhan: "If you go back to the prince, this errand will be handed over to the villain, and you will definitely be satisfied with the beautiful performance." If that's the progress...... It's a little slower, but for various reasons in a lot of ......"

"It's okay, you can say it."

The fat chief was respectful, his tone was sincere, and he said: "Back to the prince's words, the villain's subordinates are in charge of the work of carving wooden beams in the main hall, and there are five stewards under him, and there are more than 100 craftsmen under each steward. We will do as much as they pay, and we will never slack off! ”

He swore an oath and was extremely sincere, and if others didn't know about it, I'm afraid they would have to believe it for eight points. Yang Zhen looked at him and asked slowly, "So, is it the carpenter who is delaying your progress?" ”

The fat chief didn't know how to answer this offending word for a while, but there was already a shrewd-looking director on the side who said with a sad face: "Back to the prince's words, the villain Li Yu is in charge of the carpenter." The villain also had a hard time about this, and it was slower than usual to transport the timber to the island by boat. When the wood is on the island, it has to be dried, sanded, cut and other treatments, and the island is surrounded by water, which is already wet and cold, and these processes have become much slower. So...... There's nothing the villain can do ......."

Yang Wei asked from the carpenter to the stonemason, and then to the plasterer, and everyone said that since they had taken the court's money, they never dared to be lazy and lazy.

Yang Zhen knew that they had various reasons, and after hearing this, he did not get angry, but stood up and paced back and forth in front of everyone a few times, his tone was still calm and gentle: "In this case, this king will change this rule today." Otherwise, for the sake of all kinds of reasons for you, Penglai Immortal Pavilion can't be built in one day, do you still have to provide for those idlers? ”

Everyone looked at each other, not daring to speak indiscriminately, and they all craned their necks to listen to him.

"All the work assigned by the Ministry of Labor corresponds to a certain number of people, if there is not so much work, why prepare so many people? What's more, the money allocated by the household department is naturally distributed only after the work has been completed, and if the assigned work is not completed, how can they be allowed to eat in vain? ”

As soon as the people heard this, some of them immediately distinguished: "Lord, you must not, if these people are cut off by hand, they will have to go around again to seek work, and when the time comes, where can these people be recalled at once?" ”

"Hmph, so from now on, this king has other rules." Yang Zheng squinted his eyes coldly and said: "All processes must be distributed to individuals, that is to say, how many stewards under each steward, how many craftsmen under each steward, and how many craftsmen are divided into several rounds, how much work each round of craftsmen do every day, and the amount of money and grain received must be recorded one by one. ”

"Huh? This ......"

The chiefs and stewards glanced at each other, and although they were a little sad, they still seemed to be a little unimpressed, as if this method would not work at all, and that they would be restored in a few days.

Yang Zhen looked at their appearance, disagreed, and continued: "When recruiting people before, everyone reported how many processes they could complete in a day. Therefore, the household department also distributes money and food according to this standard. The king understands your difficulties, and gives you another chance. From today onwards, those who can complete the reporting process will be given money and food as usual. Those who complete half of the money can only receive half of the money. If even half of it is not completed, the person will be laid off immediately, and he will not be reused for life! ”

There were more than 100 people in front of him, and when he heard this, he immediately exploded, and the guards standing around him pulled out the long knife on his waist with a 'swish', and the bright knife light shook on his face, and everyone immediately held back the sound of discussion in their mouths. looked at the king in front of him in fear.

Yang Zheng's gaze was colder than the hoarfrost crawling on the window lattice: "Since this king has been ordered to supervise the matter of Penglai Immortal Pavilion, he can't be appeased. All processes, five days a check, ten days a check, if the amount of completion and the report does not match, the person responsible for the matter immediately dismissed the investigation, to the crime of deception! ”

All the stewards, especially the person in charge, turned pale and could not even speak. The meaning of the king is very clear, if the craftsman does not do a good job, the leader above will be implicated. If the leader is negligent, the steward above will also suffer, and if the steward is negligent, the steward will not be able to escape......

Yang Zhen motioned for Lei Ze to take out a stack of papers, which was the contract signed when everyone was recruited to the island at the beginning. "All the masters, stewards, etc., go back and assign the turns of the craftsmen. Before the sun goes down today, give the list to the king. ”

Everyone in the belt was full of sadness, and they went back one after another, Lei Ze stood beside Yang Zhen and said with a smile: "This time, look at how they pass the buck to each other." ”

Yang Zhen ridiculed: "When the Ministry of Industry comes out of the basket, the Ministry of Industry will block it, and if the household department has a fork, the household department will go to the circle." The king is only in charge of this matter, neither man nor money is in the king's hand. Since the Yan family likes to grasp this matter so much, let them be busy. ”

Lei Ze's smile is called a treacherous, it has a bit of Ji Erlan's charm, he secretly applauded, the prince should have been like this a long time ago, dedicated to the court, for the community, but in the end, it was difficult to protect himself?

Yang Zhen didn't have much joy: "This method can only force the Yan family to be urgent for a while, Penglai Immortal Pavilion can't be completed overnight, and the dispatch everywhere will also tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, sooner or later there will be chaos." It's just a respite. ”

Lei Ze's excitement gradually fell back into his stomach, and he said, "At least, the prince figured it out." ”

Yang Zhen glanced at him and said, "You are willing to take Ji Erlan's words to heart." ”

Lei Ze said in a panic: "Lei Ze is the prince's person, naturally he thinks about the prince everywhere, Miss Ji's suggestion is beneficial to the prince, how can Lei Ze not remember it." ”

Yang Wei was silent, still standing on a high place and watching the principals and stewards jump and be busy. He thought of what Ji Erlan said, 'There is always a little warmth that you can't give up, even if it's just a little'. That's right, even if he is alone now, there are still things he can't let go.

Guogong Mansion, Song Yaoxian had a heavy black green under her eyes, and sat for most of the day with the embroidery shed in her hand, and the half of the begonia was still half a begonia.

Yun'er couldn't help but persuade: "Girl, in fact, there is nothing wrong with entering the palace, isn't the eldest girl also going to enter the palace?" Keep you two sisters in company, so that you will not be oppressed. It's good to be the princess, but his temperament is so cold, if this good doesn't fall on the girl's head, even if he becomes the princess of Du, what can he do? ”

"Yun'er, you don't understand, you haven't loved anyone, so naturally you don't understand my heart." Song Yaoxian's eyes were red and swollen, her plain white face was bloodless, and she was full of fear of the future: "Even if he doesn't have me in his heart, I'm willing." As long as you can be by his side, even if you look at it from a distance, as long as you can watch it, it's fine. ”

Yuna couldn't understand why her desperation came from and how she could get rid of it. puzzled: "Could it be that the girl's life only wants to watch the figure of a person live?" Willing to get nothing at all? Even if the prince really holds others in the palm of his hand in the future, the girl doesn't mind, as long as she can look at the prince, will she be content? ”

Song Yaoxian smiled desolately: "As long as you can marry him, even if you can't get married when you are born, you will be connected after death." No matter how much he pampers others, I am different from others. Only I am his wife, and I can sleep with him! ”

Yun'er was speechless by what she said, and was silent for a long time before she persuaded again: "However, the girl must enter the palace now, and she can't think about anything in the future." In case the emperor knows, it will be a big disaster! ”

"Why is this happening...... I met him a few days ago, and I'll be his wife soon...... Why did everything change in a blink of an eye......" Song Yaoxian couldn't control the overflowing tears, those tears wet the begonia flowers that were half-opened, and the color became deep and shallow. "I can't become the princess of Du no matter what...... Yuna, tell me why? ”
