Ye Lan'er took the silver in his hand from the soldier's hand, and silently counted the points, no more, no less, just two hundred taels.

Two hundred taels, no matter what, it is enough for Ye Lan'er and the three of them to spend a while.

She saw that Gu Qingchen was looking at the rotating stone mill intently, and she didn't look at Yu Feiyuan from beginning to end, and Jade Feiyuan was looking at him in a daze with tears in her eyes at this time.

Ye Lan'er sighed, stuffed the silver into Tian'er's hand, and leaned over to Gu Qingchen's side like a dog.

"Lord Tuoba, I don't know what you want to do when you bought my river mill?"

Gu Qingchen straightened up and glanced at Ye Lan'er with slanted eyes: "What do you say?" Naturally, it is for the benefit of the people and for the emperor's worries. ”

"I don't know, what does Taifu want to do to benefit the people?"

Gu Qingchen snorted: "You are a person...... It's not good, but it's a bit of a trick to design such a labor-saving mill. I can allocate the money from the government, promote the mill, and build ten or twenty of them on the Lanyue River, so that the people of my Xiyi Kingdom will not save a lot of effort? ”

Ye Lan'er scratched her head: "But Taifu, you have also seen that people are not interested in my mill, and they would rather grind at home than come." ”

"That's because you are greedy for profit, and you charge two cents for a load of grain, and you are extremely black-hearted."

Ye Lan'er didn't like to hear this: "One stone is only two pennies, this is called a black heart?" If you ask Taifu to say this, everyone who does business in the world should die. Then how much do you plan to charge for this mill to be run by Taifu? ”

"Don't take a penny."

Ye Lan'er smiled: "Don't take a penny? Do you know how much it costs to build this mill? Don't take a penny? Fill the gap with Taifu and your money? ”

Gu Qingchen also smiled: "Then you don't have to worry about it." ”

Ye Lan'er was a little embarrassed, but in order to get closer, she still continued to talk with a shy face: "Lord Taifu is dedicated to the country, which is really a blessing for all the people!" We are happy to have an official like you! Master Taifu, to be honest, in addition to this mill, there are many small ideas that can benefit the people and make people's lives more convenient, I wonder if Taifu is interested? ”

Gu Qingchen's head tilted: "Really? ”

"It's more real than pearls."

"Tell me about it."

Ye Lan'er thought about it, put on a posture of pointing at the country behind the back of her little hand, and said: "As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, build roads first." Convenient transportation has a great contribution to the development of the economy. According to my observation, there are not many families with carriages in this Xiyi King City, and there are very few families with wheelbarrows. This fully shows that in this area, the traffic is really inconvenient. When everyone transports food items, they almost have to carry them on their shoulders.

That's why the inhabitants of the city don't want to come to my mill.

I believe that in order to revitalize the economy, it is necessary to vigorously develop transportation, build roads, and build many smooth and open roads. It is convenient for the people and also gives them the opportunity to develop. ”

Gu Qingchen's face showed contempt: "That's it? I had already figured out a plan to involve the residents of the city and the surrounding villages in building the road. Each household must send someone to pay for the labor on a daily basis, and after reaching the standard, they will use the mill for free for ten years.

This advice you just gave me is nothing new. ”

Ye Lan'er admired it tightly in her heart, it turned out that this Gu Qingchen not only thought of building roads, but also thought of ways to let the people participate in road construction and get benefits. The pure white robe in front of him looked like a dusty man from the Taoist family, and he was really a shrewd man.

Ye Lan'er knew that if she didn't show some real skills, she would definitely not be able to enter his eyes, so she leaned into Gu Qingchen's ear: "Gu Gongzi, I will*." The one you were trying to do, isn't that it? ”

Gu Qingchen was shocked, he looked at Ye Lan'er with wide eyes, and couldn't believe that a teenage girl would be persistent*.

You must know that there is no * in this era, Gu Qingchen accidentally discovered that some ingredients gathered together would cause an explosion, which would produce a lot of power, so he began to devote himself to research.

He heard Ye Lan'er call this kind of thing "*", and he thought it was very appropriate.

"You didn't lie to me?"

Ye Lan'er's face was solemn: "Of course not!" If the Taifu doesn't believe it, follow the little one to the house, and the little one will be made on the spot! ”

Ye Lan'er's serious profession in her previous life was a journalist, and one of the reports was that the owner of a small coal kiln used inferior illegal mining to open a mine, resulting in the tragic death of 45 miners.

For this reason, Ye Laner has a certain understanding of *.

But it's not that simple, those raw materials are all flammable and explosive, and if you don't do it, you will blow it up, which is really dangerous, otherwise the law can't explicitly prohibit it.

But now in order to attract Gu Qingchen's attention, she can't care about that much.

Sure enough, Gu Qingchen patted his hand: "Okay!" Go now! ”

Ye Lan'er looked at him with an excited look on his face and shook his head: "Lord Tuoba, you brought so many soldiers to the cold house, how do you let the neighbors think of me." Besides, what I'm going to show you is the biggest secret in the world, and you can't make a big deal of it. The best, God knows, you know and I know. ”

Gu Qingchen nodded: "Tonight!" You show the practice. On another day, find an open realm, let's give it a try, how about it? ”

Ye Lan'er nodded and praised: "Lord Mop is really thoughtful. Deal! ”

Gu Qingchen was in a good mood and ordered someone to take care of this mill, and sent some people to the princess's mansion to bring the people in the back kitchen of the mansion together with the stored grain to try this automatic stone mill.

Ye Lan'er said to Yu Feiyuan with a wink, and walked home with Tian'er.

Yu Feiyuan pulled Ye Lan'er's sleeve: "Lan'er, what did you just say to your cousin, I heard, he is coming to our house tonight?" ”

Ye Lan'er replied, "Sister, I just threw a small bait for Brother Gu. Tonight, he'll come quietly alone, and we'll kidnap him and interrogate him to see if he's pretending to be stupid or if he's really having amnesia. ”

Yu Feiyuan lowered her eyelids and walked for a while before saying, "Lan'er, I still don't want it." ”

"What's not to do?"

Yu Feikite exhaled softly: "Seeing my cousin still living in this world is enough for me. For the rest, I still don't want it. I don't want to ask him why he didn't know me, I don't want to ask why he became the imperial princess, and I don't want to ask why he secretly became a husband and wife with the eldest princess.

In fact, the fate between us was broken five years ago. Now, knowing that everything is fine with him, what more could I ask for? ”

Ye Lan'er was very sad when she heard Yu Feiyuan say this.

"Sister, what have you been through so hard for? first ran away from home for him, then for him to enter the Jade Girl Sect to learn martial arts, and then assassinated Murong Ke for him...... Now I have come to Xiyi after a lot of hardships...... Sister, now it's hard to find someone, don't ask clearly, you are willing, I am not!

If he really has amnesia, let him go. But if he's pretending, or if there's something going on, we have to know! ”

Yu Feiyuan still shook her head: "Lan'er, I don't want to ......"

Ye Lan'er held her hand: "Sister! Don't run away! ”

In the end, under Ye Lan'er's strong insistence and Tian'er's vote by a show of hands, Yu Feikite still nodded. It's just that she feels that the night that covers the sky is dark very early, and the depth is very fast.

Gu Qingchen didn't know him, and even being with other women really gave Yu Feiyuan a big impact. But deep down, she actually has some small luck. Because if Gu Qingchen was really waiting for him, he would be alone. In that case, Jade Flying Kite didn't know how to face him.

The time soon came.

According to the direction given by Ye Lan'er, Gu Qingchen found the small courtyard they bought without much effort.

As soon as he knocked lightly, the door opened quickly, and a large black cloth bag was unmistakably covered his head.

Gu Qingchen didn't even have time to hum, he was knocked on the back of the head and knocked unconscious and dragged in.

Ye Lan'er dragged him into the main hall, and tied him to a Taishi chair. Seeing that Gu Qingchen hadn't woken up for a long time, he shouted a big sip of tea and made a shower to spray him on his face.

Gu Qingchen opened his eyes, looked around, and found his situation, wanting to cry without tears.

"You! I'm a court master! How dare you do this to me! Gu Qingchen used a shelf to scare people.

However, Ye Lan'er didn't care at all: "My sister and I went to the princess's mansion half a month ago to assassinate, did you forget?" Dare to come alone tonight, the courage is not small, Gu Qingchen? ”

Gu Qingchen closed his eyes regretfully: "Blame me for believing your lie for a while...... Will you be able to do it*? ”

Ye Lan'er didn't expect it to be this time, he was still thinking about it in his heart*.

"What are you going to do*? To wage war or to dominate the world? I tell you, no way! ”

Gu Qingchen snorted disdainfully: "What I hate most is fighting." I want to *, for the sake of opening up mountains and roads, and dredging rivers. There are so many places where you need to use *, why do you only think of war? ”

Ye Lan'er rolled her eyes: "You can do whatever you want?" Believe it or not, King Xiyi knew that you had such a good thing, and he was the first to order Gongsun He to take it to attack Great Xia? Pig brain, are you? ”

Gu Qingchen still insisted: "Since I want to use it, I will naturally use it in the right way, and I will never give people with ulterior motives a chance to take advantage of it, you can rest assured!" ”

"Reassured? A stinky man who even left his childhood sweetheart cousin and his lifelong fiancée behind, why should I rest assured of you?! ”

Gu Qingchen heard Ye Lan'er's central idea of kidnapping him, he looked at Ye Lan'er's face that was made into a boy, and asked with disgust: "You are my cousin?" I have a marriage contract with you? When?
