Lu Yu couldn't help laughing when he saw the old man's face flushed from holding back his cough, and then walked back to his workshop with a cigar, and didn't forget to say when he entered the door: "Those white irons should be faster." ”

The old man smiled bitterly.

Looking at the cigar that had just burned in his hand, he checked it with his divine sense again and found that this thing was ...... It's really harmful, there are dozens of ingredients in it that are harmful to the body, and there are dozens of ingredients, although they are not very harmful, but they are not a good thing.

If you talk about the benefits...... Not at all.

Although these disadvantages can be excreted from the body in an instant for cultivators, they ...... It's not necessary, it's very hard to plant them, and it seems to be very elaborate to make, and it's quite a delay when you suck it, and there are only disadvantages and no benefits, so ...... What do you want it for?

Thinking about it, the old man remembered that his own prince always likes to do some strange things, such as asking for white iron this time, such as building such a castle before, such as threatening to expand the capital by a hundred times......

Hey, I'm so old, I originally planned to wait for the world to come back, so that I can be honorably old, and go back to enjoy a few years of Qingfu, but I didn't expect it...... But it's going to be even more tiring. Hey, what are you trying to do?

Thinking about it, he was stunned for a moment, exhaled a puff of white smoke, and then frowned: "Huh, if you smoke again, you don't seem to feel so choked...... Uh......"

Then the old man was in a cold sweat.

Myself...... Why...... Inadvertently, I lifted it up, stuffed it into my mouth, and then sucked it a few times?

Why?!

Could it be that there is still some magic in this thing?

Thinking about it...... The old man took another sip, and then said indifferently: "Forget it, anyway, that little bit of harm can be discharged in an instant......

As he spoke, the old man smoked the cigar in his hand and walked outside, ready to urge the men to hurry up and do the white iron business.

Of course, we have to find some ingenious women to get these things for the world.

Thinking about it, he walked out of the fortress and prepared to go to the outside of the palace to find someone.

I just walked to the door, but I saw the old man Jiujiu coming over, obviously to enter the palace, and met him head-on, the old minister Jiujiu was about to say hello, but he saw the thing in the old man's hand, and saw that he was swallowing clouds and spitting fog, so he asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "You still don't know it, it's harmful to your body." ”

After speaking, he walked away, leaving the old minister with a question mark on his head.

"This old thing, why is he laughing so thief?"

After thinking about it for a while, he didn't understand it, so he didn't want to, he was in a hurry to see Lu Yu now.

In fact, it is not a big deal for Lao Chen Jiujiu to come to Lu Yu this time, but it is not too small. finally found him in Lu Yu's workshop, and waited for Lu Yu for a long time before he came out.

Then Lao Chen Jiujiu saw the cigar in Lu Yu's hand, as well as the slightly unpleasant taste that came out of his mouth.

"Huh, why is Master Hou also sucking this kind of thing? What the hell is this?"

Lao Chen Jiujiu couldn't help but ask curiously.

Lu Yu waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's harmful." By the way, what are you looking for me?"

"Oh!" Lao Chen Jiujiu remembered the purpose of his trip, and hurriedly said: "Although the expansion of the capital has been decided, and the officials are also contributing, but now after all, the number of people is a little small, and the craftsmen are insufficient, and according to the drawings...... Some places need to be demolished, this ......"

Lu Yu stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing, and then said, "Let's not talk about the reason first, let's talk about the result." ”

"There's no money. ”

Lao Chen Jiujiu is crisp and neat.

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "This ...... Isn't our Vaseline selling so well?"

"Vaseline?"

"Oh, it's the phoenix balm. ”

"Oh oh, it's true that it makes a lot of money for our treasury, but ...... Build this fortress...... The money of the Hua family caravan has been used, and the officials have also accumulated a long backlog of money, and the treasury was relatively full before, so if it is not issued...... It will damage the prestige of the Hou Ye. ”

Lu Yu rolled his eyes and said, "What do you mean to damage my prestige? Seeing that the treasury is rich, those officials still don't come to you to ask for money? I'm afraid you can't stand it, right?"

Lao Chen Jiujiu smiled bitterly: "Within one day, more than 30 people came to visit...... I really can't stand it. ”

Lu Yu nodded and said, "This can be done immediately, after all, it's not bad for hungry soldiers." But money is a problem...... That's a problem indeed. ”

Lao Chen Jiujiu said: "Now the barbarians have heard that the treasury is full, and the relationship between the marquis and the barbarians is ...... There is also a flower caravan......"

"No," Lu Yu understood what Lao Chen Jiujiu meant, so he waved his hand and said: "The problem of money will wait for a while, after a while, everything will be fine, since the project is a little stranded now...... In this way, the prisoners in prison should first be counted and fed every day, and all of them should be sent to the construction site, and they could be punished by work, and the prisoners who worked for ten years would be released as long as they had worked for five years, and they should be kept account, and they should be paid at the lowest price, and they should be paid when they are released from prison. Oh, and also, the death row inmates should also be accommodating, and they will be released after fifteen years of hard work. ”

The old minister was startled, and hurriedly said: "Master Hou, I'm afraid this is...... After all, those are prisoners......

Lu Yu blinked, and then smiled: "What do you think is the purpose of putting people in prison?"

Lao Chen Jiujiu said: "One is to let them not continue to be the party to the disaster, and the other is to let them quietly introspect and reform themselves." ”

"Well, it makes sense," In the past, Lu Yu usually encountered other people's opinions with him, and he would definitely correct them as soon as possible, but now it is different, he will first affirm the correctness of the other party, and then make corrections or supplements.

"Well, though, things are changing. It is a good thing not to let them be the troublemaker, but they also have to occupy the prison cell, occupy the jailers, and eat and drink for nothing, although the food is not good, but after all, it is a kind of expense, rather than this, it is better to let them work, this time, they can still not be the party to the trouble, and second, they can let them benefit the party! Of course, this needs to strengthen supervision, that is, to recruit more jailers, and their enthusiasm for work is much better than that of ordinary craftsmen because of the threat of whips and swords. Right?"

Lao Chen Jiujiu nodded and said, "It does make sense, but it's ......"

Lu Yu didn't wait for him to finish speaking before continuing: "As for reforming, I think it's okay, a person who is locked up in one place will go crazy after being locked up for a long time, can he be reformed? Yes, but there may not be many." What do you think can be done to elevate people and sublimate their spiritual realm?"
