Now that the matter is settled, it is natural to have a good lunch.

Wang Fugui is worthy of being a natural cook, and after getting the secret recipe of MSG and ingredients from himself, the meals he made made Zhu Youzhen drool.

This is also the reason why he has to go back to Ruyi Building to eat at noon every day.

The glazed haze dissipated, and he accompanied Zhu Youzhen to eat.

A plate of small fried meat, because of the addition of chili peppers, the rice in Zhu Youzhen's bowl entered his stomach in a few bites, and then he stretched out his hand to let Liuli serve rice.

His Royal Highness has been in office for a long time, and he is inevitably used to being served.

"Your Highness devours rice with a wolf, not at all like other nobles, who chew and swallow slowly with rice." Ruri said with a smile.

Zhu Youzhen filled his stomach and began to concentrate on dealing with the braised fish in front of him, and when he heard Liuli say this, he spit out the fish bones.

"I have never regarded myself as a nobleman, my Emperor Taizu is a little novice begging for food, and later when I became an emperor, I like to eat a pancake and drink a bowl of beef soup, a pot of cabbage stewed tofu is fragrant, I think it is good. What kind of delicacies from the mountains and seas, the popularity of the nobles, I am willing to buy it for a thousand dollars, the master has this temperament, and he doesn't pretend. ”

Liuli laughed even louder when she heard this, "Gongzi is the most honest person she has ever met as a concubine." ”

"It's just that you are a lover in the eyes, and if you are a woman in the future, you will only say that I am a Puxin man." Zhu Youzhen said with a smile.

"What is Puxin Man?" Liuli intimately poured a cup of tea for Zhu Youzhen.

"Ordinary and confident man." Zhu Youzhen explained.

Liuli shook her head when she heard this, and looked at Zhu Youzhen with blazing eyes, "In the eyes of the concubine, Gongzi is a first-class strange man in the world. ”

"Ahem."

Zhu Youzhen almost squirted out the tea in his mouth, looked at Liuli's calm and firm gaze, wiped his mouth and fled.

Liuli looked at his back, and the smile on her face lingered for a long time.

Women are as fierce as tigers, and Zhu Youzhen now has a deep understanding of this sentence.

He jumped on the red war horse and galloped towards Ping'an Fang accompanied by Wu Sangui.

Ping An Fang is now a big construction site, and the men, women and children of the entire Ping An Fang have participated in the repair of the road.

It only took one morning, and all the bricks and stones of the original workshop were lifted, and when Zhu Youjian arrived, he saw that someone had begun to level the land and dig ditches.

Zhang Shize went back and forth on the construction site with his hands behind his back to show favoritism, and when he encountered problems, he would point them out and let the craftsmen rework, which was very responsible.

If it were Chang Yanling's impatient temperament, I am afraid that he would have been scolding people jumping up and down a long time ago.

Zhu Youzhen jumped off the horse, the red war horse had not yet run to the end, and he lost his temper in circles, Zhu Youzhen had to stroke the horse's back for a while before handing the reins to Wu Sangui.

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen had arrived, Zhang Shize, Liu Dajiang, and Li Chang all quickly greeted him, and led the leaders to inspect the countryside.

Zhang Shize reported the situation of the construction site one by one, and there was no problem for the big guys to work, but some residents would quietly steal some sand and gravel bricks to go home and repair the wall and ground.

In Zhang Shize's eyes, their noble children nested in this broken place to build a workshop, and the cheapest ones were only the people of Ping'an Fang, but they also stole materials, which was really disgraceful.

Zhang Shize has a good temperament, but he is also a little angry.

Zhu Youzhen patted him on the shoulder and looked at the lieutenant chief who lowered his head on the side, "You can talk about this matter, I won't ask about the materials that have been stolen, but whoever dares to do it again next, don't blame me for being polite." ”

The lieutenant hurriedly answered, and went to find the bastards who stole the materials.

Master Liu wiped the sweat from his face, bowed his body and said: "Your Highness, the kung fu of this culvert is not small, the villain has already measured it, but the cost is not a small amount." ”

Zhu Youzhen knew that this was no less than a project of Fangdao, and the manpower and material resources would not be less, but if it could be exchanged for a clean and safe workshop, it would be worth it.

He still remembered that one of the reasons why Daming was buried in the grave decades later was the plague.

The dirty and rotten seepage pit is the best breeding ground for the plague, and Zhu Youzhen plans to bury it with mud and cover it with a toilet to completely eliminate this hidden danger of the plague.

took out three tickets totaling 3,000 taels from his arms and handed them to Zhang Shize.

Master Liu knew that Zhu Youzhen had made up his mind and began to let his craftsmen lead people to dig trenches.

As long as there are culverts on both sides of the square road of Ping'an Fang, domestic sewage can flow into the small ditch channel outside the square through the culvert.

"Master Liu, your name is well-known in the entire Jingshi, and it should not be difficult for you to dredge the well of Ping'an Fang."

Liu Dajiang was specially transferred from the Ministry of Industry by the cheap brother, and Zhu Youzhen would of course try to make use of it as much as possible, trying to squeeze out every bit of his use value.

And Master Liu was also used to being an old scalper, so he nodded without complaint and took a new errand.

But when Zhu Youzhen threw a money bag into his hand, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of Master Liu Gujing Wubo.

When he opened it and saw the silver inside, he had been a craftsman for so many years, and when he weighed it, he knew that there were about fifty taels of silver.

"Your Highness, you are ......"

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand indifferently and said, "You can take it and share it with your craftsmen." ”

"The little ones are used in the Ministry of Works, and they still have a monthly salary, and His Royal Highness doesn't have to pay the little ones anymore." Liu Dajiang felt that the silver was a little hot and wanted to push it, but he was reluctant.

Zhu Youzhen sneered: "The officials of the Ministry of Industry often owe money. You are a group of craftsmen who sell labor, and you have no official position and no background, how can you get a good fortune? ”

Liu Dajiang was silent, except for the fact that they could receive some rice and flour every month, most of them were owed by the imperial court.

This is also the reason why he is reluctant to give up.

"Take it, you deserve it for your work."

Master Liu swallowed his saliva, "But this is too much, more than half a month's salary, fifty taels of silver per person." ”

"Two taels of silver is too much, after repairing the culvert and the road, there is more silver waiting for you to earn."

"Your Highness still needs to use the villain?"

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said, "I asked you to build a brewing workshop, help me take a look at Ping'an Workshop these days, there is a suitable place." ”

Master Liu hurriedly said: "The small one must choose a perfect place for His Highness." ”

Since there is still a place to use it, the peace of mind that this money will be taken.

When Master Liu took the silver back and told it to the craftsmen, they all cheered excitedly.

These craftsmen are supported by the Ministry of Works, and they are tired and tired every day, but they can only receive some rice and noodles every month, and they can't even get a household registration. In the half-month construction period of Ping'an Fang, you can receive more than two taels of silver, plus food and housing, together with three taels per month.

As long as you catch up with the first half of the year safely, you can let the mother-in-law and children in the family eat, wear clothes, and have a good life.

The craftsmen were grateful, and they worked more energetically one by one.
