"The people of the Duke of Eguo, come to visit me?" Liu Ji, who was at work, frowned suspiciously when he heard the news from home.

Although people of these identities will definitely do everything in terms of interpersonal communication.

Sometimes, however, an inexplicable visit can mean trouble.

Liu Ji and Chang Yuchun have no special friendship.

If it's a New Year's holiday, or if there is something special at home, it's relatively normal to give a gift.

But the people of the relatives come to visit directly, which is a bit too presumptuous.

Although there are some doubts, the identity of the Duke of E is there.

In any case, it is impossible for Liu Ji to directly avoid it.

"Treat me well first, and I'll talk about it when I get back."

After that, Liu Ji put this matter behind him.

Now he really can't care about these things.

There are countless things to be busy with every day, and a Guogong's relatives come to visit, this kind of thing is really a small thing for Liu Ji now.

At present, Yanjing City is a very important large-scale project alone, and there are twenty-seven in addition to the imperial palace.

There are almost thousands of other projects.

More than 70,000 workers have been involved in these projects alone.

Commanding so many people is definitely not an easy task.

Even with Liu Ji's talent, he works hard every day to maintain the status quo.

That's it, because Zhu Han's previous foundation was good enough, which saved Liu Ji a lot of things.

When Liu Ji first came to Yanjing, he was tossed by the people of the six departments on Yanjing's side.

Now, almost half of the six Shangshu here have been changed, and the rest are all teachers who can't be honest, and the work he has to do has been lightened a lot.

If it weren't for the fact that it was to deal with these entangled local interests, a person like Liu Ji, who was full of governance ability, would have been able to cope with it, no matter how hard he worked.

Obviously, the work he is dealing with now is only a lot more than before.

But Liu Ji is not like before, he can't sleep for even two hours a day.

In these jobs, he has to feel no fatigue, and even the more he works, the more energetic he becomes.

He really liked the feeling now.

Liu Ji had been secretly grateful to Zhu Han in his heart more than once.

If it weren't for His Royal Highness the King of England giving him this opportunity, Liu Ji wouldn't know that it would be so comfortable to be able to govern the place like an arm.

The feeling of being in control of everything is really like indulging in a dream.

In particular, his nominal leader, Liu Song, is still a guy who is outrageous.

Even if there are times when Liu Song does not agree with his approach, as long as Liu Ji can prove that these practices are beneficial to the current Yanjing and the people here.

No matter how much Liu Song disagrees, he will pinch his nose and admit it.

Moreover, this guy is not right about things.

Even if Liu Ji pointed at his nose and scolded people today, as long as what he said made sense, Liu Song would never hold a grudge.

To be honest, Liu Ji used to dislike people like Liu Song very much.

In his opinion, it is simply strange that such an old-fashioned person can become an official in the court.

Now that he is familiar with it, Liu Ji has become very fond of people like Liu Song.

Because it's so reassuring to work with this kind of person.

At any time, you can rest assured that the back side is opposite, without worrying that the other party will suddenly stab you in the back because of interests.

It can be said that Liu Ji, this guy, is completely determined by the ass.

After all, after being familiar with Liu Song's life, with Liu Ji's wrist, many things have become very convenient to deal with.

Now he is the real controller of Yanjing.

And Liu Ji's cleverness is that he does things in moderation.

If someone else was in Liu Ji's position, maybe he would have already floated.

Let your own temperament come and do whatever you want.

But Liu Ji didn't, even if he could influence Liu Song's decision, in many important matters, Liu Ji would never be arbitrary, but would discuss with Liu Song.

Even anyone with a little brain knows that he is now the one who is really in charge of Yanjing.

But whether on the surface or on some private occasions, Liu Ji has never been disrespectful to Liu Song.

There was not even a verbal conflict.

Except, of course, for government affairs.

This is where Liu Ji is shrewd, a little bit of fame and face, where is the real power important.

Whether it is Zhu Han or Zhu Yuanzhang, of course, it is impossible not to know this.

However, they never took the initiative to say anything.

There was no response, and that was the clearest answer.

It shows that he has not crossed the bottom line in the hearts of Zhu Han and Lao Zhu.

"Rights ......," Liu Ji sighed secretly in his heart.

When he was an official on Ying Tian's side before, Liu Ji could be said to be not very obsessed with the feeling of power.

If the situation is special, he can give up his rights in the hands of Ying Tianfu almost without any burden.

But in Yanjing......

Liu Ji suddenly found that he was not so easy to let go.

Seeing that under his own governance, the people of Yanjing are living better and better.

In the words of His Royal Highness in English, the common people's ...... Purchasing power.

Yes, that's the word.

The purchasing power of the people of Yanjing is getting stronger and stronger.

The satisfaction in Liu Ji's heart is simply incomprehensible.

The sweetness of this kind of right is really enjoyed by Liu Ji for the first time.

I can't help myself at all.

When people are immersed in something, time flies.

Unconsciously, Jin Wuxi Shen Jade Rabbit rose eastward.

The sky has gradually darkened.

Until this time, Liu Ji stood up with some reluctance and moved his muscles and bones a little.

Some people may not understand, can work still be so addicted?

It's just pretending, right?

However, for people who have played simulation management games in later generations, they should be able to understand Liu Ji's current mood.

Seeing with your own eyes is the satisfaction of building a barren land into a prosperous one, but nothing can replace it.

It's just that what Liu Ji didn't know was that at this time in his mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was getting deeper and heavier: "Hasn't your master come back yet?"

The butler, who had been guarding the door, felt that his heartbeat had missed half a beat just by hearing this voice.

Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was not very harsh, but he had a feeling of staying next to the fierce beast.

Obviously, on this day, he didn't slack off at all.

Meals and arrangements were the best. Anything they need, it's delivered as soon as possible.

But inexplicably, this guest's mood seems to be getting worse and worse.

"Mr. Chang, please don't be impatient." The housekeeper respectfully explained: "My lord now has to manage the affairs of the entire Yanjing City."

"So, I worked late almost every day. Looking at the sky, our master should be on duty now, and he should be back soon. ”

"The news of your arrival, the villain has already sent someone to inform the master. When our lord returns, he will definitely ...... as soon as possible See sir's. ”

The housekeeper originally wanted to say that he was summoned, but when the words were spoken, his heart inexplicably missed two beats.

Although the butler was not sure whether this feeling was his own delusion.

However, he felt that it was better to be polite in the face of this Mr. Chang.

So I changed my tune.

"Humph!"

In response to the housekeeper, only Zhu Yuanzhang snorted contemptuously.

The housekeeper didn't think Zhu Yuanzhang was rude, but he was slightly relieved in his heart.

Even he himself didn't know why.

Half an hour later, Liu Ji finally returned to his mansion.

After a day of work, Liu Ji was also hungry with his chest sticking to his back.

Hurriedly called someone: "Tell me to go down and prepare dinner immediately, my lord, I am dying of hunger."

There is no woman in the family, it's not good at all, you have to worry about everything.

This time I came to Yanjing, and none of Liu Ji's family members came.

The reason why they stayed in Yingtianfu was also a means for Liu Ji to reassure Lao Zhu.

He was originally a loyal = important minister of the imperial court, and he went to Yanjing, the capital of Mengyuan, plus they still held a lot of silver in their hands.

Liu Jike is worried that once there are any rumors, he may not even have a chance to explain.

The meaning of the family staying in Yingtian is self-evident.

In normal times, the housekeeper will arrange these in advance.

But today, the housekeeper has been by Lao Zhu's side, and he has no time to do this.

When the kitchen was preparing the meal, Liu Ji's housekeeper finally received the news.

He didn't dare to tell Mr. Chang directly about this matter.

Instead, he first whispered to the subordinates in the house: "Go and tell the lord that Mr. Chang has been waiting for a day, please see the lord as soon as possible."

The housekeeper attaches so much importance to this person, which makes the subordinate a little incomprehensible: "Butler, the master has just entered the house, and he hasn't had time to eat yet."

As soon as the words fell, the next person was kicked hard by Liu Ji.

"You know the! Whatever you ask you to do, you will do it. ”

Seeing that the housekeeper was angry, the subordinate hurriedly went to inform Liu Ji in a gloomy manner.

At this time, the kitchen is serving.

Liu Ji had just finished bathing and changing, and after hearing the report of his subordinates, he couldn't help frowning: "They are still there?"

Although he is a minister in the same hall, some things on the scene still have to be done well.

However, this kind of thing depends on both parties to abide by it.

Chang Yuchun's relatives have been waiting in his house until now.

That's somewhat, it's rude.

Unless, the other party has something particularly important.

But Liu Ji couldn't think of anything important to talk about between himself and Chang Yuchun.

Could it be that it has something to do with the construction of Yanjing?

Relatives who often meet spring want to get a piece of the pie?

But that's not right.

often met in the spring, but Zhu Han's subordinates, his relationship with Zhu Han was much closer than his own.

Moreover, Zhu Han is a person who misses the old love very much.

When he cleaned up those merchants on Yanjing's side before, Zhu Han gave those people a lot of benefits.

If they really want to get a piece of the pie here, wouldn't it be better to go directly to Zhu Han?

But if it's not the problem, then what's going on?

Inexplicably, Liu Ji was a little nervous in his heart.

A military general suddenly came to contact him, a minister, mysteriously.

This did not make Liu Ji have some unnecessary speculation in his heart.

But no matter what, since the person is in his mansion, it is impossible for Liu Ji to turn a blind eye.

The servant had already set up the restaurant and was serving some dishes that had been prepared in advance.

Liu Ji waved his hand: "Just let the guests come over and dine with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ji's stomach made a gurgling sound.

Although in the legends of later generations, Liu Ji is often regarded as a half-immortal figure who has known 500 years before and 500 years later.

is really Liu Ji, obviously not as rebellious as the legendary Liu Bowen.

But even if he is a real half-immortal, he is not an immortal after all, and of course he still has to eat.

However, since he invited guests, Liu Bowen couldn't eat first, so he could only wait patiently.

The butler received the news and finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

The terrifying existence like a plague god in front of him finally didn't have to serve himself.

"Mr. Chang, our master has already set up a banquet, please come with me for you, sir."

Zhu Yuanzhang said dissatisfiedly: "Your master is really a busy man."

Of course, the housekeeper could hear the ridicule in Lao Zhu's tone, but he didn't hear it, and said awkwardly with a smile: "What Mr. said is that our master has been so busy since he came to Yanjing."

"Actually, it's been a lot better recently, when His Royal Highness didn't come before, our lord couldn't sleep for two hours every day, and the whole person was out of shape."

"If it weren't for His Royal Highness......

Lao Zhu seemed disdainful on the surface, but in fact, he really took this matter to heart in his heart: "This Liu Ji can still do things."

"But I don't have much ability anymore, and corruption can't be tolerated."

I have seen with my own eyes what Liu Ji has governed Yanjing, and directly because this is to kill Liu Ji, Lao Zhu is really a little reluctant in his heart.

Although Yanjing has become what it is today, one of the main heroes is actually his younger brother Zhu Han.

However, Liu Ji's political achievements are also visible to the naked eye.

If there is no Liu Ji, after Zhu Han leaves Yan Jingcheng, the development here will definitely come to a standstill.

But according to Zhu Yuanzhang's report, all aspects of Yanjing City are developing in an orderly manner, and the speed is still very fast.

Liu's Restaurant, Zhu Yuanzhang came a little slowly, and Liu Ji couldn't wait.

The main thing is that he is still hungry, and when he comes back in the evening, he has not eaten anything.

And he has not avoided suspicion, since Zhu Han arrived in Yanjing.

Liu Ji is only busy with business during the day, and once it is night, he will directly close the door to thank customers, and no matter how many people want to invite Liu Ji to dinner, they can't find this opportunity.

I was trying to find someone to ask when the people from the Chang family would come over.

I saw that the housekeeper was polite and led a person into the restaurant.

"Why are you so ......" Before he finished speaking, Liu Ji seemed to have been clicked on the acupoint, and the whole person froze in place.

Even Liu Ji, who had seen the world, saw his housekeeper following behind, and the person with a dignified face was buzzing with his head, as if Mount Tai had collapsed.
