Chapter 14: Shuangshu

Li Yu's letter of borrowing grain and money passed through the boat in Shuishui, and arrived at the Jingxiang Jiedu embassy in three days.

After receiving the letter, Zhao Kuangning laughed.

"This King De, before he got married, he began to borrow money and grain."

"Hehe, brother, of course my son-in-law has to help, I think I'll send it myself."

"What? Are you going to Nanyang? ”

"Alas, since I came back and told Bi Niang about marrying into the palace, this girl has been messing with me, how is this good!"

"You're just too spoiled by her."

"Brother, is it okay with the embroidery girl?"

"What can she say? According to the words of the matchmaker of her parents, her marriage is destined to be married. ”

"He really borrowed a lot, so you can do it."

Zhao Kuangming took the initiative to handle the money and food, which made Zhao Kuangning very pleased.

According to the instructions of Li Yu, the king of Germany, the county Cheng Gao Shi was transferred to Wang Fu Peng (yuàn), and was promoted from the eighth grade to the sixth grade, with 100 stone of Lu rice and 2,400 yuan.

Li Huaixian, the county lieutenant, was transferred to the royal palace, and was promoted from the ninth grade to the sixth grade, with 100 stone of rice and 2,400 money.

The main book Wang Qian was transferred to the main book of the palace, rising from the ninth grade to the sixth grade, with 90 stones of rice and 2,400 yuan, covering the provincial calligraphy.

Originally, there were two people in the military under him, who were in charge of the book and the book, and one person who was in charge of the military affairs, who was in charge of paying things, sentences, and provincial banknotes; But isn't it like no one, Wang Qian is in charge for the time being.

The corresponding Cao Sizuo also corresponds to the corresponding increase and decrease, but there is no promotion.

Don't turn Wei Ai into the deputy pawn of the palace, from the five grades, Lu rice is one hundred and sixty stones, and the money is three thousand six hundred.

Fang Xing was promoted to the right general of the palace, Li Xiong was promoted to the left general of the palace, Fang Liang was promoted to the former general of the palace, according to the general of the palace, etc., all of them are under the seven grades, 80 stones of Lu rice, and 2,100 dollars.

As for the governor of the palace, Shi Zhoukuan, he held two positions and received double salaries, the chief of the palace was from the four grades, Lu rice was 260 stones, the money was 4,200, and the national decree was from the seven grades, Lu rice was 70 stones, and the money was 2,100. Zhou Kuan's monthly income is more, Lu rice is 340 stones, and the money is 6,300, which is a little less than the Lu rice from the third grade, but the money is more than the second grade!

With such treatment, can he work without playing with his life?!

These personnel changes were compiled into a seal and sent directly to Chang'an, and as long as they were approved, they were officials recognized by the imperial court.

Everyone is happy, who doesn't want to be promoted and get rich! The big guys are all full of energy!

On the ninth day of the first month of March, Nanyang County was shocked by a Nanyang government canal repair order.

Zhuangding who is idle at home in winter can go to the irrigation canal construction site organized by the state government to work and give food.

In the past two years, the county government has not organized such a project, and many people are living at home. In winter, the farm is slack, there is no work to do, and there is a lot of food.

Now that there is a canal repair order, there is a place to eat.

Hula, four or five thousand people came at once.

The ditch was repaired by the master Gongzuo, and the original irrigation canal was dredged and repaired along the direction of the river to the city.

Craftsmen from Xiangcheng, Suixian, and Fangcheng in Tangzhou were also recruited to build water trucks along the river.

This time, Li Yu also had a big bloodletting.

The water truck is built with 80 pieces of water trucks, and it is built according to the scale of 120 units from north to south along the water.

Starting from Fengshan between Xiangcheng and Nanyang, all the way south through Nanyang to Xinye, there is a 120-mile river section in Shuishui, and a water truck is erected in each mile.

This is because of the time relationship, and by next year, Li Yu will achieve a waterwheel of 500 meters.

Just these 120 waterwheels will cost nearly 10,000 yuan. This is also Nanyang is Li Yu's fiefdom, and I am afraid that any official will not have the courage and ability to do so.

On March 20, Zhao Kuangming personally escorted the money and grain to Nanyang.

This time, Zhao Kuangming transported 50,000 pieces of Xiangzi Kaiyuan Tongbao and 100,000 pieces of rice, which is also water transportation, if it is transported by land, how many carriages will be transported?

Zhou Kuan had to let the people who repaired the canal to transfer the goods, but fortunately, the warehouse in Nanyang was large enough to be loaded.

……

"Bi Niang, you wait for me!"

"Sister, hurry up, it's bad for Daddy to find out."

Two little ladies with face towels sneaked off the boat and ran into Nanyang City hand in hand.

In Nanyang City in March, peach blossoms bloom on both sides of the quaint streets, and the fragrance intoxicates pedestrians.

"Wow, sister, look, there are so many peach blossoms!"

"Yes, our peach blossoms in Xiangyang are also blooming!"

"Didn't my cousin say it's hard here? Why don't you think so? ”

"Sister, we only see the surface, but in fact, it is not easy for the people to live."

The two stood under the peach tree, enjoying the scenery and whispering.

……

Looking at the warehouses full of grain and golden copper coins, Li Yu's mouth couldn't close.

He explained a few words to Sikurazo and walked out.

He was happy in his heart, he finally had money and food, and he could let go of his hands and feet to do a big job.

Originally, Li Yu's idea was to hide himself and be a prince who eats and waits for death. But when you think about it, you really can't do that. Just because time is too tight, he has no time to waste, how can he have any effort to do any disguise.

I will only have more than a year at most, and if the situation changes, I am afraid that there will be no year.

Let's do it quickly.

As for what will happen if Zhu Quanzhong finds out? The big deal is to send troops to kill him, even if you send troops to kill him, you have to move your father to the capital!

Therefore, when he came to Nanyang, he began to be busy, and he didn't have time to greet the beauties in the backyard.

As soon as I turned out of the treasury, I saw two little ladies with light veils standing under the peach trees on the street, with graceful figures, and the girl's playfulness and coquettishness could not be concealed, and I didn't know which girl it was.

When he was looking at it, Zhou Kuan ran over panting.

"Your Highness, Zhao Yuanjun is already waiting in the palace."

"Uh, okay, let's go."

Li Yu glanced at the little lady not far away with regret, and left with more than a dozen guards.

"Sister, that disciple is watching us."

"Ignore him, and don't look at him."

"Hmm. However, what kind of person is this, and a little handsome. ”

"Sister, what are you talking about, we are people with a marriage contract."

"Where?! The emperor's finger marriage has not yet arrived, and it doesn't count now! ”

"Let's go, we can't play too long, it would be bad if the boat drove away."

"Got it."

The two young ladies went shopping hand in hand.

……

When Li Yu returned to the county office, he hosted a banquet for Zhao Kuangming in the temporary palace, and Li Yu thanked the Zhao family for their support to him.

"Father-in-law, now that there are few people in the county, I have to land reclamation, and I still need my father-in-law's help."

In order to let the Zhao brothers help him, he has changed his name to father-in-law.

"Hehe, the virtuous son-in-law is easy to say."

"I need a thousand head of cattle."

"Huh? Still ploughing cattle? ”

Zhao Kuangming pouted and said, "Okay, I'll do my best." ”

Li Yu also knows that there is a shortage of cultivating cattle, anyway, it doesn't matter, you can get as much as you can, it's better than nothing!

That night, Zhao Kuangming boarded the ship and returned to Xiangyang after the banquet, and he wanted to go back to Li Yu to buy cattle to cultivate.

……

"Oops, sister, oh no!"

"Bi Niang, I said to come back early, look, what can I do! Uncle is gone! ”

Zhao Xiuniang stomped her feet anxiously.

Zhao Biniang was also dumbfounded this time, pulling her sister's sleeve at a loss.

Looking at the lights that were fading away in the water, the young ladies were completely dumbfounded.

Xiuniang now regrets that she shouldn't have listened to her sister, and secretly followed her uncle's cargo ship to Nanyang, and now it's too late to say anything.

Ten days ago, my father returned to Xiangyang and told her about his marriage to King De.

For her, her marriage is not in charge, and her parents' orders have been around since ancient times.

But what she didn't expect was that her father asked her and Bi Niang to emulate the story of Empress E's daughter, which made her feel mixed.

She and Bi Niang are of the same age, and they grew up together, and the two are like sisters, but they didn't expect their marriage to be closely linked to their sister.

Bi Niang knew the news and secretly came to her, saying that she didn't want to say anything.

She felt that her sisters were competing for their husbands together, so hurtful!

Later, I heard that my uncle was going to Nanyang, and my sister had to pull her to see what kind of king of virtue, if she could get into the eyes of the law, she would marry her sister together, if it didn't agree, then resolutely not marry!

Under Bi Niang's repeated begging, the two secretly boarded the grain ship, which was the result of the consistent money they gave to the boat boss.

It was the first time for the two sisters to go far away, and they were both excited and apprehensive.

After hiding on the ship for three days, he arrived in Nanyang.

When they got here, the young ladies forgot all about going to the palace to peep, and when they went to the dock in the evening, the boat had already sailed.

The two of them are so frustrated.

What can I do?

The money had already been given to the ship boss, and there were only a few copper coins left on him.

It was dark, and the docks were brightly lit.

The two little ladies can't even go back to the city, and the city gate is closed.

Fortunately, there was a shop by the pier, and the two of them walked over in the dark.

"Let's deal with it here for a night, and then figure it out tomorrow."

……

Li Yu is happy today, as soon as the money and food come, the dilemma in front of him will be solved.

As long as the reclamation order is issued tomorrow, it is believed that it will attract displaced people.

"Your Highness, it's getting dark at night, let's rest early."

The beauty came to urge him several times.

"Oh, you guys rest first, I'll rest in the study today."
