Hearing Li Hong say this, Xiao Chen realized that it was really not easy.

Tens of thousands of catties of wood can't fit any car, all of them have to rely on manpower to transport, just this piece of wood to transport in must not require hundreds of people?

Not counting the labor costs, just the food, drink and Lazar during transportation is a huge expense, and this alone is about thousands of taels of silver.

Those city bricks weigh forty or fifty pounds, as well as wood, sand and other building materials, all of which need to be carried in by migrant workers from outside the city, new ones are brought in, and burned ones are shipped out......

Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, but it is also quite expensive.

So how nice it would be if there were trains?

"Actually, you can think of other ways......" Xiao Chen suddenly remembered that he had read a book, and he forgot the name, but it seemed that some such things were recorded in it, and he was searching for memories.

"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, without silver, can she have a fart solution?" Li Hong was extremely depressed.

"Now that the weather is mild and the ground is thawing, you can dig a makeshift canal in the city and bring in those materials in a flat-bottomed boat, so that you can save time, effort and money." Xiao Chen suddenly had a whim.

Yes? The big guys were all stunned when they heard this, digging a canal in the city?

Boss, what are you kidding!

"I think it is dug from the west gate of Fengyang City, and it goes straight to the Xiping Gate of the Imperial City, this section of the terrain is high in the west and low in the east, and it is easy to bring in the river water outside the city." Xiao Chen didn't seem to notice the surprise of the big guy, and continued to talk to himself.

"What about the dirt that was dug up? And how will the water of this canal be channeled out in the future? Li Hong, as a master craftsman in the Ministry of Engineering and an expert in ancient engineering, was particularly angry at Xiao Chen's nonsense.

Everyone is going to be annoyed to death, Brother Xiao, are you still kidding?

"You don't want dirt for your reconstruction? It's also saved from being transported from outside the city, and you also need water for your project, right? The rest can be poured into the palace cistern, the Huaqing Lake in the imperial garden, and you can dredge the Fangcheng River by the way......"

"The scorched earth and rubble that was transported from the burned ruins of the palace are all cushioned in the ditch, and only a layer of loess is laid on it?"

Well? Li Hong originally looked disdainful, but gradually his expression became solemn and replaced by deep admiration.

It turned out that Xiao Chen didn't joke with him, but seriously taught him a series of clever tricks!

Not to mention anything else, if there is a canal, then a piece of tens of thousands of catties of wood can directly drift down the river, just this one, saving thousands of taels of silver!

"I'll teach you one more, you don't have to re-get the big stone bricks in front of Rende Temple, how can the stones be old? As long as the burned skin is chiseled away and re-carved, isn't it new? ”

"In this way, you can save a lot of silver, and now that the treasury is tight, if you can save it, you can save it as much as possible for the emperor!"

"This is all my personal advice, whether it is feasible or not depends on you, a master craftsman, to make an idea......

Xiao Chen knows everything, and he has endless words.

Li Hong didn't say a word, suddenly turned around and ran.

I ran so fast that I tripped over the threshold when I went out, and I fell to the ground with a pop, and the black gauze hat flew far away.

Without waiting for everyone to help, a tall man jumped up, picked up his hat and went like flying.

The rest of the people looked at each other with bewildered expressions.

Say goodbye to the big guy, right?

"Hahaha, Lord Xiao, you can solve Lord Li's troubles for more than a month in a few words, I see that he is going to shine in front of the emperor and hundreds of officials this time!" Liu Wenzheng laughed.

"Brother Xiao, how did you grow this brain? It's too smart, and when you die, I'll dig out your brain and study it. ”

Ye Baiqing got up and stood behind Xiao Chen, looking his head up and down, obviously ill-intentioned.

"It's not called wisdom, it's wisdom." Zhuge Xiaosheng said with a smile.

"Great wisdom." Wen Shanchang added.

"I see that the boss is a god descending to earth." Wei Yuntian is even more exaggerated.

Anyway, I don't want money, just shoot casually.

"Brother, I also think that Lord Xiao is wise and martial, wise and brave, and he is a genius and a ......pillar of the country," Liu Wenzheng said.

"Wenzheng, if you have something, just say it, don't mess around with them, just ask if it's okay, I'm busy here!" Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"Look at what your lord said! It's not that you're busy, it's that we're busy! I'm also a member of Liu Guifei's homecoming provincial team now, have you forgotten? I just arranged the affairs of the ministry, and I came to report to the adults! Liu Wenzheng bowed to Xiao Chen.

Oh, isn't it, Xiao Chen then remembered that now this Tobe Langzhong is also his temporary subordinate.

"Then let's discuss it together, it's really ...... for our brothers to do this drudgery" Xiao Chen shook his head and sighed.

"Huh? Adults think it's drudgery? Liu Wenzheng was shocked to hear this, and was instantly stunned.

"So what's not? Is it still a beauty difference? Xiao Chen was more surprised than him.

"Of course it's a beauty difference, or a big beauty difference! If it weren't for the fact that the adults were the emperor's close ministers and confidants, how could it be your turn? Liu Wenzheng said loudly.

So where does beauty come from?

In fact, although this trip is hard, it is really a big difference, do you think, follow the emperor's favorite concubine home, how many officials have to stammer along the way?

If they can't reach the concubine, they can only shoot Xiao Chen and his Liu Wenzheng's ass.

As for the way of sycophancy, it is not as simple as one or two obedient words, but real money!

Although he is only a five-rank langzhong, he is a Beijing official, or an official of the household department, who among the following officials doesn't want to take this opportunity to get acquainted with him?

With his help, it will be very convenient to do things in the capital in the future.

Not to mention our Xiao Chen, a world-famous talent, a big celebrity in front of the emperor, queen and concubines, and a great eunuch with a pen!

"I'm not embarrassed about this and this, right?" After Xiao Chen listened to Liu Wenzheng's cryptic explanation, he couldn't help but smile shyly.

"My lord, our brothers are greedy for money by order, and they can't be greedy if they are not greedy, that is called disrespect for the will!" Liu Wenzheng said with a smile.

It's really not greedy.

Because the big guys know that you Liu Wenzheng has such a beautiful difference, after a trip, you will definitely make a lot of money, and you eat your own mouth full of oil, let's share a mouthful of soup It's no problem, right?

As an old oilman in officialdom, Liu Wenzheng is naturally well versed in this.

If he doesn't pretend to be a clean official for a penny on the road, and if he doesn't have the money to honor these uncles in the capital when he comes back, believe it or not, he will be involved the next day?

This is the unspoken rule of officialdom, no matter who it is, it must be followed.

There are also those who don't comply, Chen Jisheng, but please see what happens to him now?

Wenzheng, you see that you didn't say it earlier, so if the big guy starts to do things, he will also have motivation!

Liu Wenzheng said very modestly, I thought you all knew it, adult.

Although he is a bit sleek, he has a strong ability to do things, otherwise he can be a Tobe Langzhong?

With him joining, it will be smoother to handle all matters.
