In the middle of the moon, the surroundings were quiet, and the east courtyard was becoming more and more lively.

"Luo Niangzi."

Cui Taishou shouted before he got closer, and then completely ignored the chair that had been placed for him, and directly patted Gu Huaiyi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Gu Xian's nephew will find another place to sit, and you Uncle Cui will discuss important matters with Luo Niangzi." ”

Gu Huaiyi got up reluctantly, and gave up the position next to Luo Lingzhi to the thick-skinned Cui Taishou, his father was only a few years younger than Cui Taishou, and he was an official in the same dynasty, so he should have known each other before, and he should have been called Uncle Sheng.

But before he came to Chuancheng, he had never seen Cui Xun, and before that, Cui Taishou even scolded him with his neck, but now he called him a virtuous nephew with a smile, Gu Huaiyi was thin-skinned in the end, so he had to sit down opposite Luo Lingzhi.

Cui Taishou sat down unceremoniously, didn't even look at the tea brought by the maid, and cried directly, "Luo Niangzi, I will have a banquet tomorrow, in addition to you, the officials and people in Sichuan City who donate materials add up to hundreds of tables." In addition, the nearly 60,000 other people who participated in the construction of the dam, the repair of the city wall, and the dredging of the river also had to arrange a meal, not to mention sitting at the banquet like us, at least having all they could eat. ”

Luo Lingzhi nodded, "Well, that's how it should be." ”

But she didn't say anything else, in fact, she was also clear about the purpose of Cui Taishou's coming, after all, there were still some materials in Sichuan City, and she knew even better than Cui Taishou himself, and Chief Xun had completely come out of the tray with Bai Wulan. It can also be regarded as the performance of Chuancheng after surrendering.

Cui Taishou saw that Luo Lingzhi didn't say anything, so he had to directly pick out the words, "Luo Niangzi, you also know the situation in Chuancheng, it can be said that you are destitute!" We're your people now, no, yours. Luo Niang, you just have to think of a way! ”

Being able to kneel down in front of the people of Sichuan City on the city tower to be loyal to Luo Lingzhi, Cui Taishou is a person who carries it very clearly.

At this time, he completely tied himself, Chuan Cheng and Luo Lingzhi together.

Luo Lingzhi blinked, "Cui Taishou, I know your difficulties. I can figure it out for you, but you can't let me pay for nothing, can you? ”

"I don't know if Mrs. Luo can look at the land on East Street?"

Chief Xun, who had not spoken since he came in, asked with a smile, and instructed the little maid outside to remove the tea, account books, etc., and slowly unfolded the map he brought over on the table.

Pointing to the block to the east to show Luo Lingzhi, he introduced it seriously: "This place is dominated by two streets with a width of two zhang, and there are many shops within a radius of nearly five miles, and there are also courtyards built around the water. ”

"It should be a good place to be."

Luo Linzhi took a closer look at the place pointed by Chief Xun, and found that the road divided by East Street on the map was particularly regular, and it should have been built with a lot of effort, so he pulled Bai Wulan up, "Wulan, you can also take a look." ”

Bai Wulan looked at Chief Xun with deep meaning in his eyes, and praised: "Gathering the scattered shops in one place, Chief Xun's idea is really extraordinary. ”

Chief Xun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This place was originally the most concentrated market in Sichuan, and the wine shops, tea shops, rouge shops, etc. were all sold here. But no matter how clever it is, God doesn't care about it! ”

"Even so, this place is very precious."

Especially after Chuancheng completely recovers, it will be more expensive. Luo Lingzhi looked at Chief Officer Xun with a smile and asked, "I don't know what Chief Xun and Cui Taishou want?" Just the grain, rice and other materials needed for tomorrow are far less than this East Street. ”

"Whether it's worth it or not, whether it can be compared to this depends on what people think."

Chief Xun's face was solemn, and then he smiled slowly, and said seriously: "What's more, Chuancheng already belongs to Luo Niangzi, I just replace the 400,000 people in Sichuan City to exchange this East Street for Luo Niangzi's assistance, just like Luo Niangzi just said, you can't let you pay for nothing." Moreover, even if the emperor governs the country, he also pays money from the treasury, and it is not the emperor's personal treasury, and it should have been the treasury of the Sichuan City Mansion to give this silver. ”

Speaking of this, Chief Xun shook his head helplessly, "Luo Niangzi, you have also seen it, the treasury has almost become an empty shell, and there is no money or materials at all, so Taishou and I have the cheekiness to beg Luo Niangzi to think of a way." ”

Chief Xun said that he also asked Cui Taishou to sign the newly proposed entire land deed of Dongjie and stamped it with the seal he carried, and then handed it to Luo Lingzhi, "Originally, they were all ready to be sold piecemeal, but there was no such complete land deed, so it could only be handled in such a hurry, and the official seal of the Taishou Mansion was covered, and Luo Niangzi could use it with confidence." ”

Cui Taishou, who was stuffed with a brush and signed on the side, was still a little confused.

Xun Mao was dealing with this matter just now?

He didn't think that Xun Mao was acting on his behalf, after all, almost all the big and small things in Sichuan City over the years were handled by Xun Mao, although his name was Taishou, in fact, many things were handled by Xun Mao. If it weren't for such a capable person by his side, I was afraid that the current situation in Sichuan City would be far inferior to Shudi, and he would really trust and be grateful to Xun Mao.

Such a talented man has followed him for 20 years, alone.

Although he always said that he had no benevolence and did not put the people in his heart, and he often disliked the people of Sichuan City for being too stupid, but he has been doing nothing here for 20 years that is not for the people of Sichuan City.

If such a person Cui Xun doubts it again, it will really be lard.

Luo Lingzhi looked at the title deed in his hand, and once again realized that Chief Xun was meticulous in doing things, this title deed is not really useful, after all, the official seal of the Taishou Mansion still belongs to the Dongfeng Kingdom, and now they are completely free from the shackles of the Dongfeng Kingdom court in private, except that they did not directly raise the banner to oppose the Feng Emperor.

Therefore, this title deed was his Xun chief and Cui Taishou on behalf of Chuan Cheng to show her sincerity.

"I know your and Cui Taishou's intentions, please rest assured. I, Luo Lingzhi, once again promise that within three years, Chuancheng will surely return to its former prosperity or even more than before. ”

Chief Xun and Cui Taishou expressed their position, and Luo Lingzhi didn't mind revealing some news, so he said directly: "Since you and Cui Taishou both said that I can be the lord of Sichuan City, then I'm not welcome." With your ability, Chief Xun, I am not worried about the officials in Chuancheng, but in the area of water conservancy and agriculture, I am ready to let Xie Yi be in charge. ”

"But that Gongzi Xie who kept the thousands of hectares of rice fields in Sichuan City?"

Chief Xun's eyes immediately lit up.

Luo Lingzhi nodded, "Yes, it's him." ”

"Is it too condescending to just manage water conservancy and agriculture? Xun Mao is willing to abdicate to a virtuous person. Chief Xun said immediately.
