How did you persuade her to come? Tell her not to mint coins by herself, she seems to be obedient, and she is going to open a money bank with someone else to buy and sell Jiaozi...... Although this "other" is not someone else, he is pretending.

"Where can I reason?!"

took off the light veil that covered the upper half of his face, and Huang Gongzi turned back into Li Yi.

Li Yi did not wipe off the disguise with strong wine, but sat on the chair and was distracted.

"I really can't imagine what you're like in Heavenly Court......" he lowered his head and smiled bitterly, muttering, "Could it be Tao Zhu Gong and the like?" ”

Could it be that the princess was the goddess of wealth when she was in heaven?

After another moment, he suddenly sighed: "I was upset by you, and I actually forgot to talk about repairing the river......"

After finishing speaking, he laughed softly.

The laughter was followed by a long sigh.

"I seem to be getting farther and farther away from you." In the empty room, the noble son in white who was victorious in snow murmured lonely.

After lunch, Pei Qing received a report that Huang Gongzi went to the dock under construction.

After thinking about it, she grabbed the drawings of the ferry crossing and rode in that direction.

On a May afternoon, the sun is already quite hot, but because Xixian is in the north, the air is still very refreshing.

Pei Qing was surrounded by more than a dozen female guards holding swords, and came to the edge of the river embankment that was being built.

Because it was necessary to build both the embankment and the dredging of the riverbed, the whole construction site was in a mess.

Logically speaking, the river should be repaired in February and March, but because this place is so cold that it has not even completely thawed in February and March, they can only choose to repair the river now, as long as it can be repaired before the rainy season and floods arrive, it is not too late at all.

Zeng Qiang was ordered to widen the river into a canal-like waterway, so he first asked people to build a flood channel, first diverting the water from the river, and then digging a deep riverbed to strengthen the embankment on the original foundation of the river.

Since there was a meteorite iron mine in Xixian County, iron tools are finally no longer stretched, and shovels and hoes can be completely done by one person, and they are also very sharp.

The excavation of the river was very smooth, and people stepped on the silt to dig out the river mud and put it in baskets, and then used a burden to pick it up to the reinforced river embankment, and raised the river embankment layer by layer.

And in the newly built flood channel, the river is constantly rushing, shining golden in the sun.

Huang Gongzi was followed by two entourages, sitting in a wheelchair and watching the scene in front of him from a distance, in the hustle and bustle of the crowd, he was like a quiet ink painting, left behind and independent.

After Pei Qing got off the horse, he stood and admired Huang Gongzi's handsome side face for a moment before walking over slowly.

The people of the Huang family naturally quickly noticed her arrival, and Huang Gongzi's two entourages stood alertly on both sides of the back of his wheelchair, in order to show respect, when Pei Qing gradually approached, they all lowered their heads and stood straight like javelins.

Pei Qing glanced at the two entourages in surprise, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "Isn't Huang Gongzi's entourage from the army?" It looks like the temperament is very different from the average martial artist. ”

After the disguise, Li Yi, that is, Huang Gongzi, swallowed a mouthful of air silently, feeling that the root of his tongue was sore and the root of his teeth was bitter.

"Stand back!" He ordered the two retinues in ventriloquism.

The two attendants took three steps back in unison, obeying him and being very respectful.

Pei Qing couldn't help but glance at the two again.

The former county militia is now well trained, but compared with these two retinues who are obviously veterans, it still feels a little worse.

——Professional or unprofessional, as soon as you look at the standing posture, you will immediately distinguish it.

Huang Gongzi gently called Pei Qing in ventriloquism and pulled her eyes back.

"Princess, why are you here?" Huang Gongzi asked lightly in ventriloquism.

Pei Qing smiled like a flower, her beautiful eyes glanced at him, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and handed him a few drawings: "Huang Gongzi left in a hurry, this is the design of the ferry, which one should you use?"

Huang Gongzi took the drawing with his slender jade-white fingers and gently rubbed it on it with his fingertips.

"Okay, I'll see it when I go back." He casually put the drawings away and fell silent.

Pei Qing always felt that when they met this time, this Huang Gongzi seemed to be in a low mood all the time, she didn't seem to offend him, right?

Well, she didn't offend him, she just cheated him hard.

Not only did she sell the land that was originally worthless to others for a sky-high rent of 100,000 taels of silver a year, but also pulled them into the bottomless pit of repairing the river, which cost a lot of money......

In order to alleviate each other's embarrassment, Pei Qing took the lead in talking about business.

"There are still too few people in our former county, and we have to work in the fields to dig out, and all the other people who can come to repair the river have come, and all the workshops except the nursery have stopped, and those who can come have come, but there are still not enough people."

Huang Gongzi replied indifferently in ventriloquism: "River workers naturally cost manpower."

His graceful curved lips were tightly pursed, and when you looked closely, you would find that the corners of his lips were pulled down, showing the unhappiness in his heart.

I just received 100,000 taels of silver from other people, and they came here to watch the construction of the ferry, and they also brought in a money village that can issue Jiaozi is a priceless treasure...... is reasonable, Pei Qing feels the need to coax him.

"Today, Princess Ben personally cooked and set up a banquet, but Huang Gongzi ate very little, could it be that Huang Gongzi has a bad appetite?" She asked with concern, "There is a pot of angelica chicken soup stewed in the small kitchen, why don't you ask the princess to send it over to cushion her stomach later?" ”

The corners of Huang Gongzi's mouth became straighter, and his delicate jaw seemed to become a little easier.

"Thank you princess, please send the soup to the second floor at the top of the Huangjia Commercial Street, where a certain person lives temporarily." After saying this, the straight corners of his mouth turned into slightly upturned corners, and Huang Gongzi's mood visibly improved.

Pei Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

"Manpower, little things." The breeze ruffled his hair and covered his beautiful lips, and he said in ventriloquism, "I asked the caravan to step up the collection of men, and sent them to the princess." ”

Speaking of this, Pei Qing's heart moved, and he asked softly: "Then if our own caravan in the former county wants to find more people for the county...... What to do? ”

Everywhere you go, you contact Yazi to buy the population? Are there so many people who sell themselves?

Huang Gongzi's answer was very decisive: "Don't act rashly!" The princess is now the lord of the feudal town, and it is just a matter of someone else sending people to you, if you come forward to buy it yourself, I am afraid that it will attract criticism from the DPRK and China. ”

Pei Qing nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "It seems that Huang Gongzi's background behind him is very deep, isn't it?"
