Chapter 70: Who Loves Cheap and Who Builds (Seeking Follow-up)
Jiang Ziya came out of Yanshan at dawn, and went to Yuli City in the evening, and explained to Ji Chang for a while, and then went back to Chaoge.
Ji Changbu took a hexagram and knew that Bo Yi had received the silk book, and finally put his mind at ease, but he didn't know that his eldest son did not obey orders.
Jiang Ziya returned to Songjiazhuang, burned incense and bathed for a while, and then ran the Jade Void Method and exhaled food.
Today's rest is over, and tomorrow he has to go to Si Tianjian to order.
However, Jiang Ziya likes this errand very much, it doesn't matter how much he is, it doesn't hurt if he is not an official, the main thing is that he can share the luck of humanity, and he is really idle.
Before dark, you only need to sort out the classics, look at the changes in the sky over the years, the disasters in Kyushu, and occasionally work a night shift, which is also simple, just watch the celestial phenomena for a while.
Don't look at Bigan, King Wucheng and others in high positions and rich in wealth, but you don't look at how many things people have to do in a day and how much effort they have to put into it.
If you have a bad mentality, you can play right in the Jinluan Palace every day, and look at the bear-like king every day, I am afraid that you will get angry.
Jiang Ziya meditated all night with anticipation, put on his official uniform early the next morning, and went to the palace.
It's good that he didn't go, but this time he got into trouble.
Daji hated him so much that he gritted his teeth, and yesterday he wanted to summon him to come and hand over the task of supervising the construction of Lutai to him, but it happened that he was resting, so he had to give up.
Jiang Ziya took out the tooth card, verified his identity, and then entered the palace gate, and was about to go to Si Tianjian when he suddenly heard that the king of Xuan had issued a decree to summon him.
"The king has a decree and orders you to go to the Star Picking Tower to wait for the fate."
The eunuch spoke lightly, neither qualified for the official position, nor had a holy decree in his arms, obviously did not take Jiang Ziya seriously.
Jiang Ziya doesn't care, a brick is smashed in this palace, and I don't know how many doctors can be killed.
He received the will, and did not delay, and immediately went in the direction of the Star Picking Tower.
Jiang Ziya knew that Daji was the embodiment of evil, so he was naturally always on guard, and as soon as he entered the palace, he hid Juque in his sleeve.
He walked slowly, but he secretly thought to himself, not knowing what the demon was thinking again.
In less than three moments, he arrived at the downstairs of the star picking.
"But the next doctor, Jiang Shang?"
The palace maid stood outside the building and stepped forward to ask.
"Exactly."
Jiang Ziya did not squint and replied indifferently.
"Go straight to the top floor."
The palace maid stepped aside and asked Jiang Ziya to enter the building.
Jiang Ziya sealed Juque with a prohibition, not daring to reveal the slightest sword qi, so as not to be noticed by Daji, he touched his sleeve and went upstairs with a little trepidation.
"Si Tianjian Jiang Shang, meet the king and Niangniang."
Jiang Ziya made a big salute and got up.
He was originally a citizen of the Shang Dynasty, and there was naturally nothing wrong with worshipping the king, but he could worship demons, and he only felt that the three corpses were beating.
However, the current situation is stronger than people, the king of Xuan has humane luck, it is just ordinary to suppress him, Daji has cultivated for thousands of years, and it is not difficult to kill him.
Jiang Ziya suppressed the anger in his heart, lowered his eyebrows, and waited for the hair to fall.
"Jiang Shang, few people know that you are wonderful, but you have a big task entrusted to you.
Concubine Su Aifei presented a treasure scroll, painted a pavilion, called Lutai, this platform is exquisitely conceived, and the idle generation can not supervise it.
You are well versed in the five elements of yin and yang, and you know feng shui, but you are the best candidate. ”
The king hugged Daji's slender waist and casually threw the scroll towards Jiang Ziya.
His behavior has already broken the etiquette of the big business, but there is no official at the moment, and he is naturally unscrupulous.
Jiang Ziya seemed to be drooping and old, but in fact, the immortal path was just beginning, and he was agile, he stretched out a palm to catch the scroll, and then slowly unfolded.
What King Su said is right, Jiang Ziya is indeed rich and rich, and he "understands" a little bit about everything.
In the past, when he was studying Taoism in Kunlun Mountain, in addition to practicing the Jade Void Method, he also learned mundane knowledge such as political affairs, the art of war, public opinion, and construction.
Although he was reluctant to learn these skills back then, his arm couldn't twist Yuan Shi Tianzun's thigh, so he could only learn it honestly, but it came in handy today.
He saw that this deer platform was magnificent and embellished with jewels, jade and agate and other precious stones, and knew that this platform was extremely difficult to build and would cost a lot of money.
Wen Zhong went to Beihai to quell the rebellion for many years, and the treasury was not very rich, so if he wanted to build Lutai, he had to levy forced labor.
In the past few years, the life of the common people of the Great Merchants has not been very good, and the courtiers in the court and the central government have all burned today, and the corpses will be divided tomorrow, each with its own way of dying, not to mention the common people.
If you really want to levy conscription and add a fire, then it will really be a boiling of public resentment.
Although Jiang Ziya knew that his destination was not in Chaoge, he did not want to supervise the construction of this platform with his conscience and let the people suffer.
But he thought about it, even if he didn't supervise the construction, there would be someone to supervise the construction, and then he would still have to work for the people and lose money, so it was better to take this errand first, and fish in troubled waters every day, and it would be a day to drag it on.
"Your Majesty, this Lutai is indeed exquisitely conceived, Jiang is not talented, and I want to dare to give it a try."
Jiang Ziya closed the scroll and bowed to the king.
Seeing that Jiang Ziya had answered the errand, the king was quite satisfied, and was about to issue an order to seal the official and allocate manpower, but was interrupted.
"Your Majesty, the concubine knows that Dr. Jiang is quite talented, but this stage is for fun with the gods, and it must be built quickly."
Daji leaned into the king's arms and put her hands on his neck.
Jiang Ziya lowered his head, unwilling to see the demon confusing the emperor.
The king smiled and pinched Daji's waist, causing her to snort and her body tremble.
"Jiang Shang, if this platform is handed over to you to supervise, how long will it take?"
Jiang Ziya knew that Da had deliberately made things difficult, and he didn't know how much manpower and material resources would be spent on this station, even if he planned it well, it would take five years to build.
But now Daji has confused the king and made him eager to build a platform, saying that it is still a bit conservative to say that it is five years.
"Your Majesty, if you want to be perfect, you can build it in three years, and if you need to save some time, you can also achieve it in two years."
The king was overjoyed when he heard this, he thought that this station could not be built in ten or eight years, but he did not think that he would be able to travel with Feixian in such a short time.
As for how, where, and how to travel, only the king himself knows.
"Doctor Jiang's ability is really not small, but this palace has a word in advance, three years later, if you can't build this deer platform, you will be punished by the cannon."
Daji naturally didn't want to see Jiang Ziya proud, she set a deadline, and said that if Lutai was not built in the future, there would be a way to cure him.
"Jiang Shang, if you dare to delay the construction period, you will be guilty of deceiving the king, and you will be beheaded with the dragon and phoenix sword at that time."
The king cheered for Daji in a timely manner, and in the world, he was Daji's biggest backer.
Jiang Shang felt a pang in his heart when he heard this, the dragon and phoenix sword is the emperor's sword, implying humane luck, if he uses this sword to kill him, I am afraid it will be effortless.
"Your Majesty, Jiang Shang is loyal and has no intention of deceiving the king."
Jiang Ziya hurriedly made a guarantee, he said so, but he didn't think so in his heart.
If the people can't survive, this emperor might as well be replaced.
Jiang dragged it, whoever loves the cheap will build it, and the big deal will burn your foundation and leave.
