Everyone praised Zhu Chengjun's strategy, but soon discovered new problems.

It's not easy to create enough jobs in a short period of time.

"If you have a good plan, Brother Zhu, just say it, and I will do our best to do it."

Zhu Chengjun no longer hung everyone's appetite, pointed to the gate of the city, and said, "Expand the county seat!" ”

"Hiss......" Everyone present was dumbfounded.

With only 500,000 taels of money, he wanted to expand the city, but everyone didn't dare to think about it.

The people present were all people of insight, and they all knew that the expansion of the city would require a large number of migrant workers, and of course, a large amount of money.

"The cost of expanding the city is huge, and it is considered more appropriate to renovate it under the current conditions." Shi Qian proposed.

Zhu Chengjun immediately rejected Shi Qian's proposal, explaining: "Although the renovation of the old city can provide a large number of jobs, it does not create value, and although the expansion of the city is expensive, it can create huge future value." ”

Everyone is a scholar and is not good at economic construction, and after Zhu Chengjun mentioned it slightly, he immediately thought of a lot of places that could create value.

"What scale does Brother Zhu plan to expand the county seat to?" Wei Ying seems to be particularly interested in civil engineering.

"Ten times." Zhu Chengjun understated it, as if it was a trivial matter to build a city on a large scale.

You must know that the kings of all dynasties have built a lot of construction projects that led to the destruction of the country, and because of this, they have been criticized by historians and scholars, and the kings who have been nailed to the pillar of shame in history have not yet received a more fair evaluation. The most pertinent evaluation is nothing more than that the sin is in the present and the merit is in the future.

"Ten times!" Everyone was shocked.

"Oh my God! I'll do the math......"

"Such a big construction...... Not to mention that it will cost more than 10 million taels of silver! Lu Heng hurriedly pulled his fingers, and the number he got made him stunned on the spot, even if he tried his best all the way, he was afraid that it would be difficult to complete it, and it would be tantamount to a fantasy to complete this huge project with the power of Zhongli County.

Zhongli County's annual tax revenue is less than 500,000 taels, and the expansion of the city is equivalent to overdrawing Zhongli County's financial resources for the next two hundred years.

Everyone was silent.

This is something to be done in a real way, not a hot-blooded scholar's guidance and rhetoric.

"Brother Zhu has never done things that he is not sure of, since he dares to say it, there must be a way." Wei Ying said.

Zhu Chengjun bowed slightly, with a confident look of wisdom in his hand, and immediately looked at Lu Heng and Wei Ying, who were the most exaggerated, and asked casually: "Brother Lu, Brother Wei seems to be quite interested in civil engineering. ”

"I just learned a little bit when I had nothing to do." Wei Ying smiled modestly and turned to look at Lu Heng, "If you want to talk about civil construction, Brother Lu's attainments are far above me." ”

Zhu Chengjun saw that the two of them were quite confident in what they had learned, so he immediately waved his hand at the two of them, and asked: "The younger brother will ask the two brothers to work harder, and strive to come up with a simple map of the urban area tomorrow morning." ”

"Tomorrow morning! Brother Zhu, it's not such a bad way to send people. ”

"Brother Zhu, you're pushing too hard! It's life-threatening! ”

Lu Heng and Wei Ying complained again and again.

"Brother Zhu only needs a simple plan, not a detailed map, why do the two brothers look like this."

"I absolutely believe that a plan is for the two of you...... It's a trifle. ”

…………

Everyone present seemed to believe in the work ability of Lu Heng and Wei Ying.

"Get out! It's a big deal, I won't sleep tonight! ”

Seeing the two of them express their attitudes, everyone is not good to watch from the sidelines, thinking that they should contribute their own strength.

"If there is anything you need help with, just ask, I will wait for you to send it."

…………

Seeing everyone's performance, Zhu Chengjun secretly rejoiced in his heart, as long as he was united, there was nothing he couldn't do.

"Really." Lu Heng didn't bother to be polite to this group of 'bad friends', pushing people so hard, asking for more, too much? Not too much! Lu Heng thought that this was a matter of course.

Seeing that Lu Heng was about to make a request, everyone couldn't help but bow their heads, and there was a feeling of 'revenge'.

Zhu Chengjun looked at the two of them, patted his chest and promised: "When the two brothers are in danger, if they have any requirements, they will do their best to meet them." ”

"In the next coiled ......" opened his mouth to talk about money, Lu Heng felt embarrassed.

Studying is a very expensive thing, and the people present are all poor students, and their families are not very wealthy.

"I should be a big thing, a small thing, wrapped around me." Zhu Chengjun promised to solve this problem for Lu Heng and Wei Ying on the spot, and then glanced at everyone and said: "I want to implore you brothers to do this to drive the county government to fully assist Brother Lu, Brother Wei, I don't know what you brothers want?" ”

"There are free inns, but it's a fool who doesn't live there."

"In the past few days, we have also had an official addiction to the county master."

"Haha......"

Zhu Chengjun settled the group well, and when he went out, he just saw Xu Jing, Sun Qi, Chen Xuan, and Han Yue, the four female rakshasas of the White Lotus Sect, coming together, and said straight in his heart, these four female rakshasas must be eyeing the 500,000 taels of silver. Most of the 500,000 taels of silver were looted by the four female rakshasas who raided the homes of the powerful bullies, and they were just 'borrowed', and now the silver has not been spent, and they are here to get it back.

Whether it's a blessing or a curse, it can't be avoided, Zhu Chengjun greeted him with a smile.

"I heard that the silver was not taken away by the Yuan army." Xu Jing split his head and covered his face.

"I've already put the money into the treasury." Zhu Chengjun is not afraid of these four murderous female rakshasas.

Hearing this, the four female rakshasas stared at each other.

"Take it out!" As he spoke, Sun Qi had an extra dagger in his hand at some point.

Zhu Chengjun's brows instantly twisted into a deep 'Sichuan' character, and said with a wry smile: "The silver is in the treasury, and it won't run away on its own feet." It just so happens that I have a plan to make a fortune with you, so let's go home...... Talk about ......"

"Don't let you think about it." Chen Xuan warned sternly.

"Don't dare...... Get in the car, let's go home......" Facing the female power of the four female rakshasas, Zhu Chengjun had to temporarily soften, but this silver cannot be handed over to these four female rakshasas under any circumstances, and it will be spent sooner or later in their hands, and it will be different in our hands.

In the carriage, Zhu Chengjun was stared at tightly by the cold eyes of the four female rakshasas, and he felt that the whole person was like falling into an ice cave, which was even more stressful than when facing Boyan.

"Tell me about your plans to make a fortune." Xu Jing knows that this kid may not have other skills, but when it comes to holding silver, he is definitely a good hand.

Zhu Chengjun calmed down and looked lightly at the four female rakshasas sitting on the left and right, and asked: "What do you plan to do with this money, hand it over to your master to win her favor, and let her reward you for meritorious deeds?" ”

The four women looked at each other, thoughtful in their eyes, they were all orphans adopted by Our Lady of Pear Blossom, and they didn't know how much silver they had contributed to the White Lotus Sect over the years, but in the end, they couldn't get anything but an injury, even if Our Lady of Pear Blossom had a great kindness to them, they should pay it off after so many years, but their master was getting more and more intense, and the tasks given to them were getting heavier and heavier, and they gave themselves less and less.

Han Yue snorted coldly: "You hand over the silver, as for what we want to do, you don't care." ”

Zhu Chengjun saw from the eyes of the four women their dissatisfaction with the Lady of Pear Blossom, coercing people to be used as cattle and horses, and everyone will have emotions. Since Xu Jing and the others have a gap with the Lady of Pear Blossom, why not make good use of it, Zhu Chengjun looked directly at the four girls without fear, and said in a deep voice: "I have a lot of use for this silver, don't even think about taking any of you." ”

"You dare!"

Suddenly, Zhu Chengjun felt a little more shade around his neck.

Zhu Chengjun shook his head, feeling sorry and sad for the four of them: "You hand over 500,000 yuan this time, Our Lady of Pear Blossom asks you to hand over 600,000 yuan next time, 700,000 yuan next time, and next time next time, where do you find so much silver to pay for it, once you can't complete the task, can she remember your past merits and reduce the punishment for you?" ”

Xu Jing and others were touched to their hearts by Zhu Chengjun's words, and they had always subconsciously thought that the master had the grace of nurturing them, and they should repay them even if they spent their lives, but later they felt more and more that the master did not have much master-apprentice affection for them at all, and some were just cold orders and uses.

"You dare to provoke the affection between our master and apprentice." The dagger in Sun Qi's hand cut a shallow bloody line at Zhu Chengjun's neck, and tiny red blood beads slowly slid down the blade.

"Senior sister, let go." Xu Jing ordered.

"Senior sister......" Sun Qi reluctantly removed the dagger.

Zhu Chengjun knew that his words had completely torn apart the suspicion between their master and apprentice, as long as the Lady of Pear Blossom continued to exert pressure on them and squeeze them ruthlessly, the already fragile master-apprentice relationship would always break one day.

"What do you want to do with this money?" Xu Jing dispelled the idea of handing over the money.

"Senior sister...... How should we explain it to the master. This is a blatant deception of the master, thinking of the punishment methods of the master in the past, Han Yue still has palpitations.

He was right...... Right. Chen Xuan nodded weakly and groaned slowly.

Seeing that the four female rakshasas had reached an agreement, Zhu Chengjun wiped the numb wound and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you be unable to explain in front of Our Lady of Pear Blossom." I think what Our Lady of Ewha values more than a huge sum of money is that there is a steady stream of silver coming in, but this silver, I hope you will rot it in the bottom of your heart. ”

Xu Jing and the four girls exchanged glances and nodded slightly.

Seeing the expressions of the four women, Zhu Chengjun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and it was not easy to say that it was not easy to move these four female rakshasas who had been brainwashed since they were young.

"Tuk-tuk." Xu Xiao knocked on the car door twice and shouted softly, "Big brother, I'm home." ”

Zhu Chengjun glanced at Xu Jing and the others, who were full of emotion, and said, "Don't pin all your hopes on one person, it's time for you to plan for your future." ”

Jumping out of the carriage and walking into the door of the mansion, Zhu Chengjun turned his head and glanced at the four girls who were still staying in the carriage, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile that had succeeded in sowing discord. There was a crack inside the fortress, and it was only a matter of time before it collapsed, and Zhu Chengjun firmly believed that this day would come sooner or later.
