"Missing?" Listening to Li Fangyuan's reply, Shen Gu and the others were stunned. As the sixth child expected, they heard that His Royal Highness had given them the cabins of ten ships of the Iron Window Faction, and they couldn't sit still when they boarded, so they came to ask for benefits for the Returning Faction.

Unexpectedly, His Highness didn't even see them. Shocked, the former lost his voice and asked, "Why?" ”

"If you don't see it, you don't see it, how can there be so many why?" Li Fangyuan scolded angrily: "There are no rules! ”

"Oh......" Shen Rong thought he understood, and quickly took out a gold coin and stuffed it into the other party's hand. But he was thrown to the ground by the little stick, and scolded with a black face: "Treat me as someone!" ”

Only then did Shen Rong remember that the other party was the godgrandson of His Royal Highness, and now the son of the regent of Goryeo, so he naturally regarded money as dung.

The two hurriedly apologized, and asked hard, and the little stick said lightly: "My grandfather is very angry, and the consequences are very serious." ”

"Ah......" Shen Gu and the others turned pale, and they stood at the gate of the palace for a long time before they lost their souls and left.

Seeing the two walk away, Li Fangyuan stepped on the gold coin on the ground with one foot. "Why didn't you take these two people?"

He muttered to himself, bent down to pick it up, and tucked it into his sleeve. "I'll take it first, and I'll give it back to them."

The guards at the gate of the palace looked stupid, and this little stick that was both standing and standing was shameless. I don't know if he's an exception, or are the Koreans so shameless?

~~

Over there, Shen Gu and the others walked on the cold and wind-soaked street, falling into great panic.

There is a saying that 'only after losing do you know how to cherish', and the two of them can make a comeback, all thanks to the support of His Royal Highness the King of Chu. Now that His Highness is gone, the two of them are very worried, will everything that has been lost and regained be lost again?

Shen Rong was puzzled, since the day he asked His Highness, he had been conscientious, without the slightest slackness, and had never done anything to be sorry for His Highness. He casually asked, "Old Gu, is there something wrong with you?" ”

"......" Gu Yuanchen's face was very ugly, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Shen Rong was furious, grabbed him by the collar, and asked, "Say, what good things have you done?" ”

"You let go first!" Gu Yuanchen broke free of Shen Rong's hand, straightened his collar, and said gloomily: "I won't do it if I die, I'm sorry for His Highness." But what do I do if someone else wants to do it? ”

"Let's make it clear!"

"In the past few months, the subcontractors of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau have not been very honest." Gu Yuanchen sighed and said: "They think that labor is too expensive and refuse to follow the wage increase, so many workers have jumped to the side of the iron window faction." ”

"If they can't complete the order of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, how can they pay the difference?" Shen Rong's seven orifices are flues.

"Buy it from the Iron Window faction with food stamps." Gu Yuanchen said weakly: "They pay half a percent more than the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, and the Iron Window faction needs food stamps, so they will naturally sell it to them." ”

"Take the food stamps given by the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, buy silk from the Iron Window faction at a premium, and pay the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau?!" Shen Rong was stunned when he heard this. "What the hell is this?"

"What else can I do? I just don't have confidence in food stamps, for fear that when the year comes, all of them will become waste paper. Gu Yuanchen said with a sad face: "I can't convince them, and besides, they all pay on time, and I, the special manager of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, have nothing to say." ”

"You are confused, this situation should be reported to His Highness as soon as possible!" Shen Rong stomped his feet and said, "Your Highness is angry with us, mostly because we didn't report it, and as a result, we suffered for them." ”

"Alas, they are all old brothers who have carried stones and suffered together, and I am thinking that I can explain the past in all aspects, so I will turn a blind eye and forget it." Gu Yuanchen also regretted it and said: "How do you want His Highness to know everything?" ”

"Isn't this nonsense, haven't you heard that His Highness has a brocade guard in his hand, and he is pervasive?" Shen Rong said angrily: "Besides, they actually made a deal with the Iron Window Sect, and they reported them without looking back?" Do you still keep them for the New Year?! ”

"Alas, I didn't expect it to be so serious, just a harmless little measure." Gu Yuanchen said in frustration: "I really deserve to die, I have betrayed His Highness's trust." ”

"It's not damn bad, but it's true that I betrayed His Highness's trust." Shen Rong said with a dark face: "Some people, His Highness uses his ability; Some people use His Royal Highness his loyalty, whether we are the former or the latter, you know in your own heart. Without the trust of His Highness, what else can you have? ”

"You don't have to say it, I get it." Gu Yuanchen gritted his teeth, stomped his feet and said: "I'll go to the gate of the palace to ask for guilt, if Your Highness doesn't forgive, I'll kneel to death!" ”

As he spoke, he turned around, returned the same way, and knelt straight outside the gate of the palace.

After a while, Shen Rong also came over and knelt down with him.

"Brother Rongfu, you didn't make a mistake, why don't you ......" Gu Yuanchen's eyes were red when he landed.

"Don't say anything, let's get over this level first." Shen Rong sighed.

~~

In the palace, Li Heng, the prefect of Suzhou, was reporting to His Royal Highness the location of several palaces in his primary election on a map of Suzhou City.

The palaces of other vassal kings were all built by the political envoys of a province and supervised by the prince's father-in-law. But this is Nanzhili, there is no provincial-level administrative unit, and His Royal Highness does not have an old man, so he can only worry about Governor Li.

"The subordinates initially chose three places, one is the old rule of Suzhou in the center of the city, which is located in the center, upwind and water, and the location is the best, but the subordinates also have to explain to His Royal Highness that it was originally where Zhang Shicheng's palace was located, and later Wei Guan wanted to move the palace there, and was later impeached, saying that he 'destroyed the foundation of the king', and was beheaded in half."

"......" Zhu Zhen only gave a one-word evaluation.

At this time, the little stick came in and reported in a low voice: "Grandpa Shen Rong Gu Yuanchen knelt outside." ”

"If you love to kneel, kneel down." The sixth snorted and said to Li Heng, "You continue." ”

"The other place is the northeast of the state city," Li Heng said with a cursive neck, "that there is relatively empty, which can meet the regulations for building a royal palace." The disadvantage is that the terrain is somewhat low-lying, and many ponds and ditches need to be leveled before the foundation can be raised. ”

"Not good, not good." The sixth shook his head resolutely and said: "Back then, the old man of my family just listened to my master's nonsense, filled up the Yanque Lake, and built the palace on it. The result is good, the tide is all year round, can you believe that mushrooms can grow under the bed? ”

"Is this so serious?" Li Heng sneered: "Then there is only the third place left, the northwest of the state city." The terrain over there is higher, there is no risk of dampness, and the feng shui is also good, but it is densely populated, and tens of thousands of residents need to be moved to meet the needs of the royal land. ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" The sixth child also gasped: "This king wants to demolish tens of thousands of households to build a palace, this kind of thing can't be done." ”

"According to the regulations, the circumference of the prince's mansion is three miles, three hundred and nine steps, and five minutes. It is 150 zhang 2 inches and 2 minutes wide from east to west, and 197 zhang 2 inches and 5 minutes long from north to south. Suzhou is densely populated and the city is narrow, so it is too difficult to find a piece of land that meets the regulations of the prince's palace without disturbing the people. Li Heng smiled bitterly.

"Do you have to build a palace in the city?" Zhu Zhen asked rhetorically: "Isn't it okay to build outside the city?" ”
