Hearing Lu Chen say this, the others immediately looked at Zhao Dahu quite nervously.

Although this uncle is a good person, he is too straightforward and has no heart, if he accidentally asks some questions that should not be asked, and annoys this young and unspeakable big man, then they will be finished.

Under the nervous gaze of several people, Zhao Dahu asked in a slightly trembling tone: "My lord, you... Did you ever say... People... The people are precious, and the people are water or something? ”

Lu Chen thought for a moment, and then said directly: "Mingui Junqing? The people are the water, and the king is the boat? ”

Zhao Dahu nodded vigorously: "Yes, Erhu seems to have said so!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen vaguely remembered something.

I remember that when Xia Yan's No. 3 backstabbing guy was tried, several Yongchuan people who made a special trip from Yongchuan County to deliver the book of the people in order to save Xia Yan seemed to be called Erhu.

However, this little thing seemed to be nothing to care about, so he didn't think much about it, nodded directly, and admitted:

"Well, this is what the official said."

When the words fell, Zhao Dahu breathed a heavy sigh of relief as if he had confirmed something, and then said the questions that Lu Chen had just asked.

The people who were conscripted into labor had to work for nine out of twelve hours a day, and each person had a daily workload, and if it was less than that, the food would be cut according to the small amount, and then it would be more difficult to finish the work if they could not fill their stomachs, and they could only watch the food gradually decrease.

Then, if there is no family to deliver food, you will basically die of exhaustion or starve to death on the construction site.

There is indeed a reward for completing the workload, but the reward is just an extra bowl of so-called broth that can not see the slightest bit of oil and water, as for the food provided by the government, it is even more indescribable, they have not tried once without eating sand, the so-called thick porridge, so "thick" that it is almost difficult to stand up with chopsticks, and the cake given can almost be used as a blunt weapon to kill people, and only a small piece.

Eat less, work more, and if you don't do well, you have to be beaten and starved, even if you do well, there is almost no reward, the rest time is short, and even the toilet has a strict time limit, and more than it is a stick and an iron whip.

Sometimes the officials are in a bad mood, such as losing money, such as failing to become a certain girl or a rabbit, or the guest of the first scene, and they will find all kinds of excuses to vent their anger.

The project of repairing and arranging the Xinyuan Grand Ceremony of Wuji Palace has started until now, and in just over a month, Zhao Dahu alone knows that there are no less than ten servants who died unexpectedly.

After listening to his story, Lu Chen's heart became heavier and heavier.

In ancient times, labor was really a more deadly thing than taxes......

Then he looked up and looked at the scars on the bodies of several people, apparently from the whipping, and a flash of wrieg flashed in his eyes.

Working for free, you have to endure the oppression of officials, and if you are unlucky, your life will be explained here.

In ancient society, human life was like a mustard.

In comparison, modern society is simply a fairyland on earth.

Moreover, the people of Central Continent are also threatened by evil cultivators, evil cults, demon beasts, natural disasters, spiritual disasters, etc., maybe when an evil cultivator who kills people everywhere because he has cultivated some kind of exercise that needs to dig out the marrow and devour the heart, passing by, the people of an entire area will all die tragically.

Compared to this, the ancient society before he traveled through it didn't seem so bad.

"Your Excellency..."

Seeing that Lu Chen was silent, Lin Feng asked with some trepidation, "Do you have anything else to ask?" ”

Lu Chen suddenly came back to his senses, then shook his head and said, "No." ”

As he spoke, he stood up directly, patted the dust on the back swing, and then stretched out his hand to stop Zhao Dahu and them from getting up, and said to them to take a good rest, then turned around and walked towards another construction site.

Then he probably toured the entire Wuji Palace.

It seems that the renovation work and the arrangement of the New Yuan Festival are already halfway through, and at this rate, it should be completed before the New Yuan Festival.

Of course, the premise is that everything goes smoothly and there are no twists and turns in between.

Finally, Lu Chen came to the warehouse where all kinds of things such as spirit stones, special stones from Tianhe Mansion, talismans, etc. were placed.

Several servants followed him.

"Lord Lu."

One of the officials said with a smile: "Although the treasury is not dirty, but all kinds of spiritual things inside are piled up, and the surrounding spiritual energy may be a little abnormal, not only may it hurt adults, but it may also affect the spiritual roots of adults, and there are many ...... inside."

"Full of nonsense, why don't you write a book and talk about it?"

Lu Chen snorted lightly and said categorically:

"Less nonsense, what about the spirit key? Hurry up and open the warehouse door for this official! ”

Seeing that Lu Chen was so strong, several people had no choice but to do so.

But when they opened the door, two of them gave each other a look inexplicably.

Click...

The heavy warehouse door opened, and Lu Chen walked in without hesitation, and then walked straight to the place where the spirit stones were piled up, took out one of the blue spirit stones piled up into a small mountain bag at random, then closed his eyes, and carefully sensed it with his spiritual power.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Yes, the spiritual power is pure, and it is a high-grade spirit stone."

Hearing this, the eyes of several small officials relaxed slightly, and then one of the small officials said with a smile: "Of course, this is something used in the palace, and the quality will naturally not be bad, otherwise Your Majesty will blame it, and no one can afford it......"

Another small official also continued: "And the spirit stones in the palace have always been provided by the Yan State Mansion, the Yan State Mansion has been loyal and good for generations, and the Yan Guo Princes of the past dynasties have been loyal to the imperial court, and they have great respect for His Majesty, how can they do such a disrespectful thing as shoddy?" ”

"Yes, Yan Guogong is absolutely trustworthy, it is said that every spirit stone supplied to the palace must be carefully confirmed by the nobles of the Yan Guo Mansion, and it is determined that it is a high-grade spirit stone before it will be transported to Jingshi."

Several people kept talking about Yan Guogong's good words, but they didn't notice that the corners of Lu Chen's mouth were slightly covered with a hint of meaning.

"The spirit stone is indeed good, but... A high-grade spirit stone with five hundred taels of silver, isn't it a bit outrageously expensive? ”

Hearing this, the voices of several people stopped abruptly.

Lu Chen threw the spirit stone back casually, and then continued: "Although it is normal for good things to be more expensive, but when this official was the governor of Yu and Sui Prefectures, he still knew about all kinds of prices. ”

"That, Lord Lu, don't you know..."

A small official said softly: "The spirit stone of this Yan Guo Mansion has a lot less impurities than ordinary high-grade spirit stones, and the spiritual power contained in it is also extremely pure, and the effect of using it to arrange the magic circle is ......."

Lu Chen smiled coldly: "Can it be twice as many top-grade spirit stones as other places?" ”

When the words fell, the faces of the little officials suddenly stiffened slightly.
