With the departure of Ping Nanhou.
The guests at the Zhenbei Hou Mansion began to arrive in a steady stream.
Some are discussing ordering a waterwheel, some are thinking of cooperating with a large number of flour grinders, and some are planning to name the next novel tool!
Although Chu Feng was a little anxious, he still started taking action according to the original plan.
The first thing is to build roads. If you want to get rich, build roads first. Chu Feng deeply understands this principle!
Therefore, Chu Feng directly ordered large quantities of the best slates from all the stone factories around the capital! He even encouraged his own farmers to come over and start working!
The wages are twice their usual wages! Make it clear: one day at a time!
And for lunch, the spicy noodles are enough!
The stone road more than ten meters wide goes directly from the capital to Zhuangzi, Zhenbei Hou Mansion, which is a full twenty or thirty miles. It is considered a huge project!
What everyone didn't expect was that the sections of this road actually had names!
Every once in a while, a big signboard will be erected on the roadside, which reads: "Yingou Road" or "Jinxiu Road", "Zhenbao Road" and finally "Zuixiang Road!"
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that these are famous shops in the capital, even gambling houses and flower houses, all of which are paid for.
On this road, I pressed my name! Euphemistically saying: "This is an advertisement!"
The young masters in many families are envious and jealous. Chu Feng, who was a prodigal in the past, woke up this time and really got enlightened. He actually learned how to make money!
Others spend huge sums of money to build roads, but he blatantly makes money by building roads! Who can I talk to to reason with you?
Chu Feng ignored those who were criticizing him. He wore a homemade safety helmet and walked naked in the engineering team, looking here and there.
The euphemistic name is: Supervise the work personally, and then half an hour later, the person disappears.
Hiding in the gentle countryside of Wu Dadong's house, he happily enjoyed the service of beautiful women like jade. Sometimes I would quietly pull Yue'er, Xue'er, and Ling'er to play mahjong together. As for Shuang'er, she is still obsessed with Tai Chi!
"Hey, touch a dragon! Kiss each person three times!"
Chu Feng proudly pushed the mahjong in his hand, then reached out to hug Yue'er who was about to run away, and kissed her hard.
The beautiful Yue'er reluctantly twisted her body and accepted her fate. She was willing to admit defeat. Who knows that she had already won dozens of silver cakes from the young master!
Xueer was so kissed that she collapsed in the young master's arms, letting the young master plunder her hot body.
At this time, Chu Feng had no scruples in front of these beauties! Except not being able to really take off my clothes, I can do everything I need to do!
Of course, Chu Feng did not force everyone, but several beautiful slaves had already made secret promises. Even Leng Shuang'er was always taken advantage of by Chu Feng, and her little mouth was used to kissing her!
As the saying goes: when there are many people, work is easier, especially stone paving, which is a laborious job with little technical content!
The workers in the front began to smooth the road, the workers in the middle planned and measured the width and arranged the route, and the workers in the back were responsible for installing the stones piece by piece!
The process was simple and smooth.
Of course, at the end, craftsmen still need to repair the gaps and borders.
However, there are too many workers, so each section is separated, and the speed is really fast!
Especially at noon, when there is enough oil and noodles, the wages will be paid on the same day! Workers are highly motivated!
There are even many students from poor families who come to help earn money!
A few days later, Li Er felt happy when he walked on the new stone road! I was also very emotional. I really didn’t expect that this road was built by that brat Chu Feng!
All civil and military officials also lamented that the dandy suddenly turned into a golden rooster. They used to look down on this guy, but now they post their own posts, and they still can’t see this guy. They just heard: This guy never went to Zuixiang again. Lou was drinking wine, but he had a heated fight with shopkeeper Wu Da.
Hey, as expected, this boy is much smarter. How can those so-called pure hermits play with the pretty little widow... Bah, I am an official in Daliang! How could it be so nasty?
"Gongsun Lao Aiqing, and Wu Aiqing, I heard that you have also developed an agricultural god? One is called Zhongda Waterwheel, and the other is Lao Shangshu Watermill. The common people appreciate your merits!"
Li Er said with a smile, but his eyes were very sharp. How dare these two guys steal my reputation! I am the father-in-law of that brat, so that merit should belong to me!
"Plop" "Plop"
Gongsun Ban and Wu Junxian immediately knelt down, and the old man Gongsun shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I am so ashamed of myself. I just gave a piece of money to support the prince-in-law of Chu, and then made a water mill that can turn wheat into treasure." Ah! In fact, most of the credit is due to Chu’s consort! I don’t dare to take credit for it, Your Majesty.”
Wu Junxian quickly followed suit and gave most of the credit to Chu Feng!
This made Li Er satisfied, and said with a smile: "The two beauties are indeed very discerning, but since it is you who provide the financial support, then the funding is meritorious! The names of the waterwheel and the watermill do not need to be changed! Moreover, I came across a small game toy a few days ago, which is not only fun to relieve stress, but also can practice military skills, and I will reward it to you later."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
Gongsun Ban and Wu Junxian hurriedly shouted loudly and felt relieved. Now that His Majesty no longer blames him, the matter of such reputation is settled!
"My dear friends, do you think I should give my good son-in-law a little responsibility? This brat is so capable. Wouldn't it be a waste to leave him idle?"
Li Er put his hands behind his back and stepped on the new flat stone road, feeling happy. This son-in-law is really good!
Because of that chess game, the queen seemed to have returned to her youthful days. After the chess game, she would always pester her in bed...
"Your Majesty, I heard that this year's magistrate of Shanglin County quietly resigned from office again! I feel that the Prince Consort of Chu is young and promising, especially in business and innovation, and has made great achievements, so why not just Let the Prince Consort of Chu serve as the magistrate of Shanglin County so that the people there can live a good life!"
Dong Yongli, the Minister of Rites, bowed and started to play.
At the same time, he glanced at Prince Ning who was not far away, as if to say: "My lord, what you told me to do, I did it!"
"Absolutely not! In the past two years, more and more toxic black soil has emerged in Shanglin County, making the people there miserable. It is definitely the most difficult place to manage near the capital. Although Chu Consort is young, he is talented. But I don’t have any experience in management. If anything goes wrong, Your Majesty will lose a great talent! Your Majesty!”
Gongsun Lao Shangshu hurriedly bowed and started to play. He felt that it was necessary to help Chu Feng. Maybe the Gongsun family still needed Chu Feng's novel creation!
"Your Majesty, I feel that the old minister is a bit conservative. Shanglin County only produced some black soil, but it is not that it produced ruthless bandits! Moreover, your Majesty was so noble back then. Didn't he kill the enemy in battle? Including the Queen's sister-in-law, then She was also a fierce female general! Besides, the Prince Consort of Chu is also a versatile civil and military person. Everyone has seen it with his own eyes: The Prince Consort even beat the king’s ineffective son until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen! That’s why the Prince Consort was allowed to go to Shanglin County to train the Prince Consort. Ability! And colleagues, don’t forget that the Prince Consort’s father is the number one God of War in Daliang! As the saying goes, a son inherits his father’s legacy, so the Prince Consort will definitely be brave enough to win the three armies!”
Prince Ning no longer hid in his shadow and simply stood up to talk.
Many people who wanted Chu Feng to stay in the capital suddenly fell silent. Apparently, King Ning still resented Chu Feng's victory over his son Li Hui!
And everyone heard: Li Hui seems to have been in a state of depression after returning home. He drinks for fun all day long and is beaten many times by Prince Ning, but he still doesn’t get better!
Li Er frowned, looked at the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, and asked in a deep voice: "Cai Aiqing, what's going on with the black soil in Shanglin County? Why don't I know about it? Why has no one reported it in the past two years?"
Cai Peiyuan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, was so frightened that he immediately knelt down. At the same time, all the officials in the Ministry of Revenue also knelt down, including several supervisory censors.
"Your Majesty, I have just learned that black soil appeared in Shanglin County years ago, and the black soil seems to be getting bigger. Especially after every heavy rain, the yellow soil is washed away by the rain, and more black soil appears. The black soil. However, the old minister has already found a suitable place and is preparing to move all of Shanglin County."
Cai Peiyuan squatted on the ground and said loudly.
"You want to move them all? Wu Junxian, do you know the specific situation of Shanglin County? Tell me carefully."
Li Er's eyes fell on Wu Junxian, the Minister of Household Affairs.
