"Okay, okay, stop making trouble."
In the end, Yang Dong spoke up and stopped the farce.
Looking at the people who came with him from the capital in front of him, Yang Dong said seriously:
"After this trip to Wucheng, I plan to continue going north. But there are some tasks at hand, which I'm afraid I have to leave to you."
After hearing this, everyone's expressions were different.
Shen Laosan looked aggrieved and opened his mouth to speak; Zhu Qing looked eager to try, and took advantage of the situation to avoid the claws of his junior sister...
Only Tieniu looked unconcerned and only cared about kissing Magnolia in his arms.
"Shen Laosan, I have reached an agreement with the city lord of Wucheng. Your next task is to build a high-speed official road between Wucheng and the capital. Do you understand?"
"Building a high-speed official road in Youzhou??"
Shen Laosan opened his mouth wide, with disbelief written all over his face.
"Mr. Yang, are you kidding me? If nothing else, you should have felt it when you entered Youzhou, right? Where can you build a high-speed official road in those high mountains?"
"Even if we insist on building it, the time and labor required will be at least ten times that of Luozhou. I don't think any big bastard would choose to invest here."
Yang Dong did not open his mouth to refute, but smiled lightly and said:
"Shen Laosan, why don't you change your mind? Have you ever thought about why supplies are scarce and expensive in Youzhou?"
"If our highway can be built, do you know the profit?"
Shen Laosan followed Yang Dong's thoughts and fantasized. Suddenly his eyes became hot.
"If a high-speed official road can really be built, the profits will be incalculable! Moreover, it cannot transport the scarce cloth and tea leaves from Youzhou and even the grassland tribes, and it can also bring back the cattle and sheep of the grassland people. So Once we get there, we don’t have to worry about trade partners at all.”
Shen Laosan felt that there was a huge opportunity in front of him at this moment.
It's just... he's not sure whether this is a chance or a bottomless black pit.
"Shen Laosan, I want to ask you. If I am confident that this high-speed official road will be built within half a year, are you confident that you can bring all the merchants from Youzhou on board?"
Half a year?
Shen Laosan looked startled at first, and then began to show unstoppable ecstasy on his face.
He is a businessman, so he naturally knows that it contains huge profits.
If it can really be completed within half a year, then the entire structure of Youzhou will probably be rewritten. And Wucheng will become the most prosperous city in Youzhou.
"Mr. Yang, are you really sure?"
"When did I boast about Haikou?" 33
Yang Dong glanced at Shen Laosan lightly and continued:
"Don't worry. When the time comes, our guild will write a letter and ask Mr. Lanxiang Academy to lead a team to help build the highway."
Having said this, he seemed to have remembered something. He turned his head and looked at Zhuyu who was playing with the detonator in his hand and said:
"Zhuyu, you are very knowledgeable about detonator blasting. This time, you will be responsible for digging mountains and building roads together with the students of Lanxiang Academy."
Upon hearing this, Zhuyu, who was originally eager to try, suddenly withered like an eggplant beaten by frost.
"Mr. Yang... I really have no interest in building roads, and..."
Yang Dong was too lazy to pay attention to Zhuyu's nonsense. He only said four words and revived Zhuyu with full health, and also added a violent buff.
"Enough detonators!"
"Mr. Yang, it is my duty to be a violent lolita!"
After making arrangements for Shen Laosan and Zhu Yu, Yang Dong set his sights on Tieniu again.
"Tieniu, please take Yulan back to the capital this time."
Hearing this, Tieniu's face instantly flashed with anxiety.
"Mr. Yang, what do you mean by this? Is it because I, Tieniu, have delayed your affairs because of my affection for my children? I, Tieniu, can swear to God that I will never have any influence on our actions. And I I really like Sister Yulan, Mr. Yang, can you please be accommodating?"
"You kid, what are you talking about?"
Yang Dong kicked Tieniu on the butt angrily, and then continued:
"I asked you to return to the capital because I have two things to entrust to you. The first thing is to settle down Miss Yulan. Now that you have decided to take her in, you have to take on the responsibilities of a man, do you understand?"
"As for the second thing, I don't care what you can do. You must ask your master to take action and let him be responsible for protecting the safety of the workers during the construction of the highway."
"Whether your master needs money or anything else, you can tell me. As long as I can satisfy you, I will definitely satisfy you."
When Tieniu heard this, he was so moved.
How could he not know that Yang Gong asked him to return to the capital specifically to take care of him. After all, the road ahead is full of mixed forces from all sides, and the dangers are rising sharply. It's okay for me to say that, but Sister Yulan is just an ordinary person...
As for his master, the young uncle has already spoken. Master, he dares to say half a word "no"?
However, my master has always been lazy, so I have to find a way to make him work hard and do things for Mr. Yang.
Tieniu thought for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he said:
"Mr. Yang, there is no need for anything else. As long as you ask the aunt from the cafeteria of Lanxiang Academy to cook, my master will definitely take action."
Uh...that's okay too?
Yang Dong's mouth twitched, but he still nodded and said:
"Okay, you can figure it out yourself."
At this time, Zhu Qing couldn't hold himself back any longer. Just like last night in Yanfang Building, Shen Laosan and Tieniu both found their own happiness. I was alone and completely ignored. So he hurriedly asked:
"Mr. Yang, what about me? What are your plans for me?"
"As for you..."
Yang Dong touched his chin, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Zhuqing, have you traveled through the rivers and lakes in the past few years?"
Upon hearing this, a look of pride suddenly flashed across Zhu Qing's cheeks.
"To be honest, Mr. Yang, when I was in the martial arts world, I, Zhu Qing, was quite famous. Among the young heroes of the younger generation, I was known to everyone."
"Very good, then it's up to you to come forward this time to win over the chivalrous people in Youzhou."
"This matter is easy to handle, but..."
There was a hint of hesitation on Zhu Qing's cheek.
"Mr. Yang doesn't know something. Most of us children in the world don't care about the things outside of ourselves. But as humans, we always have to eat, drink, and defecate. So...ahem."
Yes, don’t you just need money?
If you don't care about things outside yourself, you are simply poor.
Yang Dong cursed for a while in his heart, but he still nodded and said:
"If you have enough money, you can win over me with peace of mind. However, I have a request for candidates. That is, they must be chivalrous and cannot kill ordinary people."
When Zhu Qing heard this, the expression on his face was solemn.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yang, I know what's going on."
Some people died, but not completely...
