In a closed city, after three rounds of drinking in a restaurant, Yao Qi and Yang Dong had a particularly lively chat. These days, he has been keeping an eye on the construction of the expressway and does not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Today, in Luozhou, there are twelve high-speed official roads being built at the same time. In a maximum of three years, all twelve high-speed official roads can be completed.
By then, various cities in Luozhou will be connected by high-speed official roads. Commodity trade in various places will be greatly circulated.
It can be said that high-speed official roads are a major event that benefits the country and the people. If Yao Qi succeeds, he will definitely leave his name in history.
However, Yang Dong frowned slightly when he heard the news.
"Twelve high-speed official roads will be constructed at the same time?"
"Master Yao, this operation of yours is really a big deal!"
"But... where did you get so much money?" Yang Dong never dreamed that Luozhou would have twelve high-speed official roads, and construction would begin at the same time.
After all, with the current situation of Dazhou, even if it builds two at the same time, it is already stretched.
Moreover, with the full support of Yang Dong and a group of merchants... building twelve high-speed official roads at once, even with Yang Dong's current wealth, he can only dream about it.
After all, the financial resources it consumed have even exceeded the affordability of Luozhou and even Dazhou. As the chief official of Fengcheng and even Luozhou, Yao Qi naturally understood the questions in Yang Dong's mind.
He hesitated for a moment and was about to speak when he saw Zhou Yu, who had been staying aside without any other action, suddenly stood up and walked to Yang Dong's side.
Sitting next to Yang Dong was the chief official of Fengcheng. After seeing Zhou Yu's actions, he almost subconsciously stood up and gave up his seat.
Zhou Yu sat down, took the initiative to pick up the teapot, and gave Yang Dong a cup of hot tea. Then he said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, you just drank a lot of wine, how about you drink a cup of tea to relieve the hangover?" Yang Dong looked calm, glanced at Zhou Yu beside him, and then turned his attention to Yao Qi.
When Yao Qi saw this, he just smiled bitterly and shook his head. Zhou Yu was clever and naturally noticed Yang Dong's little move just now.
I saw her smiling slightly, and her whole body was like a summer flower, bright and warm.
"Mr. Yang doesn't know that our Zhou family has always regarded serving the country as our responsibility."
"To be honest, eleven of the twelve official highways in Luozhou were built with money from our Zhou family." As soon as these words came out, the officials present did not even refute, but fell into confusion. In the silence, even Yao Qi, the chief official of Luozhou, was among them!
Yang Dong just glanced back and forth, and he could already see the signs in his heart. He smiled faintly, but did not accept the hot tea offered by Zhou Yu. Instead, he asked: "Since your Zhou family intends to serve the country, you will naturally inform your Majesty when I return to the capital. "
"I think with your Majesty's character, you cannot miss the reward for your Zhou family." After saying this, he put down his chopsticks, stood up and said, "Thank you for today's hospitality. I'm full, so I won't bother you anymore." After that, , he stood up and wanted to leave.
However, the next second, Zhou Yu took the initiative and stopped Yang Dong.
"Mr. Yang, don't be anxious. Actually, there is something that I haven't said yet." Damn, is this girl finished?
I'm too lazy to talk to you, so don't force me to do anything! Although you are good-looking and have a great figure.
But I am not the kind of casual person! While Yang Dong was complaining in his heart, he asked with an indifferent expression on the surface: "Speaking of which, what's the matter with you?" When Zhou Yu saw this, he just smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Yang doesn't know, our Zhou family It is indeed his duty to serve the country, but... he spent his own money to build these eleven high-speed official roads, but it has nothing to do with serving the country." When Yang Dong heard this, he nodded lightly, with no expression on his face.
"I understand, you are aiming for the right to operate the expressway!"
"When I was in Luozhou, I had already set the rules. Anyone who funds the construction of a highway can get the right to operate the highway for a few years."
"It's just... I don't know the exact amount of capital you invested and how many years you got it." Unexpectedly, when Zhou Yu heard this, he smiled again and shook his head.
"Mr. Yang has misunderstood. The Zhou family doesn't care about the mere operating rights. In fact, what the Zhou family cares about is not the official expressway, but you, Mr. Yang, who proposed the official expressway!" After hearing this, Yang Dong He couldn't help but smile slightly.
"I'm just doing something for Your Majesty, what's there to care about?" After saying that, he waved his hand casually and said, "That's all, I'm a little tired, so I'll leave first." However, as soon as he took a step forward, Zhou The rain stopped him again.
"Mr. Yang, to be honest, the Zhou family wants to cooperate with you."
"Huh? Cooperation?" Yang Dong stopped walking, with a bit of surprise in his eyes. In fact, since he arrived in Fengcheng, he began to think about the purpose of the Zhou family.
Under the noses of the empress and Lin Chunqiu, the Zhou family was able to secretly hide such a force.
I have to say that the Zhou family is worthy of being the former chief assistant, and there is indeed something about it. They have worked hard to hide their strength for many years. If they don't have any ambition, it is absolutely impossible.
It's just... Yang Dong is a little unsure about how far their ambition has expanded. But since it happened to me, I could give it a try.
So he stopped in his tracks and asked with great interest: "How do you, the Zhou family, want to cooperate? Why don't you tell us?" Who knew that when Zhou Yu heard this, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he took the initiative to stretch out his jade hand and pull it. He grabbed Yang Dong's sleeve and pulled him back to the table.
"Mr. Yang, don't be anxious. I will tell you the Zhou family's sincerity." As she spoke, she poured another cup of hot tea and sent it to Yang Dong.
Yang Dong hesitated for a moment, then finally took the teacup and took a sip. The hot tea enters the throat, bringing with it a refreshing fragrance.
There was a faint flash of light in Yang Dong's eyes, and then he asked: "Miss Zhou, if you have anything to say, why don't you just say it?" Seeing Yang Dong drinking tea, Zhou Yu instantly felt a lot more relaxed. .
But before she spoke, she still cast her gaze in Yao Qi's direction.
"Brother-in-law, Mr. Yang is a little tired." Yao Qi was slightly startled when he heard this. He hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said: "Why don't you let me take Mr. Yang back to the inn?"
"What are you talking about, brother-in-law!" Zhou Yu glanced at Yao Qi angrily, but there was a bit of coldness and warning in his eyes.
"Mr. Yang wants to discuss cooperation with our Zhou family. He is an honored guest of our Zhou family. Naturally, I should send him back."
