"It only takes three days at most. Even if the King of England can wait, the people who have lost their jobs will definitely not be able to wait."
Yanjing Finance Department Yamen is still in the same inconspicuous room.
Wang Dong, the minister of Dali Temple, made the same judgment as Du Rong.
At this time, Li Huairen, the Minister of Punishment, asked with some worry: "Are you really sure that the King of England does not dare to do anything to those businessmen?"
"If the King of England becomes ruthless and directly arrests those businessmen and confiscates their property, he will naturally be able to support those mud-legged people."
"This kind of thing..." After a pause, Li Huairen lowered his voice and deceived himself: "They do it a lot."
The people here are naturally the brothers Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han.
When the army first started.
Zhu Han and his brother often did things like killing the rich and giving to the poor.
Although the people they killed were those who were rich and unkind and deserved what they deserved.
However, in the eyes of these scholars, they are still called bandits.
Wang Dong smiled confidently and said decisively: "Absolutely not!"
Everyone felt a little unconvinced. Why was Wang Dong so confident?
Duan Ranxing, the Minister of Finance, asked politely: "Master Wang, are your words too absolute? How do you know that His Royal Highness really does not dare to do anything to those businessmen?"
Wang Dong looked at Duan Ranxing with a strange look.
It felt like looking at a mentally retarded person.
Duan Ranxing was furious: "Wang Dong, what do you mean? Did I say something wrong?"
Wang Dong, the minister of Dali Temple, sighed quietly: "Sometimes I feel very strange. With your knowledge, how did you become the Minister of Finance? Even if you are a straw bag, your stomach should not be full of straw. Bar."
Being ridiculed in front of so many people, Duan Ranxing, the Minister of Finance, immediately exploded.
Not caring about the dignity of the civilized minister, he rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards Wang Dong with bared teeth and claws.
"I kill you!"
Seeing this, people around him hurriedly stopped Duan Ranxing.
When a person is extremely angry, his power becomes terrifying.
Even a guy like Duan Ranxing has no power to restrain a chicken.
In such a rage, the three of them were unable to hold him back for a moment.
Facing Duan Ranxing, who was arrogant and arrogant, Wang Dong was very calm and stood there swaggering without any intention of hiding.
"That's enough! What do you think this is, a vegetable market?" The Minister of Civil Affairs couldn't bear it anymore and suppressed all the commotion with an angry roar.
He is worthy of being a heavenly official of the Ministry of Personnel, and his majesty is really not an exaggeration.
"Wang Dong, if you have anything to do, just say it directly, don't always take others along."
"Duan Ranxing, please stop your temper. Don't look at what time it is now. Is there any need for a little quarrel to get to this point?"
This Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who has mastered the art of balance, directly plays fifty big boards each.
Everyone stopped angrily.
Seeing that they had calmed down, the Minister of Rites continued to say to Wang Dong: "Just tell me what is going on."
Wang Dong was really in a daze this time. Duan Ranxing didn't know whether he could understand it, but the Minister of Civil Affairs didn't understand it either?
He seemed to think too highly of these people.
Sighing, Wang Dong said helplessly: "The purpose of your Royal Highness coming here is to build Yanjing, not to fight."
"From what His Royal Highness the King has done in the past, can't you see what's going on?"
All the officials in the six departments of Yanjing shook their heads in unison.
Although Wang Dong knew that this was the most likely reaction, he still found it extremely ridiculous.
Even though the Six Departments of Yanjing were just decorations and did not undertake many real official duties of the court.
But they are still six ministers after all.
Once something happens to a certain department on Yingtian's side, they might be able to take over directly.
Even if this possibility is very low, it is not completely impossible.
But based on their abilities...
"Everyone, if His Royal Highness goes on a killing spree in Yanjing and bleeds these businessmen into rivers, how many businessmen in the world would dare to continue to come to Yanjing?"
"Without those businessmen, who would have built the huge projects planned by His Royal Highness?"
"Is it possible that we should continue to host it as before?"
"If this is really the case, wouldn't His Royal Highness have a busy schedule?"
"So, for whatever reason, His Royal Highness will never kill those businessmen. He needs these people to do things for him."
The six ministers of Yanjing looked like they suddenly understood.
Li Huairen laughed: "The truth is actually very simple, but we didn't think about it in that way before."
The Minister of Rites next to him also nodded in agreement: "We can conquer the world immediately, but we cannot rule the world immediately. After all, managing and fighting is different."
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel also nodded slightly: "It seems that although His Royal Highness the King of England has a humble background, he has a relatively long-term vision."
Other officials also expressed their opinions.
"It seems that as Mr. Wang said, if His Royal Highness does not want his plan to fail, he may have no choice but to bow to those businessmen."
"If it cannot be resolved as soon as possible and those people cannot survive, it may even trigger a riot. If this is the case, His Majesty the King of England will not only have no merit, but have made a mistake."
The Minister of Rites put on a look of compassion, shook his head and sighed: "It's hard for the people to prosper, and it's hard for the people to die. What a pity..."
"If His Royal Highness had not acted on his own will, these people would not have ended up in the situation they are in today."
Look at the upright and awe-inspiring looks of these people.
If you don't know, you might really think that this matter has nothing to do with them.
The day passed quietly.
The atmosphere in Yanjing City seemed to be becoming more and more tense.
There were even some conflicts between the locals of Yanjing and the ordinary people who came to Yanjing to look for work.
Fortunately, Jingzhao Yin Zhouliang did his duty and kept sending people to patrol the surrounding area, and found some signs of something wrong in time and stopped them.
The majesty of the imperial court was still very intimidating to ordinary people.
It's just that as time goes by, things become more and more.
Jing Zhaoyin's manpower was beginning to be insufficient.
A construction site in the west of the city.
This place seems to have become a small independent world, and the relaxed atmosphere seems to be in sharp contrast to the entire Yanjing city.
Many workers are working hard and shirtless.
Preparing the reinforced concrete frame, pouring concrete, etc. are all proceeding in an orderly manner.
Were it not for the fact that these people are all dressed in period costumes, and many of the tools look like they were meant to be primitive.
I'm afraid some people believe that this is a modern construction site.
Everywhere there are special people.
This is the case with Zhao Da.
If an ordinary person can carry one or two bags of cement, it is already quite remarkable.
And this guy can easily carry six bags of cement by himself, and he can also run very fast.
It is difficult for ordinary people to push the wheelbarrow used to transport cement mud.
This guy Zhao Da can pick it up and walk away as easily as he carries a basin.
In short, no matter where he goes, the work in that place will be greatly alleviated.
Liu Jiyang, who was supervising the work on the construction site, was grinning so much that his ears reached to his ears.
"Haha, I really found a treasure this time. This Zhao Da can stand up to at least thirty people by himself."
This is of course a relatively exaggerated statement.
However, it is not all praise for Zhao Da. Mainly because there was no heavy equipment during this period.
Many things require workers to carry them on their shoulders.
In this case, Zhao Da, a tall and strong guy, really plays a greater role in some places than dozens of people.
However, Liu Jiyang's smile was not always so bright.
Just like...
While eating.
Zhao Da's food intake is completely proportional to his terrifying physical strength.
Even if it is not as good as thirty people, it is at least as good as ten people.
Liu Jiyang stood next to the rice bucket, staring directly at Zhao Da who was loading rice for him.
It looked as if his eyes were about to pop out.
Even a slow guy like Zhao Da felt uncomfortable and said with some embarrassment: "Master, did I eat too much? If you think I eat too much, just tell me, I will... after……"
The words "eat less" are like a thousand pounds pressing on your lips, and you can't open your mouth no matter what.
With an ugly smile on his face, Liu Jiyang gritted his teeth and said word by word: "No...it's okay...you people do all physical work. How can you have the strength to work if you don't eat well?"
"You should feel free to eat boldly. Don't tell me that you only eat this amount now. Even if you eat twice as much, the business will be able to support you, so just eat."
"Really?" Zhao Da was all excited: "Master, how do you know that I usually don't have enough to eat?"
"I'm afraid that if I eat too much, you will dislike me and drive me away."
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Da took out a large portion of rice with a wooden spoon. The rice piled up into a small mountain in his bowl.
Liu Jiyang now wants to slap himself for being loud. You said it was all right and you just had nothing to say. Now it's better, and you can eat a lot more.
After everyone had eaten and drank, they casually found a place under the shade of a tree to lie down and rest.
Zhao Da touched his round belly with a happy look on his face.
There is no way, he is really satisfied here.
Not only was the salary given to him more than twice as much as before. The most important thing is that a free meal is provided at noon.
The place where they live is the Datongpu built for them at the construction site. Although the environment is not very good, and with so many people living together, there is an endless stream of people grinding their teeth, snoring, farting and talking in their sleep, but there is one biggest advantage.
for free.
The most important thing is, the more you do here, the more you earn.
As long as you work hard, making money is not easy.
Because of this, when Zhao Da works every day, he is like a hard-working bee and never stops.
Humming an unknown tune, Zhao Da quickly fell into a dream.
I don't know how long it took, but I vaguely felt that someone was coming next to me.
Suddenly he woke up and realized that it was Wang Hu.
"What were you doing just now? Why didn't I see you while eating? Let me tell you, the food in the cafeteria at noon today..."
With that said, Zhao Da began to tell Wang Hu what good food was available in the canteen at noon.
Normally Wang Hu would also echo a few sentences.
Today, he was not in such a mood, but said worriedly: "I don't know how long our good life can last."
Zhao Da understood what his brother was capable of, and immediately panicked when he heard what he said.
"Brother Wang Hu, what do you mean by this? Is something going to happen?"
Wang Hu sighed: "The situation outside is getting worse and worse. Many people like us have finally made some money, but now I'm afraid it will all be spent soon. If something unexpected happens by then, the consequences will be disastrous."
Zhao Da's eyes widened and he swore: "Brother Wang Hu, don't worry, as long as I, Zhao Da, am here, I will never let anyone hurt my boss or you."
"This place is different from before. The bosses are all good people, and I will also protect the construction site."
As soon as he heard Zhao Da's words, Wang Hu knew that he still didn't understand.
"Brother, you don't understand. The current situation is very bad. If chaos really breaks out, the prince may be implicated. If something happens to the prince, our boss may not be easy either."
"At that time, my boss will probably have no choice but to fire us."
Zhao Da fell silent.
He has inexhaustible natural powers, but he doesn't know where to use them.
"Forget it...it's useless to think about it now. This is not something that the two of us can decide. Anyway, let's live it one day at a time."
Neither of them noticed that there was a person on the big tree where they were shaded from the sun that happened to hear their conversation.
"It's interesting that just two villagers can have such knowledge."
Three days flew by.
King Zhu Han of England seems to have shown no sign of doing anything.
It was as if the common people who were busy with Yanjing's business, and the businessmen and officials who were giving him a hard time didn't exist.
Shen Baer dug into his purse for a long time, but in the end he only took out two cents.
Unwilling to give up, he turned his money bag over completely to see if there was any money that he had neglected.
Naturally, he was disappointed. There was nothing left except some dust.
Not to mention the expensive city of Yanjing, this money can hardly buy anything even in the countryside.
Shen Baer's eyes gradually became desperate.
"It seems that we can only go back to the village." If he had not joined those construction sites and walked around the bustling Yanjing City a few times, Shen Baer might not have much nostalgia for this place.
But after what he had experienced, it was difficult for Shen Baer to return to his previous life, where he was inferior to pigs and dogs.
The house their family lived in was not even as spacious as the toilets in some places in Yanjing.
But no matter how unwilling you are, now that there are no jobs here, you can only go back.
Otherwise, you can't starve yourself to death, right?
