The two talked for a while, and Zheng Peng finally figured out the intention of Gao Lishi, in fact, he wanted to be entrusted by Li Longji to ask Zheng Peng what difficulties he had.

As early as the Qin Dynasty, in order to strengthen the control and rule of the northwest, Qin Shi Huang ordered to build a road leading to Jiuyuan County from Yunyang, that is, the Qin Straight Road, with a total length of more than 700 kilometers.

If you don't do it well, you can show your care for your courtiers and win people's hearts; If it is done well, it will also be a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and it will not suffer a loss.

"Feiteng, there are no outsiders here, just open your mouth if you have any difficulties." Colliers said generously.

Anyway, it's generous to others.

Zheng Peng's eyes lit up, and he said unceremoniously: "What is most lacking now is people, it is best to have talents with experience in road construction, Gonggong Gao, can you borrow some people from the Ministry of Industry?" ”

The profits of the winery alone are enough for Zheng Peng to squander, as well as the Three Treasures and many shops and properties, Zheng Peng's money is very considerable, not including Lu Shu's dowry and property, what is most lacking now is not money, but talents.

Road construction requires planning, surveying and drawing, all of which require professionals, and it is impossible for Zheng Peng to do all these things alone, and to be honest, Zheng Peng is not a talent in this area.

Gao Lishi waved his hand: "No, the Ministry of Engineering is in charge of the repair of the city, the repair of civil engineering, the program of craftsmen and other important tasks, such as tuntian, water conservancy must also be taken into account, it is the busiest department of the six departments, if this matter is led by the imperial court, it is good to say, now it is just your own idea, for you to transfer people from the Ministry of Engineering to assist, it will definitely not work to pass it on." ”

Zheng Peng said with a smile: "Then keep it secret, just don't spread it." ”

"Don't worry, our words haven't been finished yet" Gao Lishi said with a smile: "Last year, Xingzhou built a new official road, a little bad luck, just repaired soon after a heavy rainstorm, there was a section of the new official road collapsed, three dead and twelve injured, one of the dead is the son of the official eunuch, the matter is big, responsible for repairing this official road of the water department Wailang and a group of craftsmen were implicated, were enslaved, Feiteng can take them down, take them for their own use. ”

Before he came, Gao Lishi thought that Zheng Peng would mention this condition, and he had already made preparations.

"Are these things that can be done, or are they things that can't be done?" Zheng Peng asked with some unease.

Huaxia is a society of human feelings, both ancient and modern, there are many favors to be properly arranged, especially in the Tang Dynasty, which pays attention to the origin, the yamen is full of all kinds of eunuchs, and when others are working, they are responsible for shouting in the back, and they have merit and grab the credit in the front, Zheng Peng does not want to accept this kind of person.

"Hehe, if you can't do things and have a background, can you be a scapegoat?"

Zheng Peng said happily: "Great, please ask Grandpa Gao to help me make a reservation, this batch of people all wants." ”

The slave trade in the Tang Dynasty became popular, among which beautiful women and skilled craftsmen were the most popular, especially the craftsmen who flowed out of the Ministry of Industry were more sought-after.

"No need to order" Gao Lishi waved his hand and said: "People, our family has been taken, and I have always thought that our family has received a lot of favors from Feiteng, so this group of people should be a congratulatory gift for our family to celebrate Feiteng's victorious return." ”

Eunuchs are incomplete people, future generations don't have to think about it, most of them are interested in yellow and white things, Gao Lishi also likes yellow and white things, for his own name, a lot of filial piety can not be collected, and Zheng Peng also pulled Gao Lishi into the wine shop, every month is a dividend to get a soft hand, every New Year's festival can receive Zheng Peng's filial piety, Zheng Peng is naturally very satisfied.

That is, more than ten slaves, you can take it without a thousand guan, and you can send a gift that satisfies Zheng Peng with a thousand guan, which is worth it.

"Grandpa Gao is not an outsider, so I'm welcome."

"As it should be."

The two smiled at each other, and they had a tacit feeling.

Gao Lishi noticed Zheng Peng's dark circles under his eyes, and couldn't help laughing: "Feiteng, even young people should be restrained, so as not to hollow out their body bones, sometimes you can't just look at the present, maybe pay more attention to the surroundings, you will receive unexpected surprises." ”

As soon as I saw Zheng Peng's tired face, black circles in his eyes, and some lack of energy, I knew that the young man was unrestrained, and when he heard Zheng Peng tell Li Longji yesterday that "no queen is greater", he thought that Zheng Peng was working hard as an heir, and it was not good to say that he knew that Lan Duo was pregnant, so he could only give some tactful hints.

Zheng Peng didn't hear Gao Lishi's voice, thinking that he was concerned about his body, and said helplessly when he heard this: "Father-in-law Xie Gao cares, I will pay attention." ”

Talking about the big thing without a queen, in fact, it is lazy, not sincere, influenced by Xiaoice's promotion to motherhood, or may be encouraged by the cute appearance of the little nephew, Lu Shu and Lin Xun'er make up for Zheng Peng during the day, and change the way to tease at night, making Zheng Peng feel like "paying public grain".

Last night, Lin Xun'er was lying on the bed after some clouds and rain, lifting a pair of beautiful legs high, and refused to put it down for a long time, Zheng Peng was curious and asked why, but Lin Xun'er said a little shyly, this is the skill she asked an experienced old woman about, she can conceive a child faster, so Zheng Peng didn't know what to say for a long time.

Gao Lishi patted Zheng Peng on the shoulder and said: "Okay, our family should also go back to the palace, and go to the firearms department of the ordnance superintendent tomorrow, those craftsmen have not achieved much for so long, and the emperor has always attached great importance to the firearms superintendent." ”

"Understood, Gonggong Xie Gao pointed out."

Personally sent Gao Lishi out of the house, Zheng Peng was about to go back to the study to look at the map, to prepare for the construction of the first railway in the Tang Dynasty, just returned to the backyard, and saw Guo Ketang looking at himself with a smile, that smiling face, smiling as bright as a peach blossom.

Guo Ketang originally wanted to prevent the Guo family in Guixiang from crossing the river and demolishing the bridge and breaking with Zheng Peng, but after stopping it to no avail, he was not in a hurry to leave, Cui Xiyi's identity is special, and Guo Ketang, who married into Cui's mansion, does not have to serve the elderly, she also wants to see the lantern market of the Shangyuan Festival in Chang'an, so she stayed, and this stay has been left until now.

"The little woman congratulates the general on his promotion to the secretary of ordnance." Guo Ketang said with a smile.

Zheng Peng said angrily: "General Yunlu, run to be the leader of a craftsman, hide in the armory prison and watch the stinky sweaty craftsman, what is there to congratulate, if you want to congratulate, you also congratulate Mrs. Cui, the second brother was promoted to the captain of the school, that is a candidate, what is there to congratulate me, the secretary of the ordnance superintendent." ”

"That's also because my husband made friends with a good brother like General Zheng, who is loyal and courageous, so I have such a creation, and I really have to thank General Zheng for it."

Speaking of this, Guo Ketang said a little coquettishly: "If General Zheng doesn't mind, let's call Miss Guo, the slave, it's not so raw, and it looks kind." ”

"It's okay, Miss Guo, don't misunderstand" Zheng Peng hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Going to Tubo is like entering Longtan and exploring the tiger's den, it is very dangerous, to be honest, you don't blame me for taking the second brother on the adventure together, and as for his promotion, it is also the credit of his sword and shot on the battlefield." ”

Guo Ketang smiled and said sincerely: "No matter what, among the people admired by the little woman, General Zheng is ranked first."

Zheng Peng glanced at Guo Ketang, frowned and said, "Stop, don't put a high hat on me, Miss Guo, it's all your own people, what's the matter." ”

has been working together for so long, and they know each other very well, seeing that Guo Ketang suddenly became so polite and praised herself, Zheng Peng knew that she had something.

"Refreshing" Guo Ketang snapped his fingers and said very simply: "The slave family knows that General Zheng will redo the braised meat, regain the lost things, and pre-serve the slave family and your second brother, no problem, right?" ”

Zheng Peng glanced at Guo Ketang with some confusion: "How do you know about this?" ”

Guixiang Guo thought that he hugged the thigh of the prince Li Ying, and dared to hit the little abacus on his head, Zheng Peng would definitely not let them have a good time, and letting Huang San secretly build a pig farm was the first step to counterattack, no one had ever said anything about it, how did Guo Ketang know?

Guo Ketang said disapprerovingly: "Simple, just by understanding General Zheng, I know that General Zheng will definitely not give up, and the people of the slave family accidentally learned that someone recently bought a large number of sows, and also took in the sows with piglets at a high price, nine times out of ten it is General Zheng's handiwork, no matter what, it is okay to send people, and it is okay to pay money, no matter what, you can't pull down the slave family, the general eats meat, and the slave family is not greedy, just follow behind and drink some soup." ”
