"Master, why did you stop the concubine from speaking just now?" As soon as Old Demon King Cheng came back, Pei Caixia said with a cold face.

I originally wanted to talk to Liu Yuan about his niece, which was also written by the elders of the clan himself, but he didn't expect to be interrupted by the old demon king Cheng, of course Pei Damei was unhappy in her heart, and when she saw her husband coming back, the money was gone.

"Lady, don't be angry" Cheng Lao Demon King said with a smile: "I interrupted you for my husband just now, it was because you were in a hurry, as if you couldn't wait to send your niece out of the city, in this way, it is too easy to get, I am afraid that I will be despised when I enter the door, if I refuse to go out, it will not only damage the relationship between each other, but also give people a laughing stock. ”

After speaking, Old Demon King Cheng whispered a few words in Pei Da Meiren's ear.

Don't look at Cheng Lao Demon King is majestic outside, but at home, that pair of Pei Da Beauty loves a lot, whoever hides such a big beauty in the house will be like a jewel, not to mention that Pei Da Mei has the skill to defend the face of Cheng Lao Demon King in front of people, and he is also gentle and gentle in front of people, that is, a tough guy like Cheng Lao Demon King, when no one is around, he is also tender to his wife, and many times he deliberately accommodates her.

The more Pei Da Meiren listened, the smile on her face became more and more, and after listening to it, her face was already smiling like a flower, and she gently hugged Cheng Lao Demon King's arm and said with a smile: "It's still a good husband, I think of such a method, but it's just that I will marry again in the spring next year, is it a little late?" ”

"It's only like this, this year he welcomed three women into the house in one go, and now he is still ordered to welcome his relatives, this is about the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty, at this juncture, nothing can happen, next year's spring. That's already the fastest. ”

"This child, Shocking Goose, has been in love with me since she was a child, and the concubine regarded her as her own early on, and when the time comes, the husband should not be stingy."

Old Demon King Cheng is also optimistic about Liu Yuan's future, otherwise he would not have made such a move to a junior, and when he heard this, he promised again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, madam." You are responsible for this matter, you must be beautiful, and you will never ask for your husband. ”

"Husband"

The bleak autumn wind, with the slightest chill, and the withered yellow leaves. It seems that I can't wait to tell people about the departure of autumn and the arrival of winter. The noble lady of Chang'an. I was already picking out the winter fur, and the older ones were already dressed in winter clothes, but about thirty miles east of Chang'an City, thousands of people were working in full swing, and the cold of late autumn. Unable to stop their fiery enthusiasm, many people rolled up their sleeves, turned their backs to the sky with their faces facing the loess, and waved their hoes in their hands. Sprinkle the sweat of your toils on this land.

It's spectacular!

This is the construction site of Changluo Expressway, and the project with an investment of more than one million taels ushered in its first review.

In addition to the progress of the review project, it also ushered in its first pouring project, and it was also the first time that Datang used cement to build a road, so on this day, all the people involved in the investment came: Liu Yuan, Cui Jing, Wei Chi Jingde, Cheng Lao Demon King, Li Jing, Niu Jinda, and even the eldest grandson Wuji, who was added in later, accounted for half of the elements, also went with great interest with private guards to watch the official start of the first section of the construction of the project in which he had invested more than 100,000 taels.

"Uncles be careful, this road is a little uneven." Liu Yuan walked in front of him, carefully reminding the people who followed behind.

Old Cheng Demon King Ha Luha smiled: "I have been to countless dangerous places over the years, and this small road can be walked through with your eyes closed." ”

"Well, yes, it's quite lively." Wei Chi Jingde looked at the construction site and nodded with satisfaction.

Li Jing looked at the straight road and said with a little emotion: "Building roads and repairing bridges, no matter what, is a merit, not bad, not bad." ”

Niu Jinda looked at those people who worked hard and said, "Well, yes, there is no foreman to supervise, there is no whip to wait, these people work very hard." ”

"Hehe" Cui Jing said a little proudly: "These are all good ideas that the virtuous son-in-law came up with, divide the people, each team is responsible for a small section, you can rest after doing it, if you perform well, give rewards, do not do well, then you have to be punished, if you do more work, it is also extra wages, this kind of this, they want to be lazy and difficult, one by one to do it in full swing, now the autumn grain has been harvested, the Zhuang households in the house are idle, transfer them to work, save a ration not to mention, but also earn a lot of wages, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone." ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and there was a look of approval in their eyes.

Under Liu Yuan's proposal, priority was given to hiring slaves and dealers in the hands of various investors, so that everyone took it out with their left hand and stuffed it into their pockets with their right hand, how to make money, especially Liu Yuan did not have a grange in his hands, no one came out, so many people were cheap, and everyone was happy, of course, how much can be taken by themselves, they can only rely on their own means.

Under the heavy protection of the guards, the group walked forward with a smile and a smile.

Although it is said that it is the land of the Tang Dynasty and the side of the capital, there are more than 2,000 laborers here, in addition to the Zhuang Hukou, nearly half of them are slaves, and most of the slaves are obtained by war, and there is no shortage of soldiers from the enemy country, so the guards do not dare to relax, except for Liu Yuan, who only brought a wild wolf and a blood knife, the others also brought at least five or six, and the eldest grandson Wuji's guards were the most, there were as many as twenty people, and they did not insult the prestige of the uncle, and it was really majestic.

The group came to a section of the highway that had been completed with a very flat foundation, ready to witness the birth of the first section of cement road in Datang.

"The little one has seen the patriarch, the uncle, and the adults." At this time, a person in charge of the person hurriedly arrived with two guards and greeted everyone.

The person who came was the son of Qinghe Cui, surnamed Cui Mingge, who had followed Cui Jing for many years and had rich experience in large-scale civil engineering, and was just responsible for the overall work of Changluo Expressway.

Cui Jing pulled his face and said, "It's not for people to tell you, a few adults want to come to watch, and they don't greet them, where are they?" ”

"Back to the third uncle's words" Cui Ge said with some shame: "There was something wrong at the construction site in front, and the little nephew rushed to deal with it, so he missed the time and missed the distance, which is really a sin." ”

Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Father-in-law, this is a manifestation of dedication, not only is there no fault, but it is meritorious." ”

"By the way, Brother Cui, this nephew of yours is doing well."

"Meritorious, meritorious."

"It's all your own people, these clichés, if you can avoid it, you can avoid it."

Those present, at least more than 100,000 taels have been invested, and they are most concerned about money and prospects, where do they care about such a vulgar courtesy, to be honest, they see such a dedicated person in charge, they are all very happy, no matter when, they can do things much better than only sycophants.

"Since you don't have any opinions, then forget about this matter, and pay more attention in the future." Cui Jingxun his own people, and he just made a look, and now he heard that everyone had no opinions, and he didn't take care of it, but just ordered lightly.

"Yes, Third Uncle."

At Liu Yuan's suggestion, everyone went to inspect the preparation of those materials first.

Sand and gravel are close to the principle, piled up on both sides of the road, so that they can be called at any time, Liu Yuan took a look, and felt good, Gu Yicheng was the foundation, there are definitely not so many treacherous and cheating people in later generations, plus the patron is a high-ranking person in the dynasty, who dares to be insincere? The sand is sifted, and the gravel is hard granite stone, and the water is more convenient, so that people can draw water directly from the river and flow into a large pit, which is very convenient for getting water.

After reading the sand and stones, Cui Ge led everyone to a big cave, and then began to introduce: "Ladies and gentlemen, please see, this is a natural cave with vents, so it is very dry here, and it is very appropriate to store cement. ”

In ancient times, the sealing was not high, these cements were packed in wooden barrels, so that they could be recycled, and the cement would harden when it was wet, Liu Yuan specially told him to keep it carefully, so Cui Ge was also very careful.

Liu Yuan touched the ground, the soil was dry and hard, even the cave wall was very dry, and the ventilation was good, so the cement was stacked neatly, and the passage and space were retained in the middle.

"Well, that's good, I think we can start the work." (To be continued......)
