"Digging is not allowed. If you dig through the river, the vein will be broken. We will not have a good life in the future, so we can't dig..."

Standing on the west bank of the Nihe River and watching the work stoppage where the Nihe River should be dug through, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan could clearly hear the reasons shouted by those who hindered the construction.

"I am most disgusted with some people using this method for their own personal gain. The most sad thing is that many people who don't understand a little thing are incited to follow, Xiaobao, who do you want the river to dig through?"

Wang Juan didn't need to ask someone to ask, he knew what was going on when he saw the posture in front of him.

Standing next to Wang Juan, Zhang Xiaobao took out the fishing rod he had brought, walked to a place where he could stand, and slowly put on the fishing rods, and said: "The road is really hard to walk. It’s easy to go from Jilizhou. After coming over, it took half a month to meet Li Bai, but I couldn’t do what I wanted. Let’s build the road from Jilizhou all the way to this place."

"Don't you dare to see Li Bai, for fear that the character in your heart will suddenly fall into the mortal world. Who will pay for the road construction?" Wang Juan said what Zhang Xiaobao thought, but she was the same. Seeing Li Bai, she suddenly felt that Li Baili If you are too close, there will be less cultural sustenance that you once had.

Hang the bait, the wheel rounded the fishing rod with a "swish" sound, the lead sinker took the fishing line across the air, plunged one end into the water, and then lightly flicked the small bell on the head of the rod, Zhang Xiaobao clicked his mouth twice, feeling dumb. Tasteless.

"Based on the analysis of the letter from Li Yu, Li Bai is good at reading his poems in the future, but now I have to say that he has some great abilities. I didn't see it. It's better to miss each other. Xiaobei and Li Bai will go to Jian'an with Li Bai. As an official, see how he is.

As for road repairs, our Zhengzheng Construction Group will greet all the caravans traveling between Silla and Datang. They pay a portion of the money, which accounts for 30%. In the future, all caravans under their banner will not charge anything. Costs, and they don’t have to pay any maintenance fees.

Once people are asked to contact and build a narrower road, it will cost a lot less. If they think it is expensive, they can join together to get 10% of the money. My initial estimate is that the money for road construction is 10 million. They only need With one million, you will be able to enjoy huge benefits in the future. "

Zhang Xiaobao opened his mouth for ten million, and he said something like a thousand dollars, very relaxed.

I am confused about Wang Juan.

"Well, the river is blocked, think of road construction? Free? You don't know the situation at home, where can you get the 10 million consistent working capital? In another ten years, maybe you don't continue to spend money, you can meet the present Requirements."

"You and I know how much liquidity is in my family. Others don't know if there are so many transactions in our family. In the hearts of others, it is a wealthy country. I yelled and said that the East China Sea was filled with money, and some people believed it."

Zhang Xiaobao installed another fishing rod and said to Wang Juan with a smile.

Wang Juan frowned, thinking hard, and never figured out how Zhang Xiaobao would talk about land routes without solving the problem of water access to the border.

Looking at the tributaries flowing down the mountain and converging in the Nihe River, I asked: "What about the things in front of you?"

"Let’s do it together, Turkic will go north, Japan will follow the voyage, and something has happened here in Silla. I always feel that there is a connection between them. Is it because we haven’t acted directly for a long time? If you don’t let them suffer a bit, they can really shake the sky."

Zhang Xiaobao was talking, and seeing that the fish had not taken the bait for a long time, he took out a nest of small fish and put it in front of him. Then he took out two pig kicks with sauce, gave one to Wang Juan, and started to nibble.

Wang Juan ate a few bites and vomited the bones into the nest. "In Japan, didn't you write to the Jiangnan Dongdao people to tell them to participate? Do you want to change your mind?"

"If you make a correction, you can make corrections if you know your mistakes. If you make a correction, you will be a good comrade. If you don’t cooperate with them, you can sell the charts to the Japanese. There are a lot of things on the sea, wind and waves, reefs, whirlpools, and pirates. I hope that the Japanese brothers can find them safely. The land of hope in my heart, Amen."

Zhang Xiaobao gnawed fast and did not gnaw too cleanly. He ate a large piece of meat into his stomach, stuffing a lot of meaty bones into his nest, rubbing his hands on his body casually, and said with a smile.

Wang Juan curled his mouth and stopped eating. He tore off the meat and wrapped it in greased paper. The bones were used by Zhang Xiaobao's fish. He rubbed his hands on Zhang Xiaobao's clothes and said, "I have been with people like you for a long time. That kind of kindness is hard to find."

"Thank you for the compliment. I will make more fish in a while, and I will fry it for you in the evening as snacks. Come, find someone in charge of foreign affairs."

Zhang Xiaobao shook his head happily, lowered the nest to the river, greeted him, and someone immediately followed him to do as instructed.

As a wholesaler and retailer, Li Dong has had a bad life recently.

Datang has more and more ships going to and from Silla. A large amount of cargo has been unloaded and turned into money. The low price has caused many people who used to get cargo from their own shops to buy at the dock. In recent months Profits are getting smaller and smaller. If this continues, it is estimated that it will not take too long, and the family's business will not go on.

Fortunately, after I managed the store, I studied the goods shipped from Datang, and picked the goods that Datang thought the profit was small but did not ship. I bought them in Datang, transported them by land, and transported them to Silla. The store was reopened. A branch.

Because of the distance to the sea and the fact that Datang’s ships do not carry such goods, life is much better for a while.

I was looking forward to making a lot of money. Who knew that Datang would connect the mud river. Once it was opened, the ship would come over. Now that the prices of a few goods have been raised by myself, people who care about it will definitely notice.

A few days ago, someone from the clan came to discuss not allowing Datang to successfully clear the river. He stood in front and found someone to obstruct it with various excuses.

Although it was a temporary success, I heard that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan from Jilizhou were coming. I wonder if they would kill themselves, but they could do anything.

Shouldn't it be regrettable that the clan members were afraid, why did they stupidly agree

If it doesn't work, you have to find a few colleagues. When the time comes, trouble, everyone will support it together.

As he thought about it, Li Dong rubbed his sour eyes, got up and went to the outside of the room, and called a servant who had passed by "to tell the housekeeper, let him write some invitations, and send them to the vegetable workshop, the Yuanshan Chamber of Commerce, and the Caravan." In the hands of a few important people, we will have a banquet in the Changfeng Pavilion tomorrow."

The servant left in a hurry, and after a short while, he came back to report, "Master, the butler knows, there is a person outside the door, saying that it is the steward of Zhengzheng Construction, and wants to see you, the master."

"Zhengzheng architecture?" Li Dong felt familiar, and suddenly couldn't remember what it was.

The servant reminded respectfully, "Master, it is the business of the King Zhang family that you often talked about with us, specializing in various construction work, and most of the money earned is used in the construction of Datang Academy. The meaning of bone clank, Zeng Kuang said, regardless of any disaster, even if the sky collapses, the school must be the last one to break."

After being mentioned by the next person, Li Dong only then overlapped what had happened some time ago with what he had heard now.

"Oh, this is it. A few days ago, there was ground movement in a place near the sea in Dengzhou, Datang Henan Province. I heard that it was knocked down and washed away many houses, but the two-story school in the village stood alone there. , The crack of the ground passed through the middle of the building, and the building was stunned. The next floor was submerged by sea water, and the children ran to the upper floor and escaped.

Why are they here? Could the connecting river alarm them? Just say I'm not here, let the second manager go to the reception, if it's not for trouble, I walked half a circle through the back door and just came back. "

It's not the first time that the servant has done this kind of thing, and promised to make arrangements with a trot.

Seeing the people leave, Li Dong began to recall what had come from Dengzhou, and muttered: "Zhengzheng is rich in architecture. I heard that the crack in the middle of the school was four feet wide, and it was replaced by another small house and just fell into it. Now, the upper floor of the school can still be connected together. It is said that the thick steel bar of the child’s arm can be seen where it splits, and it hasn't broken even after being thinned.

Did it come here to repair the bridge? If this is the case, it would be troublesome. If Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan do it themselves, I wonder if they can survive? "

It didn't take long for the second manager who was in contact with the foreign affairs personnel of the Zhengzheng Construction Group to send a message.

"Master, the second manager said that the man was not here to repair the bridge, but to repair the road. He said that he would give the master a wealth and let the master choose a good place to start work."
