Wu Zhe's idea of cheating the big prince is a sport that Dugu Mo and others deeply love. (top) (dot) novel
This is the same as eating, sleeping and beating Doudou, which is really attractive. Anyone who can earn millions of taels of silver by cheating will feel that this is a very happy thing.
When Dugu Mo and Bao Lao recalled that day when they exchanged an official maid, Pomegranate, for a lot of money, they were so happy from ear to ear. It's good to do this kind of thing again, even if there is no more money in the account, it is already a good deal from the perspective of political opponents.
"What's Miss Zhou's plan, please tell me quickly." Dugu Mo waved his hand, encouraging Wu Zhe to offer suggestions.
Old Leopard's interest also increased greatly when he was beside him: "Miss Zhou must have a clever plan to deceive others. With a simple movement of Qiqiao Linglong's heart, seven or eight ideas will come up."
"It's as if I'm good at deceiving people." Wu Zhe rolled his eyes.
"No, no, I just said Miss Zhou is smart." Elder Bao hurriedly tried to explain.
Princess Qing smiled and said: "She is indeed good at deceiving people. Didn't you see that her eyes light up when she mentions deceiving people? I'm afraid it's twelve hours a day, but there are at least two or three hours thinking about it." How to cheat people."
"You can say whatever you want, haha." Wu Zhe said, "Actually, it's very simple to deceive people this time. We just need to let the eldest prince know that Emperor Xuanwu is sick."
Dugu Mo said: "Oh? Is it that simple?"
"It's as simple as that. With the eldest prince's temperament and Sister Shiliu's scheming, he will definitely come back to visit the sick in no time."
"Then what's so good about him visiting the sick?" Old Leopard was puzzled.
"Hey, let's start spreading rumors. It is said that he is buying all kinds of supplements in the city, and wants to show his filial piety to Emperor Xuanwu's treatment."
"What's the use of this? Isn't it a compliment to him? Although there is no shortage of medicines in the palace, the medicines bought by the prince himself can show the heart of a filial son." Old Leopard didn't understand even more.
Dugu Mo was thoughtful, but Princess Qing beside her thought it through. Puchi laughed out loud: "Yes, it was a compliment. But in the ears of the emperor, it became a slander."
"That's right, the old man should know this truth, why did he just figure it out now?" Lao Bao applauded and laughed, "Miss Zhou has already said before that the emperor wants the military capital to be safe. How can he allow him to visit his illness with such great fanfare?" ? I’m afraid that if I fail to visit a doctor, I’ll be beaten out with sticks instead.”
Dugu Mo kept smiling, but didn't say anything.
"My lord is just laughing, but what do you want to add?" Wu Zhe asked curiously.
"It's rare that Ms. Zhou didn't understand what I was thinking." Dugu Mo said: "Actually, I was just thinking that if Ms. Zhou wasn't here, even if I could figure out that Emperor Xuanwu was sick, I'm afraid I would do something similar , bought various nourishing medicines and ran over to visit the sick.”
"My lord, it's just that I have nothing to do on weekdays. I often think about certain things that may happen. Even Emperor Xuanwu is sick and bedridden, which is also within my consideration. I also think about various things. Such tricks, so I am more sensitive to this aspect of things, and it is easier to think of the emperor's mind."
Princess Qing said: "Look, I said that she is thinking about how to cheat people when she has nothing to do, isn't that true? This kind of thing is really easy for her, it's extremely simple."
"Just now I said that it's easy to cheat the prince, but it's actually not simple." Wu Zhe thought for a while, "How do we let him know?"
Everyone was taken aback.
You can't go straight to the eldest prince and tell him: Hey. Your father is sick, go see a doctor. impossible!
Everyone thought about it. It was Dugu Mo who slapped his hands and said: "According to the intelligence report in the morning, the eldest prince has just returned to Wudu. Can we start from here? There are many servants in his mansion, so just send a few smart ones to spread some news." That's all in the past."
"Is it that simple?" Wu Zhe hesitated.
Princess Qing said: "You think too complicatedly. Just do it."
Dugu Mo said: "That's right, it's rare for Miss Zhou to hesitate in making a decision, this is the simplest way to send a message. If the people in our family can't do well, it's too shameful."
Wu Zhe said: "You can also draft a letter and send it to the commander-in-chief of the frontier army. Tell me that you are looking for the best nourishing medicinal materials, and it is for someone with a prominent status."
"Well, let this letter fall into the hands of the eldest prince." Princess Qing said: "That's it. No matter how stupid that girl named Pomegranate is, she should have guessed that the emperor is ill. Because she can worry about Prince Mo, please ask the commander-in-chief of the frontier army Only the emperor can have this status if the company finds a way to raise good medicinal materials."
Wu Zhe said: "The Chief Commander of the Frontier Army borders Qi, which is rich in medicinal materials, and there are often good things. Besides, since we just came back from there, the eldest prince must feel that the Chief Chief of the Frontier Army has hooked up with us. With the front line It is easier for people to believe in the way of the alliance to raise medicinal materials."
Dugu Mo praised: "With Miss Zhou and Princess Qing around to give advice and suggestions, there is no room for all the brains in the world to display their fists."
The old leopard also nodded desperately.
The two think tank-level women can indeed reach a near-perfect level if they think of a way together. At least it is incomparable to other people's strategizing.
Immediately arrange it, and Bao Lao is responsible for the specific arrangements. Dugu Mo, Wu Zhe and others started to go to the construction site where the stele was built.
"Good guy, it has already begun to take shape!" Wu Zhe stood at the gate of the engineering garden of the monument, and could see the magnificent building inside from a distance.
"I've seen Prince Mo! I've seen Princess Qing!" The foreman and others in charge of the project hurried over to receive her.
Standing next to Prince Mo, Wu Zhe was in a maidservant state. They didn't know his identity, so naturally they didn't greet him alone.
"Bring me the project progress record sheet." Dugu Mo ordered.
"Yes." The foreman and others hurried over to collect materials.
This is a construction schedule specially arranged by Wu Zhe when he left Qidu. A construction schedule that originated in another world, on which various incoming materials, personnel arrangements, and project progress are recorded.
After Dugu Mo read it, his evaluation of the female think tank around him went up to a higher level.
She is definitely not just a clever female think tank, but a pillar with a mind to manage the world!
Dugu Mo knows that the progress of a project cannot be judged solely by the completion of the appearance. There is no point in showing off, and maybe the successor is weak.
Now with the help of the form she made, any layman in engineering can see how the project is progressing and where there are problems.
"Huh? Only one person has died in this project now?" Dugu Mo looked at a record on the form and asked in surprise.
The form was written in red letters in cinnabar, one person was killed and twelve were injured, eight of whom were slightly injured.
Dugu Mo is not a young boy who has never been exposed to engineering. Although he didn't build it himself in Sanshengzong, he has seen many engineering documents.
In this era, from the beginning to the end of the construction of a major project, it is considered rare for more than a dozen people to die. If the progress is forced and supervised indiscriminately, hundreds of people may die every day. For example, it took a year and a half to build the inner palace in Wudu, and there were at least hundreds of workers who died due to falls, injuries, illnesses, and other reasons.
"Returning to Your Highness, our civil engineers used the division of labor and cooperation method taught by Ms. Zhou. Everyone's work is repetitive, but everyone can complete a section of the project together. For example, those with mud, sand and yellow water are done alone. Nihuang, the more you do it, the more proficient you are, not only the speed has increased, but also it is not easy to make mistakes." The foreman explained with a bow.
"Division of labor and cooperation?" Dugu Mo sounded interesting.
The foreman explained it for him, and then continued to add: "There are also improved ladders for people who climb high, and bamboo frames called scaffolding. The craftsmen are safe on it, and accidents often happen in the past." It’s not easy to kill people with carved stones and flowers on high places. The only unlucky person who died was because he drank too much wine and climbed up to blow the wind, knocked his left foot, tripped over his right foot, and fell to his death.”
Dugu Mo glanced at Wu Zhe, full of approval.
Wu Zhe responded with a smile: "It was Mr. Hong Fu who caused only one death in such a huge civil engineering project. It's a pity that we didn't create a project with zero deaths. Let's work harder next time."
"That's right, it's Prince Mo's great blessing, and even us craftsmen are honored." The foreman quickly added.
"That's the scaffolding over there?" Dugu Mo asked, pointing to the bamboo frame in the distance.
"That's right, a layer of scaffolding is built around the engineering stones, which is convenient for us craftsmen to construct." The foreman said: "In addition, Ms. Zhou also drew a blueprint and asked the blacksmith to forge some pulling wheels, but it saved a lot of money." less energy. In addition, the way of eating and resting has also been changed. We don’t feel tired every day. We all say that we are grateful to Prince Mo for his knowledge and good use. We must repay the kindness of the master and build this monument to commemorate the fallen soldiers. better."
Speaking of this, the foreman suddenly remembered one thing: "Ah, yesterday, the chief executive Peng from the palace came here and wanted to take away the sketches of scaffolding and other things."
The Chief Eunuch Peng of the Inner Palace? What is he doing with the sketches? Dugu Mo and Wu Zhe looked at each other.
Wu Zhe asked, "What did he do when he came here?"
"He just took a look at the scene, then left without doing anything. He came back half an hour later and asked whose idea the rare things here are."
Wu Zhe asked, "What do you say?"
The foreman said: "I dare not hide it, I will answer truthfully."
After he said this, his heart suddenly trembled. I was afraid that I might do something wrong, and I couldn't help feeling uneasy for a while.
Wu Zhe nodded and did not speak again.
Dugu Mo casually asked a few more words, then dismissed the foreman.
The three of them found a place to rest and discuss.
Dugu Mo asked Wu Zhe, "Director Peng is here, what does Miss Zhou think?"
"..." Wu Zhe frowned: "There are two possibilities. One is that Director Peng wants to find a way for us. The other is more likely. He wants to flatter us!" (To be continued...)
