Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty First: Let's Listen
Before Ning Wang could speak, Zhu Yunmo quickly pulled Yao Blacksmith to sit on the side. The two of them discussed in a low voice for a long time. Yao Blacksmith explained in a muffled voice. The two were still drawing things on the paper. After a while, Zhu Yunmo stood up.
"Father, we have discussed it. It is not impossible to cover it for ten days, but we have several conditions, and these are indispensable."
King Ning looked at his son and raised his chin slightly.
"Speak!"
Zhu Yunmo had a bold heart and spread the paper just now in front of them. They had already had general data on the number of houses damaged in Datong City. As for the eight villages and some surrounding places, they were estimated according to half.
So the wood bricks and stones were calculated according to this. Zhou Heng glanced at the table and the list was very clear. He secretly gave a thumbs up at Yao Blacksmith. Yao Blacksmith, who looked uneasy, also had some confidence.
Zhu Yunmo handed the paper over and explained:
"This is the project quantity we have roughly calculated, as well as the amount of materials, the number of personnel required for each process and the house, and of course, the most important thing is the silver. If these can be completed, we can complete it in ten days."
King Ning was skeptical and took the paper. In fact, these ten days were just casual words. He just felt that the time for the imperial guards should not be too long, otherwise the emperor in the capital would have to think more.
After carefully reading this table, it was clear at a glance that allocated 1,500 soldiers to various projects, but there were still some carpenter gaps. Obviously, these require some craftsmanship and are not large in number, so they should be found in the city.
Finally, his eyes moved down and fell on the cost column. Ning Wang's face suddenly became gloomy and he slapped the paper on the table.
"Why do you need so much money?"
Zhu Yunmo was shocked. After all, he was not by Ning Wang since childhood, so he was still a little scared, especially when he got angry, and he looked a little creepy. However, at this time, it was not a problem that could be solved by fear, and he had to argue with reason.
"Silver is a must. You don't need to spend money when looking for craftsmen? Making hollow bricks also requires purchasing raw materials, as well as some doors and windows. These imperial guards and Datong troops are soldiers and do not have any handy tools. These require investment. This number is already a savings and savings!"
After saying that, Zhu Yunmo subconsciously moved forward in the direction of Zhou Heng and took a step horizontally.
Zhou Heng held back his laughter. The words he said just now were quite reasonable, but the questioning method was still undesirable. At least when there was no one, the pain of flesh and blood was inevitable.
Sure enough, King Ning picked it up again and looked at it again, as if gritting his teeth, and then agreed:
"Okay, but you can copy this order for me, and the amount will be doubled, and the calculation will be more carefully. Follow the general and Cang Zhonglang to contact them directly if you need it, and the person will be given to you. The silver will be sent to you later. Pang Xiao will send you the house. If you don't see the house in ten days, I will break your leg."
After saying that, King Ning stood up and took the people away. Zhu Yunmo had a surprised expression on his face. He turned around and looked at Zhou Heng, spread his hands and said:
"Is this agree? I'm still waiting to bargain? Why don't you play according to the routine?"
Yao Blacksmith couldn't help but burst into laughter, but he took a look at Zhu Yunmo and quickly held it back.
"We can also get faster even if we are more, isn't this a good thing?"
Zhou Heng reached out and put his hand on Zhu Yunmo's shoulder. This guy really didn't react. It seemed that he would like to give it a little more.
"Your Majesty is not saying that you have to listen to the key points. First copy the form and write it more carefully and accurately to the number of a brick. As for the cost, after Xiao Bo comes, the paper will be sent to the prefect. The disaster relief funds are now paid by the Ning Prince's Mansion. The funds will naturally be compensated after the fund is allocated. More can make up for the deficit in the army. Do you understand?"
Zhu Yunmo widened his eyes, looked at the paper in his hand, then looked at Zhou Heng, and slapped his thigh.
"Damn it, my father made a statement. If I had known it, I would have written a little more. We are doing nothing but work without any rest?"
Zhou Heng glanced at him and realized now, who else could he rely on?
"Okay, this amount is quite large. As long as you calculate it well, you can have 20% of the remaining amount. Boss Xue, I will lend it to you. He can save a portion of it by purchasing various materials."
Zhu Yunmo thought for a moment and quickly patted Yao Blacksmith.
"You go and find Boss Xue to come up, and I will discuss it with Zhou Heng."
After saying that, he grabbed Zhou Heng and returned to the room. The two of them discussed and made changes. Soon after, the order was re-made, and the amount was doubled and it was a little more. Looking at the data, Zhu Yunmo was a little worried.
"The Datong Prefect has seen these and will not raise objections?"
Zhou Heng sighed, "You must know that in all important border towns, the prefects here are actually decorations. The highest commander of the garrison is the local emperor. Whatever he said is basically what, let alone the garrison in Datong is the King of Ning."
"Don't worry, if you report this order, the Ning Prince's Mansion will also hand over the various expenses for disaster relief and treatment. As for the disaster relief funds applied for by the Datong Prefect, it must be more than this total."
Zhu Yunmo blinked, with confusion on his face, but he believed what Zhou Heng said, especially Zhou Heng looked confident, obviously there were some things in it.
"The people on the side cannot be controlled. As long as we don't lose money, it will be possible. During this trip to Datong, the manpower and material investment was too great, and the flying ball was also damaged. I don't know if the emperor will be punished when he goes back. I'm really worried."
Zhou Heng shook his head, "It depends on how to report it?"
Zhu Yunmo raised his eyes and stared at Zhou Heng and asked:
"Don't ask a little, tell me carefully, what should we do?"
Seeing that he was anxious, Zhou Heng did not keep it in the way.
"The flying ball was a basic test flight in Beijing, and it was only two minutes in the sky. This was not a real application. This time, we not only quickly marched to Datong with ten flying balls to provide disaster relief, but also cooperated with the troops on the ground to carry out a series of operations.
This is the first-hand experimental data. If you don’t mention anything else, you will report these data and experiences to find someone to write them in detail without exaggerating them, and use various data to speak. In this way, what do you think the emperor has to worry about money?”
When Zhu Yunmo saw Zhou Heng stop, he quickly urged him.
"Don't stop, then say, this is just a report, what else do we do?"
Zhou Heng pursed his lips and smiled, "What else do you say? Don't say anything. If you are tired, you can rest when you go back, and just make the emperor anxious."
Zhu Yunmo looked suspicious, but he really couldn't think of any other way.
"Let this be put in advance. I will take Yao Blacksmith and Boss Xue away. Do you still have silver notes on you? Give me some!"
Zhou Heng instantly covered his chest, his face full of defensive posture.
"What are you doing? The prince will send the silver in a short while, and there is already 20% of the free money. I will spend an extra copper coin to deduct the monthly silver of Boss Xue and Yao Blacksmith. This is because they are not capable of it."
Boss Xue and Yao Blacksmith both looked at Zhou Heng, without any obvious emotional fluctuations. After all, they all knew what Zhou Heng looked like. As long as they didn’t mention money, they would definitely be good brothers. The saying that adding money hurts feelings is always on their lips.
Seeing that neither of the two responded, Zhu Yunmo instantly lost the spirit of bickering. After all, there were still many things to arrange, so it was meaningless to say it now.
He raised his hand and shook it, "Okay, I don't mean to ask you for money. I just ask you for money in such a hurry. If you have brought the money, I didn't even have any children. At this time, if I ask my father for it, I would be a little embarrassed.
I just want to order a few tables of tables and deliver them to Huichuntang. Whether it is following us back and forth to save people, or the people in Huichuntang semicolon, I have been working hard these days. If I can’t do anything else, it’s the most affordable thing to invite them to have a meal. After all, I’m losing my mouth."
Zhou Hengyi waved his hand, smiled on his face, and said with his head shaking:
"This cannot be done like this. Now, eating pancakes and pickles and lumps is all the water. What kind of noodles are eaten, I have already promised them three times the monthly amount of money a day. They all have fun, and they have to support their families. Real money is what they need most."
Boss Xue nodded aside, "Young Master said it's right!"
Zhou Heng glanced at me, "You don't have three times!"
Yao Blacksmith and Boss Xue looked at each other, with a look of shock on their faces.
