Chapter 637: Broken, Master Liu is going to die
As Zhou Heng finished speaking, Liu Renli stood there in a daze and couldn't react for a while.
He looked up at Zhou Heng, looking disbelief.
"This really works?"
Zhou Heng smiled, raised his eyebrows and looked out the door.
"This is how people are. They don't experience major issues, sometimes they can't see their hearts clearly, and they don't have the courage to do something. Only when danger comes, can they see their true feelings. No matter how much they think about, it will be in vain. Let's arrange the important things first, there is no hurry!"
Liu Renli was skeptical, but there was no particularly good solution now. Besides, he had persuaded Feng Yuchan many times, and saying more would only make people worry. Maybe he could try Zhou Heng's plan.
Thinking of this, Liu Renli got up and put on a gauze hat, leading Zhou Heng and the others to the workshop.
......
Three days later, the five-year plan discussed by Zhou Heng and Liu Renli and others came to an end.
At first, I just thought of a few points, but later I became more and more detailed, and even listed all the departments re-established in the yamen. Of course, these were just ideas proposed by Zhou Heng. How to enrich it depends on Liu Renli.
Zhou Heng didn't want Liu Renli to rely entirely on him. After all, whether it is the department or the function, it is for the better development of Tongzhou. This is not later generations. People's cognition and acceptance ability must be based on them. It is useless to copy and copy them completely.
When the entire plan was completed, the piglets and feed machinery were also transported. Liu Renli was full of fighting spirit now, just like the first time he returned to Tongzhou with the method of treating spring waterlogging, he was both excited and worried.
What I am excited about is that if this plan can be realized, it is not impossible, it just requires persistence and one thing that is worrying is silver, and a lot of money is needed everywhere.
The method given by Zhou Heng was to mobilize people from all over Tongzhou to participate, which was indeed a bit difficult, and Zhou Heng just agreed to help inject capital in the workshop, which was a drop in the bucket.
Zhou Heng was already asleep while the carriage was bumping. Liu Renli poked Zhou Heng with two dark circles hanging beside him. After all, there were few people who were as energetic as Liu Renli.
"Wake up, don't sleep first. Let's discuss the money matter."
Zhou Heng was sleepy and looked at Liu Renli with his eyes shining. He suddenly felt that he was on the pirate ship. Is this guy taking drugs?
What energy is this? The total rest time in three days is less than three hours. I raised my hand to touch my shrinking cheek, and sat up with a sigh.
If it weren't for Xiu'er's face, I really wanted to kick this person out.
Seeing that Zhou Heng woke up, Liu Renli automatically ignored the unhappiness on his face and approached Zhou Heng.
"I just saw you sleeping, and I calculated again. All these things started. The money is really not enough! I really don't have to write a memorial and ask His Majesty to allocate some silver?"
Zhou Heng felt powerless and had said the same thing many times. The questioning of this is really a bit overwhelming.
"You can write the memorial, but if you were Your Majesty, would you give this money? You should know that this is an investment that will not see any profit at all, and only Tongzhou can benefit."
Liu Renli sighed. Although he was a little unwilling to give up, Zhou Heng was right. Even if he was the emperor, he would not allocate this money. It was not disaster relief or relief. This was to give the Ministry of Revenue and it was not the best choice no matter what.
"But these 200,000 taels are not a small amount. After all, this is just our estimate, and it may even exceed this amount."
Zhou Heng nodded, "There is a certain error between the measurement design and actual construction. Just follow the plan last night. Do the work on the outside. I found a few shopkeepers to start opening semicolons in Tongzhou, and then started the construction of workshops, greenhouses and grain warehouses. These are all profitable projects.
Don’t worry about the money, I will support you. When these construction begins, the gentry naturally can’t sit still. They will ask what they are going to do. After all, the investment is so huge, and there is no disturbance."
Liu Renli nodded, and this was the only thing in front of him. Since he had decided, he would run all the way to the black, and there was nothing to retreat.
"Okay, then I won't write a memorandum, just start implementing it according to our plan. However, if you find shopkeepers, it's better to recruit more people. This kind of publicity that is more reliable than actually releasing news."
Zhou Heng grinned. Not to mention that Liu Renli looked honest and honest, he actually had some thoughts in his heart. This idea is indeed good. People have such a mentality. The more you don’t let everyone know, the faster it spreads, and the more it spreads, the more evil it becomes.
"The method is good, but there is no hurry to do this. There is another urgent thing to do in front of you."
Liu Renli was stunned, blinking and didn't understand what Zhou Heng meant for a moment. What was the matter that was even more urgent?
"What's the matter?"
Zhou Heng picked up the curtain and looked at it. It happened to be the south gate of Tongzhou City just now. There were a lot of cars, horses and pedestrians in front. Zhou Heng put down the curtain and said:
"Feng Yuchan? Have you forgotten that we are going to start acting today?"
Liu Renli blushed suddenly, Zhou Heng shook his head, held back his laughter and whispered:
"Okay, don't have this expression. If you want to get a wife, you have to work hard. Come on, this is the pill. After taking it, you will temporarily fall into a coma. If you do it, you will think clearly whether you do it or not. Anyway, Xiu'er and the others know. I'll send someone to notify Feng Yuchan in a while."
As he said that, Zhou Heng fell into a bright red pill in his palm, Liu Renli stared at the pill and was silent for a while, grabbed it and threw it into his mouth, and fell into the carriage with his head covered. A trace of blood flowed out from the corner of Liu Renli's lips.
Zhou Heng sighed, "He is such a cruel person. Are you not afraid of me poisoning you? Okay, then start the performance!"
Zhou Heng stood up and picked up the curtain. Boss Xue sat on the shaft of the car. No one heard it. Boss Xue knew what Zhou Heng and the others were going to do throughout the journey. He looked at Zhou Heng sideways. Zhou Heng blinked at him and said in a low voice:
"I heard it all, right? Then let me cooperate with you and shout louder, and let Xiu'er and others behind you hear that something happened here!"
Boss Xue nodded vigorously. His loud voice was what he was best at. No matter how he listened to the young master, he was sure to be right.
"I understand!"
Zhou Heng cleared his throat and shouted:
"Boss Xue went to call someone. Lord Liu fainted. He just vomited blood and told them to open the way quickly. We will go to the city to get medicine for treatment first."
Boss Xue looked surprised, then stood on the shaft of the car and shouted at the back:
"Master Zhang is about to set off the road ahead and let us enter the city first. Lord Liu fainted and vomited blood. His life was worrying!"
Zhou Heng almost burst into laughter. This guy himself added a show, but this is the charm of word-of-mouth. Once something passes through the mouths of several people, it must have changed the original taste. It is not intentionally adding fuel to the fire, but adding his own understanding to the expression.
This voice instantly made the team in front of the city gate restless. There is nothing I don’t know about Tongzhou City, because his arrival made Tongzhou change.
For a moment, everyone looked at Boss Xue. Boss Xue was already sweating all over the past two days. She was still suffering from the sun. She was like a black iron tower, covered in sweat and her expression was so anxious that everyone felt a little nervous.
It's broken, Lord Liu is going to die!
This kind of thought is not something that everyone has. They look at each other and their faces change.
Needless to say, the people at the city gate quickly commanded the crowd and moved out of the position. Xiu'er rushed down from the car behind, followed by Su Xiaoxiao and Zhu Yunmo, after all, they were all shocked.
When he rushed to Zhou Heng's carriage, Boss Xue had already lifted up all the curtains on the carriage, and his face was so anxious that he couldn't do it.
"Miss Xiu'er, you all get in the car quickly. It's the city gate. I didn't take anything to save you. The young master is taking care of Lord Liu. Let's go to the inn quickly!"
Xiu'er was confused and her mind was blank. Seeing Liu Renli lying in the car, Zhou Heng seemed to be applying needles seriously. All her worried hearts calmed down a little. She held back her tears and nodded to Boss Xue.
"Okay, let's get in the car and go to the inn!"
Su Xiaoxiao was also anxious, grabbed Liu Xiuer and Zhu Yunmo's arms, and the two rushed directly to the carriage behind.
After kicking Pang Qi, her eyes turned red. After all, seeing Xiu'er so confused and anxious, she felt so heartbroken.
"Why are you standing there? Hurry up and help Boss Xue open the way!"
When Pang Qiyi heard this, he stood up directly, spread his feet apart, supporting both sides of the shaft, and swung the whip into the air, and a bang sound attracted everyone's attention.
"Get out of the way!"
The defending soldiers had already cleared the people in front of him at this time, and Pang Qi's carriage rushed out as if flying. Boss Xue was Liu Renli, and he didn't dare to be too fast, but he followed closely behind. Zhang Huaiyuan was sitting in Pang Ba's carriage, and he started crying, constantly urging Pang Ba to hurry up.
The group shouted, shouted, cried, and shouted. With the continuous slapping of horse whips, people on the street stopped and looked over. When they saw the speeding carriage, they quickly moved away from everyone. They didn't know each other, but even if everyone knew Zhang Huaiyuan.
This person is inseparable from Liu Renli's side. He is Liu Renli's most confidant. Now he sits on the shaft of the carriage and cries without regard for his face. There is no need to ask about something big.
People have an irresistible desire to find out such information. They first looked at each other, and then a few men in silk standing in front were obviously the shopkeepers of each shop and began to mutter to each other.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know who came from the city gate, who knows what happened?"
"I know that person, he is Lord Liu's master. Could it be..."
The man didn't say anything about the guess, but most of the people around him thought about what it meant. They all looked over and looked over. After a while, several carriages and some people hurried towards the main street, all of which came from the city gate.
The whispering fat shopkeeper seemed to meet an acquaintance and quickly raised his hand to call someone.
"Brother Xu, where have you been?"
The man who was called looked over in the voice, without the enthusiasm of the man, so he quickly came over for two steps, with a look of worry.
"Hurry, don't join in the fun here. You are not a person from Beishan, the capital. We have to help Lord Liu find a doctor. Whether it is possible or not, he must do his best. Lord Liu is sick and heard that he is very serious and vomits blood. I don't know how he is doing now."
The fat shopkeeper was stunned, then widened his eyes and grabbed Brother Xu.
"What did you say? Lord Liu is seriously ill. Which Lord Liu? Could it be our Tongzhou magistrate, right?"
Brother Xu nodded quickly, but at this time, many people had gathered around him, some of whom had just given way outside the city. He looked at the few people and sighed.
"What time? Good people don't live long, and disasters live for thousands of years. We have been waiting for the Tongzhou area for decades. Finally, a parent official came to work hard for us. But this...but this..."
The man behind couldn't continue to say anything. This emotion instantly infected everyone, and his eyes were wet. Many people didn't know Liu Renli, but in Tongzhou, there were almost no one who didn't say he was good. In an instant, more and more people were restless.
"Why do we all go and have a look?"
"Walk!"
"Go and have a look!"
In an instant, these people walked towards the government office. After all, there was a lot of movement here, and the conversation was heard around them, so more and more people walked towards the government office.
In a declining yard in the east of the city, the sound of reading filled my ears, and a beautiful woman held a book and kept explaining.
"Although this poem was not a master's work, the artistic conception was very beautiful. Suddenly, it came a night of spring breeze, and thousands of pear blossoms bloomed. In just a few words, it seemed that the fragrance of pear blossoms could be smelled. Now I will write this poem down."
As soon as this was said, the dozen or so children sitting in front of the woman quickly dipped their brush in water and started writing on the table. The speed was not fast, but the poems were memorized carefully, and there was almost nothing wrong with it.
The woman had a smile on her face and waved to the children. After all, these children were from poor families, so they were allowed to practice writing with ink on paper every day. These children really couldn't afford it. She could only cut a few pieces of rice paper to give the children a few pieces of rice paper when she learned new characters.
"Okay, I'm good at writing. When I come tomorrow, I will check it out to see if anyone hasn't memorized it. I'll be here today. It's all gone!"
The children quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to the woman.
"Thank you for your teachings, sir!"
At this moment, a figure stumbled in. The person who came was an old man. His clothes were washed white, but his body was very neat on weekdays, but somehow he had no shoes yet, so he grabbed the woman.
"Yu Chan, hurry up, go to Donglai Inn opposite the government office. People on the street have spread. Lord Liu is very ill and has been vomiting blood. He is already unconscious at this moment. He has just been sent back. Go and take a look. It is said... it is said that he has vented more and has less air intake..."
When the woman heard this, her legs were weak and almost fell down. She quickly grabbed the table and stood up, threw the book in her hand towards the ground, and directly grabbed the door and burst out. When it came out, tears came down.
Is it really like what my mother-in-law said, I am a tough person. I used to kill my ex-husband who was weak and sick. Now I just got to know Lord Liu, so is he like this?
No, she didn't believe it. Even if everyone said that Lord Liu had something to do, she didn't believe it. Although she did not agree to his confession, she had already put him in her heart.
She ran on the street like crazy, and tears blocked her sight and raised her arms to wipe it. Before she knew it, she had already arrived at Donglai Inn, which was surrounded by people, including yamen runners, people, and children.
Suddenly she saw a slightly familiar figure, rushed up and grabbed Zhang Huaiyuan's arm, and knelt directly in front of her.
Chapter completed!
