Countless joys and sorrows happen every day in Beijing, about family, love, friendship, adultery, etc.
Not only Prince Wu's Mansion, but also the Prince's Young Master's Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations.
Tao Yao beamed with joy, looking at his great son Tao Shaozhang who would be knighted, he was satisfied, extremely satisfied.
Growing up, Tao Yao rarely praised Tao Shaozhang, but today, he didn't close his mouth and kept praising Tao Shaozhang.
"Zhang'er is determined to strive for success. No one else can succeed. Why is it only you who succeeds? You and your brother-in-law are the only ones who have become close friends..."
"My good son, Tao Yao, has made acquaintance with your brother-in-law for the sake of honoring our ancestors, the Tao family..."
"Hey, luckily I have your brother-in-law. This is Zhang'er's blessing..."
"Your brother-in-law is taking you with him..."
"Your brother-in-law..."
Tao Shaozhang's smile became more and more far-fetched: "Dad, please take a break first, and let the child go to the back garden."
"Why are you going?"
The eldest uncle said nothing, turned around and walked into the garden. After a while, the sound of trees and fists clashing came from the back garden.
There is also Nangong's mansion. When Nangong Xi, the Prime Minister of the dynasty, ordered a big banquet, he was not at work, so he took his son Nangong Shou to greet Nangong Ping.
The same was true for Xu Shiqing, who was staying at a friend's house. The old man really didn't expect that his grandson would make such a great contribution.
The same was true for Hanshan Academy. The students were suddenly told to take a half-day bath because the principal of the academy had returned.
When Chu Qing and Huang Laosi were about to reach the city gate, they got on the carriage and went all the way outside the city.
Looking at the road paved with bricks and stones outside the car window, Chu Qing was quite surprised: "The road has been built so wide."
"Yes, the roads inside the city are not as good as the roads outside the city."
Huang Laosi was very interested: "Why do you and the Taojia Zhuangzi's workshop make money, but you have to invest it in building roads?"
Chu Qing laughed and said nothing.
When the fourth child saw Chu Qing's appearance, he knew that this guy must be holding something back.
In fact, it’s not too bad. The original plan was to build roads first if you want to get rich, from the capital to Xiao County to facilitate the transportation of stones, followed by Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs to facilitate the "commuting" of unscrupulous people, and finally the biggest investment.
To the south of the city, it was built along the south side of the city.
It's not that all roads are built, and official roads are not taken up, but roads are built along pipelines.
Chu Qing has already thought about it. I invested money to build the road. Once it is completely repaired, the caravans and merchants of those aristocratic families who want to go on the road can pay the money and choose a daily card, a monthly card, or an annual card.
If you don't pay the money, that's fine, just take the official route, as long as you're not in a hurry.
Compared with the newly built roads, the official road is not only dilapidated, but also not spacious enough. It doesn't matter if you are not in a hurry, but if you are transporting goods, or in rainy and snowy days, it will be muddy and difficult to travel, and it will take a long time.
But these are things for later. Now we are not very far away from cultivation, and we have to keep investing money.
"Brother Yu, this is the first time I have been to Hanmen Academy." Huang Laosi also looked out the car window with emotion.
"You've never been here once?"
"No."
"How much protection money did you charge me, but after the academy was built, you didn't say to take a look."
Huang Laosi said cheerfully: "Brother Yu is not here, but he keeps looking at this place. Do you think no one in the capital wants this academy to be destroyed?"
"It's true that many people find this academy an eyesore."
"It's good that you know. I don't know how many people look at the academy as an eyesore. If Brother Yu hadn't been watching here, how would the academy be able to do what it is today."
Chu Qing frowned: "Who else dares to cause trouble to the academy openly?"
"Not bad, a lot."
"How did you deal with it?"
Huang Laosi was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
"Didn't you say that you have been watching here and there are still many people who want to destroy the academy?"
"yes."
"Then how did you deal with these people?"
"Brother Yu... didn't deal with them."
Chu Qing: "..."
The two stared at each other for a long time, then Chu Qing shouted: "Geneva pay back the money!"
"Brother Yu wanted to deal with them, but before he could deal with them, Tao Ruolin, Qiu Wanshan, and British Duke Feng Luo took action first."
"You old man, the three of them confiscated the money and did the work. You just collected the money and didn't do the work. You're such a waste of money!"
"Free sex?" Huang Laosi's eyes lit up: "How to do free sex and where to go?"
Chu Qing: "..."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes.
Really, it's not Huang Laosi's turn to take action. If he can't even deal with Tao Ruolin, Qiu Wanshan, and Feng Luo, I guess Lao Si will be in trouble.
Sun An drove the carriage and quickly arrived outside the academy gate. After Chu Qing and Huang Laosi jumped down, Fu San and Jiang Yuesheng who followed behind also got off their horses.
The academy has not changed much since before leaving the capital, except that the snow is no longer there. Now there are birds singing and flowers fragrant. Willow trees are higher than the courtyard wall, green willows are hanging slightly, and a bamboo forest is planted behind the academy, which is extremely elegant.
No one was guarding the door. The gate of the academy was just open, and there was only one gate. This was what Chu Qing had originally requested. There was only one gate. There was no middle gate or side gate. No matter whether they were princes, nobles or ordinary people, they could go through the main gate. It was the only gate.
.
Looking at the plaque with the four characters "Hanmen Academy", Chu Qing stopped and stared for a long time, with a smile on his face.
The same goes for the fourth child, with a happy expression on his face, as if this academy has something to do with him.
The two of them stopped and stood, Chu Qing just looked at the plaque, but Huang Laosi looked around, as if he had ADHD.
A group of people walked out of the academy, led by the British Duke Feng Luo, followed by Tao Ruolin, Bihua, Bao Guanjia, and some gentlemen wearing Confucian robes.
Feng Luo still looked like a little old man, with a slight stoop and white beard and hair. It was hard to tell that he was a commander who had been in charge of the frontier army.
Chu Qing saluted and said that he had met the British Duke, but his eyes looked at Tao Ruolin who was smiling sweetly.
Tao Ruolin didn't change at all. She blinked, with a smile on her lips, and then rolled her eyes at Chu Qing.
The British prince showed excitement and hurriedly came to the two men and saluted the emperor first.
"My lord, I have met Your Majesty."
When the housekeeper Bao and several gentlemen heard that this was the current emperor, they hurriedly saluted.
Needless to say, there is no need to say polite words such as His Majesty’s visit in person, it’s a long way to welcome the old emperor, Feng Luo has the right not to flatter him.
"Outside the palace, there is no need to be polite." Huang Laosi waved his hand, pretending to be confident.
"Good boy." Feng Luo looked at Chu Qing and kept nodding, his eyes slightly red: "Good boy, well done, thank you for your hard work."
He had already asked clearly about the border affairs. Although Feng Luo did not go to court, he knew more about what happened at the border. Many generals in the border army would send letters regularly, not to mention that they had sent letters five days ago.
Got a head.
Chu Qing laughed at himself: "The things I promised you haven't been done yet. I'm fat and strong. But if you want to do it well, you can't do it at the border. You have to come back to do it."
"Good enough, what you have done is good enough, good enough. In time, our Dachang frontier army, a good man, a good man, will definitely become fat and strong."
Feng Luo looked excited and kept patting Chu Qing's shoulders. Tears flowed out of his eyes as he patted Chu Qing's shoulders. He nodded, just nodded, and kept nodding.
Feng Luo really didn't expect that Chu Qing did everything he could and couldn't do.
Originally, he thought that Chu Qing was engaged in economics in the past, and it would take at least three or two years. However, Chu Qing just threw 10 million yuan into it. Six words are enough to describe it, simple, crude, and effective!
Chu Qing not only engaged in economics, but also killed the prince. This is an overfulfillment of the task. Can Lao Feng be dissatisfied? It's like he wanted to buy mutton skewers, and then the boss gave him a sheep. Happiness came.
It's so fast.
Chu Qing said softly: "Commander, Hun'er is still here and will always be there. You can rest assured."
"It's good to be here, it's good to be here." Feng Luo, who was still nodding, closed his eyes slightly and murmured: "The soul of the frontier army will never be separated. The blood of the frontier army has dried up, but the soul will not be separated.
What is built is not fame, but the soul, the soul of the frontier army, the soul of my good man Dachang, the soul will never be separated."
