A few days later, Chu Qing still came to supervise the work every day.
The weather is not good, and the downpour comes at any time, coming and going for a while.
However, it played into Chu Qing's wish, and it could be used as an excuse if the palace could not be built by the due date.
I also wanted to blind his Qiqiao exquisite heart. Huang Laosi didn't care about the date at all. Moreover, Lao Si was also very anxious these days. The lower county was indeed affected by the disaster.
The most serious situation was in Lan County, where flash floods destroyed many fields and houses, affecting thousands of households.
It should be noted that there were twelve garrison guards and three auxiliary barracks near several lower counties, which were also affected by the disaster.
Misfortunes never come singly, a small group of Ranger spies were also discovered at the border. This was on the north side of Changjing. Several tribes in the mountains on the south side had rebelled. In addition, the incident at the granary before Weijiang caused complaints among the people on both sides of the north and south.
It's not a big deal, but they all rush together. Huang Laosi is busy until midnight just convening ministers for discussions every day.
But these have nothing to do with Chu Qing, he just needs to build the palace.
According to the drawings drawn by Chu Qing, the rammed earth foundation had just been built when Sun An intervened.
The old eunuch led a group of middle-aged eunuchs and started chattering around Chu Qing.
It was not until this moment that Chu Qing realized that he had oversimplified things.
The first is the integration of Feng Shui theory, which window faces which way, size, etc.
Then there is the thickness of the glazed tiles, and what specifications the wood must meet. It must not only be strong, but also beautiful.
Going into more details, let’s just say that this pattern cannot be done by Chu Qing at will. He can use it no matter what other people say.
Chu Qing's head was as big as an ox. He thought that building a house would be enough. Who knew there were so many rules and regulations that no one had ever mentioned to him before.
But half of the work is done, so we can only let it go.
Fortunately, Sun An and the eunuchs kept him close for a few days, and then they couldn't see him again.
Chu Qing asked Tong Gui and found out that the emperor had left the palace and took many civil and military officials to "inspect" several lower counties in the capital.
I have to say that Huang Laosi is indeed quite strange. For the emperors of other dynasties, it would be very difficult to leave the palace once. Looking at Huang Laosi again, this guy comes out of the palace every once in a while. The civil and military officials are already used to it.
But this is good, as it saves someone from pointing fingers.
The huge palace seems to have become a little empty after the emperor left the palace. Palace maids are quite common, but there are quite a few eunuchs and guards...
It was also because of the rain that the Tao family farmers did not have to worry about the affairs of the village. Where the loess did not bury people, where the wages were not earned, let alone how much Chu Qing gave them.
After more than half a month, Taowu Hall was finally completed.
Standing in front of the "renewed" Taowu Palace, Chu Qing felt a full sense of accomplishment.
Tong Gui and other imperial guards and a group of villagers grinned and looked complicated.
Although I was building a house every day, looking at the great hall in front of me, I had the thought in my heart that when the emperor came back, Chu Qing would not be able to enjoy the good harvest.
From the outside, there is nothing wrong with this hall. It is almost the same as before it was torn down.
But once inside, it feels very weird. I can't say what's weird about it. In short, it's just weird. It could be called a palace, like a mansion, or a mansion. It's different from an ordinary mansion. In short, it's just weird.
In addition, Taowu Hall also used a large number of hollow bricks. Tong Gui was afraid that the hall would collapse if there was a strong wind.
Chu Qing actually had a smile on his face, very satisfied, extremely satisfied.
"Thank you all." Chu Qing turned around: "Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It is my honor, Chu Qing, to work with you all."
After bowing to the banker and the guards, Chu Qing smiled with joy from the bottom of his heart.
The Taowu Palace incident is finally settled.
According to what Tong Gui said, although Taowu Hall was a palace, it was impossible for the emperor to move in there.
This means that the emperor may not necessarily accept the project. At most, he will just take a look at the appearance when passing by.
After the palace was built, no one could criticize Chu Wensheng for this matter.
The bankers bowed in return. After such a long period of contact, they sincerely liked Chu Qing. He had no pretensions, gave money quickly, and told stories. I am afraid that they will never encounter such a kind owner only a few times in their lifetime.
Everyone left the palace together, Fu San took out the few remaining banknotes, paid the last payment, and everyone said goodbye.
Back at the mansion, Chu Qing took a shower and lay on the bed ready to have a good sleep.
He knew that the rest was only temporary, and there would still be a lot of trouble waiting for him when he woke up.
The tax affairs of the Household Department are my own job. I also have to find ways to make money, pay back the money promised, and redeem the land deed from Qiu Wanshan.
Chu Wensheng was not in the palace. Due to the disaster in the lower county, the emperor didn't know why, so he asked Lao Chu to leave the capital together with other ministers.
Chu Qing had a good sleep, but early the next morning, he was woken up by Fu San, and an evil guest came to his door!
The evil guest's surname is Tao, not Tao Yao, but Tao Shaozhang, the young minister of Dali Temple.
Just after dawn, the door was kicked open. When the servant opened the door, this guy rushed in, yelling that he wanted to settle the score with Chu Qing.
Chu Qing walked out of the bedroom without knowing why, and took Fu San to the screen wall, where the servants were stopping Tao Shaozhang, who was looking angry.
Seeing Chu Qing, Tao Shaozhang pushed away the servant of the Chu family in front of him and rushed forward.
Catching Chu Qing's front, Tao Shaozhang shouted with bloodshot eyes, "I'll fight you."
Generally, people who can shout such words will die miserably in the end.
Without waiting for Fu San to take action, Chu Qing knocked off Tao Shaozhang's hands: "I'll give you a quarter of an hour to calm down. Talk to me after you calm down."
After saying that, Chu Qing turned around and left to wash his face.
Tao Shaozhang was already furious. Just as he was about to charge forward again, Fu San's five fingers, like iron pliers, grabbed his shoulders.
No matter how much Tao Shaozhang yelled and cursed, Fu San remained motionless and even received a few kicks.
Chu Qing didn't even turn his head and turned a deaf ear to the scolding.
In the Chu Mansion, Tao Shaozhang's shouts and curses could not be heard without stopping.
After changing clothes, washing his face, and doing a set of radio gymnastics, Chu Qing was busy minding his own business.
Tao Shaozhang finally stopped yelling and cursed, and entered the main hall, suppressing the fire.
Fu San looked at him coldly. Tao Shaozhang's anger was somewhat restrained by the veteran frontier soldier staring at him like this.
Chu Qing, who had been busy for a while, walked into the main hall and bent down to salute.
"I have met Lord Tao."
With a "pop" sound, Tao Shaozhang slapped the table and stood up suddenly. Before he could speak, he saw Fu San looking over with evil intentions and sat down again.
He walked over, made tea for Tao Shaozhang, and then sat down.
After all the due etiquette was fulfilled, Chu Qing asked: "Because of Master Tao?"
"That's right!" Tao Shaozhang glared angrily: "What on earth did you say to my father? Why has your health deteriorated since I saw you in the palace half a month ago, and now you are bedridden?"
"Ah?" Chu Qing was amused: "The old man fell ill?"
