Looking at the house in front of me, there is no exquisiteness, and carvings of dragons and phoenixes do not exist. The bottom of the main body of the palace is made of whole pieces of stone, with blue bricks on it, and the wood used in the corridor in front of the door is also extremely thick and firm. It is absolutely fine. This style is more like the style of an indigenous leader.

"Well, prince, this craft is a bit rough, but I'm sorry for being a remote place!" Liao Dezhang felt a little embarrassed. He had also been in Jiangning, so he naturally knew the exquisiteness of those royal palaces.

"It's okay, just be strong." Li Zhongyu was not too particular about those things. The palace in front of him was generous enough and he should live comfortably, which was enough.

"How long will it take to complete?" Sun Yu finally ended his cordial exchange with Tan Qianmo, walked to Li Zhongyu and asked, "When will you send someone to Jiangning to pick up Zhou Wei, this is what he cares most about.

"If it's fast, it's one month, but it depends on the weather." It's already summer, and there's a lot of rain, and it's mostly raining rain. After a rain, the construction period will be delayed by three or five days.

"How much money has the imperial court allocated, is it enough?" If you build a palace for the prince, you must have to pay the money from the Ministry of Revenue.

I asked Xiao Yi's blessing, in order to let Li Zhongyu move out of the palace as soon as possible, I greeted Yan Xu in advance, and handled the special matters very much, and all went to the warehouse of Pingyang County Government. This is also because of the rapid construction period. Such a large royal palace was not enough for half a year before, so I can't even think about it.

"Prince, don't you invite us in and sit?" Sun Yu joked. This is Li Zhongyu's territory.

"Ah, then follow me in." Li Zhongyu touched his head. How should he receive it? When the palace was completed, he had to hire some people to come back. He would bring tea and water, cook and fire, and someone would have to do it.

The ground in the main hall was also paved with stone slabs. I knew in advance that the prince was coming, so I naturally cleaned it. As soon as Sun Yu and his party entered the door, the evil dog took people to guard the door. He personally carried a heavy knife and patrolled the door.

Time flies by, and the autumn rain drizzles. In Kaifeng Prefecture of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Pu stood in front of the hall, watching the rain falling on the eaves.

"Master, the weather is cold, go to the house for a while!" Since Yao left, Zhao Pu has been in such a daze, and he has been on the verge of a long time. Wei felt distressed.

He also advised Zhao Pu to take a concubine again, but was rejected.

"It's okay, just look at the autumn rain, what a good artistic conception." Zhao Pu sighed. It would be great if he could write poems and lyrics. When he had time, he would go to the grave to read it to her. After reading it, burn it to her. She would definitely hear it and receive it.

She must have been desperate when she left. Zhao Pu just wanted to tell her that he loved her, but was incompetent and weak, so he gave up.

"The second brother came here last time and talked about opening a semicolon. What's the master thinking?" Since Zhao Pu refused to go back, let's talk to him.

"It's OK, he can do it." The humiliation last time made Zhao Pu see through a lot of things. It's not that you can get respect from others just by being humble.

He gave many suggestions for the Song Dynasty, but why? He looked down on him, just because he was not a professional and because he had no education? Zhao Pu asked himself, "I have done a lot for the Song Dynasty and his Zhao brothers, but he can't control what others do to him, but the actions of the Zhao brothers disappointed him."

In fact, Zhao Pu is also stubborn, compared to Zhao Kuangyin's worship

Brothers, those Jiedushi who held heavy troops pushed him to the throne with one hand, but ended up as a rich man. He was pretty good, at least he was still standing in the temple.

I always thought before that when I made money, he could make good friends like Chen Yilun, but Zhao Guangyi's behavior led him to a state of doom.

No matter how it was covered up, the news spread throughout the court like wings, and many people were known on the streets and alleys. Since then, there have been fewer memorials impeaching him, Zhao Pu, and even if there are, they were all detained by the officials.

But these will only make Zhao Pu even more angry, and he does not need mercy or charity.

He is diligent, hardworking, smart, and has a great luck. He stays by Qianlong's side at the beginning. This final outcome shouldn't be the case.

"Master, you have to pay much attention to the business of Yuqing Pavilion. After all, there are still many officials in the official family." Wei was very worried. If his master was like this, what would he do if he offended those two people?

"I feel relieved to have my second brother in charge. As for the top, you don't have to worry. The more you do this, the more they feel relieved." If he was still kind and just like before, then the two brothers would be afraid of him. Zhao Pu's status today is based on his understanding of the superior intention.

They will feel relieved if they are unhappy when they are on the surface. Moreover, they have suffered great grievances, so they can only comfort themselves, otherwise they will inevitably leave a reputation for treating their heroes. Although most of the officials do not like him, they are also afraid that this matter will fall on them, and Zhao Laoer's appearance is too disgusting.

"Master, someone has come from the palace. The official family will let you enter the palace." The housekeeper trotted over, not even caring about umbrellas.

"I understand! Get ready for the car!" Zhao Pu nodded and looked at his clothes, but there was nothing wrong with it.

Since that day, Zhao Kuangyin has never been to Zhao Pu's mansion again. He did not expect that the woman was so strong that she committed suicide by hanging herself on the beam.

He also scolded Guangyi and wanted to beat him up, but after all, he was too old and wanted to be ashamed, so he had to give up.

"Official family, Lord Zhao, the Privy Councilor, arrived!" In the imperial study room of the imperial palace, Eunuch Mei wrote his hands in his sleeves and walked in with small steps to report.

"Hurry up!" Zhao Kuangyin nodded. He hadn't met Zhao Pu in private for a long time. He originally thought it was just a trivial matter, but who knew that Yao's suicide was hanging on the beam, which made him feel quite tricky.

"My minister Zhao Pu, come to the official family!" Zhao Pu entered the imperial study and bowed his hand. He did not have the enthusiasm of the past, but was also in line with the rules.

"Old Zhao is here, please give me a seat and serve tea!" Zhao Kuangyin nodded. He could feel Zhao Pu's dissatisfaction. It was normal. After a longer time, it would slowly pass. A woman he met halfway through was not his biological son.

Zhao Pu sighed in his heart, why did he let go of it? This treatment has improved. In the past, he was thinking about this person's preferences and wanted to show it, but he was often disliked.

"The officials summoned the ministers to the palace, but did they give me instructions?" Zhao Pu sat down, no longer having the same caution as before.

The teacup brought by the eunuch Lao Mei was also taken over and placed it aside.

"In the Nanchu side, after the autumn harvest, it's time to start. The supply of materials should be the function of the Ministry of War. The Privy Council is also responsible for the preparation of the war, so naturally he has to summon his beloved ministers to come and ask how he is prepared." Zhao Kuangyin had to do with Nanchu, and he needed to gradually clean up the surrounding areas.

Separatist forces.

Although he went to Nanping last year, the price he paid was too high. Zhao Kuangyin spent a lot of effort to promote it before he barely defined it as a big victory.

"Material allocation has been underway since the beginning of the year. At present, the imperial guards in Jiangling are abundant. The weapons can withstand five major battles. The food and grass can currently be supplied for two months, and after the autumn harvest, it will be enough for half a year." Although Zhao Pu was dissatisfied, he did not dare to slack off in these matters. Murong Yanzhao was originally unhappy with him. If he got angry and found Kaifeng, the whole court would probably be waiting to see him laugh at him.

"Well, can the Privy Council have any plans for this combat strategy?" Zhao Kuangyin nodded. He was born in the army and knew that there was enough reserves.

At this time, it was less than two months before the autumn harvest. After the autumn harvest, Jiangling would have sufficient food and grass, and the imperial guards could collect it on the spot to reduce the loss of transportation.

"No!" Zhao Pu shook his head. The Privy Council was originally a decoration, mainly to convey the meaning of the officials and classify the military information sent from various places for the officials to read.

"Old Zhao, the Privy Council should have planned and strategically played a role in wars, so we should not be too negligent." Zhao Kuangyin felt that since Lao Zhao was in a wrong state, he would increase his work and gradually forget it when he was busy.

"The official family, the Privy Council has no experience in this matter." Zhao Pu sneered in his heart. When will you let others intervene in such a military and national affairs? Besides, who would take the Privy Council's plan seriously? Isn't this just delaying your efforts?

"It all started with no experience. Get ready first, and I will hand over the plan in three days." Zhao Kuangyin didn't plan to get anything Zhao Pu could make. He was just tormenting him. He was like a hawk. When he was tired, he could only surrender.

"I obey the order!" Zhao Pu didn't care. There were still some people in the Privy Council. He just needed to keep orders and keep a good eye on it.

"Then let me tell me about the business of Yuqing Pavilion. Such a big business cannot happen." Zhao Kuangyin was also helpless, why did he start to lose money? He didn't think it before, but now he realized that Zhao Pu's role is quite big, at least it can help him attract firepower. Now those clear-headed officials have turned their guns and the wars are everywhere in the court, which makes Zhao Kuangyin feel uncomfortable.

"Next month, I am expected to open a semicolon in Henan Prefecture. At the beginning of next year, I will open a semicolon in Daming Prefecture and Jingzhao Prefecture. If the money can keep up, I will open a new one in Fengxiang Prefecture in the second half of next year." In the Song Dynasty, except for Kaifeng Prefecture, these four places are the most prosperous, with many powerful and noble gentry in the country and enough consumption capacity.

"Are you too anxious? I'm worried that once the war in Nanchu begins, Nantang may have small actions. If it affects the business route..." Zhao Kuangyin's suspicion is not without basis. At present, Yu Qingge's business is the largest investment in his private warehouse. If it is broken all of a sudden, it will really hurt.

The Southern Tang Navy is likely to be in trouble, and all the materials sold by Yuqing Pavilion need to cross the river, and this crossing channel is controlled by the Southern Tang Navy.

"Official family, the prefect is here." Lao Mei saw a little eunuch winking at him at the door, and knew that something was wrong. When she walked closer, she asked, it was Zhao Guangyi who came.
