Chapter 68 The Four Great Families

"I heard from Brother Song that the Chen family goes too far in bullying others." Liang Fu, the head of the Liang family, calculated and found that what the head of the Qi family said was true. He just got half a percent last year, but he opened his mouth again this year and lost everything. A half-percent member is also

The 70,000 to 80,000 yuan in vain a year, after excluding the filial piety given to the prince, there are still almost 50,000 taels.

"Brother Song, why don't you ask the prince to come out and make the decision?" Qi Zheng thought for a moment. The Song family has quite a bit of respect in the palace. The youngest daughter of the Song family is the prince's beloved concubine. If the prince speaks, the Chen family can still turn the world upside down.

.

"I'm afraid you two brothers don't know that the sores on the prince's back are getting worse and worse. The palace has called in famous doctors, but there is no improvement." Song Lian also had a headache, otherwise how could he tolerate the Chen family being so presumptuous.

"The rumors are actually true, what should we do? Chen Hongjin has over ten thousand elite men, why don't we win over Zhang Hansi, the deputy commander of the army?" Qi Zheng thought that Zhang Hansi was the only one in the entire Qingyuan Army who could resist Chen Hongjin. If he got three of them,

With his support, Chen Hongjin will not be afraid of him.

"No, General Zhang is already old. How can he be Chen Hongjin's opponent? If we show our support for Zhang Hansi, once the army is defeated, the three of us will have no choice but to flee." Liang Fu shook his head. He knew Zhang Hansi well and was very old.

, although he has some prestige, he cannot lead troops to fight.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Qi Zheng was really anxious. This wouldn't work, and that wouldn't work either. He couldn't just sit back and wait for death.

"The Chen family has calculated our situation accurately and dared to be so aggressive. Since you two have no good ideas, you might as well listen to me. Let's broaden our horizons and take a look outside." Song Lian pointed to the north. Since

If there are no good candidates in the Qingyuan Army, then they will jump out and look for outside help.

"Brother Song, how can this be done? There are only a few loyal soldiers who can fight, and they have to guard against the Zhangwu Army in Fuzhou. Besides, water from afar cannot quench the thirst nearby." Qi Zheng directly objected, hoping that the loyal soldiers might as well support Zhang Hansi

Woolen cloth.

"Second brother Qi, listen to the big brother." Liang Fu glanced at Qi Zheng with disdain. The Qi family in Nuo Da didn't even know what was going on in Jianzhou.

"Brother Qi probably doesn't know that the new governor of Jianzhou, Mr. Sun, has already taken the entire Jianzhou into his pocket. Moreover, this governor is not yet weak in age, but his fighting power is extremely strong. He takes the lead in every battle and kills countless enemies.

.As far as I know, Jianzhou currently has nearly 10,000 capable soldiers, all of whom have been fought on the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness is not low." Song Lian said with an envious look on his face, if his Song family can produce such a talent, how can he think of his Chen family?

face.

"Brother Song, this is a plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf. Maybe we will all capsize." Liang Fu looked at the stunned Qi Zheng and shook his head. He really didn't know what happened in Jianzhou.

"Brother Liang, we have to take a broader view. We cannot just guard this three-thirds of an acre of land. He has not yet lost his title, monopolizes a state, has over 10,000 men with armor, and his family is one of the top dignitaries of the imperial court. The future of such a person is uncertain.

The limit is limited, so this is a good time to get on the ship." In Song Lian's opinion, Sun Yu is a hidden dragon, and he can rise to the top of the sky when the storm hits. If he and others want to get some rain and dew, this is a good time.

"What Brother Song said is true. It's just that we have never met this new governor. We don't know what his character is like and what his strength is. Are we just going to join him rashly?" Qi Zheng finally realized what he was doing.

The governor of Jianzhou is a potential stock, but the news about him is a little slow.

Jianzhou doesn't care much, but he is not a fool.

"I'm afraid that he won't be able to survive this level. The Minxi Gang is a chess piece of Chen Hongjin's plan. He won't be able to swallow his breath if he is just pulled out." Although Liang Fu is usually not showy, he keeps staring at it.

The Chen family is well aware of these things.

"Looking back, I asked the elder of the family to go to Jianzhou to do some business and find a chance to meet the governor. Jianzhou is peaceful. It won't be a problem for us to do business here. The Chen family doesn't know about it.

It's urgent." Song Lian also thought the same way. It's better to make contact first, reveal Chen Hongjin's news to them, and sell it first. As for whether he wants to raise the stakes, it depends on whether he can pass Chen Hongjin's level.

"Brother Song is still thoughtful. In this way, it must be safer." Liang Fu felt that this was the safest way. It was better than waiting here for the Chen family to press forward step by step.

"How should the Chen family respond?" Qi Zheng scratched his head. These measures are all long-term solutions. The Chen family's request must be answered.

"Let's put it off for a while. After all, King Jinjiang is still there, so he doesn't dare to do anything." Now that he has decided to find another foreign aid, he cannot give in easily, otherwise it will only encourage the Chen family's arrogance.

The next day, a huge motorcade slowly drove out from Quanzhou and headed north. The leader was none other than Song Wumian, the eldest son of the Song family. The eldest son of the Song family had a face as good as a crown jade, a slender body, and a robe hanging from his waist.

Sword. But it would be a big mistake to think of him as a rich man who is ignorant of the world. Song Wumian went to sea on a ship when he was only twelve years old, and he was not trained as the next generation head of the family until he was twenty-five years old. These thirteen

For most of the year, he spent most of his time wandering at sea, and was used to seeing life and death.

"Dig deeper, Lao Wang, have you not eaten?" Zhang Daqiu shouted to the captain who was leading the team to dig the hole below with a drawing in one hand and a whip in the other. When the craftsman camp arrived in Jianpu, the first thing to do was not to build a

Weapons and armor, but various tools, were used for the reconstruction of Jianpu City.

"Hey, don't worry, Commander, let's keep digging." Captain Wang waved his hand, and the brothers below continued digging hard.

The entire Jianpu City has not yet been built brick by brick, and ditches are being dug. Zhang Daqiu is looking at the sewers, which are mainly used for sewage discharge. After the digging is completed, they must be built with bricks and stones, and covered with stone slabs.

Seal it with cement. Leave a trap every hundred steps for cleaning purposes. The sewage is directly led outside the city, and after simple treatment, it is used to irrigate farmland.

In addition, Cheng Zhenbei and Chen Qiba are each responsible for a canal, which diverts water directly from the Min River. One is used for residents' drinking water, and the other is used for washing clothes. The two canals are more than 20 miles long. When they are completed, they will completely solve the problem of daily life.

Water problems are much more convenient than digging a well.

When Sun Yu just revealed his plan, Xu Yi was shocked. If Sun Yu's plan is implemented, Jianzhou will be the most livable place in the world. Even Jiangning Prefecture, the rich area is cleaner, and the west side of the city is cleaner.

There is still sewage everywhere. In contrast to Sun Yu's plan, the sewage in the entire Jianzhou flows directly from the ground outside the city, so the city is naturally much cleaner.

Since the army started working in Jianpu, Jianpu has slowly regained its vitality. The surrounding farmers pick up some fruits and vegetables every day, and sometimes some meat and the like come here to sell. The Jianzhou army eats horse chews every day.

The cost was huge, and everyone was welcome. Seeing that there were many farmers and traders coming and going in Jianpu every day, some people set up a pavilion outside the city and sold herbal tea for food.

, but business is good.

"Sir, why don't we demolish this shed?" Sun Yu was inspecting the city. As a loyal henchman, Sun Sandao saw Sun Yu staring at the shed built outside the city. He probably didn't like it.

"It's okay, let's go take a look." As the governor of a state, Sun Yu definitely doesn't like this kind of random illegal construction, but now that everything is waiting for improvement, he has finally gained some popularity, so there is no need to beat him to death with a stick.

"Old man, how is business today?" Sun Yu walked into the shed and saw that it was an old man who opened the shed with his son and daughter-in-law. In addition to herbal tea, there were also some snacks such as rice noodles.

"Oh, thanks to you, today is not bad. What do you want to eat? I'll treat you to this little old man." Although the old man didn't know Sun Yu, he knew that he was a great person when he saw this posture. After all, this is the Jianpu area.

, there are only a handful of people who don’t have to work. For example, Cheng Xiaowei, who comes here to spend money every day, has to dig soil.

"I am not in the habit of freeloading, so of course I have to pay for it, two bowls of rice noodles and two bowls of herbal tea." Sun Yu smiled, this old man knew etiquette.

"What are you talking about? If you weren't tolerant, how could the little boy make a living here with peace of mind? Sir, wait a moment, it will be ready soon." The old man asked his son to serve herbal tea, put the rice noodles into the big pot, and urged

The daughter-in-law added fuel to the fire.

"How many people are there in the family?" Sun Yu picked up the herbal tea and took a sip. It was pretty good to cool down. It would be nice if there were ice cubes.

"There are five people, and my wife is taking care of the baby at home." The old man said while fishing for rice noodles.

"Is there no one farming anymore?" Sun Yu is most concerned about farming.

"It's planted. The seedlings have been planted. My son and I are here. The fields haven't been busy these two days, so I called my daughter-in-law to help." I don't dare not to plant the land. Such a little boy

This business may not be able to continue one day. The food in the fields is the old man's reassurance.

"Just don't miss the farming season. The old man's craftsmanship is quite good. When the city is built, we will definitely not be able to build a shed like this. Can we consider buying or renting a storefront?" Sun Yu tasted the craftsmanship and found that the craftsmanship was not bad. He will open a shed in the future.

Facade is also a good business.

"Where can I afford it? If the price is right, I can rent one." The old man felt sad when he thought about renting a storefront, which would incur a lot of expenses. But building a shed was not a long-term solution.

"Well, we should think about it after the city is built." After Sun Yu finished eating, he stood up and left. Sun Sandao dropped a bunch of copper coins.

"Sir, wait for me." Sun Sandao picked up the big bowl and drank the soup in one gulp.

All teams are constructing in an orderly manner. It is estimated that the trench alone will take no less than a month. With excellent tools, trench digging is naturally very fast, but Sun Yu requires that it must be built with bricks and stones, which takes a lot of effort.

, it is estimated that when the canal is repaired, the soldiers will be able to work as masons.

The craftsman camp on the other side of the canyon has been settled, and Sun Yu is probably ready to go out and get some big weapons.

"Let's go to the canyon and have a look." Sun Yu took Sun Sandao and galloped directly. In Jianpu, there is no need to bring many followers. As long as he fires an arrow, the Jianzhou Army cavalry will arrive in an instant.
