After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1447 How do you deal with this?

Smart people understand things immediately.

Mirror hummed, "Qingyang's reaction is very quick."

He Lingchuan has been working non-stop recently. As soon as he got King Yao's permission, he immediately rushed to the government office to speed up the progress. He wanted to complete the process before Qingyang received the news and reacted.

But Qingyang was not a pushover. Less than a day after King Yao gave her approval, she asked He Yang to go to the Imperial Household Department to cause trouble for He Lingchuan.

Of course she knew that He Ling's construction in Youhu was aimed at her.

As for why the Imperial Household Department dared to go against the will of King Yao and strangle He Lingchuan?

Most of them involve some complicated tricks.

Mirror sighed: "I thought that with the special approval of King Yao, this matter could be done quickly."

Isn't it that when King Yao gives an order, the officials below will follow it?

"King Yao can't do whatever he wants on his own little piece of land. The officials under him have plenty of excuses and ways to evade." The bureaucracy of Yao is already 200 years old and has its own will. "This also shows how meticulous Beijia's infiltration of Yao is. Qingyang even got his hands on a workshop."

When Yuwen Xu came over, He Lingchuan was checking the revised drawings. When he saw him, he immediately drank tea and sat down.

Not only did he know that the approval of Youhu Villa was stuck, he also knew the reason.

"The Imperial Household Department reported that many aspects of the Youhu Villa plan proposed by He Daozhu were rejected, and the court stated that Youhu Villa was built on the old land of the royal family, and the approval must be detailed, the construction must be cautious, and the supervision must be strict, so as not to reduce the reputation of the royal family and destroy the feng shui of the capital."

As soon as He Lingchuan heard the word "in the court", he knew that the king had taken the initiative and the other party had taken it. "What does your Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty, I will urge you to rectify the situation as soon as possible." The words from the Imperial Household Department seemed to be reasonable. What else could the King of Yao say in front of all the officials?
He Lingchuan smiled bitterly.

Yuwen Xu coughed lightly and said, "Let me tell you something. The chief official of the Imperial Household Department, Liang Xiaohao, has a father who is the chief priest of the Miaozhantian Temple in Tianshui City."

He Lingchuan understood without having to explain.

"No wonder." No wonder Liang Xiaohao dared to pretend to obey but actually disobey. Other departments cooperated with Youhu Villa, but he was the only one who found some "legitimate reasons" to obstruct the progress. It turned out that his background was too strong.

Yao country believed in Miaozhantian, and the status of the chief envoy of sacrifice to Tianshui City was like the status of the chief envoy of Duyun in the heavenly palace to Lingxu City. The person who was closest to the gods and could listen to the oracles the most naturally had the highest status.

There are gods above and people below, so King Yao is of course very respectful to the chief priest of the sacrifice.

He Lingchuan didn't want to ask how Liang Xiaohao became the head of the Imperial Household Department, but the review of Youhu Villa was stuck. How should this problem be solved?
The soul-catching mirror in his arms was furious: "I knew Qingyang would not sit idly by."

He Lingchuan curled his lips but said nothing.

If he comes to cause trouble, will Qingyang give in? As a veteran in the officialdom, she must react quickly.

However, Yuwen Xu immediately said, "But the Lord also appointed Lord You Rongzhi as the construction supervisor of Youhu Villa on the spot."

He Lingchuan knew who You Rongzhi was, but he still asked verbally: "Who is this Mr. You...?"

"He won't make things difficult for Master He."

He Lingchuan exhaled heavily: "That's good, that's good!"

This time, Yao Wang finally reacted and used You Rongzhi to take over the job, blocking the on-site supervisor's hole first. Otherwise, Qingyang would have planted his own people, and they would not be here to supervise the work but to cause trouble.

If King Yao is a bad teammate, it will be too difficult for He Lingchuan to deal with Qingyang alone.

He came to Yaodu to stir up trouble, and he had to rely on the power of King Yao. Fortunately, his prediction was not wrong. King Yao had been sitting on the throne for more than 20 years, and he was also a tactful and calculating king, completely different from the King Yuan and King Wu he had met.

He Lingchuan thanked Yuwen Xu again: "Thanks to Brother Yuwen for recommending it to me, otherwise Youhu Villa Jingshe would have been sold in a hurry and I wouldn't have had time to advertise it."

He had just arrived, how could he have many connections? After Yuwenxu returned from drinking in Maochun Tower, he ordered people to spread the news.

Any gossip that contains the words "Yao Wang" or "You Hu" can run very fast even if it doesn't have legs.

It's only been two days, the people are still confused, He Lingchuan only wants to promote it among the top nobles in Yaodu. It doesn't matter if most nobles don't know it in time, they will know it later.

Yuwen Xu smiled and said, "After Gu Xuan left Maochun Tower, he went to the South Lake for a date. There are more handsome men there. Your Youhu Villa attracted a lot of people's interest on the spot."

Gu Xuan had rejected He Lingchuan once, and now this was just a small compensation.

"Brother He's Youhu plan, how are we going to proceed now?"

He Lingchuan casually took out a few approval documents:
"Let's do this first while we wait for approval."

The Imperial Household Department cannot stick to Yangshan everywhere, which is too ugly. Although those who are interested know what is going on, they still need to do some surface work. So He Lingchuan searched around and found that there are still some places in his Youhu Villa that can be started, such as the gate of the villa, some roads, and landscaping.

All of these have been approved and are the result of efforts made by Huang Naxuan and others.

Yuwenxu picked it up and looked at it: "Build the gate and the road first?"

"Yes." He Lingchuan sighed, "Since the Imperial Household Department won't approve it, I'll just pick the ones I can do and start working. I can't just keep waiting. I'll have to hold a grand opening ceremony, and I'll have to trouble Brother Yuwen to find an audience for me."

"I'll lend you my opera troupe." Yuwen Xu nodded. "If you need anything else, just tell me."

"We have already found vehicles, tools, and construction teams." These are easy to find in Tianshui City, where the economy and trade are developed. If one company doesn't want to do it, you can find another one. He Lingchuan stroked his chin, "There is no construction materials for the time being."

Just as Yuwen Xu was about to speak, Fan Shuang strode in from outside and said excitedly:

"The Chibao sale is about to start!"

He knew that He Lingchuan was also bidding for a house tonight, so he rushed to grab a front row seat.

"Brother Yuwen, are you coming with us?"

Yuwen Xu smiled: "How can I miss such a lively event?"

Taking the opportunity to release water before departure, Soul Mirror asked He Lingchuan: "Hey, Qingyang asked the Imperial Household Department to strangle you, how are you going to deal with it?"

"As a foreign businessman, what can I do with the Imperial Household Department?" He Lingchuan was also thinking about this problem. "It will take the King of Yao to come forward and solve it."

"He's already scared, and asked the Imperial Household Department to urge you to make corrections." Mirror said indignantly, "You old piece of crap! You can't even handle such a small matter."

"King Yao has always been the supreme ruler of this country. He has been in office for decades and his regime is relatively stable." He Lingchuan said calmly, "It is impossible for him to not handle this matter. It just depends on whether he wants to do it."

For a small project like Helingchuan and Youhu Villa, King Yao didn't need to get into trouble with the temple.

The most important job and biggest challenge for those in power is to make trade-offs.

No matter how reasonable the words of capable ministers and generals are, they are only suggestions. The decision still has to be made by those in power, and they have to bear the consequences themselves.

Mirror said, "So, there is a solution? How can we get King Yao to work in the Imperial Household Department?"

"Let King Yao see the tangible benefits." He Lingchuan's eyes were shining, "We must make him realize that building Youhu Villa will be of great benefit to him!"

"I'm going to hand the weight to King Yao and let the scales tip in our favor." He washed his hands and walked out, "Starting tonight."

……

Chibao was a place name more than a hundred years ago. After Tianshui City swallowed it up, it was concentrated into an alley.

The Chibao Sales House was located at the largest and most conspicuous intersection. Its sign was huge, but it only had eight doors. Today, there was a constant stream of people, and carriages of dignitaries came one after another.

He Lingchuan and the other two had already gotten off the bus and were walking. When they arrived at the entrance of the sale, they saw a large sign that read:

“The first house on the south bank of Youhu Lake to be auctioned!”

The second column has a slightly smaller font:
"Facing the lake and enjoying the view, this is the first official residence in Youhu in 175 years!"

The black text on a white background was bold and He Lingchuan felt uncomfortable as soon as he saw it.

It’s really... unlucky!
But the location of this sign is particularly conspicuous, and it will definitely be the first thing people see when they pass by.

During the few moments that He Lingchuan stood still, passers-by would take a look at it, and some would even stop to read the small words on the sign.

Yuwenxu pointed at the sign and said, "On the day Brother He sent Youhu Jingshe to auction, Chibao Sales House wrote this sign and hung it up."

He Lingchuan thanked him: "Brother Yuwen, thank you for your trouble."

"No, no, it has nothing to do with me. When Chibao gets a particularly valuable and eye-catching item, it will spread the word." Yuwen Xu smiled, "In Tianshui City, it has its own set of channels for transferring information, which is more useful than us spreading it ourselves."

Chibao's business was very big, and it maintained good relations with all kinds of dignitaries. Just like when Fang Canran was lurking in Lingxu City to get intelligence, he managed the Dunyuan sale for the Jinjiao family. From then on, he had many connections and wide channels, and he could get along with all kinds of people.

He Lingchuan and the other two walked in.

There were so many guests that they were shoulder to shoulder all the way, and sometimes they had to turn sideways to pass through.

Fan Shuang was surprised and asked, "I've been here a few times before. How could there be so many people here?"

The Chibao sale is divided into big and small auctions. The big auctions are carefully prepared in advance, and usually have a finale treasure, so more people come; the small auctions are very routine, sometimes there are only four or five people sitting in the side hall, it is empty, and two of them come just to have a cup of warm water.

But now the hall, which can accommodate 300 to 400 people, is almost full, with only the VIP seats in the front row half empty. The seats are gone, the hall is full of standing space, and even the corridor outside is full of people.

Yuwen Xu was treated as a VIP and dragged He Lingchuan to sit in the front row. He also greeted many people along the way.

With many nobles coming here, this place becomes a good place for them to socialize.

"I think they are 99% likely to come here for Youhu Jingshe." Fan Shuang said to He Lingchuan, "If nothing else, it's good to just come and see the excitement."
