The old emperor just sent him to southern Xinjiang to sharpen his mind, and there is a high probability that he will be recalled to the capital in the future.
Quickly rushing to the gate of the county government office, the Confucian scholar finally saw the figure, and ran over excitedly: "I want to see the prince!"
The two guards guarding the gate were drowsy when they suddenly heard someone talking. They looked over in a daze, but couldn't hear what the person said.
The Confucian scholar rushed forward, panting heavily.
Before he could catch his breath, two guards had already supported him, one on the left and one on the right.
"What are you doing?" The Confucian scholar was a little confused.
The guard asked familiarly: "Are you sick?"
"You are sick, can you talk?" the Confucian scholar cursed, but he calmed down soon.
As soon as I came up, I asked if I was sick. Could it be that the plague really broke out in Qingshui County again?
"It seems that I'm not sick." The guard said self-consciously, and then took out a piece of paper: "First deposit this picture, and register the name later."
The Confucian scholar looked at the document in front of him and frowned slightly: "Labor contract, what is this?"
"Literate?" The guard was a little surprised.
Confucian scholars were attracted by the content of the labor contract and did not answer the words of the two guards.
The guards looked at each other, and one of them took out cinnabar and smeared it on the thumb of the Confucian scholar, directly pressing it on the labor contract.
Before the Confucian scholar could react, the guard directly carried him and threw him on a carriage: "Send it to the construction site."
The Confucian scholar was stunned for a long time before he realized that the carriage had gone far away, so the Confucian scholar could only shout at the top of his voice, "I want to see the prince!"
"Who doesn't want to see the lord? If you want to see the lord, go to Hongxingfang, what are you doing in the yamen?" the guard said with a speechless expression.
"I was sent by the emperor!" The Confucian scholar's voice became farther and farther away.
"What did he say Huang?"
"Who cares about it, take off work tomorrow, go dig a canal for a day, and go to Hongxingfang to relax after digging?"
Li An didn't force the guards to dig the canal, but the guards were also greedy for the wages for digging the canal, so when they were off duty and had nothing to do, they would go to the nearby construction site to dig the canal, and the work would end every day.
When Li An came back from Hongxingfang, he was blocked by Tian Qi when he arrived at the gate of the county government office.
"I said, Lao Tian, you are not my wife, why are you squatting at the gate of the county government office every day?" Li An joked with a smile.
"My lord, I have business with you." Tian Qi cupped his hands and saluted.
"what's up?"
"What should we do with those wealthy businessmen who are locked up in the cells? Keeping them locked up is not an option." Tian Qi said helplessly.
"What, you're still locking them up?" Li An was surprised.
Tian Qi was speechless, well, the lord is busy reciting poems with the women in the brothel, and completely forgot about it.
"Old Tian, I have to talk about you now, why are you still locking them up? Didn't the money and food already come in hand?"
"Then the officer will let them go."
"Why let them go?" Li An looked at Tian Qi like a fool.
Tian Qi looked confused:? ? ?
Li An walked towards the county government office on his own: "It's not that I said you, why keep them locked up all the time, don't they eat and drink in the prison all from the government office? You don't know if you are not in charge of the family. Got it, I have to pull your ears again."
"My lord, can you forget about my wife?"
Tian Qi looked embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject: "Then what does the prince plan to do with them?"
"What do I need to say? Send them directly to the construction site and keep them for dry food? They are all big and round, and they have to eat several steamed buns for a meal. With so much grain, they have to grow several catties of meat to raise pigs."
"Send them to the construction site? Wouldn't that be unkind?" Tian Qidu began to sympathize with those wealthy businessmen.
All the family property was blackmailed by Li An, and he was tortured in a cell for so long, and now he has to send it to the construction site...
"Kindness is for people, not for animals." Li An remained unmoved: "You can deal with their crimes according to their crimes, let them go away after the water conservancy projects with minor crimes are completed.
The unforgivable crimes let them dig to death! "
……
Time passed, and on this day, there was a sudden explosion in the county government: "Boom~"
In an instant, all the guards surrounded the explosion.
In the inner courtyard, Li An stood there with a black face.
"My lord, is there an assassin?" Liu Qing looked around vigilantly.
Liu Yiyi took a wet towel and carefully wiped Li An's cheeks.
"Master, it's too dangerous to get gunpowder. Don't blow it up to me one day. No, you have to find someone who is not afraid of death to get it. Dog's life is the most important thing." Li An muttered to himself.
Then he looked at Liu Qing.
Liu Qing met Li An's gaze, did not speak, and waited for Li An's orders.
After thinking for a while, Li An looked away from Liu Qing. Liu Qing is the one with the highest force value under his command, and the basis for his life is to avoid accidents.
Finally, Li An fixed his eyes on the curious Wang Hu.
"Are you afraid of death?" Li An asked.
"?" Wang Hu was stunned, then wiped the back of his head and smiled honestly: "My lord, I, Wang Hu, may be afraid of other things, but I am not afraid of death."
"That's enough." Li An patted Wang Hu on the shoulder: "From now on, you will be in charge of developing gunpowder."
Seeing Li An's serious face, Wang Hu was a little frightened: "My lord, you won't really die, will you?"
"Not necessarily, it's possible to blow off a leg, or blow off an arm or something." Li An said the chilling words easily.
Wang Hu took a step back subconsciously: "My lord, why don't you let someone else come?"
"I invite you to drink flower wine tonight."
"Damn it, it's done!"
……
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
The sound of explosions came to the ears, and the guards of the county government were startled at first, but gradually they got used to it.
That night, Wang Hu, who was lucky enough to survive, grabbed Li An's arm and said, "My lord, your job is more dangerous than digging canals. No, you have to treat me to flower wine now, or you won't accept it by then."
"What kind of person am I, Li An?" Li An said righteously.
Wang Hu nodded.
Li An's pretty boy rolled his eyes, and immediately looked at Tian Qi: "Old Tian, let's have a drink together tonight?"
"My lord, you know that officials don't like the land of smoke and willows, and my wife..." Tian Qi smiled awkwardly.
Li An tried to persuade him for a long time, but Tian Qi refused to go, so Li An had no choice but to leave with Wang Hu.
"My lord, why do you have to drag County Magistrate Tian there?"
"Who will pay the bill if Lao Tian doesn't go? We can't keep drinking flower wine to keep accounts, can we? The two of us have kept all four brothels in the county.
If the prostitution continues for nothing, the two of us will be blacklisted by the brothel! Li An rubbed his temples with a headache.
"Didn't the lord rob so much money before?" Wang Hu was puzzled, the lord extorted a lot of money from those wealthy businessmen, but the lord was always thrifty and never spent money extravagantly.
Every time I go to drink Huajiu, I keep an account.
"Money should be spent wisely." Li An sighed.
Wang Hu felt that the prince just couldn't bear to use his own money to go whoring...
Chapter 15 is almost finished
"I want to go back to Qingshui County, I want to see the prince!" A certain construction site, a Confucian scholar suddenly sat up from the bed and yelled.
His fellow workers in the dormitory were no longer surprised, and looked at Confucianism speechlessly: "Stop yelling every day, the project will be finished in just over a month, and you can go back then."
"There's nothing wrong with digging ditches here. You work five hours a day. You can sit down and rest when you're tired. There's no overseer to beat you. You can still eat and drink enough for every meal. If you leave it before, you'll have a good harvest." Only when can we have this life.
Besides, there is still a salary of [-] Wen a day, and no one deducts it, how good is it?
If it were me, I would not be in a hurry to go back. I would like to work for a few more months. "
The attitude of the people has also changed from crying and complaining to their fathers and mothers, to one of joy and inextricability.
"Of course I'm different from you fools, but I have an important job to do!" The Confucian scholar glared angrily.
Although what the common people said was the truth, as a scholar, he could not bear to survive this period of physical strength!
"Where's the supervisor? I want to see the supervisor!" the Confucian scholar yelled.
Suddenly, a broken straw sandal flew towards the Confucian scholar and landed directly on the Confucian scholar's face.
"Be quiet for me, if you don't have a good rest, how can you have the strength to go to work tomorrow?"
……
In the capital, the old emperor didn't know that the eyeliner he sent had already been thrown by Li An's people to dig a canal. At this moment, he was pacing back and forth in the study.
"Zhu Wen hasn't sent a letter yet?" The old emperor asked the eunuch beside him.
"Your Majesty, Bachelor Zhu has not yet written."
"Could something have happened?" The old emperor frowned.
"Your Majesty, do you still want to send someone to Qingshui County?"
"Send someone over there."
……
half a month later.
"Still no news?"
"Your Majesty, the people we sent to Qingshui County, as soon as they arrived in Qingshui County, it was as if the world had evaporated, and they didn't receive any news at all."
"What the hell is this bastard Li An doing?" The old emperor only felt a splitting headache.
No wonder the people sent by the old emperor were useless.
It's just that in today's Qingshui County, there is no one on the street. No matter how good at disguising you are, once you enter the city, there is no place for you to pretend.
Then, without waiting for these people to react, they were forced to sign a labor contract by Ang Li's guards, and they were thrown to dig a canal.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if the old emperor came in person, if there were fewer people with him, he would not have been able to find Li An immediately.
I also have to be thrown to the construction site to dig for ten days and a half months...
On this day, Li An was teaching Liu Yiyi to sing modern pop songs. She found that Liu Yiyi's voice was very nice, so it was a pity to let her arrange the schedule for her.
So he planned to train Liu Yiyi well.
Liu Yiyi's melodious singing echoed in the yard, and Li An was excited when he heard it, Tian Qi pushed the door open and entered.
"My lord, something has happened!"
"Old Tian, I didn't mean you, you are irritable every day, it's not good."
Li An scolded Tian Qi first.
"Tell me, what's the matter."
"It's like this, my lord. Recently, the workers on the construction site have become more and more lazy. The progress of the canal repair is getting worse day by day, and the soldiers dare not use force to supervise them. If this continues, I'm afraid they won't be able to complete the work on time!"
"Well, it's not a big deal, I've thought it would happen a long time ago." Li An said indifferently.
The common people now rely on the construction of water conservancy projects to eat, and they can earn an extra day's wages if the water conservancy project is delayed by one day.
This is a common occurrence no matter what time period it is.
"Then what should we do? If we can't fix it on time and missed the planting season, how will we spend the second half of the year?" Tian Qi was really anxious.
These foolish people, don't they know that the reason why the prince rushed to the construction period is to let them have a good harvest in the second half of the year?
As the official of the parents of the people in Qingshui County, he wanted to take a whip to wake up these foolish people himself.
