Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Chapter 155 Hongmen Commendation Meeting

At the gate of Luoyang City, Wang Jiuran, his only son Wang Tianping and their family members stood waiting for their unparalleled prince to come and make them rich.

Yuchi Baoqi opened the side curtain of the carriage and licked his lips at the carriage frame.

Wang Jiuran understood and quickly pulled Wang Tianping, the construction leader, into the carriage.

"See you, Mr. British. I miss you so much after not seeing you for a few months! The construction of the wharf and shipyard is just short of the last mud brick to be completed."

Wang Jiuran, an old guy, had his old face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile, and Wang Tianping also echoed from the side.

"As long as the British Lord puts the last brick on the tripod, the construction will be completed!"

Yuchi Baoqi looked at Wang Tianping, who was two or three shades darker, and knew that he must have worked hard. I couldn't help but feel funny that I didn't know when death was imminent.

Wang Jiuran and Wang Tianping, father and son, looked at Yuchi Baoqi's bright smile and felt very happy in their hearts. Does this mean that they will be able to control the water transportation of the capital in the future, and will they be beaten to death by money in the future?

"Your Wang family is indispensable for the construction of Luoyang Wharf and Datang's First Shipyard."

This time Yuchi Baoqi asked a thousand Tianwei troops and a thousand loyal guards to hide outside Luoyang City. The two thousand loyal guards left in the camp inside the city were already ready to seize the camp at any time.

"After my father-in-law's acceptance is completed, a city-wide commendation meeting will be held. Your Wang family will be the number one hero of this event!"

Wang Jiuran was very excited when he heard that. What this family loves most is fame and fortune. When he heard that he was going to be commended by the Duke in front of the whole city, he felt so excited that he couldn't help himself.

"Thanks to the Duke's respect, I, the Wang family of Luoyang, only follow the guidance of the Duke!"

Wang Jiuran and his son quickly expressed their loyalty, and they must hold this thigh well. They have long heard about the British Duke's reputation in front of His Majesty, and this gentleman's honor and favor are not just a boast.

The carriage stopped slowly, and Yuchi Baoqi followed the Wang family and his son to inspect the construction site.

Not to mention, the Wang family did a really good job on this project. The core and key parts are built with cement and steel bars, which looks magnificent.

"Look, Lord Duke, this pier is so magnificent. It would be no exaggeration to say that it is the largest pier in the Tang Dynasty!"

Wang Tianping felt a little proud as he looked at the project he had worked so hard to build.

Yuchi Baoqi nodded: "You are right, this place is spacious, and the commendation meeting will be held here. Call the people in the city to commend your Wang family!"

Wang Jiuran and Wang Tianping were happy to hear this, and laughed even more heartily. From now on, water transportation will bring money, and the construction of the wharf will also have a reputation.

Thinking again about the long years that the Wang family has been operating in Luoyang, [-]% of the money was spent on the construction of the dock and shipyard, but it was really worth it!

"My Lord is very satisfied! The commendation meeting will be held in three days. I will prepare a letter and send it to Your Majesty to ask for some rewards from Your Majesty."

Yuchi Baoqi returned to the Governor's Mansion after completing his inspection and looked at Jia Dunshi's sad face.

"What's going on, Mr. Jia? Who bullied you?"

Jia Dunshi had a mournful face and looked at Yuchi Baoqi with some resentment.

"My lord, the Wang family is currently building bridges, roads, wharves, and shipyards, and they are well-known. How can we touch them?"

As he spoke, he lowered his eyebrows and sighed frequently.

"Where's Ma Zhou? Why haven't you seen him?"

Yuchi Baoqi looked at the frustrated Jia Dunshi, which was really funny. However, this person is indeed a good official, asking for orders for the people but not reckless.

"Master Guo! Students meet Duke Guo!"

"You haven't communicated with Mr. Jia in the past few months? Look at Mr. Jia's gloomy face. Others thought it was my father-in-law who shortchanged him."

Ma Zhou looked at Jia Dunshi and said arrogantly: "Who told Mr. Jia to say that students are not good at acting? Don't worry, Lord Guo, the reputation of building bridges and roads now belongs to Duke Guo and Your Majesty."

Jia Dunshi listened to Ma Zhou's words with some disbelief: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who in Luoyang now doesn't know that the Wang family is benefiting the people?"

Ma Zhouzhou spread his hands and said, "I have been involved in the engineering team for a long time. The common people know that it is His Majesty and the Duke who want to build the dock. Is it true that the Wang family dares to use the title of the No. [-] Shipyard of the Tang Dynasty?"

Jia Dunshi: .....

Yuchi Baoqi looked at Jia Dunshi's embarrassing appearance and clapped her hands with laughter.

Three days came at once. Wang Jiuran, the head of the Wang family, brought his only son Wang Tianping to the dock storage yard.

All the adults of the Wang family came with their families to receive the commendation. When they saw Wang Jiuran, the current head of the Wang family, they all came together to greet him.

"Today is a big day for my Wang family. Please cheer me up in front of the Duke. I will never forgive anyone who disgraces the face of our Wang family!"

A large number of people also gathered one after another. Almost everyone in the city came to watch this commendation meeting.

Yuchi Baoqi arrived late with Jia Dunshi, and Jia Dunshi was the first to take the stage.

"I, Jia Dunshi, the governor of Luoyang, come here to host this dock completion commendation ceremony thanks to the appreciation of the Duke! I come to commend all the dock construction workers and all parties for their help!"

The huge dock storage area erupted into warm applause and cheers, and nearly a thousand members of the Wang family also applauded.

Jia Dunshi's mouth glowed with lotus flowers, and his lips and tongue moved. He kept chattering for less than half an hour, looking at Yuchi Baoqi secretly many times, and each time he asked him to delay again.

At this time, the loyal guards in the Luoyang city defense camp had already begun to take action, directly capturing all the generals and soldiers related to the Wang family, more than [-] of them.

When there are more people, there will inevitably be fish that slip through the net. Unfortunately, Yuchi Baoqi had already made all preparations. This time, the Tianwei Army and Loyalty Guards brought from Chang'an were directly stationed throughout the camp.

After controlling the situation, [-] Tianwei troops were left with loaded weapons and ammunition to guard these people, while the rest of the Tianwei troops and loyal guards went to the dock to "maintain order."

Number 001 gave Yuchi Baoqi a look of affirmation, Yuchi Baoqi gave Jia Dunshi a gesture, and Jia Dunshi, who was about to talk about himself to death on the stage, quickly ended the show.

"Now, we invite British Lieutenant Chi Baoqi to speak on stage!"

As soon as they heard the word "British Duke", the Wang family cheered and applauded like chicken blood, but they didn't know that they were already approaching the cliff.

"The construction of the wharf and the shipyard this time is perfect. It cannot be separated from the mutual help of the people and the government. During the project, there was no news of depriving the workers of rations and wages. My father-in-law is very pleased."

Wang Tianping lost his temper: "Dad, why doesn't this prince mention our Wang family? Is it possible that he wants to monopolize this credit?"

Wang Jiuran clapped his hand: "Don't worry, if Mr. Guo had this intention, why did he discuss it with us after returning to Luoyang? I believe Mr. Guo!"
