Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Li Chengqian sent several telegrams to Li Shimin, saying nothing more than two words: send money!

Looking at the still silent telegraph machine, Li Chengqian stretched out and lay back on his bamboo recliner.

Lu Ru'an walked into the telegraph room and looked at Li Chengqian who seemed listless and joked: "Hey, I'm fighting outside and you're resting in the back room. It's quite cool."

Li Chengqian told Lu Ru'an about the inability to issue treasure notes as salary. Lu Ru'an frowned: "Then it can only be postponed until the middle of next month. What if it doesn't arrive until the middle of next month?"

Li Chengqian sighed: "Then I have to use Gu's face to get credit at Baoli Trading Company and issue IOUs to the workers for wages. Alas..."

Lu Ruan thought of the business: "By the way, everyone who came to register today has been registered. The employment arrangements have also been made. Someone will come to work tomorrow, as for food?"

Li Chengqian sat up in shock when he was dying: "My hair! Yes, it is a problem for so many people to eat. It belongs to his grandma. Let's find Lu Yuanshan to buy 5,000 taels of grain and canned food first."

Lu Ru'an saw Li Chengqian rummaging through the bag next to him and found a small wallet. It was full of votes worth ten thousand taels, including dividends from Yuchi Baoqi, money from Li Shimin's private treasury, and money that Empress Changsun was worried about her son giving. .

Li Chengqian nodded: "It's okay, I still have a hundred thousand taels, let's use it first."

Lu Ru'an did some calculations: "A worker has five to seven taels of treasure a month, so your money is enough to pay wages."

Li Chengqian snorted: "I can pay for a month, how can I pay for a lifetime? What the hell, public and private use is the most undesirable. Of course, if you have money, you are willing to use it for both public and private use, that's fine, but I Money is not good, but my money is useful.”

Lu Ru'an secretly cursed for being stingy: "By the way, tomorrow the Yamen will send people to Chen Village to register those villagers who can't come. Will His Highness go with him?"

Li Chengqian was stunned: "No, if you are not here and I am not here, how do those workers know how to build it?"

Lu Ruan's eyes widened: "Can't Chen Renqiang be a supervisor?"

Li Chengqian listened to the cicadas chirping outside, frowned, and lay back on his recliner, turning his back and not looking at Lu Ru'an: "It's too hot, so I won't go. I still have to guard the telegraph machine and wait for supplies from Chang'an. information."

Seeing Li Chengqian like this, Lu Ruan simply lay down on Li Chengqian's recliner, and the two of them started to lie back to back.

Li Chengqian's back was pressed against Lu Ru'an's back. Li Chengqian was afraid of the heat, so he couldn't hold back at all: "Can't you go back to your own room and lie down? What are you doing instead of lying on the lonely bamboo recliner! Rolling, rolling, trying to get up It’s prickly heat!”

Lu Ruan was silent for a long time: "Hey, do you miss home? I miss Qing'er, my parents and my grandmother."

Li Chengqian calmed down for a moment, home? What is home? Do you miss your father? He came out to help him develop Lingnan, but he didn't even provide start-up capital. What a nonsense.

Where is the queen mother? I really miss my mother. What will my mother be doing now? Doing some embroidery in Li Zhengdian? Or manage the input expenditure of internal funds?

Speaking of which, my little sister went to sea with Xiaobao, so I missed her.

Suddenly, Yuchi Baoqi's sinister face appeared in Li Chengqian's mind: "Oh, they say that His Royal Highness has made great achievements. Let me see what his future prospects are like? Lingnan has been developed like this? My evaluation is rubbish..."

Li Chengqian stood up like a carp, and the bamboo recliner was already bearing the weight of two people. Li Chengqian's folded bamboo recliner was broken in the middle.

Lu Ru'an was the worst. He flew up and stayed in the air for a while. He fell directly into the middle of the broken bamboo lounge chair and was caught.

"I'm guessing, Li Chengqian! Are you crazy? Ouch, ouch."

Li Chengqian didn't even look at Lu Ru'an. He grabbed the pen on the table and began to write a plan for the development of Lingnan. He combined the possible location advantages of Lingnan that he had summarized before and the results of his on-the-spot investigation to start making plans.

Lu Ru'an finally got up. Li Chengqian held the initial plan he had just written in his hands and went to Zhao Zhe to implement it. Lu Ru'an was knocked to the ground and sat down again.

Li Chengqian glanced at Lu Ru'an: "With your body, I'm afraid that after you develop Lingnan, you won't be able to come back alive. By then, I will definitely be willing to pickle you with salt and pepper, and I will definitely keep you in the northwest city of Liangzhou." .”

Li Chengqian found Zhao Zhe. Zhao Zhe took off his shirt and was chopping bamboo. In a few seconds, a piece of bamboo fell to the ground, which was very aesthetically powerful.

"Why are you splitting so much bamboo?"

Zhao Zhe chuckled: "I learned from A Yong, weaving bamboo mats. Also, won't there be a lot of people coming to work tomorrow? The sun is so bright, so let's set up a few big awnings to avoid the heat."

Li Chengqian gave the initial plan he had written to Zhao Zhe. Zhao Zhe cut the bamboo knife directly on the bamboo to fix it, clapped his hands and came to take the paper from Li Chengqian's hand.

"Build the chicken farm first, and then expand the scale. Cut down some woods and bamboo forests, and prepare a piece of land for dormitories. You need to dig the foundation and drive piles."

Lu Ruan ran over panting: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, how will we prepare food for tomorrow? His Royal Highness gave money to Baoli Trading Company to buy canned food and polished rice, but it is difficult to prepare meals for thousands of people."

Zhao Zhe thought for a while: "Half steamed buns and half rice. The rice stove is not enough. I will dig a few pits for earthen stoves later. Baoli Trading Company should sell pots and cauldrons. I will buy a dozen when I go to buy grain and canned food." "

Zhao Zhe turned to Li Chengqian and said, "Tomorrow I will arrange for people to take care of the chicken farm first, and then we will dig a well. Water is still a priority. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Li Chengqian patted Zhao Zhe on the shoulder, his hands stained with sweat: "Okay, thousands of people must pay attention to the water they use."

Lu Ru'an seemed to suddenly remember something and finished shouting: "How could I forget such an important thing? Tomorrow we can't build a chicken farm first, we have to build toilets first. Yu Chishan, the general manager of the Northland, wrote in the final chapter of large-scale project development The first sentence is..."

"A miraculous project has countless miraculous toilets behind it - Yuchi Mountain."

Li Chengqian and Zhao Zhe opened their mouths, thinking that if thousands of people pulled together, wouldn't it be like drowning in a mountain of excrement?

In the dog days of summer, both Li Chengqian and Zhao Zhe shivered: "I heard it, let's forget about the chicken farm tomorrow. Although the incubator is anxious, I don't want to be the first prince to drown in feces."

Zhao Zhe felt his lips were dry. How many toilets and sheds would be needed to build this?
