The road to the emperor begins with farming

Luo Yu was standing in front of the desk writing big characters, and there were already a dozen or so sheets on the side, and three or four more sheets would be enough for today's share.

When he finished writing, he immediately threw the pen away, Fuxi hurriedly handed him tea, and said with an apologetic smile, "Master, you've worked hard, let's have a sip of tea."

Luo Yu took a sip from the teacup, then leaned back on the chair and sighed heavily.

well!I can't live through this day.

Ever since he was sent back by Zhang Jingzhi that day, he was grounded by his father Luo Changling.Not only was his feet grounded, but he had to write twenty large characters every day and memorize ten pages of books.It is said that after the new year, he will be sent to the Imperial College to study.

Luo Yu was arguing with his father, and it wasn't his fault that he got into a fight with someone. If he was bullied, how could he not say a word?

Luo Changling said that even if it wasn't his fault at the beginning, why didn't he leave the place of right and wrong immediately, and wandered outside.If he hadn't happened to meet Zhang Jingzhi, he might have suffered a big loss.

Luo Yu can be considered to have seen the feudal dictatorship. No matter what he said, his father would not let go, and said that this time it was just a grounding.Luo Yu was so scared that he didn't even dare to let out a fart, and ran away in despair.

At night, Luo Yu cried and ran to his brother to complain. He told him what happened today, and then said: "Brother, our father is so unreasonable, you should go and persuade him."

However, Luo Zhan scolded: "Dad is right, you just do things without thinking. How can a small county town in Linjiang be comparable to the wealth and wealth of the capital? Dog, any person is either an official or a noble. You have never shown your face, and no one recognizes you. If you hadn't met Jingzhi this time, how could your few guards resist the many red-clothed guards? Those people killed you Sending you to the Red Clothes Guards prison, wouldn't anyone be able to abuse you. Just think about it."

Luo Yu was so scolded that his head slumped, and he also felt that he was too careless.Just as he was about to go back, Luo Zhan grabbed him and asked, "Did you get scared today? Sleep with me, lest you have nightmares at night."

During Luo Yu's last month in Linjiang, he slept with his brother every day, so he got used to it.So when he heard this, he nodded and climbed onto the bed very quickly.

Luo Zhan rubbed his little head, went to wash up, and then went to bed.

After Luo Changling cleaned up Luo Yu, he immediately gave Emperor Hongyou a copy of the book, and participated in the crime of not being strict in teaching his son, allowing his son to commit murder, and lying about military information in Marquis Yongping.He is just recuperating at home now, his position has not changed, and he is still the chief assistant of the court, so the playbook was sent to Emperor Hongyou's Longshu case immediately.

Luo Changling knew that Emperor Hongyou was dissatisfied with the queen's mother clan.Over the past ten years, the Zhang family has been cautious from the beginning to bullying, corrupt and perverting the law, and disregarding human life, each of which is a serious crime, but because of the merits of supporting them back then, Emperor Hongyou tolerated it until now.The matter of Luo Yu also gave the emperor something to talk about, allowing him to make use of it.

Emperor Hongyou had already received news through the dark guards that Luo Yu had been bullied by the concubine of Yongping Hou, and he was so angry that he swept all the memorials on the desk to the ground.His son was bullied as soon as he came back, and he was also the queen's mother.You have to know what happened to Yun Ci back then, the Queen's family did a lot of hard work, which made him have to send his son away, and it took Yun Ci away for more than ten years.

As soon as he received the memorial, Emperor Hongyou immediately called Marquis Yongping into the palace to reprimand him, and his title was lowered to Uncle Yongping.

It's not that Emperor Hongyou didn't want to send everyone in the Zhang family to prison, but the Zhang family has made great achievements in supporting them, and in the past ten years, they have been in-laws with some important officials in Beijing. It doesn't happen overnight.His purpose of this move is to let those important ministers know that now he is going to start liquidating.

Uncle Yongping was so angry that his teeth were itchy. He beat his third son with a board when he returned home.

But Luo Yu, even though he lived in confinement for a month, he has a general understanding of the situation in Beijing.

During this period, Yueniang mother and son finally came to Beijing with Wangcai.Yueniang arranged to go to his small kitchen, and Awang usually followed Luo Yu.

When Luo Yu finally regained his freedom, Emperor Hongyou suddenly issued an imperial decree and granted him a garden named Qinyuan.

Luo Yu only thought it was a reward from the emperor who valued his father under the guise of his name, and was immediately overjoyed.On the same day, he went to the garden with his servants and guards.

This Qinyuan is built on a grand scale and extraordinary momentum, but it is full of delicacy.There are pavilions and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, steep rockery and strange rocks, and houses are also towering and towering, with high floors.The inside is also carved with painted beams and painted buildings, magnificent.There are also exotic flowers and plants, which lead vines and vines, but it's a pity that it's winter now, so it doesn't show much.

Luo Yu walked with the servant for nearly a day before finishing it, which shows how large the area is.

But since the emperor rewarded it, he can arrange it himself.If it is empty, it will cost a lot of money to maintain it. It is better to build this garden into a high-end club.There are not many people around the capital, but the kings and grandchildren and the cockfighting lackeys are the most leisurely, and they will feel sorry for themselves if they don't earn their money.

After Luo Yu finished his visit, he began to think about how to arrange his garden to make money.

As for food, in addition to copying Western food, Chinese food can be made into a buffet and some new dishes can be developed.Although there are many delicious dishes in ancient times, there are also many very famous ones in modern times, such as new-style Sichuan dishes such as boiled fish and Maoxuewang; , singers and dancers, you can also add things that are not available here, such as poker, mahjong, and then there are baths, saunas, and massages.

What Luo Yu prepared was a one-stop service. Eat first, take a bath after eating, find a lady to make a horse and kill chickens, and then you can go to gamble and work together.

Of course, he didn't forget to please those scholars and officials, and prepared study rooms, tea rooms, chess rooms, etc., where people can recite poems, drink tea and paint, arty.

It's a good plan, but... it all needs money.Luo Yu counted the cash in the space, and it was only over 1 taels, which didn't feel like enough.

The garden is ready-made, and there are all kinds of things in it, but there must be service personnel in the clubhouse, and such a big place must need a lot of people, maids, women, servants, guards, cooks from all over the world, and actors Diva and dancer.

In addition, many places still need to be redecorated. For example, his western restaurant, although the one in Linjiang County can be copied, but the layout inside needs to be greatly revised.Tableware, wine glasses, chairs, etc. also need to be customized.There is also a bath, Luo Yu also plans to follow the modern way.Furthermore, the layout of the casino is even more sloppy, and that place is the most profitable.

Since it is going to be done, it is natural to do it the best, so that people come once and want to come a second time, and all of these need to spend money.

Luo Yu thought about it, and remembered that his brother told him that he had saved a lot of private money in the bank, so he could borrow it first.

Naturally, Luo Zhan knew his younger brother's ability, so he gave Luo Yu all his private money without hesitation. It can be said that he didn't even keep his wife.Afraid it would not be enough, he pointed out to Luo Yu, "Our father has money, just ask him for it."

Luo Yu wasn't pretentious either, he just asked his father for money.

After Luo Changling heard what he said, didn't he just want to repair the garden according to his own ideas and add a few maids and servants? No problem, so he generously paid him 1 taels from the public account.

Luo Yu collected more than 5 taels of silver, and felt that it was almost enough, so he started to buy, and the housekeeper and servants in the mansion were also sent around by him.It's a pity that it's winter now, and the decoration is not very cheap, but Luo Yu still has people deliver things to the garden by car after car, and only waits for the spring to start construction.

Originally, when Luo Yu was released, it happened that the emperor gave him a garden, so Luo Changling didn't care much about it, and wanted him to relax in the garden.Anyway, it’s not long before the Chinese New Year, so let’s wait until the Chinese New Year is over.Now that Luo Yu sees that Tian'er is not recruiting, he is busy talking about it every day, and the housekeeper said that he spends money like running water, and the 1 taels of silver can't be beat at all, and he doesn't know where he got so much money.

Luo Changling walked around in the garden, and immediately fell on his back in anger. Looking at his posture, he wanted to go to heaven.Their old Luo's family can't have a prodigal son, and this matter must not be ignored.

Luo Changling called Luo Yu to him, and asked: "The garden was given by the emperor, and there is nothing lacking in it. It is just a matter of adding some maids and servants to tidy up a little. What are you doing now? Are you going to overturn the garden?" tall?"

Luo Yu hurriedly smiled and said, "Father, didn't my son see a lot of new things in that world, and I just wanted to make them for you to see, it's all due to my son's filial piety. And our house can also have a clean and elegant place , when the time comes, invite some aristocratic families to come and have fun, and you can make friends." But those people have to spend money to come and play, hehe.

Luo Yu knew that his father didn't like his business, so he didn't mention that, he planned to kill it first and then play it.

Only then did Luo Changling calm down, and said: "If that's the case, then you can do it, and if you don't have enough money, go to the account to withdraw it. If there are any craftsmen who are hard to find, tell Dad, I will go to the Ministry of Industry to borrow some for you." .”

"Okay." Luo Yu was even more happy when he heard that, thinking that since there are people, why not research the firing methods of cement, glass and ceramic tiles.He has the formula, but there is a shortage of skilled craftsmen.Yin said, "Daddy might as well tell the emperor that I have some good things to give to him, and let him send craftsmen to learn from me. In the future, he will open several factories like this to ensure that he will make a lot of money every day, so that his treasury will also be filled. some."

After hearing this, Emperor Hongyou deliberately came over and asked Luo Yu again in detail, only to realize that the cement pavement is very solid and smooth, and the carriage can not feel bumps when running on it; On the floor, it is warm and bright; there are also tiles, which are as smooth as marble...

These are really good things. Emperor Hongyou immediately ordered the Ministry of Industry to select skilled craftsmen, and all the personnel of the Ministry of Industry would be assigned with Luo Yu.In addition, let the minister of the Ministry of Industry follow Luo Yu himself to see what new tricks he will come up with in the garden, and learn together.

Luo Yu was spoiled now, the emperor not only gave him a garden, but now he even sent someone to help him repair the garden, it was like sending the Buddha to the west, he would save him a lot of money.

But Emperor Hongyou didn't suffer, even if he was given a garden, how many gardens could he buy with the money he earned to build a few state-owned factories to specialize in the firing of these cement glass.
