I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Luo Shixing was still looking at the list, but when he saw that there was paint on it, he was overjoyed.

He had already decided to send people to purchase paints during the dry season, and purchase in large quantities, so that the price could be lowered.

Although the paint that Wang Sui and the others brought back was not a lot, it was at least enough for them to use for a while. Anyway, the early implementation would not be very fast. At the same time, they could also look for substitutes for the paint in the process.

In fact, they are now gradually replacing them. For example, they lack red, yellow, green, and red to find cinnabar mines. Cinnabar is generally produced in limestone, slate, and sandstone, and is not a very precious dye.

Yellow is replaced by gardenia or realgar, and green needs to be blended out.

It's just that these colors need further processing before they can be used for printing, so mineral dyes are still used now.

As a result, when he was happy, he suddenly heard Cheng Jingwei say such a sentence, and he couldn't help but raised his head in a daze: "What balance?"

Cheng Jingwei said: "We can't let them stick together too much, otherwise, even if they don't have the children of the family, they can make most people follow with their own appeal. If they stick together again, it will be really dangerous for us two."

The nobility of aristocratic families is a deep-seated cognition of the world. There are so many children of aristocratic families here, and they have also served as prime ministers. Except for those who are ambitious, most people may want to hug their thighs.

And the two of them are too young, these days because the two of them are busy making banknotes and haven't shown up much, some people have already begun to suspect whether the two of them are under house arrest or evacuated.

This shows that apart from the Ouluo people, many people are suspicious of whether the two of them can control the power in their hands.

It is not easy to shake the status of the family, but the family is not monolithic.

During the period when these three people left, Li Youdao was in charge of finance, Cui Shenji was in charge of engineering, and Pei Xingben was in charge of administration. Now the three of them took care of almost all the important things in the manor.

Unless it is further divided, the three people who come back will face the embarrassing situation of having nothing to do.

Subdivision means that other jobs need to be separated from those three people, which is a kind of weakening of their rights.

How to divide depends on how these people do it themselves.

As for checks and balances, he and the little lynx don't need to go off in person, let these people find a balanced state by themselves, and then they can push the boat along with the flow.

Luo Shixing felt dizzy when he heard this, and deeply felt that people who had been in the power center were different.

Although Cheng Jingwei hadn't messed around before, but his father had, under the influence of his ears and eyes, look, how cruel and ruthless he is.

In fact, even if Cheng Jingwei didn't design it this way, Luo Shixing probably would have come to this point.

Luo Shixing thought for a while and said, "What do you think about entrusting Yuan Zhihong with the promotion of banknotes?"

Cheng Jingwei asked: "Entrust him with such an important matter?"

Luo Shixing leaned back and swayed his legs and said, "You're right, sometimes the influence of aristocratic families doesn't lie in the number of people, so we must win over non-aristocratic families, just give them a hope."

No matter how powerful the aristocratic family is, will everyone follow the aristocratic family in the face of solid benefits?

Of course, it is not ruled out that some people who have a deep filter on the family will definitely follow them. There are all kinds of people in the world, and he just needs to minimize these people.

When the three of Wang Su came back in a hurry, Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei still went to pick them up in person.

Originally, Li Youdao and the others did the same, but Luo Shixing said, "The manor needs someone to watch over it. Now is the time to throw seedlings, so we have to get it done quickly, and the soybeans will be harvested again next month. The few of you have worked hard for a long time before, and just settled down. Let’s stay and watch the house soon, I’ll just go out for a walk with Ah Wei.”

When Luo Shixing said this, the expression on his face was very sincere, and Li Youdao joked, "You want to go out and play?"

Luo Shixing chuckled, and in the end he went with Cheng Jingwei.

Of course, Cheng Jingwei rides a horse and he rides a wolf. Cheng Jingwei looked at Luo Shixing who could even sit cross-legged on the head wolf and couldn't help thinking. Was it a mistake to get such a mount for the little lynx? The little lynx didn't even ride with him. ride!

However, he took a look and found that the little lynx's legs were longer than before. Anyway, he will grow up, and the wolf will not be able to hold him at that time.

When they received Wang Zhen, both of them were shocked.

The three of Wang Sui and Wang Antong all looked pale, and they looked worse than when they first arrived at the manor.

Oh, Wang Antong doesn't count, in fact, it is not easy to get to the point where he was in the past.

Luo Shixing went up to Cheng Jingwei and said, "Everyone has worked hard, just persevere, and we'll be home soon."

Luo Shixing even said with a smile: "The houses prepared for you are all decorated. When you go back, you can see if you are satisfied. If you are not satisfied, remember to tell your cousin."

Wang Sui and the others frowned slightly when they saw the two of them, but they were almost there, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Since it is not far away, everyone is not in a hurry and walks slowly.

Luo Shixing asked, "Why have you been here for so long? Did you encounter any accident?"

Wang Sui sighed deeply: "Time is wasted on the road."

After his narration, Luo Shixing learned that in fact, Wang Sui and others didn't stay in Fucheng for a long time, and they also restrained not to buy too many people, so they brought back about 100 people.

When Luo Shixing heard more than 100 people, he fell silent.

This number doesn't sound like much, but it's really a lot of these people gathered together.

In addition, Wang Zhen also brought back some grain seeds from the Central Plains. This thing is not easy to buy, even if he uses his identity, he may not be able to buy it. The governor of the mansion was fooled into a faint.

He first gave the example of Princess Wencheng, and then said that the Ouluo tribe is too small to become the second Tubo, and now the imperial court allocates funds to the south every year, and even provides relief in case of disasters.

The cost is not a lot. The Annan Protectorate will give some money to the Ouluo tribe every year, but most of this money is to buy an stable, which is equivalent to the imperial court supporting the Ouluo tribe.

If the Ouluo tribe could be self-sufficient, then the chief guardian would be much more flexible in doing things.

Wang Sui's words were more subtle, meaning that if you want to be promoted, you can regard this as a political achievement, and the court will definitely commend it.

If you don't want to be promoted, this part of the money can be embezzled, and you don't have to give it to the Ouluo clan.

It's good for the guardian to hear this. He was originally from Lingnan, and he didn't think about the issue of promotion at all. It's good to be the local emperor in Lingnan.

He doesn't need political achievements, but he needs money.

So he was very generous and almost gave Wang Yan a bunch of seeds at a free price, and there were all kinds of seeds, which also saved Luo Shixing from breeding wild vegetables.

Luo Shixing listened: ...

He said worriedly: "But what if he really won't pay?"

Cheng Jingwei said very rascally at the side: "He gave the money to A Lezhen, anyway, it won't reach us, so what does it matter to us?"

Wang Sui nodded approvingly at Cheng Jingwei.

Even thinking about it deeply, they farm, and although the Ouluo people bear this name, they don't know how to farm, and they don't even bother to farm, so don't they rely on them for food in the future?

Good for them!

After Luo Shixing heard this, it suddenly dawned on him, yes, anyway, he won't get the money anyway.

Although there is a little bit of guilt towards Ale, this guilt is nothing in front of a pile of seeds.

In addition, the Protector of the Imperial Guard almost responded to Wang Sui's request, because Wang Sui selected the ten largest pearls of equal size from Luo Shixing's pile of pearls and gave them to him.

These pearls were nothing in Luo Shixing's eyes, but they were definitely good things in Da Du's eyes.

With a short manpower and Wang Zhen's aura of aristocratic family, the requirements are not so high, and the cooperation is very happy.

He even gave Wang Su many carriages and oxen to pull goods and cultivate land.

It's just that Wang Sui and the others went smoothly in Fucheng, but the way back was not smooth.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters have not been avoided. There are several times when walking and walking suddenly encountered landslides and ruined the road. In the end, they had to take a detour, and this detour usually needs to pass through other tribes' territory.

What they will encounter when they bring so many goods to other people's territory is almost unthinkable.

Thanks to Wang Antong and the pack of wolves, those people didn't dare to move even if they were ready to move.

On the way, I ran into bandits who came to rob without finding out the truth, and then rushed out and ran back.

On the whole, it is safe and sound, but the mental torture along the way is enough.

After hearing this, Luo Shixing quickly comforted him: "When you go back, you can take a good rest for a few days."

When Wang Zhen returned to the manor, he was shocked by the changes in the manor.

From Luo Shixing's point of view, they didn't actually do anything, the manor was still that manor.

But for Wang Zhen, things changed a lot. There were more houses and more people, and the whole manor suddenly became lively.

The rice field in the distance is throwing rice seedlings. When he left, the rice hadn't grown much, and now it has been harvested for a season.

The fruits in the orchard are also heavily loaded on the branches, and the soybean plants are gradually turning yellow, and it seems that the harvest is not far away.

Along the way, Wang Sui met many tribes who were short of food and clothing due to the disaster, and the people at the bottom of those tribes were very miserable.

He originally thought that the manor might also be dangerous, but he didn't expect that it was really like a paradise, completely different from the painting style outside.

Relieved, Wang Sui followed Luo Shixing back to the villa.

After thinking about it, Luo Shixing decided to let the four of them live in the villa first. The three of them, Wang Sui and the others, hadn't had time to recruit their own manpower. If they moved into their new home, they might have to be busy with other things, so let them rest for two days.

It is impossible to completely rest even if it is said to be a rest. Wang Sui and the others need to deliver the goods they brought back clearly.

It's just that after the delivery was completed, the three of them found that they seemed to have nothing to do, and most of the affairs of the entire manor were controlled by three other people.

The three of Wang Sui became vigilant in an instant. They did have credit and hard work for this trip, but this credit cannot allow them to lie down comfortably.

As for letting the three of them help the other three... What are you kidding, everyone came down from the prime minister, whoever is convinced.

Even if you really want to use family background to compare them, they are almost the same, and there is no way to tell the difference.

Luo Shixing directly asked them to cooperate to deal with it, and he said nicely: "The affairs are complicated, and the big cousins ​​are busy until late every day, so it's just that you, little uncles, can help them."

What happens when two people are equals and deal with the same thing?

The answer: they will fight.

Luo Shixing was shocked when he found out that Liu Qixian was fighting with Cui Shenji.

It has to be said that the officials of the Tang Dynasty are really full of martial arts, and the two of them picked up two bamboo poles at random and hit them back and forth.

Luo Shixing hurriedly asked them to pull them away, and after learning that there was a disagreement on one matter, he asked, "Then whose is better?"

Is there even a question?No one is convinced, not only them, but also Li Youdao and Wang Yi, Pei Xingben and Yuan Zhihong have different degrees of disagreement.

Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei looked at each other, and felt that the heat was almost ready, so he made a decision and said, "It's too messy now, let's hold a meeting and assign duties."

The Alliance's First Congress begins!
