Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 112 Ma Zhou is Back

Tang Jian chose to bow his head.

After all, Tang Jian came from the Tang family in Taiyuan. Don't look at the current Tang Jian as Honglu Qing, he seems to be a heir to the family of poetry and books.

But in fact, his family was born as a soldier, and it was not until Tang Jian that he successfully transferred to a scholarly family.

It was also in this way that Tang Jian was entrusted with the position of Hongluqing who needed to deal with foreigners.

So facing Li Tai's benefits from various angles such as actual interests, family prestige, job rights, and even his reputation in history, even if Tang Jian really wanted to say no, Tang Jian found that he really couldn't refuse.

Because the cooperation with the King of Yue can obtain these in a reasonable way.

Even if I support the prince in my heart, but if King Yue's whole set is smashed, even the original unlimited loyalty, I am afraid that the bottom line will be directly smashed.

Not to mention, the prince doesn't even try to win him over now, if he really has a balance in his heart...

It can only be said that Li Tai smashed the weight balance!
Coming out of Tang Jian's Tang Mansion, Li Tai looked relaxed. When he walked down, the affairs of his relatives and the nobles of Guanlong were handed over to Zhangsun Wuji, the affairs of the clan were handed over to Li Daozong, and the affairs of the aristocratic family were handed over to Tang Jian.

Although Tang Jian's status is lower than the other two, strictly speaking, he is cooperating with Honglu Temple, which is different.

Li Tai ran around and stopped by Taichang to get a copy of "Guangling San" and handed it to Lu Cai.

On the spot, Lu Cai handed over the written greetings to Li Chunfeng to the station staff in Li Tai's presence and sent it to Youzhou!

Although I am looking forward to the scene of Li Chunfeng tearing up Lu Cai in the future, but now Li Tai said that the original quality is beautiful!
When Li Tai returned to Gaoling and waited for the people to gather, the imperial court quickly dispatched a very luxurious Zheng Baiqu transport supervisor team to Li Tai.

The original reason was naturally that when Du Ruhui was dealing with the Weishui, he dispatched one person from each of the six ministries except the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, and formed a team of Weihe transport supervisors to coordinate the ministries.

But now the composition of the Zhengbaiqu Supervisory Envoy is even more complicated. In addition to the four candidates, Changsun Wuji, Li Daozong, and Tang Jian have successively recommended people to join the Zheng Baiqu Supervisory Envoy.

After all, after Li Tai found them, they were responsible for raising funds, so they needed to supervise the use of funds.

They may not dare to come forward to stop Li Tai from spending money, but they will definitely record every amount of Li Tai's money and report it to the people behind him.

After all, this money is not the country's money, but your own money. How can you not pay attention to others spending your own money.

The leader of the entire Zhengbaiqu transport supervisor was Ma Zhou who had just withdrawn from the Weishui River.

Ma Zhou had just completed the Weishui water transport system with Ma Zhou on the front foot, and without letting Ma Zhou take a breath, he kicked Master Ma to Zheng Baiqu as the transport supervisor.

"My lord, is the court ordering people like this now? Why don't you let me rest for a month!"

Ma Zhou came to see Li Tai as usual.

He really didn't expect that after finishing the Weihe water transport with his front heel, he would come to renovate the Zhengbai Canal with his back heel.

"Drink this new sweet-scented osmanthus brew first, and taste it!" Li Tai asked someone to serve the wine first.

"My lord, you understand me!" Ma Zhou grabbed the flagon bluntly, and drank recklessly.

He licked his lips and said, "What a strong sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing. For the sake of this sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing, I, Ma Zhou, should continue to be a cow and a horse!"

Li Taidao: "Send ten altars to your family! Run the Zheng Baiqu area aside, and treat it as your paid vacation.

After all, we will have to wait until the wheat harvest in May next year, when the corvée will be free to start building the Zheng Baiqu. "

"Huh?" Although he had never heard of the new term of paid vacation, Ma Zhou understood the general meaning.

It's just that Ma Zhou was puzzled: "Although Gaoling is close to the Zhengbaiqu area, the Zhengbaiqu area is not considered the boundary of Gaoling.

Gaoling can still serve Zheng Baiqu's corvee. "

Li Tai replied: "Naturally, the common people cannot make it through.

As for the corvee, it is natural to pull students over in the name of past internships at agricultural colleges to gain experience.

A team of corvée was stuffed inside to look after it. I think such an arrangement is very reasonable! "

"Well, you still have a solution!" Ma Zhou smiled when he heard Li Tai's words. Anyway, he was a Gaoling corvee, which made Ma Zhou heave a sigh of relief.

After all, the corvee labor in other areas is far from the corvee labor in Gaoling.

It doesn't feel like letting Gaoling corvees work all the time, but since he did a water transport under the leadership of Du Ruhui, Ma Zhou naturally understands that there is a gap between corvees and corvees.

It is more clear why Li Tai insists on using a new standardization. After all, even if everyone uses units such as inches, feet, and feet, who can stand one wharf and one weight and measure.

Seeing Ma Zhou's relieved look, Li Tai continued:
"In addition, all the members of the transportation supervisor team will be pulled over, and you will lead the team to conduct field inspections.

Let's see if there is any available talent among them. Those who can work will stay and work, and those who can't work will be thrown to Gaoling for me to watch.

At least you can't let people hold you back! "

Ma Zhou heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Li Tai's words. After all, Zheng Baiqu's transshipment made the composition of the team so complicated that it was definitely a headache.

If Li Taiken stepped forward to suppress him, he would definitely be much more stable.

Li Tai continued: "In addition, I arranged a separate courtyard for the entire Zheng Baiqu transportation supervisor team in Gaoling.

It is not far from the Agricultural University. If you want to inquire about any information, you can also inquire about the information at the Agricultural University.

After all, there is quite a lot of information about the Ministry of Water in the agricultural college. If there is no information, I can only ask you to go to Chang'an to check. "

"King Yue is more careful!" Ma Zhou understood Li Tai's meaning.

Now Ma Zhou is not named under Li Tai's name, and his normal contacts are nothing. After all, he came out of the Yue Palace, but his office can't be listed in Li Tai's Yue Palace.

Li Tai continued: "The next step is to survey the entire Zhengbaiqu area.

One is to conduct a comprehensive survey to see the composition of the land inside, how many good families, how many noble families, and how many nobles there are.

When the news came out, I was afraid that many people would buy and sell land before the canal was built.

These require you to complete surveys between constructions, and we facilitate detailed planning. "

"Yes!" Ma Zhou nodded and said, "Different people have different plans, so that they can be easily driven to work."

"The second point is to find a professional person to make an assessment of how many materials and corvees are needed.

The so-called leniency in predicting the enemy is the same for construction projects. Only by estimating how much money and food will be needed can construction be more confident! "

Hearing Li Tai's words, Ma Zhou glanced at Li Tai suspiciously, and said, "Is it the market price?"

Although Ma Zhou has been hanging out with Li Tai all this time, Ma Zhou doesn't understand why every time Li Tai buys and sells things at market price, Li Tai can make money from it.

What Ma Zhou can be sure of is that the so-called market price and the real price Li Tai spent are definitely two different things.

And the profit in the middle was harvested by Li Tai in some unknown way.

Of course, even if Ma Zhou followed Li Tai to build Gaoling from scratch, he could vaguely see some of Li Tai's operations.

But if he wants to make this matter clear, Ma Zhou really can't do it, because Ma Zhou himself doesn't understand.

"It's the market price!" Li Tai nodded, and said to Ma with great certainty, "We can't increase the burden on the country!"

Ma Zhou couldn't help feeling extremely ashamed when he heard Li Tai's shameless words.

"The third is to find the right place to build a village.

The wharf is built, and the required construction materials and grain can be directly transported to the Zhengbaiqu project through the canal.

And this place will also become the main point of the Zhengbaiqu project. How to choose the right place will require you to make a few more trips! "

"It's really troublesome!" Ma Zhou couldn't help feeling a headache when he heard this.

"What's more!" Li Tai continued, "Because foreigners are used to replace the common people, these foreigners will live together at first.

Letting these people live directly with the local people will inevitably lead to chaos, so we must first find a suitable base for them.

At the same time, they should be taught the skills of planting grass, and those who perform well will be selected to live with the common people in other areas.

Although I intend to use the remaining people as coolies to death, I must prepare basic living facilities for them.

Therefore, you also need to choose a suitable location! "

"We're just renovating Zheng Baiqu, do we need to arrange so many things?" Ma Zhou was a little bit crazy!

Li Tai curled his lips and said, "There is no difficulty in renovating Zheng Baiqu itself, there are not many ministers who can do practical things in the imperial court.

It's just that Aye hopes that Zheng Baiqu will become his piggy bank in the future, and Chaotang hopes to restrain Aye's spending through Zheng Baiqu.

As for me, I just stuffed in plans to open up the grassroots, improve the industrial chain, and labor reform of aliens.

When Zheng Baiqu develops it, I still want to try group production or even industrial production. "

"No wonder there are so many people in Zheng Baiqu's transportation supervisor group.

It’s fine if four of the six ministries of the imperial court are filled, but Zongzheng Temple, Honglu Temple, and the Gao family are all stuffed in…”

Hearing Li Tai's request at this moment, Ma Zhou finally understood why the relationship was so complicated this time.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Li Tai smiled awkwardly at Ma Zhou at the moment, there was no other way, Ma Zhou had to work hard on this matter.

After all, the imperial decree has come down, and it is impossible for Li Tai to replace Ma Zhou with someone else.

And the people I have now, at most, are Lu Cai and Du Chuke who can assist Ma Zhou.

But in fact, what should Lu Cai do if he left the agricultural school? As for Du Chuke, asking him to help others with work would add to the chaos.

Li Tai gritted his teeth, looked at Ma Zhou and said, "I'll give you another ten altars of sweet-scented osmanthus wine!"

"Do I look like the kind of person who was bought by ten altars of sweet-scented osmanthus wine?" Ma Zhou dismissed Li Tai's bribe.

"Add another ten jars of alcohol!" Li Tai looked at Ma Zhou and said, "If you don't agree, forget it!"

"Your Majesty's business is my Ma Zhou's business. I will help you to settle this matter properly!"

Ma Zhou agreed resolutely, and couldn't help but mutter,

"I've wanted to try alcohol for a long time, that is, you, insisting on calling it medicine.

Liu Shenwei even issued a death order, absolutely not to leak out, and now he can finally taste it. "

"You are too fond of wine, this wine is too harmful to your body, so it is impossible for you to drink more!" Li Tai said,

"Also, let's go to the hospital together. I ordered him to die. Only when I go there in person can I give you this alcohol!"

"Your Majesty, you're so mean, I'm like the kind of person who gets drunk!" Ma Zhou couldn't help crying.

"This is the essence of the grain wine that has been filtered out many times. If the doctor doesn't pay attention, he will really drink it to death!"

Li Tai didn't say much, and immediately asked Baihe to arrange carriages, and asked Lu Anshou to take everyone to the medical clinic.

Since the bumper harvest, Li Tai's spending has also become more generous.

Li Tai also started to brew the grain wine that he was reluctant to brew at the beginning after the prohibition was lifted.

Of course, Li Tai's direction is not for drinking alcohol, but for producing high-purity alcohol to supply medical needs.

It's just that this taste is absolutely fatal to the alcoholic Ma Zhou.

"King Yue, why are you here!" Liu Shenwei was helping the common people see a doctor in the hospital.

After all, seeing a doctor in a clinic only costs one copper coin. If you really don’t have the money, you can wait until the free consultation.

The medical house is backed by the agricultural school, and after all, it has a lot of money and wealth. Occasionally, it will donate medicinal materials and give away medicines for free, so word of mouth has accumulated bit by bit.

And those medical students from the agricultural college, especially the five hundred medical students who came back from the battlefield, practice here to gain experience.

I have to say that the training of a doctor is really troublesome. Even after a year of learning and practicing, in Liu Shenwei's words, letting them go out to practice medicine now is basically murder for money. .

There is no way, compared to students, it is more difficult to train doctors. Li Tai has no systematic help, and can only rely on practice to gradually improve!
"The main reason for bringing King Bin here today is for alcohol, and to send ten altars to King Bin!" Li Tai winked at Liu Shenwei.

Liu Shenwei suddenly came to his senses, and said to Li Tai: "This alcohol is extremely strong, and it needs the assistance of a doctor before taking it. It can't be drunk as an ordinary drink!"

"Don't worry!" Ma Zhou said proudly, "Is there any wine I can't drink these days? Just bring it!"

"Yeah! King Bin, you are really heroic! Come!"

Liu Shenwei clapped his hands, and immediately two strong men with arms as thick as Ma Zhou's thighs appeared from nowhere, clamped Ma Zhou's hands, pressed them on the chair, and tied them up quickly.

This clean and neat movement, and the hemp rope that they carry around, make them very suspicious of their doctors' identities!
"Occasionally there will be troublesome doctors and patients in the medical clinic, as well as some patients with epilepsy or hydrophobia, so two Kongwu powerful doctors are arranged to force the patients to be quiet at any time. I think you understand! " Liu Shenwei said to Li Tai.

"Liu Shenwei, what are you doing! Kidnapping! King Yue, they kidnapped the imperial court official!" Ma Zhou couldn't help but shouted.

"Ahem! It's not that you cheated and cheated last time and escaped the old fairy's medical examination, so this time you can take alcohol and make it up on the way!" Li Tai said to Ma Zhou amiably.

Ma Zhou is a person who is taboo to practice medicine, and he struggles resolutely to get up.

But it is a pity that his fighting power was directly suppressed by two powerful healers who had been on the battlefield.

Ma Zhou was heartbroken, "Your Majesty, King Yue! I'm young and I'm not sick. Are you just watching me being tied up by these lunatics?"

"I can't bear it either!" Li Taichang sighed, turned around and said, "So, I will turn around!"

In an instant, Ma Zhou's face turned gray!

Yes, Li Tai's strongest ability has never been his management ability, but his face like a steel wall!
