Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 46

Huangfu is the state capital of Huangzhou, one of the Dagan Kyushu, and the main city of a state, so it is so important.

Once something happens in Huangfu, it will often involve tens of millions of people.

In particular, Huangzhou is bordering the southern barbarian region, where there are many miasma in the mountains and forests, and evil beasts are entrenched. Therefore, the protection of the city walls of Huangfu is very important, and it is an important defense against evil beasts.

However, for their own self-interest, these corrupt officials used this kind of tofu bricks as second-best to fill the city walls.

Even people like Li Changfeng were furious.

He never dared to say that he was a good person, but at least, no matter what he did, he was worthy of the people in his jurisdiction.

Including making Baishi City so indestructible, although the main purpose is to protect oneself, but it is not to protect the people in the city.

Otherwise, he could just build the City Lord's Mansion as solid as gold, and there is no need to drastically transform the entire Baishi City.

Another important reason is that although he crossed over to become the Ninth Prince of Dagan, in the final analysis, the soul in his body still came from Li Changfeng, an ordinary family in another world, so he would naturally put himself on the side of ordinary people.

It is precisely because of this that he has greater empathy for the common people.

puff!
In anger, the bricks in his hands were directly crushed into a pile of powder. Li Changfeng stared at Wu Ziming coldly: "Master Wu, this is your so-called guarantee. Is this the city wall used to protect the people?"

Zhang Haihui who watched from the side was equally furious: "Wu Ziming, has your conscience been eaten by dogs? This is a city wall, and you dare to fill it with such tofu bricks?"

Wu Ziming's face was pale. He never expected that the Ninth Prince in front of him would not be afraid of Mr. Zhao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and forcefully verify it.

If it were any other time, he would not be afraid at all. Even if the Ninth Prince sent the relevant memorials to the capital, he would be able to intercept them with the help of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and it would be impossible to send them to His Majesty.

But the most important thing is that His Majesty is now in the Evergreen Palace of Huangfu, and there is no way to intercept him.

Although Emperor Qianwu never summoned Li Changfeng, Li Changfeng is the prince after all, and he only asked to see him. Wouldn't Emperor Qianwu, who is the father, not meet him?

Wu Ziming is a smart man, knowing that it is useless to argue at this time, he immediately knelt down on his knees and admitted his mistake: "Your Highness Ninth Prince, all of this is due to the ineffective supervision of the lower officials. The tofu bricks were provided to the government to fill the city walls. These officials were unaware of these at the time, and please forgive me, Your Highness."

Chen Chun's expression on the side changed drastically. He could naturally hear that Mr. Wu was pushing all the faults on himself. He dared not admit it. He was about to explain when he saw Mr. Wu's murderous eyes in secret. My heart was shocked, and I quickly knelt down and kowtowed to apologize: "Your Highness, please forgive me, it is all Xiaomin's fault, and has nothing to do with Mr. Wu. Please also give Xiaomin a chance to forgive sins, and Xiaomin will replace all the defective bricks immediately. Replace it with the best bricks for free."

Li Changfeng sneered: "Wu Ziming, are you saying that all this has nothing to do with you?"

Wu Ziming said with guilt on his face: "Your Highness, how can this have nothing to do with the lower officials, after all, I used to supervise the work, no matter what, the lower officials are at fault. But the lower officials can swear to the sky that they don't know about all this Because every time the bricks are inspected, the bricks sent by Chen Chun are quite strong, so the officials are also deceived by Chen Chun, please forgive me, the officials are willing to take the blame and make meritorious service, and lead people to renovate the barren mansion , and be sure to monitor every detail to the end, so that His Highness will not be disappointed."

Li Changfeng sneered, this Wu Ziming is also smart, and he didn't blame Chen Chun for all his faults, because he knew it was unrealistic, so he continued to make a move to advance by retreating, first saying that he was at fault, and then saying that he was also a victim Those who were deceived by Chen Chun.

He also claimed that he was willing to bring someone back to take over the repair project and fully supervise the work.

I have to admit that Wu Ziming is very skillful in playing this trick of "advancing through retreat".

If other people heard it and heard Wu Ziming dare to admit his mistakes, they must have calmed down. Even if the punishment would not be very serious, they also felt that it would be fine to let him oversee the repairs as punishment.

But Li Changfeng is a fine person, he has seen through Wu Ziming's plan long ago, and even wants to get involved in the repair project again.

Once this repair project is in Wu Ziming's hands, I'm afraid it will never go away again.

After all, how long can Emperor Qianwu stay in Huangfu?
Li Changfeng said indifferently: "I still don't need Mr. Lao Fei Wu, but there is a big problem in the repair project. Although the main fault is still on Chen Chun, the kiln owner, Mr. Wu's ineffective supervision is also at fault. Fortunately, there has not been a large-scale explosion in these years." Beast hordes, otherwise, once the city wall falls, the people of Huangfu will face the threat of evil beasts, so even if Mr. Wu is punished by the Nine Clans, he will not be able to make up for this serious crime."

"As for Mr. Wu's willingness to commit crimes and meritorious deeds, since Mr. Wu has been ineffective in overseeing the work over the years, there is no need for Mr. Wu to lead someone to repair it again. After all, if you make a mistake the first time, you will make a second mistake."

"Therefore, this prince thinks that if Master Wu is willing to commit crimes and make meritorious service, he will pay for the renovation project of Huangfu in the next two years. I believe Master Wu should be fine."

Hearing this, Wu Ziming's face changed drastically. Not only could he not win the renovation project again with the help of his crimes and meritorious service, but he also had to pay for the renovation project of the barren mansion for the next two years out of his own pocket, which was 10 taels.

He immediately said: "The lower official is naturally willing, but the annual salary of the lower official is only a few hundred taels, and it is really powerless to provide the repairing expenses of the deserted mansion. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

It is impossible to get the money out of him again, not in this life.

"Really?" Li Changfeng said lightly, "Since this is the case, I have no choice but to go back to the palace to see my father and tell my father about this matter. Originally, my prince saw that Mr. Wu had worked hard for Dagan for many years, so I wanted to be there for you." Conceal it for the emperor, since Lord Wu is not enough money, and this prince is also powerless, Lord Wu is asking for more blessings."

After all, he was going to take people to Fucheng.

"Hold on, Your Highness!"

Wu Ziming opened his mouth hastily, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

He didn't expect that the Ninth Prince would actually tell His Majesty about this matter. With His Majesty's temper, knowing that he was not effective in supervising the work on the city wall of the Huangfu, he might be cut off when he was furious.

Facing Emperor Qianwu, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was far away in the capital, and there was no way to save him.

Li Changfeng paused: "Is there anything else Mr. Wu needs to do?"

Wu Ziming took a look at Chen Chun, and could only grit his teeth and said, "Your Highness, I do not have that much money, but for so many years, Chen Chun, as the kiln owner, made a big mistake on Chen Chun this time, why not let Chen Chun also If you commit crimes and make meritorious service, let Chen Chun pay for the repair expenses of the barren mansion for the next two years, Chen Chun, what do you think?"

How could Chen Chun dare to refuse, tremblingly said: "Your Highness, Xiaomin is willing to bear it all!"

Li Changfeng glanced at Chen Chun sympathetically, this guy was sold out by Wu Ziming.

Since he had money to collect, Li Changfeng didn't want to meet Emperor Ganwu, so he naturally agreed: "Okay, I hope that within three days, Chen Chun, you can call over the renovation cost of the barren mansion for the next two years."

Before Chen Chun could speak, Li Changfeng strode away.
