She only wants to do infrastructure construction

Chapter 12

"?" Zi Cui glanced at the list blankly.

I saw the words on it: shovel, shovel, dustpan, basket, dry food, insect repellent, etc., count dozens of things carefully.

Zi Cui stared: "What is this?"

"For the things that will be used in the next few days, you and the old housekeeper will help you to prepare them tonight."

"!"

Zi Cui never expected that the little lady would only give such an important thing now, the palace is not a place where you can have whatever you want.

Many things have to be borrowed from other people's houses...

At this moment, Zi Cui couldn't care less about participating in the mud-making project, so she hurriedly took the list to find the old housekeeper.

So in this long night, all the people in Shangwang's mansion turned their backs on their horses and started to move.

Those who look for tools in corners, those who borrow tools from the neighbor Cui Fuyin, and even those who use local materials to make tools at night...

All in all, two words: toss.

Of course, Li Yewu didn't sleep that night either.

She closed the door and carefully prepared the explosives.

Nitrate, sawdust, and salt are all safe things when separated, but when mixed together, they become powerful explosives when exposed to an open flame.

It was dangerous to prepare it, let alone at night, Li Yewu's room only had candles, so the degree of danger was infinitely magnified.

At this time, Li Yewu felt like she was gambling her life. She had no protection on her body, and she would die immediately if she exploded.

Li Yewu couldn't help but want to cry, who is she doing all this for!

Mingming and Xiao Jiuxi were strangers to each other, and they couldn't get along with each other, and they had to sacrifice their lives to pay off his debts!
"Xiao Jiuxi, Xiao Jiuxi, I really owe you. If you know how to be a man, don't be a moth. Take the throne and die in the imperial capital, and don't cause me any more trouble!"

Li Yewu cursed and was busy with the work at hand, which was miserable and funny.

……

The next day, Shang Wang's Mansion was going to form a team to set off for Cuiwei Mountain.

Speaking of the servants of the palace, there are a total of 100 people including the guards.

However, at this time, 60 attendants went to Taihe Mansion to work as errands to subsidize the palace because the palace couldn't get rid of it.

Of the remaining 40 people, 10 people followed Xiao Jiuxi to Beijing, so there are still 30 people in the mansion.

However, it is Xiao Jiuxi's base camp after all, so it is not good to leave it empty, so the old housekeeper left 10 people to look after the house.

There were only 20 people who were able to leave Cuiwei Mountain, including Li Yewu, the old housekeeper, and Zi Cui, a total of 23 people.

Li Yewu found it incredible.

I only heard about the one who gave monthly silver to the followers, but I have never seen the followers who went to work to subsidize the palace.

How could she never meet such a handsome worker!
In the envy of Li Yewu, everyone set off.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the refugees and bandits, the 23 people in the mansion disguised themselves and went out in batches.

When Li Yewu joined the crowd outside the city, he saw a bullock cart parked here.

A large buffalo in high spirits is harnessed to a wooden cart with cushions, obviously waiting for its distinguished guests to take their seats.

"Little madam, all the carriages in the mansion have been sold, and this carriage was borrowed from the Mu family, so don't dislike it."

The old housekeeper explained carefully.

"..." Li Yewu.

The Mu family, one of the four major families in Taihe City, their patriarch Li Yewu also met, one of the uncles who sat on the floor and forced her to pay back the money that day.

Li Yewu couldn't help frowning: "Will he..."

"Little Madam, don't worry, the master is on good terms with Mr. Mu, and he won't charge us rent money."

"..." Li Yewu was speechless. Although money is very important, is it a matter of money now?What she was worried about was whether Master Mu would know their whereabouts, okay?
"Uh, it shouldn't matter, right? The Mu family is in the cloth business, and our mountain products don't have much influence, so he won't care.

And if we sell the mountain goods, we will have the money to pay him back. It's too late for him to be happy. "

Seeing the big-hearted look of the old housekeeper, Li Yewu sighed silently.

If the old butler knew that he was not going to do mountain goods this trip but to dig for gold, let's see if he dared to borrow a car with such a big fanfare.

But at this time, the ox cart was also borrowed, and it would be even more strange for her to return it, so she could only accept it.

Li Yewu asked Zicui to put the baskets she had brought with her on the ox cart, while she walked along with the crowd.

Seeing this, the old housekeeper felt a little embarrassed: "Little Madam, it takes several hours to walk to Cuiwei Mountain, so you should get in the carriage, it is actually more stable than a carriage despite its shabby condition."

Li Yewu glanced at the ox cart that was slower than a human and couldn't help but sigh. Could such a speed be unstable?

But at this speed, she will reach Cuiwei Mountain in a year of the monkey.

"No, I'm fine."

Li Yewu resolutely refused.

The original owner went up to the mountains to pick flowers every day, and his physical fitness was really not that of weak Liu Fufeng.

The old butler glanced at Li Yewu, who had a healthy and ruddy complexion, and almost forgot her background, so the old butler didn't say anything more in a sly manner.

In this way, a group of Shang Wangfu walked all the way to Cuiwei Mountain with long legs, occasionally seeing goats running nimbly on the road.

Seeing them, Li Yewu couldn't help but want to cast a net.

Look at the cattle and sheep all over the mountains and plains. If you develop the breeding industry here, you can make a lot of money whether you sell live meat, hardcover meat, or even goat milk.

How did the people in Taihe City not be tempted in the face of big business deals?

The old housekeeper seemed to see Li Yewu's doubts, and smiled while stroking his beard: "Our Taihe City is indeed different from other places. There are not many things here, but the most cattle and sheep. For example, if the capital wants to eat cattle and sheep, they have to raise them in captivity. We can go directly to the wild to catch them here, and save the trouble of raising them in captivity.”

"???" Li Yewu was shocked: "Aren't you afraid of eating up?"

There are so many slums in Taihe City, and they receive free subsidies and eat cattle and sheep for free every day. Who wants to work?Uncle is not as happy as them, right?
But this kind of days of only eating rice and not producing food will run out sooner or later, so what will happen then.

"Little madam misunderstood, what the old slave said is that we can catch it in the wild whenever we want to eat, not that everyone in Taihe City can go to the wild to catch it if they want to eat.

These cattle and sheep are tributes and belong to the royal property.

According to the rules of Taihe City, only the butcher can catch cattle and sheep. Common people who catch cattle and sheep are regarded as poaching royal property and should be imprisoned. "

Li Yewu nodded clearly.

It is indeed recorded in the county annals that the former Taihe Kingdom paid tribute to the Great Chu every year with [-] cattle and sheep, as well as cloth, porcelain, silver and so on.

However, that is the request of Da Chu for the subordinate state. Now Taihe has become his own territory, and the administrator has changed from an outsider to his favorite son. Presumably, the tribute has also been reduced.

That's not right. In the past, the emperor only needed [-] cattle and sheep each, but now they are all his own.

It should be said that the tribute has increased.

"Your Majesty is sympathetic to the master, and only needs a thousand cattle and sheep every year, so there are more and more cattle and sheep here."

"I see." Li Yewu's eyes showed interest again.
