Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 89 Night Fragrance
"General, general, the crown prince and the others are here." The guard called outside the study door early the next morning.

"You arrange for them to eat first, and I'll be right there." Feng Daiwen rubbed his aching head and got up and said, it turned out that he was drunk last night and slept all night in the study.

Feng Daiwen felt a little cold, shivered and said to himself: "Why did you come so early, but luckily you don't have a cold, yaya... why hasn't this girl come back yet, I'm not used to it without her." It turned out to be Leaving Yaya in Shuofang to wait for the cotton to be harvested and escorted back together, I don’t feel at ease handing it over to outsiders, and I don’t have any more careful people to use, after all, cotton can’t get wet or rain.

"Meet the prince, Duke Wei, who is this?" Feng Daiwen came to the front hall and saw that Li Chengqian, Wei Zheng and one other were sitting there and started eating.

"I've met Feng Hou, this is Chu Suiliang, the admonishing doctor." Wei Zheng said politely,
"Meet Feng Hou!" Chu Suiliang said with a gentle smile.

"It turned out to be Doctor Chu. I have admired your name for a long time, but I haven't seen him in person. It's a blessing to see you today. You are being polite." Feng Daiwen said politely.

"Haha, a little name, it's not worth mentioning. Feng Hou won the award, how can it be compared to Feng Hou's big breakthrough. It is said that Feng Hou's name is now in the grassland, but he can stop children from crying at night." Chu Suiliang replied with a smile.

"Please, Duke Wei, we are old acquaintances." Feng Daiwen greeted each of them.

"Yes," Wei Zheng may have thought of Li Jiancheng, and his expression darkened.

"I'm sorry Wei Gong, I'm not so good at talking." Feng Daiwen couldn't help apologizing when he realized it.

'It's okay, it's over, let's eat first, the saint will let us help you, you can arrange how to do it. 'Wei Zheng waved his hand and said.

"So let's watch and talk after dinner," Feng Daiwen said.

"Wei Gong thinks it's more suitable in your opinion," Feng Daiwen asked Wei Zheng after the meal where it was suitable for reconstruction, asking for a clean place with a relatively small population.

Wei Zheng took Feng Daiwen to sit in the carriage to find you a few places, and looked at them all. "The old man thought that Yanshoufang and Guangdefang should be chosen. Most of these two places are abandoned, and some of them are lived by poor families. This is the sin of the previous Sui Dynasty," Wei Zheng said.

"It's better to add Yankangfang together, first rebuild Yankangfang, let all the people in the three workshops move to Yankangfang, and then rebuild Yanshou and Guangde two workshops. After all, many of them are secrets of my Tang Dynasty. We didn't go well together," Feng Daiwen said.

"Very good, it's just that the expenditure will be too high." Chu Suiliang said.

"Haha, don't worry, Doctor Chu, the money is fine, I have to ask you two to help me send a letter to the merchants of the various aristocratic families, so that they can meet at the house tomorrow," Feng Daiwen said with a smile.

"This is the old man's job, so I still have to give some face," Wei Zheng said.

"I'm going to trouble Dr. Chu about the relocation of the people here. Please register. Everyone will be allowed to live in new houses this winter. A recruitment notice is being issued. Carpenters, blacksmiths, and young and strong laborers are all required. People move out first, and all houses are pushed. To rebuild, I will come up with the construction blueprints," Feng Daiwen said.

"No problem, I will definitely take care of it," Chu Suiliang stroked his chin beard and said.

"Then trouble you two, I'll ask someone to draw a picture," Feng Daiwen said.

"Well, let's go our separate ways," Wei Zheng said.

Feng Daiwen remembered that Yan Lide said that his younger brother was stronger than him, so he arranged for Li Chengqian's bodyguards to invite someone, and turned to Li Chengqian, "The prince followed us for a long time today, I don't know if he has any experience."

Li Chengqian thought for a while and said: "Brother-in-law, I understand that if you want to do something, you must consider many aspects. If there are people, you must first consider whether it is properly arranged." After finishing speaking, he stared at Feng Daiwen intently.

"That's right, the crown prince is really smart, but you still do things by yourself. You don't have to follow me these few days. You first help recruit and arrange workers with Dr. Chu. Watch more, think more, and don't meddle indiscriminately. Tell me what you want to do first." ,” Feng Daiwen praised.

"I understand brother-in-law, and I won't let you down." Li Chengqian said happily.After all, this is much more interesting than studying in the palace every day.

Half an hour later, Yan Liyuan arrived. He was the same as his brother, with a strong body, not like a literati, but like a military commander. After the two greeted each other, Feng Daiwen took him to see the environment of several squares, and told him the request. Yes, Yan Liben said that he can only draw the picture after calculating,
"Then Master Yan, please come up with a plan as soon as possible. You will be responsible for the reconstruction here. At present, the advising doctor Chu Suiliang is recruiting craftsmen, and the household department will also mobilize people to help," Feng Daiwen said.

"Haha, don't worry, Lord Hou, such an interesting thing Yan Mou is very happy," Yan Liben said excitedly.

"Haha, then I feel more relieved, and I am afraid that the master is not interested." Feng Daiwen felt more relieved when he saw that Yan Liben really liked design and construction like his brother.

"I heard that my brother is building a new city in Shuofang, so I just want to compete with him," Yan Liben said with a grin.

"Then please," Feng Daiwen saluted.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, a certain family will not disappoint you," Yan Liben left Feng Daiwen to inspect the place after finishing speaking.

Feng Daiwen didn't mind either, and would go to the house in the carriage.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you went there today, why didn't you take us with you, the eldest sister and the others returned to the palace after seeing you not playing for a while." Li Tai ran up and said non-stop as soon as he entered the mansion.

"Haha, I have something to do today, I went out early in the morning, so I didn't call you," Feng Daiwen said haha, trying to deal with it.

"Hmph, you're lying, I asked you to take the prince's brother out," Li Tai snorted coldly.

Feng Daiwen rolled his eyes and said: "It's just right, you two want to make money, I have a way, which can help your father and also make money,"

"Really, thank you brother-in-law," Li Tai and Li Ke said happily with their eyes brightened.

"Of course, how could I lie to you," Feng Daiwen said sincerely.

"Teach us how to do it, my third brother and I will do it together."Li Tai asked impatiently.

"Do you have any people under your command?" Feng Daiwen asked.

"Yes, we all have them. If you don't have enough people, you can ask your mother or uncle to borrow them." Li Tai said, and Li Ke also nodded.

"That's good. Listen, Chang'an City is huge and there are many people, but Yexiang has always been a troublesome thing. You can send someone to collect it. As long as the family gives you one penny at a time, and there are plant ash, you can help for free." It is inconvenient for these city people to deal with it, and they can solve it with a penny, so they will definitely accept it," Feng Daiwen said.

"Yexiang? But, what are you doing here?" Li Tai asked suspiciously.

"Brother-in-law, even if the family receives a penny each time, they can't make money." Li Ke also asked.

"That's right, these two questions of yours are good. Yexiang mixed with plant ash is the best fertilizer for grain. The key to why Shuofang's grain output is so high. As for the penny family, that money is for workers' wages. You let people After collecting it, transport it out of the city, find a place far away from the city to stack it, and then buy it for those who need it, and then sell it by the catty." Feng Daiwen explained.

"How much can it sell for a catty?" Li Tai asked in disbelief.

"Sell at least one penny and ten catties. Think about how many people and animals there are in Chang'an. This is a huge number. This is a no-cost business. Don't worry, if no one buys it, brother-in-law will buy it for you," Feng Daiwen said. The two promised.

"Okay, it's done, my third brother and I will arrange someone to do it," Li Tai clapped his hands vigorously.

"Well, let's do it this way. From tomorrow onwards, after you finish exercising, go to your prince's elder brother and help with things together," Feng Daiwen said.

"What's the matter?" Li Tai immediately asked with interest as soon as he heard something happened.

"No matter what, you have to go, your elder brother will tell you, hehe," Feng Daiwen said, leaving the two of them behind.
