Zhang Jingrui looked aggrieved, "I won't leave. It's delicious and delicious. I'm comfortable to stay. I can't help but recite the book when I go back. The gentleman has been angry with me and he is a new master when he goes back. Alas! I'm so tired that I won't go back. Lord Liu begs you to take me in!"

Zhou Heng held back his laughter. This guy's shameless spirit was comparable to Zhu Yunmo, but to be honest, this man is not as boring as his. It has been several days and there is no further information. Zhou Heng waved his hand.

"Young Master Zhang has healed well, and there is no need here. The stitches have been removed just now. Even if you want to go back to the capital, you also need to be hospitalized in Huichuntang or Beishan. Of course, if you don't want to do so, you can also recuperate at home. I ask the nurse to go to your home every day to give you an injection."

Zhang Jingrui looked sad, and Zhou Heng's words made him frightened and he quickly stood up.

"Mr. Zhou, don't do this. I am still a patient. If my hand is broken, I must not move here. When I go back, I will be the entrustment and the gentleman chased me and scolded me. It would be strange if I can keep it well!"

Zhou Heng was stunned. In fact, Zhang Jingrui was a few years older than Zhou Heng. If it were Zhang Zhongtang's son, he would have taken the imperial examination early. How could he wait until today? It seems that he had said that Zhang Jingrui was preparing for the exam, which means that he failed the exam three years ago?

Zhou Heng blinked, feeling a little surprised. He didn't expect that Zhang Zhongtang was such an upright person. Anyone with some hints would probably not be like this.

"You want to participate in the autumn examination?"

Zhang Jingrui nodded and sighed.

"Don't ask me why your father doesn't help. I almost ask someone when I see him. My father is my father, I am me. These are two different things. I don't necessarily mean that my father is in the middle hall. Besides, I think I'm not a good source of study at all."

Zhou Heng raised his eyebrows and smiled at Zhang Jingrui.

"Then go to Beishan. It's not in Beijing. There are medical schools and hospitalization departments there. It's much better to take care of than here. It just so happens that I'm going to go back to Beijing today."

Liu Renli sat up and Zhou Heng was about to leave, which means that his condition had improved greatly.

With a relaxed smile on his face, he felt that he was too tired to pretend to be sick and had to take medicine and get injections every day. Of course, it would be comfortable to get along with Feng Yuchan like this, but a lot of things need to be dealt with. You can't throw everything to Zhu Sanfu!

"I don't need to take medicine or get injections, right?"

Zhou Heng raised his eyes and Liu Renli was just following the trouble.

"Don't, Brother Liu must rest. The construction of workshops and greenhouses is in full swing. Zhu Sanfu brought people to survey the construction location of the road while doing construction everywhere. This is very busy. Besides, if I don't go, how can I implement the next plan?"

Liu Renli paused and didn't understand what Zhou Heng meant for a while. He wanted to ask, but he saw Zhang Jingrui still stopped. Zhou Heng naturally understood and waved his hand at Xiao Liuzi.

"You help Mr. Zhang to sort out. Let's leave this car from the square hospital. The Huichuntang semicolon has not been built. You can also do some temporary surgery here for emergencies. Then take a car back to Beijing with me."

Although Zhang Jingrui was dissatisfied, it seemed that going to Beishan was better than going back to the capital. He did not dare to resist. If he had a breakup, Zhou Heng would throw himself home, which would be really miserable.

Xiao Liuzi didn't say nonsense, helped Zhang Jingrui leave, Feng Yuchan poured a cup of tea for Zhou Heng, and retreated.

She knew that Zhou Heng wanted to talk to Liu Renli. Liu Renli's health was recovering so quickly. She no longer knew how to be grateful to Zhou Heng, so she followed Zhou Heng's advice.

Liu Renli pulled Zhou Heng closer. He was really anxious now. If Zhou Heng left, how would he act in the subsequent drama?

After taking a look at Feng Yuchan who was leaving and some people around him, Liu Renli lowered his voice.

"What are you in a hurry to go back to Beijing? What should I do here? Do you still have to take medicine and get injections? You can see that my hands are going to be sieve."

Zhou Heng rubbed his nose. This guy really didn't know how to be blessed. So many people helped him to support Tongzhou, so he couldn't hold back now.

"Don't complain, your body is just taking this time to adjust. Besides, our plan is to ask Zhu Sanfu to buy more land. After a lot of trouble here, many gentry can't sit still. Seeing that you are like this, it is difficult to come over and ask, so naturally, they ask in private.

I saw someone measuring the construction workshops, heating rooms, and schools. They were all busy, so they would definitely guess the reason. I told Zhu Sanfu and revealed a little.

Anyway, road construction needs to be discussed. As for where to start, they have to follow and inquire about it themselves. Only what they find out is reliable, right?

If you claim to be sick and have not shown up for the time being, what will these squire think? Do you think you have found a lot of capital to completely manipulate this matter?

In this way, those who sell land at the beginning will regret it. Whether it is the land price or others, they will also ask you to take charge of the overall situation and inquire about the inside story here.

It is not difficult to say that you want to build a road and need to raise a lot of funds. Even if you don’t want to do it, Zhu Sanfu will come out and cooperate with it, and all the difficult things will be solved. You must know that anything that can be solved with money is not a big deal."

Liu Renli kept nodding, as if he had clarified his mind, and looked at Zhou Heng with less panic.

"Zhu Sanfu and the others have started measuring?"

Zhou Heng nodded, "It's not just a measurement. The geological issues we pay attention to when building roads. It depends on whether there are waterways and quicksand layers underground on this section of the road.

Although most of the land here are plains, you still need to choose a gentle area. Too low will easily retain water, too high will be unfavorable to vehicle operation and increase the cost of road construction. It is not clear in just a few words.

There is also raw materials. Zhu Sanfu had already contacted the quarry before coming. They are now starting to stock up. After all, the amount is large in the later stage and there is no time to process it temporarily, and the most important asphalt has begun to be stored.

Don't worry, even if there is no response from the gentry, we can do it well. Of course, if they don't participate in all the land along the way, I will buy it. Whatever business will be done in the future, I will be my Zhou Heng, so don't be jealous of others."

Liu Renli was a little surprised. After all, even if they had passed by before, the road construction was quite expensive, especially the asphalt road mentioned by Zhou Heng, which was not enough to be compacted by the original loess. He had seen the road surface of Beishan. It was raining or other weather, and it had no effect. It was very neat and durable.

But Zhou Heng was still very worried that even if Zhou Heng had money, he would have to take out hundreds of thousands of taels of road construction at once. This is not a small amount.

The imperial court's tax on disaster relief was a big deal, which could be considered as a tax for a lower-level governor. It was too huge.

It has only been more than a year since Zhou Heng opened a clinic. It has only been eight or nine months since he came to Beijing. Beishan still invested so much, so where can he have spare money?

"I know you are considering me, but this is not a small amount. The total investment in the construction of the entire road calculated before is 200,000 taels. If you add to the land you acquire and the construction of these workshops and greenhouses, 300,000 taels will not stop you! Do you have so much money?"

Zhou Heng glanced at him and sorted out the following robe. He was wearing only a half-old Confucian shirt. It looked simple. He stood up and came to Liu Renli.

"Look at me, right? Huichuntang has three semicolons and total numbers, and the daily net profit is more than 4,000 taels. Although Beishan has invested a lot, its output is also large. The Ministry of Revenue has allocated silver, customized flying balls and various vehicles, and these have been recorded in more than 200,000 taels.

As for the cooperation between Huichuntang and the Imperial Pharmacy, as well as the income from various workshops in Beishan, training doctors and medical colleges, these are not included."

Liu Renli's mouth could be stuffed into a fist, but she couldn't close it for a long time. She blinked and tried hard to do it. Zhou Heng avoided it a little. After all, he was afraid that Liu Renli's saliva would stay, so this guy was really shocked.

"You are so rich, so why didn't you just say you wanted to invest?"

Zhou Heng was stunned. Unexpectedly, after hearing this reaction, Liu Renli laughed in anger.

"I'm helping you with the bottom of your business. If I take it down directly, there will be no difficulties in front of you, but what do you want to say in the court? Are you profitable and full of your own pockets? Using the matter of building Tongzhou to make plans for your own selfish interests? You can't even explain this big hat!"

Liu Renli became a little anxious and then stood up and spread his hands.

"How could I do this? How could I make profits to do these things? Aren't these people innocently biting?"

Zhou Heng looked at Liu Renli and sighed. This person was good at everything, but he was really not very careful and had no stubbornness.

"It doesn't matter how you think. You are already at the forefront of the storm, and you can get the emperor's permission, and you are not subject to various systems to manage the construction of Tongzhou by yourself. This is the biggest mistake.

If you are well, others blame others for finding faults. It is not a problem or a problem. If you are not good, you will come out to scold. Since you are scolded at both ends, you must be as perfect as possible. Therefore, the gentry must participate. Only when there are too many people will it block your mouth."

Liu Renli was silent. He didn't expect this to be so complicated. But if you think about it carefully, it is indeed the case. Just like Zhang Fuling, he has been in the court for many years and has a high official position, but not many people can really move around. After all, no one likes to date such a wooden man.

Seeing Liu Renli so dejected, Zhou Heng felt a little reluctant.

Liu Renli is a very idealist. He is very upright and has ideas and has very good execution. He is just not good at intrigues between the court. If he can be recognized by the emperor, it would be fine, but if he doesn't get it, he will be easily excluded.

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, they can only see that others are not as good as themselves. Anyone who sees someone better than themselves wants to criticize them.

Just like during the Chinese New Year, when you meet those relatives, if you have a good job and good education, they will be better than others. Zhou Heng has never heard of words like "I haven't gotten married at such an old age, and then I'll use it."

Just as he was thinking, there was a sound of footsteps behind him. Everyone in the yard knew that they were talking about things, so no one should have come. Zhou Hengyi frowned and looked at Liu Renli.

The person who came was Zhang Ankang, and he was very anxious. He pressed his hat with one hand and rushed over quickly. As soon as he looked up, the man had arrived in front of him. Zhou Heng was about to speak, but Zhang Ankang quickly bowed and said:

"Young Master, Lord Liu, Eunuch Fang is here and asked where Lord Liu is coming to announce the imperial edict. I just saw it at the corner gate and came to report a letter first. I brought a lot of imperial guards, all around the government office! Why don't you two hide?"

Zhou Heng choked and coughed twice, and was also a little surprised for a moment. The key is that this situation is not what it means, but people come and they surrounded the government office with so many imperial guards. Could it be...

Thinking of looking at Liu Renli, Liu Renli's face was even more confused. Zhou Heng shook his head and didn't have time to do anything at this time. It was not a good way to hide from the generals.

"Don't hide, you go and lead Eunuch Fang over, just say that Lord Zhang is inconvenient to move!"

Zhang Ankang nodded quickly, wiped his sweat, and ran out quickly. Zhou Heng pulled Liu Renli's arm and signaled him to sit down. Liu Renli was obedient and sat directly on the chair with Zhou Heng's force.

Zhou Heng thought about it, unfolded the roll of silver needles, pounced on the stone table, and raised his hand to Liu Renli's wrist. Liu Renli had a lot of experience pretending to be sick these two days, so he quickly leaned his head on the chair and closed his eyes.

At this moment, footsteps came again in the direction of the corner gate, and the sound was very light and slow. Zhou Heng turned his back to this side and raised his lips. It seemed that it was not a bad thing. If he caught someone and came up directly, would he be so cautious?

This judgment made Zhou Heng feel much more relaxed, and he patted Liu Renli's arm.

"Brother Liu has recovered well, and it seems that Miss Feng has taken good care of her."

Liu Renli was shocked. Unexpectedly, Zhou Heng mentioned Feng Yuchan at this time, and blinked and didn't know how to answer.

At this time, Fang Jizhong's voice had already sounded.

"Haha, our family is going to disturb Mr. Zhou to treat Lord Liu!"

As he said that, the man had already walked to the pavilion, nodded slightly without bowing, and held a bright scroll in his hand.

Zhou Heng was a little surprised and quickly helped Liu Renli stand up.

"It's really surprising when Eunuch Fang came."

Fang Jizhong grinned, without exposing Zhou Heng's trick, raised the imperial edict and said:

"We have an imperial edict on our family, so it is not convenient to treat my uncle and Lord Liu. I hope to forgive my crimes. I also ask Lord Liu to accept the edict first. By the way, Your Majesty told you not to kneel down, just listen to our family's reading!"

Liu Renli looked frightened and did not kneel down with the order. Even if he couldn't get up, he couldn't do so. He quickly lifted up his robe and knelt down straightly.

"My minister Liu Renli asked for the Holy One!"

Zhou Heng quickly knelt down, after all, he couldn't watch even standing here. He knelt beside Liu Renli and took a step back.

Fang Jizhong quickly read out the imperial edict without saying anything, "The emperor's edict says..."

Zhou Heng heard a bunch of brilliant words about Zhihuzheye, and after careful analysis, he could understand it.

The general meaning is that Tongzhou has done a good job in construction and promotion. I heard that your five-year plan here has specially allocated 100,000 taels of funds from the treasury for the five-year plan. Of course, whether it is used for road construction or school construction, the old emperor did not make any arrangements. Everything was decided by Liu Renli, and finally he rewarded Liu Renli with some gold, silver and silk.

After Fang Jizhong finished speaking, Liu Renli quickly accepted the order, and then everyone walked in and stood in the courtyard carrying the reward items. Zhou Heng was puzzled.

Is Zhu Yunmo and Su Xiaoxiao unreliable to do things? They both said that they went to the palace to talk about Liu Renli's marriage. Why did the old emperor have such an imperial edict? Obviously, they already knew some of their general plans, but they couldn't do the serious matter?

Zhang Huaiyuan led these people to the warehouse. Liu Renli felt a little embarrassed. After all, he seemed extremely casual in the pavilion. He pointed to the location of the flower hall and said:

"Eunuch Fang came from afar, so please ask the flower hall to talk about it!"

Fang Jizhong smiled, looking mysterious.
