In the end, Qian Wen successfully obtained the contract rights to build the school and became one of the three contractors.

Only 50,000 jin of money is required to be used as a guarantee and deposited into the north and south bank.

It's much cheaper than 500,000 jin of money!

The moment he signed the contract and stamped it, he let out a long sigh.

He believed in Master Wu's judgment, so he was not nervous and worried at all.

Instead, it is full of confidence.

The other three companies did not obtain the contract rights.

They plan to join forces with the three companies to establish a business bank and jointly acquire the contract rights for the third phase of the embankment project.

In this way, the three families can work together to get salt.

But even so, the family will have to pay 160,000 to 170,000 jin of money as a guarantee.

Rich people!

A big deal!

Qian Wen shook his head secretly, he was not as good as those rich people.

The Qian family's stall is too big, there are too many places that require money, and there are also many people who rely on the Qian family to make a living.

The cash he can use is very limited.

Five thousand jin of money is affordable within his psychological expectations.

Once he has a hundred thousand stale money, he has to borrow from him.

He was happy to win the contract and invited Master Wu to the restaurant to have a drink.

However, the wine was just on the table and the door of the private room was pushed open.

The person who came in immediately made him frightened.

"Yan Yanyan, Mrs. Yan? Why did the wife come here? Is there something wrong with the contract?"

Yan Yunge waved his hand with a smile, "Mr. Qian, don't be nervous. I'm here, not looking for you, but looking for Master Wu. Master Wu has kept it so hard that he has been in Pingyang County for so long and has never come to have a cup of tea. If I hadn't heard the people below say that I saw someone with kind face, I wouldn't have known that Master Wu had actually come to our Pingyang County."

She did not call the other party Lord Wu, but only called the Master Wu, because she saw the other party's outfit and knew that the other party was unwilling to mention her past identity.

After all, Master Wu is still on Empress Dowager Tao’s wanted list.

Master Wu put down his wine glass and smiled bitterly.

"I am no longer the man of the past. Now I am a mountain and wild master. I can still be recognized by Mrs. Yan. Could it be God's will? If I remember correctly, we should have never met before."

Yan Yunge smiled and said, "The Taoist Master has never seen me, but I have seen the Taoist Master. I have a good memory and is a rare advantage, especially when I am good at memorizing people."

Master Wu shook his head and sighed, and smiled bitterly, "I just walked around and looked around and couldn't help my wife. Please forgive me."

"The Taoist priest misunderstood. My wife did not ask you to come out to help, nor did she ask you to calculate your fortune."

At this time, it was very inappropriate for Qian Wen to continue sitting in the private room.

The servants of the Princess's Mansion have frequently winked at him.

Hey, can you be good if you have some eyesight?

Didn’t you see that the wife and Master Wu have something to talk about?

Qian Wen felt wronged, so he got up and went out quickly.

Director Wu wiped the corner of his mouth, "Mr. Qian, wait for me, I have eaten too greasy recently, so let's go to the next door to have tea."

In a blink of an eye, people dispersed and the second floor was cleared.

Only Yan Yunge and Master Wu were left in the private room.

Yan Yunge went to a house opposite Master Wu, picked up the teapot, and poured tea himself.

"Should I call you Master Wu or Lord Wu?"

"What an adult! Just a mountain old man, who survived by chance. I thought no one knew the old man in this place, but I didn't expect Mrs. Yan to recognize him."

"This shows that the Taoist priest has a fate with Pingyang County! The Taoist priest drinks tea! You don't have to be careful. Today I'm just chatting and not calculating my fortune. I have always been half-believing and half-doubting about my fortune."

"Why are you half-believing?"

Yan Yunge smiled and said, "The numerology and method have their own reasons. I support this knowledge. However, I don't believe it so much for me personally. No matter how I calculate it, whether it is good luck or bad luck, I keep a skeptical attitude, and I dare not believe it all, but I dare not disbelief. It can only be considered half-believing and half-doubt."

Master Wu laughed when he heard this, "Mrs. Yan's words are very contradictory."

"The world's general trend is a contradiction. Pingyang County's new atmosphere is also a contradiction everywhere. Everything has two sides, and the spear and the shield complement each other."

"It seems that Mrs. Yan has already learned the essence of Taoism and nature."

"Not a word! Just a little experience."

Yan Yunge smiled.

Master Wu took a sip of tea before saying, "If you don't dislike me, can you tell me about your experience to the old Taoist?"

"sure!"

Yan Yunge pointed out the window and the street, "Looking at the lively atmosphere of Pingyang County alone, it is full of vitality everywhere. Looking deeper, it is all because the court lost control of the local area, so my wife could "do whatever she wants" in Pingyang County.

If we move forward for thirty years, our wife cannot, and we dare not build such a big project. Everything will complement each other, the court is weak and the imperial power is in a downturn, so that the rise of local powerful ministers will be achieved.

For example, my husband and I, in the eyes of all the ministers in the court, must be a rebellious minister and very brave. In the eyes of the emperor, we can use it, but we cannot trust it. Is this considered a spear and a shield?"

Master Wu nodded repeatedly, "The general trend of the world will inevitably rise and fall. The court is weak and the place is strong. Or the court is strong and the place is weak. Since ancient times, the court and the place have been playing games. Every time the local position changes, it means that the sky is about to change!"

"How did the sky change? I can't see clearly through the window paper. Master Wu has been traveling around the world in the past two years and has been knowledgeable. Can I ask your opinion, how will the world change and in which direction?"

Master Wu laughed and said seriously: "Before coming to Pingyang County, my view of the world has never changed. Just like the world, despair and numbness... everywhere in the wilderness, everywhere in white bones, one day without a thousand miles of people is not just empty words.

Until I came here and saw my wife, the old Taoist eyes lit up. A flash of fire suddenly appeared in the turbidity. I just don’t know if this little light can dispel the haze and illuminate the earth. There are too many variables in it, and the clouds surround me, and it’s unclear!”

Yan Yunge picked up the teacup and took a sip, "The Taoist priest's words made my wife happy and sad. The world is so big. My wife only has a weak shoulder, and she can't carry it even if she can't carry it."

"Madam, don't forget, Young Master Yi can share his worries."

Yan Yunge shook his head, "We and our husbands add up are also a slight word. Taoist priest should not place all hope on us and our husbands."

"Mrs. Is it meant to just sweep the snow in front of the door, regardless of the frost on others?"

"I haven't eaten enough, so I have no time to take care of others. The foundation is unstable. Everything is a castle in the air, and it falls down with a slight push. Without three to five years, small saplings cannot grow into big trees and cannot withstand the wind and rain."

"In three or five years, I don't know how many people will die in vain. I don't know how many bones will be added on the roadside. Alas..."

Master Wu was discouraged and extremely depressed.

Yan Yunge didn't care.

It’s a great responsibility for the world, what a joke?

She is not an angry young man who is passionate and knows how much he has.

Only by doing what is now and laying a solid foundation, Pingyang County has entered a virtuous cycle can responsibilities outside Pingyang County be considered.

She asked, "Have you ever visited the south in the past two years? The south is rich and fertile land is everywhere. The court and His Majesty went to Jianzhou in the south. With the local prosperity, they will definitely make a difference."

Master Wu looked at her and asked solemnly: "Madam really thinks that the court and Your Majesty can do something when they go to the south? The sound of the south is so mediocre, so you don't worry about destroying the court's fighting spirit. A few years later, no one mentioned fighting back to the capital and fighting on the grassland to avenge the revenge."

"The Taoist priest is so bad that the border generals are still abiding by their duties. The border line is still in the hands of the court. The situation may improve."

"Have the situation improved in the years since Your Majesty ascended the throne? Only worse has it never been better."

Yan Yunge raised his eyebrows and eyes, "Since the Taoist priest's meaning, is Your Majesty really the reincarnation of the lonely star?"

puff!

Master Wu squirted.

He never expected that Yan Yunge would dig a hole for him, but it was such a big hole.

He wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeves and said calmly: "The Lone Star is not the Lone Star. They are all rumors fabricated by court officials to seize power with His Majesty. Unexpectedly, the wife actually believed such unfounded rumors."

"There must be groundless, and there must be a reason. Although the rumors are unfounded, these rumors have not been stopped over the years, which is worth pondering. As the Taoist priest said before, since His Majesty ascended the throne, the situation has not been better. This is very interesting!"

Yan Yun Ge seems to be smiling but not smiling.

Master Wu felt resentful.

How could he be so impolite and fall into the trap if he is not careful?

He said seriously: "Those are all the words of the old Taoist, and the lady should have her own judgment."

Yan Yunge laughed, "My judgment is basically the same as that of the Taoist priest. The situation is dangerous! I just don't know if the problem will be in the grasslands in the north or in the mountains and valleys in the west."

The northern grassland naturally refers to alien races.

The mountains and valleys to the west refer to thieves.

There is a drought in the west and the treacherous riots are in a big way.

In addition, once the capital was destroyed, the imperial emperor went south and the capital was empty, and a large number of rebels broke out in the Hedong area.

After a year of restoring one's energy, the rebel Sima Dou has been active frequently recently and has been wandering around. He is in a position to occupy the capital and Hedong.

Whether it is a foreign race or a thief, there may be major changes.

Once variables appear, the general trend of the world will look different.

It's time to shuffle!

Master Wu sighed, "Mrs. Yan is also a member of the court, why can't she hope the court will be happy?"

"Is the expectation useful? The emperor and all officials have already gone up the mountain to pray for blessings. If the prayer is useful, this year will be a good and stable year. You and I don't have to sit here and sigh and worry about others."

Master Wu had no way to refute and said: "Please recruit more craftsmen and couples, give them a bite of food, and give the common people all over the world a chance to survive."

"Recruiting craftsmen, two meals a day, and processing money outside. These are all money! The hardest thing for my wife now is that she has no money. If the Taoist priest is willing to stay and help, it may really solve my big problem."

pit!

Another huge pit!
