Yan Yunge pursed his lips and smiled, "There is no hurry to make money matters for the time being. Start repairing the official road, and you will have to wait until next year as soon as possible.

My brother needs to discuss this with his sister-in-law and get his sister-in-law's consent. I don't want you to have a conflict over money."

Speaking of Liu Baozhu, Yan Yuntong couldn't help but sigh, feeling guilty and unbearable.

"I didn't dare to go home before sending troops south. When she knew that I was going to lead troops to attack Liu Baoshun, I wonder what she would think. Last year, the Beiliang Palace changed and Liu Baoshun was kicked off the stage. I'll send a letter to your sister-in-law, but she didn't even reply to my letter."

"Did my sister-in-law annoyed my brother?"

Yan Yuntong smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe! Before sending the army, I only sent her a letter and did not go back in person to explain it to her in person.

At that time, I was also worried that if I leaked the news and ruined my sister's big affairs, wouldn't I become a sinner? For the sake of my sister's big cause, I can only temporarily aggrieved her."

Yan Yunge poured wine for him and toasted a glass, "Brother sacrificed a lot for me, and I feel grateful and guilty. I toast my brother. If my sister-in-law has something I can't figure out, maybe I can talk to her. If my brother needs it, just speak."

Yan Yuntong smiled embarrassedly.

"I'm not used to my sister's work so formal. I'll find a way to solve the problem of our husband and wife. Sister, you'll still focus on doing your big things."

"Offices in the yamen are big things, and family affairs are big things too. In short, when my brother needs them, don't be polite to me. Otherwise, I will think that my brother is seeing me and treating me as an outsider."

"I dare not! I will give you a cup and congratulate you on your wishes come true."

Yan Yunge smiled and said, "Thank you brother. However, it is still early to say that everything you want is done.

For me, I just completed the first step of the plan, and the real difficulty is still ahead.

The northern region is poor and has suffered from war for 10 or 20 years. The entire northern region can be said to be full of holes. It is not an easy task to rebuild the vast northern region."

"My sister is so stressed that she still has money to build an official road for Youzhou?"

Yan Yuntong was shocked.

Yan Yunge said: "Who said I used my own money to build the official road? If I used my own money in everything, let alone a year, even if I gave me ten or twenty years, I would not be able to rebuild the capital, let alone rebuild the official road.

There is so much wealth in the world. What I want to do is to make good use of the wealth in the world and strive to resume production as soon as possible."

"So, sister, you are the God of Wealth, and everyone else has to count on you for dinner."

“I just gave everyone an opportunity.”

The brother and sister chatted until late at night.

...

On a new day, the sun jumps out from the east and the mist dissipates.

The city that had been silent all night became lively again.

The hardworking vendors rushed out of the morning market and sold along the street.

The little people hurried out and rushed to work to earn wages.

More people go around the market to look for opportunities for workmanship.

It is not easy to find a job in the Imperial City. Especially the temporary job that settles one day is particularly difficult.

Of course, everyone wants to find a long-term and stable job.

Unfortunately, the huge imperial city cannot provide so many job opportunities.

The common people can only settle for the second best and look for short-term odd jobs that settle once a day.

In this way, we have to compete with refugees outside the city.

The price of refugees is low, and as long as they have a bite of food, they are willing to make efforts.

This made the common people in the city very angry. This was a typical malicious competition, deliberately lowering wages.

Therefore, the common people in the capital area hate the refugees flocking in from all over the country and will never allow them to enter the city.

The government was also worried that refugees would enter the city, causing public security issues. Therefore, as the first line of defense, the city gate officials have always strictly investigated refugees.

The government only set up shacks outside the city to provide porridge.

Even if the refugees are blocked outside the city, they cannot prevent refugees from competing for jobs in the same city.

There were great conflicts between the two sides. If there were no yamen running a police officer on the streets, large-scale group conflicts would have long since broken out.

Wu Shouye, a villain in the imperial city, drank two bowls of well water, put on straw sandals, took a load and hurried out, and rushed to the warehouse outside the city to find work.

He was sick some time ago, and his family was supported by his wife washing and sewing. The rice jar had bottomed out half a month ago, and it was all up to a few kilograms of rough surfaces he borrowed.

Until last night, the family was completely out of food and could not find a single piece of food.

He couldn't continue to recuperate, so he went out early in the morning to find work.

It is impossible to support the family by relying on the wife's wages alone.

The old ones at home are waiting for medicine, while the younger ones are waiting for meals. They really have to be hungry for a day after resting.

What's more, in order to nourish his illness and nourish his health, the money he had finally saved had already been spent.

When Liu was in the country, the price of food rose rapidly, and no amount of savings could be enough.

Why!

He rushed forward, it was still too late.

This made him very upset.

According to past experience, I would rush to the warehouse now, and the work was snatched up by someone, so it was not his turn at all.

but……

Since I'm out, I'd better go and have a look.

Along the way, I saw many guards from the guard camp patrol the streets.

There was no fluctuation in his heart.

Whether it is the Great Wei Dynasty, the Liu family, or the Yan Yunge, whoever sits on the dragon throne is the same, and the people's lives are getting harder and harder.

Back then, the Wu family was also a small landlord with little assets.

However, the war in the north was fought every year, and Sima Dou left and Wuheng royal court came.

After leaving the Wuheng Royal Court, Sima Dou came again...

Repeatedly, the family was robbed several times, and the little family business that had been saved by generations was gone.

The whole family can only go to the city to seek refuge with relatives and struggle to survive in the city.

He came to the warehouse outside the city with a disheartened heart. He thought that he would definitely hang eggs today, but he didn't expect...

What did he see?

Outside the gate of the warehouse, there were several tables and signs of "recruitment".

Is the sun coming out from the west today? There are still people recruiting workers at this time.

He was very happy that he finally didn't have to hang a zero egg and could get his wages home.

There was a long queue before recruiting workers, most of which were natives from Gyeonggi.

Those refugees were watching from a distance and did not dare to approach them easily.

Wu Shouye was particularly proud, so he should have done so, but he could not give those refugees a chance. Otherwise, more and more refugees would pour into the capital.

In the small Jingji area, how can we accommodate so many people to have dinner?

snort!

When I met my former coworker and chatted for a few words, I realized why it was abnormal today.

"...Did you not go out on the street yesterday? There are also big merchants from all over the world who come with Mrs. Yan. These wealthy merchants are rich. Look, they just came and started recruiting people."

"What do they recruit people? What are their requirements?" Wu Shouye was nervous, afraid that he would be eliminated.

The coworker said, "I heard that it seems to be recruiting people to build roads."

"I can do it when I build the road, I can carry and carry it." Wu Shouye felt relieved.

He will definitely have no problem with a hard work like road construction and will definitely be able to take it.

After being excited, I was curious about what path to build.

When Liu was in the country, he also practiced the passage. In the first few years, he practiced two paths, but never practiced again.

The coworker told him, "I heard from people that it seems to be repairing the official road from the imperial city to the capital."

"The capital has been burned to ruins, so why are there any roads built?"

"You don't know yet!"

"What do you know?"

"It's almost gone crazy, saying that Mrs. Yan wants to pay for the rebuilding of the capital."

"Impossible! How much does that cost? Even if Mrs. Yan is rich enough to rival a country, how can she rebuild the capital with her own financial resources?"

When Wu Shouye was young, his family was in good condition. At least he had studied and had some knowledge.

When he heard that he wanted to rebuild the capital, he would not say whether it was a rumor or not. The money issue alone made him feel that it was unlikely.
To be continued...
