Chapter 282: The Suffering of Du Yu
After scratching his ears and heads, slapped his hair in the face all night, Du Yu finally came up with a way to start the demolition work smoothly...
"Official, what are you going to do? Are you crazy?"
"Oh, Madam, it's all helpless to be a husband. Everything is for the kindness of His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Official, do you really want to do this?"
"I have to do this for my husband!"
"Du Yu, if you dare to do this, I will take the child back to my parents' home!"
"Madam... go, I won't stop you from my husband, and there will be at least a place to live there!"
"Du Yu, I hate you!"
"Oh... brothers, do it!"
"No, no...Du Yu, you bastard who kills thousands of swords, can't...Woooo..."
Amid Mrs. Du Yu's crying, with a loud "boom", the house where they lived fell down...
This is the solution that Du Yu thought of, starting with his own house... That's right, Du Yu only realized that there was a big red cross on the house he lived in after he woke up!
At that time, he felt like he was beating a dog, and he felt like he was beating a group of dogs!
But there is no way, who asked him to take on this job? Just as a very fashionable saying in later generations said - the cannon he had to be beaten with tears in his eyes!
In this way, as the houses were demolished one by one, Du Yu's life became more and more sad. At first, the people just cursed him behind his back. After that, the sand was shoveled in the bowl of food and the stones were thrown into the pit when they went to the toilet, and the rice fields were splashed all over! In the end, even when they went to bed at night, they had to secretly find a place where no one could hide, otherwise they might be poured into a basin of cold water in the middle of the night, or the tent suddenly caught fire...
...
"Du Yu, has your conscience been eaten by a dog? On the way to Chang'an with me, if my mother hadn't given you half a piece of cake, you would have starved to death on the road!"
"Damn Du Yu, if you dare to demolish the house, I will never end up with you!"
"Du Yu, you have no son!"
"Du Yu, I curse you eight generations of ancestors!"
"Du Yu..."
...
Walking in the farm that had become a ruin, Li Chengqian heard all the sounds of the people cursing Du Yu, which made him very puzzled. He originally thought that the people would be dissatisfied with the farmer because the house was demolished and could only live in a temporary shack.
"Little Wei Zi, what bad things did Du Yu do that are so angry that people are resentful that they actually make all the people curse him?"
Wei Tai said in surprise: "Don't you know?"
"What do I know?" Li Chengqian looked confused.
Wei Tai: “…”
"Your Highness, Du Yu demolished all the houses, so that the people could only live in those simple shacks. The people now hate him to the core and wished they could eat their flesh alive!"
"Hmm? Didn't he tell the people that these houses will be built better after demolishing them and larger houses will be lived in?"
"This... I don't know much about it, probably didn't say it?"
"This Du Yu is really useless. You can't do such a small thing, call him over!"
"yes!"
Wei Tai went to find Du Yu who was hiding in some corner, while Li Chengqian looked at the people who were working hard to transport construction waste with relief.
"Okay, demolish all these messy things and build them into separate courtyards, and the new countryside will look like it!"
At this moment, Ge Xiaoren, who was arranged by him to be responsible for building a new house, ran over and said breathlessly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, your subordinates have calculated it!"
"Oh? It's quite efficient!" Li Chengqian said in surprise. He not only arranged for Ge Xiaoren to be responsible for the new construction of the house, but also asked him to calculate the general cost of renovating the farm. It took only a few days to calculate it, and the work efficiency was indeed very fast.
“How much does it cost?”
"It is expected to take a total of 300,000 trump cards!"
"So much? Why are there so much? We produce the cement and bricks and stones for building houses by ourselves, and at most there will be personal labor costs... Where does it cost so much?"
"What Your Highness said is that the materials are provided by our own factory, but... Your Highness requires that the house be built within one month, and there are a lot of people required. It is estimated that at least 10,000 people will be required. The salary of these people, daily food consumption, etc., will be calculated to cost 200,000 yuan!"
Li Chengqian was silent, thinking in his heart whether to relax his time and use less people? But he just thought about it and gave up.
If it is just for building a house, it doesn’t matter if it is relaxed at the time, but now many factories have been demolished, leaving many people without work. Building a large-scale house can also solve the work problems of a large number of people.
"Thirty-hundred thousand is only 300,000! You can start construction first, and Qian Gu will deliver it to you."
"Yes, my subordinates obey the order!"
Ge Xiaoren left, but Li Chengqian looked at his back and said with a melancholy face: "Oh... it's troublesome, when will you control the financial power by yourself!"
After deciding to completely renovate the farm, Li Chengqian returned to the palace and asked Empress Changsun for money. Empress Changsun was not an unreasonable person. He knew that Li Chengqian wanted to build a house for refugees taken in the farm, so he generously gave him 100,000 yuan!
But this looked very large, which was much different from the amount he asked Queen Changsun... Li Chengqian asked for 500,000 guan, which was a total of 400,000 guan!
No matter how Li Chengqian was acting cute and coquettish, and cried, Empress Changsun was always indifferent and didn't give him a single copper cow!
There is no way, it seems that he can only use his own private money to make up for the difference of 200,000 yuan... It’s not that he can’t bear to leave his savings, but that he can’t bear to leave it very, very, very reluctant!
In order to save this little private money, he used up all kinds of means, but he had not filled the treasure room he secretly built in the East Palace... Well, although the area of the secret room was a little larger, only three meters long, three meters wide, and one meter long, the copper coins were replaced with Huang Cancan's gold bricks...
Just as Li Chengqian felt sorry for his money and was thinking about how to make up for this deficit, Wei Tai hurriedly ran back.
"Your Highness, your highness is not good, no more good!"
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"Your Highness, come and take a look. Du Yu, Du Yu was blocked by the people!"
"It's just blocking. People are so resentful, it's not normal to block him?"
"But, the people not only blocked him, but also said they wanted to kill him!"
"What? So serious?"
"I don't know who spread the rumor that Du Yu demolished the house in order to drive away the people here and prevent them from living here..."
"Who said that they would not let them live? Did Du Yu not say that if the old house was demolished, they would immediately build a bigger and better house?"
"I don't know, Du Yu has never explained, he just kept forcibly demolishing the house!"
"Is this Du Yu's mind full of mud? Is this a little bit of work hard!" Li Chengqian said angrily, "Where are they now?"
"Just, it's there!" Wei Tai pointed to the direction he had just come.
"Then you don't lead the way, don't really make a fortune in a while!"
