Legendary star: Signed to the Palace at the beginning

Chapter 175
Xiao Chuan counted with his fingers: "From the ninth grade, which is equivalent to the section chief of the county agricultural bureau, the officials are not small, and my buddies are also making up, and I am in charge of five hundred government soldiers. From now on, both the military and the government will be responsible. gone."

Yang Guangdao: "Cousin, what are you mumbling about?"

Xiao Chuan said vaguely: "Ah Chen, I think this Great Sui Palace is too dilapidated."

Yang Guangdao: "That's right. The imperial palace in Chang'an City was built in the Han Dynasty. It has been hundreds of years now. It has gone through wars many times, and it is dilapidated. In addition, the drainage is not smooth and the wood is rotten. It is already unsightly."

Xiao Chuan said: "Ah Chen, why not build a new palace?"

Yang Guang smiled wryly and said: "Cousin Cheng, you are joking. The construction of the imperial palace cost a lot of money, even the Northern Zhou Dynasty was not willing to pay it. Now it is newly built in the Sui Dynasty, the treasury is empty, and the people's livelihood is dying. My father has always advocated thrift. How can I build a new palace?" What about the palace?"

Xiao Chuan said: "Ah Chun, building a new palace may not necessarily result in loss of money. Let me plan this matter carefully. Maybe we can help His Majesty build a new palace and make a lot of money."

Yang Guang's eyes lit up, and he said: "Cousin, if you accomplish this, Father will definitely value me even more, and he will also look at you with admiration."

Xiao Chuan said: "Ah Chen, what if we build the new palace near Qujiang Pond in the south of Longshouyuan?"

Yang Guangdao: "No, Cousin, the ground in the south of Longshouyuan is several tens of feet higher than that of Fu**yuan. Water diversion is a big problem, and the terrain is undulating, so it is not suitable for building a palace."

Xiao Chuan smiled and said, "Ah Chan, how will you know if it's suitable if you don't try it? I'll design a blueprint for a new palace in a few days. Now, Ah Cheng is sure to get that place?"

Yang Guangdao: "It's just a mound over there. There is no grass growing on it, and there are no minerals. It has been idle all the time. I guess the emperor will reward me very happily."

Xiao Chuan said: "Okay, Ah Cheng, you are in charge of obtaining the land, and I am in charge of the design. We will divide into two teams."

Li Yuan listened to the side for a long time without saying a word, at this moment he suddenly interjected: "Cousin, what are you going to do, you are a foolish brother."

Xiao Chuan said: "How can I forget Cousin Yuan? It's still the old rule. Ah Chen pays the land, half of the money for your family, and I give the brains. If you make money, you still get [-] percent."

Yang Guang and Li Yuan said in unison: "Okay, that's the deal."

The three teenagers chatted and laughed, and came to the bedroom of Queen Dugu Jialuo.

There have long been maids of honor.

Dugu Jialuo was chatting with dozens of noble ladies. They were all the wives of ministers. Now that Dugu Jialuo has become the empress of the Sui Dynasty, his temperament is naturally different.

Dugushan's eldest wife and Duguxin's daughters-in-law were all sitting around sister-in-law Dugu Jialuo, and they couldn't help being curious when they saw Xiao Chuan coming in.

Yang Guang, Li Yuan, and Xiao Chuan saluted Dugu Jialuo respectfully.

Dugu Jialuo looked at Li Yuan and said, "Yuan'er, why didn't the fourth sister of the Ai family come to Chang'an?"

Li Yuan respectfully said: "Go back to my aunt, my mother is not in good health, so I ordered Yuan'er to say hello to my aunt."

Dugu Jialuo sighed: "My poor fourth sister has always been weak, which really worries the Ai family."

Li Yuan said: "Thank you for your aunt's concern. Yuan'er is a bitch, Dou's clothes are not untied every day, and she serves her mother. I hope my aunt can relax."

Dugu Jialuo said: "Alas, I have ten brothers and sisters in my Dugu family. The second brother died young, the eldest sister disappeared behind closed doors, and the fourth sister is ill. Although the Ai family is a queen, she still laments the impermanence of the world. Ten It’s all wrong.”

All the ladies hurriedly bowed down and comforted Dugu Jialuo not to be pessimistic.

Dugu Jialuo turned from worry to joy and said: "Okay, today is Your Majesty's birthday. It should be a happy day, especially when Aijia's nephew presented auspicious chili peppers to His Majesty. Your Majesty is very happy, and Aijia is naturally gratified. This is the birthday of our Dugu family. glory."

Xiao Chuan saluted and said, "Auntie is over the award."

Dugu Jialuo said: "Okay, the children are all from our own family, so there is no need to be polite. Let me introduce to you. This is my elder brother's eldest son, Dugu Chuan. He devoted himself to the study of agronomy and cultivated a new crop of peppers, which is comparable to auspicious , added a new crop for my Sui Dynasty, it can be said that the merits of this world will benefit the future."

Xiao Chuan said modestly: "My aunt has won the prize, and my nephew also accidentally discovered this crop. Both Ah Chun and Cousin Li Yuan have contributed."

Dugu Jialuo said: "Cheng'er, you don't have to be too modest. It should be your credit, and no one can take it away. I heard that His Majesty rewarded you with a thousand acres of experimental fields. You should work hard and try to cultivate more for us in the Sui Dynasty." good breed."

With a thud, Xiao Chuan knelt down on the ground, and said, "My nephew will follow my aunt's teachings and do my best to cultivate good seeds for my Da Sui. I'll do my best until I die."

Dugu Jialuo smiled and said: "This child, his mouth is like honey, he can talk like this at a young age."

Then he said to the other noble ladies: "You are all officials of the Great Sui Dynasty, princes and countesses, you must educate your children well when you go back, devote yourself to state affairs, share the worries of His Majesty more, and do less things that people hate. "

All the noble ladies said in unison: "I would like to respect Yizhi."

Everyone chatted with Dugu Jialuo for a while, and then they all said goodbye and left.

Xiao Chuan has been in the limelight recently. In just a few months, he has transformed from a fool to a money-making master who turns stone into gold, and has become a role model for prodigal sons who never change money. Many dudes who used to be like him are insulted by their parents every day. , and even withholding pocket money, Xiao Chuan became the enemy of these dudes.

In addition, Xiao Chuan is a member of Yang Guang, and now that he has shown his talent, the ministers of Yang Yong's lineage began to regard Xiao Chuan as their opponent.

While Xiao Chuan was thinking about making a fortune, Shang Shuxing Zuo Pushe's office, Prince Yang Yong was chatting with Gao Jiong.

Yang Yong said: "Zuo Pushe, why did you ask for credit for that kid in the court just now?"

Gao Jiong said: "Xiao Chuan's offering of peppers has contributed to the people's livelihood of the country."

Yang Yong said: "But he belongs to the second brother."

Gao Jiong said: "Prince, don't worry, His Royal Highness King Jin is still young and cannot shake the position of the crown prince."

Yang Yong said proudly: "That's right, the lonely king made great contributions when his father was crowned the great treasure, how could the little Ah Chen be able to shake him."

Gao Jiong said: "The minister has always advocated the order of the elders and the younger, so as to avoid repeating the story of Qin Shi II's death."

Yang Yong said: "Thank you Zuo Pushe for your support."

Gao Jiong said: "I am not supporting His Royal Highness, I do not want China to continue to be in turmoil."

Embarrassment flashed across Yang Yong's face, then he smiled and said, "It's all the same, as long as Zuo Pushe doesn't object to Xiao Wang being the crown prince, I will naturally thank you."

Gao Jiong thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."

Yang Yong said: "If Zuo Pushe has any advice, feel free to tell me."

Gao Jiong said: "Since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there have been constant wars, the people are exhausted, honorable and luxurious, and scholars talk freely. However, His Majesty started in the grass and knows the sufferings of the people. He is always ambitious and simple. I hope that His Royal Highness can also Feel the heart of His Majesty."

Yang Yong said disapprovingly, "I am sincerely taught."

After Yang Yong left, Gao Jiong let out a long sigh and began to work at his desk.
