Chapter 120 The Lu Family is Out
Following orders, the new regiment changed into bandit clothes and stood guard in front of the stronghold gate.
Temporarily adapt to the ability to fight independently in Xiaolongshan.
The rest of the people were all escorted to Guangchang County by Zhao Long. After being educated, the bandits all became voluntary workers in Guangchang County. They were provided with food and accommodation, but did not receive any wages for three years. This was called labor reform.
The three lines finally came to an end. The Lu family was kicked out of the circle of the seven families, and their supply of food packages was cut off.
Lu Degao never expected that he would be ostracized by the six major families during just a round of business negotiations.
What’s more serious is that you will be kicked out of the circle directly.
The biggest beneficiary this time is of course the Cui family, as two of the three lines are managed by their Cui family.
No matter what status the royal family holds, they are the beneficiaries of 30%. The Li family benefits from 10% here, and the remaining 60% benefit from these three paths respectively, 20%, 20%, 10%, and 10%.
The second one is the ruler.
The investment is not a penny more than that of the Royal, and the main focus is coordination.
Then the remaining five major investors will contribute 30%, 30%, 10%, 10%, and 20%.
The Li family and Taiyuan jointly hold 20% of the shares.
Everything was going on in a friendly manner. The only thing missing was the "stick" of the Lu family. They were not willing to be the "shit".
The road construction is actually carried out next to the original official road, and the original official road is still maintained.
Horse-drawn carriages have to pay a toll on the newly built road, but there are special sidewalks for the people to walk on, so there is no charge.
The Cui family is in charge of government, the royal family is in charge of coordination, and the prince consort is in charge of supervision.
The road leading to Shangjing was under the control of the Li family. Zhao Sheng suggested that the Li family pay double the wages for road construction, and the project must be completed before winter, otherwise the cement would be difficult to solidify.
The Taiyuan Li family sent the next heir to the family, Li Lijie, who was only 25 years old.
The reason why Li Lijie could become the next head of the family was not only because he was young, but also because he was a successful candidate in the same imperial examination. He was very good at both writing and arithmetic. The royal family wanted to summon him to the court several times.
However, the Taiyuan Li family also saw Li Lijie's talents, and what could be more important than the development of the family business?
The person who came to Dingzhou this time was Li Xin, a member of the Li family, so he must come to get a piece of the pie.
The Li family of Zhao County and Zhao Sheng shared a share. They also knew that it was because of the face of the prince consort, otherwise they would definitely not be willing.
Zhao Sheng took the opportunity to share part of the profits with the clan. He still counted on the care of these old guys in the future.
In this era, without the protection of the family, some things are difficult to handle. Even if he is the prince consort, at best he is just a son-in-law of the Li family, and many people dislike him.
"We have already started the Beijing-Luanzhou line. We are widening the new road, covering it with gravel, etc., solidifying the cement, and building post stations along the eighty miles of the route. These are not difficult tasks."
Li Lijie looked at the construction drawings and knew that the next step was to lay stones on the road surface.
"Look carefully. You need to visit many places in person, especially the mountainous areas marked in the instructions. Waterlogged areas need to be prepared for landslides, drainage ditches, and sewers."
Zhao Sheng actually disliked the future head of the Li family. He always felt that he had some talents and had a condescending attitude towards everyone.
The Taiyuan Li family asked him to come as a training, but he was completely unaware of it.
"Oh, yes, there are so many explanations later. It's really a talent to consider so much."
Li Lijie flipped through the text at the back and found that there were indeed a lot of text explanations at the back.
"Brother, it's time to eat, why are you still busy here?"
Zhao Zhen is two years older. The innocent and naive little girl has now grown into a graceful and beautiful young lady, like a blooming flower.
Li Lijie looked up and was also attracted by the girl in front of him.
"Your sister? Your own?"
"No! That's right."
"Is it really?"
"I told you, don't try to hit on my sister here!"
Mr. Zhao was annoyed and got up to eat.
They rented a courtyard outside the Princess Mansion as their office and usually ate in the cafeteria. Zhao Zhen had made arrangements in advance for Zhao Sheng to stay alone and eat in his own place.
"Brother, my father said that Shigang Village is very good and he wants to thank you. Can you go to Shigang Village?"
"How can you thank me and ask me to come to your house?" Zhao Sheng complained in his heart.
"Then I'll take you there when I have time." He didn't want to make Zhen'er sad, so he happily agreed, thinking that this girl must want to go over and take a look.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen smiled and picked up some food for Zhao Sheng.
Zhao Sheng looked up at the girl in front of him with blushing cheeks, who looked even more charming like a little woman.
He finished his meal in big mouthfuls and stood up to clean up the dishes, but was stopped by Zhao Zhen. Zhao Sheng had no choice but to give up and take a rest in the yard.
"Yongqiang is in charge of the security of the workshop now!"
Mr. Zhao asked loudly towards the room.
"Yes!" Zhao Zhen responded from the kitchen.
"How's Chen Er? Is he still so stupid?"
"Well, Brother Chen is a very nice person. He especially listens to me."
"Well, let your mother adopt him as her godson, and he will cry at her grave in the future."
"Hey! That's a good feeling."
"Let's take him to Shigang Village this time. I think he's on par with Erniu."
"Erniu has brains, but Chen Er simply doesn't use them..."
"Haha..." Zhao Sheng couldn't help laughing when he heard Zhen'er's words.
"My Lord, I heard this from next door. If Zhen'er's mother takes Chen Er in, please take me to thank her mother..."
Chen Da's mother's words came from next door.
"Auntie, if your family is willing, I would like to thank you on behalf of Zhen'er's mother..."
Mr. Zhao responded towards the next yard.
Zhao Zhen was cutting fruit in the kitchen when she heard the conversation between the two and felt so happy.
"Brother, I'll bring over a plate of fruit."
"Go ahead..."
Zhao Sheng knew that the two families were close, especially General Chen, who treated Zhao Sheng as his master. Every time he came back, he would educate Chen Er and make sure he protected the master's family.
To Chen Er, Zhao Zhen is his master.
Recently, information came from Weizhou that the people sent by Master Lu discovered two coal mountains and two iron-producing mines, and also discovered sulfur mines nearby.
These news made Zhao Sheng excited and he wanted to go to Weizhou again.
In fact, these two coal mountains are in Guangchang County, and the sulfur mine is also in Guangchang County. In other words, the sulfur content in Guangchang County's coal is particularly high.
One iron mine is located at the junction of Guangchang County and Weizhou, and another iron mine is in Huaian Town, which is the intersection of Weizhou and Yiyou. Zhao Sheng originally planned to build a fort and garrison here.
"It seems that God has been kind to me! Hahaha..."
Looking at the good news, Zhao Sheng couldn't help laughing.
"Brother, what are you looking so happy about?"
"Nothing much, it's just that Weizhou is a place of great feng shui, and I plan to develop it on a large scale."
"Brother, you are only home for a few days a year. You are the prince consort, why do you have to work so hard?"
When a beauty sheds tears, I feel pity for her.
Zhao Sheng held Zhao Zhen's shoulders and said, "I want to be stronger..."
The deep eyes are bottomless, but they reveal a kind of determination.
"Brother, please take care of yourself when you are out there. It would be hard for me to survive without you."
Mr. Zhao was frightened by what the girl said. Now the conditions are so good, Zhao Zhen has the recipe for MSG, the king of seasoning packets is in her hands, and he can live a worry-free life.
