Misty rain and heavy flowers accompany the king's return

Zhu Er, who was dragged back, not only had pain in his butt, but had just had his pants stripped and beaten. There were hundreds of people in the yard, and his face was so hot that he wanted to crawl into the ground.

"Crack!" Shen Luo slammed the gavel with a serious face: "Zhu Er, I just talked about your first crime, now let's talk about your second and third crimes."

Zhu Er's face was startled, and he looked at Shen Shen with a serious face, without the slightest expression of joking with him.

"Boldly wish you two, your second crime is premeditated murder, and your third crime is conspiracy to commit treason." After Shen Luo finished speaking, the entire court was in an uproar.

"This old thing has such guts, why didn't we find out?" Some tenants of Zhu Er said in the crowd.

Baili Songran, who was sitting in the back hall, almost choked on a sip of tea, looked at Nie Xingfeng and Jian Cong: "What's going on?"

"I don't know, keep listening!" Nie Xingfeng and Jian Cong pricked up one ear and continued to listen.

"My lord, my lord!" Zhu Er wailed, "You say that I swindle money, deceive the government, that's all right. But I, I'm almost fifty years old, and I haven't even killed chickens or ducks. Deliberate murder! Besides, what kind of conspiracy is there to commit treason, the conscience of heaven and earth, I wish that I have never been to any state capital other than the imperial capital of Erlian. Where can I go to deliberately treason? My lord, you are not ignoring human life, what is it? ?”

"Boldly wish two." Shen Luo drank, and picked up a booklet in his hand: "This is the number of fires in Nancheng in the past ten years, which is 910 times. Seven people from 79 were burned to death, all because of you These profiteers built a large number of cheap wooden houses. In the past ten years, Nancheng has been flooded every year, with a total of 54 days and [-] people drowned. This is all caused by the lack of drainage channels. The court decided to make great efforts Come to govern Nancheng, pay for land requisition, and build brick and tile houses, you profiteers, but blackmail and block, you are not intentional murder, what is it?"

"My lord is well said!" shouted the onlookers.

"The imperial court doesn't care about money, but to do things for the people, the emperor allocated 100 million taels at a time. Prime Minister Zuo, King Yue, King Qi, Elder Tongge and General Qianda, the least amount of Master Guowei is 10 taels. But you This moth, five small courtyards, you dare to ask for 600 taels of rent compensation. Repeatedly, you want more than 1000 taels. This is a shop plus five small courtyards, and fifteen families can live and work. You are distributing money that is in danger to the people, and money that is in danger to the country, you are not plotting treason, what are you!" Shen Luo roared angrily.

Jane whispered in admiration from behind: "From today on, your lord is my role model, hum, it's too dark."

Baili Songran also covered his mouth and snickered: "I would rather offend a villain than a literati, and I would rather offend the emperor than Shen Luo."

"Fathers, let's talk about it. If he does this, future homeowners will follow suit. When will the South City be rebuilt, and when will the people be able to live in peace. If he takes the lead like this, if he doesn't punish severely, my Dafeng people will be like ants. The locusts are alive, and they will eat their flesh and blood forever. Everyone said, how should he be sentenced?" Shen Luo asked.

"Kill him, kill him!" The people raised their arms high and shouted.

Zhu Er was ashamed when he heard this: "My lord, donate my land and yard, please save my life!"

"Crack!" Shen Luo said with a serious face: "Shut up, you think I'm the one who is greedy. If you dare to howl again, you will be charged with contempt of the court."

Zhu Er looked at the stern-faced Mr. Fu Yin, not knowing what he was going to do.

"Your land price and compensation will not lose you, but you are punished for three crimes. If you don't punish people like you severely, how can you warn those profiteers who have the same thoughts. Come here, put him in prison first, and confine him to his home People, take [-] taels to redeem people within three days, and he will be fined as much as he cheats, and there will be such people in the future, and it will remain the same.”

"Your Excellency is wise!" the people shouted.

What Shen Luo punished was the original price that Zhu Ermantian asked for. In addition to Zhu Er, six other families had to open the court, and the trial was open in the Yamen of Sicheng. Suddenly, the homeowners began to know that this renovation was made Cruel-hearted, this Master Shen has risked his life to fight with them.

All the houses in the front have been demolished, and the relocation in the back has already begun.

The booming construction site has made a large number of migrant workers useless. Apart from here, the low-lying streets near the canal have also begun to construct drainage canals in an orderly manner. The people in the entire imperial capital know that the county guard is spending Thinking, to completely solve the old troubles of the imperial capital.

Zhu Er's family members used money to redeem him the next day. His family was a small fortune, and he could still afford this amount of silver, but he changed from a small fortune to a small household.

At the same time, the new land requisition notice came out, and the monthly rent of 750 renminbi became a standard.Although a large number of landlords and homeowners are dissatisfied, they dare not say anything about this "big project" that many people rumored to be supported by the emperor, or even written by the emperor.

Land acquisition notices were posted all over the four cities of the imperial capital, "Whoever makes the people suffer from fire and waterlogging will make the people suffer in dire straits. The imperial capital will let anyone never stand up forever." The perennially indifferent face in front of him has become the impression of him in the imperial capital, but he has won the love of the people.

The people who were relocated were secretly arranged by Shen Luo to sign tens of thousands of papers. These things will become his credit book for rewards in the future, and it will also be a shield.

However, there are many people who are not optimistic about Shen Luo's transformation. Among them, some businessmen and officials are the main ones.

Everyone felt that it was impossible to change the old appearance of Nancheng with a mere few million taels.

Many people are waiting, when half of Shen Luo's project can't be completed, it will be a good time to beat the dog in the water.

And Baili Songran tried his best to wander among the merchants, although he worked hard but did not get rewarded, until a big salt merchant appeared.

"Mr. Ouyang, please sit down." Shen Luo looked at Ouyang He, the eldest son of the Ouyang family, the number one salt merchant in Dafeng, who was full of looks but had a simple smile.

"Here is 50 taels, which is my family's investment in supporting the renovation." Ouyang He took out a bank note: "I want to ask Mr. Shen a question."

Ouyang He is from the south of the Yangtze River, and he can pronounce between the lines very quickly. When it rains, he calls it "falling rain", and falling is a verb.Control a word, call a word.

"Master Ouyang, please tell me." Shen Luo returned and invited him to drink tea.

Ouyang He heard about the famous camellia in Shen Luo's hometown of Huzhou, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "My lord, tell me, we don't buy the land with the money, and only have 30 years of property rights. When will we get back the money?"

Shen Luo smiled slightly, with a natural arrogance in his smile, this is his signature smile, which is similar to his 'that self' smile.

"I said, if Mr. Ouyang is the first to contribute the money, he will pay back his capital in a year and a half, or even a year. Do you believe it?" Shen Luo said.

Ouyang He's eyes showed a bright light: "My lord is telling the truth, do you have evidence?"

Shen Luo beckoned, and Jian Cong sent some blueprints.

"This is the planned street. There are 50 horizontal streets and 28 vertical streets in a cross shape. There are 50 alleys in the middle. It is estimated that 7000 people can live there." Shen Luo pointed at the map: "[-] The shops on both sides of the street are precious places, which will be connected with the livelihood of [-] people, and there are more than [-] shops expected."

Ouyang He showed a surprised expression, it was all a big deal.

"The bigger point is here." Shen Luo pulled out a blueprint: "Mr. Ouyang, are you curious why my house needs 200 taels a yard, but the shops only need 270 taels?"

"That's exactly what I suspected."

Shen Luo pulled out the architectural drawing inside the house: "Look!"

Ouyang He sighed: "The house is actually two-story?"

"Yes, the poor people have a large family. The two-story house, with blue bricks and black tiles, can accommodate a family of ten. Although it is crowded, it can guarantee the warmth of the family. And look, all the inside, stairs and so on Yes, it has already been built, they just need to buy the boards, and they can divide the rooms in it at will. Then I want to ask Mr. Ouyang, what if you take down the shop first and open a shop with boards?"

Ouyang He nodded: "My family's timber business is also very big."

"You are looking at the store. It takes up a lot of space, but there is a world inside." Shen Luo pulled out a blueprint.

"Why?" Ouyang He didn't know if he didn't look at it, and he was startled when he saw it: "Why are there no stairs inside?"

"Except for the stairs, there is no plaster on the inner walls. The outer windows are painted to ensure that all the street surfaces are in the same color tone. The inner ones are not painted, and they have to paint them themselves." Jian Cong said, this It was his idea.

"My lord too?" Ouyang He thought to himself that you are too dark: "It's a pity that your lord doesn't do business."

"Hmph, I know you say I'm treacherous, but there's no way, I'm going to sacrifice the interests of some merchants for the sake of 50 people. But on the other hand, after the completion of this project, who can guarantee that the future of the shops here will not be good? Who dares to say that the rent of shops here will be low, there are only more than 7000 shops." Shen Luo said with certainty.

"My lord is right."

Shen Luo smiled lightly, and pointed at the blueprint on the table: "So, whoever can win a good shop in a cluttered street, buy paint, wood boards, stairs, and plaster in advance, and follow the progress of the project, will be huge. Business. After selling the materials, you can make a lot of money, and the shop can be used for other purposes.”

Ouyang He was convinced, and took out another bank note: "Another 50 taels is reserved for the store."

Shen Luo smiled: "No more?"

Ouyang He looked at Shen Luo calmly and had no choice but to obey the young adult's determination, and couldn't help but said: "My family has a lumberyard, and there is a brick and tile factory outside the imperial capital."

Shen Luo took out a piece of paper: "I want this price."

Ouyang He saw that the price was very low, but the quantity was too high.

"How much can I get?" Ouyang He asked.

"At this price, the quality has passed the test. You can take half of it." After Shen Luo finished speaking, Ouyang He showed a happy expression, but Shen Luo stretched out his hand: "Add another 50."

Ouyang He thought for a moment: "Can you guarantee that my 150 million will make a lot of money?"

Shen Luo leaned against the table and looked straight at him: "I can guarantee that the Great Phoenix Dynasty will remember your family's achievements."

Ouyang He got up: "Thank you, sir."

After Ouyang's family was settled, the funds were not worrying for the time being, and the work of demolition and construction began to be extravagant.

Emperor Qianyuan and Guowei went to see it, and the busy figures of thousands of people were really a scene of prosperity.

"This kid has made such a big commotion in only half a month. As long as the weather is right, he can solve more than 1000 houses in two months." Emperor Qianyuan said.

Guowei nodded: "He said that it will be fully completed by this time next year. He is a crazy boy."

Emperor Qianyuan laughed: "He is your favorite student, he can't escape."

Shen Luo's place is in full swing, and unexpected guests also come.

"My son-in-law, this is 20 taels. All of your uncle's and I's net worth, except for the capital of the family's salt. Can you think of a way to deal with this shop? I know it's a big deal." Buy and sell!" Long Tu sat in the majestic Shen residence, looked at Shen Luo and said with a smile.

Shen Luo looked at him curiously: "The merchants in the imperial capital don't think highly of me, so why does Yuezhang think so highly of me?"

Long Tu smiled: "It's because they don't know you well. After the shop and the house are built, can they resell them?"

Shen Luo thought for a while: "It can be resold, but after 30 years it will still belong to the imperial court."

"That's enough!" Long Tu patted his fat palms: "These merchants in the imperial capital all have backers, otherwise they might not be as smart as me. Now the shops and houses are worthless, what about the back? Resell them, and keep them in their hands." Husbands in big mansions with dead money, who don’t rush to ask for it. The rent of shops can rise with the market, and the selling price can follow suit. The house doesn’t rise, but it doesn’t matter, I can earn a dozen or 20 taels for transfer The fee is enough, after all, the capital is back, and the monthly rent is still earned. It’s not a loss at all, it’s better than putting the money in the warehouse and getting moldy!”

Shen Luo couldn't help laughing: "Yue Zhang is amazing!"

"Hahaha, now that I have a son-in-law like you, it's not that I'm chasing money, it's money chasing me." Long Tu said proudly.

Master Long, who ran after the money, really stayed for two days before leaving. The salt tea in the south is very popular now, and the 20 taels when he left was exchanged for two words in Shen Luo's handwriting. He said he would hang it at home to shock the world. .

"The shop remembers to write my name!" The only thing Longtu explained was this sentence.

"Don't worry, you are Qingchen's father after all." Shen Luo said, so moved that Master Long left without saying anything.

"It's troublesome to be a commercial street and a residence here. In my opinion, it can be changed into a pier." Ouyang He visited Shen's mansion, and said about the reef beach in front of his shop: "It's too troublesome to divert water, and now it's up here. In the future, a new wharf will be built. Although the wharf in the imperial capital is large, there are too many ships. The Beicheng wharf and the Dongcheng wharf are simply not enough. Moreover, the Beicheng wharf is adjacent to the imperial city, and there are basically no merchant ships. Take a look at Dongcheng Wharf, at the busiest time of the year, there are big ships waiting to unload on the ten miles of sea.”

Of course, Shen Luo knew that the wharf made money. Wasn't "that self" just a port in Liaodong Duhu that attracted wealthy businessmen from all over the world?

"The wharf is for your family. The materials for sea reclamation are the waste from house demolition, which is enough. However, Ouyang's family fully funded the wharf. The imperial court will take [-]%, and the imperial capital will take [-]%. Add it up, [-]% to [-]%. "Shen Luo said.

"No problem, I don't dare to do it if my lord doesn't say anything, what if someone makes trouble in the future?" Ouyang He said.

"Ouyang's family is not only the number one salt merchant in the world, but also an imperial merchant after operating this pier," Shen Luo said.

Ouyang He stared at Shen Luo: "Can my lord help with this?"

Shen Luo looked at him: "If you help the emperor, I will help you."

"Understood!" Ouyang He nodded.
