Chapter 33-Earth Dragon Turns Over
Cheng Manor.
When Cheng Chuwen returned to his courtyard, he saw Li Tai and Fang Yiai whispering to each other. The two of them looked very intimate.
Ever since the two of them became Cheng Chuwen's disciples, Cheng Chuwen had told him the way to enter the small courtyard.
Thus, these two were the only people in the Great Tang who could enter Cheng Chuwen's courtyard at will.
When the two saw Cheng Chuwen come in, they immediately jumped up. Li Tai said mysteriously,"Master, do we know how much our workshop has earned in the past two weeks?”
As a transmigrator who had transmigrated to a historical dynasty, Cheng Chuwen wasn't very interested in money.
However, in order not to dampen the enthusiasm of these two people, he still cooperated and said,"It's only been half a month. How much can you earn?”
Li Tai and the other man looked at each other speechlessly. They were shocked.
Fortunately, the two of them knew how awesome their master was and knew that their master would not be interested in such a small amount of money. Fang Yi 'ai smiled and said,""Master, in this half a month, the workshop has earned a hundred thousand strings, more than Li Tai.”
"Isn't that so?"
Li Tai thought of the 70% that Li Shi Min had taken away and said unhappily,"It's fine that I didn't earn as much as Master, but Father even forcefully took 70% of it. I don't have much left.”
"I still have 10%."
Fang Yi 'ai didn't cooperate and smiled.
In order to maintain a good relationship with his fellow disciples, Li Tai eventually gave Fang Yiai 10% of the shares, but Fang Yiai had to help him manage the workshop and the caravan.
Seeing the two of them, Cheng Chuwen said lightly,"It's just 100,000 strings, what's the big deal?”
This time, the two of them were dealt a blow again. They walked out silently.
He still had to continue working hard. 100,000 strings of coins was still too little for his master.
......
Time flew by, and soon, half a month had passed.
During this half a month, Cheng Chuwen would either stay in his courtyard or go to the Divine Martial Army's barracks to train them.
The three months Li Shiming had set for the experiment was almost halfway through. He needed to train the Divine Martial Army to the point where they could crush the other nine Imperial Army troops.
On this day, Cheng Chuwen put on his armor as usual and prepared to go to the Divine Martial Army camp.
Suddenly, he felt the ground shaking. Then, he saw the walls of the small courtyard begin to break and finally collapse.
Without thinking, Cheng Chuwen immediately ran to the open space in the courtyard. At the same time, he shouted with his loudest voice,"The earth dragon has turned around."
In the next moment, the feeling of the earth shaking disappeared, but Cheng Chuwen didn't dare to let his guard down. He knew very well that it was only the first earthquake, and there would be aftershocks.
After a full ten minutes, there were two aftershocks, each one weaker than the previous one. Cheng Chuwen knew that he could almost walk out.
As soon as she walked out of the courtyard, she saw Cheng Yaojin running over in a hurry.
Seeing that Cheng Chuwen was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief and said loudly,"Hurry up, follow me into the palace to see how His Majesty is doing.”
With that, he pulled Cheng Chuwen's hand and ran towards the palace.
Along the way, Cheng Chuwen saw collapsed houses and ruins everywhere. The people were in disheveled clothes and were spontaneously carrying out rescue work.
Cheng Yaojin acted as if he didn't see any of this and kept running straight for the palace.
Cheng Chuwen knew that Cheng Yaojin was definitely thinking about how to determine Li Shimin's situation before deciding on the next step.
This was a feudal society. No matter what happened, the first person to consider was the emperor.
As long as the Emperor's situation was confirmed, those people would then decide what to do next based on the Emperor's situation.
The magnitude of the earthquake wasn't very strong. For buildings like the imperial palace, it didn't cause too much damage. Only a few tiles fell.
When Cheng Chuwen and his son arrived, a large number of officials had already arrived, but they were blocked by the royal guards at the entrance of the palace and were not allowed to enter at all.
Perhaps seeing that the father and son were being punished, the royal guards shouted,"His Majesty has summoned Duke Cheng and General Cheng Chuwen for an audience.”
The officials surrounding the entrance of the palace automatically opened up a path for Cheng Chuwen and his son to enter.
Soon, Cheng Chuwen met Li Shiming in the Dew Palace.
At this time, Li Shi Min was not wearing his usual dragon robe, but a simple yellow brocade robe.
When he saw Cheng Chuwen and the other two enter, he said," You came at the right time. This time, the earth dragon has brought immeasurable losses to Chang 'an Fortress. Do you have any good ways to make up for the losses?”
Hearing that Li Shimin was still concerned about the loss, Cheng Chuwen shook his head and said,""Your Majesty, this is the time to test the Imperial Court. This subject believes that the Imperial Court should mobilize the army to rescue the trapped commoners first.
As for the losses, they were irreparable and could be calculated later.”
Li Shi Min was stunned. This was the first time he heard that the army was not used for war, but for disaster relief.
However, he quickly reacted and understood the key.
Now that a natural disaster had occurred, the people's hearts were at their weakest. If the imperial court sent out troops to rescue the trapped people, Li Shiming would definitely gain a lot of prestige.
After all, the Imperial Court represented him.
"Order the 10 imperial guards to move out immediately to rescue the trapped civilians."”
PS: Last night, I helped my cousin carry cigarettes and alcohol. I was busy until two in the morning. Then, I lay in bed until four in the morning before falling asleep. I got up at seven in the morning to write again. I insisted that I had written four chapters now. I really did my best. I'm sorry that I didn't have more.
In addition, it had already been six or seven days since the beginning, but it was only 2,000 plus now. The rating was only 200. The gap between him and the other authors was too big. He had to beg for something to make the numbers look better.
Finally, good night, dear readers, Mwah ~~
