Chapter 36-New House
Seeing Cheng Chuwen's impatient look, the officials present had different expressions.
Every civil official was optimistic about Cheng Chuwen. They even looked at Cheng Chuwen as if they were looking at a fool. They directly ignored the halo around Cheng Chuwen.
As for Cheng Yaojin and the other generals, they shook their heads helplessly, as if they could already see Cheng Chuwen losing everything. They were even prepared to support him.
Especially Cheng Yaojin, he was already prepared for Cheng Chuwen to lose all his wealth.
"Bastard."
Cheng Yaojin muttered softly, and Zhangsun Wuji happened to hear it. This time, Zhangsun Wuji was overjoyed."Old Cheng, you're the only one who spoils him. If he were my son, I would definitely beat him to death.”
Cheng Yaojin snorted and said through gritted teeth,""You're thinking too much. Your son only knows that the girls in the brothel are good-looking and the ones in the shop are delicious.”
"You…"
Zhangsun Wuji was so angry that he was speechless. Before he could retort, he saw Li Shiming speak and immediately shut his mouth.
Seeing that these people had no other choice, Li Shi Min said lightly,""Everyone, go back. There are still some things to do to wrap up the disaster.”
"Yes, sir!"
........
As soon as they returned to the Cheng Manor, Cheng Chuwen was pulled back by Cheng Yaojin before he could speak. Then, Qin Shubao, Li Jing, and the other generals walked over.
When Cheng Yaojin asked the servant to send the pen and ink over, Qin Shubao was the first to write a line of words and then said to Cheng Chuwen,""Currently, the Qin family can only take out this 50,000 strings.”
Next was Li Jing, who also received 50,000 strings.
Then, one after another, they added up to about 400,000 strings. Finally, Cheng Yaojin thought for a moment and said,"My family can only take out 100,000 strings of coins.”
Cheng Chuwen didn't say anything. After they finished, he smiled and said,""I'm very touched by your actions, but do you have so little confidence in me?”
Qin Shubao sighed." Chuwen, it's not that we don't have confidence in you, but this time is really different from the past. Without money, you can't just conjure a house out of thin air, right?"
However, if you use money to build these houses, the disaster victims definitely won't have the money to return you. What else can you do?”
Qin Shubao had a good temper, but Cheng Yaojin did not have such a good temper. He immediately said angrily,"Little bastard, don't think that you're so great just because you've created a few things.”
Smiling, Cheng Chuwen got up and motioned for them to follow him.
When they arrived at the small courtyard that Cheng Chuwen had rebuilt, Cheng Yaojin and the others habitually stood at the door without any intention of moving forward.
Cheng Chuwen was stunned for a moment and smiled." I've dug out all the mines. Come in."”
Cheng Yaojin couldn't take it lying down that he had been laughed at by his son. He gritted his teeth and walked forward. Only when he didn't step on any mines at the door did Qin Shubao and the others feel relieved to enter.
When they entered the courtyard, Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up instinctively, but the next moment, he said angrily,""You prodigal, why are you fixing your yard so well?”
The courtyard in front of him was still the same as before the earth dragon turned over, but the front yard was a little bigger. Although the houses behind were a little smaller, they looked especially beautiful and spacious.
This was also the reason why Cheng Yaojin scolded Cheng Chuwen. He felt that building such a house would cost a lot of money and was completely unnecessary.
However, Cheng Chuwen didn't care. He shook his head and smiled."Don't look at this house. It doesn't cost much. It's even less than the previous house.”
"Who do you think you are lying to? Do you think we are blind?”
Seeing that Cheng Yaojin didn't believe him, Cheng Chuwen brought them to a corner of the courtyard. There were still some cement, sand, and a few bricks that hadn't been cleaned in time.
He pointed at these things and said," This house doesn't use much wood. It's almost all built with these things. I have a workshop outside the city that produces these things now.
The cost is lower than wood anyway."
"Really?"
Cheng Yaojin and the others believed him.
However, they couldn't figure out what this had to do with Cheng Chuwen spending money to build houses for the victims, even if the cost of building a house was lower.
But it still cost money.
Even after the victims moved in, they still wouldn't pay.
Cheng Chuwen's money was still gone.
Seeing that they still did not understand, Cheng Chuwen smiled and said,"I believe you can see that my house is much smaller than before. Do you think the disaster victims will like it if I build a house like this?”
" I like your father too," Cheng Yaojin shouted." But you still have to spend the money you gave to the disaster victims to build houses, and you can't get it back."”
Cheng Chuwen ignored him and looked at Qin Shubao and the others.
However, these people had the same reaction as Cheng Yaojin. Cheng Chuwen was helpless and could only continue to explain,"This house doesn't take up much space. After the house is built, there will definitely be a lot of empty space.
Then the empty land is mine, right?
If I vacate the land near the Imperial Palace, do you think people will fight for it? After all, it's so close to His Majesty.”
Now they understood, but they were also shocked by Cheng Chuwen's idea. They looked at Cheng Chuwen in a daze and didn't know what to say for a long time.
