Lord Prefect, Prince Qiong's Mansion is still lacking a butler. Are you interested?
Currently, there were more than 30,000 commoners at the construction site of King Qiong's Mansion, excluding the 3,000 soldiers.
With so many people, the construction speed of King Qiong's residence naturally increased by a level.
In addition, Zhu Bai had already handed over the construction of King Qiong's estate to Commander Zhang Fu.
Although Zhang Fu was young, this kid was still considered an all-rounder.
Not only was he good at leading troops to war, but he was also good at building projects.
After handing over the construction of King Qiong's estate to Zhang Fu, Zhu Bai was also secretly at ease.
What he was most concerned about was the sales of refined salt.
During this period of time, he had also sold a lot of refined salt to some salt merchants at a slightly lower market price.
Although he had earned several hundred thousand taels of silver, all of it was just a small matter to Zhu Bai.
The salt merchants were controlled by the government, so they were limited in every aspect.
Moreover, these salt merchants didn't have much money, so they couldn't do big business.
therefore
Recently, Zhu Bai had begun to ponder how to engage in mass sales.
Thinking about it, only the government could buy and sell salt!
Thinking of this, Zhu Bai pondered over the problem of how to expand the market.
Because the entire Imperial Residence was still under construction, Zhu Bai first arranged for three thousand Imperial Guards to be stationed at the core of the Imperial Residence, building a residence.
At this moment, Zhu Bai was lying on the rattan chair in Zhan's residence, resting with his eyes closed.
Not long after, Zhu Bai heard footsteps coming from outside.
As the sound of footsteps grew closer, Commander Zhang Fu had already arrived in front of Zhu Bai.
"Your Highness?"
Zhang Fu saw Zhu Bai resting with his eyes closed and called out softly.
Zhu Bai didn't open his eyes, but asked,"What is it?"
Zhang Fu continued to speak respectfully." I have something to ask you first. Is this Jingzhou Prefecture Magistrate called Yuan Chongli?"”
Zhu Bai's eyes were still closed as he hummed in agreement.”
"Ah, this…"
Zhang Fu scratched the back of his head awkwardly and said,"" There are two names on this register with neat handwriting. Yuan Chongli, Ma Ningyuan…"
Hearing this, Zhu Bai suddenly stood up." Let me see!”
Zhang Fu, the temporary contractor, quickly handed over the register in his hand respectfully." The kid who registered the register at the door said that there was a person who claimed to be the magistrate of Qiongzhou who wanted to see you. He thought that he was just an ordinary hooligan, so he sent him away.”
"Hmm?"
When Zhu Bai raised his head, Zhang Fu thought that he was going to vent his anger on him and hurriedly explained,"Wangye, the main thing is that there are at least one or two hundred hooligans pretending to be people related to you. We can't bring them all to disturb you one by one, right?”
Zhang Fu lowered his head and continued," The boy who registered the name saw that the name of the person who claimed to be the magistrate of Qiongzhou was written well. He was afraid that there was a mistake, so he asked me to ask His Highness."”
"Yes ~"
Zhu Bai simply flipped through the name list in his hand, nodded, and asked,""You mean to say that Yuan Chongli and Ma Ningyuan are currently moving bricks at the construction site?”
Zhang Fu, who was standing upright in front of Zhu Bai, scratched the back of his head and said awkwardly,"That's possible…"
Zhu Bai threw the name list in his hand onto the table and stood up, saying,""Let's go, take me to see!"
"Here!"
······
Because the Imperial Residence was too large, Zhu Bai used the numbers one, two, and three to divide the area of work.
At the construction site in the 9th region.
Two middle-aged Confucians in long robes were knocking on the concrete at the construction site.
On the pile of steel bars next to the two of them, there were two official robes neatly placed.
"Bah!"
Ma Ningyuan, who was holding the shovel tightly with both hands, spat on his own palms. He heard from the brick-moving worker next door that this could increase his Mochasha's strength and save energy.
Beside Ma Ningyuan was Qiongzhou Prefecture's Magistrate Yuan Chongli, who was also stirring the concrete with his butt up.
"Lord Prefect, I didn't lie to you, right? It's really inconvenient to wear official robes here.”
Ma Ningyuan raised his head and wiped the sweat off his forehead." I haven't done such heavy work for decades. I'm so tired!"”
Yuan Chongli, the magistrate of Qiongzhou, did not say anything. He just followed Ma Ningyuan's example and spat on his palm.
"Lord Prefect, the soldier just said that if we can mix this concrete well today, we can each get three taels of refined salt!”
Hearing Ma Ningyuan's words, Yuan Chongli paused for a moment.
His eyes revealed an excitement that was difficult for ordinary people to detect, but he did not speak politely to Ma Ningyuan." Don't talk so much, save your strength, and hurry up!”
Just as the two of them were working hard, the people around them knelt down in unison.
The first to kneel down was the soldier in charge, followed by the commoners.
Following that, greetings to Her Highness King Qiong rang out in the 9th region.
When Yuan Chongli heard the commotion, he was also stunned.
His first reaction was not to pay respects to King Qiong, but to find a crack in the ground and jump in.
pity
Yuan Chongli couldn't find this crevice because King Qiong Zhu Bai had specifically come to find him.
Yuan Chongli buried his head in the ground and worked hard to mix the concrete.
At this moment, a hand was placed on Yuan Chongli's shoulder." Lord Yuan, why are you here?”
Hearing this familiar voice, Yuan Chongli turned around awkwardly.
He knelt down towards Zhu Bai." I am Yuan Chongli, paying my respects to Your Highness!”
Ma Ningyuan, who was standing beside Yuan Chongli, also knelt down.
"Lord Yuan, please get up. Lord Ma, please get up as well.”
As Zhu Bai spoke, he pointed to the two sets of official uniforms placed on the pile of steel bars at the side and instructed Zhang Fu beside him,"Quickly invite the two lords inside! Help the two lords bring their clothes."
"Here!"
At this moment, Yuan Chongli could not be said to be more grateful or embarrassed, but he could not stop thanking King Qiong.
Zhu Bai naturally understood why the magistrate of Qiongzhou had come to this construction site to do hard labor.
Because Qiongzhou was really poor, the officials needed the same things that the commoners needed.
At least half of the officials in Qiongzhou were busy digging at the construction site.
There were also ordinary officials who were either on their way here or hesitating at home.
Zhu Bai held Yuan Chongli's hand and walked inside.
Along the way, Zhu Bai casually said,""Lord Yuan, what do you think of this Prince's mansion?”
Although Yuan Chongli was already sweating profusely, he still cupped his hands and replied respectfully,""The aura is extraordinary. This subordinate has never heard of it before!”
Zhu Bai nodded and continued,"Lord Yuan is a rare talent for defending!"”
Yuan Chongli, the magistrate of Qiongzhou, didn't know why Zhu Bai would suddenly say this. He was stunned and didn't reply.
Zhu Bai, who was walking one seat in front of Yuan Chongli, continued,"Lord Yuan, you can see that this Prince will soon arrange for a huge family business, but this Prince cannot manage it himself. I would like to invite Lord Yuan to concurrently serve as the steward of King Qiong's residence.”
Thank you for your support!
Bang bang bang! (Kowtow!)
