Chapter 309 Buy Buy Buy
Li Yuanying thought Jia Ping'an was a lunatic.
But the task still has to be done.
He tried his best to make the blocked section more beautiful, which was Jia Pingan's request.
“It should make people want to live next to it.”
There are also designs available.
He opened the design drawing hand-painted by Jia Ping'an himself, and couldn't help groaning when he saw the horrific picture.
"Is this a tree?"
A random vertical stroke represents a tree.
It's really unsightly!
But there is a note on the side: a vertical line represents a tree, and a dot represents grass...
This method is really good.
The water flows slowly, the green grass is green, and the weeping willows are lingering...
Wooden benches, wooden tables…
Cobblestone trails.
Chairs by the water...
"Your Highness, it's time to rest."
The old housekeeper was arrested for corruption, and now he is farming in the countryside. It is said that he is crying every day, saying that he regrets his mistakes.
The new butler Cai Ka came in and looked at Li Yuanying worriedly, "Your Highness, go back to the fief."
For Li Yuanying, Chang'an is too dangerous.
"go out!"
Li Yuanying waved his hand.
At dawn, he looked at his painting, stretched himself, and said with satisfaction: "This king is indeed a genius."
He went to Baiqi and handed over the painting to Jia Pingan.
"Draw another one, and then I hired a painter to copy it..." Jia Pingan thought for a while: "Ten copies!"
"You're crazy!" Li Yuanying felt that he had met a lunatic.
"Is there a problem?" Jia Pingan asked with a smile.
Brother is very talkative, if you have any opinions, please mention them.
Li Yuanying looked at him and muttered, "No problem, but what are you doing here?"
"Collection." Jia Ping'an said seriously: "It's good to draw."
"Favorite?" Li Yuanying couldn't help being a little happy.
Jia Ping'an then entered the palace.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the palace is also quite difficult, and I... feel the same way."
Li Zhi looked at him coldly, "How do you empathize?"
Well!
Jia Pingan wanted to make a sad expression, but...
I guess it will be uglier than a smile.
That's all.
Let's get straight to the point.
"Your Majesty, I'm racking my brains on how to make money in the palace..."
Jia Pingan glanced at Li Zhi and saw that he was dumb, so he knew that this trick would not succeed.
but…
"Your Majesty, I feel that there is something wrong with the Qingming Canal."
You finally mentioned something serious... Do you want to plead guilty or deceive me?
Li Zhi sneered and said, "Say."
"Your Majesty." Jia Pingan took out the scroll and said to Wang Zhongliang, "Two people here."
Are you talking to us?
Wang Zhongliang wanted to turn a blind eye, but Li Zhi didn't express his opinion.
The two servants opened the picture scroll.
Thousands of miles!
Jia Ping'an almost said the wrong line, and after a dry cough, he corrected it.
"Please look, Your Majesty."
"This is..." Li Zhi looked at it, "Is this Qingming Canal?"
"Your Majesty is wise." Jia Pingan said unnutritious words, "Look at this ditch, Your Majesty. It used to be a place where birds were singing and flowers were fragrant, but since there were more dignitaries, it has gradually become silted up, and the smell is unbearable. Let alone birds, even Mice won't come."
But mice like this smelly place the most!
Li Zhi smiled, he likes such emotional expressions, because he can see the position of his subjects.
"Your Majesty, such a place... How does Your Majesty think the price of the house?"
"Low." The servant who went to investigate said that the place stinks, and God knows what the **** is under those silts. Some people say that there may be countless corpses.
Thinking about it, I feel that there is no way to live in that place.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Li Zhi frowned. If he hadn't found that Jia Ping'an was very enthusiastic, he would have suspected that the broom star Song Sheng was a trick and a fool.
"Your Majesty, I'm thinking, if you renovate this place, please take a look, Your Majesty."
Jia Pingan pointed to the picture scroll and said: "The Qingming Canal has been dredged, and flowers and trees have been planted on the side, and birds are singing and flowers are everywhere. Your Majesty, please look here. There are benches and wooden tables every other section. Take a stroll here in the morning, and sit down whenever you feel like it." , making tea with your followers, playing chess with your friends... how pleasant is it?"
"Look here, Your Majesty, there are small surprises everywhere."
"Walk here for half an hour every day. As the saying goes, if you walk a hundred steps after a meal, you can live to ninety-nine. But who wants to take a walk by the smelly ditch every day?"
"Living life is an attitude. Walking among the birds and flowers, walking on the green grassy path, all eyes are green. The water is sparkling, women are pounding clothes, in twos and threes. Children are playing in the water, The family members are shouting and calling home. Take a breath, it is full of vitality, and there is still water vapor. Your Majesty, the secular world is troubled, and everyone has the heart to go to the mountains to rest. But where is the mountain? The mountain is in the heart. In this place is Mountain. It’s time to recite a poem… I have it.”
Jia Pingan paced.
Li Zhi has been moved by the environment he described.
But... writing poems, this is the first time he saw Jia Pingan writing poems, and he was quite looking forward to it.
It is rumored that Jia Pingan needs eight steps to compose a poem. Why?
Some people speculated that this person could actually compose a poem in six steps, but in order to respect his predecessor, that is, Cao Zijian, who was rumored to compose a poem in seven steps, he took an extra step.
Sure enough, after eight steps, Jia Ping'an recited: "The bright moon leaves the branches to frighten the magpies, and the breeze sings the cicadas in the middle of the night. The fragrance of rice flowers speaks of a good year, and one can hear the sound of frogs."
interesting!
It’s been a long time since such a refreshing poem.
Li Zhi couldn't help nodding his head slightly.
As the emperor, he spends all day in the palace working on political affairs, and he also longs to go out and wander around freely.
But I can't help myself!
…
I can't help myself!
"Seven or eight stars away, two or three o'clock rain in front of the mountain. In the old days, beside the forest of Maodian Society, Luzhuanxi Bridge suddenly appeared."
Good poem!
Li Zhi took a deep breath, as if smelling the fragrance of rice flowers, as if hearing the sound of frogs right next to his ears, he even wanted to take a nap at this moment.
"Is there any more?"
People are always greedy. After hearing the poems that made him feel comfortable, Li Zhi wondered if he could have more.
But he laughed immediately, "It's hard for you to make such a famous novel. But I still expect a second one, which shows my greed. That's all."
Although Wang Zhongliang doesn’t understand poetry, he still enjoys listening to it.
Jia Ping'an thought for a while, "I... have it again."
Poetry is garlic? Come as you please. Wang Zhongliang: "..."
Li Zhi...
This is a strong support, one famous piece will be great, two, then the second one must be ordinary and mediocre.
Thinking of this, he smiled slightly.
Young people have thin skins, so don't expose them.
Jia Pingan took five steps and stopped.
"After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late to autumn. The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear springs and stones flow upwards."
Famous articles!
This is definitely a masterpiece!
Li Zhi looked at Jia Pingan in surprise.
This young man was able to compose two famous pieces in a row, each of which was more popular than the other.
Is this person's talent gushing out?
"The noise of the bamboo is returned to Huannu, and the lotus is moving down the fishing boat. The spring fragrance rests at will, and the king and grandson can stay."
Li Zhi closed his eyes, and a picture appeared in his mind: After a rain, the mountain was cold, like late autumn. The bright moon shines on the mountains through the branches and leaves of the pine trees. Clear springs flow on the rocks...
He felt relaxed all over, and the pressure and tension since ascension to the throne gradually dissipated.
Good poems have such a magical effect, allowing people to experience the scenes described in the poems.
After a long time, he woke up, opened his eyes, and was furious!
Jia Ping'an was taking a nap, his body twitched one after the other, looking like he was about to fall, but suddenly he stood still.
"Ahem!"
"Your Majesty!" Jia Pingan opened his eyes, "I have been thinking hard these days and nights, and I came up with an idea."
"Let's talk about it." Li Zhi felt relaxed, and even his mind was empty, as if in a daze.
"I'm thinking, if what's in the painting becomes a reality, how good would it be?"
Li Zhi nodded, "Yes! I also want to... Huh!"
He looked at Jia Pingan, "What do you want to do?"
Real estate boss.
Jia Pingan said seriously: "Your Majesty, how about buying a few houses?"
A thought flashed like lightning in Li Zhi's mind: he was cheated.
But this is not a lie, but an initiative to give him benefits.
He looked at Jia Pingan, waved his hand for a long time, "Go."
The emperor didn't even participate?
Jia Ping'an didn't think it mattered, but he needed to cooperate, "Your Majesty, I think the dredging can be completed in a month, if not..."
This boy is going to fool people.
But how would he fool?
Li Zhi nodded, "I see."
After he left, Li Zhi went to the harem.
He went to Concubine Xiao Shu first.
"Your Majesty!"
Concubine Xiao Shu was very pleasantly surprised, and immediately complained, telling Wu Mei and Queen Wang that they were heinous.
Li Zhi felt tired, so he found an excuse to go to Queen Wang.
The king and queen are still the same.
Li Zhi found an excuse and slipped away.
I seem to be trapped in a cocoon!
He finally went to Wu Mei.
"Why is Your Majesty here?" Wu Mei looked surprised.
After sitting down, Wu Mei made the tea herself, and then sat down, just laughing and chatting about some gossip.
Li Zhi took a sip of tea and felt very comfortable, "Jia Pingan wrote two poems in a row before, both of which are famous."
That little brother is talented, this Wu Mei knows, but two consecutive famous works are obviously too fierce.
Wu Mei was shocked.
Brother is so talented, what kind of little lady is qualified to be his wife?
"What are you thinking?" Seeing her dull, Li Zhi asked casually.
Wu Mei subconsciously said: "He is so talented, which young lady is worthy of him? The concubine is a little worried."
Li Zhi couldn't help laughing.
"Not only is he talented, but he also came up with an idea earlier... Forget it, let's not talk about it."
Li Zhi is very tangled.
He asked Jia Pingan to solve the silting of the Qingming Canal. This is punishment. He was watching a play and thought it was very interesting. But in a blink of an eye, Jia Pingan found a way.
I... feel a little aggrieved!
Then news came from the palace.
Zhou Xing said joyfully: "Wang Shangshu, His Majesty was furious and said that it was a one-month period. If the broom star can't clean up the Qingming Canal, he will be severely punished."
Wang Qi rejoiced, "Great opportunity!"
Chai Lingwu also got the news, he put his arms around a female musician and laughed loudly: "You have today too? Hahahaha!"
Baling gritted his teeth and said, "This time, he will definitely be unable to stand up again!"
What can I do?
…
Jia Ping'an went to find Li Ji.
"British lord, do you want to do something to make money?"
Followed by Liang Jianfang, Su Dingfang, Cui Shi...
Moments started.
But how?
"Dredging!"
Jia Pingan paid for and hired a large number of civilians to clear the silt.
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
The silt was constantly being brought up, and the stench was suffocating.
There are mansions next to it, the weather is hot now, and the smell of mud is strong...
"I can't get through this life? Damn, it's like living in a latrine, it's hard to get through!"
A dignitary rushed out of the house and cursed, "How long will it take to clean up?"
The foreman said: "It will last for one month, but the silt needs to dissipate the odor. I guess it will have to wait until autumn."
Damn it!
I haven’t sent it this day.
The dignitaries were angry, "How can people live in this house?"
"I think it's pretty good." Jia Ping'an was very calm.
"Stop!" The powerful are threatening.
"This is His Majesty's order."
"But Your Majesty can't let a certain family live in the toilet!"
The dignitaries were furious, "Either you buy the house, or don't even think about moving it!"
With a wave of his hand, dozens of Haonu came out with their bellies shy.
The owners of the nearby houses all came out.
"It's so satisfying!"
"This place has long been unlivable. There are so many mosquitoes in summer that I can't sleep at night."
"A certain man wanted to sell the house, but no one bought it. They all said it was too smelly and there were too many mosquitoes."
Everyone is watching the excitement.
There was a confrontation over there, and Jia Ping'an obviously withered.
"purchase!"
He gritted his teeth and said, "How much is it, I bought it."
I go!
Really buy?
Those homeowners were tempted.
This place can be said to be stinky, but everyone who has other jobs has moved away. The rest are roaring, but there is no use.
"I'm not cheating on you." The powerful and bachelor said: "The house here is not worth much now, as much as it is."
The two sides began to discuss.
Jia Ping'an also said straightforwardly: "The lowest price, otherwise I would rather go to the southwest."
The two parties delivered, and the rich and powerful family moved away happily.
This is a living example!
The second company appeared soon, but it was still noisy and blocked the construction.
"purchase!"
Jia Ping'an has made money. Everyone knows that Chang'an canteen is like a cornucopia, and the money he can earn every month makes people jealous.
But how many sets can he buy?
Wang Qi got the news and convened a meeting.
"People who live there are prone to illness."
Wang Qi sneered: "What kind of mosquitoes, what kind of smell, as long as the river canal is cleaned up, we will ensure that there is nothing wrong with it. But there is evil spirits there, and people often get sick, so many people have moved out. Whoever buys that house will regret it."
Zhou Xing said with a smile: "The most important thing now is how to make those people riot. If Jia Pingan buys a house, he doesn't have that much money. But if he doesn't buy it, those people will obstruct the dredging, and he will be burned."
Wang Qi was delighted in his heart, feeling that Zhou Xing also had rare delicate features.
"So, I remember that there are quite a few of our people living there, let them mobilize." Wang Qi clapped the table and said, "I want to see that broom star look desperate!"
Chen Erniang walked out, feeling a little dazed.
Chai Lingwu is also mobilizing.
"Anyone you know should make a noise." He said with a smile, "Do it with great fanfare."
Wang Yuerong felt a little depressed.
The evil look of that young man reappeared in his mind.
She subconsciously said: "Lang Jun, I'm afraid of attracting attention."
Chai Lingwu waved his hand, "Go and make tea."
This is to keep her away.
After Wang Yuerong left, Chai Lingwu said solemnly: "That matter has already begun, and the messenger has already set off..."
Baling was a little gloomy, "But if there is a big fanfare this time, I am afraid that the emperor and those people will be alarmed."
"It's just to alarm them." Chai Lingwu smiled, that smile was a bit ferocious, "If they are all staring at this matter, they will naturally relax, which happens to be convenient for us."
Baling said happily: "So, the broom star is still our lucky star?"
"Exactly." Chai Lingwu was also quite happy, "This is an opportunity. Once there is a commotion, Gao Yang will enter the game. Your younger sister thinks highly of the broom star. If Jia Ping'an is driven to those plagued places, she will definitely go crazy. , this is our benefit. Li Ji and the others will also move, so... the court will be a little chaotic, who will care about us?"
Baling leaned on his shoulder and said relaxedly, "Your Excellency is really wise."
Chai Lingwu fixedly looked at a piece of writing in front of him, "What kind of heroes are Aye and A Niang? Without A Niang's plan to fight back then, Datang... where did Datang come from?"
Ba Ling sighed: "Yes!"
Princess Pingyang can be regarded as a great hero for Li Tang to establish the country. Without her in the early stage, it would be a question whether Datang could establish the country.
And Chai Shao is even a famous general, and made great military exploits for the Tang Dynasty.
"But look at what Aye and Auntie have achieved?" Chai Lingwu gritted his teeth and said, "Look at Changsun Wuji, his merits can't even compare with Aye and Auntie's fingers, but he has power in the government and the public. They are all relatives." , why favor one over another?"
Ba Ling leaned on his shoulder, silent.
…
"This place is unlivable. If you don't buy a house, we won't do it, but who would dare to do this?"
The power of gathering a group of dignitaries is not small, at least the foreman and the peasants are afraid.
Everyone throw away your tools...
"Don't do it, this is the business of the nobles, it has nothing to do with us."
A man connected with the civilian husbands, and went back later to find Du He.
"Here, this is the reward, remember to encourage them to work hard later."
"yes."
Jia Pingan over there seems to be sitting on wax.
"Someone doesn't have that much money!"
"What does this have to do with us? Why don't we wait until winter to start construction, which doesn't smell very bad."
This suggestion is reasonable, but everyone knows that the emperor only gave Jia Pingan a month, not to mention winter, even midsummer.
Jia Pingan gritted his teeth and went back.
An interested person found out that he went to Liang Jianfang's house, and then Li's house...
Then the carriage came with loads of money.
"Jia Ping'an is going crazy."
In Chang'an City, the news that the broom star has gone crazy is spreading wildly.
He borrowed money frantically to buy the house in that area, which can be said to be heavily in debt.
Some people say that this is the fate of the broom star, and it's his bad luck.
Some people also said that someone was punishing him, and the emperor was still an accomplice.
Gao Yang came with great momentum.
"How far is it?" Gao Yang held the small whip, as proud as a queen.
"A lot." Jia Ping'an was a bit frustrated like someone who was on soft food.
"I'm out."
Gao Yang is rich and powerful now, making people envious when he makes a move.
purchase! purchase! purchase!
Jia Ping'an's face was gloomy.
Wang Qi was laughing, doing needlework less and less.
Chai Lingwu was preparing for a major event, and after paying attention to it in his spare time, he hugged a few musicians to have fun.
Until the first stream of clear ditch water flows past...
At this time, only half a month has passed.
Then there are people constructing in the back, transplanting flowers and trees by the canal, building small scenic spots, getting some tables and stools...
