Having said so much

Wang Tong asked hesitantly, but hesitated:

"But in just one month, most of these houses have residents. For the New Year, can they be completed in a hurry?"

He thought moving was a problem, but he didn't expect that Zou Yi waved his hand and said without taking it seriously:

"What can I do if I can't finish it? Let's write a letter tomorrow, and send the officers and soldiers over. If the people are moved away, they will be demolished. Who dares to say no?"

After saying that, he waved to the three builders and asked them to go back and prepare in detail. Wang Tong began to breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that the matter could be resolved smoothly, but he always felt uneasy. After the three builders left, he suddenly remembered where the inappropriate ones were.

Isn’t what Zou Yi said about demolition? It seems that this is still a forced demolition. In the cold winter, as the end of the year approaches, it is a difficult thing to move out of the ancestral home, let alone this forced demolition. Moreover, this matter needs to be done, it seems that not only these residents are suffering.

At this moment, Wang Tong suddenly thought a lot about the construction of the schoolyard and demolition residents, and spent public funds, which was too similar to some of the projects he handled in his previous life.

Such projects are profitable, but the risks are also quite large. At that time, it was nothing more than a business world, but this era involved the royal family, not only business, but also political factors.

If political factors are involved, you must be careful and not take a wrong step. If you take a wrong step, it is a risk of being broken into pieces...

Zou Yi originally had something to talk to Wang Tong, but Wang Tong's sudden silence made him a little confused. Zou Yi's personality was feminine and there was nothing on the surface. He just stood up and clasped his fists and said goodbye.

"Brother Zou stay!"

Wang Tong shouted, pondered for a while, and said slowly:

"Brother Zou, I don't know whether to say it or not?"

"We are already brothers, Brother Wang has something to say, why bother so hesitate?"

"Brother Zou, since the emperor came to the delicacies restaurant, Eunuch Feng and Master Zhang have also come here to see it. Ordinary people don't know, but there must be many people in the capital who are staring at this place."

Zou Yi nodded. These are just things that anyone with discerning eyes can see. Wang Tong said nothing about it. Wang Tong continued:

"Looking at the people here, some think we are good, some think we are bad. In this case, the households are relocated, and they will complain. If someone catches the handle and says you and my brothers take the opportunity to make money and make trouble, and the court officials clamor for the participation, it will be troublesome. Even this is not counting. I don't know how many eunuchs come and go here. The news will be transmitted to the palace or even to the empress dowager. I guess my appreciation for the people is gone..."

The words were so cruel that Zou Yi took a breath and sat down again. Wang Tong had not finished speaking. If he really reached that point, not only would the accumulated luck disappear, but he would probably have a disaster.

"Brother Zou said before that everything was the money of the treasury in the palace. The infrastructure construction work is the most abundant. I guess there are many opportunities to do it!"

Speaking of this, even the quiet Zou Yi glared at him and wanted to be angry, but Wang kept talking:

"We are lucky and too smooth. I don't know how many people are waiting for us to make mistakes. I'll say, you can't even touch this money."

"If you don't demolish it, wouldn't it be even more a joke to let the emperor be in your small courtyard?"

"Brother Zou, although it is cold and the New Year is full, if the money is given enough and the officials are under pressure, who would not want to move in those dozens of families? Haven't you also said that? Anyway, if you pay money in the palace, you don't have to save money, and give it to the people more. If they get a cheaper price, they will naturally not complain, and they can easily build the schoolyard. What's wrong with this?"

Wang Tong showed off his ability to persuade his superiors to support him and explained his interests. To put it in detail, Zou Yi's mood fluctuated, but in the end he stared at Wang Tong.

After he finished speaking, Zou Yi patted his hands gently and said with a smile:

"For my brother, I really want to check your background again. At the age of fourteen, I have such scheming and considerate so comprehensively. If someone hadn't impersonated, he would probably be a genius with talent in Su Hui."

This was actually a flattery. Both sides laughed, Zou Yi nodded and said:

"Brother Wang is saying a good word. Then our family will go back to the palace tonight to report to Eunuch Zhang. The adoptive father is still waiting to reply!"

Both sides said a few details. Zou Yi stood up and said goodbye with his fists, then left. His attitude was adapted again. Zou Yi started to see Wang Tong, who was just a smart child, and later he was a calm companion who deserved to be accepted. Now he looked at him, who was a hero with similar knowledge and demeanor and even had some experiences. He should treat him respectfully.

Not to mention Wang Tong's busyness and preparation, on that night, Emperor Wanli's biological mother, Empress Dowager Cisheng, listened in detail to the report of Zhang Cheng, the eunuch of the Silijian, in his small house. All the words Wang Tong and Zou Yi said were not misunderstood.

"It's good to run more and be stronger, but the body of the late emperor is weak..."

Li's comments made him feel moved. He couldn't help but take out a veil and wipe the corners of his eyes. Zhang Cheng didn't expect such an atmosphere and stood there awkwardly.

"Mother, don't cry, and the emperor and sons will accompany you."

Not far from Li's house, a child said calmly, with a silly voice. The child's eyebrows and eyes were quite similar to Wanli, but he was thin and handsome. He was wearing a small troupe of a vassal king and was sitting on a chair reading a book.

Hearing the child's innocent comfort, Li couldn't help but burst into tears and smiled. He looked at him lovingly and praised with a smile:

"Liang'er is so good, my mother doesn't cry."

Empress Dowager Cisheng adjusted her emotions and said lightly to Zhang Cheng, who was standing there respectfully bowing his head:

"I know that I care about the reputation of the Tian family and the interests of the people, and know that I can cause trouble and consider things so comprehensively, it is not in vain that the Ai family will like him... Zou Yi, who is the Inner Official Supervision, knows that everything is reported, and this is good, so I arranged for him to prepare with Wang Tong. After working for a few years, he will be transferred to the Sili Supervision Bureau to serve as a member of the class."

"Thank you for your kindness and reward."

The Sili Supervisor has a seal, an admiral, and a pen, and four or five people in the classroom. Other prisoners can enter the Sili Supervisor to be a follower, which is equivalent to officials from other courts entering the cabinet to be a senior minister, but it is a great promotion.

After thanking Zhang Cheng, he said again:

"Wang Tong said that he would summon one hundred good boys from thirteen to fourteen to accompany the emperor to practice this matter..., Empress Dowager?"

"It's better to have more activities with some children of similar age. Let's talk about these things today with Feng Bao and Mr. Zhang, and ask them."
