When the clerk at the door of Haijia heard this, he was stunned.
"The imperial court's special envoy to build roads?"
He didn't expect that such a high-ranking official would come to their Zhantai County, and he was also a special envoy of the imperial court.
"Special envoy, wait a moment, I will report it right away!"
The clerk didn't dare to say anything and went in immediately to report.
At this moment, in the Haijia study room, the head of the Haijia family, Hai Dafu, was sipping tea, and soon the clerk came running over.
"Master, there is a person calling himself a special envoy at the door... He said that the imperial court asked them to build the road..."
After saying this, Hai Dafu was surprised and couldn't help but said: "What, a special envoy from the imperial court? Or someone who came to build roads?"
He suddenly thought of something and nodded.
"Yes, the imperial court did want to build roads some time ago. There are two roads in total, running north, south, east and west, through the land of our Han Dynasty."
"I didn't expect that you would come to our Zhantai County. Please invite me quickly."
Hai Dafu did not dare to neglect and spoke quickly. The clerk did not waste any words and ran out in a hurry. After a while, he invited Qin Huaidao and Luo Wu over and came to the study.
"Hai Dafu meets with the special envoy."
Hai Dafu was very polite and bowed directly.
"You're welcome, Master Hai. I came here today to ask for something."
Qin Huaidao smiled and nodded slightly when he saw Hai Dafu's humble and understanding etiquette.
This person is actually a good businessman. Although there is something wrong with monopolizing business, it doesn't matter if he can really bring happiness to the people of Zhantai County.
"Your Majesty, please speak."
Hai Dafu didn't talk nonsense and said respectfully.
"Manpower is needed to build roads. I want to find some capable young people from you, and the court will pay them wages. But for this manpower, I need Mr. Hai's help to find it."
After saying this, Hai Dafu naturally had no hesitation.
"It's easy to talk, special envoy, this matter will be taken care of by me!"
Since it was a matter of the imperial court, it was a big deal, so of course he would not dare to go against the imperial court.
"I can't let you do it all by yourself. There is also the Yin family. I wonder if Mr. Hai can call the Yin family here and let them contribute."
Even if the Hai family is good, they can’t catch just one family in the Hai family!
This is really too much. At least a bowl of water should be level.
But before he finished speaking, Hai Dafu coughed dryly and said immediately: "Special envoy, please don't call us the Yin family. I'm afraid they won't pay attention to this matter."
Qin Huaidao frowned and ignored this matter?
What does this mean?
"Master Hai, I wonder why you said what you said?"
Qin Huaidao was very puzzled. After hearing this, Hai Dafu said: "The Yin family has always been domineering. Fortunately, because of the restraint of my Hai family, they did not dare to go too far, but let them contribute to help the court build roads.
, they are afraid they will refuse."
Hai Dafu didn't dare to hide anything and told him directly.
"Is this so?"
Qin Huaidao was a little dissatisfied. It was not free, but labor had to be paid. Even so, the Yin family was still unwilling? This was a bit shameless!
"Master Hai can recommend it, but if he doesn't use it, we'll discuss it later."
Qin Huaidao still had to call the Yin family for questioning.
If they disobey, then Qin Huaidao will naturally not let him go!
"Hey... okay."
Hai Dafu didn't say much and just asked someone to invite him.
Not long after, someone from the Yin family came.
However, it was a young man who came, which made Hai Dafu stunned.
"Yin Feng, why is it you? Why didn't your father come?"
Hai Dafu was confused. He was clearly calling Yin Changbai, the head of the Yin family, but he didn't expect his son Yin Feng to come.
"Uncle Hai, my father cannot come because he is not feeling well. He has given me full authority to handle this matter."
Yin Feng said calmly.
"Well... well, let me introduce you to them. These two are special envoys appointed by the imperial court. They come to recruit young people for road construction. They will be paid. I would like to ask our Hai family and your Yin family to help recruit them!
”
After Hai Dafu finished speaking briefly, Yin Feng was stunned. He didn't expect it to be like this!
"It turns out I was just looking for someone, what did I think it was?"
"But...Uncle Hai should know that our Yin family has a small number of people, and most of them are farming in Zhuangzi, so...Uncle Hai please be more considerate, there is nothing our Yin family can do to help!" p>
As soon as these words came out, Qin Huaidao and Luo Wu both looked a little unhappy!
Is there nothing I can do to help?
Humph! That’s why you don’t want to help!
This Yin family is really shameless!
"This... okay, our Hai family has full assistance in this matter. Please come back, my dear nephew."
Hai Dafu sighed and didn't say much. Only then did Yin Feng cup his hand.
"Your Majesty, Special Envoy, take your leave."
After saying that, he left directly.
Qin Huaidao frowned, this Yin family is a bit arrogant!
Let's not talk about building roads for the Han Dynasty. The common people should do some meager efforts. Qin Huaidao also paid wages and just allocated some manpower from them. I don't agree with this!
"Well... Mr. Special Envoy, how many people do you need? I'll arrange it for you."
At this time, Hai Dafu spoke quickly, showing his helplessness.
"Has the Yin family always been like this? So selfish?"
Luo Wu immediately spoke, and Hai Dafu, who heard this, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Hey... Special Envoy, I can't say anything about this. How many people are you short of? I'll prepare manpower for you."
After hearing this, Qin Huaidao could only say: "At least a few hundred people."
Only part of their soldiers were brought with them, and the rest were building roads in Sishui County. He brought few people.
Hai Dafu was shocked, this is not a small amount!
He took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay, special envoy, please wait a moment. I will recruit people for you right now."
With that said, he went to get ready. Qin Huaidao naturally saw Hai Dafu's dilemma and sighed.
"Your Majesty, why don't you force the Yin family to surrender?"
"They have monopolized the business and let the entire Zhantai County work for them. Now for their own benefit, they even stand by and watch us men build roads. How can we leave them alone!"
Luo Wu's fiery temper came up immediately, and he said angrily.
Qin Huaidao shook his head and said, "The Yin family doesn't want to take care of it. Even if they forcefully ask for someone, I'm afraid it will cause trouble. Let's see if the Hai family can handle this matter first?"
"Besides, I always feel that... this matter won't be that simple. Let's see what the Yin family wants to do!"
Qin Huaidao did not want to use thunderous means to deal with them.
He just wants to see what the Yin family's purpose is in standing idly by. If he catches them, the Yin family will have to shed some blood!
"Well..."
Luo Wu didn't say much, he believed that His Majesty must have his own plan!
Soon, Hai Dafu came.
"Special envoy, have your manpower ready, I will take you there."
