Chapter 1618 This is not a matter of golden tofu and silver tofu. Your Highness, please hold on tight first (please subscribe and vote)
It's a pity that Brother Cheng San is not in Chang'an. The various delicacies prepared by the imperial chefs are not as delicious as those cooked by Brother Cheng himself.
Especially lotus leaf chicken and bamboo tube rice...
Li Mingda had begun to lose focus, while Wu Meiniang fell into deep thought again.
At this moment, a female palace lady came to the door and knocked gently on the door.
Li Mingda frowned in displeasure, then stood up and turned around. "What's the matter?"
"Your Highness, the steward of the Imperial Manor has sent over all the spring account books..."
"Yeah, I understand. Let's put it in my room first. I'll check it out later."
Li Mingda waved his hand and just sat down, when suddenly his eyes lit up and he raised his head.
"Yes!" This was what Li Mingda said.
"I thought of it!" This was what Wu Meiniang said.
The two shrewd women walked in unison, looked at each other, smiled, and said one word in unison: "Huangzhuang."
That's right, it's the Imperial Manor, just like the Imperial Manor outside Chang'an City that His Majesty gave Li Mingda before.
It was originally an ordinary village, because after being rewarded to Li Mingda, the people of that ordinary village.
Their land will be nationalized. Of course, the court will resettle them in another place and give them enough land and wealth.
Luoyang was originally the capital of the East, where the emperor of the Tang Dynasty had his imperial palace.
Nowadays, if another imperial palace is established, it is a matter for the emperor. Even if the courtiers want to object, there is no sufficient reason.
Li Mingda and Wu Meiniang couldn't help but smile at each other. They really felt like they cherished each other and had met their opponents.
Soon, these two elite women of the Tang Dynasty, who had superhuman IQs and equally high emotional intelligences, began to murmur in low voices.

I heard the business manager who came from Luoyang say this.
Cheng Chubi's face suddenly darkened, and Li Ke couldn't help but look surprised.
"What's going on? Is it possible? Who else dares to come out and make things difficult for our Han and Tang Dynasty merchants?"
"Is it the Zheng family of Xingyang, the Ling of Luoyang, or which aristocratic family?"
Manager Chai shook his head with a bitter look on his face, and then recounted the difficulties he had encountered these days.
A few days ago, the situation was pretty good. After all, what the Han and Tang Dynasties Commercial Bank wanted to build was the palace of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, the territory was allocated by the imperial court, so naturally no one dared to deviate from it.
But after that, various minor troubles arose. Fortunately, Manager Chai was also a very capable person. If he could solve it, he would find ways to solve it himself.
If it can't be solved, either write a letter to Chang'an and communicate with Cheng Sanlang and other shareholders to solve the problem.
For example, we cannot recruit enough manpower here. Now, we have recruited professional technical teams from various factories and mines in Luzhou. Five of them have arrived in advance, with a total of five to six hundred people.
After all, cement burning, brick burning, and tile burning are both technical and labor-intensive tasks. How can we do things if there are few people?
However, Te Niang's Luoyang order more than a month ago ordered that in order to cope with the coming rainy season, large-scale construction and dam construction should be carried out.
At this time, almost all the local people who had entered the cement factory to work were taken away.
After all, this was a serious matter, and the Han and Tang dynasties were powerless to stop it. For this matter, Chai Guanshi went all the way to Chang'an for help.
The only solution Cheng Chubi could think of was to continue recruiting people from Jiannan Road. Fortunately, the people in Luzhou, Jiannan Road, were not averse to working in other places.
After all, Cheng Sanlang originally let the engineering team wander around, causing chaos all over Jiannan Road.
Letting them come to Luoyang now will slow down the construction plan of the cement official road of Jiannan Road, but at least it will not leave the upcoming construction of the palace without workers.
What's more, those Hu people, whether they are building roads or doing construction, are all standard skilled workers, and they are definitely the kind that can be used after being hired.
But the problem is that the cement factory built before was close to the bank of the Yellow River, and the location of the palace was in the suburbs of Luoyang.
Therefore, if you want to transport cement, you must naturally choose the nearest road.
But the problem is that something happened to the road that the Han and Tang Dynasty merchant transport teams used to take.
"...This is the north of Luoyang. There are fields everywhere. There is only one road that can easily reach the location of the palace."
"If we can't go this way, we have to go up the bank of the Yellow River for twenty miles, and then go south, back and forth. I don't know how much time it will take."
"Originally, one of our vehicles could transport cement four to five times a day, but now.
Because the people in Zhengjiazhuang have piled up debris and set up stalls for business on that road, it is difficult to pass at all."
"Previously, our carriage knocked over a tofu stall, causing the young woman selling tofu to fall to the ground."
"Just for this reason, it took a full fifty guan to settle the matter."
"Fifty guan? Is he selling gold tofu or silver tofu?!" Li Ke, His Highness the King of Wu, who had been thinking about his own clothes all day long, was immediately confused.
Even if I go to Pingkangfang to find the most beautiful girl, I won't spend so much in one day.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that he has a good face and is eloquent. Well... these are not the main point.
The point is, could the tofu seller who was knocked down be more beautiful than the top lady from Pingkangfang?

"This is not a matter of golden tofu and silver tofu. Your Highness, please hold still while Manager Chai continues."
After listening to Manager Chai's chattering, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but feel bad and rolled his eyes.
"Since it is Zhengjiazhuang, it must have some relationship with the Zheng family in Xingyang."
Manager Chai nodded and then spoke.
"This villain has also had this idea. He went to find the Zheng family specifically and wanted to ask them to make peace."
"The Zheng family also specially sent a steward over there. After he went to persuade him, things got better for a day or two, but then it was still the same..."
Having said this, Butler Chai sighed helplessly. "The other parties are ordinary people, and we really can't be violent over this matter."
"The villain then went to find the Luoyang County Magistrate. As a result, the Luoyang County Government directly told the villain that the road was built by the people of Zhengjiazhuang themselves."
"As long as they do nothing illegal or disciplined, it is impossible for the government to come forward to deal with the matter."
"The villain even thought about spending money to calm the matter, but guess what..."
"No need to guess, there's no chance." Cheng Chubi grimaced and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
I originally thought that after arriving in Luoyang, I could flex my muscles and make a good splash in building the palace.
As a result, as soon as I arrived in Luoyang, I got hammered...
