Chapter 143 Unity is Strength

In the early morning, on the official road that was not yet crowded, a carriage headed towards the east gate of Chang'an City.

On the carriage, Zhang Jian looked at a box in front of him. There was actually ten thousand dollars in it.

He couldn't even imagine that Du He trusted him so much.

He raised his head and looked at Cheng Yiyue who was silent.

Cheng Yiyue glared at her and said, "Look at whatever you are looking at. If you look again, I will kill you. No one can stare at me except Du He."

Zhang Jian: "..."

A carriage drove into Chang'an City, and no one knew what kind of storm this fang would stir up in the future.



In the blink of an eye, it has entered midsummer.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Workers on the construction site no longer wear shirts when working. Dozens of shirtless men are working non-stop by the river all day long. The scene is very spectacular.

This day has arrived.

Everyone stopped.

Du He took Yang Hao, Zhang Du, Wang Erniu and others to inspect it inside and out, and then announced in front of everyone that the Datang Furniture Factory and Datang Study House were completed.

A group of men suddenly cheered.

The huge waterwheel made a creaking sound.

Two huge buildings stand on high ground beside the river.

Starting from the official road in the distance, there is a unique road, completely paved with stone slabs, connecting the furniture factory and the official road. This road is wider and smoother than the official road. Workers built this road alone.

It took three days to complete.

When you arrive at the gate, there is a big door.

There are two huge pillars on both sides of the gate. There are two burly men standing at the door. Each man is holding a wolf in his hand. Yes, it is a wolf that Du Hehua bought from a hunter at a high price. Although it has been tamed,

But the wildness has not changed and it looks very scary.

Looking at the attire of these two people, it is also unusual. They even serve in the same uniform. There are several embroidered characters on the chest: Datang Furniture Factory.

This gate is not the previous gate, but has a fence underneath the door frame, which looks very simple.

In a furniture factory, it is completely an assembly line production.

There is currently only one production line, and the power brought by the huge waterwheel drives the assembly line to rotate.

Behind the furniture factory is the Datang Study. The study is not only for movable type printing, but also has a papermaking production line. Du He hired seven or eight masters from Chang'an City at a high price and can put it into production at any time.

Behind it is the canteen and workers' dormitories.

The dormitory is two small two-story buildings. Each room has bunk beds and can accommodate eight people. It is ventilated, spacious and bright.

Not far away from the river bank is the administrative building, a three-story building. Du He's residence is on the third floor, and the first and second floors are used for offices.

Even the workers who were present all day long couldn't believe that this magical furniture factory and study room were built by themselves.

After a short time, everyone gathered in the square behind the gate.

Du He walked up to the high platform, raised a wooden loudspeaker, and said loudly: "Hey, brothers, I announce that our Datang Furniture Factory and Datang Study Studio construction projects are officially completed today. Today, we give everyone a holiday.

Everyone can move around freely. Later, everyone will come to Yang Hao to receive the bonus. Everyone will have a bonus of at least 100 Wen."

"good……"

The cheers sounded like a tsunami.

These guys took the bonuses and entered Chang'an City one after another. Most of them went to Pingkangfang and gave all the hundred coins to those well-dressed prostitutes.

When it got dark and before dinner started in the cafeteria, no one was left alone, because Du He had already ordered that everyone must come back before dinner started, otherwise they would be expelled. Although Du He seemed to be easy to get along with, no one would think that

He is joking.

After dinner, the bonfire party in the square began.

This was a grand bonfire party planned by Du He himself. The torch was as tall as three people, and the flames were burning. When the wind blew, the flames crackled.

A group of well-fed and drunk men gathered around the torch and started singing and dancing hand in hand under Du He's command.

Du He held a wooden trumpet in his hand and cursed loudly: "Shut up for me, now, sing with me!"

Everyone shut up and waited for Du He to speak.

Du He sang: "Unity is strength..."

A group of men were stunned for a moment, and then they all shouted: "Unity is strength!"

"This power is iron!"

"This power is steel!"

"Harder than iron, stronger than steel!"

The men's out-of-tune singing started up one after another.

From time to time, you can still hear Du He’s curses.

"Sing it for me!"

"Speak louder, haven't you eaten yet?"

"If anyone doesn't speak up, I'll stuff him into a bull's-eye."

The singing became louder and louder, and after singing it a few times, everyone in Hei learned it, but it made Du He hoarse.



Not far from the lively scene of the bonfire party in the square, on the other side of the river.

A woman is standing.

She witnessed the entire bonfire party from the beginning to the end.

A palace maid stepped forward, took a cloak, and said distressedly: "Princess, let's go back. It's very windy and cold here by the Bahe River."

This woman is none other than Princess Runan, Li Yuanshu.

Li Yuanshu, now fourteen years old, is slim and tall, with a slim waist and long legs. She is as tall as Du He.

She tried to open her eyes wide and watched Du He throw down the trumpet in the square.

It wasn't until his figure disappeared that Li Yuanshu turned around and asked: "Anu, Du He must be very sad now, right?"

"Princess, I don't understand what you mean."

Li Yuanshu looked at herself and said: "Yes, he must be very sad, otherwise how could he move out of Chang'an? He is different from the people in the court. There is still a big difference between him and them.

Others will not run away from marriage or move out of Chang'an. He always has his own reasons for doing things..."

Li Yuanshu even became a little incoherent.

What saddens her most is that she didn't help Du He when he was in despair.

Now, Du He has built a new furniture factory and study next to the Bahe River. It looks more majestic than before. Those buildings are so beautiful, but he didn't even invite himself... Does Du He still have himself in his heart?

When she thought about the incident of escaping from marriage, Li Yuanshu became confused.

At this time, the palace maid Anu asked curiously: "Princess, today, it is clear that Her Royal Highness Princess Changle will leave the palace, why don't you let her come with you?"

Li Yuanshu shook her head: "Don't I know about my sister's temper? Ever since she found out about Du He's illness, she hasn't eaten or drank all day long and has been depressed. I know that she also likes Du He, but she is too impulsive.

If she comes with him, she will probably be unable to help but rush to meet Du He, and by then, I'm afraid she will cause trouble again."

"Anu, let's go back!"

In the dark night, Anu led Li Yuanshu into the carriage.

From then on, there was one more thing on her mind that she couldn't resolve by the Bahe River.
