Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 326, was discovered

After sending off Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin also silently calculated.

"Zhu Houzhao still has millions of taels of silver in his hands. It seems that he has to find a way to spend the silver in his hands. This silver is a hard lump in the cellar, and it can only be produced when it is circulated in the market. value."

"We must bring him with us in weaving. Once the spinning jenny comes out, countless ordinary people will lose a source of income. At that time, there will definitely be criticism from the court."

"Well, we have to bring Emperor Hongzhi, plus Lao Zhang and the others, and let them share some pressure together."

"At least if you are engaged in textiles, it is difficult to spend so much money. Can you come to build roads, learn from future generations, and collect road fees?"

Thinking of this, Liu Jin also took out the map of Daming, looked carefully, and prepared to find the most valuable route to test the water first.

It has always been very expensive to engage in infrastructure construction. Although the return is relatively slow, it can greatly stimulate domestic demand.

"Let's build a concrete road in the north-south direction first, from Tianjin to Shandong, and then from Shandong to Anhui."

Soon, Liu Jin drew a line on the map along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

"This cement factory is constantly expanding, so what if we don't find some sales."

After drawing this line, Liu Jin also smiled, which served multiple purposes.

Although cement has been used on a large scale in Daming, but because the imperial court has no money, until now, the only cement road in the entire Daming is the Beijing-Tianjin line. In other places, it is still a dilapidated official road.

If building a toll road can make everyone see the benefits of building roads, I am afraid that there will be a wave of road repairs in all parts of Ming Dynasty. The cement roads will naturally have many benefits.

"Brother Jin, I've received a letter~"

Just when Liu Jin was thinking about next year, Er Hu happily walked in with a letter in his hand.

"Whose letter?"

Liu Jin asked without raising his head.

"Lee Jung's~"

Erhu put the letter on Liu Jin's desk and said softly.

"Looking at you like this, you probably saw the girl of your dreams again?"

Liu Jin looked at Erhu, Erhu was giggling at this moment, his face brimming with love hormones, Liu Jin knew that the person who came to deliver the letter this time must be Li Zhen's maid, Xiaocui.

Zhao Erhu patted his head, his face flushed immediately, not to mention, this Xiaocui came to deliver letters every now and then, and he got on good terms with Erhu who came and went, this kid was also lucky.

Liu Jin smiled and opened the letter. Li Zhen's handwriting was very delicate, full of aura, and every line was full of missing Liu Jin. He asked Liu Jin to meet at the old place.

"Have you bought the things I asked you to buy?"

Some time ago, Liu Jin went to Tanggu to be busy with the Changlu Salt Field, so he hadn't seen Xu Wan'er and Li Zhen for almost half a month.

"Buy it, buy it."

Erhu hurriedly replied.

"Let's go, go to the old place~"

"Ok~Ok~"

As soon as Liu Jin finished speaking, Er Hu immediately nodded happily. Every time Liu Jin dated Li Zhen, he also dated Xiao Cui, so when he heard that he was going to the old place, he understood.

……

In a box on the third floor of Gujin Building, Liu Jin waited patiently while drinking tea.

That's right, Gujinlou is where Liu Jin and Li Zhen go on a date every time. Unlike Xu Wan'er, who goes on a date with Xu Wan'er, Liu Jin always goes to Dingguo's mansion openly and aboveboard. Liu Jin went to drink and eat, in fact, for the convenience of Liu Jin and Xu Waner's date.

But Li Zhen is different. He and Li Zhen are still in an underground relationship. Li Zhen's family doesn't even know about Liu Jin and Li Zhen, so they always sneak around.

Liu Jin also had a headache for a while because of the date, and finally thought of Gujin Building. This is Liu Jin's own property, privacy is guaranteed, and it is located in the center of the capital, with convenient transportation, surrounded by various Li Zhen can come out just by finding an excuse.

"It's really troublesome. I don't know how to show them off."

Thinking of Xu Wan'er and Li Zhen, Liu Jin had another headache. Now that he was on two boats, he didn't know how to get off the boat. Fortunately, this is the evil old society, and three wives and four concubines are very normal. He bears the infamy of Zhongshan wolf and heartless man.

"Liu Lang~"

When she was having a headache, Li Zhen walked in gently. When she saw Liu Jin, she immediately threw herself into Liu Jin's arms. Feeling the aura emanating from Liu Jin's body, she suddenly started to cry. up.

"Little fool, why are you crying?"

Liu Jin gently wiped away her tears, looked at the beauty in her arms, and couldn't help but kiss her gently.

Li Zhen did not evade, but responded enthusiastically. Compared with Xu Wan'er, she was much bolder and more daring to express her inner feelings.

After a long time, Liu Jin hugged Li Zhen tightly, and smelled the faint fragrance of her body.

"Come and see the gift I brought you."

Liu Jin took out the gift that he had prepared, which was packed in a delicate wooden box.

"What else did you buy me?"

Li Zhen gave Liu Jin a white look. Liu Jin never forgets to bring her a gift every time, and every time he goes on a date with Liu Jin, he always has a little expectation. Facts have proved that this kind of trick that has been used by later generations is still effective in any era.

She opened the box with a smile, and inside was a green jade hairpin, the workmanship was very fine, but more importantly, the jade was the finest jadeite jade.

"Like it?"

Liu Jin hugged Li Zhen gently, and asked with a smile.

"I like it, as long as it is given by you."

Li Zhen nodded happily, and threw herself into Liu Jin's embrace.

"I'll plug it in for you~"

Liu Jin picked up the jade hairpin and gently inserted it on Li Zhen, and then took a closer look. Li Zhen was covered with various things from Liu Jin, such as necklaces, earrings, bracelets, jade pendants, and so on. I have already sent a few of the jade hairpins inserted, so that Liu Jin suddenly started to worry, what should I give next time?

"What are you dazed about?"

Seeing Liu Jin staring at her in a daze, Li Zhen couldn't help scolding.

"I wonder why my little fool is so pretty?"

Liu Jin came back to his senses, smiled and said.

"I know that you are glib, and you are not serious."

Li Zhen gave Liu Jin a white look. Although he said this in his mouth, his heart was as sweet as eating honey.

Then he leaned lightly on Liu Jin's shoulder, thought for a while and said, "Liu Lang, I know you also like Sister Wan'er, but it doesn't matter, as long as you have me in your heart, I am willing to be a little girl."

Hearing Li Zhen's words, Liu Jin felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He stood there in a daze, not knowing how to answer.

She actually knew the matter between herself and Xu Wan'er. Could it be that Xu Wan'er also knew about the matter between herself and Li Zhen? Liu Jin couldn't help but his eyes darkened suddenly, feeling like being caught in bed.

"Little fool~"

Not knowing what to say, Liu Jin could only hold Li Zhen in his arms, gently patted her head and said.

"Liu Lang~"

Seeing Liu Jin silently admitting it, Li Zhen couldn't help but hugged Liu Jin tightly, yelled softly, and then began to cry again.

Although I know that it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, his father, grandfather, and brother in the family all have three wives and four concubines. A concubine who is still young.

But at the thought of sharing her beloved with others, Li Zhen couldn't help crying again.

"Why are you crying, you won't be pretty if you cry~"

Liu Jin said in a soft voice, and helped her gently wipe away her tears, feeling very guilty in her heart.

"Hmm~"

Li Zhen stopped crying, and lay gently in Liu Jin's arms, enjoying this beautiful moment that belonged to the two of them.

....
In fact, just as Liu Jin expected, not only Xu Wan'er also knew that Liu Jin liked Li Zhen, but also the two had communicated with each other in private.

When Liu Jin came to Dingguo Mansion as a guest to meet Xu Wan'er on Huxin Island, Xu Wan'er also talked about Li Zhen's matter with Liu Jin, which made Liu Jin couldn't help being embarrassed for a while.

"That's fine, anyway, sooner or later there will be a showdown, so it's good to have a showdown now."

Also comforting Xu Wan'er in a gentle voice again, Liu Jin couldn't help but sigh again that the evil old society seems to be not completely useless, at least like a man who marries another is not considered a scumbag.

And in this era, everyone is used to three wives and four concubines, and they can accept it.

　Are three wives and four concubines considered a fine tradition?
