Chapter 397: Reconstruction of dilapidated buildings in the west of the city
The emperor was happy and laughed cheerfully again. Liu Xiaowu, who was outside the imperial study, listened to his laughter and kept muttering to the sky.
"Thank you, Doctor Du! I pray that all the gods will bless Doctor Du with a long life. The emperor hasn't laughed so heartily in a long time. Hearing his hearty laughter is a great honor for him."
Seeing the emperor happy, the prince said a few more words: "This is nothing, the key is that Doctor Du also arranged the people from Liangjun City to the west of the city.
I heard that the boss of the dental clinic named Liu Sanqian was so busy that his wife and concubines were both pregnant, and he was always smiling from ear to ear.
The emperor was confused: "What do you mean, my wife and concubine are both pregnant? What does that mean?"
"Liu Sanqian was childless, but Doctor Du cured him." The prince knew he had not explained it clearly, so he re-explained, "His wife and concubine both became pregnant. I heard that his eldest sister poisoned his mother in order to have her grandson adopted by him, and it was Doctor Du who cured her of the poison."
The emperor was furious: "There is such a hateful woman? Have you reported it to the authorities?"
"No, the Liu family doesn't dare."
"Why?" The emperor seemed to understand after asking, "Is the husband of the eldest sister of the Liu family an official?"
"Yes!" The prince nodded. "Liu Sanqian didn't dare to report to the authorities. He couldn't afford to lose face. Doctor Du said to let nature take its course."
After a moment's silence, the emperor nodded slightly and said, "Let it be! A cornered dog will jump over the wall, which will be detrimental to Liu Sanqian's family. A woman in the harem can poison her own mother, and she will also attack Liu Sanqian if she is forced into a corner."
"yes!"
The prince did not talk about this matter anymore, but started talking about something else.
Now that father and son get along well and are honest with each other, the prince's position is becoming more and more stable.
The emperor went to see Du Wanwan some time ago and asked her, "If I plan to quit, will it have any impact on the Wei Dynasty?"
At that time, Du Wanwan looked at him without any strangeness in her eyes. Instead, she looked calm, as if she had known he would say that.
"No matter what the impact is, it is not as important as your own health. If you don't want to do it, just retreat behind the scenes and be a leisurely and comfortable emperor.
Listen to operas, eat delicious food, watch singing and dancing, spend time with your loved ones, and enjoy your life. If the prince can't handle something, you can help him, and leave everything he can handle to him.
Is it reasonable for the old to shoulder the responsibility of the country if the young do not contribute? You have been busy for most of your life, and you should enjoy your life when you should. What's the point of holding on to the power of gain and loss and risking your life? "
He felt that these words touched his heart. He had indeed worked hard for most of his life, but it was really meaningless. The woman that young Mu Ai liked did not like him, deceived him, and betrayed him.
He was given a bastard to raise, but he foolishly treated it as a treasure and held it in his hands. Looking back, he felt stupid.
After being emperor for so many years, he seemed to have no outstanding political achievements. The defeated northern country's invaders made a comeback and stole his proud repeating crossbow.
Fortunately, Ye Tingxiao worked hard and invented the musket, otherwise he would have been ashamed to face the ancestors of the Ouyang family after his death.
The father and son of the Ye family were loyal and dedicated to their duties, but just because they supported the bastard, they were punished and exiled to a cold and bitter border town.
Thinking of this, he wished he could tear Wei Hanyi into pieces. Once he drove Wei Hanyi out, sooner or later he would get what he wanted.
When Wei Hanyi came to Wei, he abdicated after he had dealt with everything. His son had grown up and he had people to support him. It was time for him to enjoy a peaceful life.
The emperor was used to going out of the palace, so he talked to the prince for a while. After he left, he quickly called Liu Xiaowu. The two of them changed their clothes and came to the west of the city with two shadow guards.
This time they did not go to find Du Wanwan, but came to the construction site of a dilapidated building.
As the sun sets, the construction site over there is crowded with people.
The last time they went out, they specially bought a set of cloth clothes. They looked like ordinary people, the kind with a little money at most.
The scale of the house has been revealed. After a large area was demolished, it was built in the shape of a "7", which not only connects to the street on the other side, but also extends out a lot.
If you come to the west of the city for shopping, the newly built shops will open and things will be much more lively.
The emperor looked around as he walked. It had only been a short time since he last came to the west of the city. How come this area had changed so much?
There was an old man with white hair and eyebrows sitting on the side of the road, looking after a little baby.
The emperor squatted down and said, "Old man! Does your family have a share in the house over there?"
"Yes." The old man nodded, smiling from ear to ear, "My family used to have two shabby houses, but after this renovation, we not only have a shop, but also an extra room to live in.
Doctor Du from the People's Hospital is really smart. He knew to ask for a room from the sky. Now my two sons and two grandsons can all live there.
The first floor is a shop, the second floor is for the old people like us, and the third floor is for the young people. Doctor Du has planned it for us, and we will move in once it is completed and live in the new house. "
The emperor was shocked: "Why do you trust Doctor Du so much? Aren't you afraid that she might deceive you?"
The old man shook his head like a rattle: "Fooling? Why would you fool us poor people? Doctor Du made it very clear.
The blueprints were drawn up before the house was built. Everyone in our area saw them and no one disagreed.
Our house was already shabby, but someone was willing to pay for us to renovate it, and built it so well. It doesn’t matter even if we were cheated.
The People's Medical Clinic spent a lot of money to buy materials and hire bricklayers. Have you seen those people working?
Although it was a house built for us, we were not only provided with food but also paid for our work on the construction site. The size of the house had been measured and registered.
When we receive the house, the excess amount will be registered and converted into money, allowing us to pay it off over several years."
An old lady came over and said: "It is a blessing for us, the people in the west of the city, to meet such a good doctor. I heard that those houses that have not been demolished will also have their exterior walls renovated for free, making them the same as ours."
"oh?"
The emperor stood up and looked at the shops that had not been demolished. If they were renovated, the streets in the west of the city would be connected into one, and it would be much more lively when open.
Another old woman came over. She had lost all her teeth. She was grinning and the wrinkles on her face were dancing with laughter.
"Not only that, do you see that area? It's going to be demolished, and they'll soon build something like ours. In the future, all the dilapidated buildings in the west of the city will be gone, and they'll be replaced by neat and beautiful blue brick and tile houses."
The old man with his grandson stood up, hunched over and said, "I heard from my eldest son that Doctor Du can also teach people who are willing to do business to do some small business.
We have already agreed to make tofu, a family craft. It has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is great to be able to make it in our own shop without having to carry it around to sell. "
