I Don’t Want To Be the Emperor

Chapter 41 Ocean View Room

After Mingyue made the bed, she took out the mugwort and lit the smoke. The room was filled with smoke for a while, just as Xie Zan appeared at the door and invited Lin Yi to the banquet.

Two lame tables were put together in the main hall, with four plates of vegetables, two large clay pots, and a jug of wine on them.

Lin Yi got closer to the clay pot and saw that it was stewed chicken and pork ribs.

Xie Zan said, "Your Majesty, in a remote place, there is really nothing to entertain. I hope you will be kind to me."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Everyone, please take a seat. You are not an outsider. I have just arrived, and I will rely on you in the future."

 “Your Majesty, you’re welcome.”

Cao Heng, the former Guanglu doctor with a long beard, picked up the wine pot and filled it for Lin Yi first. "This wine is made by Bian Jing. Although it is not as good as Ducheng Yujiang, it is still good. Your Majesty, you can give it a try." "

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Oh, Mr. Bian also knows how to make wine?"

 His eyes could not help but look at the former Minister of Industry who had presided over the construction of the capital palace and the construction of Emperor Yongguang's mausoleum.

This old gentleman is also quite unlucky, just because he was one of the princes when Emperor Yongguang was in power, so he was naturally disliked by Emperor Delong.

As soon as Emperor Yongguang's mausoleum was built, the Minister of Industry was found by Emperor Delong to be a "greedy" junior officer and exiled to the army.

“Your Majesty, Cao Min’s grandfather is a winemaker. Cao Min has learned a little bit since he was a child, but he didn’t expect that he would be able to use it when he is old.”

Bian Jing’s teeth were the same as Wang Qingbang’s. He had very few teeth left and his speech was leaky and unclear. Lin Yi found it difficult to listen.

Lin Yi said, "Mr. Bian does not need to be so humble. Since I currently have no place to live, I naturally want to build one. There are still many places to bother Mr. Bian."

  Naturally, Lin Yi had an idea of ​​the other party.

There is no problem for someone to build a palace, let alone a palace for him.

Bian Jing cupped his hands and said, "As long as you and the prince can use it, the common people will do it without hesitation."

Lin Yi nodded with satisfaction, then raised his glass and said, "I would like to toast you all."

 After speaking, drink it all in one gulp.

 He took a bite of the dish and as soon as his teeth closed, he felt something was wrong and started to clenched his teeth.

But looking at a few old men eating with great joy, could it be that I was unlucky and only picked up a green vegetable with just enough grit?

After spitting out the green vegetables in his teeth from his mouth, he picked up another one without giving up. As soon as he entered his mouth, it was choked again.

Xie Zan put down his chopsticks and said, "Your Majesty, this is sea salt. Your Majesty is used to it after eating it."

"This is not a habit. This is asking for trouble. I will never get used to it in my life."

Lin Yi regretted a little. He should have known better than to stop Mingyue and Zixia from cooking. They all brought fine salt with them.

 This kind of sea salt is not afraid of short life, but it is also afraid of stones!

Xie Zan said, “Baiyun City is remote and relatively poor, so few merchants come here, and even if they do come, there is basically no fine salt.

Baiyun City produces sea salt, and salt lords often come to buy salt for sale. "

Lin Yi smiled and said nothing.

 He is an online article author after all, and he reads most online articles.

 In the online travel book, there are not only a thousand but also five hundred people who teach how to make fine salt, make wine, make glass, gunpowder, soap, and drill wood to make fire!

 Mononitrate, disulfide, and charcoal!

Must be thoroughly cooked!

I really couldn’t eat the vegetables, but fortunately I still had enough wine, so I drank two more glasses.

 Then I ate a bowl of rice. The salt grains in the soup in the earthenware pot were precipitated. I scooped a little soup from it, sandwiched two pieces of chicken, and ate a little.

 I was tired after a whole day and was so sleepy that I had no time to chat with the old men anymore, so I fell asleep after entering the house.

 Slept soundly throughout the night.

 “Sleep so soundly.”

Lin Yi yawned, stretched, looked at the sun hanging high at the door, and asked, "What time is it?"

Mingyue handed over the towel and said, "Your Majesty, it has just passed."

After Lin Yi wiped his face and drank, he took the teacup naturally and said calmly, "Did you sleep for so long?"

Mingyue nodded, and then said, "Your Majesty, do you want to eat now?"

"It's not the capital now, so don't make so many rules," Lin Yi sighed, "This is obviously eating bran-throated vegetables."

“They are all slaves.”

 “It has nothing to do with you, it’s you who have suffered along with me.”

Lin Yi rolled his eyes at her and said, "I was too sleepy last night and didn't have time to care about other things. Where did Shen Chu and the others sleep?"

Zixia smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is an abandoned hay warehouse behind. Commander Shen and the others are sleeping on the haystacks there."

 “Your Majesty.”

　　When Cao Cao arrived, Shen Chu suddenly appeared at the door.

“You guys have something to eat, and then invite Mr. Xie over, and let’s go racing and circling the land.”

He didn't want to delay the construction of the mansion for a day.

 The earlier you live, the earlier you enjoy.

Shen Chuying turned around and walked away.

 Lunch was made by Mingyue, and Lin Yi wolfed down a lot of it.

 After eating a good meal, the sun is poisonous.

Even the locals were hiding in their houses and unwilling to go out, but Lin Yi rode a donkey with Hong Ying, Xie Zan and other old men to choose a site for the palace.

 “I want to build it by the sea.”

In my last life, I lived to be in my thirties and had never seen the sea, so I yearned for it very much.

 After being reborn, I decided to build a sea-view house no matter what in this life!

 Live the poetic life in your dreams.

 Complete his long-cherished wish that he had not completed in his previous life!

 Even if it’s a typhoon, he recognizes it!

 “No, my lord!”

Xie Zan said hurriedly, "This place is still a hundred miles away from the coast. It will take four or five days to get there."

The people living there are fishermen, salt owl, and even pirates often appear.

Even if the prince wanted to build a mansion there, he might not even be able to find the manpower. "

 “That’s it”

Lin Yi was stunned.

 He is not the kind of person who would go to a dead end.

 Since it can’t be done now, let’s find a way later.

 Under Liège, I walked along the river bank for more than three hours. There were weeds all the way, which made walking difficult for the donkey's feet.

The grass in front of me got deeper and deeper as we walked, growing taller than a person, and the bottom was almost entirely filled with mud and swamps.

Whether a person or an animal falls in, there is basically no need to think about exposing his head, as he will definitely die.

 Everyone had to go back.

Finally Lin Yi stopped on a tributary of the Xijiang River.

Pointing to a large flat, weed-covered tunnel in front of him, he said, "This is where my decision has been made."

It is large in area, has a broad view, is close to water sources, and there are no households or fields around, so even demolition costs are saved.

 “Your Majesty is wise!”

Bian Jing smiled and said, "This place has mountains on its back and water on its side. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a geomantic treasure."

Lin Yi said, "Then this matter is all your fault. As for the money, don't worry, I won't be short of it. Just do it according to your heart."

 “The common people will definitely live up to the prince’s trust!”

Bian Jing’s gums were exposed when he smiled.

 Back at the Capital Commander's Office, Lin Yi personally drew an ideal plan with charcoal.

He doesn't care about the mansion, but supporting buildings such as commercial streets, schools, orphanages, etc. must be built around it.

 “Your Majesty, you are following the city’s rules”

Bian Jing was startled.

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "It's not a city. I don't want to build high walls. You build the mansion first and then we'll talk about the rest later. But you have to save the space."

 No one believed it. There was not even a single school in this state!

 If the conditions are good, a private school will be set up, and the seven or eight children in it will all be related to each other.

Lin Yi took a look curiously. The old gentleman couldn't even speak Mandarin accurately, and the teaching effect was limited to the child being able to read a few words.

However, the day after Lin Yi’s recruitment notice for building a mansion was posted, a group of people gathered around to look at it, but still few people could read all the words.

 In the end, Xie Zan read the notice and then explained it in local dialect, so that everyone understood what it meant.

Lin Yi looked at those ignorant children, and his heart suddenly softened.

 The abandoned livestock shed of the Capital Command and Envoy Department was renovated and used as a school.

 In this way, Sanhe’s first private school was established.

 Xie Zan, this former great talent, serves as a tutor.

 Place it in a prosperous place, and if you don’t have three thousand taels a year, you can ask him to be a teacher without even thinking about it.

The only thing I didn't expect was that after waiting for three days, apart from the dozen or so orphans I brought over who were of school age, only two or three kittens came to sign up.

Xie Zan smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, Sanhe is poor. Children have to help with work when they are five or six years old."

 “Free tuition and three meals included.”

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and unleashed his ultimate move.

 Registration was really enthusiastic.

More than a hundred children were recruited in half a day, and many of them could not walk.

 There were cries everywhere.

 If you have to take care of three meals a day, you would be a fool not to send your children.

 As a half-grown man, I live in poverty and it is not worthwhile to keep my children at home.

There is no reason why a fool from Ankang City would not be happy to help them raise their children.

Lin Yi was thinking about how to recover the interest from these people as soon as possible.

 He is the vassal king.

　　Since the moment he was born, he has had the attribute of “exploitation”.
