"What's wrong with the father-in-law's family? Why are the mansion crying and howling early in the morning?"

"Who knows, I think who died."

"It's impossible. Why didn't the mansion say he wanted to do anything frivolous, and didn't come out to buy incense and paper money?"

"I don't know, the father-in-law hasn't made a fuss for a long time."

This is probably Zhou Kui's sorrow. He has indeed not made a fuss for a long time. To be precise, he has not cried for a long time.

But now, Zhou Kui is in his house, looking desperate. He hugged his hot pot and cried, saying, "Liufu, Liufu, you can't live this day. Our life is over. Kill me and let the god take me."

Liu Fu wiped his tears from the side: "My dear, let's save a little, let's save a little."

Zhou Kui stopped crying: "Well, you're right. You can't add eggs for breakfast in the future, and you can't add them at noon."

Liu Fu nodded: "You can't add it to the evening, as the villain will take out the saved eggs and sell them."

"Yes, it's too cheap to sell. An egg costs at least one cent."

"Don't worry, lord, I won't sell it if I lose a penny."

This is very confusing. On the one hand, Zhou Kui is a huge wealthy man. He can't spend all his family business he has accumulated in his lifetime. Even without the glass factory in Xishan, he still has no worries about food and clothing.

But it's just such a person who is just a simple person who saves money and spends money, and you can't understand his thinking. Everyone has their own ideas, but Zhou Kui is extremely stubborn in eating.

They wear silk and satin, live in a luxurious mansion. They are even generous to their servants, and they use the best things.

But he is so stingy about what he eats. You can't explain it to him. Zhu Cilang once asked, grandpa, you should wear less of a brocade dress, it's enough for you to eat for a year.

Zhou Kui is not the case. Eating is food, clothing, clothing, and clothing are different. You should not be careless in your clothes, it is related to your own face. Only food must be received.

Zhu Cilang could not understand grandpa's pathological logic, so he stopped persuading him.

At this time, Zhou Kui was crying at home, even though he was reluctant to do so. In the end, Zhou Kui paid for the construction of a canal from Yuquan Mountain to the palace.

There is no way, either choose to die or choose to pay.

Of course, Zhou Kui never thought of blaming Zhu Cilang for all this. Instead, he was secretly grateful in his heart. He was grateful to Zhu Cilang and for his help.

The censors in the Censorate criticized Zhou Kui and insisted on punishing him. On the surface, there was a lot of controversy.

No one knew that the censors of the Censorate were also instructed by Zhu Cilang. In fact, all of this was caused by Zhu Cilang.

Xiao Shishi knew, so she advised Zhu Cixuan: "Brother Zhu, are we a little too much?"

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "What's the deal? My grandfather is too late to thank me."

Indeed, Zhou Kui was grateful to Zhu Cilang. My good grandson, who was under tremendous pressure and issued a special amnesty order to himself, just because he donated money to build the canal.

However, Zhou Kui cursed Luo Yangxing, who had already been in a free position, for a sudden slander. If it weren't for Luo Yangxing's stingy things, how could he have ended up in this way?

Luo Yang was unlucky, and he didn't know anything. He became the enemy of Zhou Kui, the father-in-law. He was innocent and was so unlucky.

Censors like to dig out old things, and when they bring up the old things again, Zhou Kui became the target of public criticism. So Zhou Kui invested in the construction of canals for the court, which was called atonement.

I thought that Zhou Kui, the father-in-law, made contributions to donating money, and that it was Zhou Kui's donation of silver to help the soldiers far away in Liaodong. It was this military pay that made the morale of the soldiers soar, and the Qing Dynasty's conspiracy could not succeed.

So, Zhu Cilang specially issued a special amnesty order to relieve his father-in-law Zhou Kui of his crimes.

Zhou Kui was also tactful, although his heart was so painful that he was bleeding. However, the funds for the construction of the canal were soon in place for more than one million taels. In fact, Zhou Kui didn't even pay attention to it. The shares of Xishan Glass Factory directly took out 1.5 million taels of silver notes.

With raw materials and equipment, and importantly, there is funds. The construction of the canal from Yuquan Mountain to the Forbidden City was started soon.

There is no machinery, no modern machinery. Everything can only be done by manpower. It can be built with roads and water when traveling across mountains. In some places, it is necessary to open mountains and crack stones.

Fortunately, the military battle provided a lot of gunpowder. With gunpowder, it was much easier to open the mountain. It took more than fifty miles from Yuquan Mountain to the palace.

It seems that this is a very small project, but in this era, it can be regarded as a huge project. However, the ancients had strong willpower and a spirit of hard work.

The Ming Great Wall is also a great historical feat. The Ming Great Wall is a military defense project built in the northern mountainous areas of the Ming Dynasty. It is also called the border wall. The Great Wall starts from the Yalu River in the east and ends at Jiayuguan in the west. The materials used in the Ming Great Wall are similar to the Qin Great Wall, but are different from the Han Great Wall and the Sui Great Wall.

The Great Wall built during the Ming Dynasty was enough to shock the world. Unlike the Qin Great Wall, the construction of the Ming Great Wall was more sturdy and durable.

The Ming Great Wall is also called the border wall. Because the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Five Dynasties of Bow and Arrow Society were all anti-Confucian existences, the northern people in the Ming Dynasty did not have a cavalry and archery organization with the strength of the Mobei tribe, and the role of the Great Wall was highlighted in normal times. The real value of the Ming Great Wall is not to forsake the Mobei army forever but to defend the Mobei race. Because without the Ming Great Wall, there would be no possibility of normal agricultural production and life in the entire North China Plain.

Because Ren Xuan abandoned the land, after Chenghua, Tatars were invaded frequently, Dongsheng, Kaiping, and Daning as a base, so that the fields on the nine borders were deserted, and soldiers were at a loss when facing the cavalry invasion. The border ministers of the Ming Dynasty reported that they were plundering people and animals were invincible.

In fact, the significance of the Ming Great Wall is to deal with a small group of people roaming around with a hundred people. There is a Great Wall and 20,000 beacon towers, so that normal production and life in the North China Plain can be maintained. As for the large-scale nomadic army attack of the 20,000 level of the Little Prince, the Great Wall is of course unable to withstand, but the Great Wall was not built to withstand the army, but to provide facilities for the enemy's location, because it takes a long time to open the gap in the city wall suitable for the entry of the army. The soldiers on the nine sides nearby can use the time difference to assemble.

The Ming Dynasty Liaodong resisted the Qing Dynasty, and a large part of it relied on the Great Wall. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens emerged in the northeastern region and continued to threaten the security of the border. In order to consolidate the border defense in the north, the construction of the Great Wall was almost never stopped during the Ming Dynasty's more than 200-year rule.

Even during the difficult Chongzhen period, the construction of the Great Wall was still the same.
