No matter what era it was, as long as it was really useful and beneficial to the people's livelihood, it had to be built even if it cost more. Because no matter how much it cost, it could be earned back in the end in other ways.
For example, the Tang Dynasty had built a lot of railways and bridges over the years. Although the investment was huge, because there were charges to cross the bridges and take the cars, the money invested could be recovered. Moreover, it would not take a long time to recover the cost.
Even if the cost could not be recovered, the existence of these infrastructure played a very important role in prospering the trade of the Tang Empire and increasing the wealth of the people of the Tang Dynasty. All in all, it was worth it.
Du Fu naturally understood this. He just said that the cost was not cheap. He did not have the slightest objection or dissatisfaction. He just sighed that it would cost a lot of money.
"What Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon said is right. I have also been to Pingkang Square. It is really crowded. Two-thirds of the road is occupied by vehicles. It is very difficult for vehicles to pass. If this underground parking garage can be built, it will certainly greatly alleviate this problem."
Du Fu saw that Li Yu was anxious to explain and was worried that he would misunderstand, so he quickly said affirmatively.
Hearing this, Li Yu nodded with a satisfied expression. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Since Chief Editor Du has understood my thoughts, it can't be better. Such a thing that benefits the country and the people should be in the headlines, right?"
After saying that, he looked at Du Fu. He believed that Du Fu would give him face.
Du Fu had already thought about putting this news in the headlines of the official magazine. Hearing this, he smiled and said softly, "The project that Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon is in charge of is a good project that benefits the country and the people. Of course, it should be in the headlines. I will write it myself and can finish it in less than an hour. If Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon is not assured, you can rest in the side room for a while. When I finish the draft, I will let Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon have a look. If Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon thinks there is no problem, then the headline tomorrow will be about this underground parking garage."
Li Yu was naturally overjoyed. He nodded happily and said, "Good, very good. Chief Editor Du, hurry up! I am not in a hurry. I can wait as long as you want. Hahaha! "
After he finished speaking, he walked out of Du Fu's office with a smile and prepared to head to the side room to rest. Although Li Yu was very confident in Du Fu's writing skills, this was his first time taking on such a big responsibility. He couldn't afford to make any mistakes. Even if it was public news, every word had to be carefully considered.
He had to introduce every advantage of this project and magnify the huge role it would play after the project was completed. After reading it, people would feel that this project was very perfect. In addition, he had to show the process of his own hard work to promote the project and his determination to do his best to complete the project, so as to expand Li Yu's influence.
It was precisely because he had to consider so many details and write a real, delicate, and touching story. Therefore, Li Yu did not write anything himself. He knew that his writing skills were limited and he was afraid that he could not write well. Therefore, he gave this task to Du Fu. He felt that the effect of Du Fu's writing would definitely be better than his own writing. However, he was a little worried that Du Fu would miss something. Therefore, after writing, he had to check it first. After confirming that it was really perfect, he allowed the news to be published in the Tang dynasty newspaper.
"Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon."
An editor who was in charge of collecting literature hurried back and happened to meet Li Yu. Because he recognized him, he respectfully saluted.
"Yes."
Li Yu was in a good mood today, so he was not arrogant at all. Even if it was a lowly editor, he could smile and nod in a friendly way, looking very approachable.
Seeing that Li Yu was in a good mood and left after responding, the editor hurriedly ran in and reported loudly, "Chief Editor, there's another big news."
Du Fu was thinking about how to write the news about the underground parking lot. When he saw his subordinate running in in a hurry, he showed a trace of dissatisfaction and said, "What's the big news? Why are you so flustered?"
"Idiot Liu, Idiot Liu, it's Idiot Liu from the Censor's Mansion. Chief Editor just met him a few days ago."
The editor hurriedly said.
"Idiot Liu."
Du Fu first nodded gently and said the name calmly. Then, he suddenly froze. His pupils suddenly dilated. He looked at his subordinate and said in a panic, "Idiot Liu, Idiot Liu is in trouble. What happened?"
After saying that, she stood up, her little heart thumping wildly.
"Chief Editor Du, Idiot Liu is dead. He jumped into a well."
The editor opened his mouth and said.
Du Fu suddenly felt like he was struck by lightning. He was so frightened that he sat down on the chair. It took him a long time to calm down. His expression was quite sad, and there was even a trace of regret and annoyance.
"Is it confirmed? He's really dead. "
Du Fu panted heavily, looking like he could not believe it.
"Chief Editor Du, of course, this is not wrong. I went to see it myself. He really jumped into a well and drowned. When he was fished out, I also saw it. It was indeed Idiot Liu we met a few days ago. I can't remember wrongly."
The editor said truthfully.
Du Fu got a positive answer and suddenly felt very complicated. He regretted writing that headline. If it were not for this headline, Idiot Liu would not have returned to the Censor's Mansion. If Idiot Liu did not return, he might not have lost his life. Thinking of this, Du Fu felt that Idiot Liu's death was related to himself. It was his own wrong behavior that caused the death of the innocent Idiot Liu. He was guilty. Thinking of this, Du Fu felt very guilty.
"Idiot Liu died just like that. It's all my fault! If it were not for the article I wrote, Idiot Liu would not have returned. If he did not return, he would not have died. It was me who caused Idiot Liu's death! "
Du Fu said in pain in front of his subordinates. Tears were about to flow out of his eyes.
The editor did not have the same state of mind as Du Fu. He quickly tried to persuade him. "Chief Editor Du, what are you saying? Idiot Liu jumped into the well himself. What does it have to do with Chief Editor Du? Even if he did not return, he might have jumped into another well somewhere else. Maybe he even jumped into a river?"
Du Fu shook his head and said with a pained expression, "Of course, I understand that. But I just feel very uneasy! After all, this is a fresh human life. A few days ago, he was still talking to me in front of me. Now, he's gone just like that. Sigh! "
The editor was also moved. He frowned and said, "Isn't that so? Idiot Liu doesn't look like someone who would take things too hard! Why would he jump into a well? Such a big guy. What would he take things too hard? "
"That's right! Idiot Liu is such a good person. Why would he jump into a well? There must be a reason behind this. "
After blaming himself for a while, Du Fu gradually calmed down and began to think about the reason why Idiot Liu jumped into the well.
"Chief Editor Du, could it be that Idiot Liu did not jump into the well himself, but was pushed into the well by someone?"
The editor felt that there was something fishy about this matter and said casually.
Du Fu naturally understood what his subordinate meant. He said softly, "What you mean is that Imperial Censor Yang harbors a grudge and sent someone to push Idiot Liu into the well? No, that's definitely not right. It can't be Imperial Censor Yang. If he wanted to kill Idiot Liu, he would definitely not pollute his own well. Bringing him to a secluded place outside the city would definitely be more suitable than pushing him into the well. But if it wasn't Imperial Censor Yang, then who could it be? Could it be that someone wants to frame him? "
The more he thought about it, the more Du Fu felt a chill run down his spine. There was a deep chill all over his body. His subordinate beside him was also shocked.
"Chief Editor Du, no matter how Idiot Liu died, Idiot Liu is no longer here. What we need to consider now is what to do about this matter. Should we continue reporting?"
The editor asked.
Du Fu thought for a moment and asked, "What did the people in the Imperial Censor's Residence say? Did they find anything unusual about Idiot Liu?"
"There wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Even the people in the residence did not dare to get close to him. As such, his mood was slightly depressed. Nothing else really happened."
The editor said.
Du Fu nodded lightly and said softly, "I still need to think about this matter carefully. You can go and do other things first!"
After that, Du Fu was no longer in the mood to write about the underground parking lot for Li Yu. He directly walked out of the office and stood in the yard, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds above his head. His expression was very absent-minded, and he muttered Idiot Liu's name from time to time.
At this moment, Li Yu was resting in the room next door. He was lying in a chair and drinking tea. His expression was quite relaxed. How could he not be happy when he was about to show his face? He had already told Du Fu to emphasize that this project was proposed by Li Yu of Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon and that it was Li Yu and a group of people who started working on it. This was to better deepen the readers' impression of Li Yu's name and thus increase his popularity.
At the thought that many people of the Tang dynasty would admire him in the future, Li Yu was particularly proud. He squinted his eyes and looked out of the window to enjoy the scenery, only to find a familiar figure looking up at the sky with his back to him.
"Du Fu? He finished writing the article so quickly. That's way too fast! He deserves to be Chief Editor Du! His efficiency in writing articles is really high! "
Li Yu stood up and walked out with great satisfaction. He walked until he was behind Du Fu, but found that Du Fu did not notice that there was someone behind him. He suddenly felt a little dissatisfied.
"Chief Editor Du, why are you in a daze here? You finished so quickly."
Li Yu asked lightly.
Du Fu was still standing and looking up at the sky, completely ignoring Li Yu. This irritated Li Yu, who felt that his position was being looked down upon.
"Du Fu, what are you doing?"
Li Yu raised his voice and shouted loudly.
Du Fu's body trembled violently, and he came to his senses in shock. He looked at Li Yu behind him and said, "Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon, I was absent-minded just now, absent-minded."
"What's the matter? Chief Editor Du, what happened?"
Li Yu was not a fool. He had been standing behind Du Fu all this time, and all he saw was Du Fu's back. At this moment, after seeing Du Fu's complexion and expression, he immediately understood that Du Fu must have encountered something. Otherwise, it would be impossible for his complexion to suddenly change. When he was chatting with Du Fu just now, although Du Fu's complexion was not very good, there were still traces of blood on his face. At this moment, Du Fu's complexion was somewhat pale, and his originally amiable face looked rather sad. There was even a trace of regret and helplessness. Li Yu immediately felt that something must have happened.
"Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon, please forgive me. I'm afraid that I can't write an article for Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon today. I can only postpone it for a few days."
Du Fu bowed with an apologetic expression.
Since Du Fu had such an expression, Li Yu naturally would not blame him. However, if he did not know the reason, he would naturally not be satisfied.
"The article is not a problem. Chief Editor Du, what has happened? Can you tell me? Perhaps I can help."
Li Yu's tone was much gentler, and he asked with a face full of concern.
"I don't dare to hide it from Gwangbyeong Of Gojoseon. Idiot Liu jumped into the well, he jumped into the well. It's all my fault!"
Du Fu's face was full of self-blame, and his tone was also somewhat agitated.
"Idiot Liu? What a familiar name! "
Li Yu did not recall who it was at first, but after thinking for a moment, he remembered that it was a servant of the Imperial Censor's Residence, who had been the talk of the town recently.
"He jumped into the well and died? How could that be? He's just a small character. What could he have done to himself? Could it be that there's something else? "
Li Yu said with a frown. Unlike Du Fu, he did not feel sad. After all, Idiot Liu was just an ordinary person who was neither related nor related to him. They had never even interacted before. So many people died every day in the world, and many people committed suicide. If any ordinary person jumped into the well, Li Yu would be sad to death. After all, not everyone was so kind. The reason why Du Fu was so sad was because this matter had something to do with him. If this person had nothing to do with Du Fu, he probably would not be so sad and emotional.
In front of Li Yu, Du Fu did not dare to speak carelessly, nor did he dare to make any guesses. He only blamed himself for his mistake and pushed the responsibility of Idiot Liu's suicide to himself.
Although Li Yu had various guesses, he would not speak carelessly in front of Du Fu. He was a person of status. Naturally, he could not speak carelessly in front of Du Fu. Without evidence, he could not speak carelessly. Otherwise, he would lose his status. In that case, what was the difference between him and an ordinary person who gossiped?
"It's a pity that a living person jumped into the well. However, Chief Editor Du, you don't have to blame yourself too much. You didn't mean to harm others. Idiot Liu's matter has nothing to do with you. Don't blame yourself anymore. As for the manuscript, Chief Editor Du, take a good rest for a few days and finish it in two days."
Li Yu said very considerately.
