Chapter 353: Poverty
At the same time, the Qilin Palace.
Fusu and hundreds of officials gathered in the Qilin Hall to wait for the results of the canal bidding.
Fusu was still a little unhappy about Li Yang's move of the location of the bidding conference to outside Xianyang City, so that now he couldn't know the progress of the bidding conference at the first time, so he could only wait in the palace.
Of course, Fusu is still looking forward to the results of the bidding.
First, he wanted to see what Li Yang would do, so that the bid price of the canal project would not be higher than the bid price of the Great Wall project.
The second is that this guy is idle and has nothing to do, and he feels that Li Yang's gambling agreement with Baiguan is not exciting enough, so he actually made his own village, and the bid price of the canal project will not be higher than the bid price of the Great Wall project.
Originally, Baiguan didn't want to gamble with him, after all, it was not interesting to win the eldest son's money.
But unfortunately, this guy raised the odds to one to two, so hundreds of officials bet one after another.
Let's put it this way, if Li Yang didn't succeed in bidding for the canal this time lower than the bidding for the Great Wall project, Fusu would have to lose so much that he would have to sell his prince's mansion.
He thought about it, if he really lost money, he would move to Li Yang's mansion to live temporarily.
I have to say that this guy gambles big, and he doesn't want to die.
However, he firmly believed in his heart that Li Yang could succeed. Because no matter what is difficult in the world, Li Yang can solve it unexpectedly.
Waiting is boring.
Time passed minute by minute, and it was not until it was close to noon that the head of the household department Shangshu Ji Kai hurried back from outside the city.
As soon as Ji Kai entered the Qilin Palace, everyone looked at him and asked, "Ji Shangshu, what is the result of the bidding?" ”
Being looked at by everyone, Ji Kai was still a little uncomfortable, thinking to himself that these guys wanted to know the result so much?
He didn't answer the hundred officials directly, but walked directly to the front of the hall, saluted Fusu, and before he could speak, Fusu also hurriedly asked: "Ji Kai, the canal bidding is over?" ”
"Back to the eldest son, the bidding for the canal project has ended, and the king of the town sent his ministers to come back first to present to the eldest son." Ji Kai nodded.
Fusu nodded, so he hurriedly asked, "What is the result?" ”
Everyone also looked at him directly.
Ji Kai replied: "The bidding for the canal project is progressing very smoothly, and the final bid price of this project is less than ninety percent of the Great Wall project. ”
"Less than ninety percent of the Great Wall project?"
When Fusu heard this, he was overjoyed: "So...... Taifu succeeded! ”
Ji Kai nodded: "Exactly." ”
"Wowhaha!" Fusu burst out laughing.
And the hundred officials in the hall were dumbfounded.
But ninety percent of the Great Wall project? This...... How is this possible!
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, with an expression of disbelief that is killed.
In the end, Dong Peng hurriedly asked: "Ji Shangshu, are you talking about the bid price of the first phase of the canal?" ”
Everyone nodded, thinking, yes, it must be the bid price of the first phase of the project.
However, Ji Kai shook his head: "Dr. Dong is wrong, the total bid price of the third phase of the project is less than ninety percent of the Great Wall project. ”
"What!"
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
Less than ninety percent of the Great Wall project? Is this kidding us?
A group of hundreds of officials were afraid that something was wrong, so they asked one after another: "Ji Shangshu, are you sure you didn't lie to us?" ”
"Liar? The canal project is a major national political event, how dare Ji play child's play, even if he dares to deceive you, but how dare he deceive the eldest son? Ji Kai rolled his eyes, then presented a recital, and said: "This is the bidding price of each bid section of the canal project, as well as the total total price." ”
"Quick, show it to Lone!"
Fusu hurriedly asked Ji Kai to present it to him, opened it and took a look, so he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, because the price listed above was indeed less than the nine cities of the Great Wall project.
Seeing this, Fu Suna smiled, and hurriedly handed out the fold: "Come, Doctor Dong, wait and take a look, haha." ”
Dong Fei hurriedly stepped forward to take the fold, and then his eyes looked at the fold.
I saw that the bidding results of the canal project were clearly written in this recital.
It is divided into the bid price of each bid and the corresponding winning bidder. Then, finally, the bidding price of these various bidding sections was summarized to obtain the final bidding price of the canal general project, and this final bidding price was indeed less than ninety percent of the Great Wall project.
Seeing this, Dong Peng was completely stunned.
The other ministers, seeing that he was stunned, hurriedly snatched the folds from his hand and looked at them, and after reading them one by one, the next moment, all the ministers' eyes widened......
Crazy?
Are all those businessmen crazy? How could they be willing to bid for these works at such a low price? Don't...... Don't they want to make money?
Such a low price, in fact, don't say that there is no money to make, and one is not good, it is estimated that you will have to lose money.
The current businessman...... Are you willing to do the project at a loss?
This incident was so unbelievable that everyone's expressions froze, and they felt a little confused.
What's going on? What's going on here? Don't...... Are all the people in this world crazy?
Li Yang is crazy, and the businessman is also crazy?
All of a sudden, it all felt like an illusion, not real at all.
Of course, more importantly, the hundred officials thought that they had made a bet with Fusu just now, which made the hundred officials feel even more cold in their hearts.
Especially for many people, for the odds of one to two, the boss under this bet, such as Dong Fei, placed a bet of 100 gold.
What is the concept of 100 gold?
Ordinary people work for a year, but it is only hardware.
This hundred gold should be the wages that an ordinary person can earn for 20 years.
Thinking of this, Dong Peng suddenly had a feeling of wanting to cry.
One hundred gold, just like that, the gamble is gone?
In particular, when he thought that he would have to face the tigress at home when he went back, he felt that this time he was really going to die......
"Hey, Dr. Dong, why are your eyes still red?" At this time, Ji Kai asked suspiciously.
Dong Peng wiped a handful of tears, and Chu Chu shook his head pitifully: "It's nothing, I just suddenly feel ...... Life is so hard! ”
When the officials heard this, they couldn't help but turn red, they were all fallen people at the end of the world!
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that it was in this Qilin Hall at this time, everyone might have to hug their heads and cry, gambling, which is really harmful.
However, today's miserable ending is a foregone conclusion, but you have to lose convincingly, right?
How did Li Yang do it, everyone still wants to know.
So, everyone asked: "Ji Shangshu, what is going on?" How could a businessman be willing to bid for these works at such a low price? Don't tell us, it was the king of Zhenguo who forced them to agree with a knife! ”
Fusu was also curious about this, and said, "Yes, Ji Kai, tell Gu quickly." ”
Ji Kai glanced at the hundred officials and thought, these guys really dare to think about it, use a knife? Is Zhen Guojun such a person?
So he said: "The reason why the canal project can be tendered at such a low price is that Zhen Guojun thought of a way that can greatly reduce labor costs and speed up the efficiency of the project." ”
"Oh? How? Fusu hurriedly asked.
Ji Kai said: "It's explosives!" ”
"Dynamite?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "Is it the gunpowder bag that was invented before the government?" ”
Ji Kai nodded: "That's right, it's that gunpowder pack, also known as the explosives pack." ”
Everyone was even more stunned, and said, "Isn't the gunpowder bag used to kill the enemy on the battlefield?" How to reduce labor costs in canal engineering? ”
Ji Kai snorted coldly: "This is where I am not as smart as Zhenguojun." The power of this thing can be truly terrifying, not only can it kill enemies on the battlefield, but it can also crack mountains and rocks. Today, Zhen Guojun was outside the city, and in front of the merchants, he used explosives bags to directly blow up a stone mountain. A pack of explosives can be worth thousands of laborers, not to mention this efficiency, it only takes a moment to open the mountain and crack the rocks, it is like divine help! ”
Everyone suddenly realized.
understood that Li Yang was just using the gunpowder bag, so he easily greatly reduced the bidding price of the canal project, and everyone was speechless.
One by one, their faces were full of bitterness, and they sighed that Li Yang, a ghost, had hurt them.
Next, everyone will be poor......
