Chapter 112: Levee Volunteers
Mr. Zhang left Luoyang and returned to Chang'an.
Liu Yuxi originally came to ask him about the affairs of Yushitai after receiving the order to be transferred, so he also left with Master Zhang.
Li He studied hard in Changgu.
Jiao Haiqing must be busy at the foot of Ping Mountain.
Wei Renshi suddenly realized that he didn't even have someone to talk to now.
Life is really lonely as snow sometimes!
Wei Renshi did it on the embankment, and watched as the two hundred men below threw stones into the river, preparing to divert the river slightly, leaving aside a section of the riverbank so that they could repair the embankment.
"Shopkeeper Wei is leisurely and elegant." A voice came from behind Wei Renshi.
Wei Renshi looked back, but saw that it was Liang Yuxi, the shopkeeper of Zuixiao Tower, who didn't know when he came.
"Which eye do you see me, this is idle and elegant? It's clearly eating ashes. Wei Renshi said.
"Recently, I heard that there are rumors everywhere in Luoyang City, saying that Yimenglou saw that the river embankment was in disrepair, and I was afraid that once the flood hit, it would break through the river embankment and harm the people, so I paid for the people of Luoyang City to repair the river embankment, in order to repay the support and love of the people of Luoyang City for Yimenglou." Liang Yuxi said to Wei Renshi: "Now the people in Luoyang City have to boast about the righteous deeds of a dream building when they mention a dream building. Shopkeeper Wei does have the ability to turn bad things into good things. ”
"So what is Zuixiao Lou going to do?" Wei Renshi asked with a smile. He knew that Liang Yuxi's appearance here today must have his purpose.
Liang Yuxi replied: "Didn't Wei Langjun ask Zuixiaolou if he dared to follow Yimenglou that day. What I promised was dare. Tomorrow, there will be a hundred people who will come to the embankment, this is the people found by Zuixiaolou, their food and accommodation will be managed by Zuixiaolou, but they will listen to the command of the shopkeeper Wei and repair the embankment together. ”
"Okay." Wei Renshi nodded.
"Maybe the other nine will get involved." Liang Yuxi said: "They will not fail to see the benefits inside. ”
"They can only see a reputation." Wei Renshi smiled and said, "This is not bad, so that people will know that under the inspiration of the righteous act of Yimenglou and Zuixiao Lou to spontaneously build the river embankment, other people also participated. In the end, it was our two families who gained the most fame. ”
Liang Yuxi took another step forward and asked: "What Shopkeeper Wei means is that our two families have become role models, and the other eight families only participated after seeing our righteous deeds, which naturally complements the high righteousness of our two families." ”
Wei Renshi nodded, and said, "Not bad." Also, did Shopkeeper Liang see the clothes worn by the people working underneath? ”
Liang Yuxi walked to the side and looked down, and said, "It seems to be the same, what?" ”
"You go up close." Wei Renshi said.
Liang Yuxi looked down, then at Wei Renshi, gritted his teeth, picked up his clothes and rushed down to the edge of the river from the side, staggered a few steps before he stood firm, and then walked closer.
All the two hundred people who were doing the work had the same clothes on their bodies, and they were all the same in style and color, except for the difference in height, shortness, fat and thinness. And on the back of everyone's clothes, a few big characters are embroidered with white thread, saying: A dream building embankment volunteers.
Liang Yuxi lowered his head thoughtfully and thought for a while, then turned around and climbed the embankment with difficulty.
Liang Yuxi, who was covered in dust, looked a little embarrassed, but his eyes were bright, and he walked to Wei Renshi's side and said, "I will also go to make a hundred sets of clothes of the same style and color, and embroider the drunken tower embankment volunteers in the back!" ”
Wei Renshi smiled: "The son can be taught!" ”
Liang Yuxi's eyebrows twitched a few times, and he resisted the urge to kick the young man in front of him off the river embankment, and said, "Thank you for the reminder." ”
"To outsiders, this is a clear sign, and as soon as you see this sign, the rumors in the city about the righteous deeds of Yimenglou will be confirmed. And everyone wears it this way, which also gives people a sense of uniformity, which can actually increase people's trust and goodwill towards this group, which is very important. Wei Renshi said: "For these people who work, it can increase their unity." And the title of volunteer can give them a positive identity, which can increase their enthusiasm and make them gradually feel that they are not being punished, but doing good deeds for the people. This will naturally make them work harder. ”
Liang Yuxi actually didn't understand what came out of Wei Renshi's mouth. But you can probably guess what that means.
It is to make outsiders more convinced of the righteous act of Yimenglou to repair the river embankment, so that the righteous act of Yimenglou is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, easier to be discovered, and also deepens people's impression of Yimenglou's righteous act of repairing the river embankment. For those who work, give them a better name, praise them, and make them more willing to work hard.
Liang Yuxi told Wei Renshi what he thought.
Wei Renshi showed a very approving smile, and said to him: "The son is really very teachable!" ”
Liang Yuxi's face darkened, he raised his hand and slapped him on the mouth, turned around and left.
Seeing that he had succeeded in leaving Liang Yuxi angrily, Wei Ren grinned happily. It was one of the few days of fun.
Not long after Liang Yuxi left, Wei Renshi didn't have time to watch the cloud above his head drift away, and he found himself covered in a shadow.
"Meet Lang Jun." Sun Peng saluted and said, "The messenger from the river embankment from Chang'an City has already arrived in a dream building. ”
"Okay, I'll go back when the clouds drift away." Wei Renshi raised his head again.
Sun Peng stepped back and stood next to him and waited quietly.
A rare moment of solitude.
Wei Renshi felt pity in his heart, stood up, walked down the embankment, and got into the carriage.
The person who made the embankment was a subordinate official of the Metropolitan Water Supervision and River Drainage Department, and his grade was not high, only under the eighth grade, he was in charge of the construction of the embankment weir, the dredging of the ditch and the fishing and fishing.
Although the grade is not high, this is a professional hydraulic engineer.
For technicians, Wei Renshi has never been slack. Especially in this era, no one understands the truth that science and technology are the primary productive forces better than him. And these primary productive forces are in the hands of these people.
In Yimenglou, even though the river embankment confessed all the way to the house, he was extremely hungry, and he swallowed saliva in front of a table of delicious dishes, and he didn't move his chopsticks before Wei Renshi arrived.
This is the person sent by Master Zhang to help, and it is also the person who is very likely to become the next baron of the empire in Master Zhang's mouth. So he didn't dare to make a mistake lightly.
"I've kept the confessor waiting." The young man Lang Jun who came in with the voice was the person who was as wise as a demon in Mr. Zhang's mouth.
The embankment refreshed his spirits and stood up.
