"Oh? But I don't know what to do with the grass people? Wei Renshi asked again.

Governor Shi sighed and said: "Actually, as early as a few years ago, the embankment near Luoyang City in Luoshui was already old and in urgent need of repair. The state government has been levying forced labor, and it has sent traitors and criminals to it, but it can only be slightly repaired. Up to now, the embankment outside Luoyang City has been dilapidated. Luoyang City is in the Yang of Luoshui, if Luoshui has always been like this, it will be fine. But once Luoshui floods, it is bound to break the river embankment and be involved in Luoyang City. At that time, not to mention that the people in our state capital are not guaranteed, just the people in Luoyang City will not know how much to lose, and this Luoyang City will no longer be prosperous. ”

"The grass people understand, what Changshi means, let Yimenglou do the repair of the river embankment?" After Wei Renshi listened, he nodded and asked.

"What Shopkeeper Wei said is not bad." Governor Luo Shi nodded and said: "This should be the matter of the state capital, but the state capital really can't come up with money right now." But I didn't dare to delay, so I could only ask Shopkeeper Wei for help. Please don't refuse. ”

"This ......" Wei Renshi deliberately hesitated, but secretly observed Governor Luo's reaction.

Seeing Wei Renshi's hesitation, Governor Luo Governor Shi Pi looked at Wei Renshi with a smile and said, "Shopkeeper Wei, the business in Luoyang City is actually not very easy to do, you have to think about it carefully." ”

There is already a very obvious threat to this statement. The meaning in it is obvious, that is, if Wei Renshi does not agree, he will not be able to do business in Luoyang City in the future.

Seeing that Wei Renshi was still silent, Governor Luo Shi said again: "Shopkeeper Wei, since Yimenglou has become the head of the meeting, it should be used as an example. If the capital of the association does not support the state government to do things for the people, then the other vendors will naturally not. Shopkeeper Wei, think about it carefully. ”

"This ...... Long history Rongyu, a dream building is a restaurant, if you pay money, you can also take out some, but this is to repair the river embankment, not only to ask for money, but also to have people. There's no place to get so many people in Yimenglou! ”

"This shopkeeper Wei can rest assured, and the manpower state capital can provide it to the shopkeeper Wei. However, with the power of the state government now, it can only provide personal hands. Governor Luo said, "How? Has Shopkeeper Wei thought it through? When Shopkeeper Wei first came to Luozhou, did he want to be unstable on his heels? Doing such a good deed not only helped the state government, but also won favors in the state capital, helped the people solve problems, and also spread a good reputation. But on the other hand, it's different. ”

Do you just have a good reputation, and then go bankrupt?

Wei Ren sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just pretended to hesitate for a while, first reluctantly, after listening to Changshi's threat, he showed a trace of fear, and finally flashed a trace of determination, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay!" The grass people must share the burden for the state government and benefit the people. As long as the state government provides the grass people with manpower, the grass people receive the work of repairing the river embankment! ”

"Hahahaha, shopkeeper Wei is happy! This official is a refreshing person who likes the shopkeeper Wei. In the future, the official and the shopkeeper Wei can have more contact. Changshi smiled: "In this case, Shopkeeper Wei must do a good job in this matter." The state government can provide manpower, but after sending the manpower over, the state government can't do anything, and the Wei shopkeeper can use it casually. ”

Good! Use it casually! Wei Ren was happy in his heart, but he pretended to be difficult on his face, and said: "Changshi, it is not easy to renovate the river embankment, and the grass people's Yimenglou took over this matter, in order to repair the river embankment smoothly, but I don't know if I can give the grass people some convenience?" ”

"Oh? What convenience does Shopkeeper Wei want? Governor Luo Shi frowned slightly and asked. The voice seemed to be a little unswerving.

"Don't get me wrong, where do the grass people dare to ask the state capital for convenience! The grass people are talking about the river embankment. Wei Renshi said: "If the grass people want to build some of their own things on the river embankment, such as pavilions, attics, or build a few wine shops on them, please ask Changshi for permission." ”

"Build a liquor store on the river embankment?" As if he had heard a joke, Changshi showed a funny look and said, "I have only seen some pavilions on the river embankment, but I have never seen a wine shop. Hehe, okay, just let it go. ”

"Thank you Changshi!" Wei Ren bowed and said, "That being the case, let the grass people go back and prepare." ”

"It's okay to prepare, but it has to start within a month." Changshi said.

"Yes." Wei Renshi saluted again: "The grass people have retired." ”

"Go ahead, don't let me down." Governor Luo nodded and said.

After Wei Renshi turned around, a smile appeared on his face.

Hehe, if you want to build a river embankment to drag down a dream building, it is inevitably too simple.

This time, I want fame and fortune!

There is also free labor that can be used for free without paying for food, housing, and even building your own things on the embankment.

It is completely possible to design and develop this section of the river embankment outside the city and build it into a park and market, or a park and a snack street and other modes of play places!

Luoyang City is prosperous, and there is never a shortage of rich and noble people. As long as the building is fun enough, there is no worry that no one will come.

Moreover, if there are a lot of conscripts sent by the state government, you can find a way to use them elsewhere. Although the law prohibits the use of forced labor for private purposes, there is still room for use as long as the name is appropriate.

There are too many places where you can take advantage of loopholes to benefit yourself.

Moreover, as long as public opinion is in place, it is completely possible to use the renovation of the river embankment to gain a great reputation for Yimenglou.

How important a good reputation is to the establishment of a brand, no one in this era understands better than Wei Renshi.

In the future, so many large enterprises donated all kinds of donations and donations to do charity and public welfare, what is the purpose?

It's not a fame yet.

A good reputation can be translated into great benefits and create great value. The value will be much higher than the cost of creating a good reputation.

Naturally, the premise is that you have sufficient resources to support the completion of the embankment repair, put it into use, and generate benefits.

It seems that it is time to prepare for a large-scale push of the liquor market.

Back at Yimenglou, Wei Renshi called Sun Peng and told Sun Peng about the renovation of the river embankment. Sun Peng was naturally shocked after hearing this, after all, the cost of repairing the river embankment is huge, even if the manpower is sent by the state government, no money, but the food and accommodation of so many people is also a huge expense. Not to mention the repair of the embankment itself.

"Don't panic, the liquor business in Luoyang City is enough for us to support for a while. There will be new payouts after that. Wei Renshi said to Sun Peng: "However, you have to find a lot of people who can speak and speak these days, and your character must be trustworthy, and it doesn't matter if you are literate or not." I'm going to get them to start sweeping the streets of Wudu and the big cities. ”

"Street sweeping?" Sun Peng was stunned, not knowing why.
