Chapter 161: I Lost!

Quietly I went, just as I came quietly.

After witnessing the whole process, Yao Yuanjun and Ma Beijia walked quietly as when they came, and when they walked out of the main hall and Wanfu Building, the two of them didn't say a word for a long time.

Ma Beijia's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and because he gritted his teeth too hard, it could be clearly seen that two ribs of flesh rolled on the back of his face; Yao Rongfu's expression was slightly better, but after a closer look, he could see that his face was a little uneven.

Everything they saw and heard today was contrary to their common sense, but Tang Cheng's obviously contrary to common sense method achieved jaw-dropping results, that is, when he looked back on the scene he had just experienced in the hall, Yao Rongfu felt shocked first.

He has been to Jinzhou for some days, as the three circles of the eight views of Jinzhou, he has also been to a few times, while lamenting that this scene is indeed unique, he never thought that this seemingly extremely lonely wharf can be worthy of so many people, so that even Zhou Jun and Dulahe and other giants can come from thousands of miles away!

When he went to the Yingyue Wharf three times before, he hadn't even paid attention to the river beach, so when he heard with his own ears in the hall just now that the river beach land full of stones and sand was being asked for eighty guan and one mu and Tang Cheng still refused to sell it, Yao Rongfu felt a strong illusion.

What's wrong? What happened to all these people? Could it be that they're not talking about money? Is it paper?

Followed by the land acquisition on both sides of the road to be built in Jinzhou, Yao Zhijun already knew that Tang Cheng had completed all the land acquisition work a few days ago, according to the report, Tang Cheng fully fulfilled his promise in the official document in this land acquisition, and was unwilling to change the official land at the market price redemption and cash transaction.

When he heard the news, apart from sighing that Tang Cheng had a solid family background and was ruthless and courageous, Yao Rongfu was not surprised. In his mind, the purpose of Tang Cheng's actions was just as he thought that day. This is fighting, Tang Cheng bet all his net worth to build this road, the purpose is to fight for an observation to make the appreciation of adults, and to fight for a chance to get on top.

For the new Earth Observation Envoy, building the road is the most important thing, and Tang Cheng obviously saw this, and he did not hesitate to do everything to his liking. Yes, he is still so young, and he still has a long, long way to go in officialdom. In this way, even the biggest bet is worth it. With the support of a rich family fund, and then ask for some in the state government, owe some money and grain to the "white stripes", and repair the road worse, maybe let him succeed in the fight, and build a road with the strength of one person. It is difficult to observe such an achievement without appreciating it.

This is Yao Yuanjun's previous judgment of Tang Cheng's actions, and he also firmly believes that his thoughts will not be wrong, because he really can't find a second possibility otherwise. When I figured this out in the office that day. Yao Rongfu was already impressed by Tang Cheng. At his age, it is rare to be able to do such a big thing and have such a decision.

But. Until today. Until just now. Yao realized that he was wrong. And the mistake is outrageous. Use the Fangzhou and Golden State roads to release the value of the wharf land. raising the price of land on the river beach; Then, the money from leasing and selling wharf land is used to pay for land acquisition when building roads. After waiting for the levy. After the completion of this road, which is destined to be extremely prosperous, the acres of land on both sides of the road will be "auctioned" to those merchants to repair the inn. Liquor store. Tea shop. Warehouses......

It's a circle. Speaking of which, Tang Cheng didn't invest a penny in it at all. All the land he used was someone else's money. The use of other people's land money has raised the price of land acquisition for wharves, river beaches and roadside land to an eye-popping height. Buy low and sell at a high price. The difference in the price of the wharf and more than 1,000 acres of roadside land was enough for him to build two. Or even three ways to come.

I remembered the scene of all the businessmen in the main hall just now. Thinking about it again, I always thought that Tang Cheng would be short of money and food. Silently, Yao Rongfu showed a self-deprecating wry smile. Now Tang Cheng is short of money. Just build such a road dozens of miles long. Look at the stance. The huge amount of money he had amassed could not be spent at all.

Astound. Lament. After self-loss. The mood gradually calmed down, and Yao Rongfu thought of Tang Chengshi again. In addition to being amazed, there is also a trace of fear in my heart.

What made him feel amazing was that Tang Cheng first grasped the general trend of Shannan Dongdao. "Potential" is a mysterious thing. But for Yao Yuanjun, who has been immersed in the imperial city for a long time. From the personnel changes and ups and downs of the court over the years, he clearly knows that he has the ability to grasp and make decisions about the "situation". It is the fundamental reason that determines what kind of height an official's career can eventually reach.

To Tang Chengdi's age. It's enough to be amazing. And the series of specific actions he made after his decision were simply jaw-dropping. From the pier to the river flats. Then to the auction of acres of land on both sides of the road and the gathering of the rich in front of you. Meticulously linked. One ring after another. When looking back on this whole process again. Yao Rongfu thought of the evaluation of only eight words: turning his hands into clouds. Cover your hands for the rain.

Tang Chengdi's series of operating methods are unprecedented, and he boasts that he is well-read, so that Lord Jun is very sure of this, which means that everything he saw and heard just now was thought up by Tang Cheng himself, and this is what made Yao Rongfu feel terrifying.

How wise and close to the demon!

Tang Cheng's grasp of the "potential", his determination and ability to act concretely on the road construction in Jinzhou, and then thinking of his age, are the best interpretation of the >meaning of the words "more intelligent and close to the demon".

When he muttered these four words in his mouth, Yao Rongfu's hands were clenched together, he really wanted to, he really wanted to abolish Tang Cheng, this was not only a little fear and jealousy out of dark psychology, but also because of anger, the anger of being fooled, he was fooled by Tang Cheng, and to this day, Yao Yuanjun has clearly realized this.

As a state assassin, he was fooled by a small official under his command, and the funny thing is that he had always thought that he had a plan, and the sum of these two creations made Yao Rongfu, who really understood, was no less angry at this time than the horse beside him.

However, in the end, Lord Jun slowly let go of his clenched hand, although he wanted to abolish Tang Cheng in his heart, but the reality made him understand that he couldn't and couldn't do it at all.

Tang Cheng is no longer the Tang Cheng in his impression, with that "military order" that now seems to be purely a cocoon, the result of the road construction in Jinzhou is basically a foregone conclusion, if there is still room for turning around in this matter, then Tang Cheng's friendship makes Yao Zhijun have to be afraid. Judging from the experience just now, there are not only people behind Tang Cheng. And that person's status is definitely not low.

I am wise and close to the demon, there is observation to make adults appreciate, and there is a strong backer behind me. There is a folk proverb: bully the old and don't bully the young, let alone Tang Cheng's "less".

With a long and helpless sigh, Yao Rongfu, who was about to get into the carriage, finally broke the silence, "Dongyang." After going to the government in the afternoon, I asked Sihu and Sicang to come to see me, and it was urgent to allocate money, food, and conscription quotas to Tang Cheng."

"My lord", Ma Dongyang's face changed when he heard this, "Tang Cheng'er ignores the state government so much, I will let him do this?" ”。

"What if not?" , Yao Rongfu's casual reply was quite gloomy.

"The wharf, the river flats, and the fields on both sides of the road, as long as the adults want to. There's always a way to ......." "It's late, it's too late, it's already so. Tang Cheng has already prospered and lost with those wealthy businessmen, after all, these people are not small traders selling hu cakes on the street, how can a Jinzhou governor withstand their joint counterattack, and Tang Cheng ......", Yao Rongfu, who was gloomy in speech, did not say any more.

"It's just a bunch of profit-seekers......."

Seeing that his words had been said so clearly, Ma Dongyang still didn't realize it, and Yao Rongfu, who was already in a bad mood, suddenly felt a wave of irritability in his heart. "That's it, there is no need to discuss this matter, let's do what the official says."

After waving his hand and saying this, Yao Rongfu got into the carriage, and while making Lord Jun lower the curtain casually, he looked at Ma Dongyang, who was with a black face below, and muttered to himself, "Idiot! ”。

After seeing Yao Rongfu's carriage go far away, Ma Dongyang also whispered with hatred: "Cowardly as a mouse!" ”。

In the afternoon of the same day, Si Tian and Si Cang were dumbfounded to witness the first vigorous and resolute action of Lord Jun since he took office. Checking the official warehouse and checking the quota of conscription, Niu Gongming, who was anxious in their hearts, thought that this was Yao Rongfu's bottom of what Yao Rongfu wanted to deal with, and in the end, it was only in the end that the purpose of making Lord Jun do this was to prepare money, food and a quota for conscription for Tang Cheng.

Hearing Lord Lingjun say this command decisively, Niu Gongming and the two exchanged glances, except for surprise and confusion, what the hell is going on?

Later, when the frightened and surprised two men ran to the official room of the horse, they did not get a word from the other driver except for the dark face that could crush the person.

Get out of the stall. Niu Gongming and the two looked at each other and sighed: What happened to this Tang Cheng? Why every time I met him. Things always have to change in the end. It seems that this record of participating in the military position is completely hopeless!

Night. Because Yao Yuanjun's order was too urgent and the time limit was too short, Si Tian Cao and Si Cang Cao had to rush to work overnight, while Tang Cheng was entertaining those businessmen in Wanfu Building.

On the second day, Si Tian and Si Cang continued to fight, while Tang Cheng was busy seeing off the guests, and at the same time, the notices of the hired workers of the Jinzhou Road Construction Department had also been widely dispersed to the suburbs and the four counties.

On the morning of the third day, Tang Cheng bid farewell to Du Lahe, Zhou Jun and Zhang Liang at the ten-mile long pavilion outside Jinzhou City.

Du Lahe never forgot the matter of Chunzhou, "Don't worry, my friendship with Sun Zhijun is unreliable, but he can't ignore the letter from Zheng Shi's envoy", at this point, Tang Cheng lowered his voice and said: "Brother, this time I rely on a lot, brother, I will also give you a solid bottom, and now Sun Yuanjun is relying on Shangguan Zhaorong behind him, and this matter is still a line drawn by my brother." Now, whether it is public or private, my brother and I are both prosperous, and this matter will never leave you without a place to go. Then you should be relieved."

"Good!" , Du Lahe's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he slapped Tang Cheng's shoulder heavily, "You brother and brother I didn't make friends in vain."

Saying goodbye to Zhou Jun is much simpler, after all, the two are close to each other, it is convenient to come and go, and more importantly, the two have the same spleen and stomach. When you smile, your mind is known.

When he arrived at Zhang Liang's place, he deliberately motioned for Tang Cheng and the two to step aside.

"Ah Cheng, you really don't want to go to the capital?" , After these days of familiarity, Zhang Liang's title has also changed from Tang Cheng to a more affectionate "Ah Cheng". Tang Cheng didn't expect him to say such things again, and after being slightly stunned, he shook his head with a smile, "It wasn't until these two days that I figured out the entire road construction matter, Ah Cheng, you are really a genius in the matter of business, and I am born to be useful, this is your own words."

This operation is well known to everyone in later generations, genius! Zhang Liang's admiration really made Tang Cheng embarrassed, "It's still the same sentence." The so-called talent is just a little more thought than others, and this is true for me personally. The same is true for road construction, which is really not worthy of such praise from Brother Zhang. As for the capital, I always have to go sooner or later, but now I can't leave even if I want to, and I really don't want to be here for businessmen, so please ask Brother Zhang to explain this to His Royal Highness the King of the County." That's it! Zhang Liang shook his head helplessly when he heard this, "If you don't want to, you don't want to, but Ah Cheng, you need to write a detailed article about the road repair." It's incredible! The third prince must be very interested in this matter."

Without waiting for Tang Cheng to say anything, Zhang Liang continued: "Don't resign from this matter!" I'm waiting in Beijing."

"Okay", Tang Cheng could only nod.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang smiled, patted Tang Cheng's shoulder and got into the car.

Sending these three people away, Tang Cheng, who had been really busy for the past two days, had just returned home, and before he could sit down to eat enough tea, he saw the porter Lao Gao leading a miscellaneous servant of the state government to walk in, saying that Lord Jun was invited.

"What is the matter with Yao Yuanjun looking for me?". walked all the way and thought all the way, until he walked into Yao Rongfu's office, he didn't understand what Lao Yao was looking for him.

Therefore, when the kind-faced Yao Yuanjun reported a large number of money and food and the amount of conscription, and said that this was for him to be used exclusively for road repair, Tang Chengdi reacted that there was no difference between Niu Gongming and Niu Gongming the day before yesterday, in addition to being surprised, he was still surprised!

From the repeated prevarication in the past to the generosity of the present, even the chameleon has not changed as quickly as Yao Zhijun. What the hell is going on here?

looked at Tang Cheng with a surprised face. Yao Rongfu felt a lot better, and the smile on his face became more and more pleasant. "Tang Cheng, you also know what kind of family the state government is, and the official has done his best to make up so much money, food and conscription, and you must do a good job of building roads."

"Yes".

"Well, I heard that you have completed the land acquisition and started hiring workers the day before yesterday?" Seeing Tang Cheng nodding, Yao Rongfu made a gesture of appreciation, "Okay!" It just so happened that the state government needs to submit an official document to the observation of the yamen, and the official should inform me of the smooth progress of the road construction in Jinzhou, Tang Cheng, you are so good, if you encounter any difficulties, even if you come to the official, the official will be the master for you", the last two sentences, Yao Rongfu said that he was really arrogant, and there was still a little bit of "simple and inactive" meaning?

Lao Yao wants to steal the credit! Tang Cheng understood what he meant, seeing that everything in front of him was going well, Lao Yao finally made a move, and his merit-grabbing capital, in addition to his position in the history of the assassination, was these money, food and conscription quotas, although the things he gave could not even build a third of the road, but as long as he gave it, when the Jinzhou Road was completed, he would not be able to bypass him, the chief official. It is impossible to say that the observation makes the adult praise him for his ability to understand the general situation and take into account the overall situation!

After thinking about this, Tang Cheng had to sigh in his heart, Lao Yao is worthy of many years of experience in the imperial city, although the governance is mediocre, but if you talk about the wait-and-see style and grasp the opportunity to grab merit, it has really reached the point of perfection!

Coming out of Yao Yuanjun's office, Tang Cheng looked at the official document in his hand approving the amount of money, food and forced labor, and unexpectedly remembered the bank in the future: when you are really anxious to use the money to take out a loan, it will not give anything; But when there is no shortage of money, the bank takes the initiative to send money to the door and encourages you to take out a loan.

Although more than 1,300 years have passed, Yao Yuanjun's actions at this time are really similar to the banks of later generations.

"Give it", Tang Cheng shook the official document in his hand vigorously, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that if I have too much money, I will bite my hand."

With money, food, and a quota of conscription, and the unequivocal support of the first person in the state, the road construction that seemed to be bleak and panicked on the surface suddenly changed dramatically.

The rear money and food are well guaranteed, and the specific construction in front is supervised by the four experts from the Ministry of Engineering, and there are also Feng Haizhou and Zhang Xiangwen who can be trusted enough to build the road when they really start to build the road. Tang Cheng, who should have been extremely busy, was more relaxed than a few days ago.

Time passed day by day in the rush of road construction, on this day, Tang Cheng, who was covered in ash, returned home from the construction site, followed by Feng Haizhou and Zhang Xiangwen, who were also gray.

It's mid-spring, and after a simple freshening up, I'm waiting for the moment before dinner. The three of them sat on the stone table in the courtyard and talked.

"Haizhou, second brother, what you just said is a sentence in the final analysis", Tang Cheng poured tea for the two of them, and continued the topic on the road: "It's not good for so many people to mix together, I remember a sentence I often heard in the village when I was a child: There are many people to eat steamed buns, and few people are good to work."

Hearing such a sentence coming out of Tang Cheng's mouth, Zhang Xiangwen, who had just drunk a sip of tea, couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Big brother, you said the opposite."

"Against. How can it be reversed?! The more people work together, the easier it is to mix, do less and do more, and eat the same amount of buns at the end of the day. Isn't this just how delicious the buns are! On the contrary, if there are fewer people, you won't be able to mix it up."

"What the adults said is reasonable", it was Feng Haizhou who answered, "But if there are fewer road builders, it won't work."

"Divide", Tang Cheng put the tea cup in his hand on the stone table and slammed it, "From tomorrow, all the people involved in the road repair will be divided into groups of fifty people, and each group will let them choose a team to come out, and when they send workers, they will draw the road section more finely." A team for a while, every day to stipulate the amount they must complete, after this amount of more work to calculate the reward, as for the wages, no longer specific to the person, unified to the team, who in his group to do more, who to do less, who should get the award. Whoever should be detained, he is in charge. In this way, we only need to keep an eye on the quality of their work, so as not to be overseers every day and take care of all the bullshit."

Another unbelievable and unheard of approach. Fortunately, Feng Haizhou has been following Tang Cheng these days, and he has long been accustomed to his whimsical and all kinds of amazing actions, so he didn't show too much surprise, but just asked hesitantly. "Is that okay?"

"Try it". Although he said to try it, Tang Cheng's tone was extremely determined. If we want to break the big pot and arouse the enthusiasm of people and land, we can only rely on the contract system, which has been proven time and again by the historical practice of later generations, and it is impossible to do it badly.

After thinking silently for a while, Zhang Xiangwen suddenly said loudly, "I see it", after being startled, he still refused to live in peace, and stood up and came to Tang Cheng's side to look left and right.

"What are you doing again?" , Tang Cheng asked angrily.

"I just want to see how your head grows, big brother", Zhang Xiangwen smiled and said: "How can you come up with such unprecedented, but it is impossible not to shoot the case."

When Tang Cheng was about to speak, Lao Gao walked in at the door and said that there was a scholar surnamed Liu from the state school who asked to see him.

"Surname Liu?" When Tang Cheng heard this, between his eyes and Zhang Xiangwen, the two said in unison: "Liu Suifeng!" ”。

With Tang Cheng's command, after a while, Liu Suifeng followed the porter Lao Gao and walked in from the outside.

Since leaving the garden meeting that day, Tang Cheng has not seen Liu Suifeng for several months.

I haven't seen him for a few months, and Liu Suifeng, who is already handsome, is still dressed in white, and Shi Shiran walked in from outside, and there was an indescribable grace in the mid-spring sun.

Seeing Liu Suifeng like this, Zhang Xiangwen beside Tang Cheng snorted coldly.

on this. Liu Suifeng didn't even turn the corner of his eyes to Zhang Xiangwen as if he hadn't heard it, "Last year today, you and I made a one-year appointment in front of the mountain gate of Wanfu Temple in Yunxi, and today's appointment has arrived, Brother Tang, I have come to fulfill the contract."

"It's been a year", Tang Cheng raised his head and looked around, isn't it, when the two signed the contract last year, it was the mid-spring when the pear blossoms of Wanfu Temple were in full bloom, and the flowers fell and bloomed for another year, and now it is another mid-spring.

This year, Tang Cheng has done a lot of things, and his own situation has also changed a lot, corresponding to his busy life, there is rarely a place to rest, because he is busy, the more difficult it is to feel the passage of time, at this moment, he got Liu Suifeng's reminder, he suddenly reacted, time is like water, and it is another year of mid-spring!

After Liu Suifeng finished saying that, he looked at Tang Cheng quietly.

After a while, Tang Cheng retracted his thoughts, looked at Liu Suifeng's white-clothed Shengxue, and then looked down at the dust that was still stained on his body, and after a moment of silence, he raised his head and smiled slightly: "No need to compare, I lost!" ”。

PS no charge: In addition to being a last resort, this has been kept updating, no matter how late it is, as long as I can change it, I will definitely change. There are chapters to prove this, but what is puzzling is why there are always people in the comment area who keep saying that they are eunuchs!

I wonder, is it because I didn't read the new chapter, or because I was looking forward to this eunuch?

If you are worried about the eunuchs of this association, then I repeat again, how much sweat you sweat and how much you eat, this is the purpose of this book; If you are looking forward to the eunuch of this association, I'm sorry, I can only disappoint you!

Also: Thank you for giving me a monthly pass, a recommended ticket, and a "tip".
