Chapter Eighty-Two: The Reckoning Trickster
doesn't speak, it doesn't mean that Lotte doesn't care about him, it's just that there are more things to deal with at the moment, and there is no time to worry about him.
In this life plus the previous life, although Lotte has its own standards of life, it never thinks that he is a good person, let alone a broad-minded person.
As the director of the workshop, the most trusted subordinate of the three lords of the county government, the strongest assistant and so on, how can Lotte be idle.
As he said at the moment, Lotte was busy with other things while he was busy leveling the ruins of the county after the county fire. For generations, the chief official has always only given orders with his mouth, and the specific matters have to be handled by his subordinates, so Lotte is not allowed to be the head of the workshop.
The errand officials in the county government know that the reconstruction of Pingyu is not like other engineering errands, there is not much oil and water to fish, and they are too lazy to meddle.
In order to promote their own real estate, real estate developers in later generations naturally have to make models and advertise to attract customers.
With those experiences from previous lives, Lotte naturally wants to emulate. From the requisitioned workers, I found a few laborers who could do carpenter work, and according to the Pingyu County Ya plan drawn by themselves, they were rushing to make a model of a two-zhang square circle, striving to be exquisite and perfect.
"Mr. Le, the eldest lord is calling you!" was busy working in the house, and the inner hall came to find Lotte and said.
In response, Lotte came to the signing room of Chen Zhixian's office, and said with a salute: "The eldest lord summoned his subordinates, I don't know what happened?" ”
Chen Zhixian frowned: "Except for a few people other than the banker, there are few responders and fundraisers!" ”
The relief from the imperial court has not yet arrived, and the most important thing to rebuild peace is money.
Lotte did not sign and did a state of reflection.
"What can you do?" Seeing that Lotte didn't say anything, Chen Zhixian suddenly increased his tone to express his dissatisfaction.
"My subordinates have some plans, and I hope the eldest master can adopt them!" Lotte hurriedly saluted, and then lowered his voice and whispered in Chen Zhixian's ear for a while.
After listening to Lotte's words, Chen Zhixian's originally frowning brows gradually relaxed, and he nodded after thinking for a while.
On this day, Lotte was in the workshop to review the expenses, and near noon, the front hall Menzi Station reported in front of the door: "Mr. Le, someone is in a hurry to find you!" ”
Lotte didn't look up, just asked, "Who?" ”
The man smiled very obscenely: "That person is a half-old woman, and he said that he is the Cheng Pozi of the Qinghe family!" ”
"Which Mrs. Cheng?" Lotte raised his eyebrows, thought about it and said, "I don't know, I don't see!" ”
"It turns out that Mr. Cheng doesn't recognize this Mrs. Cheng?" The man was a little surprised, but he refused to leave, and said: "This Mrs. Cheng is the mother of the family on the flower boat in the south of the city, and when Mr. held the Oiran Competition, she also took her family's flower boat to make lyrics to reward you Oiran!" ”
As soon as Menzi said this, Lotte immediately had an imprint, but a trickster bustard looked for what would happen to him, and saw this doorman's obscene and smiling appearance, Lotte patted the case and said angrily: "Pingyu has recently had a disaster, and the county government is very busy, you dare to report to me about such a person, how much benefit did you take from that bustard!" ”
It is inevitable that this man will take the benefits, and he hurriedly said: "The villain also refused to the Cheng mother-in-law for Mr., but the Cheng mother-in-law said that Mr. Xun had official business, not for other reasons!" ”
Weave! You continue to make it up, Lotte snorted coldly in his heart, and said: "Le is in charge of the workshop, not the torture room, what kind of bird business can she have, are you interceding for her?" ”
"The little ones don't dare to lie at all!" The man didn't dare to offend Lotte, and hurriedly said: "That woman has a submission in her hand, it seems that there is indeed something!" ”
After taking the government's submission, there is naturally something to do, and it is estimated that it has something to do with the relocation, so Lotte naturally can't shirk anything, and waved his hand: "Bring that woman in!" ”
But after a while, Mrs. Cheng walked in, and when she saw Lotte, she smiled: "Sir, do you still know me?" ”
"Say what!" In the workshop, Lotte is putting on a business-like appearance.
Mrs. Cheng shouted: "I hope Mr. will give me a way to live!" As he spoke, he handed a submission to Rakuten.
After taking the submission, Lotte read it hastily, and at the end of the submission, there were more than a dozen signed paintings, and even a few of these dozen names were still familiar to me.
It turned out that because of the Pingyu fire, Chen Zhi County issued a ban a few days ago, strictly prohibiting the opening of the gambling house.
Lotte looked at him with disdain, and said to Mrs. Cheng: "You people have no vision, the Qinghe River water system extends in all directions, and Pingyu is not allowed to do business, and you can't go to Fucheng and other states and counties to do business!" ”
In Lotte's eyes, what kind of trick Fengyue, to put it more clearly, is just a matter of having money with one leg, so why should these things find themselves.
"I'm afraid Mr. Le doesn't know the inside story of the wind and dust industry!" Mrs. Cheng smiled bitterly: "How can it be easy for us to do these businesses, in response to that sentence, the officials bully the people and blackmail the people, if we go to other states and counties, we will inevitably be exploited by the local ruffians, how can it be so easy!" ”
How can Lotte not know, is there no background in the wind and dust industry, and I don't know how deep the water is, just like Yichun Pavilion is the business of Huang Da's family, and Pingle Xuan is the business of Lu Zhisi's family, and there is no force to dare to operate. These people are the head snakes of the land in terms of peace, and if they go to other states and counties, they can only keep their voices low, and if they don't get it right, they will be disgraced by others.
Of course, the Oiran Dabi is different from today, and those female actors are here to participate in the Dabi, not to steal business, which is completely two meanings.
It doesn't matter if gambling is banned, but if the wind and dust industry is banned, these tricks can't go to drink the northwest wind.
"There is a ban under the county lord, and Le is powerless!" Lotte shook his head, acting helplessly.
This is Chen Zhixian's order, how can he manage it, Lotte said.
Mrs. Cheng hurriedly said: "The peers recommended the old man to come, just to let the gentleman and the eldest master talk about it, and our families are willing to contribute money to fund the reconstruction of this county!" ”
The silver money for the imperial court disaster relief has not yet been allocated, and what Pingyu lacks most now is money, Lotte said: "You go back first, let me probe the eldest master before making a decision!" ”
Hearing Lotte say this, Mrs. Cheng knew that she had some eyebrows, and after thanking her, she grinned and retreated.
Seeing that Mrs. Cheng leaving, Lotte's face was full of smiles,
After the fire, most of the flower streets and willow lanes in the city were burned down, and there were nimble tricks who bought flower boats from neighboring prefectures and counties, and placed them on the Qinghe River to continue doing business.
On that day, Lotte was summoned by Chen Zhixian to the signing room, and was worried about raising money to rebuild Pingyu and asked Lotte. Lotte just remembered the appearance of the flower boats by the Qinghe River, and knew that it was easy for the bosses of these tricks to make money, which one was not rich, but now he refused to raise half a penny, and Lotte had a plan in his heart.
So Lotte came up with an idea, saying that Pingyu had just suffered a disaster, and there were people outside the city who were looking for joy and having fun, and the wind and moon were infinite, which was really immoral. Chen Zhixian knew that he immediately issued a ban, explicitly prohibiting the opening of the county's wind and dust industry and gambling houses.
So there is a scene of today's old bustard coming to the door to ask for joy.
Maybe some officials will say that Lotte is not kind, those tricks are Lotte guests, and the women of the tricks are even self-recommending seats, and Lotte is really not authentic to do this.
In fact, Lotte doesn't know, whether it's a female performer who recommends herself to a banquet, or an old bustard who serves himself as a guest, it's just that he wants to make some poems for himself to become famous.
It's easy to say that the women of the trick family are good, but these trick bosses are a little stingy, each trick has the first twenty female tricks, how can the income of a day be one or two hundred, and the income of thousands of knots in a month, now Pingyu needs to be rebuilt, but these misers don't want to take out half a point, no wonder Lotte will hit the idea on the trick family.
Cheng Lao Bustard begged to come to the door, Lotte verbally agreed, and also swaggered to find Chen Zhixian, but only reported some daily work without mentioning the matter.
Why is the Tao, although the county government itself is in the limelight for a while, but the county government inevitably has the eyes and ears of the head snake of the public opinion, and if you can't do it yourself, how can it not reach the ears of those people, and it is still very necessary to make a show.
There are a few people who don't know the truth of waiting for the price to sell, and the more anxious the other party is, the more oil and water will be squeezed out.
Soon there will be no help but to do so.
"Mr. Le!" When the evening was approaching, Lu Shuji, who was originally just an ordinary clerk, came to the door of the workshop in order to make a deal with the Lu family, and was promoted by Lotte to be the prisoner of the torture room.
Seeing that little Lu Abshiji was coming, Lotte greeted him with a smile: "Lu Abshi, please come in!" ”
The new little Lu Zhiji walked in with a smile on his face, presented a gilded red invitation card with both hands, and said respectfully: "My family uncle invites the adults to talk about it!" ”
After taking the invitation, Lotte glanced at it, and realized that it was an invitation sent by the previous boss of the workshop, Lu He Cha Xiao Lu Oshi, and invited himself to the banquet.
The new torture room Xiao Lu Zhisi and the former Gongfang Lu Zhisi are uncles and nephews of the family, and it is also appropriate to speak like this.
Lotte pretended to be puzzled and said, "Some time ago, I just met your uncle!" ”
"I don't know below, but at noon today, my uncle sent this invitation to Mr., and repeatedly told him to appreciate the light!" The new little Ryoshi said.
Lu He runs Pingle Xuan, and if he wants to ban it for a few days, this Lu Zhisi is also a little unbearable, so he came to find himself. Maybe these trick bosses thought that the old bustard Cheng who came to find him before was not enough, so he asked this Lu Absilige to come forward.
Lotte had a plan in his heart, took the invitation, and said with a smile: "Now I also have a good relationship with Mr. Lu Helu, so it is better to be respectful than to obey my fate!" ”
Seeing that Lotte readily accepted, Xiao Lu Oshiji was also very happy, and talked for a long time in Lotte's workshop, only to hear the sound of the errand, and then went out with Lotte and went to a restaurant in the city.
If it were the usual, this Lu He would have invited Lotte to the flower boat or the house of the trick to have fun, but now that Chen Zhixian has issued a ban, the trick and the flower boat dare not open the door to do business, so he must not invite Lotte to the restaurant for a banquet.
Came to a restaurant, just entered the lobby, and saw Lu He and three rich people dressed as people greeted him, Lotte and everyone after the ceremony, Lu He introduced the three people one by one to Lotte.
Sure enough, as Lotte expected, these three people are inconspicuous in Pingyu, and they are usually very low-key, but they are the behind-the-scenes bosses of several Pingyu restaurants, all of which have thousands of acres of land in the countryside.
It's just that there is not much fun on the table of Lotte Jue, Chen Zhixian ordered the family to close, and there is less singing and dancing on this banquet, and with a few old men, there is finally a lot less atmosphere.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Lu He came to the front of Lotte and said, "A few days ago, that old bustard came to find Mr.?" ”
Lotte nodded, so he was surprised and said, "How did Mr. Lu know about this?" ”
"This matter was done by Meng Lang by Cheng!" Just as Lotte's words fell, Cheng Yuanchang, who was recommended by Lu He, arched his hand and said.
"Lao Cheng, you are really not doing things properly!" At this moment, another rich man surnamed Zhang interjected from the side.
"That Mrs. Cheng is just an old bustard, wouldn't it insult Mr. Le's identity if you let someone with that status ask Mr. Le to do something!" Another member surnamed Li also said on the side.
