It is said that Chen Liang lived a very leisurely life in Xinhua.
The building business contracted by the West China Construction Company has reached Ezhou in the north and Jiujiang in the east, and the business of building houses in the nearby Changsha, Yuezhou and Changde Mansions is still intensive.
The production of cement, slab bricks and cement powles has been repeatedly expanded, but it is still not enough to meet the demand of the market, especially cement, which is still a drop in the bucket if the momentum increases by three or five times. The sales of wax paper engraving equipment have risen steadily, but Chen Liang has little control over this matter. The production of watches has been kept at a very low capacity, which makes the demand even stronger.
The "New Newspaper" under Chen Liang's auspices was also reprinted again and again, and Chen Liang was not at all worried that the "Great Song Jing Daily" would steal the limelight from the "New Newspaper".
Chen Liang is also the interim CEO of the Mao Group's construction, manufacturing and media publishing industries.
But Chen Liang's full and bullish days changed with a letter from Mao Geng.
After receiving Mao Geng's letter, Chen Liang was also very excited about the completion of the Zhancheng project, although the city is small, and the people built the palace at the beginning, although Chen Liang had the dream of building the best building for the Great Song Dynasty at the beginning, but he also knew the principle of gradual progress. As the West China Construction Company contracted more and more house building work, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and now Chen Liang's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, Chen Liang likes challenging things, and ordinary building houses can no longer make Chen Liang feel excited, but the construction of the Champa Palace is obviously a challenging work, Chen Liang weighed it a little, and decided that this overseas project is worth doing.
Chen Liang will make a little arrangement for things, and he will rush to Lin'an, not to mention whether he will go to occupy the city or not, anyway, the palace of Zhancheng has been repaired. However, Chen Liang did not hesitate to go to the distant city of Zhancheng and need to cross the ocean, although he could also show his political talents a little there, tutor the government of the small gang outside the fan, and also talk about his life. But Chen Liang had never sailed far at sea, and he was hesitant for a while.
Chen Liang knew that if he wanted to build a palace, he could not wait for it to be taken lightly, and a group of highly skilled men were required to go there, but many people retreated as soon as they heard that they were going to sail, and although Chen Liang offered four times the salary, there were still very few people who were willing to take the risk. In fact, during this period of time, Chen Liang's Huaxi Construction Company has been repeatedly expanded, taking advantage of the increasing number of reformed people who come to Xinhua, Huaxi Construction Company has recruited people every time, and now the third and fourth construction branches have more than 400 people each. According to Chen Liang's plan, at least a team of 120 people had to be sent to Champa, which was still the idea of asking the locals to work as small workers, but after scraping together, there were still 50 craftsmen who were willing to cross the sea to Champa.
Of course, this matter could not be hidden from Qu Jiadong's people, but Qu Wengu and Xiang Yixuan did not express their enthusiasm for going to Zhancheng. Chen Liang couldn't, so he had to think of a high-salary recruitment method again, and prepared to lure a lot of money into the new batch of reformed people who came to Xinhua, and even coaxed them to gather the remaining more than 70 people.
But that night, an unpleasant guest suddenly came, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he claimed to be able to help recruit all the people Chen Liang needed. Chen Liang looked at this person, only felt that he was mighty, and there was naturally a domineering spirit between his words, Chen Liang suddenly had a good impression, so he beckoned this person to sit down, Chen Liang felt that if someone could gather a group of people to go to Zhancheng, he would have some ability, but I don't know what conditions he has.
Chen Liang was anxious to find out what method the visitor could use to gather people who dared to go overseas, but after the visitor sat down, he begged Chen Liang for wine. Chen Liang was originally a drinker, so he immediately ordered someone to serve wine and food, and the two immediately drank to each other.
While drinking, the visitor said:
"Mr. Chen is a very famous person, he deigned to come to me Xinhua to be the director of Huaxi Construction Company, Mr. Chen can stretch and bend, and it is very admirable. In the name of Mr. Chen, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to have a drink with Mr. Chen, and I don't want to get what I want today, which is really a blessing for three lives! β
Chen Liang had drunk wine before, and he was already a little drunk, and when he heard some compliments, he couldn't help but feel a little fluttery, and said in his mouth:
"I look at Your Excellency, and you are also a character, I don't know why you want to help me? In addition, after all, going overseas is thousands of miles away from home, and I know that some strong people are difficult, I wonder how your Excellency can make people happy to go? β
When the visitor heard this, he took the wine bowl and drank it dry, his face was dripping with wine, and he didn't take it seriously at all, just smiled:
"Mr. Chen, do you know who is down there?"
Chen Liang didn't give in, dried the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and said with a smile:
"You and I meet is fate, I see you interesting, so I invite you to drink, clichΓ© etiquette, whatever he does! Haha, how do I know who you are! If you say so, you should ask your Excellency who is the hero? β
Come to the thumbs up and praise:
"Rejoice! Mr. Chan is a happy person. β
Again, the man said,
"The contemptible people admire Mr. Chen so much, if the contemptible people report their name, Mr. Chen will not be disadvantageous to me!"
Chen Liang smiled:
"I have always admired heroes and heroes, is it possible that Brother Tai is a chivalrous character, and his subordinates have injured people? Don't worry, I don't think Your Excellency is like that kind of person who seeks money and kills, it is not because he saw that the road was uneven and pulled out a knife to help, causing trouble! Even if it were so, it would be okay, how could I be against you! β
Chen Liang prides himself on being a character like Zhuge Liang, a hero who likes heroes, and also admires knights like Jing Ke, so these words are not a lie.
When the visitor heard this, he was relieved and immediately told the truth:
"The contemptible person is the former lord of Qu Jiatong, and the contemptible person's name is Qu Laisan. The contemptible people have a lot of admiration for Mr. Chen in their hearts, and Mr. Chen has made a lot of efforts for my Qu Jiatong, please accept the next gift. β
Qu Laisan said that he would bow his head.
Chen Liang was extremely stunned for a while, and the wine also woke up for three minutes, and exclaimed:
"You --- you, didn't you fall overboard ---!"
Qu Laisan smiled slightly and said:
"I also know that Mr. Chen has a lot of questions, so let's go to the next one."
But it turned out that Qu Laisan's so-called "falling into the water and dying" was a man-made game from the beginning, and it was planned by Qu Laisan. The reason why Qu Laisan pretended to be dead actually had another purpose, and Qu Laisan did not hide it, saying:
"On that day, the contemptible people found a cave underground, this cave is very large and very wide, according to the rumors that the bearded guest lived in seclusion here, the contemptible people thought that this was the place where the bearded guest lived in seclusion, and did not hide it from Mr. Chen, since then, the contemptible people's thoughts have been placed overseas. The contemptible people also want to follow the story of the bearded guest back then, cross the ocean, and go to Fanwai to make contributions. The disappearance of contemptible people in front of people has all kinds of benefits, and my Qu Jiatong can win the favor of Mr. Mao and accumulate assets in the name of righteousness, and I never thought that I could get Mr. Chen's help later, and it is like a tiger with wings, so that there is a prosperous situation today, which is really gratifying. Therefore, this contemptible move is really cost-effective. β
When Chen Liang heard this, Qu Laisan's performance of this pretending to be dead drama really made Qu Jiatong's situation extremely vivid, and he couldn't help but admire the legendary half-bandit and half-businessman figure in front of him. This person wants to imitate the story of the bearded guest, wants to be the king overseas, and does not hesitate to pretend to be dead in advance to accumulate wealth, and his mind is yin and ruthless enough, although he is not a character like a hero, he can also be regarded as a tiger and wolf. So, Chen Liang raised the person in front of him up a notch, and praised at the moment:
"Brother Qu is really good! However, why are you willing to show up again today? β
Seeing that Chen Liang did not mean to blame, Qu Laisan was full of appreciation, and when he raised his neck to drink the wine in the bowl, he said solemnly:
"Mr. Chen is in trouble now, this matter is also my Qu Jiatong's matter, whether it is Qu Wengu, Xiang Yixuan, or even Qu Yaolong, they are all not authoritative enough, and it is difficult to help Mr. Zong to gather people and horses to go to Zhancheng, this is one of them. Second, in front of real people, don't tell lies, contemptible people also want to go to Zhancheng with Mr. Chen, to see what overseas fanbangs are like, contemptible people heard that there is a person surnamed Wu in the Great Song Dynasty who is very popular over there, hehe, contemptible people also want to go and weigh the weight of overseas fanbangs. Therefore, the contemptible person is very abrupt today, and he came to visit Mr. Chen alone, and Mr. Chen will not think that the contemptible person has any malicious intent! β
Chen Liang listened and pondered, and probably understood the purpose of Qu Laisan's visit, it seems that this person really has the intention of going overseas to claim the king, and whether he wants to accept this person or not is also a little difficult for a while.
Qu Lai San saw that Chen Liang was silent, and knew that Chen Liang was worried, so he said:
"If the contemptible person goes, of course, the construction of the palace is the first priority, if you want to do something else, then naturally you will obey Mr. Chen's orders, anyway, you will never be embarrassed by Mr. Chen."
Chen Liang guessed through the other party's thoughts, so he still looked like he was groaning, but from time to time he picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, which seemed difficult to make a decision for a while.
Qu Laisan was a martial artist after all, and when he saw this, he was anxious, and said with some discouragement:
"If Mr. Chen thinks it's wrong, then the contemptible person has no choice but to leave."
Chen Liang laughed, stopped Qu Laisan, and said angrily:
"Since Brother Qu trusts me so much, it is also appropriate to take some risks for Brother Qu. However, this matter must be done in secret, and it must not be known to the outside world, especially Mr. Mao, otherwise it is really difficult to distinguish between brothers. β
Qu Laisan's identity was not visible, so he naturally agreed. In Chen Liang's heart, it doesn't matter if Qu Laisan is suspected of being a bandit, anyway, if he goes to Zhancheng, no one will investigate Qu Laisan's life experience, as long as he changes his name, if this person goes voluntarily, Qu Jiatong's people have to follow if they don't go, but they save themselves the trouble of recruiting people all over the world. The two of them took what they needed, and they were both happy. But Chen Liang also knew that there were some drawbacks in this matter, if Mao Geng knew, maybe he would oppose it, so he could only act in secret.
Chen Liang has always acted spontaneously when encountering things, and it is the same when he encounters this incident today. According to common sense, such a strange thing should be communicated with Mao Geng. But Chen Liang only wanted to hide from Mao Geng.
But in this way, Chen Liang couldn't think of a problem, that is, once Qu Laisan went to Zhancheng, if he wanted to control this person, he might have to go by himself. Then I thought, these years to learn the arts and martial arts, but again and again with no talent, there is no way to serve the country, so I have this opportunity to fool the monarch of a small state, try the edge, first in the state of Fanbang, and then come back to contribute to the country, this so-called curve to serve the country, is also a different way.
In this way, Chen Liang had a contradictory mood, took a group of people and horses, and a fleet full of various material materials accompanied him, passed through the water, entered Dongting, turned to the Yangtze River, and was then guided by the sea boat, and went straight to Hangzhou Bay.
Chen Liang settled the fleet, came to Lin'an, and met Wen Yuan, Wen Yuan naturally wanted to persuade Chen Liang to go to Zhancheng, Chen Liang experienced a sea voyage this time, and did not feel that there was anything wrong, so he agreed to come down.
Next, Chen Liang met with Zou Yalian and agreed to go to Zhancheng together, and Zou Yalian had to invite Cai Jianwen to see him off.
During this period, Cai Jianwen sent someone to find Jiang Kui, Jiang Kui was worried about Hefei Shuangshu and went to Hefei to find it, but unfortunately the sisters had already disappeared, so Jiang Kui returned to Lin'an in amazement. Chen Liang is a person who loves to be lively, and he is drifting across the ocean to occupy the city with no friends, so he urges Jiang Kui to go with him. That Jiang Kui was frustrated in love, and there was no way to advance in the officialdom, so he felt sorry for Chen Liang, and even responded to Chen Liang's invitation.
The fleet went all the way to Quanzhou, and according to the prior plan, Cai Jianwen was sent to Quanzhou, and it was no longer sent, and the fleet sailed directly to Zhancheng here.
But Chen Liang heard that Penghu was almost on the way to Zhancheng, and suddenly thought of going to Penghu again. The reason is that Chen Liang is still a little uneasy about walking with Qu Laisan, so he pondered to ask the Great Song Dynasty to send naval ships to escort him, Chen Liangxin said that he was going to have a diplomatic mission, and from this point of view, he asked the Great Song Dynasty to send ships to escort him, which was completely reasonable.
