Chapter 102: The Monument of the Common People (2)
"This is Zhong Yuqi, who is responsible for the specific affairs of my Zhong family's business on a daily basis." Zhong Fan hurriedly introduced.
"In Xia Lin Feng, it's just a little personal idea, I hope it will help you in your construction." Lin Feng said first. In this compartment, Zhong Fan introduced Lin Feng to Zhong Yuqi in a low voice, and the person was also surprised, observing Lin Feng up and down.
Lin Feng turned his head and asked Feng Zhikuan if the stone tablet he had asked for had arrived. Feng Zhikuan replied that it had been transported and placed in the courtyard gate.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Can you bother a few craftsmen who gathered all the craftsmen on the scene in front of the stone stele, and let me say a few words to everyone?" β
"Okay, no problem." Zhong Yuqi went quickly at Zhong Fan's signal.
Lin Feng stopped talking and led a few people towards the stone tablet. These young masters are puzzled, it is not uncommon for a major project to be erected after the most important project, like Han Xizai, who does not rely on writing inscriptions to people to earn pen fees every day, but there are not many people who have to transport the monument in place before the start of a project.
After a while, all the craftsmen gathered, and after Zhong Fan introduced Lin Feng loudly, the big guys all looked at Lin Feng who was standing on a stone with great confusion. At this time, Lin Feng's image was not very good, and his left hand was still hanging.
Lin Feng looked around at everyone and said loudly: "Hello craftsmen! β
The title of the craftsman made the people present a little restless, they were "sideways" and "looked at the other way" by the rich people every day, and the craftsman was generally the title that the older, more skilled, and more prestigious people among the craftsmen could get, and suddenly someone called them like this, which made them very unaccustomed.
In Lin's view, this is all because of the accumulation of bricks and tiles of the craftsmen, relying on everyone's efforts bit by bit. The supermarket is an original creation of Lin, and Lin hopes that there will be some other initiatives that should have been done a long time ago and should have been done in the construction process. When Lin Feng said this, he paused for a moment, and found that all the craftsmen in front of him were still staring at him, so he continued, "First of all, I want to explain one thing to everyone. I have made an appointment with these three sons, that is, your master, this project has paid the deposit guarantee in advance, I can assure you that everyone just work hard, if everyone's remuneration is not paid in time at the end of the project, the big guy can directly find me Lin Feng to ask! This is an important reason why Lin Feng asked Zhong Fan and the three of them to pay a deposit.
The crowd in front of him immediately began to stir a little, and everyone began to whisper to the people around them. Although everyone basically works with Zhong, Chen, and Feng for a long time, there are still things like deducting wages and delaying payment from time to time. Zhong Fan and the other three looked at each other, and they all felt incredible, why did you, Lin Feng, an official who was favored by the Holy Grace and had a great future, worry about these subordinates?
"Right behind you, right on this land, we will build a building that Datang has never had before. I firmly believe that this will become a landmark building in Jinling City, not only in its commercial sense, but also in its architectural quality. Lin Feng changed his words and talked about the quality of the project, "Whether this landmark is a flash in the pan or a hundred years is completely in your hands." β
"Now I would like to announce two more things: first, if the project is completed on time and with high quality, Lin will personally take out 100 yuan as a bonus and distribute it equally to each project participant!" Lin Feng looked around at everyone and raised his voice a little more.
Immediately, the crowd began to get really excited. Without him, they sweat a lot, and at most they can earn a few hundred wen a month, if this hundred yuan can really be divided evenly, they can almost each receive an extra month's salary, which is a beautiful thing that no one has imagined.
At this time, the young man who followed Zhong Yuqi was standing in the crowd and talking to another capable young man in a low voice.
"Shaoxiong, I have never seen such a proprietor for many years! Generous, but very comfortable. The young man said with some emotion.
"I followed my father just now, and I heard a few words from the three masters, it seems that this Lin Feng is not small, and the saint today also trusts him very much, ten days ago he was still a white ding, and now he is a fifth-grade official!" Zhong Shaoxiong replied.
"So this person is so capable!" The young man's eyes stared at Lin Feng for a moment.
Seeing that the commotion of the crowd gradually subsided, Lin Feng immediately walked to the wide and heavy stone stele, pointed to the stele and said, "The one who engraved the stele is used to commemorate the chronicle." Lin believes that this unprecedented building naturally needs to be recorded by an inscription. On the front of the stele, Lin is ready to invite Han Xizai Han to write the inscription. And on the back, there will be only you, you who have worked hard for this building. Lin will engrave the name of each of your craftsmen on the back of the stele! β
Inscriptions can be said to be the original records of people and events in the long history of China, and play an irreplaceable role in the study of the historical evolution, political, economic and cultural development of a place. In the more than 2,000 years of inscription history in China, its content involves philosophy, religion, history, geography, economy, politics, military, culture, art, education, science, technology, nationality and many other aspects. Some people even believe that these inscriptions are the "Twenty-four History" engraved in stone. The inscriptions of the Southern Tang Dynasty continued the characteristics of the inscriptions of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and were known for their tall shapes.
What the? At this moment, everyone was stunned, especially Zhong Fan and the others, their eyes were round. Since ancient times, the inscription can have the name of the owner, the writer, and the calligrapher, and I have never heard of a group of stinky workers who can leave their names!
Lin Feng smiled and looked at all the surprised faces in front of him, he knew that this time he was a little idealistic, but he would never regret it.
Yes, it is always said that history is created by the people, but when you open the 24 histories, almost all of the records in it are emperors and generals, and how many names of ordinary people are there? Of course, this is not absolute, in addition to the name of the chaste woman in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there are still some anecdotes that mention the common people. For example, Zheng Wenbao of the Northern Song Dynasty once mentioned a strange woman in the Southern Tang Dynasty very rarely in his book "Jiang Biaozhi": "The Nie woman of Daping County is thirteen, and she picks wages with her mother. The mother fights for the violent tiger, squatting and eating. The woman jumped on the tiger's back with a knife and cut its neck with her hand. The tiger couldn't get rid of it, so he trapped himself and died. The woman gave it up, returned to the villagers, and collected the mother's corpse. "The weak woman strangled a tiger to death in order to avenge her mother, which is a super news that attracts attention, so it can enter the eyes of history writers.
In Lin Feng's heart, he insisted that a truly strong country depended on every dignified citizen. No matter how small my strength is, as long as I am here for a day, I will maintain respect for everyone and every life, and defend the dignity of everyone around me, Lin Feng secretly swore in his heart.
"Lord Lin, what you said is true?" A voice sounded in the crowd, it was the young man next to Zhong Shaoxiong.
"It's true. Lin was originally a Confucian scholar who was worthless and worthless, but Lin firmly believed that each of us, no matter how insignificant, had at least one family on our backs, and we all shouldered the responsibilities and responsibilities for our families and others, and we all shouldered the hopes and ideals of building a better future. I think that we, each and every one of us is a hero, and we should all have our own dignity, so let's start from this stone monument and pick up the dignity and self-confidence of each of us! Lin Feng was also a little excited for a moment, and his voice trembled a little.
"The common people Yan Ruofeng thanked Lord Lin." The man's eyes burst with a gleam and he shook it out.
"Lord Schelling." Several older people at the scene knelt down with a "flutter", and their voices were a little choked.
ββ"Throughout Lin Feng's life, he has consciously or unconsciously followed a principle of equality, that is, respecting everyone. If you have to trace the source, Lin Feng's insistence on carving the names of ordinary craftsmen who built supermarkets into the stone tablet should be regarded as the beginning. But if we observe carefully, it can be said that since Lin Feng knew Chen Fei, Sun Cuo and others, he has been acting in accordance with this principle, which is really admirable! ββExcerpt from the book "Book of the Southern Tang Dynasty" written by Shi Yan, a historian of the Southern Tang Dynasty?
