Chapter 717: Lost Opportunity to Earn Silver
According to Ye Xinyan's idea, first of all, the loss of the project needs to be large enough, or sensational enough, so that the court or the emperor cannot ignore it, and arouse their anger enough, so that there is a reason to find out the mastermind.
In this case, it is necessary to use a tolerant attitude and a relaxed environment to let the traitors sent in by the opponent play to their heart's content, so as to cause losses, so as to deal a heavy blow to the opponent and give them a fatal blow.
Of course, the premise is that the mole or these moles need to be under their own control.
Jinrong figured out the joints, looked at Ye Xinyan for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "I didn't expect Ye Zi's hand to be quite dark, I have always underestimated you." ”
These words seem to be suspected of costing the money of the court and the hard work of the people in order to achieve the goal.
Thinking of this, Ye Xinyan was a little embarrassed and defended: "Rail engineering is different from building houses and pavilions. What I mean by this is to keep the problematic track within a certain range, and I don't intend to ruin the entire rail transportation project. ”
Jin Rong saw that she was a little anxious, and sneered: "Of course, it is good to be able to control the scope of the disaster, do you really want to burn all the eight hundred miles of track." ”
Ye Xinyan was not stupid, of course she could see that Jinrong was deliberately ridiculing her, and the embarrassment on her face immediately turned into shame.
Qi Younian didn't understand what Ye Xinyan meant, but after listening to the two of them answering back and forth a few times, he vaguely understood what they meant.
I was still shocked by my granddaughter's amazing proposal, but when I saw that my granddaughter was provoked by King Yu, there were signs of urgency, and she hurriedly interjected: "Say it well, say it well, don't be anxious, isn't it still talking about business." Sixth master, since the imperial court has arranged the errand, I don't know when the construction will start, where is the specific road section, and how much labor is planned to be recruited? ”
In addition to the need to pay various taxes and silver to the imperial court, the common people also have a very important obligation to serve. Generally speaking, as long as it is a project of the imperial court, in addition to a few court officials, there are also a small number of craftsmen who have mastered the craft and skills, and the vast majority of the labor is solved by sending the people to serve in labor.
Qi Younian laid the track in Taolin, put all the manpower of the entire construction line and machinery workshop into it, and hired many small workers, and it took nearly a year to complete the project.
The imperial court's track project, known as the 800-mile track, required huge manpower and material resources. In this era without mechanization, it is not too much to say that such a project requires crowd tactics.
As an old craftsman who led the engineering team, Qi Younian naturally knew the role of labor in the project. And he also knew that the recruitment of labor was the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry, that is, King Yu's potential opponent - King Fu.
If this project really asked him to do it, he was really worried that King Fu would get in the way and cause trouble for him in terms of employment. Contracting the projects of the imperial court can indeed make a stable amount of money. But if the project of the imperial court is delayed, it will be punished.
Jinrong didn't worry about this, he said: "There's no need to worry about this, you guys are my subordinates after all." As I said earlier, laying tracks is not a fat problem, let alone what I want to take. If the Ministry of Engineering is a hindrance, I just want to stop doing it. I'm an unobtrusive prince who goes out open-mindedly, and King Fu has been in business for so many years, but he doesn't dare to pick a son. ”
Jinrong said, called Hongzhi who was waiting outside, brought the documents sent by the imperial court, handed them to Qi Younian, and said: "Old man, take a look at this first, tomorrow I will bring the construction documents, as well as the rail line from Jiangbei Prefecture to Southern Zhejiang, you will look familiar with it first." ”
Jinrong paused, and then asked, "Wang Qiao is not here, will the old man be short of manpower here?" Otherwise, let Zhang Chang and Zhao Qiusheng come over tomorrow. Come over early, and follow the leaves to familiarize yourself with the wooden tracks. ”
Zhang Chang and Zhao Qiusheng were the fortification officials of Yuwangfu, and they were the first two to follow Wang Qiao and Ye Xinyan to do fortifications in Qinghe Village. Later, Ye Xinyan sent Zhang Chang to Guanyuan County to preside over the construction of a cattle farm and a dairy workshop.
As soon as Ye Xinyan heard that these two were going to follow her to familiarize herself with track construction, she immediately thought that what Jinrong said about familiarity is the meaning of learning, right? So, can it be counted as an apprentice?
As soon as her eyes rolled half a circle, Jinrong sank her face and said, "Don't tell me about fees, if the old man doesn't need it, there are still many places in my house that need to be repaired, so they won't use it." ”
Eh, Ye Xinyan sighed secretly, such a good opportunity to make money...... Alas, "What is the sixth master talking about, where is the little woman like that?" I just want to thank you, Sixth Master, for your compassion for those of us who do things. Since you don't have to thank the sixth master, the little woman won't say much. Ye Xinyan said that the scenery was very calm.
Jin Rong stagnated for a while, this cunning woman, the bend turned fast! He made a mistake and lost such a good opportunity to gain the upper hand in front of Ye Xinyan. He should wait for her to say the words of the fraud, and then block her back.
Ye Xinyan said those words, but she was very angry in her heart. If Wang Qiao hadn't gone undercover for them, how could her family be short of people? If there is no shortage of people, how can he be blocked by Jinrong with such words and lose the opportunity to make money?
In other words, since An Guogong recognized her identity, she doesn't seem to have been left behind.
Jinrong seemed to know what she was thinking, and said to herself: "The matter of the year ago, if the Ministry of Industry hadn't paid that much silver, Wang Qiao's mother must have no reason to think that her son was treated unfairly." ”
Damn! Ye Xinyan glanced at Jinrong angrily, "Anyway, Wang Qiao always does things for you!" ”
In vain, she also thought that Jinrong was a very generous and trustworthy person to some extent, but it turned out that this was not the case at all.
Saying such things in this tone is not something that a generous person can do at all.
Although Wang Qiao didn't leave the Qi family because he needed to do internal response, he had no reason to be jealous that she earned three thousand taels of silver from the Ministry of Industry, and the reason why Wang Qiao left was that he had a superb mother, okay?
Jinrong was very disdainful and no longer accepted Ye Xinyan's words, and calmly continued to explain the project to Qi Younian, making Ye Xinyan angry enough. Look at how bad Jiang Yifan's eyesight is, he actually made a bad friend like Jinrong!
…………
Ancient times are not like modern times, and in ancient times, things like maps were not allowed to wander among the people. The same is true for the route and location of the tracks, and the details of the project can only be handed over to them after the construction of the building has received the formal assignment.
This track is an interchange line from Jiangbei Prefecture to southern Zhejiang, which is said to be 800 miles, but if you consider the twists and turns caused by the terrain twists and turns, I am afraid it will take thousands of miles.
