After continuing to receive ten officials left behind in the empire, Ah Heng's compassion had been exhausted. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info so much so that when the eleventh walked in, Ah Heng was too lazy to look up, and directly picked up the Duke's seal and covered three pieces of white paper and handed it over.

Cao Jian's face next to him had already turned into black charcoal, and this young duke really knew all over the world! Seeing that everyone was very close to him, all the officials who came to cry about everything were handed out white paper with the duke's seal. He believed that it wouldn't be long before this thing would have to keep up with the depreciation of the Imperial Bright Coins.

In this regard, Ah Heng was unconscious, and repeated in his mouth: "I understand the difficulties of your department, take it away...... Huh-?" Ah Heng looked surprised, "Old Fu, why are you here too?"

The person who came was Fu Ansheng, the president of the Imperial Capital Construction Guild.

Fu Ansheng looked embarrassed, rubbed his hands and said, "My lord, Chief Li Hemp informed me yesterday that you have something to do with me...... But...... If...... Will you give me a few ...... Okay—" He stammered, and stepped forward shyly, reaching for the three blank sheets of paper.

Ah Heng sneered in his heart and took it back directly. He had seen through this guy's face so well that he had wasted his expression more than once for his pathetic situation—it was a waste for this guy not to make up stories!

Ah Heng looked kind: "Old rich, it's useless for you to take this thing, so you don't have to fight with those poor people!"

Fu Ansheng was greedy, how could it be useless! I wanted to ask for a seal with all my tongue, but now this thing was distributed like papyrus by the young duke. And also...... Are those poor people? I don't know how much cold eyes I suffered just now outside the door, and in the eyes of these officials, this businessman is no better than the prostitutes in the Qinglou!

Ah Heng looked at the other party as if he was in mourning, and it was not good to discourage the other party's enthusiasm too much, so he raised the white paper in his hand and said, "You, you, you just can't get rid of the bad habit of being greedy for small and cheap." Last time, you spent half a day grinding with me for 500,000 gold coins -- look, is this thing the same as the one I gave you?"

Fu Ansheng cried with a sad face: "No way, the villain was born poor, hungry and full since he was a child, no one loves him, no one ......loves him" He wiped his tears while looking at the three blank papers, and muttered in his heart: Isn't it different? The seal doesn't look like it's fake!

Ah Heng's head hurt for a while: "Who told you to see the seal? Didn't you find out that I gave you parchment, and this is just a piece of papyrus? I will soon issue a decree to strictly restrict the use of this papyrus -- well, in general, it will only represent a sacred and great honor!"

Tomiyasu suddenly realized that he was ashamed of his "villain's heart"! However, he soon discovered the great collectible value of his parchment, and perhaps at some point in the future, it would become a life-saving treasure! Tomiyasu decided to go back and immediately fold the parchment and put it under the third green brick in his bedroom -- this is a treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Ah Heng was very satisfied with Fu Ansheng's attitude, and leaned on the back of the chair comfortably and said: "Old Fu, they are all their own people, don't just stand, sit down!

Tomiyasu smiled shyly and thanked him, and sat down with his fat ass next to the edge of the chair, looking indescribably awkward.

Ah Heng didn't persuade him either, saving this mole-like guy from being suspicious again!

Ah Heng said: "Old Fu, how are things going?"

Fu Ansheng bowed slightly: "Lord Duke, the villain is about to report to you." Our construction guild has united 14 commercial banks, and it is estimated that 8 billion gold coins will be invested to complete the leveling of the damaged areas of the imperial capital, as well as the reconstruction of roads, water supply, and sewage facilities, in about half a year. ”

Ah Heng nodded: "It's not bad, but there are priorities, and water supply should be the priority!

Fu Ansheng: "Returning to my lordship, according to the clues provided by my lordship, I arranged for people to explore in the Orc Proton Mansion overnight, and there is indeed an underground river with extremely abundant water nearby, and the strata are very shallow, and the mining cost is not high--but it is adjacent to the Imperial Chamber...... Mountain."

Ah Heng waved his hand: "It's okay, let's solve the urgent need first." There are a lot of people in Beicheng District, and the water supply facilities are not very damaged, so the water flow will be diverted first, and once people know about it, they will try to get water from Beicheng. In addition, you arrange for people to continue to search for other sources of water. ”

Tomiyasu: "Your Excellency is wise!"

Ah Heng saw that Fu Ansheng wanted to speak and stopped, and he didn't urge. He knew that when the fat man's play was enough, he would naturally say it. Acting has become this guy's instinct -

Sure enough, Fu Ansheng looked entangled, and sighed three times before he rubbed and said: "My lord, the villain has a reluctant request, I don't know...... You...... When will the first construction payment be made?"

Ah Heng looked at the other party with a smile, and saw Fu Ansheng's heart furious, before he said slowly: "Why?

Fu Ansheng's face turned pale, and he quickly stood up: "My lord, you have misunderstood! I, Fu Ansheng, am naturally the only one who is the first to look forward, but other business houses ......."

Ah Heng interrupted the other party's words, and Zhengse said: "Don't worry! The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, and tomorrow at the latest, I will allocate the funds in place——"

Fu Ansheng hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Lord Xie!"

Ah Heng shook his head: "Okay, it's all my own brothers, don't do this, hurry up!

Fu Ansheng quickly stood up and said embarrassedly: "My lord, you continue-"

Ah Heng: "Just now you said that it is estimated that you will need to invest 8 billion gold coins, and you have united 14 commercial banks?"

Tomiyasu: "Adults have a good memory!"

Ah Heng: "Old rich, I think this budget is a bit ...... It's too conservative! I need to at least triple it—"

Fu Ansheng: "Ah?!" He was confused, this ...... Is this the sun rising in the west?

Ah Heng: "After careful consideration, I think the final budget should be around 30 billion gold coins...... Ah Heng remembered Li Hemp's estimate of the treasury reserves, and after pondering for a while, he gave another eight percent discount before saying this figure. However, before he finished speaking, he saw-

Tomiyasu fell to his knees with a puff, his face pale and soaking wet, as if he had just been fished out of the water. I only heard him crying: "Adult, there is an eighty old lady on the small one, and a son who is waiting to be fed, you can let the villain go......"

Ah Heng's face was dark, what did this guy think of him? Is he like that kind of shameless person who has a sweet mouth and a sword, worships yang and disobeys, and oppresses the good?

Ah Heng: "Okay, get up, things are not as complicated as you think!"

Fu Ansheng did not relent: "My lord, if the villain is not the villain, I will go back to discuss with other business houses and reduce the budget by one percent, my lord, this is already the bottom line, it is impossible to be less!"

Ah Heng gritted his teeth with hatred, slammed the table, and said angrily: "Get up, listen to me! Look at your little bit of interest-a little money scares you like that--I'm so disappointed in you."

Fu Ansheng was taken aback, and hurriedly stood up tremblingly, secretly looking at the young duke in front of him, and saw that the other party did not seem to have the intention of harming him, so he relaxed a little.

Ah Heng took out a piece of paper from his arms, which was densely covered with words, and handed it to the fat man who was trembling and swaying.

Fu Ansheng glanced at it and saw that it was full of names, and he was puzzled.

Ah Heng: "Old Fu, I think there are two shortcomings in your plan just now. First of all, you didn't take into account the extreme scarcity of manpower after the catastrophe in the imperial capital, especially the scarcity of useful talents-"

Fu Ansheng pouted secretly, is there a scarcity? Your old man favors those stinky beggars, and requires that the hired workers must include 20 percent of the beggars, and after those poor people heard about this, the beggars in the imperial capital more than doubled overnight, and now the number is as high as 70,000 or 80,000, accounting for nearly forty percent of the population of the imperial capital.

Ah Heng ignored the other party's slander and continued to teach: "The lack of manpower and the scarcity of talents will inevitably lead to a skyrocketing salary for employees, and this will also directly push up the reconstruction budget - you may have missed this point!"

Fu Ansheng hurriedly cleaned up his dissatisfaction, revealing a look of admiration on his face: "My lord's opinion! If it weren't for the adult's guidance, the villain would have ...... I almost hurt myself!"

Ah Heng: "Therefore, you must greatly increase your human budget, and you have to think more deeply about this!"

Tomiyasu immediately turned to a thoughtful expression, as if he was really thinking carefully about the matter of "human budget". From time to time, he glanced at the paper in his hand and said worriedly: "My lord, but it is easy to get a thousand armies and it is difficult to find one. As long as ordinary manpower is willing to spend money, he can always find it, but this talent is a matter of - alas - difficult!"

Ah Heng secretly said smartly! continued: "I have already thought about this for you. What you have in your hands right now is the talent you urgently need for this reconstruction—"

Fu Ansheng looked at the dense words on the paper in his hand, and it turned out to be all names! His heart was bitter, but his face showed appreciation, as if he had a pair of discerning eyes, and could see the imperial genius behind each name through the crooked handwriting!

Fu Ansheng: "The adults are thoughtful, but the villains are far behind." My lord, I don't know who these talents are-?"

Ah Heng's ground turned red rarely: "Uh--they are all my personal soldiers, one of the ten thousand capable people, the so-called civil ability to govern the country, military ability to secure the country, can be called the mainstay of the empire! It's just that they are busy with affairs on weekdays-"

Fu Ansheng immediately understood: "Your Excellency doesn't have to worry, you high-ranking talents only need to occasionally send a representative to take the time to give a point or two, the so-called one-word thousand gold, it is said that such a high-level talent! I don't know how much you think your high-level talents' salary is appropriate?"

Ah Heng pretended to groan: "Well, I don't think it needs to be too much, just 100,000 gold coins per person, just pay it off at once!"

Fu Ansheng gasped, looking at the huge piece of paper in his hand, I am afraid that there are thousands of people, which means ...... 1000000000 ...... The cost of 100 million gold coins is as high as 100 million gold coins! The Duke really has a good appetite! This is a clear attempt to make money from the reconstruction project!

Ah Heng said, "As for the beggars I ask you to hire, I hope that you can choose some of them and train them to master the art of construction. It can also be regarded as giving them a subsistence craft. ”

Fu Ansheng was stunned, but what he thought was not so simple. Could it be that the Duke had other cities to build? Otherwise, how could he suddenly care about the cultivation of construction talents? He didn't think that the young Duke in front of him was really overflowing with love for beggars.

Without waiting for him to think clearly, he only heard Ah Heng say again: "In addition, there is another shortcoming in the original budget, just now you said that you united fourteen commercial houses, I think it is very inappropriate." The reconstruction of the imperial capital is imminent, and the power must be single-minded. So I think I should give you a separate part of the budget for the consolidation of the fourteen comptoirs—"

Fu Ansheng couldn't help but tremble all over—but this time, he was too excited!

Ah Heng said meaningfully: "This burden is very heavy, you have to be prepared!"

Fu Ansheng looked at Ah Heng's eyes, his heart tightened, obviously the other party's request was not just as simple as making money! But Fu Ansheng also knew that this was also a rare opportunity for him, and if it worked well, he could even rely on the young duke in front of him to get rid of the humble merchant status and become a nobleman. Now that the other party's olive branch has been thrown, the key is how he chooses? But can he really choose? He has already boarded the thief ship!

Fu Ansheng thought about it in an instant, and the whole person immediately fell to the ground: "Adults, please rest assured, the villain will definitely live up to the trust of the adults, and the villain only wishes to be a cow and a horse for the adults in this life." But ......"

Heng: "But what-?"

Fu Ansheng: "But the villain has a request - if you leave the imperial capital one day, please be sure to bring your little family with you!"

Ah Heng stared at the fat man kneeling on the ground, and sighed in his heart: This is a really smart person!

Ah Heng Wen said: "Don't worry, as long as I Li Wuheng has a bite to eat, I will definitely not let them suffer the slightest grievance." It's just you-I'm afraid you need to be careful......"

Fu Ansheng: "Adults don't have to worry about villains! We businessmen have a saying that if we have double the profit, it is worth taking the risk; if we have ten times the profit, we can defy the king's law; if we have a hundred times the profit, we will trample on everything in the world; if it is a thousand times more profit, we are even willing to be slaves of the devil -- money is sometimes the same force for self-preservation!"

Ah Heng smiled, it was rare for the other party to be so honest! He pondered for a moment before he said: "You may have a point, but I still hope that between us, it's not just about interests......

Fu Ansheng's expression was extremely calm: "The love of adults, the five inner feelings of villains." However, the villain thinks that this is the only way to be the safest for adults-" He paused, then smiled sadly: "Actually, my lord, you don't have to take us merchants too seriously, since ancient times, we merchants have been the most disadvantaged group of people......

Ah Heng smiled slightly, got up to help the other party, stared at the other party's eyes and said, "Don't worry, old man, you won't be just a businessman forever!" )
