Chapter 161: I lost!

I left quietly, just as I came quietly.

After witnessing the whole process, Yao Jun and Ma Fei drove away quietly as if they were on the Tathagata. When they walked out of the main hall and out of Wanfu Building, the two of them didn't say a word for a long time.

Ma Biejia's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Because he gritted his teeth too hard and tried too hard, it was obvious that two ridges of flesh rolled up on his back face; Yao Rongfu's expression was slightly better, but after a closer look, he could see that his face was a little red and uneven.

Everything I saw and heard today was contrary to their common sense, but Tang Cheng's method of acting was obviously contrary to common sense, but he achieved shocking results. Now when looking back at the scenes I experienced in the hall just now, Yao Rongfu felt the first shock.

I have been to Jinzhou for some time. As the first of the eight scenic spots of Jinzhou, he has been to Yingyue several times. While sighing that this scene is indeed unique, he never thought that this seemingly lonely pier could be worthy of so many people's pursuit, so that even huge merchants like Zhou Jun and Durah could come from thousands of miles away!

When he arrived at the Sanquan Yingyue Wharf, he hadn't even noticed the beach, so when he heard in the hall that the beaches covered with stone sand were actually priced at 80 guan per acre and Tang Cheng refused to sell them, Yao Rongfu felt a strong illusion.

What's wrong? What's wrong with these people? Could it be that they are not talking about money? It's paper?

Then there was the land acquisition on both sides of the road planned to be built in Jinzhou. Yao Envoy knew that Tang Cheng had completed all the land acquisition work a few days ago. According to the return, Tang Cheng fully fulfilled his promise in the official document during this land acquisition, and was unwilling to exchange all the land for redemption at market prices and traded cash.

When he heard this news, Yao Rongfu was not surprised that Tang Cheng had a strong family background and was cruel and courageous. He thought that Tang Cheng's purpose of doing this was just as he thought that day. Tang Cheng begged all his wealth to build this path was to gain an observation to make the adults appreciate and a chance to get ahead.

For the new master's observation, road construction is the most important thing. Tang Cheng obviously saw this. He did not hesitate to fight for everything and do what he liked. Yes, he is still so young and has a long road in the officialdom. In this way, even if he bets is worth it. With rich family background as support, he will be asked for some in the state government office, and he will be "made a blank line" on money, grain, corvee, and the road is less difficult. Maybe he will succeed and build a road with one person's strength. Such achievements are difficult to be rewarded without being rewarded if you observe.

This is what Yao Envoy made before about Tang Cheng's actions, and he firmly believed that his ideas would not be wrong, because he really could not find a second possibility. When he figured these out in the office that day, Yao Rongfu was already impressed by Tang Cheng. With his age, it was rare to be able to do such a big thing and make such a decision.

However, until today, it was not until just now that Yao Envoy realized that he was wrong, and the wrong land was outrageous. He used the roads between Fangzhou and Jinzhou to release the value of the docks and raise the land price of the river beaches. Then he used the money from renting and selling the docks to make land acquisition fees when building roads. After the land was collected, the fields on both sides of the road that was destined to be extremely prosperous were "auctioned" to those merchants to repair inns, wine shops, tea shops, and goods shops...

This is a circle. Speaking of which, Tang Cheng did not invest a penny in it. He used all the land to be other people's money. He used other people's money to raise the land acquisition price of the docks, riverside land and roadside to an astonishing height. He bought it at a low price and then sold it at a high price. The difference between the docks and more than 1,000 acres of roadside land was enough for him to build two or even three roads.

I remembered the scene where many merchants in the main hall were bidding prices just now. Thinking about the fact that Tang Cheng had been short of money and food before, Yao Rongfu, who had been walking silently, showed a wry smile of his own loss. Tang Cheng is short of money now, and just build a dozen miles long road. Judging from his posture just now, he could not spend all the huge amount of money he had gathered.

Shocked and moved. After losing his emotions, Yao Rongfu, who gradually calmed down, thought of Tang Cheng again, and what suddenly emerged in his heart was not only a slight fear after being amazed.

What surprised him was Tang Cheng's grasp of the general trend of Shandong East Road. "Momentum" was mysterious, but for Yao Envoy, who had been in the imperial city for a long time, he knew clearly from the changes in personnel and ups and downs of the court for many years that the ability to grasp "Momentum" and determine the fundamental reason that an official's career can eventually reach.

With the age of Tang Chengdi, it is enough to be amazing to show this. The series of specific operations he made after making a decision can be shocking. From the dock to the river beach, to the auction of fields on both sides of the road and the rich gathering in front of him, it is very confusing, one by one, one by one. When looking back on the whole process again, Yao Rongfu thought of only eight words: turning his hands into clouds, turning his hands into rain.

Tang Cheng's series of operation methods are unknown. Lord Jun, who claims to be a well-read book, is very sure of this. This means that everything he saw and heard was thought of by Tang Cheng himself, and this is why Yao Rongfu actually felt the terrifying.

How wise and close to demons!

Tang Cheng showed his grasp of "momentum", decision-making and specific ability to act in the road construction in Jinzhou. Thinking of his age, it is the best interpretation of the meaning of the four words "many wisdom is close to demons".

When he muttered these four words, Yao Rongfu's hands were clenched together. He really wanted to destroy Tang Cheng. This was not only a little fear and jealousy from the dark psychology, but also because of his anger and the anger that was fooled, he was fooled by Tang Cheng. To this day, Yao Envoy has clearly realized this.

As the governor of a state, he was fooled by a minor official. What's ridiculous is that he had always thought he was able to make up his mind. Combined with these two things, Yao Rongfu, who really understood, was not less angry at this time than the horses around him.

However, in the end, Lord Jun slowly let go of his tightly clenched hands. Although he wanted to destroy Tang Cheng, reality made him realize that he could not do so at all and could not do so.

Tang Cheng is no longer the Tang Cheng he remembers. With the "military order" that seems to be purely a cocoon, the result of the road construction in Jinzhou this time has basically been finalized. If there is room for reversal in this matter, then Tang Cheng's friendship has forced Yao Envoy to be afraid. Judging from his experience just now, not only is there someone behind Tang Cheng, but the identity of that person is definitely not low.

I am wise and close to monsters. I have observations on it to make it appreciate by adults, and I have a strong backer behind it. A folk proverb says: Don’t bully the old, let alone the "younger" of Tang Cheng.

He sighed a long and helplessly, and Yao Rongfu, who had just gotten on the carriage, finally broke his silence. "Dongyang, after going to the yamen in the afternoon, let the Sihu and the two Caoshu judges of the Sihu to come to see me. It is urgent to allocate money, grain and labor quotas to Tang Cheng."

"Sir", Ma Dongyang's expression changed when he heard this, "Tang Cheng's son ignores the state yamen so much, can we let him do this?"

"What if I don't do this?" Yao Rongfu replied casually, feeling a little desolate.

"The pier, river beach, and the fields on both sides of the road. As long as the adults are interested, there is still a way..."

"It's too late, it's too late, it's already like this. Tang Cheng and the rich merchants have prospered and lost. After all, these people are not small vendors selling Hu cakes on the street. How can a Jinzhou Prefecture Office resist their joint counterattack? Besides, Tang Cheng..." At this point, Yao Rongfu, who spoke in a bleak manner, said nothing more.

"It's just a group of profit-seekers..."

Seeing that he had already said so clearly, Ma Dongyang still couldn't understand it, and Yao Rongfu was already in a bad mood suddenly felt a little irritable, "Forget it, there is no need to discuss this matter again, let's do it according to my official's words."

After waving his hand and saying this, Yao Rongfu got on the carriage. While sending down the curtain, Lord Jun muttered to himself as he looked at Ma Dongyang, who was dark and angry with his face below, "Idiot!".

After watching Yao Rongfu's carriage go far away, Ma Dongyang also whispered in a low voice: "A timid fence-bearing girl as a mouse!"

In the afternoon of the same day, Sitian and Sicang and the two judges of Sicang were stunned to witness the first time since they took office, locating the official warehouse and checking the labor service quota. Niu Gongming and the others, who were worried, thought that this was Yao Rongfu's intention to take over them. In the end, they suddenly realized that the purpose of the mission of the envoy was to prepare money, grain and labor service quota for Tang Cheng.

When Niu Gongming and the others exchanged a wink when they heard the envoy say this decisively. They were surprised and confused. What was going on?

Then when the frightened and surprised two people ran to the Mabiaozhu office, they did not get a word from the Mabiaozhu except for the dark face that could crush people.

Walking out of the office where Ma Bianzhu, Niu Gongming and his two lamented: What's wrong with Tang Cheng? Why does things always change in the end every time they meet him? It seems that there is no hope for this military officer to be the military!

That night, because the order of Yao Envoy was too urgent and the limited time was too short, Sitian Cao and Si Cang Cao had to work overnight, while Tang Cheng was socializing with the merchants in Wanfu Building. After a whole day of bargaining, he finally made up the finalization of the matters before the dinner, so the atmosphere of the dinner seemed particularly good.

On the second day, Sitian and Sicang continued to fight, while Tang Cheng was busy seeing off guests. At the same time, notices of Jinzhou's road construction and hiring workers were also widely distributed to the suburbs and four counties.

On the morning of the third day, Tang Cheng bid farewell to Durah, Zhou Jun and Zhang Liang at the ten-mile long pavilion outside Jinzhou City.

What Durahe is obsessed with is the matter of Chunzhou. "Don't worry, even if my friendship with Sun Jun is unreliable, he cannot ignore Zheng Shibo's letter to the land." At this point, Tang Cheng lowered his voice and said, "Brother, I rely on you more this time. Brother, I will give you a clear idea. Now, Sun Jun leans on the ground behind the ground, Shangguan Zhaorong, this matter is still the thread that I tied to. Now, whether it is public or private, I and I are all prosperous, and this matter will not leave you without a place. You should always feel at ease."

"Okay!" Durah's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he patted Tang Chengdi's shoulder heavily, "I didn't have a fight with you brother."

The farewell to Zhou Jun is much simpler. After all, the two are close together and easy to interact. What is more important is that they have a similar heart. After these days, they have a sense of appreciation for each other. At this time, there is no need to say more words. When they bow their hands and smile, they already know their feelings.

When he arrived at Zhang Liang's place, he specifically signaled Tang Cheng and the others to walk aside.

"Acheng, do you really want to go to the capital?" After these days of familiarity, Zhang Liang's name also changed from Tang Cheng to the more intimate "Acheng". Tang Cheng was not careful that he said such words again. He was stunned and smiled and shook his head, "It was not until these two days that I had figured out the entire road construction matter. Acheng, you are really a genius in business affairs. You are born to be useful, and this is your own words."

This operation is well known to everyone in later generations. A genius! Zhang Liang's praise really made Tang Cheng ashamed, "The same sentence, I think about change at the extreme. The so-called talent is just to use more thoughts than others. This is true for me personally. I am the same as road construction. I really don't have such praise from Brother Zhang. As for the capital, I always have to go to the land sooner or later, but now I can't leave it even if I want to leave. Besides, I really have no intention of doing business with merchants. Please let Brother Zhang explain this to His Highness the Prince."

"Forget it!" Zhang Liang shook his head helplessly when he heard this, "If you don't want it, don't want it, but Acheng, you need to write a document for the detailed process of the road construction matter. It's incredible! The third young master will definitely be very interested in this matter."

Without waiting for Tang Cheng to say anything, Zhang Liang continued: "No refusal to say this matter! I am waiting in Beijing."

"Okay", Tang Cheng could only nod.

Seeing this, Zhang Liang laughed, patted Tang Cheng on the shoulder and got in the car.

After seeing off these three people, Tang Cheng, who had been busy for the past two days, had just returned home. Before he could sit down and eat a cup of tea, he saw the doorman Lao Gao leading a servant from the state yamen in, saying that the envoy would invite him.

"What's the matter with the envoy Yao looking for me?" He walked all the way until he walked into Yao Rongfudi's office. He didn't understand what Lao Yao was looking for him.

So, when Yao Envoy, who had a gentle face, reported a large number of money, grain and labor quotas, and stated that this was for him to use for road construction. Tang Cheng's reaction was no different from Niu Gongming the day before yesterday, except for being surprised, he was still surprised!

From the repeated shirks before, I am now generous and generous. Even the chameleon is not as fast as Yao Envoy. What's wrong with this?

Looking at Tang Cheng with a surprised look, Yao Rongfu felt much better, and the smile on his face became more and more harmonious. "Tang Cheng, you know what kind of family the State Department is. I have done my best to raise so much money, grain and corvee quota. You must do your best to build the road."

"yes".

"Well, I heard that you have completed the land acquisition and started hiring workers the day before yesterday?" Seeing Tang Cheng nodding, Yao Rongfu made a gesture of praise, "Okay! Recently, the prefectural yamen needs to report to the Observation Office to submit official documents. I will report to the observation office that the road construction in Jinzhou is going smoothly. Tang Cheng, you can do it well. If you encounter any difficult things, just come to me, and I will definitely make the decision for you." The last two sentences, Yao Rongfu said that it is extremely heroic, and there is still a little "simple and inaction"?

Lao Yao is trying to seize merit! Tang Cheng understood what he meant. Seeing that everything was going well in front of him, Lao Yao finally took action. In addition to his position as the governor, his capital for robbing merit was the money, grain and labor quota. Although he could not even build one third of the things he gave, as long as he gave me, when the Jinzhou Road was completed, he could not avoid him as the chief official. He could not observe and even praise him for being able to understand the general situation and take the overall situation into consideration!

After understanding this, Tang Cheng had to sigh in his heart that Lao Yao is worthy of being a place in the imperial city for many years. Although his governance is mediocre, when it comes to watching the style and grasping the opportunity to seize the merits, he has reached the point of perfection!

After coming out of Yao's office, Tang Cheng looked at the paper document in his hand that approved the money, grain and corvee quota, and unexpectedly remembered the bank of later generations: When you are really anxious to use money to borrow money, it will not say anything; but when you are rich and do not lack money, the bank takes the initiative to send the money to your door and encourage you to lend.

Although it took more than 1,300 years, Yao's actions at this time were similar to those of the local banks in later generations.

"Just give it, give it." Tang Cheng shook the official document in his hand vigorously, and smiled and said, "I'm not afraid that I will bite my hand if I have too much money."

He had both money, food, and labor service quota. He also had clear support from the first person in this state. The situation of building roads in a sad and tranquil manner suddenly changed.

The money and grain in the rear are guaranteed. The specific construction ahead is supervised by the four experts from the Ministry of Works. Cooperating with these four places, Feng Haizhou and Zhang Xiangwen, who are trustworthy, when the road construction really started, Tang Cheng, who should have been extremely busy, lived a easier life than he had in the previous few days.

Time passed day by day in the busy road construction. On this day, Tang Cheng, covered in dust, returned home from the construction site, and followed him were Feng Haizhou and Zhang Xiangwen, who were also covered in dust.

It was already mid-spring, and after a simple washing, the three of them sat on the stone table in the yard and talked.

"Haizhou, second brother, what you said just now is ultimately one sentence." Tang Cheng poured tea for the two of them, while continuing the topic on the road: "It's not okay to do so many people together. I remember a sentence I often heard in the village when I was a child: There are so many people who are good at eating buns, and there are few people who are good at working."

Hearing this sentence from Tang Cheng's mouth, Zhang Xiangwen, who had just taken a sip of tea, couldn't help laughing. "Brother, you said it's the opposite."

"How can I go against it?! The more people there are, the easier it is to work together. If you work less, you will eat the same amount of steamed buns at the end of your work. Isn't this just that there are so many people that you can eat steamed buns! On the contrary, if there are fewer people, you will not be able to make it."

"The adults said that the earth is in charge." Feng Haizhou was answered, "But there are fewer passers-by and there are no way to build people."

"Segment". Tang Cheng slapped the teacup in his hand on the stone table, "From tomorrow, all the road construction participants will be divided into groups of fifty people, and each group will let them choose a team to come out. When dispatching workers, the road section will be finer, one team will be divided into sections, and every day, the amount they must complete, and the land they need to work more than this amount will be calculated as a reward. As for the payment of wages, it will no longer be specific to the person, and it will be given to the team leader. Who in his group does more, who should do less, who should win the prize, and who should deduct it, will be his decision. In this way, we just need to keep an eye on the quality of their work. So we don't have to be supervisors every day and do all the things that are bullshit."

Another incredible and unprecedented method. Fortunately, Feng Haizhou has been following Tang Cheng these days and has long been accustomed to his imagination and various amazing actions. He did not show too much surprise, but just asked hesitantly, "Is this okay?"

"Try it." Although he was talking about it, Tang Cheng's tone was extremely confident. If he wanted to break the big pot and mobilize people's enthusiasm, he could only rely on the contract system. This is a truth that has been repeatedly proved by historical practice in later generations and cannot be difficult to do.

After thinking silently for a while, Zhang Xiangwen suddenly said loudly, "I think it's OK." After a startled, he still refused to live a peaceful life. He stood up and came to Tang Cheng to look left and right.

"What are you doing again?" Tang Cheng asked angrily.

"I just want to see how your head is, brother," Zhang Xiangwen smiled and said, "How could he come up with such unprecedented good ideas that are amazing, but they are so amazing."

When Tang Cheng was about to speak, Lao Gao walked in at the door and reported that a scholar named Liu from the state school was invited to see him.

"Subject to Liu?" When Tang Cheng heard this, he looked at Zhang Xiangwen, and they said in unison: "Liu Suifeng!"

With Tang Cheng's order, Liu Suifeng walked in from outside with the doorman Lao Gao.

Since leaving the Garden Cultural Conference that day, Tang Cheng has not seen Liu Suifeng again for several months.

After a few months of sight, Liu Suifeng, who was already handsome, was still dressed in white and better than snow. He walked in from outside, and was full of indescribable charm and charm in the mid-spring sun.

Seeing Liu Suifeng like this, Zhang Xiangwen beside Tang Cheng snorted coldly.

Regarding this, Liu Suifeng seemed to have not heard it, and he didn't even turn his eyes to Zhang Xiangwen. "Last year, today, you and I made an appointment for the next year in front of the Wanfu Temple in Yunxi. Today's appointment date has arrived. Brother Tang, I'll make the appointment."

"It's been a year." Tang Cheng raised his head and looked around. Isn't it? When the two made a contract last year, it was mid-spring when the pear blossoms in Wanfu Temple were in full bloom. The flowers fell and bloomed for another year, and now it's mid-spring again.

This year, Tang Cheng has done many things and his own situation has changed a lot. In contrast, his life is busy and he rarely has a break. Because he is busy, it becomes increasingly difficult to feel the passage of time. At this moment, he received the reminder of Liu Suifeng, and he suddenly realized that time is like water, and it is mid-spring again!

After Liu Suifeng finished saying that, he looked at Tang Cheng quietly.
Chapter completed!
