Fu Song

Chapter 417
In many cases, the collection of corvee and large-scale projects will be an excellent opportunity for some gluttons to make a fortune, and it will also be a disaster that ordinary people will avoid.

Because for them, one bad thing is that their families will be destroyed.

But for Xiao Cheng, a large-scale construction project invested by the government is an excellent opportunity to boost the local economy.

Things must be good things.

It depends on who will host and who will do it.

In other people's opinion, it is probably a bad thing that brings misfortune to the people, but in his case, everyone can get some benefits from it, and finally achieve a happy ending for all parties to win.

Guizhou Lu appeases the yamen to be located in Guiyang. At the same time, Guiyang Mansion is also established, and large-scale construction projects are carried out in Guiyang to build cities, official residences, houses, and roads.

In Xiao Cheng's huge plan, the entire construction period is as long as five years, and the investment has reached tens of millions.

The entire Guizhou Road was divided into twelve state capitals by Xiao Cheng, and each state capital was responsible for a one-month construction period, and the labor force required for each time ranged from [-] to [-] people.For some people, the government only provides food and shelter, but not wages.That is, the corvee that the serious people need to serve.

And the other group of people who are stationed here for construction are craftsmen with special skills. These people are recruited by the pacifier's yamen. During the construction period, they have a fixed salary. There are different fields and salaries. The highest is more than ten guan a month, and the least is four or five guan.

And there is another discount for these craftsmen, they can buy a house at half price in the new city after it is completed, and then take root in this new city.

Craftsmen are very popular wherever they are.

On the newly established Guizhou Road, there is a shortage of craftsmen with special skills.And it is even more inconspicuous when it is scattered all over the place.

Xiao Cheng's move is also to gather all these craftsmen together. Only after they have a scale can they maximize their abilities.

The generous remuneration will not only attract craftsmen from Guizhou Road, Xiao Cheng even hopes that he can also recruit such outstanding talents from other places.

After all, it is not a one-time thing to cultivate technical talents by oneself, but it is very fast to poach people's corners. As long as the salary is in place, Xiao Cheng will be able to establish a place similar to Bianliang Craftsman's Camp here very soon.

A large number of outstanding talents gather in one place, stimulating and competing with each other, which will inevitably promote faster technological progress.

And Xiao Cheng is the kind of person who is full of longing for the emergence of any new technology.

He has never been stingy in giving generous rewards to these people.

More importantly, the concentration of these artisans here is an invisible weakening of the locality, and the effect of strong stems and weak branches will be greatly reflected.

Just like now, craftsmen from Bozhou, Sizhou and other places have begun to gather here in Guiyang Prefecture on a large scale.However, under such grandiose policies, the Bozhou Yang family and the Sizhou Tian family are not easy to stop them in the open, and they can only increase their bargaining chips in secret, and strongly invite those skilled masters to stay in the local area.

Xiao Cheng didn't think anything different about such overt and covert tricks. On the contrary, he thought it was a good thing, because in this way, these craftsmen would definitely be able to get better treatment, and it would definitely motivate them even more. Innovation based on technology can get better returns.

"Once the news gets out, craftsmen from all over the surrounding areas will inevitably want to run to us, and these places will inevitably block us. Not to mention that the imperial court treats us differently now, even out of the maintenance of local interests, they will not I will just sit back and watch these artisans leave this place." Luo Gang said.

"It won't work outright, but it won't work in secret!" Xiao Cheng said indifferently, "It doesn't matter what method they use, as long as they can get these skilled people to come to us." That's fine. As long as they enter my territory, even the Heavenly King Lao Tzu will come, and he will never want to take them away."

"Abduction?" Luo Gang tutted, "I'm afraid everyone will dislike us even more after this."

"Don't they just wait for us if we don't do it? Look at the arrangement of the imperial court, look at the personnel adjustments around us, which one is not aimed at us? Hey, Zhao Suo's heart is only the size of a needle." Xiao Cheng sneered: "I just like how they look down on me, but treat me helplessly!"

Looking at Xiao Cheng's appearance, Luo Gang not only laughed, "Now we have gathered more than two thousand craftsmen all the way here, and I'm afraid the speed of subsequent arrivals will slow down. Not this season."

"Yuting, when we were in the northwest, we have done such a thing once, and you have sufficient experience, so this time, you will be in charge of the construction of the new city." Patting Luo Gang on the shoulder, Xiao Cheng smiled and said, "I don't worry if you handle the matter."

"The construction scale this time is more than ten times larger than when we were in the northwest. The people, money, and things that need to be deployed are not comparable to those at that time. I am under a lot of pressure. I can't be a shopkeeper!" Luo Gang said.

"It is true that you have grown up a lot, but you are not Luo Yuting at that time!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "Besides, you have Jia Gui and Li Ge as your assistants, both of whom are experienced people. You three partners should be able to handle any problem."

"The most difficult thing is the first batch." Luo Gang said: "As long as this first round can run smoothly, we, the officials and managers below, will have accumulated enough experience to pass through two or three rounds. , everyone can get organized. But the difficulty lies in the present, as you know, people have fled to varying degrees in various places, and many people have become refugees or have gone into hiding."

"The corvée in the past left them with lingering fears!" Xiao Cheng nodded and said, "Besides, there must be some people with ulterior motives spreading rumors. Governments from all over the country, including the Department of Statistics, have already intervened in this matter. We must not be soft-handed. If we should use our brains to warn, we should use our brains to educate certain people. When the first stage is over and everyone sees the real effect, it will get better and better in the future.”

"That's the reason. So for the first phase, I need sufficient funds!" Luo Gang said: "Whether it's the payment of the craftsmen's salaries, or the food and clothing, heating, and housing of the ordinary workers Needs, as much as I need, you have to give. This first batch is the most uneasy in my heart. If this kind of uneasiness is not eliminated as soon as possible, maybe even a little bit will cause big waves, just as As you said, I'm afraid there are still many people hiding in the dark who want to give us some good looks."

"Don't worry, I will never give you an IOU in the first phase, and I'm not even going to give you Jiaozi." Xiao Cheng said: "In the first phase, they are all Huang Chengcheng's copper coins. It will slowly replace some copper coins, and each time, Jiaozi will take on a little more role until Jiaozi completely replaces copper coins and begins to circulate.”

"Then I'm relieved!" Luo Gang smiled.

"There is one more thing you need to pay attention to." Xiao Cheng said: "Every project like this always involves all kinds of corruption. We have recruited so many people here again and again. Among these people, only I'm afraid there are many people who lack moral restraint and lack respect for the rules."

"Kill him as an example, there will be such a person, hehe, just take it out and use it."

"But before that, the rules must come first!" Xiao Cheng warned: "Our Guizhou Road is now a waste of time, especially people who can read and write are scarce, but anyone who has some skills, We all need to cherish it, so set up rules first, and try our best to make them dare not do these things. You can’t go fishing and enforce the law just to scare chickens and monkeys. We must save those who can be saved. For us, talents are hard to find! "

"That's right." Luo Gang said thoughtfully: "Looking at the appearance and layout of the imperial court, I'm afraid that even if someone outside wants to come to us to seek a position, they will think twice."

"Let's wait for a few years, and in a few more years, our place will become the best place to make contributions." Xiao Cheng laughed: "Now you are ignoring me, and then I will make you unattainable." , haha, Yu Ting, don’t you feel good when you say you slapped them like this?”

"Of course, now I'm looking forward to the happiness of that time." Luo Gang laughed: "It's sour and refreshing, just like drinking a glass of ice water on a hot day."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

This kind of thing has already been done once when the two were in the northwest.

It's just that the scale has expanded a lot now.

"Then Hu Yi and Liu Fengkui are going to enter Guiyang soon, how are you going to deal with these two people?" Luo Gang asked.

"That guy Hu Yi is a piece of trash!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "My father has commented on this guy back then. , very easy to deal with."

"I heard that this person was corrupt back then?"

"This person is really not greedy!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "Among the three divisions, this person can even be said to be a rare and honest person, but his moral integrity does not mean that he can do things! He is a mess in his work, ah Father wanted to take him down at the beginning, but it would definitely not work with this reason, so he had to find a way to take him down, which is why he hated my family. Firstly, Father did frame him, and secondly An incompetent comment made him the laughing stock of Bianliang."

"In fact, such a person is really difficult to deal with!" Luo Gang shook his head and said, "My father told me that such a person caused him the most headaches. Incompetent bungler."

"Yeah, when it comes to national affairs, it's black and white! These people are self-righteous. Those who really understand the book, such as your father Luo Gong, are the real leaders of the country. Dongliang." Xiao Cheng said: "Hu Yi, don't worry, he won't be successful, and from the fact that he set up the transfer envoy in Suiyang instead of Guiyang, it can be seen that he is still guilty of facing me. Compared with If he comes, even though Liu Fengkui is a eunuch, he will be much more difficult to deal with."

"This person was able to gain a foothold on Shaanxi Road back then, and now the two pacifiers can get along in harmony, especially if he can get along with the horse beheaded, so you can see his ability." Luo Gang also knows this horse and bears it.

"Being able to get along with people like Zhang Kuo and get along with Ma Xing shows that this person has a smooth personality. You must know that Zhang Kuo and Ma Xing are two completely opposite types of people!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "Then I think, I will definitely be able to talk with this person. When the time comes, let Wu Ke get in touch with him first!"

Luo Gang's eyes flickered: "You want to buy him? Then extend your tentacles back into the Imperial City Division?"

"If it is possible, why not do it?" Xiao Cheng said: "So far, our Statistics Department has a very deep layout in the private sector, in business and even in the underworld, but it is our largest in the officialdom. Weaknesses, this is also the biggest reason for our failure in Bianliang. Really valuable news will never appear in these directions. Before, I never thought it would be like this. Now, it is time for us to make up for it It's time for this lesson."

"Liu Fengkui is a veteran detective of the Imperial City Department, and also a veteran scout. He has a lot of experience. If we can win him over, then we will be taking a shortcut," Luo Gang said.

"Ever since we got the news that this person is coming to us, Wu Ke has already sent people to start to thoroughly deal with everything related to this person, targeting the target and doing what he likes." Xiao Cheng said: "Try to get him. As for Hu Yi, let him hit hard or soft nails for a while before we talk about it.”

"To completely dispel his desire to embarrass us?"

"A person like Hu Yi will never give up lightly, his head is very strong!" Xiao Cheng spread his hands: "He will only do everything possible to make things difficult for us, no matter whether these tricks are stupid or not. But this person is capable. Limited, it can be placed on our Guizhou road as a mascot."

"Mascot?" Luo Gang laughed: "I'm afraid you want to set an example and put it somewhere for everyone to watch. Is this another type of warning?"

"The one who knows me is Yuting!" Xiao Cheng laughed loudly: "Smart people should know how to do things on Guizhou Road after seeing Hu Yi's appearance."

"If Hu Yi finds out that you treat him like this, I'm afraid he will vomit blood for three liters!" Luo Gang shook his head again and again: "Farewell, farewell, you can sit at home with a fire and drink wine, but I can only go to the construction site worked on it.”

"Zheng Zeshi and others will arrive in Guiyang soon, and I am also busy with the reorganization of the army!" Xiao Cheng waved his hand, "Let's go and go."
