"The Ministry of Industry has written that the inner and outer cities of Zhongdu are in urgent need of bricks and stones, and the bricks and stones from areas near Jiufu are specially dispatched to Zhongdu."
There was nothing to hide, so Hu Weiyong immediately told Zhu Biao the reason.
Zhu Biao was obviously not satisfied with this reply and frowned.
"As far as I know, even if the bricks and stones are in urgent need, they have to be used in the capital. Fengyang can wait. Does You Cheng think that Zhongdu is more important?"
Hu Weiyong was very calm.
"The central capital is equally important as the capital. If there is a difference, there is. The central capital is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry, and the remuneration of the corvee cannot be compared with that of the capital."
"Your Highness, you should know that people are not worried about few but about inequality. There is a lot of trouble in Zhongdu."
"The treatment in the capital is the best. It doesn't matter if we wait, but it won't work in Zhongdu. We can only finish the work as soon as possible and let the people go back."
"So, in addition to the official document issued by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, I, the Ministry of Public Affairs and Communications of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, approved the matter after comprehensive consideration."
"Your Highness is here. If it is for this matter, I think there is nothing wrong with Zhongshu Sheng's handling. I hope Your Highness will learn from it."
What Hu Weiyong said seemed to be a decision made by Zhongshu Sheng after normal consideration.
But Zhu Biao heard strong resentment from it.
Think about it too.
Originally, we started out the same way. You had no money to take and I had no money to take either. We were both working as coolies, so we couldn’t resist.
This means that when the work is done, you can go home.
But you don't follow common sense and pay people wages.
In the world of chess, the existence of a maverick is quite eye-catching. If the balanced situation is broken, then you don't blame others for their resentment.
Zhongshu Sheng was coordinating the overall situation and naturally had to consider everything comprehensively. He would first transfer supplies and let them finish their work and leave. There was nothing to complain about.
Even if Zhu Biao felt something was wrong, he couldn't figure out what went wrong.
On the contrary, I felt that what Zheng Xiong did was a bit unfair, and it really made other people's jobs much more difficult.
After hearing this, he didn't hold on to Hu Weiyong.
"Having said that, You Cheng, it's better not to favor one thing over another. You can't just work here and lose your life! It's better to ensure the construction period and complete the work as soon as possible."
"What His Highness said is not unreasonable. The Zhongshu Province is only mobilizing bricks and stones to Zhongdu first, and has no intention of stopping the supply to the capital. If they are dispatched from other places, the construction period should not be delayed."
"I hope it's as you said, so I won't bother you."
"Your Highness, please excuse me."
When Zheng Xiong learned the reason, he had the same expression as Zhu Biao.
In Zhu Biao's thoughtful eyes, he also felt that what he did was a bit unethical, and he did not consider the situation of others, which made the corvee have opinions.
"I am ashamed. Thank you Your Highness for informing me. It won't be a problem if we wait for a while."
"It's fine if nothing happens. Although you did the right thing and it will be of great benefit to the people, the world has only been at peace for a long time, and there are many things to consider. The main thing is to maintain stability, and it is better to be more restrained in the future."
"Please keep this in mind."
Yes, he was actually educated by Zhu Biao.
Zheng Xiong's mood was a bit complicated.
Without saying anything, he called Tieniu and gave him an angry scolding.
"Don't be too fussy next time. It's nothing serious. The bricks and stones will be supplied first."
"Is there work? If there is work, do it. If there is no work, send some people to build the school."
"I really have nothing to do. It's okay to play there. The government can still afford it."
"There is only so much work to do now. As long as the construction period is not delayed, everything else is easy."
"Don't disturb me if you have nothing to do in the future. You can take care of it yourself."
I don’t know where Zheng Xiong got angry, and he didn’t give him a good look.
Tieniu was relieved when he received Zheng Xiong's reply.
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
Days passed, and since Zheng Xiong had a stable way to make money, he began to live a salty life.
The sixteenth floor continuously provided blood to the government office, and was then sent to Yi Jianhe Pharmacy by Zheng Xiong under various names.
The money in the government office is just the money from tea sales, which is a bit more than what I have accumulated, but not much else.
The wallet of Yi Jianhe Pharmacy bulged rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Near the end of the month, Zheng Xiong was quite satisfied when looking at the balance of Yi Jianhe Pharmacy.
Yi Jian had a balance of tens of thousands lying on his account.
The pharmacy was no less generous and made millions of dollars in revenue.
This does not include the independent department of the canteen. Including the canteen, there are tens of thousands of money lying on the account.
As long as the yamen has money, there will always be people who stutter below, and they can live a good life.
If you diversify your investments and operations, you won't be afraid of being robbed.
During this period of time, Zheng Xiong had been thinking about the next move on the 16th floor in his spare time.
After the reform on the 16th floor and the popularization of ID cards, it is more convenient to come and go.
In nearly two months, there was a gradual decline, and the increase was not that big.
Although he can really win a beautiful woman, he attracts a large number of people to come and go, just for the slightest chance.
But after all, there are only a few who succeed. In addition, there are many who have completed their tasks, but they have not followed the rules and have cooperated with the Sixteenth Floor to continue to squeeze their money.
With their wallets struggling and no hope in sight, there are many people who imitate the Sixteenth Floor model, and some people just stop watching it.
Seeing this, Zheng Xiong continued to attack.
It's the same thing every day, but it's different every day.
It’s not easy to empty other people’s wallets.
With the mature routines of later generations, it can be said that it is easy to catch.
The one who makes money has to be the head anchor.
Although some ordinary people can make money, they still have to be cultivated slowly.
Coupled with the policies introduced by Zheng Xiong, you can gain freedom if you meet the conditions, and cultivating a top anchor will not be worth the gain.
But it's different now. This group of people is great propaganda, but it's also a shackles.
The flow is too great and there is no stable audience.
This is not good for the development of the 16th floor.
Just like when the anchor industry first emerged, there was a bit of novelty. When the novelty wears off, without a stable audience group, it will soon be lost to everyone.
The next step is to create a head anchor.
Become in charge of traffic.
In order to achieve this goal, Zheng Xiong asked the 16th floor to start building momentum.
"Have you heard? The oiran will be selected on the 16th floor."
"It is said that on the seventh day of July, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet in the sky."
"To commemorate this moment, the Sixteenth Floor will select the oiran in the first three days."
"On the seventh day of July, anyone who helps the oiran to win the title will have the opportunity to spend the night with the oiran."
"As for the opportunity, you know, hehe, as long as the oiran allows it, no one will care about what you want to do."
"Others, those who didn't help the girl win the title are fine. Other girls will receive the same treatment."
"You can write a poem, or you can get started in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you can shine at that time. You can help girls. Of course, you can also use money to throw money."
"In a word, it's not just the girl's business, we all can participate and have opportunities."
"It all depends on your ability."
"How about it? Your calligraphy and painting are excellent. Is there a girl you admire who can help you?"
"What, are you going? Your article is good. Are you not afraid of delaying your future by going to this land of fireworks?"
"Don't be afraid. It's not just me. Many of my classmates are planning to go. Now the whole capital is talking about it. It must be a huge crowd that day."
"As long as you and I seize the opportunity, we may not be able to become a blockbuster, and maybe we can even win a beautiful woman."
"Would it be a fool not to take such a good opportunity?"
