"Lu Ban, Ou Yezi, Li Bing, pay your respects to the Lord."
"Free gift for three people!"
Ning Fan's attitude was very easy-going, and there was even a hint of respect in his eyes. Although these three people did not belong to the temple and were not the heroes who opened up the territory, each of them promoted the historical process of China.
In that splendid five thousand years of civilization, monuments were erected one after another, which was enough for him to pay tribute!
"Today, I respectfully invite four of you to join the world and work together to achieve great things."
"From now on, Lu Ban will be the director of our Huainan Engineering Bureau, and Li Bing, Ou Yezi, and Li Chun will be the deputy directors, overseeing our three-year major infrastructure project in Huainan."
"The well-being of millions of people in Huainan depends on you."
"Don't dare!"
The four of them all showed a hint of humility. Ning Fan smiled, looked at Li Bing and said, "Mr. Li Bing, from now on, you will be responsible for the Huaihe River southward project. Regardless of whether you need manpower, money, food, or equipment, you will be given priority. If you can't solve the problem, please contact me!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Mr. Li Chun, after Li Bing has planned the southward flow of the Huai River, he will start building bridges. I request that all major dredging roads be connected by bridges."
"No matter the cost, no matter the cost, it runs through all major arteries."
"As you command!"
"Master Lu Ban, from now on, I would like to ask you to lead the Engineering Bureau. Any new invention or equipment that can be developed can be developed regardless of cost, including but not limited to agricultural tools, equipment, ordnance, and even some weird inventions. ."
"Furthermore, I plan to build an engineering institute to gather talents from all over the world and cultivate craftsmen."
"At that time, I will still have to rely on you."
Ning Fan made the cake big and round, while the four people in Lu Ban looked overjoyed and bowed respectfully: "Your Highness is wise, and we will do our best."
With the participation of the four people from Lu Ban, Ning Fan felt as if a huge burden had been lifted off his shoulders. In the past six months, in order to plan Huainan's infrastructure, every major plan had to convene the entire Huainan team for discussion and discussion.
Now, with specialization in the art industry, and with Lu Ban and others taking charge, he can once again be the hands-on shopkeeper.
…
"Your Highness!"
"Hey, my lord, we are rich."
"Now the Lu family is bleeding heavily."
Ning Fan had just finished handling the large-scale infrastructure development matter and had just returned to the palace when Shen Wansan barged in with great enthusiasm. The fat man relied on Ning Fan's pampering and became more and more unruly.
However, Ning Fan is also willing to do it. After all, it is the palace's treasure chest. This fat man has strength!
"Okay, let's see what potential you have."
"Tell me, how do you get rich?"
Shen Wansan grinned, stepped forward and muttered: "Guess how much we made from the Lu family?"
"Haha, food prices in the north and south of the country have been rising in recent days, three to five times higher than usual. A million stones of food, I'm afraid there are a million taels of silver, right?"
"more than!"
Shen Wansan's face was almost bursting with laughter. He stepped forward and said, "In order to quickly collect the food on the market these days, the Lu family has poured in food regardless of the cost. The price of food has increased five times compared to normal times."
"Oh, you are really rich!"
Ning Fan had a playful look on his face and looked at Shen Wansan: "Did you attract the attention of the Lu family?"
"Never!"
"Very good. In that case, I can have some fun with them."
"Tell me, how much did you catch this time?"
"More than 1.3 million taels."
"hiss!"
Ning Fan also had a look of shock on his face, and said softly: "One stone of grain, one to two to three hundred dollars, haha, what a big comparison."
"Your Highness, the people have suffered a lot these past few days, and we can't delay it any longer."
"Um!"
Ning Fan nodded, pondered for a moment, and said softly: "Instruct all branches of Dahan Grain Bank to sell potatoes and sweet potatoes at low prices starting tomorrow. I want to see if the Lu family's grain is piled in the warehouse and moldy or sold at a low price. "
"yes!"
Shen Wansan's eyes were bright. During this period, he had already transported the potatoes and sweet potatoes harvested in the capital to the north of the Li River. The major granaries in Huainan were also frantically transporting food to all parts of the country.
It was enough to make the Lu family despair.
"Your Highness, I have something to worry about."
"explain!"
"The food on the market today is unaffordable for the common people. But if it were all replaced by potatoes and sweet potatoes, would the common people be willing to buy it?"
"hehe!"
Ning Fan shook his head: "When you can't even fill your stomach, you can eat leaves, grass and roots. How can you not eat potatoes and sweet potatoes?"
"Besides, I have developed many ways to eat potatoes and sweet potatoes!"
"Eat it grilled, boiled, even fried, etc."
"Today, potatoes and sweet potatoes are so cheap, even cheaper than grains, so ordinary people are naturally more willing to pay."
"Don't worry, I've prepared a killing move for the Lu family."
Seeing Ning Fan's confident look, Shen Wansan felt relieved and nodded lightly.
"Is there any movement over at the Hu family?"
"Your Highness, the Hu family's salt shop has been completely defeated by our Daming Salt Shop. Although they have used many clumsy methods, there is nothing they can do after we strengthen our defenses."
"Besides, the second young master of the Hu family is still in our hands now, so they dare not move lightly."
"A dog will jump over the wall if he is anxious."
Ning Fan smiled lightly, but didn't care at all. Now, whether it's the Hu family or the Lu family, the overall situation has been decided. There can't be any trouble. Wen can't play. If he really wants to use force, Dayu's surroundings are now stable. Naturally, he is even more vulnerable.
"Okay, go down and get ready!"
"Don't be careless. It's a matter of vital importance to all people. We must ensure that people everywhere will not go hungry."
"yes!"
As Shen Wansan strode forward, Ning Fan became increasingly calm. In less than two years, he had grown from a useless young man with little experience in the world to an old yin master of chess...a young talent!
In a word, don’t be timid, just do it!
If you want Huainan and Dayu to embark on the path of great powers, ordinary methods will not work.
In the blink of an eye, it was sunset in Xishan. Ning Fan had finished handling some trivial matters and was getting ready to get off work. The night market in Zhuquefang was gradually emerging. After the curfew was abolished, the nightlife in Lingzhou City became more colorful.
However, it is still in the construction stage, with only a small-scale trial operation, and everything is developing smoothly and orderly.
Bieyuan.
Xiao Longnu was sitting in front of the dressing table. Her whole body was more graceful than before. She also had an extra hairpin on her head, making her look even more charming.
With the sound of pushing the door open, Xiao Longnu had already noticed Ning Fan's arrival, but she did not look back.
"Long'er."
Ning Fan stepped forward from behind and hugged Xiao Longnu, with a touch of tenderness on his face.
Night is destined to be restless. Ning Fan is a hard-working person, and he is also a diligent person. He thinks about practice all the time. He wants to become stronger!
