Not long after Meng Liangchen arrived, another group of people followed. This group of people was the Zhaojiabang engineering team headed by Zhao Xiaopin.
After Zhao Xiaopin followed Liang Chuan to Qingyuan, he first found someone to work with him to make a firewood-saving stove. Technically, this kind of stove is represented by overtime and is a patented technology. After it was promoted, it became popular in Qingyuan.
Zhao Xiaopin saved his first pot of gold by relying on this craft, and relied on his intelligence to return to Wangsun Village in Luocheng and pull up a group of Luocheng masters. They have grown bigger and stronger over the past few years and continued to develop. Under the influence of Qingyuan, it almost monopolized Qingyuan's construction industry.
For these Luocheng masters, Liang Chuan not only gave them their biggest project when they were in the most difficult time, but also gave them selfless help and expanded many connections.
Zhao Xiaopin himself is up to par. After Zhao Fafa retired, he has become the leader of these Luocheng masters. Others also have their own sects and leaders, but many people are not as good as Zhao Xiaopin. Outstanding, Zhao Xiaopin also spared no effort to help these villagers, and the wages and benefits offered were extremely generous. Under the temptation of high salaries, all Luocheng masters gathered under Zhao Xiaopin.
What Zhao Xiaopin's father failed to accomplish was realized in his hands.
Zhao Xiaopin received a message from Liang Chuan. As soon as he heard that he could go to Bianjing to build a palace for the officials, the projects in Qingyuan were said to be either subcontracted or put on hold. He told everyone he met that he was going to Bianjing to build palaces for the officials. All stopped.
He summoned all Luocheng masters who were willing to go to Bianjing, and there was no one who was unwilling to come under the call.
There is no other reason. Zhao Fafa built a Longshan mansion in Longshan Village, Youyang Township, Xinghua County and boasted about it all his life. If Zhao Xiaopin and the others can build a palace for the official family, it will be a glory that future generations can be proud of. Deeds, who wouldn’t want to?
When Liang Chuan was eating meat in Bianjing City, he didn't forget to treat them to soup. If they didn't come, wouldn't it be disrespectful to Liang Chuan?
The group of people took a boat and changed horses and rushed to Bianjing quickly. They said they were building a palace for the officials. However, their family had a small business and had never taken on a project of this level.
It's like the production team in the village used to replace light bulbs, but suddenly the Capital Gymnasium asked them to cap the lights. Isn't this difficult for them?
This project was led by the Ministry of Industry and Xu Yin Wang Lin from Bianjing City, big contractors and big real estate developers. They ate the meat themselves, Liang Chuan told him, just leave a little soup for Zhao Xiaopin to enjoy!
Fortunately, the construction period of this project is very short, only three months. When we arrive in Bianjing, we can pick up some finishing work, but if we arrive late, there will be nothing.
The canal has not yet frozen, and the group finally arrived in Bianjing by both land and water.
The snow in Bianjing is a bit dry. Like the members of the intelligence team, the Luocheng masters have grown up in the Tibetan area all their lives. They have never seen snow, and they don’t have many clothes on them. They look like a group of refugees. . Seeing these people traveling thousands of miles to come to Bianjing, Liang Chuan felt distressed and grateful at the same time.
When the group saw Liang Chuan, they thanked him and said kind words to him. They also brought a lot of local specialties such as mountain bamboo shoots and dried fish. Liang Chuan was away from home all year round and really missed the taste of his hometown.
Zhao Xiaopin thanked Liang Chuan profusely for giving them the opportunity to leave their name in history. After working as a house builder all his life, he actually had the opportunity to work for the government. This was a blessing that had been cultivated for several lifetimes.
Craftsmen generally come from aristocratic families, and they also long for fame and fortune, and want to be famous in history like the founder Lu Ban!
Liang Chuan's focus is not on Zhao Guan's house, but on his own city complex!
He was worried about who would be responsible for building his urban complex, because he didn't know much about the project, and he was now apparently one of Ding Wei's people, and the queue of people Ding Wei had offended was long enough to reach the west. Outside of the Huamen, if it is allowed to be manipulated by someone with intentions, it will cause an engineering accident and the skin will peel off even if it is dead.
Even if it doesn't cost more, projects like this are also about auspiciousness. If something goes wrong, it will cast a shadow to some extent, and no one wants to see it.
After Lei Yungong took the post of director, gods from all walks of life wanted to take a bite of Tang Monk's meat, and there was an endless stream of people offering bribes. The family's precious medicinal materials, rare animals and plants, gold and silver treasures were as numerous as mountains, and at the construction site in Bianhe River He also abused his private power and first enclosed a piece of land for himself and built a private mansion. There were hundreds of slaves in it and they were living in extravagance and lust. It was simply lawless.
When the work was being done, he would look out from the attic of his home, and he would be regarded as a supervisor. Collecting money, being merciless and working is easy, who dares to say that the Ministry of Work is a cheap ministry?
He has nothing to do with women in his life. All his greed is focused on money and wealth. If he is not greedy, he will not be able to make such a big sacrifice in his life!
Liang Chuan picked two jade bracelets of good quality, put them in a gift box, and led Zhao Xiaopin to look for Lei Yungong.
Lei Yungong now has a fortune of over 100 million yuan, so I am afraid that Lei Yungong would not like this small gift. Although he had promised to give him a small piece of project to do, there was a huge difference in status between him and me, so he went there empty-handed to save his face. It doesn’t look good either.
"Who are we visiting, boss?"
Along the way, Zhao Xiaopin was either amazed at the Wuhua Tianbao in Bianjing, or kept asking questions. The most important thing was that he was worried about whether Liang Chuan could really introduce them to the royal family's projects. Coming all the way from Qingyuan, many projects were delayed for a small amount of money, and I was more afraid of being disappointed than expected.
"Master Lei Yungong, the supervisor of the Ministry of Industry, is in charge of these projects. If you want to contract a tile or a load of soil, you need his approval." Although you can go to Ding Wei, But it was easier to talk to Lei Yungong, at least he didn't have to ask for help.
He had caused unnecessary misunderstandings with Ding Wei because of Empress Dowager Liu. He didn't want to bring random people to Ding Wei to make him increase his defense against him.
"My boss is not afraid that you will laugh at me. If we are really allowed to help the officials build their houses, can you ask those high officials to write us a few words or give us a handwriting or something, so that we can invite them back to Luocheng in the future?" Other folks, please pay your respects..."
Liang Chuan. .
"It's easy to talk about. I've already taken care of it. When the time comes, I'll give you an edict and stamp it with the seal of the Ministry of Works. You can pay tribute when you go back and burn three sticks of incense on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month."
One dares to say it and the other dares to do it. .
Lei Yungong was more enthusiastic when he saw Liang Chuan than when he saw his own father.
Liang Chuan is now a man of great influence. He is capable of writing poetry and martial arts and will rise to the top sooner or later after following Ding Wei. Coupled with his smart mind, it makes no sense that Lei Yungong, a person like this, would not fawn over contacts and relationships. He has long regarded Liang Chuan as a key connection to cultivate.
Lei Yungong's new house is really conspicuous. Bianhe Street used to be deserted, but because of this big house, the flow of people began to increase!
"Master Lei looks good recently!"
"Manager Liang is joking, who is this...?" Lei Yungong has never seen Zhao Xiaopin.
"Remember that I told you earlier that I wanted to discuss a small project with Mr. Lei..."
Lei Yungong looked at Zhao Xiaopin. The man in front of him was still a child. He also wanted to contract the project. Could he be a child of some big family?
"Whose son is this?"
Liang Chuan said with a smile: "He is not a son of any family. This is a friend of mine named Zhao. His father built countless houses in his life. His only regret before his death was that he could not fulfill his filial piety to the officials. He thought deeply about it. Wanting to fulfill my father’s last wish, Qi Tuo Bu Tuo came to me, so I had no choice but to trouble Mr. Lei.”
When Lei Yungong heard that his surname was Zhao, his heart skipped a beat. The surname Zhao was no joke. He might be from a noble family with roots in the imperial city. Liu Bei has reaped countless benefits just because of his surname Liu, but there are still unrelated descendants of the Liu surname. What if this person is a related descendant of the Zhao family. .
Lei Yungong said in a pretentious manner: "My nephew's filial piety is very touching. Have you ever served in any palace?"
Nephew? When Liang Chuan heard this title, he almost vomited out his dinner.
You are such a dead eunuch that you are so embarrassed that you are called a junior. .
Zhao Xiaopin said: "We... only cover the houses. The largest temple has been built. I don't know if it is okay."
Lei Yungong was stunned and looked at Liang Chuan. His face seemed to have written on his face that you are trying to get everyone to come to me. But after all, the other party was Liang Chuan. He had promised it at the beginning. Whoever came to this construction site did not just want to share a piece of it. Meat?
Lei Yungong said with an embarrassed look on his face: "This is not easy to handle...if you haven't practiced it before?"
Zhao Xiaopin quickly said: "It's okay if we don't want wages!"
Liang Chuan almost jumped up when he heard this. I asked you to do these projects because I want you to make a profit first, but you don't want any money!
Although reputation is important, we shouldn't settle for just this. We'd better get things done, get paid, and then earn reputation. Isn't it killing three birds with one stone? It's better for you, because others haven't said anything yet. If you don’t want wages first, then what will you eat and drink from the northwest wind later?
Lei Yungong's speech is always like this. Even if the errand is easy to handle, he must first report his complaints to his superiors. Only when he completes the task will he be rewarded. Otherwise, where will the reward come from if the matter is easy to handle?
What a kind person! It would be too bullying if he didn't pay him, but Liang Chuan still had to give him face.
"Xu Yin has undertaken the projects of Yanqing Hall and Huiqing Hall. I asked him if he has some simple work for you to do."
Zhao Xiaopin said with tears of gratitude: "Master Lei, you are really the greatest official I have ever seen in my life. I didn't expect you to be so kind and amiable without any official pretensions. You take so much care of us. I will bring my friends later." Uncle is here to give you a nibble..."
This is Zhao Xiaopin's typical patois flattery. Even Lei Yungong, who is so good at flattery, can't bear it after not hearing such naked words of sincerity for many years.
"My good nephew has come to see you now. Sanlang and I are brothers and sisters, and it is only right that we help each other in our duties."
Liang Chuan's face was filled with a smile, and he was so angry in his heart. Who do you, a damn eunuch, call brother and sister? If I had a brother like you, I would cut off the roots of my children and grandchildren if I disagree with you. It would be strange if my father didn't beat you to death. !
Zhao Xiaopin said: "Master Lei, can you write a few more words for me?"
Lei Yungong thought to himself that this man was very verbose: "What word?"
Liang Chuan said with embarrassment: "It's basically just a few words like a letter of appointment to prove that they have contributed a little to the government. Hey, if it is convenient, please give me the seal of your Ministry of Industry or the names of some of your doctors and chief registrars." Knock the big seal on it so that they can be invited home to offer sacrifices."
Lei Yungong smiled softly, and there was a chill in that laughter, and said: "This is not simple, just as it happens, my old Lei's seal is for you foremen, look back, Sanlang, what do you want?" You can write the paperwork yourself and bring it over. You can stamp it as you like here. If you don’t like mine, you can go to the Ministry of Works. It’s up to you to find the seals of those idiots in the Ministry of Works.”
Lei Yungong almost spilled the beans, but Liang Chuan winked and hinted: "It's all over, it's over..."
"Okay, I'll book a room in Zifan Building tonight. We haven't gotten together for a long time." Lei Yungong stretched his waist and said.
"Don't you dare? Master Ding has sent me out for a long time. He should have some objections."
"Well, Old Ding's business is precious, and I don't dare to ruin his business. I should go upstairs to see how these people are doing?"
The two came out of Lei Yungong's house. Zhao Xiaopin was overjoyed. It sounded like it was a sure thing. Looking at the smoke rising from the houses on the street, he suddenly said: "My boss, you said this Bianjing person is so rich. The stove is not very good, can we make money by cooking the stove here?"
Liang Chuan glanced at Zhao Xiaopin appreciatively. This boy had a characteristic that he was a bit clever and had a keen eye. He could tell if there were business opportunities with his eyes. What was even more valuable was that he didn't care how much money he made or whether his life was hard. As long as he could make money, he would Everyone will make money, which is also the secret to his success!
"Of course I can make money. After my building is built for me, you can move a circle of firewood stoves to the millions of households in Bianjing City one by one. I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it!"
