Zhao Zong'e's head went blank with the bang. He didn't know whether it was shock or fear. His body was trembling slightly like chaff, and his chest was heaving like a tide.
Routines have won people's hearts since ancient times.
The two IOUs Liang Chuan presented to him were just a cover-up, a bait to push him over the cliff in the final step.
How did he get so much money at once with 210,000 yuan? Even if you could get it, you wouldn't be able to spend so much money to buy that piece of muddy land!
Looking at Liang Chuan's expression of "I've got my way, boy, you're still a little bit young to play with me", he couldn't breathe easily, the look in the eyes of the people watching the fun that didn't bother him, the face of the young man from Beijing is now There is nowhere to put it.
After so many years of traveling around the world, this is the first time he has been so disgraced!
His face turned pale, turned red, and then turned livid. Zhao Zong'e's face looked like a dye shop.
Liang Chuan chuckled and said, "Is the young master feeling a little unwell?"
When Cheng Lin saw that Liang Chuan was playing tricks on Zhao Zong'e, she decided to continue humiliating him. You must know that mad dogs can bite people. He didn't want to make a big deal out of his own territory and turn around to attack Ding. It is said that it is difficult to explain to Zhao Yuning.
"Liang Chuan, since you gave up the bidding, please leave the Yinbin Room. Next, we will hand over the land title to Zhao Zonge."
Liang Chuan stood up and saluted Cheng Lin, and everyone also moved in unison.
"Xiao Min, please retire."
Liang Chuan turned around and left with a group of people without saying any nonsense.
Zhao Zong'e looked at Liang Chuan's calm look and felt angry and had nowhere to vent his anger.
He wanted to stand up and run away on the spot, but Cheng Lin was not a good person. The position of Kaifeng governor was not for a soft persimmon. How many princes and nobles fell into Cheng Lin's hands just because he insisted on the law and treated favors outside the law. Well, it just depends on whether you give Cheng Lin face or not.
It was obvious that Zhao Zonge was not the kind of person who would save face for others.
Sun Houpu pulled the corner of Zhao Zong'e's clothes and said softly: "The deposit hasn't been refunded yet?"
Liang Chuan made a silent gesture: "Shh!"
Cheng Lin looked down on these clans who were born with a silver spoon in her heart. A few clans such as Zhao Weixian were really talented. People like Zhao Zonge who relied on the big tree of their ancestors to do evil all day long would wait for the big tree. If they fall, there will be people to pick them up.
For example, today, a dignified clan was humiliated by one of Ding Wei's domestic slaves. How will people organize this when word spreads? It's better to just die.
Cheng Lin looked at Zhao Zong'e with a straight face and said, "Young Master, please take the money. After I have finished your work, I have to attend to other official duties."
Zhao Zonge gritted his teeth and looked at Cheng Lin coldly, Cheng Lin is trying to force her into the palace!
"What? Doesn't the young father-in-law not want this land anymore?"
Cheng Lin looked at Zhao Zonge who looked embarrassed and said.
You guys don’t have money either, so you two are just here to entertain me?
There is a good show!
As soon as Liang Chuan heard Cheng Lin's words, he took back his foot that had not yet stepped out, waiting to watch the show.
If Zhao Zong'e had bought this piece of land today, he would not only have lost face but also lost money. If he had risked his life and gritted his teeth, he might not have lost that much money!
Anyone with a little bit of brain would know that today, all face is gone, and the money cannot be lost in vain. To deny it would be to lose the wife and lose the troops, which would make matters worse!
After thinking about it carefully, I will definitely stay put! But I can't be impulsive anymore.
He finally understood that Liang Chuan dared to do this to him, which showed that he was confident. In this way, normal tactics would no longer be able to deal with Liang Chuan!
Zhao Zonge looked at Cheng Lin, a poor scholar, with hatred. Cheng Lin didn't show off his dignity at all, and kept pressing closer and closer. In Zhao Zonge's eyes, the two of them seemed to be on a stage, working together to punish him. .
Of course Cheng Lin also has her own considerations. If she surrenders to you Zhao Zong'e today, in the future the civil and military officials in the dynasty will regard herself as a person who bullies the weak, fears the strong and tends to follow the crowd. Where will she put her old face? This was worse than killing him.
It is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. If a descendant of the clan takes this position, it is equivalent to being tentatively designated as the heir to the East Palace. Taizong Zhao Guangyi once served as the governor of Kaifeng. Do you think this position is important or not?
To some extent, Kaifeng Fuyin is not even afraid of people of Ding Wei's level!
A good man doesn't want to suffer the immediate consequences, so Zhao Zong'e rolled his eyes.
"Master Cheng, Zong'e didn't think carefully about that piece of land. He originally wanted to use it to build an academy to do his best for the students of the Song Dynasty. However, the land was not available from time to time. Furthermore, Zhao was so eager to run a school that he didn't check it out for a while. If you don't know what you can do, the sky-high price of 200,000 yuan is tantamount to the students' cultural heritage, and Zong E can only sigh."
Build an academy, you heard me right, I think you are using it to build a brothel!
When everyone heard Zhao Zong'e's impassioned speech, they all rolled their eyes and almost vomited out the overnight meal. If he said that he took the land to build a brothel, no one would say anything to him. This is a typical young father-in-law style. Building a college? His conscience has been eaten by dogs. How can he do such a good deed?
Could it be that Zhao Zong'e's brain was blocked by the door?
In order to cover up her lack of money, she used such a high-sounding excuse. Even Cheng Lin was a little surprised. This kid still has some brains!
"Then what if you don't want it?"
"Zong E does not take away people's love, but he acts within his ability. He voluntarily let Kaifeng Mansion confiscate the deposit of 50,000 yuan. He just pitied Bianjing Wenzong. Could you please consider being accommodating?"
Cheng Lin sneered in her heart: It's so calculating, but you still want to kidnap someone morally? Even if you, a villain in the capital who does all kinds of evil, deserve the words "Laozi" and "Context", do you know how to write these two words?
Cheng Lin cursed secretly, but on the surface her skills were quite good.
"It's easy to say. You just need to build the academy first, register the expenses and make a register. Later, you can take it to my office for review. I will return the 50,000 yuan to you. After all, it is a contribution to the Song Dynasty. , I will give my full support!”
I can't bear to give you 50,000 guan. If you want me to give you 200,000 guan, you really think I'm being taken advantage of! When Zhao Zonge heard this, he was so angry that he walked away.
It’s okay if you don’t want 50,000 yuan today!
Seeing Zhao Zong'e leaving, Liang Chuan said to Cheng Lin with a shy face: "My lord, this young man is so rich and beautiful, he is so fake. He has no money at all in his pocket. No, I just tried it out. What's wrong now?" So, if he gives up this land, does it belong to me?"
You are also a talented person. If you dare to scold Zhao Zong'e for being a good person, I'm afraid Bianjing City won't be able to find anyone else.
Cheng Lin waved her hand to the document: "Take him to sign it."
Liang Chuan and his party quickly raised their hands and said, "Thank you, sir."
Although there were some twists and turns in getting the land, after spending 50,000 yuan, I finally got it successfully. The next thing is the project!
Liang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. Everything is difficult at the beginning. The land has not yet been obtained. There are only so many monsters and monsters!
After receiving Ding Wei's instructions, Lei Yungong mobilized tens of thousands of migrant workers with a wave of his hand to rush to the construction site bought by Liang Chuan on Bianhe Street. Even if a thousand migrant workers were crammed into that small piece of land, it would be too crowded, let alone All the migrant workers were recruited.
Ding Wei said he was in charge of Liang Chuan's private property, but to Lei Yungong's ears, it was clear that he was beating him. Lei Yungong said, "This land is mine, you can do whatever you want!"
A person who can achieve Ding Wei's position would never do anything under his own banner. He must be using Liang Chuan's banner to line his own pockets and enrich his own private business.
Now that he and Ding Wei are working together, they are basically like grasshoppers in the same boat. Although Ding Wei tells him that he has ideas, he does not dare to violate them. After all, all the benefits, status, and financial resources he has now are all given by Ding Wei. If he fell out with Ding Wei, not only would he lose everything, but other people in the court would be even less likely to tolerate him.
So he took Liang Chuan's matter as conscientiously as Ding Wei's matter.
Liang Chuan originally planned to let Zhao Xiaopin and a group of Luocheng masters build the building. It would take longer, but the quality would be reliable and the price reasonable.
Now Lei Yungong has come forward. This man is greedy, but he can't get rid of the dirt in his eyes. The dead eunuch is as smart as a ghost. How can he let others take advantage if he only deceives others?
These foremans let them do the work because they think highly of them, but they dare to cut corners if they don't! Once Lei Yungong finds out something fishy, he won't be able to kill these little people.
No matter how much money a contractor makes, he is still a commoner at best. Lei Yungong is from the inner palace, so he is even more terrifying than these foreign ministers!
Liang Chuan felt a little embarrassed, so he called Zhao Xiaopin and the others over all the way, but they all ended up building stoves for others in Bianjing City.
Little did they know that after Zhao Xiaopin and the others received the letter of appointment stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Industry by Lei Yungong, they worshiped with three sticks in the morning and evening. Although their lives were hard, they felt comfortable. This honor had never been experienced by the Zhao family in Luocheng since their ancestors.
When they saw that the building in Liangchuan was about to go up, they saw that the construction site was full of craftsmen, and they were not even needed to move bricks, so they decided to build a new type of firewood-saving stove in Bianjing.
Now that the twelfth lunar month of winter is approaching and the rivers are frozen, we can't go back to Fujian anyway. Instead of doing this, we might as well do some work in Bianjing City. The rewards given by the people here are extremely generous, and every household with millions of people in Bianjing needs to improve their stoves, and there is too much business to do.
The home is the place for survival, but food is the most important thing for people. The importance of the stove to a family is self-evident. When the firewood-saving stove was launched in Bianjing City, the big families might have looked down upon it, but the small families were eager to see this new stove.
The firewood-saving stove can not only save a lot of firewood, but also prevents smoke from entering the house, and the burning rate of firewood is also very high. When the stove is turned on, the home will be warm in winter, and the heat will not be wasted at all. It is these few advantages that make people all over the city go crazy about it.
Because there are too many, and only more than 30 Luocheng masters came this time, they had to build two-hole stoves every day, and they still had to have all the materials in place. But they won't just sit back and raise the price, how much they charge at the beginning, and then continue to charge that amount after their reputation develops.
Such fair practices and such practical stoves suddenly made these craftsmen from the south famous. People praised these masters for their virtues and skills. Sometimes the Luocheng masters were so happy that they spilled the beans: " We also built palaces for officials!"
The people in the city were even more in awe when they heard it!
The Luocheng masters enjoyed people's attention and felt that their trip was well worth it!
The urban complex on Bianhe Street is rising from the ground because there are too many migrant workers and craftsmen, and it is understandable that the craftsmen are paid to work every day. With tens of thousands of craftsmen doing dozens of jobs, the efficiency will increase several times.
It turned out that the area turned into a river, and the migrant workers directly broke the ice of the river and used chisels to cut open the river surface. The river was then rerouted and deep foundations were dug downwards.
After the eight halls were built, there were still a lot of excellent materials left.
According to regulations, these redundant materials will also be disposed of by then. Transporting them back from the temporary river channel will cost a lot of money. Lei Yungong thought about it and decided that he might as well sell it to Liang Chuan at a discount.
The Qinling Mountains also have the best golden nanmu in Sichuan, which is used as a good material for the pillars of town houses. The royal procurement originally cost at least hundreds of thousands of guan, but most of it was actually caused by the corruption of procurement officials at various links. Now it is tens of thousands of guan. Sold to Liang Chuan, with four pillars separated in four directions, a four- to five-story super restaurant can be built.
As for the other glazed bricks and tiles, not counting the materials originally left by Liang Chuan himself, the new ones were given to Liang Chuan for almost nothing.
Liang Chuan and Sun Houpu originally prepared nearly 500,000 guan for the cost of this building. Now they have calculated that not only the working hours are extremely short, but the total cost of various materials and labor may be 300,000 guan.
What you save is what you earn.
