At this time, this place was a busy scene, dust was flying everywhere, many craftsmen were moving bricks, and wood was moving wood, and there was the sound of ping-pong-pong-pumping of stones.
Hearing this, Hua Tingqian quickly put down his work, clasped his fists at Wang Qizhi, and said humbly: "No, no, I just like it."
Wang Qizhi said: "Now that we have money, we can just ask if we have any needs."
Upon hearing this, Hua Tingqian suddenly became excited and said, "Is it true?"
Wang Qizhi smiled slightly and explained: "My elder sister and Vice General Zhou have already gotten back the money hidden in the headquarters."
Hearing this, Huatingqian almost jumped up with joy, almost like a child.
"Great, you can give me another hundred thousand taels of silver."
Wang Qizhi wondered: "Why do you still need so much money?"
"Originally, due to financial reasons, this station still has a lot to improve. For example, the martial arts field needs to be laid with high-quality blue bricks, some pavilions need to be built in the front and back, and beds need to be purchased. Too much money is needed."
Wang Qizhi looked worried and said: "The 20,000 brothers will arrive tomorrow. If it is not completed in time, they will have to live in tents."
After being reminded like this, Hua Tingqian immediately had an idea and said: "You give me another twenty thousand taels of silver. I will use this money to invite thousands of craftsmen from nearby towns. I believe it can be completed in a few months."
Hearing this, Wang Qizhi took out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve without saying a word, took out thirteen pieces, and handed them to Huatingqian, "I will give you 130,000 taels of silver notes, and the remaining 10,000 taels will be used for Buy these craftsmen’s food, but I have to remind you, don’t line your own pockets, if I find out, no one can save you.”
Hua Tingqian chuckled and said, "Don't worry, kid. I'm only interested in construction. As for money, if I hadn't built the station, I wouldn't have bothered to ask you for money!"
He was not lying when he said this. He likes to gamble but not to whoring. He just likes to drink a sip of wine. He is single now and can’t spend a lot of money. Money is really an extraneous thing to him. The money he has saved over the years has already been It's tens of thousands of taels. Don't ask him how he got so much money. It's just not ill-gotten gains anyway.
To be honest, these people in the Jiefan camp often go out to do some tasks. They are all very rich, and none of them has a thousand or eight hundred silver coins. However, Wang Qizhi decided to give each person a salary of one tael of silver per month. In a few years, when they have gained more money, they will gradually improve the treatment of the brothers.
In fact, Wang Qizhi didn't know it yet, but the story of their sincere treatment of others in Jiefanying soon spread around the mouths of these craftsmen, which invisibly added a lot of good reputation to them, and many tasks followed one after another, allowing them to earn earned a lot.
Wang Qizhi waved his hand gently and said: "You go about your business first, I won't disturb you anymore."
After Wang Qizhi left, not long after he sat down, a brother from Jiefanying came to report that an ugly-looking man outside came to see him. He called himself Pang Tong, named Fengyang.
Wang Qizhi was a little surprised when he heard this. He had naturally heard of this man's reputation. Although he was a bit ugly, he was very strategic and insightful, and was on the same level as Wang Xuan's military advisor.
However, Wang Qizhi was a little curious. He didn't know this person, so why did he find him?
No matter what, with such a capable person coming to see him, Wang Qizhi definitely couldn't neglect him. He quickly said to the brother: "Please come in quickly."
After all, he felt that there was something wrong with this approach, so he decided to greet him easily.
At the gate of the Shenwu Sect, there stood a man with a stooped figure and an ugly face. Especially his big and small eyes, and his big mouth, which made people feel sick. It was indeed consistent with the description in the rumors. Nothing wrong.
Wang Qizhi was not the kind of person who judged people by their appearance. He didn't care too much about Pang Tong's appearance. He clasped his fists in a very polite salute and said, "I don't know that Mr. Fengyang is here. I am not welcoming you from afar. Please forgive me."
Pang Tong also didn't expect that not only was this young man not afraid of his appearance, but he was also so polite to him. His attitude was completely different from the previous ones.
Pang Tong really wanted to seek refuge with Wu Youding and Wang Xuan before, but they were scared off at the first sight of him. He was so angry that he cursed loudly. Then he figured out that it was really difficult for people who judge people by their appearance to do what they did. Unless something big happens, it's better to leave as soon as possible to avoid regrets later.
Although this young man didn't think he was ugly, Pang Tong still wanted to give it a try. He seemed to be arrogant and said: "You don't think I am ugly?"
A brother next to Wang Qizhi saw that this ugly monster dared to speak to his general like this. Wasn't this a slap in the face of their liberation camp? Even though he was unhappy and wanted to teach this guy a lesson, he was stopped by Wang Qizhi's stern look, and the brother immediately retreated.
Wang Qizhi still used a very polite tone towards Pang Tong and said: "I don't care about appearance. For example, some people look good-looking, but in fact they are dark inside and can do anything. And some people are ugly in appearance, but have a bright heart. People who often act chivalrously, who do you think is the truly ugly person among these two people?"
After hearing this, Pang Tong admired Wang Qizhi very much, so he changed his original attitude, bowed to Wang Qizhi very respectfully, and said: "Pang Tong, I would like to pay my respects to His Highness."
Wang Qizhi quickly supported him and took Pang Tong's hand as he walked away from the Shenwu Sect.
As soon as the two of them sat down, Wang Qizhi immediately asked someone to cut off a cup of tea and asked curiously: "How come a capable man like Mr. came to our small Chengjun City?"
Pang Tong took a sip of tea, moistened his lips, and then slowly said: "To be honest, I have been paying attention to His Highness's movements. After I learned that you were here, I followed you."
"You just arrived at the city and you just happened to recapture this small Chengjun city. I have seen everything you did during this period, which is enough to be called a wise lord, especially those who killed those in Jiefan camp. The scene of the troublemaker has won the hearts of all the people in the city. Based on this alone, Your Highness is sure to become a big deal."
Wang Qizhi was a little shocked when he heard that, and it took him a long time to calm down, "To be honest, when I killed those brothers, I didn't think much at all. I only knew that killing people should pay for their lives and debts should be repaid. This has been true since ancient times. The truth of change.”
Hearing this, Pang Tong nodded and said: "This is even more troublesome. If there is a wise master like you in the world, it will be a blessing for the people. It seems that I have found the right person to seek refuge this time."
Only then did Wang Qizhi come back to his senses and said, "Sir, did you come to seek refuge with us?"
