Hearing that Han You wanted to teach how to run the villa, You Mingtang looked ecstatic and almost fell down when he ran over, thanking him profusely and speaking incoherently.
Happiness comes so fast.
God is pity. In the past two months, You Mingtang has been thinking about the villa in his dreams. If he hadn't been on official business, he would have wanted to go to the capital in person.
In fact, making money in the villa was secondary. He just wanted to support many people, and these people could support other businesses. He never thought that a Yongcheng without aristocratic families would make many people starve and freeze. , these are all his responsibilities, and he wants to make up for it.
In this way, Han You said, asked, and understood.
The more he learned about You Mingtang, the more he appreciated You Mingtang. No, the word "appreciation" is not accurate. Han You felt that he should admire You Mingtang.
This guy's name was given by himself, and he is famous, just like his son is capable.
You Mingtang is indeed a bit famous.
He can rely on his irreplaceable position in the hearts of the people of Yongcheng, unite the people, and use all possible means to eradicate the so-called aristocratic families in Yongcheng, but without the connections of the aristocratic families, he cannot replace the aristocratic families and earn a lot of money.
This was also You Mingtang's biggest dilemma. After hearing that the Four Seasons Villa was making a fortune every day, he slowly started to think about it.
He doesn't know anything about business. He only knows that the Four Seasons Villa in the capital can make money, so if he builds one, he will definitely make money too.
I should also mention here that the reason why this guy is called Sanji Villa is actually because people misunderstand him and think that he is Han You's man and that he is related to the Emperor's personal army.
As for whether Han You would mess with him one day if he found out, You Mingtang no longer cared. He didn't even care much about the court or the emperor.
This is also the reason why he didn't get any discount after Lao Ba ascended the throne. This guy is very ambitious.
At the earliest time, I asked for money from Zhezi, but the court did not give it, and the three Zhezi came to nothing.
Just because of this matter, You Mingtang felt that the new king was just like the previous emperor. Damn it, congratulations to you. At worst, I would be dismissed from office. I don’t want to do it anymore.
As for the so-called "financing", he is actually extremely helpless. He killed all the aristocratic families, which is undoubtedly the same as killing the goose to lay eggs. If the little money saved is used to pay wages to the people, it will not last long, so he just eats and builds the villa while making money. .
It was just because of the work and materials that he was given a blow.
There is no work material and no work. He promised the people to take care of the food, and the money can only go out but not come in.
Another thing is that I can't tell the people that the Three Seasons Villa is on hold. I can only grit my teeth and think of a way.
If Han You hadn't come, You Mingtang would have wanted to dress up as a bandit again and lead his men to the official road to rob the family's caravan.
This guy is also very smart. He doesn't mess with real aristocratic families. He only looks for those unlucky ones who are between wealthy families and country squires to rob. He has oil and water, not too much, and can suppress any trouble. He won't let Yongcheng and others suffer. Make trouble for yourself.
"The Four Seasons Villa under my name is able to have what it is today because of the right time, location, people, and a lot of luck..."
"There are many wealthy people in Beijing, but they actually don't have much worldliness. Customer experience is the most important thing..."
"I can give you 100,000 guan to build a road. It doesn't need to be long. It can connect to Pengcheng. After the Three Seasons Villa is built, just count me as one of the members..."
"Being able to rally the people of the city is actually half the battle..."
"So we need to build the road first. Once the road is built, everything will be easier..."
"The most important thing is to create momentum..."
"My gym is not in a hurry. If the materials are delivered there, you will keep 20%... Forget it, just keep 50%. I will order people to collect the materials in the North. I don't care about this little money..."
"You are not doing the project right. I will write a letter. You can find someone to go to the capital and hand it over to Zhu Shang, the steward of Four Seasons Villa. Within ten days of receiving the letter, the craftsmen who participated in the construction of Four Seasons Villa will come over to help you..."
Han You spoke patiently and expressed his opinion. The key point was to build the road. Once the road was built, it would be easy to talk about anything.
Unconsciously, night came, and it was only when Han You's mouth was dry that he stood up and rubbed his waist.
"That's about it. Someone from Four Seasons Villa will come to help Mr. You. It's not a big problem, but I won't see any profit in the short term. I'm going to the Southland. If nothing else, I'll get some money. I'll have someone take it with me. Come here, take it as what you owe me, or convert it into a share. In short, the initial investment is huge, so take your time, don’t..."
After hesitating for a moment, Han You smiled bitterly and said: "Remember one thing, never ask any aristocratic family to invest money. You should know very well that aristocratic families eat people without spitting out their bones. However, you can attract investment, that is, let the aristocratic family invest in Yongcheng. If you use money to invest in other properties, don’t call it Three Seasons Villa, call it Yongcheng Four Seasons Villa. If after I return from my trip south, your villa meets my expectations, you can let the news out that this is the second Four Seasons Villa. "
"This...isn't this..." You Mingtang stood up suddenly, straightened his official robe, took three steps back, knelt on the ground and saluted first, then banged his head on the ground three times and cried out.
"The general's great kindness and kindness will never be repaid by You Mingtang. You Mingtang, on behalf of the people of Yongcheng, thanks the general for his kindness and resigned..."
You Mingtang, whose forehead was red and swollen, was already crying, and the big stone on his heart fell suddenly, like a dream.
Han You nodded slightly and accepted this great gift: "You don't need to accompany me anymore. I will take people around the city. If nothing happens, we will leave early tomorrow morning and order someone to prepare a bedroom for us."
"I obey your orders."
You Mingtang, whose heart was filled with excitement, stood up and hurried out of the main hall, shouting a lot.
All the subordinate officials standing in a row at the door knelt down and kowtowed three times.
It can be seen that You Mingtang is indeed running the officialdom of Yongcheng like an iron barrel. It is like this without aristocratic family. If the heart is together and the strength is used together, the result will be twice the result with half the effort.
Han You put his hands behind his back and led the people out of the main hall and left the government office.
There was a row of soldiers in armor standing at the door. The leader was very strong. I don't know how long he had been waiting at the door.
Seeing Han You coming out, the leader knelt down on one knee and spoke angrily: "Last general, Jiang Chong, the captain of Zhechong Prefecture in Yongcheng, has met the general."
"Get up." Han You nodded: "General Jiang, you were His Majesty's confidant when he was in the East China Sea and served as Captain Guo Yi of the Marine Corps, right?"
"To the general, yes."
"Then I can trust you. Use one sentence, within ten words, to describe the local magistrate You Mingtang You. Don't think too much, just say it right away."
A trace of confusion flashed across Jiang Chong's face, and he subconsciously said: "Love the people like a son, be kind to deceive people's hearts, govern well, and talk nonsense."
Han You laughed loudly: "Twelve words."
Jiang Chong laughed dryly: "The last general is a rough man."
"Loving the people like a son and being kind to others are very contradictory, and good governance is also very contradictory to talking nonsense."
"I'll tell you the truth, General. This idiot knows... the general is rude. Don't blame me, General."
"I am also in the military, so I can say whatever I think and speak freely."
"Okay, let me speak frankly. This stupid magistrate is very smart. As for how smart he is, I can't tell you. In short, he is smarter than the general. The general only controls the army and doesn't care about Yongcheng. He just You know, the people in the city respect him and protect him. This idiot says the same thing in Yongcheng. No matter what he says, the people believe it. You can also see it when you enter the city. The people are always smiling, not because they are rich. , because we know that this dog day is here and we will not go hungry. As long as we are not hungry, the people will smile, walk slowly all day long, work, and live without fear."
"I can see it." Han You said strangely: "Since you said so, he should be a good official, but why are you so stupid?"
"This..." Jiang Chong blushed: "This bitch always takes advantage of his subordinates and brothers."
"How to say?"
"We are asked to do all the dirty work and tiring work, and they are so fucking arrogant that the people are delicate and delicate. Brothers eat the royal food. They will not die of hunger, but the people cannot. If they don't work for a day, they will starve. How can we Qiu Ba , since we are eating the royal food, we will help the people do more physical work, dig mountains, build roads, build cities, even if it is fucking corvee work, we will be asked to do it. As long as we can be asked to do it, we will not let the people do it. The brothers all wanted to beat him up."
Han You laughed loudly: "Then did you do it?"
Jiang Chong also laughed: "The general is a bitch. I thought what that bitch said made sense, so... I did it."
Han You turned his head and looked to the south, muttering to himself.
I wish that every government in the south would be famous.
