Vol 2 Chapter 803: The hen laying golden eggs (three shifts)

Early winter.
The two official roads from Beijing to Northwest, and from Beijing to Hexi were started at the same time.
Taking advantage of the fact that the weather hasn't really cooled down, race against time, the road is going fast, and two concrete roads are laid at the same time.
A lot of preparatory work has been done in the early stage, and huge benefits have been demonstrated at this time.
Once the engineering team is in place, pull up the crew, level the road, and pave the cement
Shaofu Cement Workshop, choose a site directly along the way, repair the cellar and burn cement.
Recruiting staff put up signs to recruit workers in various townships every day.
The cook is busy from morning to night.
The grain and grass were transported to the construction site in trucks.
The farmers in the nearby villages carried a burden and sold their surplus food and vegetables to the canteen on the construction site.
A large number of talented child students recruited from the Department of Mathematics and Mathematics of Shanhe Academy sit in the construction site every day, busy paying and keeping accounts.
The students of engineering and geology ran up and down with the engineering team to learn experience.
Even the students of Yin and Yang department came to join in the fun, saying that they wanted to help the engineering team watch Yin and Yang.
The engineering team was very disgusted and thought they were getting in the way.
The cement road is laid along the official road all the way, watching the yin and yang of a fart.
The engineering team is not rare, but Chen Erzhuang is particularly rare for this group of students of Yin and Yang.
Chen Erzhuang ran with the construction site, leading people to determine the addresses of the toll stations and rest stops. Just need Mr. Yin and Yang to see the venue.
He wanted to hire people from the Qin Tianjian.
As a result, Qin Tianjian couldn't walk away with every excuse, and he was unwilling to run with the engineering team, so he was very tired.
Eat and live in the wild every day, and the weather is cold at night, who can bear it.
Even if Chen Erzhuang offered a high salary, the officials of the Qin Tianjian were not happy.
The officials of the Qin Tianjian are not short of money.
The big noble households in the capital will invite them to anyone who needs to see yin and yang if they have a happy event. The cost given is also sufficient.
It can be said that the Qintian Supervisor is the only yamen that relies on self-reliance and leads a prosperous life.
Other yamen can't be compared, not comparable.
Of course, if you want to enter the Qintian Supervisor, you must have real skills.
The guy with half a bucket of water can fool people who don't know how to do it, but can't fool the fiery eyes of the Qin Tianjian.
It can be said that everyone in the Qintian Supervisor has a unique skill.
When Chen Erzhuang invited people who did not move the Qin Tianjian, he planned to invite people from nearby Taoist temples.
As a result, the students from the Yin-Yang branch of Shanhe Academy came to the door by themselves.
Make Chen Erzhuang happy.
"Will you see the Yin-Yang meeting? Will the site selection be?"
"Yes! We will all. Learned all of this."
"Do you have a solid study? Compared with the people of the Qintian Supervisor, how do you level it?"
"Not as good as being a supervisor, but enough to choose an address for Manager Chen."
Chen Erzhuang's excited heart became so cold.
If these young students were a little humble, he still felt a little sure.
However, one by one, Chen Erzhuang felt a little weaker.
"You should stay here, get familiar with everyone first, and I will set out to choose the location after two days."
"Everything depends on Director Chen."
Chen Erzhuang sent the group of students and called his nephew.
His nephew Chen Dong, relying on a skill in raising horses, entered the Shanhe Academy through special recruitment.
This time, Chen Erzhuang deliberately brought Chen Dong around to practice.
"You take my greeting card and go to Baiyun to see please... Forget it, I'll go personally. You go, I'm afraid that no one can be invited."
Chen Erzhuang took a greeting card and personally went to Baiyun Temple to invite people.
Daoist Xuanqing was not invited, but two apprentices of Daoist Xuanqing were invited.
With the two chiefs, hurried down the mountain and returned to the construction site.
The students of Yin Yang Division were immediately unhappy when they saw it.
"Does Manager Chen distrust us?"
Chen Erzhuang said haha, "Learning from each other and confirming each other. I am a layman for what Yin and Yang family, what Taoist school. By then, I will listen to whoever you say is more reasonable."
"absurd!"
"It's you guys who are really ridiculous, what kind of yin and yang scholars, hahaha..." The two Taoist masters Bai Yunguan made fun of these students unceremoniously.
This beam can be regarded as knotted.
Chen Erzhuang pinched his nose. He didn't intend to provoke a fight between the two sides, really not intentionally.
He just hopes that the site can be selected smoothly, that the toll station will be built, and the business can be opened smoothly.
It's really not intentional!
Chen Erzhuang slipped away with a guilty conscience.
...
The construction of two concrete roads in the world at the same time has made many people secretly bewildered by their financial resources.
Rich people!
I am afraid Sihai is not only the strongest firm in Beijing, but also the strongest firm in the world.
Cheng En Bo Zhu resigned a lot.
He was very moved.
"Business now is different from the past. Nowadays, the capital is full of opportunities. It depends on whether we can seize it."
The butler echoed: "Uncle's point is reasonable."
Cheng En Bo Zhu Ci looked at his eldest son, very heartbroken.
As early as the first emperor was alive, he invited the elder son to seal the eldest son.
When Emperor Wen De became the throne, he saw that the title of the Zhu family could not be passed down.
"After the old man's death, the title of the Zhu family may have come to an end. Boss, you must not have grievances in your heart. This is a general trend, and you can't be rebelled. The town government is hereditary, and now it is not a town that was changed to the fifth generation. State Hou."
Master Zhu had no expression on his face. This issue has been discussed many times.
Father Cheng Enbo always thought that he could not inherit the title, and there would be grievances.
Ok!
He admitted that he did have a lot of grievances at first.
He has been named the princely son, and as a result, if he changes to the emperor, his role as the princely son is probably not recognized.
When the old father passed away, the title of Zhu family was gone.
In this situation, whoever changes, will inevitably complain.
However, after a long time, his father Cheng Enbo always mentioned him again, and the initial grievances have now disappeared.
"Father, don't worry, my son knows how powerful it is. Without a title, the Zhu family can be rich for generations."
The Zhu family has this confidence.
The richest man in the capital, even if he was badly beaten by Gu Jiu, he still had three pounds of nails.
In recent years, the Zhu family has shrunk their business, carefully managed their traditional superior projects, and kept up with the pace of the four seas commercial firms, and they have recovered a little bit more or less.
At least don't worry about money.
Cheng Enbo Zhuci is very pleased, "If you can figure it out, the old man is relieved. The old man's body, I don't know if it will last for a few years. Taking advantage of the old man's work, I will plan a few more ways for you. The old man looked, still had to follow Madam Zhao."
Master Zhu frowned, "Father is really optimistic about His Majesty the Great Prince? Your Majesty has not established a prince, and all the princes have a chance."
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci stroked his beard and solemnly said: "Because your Majesty did not establish a prince, the chances of the prince are greater. Because he is the eldest son, he is the rightful successor without a prince. No courtier can refute this."
Master Zhu frowned, "Even so, there is no need for our Zhu family to follow Madam Zhao. Isn't it okay for our Zhu family to focus on doing our own business?"
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci stared, dissatisfied: "Short-sightedness. How many years can you do your own business with one mind? Times are different. If you want to make the Zhu family wealthy for generations, you must follow the wind. What is the wind direction? Today's Madam Zhao is the direction of the wind. You see, she has a hammer from the east to the west. It seems that she does not have a main business. The old man has carefully studied it. In fact, she has always had a main business and a core."
Master Zhu was curious, but he didn't admit it, "It's not just building roads and building houses."
Cheng Enbo Zhuci snorted coldly, "Shortsightedness! Building roads and houses is just a means. The real main business is to control the economy and people's livelihood of one place and one city. Just say Xinmin County, how lively it is, you have seen it with your own eyes. Xinmin County Why is there today? It can be said that all businesses depend on the four seas.
The only purpose of Madam Zhao's various methods is to establish Xinmin County and attract popularity. In the past, the old man had only one mind to make money, and never thought of controlling the economy and people's livelihood of one city and one place. Unfortunately, it was too late to wake up, and the Zhu family had already missed the opportunity. If the Zhu family had the structure and strength of the four seas back then, how could it have fallen to where it is today? "
Cheng En Bo Zhu Ci saw through Gu Jiu's layout.
That is to make the imperial court cast a rat avoidance device.
The court cooperated with her and feared her, but did not dare to move her.
Of course, her identity is the prince’s wife.
Cheng Enbo Zhuci believed that the more important reason was that the court did not dare to take risks.
The household department can achieve a balance of income and expenditure, business taxes have risen sharply, and the imperial expenditure can be solved without increasing the taxation of the common people. All this is inseparable from Xinmin County and the Sihai Commercial Bank.
To move Gu Jiu is to move the trading houses of the four seas.
No one is confident that after taking over Sihai Commercial Bank, Xinmin County will continue to maintain its current vitality and popularity.
No one can guarantee that business taxes will increase steadily under their own management.
In the past experience, the imperial court had no money, so it took the common people and increased taxes!
The current experience is that if you have no money, you can find where you have money and collect more business tax.
Only in the area of ​​business tax, the court experience is shallow. No one dares to pack a ticket and say that he can do it.
Take the capital city as an example. There are new projects every year and there are new tax sources.
These projects are not led by the whole world, but are also influenced by the whole world.
The world is like a treasure, there are always surprises.
Master Zhu still couldn't understand what his father Cheng Enbo said. He frowned and pondered the connection.
Cheng Enbo Zhuci said: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you just remember to follow Mrs. Zhao. This time, the four seas started to build two concrete roads at the same time, but there was no external fundraising. All costs are borne independently by the four seas. Old man Guess, the pressure on the world is quite heavy."
Master Zhu said: "Father has misunderstood. Although Sihai did not raise funds, he borrowed millions of taels from the Shaofu Bank. It is equivalent to taking your majesty's money and selling your majesty."
Cheng En Bo Zhuci shook his head, "You can't say that. You can borrow several million taels from the Shaofu Bank, and the interest will cost hundreds of thousands taels a year. This is not about selling well, but taking care of the Shaofu Bank. Business. The old man plans to meet with Madam Zhao and invest in these two concrete roads."
"Mrs. Zhao did not raise funds outside, and I am afraid she will not accept the money from our Zhu family. Father is afraid it was in vain."
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci said, "Always try it. If you haven't tried it, you will know that it won't work. If you can invest in these two cement roads, the Zhu family will be rich in the next few decades."
