Chapter 112 Embankment Volunteers

Mr. Zhang left Luoyang and returned to Chang'an.

After receiving the order to be transferred, Liu Yuxi came to ask him about the Censorate's affairs, so he left with Xue Shi Zhang.

Li He studied hard in Changgu.

Jiao Haiqing must be busy at the foot of Pingshan Mountain.

Wei Renshi suddenly realized that he had no one to talk together.

Sometimes life is so lonely as snow!

Wei Renshi was on the river bank and watched the two hundred people below throwing stones into the river, preparing to slightly divert the river water and leave apart the river bank here so that they can repair the river bank.

"Shopkeeper Wei is leisurely and elegant." A voice came from behind Wei Renshi.

Wei Renshi looked back and saw that Liang Yuxi, the shopkeeper of Zuixiao Tower, had arrived at some point.

"Which eye does your eyes see me is leisurely and elegant? It is clearly eating ashes." Wei Renshi said.

"I heard that the river embankment is everywhere in Luoyang City, saying that Yimeng Tower saw the river embankment being disrepaired for a long time. I was afraid that once a flood hits, it will break through the river embankment and harm the people. So I paid for the river embankment to repair the river embankment for the people of Luoyang City to repay the support and love of the people of Luoyang City." Liang Yuxi said to Wei Renshi: "Now, the people in Luoyang City always praise Yimeng Tower's righteous act when they mention Yimeng Tower. Manager Wei is indeed capable of turning bad things into good things."

"So what are you going to do in Zuixiao Tower?" Wei Renshi asked with a smile. He knew that Liang Yuxi must have his purpose when he appeared here today.

Liang Yuxi replied: "Didn't Wei Langjun ask Zuixiao Tower if he dares to follow Yimeng Tower? What I promised was to dare. Tomorrow, there will be a hundred people coming to the river embankment. These are the people who were hired by Zuixiao Tower. Their food and accommodation will be managed by Zuixiao Tower, but they will follow the command of Manager Wei to build the river embankment together."

"Okay." Wei Renshi nodded.

"The other nine companies may also participate," Liang Yuxi said: "They will not be unable to see the benefits inside."

"They can only see a reputation." Wei Renshi smiled and said, "This is not bad. In this way, people will know that under the inspiration of the righteous act of spontaneously building the river embankment of Yimenglou and Zuixiao Tower, others also participated. In the end, it was the big head of our two families who had the reputation."

Liang Yuxi took another step forward and asked, "Shopkeeper Wei means that our two families have become examples. The other eight families participated after seeing our righteous deeds, which naturally complemented the high righteousness of our two families."

Wei Renshi nodded and said, "No, right. Also, did Manager Liang see the clothes worn by the people working below?"

Liang Yuxi walked to the side and looked down, saying, "It seems to be the same, why?"

"You go and take a look." Wei Renshi said.

Liang Yuxi looked down, then looked at Wei Renshi. He gritted his teeth, lifted up his clothes and rushed down the riverside, staggered for several steps before he stood firm, and then walked closer.

All the 200 people who work on their own clothes are the same, regardless of whether they are the same in style or color, only the difference between height, shortness, fatness and thinness. On the back of each person's clothes, a few big words were embroidered with white thread, saying: Yimeng Tower built a dike volunteer.

Liang Yuxi lowered his head thoughtfully for a while, then turned around and climbed up the river bank with difficulty.

Liang Yuxi, covered in dust, looked a little embarrassed, but his eyes were shaking. He walked to Wei Renshi and said, "I also want to make a hundred sets of clothes of the same style and color, embroider the Zuixiao Tower and build the embankment volunteers!"

Wei Renshi smiled: "The son can teach you!"

Liang Yu's eyebrows twitched a few times, resisting the urge to kick the young man in front of him down from the river bank, and said, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Wei, for the reminder."

"For outsiders, this is an obvious sign. When you see this sign, the rumors about Yimenglou's righteous deeds in the city will be confirmed. Moreover, everyone wears this way, which also gives people a sense of uniformity. This feeling can actually enhance people's trust and favorability for this group, which is very important." Wei Renshi said: "For these people who work, it can also increase their unity. Moreover, the title of volunteers can give them a positive identity. This positive identity can increase their enthusiasm and make them gradually feel that they are not being punished, but doing good things for the people. This will naturally make them work more attentively."

Liang Yuxi actually didn't understand what Wei Renshi said, but he could probably guess what it meant.

It is to make outsiders more convinced that Yimeng Tower’s righteous act of repairing the river embankment will make the Yimeng Tower’s righteous act more deeply rooted in people’s hearts and easier to be discovered, and it also deepens people’s impression of Yimeng Tower’s righteous act of repairing the river embankment. For those who work, give them a better name and give them a favor, so that they can work harder and willingly.

Liang Yuxi told Wei Renshi what he thought.

Wei Renshi showed a very appreciative smile and said to him: "The son is indeed very teachable!"

Liang Yuxi's face turned dark, she raised her hand and slapped her mouth, turned around and left.

Seeing that he successfully left Liang Yuxi, Wei Renshi grinned happily. This was one of the few fun things in the past few days.

Not long after leaving Liang Yuxi, Wei Renshi had no time to watch the cloud above his head floating away, and found that he was covered in a shadow.

"Greetings to your husband." Sun Peng bowed and said, "The river embankment from Chang'an City has arrived in Yimeng Building."

"Okay, I'll go back after this cloud floats away." Wei Renshi raised his head again.

Sun Peng retreated and stood beside him and waited quietly.

A rare moment of being alone.

Wei Renshi felt a pity, and stood up, walked down the river bank, and went up the carriage.

The river embankment is an official of the Dushuiguan River and Canal Bureau. The grade is not high, and it is only under the eighth rank. It is in charge of the construction of dikes, ditches, and fishing.

Although the grade is not high, he is a professional water conservancy engineer.

Wei Renshi has never neglected the technicians. Especially in this era, no one knows better than him that technology is the primary productive force. These primary productive forces are in the hands of these people.

In Yimeng Tower, even though the river embankment came over quickly, his stomach was extremely hungry, and he drooled in his stomach facing a table of delicious dishes, and he did not move his chopsticks before Wei Renshi arrived.

This is the person Zhang sent him to help, and it is also the person Zhang said that he is most likely to become the next baron in the empire. So he dare not be arrogant and rash.

"Let the envoy wait for a long time." The young man who came in with the voice was the person Zhang Xueshi's words who was as premature as a demon.
