"Uh..." Mr. Lu gasped and asked after a long time, "You mean, it will be completed in five more days?"
"That's right, I commanded you," Chen Taizhong said proudly, "Old Lu, I've worked really hard to handle this for you."
He was absolutely right, it was really hard work.
Construction in winter is inherently challenging, but Chen Taizhong served him a lot of meat and fish, and had only one requirement: to work continuously and light a fire at night!
Of course, this is because he wants to achieve some political achievements to meet the requirements of the village, but he also has other ideas, which is to make the villagers work as hard and tired as possible, and it is best to... be so tired that they fall asleep after working.
situation.
This has to mention his selfishness. To be honest, the road is not long or short. It is more than one kilometer and nearly two kilometers. Although the task of the village is just to level the land to make a roadbed, it does not matter at all.
There is no doubt that the amount of this project is definitely not small.
In the early stage, Li Fanding did not put all the labor into it. As for what this guy planned, Chen Taizhong didn't want to think about it. But then Bai Jie's incident happened and it was delayed for another two days. No matter how you look at it, this project cannot be completed on time.
Work is done.
Unless you rent road construction machinery!
Faced with this situation, Chen Taizhong still wanted to complete the project ahead of schedule and achieve political success. So, in addition to mobilizing the strong labor force in the village to join the battle, he himself had to do something. Yes, he used immortal skills to help build the road.
Large stones were transported directly using the Xumi Ring. When encountering gravel sections that were difficult to construct, the trick of "turning fossils into mud" was used. While the stones were softening, the villagers were asked to step up construction and level the land.
No matter how lacking in emotional intelligence Chen Taizhong is, he also knows that such skills cannot be shown in front of others, so he must torment the villagers under him until they are dizzy so that his actions will not be so noticeable.
What he hopes most is that as soon as the villagers wake up, they can go to work without thinking about "Hey, where did those two big rocks go yesterday?" or - "Strange, I remember this section of the road, before.
It seems like there are a lot of rocks” and the like.
Fortunately, so far, he has not felt that anyone has discovered his secret. It is precisely because of his frequent actions that the progress of the project was ridiculously fast, which almost made Mr. Lu's jaw drop.
"Are you sure?" Even so, Mr. Lu still felt it was a bit outrageous, "Let's do it this afternoon. I'll go to your place in the afternoon and personally deliver some money."
He wanted to investigate for himself. Ever since the two of them agreed to arrange some labor for Dong Linshui, Mr. Lu felt that Village Chief Chen really had a very good personality.
At the beginning, the two did not get along very well. Moreover, Mr. Lu had met countless people in business for many years, so he directly classified Chen Taizhong into the "Yamen" column.
Yes, although Donglinshui is very bitter, Mr. Lu knows that for those ambitious and motivated officials' children, the more difficult the place, the greater the significance of temporary employment training!
The suffering you experience now will evolve into precious wealth in the future - no matter in terms of experience and tempering of character, what's the point of being a little bitter? No matter how hard it is, it won't kill you, and besides, you don't have to stay long.
The conflict between the two at the wine table was not intense, but it was precisely because of this conflict that it more and more confirmed Mr. Lu's suspicion: This guy is experienced in doing things, and his words are also weird, and he has a bit of a Pi Li Yang Qiu flavor. At first glance,
He should be a child from an official family.
When he later gave the money, he saw Chen Taizhong carelessly pocketing the money. Mr. Lu's impression of Village Chief Chen became that of a "yamen" who was both greedy and ambitious.
Of course, this was his misunderstanding. He thought that Chen Taizhong was in the immortal world, enjoying the worship of immortals, immortals and other immortals. He didn't know how many, and his vision was so high. How could he feel uneasy about a small bribe from a mortal?
However, when Chen Taizhong asked for jobs for the villagers, Mr. Lu began to feel a little shocked: Is this really planning to do something in Donglinshui? Is he not in a hurry to go back?
Regardless of whether he is an honest official or a corrupt official, as long as he can do practical things for the people, he is a good official. Boss Lu is a businessman and very slippery, but this does not mean that he does not have his own likes and dislikes deep down in his heart.
Therefore, Chen Taizhong's image in his mind immediately improved a lot. When he heard that Donglinshui completed half of the remaining project in five days without any mechanical equipment, he probably wanted to come and take a look.
To be honest, he had other thoughts in mind during this trip. If Xiao Chen was really a practical person, then rather than letting outsiders make some money, it would be better to make it easier for Village Chief Chen.
Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Indeed, in just five days, the nearly 800-meter-long bumpy road became smoother. It was eight meters wide and could basically accommodate three trucks walking side by side.
"Dong Linshui, don't we only have more than 200 strong laborers?" Mr. Lu couldn't believe his eyes, "You let them all?"
Chen Taizhong smiled and said nothing, but he was very proud in his heart. With me here, what kind of progress is this? "Haha, Mr. Lu, did you bring the money?"
"See what you said," Mr. Lu was in a good mood. Although it would cost a lot of money and materials to complete the project ahead of schedule, he didn't care. "I'll leave you five thousand this time. I'll count you four thousand. It's an extra thousand."
... If the villagers are working too hard, you should give them some subsidies."
There are exceptions and gifts here. Businessmen are also human beings. If things are done quickly, it is normal to pay more. Isn’t everything just about making everything go as planned? What’s more, Boss Lu has other ideas?
"By the way, talking about this progress, Taizhong, tell me, what should I do with this section of the road blocked by the police?" Boss Lu frowned, very unhappy, "If this section of road is not repaired, what will happen?
Building roads is no different. Really...well, I am worried to death."
"It's not my business, we agreed a long time ago," Chen Taizhong didn't want to get involved in this nonsense. He took the five thousand in his hand and expressed his position before he could put it in his pocket. He was really fucked up.
"Lao Lu, you are the one who caused the most trouble in the end. I'm just a village chief. I'm still an agent. I don't care about anything but my words."
In this state, don't you forget to keep it clear? Mr. Lu looked at Chen Taizhong carefully and felt a little in his heart. This guy really has a bright future. He will take care of what should be taken care of and will not interfere with what should not be taken care of. He is young
Qing Qing has such self-cultivation and sense of propriety. Will he be able to be a junior official in the future?
Jinlin is not a thing in the pond, but it turns into a dragon when it encounters a storm!
The more Chen Taizhong behaves like this, the more Boss Lu wants to make friends, "I, Old Lu, are not afraid of your jokes. I guess you really need to take care of this matter. My energy... is limited!"
