Chapter 1286 Drinking Luzhou’s tea and eating Luzhou’s dried bamboo shoots and stewed pork skin (please subscribe and vote)
A group of Luzhou officials could not help but feel refreshed when they received the news that they had come to the Governor's Mansion to discuss the construction of a cement official road.
After arriving neatly at the Governor's Mansion, once again, Li Ke, the elegant Prince of Wu, was still squatting behind the chief case.
Sitting down as steady as a mountain, his expression was still so elegant and reserved, maintaining a state similar to that of a clay sculpture.
Cheng Chubi was standing in the middle of the lobby, holding a long whip in his hand and poking a huge map on the ground in front of him.
He talked about the plan to build two new cement official roads at the request of Luzhou officials.
One leads to Rongzhou and the other leads to Rongzhou.
"The Governor-General's Office has already reported to the imperial court and will invite Rongzhou and Rongzhou to cooperate fully with our Luzhou Governor-General's Office."
"In addition, the Han and Tang dynasties have decided to build a large cement factory in Rongzhou, where there is coal, to meet the demand for road construction."
After finishing the good news first, Cheng Chubi laughed happily when he saw the relaxed expressions of the Luzhou officials.
"But, I still have a few requests to make..."
"First, the wages of all road construction workers must be paid every ten days, and no arrears are allowed."
"second……"
As Cheng Chubi raised his fingers and saliva flew everywhere, the smiles on the faces of the Luzhou officials quickly disappeared.
Moreover, the more I listened to it, the more I felt a toothache. I always felt that Cheng Sanlang had restricted everything.
Although everyone is here for political achievements, they are not like you, Cheng Sanlang, and there is still no gain in building roads.
Just when a group of Luzhou officials looked at each other in disbelief and had the idea of retreating unhappily.
Cheng Chubi then smiled and smiled.
"It is true that the emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers. If you want the horses to run, but also want the horses not to eat grass, that is impossible."
"So, although the Metropolitan Governor's Office has restricted so many regulations, if you can do it seriously, you can still make a lot of money."
"Please believe Cheng, why I dare to say this is because the south of Luzhou is mostly mountainous and has many valleys.
When building roads, not only do you have to regularly excavate mountains, but you also have to build bridges, so the price on average is at least 30% higher than here in the plains."
"Please think about it carefully. If it is 30% higher, what is the concept?"
#####
Cheng Chubi gestured with his fingers and saw the eyes of these Luzhou officials starting to shine again.
Then he said slowly and leisurely. "From Luzhou to Rongzhou, it must be at least two hundred miles. One mile can save this amount. Two hundred miles, haha..."
As soon as they heard that there was money to be made, and it seemed to be a lot of money, the eyes of all the Luzhou officials suddenly lit up.
However, these bottom-line scholars were not happy to see Cheng Chubi continue to talk openly and silently about what he said.
Then I saw the Luzhou magistrate stood up, saluted Cheng Chubi, and said with a righteous expression.
"Please, Chief Cheng Shi Mo, don't look down on us. We are also officials of the imperial court. We came to this remote place in Luzhou under the holy orders. We are also serving the imperial court and guarding the place..."
The officials in Luzhou stood up to speak one after another and expressed their stance collectively.
We don't do it just for the sake of making money, we are all serious people and we are all willing to serve the country.
Please don’t think of us as a group of low-level people who enjoy making money from Adu.
If it weren't for the sake of everyone getting along in harmony, and the frequent winks between Li Ke and Fang Jun.
Cheng Chubi almost wanted to reason properly with the gangster.
It’s really not a matter of leverage, but these guys are so shameless that Cheng Sanlang, an honest man, can’t stand it.
Of course, no matter what, the willingness of these local Luzhou officials to join in this major transportation construction in Luzhou is very beneficial to the development of Luzhou.
This will also allow Cheng Chubi and others to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the construction of southern Luzhou.
Li Ke, a long-sleeved royal courtesan who was good at dancing, understood the psychological activities of these gentlemen very well.
After all, he used to be just as hypocritical as these guys, but he has become even more hypocritical after spending a long time with Brother Chu Bi.
However, facing this group of people, Li Ke still performed his duties as the governor of Luzhou very well.
By the time these guys left one by one with smiles on their faces, they were already eager to go do big things.
Li Ke then exhaled and rubbed his face, which was sore due to his hypocritical and exaggerated fake smile.
"These guys want both face and money, haha..."
Fang Jun on the side could not help but look at the Luzhou officials leaving outside the lobby door and murmured something.
Li Ke nodded and agreed.
"This is normal. After all, not everyone is as straightforward as our brothers."
"However, if they are willing to come forward, they can at least speed up our construction of official roads in Luzhou."
"Brother Chu Bi, next, you have to report to my father quickly and turn around so that my father can say hello to Rongzhou and Rongzhou."
"In addition, I need to get my father some more specialties like ours, like the green tea, black tea and so on that you made, Brother Chu Bi..."
Cheng Chubi nodded and said, "Don't worry, there are gifts not only from your father, but also from his father and my father.
There are also gifts from the shareholders of our Hantang Commercial Bank and the elders of the shareholders, I have already been preparing them."
"The gifts you give will definitely satisfy all the elders."
"Send so many people?"
"Of course, everyone, these Luzhou specialties we are giving are not just for the enjoyment of the elders."
"This is to promote our Luzhou specialties very well."
#####
"Think about it, our elders drink tea from Luzhou and use bamboo and wood utensils from Luzhou.
Eating Luzhou’s stewed pork skin with dried bamboo shoots and various Luzhou cured delicacies.
Enjoying Luzhou's longan, holding Luzhou's paper umbrella, sleeping on Luzhou's brown couch, I still use it at home..."
When I think about it, so many important officials of the Tang Dynasty could inadvertently help Luzhou with so many advertisements, especially once it became popular in Chang'an.
The huge rewards it could bring immediately made Li Ke's eyes light up and he raised his thumbs towards Brother Chu Bi.
"Brother Chu Bi, you have the brains to give it away. You must give it away. I will have to think carefully about it later.
My elders also prepared a gift for each of them."
Fang Jun couldn't help but feel happy, he patted his chest with great momentum and said.
"I can also ask my mother to help us promote it..."
"Then we'd better make a careful calculation of how many gifts we need to give, who should give what, and how many."
In the Governor's Mansion, the three young men who had been playing cards for three consecutive days finally regained their fighting spirit.
Even if the sky is still wet and the rain continues, it can't dampen their ambition to make a lot of money...
