But along the way, Li Baoyu saw many craftsmen taking a rest. After questioning, Li Baoyu realized belatedly that all of this was due to his poor arrangements.
Because of his arrangements, many places were without raw materials.
Those craftsmen were unable to start work and had to wait somewhere.
But since people have already started working, they must be paid their wages.
It's not just a matter of losing some money.
The bigger problem is that some people can still get paid if they are idle and do nothing, while some people can only get so much wages if they are busy working to death.
This will definitely make those hard-working craftsmen feel extremely unbalanced.
When they work, they may be very negative.
Today is only the first day, and there are such big omissions in my own arrangements.
This made Li Baoyu very frustrated.
Li Baoyu couldn't help but asked Shangguan Tingzhi beside him: "Mr. Shangguan, am I so bad? Can't even do this little thing well?"
Upon hearing Li Baoyu's inquiry, Shangguan Tingzhi smiled and said, "My lord, you have done a good job."
"First of all, you have determination and perseverance, and you want to build the city well. This kind of determination and perseverance is a valuable asset that is not easy to buy."
"Secondly, you worked hard to understand the various laws of construction, practiced it personally, and went deep into every place at the grassroots level. This is also very outstanding."
"The only thing that the prince did not do well - I still remember what the emperor said, and I am willing to share it with the prince - professional matters should be left to professional talents, and laymen should not command experts."
"Because architectural issues are not something that the prince has any knowledge of. In this regard, the prince is actually a layman."
"So, just leave these expert things to the experts. In fact, what the prince needs to do is not to do everything personally and cover every aspect."
"Because a person's energy is limited, it is impossible to do everything by himself. Just like at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin ordered troops, the more the better. As the emperor, Liu Bang only needed to use a few geniuses like Han Xin.
"
"However, the emperor needs to pay attention to the fact that he must know people and make good use of them. Many talents are available, but they must be controlled, restricted, and feared."
Li Baoyu still respected Shangguan Tingzhi.
For Shangguan Tingzhi, he also wanted to show off his talents in front of the new king.
Therefore, when Li Baoyu asked herself about this matter.
Shangguan Tingzhi imparted his experience and insights to King Lu without reservation.
However, Li Baoyu was always a young man, young and energetic. At this time, he could not listen to too many admonitions and lessons.
Therefore, after Shangguan Tingzhi said something, he saw an impatient look on Li Baoyu's face, but he still endured it and was ready to listen to it to the end.
After discovering this, Shangguan Tingzhi smiled slightly and ended the conversation without saying much.
Next, Li Baoyu listened to Shangguan Tingzhi's advice and left all these matters to professionals.
Sure enough, in the next few days, there was no more idle personnel.
The construction of the city was also carried out step by step.
At this time, Lao Song had also been arranged to the asxs city on King Lu's side.
This old Song Dynasty was very cunning.
That’s right, no businessman is a traitor. The essence of a businessman is to gain profits.
There are actually many such businessmen.
However, because whether it is the Huaxia Kingdom or the Xinlu Kingdom this time.
The system and supervision procedures are very strict.
This left Lao Song with no room to perform at all.
Until this time, Lao Song came to .asxs.city.
He soon figured out that everything in this city was decided by King Lu.
And King Lu will be the emperor of the new Lu Kingdom in the future.
As long as he catches the line of King Lu, he will definitely be able to achieve great success in the Xinlu Kingdom in the future, and even become the richest man in the Xinlu Kingdom!
Thinking of this, Lao Song was immediately excited and immediately sent people to secretly investigate all the news about King Lu.
Soon, the news about King Lu was placed in front of Lao Song.
King Lu is smart, studious, outgoing, and emotional.
In the news, there are many small things that happened to King Lu.
Of course, because of the urgent time and King Lu's identity, they did not dare to investigate in detail.
Therefore, these data are obviously imperfect.
But for Lao Song, these materials were enough for him to understand what King Lu used.
Soon, based on the characteristics of King Lu, Lao Song formulated a series of strategies.
First, Lao Song began to get close to King Lu.
Then, Lao Song said that it is everyone's wish to build the new Lu country and build the city.
Everyone wants to build the Xinlu Kingdom and the city.
Therefore, Lao Song decided to build a five-kilometer road for the New Lu Kingdom free of charge.
King Lu was very moved by Lao Song's righteous deeds.
He even said that such a businessman cannot be allowed to suffer losses and must pay him fees.
However, Lao Song refused to accept his resignation and even threatened death.
King Lu was so moved that he directly handed over the construction of the entire university town to Lao Song.
He also said that after this project is completed, any other projects will be handed over to Lao Song.
And soon, Lao Song stopped the manpower and started building roads and university towns at the same time.
Moreover, there are even more manpower invested in building roads than in building university towns.
But King Lu did not completely trust Lao Song.
Instead, at the beginning of the project, he personally led experts to inspect the highway project and the university project.
The opinion given by experts is that both roads and university towns are built perfectly.
There is absolutely no shortage of building materials. On the contrary, they far exceed their standards.
If they were built according to this standard, they would basically make no money.
This situation made King Lu even more moved.
Such businessmen are really Confucian businessmen and national businessmen!
King Lu waved his hand, and from now on, all projects contracted by Lao Song would be exempted from inspection.
Because other people's standards are much higher than the standards they require.
No testing is needed at all.
After getting this exemption qualification, Lao Song finally showed a fox-like smile on his face.
Done!
Lao Song's son, Xiao Song, also smiled like a fox.
"Dad, we can cut corners on the construction at the back and make back all the losses we incurred in building the road!"
The title dad was passed down from Li Min.
Now in China, fathers are generally called daddy.
When he heard his son's words, Lao Song couldn't help but slap Xiao Song, and then said indisputably: "Stupid!"
Xiao Song was very aggrieved after being scolded by his father.
"Dad, aren't we in business just to make money? If we keep doing it with this quality, we will be losing money and making money. What are we trying to do?"
Lao Song said intriguingly: "Son, as long as we can climb the big tree of King Lu, why should we worry about not being able to make money in the future? We must learn to take a long-term approach to catch big fish!"
Hearing his father's words, Xiao Song couldn't help but show a thoughtful look on his face.
"Dad, I understand. This time, we will lose money and make a profit. We just want to leave a good impression on King Lu."
Old Song patted Xiao Song on the shoulder and said happily: "Son, you have grown up! However, this time, we can still cut corners, but don't make it too obvious."
Xiao Song blinked in confusion and asked, "Dad, what should we do so that we are not noticed by others?"
Lao Song laughed and said: "Of course, the materials on the outside must be used enough, and no one can see anything inappropriate from the outside. But don't the steel bars used inside need to be eight?"
"We only use four, which saves a lot of money. In this way, our initial expenditure can basically be recovered. Anyway, we are an inspection-free unit, so we are not afraid of anyone finding out.
"
After listening to what Lao Song said, Xiao Song nodded repeatedly and said with admiration: "Dad, you are really amazing!"
Lao Song said proudly: "That's natural. After all, old ginger is still hotter!"
…
The focus of Xinlu's construction is of course Hope City, where Li Min is in charge.
Li Min has been here for three months, and the overall framework of Hope City has been built.
The overall construction is being completed step by step.
And the planning of the entire Xinlu Kingdom is also being carried out in an orderly manner.
It is said that it is difficult to finish the work but to start.
Once you get started, the subsequent work will be much easier to complete.
Li Min felt that there would not be too many problems in the follow-up, so he chose to return to China.
After returning to China, Li Min discovered that the filming of the TV series Journey to the West had been completed.
Currently on the air.
And the ratings of this TV series are really amazing!
It has reached a terrifying ratings of 86.
This kind of ratings can only be seen in the early stages of the TV station's launch.
In recent years, no TV series has done this.
And now, Journey to the West has done it.
In fact, Juedu is not just Journey to the West that is popular right now.
And, it also comes with various peripherals of Journey to the West.
For example, the golden cudgel of the same style as Sun Wukong.
Tang Monk's cassock, Sun Wukong's tight curse.
All these peripherals related to Journey to the West have been sold out.
Of course, the copyright of all this belongs to China Commercial Bank.
If other merchants dare to imitate, they will be sued by China Commercial Bank and will go bankrupt.
Initially, China Commercial Bank spent three million to purchase the copyright of Journey to the West.
The profit brought back by Journey to the West to China Film and Television is estimated to be a hundred times higher!
Such a popular phenomenon is really terrifying!
Even the chief director Shangguan Wan'er was not expecting it.
Although she expected Journey to the West to be popular, she never expected it to be so popular.
After Li Min returned, he also started watching the TV series Journey to the West.
The theme sentence of this TV series is still where to go.
Of course, there can be no such coincidence. Li Min secretly gave this theme song to Shangguan Wan'er.
As soon as I heard this song, I couldn't help but bring back Li Min's childhood memories of watching Journey to the West.
Looking at the plot again, I have to say that in the choice of actors and even the choice of costumes and props.
The Journey to the West photographed by Shangguan Wan'er is very consistent with the classic Journey to the West of later generations.
This is probably because the heroes have the same opinion.
When filming, the crew found the author Yan Yuzhi Qingchou.
However, Li Min declined.
Because neither the editorial department nor the crew knew that the author of Yanyu Zhi Qingchou was actually the Emperor Li Min.
Li Min didn't want anyone to know this secret either.
Otherwise, wouldn't the fact that the emperor is not doing his job be revealed?
Therefore, during the filming process, except for secretly inserting a theme song, Li Min did not give any opinions.
In fact, Li Min also thought about whether to let the classic of future generations reappear?
In fact, when I think about it later, the so-called classics are actually created by current events.
There has never been a Journey to the West in this world. If Shangguan Wan'er shoots it, it won't be bad. I believe it will also be a classic, right?
Soon, Li Min started watching Journey to the West.
In this video, the shooting angle is almost the same.
In terms of costumes, props and special effects, we need to be even more outstanding.
Of course, the shooting details are a bit worse than that of the classic Journey to the West.
You know, the most classic Journey to the West took six years to film.
The film shot by Shangguan Wan'er only lasted a mere year.
In some details, it is naturally inferior to the classics of later generations.
However, it's not far off.
Li Min was fascinated by what he saw.
This version of Journey to the West lasted for thirty episodes, five more than the later version.
I heard that the later classic Journey to the West was originally planned to be shot in thirty episodes.
However, due to lack of funds, the director had to reluctantly cut five episodes.
In this world, if a deputy minister like Shangguan Wan'er shoots a TV series, there will naturally be no problem of insufficient funds.
Therefore, all the plots were completely restored and thirty episodes were filmed.
Of course, the later classic Journey to the West.
Later, when I had sufficient funds, I filmed a sequel to Journey to the West, with a total of sixteen episodes scheduled.
At that time, funds were sufficient and computer special effects also appeared.
But when it was filmed, people couldn't get the same feeling as when they watched Journey to the West.
And now the Journey to the West filmed by Shangguan Wan'er is the complete version.
In the last life, when the sequel to Journey to the West came out, Li Min couldn't stand it after watching only a few episodes.
But this time I watched Shangguan Wan'er's version with gusto.
However, so far, the TV series has not been finished.
Naturally, he couldn't see the plot behind it.
But it doesn't matter, he is the emperor, and if he wants to see it, he can naturally see it.
When Shangguan Wan'er heard that the emperor asked for a follow-up series of Journey to the West, a smile flashed across Shangguan Wan'er's pretty face.
What Li Min, who was watching the series, didn't know was that this time, there was once again a craze outside looking for the author, Yan Yuzhi Qingchou.
