This was the first time Xu Zhiyuan saw Du He getting angry, and he said hurriedly: "Yixian Bo, please calm down. This is the information I sent people to register in detail, and it will definitely not be wrong. Besides, the victims of the disaster in Chang'an City are now even more..."
It totals up to 30,000, and it is inevitable that some of the wrong registrations will be made occasionally..."
Du He tapped the table with his fingers and said: "Mr. Xu, you still don't understand what I mean. What I'm saying is that you need to refine so much information before giving it to me, rather than stuffing it all into me.
Do you want me to summarize it myself? I am now the commander of the work-for-relief program, not your master."
When Xu Zhiyuan heard that someone would suffer when Du He got angry, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and asked cautiously: "I don't know how to sum it up. I'm a stupid official. Please give me a clear explanation from the county magistrate."
Du He took out the banknotes, started writing in a hurry, and finally picked up a piece of paper and handed it to Xu Zhiyuan.
Du He said: "I will give you one day to count these books again, how many men, how many women, how many adults, how many children, how many carpenters, how many stonemasons, how many are in normal health, how many are disabled or infirm
How much are each...do you understand?"
"Oh...I see, I understand, I understand, I will send someone to do the statistics again." Xu Zhiyuan patted his head and suddenly realized.
As he said this, the guy hurriedly picked up the thick book on the table and ran to do the statistics again.
After Xu Zhiyuan left, Du He leaned on his chair and began to think.
Now that all the information on the victims has been collected, it’s time to do big things, that is, when his construction company can show off its talents. Unfortunately, the current construction company only has his polished commander, let alone others.
There isn't even a gatekeeper.
"Talent, talent, no matter what era, the most lacking thing is talent..." Du He sat on the revolving wooden chair and sighed.
Of course, the construction company can allocate a large number of manpower to Li Er, but Du He does not intend to use people from the imperial court unless it is absolutely necessary. He plans to take this opportunity to set up the construction company, and after March and May, work-for-relief will be completed.
, a large number of craftsmen can stay and become a big help to Du He.
There is no problem in hiring disaster victims. The key is that Du He now needs someone who can stand up to the situation to manage the construction company for him. He has asked Zhang Jian to look for such a talent for several days, but there is no news.
When I was thinking about it, I heard footsteps outside the door.
Immediately, Zhang Jian was seen hurriedly walking in.
"Master, there is news about the thing you asked me to do!" Zhang Jian said happily.
Du He stood up in a hurry: "Is there a suitable candidate? Where is he?"
Zhang Jian said: "Master, there is a suitable candidate, but I don't know where he is yet."
"What's the meaning?"
Zhang Jian said hurriedly: "In the past few days, I have sent people all over Chang'an City to look for the talents you mentioned, but unfortunately I found nothing. There are several famous craftsmen in Chang'an City, but unfortunately they are all craftsmen of the imperial court. The rest are all
We don’t dare to use someone like him who is involved with the Changsun family. I happened to go back to the furniture factory today and met Zhengdao. He told me that he had a candidate. His name was Lu Yuan, and he was Zhengdao’s cousin and his father.
He was a famous craftsman in the palace of the Sui Dynasty, and it is said that he even built the Grand Canal. After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, Lu Yuan became anonymous and no one knew about him anymore."
"I didn't expect Zhengdao to have a cousin. Well, without further ado, go and call Xu Zhengdao. I have something to ask him." Du He said decisively.
Within an hour, Xu Zhengdao hurried to the relief-for-work headquarters.
When he learned that Du He was looking for his cousin Lu Yuan, Xu Zhengdao chuckled and said, "Are you really going to invite my cousin to come out?"
Du He nodded: "Why not?"
Xu Zhengdao found a chair and sat down: "You don't know something. When I came from the south, I came to join him. After arriving in Chang'an City, I found out that this guy was addicted to gambling and had millions of dollars on his back.
He originally lost his life to others because of his gambling debts. However, because he owed so much money, no one dared to touch him. I met him a few times, and we didn't even talk about it. I simply broke it off. No.
If we interact with you again, this person is a gambling gentleman. There is nothing he dares not gamble on. If you go to him, you will be wasting your efforts. He is not interested in anything other than gambling."
This was the first time Du He heard Xu Zhengdao talk about these past events and asked: "Is he very familiar with construction as you said?"
"Yes, although my cousin is a bastard and a heinous gambler, he has been with my uncle since he was a child. My uncle was a famous craftsman in the Sui Dynasty. He also participated in the construction of the Grand Canal. All his skills have been passed on to him.
Kill this bastard." Xu Zhengdao said, his teeth started to itch with anger.
Du He smiled and said: "It's just a gambler. Go and meet him first. If it can be used, it will be in your pocket. If it cannot be used, let him be."
Zhang Jian and others heard this and hurriedly arranged carriages and horses, with Xu Zhengdao leading the way.
In a short time, the group arrived at Xingyi Village, the largest gambling house in Chang'an City.
Du He and others entered the gambling house in a low-key manner. After a little inquiry, they learned that Lu Yuan was in Room No. 1, Tianzi, on the top floor.
Several people immediately walked up to the fourth floor.
Xu Zhengdao stepped forward and kicked the door open.
I saw a mahjong machine produced by a furniture factory in the middle of the room. Four people were sitting around the mahjong machine, and there were several guards around them.
When everyone heard the movement, they all turned around.
When several guards saw Xu Zhengdao's unkind expression, they immediately walked past Ali eagerly.
Xu Zhengdao pulled out a three-edged military thorn from behind, held it in his backhand, and said coldly: "Grandpa is doing something, if you don't want to die, get out of here. Today, I'm here to settle accounts with Lu Yuan, and it has nothing to do with other people.
"
Sitting opposite the door to your mahjong table is a young man wearing a blue gown. He is Xu Zhengdao's cousin Lu Yuan.
When the others heard this, they thought that most of the time they came to Lu Yuan to ask for money, and he was a ruthless person. They looked at each other, got up, and left quickly.
Lu Yuan slowly stood up, patted his clothes, and said: "Oh, Xiaoman, look at you, I thought you had left Chang'an after breaking off diplomatic relations with me. You came just in time. These days,
I'm so unlucky today. I lost two hundred thousand dollars today. Cousin, I see that you look rosy and well-dressed. You must have made a fortune. Lend me one million first. After I get my money back, I'll give you one.
How about one million and two hundred thousand dollars?"
As he said this, the guy walked towards Xu Zhengdao with a friendly smile and stretched out his hand to grab Xu Zhengdao's shoulders.
Xu Zhengdao grabbed the three-sided military thorn and jumped away.
Du He suddenly walked in from the door, blocked Lu Yuan with his open fan, raised his head and said with a smile: "Hello, cousin!"
