Chapter 50 I hope you will forgive me!
Looking at the bamboo building that took nearly twenty days to finally be completed, Hu Xuanzong and Liu Fuchun and others were very happy. For Liu Fuchun and others, the bamboo building proved their abilities through this bamboo building, which shows that they have not forgotten their skills.
Although bamboo houses are mostly idle, Hu Xuanzong still doesn't feel wasteful. Even in this bamboo house, he specially reserved a best room for himself. When he opened the window, he could see the scenery at the foot of the mountain outside the window.
While everyone was happy, Hu Xuanzong also smiled and said, "Master Fu, I told Mr. Chen before that if he made sure that the resort was built there, he would definitely ask you to help him build a bamboo house. In the future, you should be very busy!"
"It's better to be busy! I'm really idle every day, but I'm prone to getting sick. Why? Mr. Chen doesn't plan to build a resort here?"
"I don't know much about this! For such a big business, you must investigate more. If you have an investment of tens of millions, how can you be so casual?"
"That's right! I haven't done this job for many years, and now I've done it once, and I always feel that it's not satisfying!"
"Don't worry! You have such good skills and you will definitely not have to worry about having no work. When Mr. Chen makes sure, I will notify you as soon as possible. During this period, I will take a good rest at home for a few days. In order to hurry up, I have worked overtime a lot at night, right?"
"What's the point of working overtime? I'm idle at night, practice my skills! I've been unfamiliar with my hands after a long time, but fortunately I didn't embarrass myself this time!"
As the person in charge of the bamboo building this time, Hu Xuanzong offered Liu Fuchun a wage of 300 days, while the other disciples invited were 22 days. Several other carved bamboo craftsmen offered 28 days.
For these bamboo craftsmen who could no longer find work, they were all very satisfied with the wages given by Hu Xuanzong. Moreover, Hu Xuanzong also made two meals, and the workers working every day could receive a pack of fifteen yuan cigarettes, which was rare in the countryside.
According to what Hu Xuanzong told them, if they can take over the resort business, the wages they can get should be greater or less. However, the construction party must have strict requirements, and when building bamboo houses, they must also ensure quality and quantity.
Fortunately, these bamboo craftsmen are honest people. Hu Xuanzong has actually decided that when the resort matter is implemented, they will ask them to build a bamboo house in the valley. The work of the wooden house will be left to the work of Liu Dongsheng and the clerk he led.
After borrowing Liu Fuchun's home, Hu Xuanzong also held a completion banquet and invited these masters and village cadres to have a meal together. After the meal, Hu Xuanzong also settled the wages for the masters who worked.
Anyone who has worked for Taoist temples knows that Hu Xuanzong never owes wages. As long as he finishes his work, he will immediately pay the workers. Such a good customer is undoubtedly his favorite for these workers who have been working in the countryside for many years.
Seeing that in addition to wages, Hu Xuanzong also gave a red envelope, Liu Fuchun complained a little, "You can't get this red envelope! The wages you gave are already very kind, so what's the matter with the red envelope?"
"Master Fu, you should know that I originally reserved a construction period of 30 days for you. You have saved me a lot of money by ten days in advance! Don't think I don't understand. Don't you have to give the master a red envelope to the master on the beams of the house?"
"Then you can't get a thousand red envelopes, right?"
Seeing that Liu Fuchun was still very persistent, Hu Xuanzong could only say, "Master Fu, don't think I don't know. In order to carve those bamboo frames and fences, you and several masters have worked too much overtime in the night shift, right? You have worked so hard, can I pretend that I didn't see it?
You and a few masters are one thousand, and the other masters are eight hundred. Don’t think that it’s too much or too little. If you look at me, then you will accept this red envelope. If you have business in the future, I will ask you for it. If you don’t accept it, you will look down on me!"
As Hu Xuanzong said this, Liu Fuchun had to accept the money. When talking about the resort, Liu Zhongming, who had been wanting to ask recently, took this opportunity to ask again, and Hu Xuanzong finally gave some useful information.
He said directly: "Uncle Zhong, I have inquired about this matter with Mr. Chen. The specific investment plan should be finalized after National Day. Our village environment and location are good, and we have certain advantages. Whether the negotiation can be made depends on the meaning of the county and town!"
"The county and the town agree! Could it be that someone objected?"
When Liu Zhongming heard this, he felt a little confused, and Hu Xuanzong could only explain: "There are many counties and towns involved in investments of tens of millions. There are many jealous counties and towns! I haven't confirmed it yet, maybe he wants to get some more discounts!"
"That's right! Then, can I mention this to the above?"
"Yes! He is willing to reveal this news to me, and he should also want to see our sincerity. After investing tens of millions of dollars, he hopes to get more discount conditions. It is actually normal. I don't understand how to do business!"
In fact, the design plan for this pastoral resort has been finalized. The project will be started only after Chen Xinyuan signed the investment agreement with the county. The expected construction period will be about half a year.
If you really want to calculate it, the investment amount of this resort is actually not much. Compared with other resorts, it costs a lot to build pastoral villas alone. The resorts at Wulongling are mainly wooden houses and bamboo houses.
What really costs money may be the transformation of the valley fields and the construction of the access roads inside the resort. The main construction will be hired by Chen Xinyuan to hire a professional construction team to be responsible for, and the supporting facilities will be subcontracted.
Hu Xuanzong naturally would not leave some simple work to others for building bamboo houses and wooden houses. At that time, the construction team will hire villagers to help. Even if they go to the construction site to do odd jobs, it should not be a problem to earn one or two hundred yuan a day.
But Hu Xuanzong would not tell Liu Zhongming about these things, and it is necessary to hide his weakness properly. But what Hu Xuanzong didn't expect was that three days later, a group of uninvited guests came to the Taoist temple, and the leader was the chief magistrate of Ziyu County.
Upon hearing the news, Hu Xuanzong also said helplessly: "Uncle Zhong, did you do this?"
"I have this ability! Xuanzong, Uncle, I know you don't like dealing with them, but they pointed out that they want to meet you, so you can't avoid it, right? Don't worry, there won't be too many people at that time!"
Knowing that this matter was a foregone conclusion, and Hulu Temple was also within the jurisdiction of others, Hu Xuanzong would definitely not be able to avoid it. But what Liu Zhongming and others did not expect was that when he led the magistrate into the Taoist temple, he found that Hu Xuanzong had changed.
This is not to say that Hu Xuanzong didn't recognize him, but at this moment, Hu Xuanzong put on a Taoist robe. Usually, he only saw Hu Xuanzong wearing casual clothes and suddenly changed into a well-fitting Taoist robe, which was indeed quite surprising.
On the contrary, the chief magistrate, when he saw Hu Xuanzong dressed in a regular Taoist costume, was extremely surprised, but he still said politely: "Master Hu, I'll take the liberty to disturb you, I hope you can forgive me!"
"The layman's words are so heavy! I'm so despised that I have founded, there are really few county officials here in person! Chief Consul, please!"
Looking at Hu Xuanzong, who was performing the Taoist rituals and shaking the whisk to lead everyone into the sight, and Su Lidong, who accompanied the chief magistrate to inspect, suddenly felt that Hu Xuanzong was a little unfamiliar at this moment. Is the young Taoist priest in front of him really the Hu Xuanzong he knew?
Or rather, he never treated Hu Xuanzong as a Taoist priest from beginning to end. Until now, Su Lidong and the village cadres who accompanied him up the mountain suddenly realized that Hu Xuanzong was a Taoist priest, and the new master of this gourd temple!
