Chapter 17 The bloody case caused by steamed bread(1/2)

The wealth is touching, and Li Bin is not worried that no one will take over his project!

Sure enough, before six o'clock in the morning, Li Bin got up and was about to go to the yard to move his body, and do a few squats. Zhang Genshuo ran to him: "Young Master, all the craftsmen came yesterday, waiting outside the door!"

"So early? Call someone in!"

When everyone came in, Li Bin looked at it, and he said, "Wow, all of his eyes were red, and he didn't know what he did last night!"

"It seems that everyone didn't sleep well last night! The eyes were all red!"

The group of people didn't dare to say that they were thinking about money. Old Sun saw that everyone was embarrassed and hurriedly stepped out: "They were all countrymen, and they had never taken over the business like the young master, and they were overwhelmed!"

"Then have you figured it out?"

"Think it through and think it through. Young Master gives me a chance, so I have to try it out before I can be content!"

"It's not possible to try it. I'll get a prize if I do my job well, and I'll get a deduction for money if I do it badly. It's useless for you to just roll around. Let's make it clear first!"

"It must be certain, please don't worry, young master, you are all veterans in the work!"

Li Bin took out the contract he had written earlier and read it to these craftsmen. These craftsmen were very busy! The money was really given quickly, but the quality and time requirements were really strict. It was fined for timeouts. More than ten points were measured for quality inspection. If one point had a width and length, it would have to be reworked if it did not meet the standards!

Jiangtoumen secretly made up his mind that he could not make any mistakes, otherwise he would earn a lot of money and go home, but he would lose his capital. How could he be a human being?

But I felt half of it. Such a good thing would be suspicious if I didn’t ask for it. The stricter the demands, the more I mean Mr. Li is sincere!

After reading the contract, Li Bin saw that they had no objection, so he asked the 12 people who were willing to contract out to sign and seal it. If he couldn't write, he would press a handprint.

After the procedures were completed, the group saw Zhang Geunshuo pushing a small car out of the backyard and looking at Li Bin one by one.

Li Bin was filled with goosebumps by their eager eyes. He hurriedly said, "The person who just wrote a deposit just now is 80 taels per person according to the contract, and now he will pay. He took the money and organized people to buy grain and recruit workers. I don't care when the construction starts. The first one is rewarded with 50 taels, and the last one is deducted with 5 taels. If the construction period exceeds the construction period, the contract will be fined!"

"Also, my housekeeper Lao Zhang will go to the construction site to point out the area to delineate the area for everyone. Remember to arrive for 12 contractors!"

The 12 newly released contractors of the Ming Dynasty took the silver from Zhang Geshuo in a happy mood and hurriedly thanked Li Bin!

Li Bin waved his hand and turned to Lao Sun: "Master Sun, why didn't you make a piece of it?"

"Young Master, the remaining few of us are brick and carpenters, so we don't compete with them for food. We just want to ask how to build the wharf!"

"Oh, do you have a rough plan? What's the budget?"

"We thought about one of the plans last night, but we just didn't know if the young master was satisfied!"

"Speak!"

Li Bin was not seen, so he pulled Lao Sun and squatted down, asking him to draw patterns on the ground!

Leaving this kind of small project to the Ming Dynasty people is much more labor-saving than Li Bin’s own search for books and information. After all, many of the technology are mature. This kind of small wharf on a small river can be used to stop a 100-ton boat. No matter how big it is, you have to wait to build a large wharf near the sea in the future.

After listening to Lao Sun's explanation, Li Bin felt that it was pretty good. He could indeed meet his requirements and there was room for expansion in the future. He immediately made a decision: "Contract labor and materials, Lao Sun, please give me a budget!"

Lao Sun immediately reported the price they agreed on yesterday: "1,200 taels, young master doesn't have to worry about anything. We will hand over the dock to you in two months! But even if you pay, you have to dig a drainage ditch!"

Li Bin thought about the plan given by Lao Sun. Sure enough, there was no fool in making money. Lao Sun's quote was made according to the ratio of their quotation for digging a drain ditch!

He looked at Lao Sun with a smile, and the latter's old face turned red. It's no wonder Lao Sun. After all, they are skilled people. It is impossible for them to dig trenches, and it is even more impossible to build a dock and earn less than others. They can only quote a high price in their minds!

"1200 is fine, sign now to get the money!"

When Lao Sun heard Li Bin's decision, he breathed a sigh of relief. His old face turned into a chrysanthemum! Although the dock has a high technical content, the project volume is much smaller than the ditch that is dug in one mile. If this business is done well, he will make 300 taels. Can he be unhappy if he turns over and becomes the owner?

After 120 taels of silver was sent away, Lao Sun was finally able to sit down and have a meal.

"Lao Zhang, you find a carpenter shop to add a shed to the cart today. During this period, you are afraid that you will go to the field to watch the guys who cook and sleep by yourself, bring some rice. Lao Sun and his team have started construction and have so many people want to buy rice and vegetables. You can ask them to help you bring some vegetables and remember to give them money."

"Well, I'll be optimistic about them!"

"No need to watch it. If you work faster and get more, they will worry about it themselves. Just help you divide the positions and don't let them do it randomly!"

After dinner, Zhang Genshuo went to do business and handed Tuantuan to Zhang Wangshi. Li Bin started to take his chin: Today, the contract will be less than 2,000 taels left, and the construction will be 1,080 taels in a few days, so I have to sell the mirror!

Go to the street to see if there are any larger shops in Shanghai that have the ability to sell goods. After all, there are more than a thousand sides. When will you sell by yourself?

Before I could even walk to the middle of the street, I saw a noise in front of me!

Li Bin went over and saw that it turned out that several people who looked like gangsters were beating a young man. The young man had already fallen to the ground, and he was still holding two steamed buns tightly in his arms!

Several gangsters kicked hard while cursing: "Dog guy, dare to grab steamed buns in our Shanghai County, don't want to live?"

Li Bin was almost moved by the sense of justice of several gangsters and laughed out loud. He squeezed through the crowd and stepped forward and stopped him in the middle: "Okay, okay, just a few steamed buns. Are you still going to beat the person to death? I'll just pay him!"

"Who are you?"

"Li Bin! Everyone has beaten me too. There is no need to do anything so ruthless. Who is the owner of the steamed bun shop? I will pay for him!"

"Are you the juren from Shandong?"

"Oh, am I so famous now?"

"It's rare that someone dares to buy wasteland in Pudong. You are the first to invest in such a big investment!"

Li Bin pretended not to hear the ridicule in this guy's words, and went over to help the beaten young man up: "How is it, can you still leave? Do you want to see the doctor?"

"Ahem, it's okay, don't look at the doctor!"

But he spoke without the accent of Jiangnan, but he looked like a northerner. He was 175 meters tall. Among the Ming Dynasty people, he looked older than Li Bin. He was as thin as something, and Li Bin was uncomfortable when he helped him.

"Forget it, you can't eat enough for two steamed buns. I'll buy some for you to take them back to eat!"

The young man opened his mouth but said nothing. Li Bin turned to the steamed bun shop on the street: "Is it the one I snatched from you?"

The owner of the steamed bun shop nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, two steamed buns are not a big deal, they are just..."

Li Bin didn't understand anything. This young man was not lucky, but was met by these gangsters on the street. These people were so worried about nothing, let alone such things. They didn't necessarily expect people from poor to stealing steamed buns.

I want to beat someone up if I'm itchy!

"It's okay, you can wrap it with ten more steamed buns for me, and calculate the money together with the two he robs!"

After paying the money, he stuffed the steamed buns into the young man's arms: "Take them back and eat them. You can stutter at will by catching fish and shrimps in so many wild fields outside the city. Don't grab steamed buns in the future!"

Li Bin didn't take this kind of thing seriously. No matter where he was, he didn't think it was a big deal to grab a steamed bun or bread. Of course, it was different for you to eat a tycoon meal.

Unexpectedly, the young man knelt in front of him: "Please be kind and save my wife!"

What the hell, are you still dependent on me?

"Stop! I don't want to lose my life yet, stop kowtow! Why did your wife want me to save me?"

Li Bin went south and saw so many tragic situations. Of course, he would not have seen one save one, and he could not save it! Just now, I just saw that this young man was beaten up because of two steamed buns. It was enough to beat them so many times, so I took a look. In the minds of modern people, there is still a difference between grabbing steamed buns and grabbing money. The former is just to survive!

The young man knelt on the ground and explained the reason in detail. It turned out that this brother was actually a Liao native. His family was a small landlord and he read a little while when he was a child. After the chaos in Liaodong, the villagers were unwilling to be slaves to the Tartars, and their parents also took him, who was over teenagers, across the sea and sneaked to Pi Island to seek survival.

Originally, the family had some savings, and the family could still eat enough on Pidao. Unexpectedly, Yuan Chonghuan came to the stage to kill Mao Wenlong. His father had read books for a few days and knew that it was going to be a mess, so he took his whole family to Dengzhou. Two years later, he was seventeen years old, and his family found a daughter from a neighboring village that he fled with. The good days had not yet begun, Kong Youde rebelled in Dengzhou again!

This sad child!

Kong Youde turned against his parents and father-in-law, his whole family died in the chaos, and all his belongings were lost. He fled with his wife and several fellow villagers!

Now he didn't dare to stay in the north. A group of people were working odd jobs to make money while walking south. They had been in Shanghai County for three years, and a group of people could make a living together.

Usually, there is a minor illness and disaster. Everyone can help each other and survive. After all, it comes from the same place and you can't survive without unity!

Unexpectedly, his wife fell ill all of a sudden during the Chinese New Year this year. The sudden serious illness was something that people like them who had just had enough water to withstand. In order to take care of his wife, he lost the accounting work and spent all the people taking out. His family has been out of food for a few days. These people are all from Liaonan and know the tricks of fishing and catching shrimp in Jiangnan. Seeing that his wife was still hungry while sick, he also made up his mind and thought that he would let his wife eat something no matter what, so that the above came out.

When he was beaten, he had given up and wanted to protect the steamed buns and take them back to let his wife eat and find a rope to go to the underworld together. Who would have thought that Li Shanren would fall from the sky? Who would have lived to die? What if there is hope!

"You can keep accounts?"

"The villain made a living by keeping accounts for others in the past few years!"

"Okay, I just happen to be missing a bookkeeping person. I'll lend you the money first, and you can go back and keep the bookkeeping for me!"

"Thank you, young master!"

Li Bin is the one who is in charge, and he is the one who is trying to get one.

"Let's go and find a doctor to see your wife!"

The prosperous place of Shanghai County is located near the north of the county town, so there is definitely no shortage of the clinic here. The young man found the clinic well and asked the doctor to walk to the south of the city together!

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Ah? The villain offended me, but he didn't even introduce himself to the young master! My name is Guo Shaoan! Just call me Shaoan!"

"Good name!"

"My father has also read books, and he taught me how to read and recognize words!"

As they walked to the south of the city, Guo Shaoan and the others built several reed sheds in the corner. When they entered, they had to bend over, and it was dark inside.

Seeing Guo Shaoan come back, several men gathered around: "What's wrong with you, Shaoan? Why are you covered in mud? Are you still hurt on your face?"

"It's okay, I just ran so hard that I fell down. Fortunately, I fell down and met Mr. Li. He was willing to help Yunlan see a doctor!"

While explaining to a few men, he looked at Li Bin, probably asking Li Bin not to expose the fact that he was beaten to steal the steamed buns!

Li Bin was waiting outside. After a while, the doctor came out: "There is no serious illness, it's just a cold. However, it takes a long time to delay and it takes time to recover. It's already very heavy now. I'm afraid I have to use some expensive medicinal materials!"

The doctor is also a common man. When you look at the shed, you will know that you are not a confident person, so you put it in front!

"It's okay, doctor, you can drive whatever you want!"

The doctor prescribed the prescription, Li Bin paid the medical fee to send the doctor away, turned around and said to Guo Shaoan: "The patient cannot live here, how can the environment be restored! Move to my place first, and I will arrange a room for you!"
