Chapter 26 The pig standing in the wind

Standing on the air vent, even pigs can fly.

Ye Hua is very thin, so a thin pig flies faster.

He took over the work of renovating the imperial road, allocated him 500 craftsmen from the Ministry of Works and handed him over to him for free, and he never even thought about asking for it back.

Who doesn’t know that Ye Changshi was righteous and Yuntian, and saved the son of the governor Guo Xianggong!

Even the arrogant and domineering old military leader like Wang Jun had to curry favor with Ye Hua and sent the maids and servants to him. What else can they have to be reserved!

They told Ye Hua that no matter how many people he wanted, he only had one sentence!

Finally, Ye Hua realized the benefits of power.

As long as he is willing, he will soon be able to rely on his deep background, gather cheap resources, develop a huge career, and then make money every day and make money quickly. Of course, this is the easiest way, but it is also the most dangerous. Once the backer falls, he will quickly return to his original form and will never be restored from now on!

Ye Hua still wants to make money by relying on his real skills, and let the situation change, I remain unmoved!

He asked the stonemasons and everyone told him that as long as he tried his best, the construction would be completed in half a month.

Ye Hua felt that there was no need to work so quickly, but he could not waste time and manpower. Ye Hua told Chen Shi to let him go to the military camp to promote, especially those generals who received rewards and needed to decorate their stores.

Who needs stone lions, stone drums, stone tables, stone piers, stone railings... In short, you can order everything related to stone to ensure that the goods are genuine and honest, and can repair the imperial road well, and what else can be difficult for them!

It’s true that the advertisement will be effective immediately after it is launched.

The first person to place the order was Han Tong. He had just become the Du Yuhou and was rewarded with the house and was in need of renovation. He ordered 500 yuan in one breath.

Zhao Kuangyin wanted more than Han Tong. In addition to the stone tools used for household use, Zhao Kuangyin also ordered many stone locks and stone pillars to make the effort. Every morning, Zhao Kuangyin practiced his own qigong. The stone locks of hundreds of kilograms in his hand were like playing. Chen Shi, and Ye Zhong, Ye Xiao, Ye Ren, Ye Yi, Ye Yong, and Ye Wu all ran away and learned martial arts with Zhao Kuangyin. They could not play with the stone lion stone locks, so they could only start from the most basic fists and feet, and practiced very hard.

Ye Hua was busy with the matter of Yudao every day, and he had no idea that the goods at home were bribed by Zhao Kuangyin and became Zhao Da's apprentice.

There are many generals like Han Tong and Zhao Kuangyin. In the past, they followed Guo Wei to fight in the south and north. Now that Guo has become a governor, they are all prosperous and wealthy. Who doesn’t want to build a home! Who doesn’t need to decorate a house? At this time, selling stone tools will not be able to make money!

"I asked half of the craftsmen to be responsible for the Imperial Road, and the other half to be responsible for building the stone tools ordered by various companies. In this way, I sold 30,000 guan in almost a month and made 8,000 guan! In fact, if the stone is sufficient, I can build more stone tools, and it is not difficult to sell 50,000 guan a month."

Ye Hua said, and he found that Chai Rong's eyes were getting hotter and hotter, and he was so scared that he hurriedly said: "I pay taxes according to the rules, worth ten per hundred and ten, and I should give the court a lot of money. You can go to Kaifeng Prefecture to check. I think the court should give me the title of an active taxpayer, rather than a calculation of my wallet!"

Looking at Ye Hua's vigilant and careful eyes, Chai Rong suddenly burst into laughter.

He sat beside Ye Hua and said, "I also traveled around the world in my early years and did business." Chai Rong was not lying. Their Chai family was a businessman. Later, because Guo Wei's official position became older, Chai Rong joined his adoptive father, so he knew very well about business operations.

"Ye Hua, the Ministry of Works estimates that it takes 5,000 craftsmen to repair the Imperial Road. Excluding those who transport stones, it also takes 1,000 people to repair the Imperial Road. But you only used more than 200 people and completed ease, and you actually had the energy to take on other tasks. It's incredible!"

"I didn't cut corners!" Ye Hua hurriedly defended.

Chai Rong smiled and said, "I know this. I'm just curious. Why are you so much better than others?"

Ye Hua said seriously: "This is a trade secret...but I can tell you."

Chai Rong said humbly: "I wish to hear high opinions."

Ye Hua called a stonemason over. The man's face turned black and red, his hands were rough, and his joints were thick and deformed. At first glance, he was the result of working outside all year round.

"Chai Jun, guess how old are he?"

Chai Rong looked at it, frowned and said, "Should you be thirsty for the age of 1950? Or bigger?"

Ye Hua shook his head, and he asked the stonemason to say it himself.

"Little Man 28!"

Chai Rong couldn't believe it. How could he be as old as himself? Why did he look older than his adoptive father? How much torture has this person been?

"Can you tell me about your experience?"

The stonemason nodded, raised his face, and tears flashed in his eyes. It was a memory that was unbearable to look back on... He was born in the sixth year of Hou Liang Zhenming, his father was a stonemason, and his grandfather was also a stonemason. Going up, maybe he was a stonemason!

His father first carved stone tools for the Tang Dynasty royal family in Chang'an, and later Huang Chao broke into Chang'an, and his father fell into Huang Chao's hands. Later, Zhu Wen defeated Huang Chao, and he became Zhu Wen's spoil. He participated in the construction of the Kaifeng Palace. This was the most peaceful time in his life, although it was only a few years.

The stonemason's father married a wife and gave birth to a stonemason. Then, Li Cunxu destroyed the Later Liang Dynasty and they became craftsmen of the Later Tang Dynasty. When the stonemason was ten years old, his father died of illness and he inherited his father's position.

From the Later Tang Dynasty, to the Later Jin Dynasty, and then to the Later Han Dynasty, he also made stone statues for the Khitan emperors!

A 28-year-old man has been working under the sun almost every day for 18 years and has never rested.

He once married another stonemason's daughter. They gave birth to three sons, all of whom died. The fourth child was a daughter. He was lucky enough to save it, but his wife died.

Finally, I raised my child until I was 33 years old, but was photographed with abducted... Losing my father, losing my son, losing my wife, losing my daughter, the most unfortunate thing in the world keeps falling on the poor stonemason.

His back became more and more curved, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper and deeper. He became like those stones, stubborn and numb. He just worked mechanically and had no hope for anything. Death was a relief for him. He could finally sleep peacefully. I hope he would be lucky in the next life...

Chai Rong felt sour and uncomfortable when he heard this. People's livelihood was difficult, and it was not just a stonemason! He could not think of a solution for a while, so he could only comfort him: "Come on your spirits, your life will be better in the future!"

After mentioning it, the stonemason suddenly smiled, and the depressedness on his face swept away, as if he had changed his other person!

"That's right, Ye Changshi set the rules. We can get 10% of the handicraft fee for each stone tool and teach an apprentice. Within 5 years, 10% of his income will be my. I, I have earned 50 kW this month!" The stonemason trembled excitedly, "Our family has not earned much this month in several lifetimes. I can marry a wife and pass on the family line, and our family can have a descendant again..."

This silent stone suddenly opened its mouth, chatting and crying bitterly on the ground, and the hot tears gathered into small puddles, as if it was about to tilt out all the bitterness that was stuffed in my heart!

Chai Rong was thinking, and he asked the stonemason to continue venting, quietly called Ye Hua aside, and pondered: "Do you want to say that as long as you give enough rewards, they will work hard?"

"To be precise, it is an appropriate incentive. At least they must feel that their efforts and gains are comparable. There is hope for the future. Only then will they work hard, burst out with several times more efficiency, create more wealth, and quickly achieve prosperity for the country and the people!"

Chai Rong took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and finally smiled.
Chapter completed!
