Chapter 499(2/2)
He thought, the war is in chaos, Pingyang County is poor, who would go to do business thousands of miles away?
Even if I decided to go, it wouldn't be that fast.
Unexpectedly, all colleagues reacted faster than him.
He is the slowest.
Mr. Ji held the teacup without saying a word.
The little official came forward, "If Mr. Qian is unhappy to cooperate with Pingyang County, then please come back! If you are willing, there is still a chance here, but I don't know if you are willing to take it."
"What opportunity?" Qian Wen asked hurriedly.
He doesn't want to come in vain.
The minor official told him, "Our county magistrate has decided to build a school, here it is."
As he said that, he pointed to a remote corner above the planning map.
"The school covers a large area and is also very large in scale. However, with the financial resources of your Qian family, there will be no problem."
Qian Wen's eyes rolled and asked boldly: "If I heard it right, would you ask me to pay for the school?"
Mr. Ji sighed, "Pingyang County is in ruins, and it's poor and lacks money! If your Qian family is willing to take over the construction of the school, I will be grateful here. Of course, you are also relieved, and you won't let you spend money on building the school. Do you Qian family do papermaking?"
Qian Wen shook his head repeatedly, "I dare not make paper."
The papermaking industry is firmly held in the hands of aristocratic families, and no one dares to touch it.
It can be said that everything involved in the inheritance of knowledge and culture is in the hands of aristocratic families and others dare not move them.
If you dare to move, you will die.
Mr. Ji asked him with a smile, "Do you want to get involved in paper printing?"
Qian Wen's breathing tightened, and his chubby cheeks showed fine and dense cold sweat.
"Grab people, grass people..."
His speech was inconsistent and he didn't know how to answer.
Mr. Ji is understanding, "I don't make things difficult for you. You can think about it when you go back and think about it. Come to the yamen in seven days and give me a reply. Whether it succeeds or not, I don't make things difficult for you. You can leave with confidence."
Qian Wen took root under his feet. He was afraid that he would have a bad impression of leaving and would not have a chance in the future.
However, the little official stared at him, "My adults are busy with everything, and there are several big merchants like you waiting to meet. How can you delay half a day just because of you? Go quickly, leave quickly, come again in the morning of seven days."
Qian Wen asked carefully, "Seven days later, is that right?"
"If you talk nonsense, you will be disqualified from meeting in seven days."
"No, no, Caomin dares not waste his time. Caomin will say goodbye now!"
Qian Wen's heart was up and down and he withdrew from the flower hall.
When I went out, I saw several big merchants who were old or familiar.
When he walked out of the yamen, he realized that he was sucked out of water, and his underwear was all wet with sweat.
This mood is so exciting, heavy, entangled, conflicted...
I was worried about gains and losses.
He looked back at the yamen, hey...
I couldn't help but sigh.
The yamen here is easy to enter, but things are not easy to handle!
He said, the princess's mansion is so rich and powerful, so many projects can be started at the same time.
It turned out that it was to use other people's money to build a project.
Tsk tsk tsk...
This ability to make money by making money is amazing.
If nothing unexpected happens, it must be the idea that Mrs. Yan came up with.
He asked him to pay for the construction of a school in Pingyang County, which covers a large area, so it would cost a lot of money.
It seems that the yamen sent people to supervise the worker.
These bosses who contracted projects would not find any opportunity if they wanted to cut corners.
This is a loss-making deal.
What is he trying to do?
Oh, heartache.
When he thought of the paper printing business, he waved to him in front of him. He watched the opportunity slip away. How could his heart not be hurt?
If you want to make paper and print the business, you have to pay for Mrs. Yan to build a school.
Otherwise, there is nothing to talk about.
However, he only wanted to make paper and print, but he didn't want to pay for school.
He sighed and felt quite uncomfortable.
I couldn't help but sigh, "The businessmen in the world are not as rude as Mrs. Yan!"
Mrs. Yan is really bad!
They caught them, the rich, and they quarrelled.
People are accusing the powerless and powerful people of the people, but Mrs. Yan is better, but she does the opposite.
Whoever has money will be robbed by someone.
No business done like this!
No, he has to go and inquire.
How much does the merchants who have already contracted the project pay for it and how to share the profit afterwards?
...
Qian Wen was very busy this day, busy looking for acquaintances to inquire about the situation.
Until dark, I pulled someone to drink and chat.
We talked until the third update and returned to the inn drunkenly.
Master Wu and his son had already rested, and he didn't dare to disturb him. He could only wash up and go to bed in a hurry.
I waited until the next morning and was woken up by the manager.
"Master, Master Wu is going to go out and take a look. Master said last night that he would like to ask Master Wu for advice today. If Master Wu doesn't get up again, it would be too late."
When Qian Wen heard this, his sleepiness disappeared immediately and he sat up from the bed.
"Hurry, hurry up, wait for me to wash and change clothes, and you can't let Master Wu wait. Smell it, do you smell wine on me?"
"The wine smell is very strong. But don't worry, the young man has ordered the kitchen to prepare soup for the wine smell and changed the sachet, which will definitely cover up the smell of alcohol."
"Okay, okay, I'm sure I'm at ease with you by my side."
He hurriedly packed up and went out to meet Master Wu and his son with a pretty energetic chubby face.
"I'm late, please forgive me. I don't know where Jang Ye wants to stroll around. If I don't dislike me, I will follow the Taoist priest to have a long experience."
"Don't you delay Mr. Qian's business?"
"No delay, no delay!"
"Then let's have a walk!"
"Okay! It's up to the Taoist priest to make the decision today."
Their group left the city, took a carriage, and headed to the embankment.
The embankment is dozens of miles away from the city, and there are many people along the way.
Those who transport stones, earthworks, and sandbags.
There were also a group of new coolies who were taken to the dam.
"A big project!"
Stop on the hillside, the entire embankment comes into view.
It's definitely a big project.
Chapter completed!
