Chapter 353 Tricky Job
Thanks to Xifeng Qingyang for casting monthly votes.
Tao Ran's calligraphy is famous in Beijing. The gentry wanted to ask him to write, and he had to give him a generous gift, and he had to say countless good things, and he had to look at his mood. Now he took the initiative to ask for a stroke, and Cheng Mo naturally agreed.
Huo Guang didn't care, Liu Xun didn't dare to care, and the temporary command post had not been named yet. Tao Ran picked up the pen several times, put it down and said, "Wai Wei might as well choose a better name again?"
It's not suitable for heating equipment or something.
Cheng Mo wanted to write the four words "Heating Company" on the plaque, but considering the horror caused by hanging these four words, he had to give up and said, "Just write about the heating center."
Tao Ran said: "It's too straightforward and has no artistic conception."
Shouldn’t you give a good name like Nuanxiang Pavilion?
"It's okay, just be able to recognize that this is the one responsible for heating in the capital." Cheng Mo said: "After Taichang Cheng finished writing, let's talk about the main business."
Didn’t Tao Ran come for the most important thing? Hearing Cheng Mo said this, he quickly splashed ink, and took three big words in a swipe and showed them to Cheng Mo: “Wei Wei, is this possible?”
The three big characters with ink on the brocade are magnificent and grand, and they really live up to their reputation.
Cheng Mo praised: "Well written."
"Hehe," Tao Ran said quite complacently, "I can only show this, and I have nothing to do with anything else."
If it weren't for this good handwriting back then, he wouldn't have received any recommendations, so people still have to have a skill to accompany them.
Cheng Mo talked about the important matter: "Your Majesty issued an edict to send a large number of gentry and gentry in the capital to voluntarily donate money to install heating equipment for poor people below 200 stones. Lord Wu is busy with official business and cannot be separated, so he can only send someone to help. I want to ask you to take charge of this matter. Would you like to?"
The emperor issued an edict to build a heating system throughout the city, but the treasury did not allocate a penny. The money was all for the gentry to help. If no one donated money, heating for the poor people would become a joke.
Tao Ran immediately understood the importance of this matter and said solemnly: "Wei Wei valued me so much, I thanked you here."
Being able to hand over such an important thing to him shows that Cheng Mo's trust in him will sooner or later reuse him. Now, he finally felt relieved and would follow Cheng Mo wholeheartedly in the future.
Cheng Mo said: "Don't thank you first. The edict did not allow the donated gentry. There is no benefit. These people may not be willing to pay for it. Tell them that I will choose a place to build a pavilion, erect a white wall around the pavilion, and those who donate more than 200 taels of silver can leave their names on this wall."
Some people ask for fame and others seek profit, and they have to give money, so they have to give some sweetness. However, if you promise to give a first-class title to a promise of how much money you can get, that is not possible. There is no such item in Liu Xun's edict. He will make his own decisions, which will inevitably be very troublesome, so you can only give a false reputation.
Tao Ran was still excited, but he didn't expect how difficult it would be to get the gentry to pay for it. He was stunned when Cheng Mo said this and said, "Where is an edict? Do they dare not obey the order?"
Cheng Mo smiled and said, "They dare not rebel against the order, but they do not obey the order. They can drag it down."
There are many types of donations in previous life, and there are many people who are engaged in various activities, and many people have made promises for fame and fortune. In short, this matter is very difficult, otherwise Cheng Mo would not have let Tao Ran do it.
Tao Ran is a man with ability and is quite calm in his work. Like Huang Ba, he was recommended from the local area, but unlike Huang Ba, he is down-to-earth in his work.
Cheng Mo pointed out a little, and Tao Ran immediately understood, saying, "Wei Wei has the order, I should go to the fire and die without hesitation."
Cheng Mo smiled and said, "It's not as pessimistic as you think. You should do a good job of publicity first. When everyone knows this, Yi'anju and Fuguichun, under my name, will be the first to donate money to set an example for you."
"Thank Weiwei." Tao Ran bowed and said, "Can Weiwei ask Weiwei to assign one or two capable people to me?"
If only I could get one or two good shopkeepers from Yi'anju and help deal with the difficult gentry.
Cheng Mo said: "I will tell the shopkeeper and I will send you two people."
Tao Ran was moved and left with great worries, and Cheng Mo sent someone to invite Manager Hua.
Manager Hua returned to Beijing to rest for half a month, and then began to inspect the staff. Cheng Mo wanted to carry out the shopkeeper's plan to let him train a group of shopkeepers. He felt that the character was the best, so he kept carefully inspecting the store. After a few months, several of the shopkeepers came into his eyes. He thought these people were good-looking. Just as he was about to tell Cheng Mo and listed these people as key training targets, Cheng Mo sent someone to call him. He thought Cheng Mo was going to ask about the training class, so he hurriedly came over.
"Mr. Marquis, I think these people are good materials." After entering the door, the shopkeeper Hua handed over the bamboo slips with the list of several people.
Cheng Mo took it and said, "Okay, you can choose a day to start the shift, and choose two safe people to help Tao Taichangcheng donate money in Beijing."
What the hell is assisting in donating? Manager Hua said a lot and said for a long time: "What does the Marquis mean?"
Cheng Mo briefly explained the story and said, "Tao Taichangcheng is an official, so he can decorate his store and deal with gentry. He also needs a good person. He asked me to lend someone, and I promised him. You can choose two people who are trustworthy, clever and good at speaking, and help him do things and run errands. If the job is done well, they will be included in the training plan."
The man is a dignified Taichang Cheng, in your eyes, he has become a decorative person! Manager Hua looked at the sky speechlessly and said, "Okay, just pick two people on this list. Look, Sun Hua, how about Wan Mu?"
Sun Hua and Wan Mu's name are on the list, which shows that Manager Hua is very satisfied with the character of these two people.
Cheng Mo said: "Okay, you will bring people tomorrow."
Tomorrow, Tao Ran started working in the heating center. Because of Liu Xun's edict, all the civil and military officials in the court, Cheng Mo only needed to say hello. Tao Ran had his official position as Taichang Cheng, who was donated and received his original salary.
"When will the training class be opened?" said Manager Hua: "Will you wait until the donation is over before it is opened?"
Sun Hua and Wan Mu are the key training targets in his plan. Without these two people, they have much less expectations for the training class. Manager Hua really doesn't want to leave these two proud disciples behind.
"Okay, you can do it." Cheng Mo said indifferently, "It's okay to postpone it."
But the plan to open Yi'anju branch nationwide was one day slower. Manager Hua left depressedly.
When Fu Yi learned that Tao Ran had taken the mission, he didn't bother to blame Ji'an Hou and quickly prepared generous gifts to find Cheng Mo.
Cheng Mo had no time to see him.
Fu Yi suspected that Marquis Ji'an was criticizing him in front of Cheng Mo, so that Cheng Mo didn't like him. He just thought, what should I do? He has decided to follow Cheng Mo. If he is given up, wouldn't he be laughed at?
He was unwilling to leave, and the door didn't drive him away, so he let him stand on the steps. He only stood for a cup of tea, and then saw three people asking to see Cheng Mo, and each of them followed the servant who was holding a gift box.
"How can this work?" He was anxious. If he didn't think of a solution, he really couldn't even drink a sip of soup... Friends reading books, you can search for "" and find this site as soon as possible.
