Chapter 1151 I just want to confirm

Feng Jiuxiao felt inexplicably in awe of that Li Taishou!

"If there are eight merchants bidding, eight villages will benefit, and if ten merchants bid, ten villages will benefit! The kung fu of borrowing flowers and presenting Buddha has reached the pinnacle of perfection! Admiration, admiration! It was originally a headache It turned out to be a good thing for him to make such a troublesome thing in the end. Master, master of masters! Finally, when the results of the evaluation are passed on to the common people, the two sides of the tofu are cut with a knife. It's too bad!" Feng Jiuxiao was full of emotions, this Li Taishou is simply a god!
Pang Shiwuqi said: "Those businessmen are not stupid. He is so blatantly plucking the wool, and they are so obedient? Are they willing to throw a lot of real gold and silver for nothing? There are more wolves than meat, and they will definitely not have their share in the end." , I don't believe they are willing to throw money in it for nothing!"

Feng Jiuxiao scolded with a smile: "What do you mean wasting money for nothing? What do you mean a lot of real money? Brother, for those rich people, how much money can they use to build those small roads? For them, that little money It’s not enough for them to drink the flower wine once! The reason why they are willing to join the competition and spend money in it is because it is profitable! The money for building the village road is a drop in the bucket for them, even if it is in vain, they can still listen to it. Sounds right? But once the bid is won, the profit will be astronomical! If it were you, would you like to take a chance?"

Wang Sheng said: "If it were me, I would definitely give it a shot! You will have a chance if you win, and you will have no chance if you don't win! It is human nature to win big with a small one!"

Pang Shiwu frowned and said: "But in the end, only one company won the bid. The hope is so slim. Even if they are not afraid of throwing money, they are not afraid of losing face?" So if you are still willing to do it, it will definitely be profitable! But in their eyes, the so-called benefits are not necessarily real money! Even if they didn’t win the bid this time, they have made friends with Prefect Li. The benefits are not so much money. It can be exchanged! They repaired dozens of broken roads in the villages for Li Taishou. Do you really think that Li Taishou would take them for granted? Which of these people is not a good person? No matter how upright you are, Mr. Li, you can't turn a blind eye to it, right? People are not grass, who can be ruthless?"

Da Jinya put up a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Mr. Feng's layout is really not ordinary! Fifteen brothers, hehe, the problem you mentioned just now that there are too many monks and too little porridge, the prefect Li has already thought of it! If only one family wins the bid, then The competition is too cruel. How can such a big piece of fat be thrown down without killing people? So he divided the road construction project in Changzhou City into four tenders! A big piece of fat was divided into four parts! One part was divided into four parts , the firepower is scattered, and the contradictions and pressures are naturally eased a lot! Of course, there is a prerequisite here, that is, the number of beans obtained by these four companies must be more than [-]! That is to say, the quality of the project must be trusted by most ordinary people. OK! If the number of beans obtained by the top four merchants exceeds [-], then each of them will take one share! If only two merchants have enough [-] beans, then the two will share equally! If only three merchants have enough beans, then The three families will each get a share first, and then start the second round of competition to fight for the last share! Choose three villages from the lagging villages for the second round of competition!"

This time Pang Shiwu also slapped his thigh straight, "Damn it! It's amazing! The remaining fat is three villages cheaper! It's good news for the common people to be an official like Li Taishou! Hey, if What if only one family is qualified?" Da Jinya said: "Then this family will share two pieces of meat first, continue to introduce new faces, and compete for the remaining two pieces of meat! Anyway, there are many people who want to eat meat, so don't worry about it. People!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Then what is the final result?"

Da Jinya said: "In the end, only three companies reached 100 beans, and then they really tried the second round. In the first round, prefect Li personally supervised the battle, so no one dared to do anything wrong. Everything was according to the prefect's intention. It was going on, but in the second round, the prefect relaxed his vigilance, because everything went so smoothly, he was a little proud, so he asked others to supervise. So the problem came, and the third-ranked boss Zhu began to bribe Those ordinary people who are qualified to invest in beans bribe the yamen servants who have the power of supervision. Those ordinary people and yamen servants can’t earn dozens of taels of silver a year, and the boss Zhu makes a shot of [-] taels. Who has seen such a battle? Naturally, Zhu The old boss took over. The final result is naturally that Boss Zhu got the most beans! He became the biggest winner, and Changzhou Engineering won half of the country. Is that okay?”

"And then, he cut corners and pretended to be fake?"

"Profitable businessmen and profiteers, no business without profiteering, cutting corners is inevitable, but after all, Taishou Li was in charge of this project, so Boss Zhu didn't really have a big problem with cutting corners, and the quality was even good! His problem was that he went too far. Strictly implemented Li Taishou's principle of making the road as wide as possible and the quality as good as possible."

"Damn it, the problem of trying to be as wide as possible and as good as possible is a big problem, and it is easy to exceed the standard if you are not careful!"

"Gao! Young master is so smart, you are right! The surname Zhu is too bad!"

"Is he really over the mark?"

"Hehe, it's not just exceeding the standard, it's simply exceeding the standard! One of the road sections that Boss Zhu is in charge of has created a big scene with eight lanes!"

"Damn! The problem is not small! Didn't you just say that Jiang Ning is the six-lane lane?"

"That's right! The capital of the Tang Dynasty only has six lanes, but you have eight lanes in a small Changzhou. Isn't this looking for trouble?"

"Hehe, it's not just looking for trouble, it's looking for death! Then what did Prefect Li say when he found out?"

"What else can I say? Of course I was furious and cursed! But Boss Zhu insisted that he strictly followed the prefect's intention for construction. If the prefect is not satisfied, it can be rebuilt, but it will cost more!" Demolition also requires labor. Fee!
Feng Jiuxiao couldn't help laughing, "Boss Zhu is really thick and dark! What happened next?"

"Later, Li Taishou's staff said, "Master Li, didn't you say that the population here will skyrocket in the future? Since the skyrocketing population, what's the problem with just eight lanes? Why are you in a hurry? Do you have no confidence in your own governance methods, or do you have confidence in our people?" Don’t you have the confidence to help your subordinates? Li Taishou was silent when he heard this, and after a long time, he said: “Just this one paragraph, don’t take it as an example, if you commit the crime again, you will be punished as a crime!”

Feng Jiuxiao frowned and said: "I thought he was a good official, but he turned out to be a very successful person!" Li Taishou failed to insist on demolishing and rebuilding, Feng Jiuxiao immediately lost a lot of his favor!
Some people have lost their sense of right and wrong and abandoned the bottom line of principle for their own political achievements. If such officials are constantly promoted, it will be unfortunate for the country and the people!

Da Jinya said: "Actually, you have wronged him! If you need to spend more money to rebuild that section of the road, where will you get the money? Is it going to spread the burden on the common people and increase the burden on the common people? He is not that kind of person! But fortunately, that section of the road was not repaired for a long time! It wasn’t Boss Zhu who stabbed the knife in the back, but Boss Zhang who didn’t win the bid! This boss’s background is not weak, of course he was upset that he didn’t eat meat! Then The three competitors are backed by people with powerful hands and eyes. He didn't dare to mess with those three businessmen, so he kept asking the prefect to trouble him! One year later, when all the road sections were repaired, the blackmail collected by Boss Zhang The materials are almost done, so he directly reported to the court! Anyway, the informant letter listed all the crimes he could think of, such as corruption, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and cheating! But none of these made the emperor angry He was not in a hurry even with the eight-lane road that was obviously usurped! What made him anxious was that the population soared and the economy doubled as proposed by the prefect. A baby can be regarded as a step down for the emperor, and the population has dropped by more than 300 people after this f*cking year, isn't this f*cking teasing the emperor?"

Feng Jiuxiao frowned and said: "Just because of this one, he was convicted of deceiving the emperor? This emperor is too uninhibited!"

Da Jinya said embarrassingly: "The network of the surname Zhang is too large, and he has attracted many important court officials to speak for him. No matter how wise the emperor is, he can't stop those people from buzzing around like swarms of flies all day long."

"and then?"

"Then the prefect went to prison. Afterwards, it was found out that there was no corruption. But you are not kidding, how could the emperor release people casually? We had to bring the matter of repairing eight lanes to the table again, and condemned him as a crime of usurpation." , almost killed him! Fortunately, many people knew that Li Taishou was dedicated to the people, and they tried their best to intercede for him. In the end, he was spared the death penalty and sentenced to a few years of hard work! In the end, he ended up depressed and sad to death! If he works in the position of Changzhou prefect for five years, according to his vision, the development of Changzhou will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes!"

Feng Jiuxiao said with emotion: "Although he is a little overjoyed, he is indeed a bit wronged." It is really embarrassing for a capable official to end up like this in the end!
"Actually, he is wronged, he is really wronged! But the wrong is because of the great success you said! He is not too happy! Ten years later, the population here has tripled! Foreign trade has increased by five times! There is a lot of traffic and crowds. , if the current roads are not full of six lanes, they would have been blocked a long time ago! People now say that Li Taishou was too far-sighted! His successor is also very smart, and he did not waste his energy to create a school of his own and ingenuity. , but directly copied Li Taishou’s original Changzhou governance plan! The development of the entire Changzhou city was actually implemented according to the plan formulated by Li Taishou when he was in office! Several large markets were built in the DC area, mainly selling flowers, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. A timber market was built, with medicinal materials market to the south and livestock market to the north, bringing together countless merchants! There are traders from other states and other dynasties, so the people in Changzhou are quite rich! There are even more rich people here than in Jiangning ! By the way, what are you doing in Changzhou? Looking for Li Yu?"

Feng Jiuxiao shook his head and said, "Why am I looking for him? I'm too lazy to talk to him now, I'm looking for General Qiu!"

Da Jinya was startled, "Why are you looking for General Qiu?"

Feng Jiuxiao's eyes flickered, "I want to prove something!"

"What's the matter, can you tell me?"

"Convenient, it's the matter of human trafficking!"

Da Jinya frowned, "He also participated?"

Feng Jiuxiao said coldly: "They all said he was the mastermind! I just want to make sure!"
