Great Military Division

Ancient buildings have a very good point, that is, the construction period is relatively fast, and the construction speed is relatively fast. As long as the materials are prepared, work can still be done even in winter.

Unlike modern reinforced concrete structures, it will increase the construction period because the forming time and strength of concrete will be affected in winter.

Yes.

Nanyang Hanting released the news of moving the capital to Luoyang before the Winter Festival Worship Ceremony. The purpose was definitely not only to raise the price of the Golden Silk Monkey, but also to move back to Luoyang before the Winter Festival Worship Ceremony.

After all, the Winter Festival was equivalent to the modern Spring Festival in ancient times. As long as it passes, it means the beginning of a new year, and it is auspicious for the entire court.

Nanyang, Wancheng.

The Emperor's Palace.

Wende Hall.

Liu Bian held the recent construction schedule and nodded slowly: "It's not bad, everything is in the progress of the project. If the current progress continues, it should be completed a day or two earlier."

"Oh, right."

Liu Bian closed the construction schedule and looked up at Xun He: "The reward for the progress of the project at the last node, can it be delivered on time?"

Xun Or bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it has been distributed to the construction team on time. The workers on the construction site are working very hard now. Some people even start work before dawn in order to meet the construction schedule."

"To put it a bit too much, some engineering teams are already talking harshly about the project, saying that they want to snatch the construction period of the final project and make the court go bankrupt."

Liu Bian's KPI management is not only in the daily work, in the usual farming, but also in the Luoyang project, and it will be adjusted at all times to save the maximum construction period.

Judging from the current effect, it is still quite good.

At least, the enthusiasm of the workers is very high, and the quality and speed of the project can also be guaranteed. Although the construction and installation fee is a little more than expected, the construction period can be shortened, which is already a big profit.

"Hahahaha!"

Liu Bian didn't feel that these workers were presumptuous at all, but thought they were very cute and full of fighting spirit: "Good! Very good! This is the spirit that we big Han craftsmen should have."

Huaxia in modern society is known as an infrastructure madman. Although it is ancient today, the spiritual will must be passed on. The construction experience and management methods of the Luoyang Imperial City will be perfectly transmitted to bridges, railways and other infrastructure projects in the future. superior.

The Luoyang Imperial City project is equivalent to a model for Dahan's entire construction team. Only when the model is done well can it truly serve as a guide.

"Tell those construction teams."

Liu Bian pondered for a moment, and said loudly: "I will follow the plan agreed in advance, under the premise of ensuring quality and safety, complete the construction ahead of schedule, and give corresponding rewards."

"In addition to this, these construction teams will also be given priority in the various projects of the imperial court in the future, so they must take it seriously and must not disappoint my heart."

Xun Or nodded and bowed his hands again: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely convey your Majesty's wishes in place, and try to move back to Luoyang before the Winter Festival."

"it is good."

...

Liu Bian waved his hand and took a long breath: "Since that's the case, Wen Ruo will step back first."

Xun Yu bowed deeply: "Here."

Immediately.

He left Wende Hall backwards.

Looking at the back of Xun You leaving, Liu Bian heaved a sigh of relief and said in his heart: "Teacher, the progress of Luoyang Imperial City is much smoother than I imagined."

"However, bridges, railways, and highways are very different from housing construction projects. Do we have to re-plan in the future so that the construction team can go from zero to one?"

The next second, the voice of the Military Division Alliance sounded: "House construction is indeed different from roads and bridges, and once railways are involved, reinforced concrete will definitely be used. We still have to make up for some professional things."

"In terms of management experience, it can definitely be used as a reference, but this construction technology must definitely be re-cultivated. It will take a certain amount of time. The experts are already working on the plan, so rest assured."

Liu Bian was originally a student of engineering, so he naturally has a kind of intimacy with these things, and the Military Division Alliance only needs to order a little bit to understand the meaning.

From a brick-wood structure to a steel-concrete structure, the span is very large. To complete such a large span, the construction team must be fully guided. Only a mature construction team can be competent for the next work. .

Liu Bian nodded slowly, and said deeply, "Those who are not prepared are those who are prepared to fail. I still understand this truth. Let's recover the big man first, and then think about other things."

"You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to take a step at a time. Too fast or too big is not good. Don't worry, teacher, I won't be too impatient. Now is the time to lay a solid foundation."

"If you can think that way, you're right."

The Military Division Alliance was very satisfied with Liu Bian's reaction: "But don't worry, this process won't take too long, judging from the data reported by the current survey team."

"Experts have almost mastered the specific terrain of the Yongliang area. If we take the lead in building roads from here, as long as the technology is mature, we can spread them out soon."

"Although the geography of 800 years ago is very different from the modern terrain, as long as you can grasp the trend of mountains and rivers, it is not a problem for experts at all."

Perhaps before, Liu Bian didn't really believe it, and felt like he was bragging, but now, the Military Division Alliance can easily take down such a big project as the Luoyang Imperial City, which is enough to prove that they have a plan in mind.

Although there were some small mistakes in the middle, they did not affect the major construction. After the report came up, they could be resolved quickly, and they were implemented on the construction site as quickly as possible.

Great!

Really great!

Liu Bian was overwhelmed with admiration, and said in his heart: "I naturally believe in the ability of experts. Our survey team has already been distributed, and it won't be long before we can bring back all the data."

The Silk Road has already been opened, and now it has traveled a small circle. Together with the caravan, the survey team recorded all the real situation in the Western Regions, drew them into pictures, and sent them back piece by piece.

This kind of basic work would take a long time even in modern society, let alone in ancient society. Although Liu Bian didn't know how much they had endured, one could imagine that the process was definitely very difficult.

...

The Military Division Alliance said in an extremely flat manner: "This matter is not in a hurry. Our current problem is to solve the problem in Yizhou. Now is the most critical time. I hope there will be no mistakes."

"rest assured."

Liu Bian was very confident: "With Liu Ba and Huang Quan around, it shouldn't be a problem."

The military division alliance said softly: "I hope so!"

*****
"Patriarch—!"

Outside the door, a familiar voice sounded.

It's Wu Yun.

Wu Yi judged it all at once, and said loudly, "Come in."

Squeak-!
Wu Yun pushed the door open and entered with a smile on his face: "Patriarch, there is good news."

Wu Yidan smiled: "What good news? Let's hear it."

Wu Yun hurriedly took out the information and handed it up: "This is the information just sent back from Shu County. Our loans have all been settled, and the price of the golden silk monkey has risen to 150 gold."

"As expected."

Wu Yi was very calm, as if he had expected this long ago: "It is already October, and in two months, we will enter the rehearsal period for the Winter Festival Ceremony."

"The day when the imperial court moves the capital will definitely come closer and closer. At this time, regardless of the delay on the road, they can only buy it at a high price."

"Not to mention 150 gold, even [-] gold is possible. These guys will definitely not let His Majesty lose face just because of this little money."

Wu Yun had to admit it.

The owner's judgment is indeed very accurate.

The more this is the case, the more confident he is that he can win this business: "What the owner said is true, why don't we go to Pu's house again today?"

"I've heard that they will go to buy a lot of things in the near future. If they send people to Shu County, I'm afraid that the news of the imperial court's acquisition of the golden silk monkey will definitely be known to them."

"it is good."

Wu Yi nodded affirmatively: "That's exactly what I wanted to do. It's the seventh time I've gone, and this time I must win."

Wu Yun cupped his hands: "Patriarch, I think that Pu Hu actually doesn't hate us that much anymore. As long as we can show enough sincerity, it will definitely be no problem to buy these golden silk monkeys."

Naturally, Wu Yi could also feel the change in Pu Hu's mentality. He visited him seven times in a row. Even a stone should be moved by his actions.

"kindness."

With a firm gaze, Wu Yi stood up and waved his hand, "Let's go, it's time to launch a general attack. If Pu Hu can't be taken down, I'm afraid this deal will really be missed."

Wu Yun nodded, turned sideways, and waved his hands as a gesture of invitation: "The head of the family invites first, the horse is ready."

Wu Yi gave a simple grace, and strode out of the room.

These days, they have been living in the post house, which is relatively close to the Pu family.

As long as you leave the city and walk a certain distance into the mountains, you can reach it.

Liu Yan, a dignified general under his command, can do such a thing, which is already giving Park Hu a lot of face.

About half an hour.

Liu Yan and others came to the mountain forest.

There were already two soldiers waiting aside with bows and arrows in their hands: "Sure enough, you are really on time."

Wu Yundan smiled: "For business, that's the way it is. Do you still want to search?"

...

The soldier waved his hand: "Forget it, it's just the two of you, even with weapons, so what? Come with me."

"okay."

Wu Yun responded, and immediately followed the soldiers to Pu's house.

After traveling through the mountains and forests, another quarter of an hour passed.

at last.

Arrived outside Pu's house.

An attendant had long been waiting by the side and waved his hand: "You two, come with me."

Wu Yun nodded, Quan responded, and followed Wu Yi into Pu's cottage.

"Master Park, please stay safe."

Wu Yi took the lead in cupping his hands, smiling authentically.

"okay."

Pu Hu waved his hand, Yang Yang looked impatient, and sighed: "You have come here again and again, and I am almost bored to death by you, so why don't you come here unharmed? No wonder if you are unharmed."

Although Pu Hu's words were harsh, there was no anger on his face. Instead, he waved his hand to signal them to sit aside for a while: "However, this is enough to prove your sincerity. I can take action on these golden silk monkeys."

"Oh?"

Wu Yi was astonished, and hurriedly asked, "Master Pu, do you really mean what you say?"

Pu Hu nodded: "Of course, I, Pu Hu, have always kept my word and will never break my promise, but I still say that, you can buy it if you want, you must take all of them, and there cannot be one left."

"That's natural."

Although there are some non-golden monkey species among these golden monkeys, the number is limited after all, and the loss can almost be tolerated.

Therefore, Wu Yi agreed without any hesitation: "Since we want to buy, we will naturally take all of them away. On this point, Master Park can rest assured."

“But the price”

Immediately afterwards, Wu Yi turned to the key question: "Can it be made cheaper? The price of two hundred gold is indeed too expensive, and we simply cannot afford it."

"can!"

Pu Hu nodded slowly: "That's ten gold cheaper, 190 gold, you just take them all away."

Even so, Wu Yun can guarantee to make money, but the money he earns is not much, and it can't satisfy his appetite at all: "Master Park, the price of 190 gold is indeed a bit too high."

"You have more than 100 gold-threaded monkeys here. Calculated in this way, it is close to [-] million gold. Not to mention that our Wu family can't afford it, even if we sell Yizhou, we probably can't afford it."

Pu Hu glanced at Wu Yun, and said coldly: "Then how much do you want to buy? Do you know how long it took me to raise so many golden monkeys? How much effort did it cost me?"

"Let me tell you, when I was young, I went hunting in the mountains and almost died in the mountains. If it wasn't for the golden-haired monkey to save me, I wouldn't be alive at all."

"They are all spiritual. I wouldn't have sold them to you if you hadn't been begging for nothing to buy them. How dare you bargain with me now?"

"uh that"

In any case, Wu Yun would definitely not buy it at the price of 190 gold.

After pondering for a while, he finally had an idea: "Of course, we also know that the golden silk monkey is spiritual, otherwise it wouldn't be called a monkey."

"It is precisely because of its spirituality that the price is high!"

Wu Yun first affirmed Pu Hu's words, although it was a magical turning point: "However, no matter how high the price is, it can't reach 190 gold. We have to go according to the value, right?"

...

"Yes."

Wu Yi immediately echoed, "The price of 190 gold is indeed too expensive, we can't afford it."

Pu Hu breathed out and waved his hand: "Then tell me, how much can you charge?"

Wu Yun swallowed his saliva, and tentatively replied: "110 gold, how about it?"

"110 gold?"

Pu Hu let out a sneer, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

"Of course!"

Wu Yun was too good at observing words and demeanor, so before Pu Hu could continue, he interrupted directly: "The price of 110 gold is a price for others. If Pu Hu is in charge, of course it won't work."

call-

Only then did Pu Hu exhale, his expression softened slightly: "Then tell me, how much money can I buy?"

Although the current price has risen to 150 gold, Wu Yun is absolutely sure that he can bring the price to around [-] gold, but he still wants to control the cost as much as possible to ensure enough profit.

"The villain thinks."

Wu Yun glanced at the Patriarch, and gave him a wink, signaling that this was his last bid, and if the other party was still not satisfied, it would be up to you, the Patriarch, to make up for it.

Wu Yi nodded slightly to show understanding.

Only then did Wu Yun heave a sigh of relief, and said, "The price of 130 gold is already sky-high."

Pu Hu didn't talk nonsense, he got up directly, and waved his hand: "Come here."

"Wait a minute!"

Wu Yi couldn't understand Pu Hu's actions all too well.

It is clear.

The next step is the rhythm of the order to evict customers.

Now, when it was finally time to take Pu Hu down, Wu Yi would never allow any accident to happen at this time.

So he interrupted without hesitation, raised his eyes to look at Wu Yun, and shouted sharply: "You don't have a place to talk here, let me go down."

"I"

Wu Yun looked troubled.

But unfortunately, he still couldn't stand Wu Yi's scolding: "Go down quickly."

Wu Yun bowed his body and cupped his hands, helplessly: "Here."

Immediately.

Bow and exit the room.

At this moment, Wu Yi just let out a sigh of relief, and bowed his hands to Pu Hu: "I'm really sorry, Master Pu, the servants are ignorant, so please don't take offense."

"Humph."

Wu Yi understood this kind of routine, so naturally he couldn't hide it from Pu Hu.

Pu Hu snorted softly, sat down slowly, and said softly: "General Wu, the best thing you can do is offer a price that I can accept, otherwise your fate will not be worse than his, do you understand?"

"And let me tell you, my patience has been exhausted. If the negotiation fails this time, don't come here again. I will strictly order the soldiers to shoot and kill any outsiders who enter the mountain, no matter who they are!"

Wu Yi originally gave himself a chance to make a mistake, but seeing that the other party was so angry, he didn't dare to offend easily. After thinking carefully for a while, he finally gave him the highest price he recognized:

"How is this?"

Wu Yi took a deep breath, it was hard for him to do it, but he still said with certainty: "I want it all for the price of 150 gold."

Sure enough, when the reserve price given by the court was reached, Pu Hu didn't bother to waste any more breath, and waved his hand: "Before I regret it, bring the money as soon as possible and complete the transaction."

Wu Yi was overjoyed and nodded quickly: "Master Pu, don't worry, I don't know how many monkeys are there in your place?"

...

Pu Hu said casually: "There are 230 and six monkeys, including 140 and four golden-haired monkeys, and a total of 92 monkeys of other species."

"it is good."

Wu Yi was completely relieved, and took out a stack of Zhongxing Bank's large-amount banknotes from his pocket: "Deal! Within three days, I will send someone to buy the Golden Silk Monkey. These are Zhongxing Bank's banknotes, totaling [-] million yuan."

Gold is not legal tender, only money is legal tender.

Therefore, the silver bills of Zhongxing Bank are also approved according to money, not gold.

Now the agreed transaction price of 150 gold must be fully converted into money before the final transaction can be carried out.

Pu Hu took the bank note from Zhongxing Bank, grinned, and nodded slowly: "That's all you guys are good at, be particular about it, fine, that's it, I'll accept it, but if you don't come within three days, the money won't be refunded .”

"Master Park, don't worry."

Wu Yi was sure and affirmative: "In three days, my people will definitely return, so you can rest assured."

Pu Hu nodded: "In that case, I will wait for three days."

Wu Yi cupped his hands: "It's over here, and Wu will leave."

Pu Hu waved his hand and said, "Go slowly, I won't see you off."

When Wu Yi left the Pu family, Wu Yun immediately came up to meet him, and said in a low voice, "Patriarch, are we done talking?"

Wu Yi nodded, and said very solemnly, "Don't worry, we've already talked about it."

"how much?"

"150 gold."

"It really is"

Wu Yun heaved a sigh of relief. This was the base price he expected: "150 gold!"

Wu Yi said softly: "That's right, 150 gold, you are responsible for raising the price to [-] gold, even so, we can earn hundreds of thousands of gold, which can be regarded as a big profit."

"Don't worry, I will do my best."

Now that the matter has come to this point, Wu Yun has no other choice but to agree, "Two hundred gold is the bottom line. If I have more time, I would like to talk about 220 gold or 230 gold as much as possible."

Wu Yi stared at Wu Yun incredulously, and asked urgently, "Do you have a solution?"

Wu Yun shook his head: "No, it's just a bet on the determination of the Nanyang court. If it doesn't work, the two hundred gold will be sold."

"it is good."

Wu Yi patted Wu Yun on the shoulder: "I believe in your ability, go ahead and do it. Our Wu family can return to the Central Plains only because of this business."

Wu Yun bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Patriarch, don't worry, just leave it to me."

Wu Yi nodded: "Let's go back to Shu County."

Wu Yun: "Here."

Not long after the two left, the attendant told Pu Hu: "Patriarch, they have already left. Judging from the route, they didn't return to the city, so they should have gone straight to Shu County."

"kindness."

Pu Hu nodded and took a deep breath: "The task entrusted to me by the court is finally completed. You rush to the city, report this matter to Huang Quan, and let him arrange it as soon as possible. Don't show your feet."

"Here."

The attendant bowed and cupped his hands: "Patriarch, don't worry, I will go now."

Park Hu waved his hand to signal him to leave.

Pu Hu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery not far away, with a faint smile on his lips.

Those non-gold-threaded monkeys were all his own monkeys, close to a hundred, and all of them were sold at a price of 150 gold, which was almost [-] gold.

Pu Huke has never seen so much money, enough for the whole family to live for several years, and even live frugally for decades, it is not impossible.

Just a random note from the Nanyang court actually gave such a big discount to his family. In the future, it can be regarded as guaranteed. The Yizhou gentry deserves to die.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources and switch, read aloud with many timbres, . 】

"Come on."

Pu Hu hurriedly greeted him.

"Homeowner."

A servant came and bowed.

"Quickly pass down the order. When these golden-haired monkeys go out, all the clansmen in Langzhong will be in a state of combat readiness. All the mines in the mountain passes will be buried. Without orders, they must not go out of the mountain."

Wu Yi is not a fool. If this lie is exposed, they will bear the brunt of it. He must guard the top of the mountain and never let these guys rush in.

"Here."

The servant responded, then turned and left.
