Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 237
On this day, Yang Guang held a banquet for the young masters of Jiangling City in a restaurant. Everyone who was named in Jiangling City was invited, and those who were not invited were aggrieved.

Dance music was playing in the restaurant, and the girls were pouring wine and singing to the young men.

Everyone didn't know what this Sui and Jin king was going to do. Could it be that he just invited them to come over for drinks and fun?

After dinner and wine, Yang Guang and the Crown Prince of Daliang stood up together and said: "Everyone, I am the King of Jin in the Sui Dynasty. I came to Daliang today. The people of Daliang are simple and honest, and the city of Jiangling is prosperous. I feel particularly happy when I see it. Marvel.”

"I am the son-in-law of Daliang. After a talk with the Prince of Daliang today, I plan to invest in the development of Daliang. His Highness the Prince will establish a bank in the name of Daliang to provide funds for the development of Daliang. I will personally save 1 taels of gold into the bank. .”

Hearing this, everyone's faces were full of astonishment. This was too big a deal. It cost 1 taels in one move. Da Sui had a lot of background.

Yang Guang stretched out his hand to calm down the noisy atmosphere, and then said: "You should have heard about the construction of our Daxing City, including the latest material cement. Previously, Daxing City also transported some to Jiangling City to give to Lord Liang. This time I Not only saving money, I also plan to bring cement to Jiangling City and build Jiangling City together."

This group of people didn't know what Yang Guang meant by building Jiangling City.

Yang Guang continued: "My initial plan was to build the cement workshop in Jiangling City, but because of the raw materials, the vicinity of Jiangling City is not suitable, so I will build it in the nearest place with raw materials, but this factory The square is also considered to belong to Jiangling City, and the cement will be transported to Jiangling City to build roads, houses, and schools.”

"Jiangling City is such a beautiful place. It should be built better. This time, Prince Daliang took the lead in doing it and is determined to develop Jiangling well."

"Manpower is sometimes scarce, so I have summoned you all today just to help you build Jiangling City."

For a moment, there was a buzz of discussion, and someone asked: "His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, is there anything we can do to assist you?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince and I have divided the next things to be done into small projects. We hope that you can take on these projects and join in the construction of Jiangling City. Of course, the imperial court will award funds."

Earning money from the court is a big project. Many of them are young men who are idle at home. They have relied on the family family to survive. Now the two highnesses want them to go out to work. Not to mention making money, they are not as good as losing money. You have to hug it first.

"I, I, I, Your Highness the King of Jin, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I'll come, I'll come, I'll take care of it."

Yang Guang said with a smile: "You signed up before I even told you the rules. You are not afraid of losing money."

The man said with a serious face: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin said it politely. His Highness the King of Jin is willing to build the beams even if he is not from Daliang. As a native of Daliang, I have received favors from the emperor and been favored by His Majesty and the Crown Prince. De, my family is prosperous, no matter what, I must contribute to the construction of Jiangling City."

If Yang Guang hadn't made the decision himself, he would have thought that the organizer had asked him to do this.

"My two highnesses, I am the same, and I am willing to work hard for the construction of the beam."

Yang Guang sighed at the awareness of this group of people, but also wanted to understand why they were so active.

The first is to show loyalty and attitude in front of the prince Xiao Cong.

The second is that according to usual practice, projects that have always been dominated by the royal family have always been the main source of corruption and bribery.

The top has allocated 1 taels, but after a few levels, there may be only 1000 taels left. Many of these young masters’ families are important officials in the court. How can they not be clear about the family’s livelihood?They were not qualified before, but this time it seems like pie in the sky is falling.But this project is different from their ideal project where corruption is possible. You can definitely make money, but you will never make as much money as corruption.

The money is still allocated by the court, but it is given to you first in the form of a bank loan, and you have to repay it after you use it. The court will not pay the salary until the construction of quality and quantity is completed. For the court, in fact, this form of repayment is now better than before. Save some, after all, there will be less room for corruption.

Xiao Cong didn't expect this group of people to be so enthusiastic.

In the end, Yang Guang had to take control: "Wait a minute, everyone, wait a minute. Nothing can be done in the chaos. Let me give you an example today. Let's try our bidding model first."

"Now there are two concrete highways to be built in the north and south of the imperial city that can only run carriages but not people. These highways are four projects, two east-west and two north-south, connected by a circular road in the middle. , this circular road requires high difficulty, the Construction Bureau will build it by itself, and the remaining four projects will be contracted to you for construction."

"The construction period is seven months, and the project payment for each project is 1 taels of silver. We calculated that the cost of the cement purchased from the cement factory plus other materials is about 500 taels of silver, and now I am Everyone needs to think about it. After everyone goes home and is interested, write down how much money you will need to build this project. The one with the lowest price will get it. Of course, the Construction Bureau will send out supervisors during the construction to avoid cutting corners."

Everyone was surprised. Isn’t this a disguised price reduction?But the profit margin is indeed very large. The allocation is 1 taels, the cost is 500 taels, and the rest of the labor is calculated. It is no problem to earn 5000 taels. How much does labor cost to them?

But Yang Guang's operation method clearly let them compete to lower the price, and it was so aboveboard that they couldn't say anything to refute him in person.

"You can go home and have a good discussion today. We will stay here tomorrow night. I will collect everyone's bid prices and choose the best one. Of course, in addition to the price, you can also add some of your own ideas, such as giving the road Planting trees on either side is a plus.”

Late at night, everyone left after understanding everything.

At the beginning of the second half, three or five friends gathered together to drink with prostitutes.

"Young Master Li, did Li Lao Zhuguo reveal anything about what His Highness the Crown Prince did?"

The man known as Mr. Li drank a glass of wine and said: "There is nothing to say. My old man has been away from the court for three or five years, and he is not well informed. Mr. Zhang, on the other hand, is a popular person in front of His Majesty. He must have some knowledge." News, something happened this time is a bit strange, indescribably strange."

Mr. Zhang said: "My uncle revealed a little bit, saying that Your Majesty will delegate power to the Crown Prince to cooperate with the King of Jin in the Sui Dynasty. I heard that the Daxing City with a population of one million in the Sui Dynasty was built by the King of Jin. Although he used We have never seen his method, but it is probably his method of building Daxing City. Since this incident has given us an opportunity, we cannot miss it."

"Mr. Zhang, just tell me. We will follow your lead and bid together to win the project."

Mr. Zhang laughed and said: "Okay, my idea is this. Even if we lose money on this project, we will still do it. This is a good channel to make friends with His Highness the Crown Prince and the King of Jin. Since Your Majesty has delegated power to the Crown Prince to do it, that is trust." Your Highness, let’s help His Highness the Crown Prince do this together, and His Highness the Crown Prince will naturally understand that we are on the same side as him.”

"Then how do we repay it?"

"Since His Highness Prince Jin said the cost is 500 taels, then we will quote 500 taels and pay for the materials."

"Congratulations, Mr. Zhang."

Mr. Zhang said with a smile: "If you can hug these two people's laps, will you worry about not being able to make money in the future?"
