Big Song Xiaohou Ye

Chapter 78 The so-called talent

Along the Yellow River in Yizhou.

Li Ce and Zhou De'an stood side by side on the river embankment, pointing and bowing their heads from time to time, talking about something.

"Xu Shan is so shameless that he allocated such a section to us. The section he is in charge of has already been repaired almost, and there are no dangerous areas that are difficult to reinforce. Look at our section." Zhou De'an complained and pointed to the water ahead. .

"Well, the early stage has been going well, but this section can't be reinforced. After repairing it, it was washed away, and after a while, it was washed away again. What should I do?" Zhou De'an looked at the flooding Yellow River in front of him, and sighed. .

"Someone has to repair it, let's say it's for the people of Yizhou. Brother Zhou, to be honest, you and I don't have to worry about dispatching troops or arresting thieves. We are laymen to repair the embankment. Looking for professional talents." Li Ce said with a half-smile and half-sigh.

"Professional talents?" Zhou De'an didn't react to Li Ce's novel words for a moment.

"Oh, well... people who understand water conservancy. It's like looking for a blacksmith to make iron, a carpenter to make furniture, and someone who can repair river embankments." Li Ce explained to him.

With a bitter face, Zhou De'an sighed, "Where can I find it now? Who knows where there is someone who understands this?"

Li Ce bowed his head and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "We don't need to find this by ourselves, we have to let these people deliver it to us."

"You have a solution?" Zhou De'an's eyes lit up.

"You are like this, like this..." Li Ce immediately explained to Zhou De'an one by one.

"Wonderful, Brother Li is really resourceful and resourceful. I'll get ready right away." Zhou De'an bid farewell and left happily.

Yizhou Guangji Street, this street can be said to be a commercial street in Yizhou, where there are many merchants, restaurants, tea shops, clothing estimates shops, jewelry shops, and escort agencies.At this time, the owners of these stores were all called together.

"Everyone, we all know about the flood in Yizhou. Now we urgently need masters who understand water conservancy, but we don't have any in Yizhou. I know that everyone has a big plate and often travels everywhere, especially Master Liu, who has traveled all over the country. Da Song, right?" These merchants came here in a hurry after receiving the notice from the county lord.

Known as Master Liu, he is the helm of the Yizhou Liu Family Escort Bureau. His name is Liu Gan. He is in his 30s this year. He has been flying darts since he was a teenager.Hearing this, he nodded noncommittally, but he was wondering why the county magistrate Zhou suddenly cared about us merchants. Could it be that we are short of money and want us to raise donations?Liu Gan's heart skipped a beat.

Everyone else thinks the same way, some people have already started to think hard about how to cry poor...

"I called everyone here today, I want to ask you to help me..."

Come, come, sure enough, all the merchants are crying.

Zhou De'an glanced at the crowd, but found that everyone was lowering their heads, as if they were frowning and thinking hard, and some were still scratching their scalps anxiously. This...Zhou De'an was a little dazed, something was wrong with this situation.

"I want to ask you to spread a piece of news." Zhou De'an said with emphasis.

"What?" Liu Qian raised his head first and asked with a look of disbelief.

Everyone also hurriedly raised their heads to look at the county magistrate Zhou, waiting for him to continue.

"It's just posting notices and telling the world that Yizhou paid a lot of money to hire masters who understand water conservancy to help control the river. Of course, the county government will not let you run errands for nothing, and you will be paid."

"That's it?" Liu Gan was completely stunned this time, is it that simple?
"Return the wages?" Others were also a little speechless. Is this true?The county government never discusses with us, but orders directly. What's the matter today?I thought I was here to donate money, but I was lucky enough to donate money, just to spread a message?What's even more exaggerated is that there are wages!
Seeing everyone's disbelief, Zhou De'an smiled helplessly and said, "That's it, everyone, don't have any doubts. Apart from this, there is nothing else to do, but this matter is indeed extremely urgent, and I hope everyone can take care of it."

The crowd was completely relieved now, and they all promised: "My lord, just don't worry, I will do my best to spread the news as quickly and widely as possible!"

"There is no need for wages, some small things are just a little effort, and we are doing a little bit for our Yizhou." Liu Gan said with a smile.

"That's right, what Liu Biaotou said is very true." All the merchants echoed.

Zhou De'an was overjoyed, cupped his hands and said, "Then I will thank you all!"

Zhou De'an quickly distributed the printed leaflet to the merchants, and repeatedly told them to spread it as quickly as possible.

"You can sign your shop's name on each single page. As long as someone comes with the single page you sent out, this merit will be yours. Reward... the head office of the next Tongji Street He will be in charge of the boss." Zhou Dean explained while ordering someone to send out a large stack of single pages.

"My lord, are you serious?" Liu Qian was the first to speak. His funds in the bodyguard agency are not as good as those of the other shopkeepers, and they are always overwhelmed by them in the competition for the elders every three years. Now that he has such an opportunity, how can he Don't make him ecstatic.

Escorts go all over the world. This natural advantage is unmatched by others. Others, such as wine shops and pharmacies, only go to other places when they buy goods. I was one step ahead of them.

"My lord, this...Liu Biaotou obviously has an advantage. Besides, the old people in this industry, the government has never interfered?" The one who spoke was this year's head office boss, Qian Treasurer of Tongji Pharmacy.

As the saying goes, the fastest way to get money is to rob the road, and the second is to sell medicine. The money shopkeeper has been occupying the boss's seat in the head office all year round by virtue of the huge profits of the drug store, so that he can use the power of the boss in the head office to gain some privileges It turns out that the profit-making business used to be bigger, and now it has almost monopolized the entire medicinal material market in Yizhou. If he suddenly loses his old position in the head office and his privileges, his business will definitely be greatly affected. How can he not? Urgent, so the first to stand up against.

Zhou De'an didn't know that there were so many twists and turns, but Li Ce came up with such a way to mobilize their enthusiasm and prevent them from being perfunctory.

In the past few years, shopkeeper Qian has used his status as an old man in the head office to bully the market and seek personal gain for his pharmacy. advantage, but it doesn't mean that I don't have a chance, it's better than letting shopkeeper Qian occupy it.

Some shopkeepers have even started to make their own calculations. Although I am not as good at traveling the world as you, I can hire someone to look for it in other places. It is nothing to spend a little money. This is a real three-year head office. Old man, you want to have face, and you want to be profitable.

After figuring out the key point, all the shopkeepers hurriedly began to express their opinions, expressing their willingness to contribute their own strength to Yizhou.

"Hey, hey, give me a few more, give me a few more." Zhang, the shopkeeper of the restaurant, was already impatient and wanted to grab it.

"Hey, there's me, there's me..." Upon seeing it, all the shopkeepers hurriedly rushed towards the yamen servant who handed out the leaflet.

Zhou De'an came back and told Li Ce about the situation just now, Li Ce patted Zhou De'an's shoulder in surprise and said, "Okay, old Zhou, you are talented, haha."

Zhou De'an already knew the meaning of "talent" just now, he scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Where, Brother Li came up with the idea, I'm just responsible for implementing it."

Li Ce suddenly remembered a sentence from later generations, what is a talent?The so-called talent is that you give him one thing, he does it, you give him another thing, he does it again, it's as simple as that.De'an's execution ability this week is not bad, um, it's a talent.
