Chapter 164: Hope
Yishan Garden, Jiashu Pavilion.
"For officials, is that cement? That's clearly a blind political achievement! Wang Mengxiang's excited old face turned red.
"Two capitals and thirteen provinces, which prefecture and which county do not have a big project that they want to do? But is this big project so easy to build? Not to mention the high cost and high risk, the key is that it takes a long time, often for several years. ”
"As time goes on, there are many variables. The most grassy thing is that the project is almost finished, and you have to move someone else's place after a paper order. As a result, it became a wedding dress for others. How many officials do you say can make up their minds to do it? ”
"Not really." Wang Shimao nodded approvingly.
"But this thing is cement, God! Fast and sturdy! With it, dreams can be illuminated into reality, and the people will set up a shrine! With real political achievements, who can stop you from being promoted? Wang Mengxiang spat again.
"Uh-huh." Wang Shimao nodded like pecking rice and said, "I want to go out of the mountain to be an official." ”
He is a Jinshi in Jiajing for 38 years, but others have the title of the gold list, and the scenery is infinite, but he is witnessing his father's head in a different place, and the two brothers Wang Shizhen wept and mourned, and returned with mourning.
After serving the court, the imperial court has repeatedly awarded officials, but he has always been discouraged and afraid of his career. This time, the eldest brother has gone out to be an official, but he is still nesting in Yishan Garden as an otaku.
Wang Mengxiang didn't know how many times he persuaded him, Wang Shimao was indifferent, but he let the cement hook his mind, and the power of this artifact can be seen!
"Then go out of the mountain!" Wang Mengxiang was overjoyed and said: "Suzhou Governor Cai Guoxi and Songjiang Governor Zhenji are both your same year, wouldn't it be appropriate for them to recommend them." ”
"Hmm......" Wang Shimao muttered, "I'll go see them when I have a chance." ”
"They are sure to do their best to help you, otherwise they will cut themselves off from cement." Wang Mengxiang tilted his head, thinking about Du Mei's panic.
"In less than two years, officials all over the world will understand this. What do you think the situation will be? ”
"Strive to be friends with our Jiangnan company." Wang Shimao also tilted his head, head to head with Wang Mengxiang, and was so beautiful that he bubbled together. "Who dares to offend us. I'm sorry, but cement has nothing to do with you. You can only watch others get promoted, stand aside yourself, and be poked in the backbone by the people and scolded you for being incompetent. ”
"Hahaha, that's good. As long as the cement is in our hands for one day, the officials of the world will scold us! "Wang Mengxiang was going to say, 'Look up to us and snort', but he felt that it was too arrogant.
"In that case, we have to hold on to this stock." Wang Shimao suddenly felt that everyone in the world would have the idea of playing their own shares.
"Not really." Wang Mengxiang took a sip of wine and sighed: "Only then did I know how much favor Zhao Gongzi sold to us at that time. ”
"Not bad." Wang Shimao thought so. Zhao Hao has only been in Suzhou for two months, and he has done so many things, obviously everything has been planned.
Cement, in particular, is not known for how long it took to be researched.
Even he can see the incomparably beautiful prospects of cement, with Zhao Gongzi's astonishing business acumen, how can he not be clear?
Although Zhao Gongzi sold them shares, it seems that it is simply given away for nothing - with the little money and food they paid, I am afraid that they will not be able to buy a single point!
Even if Zhao Gongzi wanted to establish an alliance, giving them one percent was more than enough - when he was in Beijing, he gave those Shangshu and Guogong shares, but not even half of this amount.
But Zhao Gongzi generously gave them half of it, and it was half of a family!
What does this mean?
This shows that Zhao Gongzi sincerely treats them as his own. He said, 'Let's work together and do a great job.' It's not just an empty phrase.
~~
"At the beginning, Zhao Gongzi was here, knocking on the matter of the maritime merchant with me, but I was hesitant and talked about him left and right. It's so unbelievable. As soon as he thought of this, Wang Shimao couldn't help but be ashamed and said inexplicably:
"Only now do I understand that Zhao Gongzi is hinting at me, and he has already figured out the nine of us clearly. I haven't told him this bottom yet, Zhao Gongzi must be with me in his heart...... Divided ......"
Wang Shimao's eyes turned red, and his joy turned into worry.
"Oh, blame me for being a fool." Wang Mengxiang also reviewed. "At that time, I could see that Zhao Gongzi was interested in this part of the sea, but I still advised you to wait for him to speak. It's so selfish. ”
"The old man is actually small and shrewd, but when it comes to great wisdom, he is far worse than Master Hua." Saying that, the color on Lao Wang's face was also gone, and he sighed and said, "Do you see how invested people are? Not to mention that there are more shares than us, Hua Taishi hangs the chairman, Hua Bozhen manages the cement yard, and now the Hua family has become Zhao Gongzi's right-hand man. ”
"Uh-huh." Wang Shimao nodded and said, "We are indeed lagging behind." ”
"It's not too late to make amends." Wang Mengxiang slapped the table heavily and said, "We have to explain to Zhao Gongzi as soon as possible, and then ask him what he thinks." If he wants to sit in the vacant seat vacated by the Lu family, we will do our best to help him sit on it! ”
"Uh......" Wang Shimao looked at Wang Mengxiang, and when it came to this, he couldn't help but ask: "Isn't the uncle also a little missing?" ”
"Hey, hey." Wang Mengxiang's old face turned red, it turned out that no one was blind. "When you can't have both fish and bear's paws, I give up the fish and take the bear's paw."
After speaking, he said with anticipation on his face: "Besides, the eight families are already in chaos, and the sea is also a mess, and Zhao Gongzi is needed to re-establish the water, fire, and wind." When I see it, I can have it both ways! ”
"Wise!" Wang Shimao praised: "Then do it, let's go to Kunshan tomorrow." ”
"The more urgent the matter, the more it must be delayed." Wang Mengxiang waved his hand and said: "This headless and brainless ran over, which made Zhao Gongzi look down on him." Let's wait patiently for a few days, we will come up with a charter, and wait for the completion of the embankment at the end of the month, and we will talk about it when we congratulate it. ”
"Cheng, listen to my uncle." Wang Shimao naturally did not refuse.
~~
The good news from Kunshan not only stirred the hearts of the dignitaries, but also quickly reached the ears of the people.
Those Kunshan people who were outside couldn't sit still.
Suzhou City, Taicang Prefecture, Jiading, and Changshu all set off a large-scale wave of homecomings almost at the same time.
Kunshan used to be flooded for many years, and the people did not have to eat when they fled out...... In fact, the vast majority of people are self-reliant.
Kunshan people are ingenious, both men and women are good at weaving, and very hard-working, the boss deliberately offers a lower wage than the local people can also accept, so it is not difficult for them to find work in Suzhou counties where the textile industry is thriving.
Many people have settled in neighboring counties, and some are already second or third generations, but they are still joining the wave of returning to their hometowns.
In order to retain the technical backbone, employers even said for the first time that they could add money to the same amount as local workers!
But it still can't stop this vigorous wave of resignations.
This surprised the employers and asked them what they thought.
In fact, the workers from Kunshan can't say anything about it. I can only say that I watched everyone else go back, and felt that if I didn't go back, it would be as if I wasn't human.
These Kunshan people who have never read a book themselves do not understand that what attracts them to return to their hometown is two words - 'hope'.
After a hundred years, there is finally hope in Kunshan! These wandering Kunshan people finally saw hope.
That's all.
