Under the leadership of Zheng Peng, Li Longji and Wu Huifei visited other places in the Changluo headquarters, such as the R&D department, quality inspection department, production department, maintenance department and other sheds, and even workers' dormitories, sports fields, kitchens and other places.

When she came to an independent courtyard, Concubine Wu Hui's eyes lit up and she asked, "Champion Hou, this is where you are staying here, right?" ”

The construction site is dominated by slave laborers, the vast majority of dormitories are mainly Chase shops, a dormitory lives ten to twenty people, this single courtyard is different, two bedrooms and one living room, there is a garden and a back yard in front, the house is complete, the decoration is also exquisite, there are two pretty maids to take care of, the windows are bright and clean, and it is different at a glance.

"Back to Niangniang, this is not where Weichen stays, it is the residence of Lu Ping, the commander-in-chief of the Changluo Command." Zheng Peng replied with a smile.

Concubine Wu Hui blinked in surprise, and asked with some curiosity: "Where does the champion stay, this palace wants to see it, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

I heard Zheng Peng introduce earlier, Lu Ping was transferred from the Sanbao, and he was the head of the development department when he was in the Sanbao, and when he came to the Changluo Command, he was the commander-in-chief, whether it was the director or the commander-in-chief, he was inseparable from the identity of a slave.

It's good for a slave to be well fed and clothed, and to give him such a rich service?

The subordinates live so well, Concubine Wu Hui wants to see where Zheng Peng lives.

Concubine Wu Hui opened her mouth, how could Zheng Peng say no, and he didn't have anything to see, so he immediately took the two of them to where he lived.

"The place is a bit messy, which makes the emperor and the mother laugh." Zheng Peng said modestly.

"Champion, this is... Where do you live? Concubine Wu asked in disbelief.

Where Lu Ping lives, there are all kinds of beautiful maids, the bedding is all high-quality silk, and there are fruits and snacks on the table, which looks very classy, and the place where Zheng Peng lives, although it is also a single courtyard, but the maids who are not taken care of in it also have any household goods, which are several grades lower than Lu Ping's residence.

No, the subordinate lives better than the master, this is a slave bully?

Is there any humility?

Zheng Peng said calmly: "Back to Niangniang's words, when Weichen was at the construction site, he had been living here. ”

Gao Lishi raised the question in his heart for Concubine Wu Hui very wisely: "Champion, you are the master, he is the servant, a slave worker lives more comfortably than the master, why put the cart before the horse?" ”

Li Longji and Concubine Wu Hui both set their eyes on Zheng Peng to see how Zheng Peng explained.

Zheng Peng coughed dryly, and said with a flat face: "It's not an end upside down, Lu Ping is the most powerful talent under me, eat with his ability, let him live comfortably, comfortably, so that he can devote himself to work, it can be regarded as a win on the hearts of the people, and it is actually his own choice to live here in Weichen, how to say it, it is simple, pure heart and few desires, so that it is easy to concentrate and do things more efficiently." ”

Gao Lishi said with some emotion: "The champion is so self-disciplined, no wonder he can make so many achievements, and the old slave is ashamed of himself." ”

Concubine Wu Hui glanced at Zheng Peng and asked, "Champion Hou, there is a question in this palace that I can't figure out, I don't know whether to ask it or not." ”

"If there is anything wrong with Niangniang, just say hello, Weichen knows everything."

"I heard that the champion has invested a lot on this road, not only has his savings been invested for many years, but he has also been burdened with huge debts, right?"

"Yes, sis."

"Although this palace is a female streamer, she also knows that solving financial difficulties is nothing more than open source and throttling, with the wisdom of the champion, open source is definitely not a problem, but in terms of throttling, it seems that it is not enough, the food of ordinary slave workers is incomparably different from ordinary ordinary people, and the service of some slave workers is about to catch up with the Yin Shi family."

The dormitory where the slave workers live, clean and hygienic, and a kettle, the kitchen is full of good rice, chickens, ducks, and fish in the basin, and there is a small single room in the canteen next to the kitchen, like Lu Ping's high-status slave laborers, the standard is eight dishes and one soup, which is better than many people in Chang'an City, like a sports field, and also places a lot of entertainment facilities such as stone locks, stone benches, and pitchers, and it is said that slave workers also issue a set of clothes every month, and those who perform well even have monthly money.

Isn't it just a group of slaves, why are they so high, not to mention that each slave doesn't spend much, the problem is that there are too many people.

Gao Lishi also said on the side: "Chang'an City knows that the champion candidate has always been sympathetic to the subordinates, but the champion candidate is also too good to the subordinates. ”

There is a sentence that Colliers didn't say because he took care of Zheng Peng's face, if Zheng Peng wasn't so good to his subordinates, it was estimated that he wouldn't have to owe so many foreign debts.

Zheng Peng said with a serious face when he heard this: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, this matter has to be explained by Weichen, there is actually a purpose for doing this." ”

Changluo Road has always been Zheng Peng's planning, preparation, and construction, and the land involved in the government does not cost money to build the road, which is considered Li Longji's shareholding, and Li Longji is also a shareholder of Changluo Road.

"Oh, Zheng Aiqing has something to say, just say it." Li Longji sat down by himself and said calmly.

I have seen a lot of winds and waves, isn't it just to give a few more bites to my subordinates, it is not a matter for Li Longji at all, as for the dividends of the winery, that is, boring and playful, now that the treasury is full, as the king of a country, Li Longji is not short of money to spend at all.

The last time the treasury was counted, a lot of copper coins had been accumulated in the warehouse for many years, and the ropes that tied the money were broken.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, put aside those etiquettes, we value efficiency the most, and the benefit is the result minus the loss, for example, save some for those slave laborers, let them eat less and work more, spend three copper coins a day on them, these slave laborers can create a wealth of ten copper coins a day, then as the master, the income a day is seven copper coins; Be generous to the slaves, let them be fed and motivated, and spend ten copper coins a day on them, and they can create a wealth of twenty copper coins a day, and the income of the master is ten copper coins a day, and for a shrewd man, he must choose the latter. ”

After a pause, Zheng Peng added: "It is better for these slave laborers, and the period of their work can be longer, if a slave worker is put to death, it will be overwhelmed with ten or eight years, but when they are better, take good care of their bodies, and use them for one or two decades more is not a problem, or they can't see the benefits for a while, and in the long run, they will still make a steady profit." ”

"This makes sense" Li Longji nodded and said: "Zheng Aiqing's account is shrewd, not bad, no wonder the road was built in such a short time." ”

From Chang'an to Luoyang, more than a thousand miles, the road conditions along the way are complicated, but Zheng Peng completed it in just over three years, if this matter is handed over to the Ministry of Industry, if Li Longji does not give a death order, it will take at least five or six years to complete, and the quality is not necessarily as high as the current Changluo Road.

Concubine Wu Hui also nodded in agreement: "This palace has also seen that those slaves work very hard, and their spirit is much higher than that of ordinary people, and the champion is worthy of being the wise man of the Tang Dynasty, so nothing can be difficult for you." ”

"Niangniang has a good reputation, and Weichen is just tossing blindly, if it weren't for the emperor's support, how could there be today's achievements." Zheng Peng said modestly.

While he was talking, Zhuang San trotted over and saw Zheng Peng and Li Longji talking, standing there with some hesitation, as if he wanted to step forward but didn't dare.

When Zheng Peng saw it, he beckoned to him and said, "Zhuang San, is there something wrong?" ”

"Young master, the master said that everything is ready, and it is ready for a second test at any time." Zhuang San said respectfully.

It is easy to do things with many people, the stones of the second carriage can be thrown to the side of the road, and it does not take much effort to change a bearing, especially when the emperor and Concubine Hui are here, everyone is even more quick to do things, and the stones are evacuated at the fastest speed, the bearings are replaced, and the strong force responsible for pushing and the horses pulling the cart are also ready, as long as Zheng Peng gives an order, you can test under the ideal state.

Zheng Peng said that he understood, sent Zhuang San down, and then walked to Li Longji and saluted, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the train is ready, and it can be tested for the second time at any time, please here." ”

Li Longji nodded and said, "Okay, I hope Zheng Aiqing will not disappoint me." ”

"I will not disappoint the emperor." Zheng Peng said confidently.
