Chapter 376: How to reward the powerful Prince Consort? (Please subscribe!!)
"One year, I only give him one year!"

"Have you made this clear to that boy Ouyang Lun!?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

"Go back to Your Majesty, I will tell Ouyang Prince Consort clearly!"

"Very good. If the four southern provinces cannot be restored within a year, then I will have to operate on him and give an explanation to the people of the four southern provinces!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes sparkled.

"Your Majesty, Prince Consort Ouyang also asked me to bring you a message. He said that after the problems in the four southern provinces are resolved, he would like to rest for a while and take his wife and children out for a walk." Wang Zhong spoke again.

"Going for a walk? Where to go? Isn't it good to stay in the capital?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"This Ouyang Prince Consort didn't say anything, but he said that the world is so big and he wants to see it." Wang Zhong said truthfully.

"The world is so big, he wants to see it." Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched.

The people’s income is increased and guaranteed!
He is increasingly confident in the government led by Ouyang Lun.

All of this is naturally indispensable for Ouyang Lun's motivation method, and the method is also very simple. Each project and each project is implemented individually. As long as it is completed on time, everyone on the entire project will receive bonuses. If it is completed ahead of schedule with quality and quantity, there will also be bonuses. There are more bonuses. In addition, the management system used to build the Great Wall is also used here. Various advanced individual and group awards are provided, and various benefits are provided.

In the past three months, the six words "Southern Construction Group" have become the most mentioned among the people.

The efficiency of "Southern Construction Group" is directly higher than that of any previous group.

The changes in the four southern provinces directly shocked everyone. In just three months, the four southern provinces, which were already in deep decline, were revitalized.

As the news spread, many businessmen and people from surrounding provinces began to flock to the four southern provinces. On the one hand, they wanted to see the changes in the four southern provinces with their own eyes, and on the other hand, they also wanted to see if there were any new opportunities.

Ouyang Lun saw that the time had come and immediately launched a new plan - commercial housing!

Of course, this is a macro change. For the people, what they are even more pleased about is that for those who participate in projects led by the Southern Construction Group, their monthly wages are paid on time and without delay.

Three months flew by.

So Ouyang Lun had no choice but to use his strongest weapon - demolition!
The government, Southern Investment Group, and Southern Construction Group took the lead and roped in a large number of businessmen and private trading companies to plan new houses in a unified manner.

However, the four southern provinces belong to the hinterland of the Central Plains. They have been the places with the highest population density since ancient times. Except for the mountains and old forests, most of the areas are owned by owners, either fields or villages. Moreover, many towns are very large and the people live in concentrated areas. There is no need to build new cities at all. condition.

For other projects led by construction trading companies, as long as wages are owed, the government will deal with them immediately.

There are still some differences between Northern Zhili and the four southern provinces. Northern Zhili was initially sparsely populated and located on the border. It was quite easy to plan the land and build a new city.

Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men. The money was given in full, and everyone worked hard. It was difficult to imagine whether this efficiency would be achieved quickly.

Seeing how powerful the "Southern Construction Group" is, other construction companies and contractors have also become active. The infrastructure projects in the four southern provinces have been initially revitalized.

Roads, bridges, city walls, and docks are rising one by one.

But this time, Ouyang Lun will start a new model.

Because under the terrifying execution power of the "Southern Construction Group", all unfinished projects in the four southern provinces have resumed work and production, and many construction sites have been completed and new projects have started again.

The commercial housing system has actually been used in Beizhili, but most of it was implemented during the construction of new cities. The people of the Ming Dynasty have already had a certain degree of acceptance of commercial housing.

"Sister, I still want to go and see him! Why does he live so freely?"

"When his problem is solved, come and negotiate terms with me!"

"Tear down the old house and build a new one?!"

"This plan, Lord Governor, is simply too terrifying! If it is repaired, these towns in our four southern provinces can become like the new cities in North Zhili!"

"For such a big project, as long as I undertake a small amount, it will be enough for me to live on for a lifetime!"

"No wonder there are rumors outside that if you follow Li Shanchang, you will be hungry for nine meals in three days, and if you follow the Prince Consort, you will be able to eat well and drink spicy food!"

"I will never wait and see again this time. The Prince Consort asked me to go east, but I will never go west!"

Regarding the commercial housing plan proposed by Ouyang Lun, the businessmen were talking a lot, and each one showed great enthusiasm. Before the 'Southern Construction Group' had just come out, many of them chose to wait and see. Naturally, they missed out on the 'Southern Construction Group'. 'With the opportunity to cooperate, they didn't even take a sip of the soup, and could only watch others making a lot of money.

Now that new opportunities arose, they all joined in without any hesitation.

Soon, a document called the "Urban Construction Plan for the Four Southern Provinces" was released. Its core content was that the houses in the major towns in the four southern provinces were relatively old and needed to be replanned and rebuilt.

Immediately after the plan was announced, the government began land acquisition and demolition matters.

"What! The three shabby houses left by my ancestors can actually accommodate one hundred and fifty taels!?"

"What are you talking about? He Jiu's family in the east of the city lost thousands of taels including their house and land!"

"The government is really good. It not only compensates money, but also compensates houses. People from the government said that after these places are demolished, new houses will be built. Calculated based on one room per person, how many people in your family can How many houses have been allocated? This new house is said to be the same as the house in Xincheng over there in Beizhili! It is spacious and bright!"

"Not only that, the government has also planned schools and markets. Children can go to school right at home. It is also convenient to buy things. There are also hospitals and restaurants. It is hard to imagine how good our life will be in the future!"

With the success of previous infrastructure projects, the trust of people in Ouyang Lun in the four southern provinces can be said to have reached its peak.

Coupled with the availability of money, the demolition work went very smoothly.

The construction of infrastructure has allowed the four southern provinces to recover, and the rise of the real estate industry has directly driven the economic development of the entire four southern provinces, which is equivalent to installing a powerful economic engine for the four southern provinces.

Another three months have passed.

Commercial housing has been delivered, and people have moved into brand-new houses.

The houses are no longer wooden structures, replaced by reinforced concrete. Of course, the construction process is limited. Currently, the highest new houses are nine floors, and are divided into residential areas.

Guangzhou City.

The east area of ​​the city has been given a new look.

It is a spacious and bright street with rows of shops on both sides of the street, and inside the shops is a community with small high-rise buildings. Countless people were walking on the street with happy smiles on their faces.

None of them imagined that half a year ago they were in turmoil and had no hope for the future.

But now, half a year later, they live in clean buildings that they have never lived in before. Every household not only has surplus food, but also has extra money to buy the goods they like. It can be said that they are very wealthy.

Such a life was something they could not even imagine in the past.

The people are happy, and the businessmen are even happier.

It's in the newly built private room of Heaven and Earth in the east area of ​​the city.

Several local businessmen in Guangzhou are gathering together for dinner. Mao Youde, the number one businessman in the four southern provinces, is among them. As one of the major businessmen under Ouyang Lun, Mao Youde will undoubtedly be the protagonist of this banquet. .

Everyone toasted to him.

"Boss Mao, let me toast you. It's all thanks to your care in the past six months that our Zheng's Sand and Stone Factory has been able to develop so fast!" A man with a scar on his face raised his glass and said respectfully.

"Boss Zheng is joking. The quality of the sand and gravel from your Zheng's Sand and Gravel Factory is good. This is the main reason for your success!" Mao Youde said with a smile: "Sand and gravel are needed everywhere now. It won't take long for Boss Zheng's I’m afraid his worth will exceed that of ours!”

"Boss Mao is ridiculous. No matter how well I develop, I can't compare with you, Boss Mao! You are now the general manager of Southern Investment Group. The fate of us small businessmen is in your hands alone. If you want to let anyone out, , This person will definitely not survive the next day!" Boss Zheng said quickly.

"The one we should be most grateful to is the Prince Consort! Without the Prince Consort's foresight and top-level design, how could we be sitting here eating today." Mao Youde said with a smile.

"That's right!" Another businessman stood up, "I am one of the earliest businessmen to do business in the four southern provinces. I came when Li Shanchang was here. At that time, I believed Li Shanchang's lies and invested money in various ways. I almost lost my life. My wife and children were all compensated, but fortunately, the prince-in-law came and the business was easy to do, and now I plan to expand the scale of the business!"

"When Li Shanchang was here, the four southern provinces were full of pits. Now that the Prince Consort is here, I feel like there is gold everywhere in the four southern provinces. Why do you think they are so big?"

"I also feel deeply about this. Li Shanchang is really far behind compared to the Prince Consort, and he is not even worthy of carrying the Prince Consort's shoes!"

"When the prince consort does something, everyone benefits in the end. When Li Shanchang does something, he gets the benefit all by himself, and we all suffer the consequences. Who can do it with him?"

The businessmen were talking a lot.

"Ahem, although the private rooms in heaven and earth are soundproof, don't talk too much. Li Shanchang is still a court official and the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty. He is definitely not something we can discuss. If someone is interested, your remarks will be brought to the capital. , Aren’t you causing trouble for the Prince Consort!” Mao Youde reminded: “At that time, others will definitely say that the Prince Consort told you to say this, and that would be a bad thing.”

After hearing this, several businessmen also quickly stopped talking.

Boss Zheng didn't take it seriously and said: "Boss Mao, I think you are too cautious. The one who dislikes the most and wants to attack the Prince Consort the most is the Huaixi Party headed by Li Shanchang. But the Prince Consort is now Its power is no weaker than that of the Huaixi Party!"

Mao Youde looked at Boss Zheng with some surprise, "Boss Zheng seems to know the Prince Consort very well!"

Boss Zheng smiled modestly, "I don't know much about the Prince Consort, but I have a friend who works in the Ministry of Household Affairs of the imperial court. We often communicate by letter. He told me that the Ming Dynasty is no longer a member of the Huaixi Party. A situation of dominance, and how powerful they can be!"

"The Prince Consort's Party led by the Prince Consort is one of the strongest among many!"

"Guo Zi, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Wu Jinzhi, who has been promoted to the Censor of the Imperial Court, are the right-hand men of the Prince Consort! One is in charge of the money bag of the Ming Dynasty, and the other has the power to supervise hundreds of officials. There are many people in the Prince Consort's party who hold important positions in the six departments of the imperial court. , in addition to Northern Zhili and the four southern provinces now also support the Prince Consort, as well as the now terrifyingly powerful Zongren Mansion. It is no exaggeration to say that the Prince Consort is already the most powerful official in the Ming Dynasty and the most powerful. The prince-in-law!"

"Do you think a person like the Prince Consort can be overthrown if he wants to?"

pop-

As Boss Zheng finished speaking, all the businessmen present applauded.

"What Boss Zheng said makes so much sense!"

"In my heart, the prince-in-law is capable of governing the country with his literary skills, and his military skills are able to stabilize the country. Looking at the Ming Dynasty, I will never find another person!"

"Besides, the Prince Consort is sincerely seeking the welfare of the people of Ming Dynasty, so we really shouldn't be afraid!"

"It's great to do things with the prince-in-law! It's not a loss of conscience to make money!"

"If anyone is harmful to the Prince Consort, we businessmen will be the first to refuse to agree."

Capital City, Imperial Palace, Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the news from Jin Yiwei and learned about the great changes in the four southern provinces in the past six months, with a happy smile on his face.

"It seems that it will take less than half a year for the four southern provinces to be completely restored!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with emotion.

Zhu Yuanzhang began to worry about the problems in the four southern provinces as soon as they emerged. Ouyang Lun's intervention could completely reverse the situation. It can be said that Ouyang Lun was a major contributor.

This contribution is no less than the founding of the country!
If Ouyang Lun was not the consort, it would not be an exaggeration to make him a duke based on these merits.

"I have to think about how to reward this boy."

Judging from the news from Jin Yiwei, the four southern provinces have completely recovered, and Ouyang Lun has completed his goal ahead of schedule. According to the current development speed, the four southern provinces will only develop better in half a year.

Now that this matter has become an established fact, then giving rewards based on merit is something that he, the emperor, should consider. After all, the people of the world and all civil and military officials are watching!
"Ji Gang, you said that Ouyang Lun has made great achievements this time, how should I reward him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ji Gang standing below and asked.

"Your Majesty, Prince Consort Ouyang deserves a reward for his great achievements. How should he be rewarded? The general will not dare to speak out."

Ji Gang quickly raised his hands and said.

Seeing that Ji Gang was unwilling to say anything, Zhu Yuanzhang did not continue to ask, but turned to look at Wang Zhong beside him, "Wang Zhong, what is your opinion?"

Wang Zhong said helplessly: "I don't know, but Ouyang Prince Consort's ability is obvious to all. If your Majesty can make good use of it, he will definitely bring our Ming Dynasty's national strength to a higher level!"

"You are all slippers." Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "In fact, according to my idea, let Ouyang Lun lead the army to conquer Beiyuan and completely eliminate the Beiyuan regime!"

"Your Majesty, this is a good idea!" Wang Zhong said.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, "No!"
