Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 589 Master, please don't cheat me! (Subscribe please!!)
"Damn it, making money in my name is simply an infringement of my rights!"

Ouyang Lun muttered.

"Zhou Bao! Zhou Bao!"

"Where did he die?!"

"Master, I'm here!" Zhou Bao ran in.

"Come here, master, I have something important to tell you!" Ouyang Lun waved at Zhou Bao.

"Okay!" Zhou Bao hurriedly walked closer and pricked up his ears.

Ouyang Lun came closer, "You go like this. Do this! Do you understand?"

"I understand." Zhou Bao nodded repeatedly, and asked with some doubt: "But master, will the method you said work? If no one pays for it, I will lose a lot of money!"

"You'll lose a lot of money? The cost of those things is terribly low, how much can you lose?" Ouyang Lun said unhappily.

"Then why don't you invest and do it yourself, sir?" Zhou Bao asked.

"You are asking even though you already know the answer! I am rich, but all the money is in the hands of your mistresses! If you ask them for money, they will ask you all sorts of questions. If you are asked to go out and do something, that is a way for you to make money!"

Ouyang Lun kicked Zhou Bao.

"Master, I remember you seemed to have a secret stash of funds!" Zhou Bao whispered.

"The money in my small treasury is for emergencies, so don't use it carelessly. If I lose money this time, it's not easy for me to save some private money!" Ouyang Lun glared at Zhou Bao and continued, "If we make money, excluding your capital, we will split it 190%. I'm not bad to you, right?"

"I'm the one who paid the money and worked hard. If there's a loss, it's my fault. If there's a profit, I only get 10%." At this point, Zhou Bao looked at Ouyang Lun pitifully, "Master, you're so good to me!"

"Ahem. Stop talking nonsense. I just want to ask you one question. Are you going to do it? If you don't want to do it, I will find someone else. There are plenty of people who will do it!" Ouyang Lun urged.

"Yes, of course I did. I didn't say I wouldn't do it!" Zhou Bao nodded. "Master, please don't cheat me! I'm going to use this money to find a wife."

"Looking for a wife? You're looking for a wife again? Are you a breeding pig?" Ouyang Lun said angrily, "Zhou Bao, you've already married five wives, right? You have almost ten boys alone, what are you doing? I almost recognized the wrong child last time!"

"Hehe, sir, our clan house is not prosperous. I will give birth to a few more children, and they will all serve you in the future. Children born at home are reliable!" Zhou Bao said seriously: "I don't have much ability, so I can't help you with other things. I can only do my part in this way!"

"I'm really thanking you!" Ouyang Lun rolled his eyes.

"Forget it, I don't want to talk to you about this. Go and help me with the things I arranged for you! Go now!"

"Yes, Master!" Zhou Bao nodded repeatedly, then turned and left. However, after taking two steps, Zhou Bao turned back and said, "Master, if I fail this time, Qian Xiao doesn't mind, but you must not let your children starve to death!"

"Get out!" Ouyang Lun said unhappily.

"Okay!" Zhou Bao nodded.

Just when everyone was rushing to take Ouyang Lun's longevity tablet home to worship, a shop suddenly appeared.

"Come and take a look, the statue and portrait of Prince Consort Ouyang are the best choices to take back and worship!!"

As soon as they heard that it was something related to Ouyang Lun, people immediately gathered around.

"Boss, are your statues and portraits effective?"

"Look at what you said. Our store is the only official store authorized by the Prince Consort. Every statue and portrait has the Prince Consort's signature and seal!" The store owner pointed to the signature and seal on the portrait in his hand and said, "Look. This is the Prince Consort's signature and impression. I want to ask you, where can you buy these?"

Upon hearing this, more and more people gathered around, and became more and more interested in the statues and portraits in the hands of the shop owner.

"Boss, is this signature and seal really the Prince Consort's? I'm afraid they are fake, right?"

Someone in the crowd raised another question.

The others once again looked at the shop owner with suspicion.

"I knew you would have such an idea!"

The shop owner seemed to have expected this, "Since you don't believe it, you can come in with me and I'll show you the evidence!"

With that, the shop owner decisively turned around and walked into the shop.

"Let's go and take a look."

"I want to see what evidence he has!"

"I am coming too!"

At once, many people entered the store.

When the people around saw so many people pushing into the store, they subconsciously followed suit.

When the people entered the store, they found that the store was even bigger than they imagined! !
There are all kinds of things on display in the store, from small peripherals full of Ouyang Lun elements, such as fans with poems "written" by Ouyang Lun, the same brush as Ouyang Lun, etc. In addition, there are statues and portraits of Ouyang Lun of different sizes!
In short, there are many varieties and they are extremely rich!
"Wow! I didn't expect there were so many good things in here!"

"Oh my god! There is a complete copy of Journey to the West here, and it's a collector's edition!!"

"I have been looking for this collection of Ouyang Lun's poems for a long time. It even has the signature of the Prince Consort!!"

After seeing these goods, people's eyes lit up.

At this time, the shop owner came to the crowd again, pointed to a plaque covered by a red cloth and said, "Everyone, this is the evidence I told you about!"

After saying that, the shop owner immediately removed the red cloth.

The next second, the people could clearly see the contents on the plaque.

My fan merchandise store——Signed by——Ouyang Lun!

"This is the calligraphy that the Prince Consort personally wrote for the store! Now there is no need to question it anymore!
"Our store mainly sells products related to the Prince Consort, such as peripherals, souvenirs, or portraits, sculptures, etc."

The shop owner took this opportunity to loudly introduce the shop, "In addition to the first floor, we also have the second and third floors, with more abundant merchandise. If you are interested, you can go to the second and third floors to have a look!"

"Today is the first day of our store opening. We are offering 20% ​​off on all items. In addition, customers who shop in our store today will receive a signed card from the Prince Consort!!"

"Everyone is welcome to buy!"

As the shop owner finished speaking.

The people, who could no longer wait, immediately started shopping. "I want a portrait and a signed collection of poems!"

"I want a statue, the biggest one!!"

"Give me one copy of everything in the entire store!!"

North Zhili.

On the construction site of the Peking Railway.

The workers were sitting around taking a break.

A worker who could read was holding the People's Daily and reading the contents of the newspaper to other workers.

"In an interview with our reporter today, Ouyang Lun, the imperial consort and chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, said that workers, like farmers, are the most important existence in the Ming Dynasty. Next, the court will speed up the construction of the worker team, improve the classification of workers' occupational levels and protect workers' rights and interests as soon as possible!"

“Workers’ wages must be guaranteed. Anyone who dares to embezzle workers’ money or fails to pay them on time is committing a crime!!”

"."

After hearing this, the workers were all very excited, their eyes full of anticipation.

"Look, I've said it before, Prince Consort Ouyang can't change his mind, he's always been thinking about us!"

"Now that we have security, we no longer have to worry about where we'll have our next meal, and we can work peacefully!"

"If you improve your worker level, your benefits will improve and you will earn more and more money!"

"The idea that Prince Consort came up with is really great!"

"It seems that we have really wronged the Prince Consort before. The Prince Consort is the only one who can really get things done!"

"Haha, we can hold our chests high from now on."

"I have to re-enshrine the Prince Consort's longevity tablet."

"Who still worships the longevity tablet now? Everyone goes to the Prince Consort's fan shop to buy Prince Consort's peripherals, or maybe a portrait or sculpture to worship at home. I heard it's more effective!"

"Really? Then I have to give it a try when I get back!"

The workers had happy smiles on their faces and were filled with laughter.

Qi Tai happened to pass by, and naturally he heard every word of the workers' conversation. At this moment, Qi Tai's face looked quite ugly.

Early this morning, he received the imperial court's appointment, Li Shanchang's secret letter, and the transfer order from the project department.

Now he is the assistant minister of the project department, and a powerful one at that. It can be said that in terms of official position alone, he is now second only to Ouyang Lun in the project department. When the project department was being planned and established, many officials were transferred from various departments, including assistant ministers of various departments. However, those who were originally assistant ministers were demoted when they entered the project department and became the persons in charge of certain aspects.

Only the Minister of Works Shan Anren personally joined the project department as a minister, but he was also demoted to the vice minister of the project department.

That is to say, except for the person in charge Ouyang Lun, the highest-ranking officials in the entire project department are Qi Tai and Shan Anren!
At the same time, he also knew the result of the meeting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which disappointed Qi Tai very much, because it did not meet his expectations at all. You know, he had made great efforts for that meeting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony!
The purpose was to overthrow Ouyang Lun, but unfortunately, he failed.
The night he learned the news, Qi Tai got drunk and smashed everything he could in the room.

Later, he received a secret letter from Li Shanchang. Li Shanchang knew that Qi Tai would be very disappointed, so he tried his best to comfort him in the secret letter, which made Qi Tai calm down a lot. At the same time, he also gave Qi Tai a new task. Now he, Qi Tai, was responsible for the construction of the railway from Peiping to Beijing, while Shan Anren was responsible for the construction of the railway from Beijing to Peiping.

This decision was made by Ouyang Lun, and the meaning was very clear, that is, to let Qi Tai and Shan Anren compete.

In a word, the design is done, the supply chain is arranged, and even the workers are appeased. Now Qi Tai and Shan Anren are responsible for one end each, and they will repair it together! Who repairs it well and who repairs it poorly will be clearly judged immediately after comparison.

Li Shanchang, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng had no objection to Ouyang Lun's arrangement. They were all eager to compete!
Li Shanchang also said in the secret letter to Qi Tai that the most important thing for Qi Tai now is to complete the repair of the railway section in Peking and let the emperor, the emperor emeritus and the people of the world see the strength of their Huaixi Party.

Qi Tai finally rekindled his fighting spirit after being comforted by Li Shanchang's secret letter. However, when he heard that the workers below no longer criticized or questioned Ouyang Lun, but instead admired and respected him even more, he felt mixed emotions.

You must know that before the workers' grading system and rights protection system came out, Qi Taicai was a good official in the eyes of the workers and was highly respected by the workers. But in the blink of an eye, the enthusiasm for him plummeted, while Ouyang Lun became popular again.

He, Qi Tai, has become an invisible figure again.

Qi Tai couldn't figure out what went wrong and how Ouyang Lun was better than him!

Thinking of this, Qi Tai's face became more and more ugly, and his fists were clenched, as if he would explode and hurt someone at any time.

At this time, an attendant beside him hurriedly reminded him, "Sir, the old prime minister has reminded us that this is an extraordinary period and no one can ruin the plan of the Beijing-Ping Railway. Currently, the Beijing-Ping Railway is still in charge of Ouyang Lun. We argued with him like that last time, and there is no guarantee that he will not fight back. We must be more careful at this time and must not let Ouyang Lun find his flaws. If you are pulled out by Ouyang Lun, it will be the biggest loss for our Huaixi Party."

After hearing what his follower said, Qi Tai's mind suddenly calmed down a lot.

call--

Take a deep breath.

Qi Tai then said, "Don't worry, since the arena has been set up, I, Qi Tai, will definitely not lose!"

"Come on, we should also plan what to do next!"

"Once I defeat Shan Anren, I will definitely stand in front of Ouyang Lun and defeat him fairly!!"

After saying that, Qi Tai left with his men.

And on the other side is Yong County.

Yong County is close to the capital, and because of its good geographical location, it is also chosen as the first county after the Beijing-Pingcheng Railway departs from the capital.

Currently, the temporary office of the southern construction site of the Beijing-Pinggu Railway Project is set up here.

Now there are a lot of people standing outside the office, they are all workers who come to register.

At this moment they were not here to protest or make trouble, but were queuing up obediently, preparing to register.

Worker registration.

This is the first step in the worker classification system.

All Ming Dynasty citizens who are between eighteen and fifty years old, regardless of gender, can register as workers at the Ministry of Works. After formal registration, they will automatically become trainee workers and will also be issued a worker professional certificate.

Trainee workers cannot go to the construction site to work directly. They have to complete three days of safety training and learn basic worker knowledge. After completion, they can get the official stamp of approval and then they can go to the construction site or workshop to work.

After that, workers can improve their worker registration by learning various skills and increasing their years of work. Once workers upgrade their level to senior workers, they can receive subsidies from the government.
