Chapter 1510 Get Out
"In extraordinary times, we have no choice but to resort to radical measures. Do you want to catch up, Master You?"
You Rongzhi naturally thought about it, and thought about it very much.
"If you follow my method, we will definitely catch up with the progress and get paid in four months. If you can't do it, I will go and apologize to the king." He Lingchuan vowed, and then changed the subject, "Otherwise, this project will definitely not be completed, and I will resign now."
This big project has already started, and it has been announced to the whole country and the whole city. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. He Lingchuan, as a consultant, can run away, but You Rongzhi, as the head coach, cannot run away.
After three "definitelys", You Rongzhi could only ask him:
"When will the meeting begin?"
"Time waits for no one. Let's do it tonight."
The sun is setting.
"Now?" You Rongzhi immediately stood up, "Wait for me to go to the palace."
He has to ask the King of Yao for instructions.
He stayed in the palace for more than an hour.
At 11 pm that evening, the Tianshui City expansion project suddenly called everyone together for a discussion.
It was pouring rain again, and officials of all ranks gathered in the rain, their official uniforms soaked. Some of them smelled of alcohol, while others looked sleepy and yawned.
"Lord You, what's the big deal?" Except for wars and natural disasters, officials rarely hold meetings overnight.
You Rongzhi looked at them, sighed secretly, and said seriously: "I just came out of the palace. The king is very dissatisfied with the progress of the capital's eastward expansion."
Huang Shilu, the son-in-law of the Gu family, said, "The expansion of the capital to the east will benefit future generations, and the king is right to blame. But the project is huge and there are many things to coordinate, so there are indeed difficulties on site. For example, Lord Xu has been supervising the materials and has not been home for five days. Lord You, you haven't slept for two days, right?"
The officials all said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord You!"
"Construction is indeed a little slow. We must be more diligent and share the worries for the Lord and You."
"That's right, that's right. We will strictly control the progress starting tomorrow."
"..."
You Rongzhi was very familiar with the words of these subordinates, and also knew what they were thinking. He turned to look at He Lingchuan and said, "Island Master He, come here."
He Lingchuan had been watching coldly without saying a word, but upon hearing the noise, he grabbed a thick booklet and threw it on the table.
There was a loud bang, which startled everyone.
"Qi Shuhuan, you are responsible for the demolition of the old house in Pan Tugou and the transportation of stones. It should have been completed three days ago, but until today, only 50 cubic meters of stones have been transported, not even 10% of the task requirement has been met."
The stage is set up, and he will play the villain.
Qi Shuhuan didn't expect to be named, and he uttered an "ah" before explaining: "This is because it has been raining for several days, the village roads are wet, and the stone-carrying trucks will get stuck in the mud..."
"It's all stone ground there. The real dirt road is less than five meters long. It can be transported by paving with stone slabs." He Lingchuan said lightly, "In the past seven days, you have spent a total of five hours on the scene, and four times as long in the wine shops, teahouses and Hongguanfang in the city."
Not to mention Qi Shuhuan who was stunned, the other officials also looked surprised and felt a chill in their hearts.
He Xiao also tracked their personal whereabouts?
Yes, the king assigned him a guard team of more than 900 people, so he now has plenty of manpower.
Qi Shuhuan was about to speak, but He Lingchuan pointed his chin towards the door and said, "You are incompetent. You don't need to do this job. Go away."
His tone left no room for doubt. Qi Shuhuan was shocked: "What? I, I was...Master You! What's going on?!"
The man named He is just a governor of the upper council, a powerless and idle person who only talks big. What right do you have to ask him to get out?
He Xiao was so direct that You Rongzhi was also overwhelmed, but he was already put in this position, so he could only cough and said, "There are personnel changes tonight, and my king has approved it."
Qi Shuhuan said with a bitter face: "Master You, Your Majesty..."
He Lingchuan interrupted him and pointed to the door: "Go quickly."
Qi Shuhuan said quickly: "I know I was wrong. I will work hard in the future and will never be lazy again..."
He Lingchuan remained unmoved, showing his coldness and ruthlessness: "It's useless to beg for mercy, don't waste your time."
Qi Shuhuan looked at him and then at You Rongzhi, realizing that it was irreversible, so he had to leave, looking back every few steps.
The Qi family spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to get a position in the capital's eastward expansion project. He was kicked out after only seven days. When his brother heard about it, he would definitely scold him to death!
He Lingchuan didn't even look at him. He flipped through the booklet on the table and read out seven or eight names. They were all people who were incompetent, derelict in their duties, and one of them had even started accepting bribes.
Needless to say, everyone left.
He Lingchuan didn't listen to the reason and just told him to get out. The one who took the bribe was so angry that he pointed at his nose and cursed: "He, you are just a governor, what qualifications do you have to boss us around?"
The officialdom is about order and hierarchy. How dare this guy, who doesn't even have a title, give orders here?
After he said this, everyone looked not at He Lingchuan, but at You Rongzhi.
The head coach of the project is here, and You Rongzhi is the one who has the final say.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, You Rongzhi coughed lightly and said, "Earlier, Island Master He and I were summoned by the king, and then we came here together."
The emphasis is on “together”.
What does it mean?
He Lingchuan's actions were approved by the king.
When entering the palace earlier, King Yao was also very surprised when he heard He Lingchuan's request.
This guy is here to ask for power.
But on the other hand, the King of Yao knows best what the atmosphere is like in the Yao court and what kind of morals the officials generally have. Since He Xiao boasted that he could turn the situation around and build the city efficiently, why not give it a try?
Anyway, he has no official title and little money, so why are we afraid that he will cause trouble?
You Rongzhi added: "Congratulations to the island master for just receiving an award, the third-class silver medal of Lixiang."
Everyone was shocked.
The Lixiang Medal is a medal bestowed by Yao State on foreigners. There are five grades in total, and each grade is divided into three levels. Don't look at He Xiao only getting the third grade. In fact, the first grade is awarded to foreign monarchs and leaders of foreign forces, the fourth grade is for soldiers, and the fifth grade is for businessmen.
As a foreign businessman, He Xiao was able to receive the third-class Pear Fragrance Medal, which shows that King Yao highly recognizes him.
It just happened to be awarded tonight, which would just give him more halo and support.
So He Lingchuan was very confident now. He snapped his fingers and pointed at the official who took the bribe: "Come here, take him away!"
This guy was taken away directly by the palace runners sent by the Chief Justice.
After this show of authority, the atmosphere in the conference room changed. The sleepiness on everyone's face disappeared, and everyone looked so solemn that they seemed to be dripping with water.
Is your Majesty serious?
He Lingchuan then read out another name, which was the Lord Xu mentioned earlier.
Lord Xu's face changed. In the past seven days, he had spent five days at the construction site and didn't even go home. Wasn't the other party satisfied?
He also had a temper, and was about to lash out when he heard You Rongzhi say with a smile, "Lord Xu has been working day and night, diligently and hard, and you can
"The king ordered that he be promoted to deputy supervisor of craftsmen."
