The road to the emperor begins with farming

The more developed the State-owned Ministry, the more Luo Yu felt that there were not enough people.Thinking that after all the soldiers returned, he would have to recruit workers again, so Luo Yu did a very unkind thing, that is, poaching the corners of the military department.

Afterwards, Luo Yu asked He Weixi to observe them from time to time, and picked those who were smart, studious, clever, and interested in these aspects, and left them to teach skills.Of the thousand soldiers, there were only [-] left when they returned, and the remaining [-] were intercepted by Luo Yu and became the backbone of the Ministry of State.

After saving a lot of raw materials and more than a dozen construction teams were able to work independently, Luo Yu planned to start working to make money.Before we start, we have to advertise.But now it's a seller's market, the so-called publicity is to send a notice.

Emperor Hongyou was in charge of the affairs above the court, and Luo Yu sent out a wave of leaflets in Qinyuan again, feeling that it was almost done.

Emperor Hongyou was not very embarrassed at first, thinking what it would be like to say this in the court.But when he thought about what Luo Yu said, if he made [-]% of the money, he would get [-]% of the money, and if he didn't make any money, he would get nothing. This was also his business, so he reluctantly agreed.

After all the important matters were dealt with in the morning, Emperor Hongyou coughed, and then said: "The Ministry of State-owned Assets has opened. Anyone who wants to install heating, glass windows, cement floors or tiles at home can register with King Rui. Uh, First come, first served."

Luo Yu didn't go to court, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to listen to courtiers sparring in court.So when everyone heard this, they asked Emperor Hongyou, "Where can I find King Rui? Could it be Yuhua Palace?"

Emperor Hongyou said: "The Ministry of State-owned Assets has an office outside Dongchangmen, just go there and look for it."

Emperor Hongyou announced the disbandment of the court, and saw that many courtiers stopped chatting with each other, and no one came to him to discuss state affairs, and they all walked out in a hurry.

What everyone thought was: Oh, it's finally their turn.

Now the floor of the house is covered with blue bricks, which is flat and smooth, which is better than tiles; there is also glass, which is warm and bright when placed on the windows, which is much better than mulberry paper.Seeing the bright and clean windows and the smooth and clean ground of the current imperial palace, they are very envious, but it is a pity that those workshops are not for sale.

At this time, where there is still leisurely chatting, it is serious to ask Rui Wang to help him install the heating and laying tiles in his home.

After leaving Beizhimen, their respective coachmen are waiting for their lord.Some people went home directly, and then sent another person to Dongchangmen;

Although Luo Yu's factory is outside the city, it is still convenient to contact the business in the city, so he called him the emperor's father and specially approved one as an office location.

At this time, all the people around the registration office were servants from the court official's family. Huang Xiaomao, the person in charge of the registration, was dumbfounded. There were name cards in front of him, and various voices came from his ears from time to time:

"I belong to Mr. Yang, the left counselor of the General Administration Department. I came first, so register for me first."

"Nonsense, obviously I came first. My lord is the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. This is your lord's name card. Register for me first."

"Let's all give in, let's all give in, my lord is the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, please register for me first."

"Why, is it bigger than an official position? My lord is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he is the immediate superior of your lord servant. You put me in the back."

"My lord is the Zuo Dudu of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. My lord has the highest official position. Please register for me first."

……

Just in time for Luo Yu to come over to see the situation here, he slapped the table angrily, and said loudly: "I'm King Rui, who the hell is not as big as I am, so everyone queues up for me! First come, first served, whoever dares to squeeze the other's house I won’t accept the business.”

As soon as everyone heard this, they all rushed to line up, fearing that Luo Yu would be upset, and they would not be able to explain it when they went back.

Huang Xiaomao, who was in charge of the registration, quickly picked up the pen and recorded them one by one.

Standing next to Huang Xiaomao is Song Ping, the guy in charge of publicity. He stood on a chair and said loudly: "The construction team of our Ministry of State-owned Assets belongs to after-sales service, that is to say, the construction team is free to help with the installation. If you don't need the construction team, you can Don’t participate in the queue, just buy what you need and install it yourself, and the Ministry of State-owned Assets can send a skilled craftsman to guide you.” It means that whether you use the construction team or not, the price of the things you buy is the same.

When everyone heard it, it was still cost-effective to use the construction team, and to do it by themselves, the quality was not guaranteed, and they queued up.

Song Ping continued: "The State-owned Ministry has twelve construction teams, and eight of them will come to install according to the order of registration. However, if there are urgent customers, it is not impossible to let the construction team go early if you don't want to queue up. If the department charges a 50.00% service fee, you don’t need to queue. Of course, for the sake of fairness, these customers who do not participate in the queue use another four construction teams.”

For Luo Yu to come up with such a bad idea, it can be said that he is a very treacherous profiteer.

Because the people who came to line up were all the servants and servants of various families, they couldn't be the master, and there was no phone at this time, so they had to register first, and when they got back, they asked their adults whether they should line up in order or install it first after adding money.

What Luo Yu didn't say here was that two of the eight construction teams had to be divided to take over business from merchants, so this team had to wait in line.

The construction team took the order and began to install each house. The area and requirements of each house are different, and the speed of installation is also different.At first, everyone didn't want to waste money, so they lined up honestly. Later, when they saw the list, they would be waiting until the Chinese New Year. Finally, some people became anxious, especially those who were not short of money, and began to add money to let Luo Yu decorate their own homes first.The Ministry of State-owned Assets also began to make a lot of money.

After straightening out the renovation project in the capital, Luo Yu set his sights outside again.There are many nobles in the capital, but there are also many rich people in other prefectures.Now many merchants from other places have heard that the capital is doing renovations, and they come here to buy things and sell them back, and learn how to install them from skilled craftsmen.

Seeing that the people borrowed from the Ministry of War were going to be returned, Luo Yu began to recruit people on a large scale and train talents and technicians.Among the people he recruited, in addition to some young and strong laborers, he also recruited some beggars and idlers, not to steal and play tricks, but it solved the employment problem of some people.

The recruitment notice was posted, and it also attracted many children.There are no child laborers these days, and poor families will sell their children. If Luo Yu hires them, it will be considered a burden for their families.In the end, he took some children in their eighties and nineties, asked them to do some light work, provided three meals, and gave them a few pennies a day.

Because the cement technology is simple and the cost is low, Luo Yu trained some people to open workshops in Fucheng and recruit local workers.This not only earns money, but also solves many employment problems.As for the other two factories, we have to wait until the conditions are ripe before opening branches.

After finishing all these tasks, Luo Yu can finally take a breath and leave the rest to He Weixi. He has to hurry up and pursue Luo Zhan.

Since the last misunderstanding, Luo Yu has approached Luo Zhan several times.But Luo Zhan either avoided him, or had an expression that I always regarded you as my younger brother and I didn't know what you were talking about, making Luo Yu's teeth itch with anger.

It's just that Luo Yu was really busy at that time, and the time he could spare was limited.Now that everything is finally on the right track for the time being, he has timed himself out and is ready to scale up his moves.

Luo Yu went back to Qinyuan first, packed a few dishes, boiled fish, boiled beef, saliva chicken, etc. Luo Changling liked to eat, bought two inkstones for his father, and then returned to Luofu.

Without seeing Luo Zhan, Luo Yu planned to save the country in a curve.It just so happens that the days are always busy, and he hasn't seen his father for a long time.

When the butler of Luo Mansion saw him coming back, he immediately went to report happily, "Master, the second young master is back to see you."

Luo Changling reprimanded: "What second young master, it's His Royal Highness King Rui."

It happened that Luo Yu also entered the door, and said with a smile: "My son is the second young master, so he is not your highness." He greeted Luo Changling respectfully.

Luo Changling was very happy to see that although Luo Yu was recognized by Emperor Hongyou, he did not have a relationship with him. This son really did not hurt for nothing.Just looking at his son who had lost a lot of weight, he frowned and said, "It's been a long time since I saw you, why did you lose so much weight? But didn't you eat well?"

Luo Yu immediately felt wronged, and said in his heart that it wasn't your eldest son who tormented me and pretended to be confused with me, but I was making people haggard because of Yi Xiao.

But the words can't be said that way, so Luo Yu hugged Luo Changling's arms like twisted hips, "Daddy, I didn't eat well, and I didn't have time to eat at all. You don't know my emperor's father, but he is so energetic." Call your son."

Luo Changling scolded with a smile: "What kind of emperor's father, where did you learn it, be careful not to be heard by His Majesty and beat you up."

Luo Yu snorted twice, and continued: "Not only did he order your son to work, but he also refused to pay the money, and the son had to go to the household department to ask for it..."

Luo Yu arranged the arrangement for Emperor Hongyou again, and poured out his bitterness.It's complaining, but it's actually acting like a baby with Luo Changling.Although his real age is fifteen and his mental age is over 20, he used to act like a baby with his grandma when he was at home, and his grandma liked it very much.In Luo Yu's words, this is called Caiyi entertaining relatives, so there is no shame in it.

On the contrary, Luo Changling felt distressed when he heard it, and kept saying, "Then daddy, go and tell His Majesty that we quit. Yu'er lives at home and can do whatever he wants, and let His Majesty ask someone else to take care of it."

Although Luo Yu was not born by Luo Changling, he raised him.Luo Changling felt sorry for his insufficiency, since he had no parents since he was a child, he loved him very much, and spent countless efforts on him, which was more than Luo Zhan and Luo Yanran.

Even now, although Luo Yu has returned to normal, he can't help but think that Luo Yu is still the little fool from before, hugging his neck and arching into his arms, so even if Luo Yu is still acting like a baby with him now, he still I didn't feel any violation, it's really a long-term result.

"Daddy still loves me." Although Luo Yu complained, his intention was to make Luo Changling feel sorry for him.The more his father loves him, the greater the chance of a successful showdown in the future, "But the man has ambitions everywhere, how can I give up the pick because of a little hardship, wouldn't it be a disappointment to my father's high expectations for me."

Luo Changling smiled and said, "Daddy is satisfied as long as Yu'er lives happily."
