Fan Zhi also knew that what Ye Hua did was good for the Great Zhou, but as the prime minister, his job was to be civil affairs, economics, and civil engineering, all of which should be his power and should not be taken away by others, especially without permission.

But Fan Zhi was helpless. He had worked with Ye Hua to build an outer city and re-deploy the canal transportation. He worked very hard, but at the last moment, Ye Hua took out the cement and the method of rinsing the sand, and took away all the scenery.

Everyone knows that the champion Hou is capable, and their writing is just a corpse and a simplified meal.

It feels bad to be looked down upon, at least Fan Zhi can't stand it.

But there are more and more such things. When Kaifeng is rebuilt, Ye Hua is the leader. It is strange that Lao Fan is happy. He is still quite enlightened and allocated at least 50,000 stones of grain.

Ye Hua smiled at Fan Zhi, "That husband Fan, I mean that you need to use a lot of cement, steel bars, bricks, tile and wood to build a city, and the quantity is very large."

Fan Zhi became alert, "Do you want the court to help you out?"

"How can I do it! How dare I think so!" Ye Hua smiled and said, "As a minister, how can I take advantage of the court? I just hope the court can give some symbolic support."

Fan Zhi lowered his eyelids, his eyes kept turning in his circles. After a while, he muffled, "Speak straight, what do you want?"

"duty free!"

"Tax-free?" Fan Zhi suspected that his ears were broken.

"That's right, it's tax exemption!" Ye Hua smiled and said, "I want to purchase supplies from the workshop. The workshop should speed up production to meet the needs. If the court can exempt the taxes at this time, the workshop will have a lighter burden, and there will be more funds to expand the scale, produce more building materials, and meet the needs of building a city..." Ye Hua said a lot of benefits and finally concluded: "Mr. Fan, this is a win-win situation. I think the Political Affairs Hall should not focus on that little bit of tax revenue. The prime minister should reconcile the yin and yang, assist the emperor, and the officials below. They should use economic means to adjust. I don't know what Fan Xianggong's wishes?"

Faced with Ye Hua's many remarks, Fan Zhi savored the taste. It really made some sense, "It's important, I want to discuss with the envoy of the three officials, Li Xianggong."

"No problem, I'm waiting for good news from Xianggong Fan. By the way, I'll transport the 50,000 stone of grain away now!"

Ye Hua is like a fox who stole a chicken.

He only wanted one tax exemption, but Fan Zhi actually vomited blood and gave it to him. It was rare, it was really rare!

The people from the Political Affairs Hall hate Ye Hua more and more. It is becoming increasingly difficult to take advantage of them. You can get a little bit of it, but when you can't get it, you will find a way.

Ye Hua's head turned quickly... He issued the order to recruit workers. In less than three days, ten thousand victims came to sign up. They had no requirements, as long as they could have a full meal.

Regardless of whether it is Kaifeng or other places, when encountering a disaster year, the biggest requirement for refugees is to eat, and it is luck to not starve to death.

Fan Zhi also thought so, so he felt that Ye Hua was here to ask for food.

But in fact, this is not the case at all. Ye Hua told the victims that he would give wages, ordinary labor, 300 yuan a month, bricklayers, carpenters, blacksmiths, veterinarians, etc., and the starting work is 1 guan, but the upper limit is not covered.

It’s not just a waste of work, I have money to get it!

Everyone was excited and wanted to kneel down to thank the Marquis for his kindness.

Of course Ye Hua is not a living Bodhisattva. His next words will make everyone cool.

The court would pay to rebuild the houses, but everyone would have to pay some money to buy them... In other words, the wages they earned had to be used to buy houses.

Although I gave a good discount, everyone was also thinking about whether it was enough!

Each of them looked sad and sad.

"See, this is Ye Hua's virtue!" Wei Renpu snorted and said bluntly: "Take off your pants and fart it, this is a waste of time!"

Fan Zhi frowned and said, "It has always been a practice to use disaster victims to work, only give food, not money, this is a practice! Ye Hua was unconventional. The disaster victims' houses were damaged, and the court helped rebuild them and distributed them to the victims. It was a virtue, but Ye Hua wanted to collect money again, which made people feel cold. What did he want to do?"

"What else can you do? Just a trick of fickleness!" Wei Renpu said angrily: "Mr. Fan, you shouldn't have agreed to him at the beginning!"

Fan Zhi spread his hands, "I don't want to agree, but King Jin has helped Ye Hua speak, so what can I do?"

They complained to each other and were very confused about Ye Hua's various actions.

Although Li Gu also hated Ye Hua, Li Xianggong benefited a lot when he went to the countryside together. In addition, as the Sansi Envoy, Li Gu was much better at economic affairs than Fan Zhi and Wei Renpu.

"Don't rush to scold people, I see there is a big article here!"

Wei Renpu squinted his eyes and said, "What article, tell me!"

Li Gu said embarrassedly: "Didn't I figure it out!"

"I didn't understand it, but I didn't! You were given ** soup by Ye Hua!"

Li Gu silently said. He felt that even if he hated someone, he could not deny it completely. The more he hated him, the more he had to think about it carefully, look at his cleverness and learn from his strengths and weaknesses.

So Xianggong Li decided not to waste spit, but instead put on a cloth clothes, ran to the construction site, and inquire about it personally.

Li Gu ran for ten days in a row, and when he returned to the Political Affairs Hall again, he was different.

The skin on his face was dark, his hands were rough, and he was bent against his old waist.

"I said to Mr. Li, aren't you going to Fanzi Hutong?" Wei Renpu helped Li Gu sit down.

It is rare that Wang Pu is here too. Several of his husbands gathered together and came to a three-party trial.

Li Gu sighed: "We really have to do everything by myself. I went to the construction site, carried bricks and wood, and chatted with the civilians. What do you think? Ye Hua's method is amazing!"

After going there for ten days, he changed his attitude. Mr. Li rebelled too quickly.

Wei Renpu turned his head and gave him only one back of his head.

Li Gu didn't care and continued to talk about what he saw and heard, and he became more and more flirted... According to Ye Hua's design, after completion, the cheapest house will be sold for 30 guan. The original owner only needs to pay 10 guan to get it. These 10 guan can be paid in installments, with a down payment of 3 guan.

A civil servant can get 3 guan in ten months for 300 guan, which means that he can own his own house.

After listening to Li Gu's introduction, Wei Renpu gave them the word "naive"!

If the money is given to the civil servants, they can save money honestly? Do they not eat or drink? What if they can’t afford the money at that time?

Isn’t it still a cheating common people?

"Hahaha, Mr. Wei, you mean that you only see the trees but not the forest! Do you think all the civil servants will do this? I tell you that there are more civil servants who are desperately trying to buy houses, so they will choose to work overtime!"

"Working overtime?" Wei Renpu asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's just overtime!" Li Gu said: "As I saw with my own eyes, many civilians never stop from morning to night, not only young and strong, but even women came. They leveled the land and planted plants and trees, which was no worse than men!"

Fan Zhi was shocked, "Why, men and women work together on the construction site?"

"Yes, because of this, the progress has been much faster."

Fan Zhi's face looked ugly. The male lead was the outside, the female lead was the inside, the male farming and the female weaving. These were thousands of years of rules, but Ye Hua was messed up. This kid was born to cause trouble!

Should I come forward to ask for a resignation and stop Ye Hua's behavior?

Fan Zhi thought about it, but Li Gu continued to talk loudly, "I tell you, in addition to overtime, there are many civil servants who choose to learn skills!"

"What's the meaning?"

"Just learn to be a bricklayer, a carpenter!" Li Gu smiled and said, "As a craftsman, he earns a lot of money in a month, which is more than three times that of an ordinary worker. I have seen many civilians who would rather be an apprentice for half a year than a little money than to learn craftsmanship. Even the worst craftsman can earn ten months in three months... Let me tell you, when the city construction is over, there will be thousands more craftsmen in Kaifeng!"

Li Gu sighed: "With a skill, you won't be hungry. Among the victims, many poor people are poor people without tiles covering their bodies, so they can only work hard. In the past, they had no chance and no one was willing to teach. Now, for such a big project, there is a huge gap between craftsmen and houses, they will not be able to learn it without learning! They all have their lives, and their enthusiasm is not comparable to those of forced levies."

These are all talented people. After listening to Li Gu's introduction, the more they think about it, the more they feel that they are really well-informed!

Wei Renpu narrowed his eyes, grabbed his beard, and thought for a while. He figured it out that Ye Hua used wages as a driving force, houses as bait, coercion and temptation, forcing the people to make efforts to make progress, learn skills, and increase their abilities!

In the past, the imperial court forced the recruitment of civilians, and the good and bad things were the same. It helped to rebuild the house, which means it was difficult to stimulate ordinary people.

But Ye Hua's approach was different. He made most people move, and it was from the heart!

Of course, there are also some people who are lazy, unwilling to save money, nor willing to learn skills. They are destined to not get a house... But Wei Renpu has nothing to sympathize with these people. If you give it to you, you deserve it.

"It's such a big deal! The boy named Ye played with everyone in applause. It's amazing, really amazing!"

Li Gu smiled and said, "It's not just that. You haven't seen through it yet. There is still knowledge here!"

"Oh, tell me!"

Before he knew it, the couple's husbands changed their expressions. Li Gu looked arrogant and pointed to his tea cup. Wei Renpu pinched his nose and filled him with a cup of tea.

Li Gu took it, moistened his throat, and said with satisfaction: "Champion Hou used money to determine the price this time. The original owner had a discount when allocating the house, but others didn't!"

...

"This is the pricing power!"

Ye Hua was very satisfied with his plan. He had already planned to build half of the extra land in houses and released them in batches. Each house can make 70% more profit. What a piece of fat this is!
