: Lord of the Common People Chapter 435: Neizhou's Feelings (asking for monthly votes) (..) "Ya, cha cha cha cha, everyone dance, don't be shy, don't be shy! Ya, cha cha cha cha, it's not fashionable for you to learn rumba, and it's not romantic for you to learn samba..."
"I Love Cha Cha Cha" is a very addictive song in Proud Wanderer. After listening to it, it is easy to form an endless loop in your mind.
Liao Zihui particularly liked this song today. He sang and danced in the office for the whole afternoon and did not feel tired at all.
Because the person who did the inspection left today, and the balancer also left.
Ling Sujun entered the office and said, "General Envoy, the Wuqinxiang Border Defense Envoy Liu Guocai is here."
Liao Zihui quickly sat back at his desk in the office and nodded, "Let him in."
Liu Guocai came and apologized to Liao Zihui again for what happened before.
Liao Zihui waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Guocai, it's all over, why are you still bringing this up?
Hurry back to Wuqinxiang to do the serious work. The railway to Moxiangdian has been interrupted for such a long time, it should have been repaired long ago.
You should have a good discussion with Li Qi, avoid conflicts between the two sides, and try to start the work before the New Year."
There are only a few days left until the New Year, so this task is a bit urgent.
Liu Guocai hurried to find Deputy General Manager Tang Huanjie, who was mainly responsible for railway affairs.
Tang Huanjie was well prepared: "Guocai, just do it. I have already handled all the formalities for you and prepared all the equipment for you. I have to rush to a dinner party here. If there is anything else, we can communicate more later."
Liu Guocai found it strange that Tang Huanjie was always in a hurry to attend a banquet whenever they met during this period.
After returning to Wuqinxiang, Liu Guocai made some rough preparations and asked his subordinates to inform Li Qi that he wanted to build a railway.
The subordinate went and replied, "I didn't see Li Qi."
Liu Guocai didn't take it seriously: "Just convey the message, and we'll start work tomorrow."
Liu Guocai has not been in Prozhou for long and does not have a good impression of Prozhou.
He knew that Li Qi was not a good person, but Li Qi was a Proton after all.
Previously, Liu Guocai was somewhat afraid of Li Qi because he suspected that Li Qi could manipulate the boundaries. He was afraid that he would lose his official position because of being implicated in this matter.
Now the matter has become a misunderstanding. In Liu Guocai's eyes, Li Qi is no different from other wealthy businessmen.
Being able to open up an entire piece of land shows that he has some ability, but no matter how capable he is, isn't he still a Prussian?
As for why Liao Zihui cared so much about Li Qi and even made huge concessions on freight, Liu Guocai didn't know and didn't want to know.
Liu Guocai was dissatisfied with many of Liao Zihui's practices, which was one of the reasons why he reported the matter to his superiors.
The groundbreaking ceremony was held as scheduled and Liu Guocai attended in person.
The materials are shipped directly from other states, and technical personnel are also transferred from other states, but some manual laborers have to be recruited locally, and few have been recruited yet.
But Liu Guocai felt that this was irrelevant to the overall situation. The most important thing about starting work was the atmosphere and momentum.
At the construction site, Liu Guocai highly affirmed the work done, but also pointed out some problems.
In fact, he doesn't understand engineering, but he still has to point out the problem. Anyway, no one dares to point out if he is wrong.
When he came to the pile of stones, Liu Guocai immediately pointed out that the stones were not neatly stacked and made a severe criticism: "This may seem like a small matter, but small matters can fundamentally reflect the problem. This is a serious problem of understanding and attitude..."
Everyone was holding a small notebook and recording the requirements of the customs envoy when the pile of stones suddenly collapsed and Liu Guocai died on the spot.
…
Liao Zihui took the report and sighed: "Guocai, Guocai...Why didn't Li Qi come on the day of the opening?"
The person who delivered the report was Zhang Xinglai, the deputy envoy of the Wuqinxiang Pass Defense. There must be a reason why Liao Zihui asked him to deliver the report.
Zhang Xinglai said, "Envoy Liu did not invite Li Qi, but sent someone to inform him."
Liao Zihui was somewhat dissatisfied, and he wanted to put the blame on Li Qi.
But even if Li Qi didn't come, he could still be involved in some way. Even if he couldn't be involved, it didn't matter, the important things had been resolved.
"Xinglai, you have been in Wuqinxiang for quite some time. Guocai died in the line of duty, and you have to shoulder the burden of the Guanfang Hall."
Zhang Xinglai immediately stood up and solemnly stated that he would fulfill his duties conscientiously.
After receiving the appointment, Zhang Xing returned to his hometown where he had no relatives.
He has been in Provincia for a long time, longer than Liao Zihui, and he knows what kind of people should not be offended.
That night, Zhang Xinglai went to see Li Qi with gifts.
Li Qi had just built a house and was having mutton hotpot with Ma Wu in the evening.
Seeing that Zhang Xinglai brought a gift, Li Qi was quite satisfied: "Brother Zhang, you are more polite than the others."
Zhang Xinglai smiled and said, "It's almost the New Year. Zhang has just taken office and came here to pay his respects to Master Qi."
"Brother Zhang, you are too polite," Li Banfeng stood up and said, "Old Five, quickly add a chair to celebrate Brother Zhang's promotion!"
After the greetings, Zhang Xinglai raised his glass and said, "Seventh Master, I am a very honest person, so I won't say much. All matters in Qiqiu City are decided by you, Seventh Master. I will rely on you to take care of me in the future."
This man can talk.
It's not just a few polite words.
Others have called this place the "Wu Qing Xiang" for who knows how many years.
But Zhang Xinglai changed his name to Qi Qiucheng, which showed his true respect for Li Qi.
The three of them raised their glasses and drank them all.
Zhang Xinglai added: "We are short of manpower for the railway construction, so please take care of us, Master Qi."
Li Qi nodded and said, "That's easy to do. Just leave it to Lao Wu."

Ma Wu said, "We have manpower here, and the price is negotiable. If Brother Zhang thinks highly of us, I will open a solo game at Junyang Avenue tomorrow, and we'll talk about the details later." The only street in Wuqin Township has now been renamed Junyang Avenue.
Zhang Xinglai raised his glass again: "With Master Wu's words, I feel relieved."
Li Qi said, "We will help each other in building the railway, and Brother Zhang will also have to take care of the freight."
"Sir, please excuse me. I will report to the General Envoy tomorrow. Sir, I originally paid 50% of the freight. I cannot control other places. In our Qiqiu City, I will try my best to reduce the freight to 30% for both the inbound and outbound goods."
Li Qi didn't say anything.
The reason why it was able to be reduced to 50% before was because of several secret battles between the two sides.
Now, Zhang Xinglai wants to reduce it to 30% based on one sentence? How can Li Banfeng trust him?
Ma Wu smiled and said, "Envoy Zhang, I'm afraid Envoy Liao will not agree to this."
Zhang Xinglai looked at Li Qi and Ma Wu and lowered his voice and said, "If it were another place, I wouldn't dare to ask, but this place originally had no industry. There is a train station, and we only send people and daily necessities occasionally. We can't make much money from shipping.
Now that it is in the hands of the two gentlemen, Qiqiu City will surely prosper. As long as we can make a little money and don't make things difficult for Zhang, everything can be discussed."
That’s exactly what I said.
The three of them got along better and better as they talked, and they drank until late at night.
When the railway construction started, it was indeed Ma Wu's workers who were used. Li Banfeng specifically reminded them: "Don't ask for too much wages. It doesn't matter if we make up the difference."
He called Chuanzi back from Heishipo and let him blend in with the workers.
Chuanzi also wanted to learn the railway technology from other states, but after two days, he came back dejected:
"Seventh Master, they asked us to work on the middle section of the track. We can lay the sleepers and build the track. It's not difficult. I can do it myself.
The railways on both sides, when they really get close to the border, are all enclosed with boundary lines, and we are not allowed to get close. I can’t learn this method. "
The railways on both sides are what are critical, as this involves the means by which trains can cross the border.
Li Banfeng had expected this. If the technique was so easy to learn, it would have been learned long ago.
The main reason Chuanzi was allowed to blend in with the workers was to investigate one thing: "Are the materials used for the middle section of the railway the same as those at both ends?"
If the materials used are the same, it means that special engineering techniques were used during the construction process, which would be more difficult. Li Banfeng is not a special engineering technician and he cannot learn the special engineering techniques.
But if the materials used are different, it proves that special materials are used in the section of the railway that crosses the boundary. Things will be much easier. It will not be difficult for Li Banfeng to get some materials back.
Chuanzi answered confidently: "Seventh Master, the materials used are the same. When we unloaded the goods for the first time, we unloaded too much at the border, and we also left a lot out."
The other states use the same construction method, which is not easy to handle.
That night, Li Banfeng put on his work clothes and came to the construction site near the border.
The construction site was silent. There was no construction going on at night. There was a halo of light around it and no one was allowed to enter.
Li Banfeng pulled the mechanism and opened a passage. He tested it with a cabbage man to make sure it was correct before he walked in.
What was he doing at the construction site? He didn't know anything, and there was no construction at night.
This matter depends on Suishenju. Wherever the key goes, Suishenju will follow. It doesn't matter if Li Banfeng doesn't understand, as long as Suishenju can understand it.
There was a half-repaired railway ahead. Li Banfeng walked back and forth along the railway several times and sat down by the railway.
Old man, you have to watch carefully.
The switch can only be used once a day. I can't go out anyway, so you can learn here slowly.
…
On Junyang Avenue, the construction of Qijun Restaurant has already begun.
The drawings designed by Chu Shaoqiang were really good. The restaurant had a main building and two subsidiary buildings, with corridors and pavilions in between. A garden was built behind the buildings, and six high-quality private rooms were specially set up in the garden.
It has both classical charm and the unique luxury of Prozhou. Ma Wu couldn't put it down after seeing the drawings and gave Chu Shaoqiang a large sum of money.
But he still couldn't remember who this person was.
Chu Shaoqiang made up a fake name. Ma Wu was a little suspicious, but he didn't rush to investigate. He invited Chu Shaoqiang to his house for a meal alone, hoping to get some information out of him. Unexpectedly, Ma Wu got drunk halfway through the drinking.
Chu Shaoqiang took out a puppet and pretended to accompany Ma Wu to continue eating. He walked out of the house and went to Qiu Luoye's territory.
New Year was approaching, Qiu Luoye was drinking with Tiger at home. After two jars of wine, Tiger was about to open the third jar, but Qiu Luoye flapped his ears and told Tiger not to move.
He walked out of the house and looked at the forest in the distance.
Chu Shaoqiang's figure slowly emerged, and Qiu Luoye asked directly: "Who are you?"
"You are Qiu Luoye, right?" Chu Shaoqiang said with a smile, "I have heard of your name in Neizhou and have also seen your deed."
"Neizhou?" Qiu Luoye spat and looked at Chu Shaoqiang and said, "What do you want to see me for?"
"Don't be so nervous, I came to you to help you.
I heard that you changed the land from deep land to main land. People in the inner states praised you for your ability. Your reputation has spread.”
Qiu Luoye said expressionlessly: "If you have something to say, say it now. If you have something to say, fart now. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."
Chu Shaoqiang nodded: "I appreciate your frankness. This time I came here, I brought you three good things.
First, money. This is a newly opened territory, and there is a lot of work to be done. Money is needed everywhere. I have brought you lots of silver. You can spend it as much as you want.
The second is cultivation. When you become a local god, you will encounter more things and have more opponents. We promise you that we will help you reach the next level.
The third is manpower. Nevada has sent a lot of manpower, and they will help you govern this land..."
Qiu Luoye interrupted Chu Shaoqiang and said with a smile: "I don't want the money. I have brothers who can make money. I can slowly accumulate my cultivation by myself. Neizhou doesn't need to worry about me. As for the manpower, you can take them and get out. Get as far away as you can."
ps: Neizhou finally came to us.
