Liyue Taoist of the original god

Go down from the edge of Yiyan Hall and arrive at the school boundary.

From a distance, you can see that a large area of ​​​​the area is under construction.

If the official road leading to Chihu Rock is regarded as a dividing line,

Here, the whole place is divided into two areas, north and south.

Near Yujing Terrace, from east to west are playgrounds, schools, gymnasiums and other large building complexes.

To the south of the dividing line, from Guandao to the end of the Tianheng Mountains, this large open space is a residential area.

Several small villages that were originally scattered were demolished five years ago and turned into rows of neatly planned houses.

Nowadays, the Xuanmen lineage with more than 100,000 people only occupies a very small area of ​​this residential area, about one-third.

Facing the upcoming miners, it is completely tolerable.

Just like the school, a martial arts competition arena is also being built next to the official road in the residential area in preparation for the upcoming Xuanmen martial arts competition.

Ouyang, who already had a blueprint in his mind, took a good look at this scene from far to near. Although he did not preside over such a scene, as a participant, he was still a little proud.

Not only that, when Ouyang read the reports in the past two days, he also discovered that an interesting thing happened in this area when it was under construction.

The living environment here is actually quite good. It is close to the mountains and faces the sea. There is no shortage of daily necessities. It is not far from Chihuyan and the commuting time to work is not long. The only trouble is the water source.

Fortunately, the school side is directly connected to the running water of Yujingtai.

The trouble is that the problem of drinking water for more than 100,000 people in the residential area has troubled Keqing for a long time. Due to the terrain, water sources in the lower areas cannot lead running water to higher areas.

Also because it is built against a mountain, deep wells cannot be dug casually, as this can easily cause hidden dangers.

But there are only a few deep wells facing hundreds of thousands of people, and the water they provide is only a drop in the bucket.

Just when Keqing was so distressed that he wanted to give up here, one day the Qianyan Army came to report that a living spring was found on the top of the tail end of the Tianheng Mountains, which solved Keqing's trouble.

Nowadays, the living spring water winds down along the dug path, fills more than a dozen built reservoirs, and finally flows into the sea.

At this point, this area has truly become a livable place.

The reason why Ouyang found it interesting was that he guessed that the sudden appearance of the spring water was most likely the work of the uncle. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why no one discovered this water source during the early exploration work.

That's why Ouyang maintained a negative attitude towards Gan Yu's statement that the emperor had ignored Liyue Port affairs for many years.

Apart from not having Mora, Morax is quite trustworthy in other things.

Thinking of this, Ouyang felt a little painful in his heart.

In the past few days, the uncle has sent a lot of bills. In addition to the antiques and minerals that were discussed before, Ouyang found that the cost of dining and entertainment was obviously much more than before.

Mmp, your wallet has obviously arrived, why is it my family who is injured?!

And uncle, it’s too much for you to have to settle the bill with your family for the money to go to Zhutian Fang, isn’t it?!

As a god, is it really appropriate to drink flower wine?!

Of course, complaints are complaints, and you still have to settle the bill, but now he has discovered it,

The more money I make for the things I bought for your family, the more I spend. When I go in and out, I actually don’t earn that much.

Fortunately, now the burden of the school, a gold-swallowing behemoth, is gone. Without such a huge financial pressure, I can spend whatever I want.

Anyway, I can afford it.

Along the outer wall of the school to the official road, there is a small square here.

Several simple houses were built on the edge of the lotus pond. It is now regarded as a small command center.

It is used to manage all projects in this area.

There were a lot of secretaries coming and going in Yu Hengxing's office. Because they didn't know each other, Ouyang didn't go there to cause trouble. He came to Gui'an this time.

After turning around a few huts, you can see a house with the sign "Your Project" hanging on the door of one of the huts.

Just as he was about to get closer, he heard Gui'an's powerful voice coming from inside.

"How are you doing this? Your family owes you wages? Yesterday, we promised that we would finish the wall today, but it's still not done yet?!"

"Hey, Mr. Gui'an, please calm down. We made a miscalculation in our early predictions. This project is a bit difficult. We still hope that Mr. Gui'an can give us a few more days of grace. I promise, it will be done the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow!"

"You fart! You said it would be done today, and now you tell me it will take two days? What about my future project progress? Isn't it all going to be messed up?! Is your construction team okay? If not, I'll replace it.

!”

Gui'an's angry shouts were loud, and Ouyang, who was already outside the door, could hear clearly. He made a gesture and stepped away from Shen He, wanting to hear carefully what was going on.

In the hut, Gui'an looked at the foreman who was standing in front of him and was smiling. He was unmoved and stared at him and asked sternly.

"Give me a quick word, can I finish it today?"

"Mr. Gui'an, the requirements for this wall are so high, it's okay if it must be completed today, but it's just that we have to work overtime..."

Shi Qian explained with a grimace on his face, his thoughts in his heart were very simple - add more money!

Unlike the sad look on his face, the current situation was caused by him on purpose. Nowadays, the business of the various bosses in Liyue Port is not easy, and those who are engaged in engineering are naturally not much better.

It was a good thing to undertake your project, but I didn’t expect that Gui’an was a knowledgeable person.

All expenses were calculated so that he could not make much money.

That's why he came up with this idea, thinking whether he could cheat some or not, he would take a stab at it first. Anyway, if he really worked overtime, he wouldn't really have to pay much overtime pay.

So if Gui'an is willing to give more, then he will make money with his blood.

If he doesn't want to, even though he has to work overtime according to the contract, at least he won't lose money.

Here Gui'an could not understand after hearing what the other party said, he said without giving in.

"Working overtime is also your business. I told you repeatedly at the beginning and you agreed.

It's useless for you to come up with all kinds of excuses for me now, we signed the contract!

I don't care what you do, I have to see the wall finished tomorrow morning.

And let me tell you, the quality must be guaranteed. If the acceptance test fails tomorrow, you will not only have to pay for it, but you will also have to compensate us according to the price for delaying our construction period!"

"Mr. Gui'an, please give me a way to survive. The price you set at the beginning was extremely low. If you still have to work overtime, I, I will lose money."

"Shi Qian, don't do this for me. I don't know what you foremen think. In one sentence, can you do it?!"

Looking into Gui'an's serious eyes, Shi Qian knew that there would be no benefit this time.

Seeing this, he stopped insisting and said with a grimace: "Mr. Gui'an, I will ask the craftsmen to work overtime to complete it. I guarantee that it will be completed!"

"go quickly!"

After receiving the assurance, Gui'an waved Shi Qian's hand to retreat, and he was too lazy to continue arguing with the other party.

After the people left, Gui'an sat at the desk, picked up materials one by one and prepared to read them.

As your family's stall opened, he, a semi-illiterate who only knew a few words at first, had to face paperwork that he disliked very much.

In order not to make any mistakes, one can imagine that he put in a lot of effort.

At a certain moment, Gui'an felt that his master was right. Navigation and trade were easier and more comfortable than facing these piles of documents here.

It's a pity that the master just got angry two days ago, and now he doesn't dare to go to Ouyang to ask for a job change.

So now he could only look at these documents with a grimace and bite the bullet.

outside the door,

After seeing Shi Qian leave, Ouyang did not choose to go in immediately.

He looked thoughtfully at the open door and thought quietly,

Shen He, who was standing aside, saw Ouyang's thoughtful look, pushed his wheelchair back a few steps, and came to a shadowed place.

Many days of getting along with her have made her aware of many of Ouyang's habits.

The way he is thinking with one hand on his chin like this shows that he doesn't want to be disturbed in a short time.

So she pushed her wheelchair to the shadows and stood by silently.

As time goes by, there is a large flow of people coming in and out of the houses here. Many people are in a hurry. Although they are orderly, most of them appear to be very busy.

Many people have noticed the two people in the shadow of the corner, but the cold temperament of Shen He has made outsiders give up the idea of ​​coming up to say hello.

In less than half an hour, Ouyang came back to his senses from his thoughts. He did not look back and said calmly: "Let's go."

Then he controlled the wheelchair to go to Gui'an's hut.

At the door, Ouyang saw that this small room was filled with many cabinets.

Some small construction equipment was casually leaned against the wall or placed on the cabinet.

The whole house seemed messy.

Due to structural problems, this small room is not very bright even in broad daylight, so candles are now lit. Gui'an is currently lighting the candles, frowning and reading documents.

He didn't notice Ouyang and Shen He entering the door at all.

Entering the house, he bent down and picked up the paper that fell on the ground. He took it in his hand and looked at it. He found that it was some messy words written in such a mess that he couldn't understand what they were.

"Gui'an, it's time for you to tidy up here."

"Which king...Oh, sir, why are you here?"

The sudden sound startled Gui'an. After seeing clearly that the person coming was his master, he swallowed the curse words he almost cursed out.

He quickly got up and knelt down in front of Ouyang to say hello.

"Master, what are your orders for coming this time? Just let me know. How can I bother you to make this trip?"

"You stand up and talk to me! You kneel down at every turn. Who taught you?"

"Hey, thank you, sir."

He knelt down to make amends. His master had just lost his temper before. He was still not sure whether his master was still angry or not. Now it seemed that what happened before was in the past.

But just when he was about to get up, he suddenly heard Ouyang say.

"I heard that your training momentum just now was much stronger than what you are doing now."

thump--

Gui'an knelt down again and quickly begged for mercy: "Master, I am working for your family. It was the foreman who did not come as promised, so I scolded him. No, there is no momentum or anything."

Although it is all true, the tone is obviously somewhat lacking.

Because from the beginning to the end, Ouyang was just giving orders. All matters outside were basically ignored and left to Guiping and Gui'an to handle.

For many years, some people in Liyue Port have called them "Master" because of this.

This is unthinkable in other families, but in your family it is nothing. At least my master knew about it and never reprimanded him.

But it's different today. From what Ouyang said, his bossy look before probably meant that he happened to be caught.

It is not a good thing for servants at home to be arrogant and domineering outside.

It’s just that the tone of the words didn’t seem harsh,

This made him unsure whether the words just struck him or meant something else.

Anyway, kneel down first and then talk!

Snapped--

A paper ball hit Gui'an on the head accurately, making him tremble in fright.

"I asked you to get up and talk. I'm not blaming you. I'm just asking about the situation. Get up!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Hearing this, Gui'an stood up and said,

He was hunched over, with a low eyebrow and a dog-legged look on his face.

Ouyang glanced angrily and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

There are many things in this world that cannot be explained.

He has always known that his servants are called masters outside, but so what,

The two of you have helped your family deal with so many things, so they can't not give you any benefits, right?

As long as Ouyang doesn't eat the inside out and become rebellious, it doesn't really matter to Ouyang.

After uncovering this problem, Ouyang looked up at Gui'an and asked.

"What happened just now? From your tone, it seems that the foreman did something wrong?"

"Sir, the foreman's name is Shi Qian. He is probably a well-known foreman here in Liyue Port.

The construction of our arena was contracted out to him.

Yesterday, he also promised to finish the wall part today.

As a result, he came to me today and told me that he had to work overtime to finish the job. Isn’t this an obvious attempt to get your family to pay for the overtime work?

How could such a good thing happen? It was clearly written in the contract.

So I gave him a scolding."

"Well, you can take care of these things yourself. If you work overtime, since you don't have to pay, you can ask someone to go to Huyan to order a late-night snack for the workers. By the way, you can ask someone from the house to keep an eye on it and pay attention to construction safety."

"Okay, sir."

While agreeing, Gui'an apologized and said cautiously: "But Master, those foremen now are all extremely slippery people. You must not be soft-hearted, otherwise they will definitely climb up the ladder and wish to get more from our house."

Knock more molas out."

"You don't need to say these things, you can take care of it yourself. I just hope you will pay more attention to the protection of construction workers."

Ouyang is a layman on this kind of thing. Of course he will not go beyond Gui'an to give orders blindly. He just wants to protect the interests of the workers.

But this obviously puts Gui'an in a bit of a dilemma: "Master, the workers we organize ourselves are well protected. The wages I give are sufficient, but it's hard to say about the team organized by the foreman. After all, we can't control it."

ah."

"Well, that's why I asked you to think of more ways. Maura doesn't have to pay, so let's give you more benefits from other aspects, such as food and sleep. Do you still want me to give you advice on these things?"

This was what he was thinking outside the door before. After talking to Gui'an, he became more certain that the life of the workers in Liyue Port might really be about to be difficult.

Keqing came to ask this question a long time ago. The major renovation of Liyue Port five years ago caused the bubble to increase. Now major businessmen will choose to lay off employees if they are having a hard time.

Fortunately, Keqing pulled a large part of the labor force from the market to dig the canal in advance, so the crisis has not yet broken out.

However, with the sealing of the Strata Rock Abyss, many things are beginning to become uncertain again.

Liyue Port's trade will definitely encounter turmoil, but whether it can have a soft landing and whether it can be solved as small as possible so that the people don't notice it at all will require a lot of effort.

Because Ouyang deeply understands that any fluctuation of a small number on paper means that the lives of at least tens of thousands of people will become turbulent.

Mmp, the old man who drinks flower wine, why do you think I am a capable person who can solve this kind of problem?!

Ouyang, who was just more experienced, but actually had no reserve of knowledge, had something in his mind and silently complained about a certain god.

Do you know how many hairs I lost because of your edict?!

As a result, you went to drink flower wine without taking me with you!!!

Damn God!!!
