From a freeloader to a world leader

Chapter 271: Winning over and suppressing

In the office of Datong Design Institute, Sun Shan said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Mo, you still have to worry about this matter. Try to start the construction of Hengzhou Bridge after the new year. You know the current situation in Hengzhou. The lack of a bridge connecting the two sides has affected the entire layout."

"I know about this, Consultant Sun, don't worry, everything is going as planned. With the idea you proposed, once everything is ready, it will definitely be fully accessible by the end of next year."

"That's good."

Sun Shan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Mo Jiayuan's guarantee that he could complete the task as planned.

Because this is just my own boasting.

Originally, he thought that with the experience of the advanced infrastructure maniac a thousand years later, and a little guidance, a year should be enough.

I didn't expect that it would be so difficult to actually practice it.

Therefore, the current plan is to prepare about 50% of all construction materials before the New Year, and then start construction on both banks and the hill between the island in the middle of the river at the same time after the New Year.

Then, we will focus on solving the problem of the arch bridge in the middle of the river on both sides of the Xiangjiang River.

As long as the bridge foundation in the middle of the river can be built, building the bridge will not be a problem.

Fortunately, thanks to the thousand-year-old Mohist school, a top architectural family, this series of problems was successfully solved in theory.

After seeing that the important matter was discussed, Mo Jiayuan also breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to his youngest brother Mo Jiaguo, who had been introduced just now: "Advisor Sun, I am a little old. This year, our Mo family's external affairs will be handled by my youngest brother Jiaguo. I will be in the design institute, doing some technical work."

"Okay, I think this is a good idea. Mr. Mo is old now, so it would be better for Mr. Jiaguo to come to the scene to give guidance."

The design institute is the focus of Sunshan’s plan. It will provide comprehensive guidance for all aspects of industry and agriculture in the future.

In the future, when the time is ripe, Sun Shan will release some advanced products from a thousand years later, such as advanced steel smelting technology, salt making, wine making, cement, glass, etc., through the technical department.

In this way, it would not seem so abrupt if I just put forward the idea and gathered skilled craftsmen from all over the world through the Mohist school.

This was the first time that the Mohist Kingdom saw the long-rumored Sun Shan.

I didn't expect that Sun Shan, who built Hengzhou like a garden, would be so friendly like a boy next door.

Surprisingly, he still calls himself Mr.

This made Mohist school, which had been silent for two or three hundred years, very excited, as he was ambitious but frustrated.

You know, ever since Sun Shan's couplet expressing his concern for everything became popular, Sun Shan's image in the empire was no longer just that of a talented storyteller or opera singer, nor was he just a big businessman who made a fortune quickly.

Combined with his previous poem "I was born to be useful", he had already become a well-known new literary star in the empire.

Anyone would be excited to be addressed as "sir" by such a great person, right?

What's more, the Mohist scholars have longed for and urgently need recognition from the world and are eager to rise rapidly.

After chatting for a while, Sun Shan told the main purpose of today's trip. He pointed to Qiuyue, who had been sitting next to him without saying a word, and said, "Mr. Mo, I brought Minister Qiu here today to discuss with you some personnel arrangements for the Supervision Department. I wonder if Comrade Haoyun has reported this to you?"

"I've been thinking about this for the past few days. It's not that Jiaguo and his family just came and things at home have just been settled-----"

Mo Jiayuan took a look at Qiuyue, who was sitting next to Sun Shan, looking stunning and murderous, and muttered in his heart: This girl is so lucky!

From a fatherless and motherless slave without even personal freedom, he sat above thousands of people in the Datong Chamber of Commerce overnight.

You know, every employee of the Datong Chamber of Commerce, which now has nearly 10,000 employees, is a high-income earner in Hengzhou City.

Even a rickshaw driver could earn ten taels of silver per month for each rickshaw.

Moreover, he is Consultant Sun, the soul of Datong Chamber of Commerce, the brother he always talks about.

Ever since the meeting ten days ago, the rickshaw-pulling employees of the transport agency have held their heads high, and no family scion sitting in the office dares to ask them to pull a rickshaw in person anymore.

Moreover, during these ten days, many clever brothers were spotted by the Supervisory Department and transferred to work in the headquarters, which previously only family members could join.

Moreover, it is the supervisory department that overwhelms all the enterprises in Datong.

This made the grassroots employees below, like restless male dogs in spring, desperately inquire and collect special information about Hengzhou City, especially Datong, and report to Chen Zhipeng.

Firstly, I want to get the approval of the Supervisory Department and see if there is an opportunity to jump into the headquarters and work.

Secondly, there is a huge cash reward.

According to the regulations previously announced by Consultant Sun, the penalty for corruption is ten times the amount and the reward for reporting is three times the amount.

In the past, no one took it too seriously.

However, on the third day after Qiuyue came to power, she arrested a member of the Sun family in Chenzhou based on clues reported in the newspaper.

According to the regulations, the fine was imposed ten times as heavy as before, and the informant was rewarded three times the bounty.

Moreover, in order to protect the safety of the whistleblower, no information about the whistleblower was disclosed throughout the process.

As a result, the working style within Datong Chamber of Commerce has become much more rigorous than before.

The employees below all kept their eyes wide open, either concerned about other people's corruption or on guard against others reporting them.

Of course, there is nothing to be wary of for the lowest-level employees. At most, you just need to pay attention to your work style.

Seeing that Mo Jiayuan was taking advantage of his age and waiting for him to speak, Sun Shan smiled to himself and said slowly, "Now that everything is settled, if you are willing, talk to Minister Qiu. If you don't have any ideas, I will transfer them from below-----"

Having said this, Sun Shan pretended to leave.

This made the two Mo brothers a little dumbfounded. They didn't expect that Sun Shan, who had looked so friendly just now, was asking for help.

Surprisingly, he changed his attitude in an instant.

"hehe-----"

Mo Jiaguo glanced at his brother who was more than 100 years older than him, smiled awkwardly, and stood up to stop him: "Advisor Sun, don't worry, my brother has already discussed it with the family. Our Mo family will send children to join the Supervision Department-----"

In fact, with such a good thing happening, everyone is so happy that they can’t contain themselves.

However, Mo Jiayuan had some concerns.

Now that Sun Shan was forcing him, he had no time to pretend anymore.

Seeing that he got a satisfactory answer, Sun Shan laughed and shook Mo Jiaguo's hand. "That's great. I believe that with your joining, Datong Chamber of Commerce will have a rapid and healthy development. I think our goals are the same. Only a fair and just order can make it grow straight like a big tree and have deep roots!"

"That's right, Consultant Sun really has a far-sighted perspective!"

Mo Jiayuan had witnessed the true side of Sun Shan, why he was so young and only a few years older than his grandson, and why he could become so powerful in just a few months.

At the same time, there is an idea to strengthen close ties.

I couldn't help but ask, "I wonder if Consultant Sun is free tonight? We would like to treat you to a simple meal to thank you for your support and care for our Mohist School."

Sun Shan thought of Xie Meiyu's invitation tonight. He thought about it and nodded, "Of course I have time. You have been here for quite a while. I should welcome you. Otherwise, I will go to the Red Mansion and book a few tables."

Mo Jiaguo waved his hand and said, "No, no, we invited Consultant Sun to our house tonight. If Consultant Sun wants to invite us, we are always here to welcome you."

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll go to your house tonight, and after half a month, when the academy is on holiday, I'll invite you all to the Red Mansion for a good gathering."

In fact, the reason why Sun Shan values ​​Mohism so much is that, firstly, Mohism does have superhuman architectural skills, and there are many places where we need their help, both now and in the future.

Secondly, in order to deal a blow to the various families that had joined the Datong Chamber of Commerce at the beginning and had already shown signs of chaos, it was necessary to support a force from the outside that had no connection with the families in any way, in order to strike back at them.

Therefore, the emergence of Mohism was very appropriate.

However, we must also break the arrogance of these arrogant families and not allow them to grow freely!
