Datang New Giants

Chapter 122 Prestige is not easy to use

The name of the small restaurant has not yet been decided, and various tasks are already in full swing.

Lu Ting has a lot of things to do. All the original decoration of the shop will be demolished and refurbished, such as counters, kitchens, tables and stools must be built immediately, the facade must be refurbished, cooking utensils must be unified, and the carpenters of Wuyitang Cheng Chuliang was so generous that he brought the craftsmen of Cheng's mansion to the shop to help.

Seeing that there was not enough manpower, Lu Ting went to Prince Qin's Mansion and dragged the craftsmen from Prince Qin's Mansion to catch up with the work.

"Xuanling, I saw all the craftsmen in the mansion go out just now, what happened?" Li Er asked in surprise when he returned to Prince Qin's mansion.

Hongyi Palace is inconvenient to discuss matters. If nothing happened, Li Erduo was sitting in Prince Qin's Mansion. When he got off the carriage, he happened to see the craftsmen from the mansion getting on the carriage in groups, and he didn't know where he was going.

If more than ten people go out at once, nothing will happen.

Fang Xuanling smiled, and quickly responded: "This subordinate is about to report this matter to the lord, lord, sit down first."

After Li Er sat down, Fang Xuanling said, "Master Lu borrowed all the craftsmen."

"Lu Ting? Doesn't Wuyitang have craftsmen? What's the use of borrowing craftsmen?"

"My lord, this kid is crazy." Fang Xuanling said helplessly, "As soon as he came back, he opened his mouth to ask for money. He also said that he wanted to renovate the Wuyitang, and he wanted to add manpower to the Wuyitang. Now that the cost of the house is so tight, How could his subordinates agree, he said at this time to borrow the craftsmen in the house, said to cooperate with Wuyitang, and set up a small restaurant, so that the veterans of Wuyitang would have something to do, so they don't have to sit around all day. Wuyitang has increased its income, so we can’t rely on the Qin Palace’s appropriation for everything, and the subordinates can’t refuse, so they just borrowed it from him.”

Li Er frowned: "Nonsense, Wuyitang are all meritorious people, how can I treat them poorly and increase their income, what if I squander all my money?"

What's the meaning of these words, as if I can't afford to support those meritorious soldiers in Wuyitang, isn't this a slap in the face of myself?
What kind of small restaurant, tampering with Wuyitang's funds, losing all the money and letting those veterans eat the northwest wind?

Who gave him such courage.

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "My lord, you guessed wrong this time, Lu Ting did not embezzle a penny from Wuyitang, all the capital was raised by himself, it was he and Da Changjin and those bastards who came together Wuyitang doesn’t need to take even a single cent of the money, but takes a lot of it. That kid is really confident. The contract is for the eldest grandson Chong and the others to protect the capital, which is equivalent to sharing with the rich. If he loses, he will be alone. bear it."

"Oh, and this matter? Xuanling, what do you think of this matter?"

"My lord, my subordinates think this is a good thing." Fang Xuanling analyzed, "Lu Ting promised not to act in the name of Prince Qin's mansion. He brought those virtuous nephews up. I came here to find a backer, if there is anything to do, I don’t need Qin Wangfu and Wuyitang to come forward, if I make money, Wuyitang will have money, and if I lose Wuyitang, there will be no loss.”

After a pause, Fang Xuanling added: "My subordinates think that Lu Ting said a lot. The people in Wuyitang are too idle, no good, too idle. They either have no hope, no fighting spirit, or are easy to cause trouble. Find them some Doing things makes them live a more fulfilling life.”

"It makes sense, so let him make trouble." Li Er quickly figured it out.

With the end of the holiday, the Prince's Mansion has obviously stepped up its deployment. Li Er has too many things to do, and Fang Xuanling also agreed that it's not a big deal anyway, so let him worry about it.

It is a fact that Wuyitang’s funds are insufficient. Fang Xuanling and Li Er have a tacit understanding not to mention it. Now not only Wuyitang, but also the Qin Palace is actively increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. It is obvious that Lu Ting is filial to himself for Wuyitang to take the lead.

Everyone knows that Wuyitang is his own, that is to say, he gets the big head of the business, the money is not much, but his intentions are rare.

With the help of a group of skilled craftsmen from Prince Qin's Mansion, the manpower of the shop became sufficient. After Lu Ting arranged them, he rushed back to Wuyitang without stopping.

The decoration is very important, as is the training of manpower. Before entering Wuyitang, Zhang Heng's angry voice was heard at the gate of Luting.

"You guys, fighting each other is more powerful than the other, and now you are all loose."

"Didn't you say you're bored? Don't you have nothing to do? Now that you have something to do, everyone doesn't talk."

"You're going to rot here."

Lu Ting walked in quickly, just in time to see Zhang Heng who was walking towards the backyard angrily.

"Boss Zhang, what's the matter, getting so angry?" Lu Ting walked a few steps faster and followed Zhang Heng and asked.

Seeing Lu Ting, Zhang Heng's complexion improved a bit, and he said a little angrily: "It's not those farm slaves who usually shout about being bored and want to find something to do. , just refused to sign up, I was so mad."

"Don't be angry, Boss Zhang, how did you find someone?" Lu Ting asked while comforting him.

"It is to let them sign up first, and then screen them. I didn't expect that there was not even a single sign-up. Are you angry?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Heng gritted his teeth and said: "If you have money, you don't make money. Everyone sits here and eats and waits to die. Don't even think about borrowing a penny from me in the future."

Lu Ting frowned and said, "Boss Zhang, you didn't talk about money?"

It shouldn't be, these people beat their brains out for a piece of cake, now they have something to do, or do things for Wuyitang, these people are not tempted?
Zhang Heng nodded and said, "I told you, the food is all included, and the subsidy is [-] Wen per day."

Lu Ting was silent all of a sudden. The price is neither high nor low. You must know that Wuyitang is mostly old, weak, sick and disabled, and some of them are a bit extreme. The price cannot be compared with the young and strong guys. It's hard to find an errand outside, so no one wants to go.

Accidentally saw Duan Sandao biting a piece of dead grass and watching others play leaf cards, Lu Ting went over and patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Duansan Dao, you are short of money, you have an errand to do now, why don't you sign up? "

"No, it's boring." Duan Sandao shook his head and said.

"Why? Less money?"

Duan Sandao nodded and said: "It's not about money, I have at least been a captain, and I went to wait for those people in the waiter, so I don't want to do it."

"That's right, it's embarrassing to show your face." A veteran also nodded and echoed: "There is food and drink here, and you won't be full if you have a few extra coins, and you won't starve to death without those dozens of coins. In such a cold day, lying in bed Come on, are you uncomfortable?"

The person next to him nodded approvingly.

When talking, some retired veterans sat there expressionless, not even raising their heads, like a pool of stagnant water that has not moved for ten thousand years.

Zhang Heng's face was so dark that it was about to drip water, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he turned his head and left without saying anything.

Lu Ting could only follow with a wry smile.

Returning to the independent small courtyard where Zhang Heng lived, Zhang Heng saw Lu Ting and shook his head helplessly: "Brother Lu, you have seen it too. , if you make money, donate some money to Wuyitang."

Ashamed, Wuyitang took the big head without paying a penny, just paid some people, which can be said to have taken advantage of it, but now it can't even get people together, Zhang Heng feels ashamed of Lu Ting.

In the past, it was fine in the army, and orders from the top to the bottom were effective, and the military ruled them if they refused to obey. Now it is different, everyone is retired, and now Zhang Heng is managed by prestige. If those people do not violate the rules of Wuyitang, even Zhang Heng It's not good to insist on it. In a dilemma, I had to give up this cooperation.

No one is out, so why don't you take a share?

Lu Ting patted Zhang Heng on the shoulder and said, "Don't waste it, Boss Zhang, leave this matter to me, I have a way to deal with them."

Knowing the reason, it’s easy to handle, but it’s just that they can’t impress them, or their thinking has become inertial, they can’t save face, and they don’t want to change the status quo. Zhang Heng is a straightforward person who is used to using force to solve the problem. This kind of person He is a good player in war, but when he is off the battlefield, his tricks will not work.

If you are really capable, Wuyitang will not be in a lifeless situation like it is now.

Zhang Heng said in surprise: "Brother Lu, do you have a way to deal with them?"

Those old bastards are all human beings, and they have nothing to do with them. Can Lu Ting deal with them?

Lu Ting nodded and said: "Boss Zhang, you have been in Wuyitang for so many years, there are always some cronies, or people who can command you, not many, three or five are enough, but they must be smart."

"If there are, I'm afraid you won't be able to bring them down."

"It's okay, just call them here." Lu Ting said confidently.
