Regarding Chen Liang's statement after drinking, Mao Geng didn't know whether to take these words seriously.

However, the "West China Contractor Team" needs a domineering talented person to keep the market. If it is really left to Chen Liang to take care of it, it would be enough to convince the public. But Chen Liang may just be on a whim and may not be able to last for a long time. And he has to make three rules with him, after all, he cannot mess with the rules.

Mao Geng had limited alcohol content, but with County Magistrate Xu and Chen Liang present, everyone was happy to drink. Mao Geng gradually became a little confused and didn't know if he was talking nonsense later.

When he woke up the next day, Mao Geng didn't even remember what he said at the banquet last night.

Mao Geng opened his eyes and saw Mao Geng waiting there at a glance. Mao Geng asked quickly:

"I didn't say the wrong thing in front of Chen Liang last night, did I?"

Wen Yuan laughed and said:

"It's okay, I just agreed too quickly."

Mao Geng also felt that he was too refreshed and could not help but say that he was worried about Chen Liang's management level until now, but since he agreed, he had no idea of ​​remorse, so he sighed:

"This Chen Tongfu is really interesting! After drinking a few glasses of wine, he was so polite. He was so sarcastic!"

Wen Yuan suddenly remembered something and said seriously:

"I almost forgot. Mr. Kang asked me to bring a message, saying that Chen Liang originally wanted to raise some money to open a newspaper like the "New News" in Lin'an. County Magistrate Xu refused to comment, but pushed Chen Liang to Mr. Kang. Mr. Kang knew that Chen Liang was too ridiculous to do things, so he tried his best to give up this idea. He praised you and advised Chen Liang to make a good friend with you. Chen Liang was no longer concerned anyway, so he went with the flow to Chen Liang.

I'm pushing it to you. Chen Liang saw the watch and the water wheel winch with his own eyes yesterday, and saw our strength. How could he not be moved! Moreover, the reputation of the West China Bag Team is getting bigger and bigger, and it spreads farther and farther, and it is even more amazing in the market. He said that the West China Bag Team made money. Chen Liang failed many times and was said to be very down and out. With such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of him, even if Chen Liang is crazy, he would never miss such an opportunity."

Mao Geng naturally knew that most of the time in Chen Liang's life was in a down-and-out period, and sometimes he could earn some money. Occasionally, he had friends to help him. However, this man spent money like flowing water. He could spend as much money as he could immediately. He probably wanted to learn from Li Bai but he didn't have the capital. He was a bit like Gu Long, a martial arts writer in later generations. Gu Long always had to pay for the manuscripts, and then spent all the money, and then spent it again. He lived to be 47 and died of alcohol. Chen Liang's situation was also roughly similar. Although he could not deny the cooper's claim that the cooper killed Chen Liang, Mao Geng estimated that Chen Liang in history had mostly died of alcoholism.

Wen Yuan saw Mao Geng looking thoughtful, thinking that Mao Geng was a little taboo about Chen Liang's reputation being too famous, and was worried that he would not be able to control it, so he said:

"Mr. Kang also said that he doesn't need to be accommodated in everything to Chen Liang, and he still has him if he doesn't work! He is older than Chen Liang at least. If he can't suppress Chen Liang, Mr. Kang will come to argue with him."

Mao Geng laughed and said:

"You don't need to be Kang to come forward in this matter. Chen Liang is not a Jinshi. He is a down-and-out scholar who failed the exams many times. He is afraid that he will do anything. He just needs to make three rules with him in advance. If he violates the agreement in the future, I'm sorry, I'll ask him to leave! It's that simple!"

In terms of insight, the famous people of the Song Dynasty were just a name in Mao Geng's mind. Mao Geng didn't believe in evil. Chen Liang was also the most character literati of this era. Mao Geng was somewhat expecting to work with Chen Liang.

After Chen Liang sobered up, he actually didn't seem unreasonable. On the afternoon of the next day, Mao Geng and Wenyuan specially invited Chen Liang. After confirming that Chen Liang was sincerely coming to lead the "West China Contract Team", Mao Geng directly made his own request:

"Brother Tongfu, my first requirement is that you must work meticulously and strive for excellence in any case, so that your boss can satisfy your house you have built for him. You must not cut corners and violate the contract with your boss. This is the minimum. I believe that Brother Tongfu can do it!"

Although Chen Liang was already forty-six, his mentality was very young. Mao Geng said that he was not happy about his husband and insisted that others call him Brother Tongfu. Mao Geng was casual about what to call him, so he called him "Brother Tongfu" - Tongfu is Chen Liang's name.

Chen Liang highly agreed with this point. He claimed to be a famous scholar and refused to make a name for himself. Mao Geng did not need to make special requests. Chen Liang saw the time watch made by Mao Geng yesterday. At that time, the watch was extremely fine and the timing was accurate. This impressed Chen Liang. He naturally understood that Mao Geng was very particular in making, which was right for Chen Liang's appetite. Although Chen Liang was in a down-and-out manner, he had a high vision and had a good appreciation for the artifacts. He nodded and said:

"Brother Yu highly agrees with what Yi Sheng said. When I was drinking yesterday, I said that I would build a palace for the government in the future. Even if I can't build a palace, I should be worthy of my reputation. Yesterday, I heard from Yi Sheng that in addition to this cement, there will be many new things for building houses in the future. Haha, Brother Yu likes to build a house that is the best in the Song Dynasty, just like the original time watch and water wheel winch by Brother Yi Sheng. That is what I, Chen Liang, is willing to do. Therefore, I really don't have to worry about Brother Yu ruining the construction."

Mao Geng smiled and said:

"Brother Tongfu, I believe that Brother Tongfu will live up to expectations. We are going to lead the new trend of construction in the Song Dynasty. In addition to cement, the tiles will be different in the future, the floors will be different, and the windows will be different. In short, there will be many novel materials that the Song Dynasty did not have before, and the houses built with these materials will be of various shapes. If Brother Tongfu is interested, he can build a lot of tricks, such as twenty and thirty floors. At that time, Brother Tongfu can even say that we are building the best houses in the Song Dynasty every year. Brother Tongfu, we agreed that the houses we will build in the future will be better and higher every year, and will be higher every year. I say that, Brother Tongfu is satisfied!"

Chen Liang originally thought that building a house was just a inferior job done by bricklayers, and he was a little disdainful of it. However, Mao Geng did have a magical attraction here, but he was not well-known and had no way to become an official. Although he had a wide range of friends, he had no life to make a living by using these connections. Thinking about the house that everyone wants to build. Since Mao Geng could build the best house in the Song Dynasty, maybe this was a good opportunity. Now he no longer felt that building a house depreciating his value. He smiled on his face and said:

"Brother Yu can trust Yi Sheng, and Yi Sheng must trust Yi Sheng too. Of course, if you want to build the best house."

Mao Geng felt that Chen Liang was crazy in his bones, and this statement should be true. Then he had to reveal Chen Liang's pain points:

"The second thing is to ask your father and brother to drink less. After drinking with you, you may miss the problem. Therefore, we, including me, have a rule that we do not pay the bill after drinking, and do not sign a contract after drinking. We also ask your brother to abide by this matter."

Chen Liang knew that he had made many mistakes, so he had to nod.

When Mao Geng saw Chen Liang nodded, his heart became more relaxed, and he said to Chen Liang:

"I think Brother Tongfu is in his prime and is already hunched back and looks a little haggard. I have some pills here to send Brother Tongfu. After taking it, it should be better."

Chen Liang was a little moved when he heard this, and thought to himself that Brother Mao was very considerate and asked:

"I don't know what kind of magic medicine it is, but it is easy to refine, and it must be a magic medicine."

Mao Geng initially concluded that Chen Liang was calcium-deficient. After staying in the cell for a long time, he would not see the sun, so he would definitely be calcium-deficient. He happened to prepare fine calcium carbonate, which was just enough for Chen Liang to replenish calcium. He said embarrassedly:

"This medicine has health benefits. The name of the medicine is 'Ju Neng Calcium'. After taking Ju Neng Calcium, Brother Fu, when you build a house, you can build it very well, Ju Neng!"

"Really?"

"Of course, after eating giant calcium, Brother Tongfu will definitely be very generous when writing articles. Our "Xinbao" is still waiting for Brother Tongfu's masterpiece! The payment of "Xinbao" is okay. But there is one thing, if you don't talk about current affairs, Brother Tongfu, can you do it?"

Replenishing calcium does not nourish the brain. Mao Geng said this a bit fooling Chen Liang.

But Chen Liang has no doubt that he has at all. As long as he has the money to pay for writing articles, isn’t it a piece of cake?
