Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Hearing these words, the room instantly became quiet.

The wealthy businessmen who were in an excited state just now all stared at Wei Wu with wide eyes.

Originally, they thought that what Wei Wu meant by changing their lives was that cement would make them richer.

Now, just one sentence overturned their guess.

If even this is not considered life-changing, then what Wei Wu is about to say next can only be described as explosive.

At this moment, Wei Wu also spoke directly.

"This time, the imperial court contracted the city wall to wealthy private businessmen. Their purpose was actually to promote a brand new business model - bidding!"

"That is, the imperial court provides specific projects and acceptance criteria, and private merchants compete to see who can win the project."

"In order to promote this model even further, His Majesty is going to offer two titles of nobility to reward the person who completes the project best."

When the wealthy businessmen present heard that Zhu Yuanzhang actually offered a title, they all gasped.

No wonder Wei Wu just said, "It's enough to change your life."

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.

As merchants with the lowest social status, it would be such an honor for their families if they could obtain a title!

So after Wei Wu finished speaking, these people were so excited that their whole bodies began to tremble.

But he didn't dare make any sound, for fear of affecting Wei Wu's next words.

You could hear a pin drop in the whole room.

Qingxia, who was sitting next to Wei Wu, finally understood at this time that this was the benefit Wei Wu was talking about.

Compared to other businessmen, Qingxia was the most excited one in the room.

From ancient times to the present, there have been only a handful of women who have been able to be granted a title, but now she has this opportunity!

Just as everyone's emotions were becoming more and more fanatical, Wei Wu's voice rang out from the room again.

"The specific evaluation criteria are lower cost, higher efficiency and better quality. Only two out of five contractors will be selected."

"If one of you has sufficient financial resources, you can definitely try to bid. After all, you have an advantage."

"Others need to buy cement from you to build the city wall, but you only need to pay the cost price for the cement."

Having said that, Wei Wu picked up the teacup again to sip the tea in order to give them time to digest it.

After a while, he put down his teacup and continued:

"Also, I can tell you that the court's future direction will be construction, with the large-scale use of cement."

"So, even after the city wall is built, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell the cement. You will only make more and more money."

"It's no exaggeration to say it's a goose that lays golden eggs. As long as you have the right to use the formula, you can continue to make money."

The more Wei Wu spoke, the more excited the merchants became; some even blushed with excitement.

But at this moment, Wei Wu suddenly changed the subject and said in a cold tone:

"However, I must remind you of one thing. I am telling you this news in advance as a reward for your staying."

"But these are all secrets of the imperial court. If anyone leaks this information, you all know the consequences, don't you?"

After hearing Wei Wu's threat, the wealthy businessmen were not afraid, but all spoke up enthusiastically.

"Don't worry, Lord Changle! We want to keep this good thing to ourselves, and no one would be so foolish as to spread it."

"That's right! If there's any benefit, of course we should keep it secret. If it gets out, wouldn't that just create competition for ourselves?"

"That's right! If anyone dares to spread this news, we won't let him go, even without the imperial court taking action!"

When everyone started to speak, Huang Tianfeng just stood up.

"Everyone, Lord Changle took such a big risk to tell us the news and give us the opportunity to soar to the sky."

"If anyone dares to mess around, even if Lord Changle is here, I will tell them that I, Huang Tianfeng, will definitely have someone kill the leaker!"
