Chapter 170 begins the PUA (Pick-Up Artist) tactics used against Liu Bang.
However, this contractor is not the same as that contractor.
This contractor is the Pro Max version of the ordinary contractor; in fact, it can be said that later contractors are not even a hair's breadth better than this one.
Because of this contractor, he not only had to be responsible for the project's progress, but also had to take care of everyone's food, clothing, housing, transportation, and related emotions.
With Tang Yu's involvement, these people were no longer cheap laborers after working for Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng not only cared for them, but even paid them wages.
Although it wasn't a lot, it was more than enough to get by.
After all, in this day and age, you can't take too many steps at once, or you'll easily break something.
This is a lesson that many predecessors who have traveled through time have taught Tang Yu through their failures, so Tang Yu will naturally keep it in mind.
Therefore, they only allowed Ying Zheng to take a small amount of money.
However, Tang Yu felt that this was already a huge change for this era.
What Liu Bang needed to do was to be in charge of the entire construction team.
The most critical issue is that Liu Bang was responsible for more than just this section of the construction project.
It's another section of road under construction, besides that one.
This section of road is longer than the area they are currently looking at, and farther from Xianyang City.
If we were to return to Xianyang, it would take at least a day and a night to ride a horse.
This position was practically made for Liu Bang.
After all, a management position would allow them to directly discover Liu Bang's talent.
Liu Bang, on the other hand, was strong in a way that extended beyond management. He was strong in everything he did, from managing things to overseeing them.
Even an ordinary construction site, Liu Bang could make it extraordinary.
Thinking about this, Tang Yu began to look forward to Liu Bang's performance.
"Brother Zilong, is this position really suitable for me?"
Looking at the vast crowd before him, Liu Bang's tone was tinged with worry, but mostly with excitement.
He never imagined that he, Liu Bang, would become the ruler of the Qin state.
Although he was just a minor official, the feeling of having about two hundred people under his command gave him an extraordinary sense of satisfaction.
Even if Wang Rui were the leader of the wandering knights in Pei County, he could only command a few dozen people at most, let alone hundreds.
Most importantly, he now holds an official position, which is completely different from before.
Liu Bang's eyes lit up, while Tang Yu nodded seriously at him.
"Yes, Brother Liu Bang, this is a position I specially fought for and selected for you. It is definitely extremely suitable for you."
Upon hearing Tang Yu's words, Liu Bang nodded very seriously.
He addressed Ying Zheng and Tang Yu.
"In that case, Liu Bang thanks Brother Zilong and Uncle Zhao."
Ying Zheng, also expressionless, nodded to Liu Bang.
Then, looking at the group of people in front of him, Liu Bang and the soldiers beside him spoke to him earnestly.
"Liu Bang, I heard from Zilong that you have a great ability to judge people. So I hope you can fully display your talents."
"If the opportunity arises, I will definitely recommend you to the court."
"Although we have declined, we can still be considered aristocrats to some extent."
Seeing this, Liu Bang was even more moved and respectfully bowed to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng nodded at him.
Looking at the group of people left for Liu Bang, Ying Zheng felt a sense of anticipation.
He didn't know what kind of talent Liu Bang, the legendary Emperor Gaozu of Han, who was famous for his management skills, actually possessed.
After all, Liu Bang's previous statement, "Let the right people do the right things," had left a very deep impression on Ying Zheng.
He never imagined that such simple and unpretentious words would be so difficult to implement.
Among the people he left for Liu Bang were talents in various fields, just waiting for Liu Bang to discover them.
If Liu Bang could truly unleash the potential of these people, then Ying Zheng wouldn't mind giving Liu Bang an opportunity.
After all, to him, Emperor Gaozu of Han was just a figurehead. If he could live, who in the world would dare to rebel against him?
Having lived another thirty years, Ying Zheng's confidence returned.
He was still the same Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, who reigned supreme in heaven and earth.
However, now he only has Tang Yu by his side.
Of all the people in the world, only Tang Yu could catch Ying Zheng's eye.
As for the others, Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, and Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, had no worries at all.
In the past, his worries were only because he was anxious that his children would be unable to deal with Liu Bang after his death.
He himself was not afraid of Liu Bang in the slightest.
"Okay, okay. I have over two hundred people under me, although they are all just ordinary workers."
"But if I manage things properly and can demonstrate my talents, I can also rise from an ordinary clerk to an official."
"Then I'll have more people under my command. And I can take the first step in changing my social class."
Liu Bang looked at the group of laborers in front of him with satisfaction, but then a question came to his mind.
That is, this place seems to be too far from Xianyang City.
Immediately, he asked, somewhat uncertainly.
“Brother Zilong, it seems that we are quite a distance from Xianyang City.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Yu's expression changed.
Ying Zheng, standing to the side, also wore a somewhat helpless and meaningful expression.
Liu Bang wasn't stupid; how could he not have realized the crux of the problem?
Such a long distance would make most people suspicious.
Tang Yu then looked at Liu Bang and said.
"Yes, Brother Liu Bang, but in the entire Qin Dynasty, this is the only place I can find that is most suitable for you."
"The journey from here to Xianyang City takes about six hours."
"What? Six hours! Isn't that way too far for me?"
Liu Bang's mouth dropped open in disbelief as he stared at Tang Yu.
He never expected that this place was six hours away from Xianyang City, which was simply hard for him to accept.
After all, she had just gotten used to Tang Yu's life and mansion in Xianyang City, and the rhythm of his life.
In just a moment, he was so far away from Xianyang City. What was he going to do?
However, to his surprise, Tang Yu, upon hearing this, not only did not offer him a solution, but instead spoke in a somewhat meaningful tone.
"But Brother Liu Bang, although this place is six hours away from Xianyang, the place where you work is not here."
"But it was another place, equally important to the entire Qin Dynasty, where roads were being built."
