Chapter 180 Salt Bank Closure (4000)(2/2)
"besides."
Wu Liang continued, "Most of the tenants I found for Brother Yongkang are lonely refugees. I'm afraid they won't have food before the crops mature... Of course, these people cannot be raised by Brother Yongkang. My
It means that my dear brother Yongkang can advance some grain to them to maintain their livelihood, and when the crops are mature, I will supervise them and ask them to return them in full. What do you think, my dear brother?"
"this……"
Hearing this, Zhu Lu finally hesitated.
Although there is a lot of grain in his granary, it will take almost half a year to raise it. That is not a small amount. If something unexpected happens during this period, how can he afford it?
"Hiss... It's really not appropriate for Yongkang Xiandi to be responsible for this matter alone. I was out of consideration."
Wu Liang then immediately said, "How about this? I will pay the gold and ask Brother Yongkang to sell me the grain at half the price. In this way, you and I will each bear half of it. We will both be prosperous and suffer losses. How can Brother Yongkang still pay for it?"
Are you worried that I will harm myself?"
"Brother Youcai, you really are not a little brat..."
After hearing this, Zhu Lu's face turned slightly red, and he waved his hands and explained, "Because this matter is of great importance, I really don't dare to make a decision rashly. Since this is what Brother Youcai means, then let's do half of it.
If anything goes wrong during this period, I will at least have an explanation for my father."
"I understand, then the matter is settled."
Wu Liangliang was secretly happy, but his face was very solemn.
"I'm willing to listen to your talented brother's arrangements."
Zhu Lu cupped his hands and said.
Perfect!
The Zhu family's cattle, farm tools and seeds were procured for nothing, and the grain that fed the villagers through the most difficult period in the early days could be purchased at half price.
Everything has met Wu Liang's expectations. This trip was really worthwhile. It was indeed right not to dismiss Zhu Lu and send him back. I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to talk to someone else...
But Wu Liang was not completely fooling Zhu Lu.
Especially after hearing Zhu Lu's views on land tax and tenant rent just now, Wu Liang's perception of this guy also changed slightly.
Although this guy is a bit dull and has the bad taste of some playboys, and he wants to give himself a blow when he comes up, but his nature is not as bad as imagined. In troubled times, such a person may not be called a good person.
, but he is not considered a very evil person.
Therefore, in his Wu Liang plan.
Whether you promised Zhu Lu a harvest or promised him a promotion, you will definitely honor them one by one in the future, and you will not live up to this guy's blind trust in you.
In addition, in Wu Liang's more far-reaching plan.
People like Zhu Lu are not completely useless. There may be times when cooperation is needed in the future. We can't do everything in advance...
…
Not long after returning to the government office, Yang Wanli and Yu Ji also returned.
They have surveyed the terrain and marked the "Feng Shui Treasure Land" that Yu Ji used the technique of Kanyu to mark on the map.
Wu Liangxin was impressed by Yu Ji's art of guarding people, so he had no objections. He immediately decided to allocate funds and send some soldiers of the Hu army to build a camp at the designated location... This cost would naturally have to be reimbursed by Cheng Yu, the current prefect of Chenliu.
Next, Yang Wanli was ordered to take some people south to gather the refugees in Yuzhou, which was currently ownerless.
Nowadays, there are so many refugees in the world. Wu Liang offered such good conditions to recruit only 2,500 people. Don't be too casual. Most of the time is actually spent on the road.
After making these arrangements, there are only two days left before the three dynasties.
Wu Liang had nothing to do for the time being, so he took Dian Wei and Yu Ji back to Chenliu County to prepare to spend the New Year peacefully with Bai Jingjing and other beauties.
It didn't take long after we entered the city.
Wu Liang met Wang Qing by chance again on the street.
Although Wang Qing was still wearing mourning at this time, he had already changed out of mourning clothes. It seemed that the funeral of the old man of the Wang family had been completed and the mourning stage had officially entered.
"I have seen a talented and wise brother."
This time, although some of the fatigue on Wang Qing's face disappeared, it was replaced by a sad look on his face. His voice was hoarse when he spoke, and he was clearly on fire.
"Brother Yu Nian, you are fine. What are you..."
Wu Liang looked at the salt shop behind Wang Qing who was picking up a sign, and asked a little strangely.
In this day and age, salt is a hard currency that is highly valued by thieves. It stands to reason that as long as you hold on to this business, it is not easy to lose money. Why do you have to take off the brand name?
"Oh, don't mention it."
