Chapter 162: The Great Good
"It's too much, the girl has to be abandoned, are those who are parents wolf-hearted?" Gu Qiluo exploded as soon as he heard this, but he heard Zhong Chunfeng say in a deep voice: "Grandma, don't say that, it's all flesh and blood, if we can be together, who wants to abandon the child?" What about daughters? That's also a blood connection. It's really that they can't even support themselves, these girls don't abandon and have to wait to starve to death, they were supposed to sell them, but there is no one around there at all, and they can't go to the town, alas! In short, don't mention it, it's a hell on earth. ”
Zhong Chunfeng has never dealt with the poor very well, because he was framed by such a person in his early years, so he basically equated the poor with Diao Min, and now he can speak for the poor, which is really the first time in the world, it can also be seen how miserable those people are, so miserable that even Zhong Chunfeng can't stand it.
Not to mention Gu Qiluo this time, even Xiao Jiangbei, who has always been indifferent, was a little moved, and suddenly heard his lover: "Hey! What's going on? When the schedule closed the gold mines, didn't you arrange a way back for these people? ”
Xiao Jiangbei said in a deep voice: "The chief supervisor of the gold mine was wiped out that day, and those miners were also guilty of ignorance of their reasoning. This sentence is equivalent to an explanation: Cheng Tong is only responsible for arresting people, not for this kind of aftermath.
In fact, there are no officials who are responsible for this kind of aftermath: it is good that the miners are not guilty, and if they are released, they will naturally find another way to live.
No one would say that this was wrong, so Zeng Yuan was puzzled: "Yes." Master Cheng is already on the open side of the net, but those miners have hands and feet, how can they live so miserably? ”
"What's the use of having hands and feet?" Zhong Chunfeng angrily slapped a teacup: "Don't forget what season it is?" It's icy and snowy. Where do you let them find their way around? They originally had a home, but they either went into debt or sold themselves and mortgaged themselves to this gold mine, and now that their homes are long gone, where do they go to find a way to live? It's workmanship, and this Liaodong land is sparsely populated. It is backward and closed, except for Shanchun Mansion, it is a prosperous town of Wangjiaji. But they didn't even have a pair of decent shoes, and before they reached Wangjia Town, they were going to die on the road because of cold and hunger. ”
Ying Feihong also sighed: "What's more, even if you go to Wangjiaji Town, it's useless." There wasn't even a rich man in that town. Who will ask them to do things? In the final analysis, it's because Liaodong is so poor that he can't even beg for food. ”
As soon as they said this, Zeng Yuan's mood also became heavy, and he looked at Gu Qiluo and said, "Grandma, since these people are miners, they must all be rich and strong, and they really can't do it." Why don't you hand them over to me and be part of the team that clears the wasteland next year. They can't make much money, and they can make ends meet. ”
Ying Feihong and Zhong Chunfeng's eyes lit up, and Ying Feihong said: "This is a good idea, most of them are young and powerful Jurchens and people of other ethnic groups, even if they are old, they have a lot of strength......
Without waiting to finish speaking, he listened to Gu Qiluo and said lightly: "If the Jurchens and other people of all ethnic groups say that they can't let them open up the wasteland and farm, because they won't." ”
Zhong Chunfeng just heard Zeng Yuan say that he wanted to give those people a way to live, but he was denied by Gu Qiluo, this cold from hope to disappointment, made this product immediately anxious, and was about to ask why, he heard Gu Qiluo give the answer, this time even he couldn't speak. Indeed, the Jurchens and other tribes were not focused on agriculture at all, and they had to study for two years to cultivate the land.
"Grandma has always been merciful, why is she so cruel now? Even if those people can't, won't they be able to study for two years? It's not that hard. Ying Feihong was also unhappy, but because he knew Gu Qiluo, his tone was not too impulsive.
saw Gu Qiluo smiled slightly and said, "Doctor Ying, I'm helping you, you don't appreciate it, it's really stupid." ”
"Huh? Help me? Ying Feihong was surprised, even Xiao Jiangbei turned his head to look at his lover, and saw Gu Qiluo take a sip of tea slowly, and said leisurely: "Those people have to learn for two years to open up wasteland and farm, but if you recognize a few herbs, it won't take so long, right?" What's more, the environment in which they live is difficult, they are afraid and they can't afford to see a doctor, and once they get sick, they have to treat themselves, so that probably everyone can recognize some basic medicinal materials, and they are familiar with the situation in Beifeng Mountain......"
Before he finished speaking, Ying Feihong slapped his thigh and stood up, shouting: "I'm confused, that's exactly what I said, I don't need to put ready-made talents, but I want to recruit people, oops, oops...... I...... Why am I so stupid? Grandma was right, I was just a fool, a big fool. ”
After Zhong Chunfeng was stunned for a while, he was also very happy, nodded and praised again and again: "Not bad, this is a great thing, grandma is really good." ”
Zeng Yuan said with a smile: "I still want to catch some coolies, but who knows that it will be gone in a blink of an eye, this is good, no matter what I say, Brother Ying will definitely refuse to let go." ”
Gu Qiluo glanced at him and said, "There are still important people." This Tang Wannian is insatiable, not only the Jurchens and other tribes are exploited by him, but the immigrants in the Guannai are no better, but they don't dare to be as vicious as the Jurchens and other tribes. Because you are selling goods everywhere these days, you should have some understanding of the living conditions of people everywhere, and when the time comes, we will recruit some people from those poor places, and then recruit some Jurchen and people from various tribes, and let the immigrants in the Guannai take them to open up the wasteland and farm, and it will be completed in less than two years. ”
Zeng Yuan nodded and said, "I think so too." It's just grandma, and it's just the people who haven't been recruited yet, but the hundreds of people I brought back, as well as the miners who were just said by my eldest brother, look like the New Year is about to begin, and it's a cold winter, so I have to give them something to eat and wear, and support this year, right? ”
Gu Qiluo said: "This is how it should be, you people must have made arrangements, and now they just want to report to me, right?" ”
Zeng Yuan said: "Yes, the money from selling goods this time, in addition to the capital, I plan to share the rest of the money I earn to those people, so I can buy a few catties of rice and noodles and build a thatched house, and I can deal with the past, and it will be good after the spring of the New Year." But now it's ...... from Big Brother's side"
Gu Qiluo said categorically: "You don't have to worry about Doctor Ying, you just take care of the people you brought back, this time you don't make much, there should be 20,000 silver in those capitals, you can take out another 10,000 taels, buy them enough rice, flour, cloth and cotton, and make sure they have confidence in the future." In addition, the house should not be built with thatched houses, a strong wind will blow away, a heavy snow will collapse, Liaodong is full of stones, so build two stone houses to make do, tell them, as long as they are diligent and willing to endure hardships, in less than three years, they can earn enough money to build a few large tiled houses. ”
Zeng Yuan said happily: "Gotcha! With grandma's words, I'm afraid they don't have to work hard? This is not working for others, this is working for one's own future food, clothing and wife-in-law, isn't that full of energy? ”
Gu Qiluo said with a smile: "That's right, only if you give sweetness and hope, people will be more attentive." ”
Zhong Chunfeng nodded and sighed: "As the saying goes, there is a give-and-take, grandma is willing to give up part of her interests now, but she will be able to receive a hundredfold return in the future, this is the real road to big business." It's a pity that most people in the world are short-sighted, only caring about their own immediate interests, how many can see as thoroughly as grandma? ”
"You have overturned a boatload of people with another rod, there are always big-minded businessmen in this world, Liaodong is now poor and backward, we can take the lead, and so in the future, I don't know how many people of insight will flock to it." Gu Qiluo shook his head, and as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the voice of a small guy outside: "Mr. Zhong, Changqing next to Master Cheng came over and said that Lord Cheng invited you to come over." ”
"Let's just say that Mr. Zhong has just come back from Beifeng Mountain, and he is really tired, let him rest first, and talk about it later." Gu Qiluo frowned, the secret way is really too deceitful, this Cheng Tong is simply becoming more and more unreinformed, where do you put Jiangbei and me?
was thinking angrily, but saw Zhong Chunfeng standing up with an ugly face and said, "Grandma, I'm not tired, Lord Cheng probably has something important to look for me, I'll go over first." After speaking, he walked out, only to stunned Gu Qiluo, thinking that the sky was about to fall? How does Zhong Chunfeng ...... How could you be so submissive?
Ying Feihong was also a little strange here, but he didn't think much about it, and said to Gu Qiluo: "Grandma, you know me, the little money you earned in the capital was used by yourself, and now you don't have any savings, not to mention that the future medicinal herb warehouse is also the property of Xiao Gu Villa, I just work for you, so I can't come up with money for the group of people under Beifeng Mountain to help, and I have to take the money." ”
This should be too straightforward. Gu Qiluo shook his head and said with a smile: "When did I say that I used you to take money?" Look scares you. I will ask Xiaoqiao to support 3,000 taels of silver, and then find some people to bring you and send them some rice noodles and bedding to keep out the cold. ”
"Okay, it's easy to do things if you have money, so leave this matter to me." Ying Feihong was also happy, stood up and pulled the small bridge and rushed out to discuss various affairs.
Here Gu Qiluo said to Zeng Yuan: "You are also running all the way, go and rest, Chunyu Xinghua, you may not have met Zeng Yuan for a long time, you all went over to talk to him, I don't have to serve here." ”
Chunyu is a little strange, secretly saying that my brother and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and we should speak, why do you call Sister Xinghua? Looking back at his brother, he saw that he was looking at the apricot blossoms with hope, but then lowered his head again, Chunyu had some realization in his heart, but he was very surprised. (To be continued......)
