Chapter 183: The Family Gate Valve
Huan Ji said: "I know that everyone is having a hard time now, and that is all over, and now that I am here, your hard days are over." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoHave you ever heard of a phrase called the darkness before the dawn, and I hope you can spend the darkest time before the dawn with me. ā
None of the people responded, still looking up at her.
Huan Ji lamented that it was terrible to be uneducated, and she must engage in teaching.
Huan Ji continued: "From today onwards, many refugees will settle in Qingzhou one after another, and they will also get through this difficult time with us. From today onwards, I need everyone to make some contributions to Qingzhou, I can only give you three meals a day, and if you are willing, you can come to Qingzhou Mansion to report. Those who are over eight years old and under fifty years old who can work are required. ā
The people below began to talk about it, and those who had no food to eat were happy, at least they had a way to live.
The big and rich families are unwilling, they only want the princess to lead people to fight the locust plague now, and they don't want to do anything.
Then a large family member shouted on behalf of the lord's family: "Your Royal Highness, don't you plan to fight the locust plague? ā
The others also said, "Yes, yes, shouldn't we fight the locust plague?" ā
Huan Ji pressed down with her hands and said, "Everyone be quiet, what I ask you to do is to prepare for the locust plague." Of course, I'm not asking all of you to work, I mean you have the money to contribute, and the money to contribute, and there is no reason for everyone to contribute, so you don't do it. ā
The people said, "If it is against the locust plague, whatever the princess says, we can do it." "The rich people are silent.
Huan Ji said happily: "I will record what you do, and when the locust plague is over, I will reward you according to your contributions." ā
In this way, the people of Qingzhou City were the first to start construction, the men built chicken coops and dug ponds, and the women and children raised chickens and ducks.
The people were puzzled by the princess's approach, but the princess was a goddess, and of course they didn't understand what people thought.
Huan Ji summoned all the big families in Qingzhou City to come over to discuss the issue of donations, and there was no reason to let them go.
Those big families didn't dare not come when they were summoned by the princess, so they went to the Qingzhou Yamen one by one.
Huan Ji sat on it and watched the crowd kneel down to worship.
Huan Ji said, "Get up and sit down, and serve tea." ā
The people got up and sat down on the chairs on either side.
The richest of the wealthy families in Bianzhou is the Xiao family, and Xiao Feng, the head of the Xiao family, is a branch of the Xiao family in Lanling, and he has enough power to speak in Bianzhou and even Henan Province.
The second is the Lu family, the second hundred-year-old in Bianzhou, and the head of the Lu family, Lu Dongan, is the son-in-law of the old head of the Cui family in Qinghe.
The position of the family in history is unshakable, especially in ancient China, in their hearts the family gate valve is unattainable, most of them are the marriage between the door valve and the door valve.
Huan Ji glanced at everyone and said: "I won't go around the bend, now Qingzhou is mine, if you want to gain a foothold here, you have to pay with your heart." I have never raised useless people, if you want to leave here, I will not stop you, you are in Qingzhou industry, Grange, I will buy it at the market price. ā
The group of people looked at each other, and their eyes fell on Xiao Feng, the head of the Xiao family, who was the leader, and Xiao Feng said: "The princess just came to Bianzhou, is she going to drive us away as the master?" Without our help, it would be difficult to resist the locust plague, let alone cure the locust plague, and perhaps the people would be agitated first when they had no rice to buy. ā
The corners of Huan Ji's mouth curled slightly, and said, "Xiao Feng, the branch of the Lanling Xiao Clan, right?" ā
Xiao Feng smiled: "Princess Mingjian." ā
Huan Ji continued: "The Xiao family master didn't understand what I meant, this is Qingzhou, not Lanling, and my Huan Ji will not be threatened by you." Listen, this place will be called Qingzhou City in the future, don't tell me about Bianzhou, there will be no Bianzhou in Datang in the future. If the head of the Xiao family wants to leave, Huan Ji Gong will send you away. ā
Huan Ji looked at everyone and asked word by word, "Is this what everyone here means the same?" Well, I am here to inform you today, I limit you to move out of Qingzhou within three days, I want to see if I can still live without you, and I will see off people. ā
Cheng Ying ran up with a team of guards, and Cheng Ying said, "Everyone, please." ā
When the head of the Xiao family saw it, he flicked his sleeves and left directly, followed by the head of the Lu family.
Seeing this, the others also left, only a few small people were playing each other's colors, some of them didn't want to be with the family, mainly because people didn't look down on them; Some people don't want to leave, and they are even more afraid of offending the princess, after all, there is their ancestral property here.
Huan Ji looked at the few people in front of him with a smile and said, "The one who knows the times is Junjie, let's sit down." I will never treat those who follow me badly, and you will understand how right your choice is today. Getting back to the point, let me tell you what I want you to do, it's actually very simple, I want to re-plan all the land and construction in Qingzhou, I need your cooperation, and have the money to help with the construction. ā
A fat man with a big belly got up and said: "Princess Qiyu, the villain's surname is Jin Wanguan, Her Royal Highness the princess will naturally not be missing us if she wants to build Qingzhou, we are all Qingzhou people from our ancestors." But now the most troublesome is the locust plague, we have also contributed money and efforts in the past two years, but locusts are still everywhere, often the dealer is eaten before it grows well, even we can't stand it. ā
The others nodded in agreement.
Another person said: "According to what the princess said, we have contributed a lot of money and efforts in the past two years, but why didn't the princess say it more clearly just now?" I think the head of the Xiao family is also willing to exterminate the locusts, although the princess just said that she is also contributing money and efforts, but why does it make people feel that the princess wants to take us under the door? ā
The corners of Huan Ji's mouth curled up slightly, and said, "I like to talk to smart people, let's be honest, I was going to get them out of here in the first place." It is more convenient for me to build and renovate Qingzhou when they are gone. I will establish a chamber of commerce in Qingzhou, and it will no longer be the Lanling Xiao family or the Qinghe Cui family that dominates in Qingzhou. I am the only one here, and you are the first backbone of the Chamber of Commerce. ā
The others were excited, and they all wondered what the princess meant by this.
Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Huan Ji continued: "As the first batch of backbones of the Chamber of Commerce, it is natural that you will not lose your benefits, and all the commercial projects developed in Qingzhou in the future will be done by you, and the specific details will be discussed later." As for me, I only collect taxes, excise taxes. ā
Jin Wanguan's eyes lit up, although he could only understand half of the princess's words, but he knew that this was an opportunity, if it really happened, they would not have no future in the future, and they would not be suppressed by the family gate valve again.
