191. Refusal
In addition to occasionally asking about the drought and the waterwheel these days, Mo Shu is more concerned about the farm.
Nowadays, the business of the cake shop can be described as excellent, but others can't help but blush, many people are openly and secretly saying that she was born in a family, but she is a chicken raiser and cares about farming or something, and there is no lady at all.
If this farming and raising chickens is enough, after all, Daliang is still based on agriculture, that is, the landlord, and it is also called farming and reading heirlooms.
But opening a store and doing business is a contemptible thing.
Since ancient times, the status of people who do business is the lowest, but a county lord has not ruined the reputation of Daliang to run such a cheap business?
Even if everyone thought so, and the courtiers were impeached, Emperor Liu Kai of Liang turned a deaf ear.
When these courtiers think about it, they understand the twists and turns. In the final analysis, it must be because of the Wu family. Now the Jin State Mansion has a large amount of white silver sent into the emperor's private treasury every month, how did this money come from?
Not in business yet?
If Liu Kai ordered the closure of the cake shop because Mo Shu opened a shop in someone else's name, saying that she was in business, engaged in cheap business, and lost the royal face, what would happen to the Jin State Mansion? If the Jin State Mansion is as good as a stream, like last time, he pleaded guilty and said that he was also operating a cheap business and had a negative emperor's grace, and he gave up and closed down all these original shops, wouldn't Emperor Liang's silver be gone?
Therefore, as long as the Jin State Mansion is still operating the industry to make money, everyone will not be able to accuse Mo Shu of saying a few words because of business.
Money is rolling in the store, but Mo Shu's main concern seems to be the matter of the farm.
The cakes in the shop are made from eggs, and duck eggs and goose eggs are rarely used, but Mo Shu does not tilt her attention to the chicken farm, but pays attention to the farm equally.
Even for the newly opened farm for raising ducks and geese, Mo Shu is a little more concerned.
Nowadays, the scale of the original farms in Zhongzhou, near the mountain villa and in various places has gradually expanded, and cake shops have also opened in various places.
Even so, there is still a surplus of this egg.
It stands to reason that now that there are enough eggs for cakes and there are surpluses, there is no need to worry about the lack of raw materials, but Moshu is still tirelessly expanding the scale of breeding. Not just chicken farms, but all farms.
Even the previous method was used to distribute chicken, duck and goose seedlings to farmers near the farm.
Mo Shu's original words were to hope that everyone could eat meat and eggs, but the people of the Mo family and the Wu family still felt that their own county lord was too eager.
It's been so urgent to push away a qiē social.
Including the invitation of Yang Liuli, the county lord of Yongle County, who was good with him, and his new friend Feng Yuan, the girl, was also turned down, just for the sake of this farm.
There is really no one like this.
And in addition to trying to expand the scale of the original farm, Moshu also plans to develop the farm to a new place.
For example, I have already been to Ludi once last time.
This Ludi is also the land of Wenxing, there have been many big families, and now the largest famous family over there is the Langya Wang family.
Last year, Mo Shu had the intention to open the chicken farm to Ludi, although she repeatedly assured the people of the Langya Wang family that it would not affect the local farmers and land, and was willing to buy or rent the wasteland used for the chicken farm at a high price, and could give chicken seedlings to nearby farmers, and even did not need them to hand over an egg, but under the instructions of the Langya Wang family, the local officials and landlords still refused.
In the face of the Wu family and the Mo family's apparent fact that they had conceded huge benefits, local officials still said that the Mo family was not welcome to open a chicken farm in the local area.
But after the beginning of spring this year, Mo Shu still sent people to Ludi again, still talking about the farm.
Because of Ludi's offshore water, this time Moshu mainly said that ducks and geese were raised there.
Wu Gao, the steward who went out that day, came back, and Mo Shu saw Wu Gao in the hall, his face was not good-looking, and he still didn't negotiate this time.
Wu Gao went to Ludi to talk about this matter, went to several counties, and got the same reply: disagree!
Before going to Ludi, Mo Shu had already thought that a big family like the Langya Wang clan had lived in Ludi for a long time, and its power in the local area had been deeply rooted, and he definitely didn't want to see others stir up on his own territory, so it was understandable not to agree.
Therefore, Mo Shu specially instructed Wu Gao that as long as he could open a farm there, he would try his best to meet the requirements put forward by local officials, whether it was asking for a high price to rent or sell land, or cooperative breeding, and the benefits could be shared equally.
Wu Gao only felt incredible when he heard it: "County Lord, do you accept the equal sharing of profits?" ”
Mo Shu nodded firmly: "That's right! ”
Wu Gao didn't understand this time, so the county lord didn't want to make a profit, but what other plans did he have?
Wu Gao didn't dare to think about it anymore, for fear of knowing too much, so he immediately bowed down and agreed.
Mo Shu thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, maybe the Wang family will still think that I have some intention to plant nails and develop forces in the past." If they still don't agree, we are willing to provide them with chicks and breeding methods, and let them run their own business! As long as they're willing to raise it! ”
Wu Gao was dumbfounded when he heard this.
This is the equivalent of giving money to others! Can someone else not agree?!
It seems that the county lord just wants to be able to raise chickens in Ludi, and doesn't care about anything else, why is this......
Wu Gao asked cautiously, "Is this ...... Do you want to talk to Hou Ye? ”
Mo Shu said: "This is my business, why should I tell my cousin?" You just do it. If you think you can't do it, I'll find someone else. ”
Wu Gao didn't dare to say anything more, and agreed repeatedly, and was ready to retreat.
Mo Shu stopped the people again and said, "In the past, even if they didn't agree, don't be angry, just say it well, as long as you can do it." ”
Wu Gao muttered in his heart, why did the county lord have to go there to open a farm? Why do you want others to open it even if you can't open it yourself?
Even though he had many doubts in his heart, Wu Gao did not show it and retreated.
After going back, Wu Gao thought about it, but he still told Wu Ziheng about it.
Unexpectedly, Wu Ziheng's reaction was to let Wu Gao do what Mo Shu said: "If there is such a thing in the future, you don't have to come and report me." If there is a next time, you know what will happen. ”
Wu Gao's heart was full of guilt, and he immediately pleaded guilty, and then set off for Ludi.
It's a pity that this time it's just as bad as last time.
Mo Shu looked at Wu Gao in the hall, frowned and said, "Still didn't work out?" ”
Wu Gao bowed his head and replied: "The little one is useless, I have spent all my thoughts, but I still haven't done it, even if the little one said that the chicken seedlings are provided for them to raise for themselves, the officials below at that time were still very happy to look at it, but after a night, they still refused." Still...... And a lot of nasty things were said. ”
Mo Shu was silent, knowing that the people of the Wu family would never lie on errands, and they must have told the other party in a good voice.
It's just that the other party doesn't buy it.
Mo Shu was silent for a moment, sighed, and muttered, "Langya Wang's ...... Forget it, I've done my best. No wonder me. Steward Zhao has been angry a lot this time, and he will give you more reward money at the end of the month. ”
Wu Gao couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and said, "It's okay for the little one, it's just the Wang family's ......."
Mo Shu interrupted Wu Gao's words with a wave of his hand, and said, "They will regret it." (To be continued.) )
