The construction of Suzaku Castle is in full swing. Chen Wenhui found that her mother's vision is really good, Mei Ying is really a talent, and she should be no less than Bai in the future. As soon as she got started, she showed amazing talent, not only managed Tianshui City well, but also presided over the construction of the new city Yingzi City, although the progress of the construction was not as good as her own Vermilion Bird City, but it was also comparable to the Black Dan City of the Black Family.

Chen Wenhui is very happy, it seems that the second brother's achievements in the future should be no less than that of the eldest brother. Mother really found two good daughters-in-law. Thinking of this, Chen Wenhui began to read the letter from Xinguang City again. The eldest brother, Chen Wenjun, told her that because Chen Wenlin kept sweeping the natives of Mindanao and captured many people, they were all sent directly to the Japanese country by boat. Now the Wa Kingdom has the support of these manpower, and further controls the half of the Wa State. At present, half of the country is not only under the control of Chen Wenjun, but he also vigorously develops industry and commerce, handicrafts, and agriculture. Now the shape of the country is very good. In addition, Da Chu transported a lot of disaster victims to him, and he had people in his hands, so he naturally crowded out the people of the Japanese Kingdom in his own territory even more. The laws against the Japanese people became more and more harsh, and these native citizens of the Japanese could not survive in the Japanese country, so they had to leave their homeland and go to Nanyang to make a living. As a result, Chen Wenhui also got more resources for Japanese slaves. However, it alleviated the demand for slaves in Qingchun City and Vermilion Bird City.

In addition to these Japanese slaves, Chen Wenhui also found that there were many more migrant workers from Dachu in the city. The reason for this is that in order to solve the shortage of people in various workshops, some residents of the city have set up a transportation agency to transport those poor people from Dachu. They are then introduced to various workshops. Chen Wenhui couldn't help laughing, it seems that the intermediary will appear spontaneously wherever it goes.

Chen Wenhui not only did not suppress this phenomenon, but also actively encouraged it. Therefore, a new wave of migrant workers has spread in Dachu, and many poor people are willing to go to Nanyang to work. This also makes those bosses who are engaged in intermediary work make a lot of money.

Among them, the brother-in-law of the first big bull who was engaged in this business earned the first pot of gold. Da Niu's brother-in-law, Jiang Shishi, has just returned home, and now their family lives in the original home of Da Niu in Qingchun City. The yard is also large, and there are two entrances, so it is spacious and comfortable to live in.

As soon as he entered. His wife, Qi Yufen, asked, "How is today?" ”

Jiang Shi carefully took out a fold from his arms. It is a passbook of Nanyang Bank. Qi Yufen took it and looked at it, and immediately smiled, and the number on it increased again.

Qi Yufen asked, "The more than 1,000 people you brought to Dachu this time were handed over to the workshop owners of those workshops?" This is already the third batch, right? ”

Jiang Shishi said: "Yes, we brought in the first batch of 500 people. All of them have been prepaid in advance. As soon as I came, I went to the various workshops. These people. It was not in vain that I talked to them day and night on the boat about the benefits of part-time work, the benefits of making money and saving money, and it took a long time to sign a contract. In this way, you can learn things, make money, and have the capital to start your own business in the future, and become a rich man. So, these people, as soon as they went to the workshop, they signed a ten-year, five-year contract. Now I have all the follow-up deposits. In the second batch, when I had the capital, I hired two boats and brought in more than 1,000 people at once. They also signed contracts for five years and ten years. When it came to the third batch, I went to the first batch of people, and I was willing to bring money back to their families for free. These people were very happy and gave me their new pay. Back in Dachu, I worked tirelessly to send the money to each of the more than 500 people to their homes. As soon as the people in their family saw that they had already sent money to their families when it was only a few months, they were all moved, and they all felt that they could make money in Nanyang, and those who were hesitating did not hesitate anymore, and they all followed me to Nanyang. It's a pity that this third trip was hired with fewer boats, and only brought more than a thousand people. ”

Qi Yufen nodded and said, "Then you can go again, isn't that another lot of money to earn back." Our family has this money, so don't work so hard to open up the wasteland, directly buy thousands of acres of land on the outskirts of the city, and hand it over to Guida to take care of, how good it is that we can make money sitting in vain every year. ”

Jiang Shishi said: "Yes, I also want to live like that. However, I still want to buy a good house like the Gui family. Of course, we don't want a big mansion as luxurious as the Da Niu family, but it's still okay to be like the Gui family. ”

Qi Yufen smiled and said, "Then you go quickly." ”

Jiang Shishi said: "Don't do business now, like me to pull people to make money, we have several in Qingchun City." I don't think I can just pull people over. I need to be better than theirs. Best, I can ask a Xiucai to follow my boat in Dachu, and teach those people to know words on the boat. Do you know? Literate and skilled workers, workshop owners are willing to pay more. ”

Qi Yufen said: "That's okay, you can please." I remember that there was a poor Xiucai in our village, and the poor couldn't open the pot, in fact, he said that he was a Xiucai, but he only studied for a few years, and after so many years of exams, he didn't even pass the exam, and the people in the village laughed at him and named him Xiucai. If you invite him, he will definitely be willing, and he will not use much money. Those who really have a reputation for showing off their talents, who wants to follow you. ”

Jiang Shishi said: "Well, what you said makes sense. So be it. I'm going to hire three boats this time. By the way, I'm going to go to the people I've brought over and ask them if they want to bring some money to the family? In this way, more people will be willing to follow me to Nanyang. ”

Qi Yufen said: "The meals are ready, just waiting for you to come back and start the meal, why do you have to leave, no matter how anxious you are to make money, you have to eat." ”

Jiang Shishi laughed and said, "Yes, let's go again tomorrow." By the way, it will take me more than a month to go, and it will take two months, at that time, it is estimated that it will be June or July, and I may miss the marriage of fragrant flowers. The daughter is married, and she is married to the official director of Qingchun City, how can she not be there? What if my in-laws blame me? ”

Qi Yufen said: "It's good for the in-laws to be the director, and it's not bad to be an official, but my brother's daughter-in-law is also an official, although she is the deputy director, but she is closer to the city lord and the deputy city lord than the in-laws, don't you see that the in-laws respect my brother and daughter-in-law very much?" Don't be afraid of them. However, Xianghua is married to you, and your father is not very good. You can't just leave the money and make it. Like you said, there are a lot of people doing this business now, and there will definitely be more in the future. At that time, maybe it won't be so profitable. So, this can earn a trip is a trip. As long as we save enough money and buy land, even if this business is not profitable in the future, we will not be afraid, and we will not be afraid to live a poor life if we collect the big farm? ”

Jiang Shishi thought about it and said: "Okay, let's give Xianghua more dowry, and I will have more people to come to Nanyang when the time comes, so that it can be regarded as worthy of her, and it is more important to make money." Xianghua goes out, with your brother and daughter-in-law, you will definitely be able to go smoothly, I am actually the same at home or not. Let's eat. ”

Qi Yufen happily instructed the cook to set the meal. The two of them took the children and started eating.

Gui Da was also very happy that the new crop was harvested, and another farmer gave him a commission, watching more and more money in his passbook. He also began to discuss with his mother-in-law: "We plant land for others every day, and our own land is only a few hundred acres, is it too little?" Why don't we take the money now and buy land and come back? ”

Gui's daughter-in-law counted the fragments of silver paper and said, "What are you doing with money to buy land?" Now the land in Qingchun City is more expensive. The land on the edge of the city is seven or eight taels and one acre. Few people are willing to sell it if they are farther away, and even if they are willing to sell, they are all large estates, one or two thousand acres at once, and each acre of land costs about three taels of silver. We don't have that much money yet. ”

Gui Da said: "This is easy, we can take out another loan." Anyway, we won't do anything else, it's better to buy land. ”

Gui's daughter-in-law said, "I think I can buy some shops in the city." At the beginning, many shops only sold for about 1,000 taels. Now many of them have been sold for five or six thousand taels, and the rent has risen a lot. I think it's not good that our money can buy a shop and get rent every month without doing anything? ”

Gui Da thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense, so he said: "We don't have a lot of money, is that to buy land or to buy a shop?" ”

This problem not only troubled the Guida family, but also troubled the first batch of immigrants in Qingchun City, their hard-earned money, first bought land, and then saved money to buy a house, but in business, now the money is getting more and more, but the investment channels have become fewer, and they are beginning to worry about where to invest the money. Of course, there are also misers, who are not good at managing money, so they keep their money in the zài bank and get that pitiful interest every month. Such people are usually the object of ridicule. Because if you buy a field for the same money, you can sell a lot more of the crops you produce every year. If you buy a shop, it will be more trouble-free, there are more and more people doing business in Qingchun City, and the rental prices of various shops have also risen a lot, how pleasant it is to collect rent every month. As a result, more and more people tend to buy shops, and the shops in Qingchun City began to rise sharply. Because of the price increase of the shop, the price of all the goods in Qingchun City has increased, which has greatly affected the purchasing enthusiasm of the merchants of Dachu, which is not a good sign. You must know that Qingchun City lives entirely on this tax. Neither the agricultural tax nor the poll tax were levied.

Chen Wenhui discovered this situation in time. (To be continued......)
