When the big business came to the door, the clerk was in high spirits, and immediately invited his superior, Chief Hu, to come out and talk to Zeng Dakang in a good voice.

Zeng Dakang said that he was hungry, okay, eat first and then talk.

Of course, if there is no hard food after eating, then let him spit out what he has eaten!

The office is close to the government office---- which shows the extent of the power of the southeast province!

There are the most snack stalls in front of the government office, and after a while, a plate of braised donkey meat, a big bowl of hot and sour soup, and a plate of white flour steamed buns are steaming and fragrant.

Zeng Dakang ate it unceremoniously, like a whirlwind, and soon ate a fine meal.

Then he said that he had eighty men in his hand, and he was of the same clan, and one of them fled into Taiyuan City, without food and clothing.

There was a great drought in Shanxi, and the imperial court was so poor that it had no money for disaster relief, and there were several cars in Taiyuan City that pulled dead people out every day!

Zeng Dakang was begging for food on the street, he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, he heard passers-by talk about recruiting people in Southeast Mansion, and thought that he was desperate, so he came to try his luck, this guy was a little cunning, and he heard about the "introduction fee"!

Then he learned the good news: "If more than 50 people are introduced, the introduction fee for each man is 800 coppers!" ”

800 * 80 = 64,000 copper, that is, 64 hanging coins, according to the current price of one tael of silver = 1,500 copper, there are nearly 43 taels of silver.

Zeng Dakang was overjoyed, but he had concerns, needless to say, 64 hanging money, it was a heavy death, even if it was 43 taels of silver, it was a lot, it was too obvious, if he took these copper coins and silver out, there would be trouble!

This guy wants to monopolize the referral fee!

I'm not afraid that he wants money, I'm most afraid that he doesn't want money, as long as he can get things done, what is the money!

The office said that it was a special case, as long as someone really brought eighty men to Southeast Asia, 43 taels of silver? Give him four taels of gold!

Okay, let's talk about it!

Four taels of gold are not easy to carry, it is not visible and not easy to expose, Zeng Dakang was satisfied, so he was accompanied by two clerks, and Chief Hu also went to look for the clansmen on the side of the street.

It was miserable, a bunch of people were lying on the ground, all of them were hungry to the bones, the children were weak, and the adults didn't even have to say anything to answer.

found the patriarch Zeng Ankang, and heard that Zeng Dakang had done this, Chief Hu said: "As long as you sign and draw and send to Southeast Asia, you will be given food immediately, and you will be able to manage your fill!" ”

At this point, Zeng Ankang responded numbly: "Okay! Good! Good! ”

So Chief Hu told everyone to help the old and the young, and went to the stronghold outside the city, where a big mule and carriage shop rested for a while.

When they got there, the clerk had already prepared gruel and hard buns, plus side dishes.

Sign and draw here, and give food there!

Then he rested and lived in a large shop, had enough for three meals a day, and also arranged a bathhouse bath, and was given clean coarse cloth clothes.

The Zeng clan people were ignorant and made a deed of sale to Southeast Asia, because in the past few days, people have come to the stronghold, "saving enough" 300 people to leave, so they have not set off yet.

As a result, a Zeng clan man met a fellow villager on the street and said that many of our fellow villagers were digging coal in the Datong mining area, living a good life, and earning five taels of silver a month!

This side is in Datong, and the other side is going to leave their hometown, and the Zeng clan people have repented!

The patriarch Zeng Ankang secretly connected and asked everyone to prepare to leave tomorrow.

They were hiding from Zeng Dakang, but fortunately, Zeng Dakang had a brother who told him about it, which Zeng Dakang thought at the beginning that this was very good, mining earns five taels of silver a month, and he doesn't have to leave his hometown.

However, when he touched the hard object on his body--- two taels of gold, the office paid him half of it, and the other half was given when he arrived in Southeast Asia.

Gold yes!

These four taels of gold, can buy more than 20 acres of land, the small people don't talk about gold, even silver is rarely seen, if the small people show gold, there is no reasonable explanation, will be arrested by the government for the crime of unknown sources of funds, it is not child's play!

This southeast government office is gold, and it is conceivable that they are strong!

The more Zeng Dakang thought about it, the more frightened he became, he got up in the middle of the night to pee, quietly found the office staff to tell him, and wanted to return the two taels of gold to him!

The office staff was taken aback and said that they would report to their superiors, but let Zeng Dakang take the gold first.

Zeng Dakang came back to sleep in the bunk less than five minutes after going out, but he didn't sleep well all night.

After dawn, the Zeng clan finished breakfast and slipped away in batches.

First of all, the woman and the child said that they were ready to leave their hometown and go out to see.

Okay, no problem!

But when the man wanted to go out, Chief Hu appeared, followed by four local government officials!

Everyone in the Zeng clan can't leave, let's talk about it.

Everyone sat down, and Chief Hu said: "Look at your appearance, you don't want to fulfill the treaty, okay, no problem!" ”

Hearing this, the people of the Zeng clan were surprised and delighted, I couldn't imagine that the people of the Southeast Mansion were so refreshing?!

"But!" Chief Hu stretched out his voice and said, "You eat ours, use ours, how much it costs, how much you have to pay back!" ”

"Let's follow the military system, one ding a day and one bucket of rice, you have eighty dings, and we don't count women and children!"

"Three days!" Chief Hu settled the account and said: "A total of two hundred and forty buckets of rice, according to the price of rice in Taiyuan City, one bucket of rice is three taels of silver, give us back seven hundred and twenty taels of silver, let you go, there is no second word!" ”

"Ahh The Zeng clan almost fainted!

After selling it, they couldn't afford to pay back the huge sum, and some people said angrily: "You are deliberately buying and selling at a high price!" ”

Chief Hu pointed his finger outside and said, "You go and see the price of rice outside!" ”

The man was speechless!

In the early years of Chongzhen, the price of a bucket of rice was four dollars of silver, and now in the ninth year of Chongzhen's Shanxi disaster, a bucket of rice reached three taels of silver!

And in Henan Province, where the peasant army and the official army have repeatedly tug-of-war, a bucket of rice reaches fifteen taels of silver!

You don't have to buy it if you have money!

"Brother, don't be the wronged one!" Chief Hu sneered.

Then the messenger said: "If you can give you the money for food, if they don't let them go, we will definitely interfere!" ”

It's just a joke, you can give seven hundred and twenty taels of silver, and you still need to sign a deed of sale?!

Chief Hu asked, "Since we have invested so much, we have been observing you, and if we find that something is wrong with you, we will stop you." ”

He was excusing Zeng Dakang and explaining their origins, and then Chief Hu asked: "Okay, why did you leave?" Can you find a better food than we can? ”

Zeng Ankang said: "When I met a fellow villager, I said that I would go to Datong to mine coal, and I would pay five taels of silver a month!" He crossed his fingers.

Oh, no wonder, meet peers! Chief Hu laughed and said, "He lied to you!" ”

"As far as I know, as long as you go to the coal mine, you will dig coal underground, and you will not see the light of day, let alone the salary, and it is good to eat well!" Chief Hu revealed the so-called old bottom road of coal mining, hehe, the southeast province and the coal diggers are grabbing labor, the difference is that the southeast province is kind, after all, Yan Dashao wants to have long-term peace and stability, and those who dig coal are purely a hammer business, using the relationship between the villagers to deceive people, come to the villagers to see the villagers, with tears in their eyes, and give a knife in the back!

The Zeng clan was skeptical, and then the messenger said: "I can tell you, I have never heard of coal blacks digging coal making money, only coal bosses can make money!" ”

To put it mildly, the Zeng clan couldn't afford to pay off their debts, so they had to travel obediently and take a boat to Tianjin Wei to Southeast Asia.

Naturally, they arrived in Southeast Asia and did not disappoint them, and they were happy to do what the Southeast Prefecture said.

In the tide of people moving from the mainland to Southeast Asia in the southeast province, Yan Changwu's official status brought him great convenience, but there were also some officials who did not believe in evil and touched the tiger's buttocks.

For example, the new governor of Fujian, Wang Daochun!
