Chapter 257: Winter's Reserves
Wang Lanling saw that he couldn't move the county order, so he went to find the county order again.
It's just that Mrs. County Ling said very seriously that she knew, and said that she would definitely persuade Dongfang Wei, but after a few days, the price of coal was still like that.
Wang Lanling saw that the matter could not be violated, so he accelerated the training of his subordinate traders.
Early in the morning of July 20th.
At the Yushui Square in the north of Heishui County, Wang Lanling saw off the vendors who had learned the dialects of Yunshui County and Lingtong County.
There are a total of 20 of these people, all of whom are from the county seat, belong to small families, and can be considered a group of people who can read and settle accounts.
They don't belong to the poor family, they are ordinary city dwellers, with a little money and land, and there are no big problems at home, barely enough to eat and wear.
"Everyone, when you go out, you have to rely on each other and help each other, the business you do is to sell some omnivorous, there is also a saying in Heishui County, heavy rain will always fall to the next family, if others don't like what you eat, don't speak ill of each other, you can recommend one or two to the rest of the people, and say some good things."
"Don't be dissatisfied because you can't make money and don't have much business, from the early days to the present, if you have any difficulties, I am busy helping you out."
"I know that everyone believes in me and is willing to listen to me, and I can't see you when you go out, but everyone in Heishui County is the same."
"People who leave their hometowns and make money and do business outside will definitely be wronged and miss their hometowns, if they are not united at this time, who else can you trust?"
The vendors are all people who have treated the water with Wang Lanling, and they attach great importance to Wang Lanling's words, and they don't take Wang Lanling's age seriously, so they smile and smile.
Yanagi said: "My lord, please rest assured, we are all from the same place, and you have said these words to us dozens of times, and we have all remembered them. ”
Wang Lanling nodded and continued: "In addition to hoping that you will take care of each other, I also hope that you can be honest when you do business, as much as you want, although you can't be bullied, don't become profiteers." ”
Chi Donglai's nephew Chitie said: "Your Excellency, don't worry, as long as others don't trouble us, we will definitely not bully others." ”
Wang Lanling looked at Chitie and said with emotion: "You have all studied together, and you have all worked with me, now you have to take your wife and family out to do business, you must be more careful, you must not be fascinated by the prosperity of the city, enter the fireworks Willow Lane, or smoke houses and other places." ”
Chitie smiled and said, "We all know, you are more chatty than my mother!" ”
Wang Lanling also smiled and continued: "It's true that I've said it too many times, but there's still something to say. ”
Wang Lanling looked at these people very seriously, "I am busy with your affairs, and you are also clear, in the future, you will do business in Lingtong County and Heishui County, and I will always pay attention to it, and it is indispensable to talk to the locals for you." ”
"I'm doing this not only for you, but also for the people of Heishui County."
"In the future, when you make money, I don't ask you to thank me after you make money, and you don't need to thank me, you earned it yourself."
"But if after you have money, you look down on the villagers around you, and use the hard-earned money to harm the people of Heishui County, then I will not spare it!"
"I hope that when you get rich in the future, you will be able to return to your hometown and bring the people in the county to become rich together, instead of relying on the old and selling the old and cutting off the way out for the rest of the people when the time comes."
Wang Lanling is very aware of the difference between getting rich first and then getting rich, he chose to work with him, and he is a person who has worked hard for the construction of his hometown to become rich first.
With Wang Lanling's support and resource inclination, these people can easily become rich.
But if you dare to be rich and unkind, Wang Lanling will be replaced.
Liu Sheng, Chitie and the others quickly agreed, they were all people observed and selected by Wang Lanling, and most of them were young people.
"I won't say much nonsense, take care, I will ask the messenger of the post station to go to you every day to have a look, and if there is something, tell them, whether it is Lingtong County or Yunshui County, it is not far away."
"I'm not far from you."
Yanagi, Chitie and the others solemnly clasped their fists and saluted, bowed and shouted, "Take care, my lord!" ”
Yanagi took his wife and some people on board a boat bound for Yunshui County, where they kept the kitchen utensils they would rely on for their livelihood.
Chitie took his fellow villagers and friends on board a boat bound for Lingtong County downstream, and on board there were also kitchen utensils made for them by Wang Lanling, such as advanced iron utensils such as popcorn stoves and noodle presses, as well as various bottles and jars.
There were also the relatives, friends, parents, and people who knew about the incident and came to see them off.
The villagers waved goodbye to these family members and watched them slowly leave the impoverished county town.
Many people have never left the county seat in their lives, let alone been to the county seat, and for the older generation of ordinary people, the place outside Heishui County is far away.
Wang Lanling stood on the bank of the river and watched the boat leave here for Lingtong County, where the Zhao family could take care of them, and Lingtong County was a place out of reach for him.
It is uncertain whether the red iron will be able to establish itself there with people, whether it will be able to open the market with foods such as popcorn with ramen sauce, and whether it will be embarrassed by the locals.
Wang Lanling could only do something as much as he could.
The people in the north of the city have already started cooking, and the traders here have bought ordinary coal two yuan lower than the market price because of Wang Lanling's relationship.
It was not enough to be on the north side of the city, Wang Lanling returned to the Environmental Sanitation Department to listen to the reports of his subordinates about this period of time.
Yin Wuwu said: "My lord, according to my statistics, not counting today, from the opening of Yushui Square to yesterday, there are many more people who go to the north of the city to talk and eat every day, and now there are almost 100 people eating there every day, all of them are old people and women who have nothing to do, and most of them come to dry something on the ground and talk." ”
Drying things is a very common rural activity, and millet and wheat and corn are dried in the sun to avoid mold and insects.
Generally, people in the city lack a large enough space, many people live in narrow alleys, and the road is strictly controlled by the Department of Environmental Sanitation and the Department of City Patrol, so they come to the north of the city to dry things.
Wang Lanling didn't stop this kind of thing, so naturally more and more women and old women came here to dry things, drying things over and over again, while sitting on the ground picking up bad grains and chatting with nearby people for an afternoon.
Wang Lanling nodded and said, "It's okay, it's okay if there are more people, you take someone to repair a few seesaws and swings and other things in the square, and I'll go back at night to draw some drawings and give them to you tomorrow." ”
Yin Wuwu said puzzledly: "My lord, what's the use of doing this?" Those people don't understand how to watch, and the company's finances are not particularly good-looking at the moment, and many places are where adults are paying for you, which is not a solution. ”
"It's all about it, it's all about what it should be." Wang Lanling continued: "The main thing is to give children some places to play, and more people will approach after there are more people, just like a place to eat. ”
"In one way, human resources are traffic."
"For example, when we control the water, the people of Heishui County are a resource, and if it is a place with only a few hundred people in the poor countryside, it will be a thousand times more difficult for us to control the water."
"There will be more people, there will be more talents, there will be more money, there will be more taxes, although there will be more trouble, but this is a good thing."
Yin Wuwu doesn't understand very much, nor does he understand the human resources and traffic in Wang Lanling's mouth, his thinking is the thinking of this era, and he can't understand the logic that Wang Lanling thinks is very simple.
Not only Yin Wuwu couldn't understand it, but Hu Guiqiao, Tian Yuanfang and others couldn't understand it either.
Tian Yuanfang said: "What the adults said is that we obey orders. ”
Wang Lanling shook his head, "I have become less and less involved in the affairs of the Environmental Sanitation Department, so that you can think independently, and continue to lead the people in the county when I don't have anything to do. ”
"This kind of thing can't be what I say, I'm actually inferior to you in many places, you see where there may be problems, you should bring it up, you can't always think that I definitely know, I can definitely solve it."
"It's better to have more than one thing to do less."
There are many things that Wang Lanling himself can't understand.
It is a contradiction in itself to have to be 100% obedient and not to question their own orders, but also to learn to think independently and correct their mistakes at any time.
"Yes!" Wang Lanling himself doesn't understand, and of course the rest of the people don't understand either, this kind of thing can only rely on feelings.
Sometimes, it's really a matter of luck and talent, and no amount of words can teach you to understand, but it becomes more and more contradictory and confused.
Yin Wuwu saw that Wang Lanling had nothing to say, so he continued: "My lord, Zhu Wenyang and Jingfu said that Liu Fufeng's attitude towards them has been much better in the past few days, and he took the initiative to talk to them, and he wanted to invite them to dinner several times, but they all refused. ”
Wang Lanling nodded, "I see." ”
This kind of thing is known, Wang Lanling doesn't want those people to get too close to Liu Fufeng, and he doesn't want those people to be embarrassed by Liu Fufeng, since this is the case, then it's okay to know, there is no need to say too much.
Yin Wuwu continued: "My lord, will you still give Zhu Wenyang their salary next month?" ”
Wang Lanling also had a headache, "Money is not a problem, it's just that if I give it, I can't make sense of it, they are now working in the Water Affairs Department, and they are not taking the money given by the imperial court." ”
Since it wasn't Liu Fufeng's money, what excuse did these people have for staying in the Water Division?
Wang Lanling hired people to work in the water affairs department, which is unreasonable.
But if Zhu Wenyang and others resign and quit, they will smash their jobs and cut off their future.
These people can be regarded as benevolent and righteous to Wang Lanling, and Wang Lanling also knows that these people are also difficult to behave in the cracks.
"Forget it, Liu Fufeng invited them to dinner, let's go eat, take the money that should be taken, just say what I mean, this is a matter between me and Liu Fufeng, it has nothing to do with them, everyone is doing things for Heishui County, I won't favor one over the other."
Wang Lanling is also unwilling to let these people choose for themselves, if they really do this, it will be to let these people choose who to offend.
"If Liu Fufeng doesn't want to use them, come to the Sanitation Division." Wang Lanling added that he can still afford to support these guests now.
Yin Wuwu also knew the trouble here, and after having Wang Lanling's accurate answer, he put his mind at ease, and it could be regarded as a reply to those people.
After Yin Wuwu reported the matter, Hu Guiqiao stood up and said: "My lord, I have received a lot of IOUs these days, mostly receipts of a few cents, which do not add up to much, and I have accumulated three hundred and fifty-five yuan and six cents and three cents. ”
"There are already people in the hot water room and the mill who pay for it, and the receipts outside are gradually decreasing, and most of them are concentrated in some large households."
"At present, those who hold IOUs of more than 100 yuan have not asked us for arrears, and Yan Heyu, a cloth merchant in the city, came to me yesterday, saying that he wanted to invite adults to a meal."
Wang Lanling said calmly: "Forget about eating, talk to him, he contributed to the belt and food last time, I remember this matter, as long as I do business seriously, I will definitely help if I can, and I will return his money as soon as possible, so that he doesn't have to worry." ”
These merchants went out of the county to do business earlier than Wang Lanling's men, and they bought a large amount of cloth to sell, and at the same time, they would also buy some things in the city to sell.
There are no special products in Heishui County, if anything, it is agricultural products purchased from the countryside at low prices, such as shelf-stable corn, cotton, herbs, cattle scalpers, horns, snakeskins, insect corpses, and the like.
Because Wang Lanling has planted a large area of cotton land, he is currently asking Xu Baifeng to recruit female workers who can weave, maybe the cloth merchant just saw the waterwheel and loom by the river and had an idea.
As much as I don't like these mercenary businessmen, they are really needed now.
Hu Guiqiao nodded and said: "Yes, there is also the matter of credit, there is not much work for some people to do near the north of the city, because they know that they can eat without paying, and many people want to take advantage of this even if they have money." ”
Wang Lanling thought for a while, and quickly said: "Then let these people go to help transport the field fertilizer after eating, it just so happens that every household in the city has accumulated a lot of things and no one wants them, let these people help clean it up." ”
After thinking about it, Wang Lanling felt that there was something wrong with this method, so he patched it and said:
"You don't have to go to the north of the city to pay the bill, the biogas digester on the side of the hot water room is just short of fuel, and whoever brings a bucket of fertilizer from home and pours it into it will give him five cents to eat."
Hu Guiqiao quickly said: "My lord, in this case, I'm afraid that someone will pull something that doesn't need money to exchange money for us, and we won't be able to control it if there are too many people." ”
Hu Guiqiao expressed his worries, and he knew very well how active those who had no money would be when a bucket of fertilizer could be directly exchanged for money.
Wang Lanling said indifferently: "I am a favor for people to eat a good meal, so that poor families can also serve a bowl of good rice to taste, if some scoundrels and profiteers see the needle, isn't it the business of you people?" ”
"If morality can't restrain things, then use the law to restrain them, even if you use the fists and feet on your body, if this yamen has no authority, no matter how great the favor is, no one will remember it."
Hu Guiqiao is like an initiation, Wang Lanling has always been gracious and benevolent, so that Hu Guiqiao forgot that they were people in the yamen.
"Yes! Follow the teachings of the adults! ”
After Hu Guiqiao, the rest of the people reported the situation these days one after another.
There are problems with the messengers, there are problems with security and vendors, and there are some ordinary minor problems.
Tao Kun said: "My lord, when I went to buy vegetables these days, I talked to the rest of the guys, and recently several official firewood houses in the city have been filled with hundreds of catties of firewood, do we also have some here?" ”
Tao Kun said very carefully, not because of anything else, but because he knew that Wang Lanling was now everywhere to spend money, so he was a little embarrassed to bring this up.
He is a person who wants to do big things, and now he can't even solve this small firewood problem, and he has to trouble adults, which is really a bit ashamed.
Wang Lanling said suspiciously: "It's only been a few days since autumn, why did you prepare firewood so quickly?" ”
Tao Kun said: "I don't know, maybe it's cheap firewood now, it's all straw firewood that is not used to harvest corn and wheat." ”
When Wang Ni heard this, he said: "My lord, I also need some straw over there for the biogas digester, but this is not valuable, I can ask the Wang family for some in the field, and it will not be much." ”
Every household has a field, and straw is something that every family has, and others are willing to share a few bundles with Wang Lanling.
Wang Lanling thought for a while and said: "Most of the firewood I planted by the river and on the mountains were burned during the flood control, and there will be some problems with the fuel here this year." ”
"Bugong, you take someone to inform all households in the countryside, don't sell fuel for the time being, every household has some fuel to reserve for the winter, if the house is destroyed in this flood and has not been built, you can go to live on Hulu Mountain and spend this harsh winter."
"It's not for nothing, I help grow vegetables and fertilize a little, and look at the vegetable garden."
The evacuation area that was built before can still be used.
Not only the refuge area, but also some places where vegetables are grown, are also being maintained, and they have been circled into vegetable areas by Wang Lanling.
These areas, which were originally jointly administered by the Department of Water and the Department of Sanitation, are now part of the Department of Sanitation.
Bu Gong responded: "Yes! I'll go later! ”
Wang Lanling also looked at Bian Shiying, "Bian Shiying, you also inform the people of Zhuangzi that the price of coal has risen this year, and the firewood will definitely be tight at that time, so they will reserve some firewood for their own use, and if there is a surplus, they will also try to help the poor people nearby." ”
Bian Shiying clenched his fists and responded: "Yes!" ”
Wang Lanling looked at Wang Ni, "Wang Ni, you go to Wang's house to find some people, go to various Zhuangzi to teach how to make a biogas digester to cook a fire, and also explain the dangers of the biogas digester clearly, don't let children make trouble, and when you repair the mouth, it's the same as in the city, don't let people fall." ”
Wang Ni responded: "Yes! It's just that I'm not familiar with the countryside, and there are not many people who can make biogas digesters at home, so I can lead a team. ”
Tian Yuanfang said: "I know a lot of people, I will take you to Tianzhai Town, and when the time comes, let the people of Tianzhai lead you to the next place, so take one with you, everyone knows that you are a relative of Lord Wang, and it will naturally be convenient for you." ”
There is no shortage of labor in the countryside, especially now that it is autumn, and there are not many things to be busy in the fields, and many people can help dig pits and build walls, and a small shout can call a large number of idlers.
Wang Ni nodded, "Then it's troublesome." ”
Tian Yuanfang said with a smile: "Don't bother, now most of the people in the countryside have gone up the embankment with us, even if there is no me, if you go to the village for a walk, there will be people who are familiar with you." ”
Water control not only improved Wang Lanling's ability to rule, but also allowed a large number of people to gather and meet each other, eliminating some of the deep-rooted barriers.
The meeting continued for another ten minutes, and soon everyone had their own things to do, and they went to different directions to do things.
