Chapter 49: When can I eat more meat?

Although Wangcai doesn't know what Zhang Yang is crazy about? However, since it is a flamboyant order, it is absolutely obeyed.

Soon Wangcai called Wang Yan over, but when he heard that Zhang Yang was going to live outside the city, Wang Yan was still a little worried, after all, it was far from home.

"Senior sister, we are people who want to work for the welfare of the people of the world, how can we give up because of our own selfishness? I'm the little grandfather of the British government, I'm not afraid of hardship or tiredness, what are you afraid of? ”

Wang Yan is right to think about it, she is just a langzhong, and she is not afraid to go out of the city even if she is a young grandfather, so what are you afraid of?

was fooled by Zhang Yang like this, Wang Yan went home to pack her things, and after a long time, she came back with a small bag.

Zhang Yang asked Wangcai and Zhaocai to get on the carriage and horses, and all the borrowed silver was loaded into the car, and went all the way to the Jingxi Defense Camp.

The institute was moved to Xiaoyangzhuang, and Zhang Yang began to build a large number of buildings, build houses and warehouses, collect medicinal materials, and 20,000 taels of silver flowed out like flowing water.

Fortunately, Xiaoyangzhuang of the Jingxi Defense Battalion is the property of the British public, otherwise his little money on the land alone would not be enough.

And Wangcai, with a whip in his hand, finally understood why Zhang Yang moved the research institute to the Jingxi Defense Battalion.

Zhang Yang said on the surface that it was to rectify military affairs, but in fact this was to catch cheap strong men, and the 6,000 people of the Jingxi Defense Battalion worked for him in three waves, and the wages were pitiful, but no one dared to say anything, after all, Zhang Yang was the top boss here, and he asked them to work in the name of military training, what can he say?

Of course, the flamboyant flatbread is still beautifully painted.

"Everyone listen to me, these houses have been built, a hundred chickens stew a hundred pots of Chinese cabbage, open to eat, open to drink, I have enough to drink, of course, when my research institute is profitable, I will not forget everyone, as a soldier under my hands, others eat bran, you must give me rice and noodles, others eat rice, you have to give me meat, eggs, understand?"

"My lord, you talk about making profits all day long, when will you make profits?"

"yes, when can we eat more meat?"

"Okay, don't shout, this piece is covered, didn't the little grandfather say to eat another meal? Be content, idle is idle anyway. ”

Seeing that everyone had dispersed and gone to work, Wu Yong and Zhang Yang said goodbye and went to supervise the work again.

In the palace, Emperor Jiajing's bedroom, Princess Rongxiang sat opposite him, the brother and sister had not seen each other for a long time, and they were very close.

"Luan'er, do you have something on your mind?"

"Brother Huang, I lent Zhang Yang money privately. You really don't blame me? ”

Jiajing suddenly smiled.

"This Zhang Yang, because he thought of it, actually went to you to borrow money, but if he took it, he took it, if he didn't pay it back, I would naturally settle accounts with him."

Princess Rongxiang was a little nervous.

"Brother Huang, he also wants to do something good for everyone, if he really can't do it, don't treat him for offending, right??"

Seeing that Princess Rongxiang actually interceded for Zhang Yang, Jiajing's expression had a hint of playfulness, but this expression was fleeting and was not noticed by Rongxiang.

"If you don't punish the crime, you won't punish the crime, the money will always be returned, and presumably the British Duke will not owe me any money, alas, speaking of which, someone has reported to me about Zhang Yang in the past two days."

Princess Rongxiang looked a little nervous.

"He can't be doing something wrong again, is he?"

Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but laugh.

"It seems that you also know that he is in trouble, but this time he didn't cause trouble, but he arrested the people of the Jingxi Defense Battalion to build a house, this kid is very shrewd, saying that he doesn't want me to contribute, but the money and people are not from me? What did he do? The white wolf with empty gloves is a good game, but I guess he has almost spent the money in his hand, and I'm afraid he will go to you again. ”

"Shall I lend it to him?" Princess Rongxiang asked worriedly.

Jiajing smiled again.

"Borrow, why not? If he takes it back, he can still give him some interest, but if he borrows it again, he will have to charge more interest, and he will give it too low. ”

"Oh, okay, I see."

Zhang Yang of the Jingxi Defense Battalion couldn't help but sneeze.

"Who cares about my money, master?"

Wangcai hurriedly handed Zhang Yang a handkerchief.

"Second little grandfather, we don't have much money."

"Huh? It's only been more than half a month, and the money is gone? Are you corrupt? ”

Wangcai hurriedly shook his head in fright.

"Second little master, you remember all the money, I just have the heart and the guts."

Raise your eyebrows.

"What? Do you really dare to worry about my money? ”

Wangcai was frightened and cried, and puffed to his knees.

"Second little grandfather, I am loyal, and I have absolutely no heart for corruption."

Of course, Zhang Yang knew that the money was about to bottom out, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, he really didn't expect that the cost of building a house would be so large, more than half a month, there were only 500 taels left of 20,000 taels of silver.

In fact, it is not a big expense, watching a large number of buildings rise from the ground, these are their own industries, and Zhang Yang still has a sense of achievement.

"My lord, there is a man named Lu Wen who asks to see you."

Zhang Yang was originally lying on the chair basking in the sun, but when he heard Lu Wen, he stood up directly from the chair.

"Who are you talking about?"

"Lu Wen, it seems that he is a businessman, and he seems to be quite rich."

Zhang Yang laughed.

"It's really sleepy to send a pillow, this Lu Wen is too timely, please come soon."

The soldier went down and quickly brought Lu Wen over.

The ancient merchant had a humble status, and when he saw Zhang Yang, he hurriedly knelt down and bowed.

"Hurry up, please get up, Brother Lu doesn't have to be polite, you don't have to be polite haha."

Zhang Yang's dedication to money doomed him not to discriminate against businessmen, but the soldiers next to him and Wangcai saw that Zhang Yang was so polite to Lu Wen, but they glared at Lu Wen angrily, and Lu Wen, who was frightened, stood up but still bowed his head deeply.

"Brother Lu, don't be like this, everyone is equal, come and sit. Wangcai, why don't you hurry up and show me Brother Lu? ”

Reluctantly, Boss Wangcai moved a stone from a distance and placed it behind Lu Wen.

Boom......

"Sit down."

Lu Wen was flattered, although the status of merchants in the middle of the Ming Dynasty had improved to a certain extent, but this was the first time he had encountered this kind of treatment.

"Thank you, sir."

The more Zhang Yang looked at Lu Wen, the more pleasing it was to the eye.

"I don't know what Brother Lu is looking for me?"

"That's the case, some time ago, thanks to the care of adults, the little girl was able to save her life, and she has not been able to repay her, and she feels deeply guilty, and this time I came to thank you."

As he spoke, Lu Wen took out a package behind him.

"My lord, this is a hundred taels of gold, not a tribute."

Zhang Yang stretched out his hand to cover the package and waved his hand.

"With a gesture, why be polite, not to mention that your medicine is also bought, bought and sold, honesty is the foundation, I can't accept this money."
