The big families of this year are not the same as those of later generations. In later generations, even if there are rich people, it will be almost the same to employ dozens of employees in the mansion; And in this era, the number of people in the family is in hundreds, and the number of thousands is also very common, and there are all kinds of service occupations, and there are many categories, tailors and theater troupes are all standard.

Therefore, mahjong tiles are difficult for big players.

After learning that this thing was out of stock for the time being, several large families immediately summoned carpenters and carvers - Lao Tzu did not agree with his own words.

Although the bamboo mahjong tiles that came out at the moment are not as smooth and high-grade as the samples, they can also be played, right? So it only took a few days of hard work, and the "domesticated" carving team of the big family quickly opened: it was not worth a few dollars, and relatives and friends had to send a few paintings there.

After learning the news, Yu Bende was in a very urgent mood. However, it is useless to be anxious, and he now has more urgent things to deal with: the Yu family has quarreled among themselves first.

The current situation is that the eldest and second eldest of the Yu family said that mahjong is a good business, but Yu Bende thinks that toilet paper is good: although it seems that this industry is a bit low, but it is undoubtedly more promising, so everyone quarreled.

After two days of arguing, the pressure from toilet paper users suddenly increased: large households could produce mahjong by themselves, but they couldn't produce this kind of soft paper, so the pressure on the customer's side was naturally transmitted.

In this way, he helped the Yu family choose a project: if you don't hurry up, you will offend people. What's even more terrifying is that if any gentleman doesn't care about the matter and is willing to wade into the muddy waters of "toilet paper"; Now that the workshop has not yet opened, and the Yu family, which has not yet started to operate, it is easy to incur some kind of saturation blow......

So Yu Bende immediately decided: if you don't choose, you will do the toilet paper industry, which is suitable for our family's identity!

After unifying their thoughts, the Yu family immediately began to act.

First of all, the boss who was a low-level errand servant in the yamen was responsible for realizing the family property: although the Yu family had accumulated for several generations, and the family foundation was quite thick, it was impossible to take out more than 10,000 taels of cash at one time. In addition to the ones stored in the house, you also have to pawn a few properties, and then borrow from your good friends to be able to count.

The second unemployed homeless person begins the preliminary preparations, such as recruitment.

As for Yu Bende himself, he is responsible for honestly going to Xiong Daofu to report the results, finalize the follow-up matters of the workshop, and provide various professional consultations on land acquisition.

.....

At this moment, in Luo Yuan, there is a tense atmosphere of the demolition headquarters.

The four walls of the lobby are all hung with land acquisition maps, and different color blocks have marked all the land along the coast of Gaoqiao Town.

These colour blocks represent different land properties, and not only the area of the plot, the topography, but also the information including the landowner and the actual owner are also on it, so that it is clear at a glance.

In the side room, the tents are busy, and the materials after verification are still being sent in a steady stream. Xiong Dao's ambition is quite large, and the core area of one square kilometer is far from satisfying his desires, and he hopes to do as much land census as possible around him.

Although it sounds very fantasy to buy land in the Jiangnan area, people who usually can't reach the level of Xu Jie, Xu Ge Lao don't dare to have this kind of dream; But who is Xiong Dao? Behind him is an ambitious empire, so Master Xiong is bent on trying the market this time to see how deep the water is in the Jiangnan region.

The complicated work of collecting information was very laborious, and it took several days just to transcribe the materials from the county government, and it was necessary to check them one by one afterwards.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were not only bullies and gentry who occupied official land for nothing, but also a large number of small and medium-sized landlords, tenant farmers and yeoman farmers. There are many small households living on a few acres of fragmented land, land property rights are different, there are many hidden fields, in short, the work equivalent to a small-scale land census is very cumbersome, and it takes a long time to perfect the information.

So when Yu Bende came to the door with the silver, he saw this busy. Fortunately, his two apprentices were here as temporary consultants, so Lao Yu quickly figured out the situation.

After meeting Master Xiong in the study, Yu Bende first took out the first share capital of 5,000 taels of silver, and then he signed a contract to open a toilet paper workshop on the spot.

Now it's time to get down to business.

After following Xiong Dao into the lobby, Lao Yu first carefully studied the map color blocks on the wall for a while: he had never seen this kind of straightforward information expression before, but he quickly got used to it, and he was full of praise for this way of marking.

Next is the explanation of Xiong Dao. Xiong Dao, who was holding the whip, pointed at the map while revealing his plan.

It was only at this time that Yu Bende figured out the true scale and purpose of Master Xiong's large-scale acquisition of land - the news he got before was vague and concealed, and now the reason why it was made public to him was because everyone signed a contract and became their own.

However, after listening to Xiong Dao's grand cause for a while, Yu Bende couldn't stand it: "How many people are you going to fight against?" ”

So he couldn't help but interrupt Xiong Dao's explanation: "Don't hide it from the master, this kind of land purchase offends too many people, and it's really a bit appalling." ”

"It's okay, it's not a day, just take your time." After hearing this, Xiong Dao used his whip to draw a circle along the river outside Gaoqiao Town: "Let's first get the core land of the port, and then slowly expand." ”

"Even so......" Yu Bende twisted his sparse beard and muttered: "Dare to ask Master Xiong, the main owner of this land and opening the port, but General Cao of Fujian?" ”

As early as the early days of Tangzhuang's business, Xiong Dao played the banner of the agent of a certain pirate leader in Fujian. After Cao Chuan was recruited, this banner was officially revealed: the business is getting bigger and bigger, and the immigrants are collecting more and more, if Cao Chuan doesn't recruit An, there will be problems here at Hangzhou Station, so anyone who cares can now inquire about the background of Xiong Dao.

And at this moment, when Yu Bende asked this sentence, Xiong Dao immediately understood what he meant: the enemy army is too strong, and if there is any hidden boss, you can tell it now.

"The main lord is General Cao." Xiong Dao nodded without hesitation: "A few days ago, my general received the grace of the imperial court, hung up the rank of deputy general, and opened the mansion in Xiamen. Lao Yu, is it enough? ”

"Enough, enough!" Yu Bende didn't expect that the general from Fujian had already opened the mansion, so he quickly nodded again and again.

The meaning of Xiong Dao's words, Yu Bende, as a person in the system, can understand: the general who has been clearly assigned a fief by the imperial court, that is, the army of the Eight Classics, the military department has to make a military register, and it has to send out some military records, and it is no longer the kind of black household that does not even have a establishment after surrendering.

In a sense, the status of the Cao Jiajun is now equivalent to that of the Guanning Army, a regular army recognized by the Ming Dynasty.

In this situation, a general with a heavy army, even if he is a big man in the court, will not easily handle it, let alone an ordinary gentleman - if he is in a hurry and then force the Cao family to rebel, who will carry the rotten pot in the southeast half of the wall? Is it true that Chongzhen won't kill people? Isn't that who was chopped off......

Therefore, as long as the current Cao Chuan does not make any big news about rebellion and planting flags, it is simply forced demolition and forced relocation, bullying and dominating the market, forcibly robbing a people's daughter, or something, the court will not even ask.

That's why Yu Bende said enough: since the BOSS is powerful enough, then no one will come out to openly block Xiong Dao's port opening plan, at least in the official face.

You must know that after Zheng Zhilong in history recruited An, he also bought land and built mansions in Fujian - Chinese-style expansion, both civil and military.

......

Seeing Yu Shuban nodding again and again, Xiong Dao continued to speak. After he pointed to the map and finished the plan, Yu Bende first confessed his guilt, and then studied the map silently for a long time before putting forward his suggestion.

Yu Shuban first divided the demolition object into two parts. He did not divide the official land according to the private land, but ingeniously divided the group of people according to property: the grass people and the official eunuchs.

The grass people here included all yeoman farmers, tenants, and small landowners, while the eunuchs included all those above the middle landlords.

Here, Yu Shuban put forward a strategic idea: all the grass people were to be handled by him and his apprentices, the tooth people, and all the eunuchs were handled by Xiong Dao himself.

Yu Bende's thinking is very clear: what are the strengths of Xu officials? Deceive the upper and lower, intimidate and deceive, collude and collude, and oppress the small people. That's right, all the skills of the officials are useless in front of the eunuchs.

However, when dealing with those grass people who are illiterate in big characters, Mu Mu Nana, and regard half an acre of land as larger than the sky, Xu officials can come in handy.

You must know that these grass people are very numerous, and if the elites under Xiong Dao go door to door, it will be a waste of resources, and it is a local official like Yu Bende who is familiar with the horse to go out to be a professional counterpart - in the eyes of the grass people, he is a great official.

"Lao Yu, Lao Yu, it's worthy of being old and bad, this plan is very good and powerful!" After hearing this, Xiong Dao couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, as long as you work hard, I can reward you with the shares of the workshop in advance." ”

Speaking of this, Xiong Dao reached out and patted Lao Yu's shoulder, and then he walked to the map and smashed his fist on a certain map representing the coast: "Lao Tzu will take Zhang Sutan tomorrow!" ”

And Yu Bende also came over in time, and smiled and took the whip around a certain plot: "Master Xiong, please set aside the silver, and I will go to Zuojia Village tomorrow." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, don't have it, just have a lot of silver."

......

That night, in a small courtyard in Luo Yuan's back house, Xiong Dao paced in the room while dictating the contents of the telegram.

The dispatcher sitting next to him quickly sent out the content: 50 additional members of the operation team were sent to our office...... By the way, he piggyback on 200,000 taels of silver as a start-up capital...... Please pay close attention to public opinion...... Keep informed......
