Chapter 172: Difficulty
In troubled times, people's lives are cheap.
In Jiangbei, many times a human life is not even worth a nest.
Jiangnan can still be called coarse now, but it is still not expensive due to the impact of the displaced people in Jiangbei.
Maybe the children in front of me who are expected to be sold to Himein are the people with the highest prices
Those who are eligible to be bought as skinny horses are exceptions.
However, Xu Shiyang did not really buy these children, mainly because he did not carry much money with him, and it was also a problem to buy so many children where they lived.
Xu Shiyang planned to find an opportunity to discuss with Wen Zhong and other main battle factions how to appease the displaced people in Jiangnan after he returned.
So, Xu Shiyang asked a lot of questions, and after getting the answers, he didn't pay a penny, leaving a few people with tangled faces, and left satisfied.
"Big brother, who is this kid" A thug came to the side of the man and asked in a low voice: "He asked east and west, but he didn't give the last one, it's too ......"
"Fresh face, but we can't afford to mess with it." The man replied, "Tell your brothers not to provoke him when you see him in the future." β
People think they are very accurate in seeing people.
The guy just now was tall and sturdy, steady at the bottom of the plate, white and neat teeth when he spoke, obviously he didn't worry about eating and drinking since he was a child, and he was a practitioner.
There is no gold and jade inlaid on the waist, and there is no favorite aromatherapy folding fan of Jiangnan Gongzi, but it is equipped with two iron pipes that I don't know what it is used for and a gorgeously decorated Japanese knife.
Coupled with the eyes that regarded human life as ants, Ren Yan felt that the person just now should be the kind of person he was most afraid ofβheroes, or pirates.
The gentry are big, although they can't afford to be provoked, but they still want some face on the surface, as long as they don't take the initiative to find death, ordinary people don't bother to pay attention to them green-skinned lepers.
But heroes or pirates are different, for whom killing a man is not a big deal at all.
Moreover, the business of the two sides will occasionally overlap a little, so don't talk about taking the initiative to cause trouble, as a green-skinned leper, even if you don't provoke them at all, you have to confirm whether the other party has taken the initiative to provoke you.
Fortunately, the little brother didn't come to ask for trouble just now, he had to answer all the questions just now, and he didn't lose his manners.
While relieving himself, he once again instructed a few thugs around him: "I always feel that there is going to be a big problem in the market recently." A few days ago, when the Tartars entered the city, a good man was so frightened that the Tartars almost fell off their horses! β
"Yes, yes, yes! I've heard about it, too! β
"You're happy!" Ren Yan scolded in a low voice: "What kind of good man do you think we are here, the kind of heroes will show mercy when they see us"
"When you see a new face recently, don't make trouble!"
β¦β¦
Coming out of that Fengyue Street, Xu Shiyang went directly back to Wenfu, and after this trip, he estimated that he had run a little more than 5 kilometers.
There are people of such a scale and such a scale in such a close place to the mansion of Duke Wenxiang, which really makes people feel that the Great Zhou Qi has been exhausted.
Back in the small courtyard where he lived, Xu Shiyang learned that Gong Wen had personally taken Xu Shiliu to the academy opened by the Wen family, and Xu Shiliu would spend a long time there in the future.
Wen Zhong had also gone to the court, and he wanted to start cooperating with Xu Shiyang's plan to cut off the Grand Canal and rob the fleet of the coins, and postpone the departure date of the fleet until mid-September as much as possible.
and several of Wen Zhong's younger brothers, who also followed Wen Xianggong to the academy.
At this time, the male owner who stayed in the Wen Mansion, Xu Shiyang didn't know anyone, as a guest, he naturally couldn't run around the garden, so it was too easy to collide with the Wen family's female dependents.
Therefore, he returned to his house and continued to think about concrete measures to implement the next phase of the plan.
As half of the secretary, Zhao Lin was in charge of taking notes, and Xu Shiyang walked back and forth in the room, saying as he walked:
"You can open a good hall and find the Wen family and the families of other main battle faction officials to work together, so that more displaced people can be recruited at a lower cost."
"Well, maybe the Li family will also want to intervene, and a good reputation will be very helpful to their family's recruitment plan. However, it must be ensured that they are not allowed to be intercepted, and that they are not mixed with sand. β
"The question is whether the displaced people who have just fled from Jiangbei to Jiangnan are willing to return to Jiangbei."
"It's an important question, sketch rough!"
"You can't let the core population feel resentful, you have to find a way to channel their emotions, and you have to find a way to let them know that Qi Province is safe."
"Well, maybe it's time to set up an art troupe! Also, I want to build an upright organization that belongs to me, and I want to deploy Zhengwei in the new army and society! β
"It's just that the program of integrity needs to think carefully, don't dig a hole for myself, after all, I am not a cloth party, and there is a high probability that I will take the imperialist line in the future."
Zhao Lin was very obedient and quickly recorded, she was used to ignoring the new terms that Xu Shiyang popped up from time to time, and didn't think about what these words meant.
She knew that she only needed to do a good job as a secretary now, and if she needed to explain, Xu Shiyang would definitely tell her in the future.
"How can I make people feel safe?"
"Hmmm......"
Xu Shiyang thought for a moment and continued:
"The best thing to do, of course, is to achieve more and bigger victories and let people know that Tartars are not terrible."
"Well, now there are Tartars in Lin'an City, do you want to kill them, so that I can definitely make a name for myself in the whole of Jiangnan."
"Well, it's worth considering! But it's a little tangled, I really want that 1.6 million! Killing them all now will not affect the northward movement of the year's coin fleet?"
"Forget it, don't dwell on this question yet. Even if they don't kill the Tartars, when they stop the fleet and cut off the canal, the Tartars will definitely go south to retaliate, and as long as they can win a large-scale battle, all problems can be solved. β
"Next......, well, now that I'm going to build an organization with integrity, I need to develop my own talent."
"Learn! Learning is very important! Build a school in the ZoC Zone! Children aged 7 to 11 can attend school for free, children between the ages of 12 and 16 work and study, and over 16 years old go to night school! Lao Tzu gives food subsidies! Lao Tzu is rich now! β
"Well, but where do so many qualified teachers come from?"
"I'll ......"
Xu Shiyang lay on the bed in frustration, wanting to cry without tears.
"Ten years of trees, 100 years of people." Zhao Lin raised her pen and said with a smile: "Husband, you are too anxious. β
"yes, I'm in too much of a hurry. It will take 28 years for the people on that boat in Nanhu to complete the first step of the Long March, how can I compare with them, in this case, why am I in a hurry?"
Xu Shiyang jumped up again:
"Go on."
"There is no teacher to build a professional school, this key point is to note, although it is very difficult, but if you know the difficulties, you have to find a way to solve the difficulties, and you must not be intimidated by the difficulties!"
