Chapter Seventy-Six: Interests

In a small courtyard behind Wuwei Zhai, Yuwen Wen sat on the top of the room, and the people below were all the small land snakes in Xiyang City in the past.

Li Fang, who was the leader, participated in Yuwenwen's circle to do business, and their life as followers was much better than before, the old order was broken and the new order was quickly established, as long as they were obedient, they didn't have to worry about eating meat.

"Once the autumn harvest is over, there will be a lot to do soon." Yu Wenwen said loudly, seeing that everyone was looking at him, and continued: "I said it at the meeting of the state government this morning, don't have any doubts. ”

"Envoy, we will do our best to do everything we can for Bazhou." A fatter man said, and the rest of the people nodded, the first one is in Bazhou, but he is calling for wind and rain, and no one dares to disobey the yang and the yin.

Because the previous group of people who did this have already been beheaded for public display, of course, Yu Wenwen is not a person who loves to kill, since there are people who know the times and are willing to cooperate, then he doesn't mind making a fortune together.

"The embankment on the north bank of the Santai River needs to be repaired, so a lot of stones are needed, and cattle are needed to cultivate the wasteland, seeds, and farm tools, and the more the better." Yuwen Wen talked eloquently.

"This year's autumn harvest is to preserve the harvest, and the loans borrowed by the people can also be repaid to the shopkeepers, and by the beginning of spring next year, there will be more people borrowing and farming, and the official does not want anything bad to happen."

"Please rest assured, we will definitely keep an eye on the bottom, and there will never be any usury!" Everyone slapped their chests crackling, everyone has seen Yu Wenwen's methods, everyone is in Bazhou, all in Jiangbei, and no one dares to have any bad intentions.

"Ren Changshi and Xu Beijia have said it, and the official just reminded everyone again, don't cut off your financial path for a little profit." Yu Wenwen tapped everyone present again.

He knew very well in his heart that if it weren't for his father's status, if he hadn't been the assassin of Bazhou, if he hadn't had soldiers in his hands, the people here wouldn't take him seriously.

To raise soldiers, you need food, and the more soldiers you have, the more food you need, and to increase production and income, you have to expand the area of farmland, and in Bazhou, a place with many lakes and bordering the Yangtze River, you have to build water conservancy to cultivate farmland.

Having water is a good thing, because it can irrigate farmland and grow rice, but too much water is also a bad thing, because flooding will also make people lose their crops, Yuwenwen has made up his mind to control the Santai River, which often has heavy floods, so he needs to concentrate all his efforts.

The most trouble-free way to repair the embankment is the pure rammed earth embankment, but this kind of earthen dam will have all kinds of 'side leakage' after a few years, and the embankment on the north bank of the Santai River that is about to start construction cannot be a tofu slag project, which requires a large amount of stone, and the expansion of other places such as Yanji and Wuzhoushu requires a large number of stones.

Yu Wenwen outsourced the quarrying work to a few people here, and the wooden boats full of stones went down the river in the mountainous areas of Ba Shui, either entering the Santai River and transporting them directly to the embankment construction site, or leaving Bakou directly to Yanji in the south of the Yangtze River or Wuzhoushu downstream.

Convenient transportation, cash on delivery will never be in arrears, it is nothing more than more people needed for quarrying and gravel, and the financial road given by Yuwenwen does not sound good, but the profit is real.

Of course, this alone is not enough, Yu Wenwen decided to 'make profits', so that the local big families on his side can taste the sweetness, that is, the meaning of making a fortune together.

There is also a cloth business, Yuwenwen's Hulin Army is a bottomless pit of 5,000 people, and the intensity of the drill is very strong, resulting in the soldiers' uniforms are often damaged, although it is impossible to throw them away as soon as they are broken and continue to wear them, but they can't consume the daily crawling and rolling, so Yuwenwen outsourced the Hulin Army and the state soldiers' uniforms, of course, to some of the people here.

Of course, the materials should be real, the quality of the clothes can not be bad, and those who fail to pass the inspection will be rejected, if anyone dares to bluff, there will be no good fruit to eat.

There is also the supply of all kinds of non-staple foods, five thousand fighting men practice day and night, and the meat consumed is not a small amount, although Yuwenwen has opened a pig farm, but it is far from quenching the thirst of the near, so he also let the capable people here be suppliers.

Whether it's chicken, duck, fish, goose, pig, mutton or anything, as long as it's fresh, there is no problem with how much meat is collected, of course, the preservation ability of this era is very poor, so the receipt is basically live, as for all kinds of eggs, there is no problem.

The demand of the army is huge, and there are already plans to open chicken farms or fish farms and other farms, and Yu Wenwen also strongly supports this kind of 'entrepreneurship', in order to make everyone have confidence in being a supplier to the army, he sent people to make a contract after careful verification.

Of course, it is also necessary for the supplier to provide all kinds of poultry and livestock on time and in quantity, considering that this year's chicken fever and swine fever are indeed a headache, and there is a certain flexibility in the delivery time to allow a postponement.

But in any case, there is a degree, if anyone dares to abscond with money or come to a trick such as an empty glove white wolf, Yu Wenwen will personally lead the soldiers to teach him how to behave.

Of course, if each family has a way to sell food, it is not begging, as for the necessities of salt, the more the merrier, if you can sell iron and even war horses and other important 'strategic materials', Yuwen Wen not only accepts all but also sends pennants.

However, there are no wealthy businessmen in Bazhou, and all of you here are ordinary local 'little tyrants', and you don't dare to have much hope for whether these things such as salt, iron, and war horses can get Yuwenwen.

But he wants to give hope to the other party, let the other party know that 'as long as Yuwen makes you good, then everyone is good', and truly feel that as long as you follow him, there will be meat to eat, and only with interests can the cooperation between the two sides be stable.

Yuwenwen's energy is mainly focused on training soldiers with soldiers, and the trivial things make the locals in Bazhou also 'benefit from the interests', to make them feel that Yuwenwen's raising of troops is good for them, and then they are looking forward to the victory of the Hulin Army, then his foundation in Bazhou can be considered solid.

That is, the so-called interest group, although Bazhou is a small place, and Haoqiang's quality is not very good, but it just allows Yuwen Wen to practice how to carry out 'interest bundling', it is unrealistic to kill Haoqiang, gate valves, and families in this era, so it is necessary to use another method to strengthen their strength.

After some rubbing, Yu Wenwen wished all the 'suppliers' present a wide range of financial resources, and only after they all retired did he take a long breath, stand up and rub his legs that were already numb, and move his limbs.

He is still not used to 'sitting', so he has to sit if he doesn't sit, just like he doesn't like being strong and has to deal with it, killing a batch and winning a batch and then beating a stick to give a sweet date, this method must be skilled as soon as possible.

As the second son, Yu Wenwen's situation is a little delicate, the Shannan states have a lot of stalls, so they occupy a lot of human resources from his father to control, and the rest has to be given priority to the eldest son Yu Wenming, so Yu Wenwen, who doesn't want to be only a rich man, has to rely on himself.

He must develop his own 'circle of friends' and build a strong team by himself, first of all, not to pull his father and brother back, and then fight the tiger and his brothers to help his father resist the huge pressure.

Not to mention the little emperor Yuwen Qiankeng in Yecheng, the clan of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been almost killed, and the adult is his father and son, and there are three minors, two of whom are still babies, and the danger of exterminating the clan has never been far away.

Of course, there are also those surnamed Yuwen, Yuwen Shu, Yu Wenhua and father and son are two of them, but that is not Yang Jian's goal, since the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Liu Yu was conceded by Chan to kill Emperor Sima Dewen of Jin Gong, and it has become an iron law to clean the royal family and clan of the previous dynasty.

The Three Kingdoms returned to the Jin Dynasty, and Cao Huan, the late emperor of Cao Wei, was established as the king of Chenliu, and the kingdom of Chenliu continued until the Southern Qi Dynasty; Liu Chan, the queen of the Shu Han Dynasty, died after eight years of Anle Gonggong; Sun Hao, the late emperor of Sun Wu, died after four years of returning to his fate.

The late emperor Sima Dewen Chan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was suffocated to death in less than three months, and since then the royal family and clan of the previous dynasty are no longer treated favorably by the new dynasty, and the Liu family was also slaughtered after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Gao royal family did not escape the doom after the Zhou Dynasty destroyed Qi, of course, the non-threatening clan survived.

'So is it retribution for the Yuwen Sect to be slaughtered by Yang Jian? Yuwen Wen sometimes thinks like this, Yang Jian slaughtered the Yuwen Zhou clan, and later the country changed, and the Yang Sui clan was also killed to the point of blood.

The brutal power struggle is like this, and it is no longer clear who is right and who is wrong, so Yu Wenwen doesn't want to be a loser.

There was a knock outside the door to pull his thoughts back to reality, and after saying "come in", the door opened, and it was Wang Yue and Li Fang who came in.

Wang Yue nodded and said yes, the previous backlog of glass mirrors and other goods has been 'cleared', and the soap that Li Fang is responsible for has also been sold smoothly.

As for the three glazed products, they are naturally very popular, especially the 'Hundred Birds Chaohuang Glazed Screen', the other party can't buy it if they want to.

Today's Chen Guoxin's official family Chen Shubao, its queen Shen Wuhua has long fallen out of favor, and Chen Shubao's favorite is the concubine Zhang Lihua, and the 'Hundred Birds Chaohuang Glass Screen' is specially customized for this Zhang Guifei.

Of course, Yu Wenwen doesn't have any thoughts about this, he puts himself in the shoes of all the big people in Jiangnan, Chen Shubao has been very fond of Zhang Lihua in history, and later even asked Zhang Lihua to help deal with the government, it is more important than anything to please this favorite concubine in front of the Chen official family.

It is too common to send gold, silver, jewelry, money and the like, after all, you give it to others, and it is not interesting to blindly pile up the number, to make Zhang Guifei happy and ingenious, the meaning of a hundred birds and a phoenix is no better.

So I can't help but think that those Jiangnan shopkeepers don't buy it, these few owners behind them are considered to be in a group, if they don't buy it, others will naturally buy it, and it is the top priority to dedicate the treasure to Zhang Guifei.

"Envoy, that glass screen is sold for a sky-high price," Li Fang said with trembling in his voice here, and he watched the process of bargaining between Wang Yue and Wu Shopkeeper and others.

Looking at the sky-high asking price and paying back the money one by one, the fierce bargaining was mixed with skills such as "wanting to catch and indulge" and "wanting to welcome and refuse", Li Fang felt that he was really a frog at the bottom of a well in Bazhou.

"The cost of the glass screen is not small, it took several months to make it." Yuwen Wen smiled, "It doesn't matter, the craftsmen's skills are getting more and more proficient, and it won't take too long." ”

"Even so, this screen is a treasure!" Li Fang was full of praise, he was stunned when he saw the glass screen for the first time, the birds on it were lifelike, especially the phoenix was full of momentum, and it was no wonder that Wu Shopkeeper and others tried their best to buy it.

Yu Wenwen nodded, but sighed in his heart: Of course it's a baby! My Lihua is the project director of "Hundred Birds and Phoenix", and it took a lot of effort to complete the production, this is the glass screen blessed by the authentic phoenix, and the Lihua in Jiangnan has made a lot of money.

"Everything is as usual, what Chen Tongjun needs will be handled immediately tomorrow."

Wang Yue nodded, Yuwen Wen spent a lot of money to raise soldiers, and the money earned from trading could not be saved for long after he got it, and a large part of it had to be transferred to the barracks and treasury, and the expenses of five thousand people were not a joke.

After saying for a while, Wang Yue and Li Fang retired, Yu Wenwen walked to the courtyard and looked at the night sky, shook his head and turned away after a while, muttering to himself as he walked: "The money is not enough, it is not enough" (to be continued. )
