Chapter 215: Putting Down Roots
"Too little, too little, do you know how big an industry it is?" Qin Chuan muttered and asked, he was just talking to himself, although Zhu Da was young, he personally ran the industry, of course he knew how old he was.
Zhu Da didn't continue to argue, just looked at Qin Chuan, the relationship was so close, there was no point in the clever defense, what he wanted to show was his sincere attitude.
The two sides looked at each other for a moment, Qin Juren sighed dejectedly, looked at Zhu Da puzzled and curious, and said, "How much mind do you have?" What you used to do was the small situation of the new village by the river, why do you suddenly look down on these things......"
Speaking of this, Qin Chuan sat up straight, looked directly at Zhu Da and said: "Child, there was an incident in Datong, the villager believed in the Taoist Gate, and inexplicably wanted to rebel, and gathered dozens of people to be the son of heaven, but he was exterminated by the patrol with archers, you must not have such a ridiculous ambition, that is the sin of the dead to exterminate the clan!" ”
Zhu Da was stunned, he didn't expect Qin Juren to think of this direction, he shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Father-in-law, I'm not crazy, I really have a big business to plan, if I can't do it, it's not like I won't come back." ”
Qin Chuan also shook his head, a wry smile also appeared on his face, and he said weakly: "Okay, it's good if you have this thought." ”
......
Early the next morning, Chang Kai came to the door to report the news, saying that Wang Jackal and others, who lived in the inn, were waiting at the city gate early before dawn, and left as soon as the city gate opened.
It is said that a few people went back last night and scolded in the inn, and some people and the guys in the inn inquired about Zhu Da, but there was a mistake in this, and the inn didn't dare to talk about it at all.
Because they couldn't ask anything, Wang Jackal and a few people were even more foul language, but a stalking deputy who pretended to be an idler, took the initiative to tell them about Zhu Da's deeds, and after listening to the deeds of the thieves and soldiers, Wang Jackal and the others immediately shut up.
"Those killers didn't even dare to sleep at night, they took turns guarding, and when there was a movement, they made a noise with their weapons, and they were so angry that the people who came with them scolded, and when they left this morning, their eyes were black."
Listening to Chang Kai's smiling narration, Zhu Da couldn't help laughing, this is the kind of bird that frightened the bow, in the past two days, he has some understanding of Wang Qiong's life and family background, since Wang Qiong is no longer in charge of martial arts, the Wang family's soldiers are too idle for more than ten years, looking at the age of Wang Hu's people, I am afraid that it is a family child, etc., Wang Jackal's habits are no different from those in the city, and when he heard such cruel and bloody deeds, he immediately shrank.
Of course, Zhu Da understood the flattering meaning of Chang Kai's door-to-door report, and when the gossip was finished, he said with a smile: "Old Chang, you don't have to worry about dividing up the land, I'll leave you a copy, and I'll be connected with my own." ”
The first half of the sentence made Chang Kai's face change, and the second half of the sentence came out laughing again, Zhu Da jokingly slapped twice, he didn't joke often, and it was really scary to open one occasionally.
"Lao Chang, the matter of the field is a foundation, if you want to make money, you have to do business, let's do it well, your benefits are indispensable." Zhu Da said again.
When he said this, Chang Kai laughed so hard that his eyes were gone, and he was suddenly promoted to the deputy head of the fast shift, and he could take a share of the good things in this big pie, Zhu Da also promised to take him to do business, with this young master's ability to turn stones into gold, I don't know how many benefits there are in hand, Chang Kai thought about whether he had done any good deeds, or asked for the right gods and Buddhas, and then he must continue to do good deeds, and then go to burn incense and worship Buddha.
Not long after Chang Kai reported the letter, Wang Hu and others came to the door again, this time there were no more than a dozen people coming, only three people came, they came to resign, the chat has already been talked about, presumably they planned to stay here before, and then the fast horse back and forth between Taiyuan and Huairen, in the Wang family's estimation, Qin Chuan, who has broken the family, is isolated in the county, the strength of the Wang family is worth relying on, I am afraid that Qin Juren also thinks so, but now the situation has changed, the previous plan does not need to be mentioned again, how to cooperate next, how to deal with it, it's not Wang Hu who can call the shots.
After sending Wang Hu and the others out, Qin Chuan also packed up, he called Li He to accompany him to the county government, and the plan set yesterday to collect the ownerless fields will be negotiated with the county magistrate today, and the reason why Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun are not brought is because "Don't frighten the magistrate, make a fortune together, why make a saber rattling." ”
Chang Kai just asked if he needed to lead the way, and he didn't insist after being rejected, Qin Juren went to the yamen, and there were so many characters in the three classes and six rooms that the characters came out to stammer, not bad for him, and it was right to make Zhu Da a good befriender.
"Brother Chang, how many people do you have in your hands now?"
"Three days ago, there were only six, but now there are twenty-seven or eight, except for the relatives of the master and apprentice, the white deputy is not very loyal, whoever is in power and who is willing to share it can do things with his heart."
Everyone can figure out the reason, it is nothing more than knowing that Chang Kaiba has become a deputy leader of Qin Ju and Zhu Da, so naturally many people take the initiative to come up.
"Help me do a few things, the first thing is to recruit single young people from all over the country and sign a death deed."
"This is easy to say, please rest assured, Brother Zhu, I will arrange people to go down, maybe there will be a reply in the afternoon."
"It's not as easy as you think, arrange for someone to go to the place where the Tartars are plagued, the weather is getting colder and colder, the outside is dilapidated like that, many people can't survive this winter, I want to recruit these people, if he has a family and a mouth, it doesn't matter, take it all together."
After Zhu Da said the news request, Chang Kai groaned, then nodded and said: "This is easy to say, it's nothing more than to recruit people don't disperse, just bring food over, but I want to remind Brother Zhu of one thing, although there are not many people left outside, but there is not enough place to settle in the city." ”
"The Fang family and the Yang family have a lot of industries inside and outside the city, give a fair price and take them all." Zhu Da had already made up his mind.
Chang Kai agreed with a smile, he didn't feel anything wrong, when Fang Ming and Yang Shouwen were clever and robbed, they should have thought that the properties they had purchased would also be taken away one day, with the current power of Qin Chuan and Zhu Da in Huairen County, it was natural to do such a thing.
"I see that there is a large vacant land on the side of the land temple in the south of the city, and we want that piece of land, if the price is fair, we don't need to bargain, just take it down."
"This is easy to say, but what do you want Brother Zhu to do with that piece of land, it is very dirty, there are a few shops on the street of the Fang family, wouldn't that be better."
"But there is no place as big as the Land Temple, and I really didn't know that there would be such a large vacant land in the city if I didn't enter the city."
Because of the memories of more than 20 years, Zhu Da subconsciously thought that there would be no waste of land in the city, especially in the central area, every inch would be utilized, Zheng Jiaji actually did this, and the land in the soil enclosure had its own purpose, which was quite neat.
But after coming to the county seat, the county walked around, and found that there is a large vacant land near the land temple in the south of the city, which is roughly estimated to be about a dozen acres.
Of course, this vacant land is not a complete vacancy, there are ponds with stagnant water, overgrown with weeds around, and the others are mainly garbage heaps, all kinds of dirty things are dumped directly here, the weather is still a little hot when Zhu Da came, the smell is extremely pungent, mosquitoes are even more wanton, I don't know how many years of accumulation.
Even so, in the immediate vicinity of the clearing, you can see shabby houses and simple shacks, and children in tattered clothes laughing and running around the garbage heaps.
Seeing this, Zhu Da has a clearer understanding of what kind of world he is in, no wonder many people in this era are used to retreating to the fields, rich and noble families like to build their own manors, and the environment in the countryside is indeed much better than in the city, maybe the city in the south of the Yangtze River is a little different, but Zhu Da has only seen this place now.
Unlike the farmers who farm outside the city, there are too few channels to make a living in the city, and the border trade and commerce are monopolized by Zheng Jiaji, so the county naturally does not have too many people, and the use of land is needless to mention.
"The third thing is to invite a master who knows how to build a house, and to invite an account office that can settle accounts and plan......." When he said this, Zhu Da himself muttered, there were thousands of things to do, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it.
Chang Kai was fine when he first listened, but when he heard this, he was a little dumbfounded, slapped his face and said: "My master, although you got a lot of silver back, you have to keep some foundation for preparation, is this going to spend it all?" ”
Zhu Da smiled when he said this, and replied with a smile: "There is more silver than you think, but you have to spend it." ”
Chang Kai agreed, but there was a distressed look on his face, people are like this, although they didn't spend their own money, but looking at the other party's messy flowers, they really couldn't see it, but Chang Kai immediately reacted, this young man is an expert in business, when did he lose his capital, he was willing to make such a heavy investment, it must be the entry of Jinshan Yinhai, think about it this time, he has not forgotten himself, and his own family will also be developed.
Thinking of this, Chang Kai couldn't help but smile, seeing that Zhu Da did not continue to instruct, he hurriedly said goodbye and went out to work.
"It's not going to be here in the past few days, Brother Zhu, the things you have arranged are not light."
"Let the people you trust come every day, maybe there is something to arrange."
When Chang Kai came out of the courtyard, Zhou Qingyun walked to Zhu Da's side, and asked after a moment of silence, "What are we going to do next?" ”
"Put down roots, so that our foundation can withstand the wind and rain." Zhu Da replied in a sullen voice, and after finishing speaking, he waved his fist vigorously and shouted: "Brothers, go and practice martial arts!" ”
