Today, the yamen of the Dengzhou prefect is particularly lively, but all the landlords who have land and land at home are invited to drink tea in the yamen.

These landlords are rarely obese, and all of them look shrewd and capable.

Deng Long observed behind the curtain for a long time, and all these landlords sat honestly on their chairs, and none of them spoke.

"Alas! It's hard to get it! ”

Deng Long sighed in his heart, but his face didn't matter.

Bringing these rich people together today is for a great thing!

Unable to find the flaws of these guys, Deng Long didn't continue, tidied up his robes, and Shi Shiran walked out.

As soon as these landlords saw Deng Long come out, they hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Deng Long didn't put up a fight, walked over affectionately, and said a few words to everyone.

These are the treasure chickens that will lay golden eggs in the future, and Deng Long is naturally positive.

After Deng Long finished talking to the last person, he returned to his position and looked at the landlords with a smile.

In Deng Long's impression, the landlord either robbed a farmer's chick, or raised the land rent in the disaster year, in a word, it was so bad that there were sores on the top of the head and pus on the soles of the feet!

But the landlords in front of him, their hair is empty, and they know the way to protect themselves.

Now the world can be described as stormy, and one bad one is the end of chaos in the world.

So these guys repair bridges and roads on weekdays, scatter grain in disaster years, and as long as they have the opportunity to perform, they will never miss it.

In this way, the peasant families say that they are not grateful, which is false, these landlords have become great good people, the government does not dare to move, and the bandits are too lazy to rob the strange existence.

These guys don't seem to have a lot of money, but after several generations of accumulation, they must have a lot of money buried in the ground, and the money cellars dug up from time to time in later generations may be buried by these guys!

Deng Long sorted out his thoughts a little, and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "I invited you here today to tell you a great plan to make a fortune, so as to comfort you for your good deeds on weekdays!" ”

Everyone present was a good person, although Deng Long spoke well, but no one spoke, sat quietly on the chair, listened to Deng Long's words, and went home for dinner.

Deng Long scolded secretly, but said quietly on his face: "I know that you are usually very taboo about court officials, but you can't kill a boatload of people with a rod. Okay, without further ado, let's talk about getting rich.

We all know that the Silk Road was cut off by the Western Xia and the Great Liao Kingdom, and we lost a golden passage. For more than 100 years, although there are occasional caravans in the Western Regions, the price of goods is several times higher than that of the former Tang Dynasty, among which spices are the best-selling and valuable spices of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

This is one of the old landlords who is over half a hundred years old and has gray hair, and said: "My lord said something, but he mastered a business way? ”

As soon as the old landlord finished speaking, most of the people below had a look of expectation in their eyes.

Deng Long shook his head, and everyone suddenly sat on the chair as a wooden man like a deflated ball.

"We don't need to think about overland business, and even if there is, it is impossible for us to find out. What I'm talking about is reopening a maritime Silk Road, connecting the countries of the Western Regions, and finding a way for us to make money, what do you think? ”

The status of the old landlord among these landlords is not low, Deng Long just finished speaking, and then said with a wry smile: "Don't laugh, my lord, in today's world, there are mountain bandits in the mountains, there are water thieves in the water, and pirates are naturally indispensable in the sea." If you encounter mountain bandits on land, if you are lucky, you can still end up with a whole corpse, and if you are at sea, you will be fed to the fish.

Coupled with the monstrous wind and waves on the sea, the fierce pirates, and the ten merchants who went to sea, one of them can finally come back alive, and that is God's eyes. If you want to do this, it's no less difficult than ascending to the sky! ”

The old landlord's words won the unanimous approval of everyone. They are all elites who live by the sea, and in the early years, they didn't have this idea, but after the people who went to sea disappeared one after another, they honestly farmed at home, and they didn't dare to think of the dream of going to sea to make a lot of money!

Deng Long said confidently: "There is a way to avoid hurricanes and waves at sea, everyone should know this, right?" ”

Seeing everyone nodding, Deng Long continued: "As for the pirates, it was indeed a ghost gate that had passed before, but it was ......! ”

Deng Long clapped his hands, and Li Jun, Er Tong, and Er Ruan, each of them carried four lime-pickled heads into the door.

Where have these landlords seen such a scene, and now they are either lying on the ground and vomiting wildly, or they have rolled their eyes and fainted directly, and the sour smell is permeating the hall.

Deng Long's eyes were straight from the smell, and he said to the few landlords who had not fainted: "These are the pirate leaders in the coastal sea, see if you know any of them!" ”

After speaking, he hurriedly escaped from the hall and took a few breaths of fresh air, which made him feel better.

Those landlords and old fortunes obviously had an intersection with these pirate leaders, and after looking through them, they recognized many famous pirates.

The servants cleaned the messy hall, lit incense, and the smell in the room improved, and then Deng Long returned to the hall.

The landlords who had fainted also woke up, and when they saw Deng Long coming in, their eyes suddenly became eager.

In the past, it was not these pirates who blocked the sea passage and made everyone abandon this trade route to make a fortune.

Well, now that these pirates have been exterminated by Deng Long, doesn't it mean that they can go to sea and make a fortune.

This time, Deng Long was not in a hurry, sitting on a chair, holding a small teapot, and drinking tea slowly.

The group of landlords got together and muttered for a while, and the old landlord took the lead and said: "The identity of the owner of the village is not a secret, and the old man thinks it's better to say it straight to the point!" ”

Deng Long nodded with a smile, these snakes are not simple characters, and it is not an accident to know their identity.

The old landlord paused for a moment and said, "Liangshan will definitely be injured when he exterminates the pirates. We discussed it for a while and decided to take out 100,000 yuan to support the soldiers! ”

Afraid that Deng Long would misunderstand, the old landlord hurriedly added: "Of course, this is just a little bit of our mind, and there is no other meaning!" ”

Deng Long smiled noncommittally, if Shen Wansan was so sensible, he would not have asked Zhu Yuanzhang to cut it.

The old landlord saw that Deng Long was no different, and continued: "We know that Liangshan opened up a sea trade route, and it is not a useless move, what conditions does the owner of the village have, even if it is proposed, as long as it is within the scope of our bearing, the conditions of the owner of the village will be met!" ”

Deng Long laughed at this time, they are all a group of smart people, and they don't need Deng Long to remind them, so they will have a showdown, so that Deng Long will have a lot less trouble.

These are all thought out in advance, Deng Long said directly: "We don't charge money for things that go out, but the goods we bring when we come back must be distributed to Liangshan Sancheng, not a single point less!" ”

Thirty percent of the goods are not much, but less is not much, in addition to their initial investment and capital, they can also make a three-point profit. Besides, they didn't dare to negotiate conditions with Deng Long, after all, in this troubled era, a hard gun is the main reason.

This time, the landlords discussed a general meeting and unified the decision, and then told Deng Long that this condition was acceptable.

Although there is a port in Dengzhou now, it is a wharf where small fishing boats dock, which is obviously not suitable for large merchant ships to go to sea, so the port must be built.

Therefore, these things have to be built by the landlord Lao Cai himself, Deng Long is not a good man and a woman, and he is a public servant for the landlord.

A port doesn't cost much, and the landlord Lao Cai happily agreed.

After discussing the issue of interests, it is natural to talk about the matter of business.

Deng Long didn't hide it, and said: "At present, the Liangshan Shui Division has opened up the trade route to the Japanese slave country, and the target of our first sea trip is the Ryukyu Islands and the Japanese slave country. But the goods brought back had to be something other than gold and silver! ”

Deng Long's profound words made these landlords wonderful, and the old landlord said: "If the owner of the village has something to say, he might as well say it clearly!" If we can do it, we will do it for you! (To be continued.) )
