In the lobby of the Wu Mansion, Wu Gu sat on the main seat. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at the people on the seats on the left and right sides of the next head and was about to speak, but he heard the sound of footsteps.

Wu Hu saluted respectfully to Wu Gu: "The head of the Qiqi family, after our counting." During this period of repeated battles, the survivors of my Wu family's soldiers were only 380, and 420 people were lost."

"Four hundred and twenty". Wu Gu repeated the number, and his tone was extremely low. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the loss of his own family was so huge.

Everyone in the house gasped, this is just the loss of the Wu family, if you add the county soldiers. Doesn't that mean that almost every family in Chao County wears linen and filial piety.

At this time, the sound of footsteps came again, and Wu Li bowed to Wu Gu: "Master of the family."

"How is the matter of my brother's investigation of the money and silk in the house?" Wu Gu hurriedly asked Wu Li.

Wu Li thought for a while, and then sighed: "The losses in this battle are heavy, and there is still 3,000 grains for a while, but I am afraid that the money and silk will be insufficient."

"Lack of money?". Wu Gu was shocked, he almost saw the scene of countless family members of the soldiers who died in the war coming to ask for funeral expenses.

Wu Li explained to Wu Gu in detail: "I, the Wu family, have always been benevolent, in order to ensure that the soldiers of the family fight bravely to kill the enemy, and increase the cost of burial. The loss this time is heavy, and I just made a rough estimate, which is about three million dollars, that is, three hundred gold. However, in my Wu family's mansion, there are less than two million dollars, and I am anxious to raise money to appease those family members."

"That is, there is still a shortage of millions of dollars." Wu Gu showed a sad face and asked Wu Li.

Wu Li nodded slowly, and affirmed to Wu Gu: "Millions of dollars, but if the head of the family reduces the burial expenses of those soldiers who died in battle, it may be barely enough."

"By no means, those soldiers shed blood for my Wu clan, how can my Wu clan give less money because of temporary difficulties." Wu Gu vetoed the proposal without hesitation.

Then he seemed to think of something, and looked around: "Wu Shang is doing business abroad, maybe he can raise some money."

"The head of the Qiqi family, some time ago, Wu Shang wrote a letter, saying that he made a profit of 500,000 yuan a year last year. Now I am rushing to Fuzhong with the money and silk, and I expect to be able to arrive in a few days." One stood up and bowed to Wu Gu in reply.

Wu Gu nodded slowly, and the man sat down: "In this way, there is still a shortage of 500,000 yuan."

"If you are short of money, why don't you sell some food? Now that the Marquis of Hefei is in a big war, the price of grain will surely rise sharply." Wu Ji, who was sitting on the lower right, proposed to Wu Gu.

Wu Gu looked at Wu Ji and thought about it a little, obviously thinking fiercely in his heart. Nowadays, the world is gradually chaotic, and food is the most important thing. But if you don't sell food, how should you deal with the families of those soldiers who died in battle?

Seeing Wu Gu thinking, everyone was silent and didn't say a word.

Wu Hao thought about it for a while, and felt that selling grain at this time was indeed a clever way to solve the dilemma at this time: "Uncle's words are reasonable, and my father can sell grain first to stabilize people's hearts."

"There are only 3,000 grains in the house, if you sell 500,000 yuan of grain, then how can I eat the whole Wu family." Wu Gu thought of the 500,000 yuan of grain, and only felt a burst of pressure coming, almost suffocating. After all, a hue of grain can only be sold for more than 200 yuan, even if the grain of Hefei Houguo rises in the war, how much can it rise.

Wu Hao thought about it again and analyzed to Wu Gu: "Why didn't my father divide Liang Mi, if there is Liang Mi Qianhu, in addition to the price increase of the Hefei Houguo War, it is not difficult to pay 500,000 yuan."

"Liang Mi?". Wu Gu was stunned and fell into deep thought. In peacetime, the price of Liang rice is 400 yuan, and 10000 yuan can be exchanged for 400,000 yuan.

The so-called Liang rice is high-quality millet, Wu's harvest of grains over the years, but it is not difficult to separate thousands of Liang rice from the inventory of 3,000 Hu. Therefore, Wu Hao offered a plan, as for the remaining inferior millet, it can be used to feed the people in the house.

Wu Fei nodded again and again while listening, and subconsciously agreed: "The words of the third brother are reasonable, my father can send someone to the Marquis of Hefei to sell Qianhu Liang rice."

"To go to the Hou Kingdom of Hefei, the only way to cross Chaohu Lake, but there are many people in Chaohu Lake, and this matter is too important. Therefore I intend to go in person, and at the same time send two hundred soldiers to escort me." Wu Gu thought for a moment and immediately made arrangements.

Everyone nodded, agreeing with Wu Gu's arrangement.

Seeing that this matter was resolved, Wu Hao immediately spoke again: "Selling grain can only quench your thirst, but my Wu family is far ahead. Now that most of the 800 elites have lost most, it is the best policy to expand their strength. But the wealth in the house was almost exhausted, and there were only 2,000 pieces of food left. Therefore, the child proposed, after selling food, gather my Wu family soldiers to crusade against the water kou. First, it can level the water and protect the peace of the people. Second, it can be incorporated into the water and expand the family soldiers. Third, we can send the people to cultivate fertile land, so that our Wu family will have abundant grain."

"No, at this time, my Wu family has suffered heavy losses, and almost every family in Chao County is wearing linen and filial piety. The priority should be to recuperate, not to start a fight." Wu Ji objected without thinking, and looked at Wu Hao, his tone mixed with a hint of sternness.

Wu Li also hurriedly came out to dissuade: "There are many water gangsters in Chaohu Lake, and it is really difficult to exterminate them with the strength of my Wu family."

"Hao'er, the words of the two elders, can you hear them." Wu Gu nodded slowly, feeling that what the two said was reasonable, and then looked at Wu Hao.

Wu Hao didn't expect that the plan he had been thinking hard about would be blocked, but he thought about it. At this time, there was something inappropriate, so he retreated and begged: "The words of the uncle and uncle are reasonable, but the child is not thoughtful." But there are nearly 1,000 people in the house, and how long will 2,000 grains last? Looking at the land of Chaoxian County, if the fertile land is Chaohu Lake, in this case, why didn't my father send a few people to try to cultivate fertile land."

"Why don't you want to be a father, but it's not a lie that there are many water cowards." Wu Gu thought of Chaohu Lake and showed a sad face.

Wu Hao took the opportunity to continue to propose: "There are many water cowards, but it can be said that there are only three stocks that threaten our family, two of which will not dare to act rashly in the name of my Wu family, and the last one is far away from my Chao County." My father sent a few people, and he sent his family soldiers to guard them, and he should be safe."

"This?". Wu Gu fell into deep thought, his eyes were full of entanglement, and he couldn't make a decision for a long time.

Wu Hao saw Wu Gu hesitate, and spoke again: "If my father feels that something is still wrong, you can divide them into two, so that the fields will be scattered." The output is scarce. It is useless for a large group of water robbers to rob it, but it will attract my Wu clan's revenge more than worth the loss, and as for the small group of water robbers, it is foolproof to have a family guard guard."

"Just according to your word." Wu Gu thought for a moment, thought of the fertile land of Chaohu Lake, and then nodded.

looked at Wu Long and Zhong Qiu, who was sitting beside Wu Hao, and made arrangements: "Zhong Qiu leads fifty family soldiers, and Wu Long leads one hundred family soldiers." You two have each recruited people in the county to go to the reclamation, and everything is important to save the lives of the people."

"No". Zhong Qiu stood up and bowed down at the same time as Wu Long to receive the order.

Wu Gu looked around, feeling that the matter had been discussed, and then said: "Everything is over, everyone is scattered."

Everyone stood up, bowed, and then rushed out.
