Yu Guozhen's meaning is very clear, that is, he wants him to throw out a person to take the blame.

And he was originally a foreigner, relying on the means of concealment and deception to collude with the officials, this is just a collusion of interests, and he does not have many henchmen. No matter which one he throws to act as an outcast, it means that he runs the risk of being bitten back by the other party.

"Yu Gongzi...... Yu Gongzi, the student has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, don't remember the villain, just spare the student. He thought of the consequences, so he begged Yu Guozhen for mercy again: "Today's incident, the student knows that he is wrong, and after the student goes back, he will inevitably reflect deeply, and he will never dare to listen to people's words at will in the future......."

"Hand over the people who instigated before you, and I will see which one of them is so blind, that it has harmed me." Yu Guozhen said.

Seeing that Yu Guozhen was biting and not relaxing, Jiang Zhongliu didn't think that this matter would be so easy to solve, he gritted his teeth: "Isn't Gongzi Yu in need of a man's help here, and the student is willing to say that the Lord of Zhizhou will issue an official document to help Gongzi Yu and pay ...... It's defenseless if it's lower! ”

The government can levy conscription every year, generally speaking, to do some things to repair bridges and roads, but in the late Ming Dynasty, the local chaos occurred, and the big households forced the servants to work for themselves from time to time, and even became a common phenomenon in the Yangtze River area. The river opened this mouth, and the surrounding Qinzhou villagers suddenly buzzed and discussed, if this is the case, then the wages of these people may be in vain.

"My son-in-law is such a person who oppresses ordinary people, put away your disgusting face." When Yu Guozhen heard this, he didn't pay attention to him at all, Jiang An understood Yu Guozhen's intentions, came up and sneered: "You can ask these laborers, my son-in-law uses them, it is fair or unfair!" ”

"Justice, justice!" Those folk men suddenly shouted: "Yu Gongzi is a good person, the most fair!" ”

"Yes, there is never arrears of wages, and those who work more will get more!"

"There is fish and meat in every day, rice is full, and there is a meal of dumplings every five days!"

"We have also been given clothes and gloves, so that our own clothes will not be worn out, and our hands will be worn out!"

"I'm injured, and there is a head of the Qiquan Zi Dao to heal our wounds!"

In the midst of the uproar, Yu Guozhen's image of treating the workers well was immediately established, in stark contrast to Fang Caijiang's attempt to forcibly drive the servants. Jiang Zhongliu secretly cursed a few crazy words in his heart, how can there be such a fool who has a advantage and doesn't know how to take it!

Yu Guozhen raised a hand at the right time, everyone quieted down, Yu Guozhen said again: "Not only that, Huang Shun everyone knows, he was the first to work for me, I saw that he was diligent and faithful, so I raised him, taught him a livelihood, specifically for my kiln to supply coal, only more than ten days of effort, he has earned dozens of taels of silver from me." ”

"Huh?"

Regarding Huang Shun's income, these times have also been discussed many times, but I didn't expect that he would earn dozens of taels of silver in just over ten days, according to this calculation, how could he not earn a thousand taels of silver a year? In Jiangnan, this may be nothing, but Qinzhou, which is already a wealth that most families have not been able to accumulate for generations.

"All of you here, too, in general, every month in the future, we have to do an evaluation, all who work in my place, the most diligent and loyal, will get a meritorious, usually outstanding performance, there will also be a temporary meritorious, my steward here will record the meritorious, every five times the meritorious, I will give him a way to get rich, that is, not as good as Huang Shun, will not be worse!" Yu Guozhen announced again.

This is not his temporary idea, but a plan made very early, rewarding attendance and punishing laziness is not just verbal, in addition, with the expansion of Xinxiang, Yu Guozhen needs someone to provide enough logistical supplies for Xinxiang: poultry, meat, eggs, if he handles these things himself, it will not only disperse his own strength but also save much money, it is better to subcontract it to others, he just needs to focus on the quality.

And in this way, he can easily raise a group of people in Qinzhou who are in line with his interests, and the more there are in this group, the more talented people will appear among them, and gradually a new management class will be formed.

Only this stratum can replace the grassroots organizations composed of students, officials, and inferior gentry and form a new social order!

After Yu Guozhen's announcement was issued, there was an excited discussion around him, and Jiang Zhongliu was also stunned.

If there is such a good thing, more than 1,000 taels of silver will come in a year, where does he need to make it what he is now!

"No, no, this is impossible, he is not a fortune boy, nor is he Zhao Gongming, how can he make everyone rich?" Jiang Zhongliu thought for a while: "This must be a lie, it must be!" ”

Jiang An understood Yu Guozhen's meaning, and he stepped forward: "You may not know who my son-in-law is, my son-in-law is Yu Guozhen, a young tiger who invented the art of planting beads...... Well, in this place, I am sure you have never heard of my son-in-law. As long as you know one thing, the name of my son-in-law in Nanzhili is almost unknown to everyone, and it is no different from Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth! ”

Yu Guozhen himself felt a little unbearable for this extremely numb touting, but when Jiang An said it, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and the tone of his voice was extremely sincere, which made people have to believe what he said.

"It is a great blessing to have the guidance of my son-in-law, but if you don't listen to my son-in-law's arrangement, you don't want to get this kind of blessing. As for those who try to disrespect my son-in-law, do you know how my son-in-law came to be called a young tiger? The bandits and thieves of all parties we killed, not one thousand, but eight hundred, even in my hands, master, there are also one or twenty surnames, just with you waste, dare to come to us to fight the autumn wind? ”

He pointed at the fast catchers, and the fast catchers shrunk, and today they were all gone.

"Young Master Yu, this ...... This one...... I see that Mr. Jiang is quite sincere, and he has also been taught a lesson, so why don't you leave it at that? ”

Duguxing persuaded again, and Yu Guozhen snorted: "That's it, seeing that you are still polite, I will give you a face...... Let them go, let them go. ”

Jiang Zhongliu didn't even have the courage to leave by shoulder, so he covered his face with his sleeves and escaped from the distance before he dared to turn back. He looked at Xinxiangzhai hatefully, only to follow him and escaped, those soldiers did not listen to him, but got Duguxing's signal, and were smiling and receiving the reward from Jiang'an, many people began to inquire privately, if they could also come here to help.

Don't blame them for this, at this time, the court is scarce, and the use is tilted to the north, and their food and salary are sometimes delayed, and they can have the opportunity to make money, how can they not be happy?

"The housekeeper, if you have the opportunity to make a fortune, tell the lower officials, the lower officials can't do anything else, and it will definitely not be a problem to pull two or three hundred brothers out to do coolies." Duguxing, the general, is also so poor that he is tinkling, and there is the Qinzhou garrison Lu Jiguang on it, even if there is some fat water for investigation, it can't flow a few into his hands. Seeing that Xinxiangzhai needed labor so much, he moved his mind, this is a financial road!

"Naturally, it's not a problem, but ...... The total adult, our Xinxiang work, the most impatient is not to listen to the call, of course, the reward will not be less, as long as you are willing to listen to the order to die, to put it mildly, if your brother is to listen to the order to die on the construction site, then the old pension in the family will send the young to grow up Chengren, we Xinxiang are round! ”

When Jiang An said this, his voice was very loud, and when the group of soldiers Ding Minzhuang heard this, their eyes widened, this is much stronger than what kind of big soldiers they are, they died in battle, and the pension they got at home was only half a year's salary!

"Okay, okay, let's sell this hundred people to Yu Gongzi!" Duguxing's face also turned red with excitement: The big-headed soldiers are treated like this, and he is always ...... You have to be well-off, right? As for whether Yu Gongzi hired them to do some arbitrary deeds, ordinary smuggling and the like, he really didn't care about it, if they rebelled and became thieves, they would be anyway!

"Wait, I'll report to my son-in-law and see how I use you."

Hearing Jiang'an's report, Yu Guozhen thought for a while, these officers and soldiers are strong, and they are all poor and afraid. They were more or less trained, and as long as they sent people in to mix the sand, and then restrained them with the discipline of Xinxiang, it was a help, at least they could free the young guards from some tedious chores.

"Mr. Dugu, you have this heart, that's a great good, I won't treat you badly, now I am short of manpower, if you are willing to come...... Do you see that wasteland, I will subcontract it to you, tools and whatever, I will provide it, and you will open it out for me. For every acre of wasteland, after the acceptance of the acceptance by the people I have sent, I will give you three taels of silver. If you open up a thousand acres of wasteland, it will be 3,000 taels, and if you open 10,000 acres, it will be 30,000 taels. ”

In Qinzhou, cattle are not a problem at all, almost every household here has a few cows, and Qinzhou is hot and humid, a year can be two to three cropping, as long as these fields are opened, in a short time, grain can be self-sufficient.

As for the land that was not originally prepared by Xu Lin, this question was handed over to Guo Weiqi by Yu Guozhen, and now Yu Guozhen gave him the hope of being promoted to become rich, and he also knew that Yu Guozhen had a connection with the eunuchs of the Nanjing Town Guard, how could he dare not do his best. Therefore, things went very smoothly, and in just more than 20 days, Guo Weiqi made up all the hand orders, and the land under Yu Guozhen's name also increased from 97 to more than 500.

On this small peninsula, almost all the ownerless places are now surnamed Yu. Among them, the area suitable for cultivation was measured by Yu Guozhen and his family guards, and the paddy fields were about 11,400 mu, the dry land was about 3,000 mu, and the sloping fields that could be cultivated were more than 4,000 mu.

If all the land is reclaimed, it is 19,000 mu, and Qinzhou rice is at least two crops a year, and the soil fertility keeps up, it can produce about 50,000 stone of grain every year, according to the Ming system, one stone is about 90 kilograms of grain in later generations, which means that these fields can support more than 90,000 people.

Of course, this is the optimal result, and in fact it would be nice to have half of the gain. With Yu Guozhen's current manpower, it is all used for farming, and it is impossible to cultivate all 19,000 acres.
