Chapter 13 Collecting the Displaced People
At the beginning of "Learning from Jian Yong", the price of goods has been changed: 1 tael of gold = 10 taels of silver = 1000 copper coins
Looking at the 'Xiongba Villa' every day, and looking at the people of the villa who often show a smile, I also have a little sense of accomplishment in my heart.
The last time I inspected the construction progress, I saw them eating, all of them were yellow and thin, and I couldn't bear it, and then I looked at what they ate, I damn it, don't tell me it's grass roots, that's wild vegetables, that's tree bark, that's coarse chaff, haven't they even eaten decent steamed buns, steamed buns, and decent porridge? Do you just eat so hard to work? Can it grow well?
Although they are happy because they are not tenant farmers, but it is only a name, although they are happy because the lord sees that the house they live in is not good, and builds them a house, and has such a lord, but where can I guide them whether they are happy, but I am sure that she will resent me when they eat, and her lord is fatter than a pig, but she is hungry and skinny, and you complain.
Therefore, I am also saddened that I grew up under the red flag, and there is no distinction between untouchables, at least I should give them some decent meals.
I followed Guan Yu next to me and said, "You go and inform everyone, gather in the open space, everyone has to arrive." ”
"Yes, sir." After speaking, Guan Yu immediately went to inform.
A quarter of an hour later, the clearing was filled with more than 5,000 people.
"Hello everyone, I'm sorry I didn't find out in time that your food was so unbearable, my fault," I cried out lamentingly.
Lao Xi stood up again, and it was really a good representative, "Lord, you have been very good to me, we are now several times better than other tenant farmers, and the lord needs to blame himself." ”
"Lao Xi, you are wrong, you are not tenant farmers now, you can't always compare tenant farmers, you are my relatives, my relatives live like this, how can I be embarrassed, even if I lose weight, I want everyone to eat normal food." I was a little excited and shouted to the villagers in front of me.
At this time, many people have tears in their eyes, what a good owner this is, such a fat person, actually said that he wanted to lose weight in order to eat for us, it was so touching.
"Don't eat bran anymore, just eat the grain here. After that, half of the grain produced by each of your fields shall be yours. In a word, as long as Chu Fat Man is there in the future, he will not let everyone eat bran and other things that animals eat! I'll let everyone eat white flour steamed buns! ", I said aloud. I say this from the bottom of my heart.
The scene suddenly fell silent, and then Gong Xi knelt on the ground with a puff, and then the other villagers also knelt down.
"The lord treats us so well, we dare not give up our lives to repay us!" , Gong Xi knelt on the ground and said with tears in his eyes.
"Lord!" All the villagers shouted along. This lord shouted very firmly, which showed that these villagers were completely loyal to Chu Xiong at this time.
"And I said before, don't kneel down to me, otherwise you won't be given food, you all kneel down today, but you still have to build a house and open up wasteland, this time I will write it down first, and next time I will be punished together, now I will go to buy grain first, you first take out the 50,000 catties of grain in the warehouse and eat it, and strive to let everyone eat white flour steamed buns at night." I ran away as soon as I finished speaking, and so many people knelt down again, almost scaring me to pee.
When I returned to Zhuojun, I went directly to Tian Luo.
When I entered the back hall, Tian Luo happened to be there, and seeing my anxious look, Tian Luo asked in surprise, "Why is Brother Chu Xian so urgent?" ”
I realized that I was rude, smiled apologetically, and then hugged my fists towards Tian Luo and said, "Brother Tian, I really have something urgent and want to ask my brother for help." ”。 After a few days of getting along, I understood Tian Luo's personality very well, so I got straight to the point as soon as I came.
"Oh? What is the matter, just say it! Tian Luo said very boldly.
So I sent all the things I asked to Tian Luo one by one.
I asked him to pretend for two things: first, I asked him to send people to various places to recruit displaced people, and this was conditional, that is, these displaced people must be young and middle-aged; Second, ask him to help him buy food, for which I will give a thousand gold.
If these two things are asked to do them, it will undoubtedly be difficult, but Tian Luo only smiled slightly after hearing this: "These two things are easy to do, I can send someone to do them immediately." However, as a result of last year's devastating disaster, food prices have almost tripled. ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, and asked with some trepidation: "Then how much grain can I buy with this thousand gold?" ”
Tian Luo couldn't help but think about it, and said at the same time: "The current grain is thirty yuan a catty, and one thousand gold is equal to ten million yuan, and you can probably buy three hundred and fifty thousand catties of grain." ”
When I heard this, I immediately calculated: an adult strong man consumes an average of two catties of grain a day, and there is still a month before the summer wheat matures, that is, thirty days, so an average adult strong man will consume sixty catties of grain during this time, and he plans to recruit 10,000 displaced people, plus the original residents, then a total of about 900,000 catties of grain will be needed before the summer grain harvest.
I was stunned, this thousand gold is not enough to buy half of the grain, I thought for a while, and finally decided to spend 2,000 gold to buy 700,000 grain, barely enough to cope with 10,000 people to deal with a month first.
"Did Brother Xian decide to do this?" , Tian Luo asked.
I nodded.
"Oh well. Both of these things are easy to do, and they can be done in a month at most. Tian Luo said with a relaxed face.
Immediately, Tian Luo called two guards, and then ordered these two things to go down.
"Brother Xian, it seems that you are a person with great ambitions!" , Tian Luo said as he stared at Chu Xiong with blazing eyes.
I smiled innocently and didn't answer.
"By the way, brother, there is one more thing about the younger brother." I remembered something again, so I said.
Tian Luo smiled and nodded, "Brother Xian, even if you say it directly, as long as the brother can do it, he will definitely help with all his might." ”
I said a little embarrassedly: "Brother, I heard that the Holy Lord is openly selling officials today, but is there such a thing? ”
Tian Luo nodded, "This is indeed the case, and this betrayal of officials has been going on for many years." Then he asked with understanding: "Brother Xian asked like this, is it possible that he also wants to donate an official to make a contribution?" ”
I nodded a little excitedly, I used to want to be an official when I was studying, and any petty official was very majestic. If I want to be a big official at my age, I don't know that I have to wait for the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, and now as long as I have money, I can be a big official, a good thing!
