Chapter 47: A Shortcut to Making Money

Sesame Li, Peng Da and others are all from peasant backgrounds, and they know very well what the people at the bottom hate the most in this era. Therefore, the field endowment was directly reduced to two percent. As long as each man reclaimed no more than 100 acres of wasteland, 20% of the yield per mu was paid to the rebels, and the Xuzhou Governor's Office recognized his ownership of the land. You can buy and sell, or you can leave it to your children and grandchildren.

Therefore, after the beginning of spring, there has been a boom in land reclamation around Xuzhou. Almost all the homeless people, as long as they could still hold hoes, went to the fields and opened up the wasteland. The auxiliaries in the various units, who were busy with training and things in the fields, also sweated like rain in the moonlight. As a result, the price of the land, which could not be sold at a high price, fell all the way. Correspondingly, the value of tenants has skyrocketed due to the emergence of a large amount of new arable land.

The life of the common people is better, but Zhu Eighty-one, an upstart in the righteous army, is worried. I can't sell a large piece of land in my hand, and I can't plant it. And Zuo Jun was still waiting for the rice to be put into the pot, so his eyes were on fire, he slapped the table hard, and complained loudly: "This can't be done, that's not done, then what do you two say?!" With such a big family business as Zuo Jun, you can't just let me make up my mind alone! ”

When Mr. Su heard this, he immediately knelt down and resigned. Zhu Bayi was so angry that he picked him up and roared angrily: "Don't talk about resignation!" In your life, life is my person, and death is my ghost! ”

After roaring, I felt that this statement was too ambiguous. He slowed down his tone and whispered, "I know I've been spending money a bit hard lately, and I haven't discussed it with you." But I'm also for the future of our people. You also participated in the last battle, do you know what Meng Yuan's soldiers are like? If we hadn't succeeded in the sneak attack at the last moment, the whole city of Xuzhou would have been slaughtered into a blank slate! Who will survive to this day?! So in terms of ordnance, the money that should be spent cannot be saved in any case! Otherwise, our soldiers are not as good as others, the food is not as good as others, and there are no peerless generals at the moment. If you don't hurry up and get one or two life-saving weapons, aren't you just waiting to be chopped?! ”

Mr. Su actually knew in his heart that Zhu Eighty-one spent such a lot of money in order to get a few more sharp weapons like grenades that could turn things around, just in case of emergency. The reason why he was making trouble before was mainly because the other party didn't have any discussion with him when he spent money, and he felt lost in his heart. At this moment, when he heard Zhu Eighty-one speak frankly, he sighed and responded in a low voice: "Although this is the truth, the governor should also live within his means. Otherwise, before you can get your magic weapon out, the left army will break off first. The soldiers are hungry and run away, even if you have a sharp weapon, who are you going to use it for?! ”

"Haven't I been paying attention lately?" Zhu Bayi smiled wryly and took the initiative to admit his mistake. "I've been spending a lot of money lately, and I'll pay attention to it in the future. That, the antique calligraphy and paintings in the house, can't you really sell them? ”

"The current market is too bad, and it will definitely not be able to sell at a price!" Seeing that his lord was so kind, Mr. Su sighed helplessly and responded in a low voice, "I'll let someone bring a calligraphy and painting to Yangzhou to have a look, if there is a market, maybe it can save a few days." However, "

Glancing up at Zhu Bayi's expression, he continued: "But this is not a long-term plan after all. If you want to continue to let the brothers eat two dry and one dry every day, the governor had better think of other ways to make money?!"

"What's the way, if you two can think of it, you might as well say it and listen to it!" Zhu Bayi knew that the other party was thinking about himself, nodded and humbly asked.

Mr. Su did not respond himself, but turned his gaze to Yu Changlin and motioned for the latter to answer on his behalf. Yu Changlin, the commander of the left army, immediately understood his hint, thought about it, and took the initiative to say: "Since the governor has asked, his subordinates will plan for the governor as much as possible." In fact, to make money, there are no more than two means, one is open source, and the other is to reduce expenditure! ”

"Forget about throttling, you first talk about how to open source!" Zhu Eighty-one knew what it was like to starve all his life, so he refused to save the brothers' rations no matter what. After thinking about it, he motioned to Chang Lin to say the first item first.

Yu Changlin nodded and continued to respond, "There are several ways to open source, and the most stable of them is Tuntian. But because it is stable, it is slow to produce results. Without three years and five years, it is difficult to be self-sufficient! ”

"Forget it! Xuzhou is stuck on the canal, and it can cut off the supply of food and materials to the north at any time. Regardless of whether Manager Li would do that or not, the Mengyuan Imperial Court would never tolerate putting the grain road next to his mouth. I estimate that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will soon come over again, and this field, we will also be Baitun! Zhu Bayi thought about it and categorically rejected the plan.

Yu Changlin originally didn't plan to sell Zhu Eighty-one the strategy of raising the army in Tuntian, but seeing that Zhu Eighty-one was not interested in this, he immediately changed to the second plan, "This second is nothing more than making a fuss about the rich under his rule." Find a way to get them to pay the governor to raise soldiers, and at the same time give them some benefits. The advantage of this method is that it can link the squires under his rule with our army and advance and retreat together. The disadvantage is that the cannibal mouth is short, and it is inevitable that you will be subject to them in the future! ”

"Forget it, how many wealthy households are left in Xuzhou City? Even if we donate all our property, it won't be enough for our Left Army to eat for a year! Zhu Eighty-one didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, he knew that this way was not going through, shook his head, and rejected it with a smile.

"Then there's only the third one!" Yu Changlin secretly glanced at Mr. Su, and then raised his voice slightly, "Ask Manager Li for an order, fight out early, and feed the enemy?!" ”

"Food for the enemy?!" Zhu Bayi was slightly stunned and instinctively asked.

"Of course!" Mr. Su had already prepared and immediately took over the conversation, "Haven't you heard anyone say that if you want to make money, the fastest thing is to fight with open fire, and the second is to be an official." The governor is now an official of the Red Turban Army, and it is most justified to rob Meng Yuan's money and grain. Why squat at home all day and watch the little bit of the boss come down? ”

"Rob, yes, why didn't I think of that? But who to rob, we have to find a target first! Zhu Bayi was stunned again, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Yes, I am now a rebel, I have a knife and a gun in my hand, and I still want to sell my house and land to raise soldiers! If you don't have any money, just go out and grab it. Even if they can't beat a few cities, blocking the gate and asking the Northern Yuan officials in the city to pay the "security" fee, do they dare not give it?

"North, single father, Caozhou!" Yu Changlin solemnly arched his hand and added loudly, "That area is where the old road of the Yellow River is located, with streams running vertically and horizontally, and fertile fields for thousands of miles. And these fields either belong to the Mongolian Daru Huachi in Shan Father and Caozhou, or belong to a few local heroes, and they have nothing to do with the common people. Those Han officials in the city only know how to rip bones and suck the marrow, and they don't know how to appease people's hearts at all. It's just an open door, just waiting for the Governor to clean them up! ”

"You two Jianyì I will lead the troops to fight Shan Zhou?!" Zhu Eighty-one was stunned for the third time, looking at Mr. Su and Yu Changlin suspiciously, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the two?

Obviously, the two discussed the rhetoric first, and then came together. According to his geographical knowledge that he has been desperately making up for in recent times, Shanzhou and Caozhou are indeed located next to the old road of the Yellow River, convenient for irrigation, and fertile for thousands of miles. However, the two state cities are now located in the north of the newly repaired Yellow River, while the exhibition direction set by Zhima Li and Zhao Junyong for the Xuzhou Army itself is to the south. In a short period of time, relying on the natural danger of the Yellow River, it stabilized the north, and at the same time expanded to the west and south, attacking Suzhou and Mengcheng, and striving to join the main force of the Red Turban Army under Liu Futong as soon as possible.

"Exactly! Shan, Cao Erzhou, is a God-given general's thing, not to take it, it is really not a wise move! I didn't see the expression on Zhu Eighty's face at all, arched his hand, and continued to talk. He, like Su Mingzhe, Li Mubai and Zhao Junyong, used to be unable to participate in the imperial examination of the Mengyuan Dynasty because he couldn't find the recommendation of a wealthy family, so he was half a life down. Therefore, the desire to show my strength is very strong, and I want to grasp the slightest opportunity, and I don't feel that I am too eager to do so! "Wu Rabuhua just slaughtered Pei County last winter, and Shanzhou and Caozhou are only 100 miles away from Pei County. Even the wealthy families in the two places inevitably had relatives living in Pei County, and they were all killed by Wu Ru Bu. Therefore, the hearts of the people in the two places have long been out of the Mengyuan court, and the general is leading troops over at this moment, hanging the people and killing the crime, and the people will win the grain and the scenery! ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Eighty-one continued to murmur in a low voice. Neither Shanzhou nor Caozhou privately paid money to Sesame Li to buy peace, and they led their troops to fight and fight. With the current morale of the Left Army, coupled with the power of the new gunpowder, the officers and soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty stationed in the local area may not be able to block the blows of everyone.

The problem is, how to listen to the two of Mr. Su and Yu Sicang, they all smell of conspiracy. Of course, it is not aimed at himself, after the first battle outside Xuzhou, it is polite to say that no one in the left army can challenge his position. With the ordinary appearance of the two of them, they are not a person who is stupid.

This conspiracy is obviously aimed at Sesame Li, Zhao Junyong and the entire Xuzhou Red Scarf. Once he listened to the two of them, he pulled the left army north of the Yellow River. I'm afraid that in the next step, the two of them will build a self-supporting portal for the left army!

Otaku are just too lazy to participate in social activities at home, but they are not stupid. On the contrary, most otaku in the twenty-first century have quite high IQs. Zhu Eighty-one fused two souls, and of course his intelligence would not become negative. smiled, shook his head and said, "If you really want to grab a handful, I'll just bring the soldiers." Forgive those two small towns, and don't dare to let me come back empty-handed! As for pulling the team over to fight, forget it. After all, that place is north of the Yellow River, and in case of a war on the Xuzhou side, the left army may not be able to rush back in time! ”

"Oh my governor! Why can't you think about it? As soon as Mr. Su was in a hurry, he immediately stopped pretending to be wronged. Grabbed Zhu Bayi's sleeve and shook it vigorously, "The foundation of our Red Turban Army is in Xuzhou, but the general manager listened to Zhao's words, and he wants to go south to fight Suzhou and Mengcheng." In case Suzhou didn't come down, let the Tartars copy the nest again. Everyone has completely become a gangster, and the Mengyuan court doesn't need to send troops, as long as they guard the city gate and don't let us in. When the middle of summer comes, we will either die of sunshine outside, or starve to death outside. ”

"What if you lead troops to occupy Shanzhou?!" After taking a few breaths of breath, he continued to add loudly, "It's equivalent to hitting a nail in the path of the Mengyuan Imperial Court's march." They dare to hit Xuzhou, let's bypass from Pei County and copy his back road. If he attacks the Yingzhou Red Turban Army camp from Bianliang, we can bypass it from the west and threaten Bianliang. One particle goes down, and the whole game of chess comes alive. When the time comes, you can fight as much as you want, and you don't have to look at Zhao Junyong's face every day. Isn't that a one-size-fits-all sudden?! ”
