Wang Baozong dared to say this, not a lie.

He had been staying with his companions of nearly 500 people, and he had to talk about it all the time, and everyone was unanimous about the future, and they all felt that it was impossible to go home like this, and since he had been a thief, he had to be disposed of. Then there are only two possible outcomes, one is to resettle on the spot, and judging from the attitude of the local people towards them, this is not a good outcome. The other is to follow Yu Guozhen and become a slave or tenant for Yu Guozhen, which has a much better ending than others.

"Really?" Yu Guozhen said with a smile: "Wang Baozong, you are older than me, I will call you Lao Wang, this matter is ...... I want to ask you, go and ask your companions, to be honest. After all, going to Qin'zhou is a trekking through mountains and rivers, and it is inevitable that there will be accidents, and if there is an accident at that time, everyone will complain about me, but it will not be good. ”

"Who will complain about Yu Gongzi, not Yu Gongzi, we people have long been wiped out by officers and soldiers, the best and the best, but also by the thieves as dead soldiers, which side of the city to die in." Wang Baozong said with a straight face: "Little official, just rest assured about this matter!" ”

Yu Guozhen nodded, a smile appeared on his face: "If you are willing to go, I still have to ask Lao Wang for help." ”

Wang Baozong stood up again and said respectfully: "Please give orders." ”

This man is clever and discerning, and he is willing to work for Yu Guozhen, Yu Guozhen is very satisfied with him: "In addition to you, I have two thousand people, who are also forced to be thieves like you, but they have not been in battle, so they are in Xiang'an." When the time comes, you will go together, and what dispute will arise in Hugh, what do you think? ”

Although Yu Guozhen did not say it directly, Wang Baozong already understood the meaning. The five hundred of them came over anyway, Yu Guozhen is absolutely trusted, but the two thousand people are not too reliable, so Yu Guozhen will mess them up, and when the time comes, he will ask them to be more vocal about the five hundred, so as not to have any changes.

"Yes, Childe just rest assured."

"Well, if nothing else, we'll be ready to leave in three days." Yu Guozhen smiled and pointed to Gao Dazhu: "Dazhu is fully responsible for your affairs along the way, and strive for ...... Within two months, I arrived in Qin' Prefecture, and I was still able to plant a crop. ”

"Three days later?" Wang Baozong didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Exactly, you are the first to take the inland waterways." Yu Guozhen said.

Wang Baozong didn't quite understand what the inland river was, but after Yu Guozhen's order, he returned to the camp and summoned more than 20 people who had befriended him in Pingyueli together, and relayed Yu Guozhen's meaning to them.

"Yu Gongzi really wants to take us to Qin' Prefecture?"

"Qin' Prefecture is really as Yu Gongzi said, isn't that a paradise?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there were gossip questions around him, Wang Baozong had a surname, and after hearing them one by one, he said: "Brothers, what is our identity, everyone understands, if it sounds good, it is the righteous people who recruit peace anyway, and if it is not good, it is the sinners who follow the thieves into chaos." With Yu Gongzi's family business, is it necessary for him to lie to us? ”

Everyone is not stupid, Wang Baozong's rhetorical question made everyone understand in their hearts that Yu Guozhen really had no need to deceive them. Sending Wang Baozong to ask for their opinions was to give them face, otherwise Yu Guozhen gave an order, how could they have the slightest room to refuse!

"We don't have anything long, except for this strength, what else is worthy of Yu Gongzi's attention? Since you sell this strength everywhere, it is better to sell it to others, or to sell it to Yu Gongzi, you all know it in your hearts. It's Yu Gongzi who is gracious, let us go, can we still go home, do we still have a home to go back to? ”

Among these 500 people, all of them have a deep blood feud with the rogue, and as soon as these words came out, everyone was gloomy.

"Yu Gongzi also said that our family, or those who are separated and still survived, as long as everyone is willing to go to Qin' Prefecture, then he will send people to our hometown to inquire and search, as long as we say the name of our relatives in our family, he will think of it, if it can be found, send it to Qin 'Zhou to reunite with us." Wang Baozong said again: "Brothers, the lord is lenient, we can't get an inch, we have to know the kindness." I, Wang Baozong, a village man, Yu Gongzi is still so courteous, if you brothers can really do something, Yu Gongzi will be treated badly? ”

Promising to find possible surviving relatives for these people after being separated can be said to relieve everyone's worries. Everyone nodded again and again, and some of them stood up directly: "Brother Baozong, what you said is that our cheap lives are not worth a few pennies, and everyone has watched the plight of those sinners, if we want to live better, we can only follow Yu Gongzi." How should we do it, Brother Baozong, you just have to say it! ”

"The first thing we have to do is to stabilize our five hundred brothers." Wang Baozong was confident: "If one of them is unwilling to go, then it will not show our brotherly means......"

After handing over the matter to Wang Baozong, Yu Guozhen rushed back to Xiang'an in addition to letting Dazhu continue to pay attention to the matter. However, this time I didn't stay long in Xiang'an, since I had turned against Shi Kefa, the base in Xiang'an didn't need to be fully rebuilt. In particular, Yu Guozhen has decided to relocate all those production facilities to the south.

He can imagine that with Shi Kefa's ability, in the next few years, the entire An'lu area will be panicked, and Zhang Xianzhong, who has run into the mountains, if he has never left, then if he has the opportunity, he will definitely come back to seek revenge.

Therefore, Xiang'an only needs to see a dock fort, and it doesn't take so much labor to build a dock fort.

Three days later, when an inland river fleet composed of more than 60 large and small boats appeared in Xiang'an, Wang Baozong and his 447 men were all on board, except for the 53 people who had died in battle, no one remained. And with these 447 people, it will be much easier to mix the 2,000 people in Xiang'an.

If Gao Dazhuang is sent to lead 50 guards to be stationed on each ship, Yu Guozhen can guarantee that there will be no accidents on this trip to the south.

In this fleet, the large ships could carry more than 200 people, and the small boats could also carry 40 or 50 people, and the food and vegetables for everyone were brought on board, and there were also plenty of tents, clothing, and medicines. Among the five men on board, they were all recruited from the displaced victims, and with them, it would not be a problem to deal with the usual headaches and brain fevers. Yu Guozhen's explanation to Gao Dazhu was that he was not in a hurry to rush to Qinzhou, but he must cultivate the living habits of these 2,500 people on the way, so that they could adapt to the rhythm of life there as soon as they arrived in Qinzhou.

"Does Gongzi Yu really want to move the foundation to Qinzhou completely?" These more than 60 ships were brought by Xu Lin, and he asked Yu Guozhen with a smile.

"Isn't this still going to rebuild the Hosoyanagi Courtyard?" Yu Guozhen smiled: "It's you, really made up your mind?" ”

"Yes, I have made up my mind to sacrifice the thief this time...... It scared me too. What is Shi Kefa, he is the governor of Anlu, I am sure that there will not be only one rebellion of thieves. When it came to Shi Kefa, Xu Lin looked a little angry, not because of Yu Guozhen's secret agreement with Shi Kefa, but because of himself.

"Why are you so unkind to that Governor Shi, it doesn't look like you."

"In the old year, when he took office, because of the change of the people of Tong's city, I also knew that Nanzhili was empty of defense, and he had always had a good reputation, so when he recruited troops and persuaded him to pay money, I not only gave him 20,000 taels of silver, but also let the children of the clan join the army with him. As a result, he fiddled with it for more than half a year, but he didn't even defend the Lu'zhou City! Xu Lin was extremely angry about this, 20,000 taels of silver was nothing to the reinvigorated Xu family, but those children of the clan who died made him extremely heartbroken!

Not only because the family members of those children troubled him, but also because those children were originally outstanding among the younger generation of the clan and were his future helpers, but now most of them have been lost, and even affected the development of his family's industry.

"If you really move to Qin' Prefecture, I will not let you suffer, and I will give you all the cotton spinning workshop." Yu Guozhen said suddenly.

"What?" Xu Lin was stunned.

He also had such a plan to go to Qinzhou, and when he helped Yu Guozhen gain a foothold in Qinzhou, he himself bought a thousand acres of land there. Therefore, his relocation this time also has the intention of relying on Yu Guozhen, after all, he has gradually transferred his main business from the study room and tea rice to cotton cloth and cotton clothes.

"I'm working with you with a full set of cotton spinning skills." Yu Guozhen said with a smile: "How to operate, I will leave it to your Xu family, and I will only send two groups of people in." The first group is the account room, which calculates profits and losses, counts once a quarter, and 20% of the net profit belongs to me. The second group is the research institute, which is responsible for the research and development of new technologies and the development of new varieties, and the annual expenditure of the institute shall not be less than 20% of the net profit. ”

This condition made Xu Lin almost unable to believe his ears.

He knows that if Yu Guozhen is not understaffed, how far can his cotton yarn and cotton cloth industry go! Not to mention forcing the rest of the gauze industry in the world to close down, it is absolutely not a problem to occupy at least half of the Ming Dynasty!

This is a business of one million taels or even more a year, and because of the use of the Yu family's textile machines and looms, the profit margin is extremely high, and it may even be as high as six or seven percent, that is to say, the net profit is six or seven hundred thousand taels per year. The scale of this transaction has far exceeded the total amount of the industry that his Xu family is currently operating.

And Yu Guozhen's two conditions are equivalent to him accounting for forty percent of the dry shares, compared with this huge profit, what is the forty percent of the dry shares?

Although Xu Lin is an extremely outstanding businessman in this era, he has the courage, vision and ability, but after all, there is still a gap between the times, and he does not realize how important Yu Guozhen's second condition is to set up a research institute in the workshop for the development of industry.

His mind was full of confusion, and he only thought about one thing, even if the relationship between Yu and Xu's family was good, why would Yu Guozhen give him such a big gift, what was the idea in Yu Guozhen's heart?
