Chapter 526: Capital IX
Several clan elders left satisfied, and the Bai family's private wine and enough money made them feel that the trip was worthwhile, and they went back to their respective clans with the happiness of being hit by pies. This experience is enough for them to boast about for a long time to future generations.
No matter what era it is, the peasant brothers who do their duty are always the loveliest, even in the face of the temptation of huge pies and money that suddenly fall from the sky, they still will not forget their duty to be honest and honest. At the last moment, led by the two patriarchs of the Mu clan and the Shi clan, everyone mentioned yƬ one after another, and still forced the price given by Zhong Wuyan to 500,000 silver coins, even this price made the patriarchs feel uneasy, thinking that they had taken a big advantage, and if they were still greedy, they would be hit by thunder!
That kind of dispute scene made Bai Dong think that he had arrived in the country of gentlemen, these villagers were really too honest and duty-bound, others were only ruthless and didn't buy expensive enough, but they were afraid that the buyer would suffer a loss, what a lovely person this is...... In fact, the Chinese people have always been like this, what is the result in exchange? It's not that the gratitude of the superiors is zero, but it's the further squeezing of inch by inch, what is the reason of heaven!
Zhong Wuyan also sighed for a long time, although she was from a famous family, her half-life experience was no different from ordinary Li Min, and what she looked down on in her heart was those meat eaters who squeezed Li Min with a vegetarian meal, and it was these simple and lovely Li Min Qiantou who really felt. Why did Tian Yinqi get her blue eyes? Isn't it because Tian Yinqi has vigorously fought corruption and advocated honesty since he ascended the throne and cares about the people's livelihood? Such a monarch is not bad even if it is bad, and he can try to marry.
"I can't imagine that I can't spend my money even if I have money? I prepared a million silver dollars, but only half of them were spent. How is this good? And so on. Am I really going to lose to the girl? ā
Bai Dong looked at Zhong Wuyan with a smile. This woman is ugly, but she is quite good, just look at her attitude towards these villagers, so it is not a book to pit Tian Yinqi, if you can get a wife like this, Tian Yinqi should thank herself.
"Although you did a good deed, you still lost, because the bet is that you don't spend a penny to settle Wuyuan's business. Now just by making an appointment with a few patriarchs, he spent 500,000 silver dollars, and he really lost very badly. Baizi, you deliberately lost the gambling game like this, can you please this girl? "People have shortcomings, and the more intelligent people are, the greater the shortcomings, like all the ugly girls in the world, Zhong Wuyan is also extremely narcissistic, and now I very much suspect that this white son is attracted by his 'beauty', and deliberately wants to lose to himself in order to smile.
"This 500,000 silver money is just used to lease the land of various clans, when did I say that it was used to solve the matter of Wuyuan?" Bai Dong smiled and said, "Miss Zhong, don't be impatient. After half a month, I know how good the book is. At that time, Wuyuan Water Banquet River Qing and the girl's name will be successful, and we don't need to spend a copper coin to become a big deal. The girl still has to come to me to admit defeat......"
"I don't believe it."
"Believe it or not. But what we need to do now is to continue to meet with some people, and we must always try to spend the 500,000 yuan I have saved......"
Bai Dong laughed, looking at Zhong Wuyan and Xiao Yingsi, who were confused, and had the pleasure of enjoying the secret alone.
***
Appointments, leases, negotiated terms of money and full refunds without liability for surrendering the lease, Zhong Wuyan has been busy with these things recently, meeting all kinds of strange people, industrial and commercial farmers; These are naturally from Bai Dong's plan, she is an executor and puppet who charges ahead, and she doesn't even understand what Dong is thinking, but the more she does it, the more addicted she becomes. The saltless Zhong Li's 'big stroke' has caused a sensation in Wuyuan, which makes Miss Zhong's heart infinitely sour, not to mention that this move can really help those farmers, it can be said that it is a big fool not to do such a good thing.
Spending money is always easier than making money, millions of dollars are quickly scattered, and Miss Zhong, who suddenly became idle, from extreme excitement to idleness, has an indescribable emptiness and loneliness, and after being depressed for a few days, she began to shift her attention to Bai Dong; But I found that this Baizi who vigorously funded her was the biggest idler, and every day in addition to supervising Ying Si's homework was considered a serious matter, there was basically nothing to do, either I asked the plum girl to pick the newly grown green plums and cook wine, or I took a fishing rod to go fishing, sometimes I can sit by the water for a day, and it is easy to catch a fish, and I have to put it back in the water? Zhong Wuyan couldn't help it a few times, and asked Bai Dong why he was like this, but Bai Dong smiled and said to her, "The result is not important, what you enjoy is the process", this guy has this ability, he can raise strange things that others can't understand to the theoretical level, and it makes people feel very reasonable after listening to it, Zhong Wuyan looked for a copy of "Sixue" published by Bai Dong under curiosity, and then suddenly realized, it turned out that this kid is extremely powerful, and he is the one who does this kind of thing.
"Half a month has passed, and you are making wine and fishing every day, what is this? Are we still making a bet? Seeing Bai Dong's leisurely expression, Emperor Zhong Wuyan was not in a hurry and the eunuch was in a hurry, he really couldn't hold his breath, if she continued like this, her curiosity would make her explode.
"Well, in Miss Zhong's opinion, what should the book do?"
Bai Dong glared at Xiao Yingsi, who was sitting beside him: "How did Taifu sue you, the world has great courage and wisdom, all of which are tied to great calmness, hold your fishing rod, Taifu won't blame you if you can't catch a fish, but if your breath is unstable and your heart is uncertain, Taifu will punish you severely!" Ying Si was frightened, and quickly turned his head to look at the water, this time not to mention Aunt Zhong talking to Taifu, even if the thunder fell, he would no longer dare to be distracted.
"You ......" Zhong Wuyan was speechless for a while, she was taught by a stranger when she was a child, and she was praised by her teacher for her intelligence, but since she met Bai Dong, she was restricted everywhere, and even her intelligence seemed to have decreased a lot, and she thought about it and said: "Half a month has passed, and you have lost." ā
"Really?" Bai Dong put down the fishing rod with a smile and said slowly: "I heard that Miss Zhong entered Wuyuan City the day before yesterday, didn't she notice any changes in Wuyuan?" Have you ever seen that anxious Guiwei doctor in Wuyuan Guan City? ā
"I ...... You mean the change in Takehara. Zhong Wuyan was stunned, he had nothing to do in the past few days, and the day before yesterday he did go to Wuyuan City with Meizi to go around, and he was reminded by Bai Dong that Wuyuan had indeed changed a lot; There are 30% more cars and horses in and out of the city gate than before, and many businesses in the market that were originally closed have reopened their doors, and the doctor Guiwei, who has to go to Wuyuan Guan City every day to inspect the city, has disappeared the day before yesterday......
The disciples taught by Guiguzi are naturally not bad, as early as half a month ago, when Zhong Wuyan first arrived in Wuyuan, he went to the city to take a look, but in recent days, he has been speculating about what Bai Dong is going to do, and his curiosity has blinded his mind, and the day before yesterday he and Meizi entered the city purely for distraction, so although he saw some changes in his eyes, he never took them to heart.
"It's a pity that you came to see me fishing today, but you didn't go to Wuyuan again, otherwise you will definitely see that the cars and horses coming in and out of Wuyuan City Gate have increased by three percent, and the city is more prosperous than the day before yesterday. Do you know why Wu Yuan has changed so much? ā
"My teacher once said that the economic rise and fall of a country and a place is like the ebb and flow of the tide, among which the high and low, the ups and downs are all economic rules, its vigorous and majestic, very powerful, even if the power of a place and a country is unstoppable, the military has changed slightly, what is so strange?"
"Really?"
Bai Dong was secretly surprised in his heart, Zhong Wuyan didn't know that the stranger who taught her that day was Guiguzi, but he knew it, but he only knew that this person was the first Taoist patriarch after Laozi and before Zhuangzi, and the first learned person in China for three thousand years, but he never thought that this person could sum up the relationship between the economic base and the superstructure in the Warring States Period two thousand years ago; It is powerful and majestic, very powerful, and the power of one place and one country is unstoppable...... Such a theory is also an irrefutable truth in the "Political Economics" of later generations.
"Isn't it? My teacher is more knowledgeable than the heavens, and he naturally makes the most sense. ā
"Hehe, Venerable Master is naturally a very great person, but what he said is not applicable to Wu Yuan, you look at this Wu Yuan's qualifications. This is the result of a careful investigation by the Bai family trading company, which shows that Wuyuan has been in a deteriorating situation in the past ten years, the market has been depressed, and the people's hearts have been in turmoil, and there has not been a day of relaxation, but it has only improved in the past ten days, and it has only gradually recovered in the past three or five days. ā
Bai Dong slowly opened the fish basket placed at his feet, took out a thick paper book and handed it to Zhong Wuyan; Xiao Yingsi had just seen the things on it, and when he saw that Taifu also gave it to Zhong Wuyan, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at this Aunt Zhong, he almost dropped his jaw when he saw this information, I wonder if this cool Aunt Zhong will be the same?
