Chapter 824: Five Million Mu

Xu Pengju came out of the yamen of the military department, and when he arrived at the threshold, in a trance, he actually stumbled, but fortunately, he was protected by a family general, and immediately got into the carriage and hurried back to the house, for fear of being seen. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that their actions are destined to cover up, Tang Yi returned to the southeast, and the shock generated is far greater than imagined, don't look at the past so many years, Tang Yi's two words are still golden signboards, the rules he left behind at the beginning have a profound impact on the southeast, the gentry and wealthy businessmen, I don't know how many people still follow Tang Yi and obey his arrangement.

There was a big mess in Suzhou, the southeast was unstable, at this time Tang Yi came back, what measures would he take, the big guys were all worried, around the yamen of the military department, all the gods and goddesses sent people, inside and out, layer upon layer, staring at the yamen a flood.

Even if a mouse runs out, someone will catch it, dissect it, and see if there is anything inside?

What's more, it was the dignified Duke of Wei Guo, who was actually called over by Tang Yi, and came out dejected.

What's going on?

Immediately, someone would make a noise, saying that Tang Yi scolded Xu Pengju for his incompetence, and threatened to impeach and take down his Duke of Wei, and moved out all the things that the Xu family had taken over the years, making Xu Pengju stunned, cold sweat, and scared out of the yamen.

Tang Jingluo, to fight Wei Guogong, a very good show, the big guys all polished their eyes, waiting for both sides to appear on the stage, playing drums and tuning strings, tossing a world upside down, who knew that it was unexpected, and the actions of both sides were surprising.

First of all, Xu Pengju, who was scolded in the legend and suffered a loss, returned to the mansion and immediately ordered to close the door tightly, and no one was seen, and asked Pegasus to find several sons, lock them in the house, and discuss countermeasures.

The big guys are secretly pondering, sure enough, Tang Yi has two brushes, if this is someone else, can the Wei State Mansion swallow his anger, how can he not fight back immediately?

In the end, whether Xu Pengju broke out in silence or was silent in silence, everyone didn't believe that Tang Yi had the ability to destroy a hereditary grandfather.

shifted his gaze from Xu Pengju's side to Tang Yi's side, and the big guy couldn't understand it even more.

After Tang Yi saw Xu Pengju, he seemed to have no such person, and threw him aside, and he didn't care about the affairs of Suzhou, and he hid in the yamen all day long, and he didn't know what to do.

After ten days of waiting, people from all over the country rushed to Nanjing, including Hangzhou, Huizhou, Fujian, Jiangxi, Huguang, and Suzhou, all of whom were top businessmen and families.

After a few days of hard work, there were forty or fifty people. Their worth combined, converted into silver, will be at least more than one billion taels, of course, Tang Yi can't be counted, otherwise with the shares of the traffic bank he controls, one person will kill all these people in seconds.

Everyone gathered in Nanjing, Tang Yi chose a quiet garden to entertain guests from all over the world, among which the businessmen from Zhejiang and Fujian were the most happy, talking loudly and loudly than anyone else.

I heard the businessmen of Quanzhou say: "Lord Tang has been in our Quanzhou for the longest time, opening the market, practicing water masters, carrying the Japanese robbers, we Quanzhou up and down, all support the adults, that is intimate, a family." ”

"Forget it!" The businessman in Hangzhou quit and refuted: "Don't forget, Lord Tang has also been the prefect of Hangzhou, and has also founded three major colleges, and now Lord Wei is still in Hangzhou, forgive me, we and Lord Tang are still apprentices!" ”

They are bragging to each other here, competing for a close, businessmen in Huguang, Jiangxi, Huizhou and other places can't help but be envious, but whoever makes their relationship with Tang Yi relatively far away can only be greedy.

The most embarrassing thing here is this group of people in Suzhou, all of them have red faces and swallow their anger, who is the closest to Tang Yi, except for Suzhou businessmen, who else can there be?

Tang Yi is a native of Suzhou, the headquarters of the traffic line is still in Suzhou, and the daughter-in-law he married is also the daughter of the Taicang royal family, who can compete with them?

It's just that Suzhou is in chaos, and it hasn't been calmed down yet, they are all weak and timid, and they haven't spoken yet, they are all a little shorter, for fear of provoking Tang Yi's anger, they all want to stuff their heads under the table, don't let Tang Yi see it.

But there are more than a dozen big living people, who can't see them.

Tang Yi walked out from behind, and his eyes fell on this group of people first, making everyone shrink their necks and sweat on their noses. Fortunately, after only one glance, he turned to other merchants, and could only secretly pat his chest and shout luck.

"Hehe, Tang has been away from the southeast for many years, and the big guy can still appreciate his face, I'm really flattered, nothing else, I'm going to entertain the big guy today and serve the food!"

Tang Yi waved his hand, and some maids floated to the front of each table like butterflies, holding mahogany trays in their hands, with silver cutlery in them, glowing with soft light.

At first glance, it is a good thing, Tang Yi is delicious, everyone knows it, it looks like there is a blessing today.

The maids placed the plates in front of everyone, removed the lids, and walked away.

Curious people, stretched out their heads to look together, only to see a bowl of white water, extremely clear, could it be boiling water cabbage? But that's a little color, this one doesn't have any color at all, it's white water!

Tang Yi also held a bowl in his hand, and smiled and signaled to the big guy, someone picked up the bowl, took a sip, took another sip, and drank all the bowls, but he felt sweet, it was sugar water!

Look at me, I'll look at you, my heart said What kind of game is this playing Lord Tang, some people say, you don't understand, your surname is Tang, please drink sugar water, it means that adults and we are heart-to-heart, and we are a family.

After the explanation of the "master", the big guys suddenly realized and stretched out their thumbs one by one.

Tang Yi couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, his imagination was so rich.

"Everyone, let's stop playing dumb riddles, this is just an ordinary bowl of sugar water, other than that, I didn't prepare anything, but this alone, the amount is enough, don't you say?"

Just now, the "master" stood up again, "What the adults said is extremely true, as the so-called thousands of miles to send goose feathers, the courtesy is light and affectionate." The deep friendship of adults, the small ones are inscribed with five feelings, and they are all hot, they are really moved, the parents of those who gave birth to me, and the adults who know me, you are like timely rain, and you are like ......"

"You take a break."

Tang Yi was really defeated by this sycophant, don't waste spitting, hurry up and get down to business.

"Ladies and gentlemen, open the door to seven things, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, things that ordinary people can't live without. If you are a little wealthy, this eighth thing is sugar, the so-called sweet in the south and salty in the north, spicy in the east and sour in the west, the taste is different in various places, but there are few people who don't like to eat sugar, even if they don't put it when cooking, snacks, sugar cubes, not only children like it, adults also like it. ”

Everyone nodded along with them, but they didn't know what Tang Yi was going to say.

"A small sugar is a big business, and the profit is no less than salt. In recent years, the southeast has become more and more affluent, and as far as I know, the price of grain in the market has increased by more than 30%, but the price of sugar has more than tripled. ”

"Yes, yes!" A businessman from Quanzhou stood up, bowed down and said: "My lord, the small one deals in white sugar under his name, and most of them are trafficked from Liangguang, and the price of sugar has skyrocketed in recent years, and the sugar in Guangdong is not enough to sell. ”

The other merchants also talked about sugar. People live well, they will eat a lot of sugar, sweet in the south and sweet in the north, the history of planting sugarcane Tang Yi is not clear, but he knows that the Ming people invented a magical method, after the sugarcane is boiled into syrup, it is yellow and black, but after being drenched with yellow mud water, it will become white as snow, called frosted sugar, the value has increased sharply, a pound of good frosted sugar, in the southeast can be sold for three dollars of silver, more expensive than salt.

There is no doubt that growing sugar cane to extract sugar will definitely make a fortune.

These businessmen are more shrewd than monkeys, Tang Yi mentioned the words, they guessed it, their eyes lit up, and they asked excitedly: "My lord, do you know where there is a treasure land for producing sugar?" ”

"I don't know if the treasure land counts, but there is a fertile plain that is nearly 400 miles long and 80 miles wide at its widest, how many fields can be opened up, almost 5 million acres, maybe more! are suitable for planting sugarcane, rice, fish and rice country, the land of ointment, the best thing is that there is no owner, more than three crops a year......"

Listening to Tang Yi's words, everyone present felt that the blood all over their bodies was rushing to their heads, their little faces were red, and their blood vessels were also expanding, and they unconsciously licked their lips, just like a bloodthirsty beast smelling fishy.

Five million acres of land!

What a fat piece that is!

Take the first big landlord in the southeast, the Xu family in Huating, for example, Xu Jie's career has been in the business for more than 20 years, and the Xu family has taken advantage of the tricks and forced other people's families to die, exhausted despicable means, and carried countless infamy, and the farmland and mulberry fields added up to only six or seven hundred thousand mu.

Five million acres, almost catching up with ten Xu families.

It's still a place of ignorance, no need to bear infamy, three crops a year, more fertile than Jiangnan, it's a treasure land of flowing oil, who can not salivate, can't wait to get it in their hands immediately.

The big guy knows that Tang Yi is not a person who talks about it, he dares to say it, there must be, the current problem is how to eat it in his mouth.

There were some shrewd people present, especially the group in Suzhou, they had tasted it, no wonder Tang Yi was not in a hurry to go to Suzhou to solve the chaos, he was confident!

Such a big piece of cake is placed there, and these merchant families in the southeast still kneel down and beg Tang Yi one by one to share a little benefit from them!

At that time, Suzhou will be completely isolated, become a swimming fish at the bottom of the kettle, jumping for a few days, the big guy is so anxious that he is sweating, one of them has a middle-aged man with a calm face, thought for a long time, and suddenly asked: "My lord, if the little one guessed correctly, the place you said should be in Dongfan Island, right?" ”

Tang Yi showed a hint of surprise, he didn't expect anyone else to be able to say it, he nodded.

The middle-aged man followed up and asked, "Dongfan Island is not a borderland, don't adults deceive the little ones?" ”

The others all changed their faces and looked at Tang Yi in surprise, full of doubts.

Tang Yi said with a smile: "You're right, but the owner of Dongfan Island wants to sell all these lands, and it depends on whether the big guy has the courage to eat it." (To be continued.) )
