Chapter 14 Fooling the landlord to invest

In March 1909, Qin Yu began to work on the landlords after stabilizing the foundation of southern Anhui, he needed a lot of land and the support of farmers, so he began to attack the landlords, and it was nice to say that southern Anhui is now Qin Yu's world, and if those landlords do not cooperate, they will not blame Qin Yu for being ruthless.

The landlords in southern Anhui all received an invitation letter from Qin Yu, which said that Qin Yu was going to hold a luxurious banquet, and at the same time explained that there would be a lot of business cooperation. But almost all the landlords knew that this was a Hongmen banquet, and they thought that there must be nothing good for Qin Yu to ask them to go, but they couldn't help but go, because Qin Yu is now the sky in southern Anhui, and there is the behemoth of the Qin Group, who dares not to go, if you don't go, you will go against the entire Qin family, and if you want to die, don't go.

Of course, there will be some people who think that they can not go to the Qing court, and they will just leave southern Anhui when the time comes, but what they don't know is that Qin Yu has already asked people to strictly control the entire passage of southern Anhui to go out, as long as the landlord family who does not go to the banquet runs out, they will be wiped out, and the list of landlords in southern Anhui has already reached the hands of the soldiers.

In the hall of a landlord's house in southern Anhui, a few people were discussing something, it turned out that several landlords nearby were discussing Qin Yu's banquet, and a person surnamed Zhang asked: "What do you say the young master of the Qin family intends for this banquet?" ”

A man surnamed Xu said: "What can we have, what can we be eye-catching by him, such a big family business of the Qin family group will care about your small property, I guess it may be that we want to take out the field in our hands, but I heard the news that the Qin family is now making a farm and is still buying a lot of land." ”

Another surnamed Lin also raised his own question: "That's right, but what are we going to do, do we have to take it out?" ”

A man surnamed Gong said very disdainfully: "If you don't take it out, do you want to fight against Qin Yu's new army, can you resist the blow of the Qin Clan's firm, do you still want everyone to resist together like before?" Don't be naΓ―ve, now the whole of southern Anhui is Qin Yu's, depending on whether we, the servants of the courtyard, can win the battle by then, do you think the current imperial court will not be able to get along with the Qin firm, I don't care, as long as he gives me enough benefits, I will not joke with my net worth and life. ”

Listening to this person's words, these people were silent, thinking about whether they would also gamble with their lives, but in their minds, the field is their lifeblood, as long as there is a field, the family will not decline, and even if it declines, it will not starve to death.

At this time, the surnamed Gong said: "I have a friend's child who works in the Qin family trading house is in the new army, I heard him say that now the new army has guarded the passage out, even the Yangtze River has guarded, I heard that there are some lists written on each family have been issued, what do you say this is going to do, isn't this waiting for us to rebel?" ”

This statement scared the few landlords who were thinking deeply half to death, which shows that Qin Yu has already figured out how to attack them, and just now he wanted to kill them, but now he is in a cold sweat, and he is really in danger to his own surname, they can do anything to save their lives, not to mention taking out those fields, even their wives and children can be sold.

However, the surnamed Gong continued: "My friend said that this may also be an opportunity for us, Qin Yu wants our land to be robbed, we must pay, my friend said that Qin Yu wants to run a lot of factories, maybe he will give some shares to us, you see that the Qin family firm has been not rich in recent years, those white flowers of silver are genuine, how can our fields not produce those silver, besides, bandits are rampant in these years, our fields may be taken away." ”

Those few landlords think about it, those who followed the Qin family to drink soup made a fortune, and now those people look down on them who guard two acres of land, and they will not hesitate to follow the Qin family if they want this opportunity.

In the end, the last few people decided to take a good look at the benefits that Qin Yu gave out, and if it was really feasible, they would do it, after all, they still care about their own lives, and if you have money, you will not be brainless.

The surname Gong is actually a trust that Qin Yu is looking for, and there are several other places where this scene is also being staged, what Qin Yu wants is to disintegrate these landlords from the inside, to prevent them from really concentrating on opposition, and if they concentrate on opposition, it will be difficult to do it at that time, after all, Qin Yu is not ready to rise up.

On the day of the start of the banquet, after Qin Yu prepared a qiΔ“, in order to highlight the effect, he specially invited some landlord families who followed the Qin family to show up, which would also reduce a lot of trouble.

This time, Qin Yu took Erin to the banquet, which pushed Erin to the domestic circle for the first time, and he also needed Erin to manage his next industry, which is also a very important industry.

When those landlords came one by one, the banquet was going on on time, and Qin Yu began to get into the main topic when everyone was almost eating: "I have some opportunities to make a fortune and want to share it with everyone, I don't know if you want to hear it?" ”

When Qin Yu spoke, these landlords were very nervous, listening carefully, nodding in unison when they heard Qin Yu's words, and then listening carefully.

Qin Yu looked at these landlords and replied: "I want to open some factories to rejuvenate the country, namely cement factories, flour mills, fire material factories, shipyards, fertilizer factories, tobacco factories, etc., which require a lot of funds, these factories are sure to make money without losing money, I decided to invest no less than 50 million taels of silver, these all need your help, if you are not enough, you can buy land or other things into shares, and I also want to buy a lot of land from you, but the price will not be very high." ”

After hearing this, the landlords' eyes lit up at first, and then they soon disappeared, and they were very silent when they heard that they were going to sell the land, and no one said anything, but those who were following the Qin family said without hesitation: "Young Master Qin, we want to invest, if you want to buy land, we can sell it, but can we have more shares?" ”

"Yes, after the banquet, someone will discuss it with you, don't you want to get rich?"

These landlords, you look at me, I look at you, in the end, there are still many people who decided to follow Qin Yu to make a fortune on the spot, but there are still a third of them hesitating, and finally Qin Yu took heavy medicine: "Now there are many people who have made a decision, just waiting for you, this world is very chaotic, although my rule is still stable, no one knows if there will be any bandits who have missed and not caught, I heard that some families have cooperated with bandits and even shielded those bandits who escaped." ”

The rest of the families knew that Qin Yu was starting to be ruthless, and many of them knew that they would die if they continued like this, and they all said that they wanted to cooperate, and some families were still very uncooperative, they thought that the Qin family was at most an upstart, where could it compare to their own century-old family or something, although they didn't face Qin Yu on the spot, they still said that they would go back and think about it for a few days.

Qin Yu looked at the remaining landlords and sneered in his heart, you are nothing without land, you don't want to give you face, I still pay so much price, you are still shameless, then don't blame me.

Those families who did not cooperate politely left after a few words, and the remaining families who cooperated, Qin Yu officially introduced Erin to them, and said that Erin would have full authority to deal with these things, and this time Huaxing Group was established, with Erin as the president of the group. These landlords were very happy to see that it was Qin Yu's wife in charge and that he was a powerful Westerner, after all, the Qing court in this period was very afraid of Westerners.

Qin Yu successfully fooled the landlords into industry, not only got a lot of money, but also obtained a lot of land, and tied those landlords and wealthy families to himself. Those who did not cooperate were not convicted of colluding with bandits and were confiscated, or they were directly robbed and exterminated by the remaining "bandits", and those who wanted to escape from southern Anhui were directly exterminated by the "bandits" on the road.

After Qin Yu got the land, he used most of it to build farms, and only a small part was sold to farmers at a low price, and Qin Yu also asked those landlords to reduce rent and interest, which made Qin Yu gain a lot of support from farmers, and some farmers even made immortal tablets for Qin Yu at home to worship, if Qin Yu knew about it, I don't know what he would think.
