Liu Li, Liu Wu and Cao Shou were also dragged into the chaos, after all, a large amount of money was in the account, as well as big things such as using food to offset money, goods to exchange quotas, etc., the housekeeper could not call the shots, and they were all busy.

Liu Li and Liu Wu were still whispering on the side for a while before they were busy, and after they finished speaking, the anxiety and anxiety consciousness of the two of them were all gone, after all, they were all shrewd people, and they had already understood Li Han's intention to do this, so they felt that this child was simply a master.

Since there are no worries, it is very efficient to be busy, and the merchants who use the goods as collateral are all assigned by Liu Li, and he orders his subordinates to take the merchants to pay the goods and grain, and transport them to the riverside bank, and the temporary warehouse set up by the Development Office is warehoused.

Liu Li, who had already understood Li Han's intentions, set the exchange rate very favorably when approving the standard of material investment, which was much more cost-effective than directly using money to buy shares.

Merchants will settle accounts, and the exchange rate is more affordable than selling grain, so not only grain merchants pour out their inventory to buy shares, but even businessmen who are not grain merchants also want to buy grain, and then exchange grain for money to buy shares.

The matter of money belonged to Liu Wu, and there was no bank in this era, of course, there could be no checks, so heavy brass ingots and even copper coins were transported in stacks and stored by Liu Wu.

As for Cao Shou, he is even busier, many of the terms on the contract are professional terms that Jiangnan officials and businessmen have never seen, and he is on the way here, so that Li Han can understand all the teachings by hand, and now, he has become the most professional and senior legal adviser, sitting in front of Liu Wuxian to answer the eyebrows, the sense of accomplishment is bursting.

Everyone was busy, and only Lord Li Han stretched out his legs and slept sweetly on the mat on the wooden platform.

The officials and businessmen wished that Li Han would not make trouble and regret it, seeing that he was snoring in the sun, they looked at each other and smiled, very proud. felt that the lord regretted not succeeding, and a person felt bored and had to sleep.

This busy is busy until sunset, lunch is eaten on the wooden platform, Li Han is quite depressed, should eat, drink, but do not talk much, but did not leave in advance, some people do not understand the location of the investment and the project asked him, he will also explain it very carefully one by one. But it doesn't have the hearty and free bearing before at all.

Li Han's expression greatly satisfied the mentality of investors taking advantage, it is simply that the lower he is, the more satisfied those people are, and when those people leave with their contracts in hand, and only Zuo Wen and a few of them are left on the scene, Li Han stretched his waist and stood up.

"Alright, it's almost done, right? Then call it a day and go back to bed, exhausted! ”

Li Han finished muttering, jumped off the high platform and left first. completely ignored Zuo Wen, as if Zuo Wen owed him 800 hanging money.

Zuo Wen didn't feel embarrassed to be left out in the cold, and accompanied Liu Wu and Liu Li to follow behind with a smile, Liu Wu smiled and said, "Zuo Junshou don't have the same knowledge as Li Han." This kid didn't sleep well last night, and he had a lot of trouble today. ”

Zuo Wen said with a hearty smile: "No blame, no blame, no blame!" The lord has worked hard for my Jiangnan development, and he must be in poor spirits, and some temper should be. This is all due to our ineffective guidance, the lord doesn't blame us, it's that he is broad-minded, how can we blame the lord. Hahaha! ”

Liu Li said meaningfully: "This kid never makes trouble for no reason, I always feel that he is a little weird today." But no matter what happens, as long as he can sleep, I don't think we need to worry. ”

Liu Wu immediately nodded and said: "Yes, the biggest characteristic of this kid is that he keeps his promises, as long as he makes no promises, even I am ashamed of this." ”

Zuo Wen thought he understood, but in fact, he was confused, how did he know that these two masters were giving him vaccinations, and then nodded his head again and again, praising the lord for being a young hero.

sent several masters all the way into the garden, Zuo Wen was also tired for a day, so he went home to sleep with a beautiful dream of making a fortune.

Everyone went to Liu Li's residence first, closed the door, Cao Shou couldn't bear to ask Li Han what was going on today, Li Han was still lazy, stretched out his legs and lay on Liu Li's couch with his eyes closed.

Liu Wu smiled and said, "Han'er used this trick well today!" It not only stimulates the sense of urgency of investment for these people who are eager to make a fortune, but also takes precautions, leaks the news of famine and war, and forces them to make a promise that they will not come to recover the principal even if the development is delayed for a year, and when the news is made public, they have nothing to say!

This trick is really wonderful enough, and the uncle is ashamed of himself! ”

At this moment, Cao Shou's confusion was completely solved, he first stared at the lazy Li Han with round eyes, and then slapped his forehead violently, let out a painful moan from his mouth, and popped out a word copied from Li Han's mouth: "Damn! Then, he collapsed on the chair and continued to plagiarize: "It's all people, why is the gap so big?" ”

Liu Wule laughed: "Hahaha, Shou'er, you don't have to be sad, Li Han's heart and eyes are no one in the Han Dynasty who can compare, and the uncle sighed to himself just now, let alone you!" ”

Li Han sat up at this time, but he completely lost his laziness and banter, and said in a deep voice with great caution: "Now that everyone understands my intentions, I won't say more, now we are very nervous, I estimate that the only time we can use is tonight and tomorrow, and at the latest in the morning of the day after tomorrow, the locust swarm will be overwhelming, and at that time, we will not be able to leave if we want to!"

So now everyone can hurry up to rest and rest, Uncle Liu and others will order the fleet to assemble quickly, and tonight all the goods paid by the merchants today will be loaded and left first, if Zuo Wen and others ask, they will say that they are transported to the development site of Hangzhou City, and the ship can be driven away in the direction of Hangzhou first, and go north from Taihu Lake.

Tomorrow day, we will seize the time, use a qiē method to scavenge the grain, and buy all the grain in the grain merchant warehouse that has not participated in the development of Hangzhou City, which can really be stored by Uncle Liu, but you must remember not to release it lightly, you have to wait until the hungry people are all over the wilderness, and the people are not able to make a living. ”

Liu Li turned around sharply and stared at Li Han and asked, "What's the matter, can't you hold on for even three days?" So you say, what kind of people are not living well? ”

Li Han said coldly: "Only when people start to starve to death can they release food." ”

Cao Shou had already given up pretending to be dead, sat up straight and listened to Li Han's words with wide eyes, and at this moment he gasped and said, "Oh my God! Li Han, aren't you embarrassed for Uncle Liu? If the people of Jiangnan knew that he had food in his hands, but waited for starvation to die before he started to release it, maybe he would rebel! ”

Li Han said: "Uncle Liu can handle it. ”

Looking at Cao Shou's unbelievable expression, Li Han sighed and explained, "Big brother, do you know how long this famine will last?" After the locusts, there is not an inch of grass left, Jiangnan is a little better, three or four percent of the grain has been harvested, and the rest is absolutely not left.

The locust plague will be followed by a great drought, and winter wheat will not be sown, and this winter will be extremely cold, and next year's summer harvest will be difficult to expect, and even wild grasses will be difficult to germinate.

If the food is distributed at the beginning, the people will not look for edible grass roots and bark, once those things lose their feeding effect due to drought, at least hundreds of thousands of people will starve to death, and then the food will be distributed, that is the greatest sorrow!

Therefore, at the beginning, you must be ruthless, even if you walk on the street and see everyone with yellow muscles and thin abdomen like a drum, you can't start to put grain rashly, and when you want to squeeze the vitality of the people to a minimum, you can set up a porridge shack and mix it with wild vegetables to make porridge and hang their lives.

Even so......

Alas! It's hard to guarantee that you won't be able to survive the famine......"

Listening to Li Han's heavy sigh, and the thick fear spreading in his eyes, he couldn't help but shudder as old as Liu Wu and Liu Li, Liu Wu hurriedly roared and grabbed Li Han and asked, "Is there really that strict?" How do you know that there is a great drought after the locust plague? ”

"It's common sense, my teacher taught it."

Liu Wu was shocked, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Oh my God, is it that the sky is going to kill my big man?" ”

Li Han shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily, what does Uncle Liu think?" ”

Liu Li had been touching his beard and groaning, and when he heard Li Han ask him, he said in a heavy voice: "Since you have handed over such a heavy burden to me, I will definitely do my best to provide disaster relief and strive to make the people of Jiangnan starve to death a little less."

By the way, Han'er, you said at the county guard yamen today that you guarantee that the development of Hangzhou will be delayed for no more than one year, do you really plan to postpone the development? ”

Li Han shook his head and said: "I'm just taking precautions, in fact, my idea is not to stop the development, you can use the excuse of taking care of the people's food to stimulate the people to work on the construction site, but in this case, I am afraid that you will have a reputation for being mean and unkind." ”

Cao Shou shouted, "Why? If Uncle Liu gives food to the people who have no food, it is a great act of kindness, how can anyone say that he is mean and unkind? ”

Liu Wu smiled bitterly: "Silly boy, in the year of the catastrophe, how can the people's food be good?" It's good to have a mouthful of wild vegetable porridge for them to eat, those people do heavy work, but they can't eat enough, where can you Uncle Liu still have a good reputation!

It is better to suspend development, and when the people are exhausted, they will come forward to open porridge sheds to relieve disasters and save people, and the public opinion will be more acceptable, and it can also be praised and recognized by the court and officials. ”

Cao Shou suddenly realized, and said with a sad face: "Yes, this is really troublesome, Uncle Liu, what are you going to do?" ”

Liu Li looked out of the door coldly and didn't speak for a long time.

Cao Shou suddenly became excited, his eyes jumped up with a glow, and he shook Li Han's face and said with a flushed face: "Li Han, Li Han!" Have you forgotten one thing? (To be continued......)
