Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Old Lady of the Ruined Hou Mansion (22)
"Old lady, since we are going to do escort business, shouldn't the weapons on the ship be ......?"
Hu Yinglong rubbed his hands and asked with a smile.
Qiao Mulang laughed:
"Naturally, there will be no shortage of firearms, but for the time being, you have to slow down for the time being, the ships you are using now cannot be equipped with some heavy firearms, new large ships are being built, and when the new ships are equipped with thirty-two giant guns, which are specially used for long-distance sailing, and when the new ships are built, the corresponding weapons will be ready.
By the way, what is the current situation of the islands on the other side of the South Sea, and how many are they occupied? ”
Qiao Mu's original plan was to make money and occupy both hands, and it seems that there is no problem in making money at present, as long as there is no accident in the future, it is no problem to enter the account with one or two million taels of silver every year, and there may be more with the increase in the radiation scope of trade in the future.
Next, it is natural to focus on the area of land, not only for the sake of arable land, but also to leave a way back for the family.
"Old lady, we have to occupy dozens of islands on the other side of the South Sea, anyway, a circle of islands near Marina Bay have been occupied by us, but the area of the islands over there is not very large, the largest one has a total area of no more than 1,000 hectares, and a few small ones are only 180 hectares of land, and the sea will not be able to withstand a little wind and waves, and it may have to be flooded, so we only dare to reclaim some fields on the larger islands, and the rest of the islands are still barren, and only a few fishing bases have been built. Fishing on the spot and drying the fish on the spot, although the dried fish is not very profitable, it is better than wasting.
At present, we are still too few people, and there are some places that cannot be managed even if they are occupied, but this year there was a major flood near Dinghai, and it is said that millions of people were affected, and the disaster relief funds from the imperial court have not yet been allocated, so I would like to ask, can we take the opportunity to gather some people to help. ”
Hu Yinglong's meaning is obvious, if you want to collect the victims, you must spend money and spend money to buy food, so he came here to ask for the right to use the money and grain.
Qiao Mu didn't hesitate at all in this regard, and asked directly: "It's no problem."
However, you have to give me a precise number of how much silver and grain you need and how many victims can be collected, and I can make a targeted allocation. ”
"It's really hard to say.
Old lady, that's the case, we don't know when the imperial court's disaster relief funds will arrive there, and we don't know how much the disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court will be greedy, so the specific situation is not easy to say, before the imperial court's disaster relief funds are not allocated, about three or five taels of silver with dozens of catties of food, you can find a way to pull a person, and if you are lucky, you can even pull a large family, but if the imperial court's disaster relief funds are allocated, it will be much more difficult after the news spreads, at least double to pull a disaster victim, However, if the funds of the imperial court are seriously embezzled, and in the end many people find that they cannot share them at all, the cost of wooing the victims will be reduced a lot, and they can even give them food directly without money, and they will be willing to follow.
In fact, when an accident occurs when the imperial court's disaster relief funds are allocated, it is the best time to pull people, but now we don't know the situation of the imperial court, so we can only try to pull people before the imperial court disaster relief funds are allocated. ”
Hu Yinglong said this is really not a blind want to pick money or something, these are real situations, the situation at the beginning can be called the panic stage, the panic stage can pull people, but these people are not desperate, so the cost of pulling people is slightly higher, the stage of the disaster relief funds is called the hope stage, at this time, everyone still has hope for the court, thinking that the court can save them, so they don't care much about the pull of others, everyone still hopes to get the disaster relief money, and then go home again, Settle down again, but if something goes wrong with the disaster relief money, or if they don't get it at all, then they will enter the final phase of despair, at which point the demands will be lowered a lot, as long as they stutter and starve to death.
This is the way of change in people's hearts.
"You think very comprehensively, it seems that I really didn't see the wrong person, so let's do it, I will first allocate 500,000 taels of silver to you, and then all the food in your hands will be called by you, as many people as possible, anyway, there is a lot of land overseas, and those small countries overseas have no means of resistance, pull a little more people, get more weapons, and you can fight it down soon, you don't have to worry about the land is not enough, and the 500,000 taels of silver are mainly used in the case before the imperial court disaster relief."
I hope to reach 100,000 people.
There are no restrictions on men, women and children, but try to pick younger ones, and older ones with skills as well.
After that, depending on the situation, if the imperial court disaster relief goes well, then forget it, if the imperial court disaster relief is unfavorable, then I will find a way to allocate a batch of food for you, you remember to monitor the situation over there in time, my side is far away from the capital, I can only know how much disaster relief money has been allocated, but how much can be implemented, the speed of my side to learn is not as fast as your side. ”
With more than 10 million funds in hand, more and more people in hand, more and more land, and the ambition of the arbor is getting bigger and bigger, the capital is to be guarded by force, and the capital without the protection of force is like a piece of fat that is sparkling, anyone can go up and take a bite, and the arbor does not want to be divided by others by the net worth that he has saved so hard, so it is necessary to make some preparations in advance, accumulate force and build the last way back.
Besides, it's a good feeling.
It feels like a business growth game.
Of course, it's much more difficult to really do these things than the game, the game only needs to click OK, click OK, it's a big deal to have some krypton gold, but there are too many things to consider in reality, everything else is easy to do, technology and funds are easy to do, the most difficult thing to figure out and control is the human heart, Qiao Mu has suffered many times in the past world, and has learned to see the way of employing people, but even so, she doesn't dare to guarantee that she can see accurately every time she looks at people, let alone guarantee that her subordinates will not betray or anythingcan only be as thoughtful as possible.
"Okay, old lady, 500,000 taels should be no problem to pull 100,000 people, but, old lady, do you want to build a country overseas?
Or do you want to do something? ”
Hu Yinglong was a little excited, of course he was not angry, he was thinking that if the old lady really wanted to build a country overseas or something, then with his achievements over the years, how could he get a good position, although he may only be an official of a small overseas country, but it is also an official.
