Chapter 67: Their Way to Wealth
Wang Xinren borrowed money from HSBC Bank, and he asked for interest every month.
In addition, he still has to raise nearly 200 people under his hands.
So during these days, he was very anxious.
Wang Xinren thinks every day, how to repay his debt?
Gaofeng City has become a dead city that has been flooded......
There were corpses everywhere, there was a terrible stench everywhere, and he felt bad when he smelled it!
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and in a short period of time, they used up almost all the water in the pond.
So, what they're worried about now is, where exactly should they go to fetch water?
Furthermore, it is the kind of fresh clean water......
Gao Fengcheng is now under the roasting of high temperatures, and there is no vitality at all. The people who survived, everyone was skinny and had a dish. It looks like they're malnourished.
Although they have fish to eat these days, they don't have fish to eat every day.
Besides, the new county magistrate is now a particularly ruthless person in their eyes.
If they do something that doesn't go his way, they will be tied up and beaten.
Some people will be tortured repeatedly, and if they don't pay attention, they will lose their lives.
In addition, in the recent past, there have been people who have been sick everywhere, people who have high fevers everywhere, and people who have vomited and diarrhea everywhere, and those survivors in Gaofeng City have not shown the slightest smile on their faces.
Seeing that the people under his hands had become so virtuous and lifeless, Wang Xinren's heart felt particularly uncomfortable.
So, he followed his master's advice.
Asked someone to gather all the current survivors of Gaofeng City.
He told them to hurry up and carry all the corpses of every family out of the city.
Including those who are infected with diseases, they are all driven away.
As a result, Gaofeng City became even more empty than before.
Seeing such an empty city that was almost empty, Wang Xinren really regretted not being at the beginning.
He complained to his eldest wife and brother-in-law and second brother-in-law several times, "I knew that I was such a pit!" ”
"If this is a fat poor, those who see money will emerge one by one......"
Seeing Wang Xinren losing his temper every day, his eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law could only hold back the impatience in their hearts and comfort him every day, "My lord, there are many good things." We all have to think about the good in our troubles......"
"Although this Gaofeng city has been flooded, and so many people have died. However, there are still a lot of valuable things in the city. ”
"Or, we, the 200 people, go out every day, and scrape street by street?"
"In this way, sir, won't you pay back the money you borrowed?"
"What if we can't scrape together 12,000 silver with all the things we take along the street? Then, when the time comes, we can also gather all the people who are alive in Gaofeng City and go to the surrounding villages to collect money? ”
"The flooding of Gaofeng City does not mean that other villages have also been flooded......
Wang Xinren heard his eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law, as well as the two masters, and those servants, all say this, and soon, he nodded and agreed.
Gaofeng City is still relatively large.
In the past, there were quite a few shops in this place.
Wang Xinren let the people under his hands, shop by store, and in less than half a month, the county government in Gaofeng City was filled with all kinds of materials.
So, Wang Xinren discussed it with his master. He first wrote letters to his relatives and friends in his hometown.
Then, when those relatives and friends received the letter, they hurriedly raised funds and fought for people, and after asking them to build a caravan, they came to Gaofeng City in a mighty way.
In less than half a month, the caravan that the Wang family had temporarily assembled had already arrived in Gaofeng City.
After arriving at this place, Wang Xinren sold all the goods that had already been sold by the government to his own people.
……
In the more than half a month that the clansmen set off and then arrived here, Wang Xinren contacted the major money banks.
Let them hurry over and collect the supplies.
In addition, Wang Xinren used the money he got to go to the meeting and fell on top of his bosses.
Those who were officials saw that he had just become an official, and they were so on the road, and they praised him at that time.
They all think he is quite sensible.
It can be said that as soon as Wang Xinren took office, he made a lot of windfalls.
All kinds of money and materials were put together, and he got almost 400,000 taels of silver.
Including what he did, what he bribed, what he sold cheaply, and distributed it to his subordinates, he actually only spent 300,000 taels of silver.
got 400,000 taels of silver at once, and Wang Xinren returned all the 1,200 taels of silver he bought from the official at that time.
suddenly repaid the loan, and Wang Xinren had no pressure in his heart.
After paying off so many debts, Wang Xinren decided to quickly requisition the surrounding farmers and peasant women.
Repair the walls of Gaofeng Castle.
Repair the collapsed houses in Gaofeng City.
So, Wang Xinren's nearly 200 entourage began to take the survivors of Gaofeng City to look for people everywhere.
……
During this period, the temperature outside is getting higher and higher. The Wu family all chose to sleep in the cave during the day. Go fishing in the river at night in the dark.
Moreover, under Wu Guifang's supervision, everyone in the family stopped going to the bunker to farm.
They don't go out and grow fruits and vegetables.
Wu Guifang's collection of ginger, peppers, loofahs, cucumbers, potatoes and other things is almost piled up!
Moreover, Wu Guifang felt that in the cave, he could plant value. It's so hot outside, there's no need to go outside.
If they accidentally get heat stroke, get sick, and collapse their bodies, then won't they lose a lot?
Wu Guifang wanted everyone in the family to be well, and Wu Hongsheng was particularly in favor.
Some time ago, his daughter-in-law made the reason clear with him. So, he figured it out. No more chances.
He decided that his family would never go to the bunker on the hill again.
Because those people are so rampant.
At this time, they still can't recognize the situation.
It's still the same as the older generation.
I always feel that they are outsiders and are easy to bully.
In that case, they won't go over there to help.
Anyway, they're in that place, and they can't please them. It's still not okay to stick your own hot face to other people's cold butts all the time.
Wu Guifang actually understands the little thoughts in Wu Hongsheng's stomach.
He just thought that there is great strength in numbers, and unity is strength.
However, unity is strength, and there is a premise, and that is ,...... All of them should be their own people.
