Chapter 261: Reclamation of Wasteland

"Very good, since everyone is not opposed, then now we have to choose a person in charge to follow us, which of you wants to go?" Tang Mian asked, but he didn't expect that it was shrimp that raised his hand.

"Aren't you strongly opposed to me buying land? Why are you willing to go to the frontier again? Facing Tang Mianshuang's questioning, Xiami scratched her head a little embarrassed.

He is against going to the frontier to buy land and open up wasteland, and I have heard that the scenery of the frontier is a must. I put my mind to go and appreciate the local customs, no, the master has decided, since he can't resist, he can only accept it.

Taking advantage of the fact that the donation money had not yet been made, Tang Mian asked someone to count who was willing to follow the shrimp to the frontier to reclaim wasteland.

The conditions she offered were very attractive, not only did she return the deed of sale to them, but her salary in the first three years was 5 times more than in the imperial city, and she would buy a house and land according to the needs of each family after arriving.

Everyone was a little excited when the conditions came out, but there were still many people who were worried that they would not be able to adapt to the climate or have no chance to continue reading and writing after going there.

After Tang Mian learned about it, she told everyone that the ten places she selected, in addition to inconvenient transportation, are all good places to live with beautiful mountains and rivers and outstanding people.

If someone really can't stand the weather there, they can ask Xiami to leave, and they can leave at any time.

When they arrived, they would ask a few masters to teach them to continue reading and writing.

In this way, there were nearly 300 people under Tang Mian, and there were nearly 275 people who wanted to go with him.

In order to reduce the goal, he asked Xiami to set off with the fifty people, and then a few days later, after preparing the carriage, he asked Uncle Zhao to set off with the fifty people. Let them go to Suihua County and several neighboring counties in batches.

In this way, on the day of the official donation of silver, most of Tang Mian's subordinates left.

As soon as the people left, the houses and everything were empty.

She asked Tian Bo to go to the Yamen, and several houses were all sold.

Boss Sun heard that Tang Mian began to sell the house.

took some silver and came directly to the door and said that he wanted to repay some of the money first, but before he finished speaking, Tang Mian dragged him into the house.

Tang Mian said that after a long time, she saw that Boss Sun still didn't believe it, she had no choice, so she analyzed the current situation, and said that she didn't believe it, this was the last donation.

Boss Sun didn't think much about it, and he didn't care, but persuaded Tang Mian not to be in a hurry to sell so many stores, your store is priceless, sell it now, and you will have to spend a bigger price to buy it back in the future.

Tang Mian knew that Boss Sun was doing it for her good, he didn't believe what he said, but it didn't matter, she was the one who lived again after all.

How depressing she was in her previous life, only she knew it, and it was thanks to the fact that the Shen family's shop was not big at that time.

However, several major families have been affected a lot.

You know very well that with your current assets, you will definitely be beaten hard by the emperor at that time, and you must reduce your property by half.

"I heard you right, you want to transfer the academy directly to my name!" Zhao Yu reacted quite a lot, and he couldn't understand why it was just a sudden order from the emperor that made Tang Mian react like this.

First of all, he sent so many people to the frontier to reclaim wasteland, and returned the deed of sale to them, promising them to buy houses and land, and 5 times the salary.

Now that he has given him the academy again, is he crazy!

"Zhao Yu, listen to me, you are now someone I can trust. The college is now on track and doesn't need any more money from us. As long as you manage it well, you can benefit more poor children, if you continue to hang in my name, if I have an accident one day, even the academy will be served in a pot at that time, so it is the most suitable to transfer it to you! ”

Tang Mian analyzed all the pros and cons to him.

Zhao Yu still couldn't accept it.

After all, the land price of this academy alone is more than twenty-five taels of silver.

Although he is the nominal dean, Tang Mian is also his nominal creditor.

He still owes her so much money and hasn't paid it back, how can he accept this academy!

"If you refuse to help with this, then you can return the 1 million silver to me now, I haven't said anything." Tang Mian used a trick that directly made Zhao Yu's eyes widen.

She knew that she had invested the 1 million silver elsewhere, and now she asked for it.

Not to mention 1 million taels of silver, he can't take out even a tael of silver.

"Mian, you give me such a big academy, but have you ever thought that if the imperial court really wants to deal with me, it will be the end of the academy if you directly press the name of the academy for me. It's better for you to choose a few more people, and then transfer the academy to a few of us, which can not only serve the purpose of restraining each other, but also not easy to let the academy have an accident. The method proposed by Zhao Yu Mobile gave Tang Mian a blow to the head.

I didn't plan to waste time, I went directly to Nian Tian Xu and Yin Ze, briefly explained this matter to them, and it took some words to get them to agree.

After dealing with the affairs of the academy, Tian Bo came with news that most of the houses had been sold, and the silver was successively delivered to the shrimp through the Zhongyi Hall.

On this day, Bai Yunniang came to visit Tang Mian with Xiaobao in her arms.

Tang Mian saw that she had something to say and kept holding back, so she pretended not to see it, and in the end, Bai Yunniang really couldn't hold it back.

"Mian, have you been short of silver lately? I still have more than 200,000 taels of silver here, you see, if it's not enough, we'll find a way. ”

"Mother! How can you have so much silver in your hands? Didn't you move the household I gave you, so what did you let your brother eat? What to wear! ”

Tang Mian grasped the wrong point and asked some inconsequential things.

Bai Yunniang thought that she was deliberately diverting the topic, took the initiative to interrupt her, and asked again that she was short of money recently.

Tang Mian didn't plan to let her mother know about the bad things in the imperial court.

It's just that after the crown prince ascended the throne, the issuance of some new policies was not conducive to continuing to do business.

They have too many people, and if they continue to drag on like this, sooner or later they will go out of business.

So she planned to send these people to the frontier to help clear the wasteland.

Bai Yunniang could hear that Tang Mian was a little helpless.

Also, she came to help cook a few meals when she was okay before.

There are more than 300 people, and they can eat 20 taels of silver just for food.

Thanks to the silver, how could so many people be able to feed themselves?

Now it is a good way to send them over there to clear the wasteland, not to mention their personal freedom, and to buy them a house and settle down.

In order to support his daughter, Bai Yunniang handed over the 200,000 silver he had saved to Tang Mian before leaving.

Tang Mian looked down at the thick stack of silver tickets, and couldn't tell what it felt in his heart.

Approaching the middle of the night, Mian finally counted all the assets in his name.

After that number, my head hurt again.

What did she think in the first place?

Bought so many warehouses, granaries, and fertile land.

Recently, there are so many fewer people in the store, and no one makes dried sweet potatoes and fruit dan peels, so she can sell all these warehouses and everything.

She was glad that she stopped in time after receiving Ruan Gongzi's big order last time, otherwise even if she sold all her value, it is estimated that the liquidated damages will not be enough to compensate.

After all, warehouses and granaries are not as easy to sell as yard shops.
