Chapter 134: The prince can't shake off this pot?
Liu Ju is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart.
The situation he encountered today is not necessarily the pit that Liu Ponu specially dug for himself.
I can only say that I was unlucky, and I just happened to be here.
No matter who comes next, they will have to face the same problems as themselves, and the solution is very simple, as long as they sell the new plough at the price specified by Liu Ponu.
The profit of the new plough is more than enough to cover all the previous vacancy holes.
Of course, Liu Ju understood this truth, but when he thought that a new plough would have a profit of 150 yuan, Liu Ju felt all kinds of bad in his heart.
It's not what he wants, and it's not what he's after.
Although in terms of input and output, this price is acceptable to the people, and Liu Po has designed a model of installment payment for them, and the cost is even lower if it is shared every year.
When the time comes, as long as someone takes the lead in a fool, the people will easily form a follow-up.
Although a family buys a new plough and fits it into a water system, it only takes two years to increase the production of grain to pay off the bill.
But this is not the goal pursued by Liu Ju, what he hopes is that the people have land to grow and food to eat, and do not have to go into debt to operate.
How many families have been separated because of debt?
Liu has seen thousands of these eucalyptus cases, which one of his wives has not lived an extremely miserable life after being separated?
"No, I won't allow that to happen!" A determined expression appeared on Liu Ju's face, and his hands were clenched into fists.
That kind of violence, blood-sucking behavior, whoever likes to do it, I don't do it anyway.
"The new plough can be used by the people, but the burden is absolutely not good......"
"Your Highness, how to solve the problem?" Liu Qu didn't expect Liu Ju to be so iron-headed, and he was unmoved in the face of a huge debt of more than 500,000 yuan.
Although he couldn't understand Liu Ju's thoughts, he also expressed his appreciation for this behavior.
Of course, it belongs to the kind that is not too big to watch the excitement.
Anyway, it won't be long before he steps down and returns to Liu Ponu, and what the prince does next has nothing to do with him.
"Follow the previous method, send half first, and wait until next autumn harvest to make up for it!" Liu Ji thought about it carefully and thought that he could only do it first.
Although this is not in line with his character, what can he do if he has no money in his hands?
Even if Liu wanted to learn from Liu Ponu and advance money into it first, he didn't have so much money to advance.
As for saying that half of the officials disagreed, Liu felt that it should not be a big problem.
Liu Ponu told them in the capacity of the county magistrate that they all agreed to this matter, and as the crown prince, they used the same method as them, and they had no reason not to agree!
As soon as he said it, Liu Yi immediately picked up the pen and wrote down three letterheads, which were handed over to three different people.
One of them was sent to the Empress of Changle Palace, relying on Liu Ju's savings alone could not solve the problem here, even if he only paid half of it, Liu Ju couldn't last long, so he could only ask his mother for help.
The other was sent to the Prince's Mansion, asking the family to immediately sell their property and raise money and grain to send to Lantian County.
The last one was sent to the mines......
……
Early in the morning, in an independent courtyard, on a few eucalyptus logs, there were half a bowl of meat, a bowl of porridge, and half a pot of wine.
Compared to a few months ago, the life of the little mule is now more than ten times better.
Although I was very tired, I could eat enough every day, and I could have a meal of meat every once in a while.
Now not only the stomach problem has been solved, but even the mental problem has been solved, in the mining area, the little mule is the heaven here, and no one dares to resist his words.
Although he is no longer in the army, the little mule has finally experienced the joy of commanding 10,000 people.
Of course, cool is cool, and there are still rules.
Following Liu Ponu to do things, Liu Ponu naturally did not treat the little mule badly, and the delicacies on the table, only the bowl of porridge was brought for nothing, which was also the basic meal in the mine.
Meat and wine were bought by the little mules at their own expense.
After all, now that the monthly income is 100 yuan, it is also a proper high-income group in Dahan, and a small mule with this spending power can still afford it.
Besides, the shrewd little mule doesn't understand this account, even if he adds food a month, how much does it cost to eat and drink?
My income is that I can't spend all my energy, so I can use it to take advantage of that?
And not only do you not have to take advantage of it, but the little mules also make people ask for a good family affair for themselves.
Don't have too low status, except for those who are too good-looking......
"Chief, this is a greeting post sent by the prince......"
"Read!" The little mule was just about to start when the attendant outside the door walked in with a letterhead.
"That...... Principal, I can't read......" The attendant looked at the letterhead in his hand with a confused face, he didn't even know where to start reading it, and asked him to read the content?
The little mule scratched her head in embarrassment, the illiterate people of the special mother are all illiterate, how can this work?
"Go find a literate prisoner in the mine, behave well, be clever, and transfer him to follow me!" The little mule thought about it, and still felt that it was more reliable to find a free labor, after all, we also have this condition.
Although the quality of the work of the prisoners in this mine is not good, the proportion of literate people is still not low, and the little mule is in charge of the entire mining area, although Wang Liu has done most of the things, but he still can't avoid dealing with words.
"Master Luo!"
There was another call outside the door, and when the little mule looked up, he instantly laughed on his face, and someone brought a pillow when he was really sleepy.
"Lao Wang, come and help me see what is written on this letterhead?" The little mule hurriedly beckoned Wang Liu to sit down.
"The officials who match you in the mine are not allowed to follow, let you learn to read and write, you think it is too difficult......" Wang Liu took the bamboo slip angrily and shook his head.
"You know what, the officials in the mine can only be used when they are working, so what do they look like when they follow me at any time? I asked someone to go to the mine and pull a prisoner as a follower, so I don't have to worry about this in the future, so read to me what this prince said? The little mule urged disapprovingly.
"The prince said that he was transferred to Lantian County, and he was going to visit you in the afternoon, and by the way, he would visit the mining area and ask if you were free!" Wang Liu looked at the contents of the letterhead with a helpless face, and secretly said that this emperor is really good at playing.
Liu Ponu finally made some achievements, the flowers were all blooming, and they were about to bear fruit, but the emperor sent the crown prince to pick the fruit.
Although Wang Liu can be regarded as having received the favor of the emperor to get to where he is today, after knowing that Liu Ponu was transferred away and no new official position was arranged, Wang Liu still complained about Liu Ponu in his heart.
And now that he knew that the prince was coming, Wang Liu was even more unhappy in his heart.
"Ouch, this prince is too martial arts, right? Is this to be notified in advance? The little mule was stunned for a moment, looked at the food on a few eucalyptus, and swallowed silently.
Then he waved his hand at his entourage, and said with an unhappy face: "Take it away, take it all!" In addition, I ordered everyone in the mine to eat only one-third of what it used to be, and no one was allowed to eat more, and when asked, they said that this situation had been going on for nearly a month, and if anyone dared to say that he had leaked his mouth, I would let him do the heaviest work, and he would not be given anything to eat, and he would not be allowed to sleep! ”
"Master Luo, this is ???" Wang Liu looked at the little mule with a confused expression, a little confused.
"The prince is a weasel and a chicken New Year's greetings, there is no good intention, you think about it, the prince is a ruthless man who dares to quarrel with the emperor for a few days and nights for the sake of the people, before Brother Nu built so many waterwheels when he was the county commander, it is estimated that the county treasury has long been empty, the prince has just taken office, I think nine times out of ten he is coming to us to borrow money and grain." The little mule pretended to be very cultured, and analyzed the whole thing at the head of the way.
Even Wang Liu nodded when he heard it, but he didn't know that he received a notice from Liu Ponu last night, so the little mule also took this opportunity to pretend to be forced quietly.
"I heard Brother Nu say that the emperor asked him to build twelve more mining areas of this scale within a year, and our mining area is still brought by Brother Nu to pull down his face and use all the means, even then it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, where do you say Brother Nu is going to build so many mining areas with so much money now?"
"And I also heard that the emperor said that we can't sell new plows to Lantian anymore, all new plows sold to the people of Lantian must go through the hands of the prince, and the price we give to the prince can only be 50 yuan a piece, don't you think it's a clear bully?"
"What kind of bullying is this?" Wang Liu was taken aback, and said in amazement: "If you want me to say that this is murder, why should we do all the dirty work, and let the prince take away all the benefits in the end?" ”
"Lao Wang, don't get involved in this matter for the time being, I'll deal with it on the prince's side, and after I go back, I will explain to my brothers, while there is still time now, if there is anything I don't understand in the mine, hurry up and learn, Brother Nu is breathing with me, saying that he plans to let you go to charge a mining area next year, but don't be useless at a critical time, dragging Brother Nu'er's hind legs!" The little mule had a leadership posture to appease Wang Liu.
Although the little mule is his superior, it is only limited to the mining area, and out of the mining area, Wang Liu's identity is much higher than that of the little mule.
The little mule is also the chief director of the Lantian mining area, although Wang Liu and they are only the main officer, they all have official ranks, and this alone can crush the little mule.
If it weren't for Liu Ponu's relationship, the little mule would have to bow their heads and say hello when they saw Wang Liu?
"Master Luo, you can rest assured, the matter of meeting with the prince will be handed over to you, and the rest of the things will be left to me, if you want me to say, you don't have to eat today, when the prince comes and sees this bear on the mine, you will be selling miserably, maybe you can pit something from the prince......" When he heard the news that Luo Bing said that they would be in charge of a mining area alone next year, Wang Liu's heart instantly became excited.
"Wouldn't that be a bit too unmartial arts?" The little mule frowned, this suggestion either can't be done, or ......
Wang Liu waved his hand, and said with disdain: "If you want to say that you don't talk about martial arts, then the prince doesn't talk about martial arts first, the young master is doing a good job here, why do you say that you will rob it?" He's the crown prince, he can still do this kind of thing, he's not ashamed, I'm ashamed for him......"
