Chapter 67: Agriculture-based (3)
Zhuang Shaoyou and Zhou Tian were both happy to finalize the matter of buying land, and then Zhuang Shaoyou went to Guoyuan.
As a result, when he arrived at Guoyuan, he happened to meet Luo Yu of Beifeng County, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, but Guo Yuan said that Luo Yu had agreed to Zhuang Shaoyou's conditions.
Zhuang Shaoyou also told Guoyuan about the sale of the land to Zhou Tian, Guoyuan was also helpless, although it was a little out of accordance with the regulations, but after all, it was the first big business, and with 20,000 taels of silver, he could do a lot of things!
And with this start, the county finance will be able to get a lot of money just by selling land in the future, and it can support it for a long time!
So, Guoyuan nagged Zhuang Shaoyou a few more words and then went to do it.
The next day, the whole county was in a sensation, and it was even more disturbing than when the decree was promulgated, and only some refugees from other towns who could not eat went to rent their fields when the decree was promulgated, and only some refugees from other towns who could not eat went to rent their fields, but very few of the local residents of the county went to buy land, and the landlords did not move.
However, yesterday it was suddenly reported in the county that the chief landlord had purchased 1,000 hectares of Ueda on Sunday, which was the largest business in the history of the county.
The landlords couldn't sit still, the wind vane was moving, and the movement was not small, so they elected several representatives, such as Liang Tian and Chen Gu, to Zhou Tianfu to confirm the matter
Zhou Tian told them that not only did they buy 1,000 hectares of land, but they also lent half of the ploughing cattle to the county.
After receiving a clear answer from Zhou Tian, the county was completely sensational, not only the landlords, but also many ordinary people could not sit still.
The landlords began to sell their property one after another, and for a time prices in the county fluctuated greatly, but of course, grain prices have been very stable.
On the sixth day of the first month of February, he bought land, and by the tenth day of the first month of February, he sold nearly 2,000 hectares of land, of which Liang Tian bought 600 hectares and Chen Gu bought 400 hectares.
Some other small landlords and ordinary people bought about 1,000 hectares.
The new silver was 30,000 taels, and the silver taels of the entire county were basically collected, and the rest of the money was leasing.
The way of leasing seems to be to pay half of the harvest every year, but it is also much better than before, in the past, when Zhou Wen was there, he took out six or seven percent of the farmers' harvest, and the land was still his own!
Now as long as you pay 50% of the harvest and cultivate for five years, you can get this land, and then you will be exempted from taxes for three years, how cost-effective! At least you don't have to worry about not being able to eat! Maybe you can tear some cloth for your wife and children to make a new set of clothes.
Zhuang Shaoyou, Guoyuan, Luo Yu, and Wu Liang sat in the county government administrative hall, staring at each other with big eyes.
Looking at the 50,000 taels of silver, I was excited, oh my God! Get rich! I've never seen so much money!
Zhuang Shaoyou was the first to wake up from the excitement, and it only took one sentence to wake everyone up from their dreams:
"Hopefully we'll be worth the money!"
As soon as the three of them heard this, they immediately fell silent, yes! Goguryeo and Liaodong County are like two mountains pressing on the heads of Yudi County, so that everyone can never sleep soundly.
Zhuang Shaoyou glanced at everyone's expressions, and was quite satisfied, at least everyone here was a conscientious person, if he changed Zhou Wen's kind of goods, he would definitely be thinking about absconding with the money!
In fact, Zhuang Shaoyou also had this idea in his mind, and firmly believed that at least Qinling and the cavalry battalion would follow him with all their hearts.
But can it be done? No! Absolutely not! Zhuang Shaoyou would rather die again than do such a thing!
The cavalry battalion followed him because he established a new ideal and hope for the cavalry battalion, and the cavalry battalion firmly believed that following Zhuang Shaoyou could realize this ideal and build a truly ideal homeland;
The Mo family followed him because of the hope they saw in him, although it was learned by the giant Mo Hai through divination, it was also a responsibility, and he had spared no effort to help him do a lot of things, and the Mo family paid more than he received;
Guo Yuan, Wu Liang, Luo Yu and Li Le followed him because they believed in him as a person and thought that he was a person who did things for the people.
Besides, there are also the missing Zhang Ning and Mo Mei, if they do this kind of thing, what will they think of themselves?
The most important thing is that Zhuang Shaoyou can't pass this level of conscience.
To some extent, these 50,000 taels can be collected by the empty glove white wolf, but this is also a huge responsibility on Zhuang Shaoyou's shoulders, the people trust themselves, so they make such a choice, they can't live up to their trust no matter what, even if they die in battle, they can't!
Well, since you can't run away, let's think about what to do with this money, and how to increase your strength as quickly as possible is the most important thing.
Now that we have just entered the middle of February, the weather is getting better and better, and the possibility of snow has disappeared, just waiting for the first spring rains.
The four of them studied what they had to do next, and finally decided that Luo Yu would sit in the county government and handle daily government affairs;
Wu Liang went all out to prepare for the establishment of an intelligence organization, and now he is not short of money, so he naturally shared a large amount of activity funds, Guoyuan objected to this, but Zhuang Shaoyou rarely came to be arbitrary,
As a modern person, I really know too much about the importance of intelligence, and the importance of this issue has been repeatedly reiterated in various movies and television, various books on the art of war, and history books.
The most typical is: know yourself and know your opponent in a hundred battles!
Therefore, Zhuang Shaoyou had already allocated 5,000 taels of silver to Wu Liang as the preliminary funds for the intelligence organization, as long as he could use 3,000 taels of silver to get the information of Liaodong County and Goguryeo, it would be considered a waste of money!
Guo Yuan looked at the complacent Wu Liang very depressedly, but what happened next made him smile too.
Zhuang Shaoyou directly allocated 10,000 taels of silver to Guoyuan, and let him be fully responsible for the spring plowing work, including the reclamation of new fields, the organization of cattle cultivation to practice the new farming methods of the Mo family, and the tuning of 1,500 soldiers.
Another 5,000 taels were allocated to Luo Yu, and he asked him to deal with the civil affairs work in the county, including coordinating Wanzi Town's participation in spring ploughing, Luo Yu is the old leader of Beifeng County, and has an excellent reputation among the people, so let him do the work of Wanzi Town will definitely go well.
The land along the Wanzi River is also fertile, and there are more than 1,000 people in the extreme surrounding area of Wanzi Town, which is not far from the Xintian Development Zone in the northeast region.
Moreover, there are some businessmen there, and the business is relatively developed, so it is also a good thing if it can attract foreign capital to invest and develop.
After the discussion, the three of them each took someone to get the money and went to do the errand.
Zhuang Shaoyou sat in the county office and looked at the remaining 30,000 taels of silver, and felt a pain in his flesh, which was spent too fast! It's like a fight!
It's still not good, this money will last for a few more months at most, and you have to hurry up and find a way to make money!
Zhuang Shaoyou was ruthless, and directly allocated another 10,000 taels of silver to Moshi, asking him to seize the time to rebuild the shipyard in order to produce warships as soon as possible, and at the same time transform the three three-masted sailing ships into warships more suitable for inland river operations.
At this time, the relocation of the Mojia family was nearing completion, and most of the residents of Mojia Island had already begun to devote themselves to the spring ploughing work.
Three days later, Moshi came.
Zhuang Shaoyou was not surprised when he saw Moshi coming, and asked casually: "Brother Mo, don't come to harm!" I don't know what Brother Mo is doing here? ”
Mo Shi smiled slightly: "Brother Zhuang is really leisurely!" The whole county is busy, only Brother Zhuang still has this leisure and elegance to practice swords in the house, I see that I am so envious! I'm here today for a reason, and it's a great thing! ”
"Oh? What's the good news? Could it be that Brother Mo is getting married? What a joy! ”
Mo Shi smiled: "Brother Zhuang still dares to make fun of me?" I've seen you call me brother-in-law for a few days! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou was embarrassed for a while, and could only laugh a few times, but did not pick up.
"Brother Zhuang, two things, three days later, the master is going to move here, and in addition, my Mo family has discovered iron ore in the Great Black Mountain!"
Zhuang Shaoyou was a little stunned when he heard this, giant? Iron ore?
It's a great event!
Mo Shi looked at Zhuang Shaoyou, and then said: "In a few days, the master will come here, and I hope that Brother Zhuang can come to cheer, in addition, that iron ore was discovered by my third junior brother Mo Tie."
My Mojia mastery is divided into six parts: love, non-attack, farming, art of war, forging, and swordsmanship, and after moving to Mojia Island four hundred years ago, it began to develop the way of navigation and shipbuilding based on non-offensive techniques, so it is now seven unique schools.
Seven of my brothers, in addition to me, each has its own strengths, my senior brother has no long things, the second brother Mo Tu, specializing in the way of farming, quite a study, this Mo family spring ploughing by him to preside;
The third junior brother, Mo Tie, specializes in the way of mineral forging, and the important weapons of the Mo family are basically built by him;
The fourth junior brother is ink, specializing in the way of navigation, the shipyard is under his control, and he is also responsible for the art of deep-sea fishing;
The fifth junior brother Mo Yu specializes in the art of war and is determined to revitalize the Mo family;
The sixth junior brother Mo Qiao, specializing in non-attacking techniques, is also the core of my Mo family's peerless learning, the sixth junior brother is the most talented among the seven of my senior brothers, everything is a matter of learning, so the master asked him to specialize in the most important peerless mechanism of the Mo family;
Seventh Senior Sister Mo Mei, you are already very familiar, specializing in miscellaneous studies, knitting women, food and cooking, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is the first talented girl on our Mojia Island, Brother Zhuang married the seventh senior sister is a blessing in the previous life!
By the way, there is one more thing to tell Brother Zhuang, my fifth junior brother Mo Yu did something bad last time, so he was locked up in the back mountain by the master and thought about it, after this relocation, I hope that Brother Zhuang can not blame the past and let him go free, what does Brother Zhuang think? ”
Zhuang Shaoyou heard Mo Shi introduce the specialties of the seven brothers of the Mo family, and his heart was greedy for a while, they are all talents! And it's top-notch!
Although you can't help yourself go to the battlefield to fight, it's definitely a weapon of the country! It's so sharp! It's really a treasure, and it's really a big pie in the sky that fell on my head
If it weren't for the catastrophe of the Mo family, how could he be cheaper than this hairy boy?
As for that Mo Yu, forget it, it is estimated that he is also for the sake of Mo Mei, who was a childhood sweetheart since he was a child, and was suddenly snatched away by a knife, and his mood is understandable.
He learned the art of war, and maybe he is a good general who can fight well!
When he arrived here first, Zhuang Shaoyou nodded and agreed to Moshi's plea, and Moshi was overjoyed and immediately saluted and thanked him.
The two discussed some iron ore mining matters, which can be used to forge new farm tools, and took over the urgent need, as for the production of weapons, the coming day is long, and the current weapons are still a little surplus, not in a hurry, the current food is the biggest problem.
