Chapter 0111: The Villain Makes a Fool of Trouble
God's mood is unpredictable, and after a thunderstorm, the sky clears up with the naked eye.
"It's good that it's not raining heavily." Seeing that the sky was clear, Deng Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
On the eve of the change of spring and summer, the weather is the most repetitive, and the fluctuation of hot and cold temperatures is the most likely to cause influenza. Zhu Chengjun sighed and said worriedly: "If such a thunderstorm comes every once in a while, the situation will only get worse and worse." ”
Deng Yue and the others are in the same mood as Zhu Chengjun at the moment.
Shi Qian hesitated for a long time and proposed: "There are still many abandoned ownerless houses in the city, and I think it should be able to accommodate a lot of people, why don't Brother Zhu let some refugees move into the city." ”
"No! You can't make any difference. Zhu Chengjun vetoed Shi Qian's proposal.
Deng Yue agreed with Zhu Chengjun's handling method and echoed: "We are so difficult to level a bowl of water now, if we treat the refugees differently, it will definitely cause riots." ”
"It's a lack of thought." Shi Qian sighed deeply: "Now I can only hope for Brother Shen." ”
The water vapor in the west, the sun in the east, and a rainbow of light across the sky.
Looking at the rainbow in the sky, Zhu Chengjun turned around and walked into the back office, and took the time to check the real-time situation of the compilation of the textbooks required for the ten-year school system. With the full efforts of Deng Yue and others, the first draft of the textbook has been compiled, and after proofreading, it can enter the printing stage. According to this progress, the new set of teaching materials will be used in the school after the busy farming.
Just when Zhu Chengjun was busy reviewing the textbooks, in the teahouse of the county inn, Cheng Jian and Yu Liang looked at the refreshments on the table, frowning, and looked excited.
Yu Liang glanced at Cheng Jian and asked, "Is there no chaos in the Xishan refugee resettlement site?" ”
Cheng Jian shook his head and replied: "That group of untouchables can tolerate eating chaff and vegetables, I don't think they can mess up for the time being." ”
It is unbelievable that the refugees can accept the conditions of hay and food.
"The weather is changeable, and now that there are so many flu outbreaks this season, so many refugees are huddled together, and it rained again last night, so no one gets sick?" Yu Liang's expression looked a little disappointed.
"Brother Yu, don't worry, you and I just need to wait and see." Seeing that Yu Liang couldn't wait for those refugees to make trouble, Cheng Jian continued: "I heard that there are still refugees coming in a steady stream, so many refugees are exposed to the sun and rain for a long time, eating animal food, and there is always a time for chaos. Cheng Jian saw that Yu Liang's determination to secretly make the stalk undiminished, and he glanced at the door of the private room vigilantly, and then lowered his voice and said the plan in his heart: "Refugees are cheap, can Brother Yu be willing to buy a batch of cheap labor?" ”
"I don't have so many places to employ people...... Yu Liang stroked his head, and suddenly realized: "Brother Cheng plans to let Yaxing take the opportunity to buy refugees in large quantities?" Cannot...... People have to take care of the food when they buy it, so isn't it doing the surnamed Zhu a big favor. ”
A trace of disdain flashed in Cheng Jian's eyes, thinking that this person was simply stupid, and said: "Refugees are also people, no one is willing to live by eating bran all the time, at this time, if someone is to give them a good meal to eat, guess what." ”
Throwing a bone into a hungry dog pen is bound to cause a group of dogs to grab it.
"High! Brother Cheng is a good plan! Yu Liang stroked his hand and praised, but he was happy for a moment, Yu Liang sat down and waved his hand again and again: "This is too blatant, this is a deliberate attempt to incite refugees to mutiny, and the heart of the surname Zhu will definitely not let us go." ”
Cheng Jian saw that Yu Liang, a fool, still couldn't understand the deep meaning of his words, and explained: "You and I don't need to be kind enough to take action in this matter, the man surnamed Zhu has dug up so many craftsmen from the workshop owner's family, can they make the workshop shut down?" You and I are just using their mouths to convey a message that disturbs the minds of the refugees, and once this seed is planted, it will be enough for the person surnamed Zhu to work for a while. ”
The building materials required for the urban construction project are authorized by the county government to set up a workshop for production, and the building materials produced by the new workshop are used in the project and are not sold to the public. Although the owners of the major workshops can't eat the big fat of the big urban construction project, they won't be unable to survive. The better salary of the new workshop has attracted a large number of craftsmen to jump ship, and now the owners of the workshops are employing people, and now almost the entire county is engaged in urban construction projects, and the "sudden" refugees are just to solve the problem that the owners of the major workshops are unavailable.
"Brother Cheng is resourceful!" After listening to Cheng Jian's story, Yu Liangdeng's eyes lit up, in his opinion, the owners of various workshops gave these refugees a job to share the worries of the county government, and no one could find fault with it. Yu Liang was afraid that those workshop owners would not be willing to act as a microphone, and the message he wanted to convey was likely to be distorted, so Yu Liang decided to send his own people into battle in person: "Brother Cheng, do you want to take the opportunity to recruit a few people......
"Fortunately, it's the time to plant rice, and we need manpower for farming." Cheng Jian smiled evilly.
Yu Liang thought that without further ado, the sooner he started, the better, and he didn't drink any more tea, so he immediately got up and said goodbye.
Seeing Yu Liang walk out of the private room, Cheng Jian casually threw away a piece of broken silver and almost stepped on Yu Liang's heel to go out. Cheng Jian knew that Yu Liang's legs were short and he couldn't walk fast, so in order not to bump into him, Cheng Jian chose to leave through the back door.
Out of the teahouse, Cheng Jian did not go home but went straight to Yaxing.
When he came to Yaxing, Cheng Jian saw that the business of Yaxing was bleak, and Yalang had no mood and motivation to take care of business.
"Yo...... Boss Cheng ......, "It's rare for a distinguished guest to come to the door, and Yalang greeted him with a smile on his face."
"Boss Fan, business is booming." It is definitely not suitable for the door to be prosperous and humanitarian, Cheng Jian still said so, with his shrewdness in the business world, he will definitely not be untargeted. He didn't get a piece of the pie for such a big project as big a city, and Cheng Jian's own recent business was also very bleak, so he must have ulterior motives for wishing people a prosperous business.
"Hey...... Boss Cheng shamed me. With a light sigh, Fan Renshou turned to say with a courteous face: "Boss Cheng personally visited the bank, I don't know what to care for." ”
"Take a walk, Boss Fan won't be unwelcome." Cheng Jian smiled.
"How dare you, Boss Cheng is an old patron below." Fan Renshou led Cheng Jian in and introduced to the slave imprisoned in the fence: "I don't know if Boss Cheng wants to buy a long-term worker or a maid this time, you see that these few are full of your heart." ”
Cheng Jian casually glanced at the young woman who was in rags but had a bumpy figure, shook his head dissatisfied, turned around and walked out.
Seeing that the big customer was not satisfied, Fan Renshou hurriedly followed up with the explanation.
"Boss Cheng, I'm really sorry, the goods are really not good recently, give me some time, and I will definitely find you a bed warmer that suits your heart." Fan Renshou knew that Cheng Jian would come to him every once in a while to buy a few young women with good looks and figures to warm the bed.
"Don't worry." Cheng Jian waved his hand, and then asked, "The tooth store hasn't bought any new goods recently?" ”
Fan Renshou shook his head and said bitterly: "I think that a few days ago, the Yuan soldiers occupied this county, and I thought that I could receive a lot of untouchables who voluntarily sold themselves at a low price. Unexpectedly, Lord Zhu stabilized the situation as soon as he made a move, and not only that, but also arranged jobs for the unemployed untouchables in the county. Everyone can get a good salary by working, and who can bear to sell their sons and daughters. ”
"If this account is to be calculated seriously, it is still Lord Zhu who smashed Brother Fan's business."
"Brother Cheng...... Shen Yan ...... "Arrange the parent official in private, even if this parent official is appointed by the Mongolians, Fan Renshou doesn't have the guts, seeing that no outsiders are present, Fan Renshou breathed a sigh of relief, and changed the topic: "Lord Zhu started the big city construction project, Brother Cheng ......" Fan Renshou saw Cheng Jian's face was displeased, and hurriedly stopped.
"Don't mention it." Cheng Jian waved his hand to look sad and destitute, and then said: "I heard that there are many refugees from the West Mountain outside the city, Brother Fan will set his sights on the county seat, so he is not afraid of losing the opportunity to make a fortune?" ”
Fan Renshou sighed bitterly: "I don't know that Zhongli County is in short supply of food, even if I buy people back, I won't be able to get rid of it for a while, and I have to take care of people's food, this is a loss-making business, the gains outweigh the losses, it's better to wait for the food to be abundant before making plans." ”
"If you borrow some food from Brother Fan...... And how. ”
"That's a good idea!" After a short period of excitement, Fan Renshou instantly regained the shrewdness of a businessman, and there is no benefit in this world to be delivered to the door for no reason. At present, if the grain in Zhongli County is not strongly pressed by the government, it will be priceless and marketable if it rises tenfold. Fan Renshou knew that Cheng Jian would definitely make a request, and asked, "How much grain is Brother Cheng willing to lend me, and what kind of borrowing method is it?" ”
"Brother Fan is really a cheerful person." Cheng Jian saw that Fan Renshou was anxious to get the grain, so he said: "I am willing to lend Brother Fan fifty stones of good rice, and you can return me another fifty stones after the summer grain is harvested." ”
Borrow one and repay one, and you don't have to repay the interest, Fan Renshou said that if he is not moved, it is definitely a lie.
"What does Brother Cheng need to do?" Fan Renshou added: "I declare in advance that I will never do the work of eating in prison, and Brother Cheng also knows that I am timid. ”
How small can the courage of the traffickers be, Cheng Jian promised: "Brother Fan can rest assured, he is also a law-abiding and good citizen." What I want Brother Fan to do is also very simple, you just need to ......" Cheng Jian leaned forward and whispered a few words.
"Is it really that simple?" Everyone is a businessman, and Fan Renshou has a hard time believing that Cheng Jian will do unprofitable things.
"If Brother Fan agrees, he will send half of the grain over when he goes back next, and the remaining half will be served in full after the matter is completed." Cheng resolutely decided to cut through the mess quickly and did not give Fan Renshou more room to consider.
"Good! Fan should get down. Cheng Jian was just asking himself to spread a few unruly rumors in the refugee pile, and Fan Renshou thought that those few words were insignificant, and even if the government wanted to pursue them, he would not be imprisoned.
Seeing that the trick succeeded, Cheng Jian resigned and left on the pretext of raising food.
The county government, the back office.
At this time, Xu Xiao hurried over.
"What?" When Zhu Chengjun saw Xu Xiao's frightened expression, he knew that there must be nothing good.
"Brother Xu, but the refugees are in turmoil?" Deng Yue stood up suddenly.
Xu Xiao smoothed out and briefly explained the main situation.
"The people of Yaxing and Qinglou are going to Xishan!" Zhu Chengjun suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Deng Yue, Shi Qian and others rarely saw such a solemn expression on Zhu Chengjun's face. In their view, it is not uncommon for people who cannot survive to be willing to sell themselves into slavery.
"What is Brother Zhu worried about?" Deng Yue also seemed to sense that something was wrong with this matter.
"If the people in Qinglou and Renya are simply doing business, it's nothing." In order to survive, there will always be people who can't stand the test and are willing to fall, refugees who are hovering on the edge of life and death, and a few people who can withstand the test in the face of the temptation thrown by others. This is all personal choice and self-possession, and Zhu Chengjun asked himself that he has no ability to care now.
Zhu Chengjun said with a gloomy face: "If someone takes the opportunity to incite the refugees to make trouble, it will be troublesome." ”
"Looks like we have to guard against it."
"Let's go! The two brothers, please come with me to Xishan. ”
"Okay."
