Chapter 224: No Silver, Can't Give It

Zhu Ruru explained the intention of Tongcheng Zongzhen.

She needed to rent a piece of land to build a pharmaceutical site, a pharmaceutical "factory".

After all, she promised to give Jiang Xing a lot of "goods" every month, although it was just "for show", but the appearance had to be enough.

There should not be too few people to invite, so the area where you need it should be wider. Not so much in her house.

Zhu Ruru asked, if she wanted another piece of land to build a "factory", she had to get permission from the government.

And it is also necessary to pay the government a "lease" fee.

The people in the government, Zhu Ruru is familiar with each other and can make decisions, only Cheng Zongzhen, so she can only come to him.

Cheng Zongzhen listened to Zhu Ruru's intention, and said in a deep voice: "This is not a difficult thing to do, you can tell me how big the place you need, how long you need to rent, and the specific location." ”

"When the time comes, the official will send someone to check the place and measure it for you."

Zhu Ruru's grateful Tongcheng Zongzhen thanked him: "In this way, thank you Zongzhen." ”

Zhu Ruru wrote down the location, size, and lease period that Cheng Zongzhen explained in detail on the paper.

Cheng Zongzhen glanced at it, calculated it slightly, and gave Zhu Ruru the amount of rent he needed.

Zhu Ruru was quite acceptable, and she didn't bargain, so she calmed down with Mr. Cheng directly, and happily gave a part of the deposit.

Next, you only need to wait for Cheng Zongzhen to send someone to measure the place, write the document well, and stamp the official seal. Zhu Ruru will pay the balance when the time comes, add a signature and handprint on the paperwork, and the process will be completed.

She will be able to build a "factory".

The place that Zhu Ruru chose is a vacant land in their village, not far from Zhu Ruru's home, the place is not big or small, there are about 100 square meters.

Because Cheng Zongzhen personally watched, the efficiency of the government was still very high, and the next day Liu Yuan sent the documents with the official seal stamped.

Zhu Ruru gave the final payment, signed it and pressed the handprint, and it was done.

The day after getting the paperwork, Zhu Ruru called dozens of Haikou to come over and set up a "construction team" to help build the house.

When the pirates were building a "medicine factory", Zhu Ruru was not idle, and continued to pay attention to the cultivation of sweet potatoes and potatoes.

The first batch of seedlings has been distributed to all the families who have opened up the wasteland.

Under the guidance of Zhu Ruru, Aunt Ma and Aunt Nian also began to cultivate the second batch of seedlings.

With that all of this on track, it's time to worry about the walls.

Zhu Ruru only hopes that the city wall will be built quickly, preferably before the next time the barbarians come over.

Zhu Ruru had already prepared the funds for the construction of the city wall, but she didn't plan to go all by herself.

The home belongs to everyone, and the construction of the wall benefits all their people. She can take care of most of the expenses, but the others, per household, have to contribute some.

In this way, the villagers will have a sense of participation, and they will be able to work hard to protect the city wall in the future, after all, they have also contributed a piece of silver......

Second, it can also increase the cohesion of everyone.

Because everyone is required to pay the money, this matter has to be won by at least ninety percent of the villages, and it is better that everyone agrees.

Zhu Ruru first discussed the matter with Meng Jianye.

As soon as Meng Jianye heard Zhu Ruru say this, he patted his thigh and agreed: "This is a good thing that benefits everyone, Ruru, you can't make a big head alone, I will get at least one thousand taels, no, two thousand taels!" ”

Meng Jianye insisted on giving two thousand taels of silver, and Zhu Ruru had no choice but to follow him.

"Uncle Meng, you have to worry about this matter a lot next, it's best to get everyone to sign and agree as soon as possible, if you can't get everyone to agree, at least ninety percent of people have to sign and agree."

"Don't worry, this matter is on your Uncle Meng." Meng Jianye patted his chest and said.

In the next two days, Meng Jianye and the heads of several other villages went door-to-door to mobilize the matter, and most of the people agreed.

But the distance is ninety, which is still a little short.

Some of the villagers didn't think much of it at first when they heard that they were going to build a wall around the village, but when they heard that they would have to pay for it, they immediately quit.

"Where can we get so much silver? Each person is 500 wen, and our family of seven people gets a total of 3,500 wen, which is a full three and a half of silver. Where can I get all this silver? ”

"I think that Ruru girl is not bad at all now, and she has more ways to get money than us, it would be good if she was all alone, anyway, the city wall is what she wants to build!"

"In short, I can't get out of my house, and I can't take it out!"

Meng Jianye was angry by the other party's words, "You, how can you talk like that?" Building a wall is good for all of us, and if the girl is already willing to give the most of it, we should also do our part......"

The man snorted coldly, "If you want to come out, I don't have any money anyway." ”

It's easy to say, the other party is just a sentence, there is no silver.

Meng Jianye could only leave first.

"Ruru, I'm sorry, Uncle didn't do this, I originally thought, it won't be so difficult...... As a result, when they heard that they were asking for money, many people could not come up with all kinds of excuses. Meng Jianye was ashamed and depressed.

Zhu Ruru didn't react much, this was actually what she expected.

After all, when it comes to asking for money, for most of them now, a few taels of silver is a lot of money, and it will naturally not be so refreshing.

"Uncle Meng, don't blame yourself, I know you've done your best." Zhu Ruru comforted Meng Jianye.

He said, "Uncle Meng, can you help me gather them?" I would like to say a few words to them. ”

"Of course it's fine." Meng Jianye immediately agreed, and then went to do it.

It didn't take long for all the families in several villages who did not agree to give the money together in a clearing.

Zhu Ruru came over and glanced at all of them.

"Do you know what I'm going to tell you?"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and the last old man said: "Ruru girl, what are you going to talk about building a city wall?" ”

"It's not that we don't want to give out the money, such a large sum of money, our family really can't come up with it!"

Immediately someone else chimed in: "Yes, yes, I wish the girl, we really don't have any money......"

Immediately afterwards, the others also chimed in.

The summary is one sentence: no silver, no giving.

Of course, there are also people who can take it but are unwilling to give it, they are worried that even if the city wall is built, it may not be able to stop those barbarians.

Those barbarians were so fierce and outnumbered that even the walls of the town could be easily breached by them.

Can they just build a wall to stop them?

If you can't stop it, then this money is not given in vain, is it wasted!
