Chapter Seventy-Two: Conscience is gone, you can earn more!
"In half an hour, we can land on the island!"
Liu Mo turned his head from the mast railing and said very happily: "Boatman, I am very satisfied with your ship, and I will give you an extra silver tael to express my gratitude." ”
"It's better to be respectful than to obey!" The boatman half-bowed and thanked, "Master, you are so generous. What a blessing to be honored to serve an adult like you! ”
This boatman has a strong local accent, and it is said that he has been begging for life on the Xiangshan Sea for decades, but it is the first time he has encountered a boatman like Liu Mo.
I didn't come to play, I didn't come to fish, and I didn't want to be a poor person who came here to survive, so I asked: "What do you dare to do here?" I remember that last time, you had already been to Gulan Island! ”
"Come to the Lord!" Liu Mo quipped.
"The landlord? You're the one who bought the land last time! The boatman was surprised, "This master, if you are not an old man pouring cold water, you can't do this business!" ”
"I, Liu Mo, never do things that I am not sure of."
The boatman snorted coldly and stopped answering!
About half an hour later, Liu Mo led Zhao Da to land on the island again.
If you want to buy land in bulk, you naturally have to find someone in charge of the island.
Before coming here, Liu Mo had already inquired that the real person in charge of Gulan Island was surnamed Sun, and his single name was Cheng. Not the natives of Gulan Island, but the people whose parents moved here.
During this visit to the island, Liu Mo did not move out of his hand as soon as he came up, but asked to see him in the name of doing business
Sun Cheng.
Why?
Isn't this nonsense, if you directly show the approval document, people will definitely suspect that you are abusing your power for personal gain. Not to mention whether the land is harvested or not, it has also left an extremely bad notoriety.
With the unique wine of Linyang City and the grilled sausages that have been preservatived, they don't say anything when they meet, and invite Sun Cheng to have a meal first.
Like Donglai Island, there are no restaurants and restaurants on Gulan Island, so several people heated the wine and food at Sun Cheng's house and ate it.
It is said that Sun Cheng's father was a pig slaughterer, and he laughed like a butcher who cut meat.
"More?" Liu Mo asked him.
"I don't object," Sun Cheng said, handing out the wine glass, his face slightly drunk, "Of course I don't object." This is really the best of the wine, Xiangshan's? ”
"Linyang City," Liu Mo made a gesture, and Zhao Da moved forward to pour wine. In the small hall of Sun Cheng's house, there were only three of them. "Sweet, fragrant, rare!"
After hearing this, Sun Cheng poured a big sip again, this person never drinks in small sips, full of alcoholics, Liu Mo noticed it as soon as they met.
"Yes, glycol! I don't know what to describe for a while, Liu Gongzi, you are really knowledgeable, you must have a fame, right? ”
"I'm glad you thought so... But I didn't get any fame. Liu Mo said.
"Hehe, thank you Liu Gongzi for the wine." Sun Cheng was taking a drink, "Getting back to business, what business do you want to do here?" ”
"Buy land!" Liu Mo announced.
"Ahh Sun Cheng squirted out in one gulp, and the wine spilled on his chest. "You're the last merchant you visited?"
"Exactly!"
Last time, Sun Cheng was not on the island, and it was another islander who received Liu Mo.
"Liu Gongzi, I'm afraid you're going to run for nothing again." Sun Chengdao. "Land, we don't sell it!"
"Can't you negotiate?"
"It's not negotiable!"
"Mr. Sun, don't sell your own land, don't force it." Liu Mo said, "But the other residents of the island..."
Sun Cheng directly interrupted Liu Mo: "No one will sell land, Liu Gongzi, you should dispel this idea as soon as possible!" ”
Without giving Liu Mo time to speak, he poured himself a full glass of wine and drank it all, "If there is nothing else, Liu Gongzi, please go back!" ”
Good guy, so turn your face and don't recognize people!
"This is an eviction order?" Sun Cheng's actions caused Zhao Da to be dissatisfied, "If the deal fails, we can be friends, why are we so rude!" ”
"Sun is a rough man, he won't beat around the bush, don't be weird!"
"Haha, it's really a happy person!" Liu Mo laughed, "Speaking of this, I will also say it bluntly, since I have landed on Gulan Island for the second time, I, Liu, will definitely not let myself go home empty-handed." ”
"What, you still want to force it to buy?" Sun Cheng thought to himself.
In his surprised gaze, Liu Mo continued to add: "It's not a secret, in Xia Xiangshan, I did an errand for Lord Huang of Jianglin Mansion. ”
As he spoke, he leaned into Sun Cheng's ear and whispered three key words: "Sea Ban Order"!
Sun Cheng glanced at Liu Mo vigilantly, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Liu Mo glanced at Ambassador Zhao, and the other party hurriedly cooperated with the performance, he walked outside the door, pretended to look around, and after confirming that "no one", he closed the door.
"A few years ago, because of the war, Jianglin Mansion implemented a 'sea ban'. And now that the 'sea ban' has not been lifted, do you know why? ”
Sun Cheng frowned and shook his head subconsciously.
"Because the enemy country has always been ready to move, and there are great signs of provoking war! For this reason, the sea ban has not been lifted. Liu Mo said softly.
"So we're going to keep the sea closed until we're all starving to death?"
"Definitely! Lord Huang, the prefect of Jianglin, loves the people like a son, so he naturally will not let it go, but this enemy country must not be guarded against! Liu Mo smiled, "So, a few days ago, I have written to Master Huang to discuss this matter.
What Huang meant was that the 'sea ban' on some islands would be lifted so that they could fund others. ”
"Which islands will be lifted?"
Liu Mo smiled coldly, took out the "lifting of the ban", and told him at the same time, "This matter must not be told to a third party, otherwise..."
When Sun Cheng heard this, his face became very ugly.
Don't look at me with this kind of look, I, Liu Mo, am originally a businessman, don't you understand whether you are a traitor or a businessman?
After thinking for a long time, Sun Cheng spoke: "Liu Gongzi, how much land do you need!" ”
Another big fish! Liu Mo laughed out loud, now he only needs to let Sun Cheng understand a truth.
"Who can I choose to lift the ban, and I can let him continue to ban the sea!"
How much land? The more the merrier.
How much silver? It's very simple, send a hundred and eighty acres over to make us happy first.
Workforce? The requirements are not high, and a few hundred people will work for us for free for three years.
Unwilling to cooperate? Then continue to enjoy the forbidden sea.
Capitalists, sometimes they have to be ruthless.
There is a saying on the earth that if the money is gone, you can earn it again, and if you have no conscience, you can earn more!
Liu Mo: What were those just now? Nonsense, of course,.
However, the other party certainly does not dare to question his understanding of human nature.
First of all, Liu Mo has the approval of the prefect's seal on his hand, which is genuine.
The second, who will be fed and supported, risk starving to death on the whole island, and tear each other apart with the "official errand"!
The most important point is that you can't get any benefit from tearing up with Liu Mo!
Although there was resentment in his heart, Sun Cheng gritted his teeth and agreed.
In order not to lose his notoriety, Liu Mo fooled Sun Cheng to do everything.
What method you use is your business, in short, my conditions are the same.
After speaking, Liu Mo took Zhao Da and left, leaving Sun Cheng with a bitter face messy in the sea breeze.
After three or four days, Sun Cheng brought news that the matter had been done!
As for how he did it, Liu Mo had no interest in knowing.
Follow suit!
With the first "sea salt processing plant", then the second, the third... The tenth.
In the end, Liu Moquan prostituted more than a dozen "official salt processing factories" for nothing, plus the islanders who worked for free in the dark!
And just like that, good things keep happening.
It wasn't long before the "Dongraido New Salt Processing Plant" produced the first batch of fine salt.
For the sake of safety, Liu Mo immediately stir-fried vegetables with new salt, and the islanders who were lucky enough to try it were all surprised.
So far, the development of new salt has been completed perfectly!
Time waits for no one, and after everything is arranged, Liu Mo took Zhao Da and returned to Linyang.
