"The same refugees from Zhongzhou, I would like to ask the treasurers, on what basis do we decide, whether to accept or not to accept these refugees?" Liu Qingge sneered.

"Naturally, according to their previous status in Zhongzhou, Shinong Industry and Commerce will take care of the officials first."

A group of businessmen belittle businessmen, this is also a helpless thing, after all, Zhongzhou has always been the system of Shinong industry and commerce, even if it is the shopkeeper of the Liu family, there are still some people who are deep-rooted in their thoughts.

Liu Qingge sneered: "I really can't imagine that Shopkeeper Liu can have such thoughts, in the face of so many Zhongzhou compatriots who have lost their homes, the reception policy he came up with is to divide people into three, six, nine and so on, so it seems that Shopkeeper Liu's family came to the Northern Desert with me?" ”

Shopkeeper Liu said proudly: "All my relatives chose to follow the shopkeeper to the Northern Desert, thanks to the high opinion of the shopkeeper, our family did not suffer from the war. ”

"Very good, very good!" Liu Qingge seemed to say approvingly, and asked the other shopkeepers instead: "Did all your family members, relatives, and friends follow you to the Northern Desert?" ”

"The villain objected to Liu's shopkeeper's remarks, the villain's relatives and friends are still guarding in Zhongzhou at the moment, if they really fled, did the villain abandon his relatives and not save them, but went to save those official people?"

The people who originally agreed with Shopkeeper Liu chose to remain silent because of this sentence.

After all, who doesn't have a few relatives and friends in Zhongzhou, if they are judged by Shi farmers and businessmen who should be more than help, then what is the point of them doing this to help refugees?

Can't even help your own relatives and friends, go and help some strangers?

Apparently they are not that great!

Besides, when those officials come to Zhongzhou, can they really bring them so many benefits?

Obviously impossible!

Zhongzhou is in turmoil, and a large part of them are of no use to them at all, so why should they give up their relatives to save these so-called scholars.

"The turmoil in Zhongzhou is both a crisis and an opportunity, and it is the best opportunity to change the status of all our businessmen in Zhongzhou. For so many years, our businessmen in Zhongzhou have been in a low status, and few people can look down on us. But now that we are a group of businessmen, we have the ability to save the country, may I ask if we do it or not? Liu Qingge asked.

"This Song dynasty is rotten, what do we do to save it, as long as these major lifelines are always in our own hands, who is the emperor is simply indifferent to our Liu family."

Liu Qingge smiled: "Indeed, you also know that in fact, it doesn't matter to us who is the emperor, after all, we have already mastered the lifeblood of Zhongzhou, even if another emperor comes to power, it will be the same for our Liu family." But we are not doing this for the sake of the Song Dynasty, but for this and for our people. ”

"Therefore, in the face of national difficulties, our Liu family must have the courage to take responsibility, and in the face of refugees, we must treat everyone equally, not because he is who he is, and he has worshiped a few official products, so he looks at him differently, which is unfair to other refugees, and even more unfair to ourselves, so I now suggest that in the future, we will accept refugees without discrimination."

"We also provide a good education to all refugees, and do everything we can to provide suitable jobs for all refugees so that they can really put down roots. So in order to settle so many refugees, in order to avoid conflict with the people of the northern desert countries, we will go to find uninhabited islands and new continents! ”

Chu Jiu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "What the young master said is very good and right, but everything the young master said is too idealistic, many times we are helpless against the influx of refugees, and even if my Liu family scatters all the wealth, it is impossible to save the entire Zhongzhou." ”

"Yes, the shopkeeper of the ninth year is right."

"What the shopkeeper said in the ninth year is reasonable."

"Even if our Liu family has more money, we can't save the people of a country!"

"Young master, if we treat refugees like this, after the word spreads, not only will there be refugees coming, I'm afraid we will attract many ordinary people to leave their hometowns and come to the Northern Desert." The ninth day of the first month hit the nail on the head.

Everyone is in a different position, and what they think about is naturally different.

Chu Jiu's idea was just a fixed thinking as a businessman, and the interests of the Liu family were taken into account.

There's nothing right or wrong to speak of, it's just a different position.

Liu Qingge didn't refute but smiled, and the light and breezy look on her face made all the shopkeepers scratch their heads, until everyone thought that Liu Qingge would compromise, she slowly spoke: "Why can't you attract more people?" Only the large number of people is the reason why I support sailing this time. We need a land that truly belongs to us. At present, we don't really have the land that belongs to us, and once we have trouble with the Northern Desert, what should we do with ourselves? ”

I didn't expect this to be the words of a person who is trying to repair the relationship with Beimo, since Liu Qingge chose to transfer the strategy, the relationship between Beimo and Zhongzhou has been greatly eased, so that now the relationship between the Liu family and Beimo can be said to be like a family.

When the moon is full, it is lost, and when the water is full, it overflows.

No one can guarantee what will happen in the future, but at the moment, Beimo does not have a reason to fight with Zhongzhou.

Unless Beimo sees the civil strife in Zhongzhou and wants to take advantage of the fire to rob.

This is not impossible, there have always been people in the Northern Desert who have been dissatisfied with Zhongzhou occupying the most fertile land in the entire Sifang Continent for so many years.

Once the civil strife in Zhongzhou becomes more serious, even with the deterrence of the Leng family's army, once the interests reach the peak, will the people of the Northern Desert really not be ready to move?

Or will General Leng really remain neutral and guard the border all the time?

Although the young master and General Leng have become married, in the final analysis, the Leng family army is not personal, but the army of Zhongzhou.

"Young master, I think your analysis is very correct, but the voyage is too illusory, and the investment is huge, it is very likely to be a failure, if we use this money, go to Nanqi to buy some more land, and share the risk. How does the young master feel? Chu Jiu asked.

Chu Jiu said that it is not unreasonable, taking such a large sum of money to buy land, these are ready-made, it is better than sailing to find the so-called New World.

After all, for the same money, which will see the benefits at that time, this is obvious.

But Liu Qingge remembered that the New World was indeed discovered back then, in the northwest of the Northern Desert, and no one in Zhongzhou chose to develop it at that time.

So is it feasible to change it to yourself now?

After thinking about it, Liu Qingge began to insist: "I still insist on my opinion, I want to sponsor sailing." ”
