"As someone who plans to commit suicide, it is natural for me to have this awareness. To be honest, I, Lu Tiansheng, am a Liao citizen just like me. My whole family died at the hands of Nurhaci. Every move I make is a person who can achieve great things!

As long as I can eliminate the Jian slaves, it doesn’t matter what I, Lu Tiansheng, am like!"

Lu Tiansheng's words suddenly changed into a Liaodong accent, which finally made Liu Baiyu understand why Lu Tiansheng even used this method to recommend him, and even insisted on using a knife to do dark things for him.

"Well, I, Bai Yu, already know Mr. Lu's high righteousness, so naturally I have no trust in you at all..."

"No, sir, and I can trust anyone. The only one I can't trust is me, because as a person who plots crimes, I don't trust anyone either!"

"Including me?"

"Yes, there are times when the master is confused, such as when dealing with tenants this time!" Lu Tiansheng didn't give Liu Baiyu any face.

Liu Baiyu nodded with a wry smile. He finally understood that people like Lu Tiansheng were usually like a crow's mouth. This was just talking and not actually doing anything. It's no wonder that people who did his job were not treated well in history and their reputations were ruined.

In the end, there are many who bear the eternal crime.

However, there is a reason why such people are not trusted. Liu Baiyu feels that Du Guangjiu, a loan shark, is cruel enough. Compared with Lu Tiansheng, he is like a kind-hearted common man. Lu Tiansheng's plan

, every strategy is filled with blood, such as concentrating land and establishing large-scale farming.

In the market, Lu Tiansheng believed that loan sharking was too slow and he would just let the local rogues do the fraud. As for the small landowners who stubbornly refused to sell their land, they could directly contact the "green forest heroes" and kill their families to seize the land... Listen

Liu Baiyu broke into a cold sweat and said, "Let's talk about long-term plans."

Of course, there were some things that Liu Baiyu immediately adopted. That was Liu Baiyu's decision to engage in the serfdom system like other landlords. After all, although the system of tenant landlords can promote the enthusiasm of tenants, it is not suitable for large-scale production and the promotion of new crops.

Quite unfavorable, Liu Bai

Yu was not willing to spend several years persuading and educating the tenants. Anyway, it was just a matter of imagination. American serfs had better food than the Chinese rich farmers of the same era. It can be seen that productivity determines everything, and businessmen with planes

As a plug-in, this is not a problem!

As for Lu Tiansheng's authority, he automatically and consciously positioned his authority only to investigate the outside and monitor the inside. The final power of disposal is still in the hands of Liu Baiyu alone, and the personnel power of his subordinates responsible for internal security is also completely controlled by Liu Baiyu

, Obviously Lu Tiansheng is deeply aware of his special status and department, and does not want Liu Baiyu to misunderstand anything!

Lu Tiansheng's internal health department has not achieved much results yet, but after Liu Baiyu changed the recruitment of tenant farmers to indentured servants, many modern health systems that were difficult to implement before were actually implemented...

Waves of refugees are sent here every three days, because the small river has been upgraded to a medium-sized river due to the upstream dam being washed away, and boats can also be sailed. This has greatly accelerated Liu Baiyu's collection of refugees, with four or five boats

Nearly a hundred people were crammed into the small boat, which made Liu Baiyu worried about whether such severe overloading would cause a serious accident...

Lu Tiansheng is now the manager in charge of the resettlement of refugees on the surface. This guy has a dark heart, but he does a good job on the surface. He smiles at the trafficker and says:

"Thank you for your hard work on the road. This is worth one hundred taels of silver. Look at it!"

The trafficker head did not have the stern and stern appearance in later literary works. Instead, he was dark-skinned and had a simple and honest face. However, he was obviously shocked by the appearance of modern silver ingots. He smiled from ear to ear and faced Lu.

Born to bow to the end

: "Steward Lu, thank you!" After all, he is also a veteran in business. Compared with the scattered silver, silver of this quality can be exchanged for five taels for six taels, which is equivalent to a large amount of extra income out of thin air. Naturally,

Overjoyed with joy.

Lu Tiansheng said no thanks, but asked his servants to go up and check the physical condition of the indentured slaves one by one. He found that there were really no serious illnesses among the more than 100 indentured slaves. At least they had no problem walking, and they had no symptoms.

High fever!

It's just that the smell of this indentured slave was a bit unflattering. Standing far away, Liu Baiyu also felt a smell similar to that of a pigsty. He hurriedly changed his position on the top of a hill and felt that he could breathe again. He couldn't say that Liu Baiyu

Squeamishness is constantly emanating from this cabin

The smell of urine, vomit, and some inexplicable mixture of substances, the smell is really not better than that of a pig pen. Liu Baiyu was so smoked that he vomited even though he was so far away. What about the slave traders who followed the ship all the way?

The business of slave traders is really difficult.

In the eyes of the trafficker leader, people like Lu Tiansheng who are in charge of things are enough for him to look up to. As for noble people like Liu Baiyu, they are not accessible to untouchables like him. However, when he asked if he could give him the silver he deserved,

When it was time to switch to snowflake salt of equivalent value, Liu Baiyu became interested in him and asked him to walk over.

The head of the human trafficker felt dizzy when he looked at Lu Tiansheng's silk clothes, let alone Liu Baiyu's exquisite Hanfu worth tens of thousands of yuan. As soon as he saw it, his legs became weak and he knelt on the ground, stammering and speechless.

, just kowtow, but it proves that he is really an honest person.

It took a long time for the guards to help him up, and it took him a long time to speak more fluently. He said that he had followed Du Guangjiu's route and knew that Mr. Liu had high-end snowflake salt for sale here, and he wanted to sell it to some high-end brothels.

In order to avoid losing money, I just want to ask the master to be merciful and allow him to buy salt.

Du Guangjiu does have some tricks up his sleeve! This trafficker must have a "business connection" with the brothel, but this kind of business kills two birds with one stone. Liu Baiyu knows that this kind of people are looked down upon, but in fact their economic sense is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

, so he rewarded him with five taels of silver and started chatting with him.

The trafficker first complained, saying that business is not easy to do these days. Although the harvest in Shandong in recent years has been barely passable [Liu Baiyu was shocked, given the continuous small disasters in recent years, it is still passable?], but he could not withstand the large-scale attack by Zhili last year.

The locust plague, in order to maintain stability in the capital, officials of the Ming Dynasty who were unable to provide disaster relief rushed the victims to Shanxi and Shandong. Shandong was also greatly affected. According to Liu Baiyu

In Linqing, which is only a small county town, you can hardly see it. In big cities like Jinan, refugees fleeing from famines and local hungry people gather on the wasteland near several temples with soup kitchens. Hungry people begging for food come to the streets every day.

In the alleys, cries of hunger can be heard endlessly. Because of the warm weather, various diseases have also become a lifeline in places where the poor population is concentrated. Every day, Baojia is carried from everywhere to the killing field outside the city.

"It's miserable!" the trafficker said with a grimace:

"Master, actually I also know that as a human trafficker, he deserves to be in the eighteenth level of hell! But these days, he has become a virtuous person who does good deeds. He doesn't even need to give money to buy people, he can just eat in one bite! But after a job like yours

Besides a Bodhisattva buying slaves, no master would want someone of unknown origin, right?"

The trafficker took a sip of tea handed over by the servant and said to Liu Baiyu:

"Mr. Liu, to tell you the truth, there are tens of thousands of refugees in Fucheng now! They are all skinny and bones from hunger. Sometimes people pass by when they fall asleep. If you stay there, you will die. When you arrive,

Sir, this is the way to live! I also know that the ship will easily capsize if there are too many people, but I can’t stand it, so I kneel on the ground and hug your thigh and don’t let go! I know quite a few of them, fellow villagers, alas..."

What else could Liu Baiyu say? Although what the trafficker said was suspected of promoting sales, he still needed a lot of manpower anyway, so he naturally said smoothly:

"To tell you the truth, I have recently opened some mountainous areas. They are all raw land and need manpower. You can transport them first and I will tell you when I have enough. Otherwise, it will be a long-term transaction! By the way, why do you need so much snowflake salt?

Does a brothel need so many?"

The trafficker hurriedly explained, and Liu Baiyu was impressed - this guy also knows about financial speculation! What a talent!

It turns out that the supply of salt in the Ming Dynasty is supposed to be nearby. The salt nearby is supplied by a salt farm controlled by a local Jinyiwei. It’s just that the guards have been abolished these years. The local Jinyiwei is different from the capital. There is no oil and water, and it has long been compared with ordinary farmers.

Undoubtedly, half a month ago, a group of pirates came in the middle of the night, killed the whole family of the Jinyiwei family, and completely burned down the fire salt field.

, countless salt workers were also hacked to death. Seeing that the local salt was about to be out of stock, the big salt merchants in Jianghuai not only refused to ship in, but instead bought local salt together, obviously trying to drive up prices and make a fortune! The head of the trafficker heard this

He heard the news and wanted to make some profit, but within a radius of a hundred miles, except for Liu Baiyu, there really were no large-scale salt sellers, so he had to ask for help.

The trafficker is an old man, and his words hinted that the pirates were probably related to the big salt merchants in Jianghuai. He advised Liu Baiyu to be careful. Liu Baiyu naturally understood, thanked him with a smile, and then told the trafficker to be careful.

For sanitation, four or five boats were thoroughly cleaned and disinfected inside and out with lime water, and then salt was provided. This was considered done.

It seems impossible for a businessman in the late Ming Dynasty to carry a black character. At this time, the authority of the country has begun to fall. In normal times, salt merchants colluded with pirates to kill hundreds of Jinyiwei families? Liu Baiyu smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking in his mind
