Wu Meiniang's tone was ambiguous, as if she was a little undecided.
But Xiao Shengyu just showed hope...
Wu Meiniang shook her head.
"But don't worry, girl, I still need to ask for instructions from my young master. Of course, uh..."
Wu Meiniang smiled apologetically, "It's probably true that the whole family is going to move south, but you can rest assured, my young master, and your majesty, will all give you conditions."
The conditions provided are, of course, the food reserves needed for farming, farm tools and weapons, etc.
When she said this, Xiao Shengyu was startled, but then he actually showed a look of joy.
Moving south...
After all, this condition is still set.
Of course, this is not a good condition, but Xiao Shengyu is already 70% or 80% satisfied.
It's not that she is really satisfied with this, but since the other party is willing to provide conditions and support for the settlement, then this matter...
In short, when I return to my family and resume my life, I should be able to explain it.
It's good to have an explanation, so what else is needed for a bicycle?
After all, in the current situation, the ants on the hot pot belong to your own family and not someone else's. It's a blessing to be able to get such a condition.
And the most important thing is that there is no good alternative now. If you bring this "conditions and support" home, it will be enough for Zhong's father to convince the whole family, right?...
Xiao Shengyu's face was filled with an uneasy smile that he didn't know whether he was lucky or grateful.
Seeing this, Wu Meiniang smiled slightly, knowing that the girl had been taken over. Then she had a conversation with Xiao Shengyu and settled the woman who had worked hard all the way in her own place.
This building is naturally the legendary "International Hotel".
Wu Meiniang and Xiao Shengyu whispered in the middle of the night, and finally managed to coax this admirable good girl to sleep and comfort her.
During the period, he told a lot about the situation when Li Sheng led his troops to colonize Zhongzuosuo Island, as well as the conditions of the city there, etc.
And some of these Wu Meiniang have actually seen it with their own eyes.
Of course, she didn't say this casually. After all, this woman was not appearing on a formal occasion. What if it was a trick...
However, Wu Meiniang's vision is not a joke after all. This woman has a pretty appearance, a simple temperament and a very unusual way of talking, so the possibility of it being crafted is very low.
After all, craftsmanship is a lowly job, and there is no such thing as Linglingqi in this era.
After putting Xiao Shengyu to bed, Wu Meiniang went to another room and picked up the phone.
This room is naturally Wu Meiniang’s office room!
It is also Wu Meiniang's real reception room. She did not bring Xiao Shengyu here.
The reason is very simple. I have negotiated the terms as much as possible on this matter, but I still have to ask Li Sheng for a decision.
"Young Master, it's true that I disturb you in the middle of the night..."
"It's okay, just say it."
Li Sheng on the other end of the phone felt a little emotional. Although the phone he was holding was shaped like a big iron bucket and almost didn't look like a phone at all, it was still a phone after all.
However, because the sound quality was unbelievably bad, Li Sheng also had the feeling that making a phone call with this sound quality in the middle of the night would be the same as a midnight ring...
But after Wu Meiniang greeted him, she said something that surprised him extremely.
"Oh, the young master is not asleep... Well, I just received a guest. This is a woman from the Xiao family in Chang'an."
"Mr. Xiao? Xiao Yu?"
Li Sheng was a little surprised. Isn't Xiao Yu a member of Qiwang's group? How come he went to find Wu Meiniang in the middle of the night...
Wait, is it possible that this guy wants to be a kid?
"Is this person here to join us on behalf of the Xiao family?"
Li Sheng guessed it right away, and Wu Meiniang on the other end of the phone immediately chuckled, "Young master is so smart, that's why!"
"So...then how did you reply?"
Someone among the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs wants to take refuge in him?
This is really interesting...
But Li Sheng also felt a little embarrassed, because although he said he didn't mind this kind of thing, it could even be regarded as a phantom.
After all, if a country wants to prosper, it must transform its society. Not to mention the world of great harmony, at least it must first transform these people who rely on collecting land rent. Even if you set up a factory? There can't always be so many people in a country.
Collecting land rent in vain has a certain bottom line, that is, we cannot continue to collect land rent, otherwise how will our development potential be released?
So Li Sheng was a little curious about how Wu Meiniang dealt with it. Of course, even if he couldn't agree with what he said, he could still talk about it.
However, he felt very lucky. Wu Meiniang said, "It has been agreed. Young Master originally said that if any wealthy family wants to join us, they are welcome. Our recent mission in the Tang Dynasty is to attract investment..."
"Well, I have talked with this girl. If you want to join her, you can join her, but you can no longer occupy the land. You must move south for farming."
Moving south, attracting investment, these words and things Li Sheng actually talked about with his right-hand men like Wu Meiniang and Ma Zhou many times.
Moving south does not only mean Zhongzuoso Island but also the recently discovered islands and reefs, as well as Southeast Bay and other places, as well as Lingnan and other places. Because these places are located in the south, they are often moved just because they are far away from the inland.
It is called a place of miasma.
But in fact, this is a temperate zone or even a subtropical zone, where the land is very productive.
Of course, the Xiao family is a prominent family in Chang'an, and there are doubts about whether they can accept the hardships of opening up wasteland. Therefore, Li Sheng was very curious about how Wu Meiniang could explain this matter.
Li Sheng drank tea and waited for Wu Meiniang's story.
However, the results were unexpected.
Wu Meiniang continued...
"Well, this is quite easy. I talked it over with this girl, and now she has agreed to be the master's concubine..."
Hearing this sentence, Li Sheng almost squirted a mouthful of tea onto the phone, which was not allowed to get wet——
"What did you say? There seems to be something wrong with this phone..."
Wu Meiniang was afraid that Li Sheng didn't hear clearly, so she repeated what she had just said.
Li Sheng was dumbfounded now, "Why is this a concubine???"
"Oh, although the young master has not married yet, this matter should be settled as it is. If this matter goes smoothly in the future, it will definitely cause the great families of the century to follow suit..."
Wu Meiniang knew that Li Sheng's development plan was very reliable and had great prospects.
But what worries Li Sheng is not that it is difficult to open the land, since it is a warm place after all, but that he can't find anyone...
The stereotype of a miasmatic land is similar to the fact that the north, including Europe, is a land of bitter cold. It has been circulating for too long.
So Wu Meiniang focused on this, but although Li Sheng understood it, he still felt it was outrageous, "But this concubine...how could it be like this??"
"Uh... Young Master, we have to cooperate with them..."
