The uncertain Fu Yin stared at Zhao Wuyou, fearing that this moody playboy would do something shocking.
Zhao Dezhao did not do as she wished, but looked at him with some disappointment and said with a smile:
"My lord, you look like this. You must have been given orders by someone above me. I guess you are also in a difficult situation. If I continue to be ignorant, I will cause trouble for you."
Zhao Wuyou smiled and looked at Jing Zhaoyin. The latter didn't expect that Zhao Wuyou was so sensible, so he looked at Zhao Wuyou with some excitement, hoping that he could give him a suitable way to make it easier for him.
The people above can get by.
"Let's do this, you take out one hundred thousand taels of silver to compensate the girls who suffered, and by the way, judge those who are in prison in the streets and kill them as a warning to others.
Finally, if you warn the people of the Salt Gang and ask them to hand over a culprit to plead guilty, this matter should be solved, what do you think, sir?"
Zhao Wuyou expressed his thoughts, and the Fu Yin sitting next to him also looked a little more relaxed at the moment. Compared with Zhao Wuyou's previous request, not to let go of the powerful people in the capital and the people behind them, the current request is simply
Something too simple.
However, he still had some doubts about what Zhao Wuyou wanted to do with one hundred thousand taels of silver. Could it be that the one hundred thousand taels were to be distributed to the girls who had suffered, and the compensation was probably too high.
If Zhao Wuyou wanted to stay secretly, he would be able to accept it, but through his inquiries, he found that Zhao Wuyou was not a person who cherished money. He also spent a lot of money on weekdays. He did not seem to be a greedy person at all.
"Sir, I can promise you the other two items now, but the first item costs one hundred thousand taels of silver, which is probably a bit too much. These poor girls can buy it from their parents with only twenty taels.
Come down and go home to be a maid.
It costs one hundred thousand taels at once, and there are only more than thirty girls in total. If this is divided equally, the money each girl can get is more than my ten years of salary." Fu Yin said exaggeratedly, he couldn't figure it out.
, what does Zhao Wuyou need so much money for?
Zhao Wuyou knew he would ask this, so he smiled and said,
"I will buy a piece of land outside the city and build a place in the name of the capital to adopt orphans without fathers and mothers, and teach them to read, write, and learn crafts.
This thing is beneficial to the court and the people. I want to do it but I don’t have enough money. If you ask for the money, I can give you some."
When he said he wanted to give it to Jing Zhaoyin, the latter's eyes lit up, but he still shook his head.
"Young master, please don't say that. If I can do something that is beneficial to the court and the people, I will do it without any hesitation. How can I do it for my own selfish gain?"
Immediately afterwards, the conversation changed and he patted his chest and promised Zhao Wuyou:
"Don't worry, just leave this matter to me. I'll collect all the money within three days and report it to the Ministry of Punishment to take care of other matters."
After reaching a deal with the Jingzhao Mansion, Zhao Wuyou declined the other party's suggestion to treat him to a drink, and left the Jingzhao Yin Mansion in an amicable manner, and came to the dock alone.
Today was already the agreed time, but it was delayed a bit by Jing Zhaoyin's invitation. However, Zhao Wuyou handed over the shopping contract to Xing Yuqiang and asked him to help pick up the goods, so it would not waste any time.
After a while, Zhao Wuyou brought Banban to the dock. Xing Yuqiang and Qian Qianqiang were standing on the dock, leading the workers to unload the goods.
The two sisters, Bingqing and Yujie, followed and did what they could.
Zhao Wuyou rushed back and greeted everyone with a smile, while the two sisters jumped up to Zhao Wuyou and chatted.
"Sir, you know, we have been waiting here for a long time, and the boat came over slowly. It was really too slow."
"Yes, yes, sir, you don't even know that we have just started unloading the ship. Those things are so big and heavy that neither my sister nor I can lift them."
“…”
After dealing with the two sisters, Zhao Wuyou stepped forward again and asked Xing Yuqiang for details.
Xing Yuqiang, who was helping the director unload the cargo, stepped off the ship and handed the list to Zhao Wuyou.
"Sir, it's worth two hundred thousand taels in total, including a lot of iron ore, a lot of ponies and calves purchased from nearby wild lands, and even a lot of good wood.
Except for some living creatures and a few dead ones, everything else has been checked and there are no problems."
The attentive Xing Yuqiang had already walked through the ship's warehouse and found nothing unusual.
Zhao Wuyou looked at the ponies and calves that were being led out. He knew that in the future, these living animals would be needed for plowing land and camels. These things near the wild land were the best, and they had to be purchased.
Purchased.
Zhao Wuyou has quite a lot of experience in raising these small animals. The Yangjiao Mountain he bought has a lot of natural pasture and a vast area for them to have fun.
"By the way, you didn't forget the seeds I brought them when they passed by Nan County, right?" Zhao Wuyou said to Xing Yuqiang, this matter is related to the lives of those hungry people this year, there must be no mistakes,
Otherwise, they can only stare blankly this year. Locals also buy seeds in Nan County. The amount purchased by Zhao Wuyou is huge, and ordinary retail investors cannot afford it.
"Yes, yes, I checked it, but I don't know much about seeds. You can find someone familiar with it later to take a look and see if there is any problem with this batch of seeds." Xing Yuqiang said quickly, he was too much
He was so busy that he almost forgot the seeds that Zhao Wuyou valued.
Zhao Wuyou felt relieved after confirming that there were seeds. While unloading the boat, they notified A Qi and others over there to come quickly. When the hungry people knew that the seeds were coming, they were all very happy and rushed to grab them.
Go to the city to collect seeds.
However, pulling things was a man's job after all, so Aqi invited more than thirty strong men to ride to the dock in a simple carriage.
"Aqi, come here." Zhao Wuyou waved to Aqi, indicating that he should come to his side.
"Sir, we have thirty people here. Is this enough?"
He looked at Bing Qing Yujie aside and felt a little embarrassed. Even when he spoke, he became particularly nervous.
"There are enough people, but there are just a lot of trips. I have arranged for a lot of carriages to come over. Now you take the people and take these calves and foals back and take good care of them. These living creatures cannot wait.
This is the foundation for the development and growth of our Yangjiao Mountain. You must take good care of it. As for the seeds, I will take people with me to divide the fields and seeds for you tomorrow."
With Zhao Wuyou's words, the hungry people who were placed in Yangjiao Mountain were all very happy, and they got on the carriage with the calf in their arms.
Finally, Zhao Wuyou's generosity finally alarmed the people in the capital. They all knew that Zhao Wuyou actually used the money he asked from the powerful, plus his own money, to really help the hungry people live next to the capital.
The name of the good man Zhao Wuyou once again resounded throughout the capital.
It wasn't until the sun set and the city gate was closed that Zhao Wuyou's carriage team transporting living animals came to a stop.
As for other items such as wood and iron ore, I'm afraid it won't take more than three days.
The seeds were also escorted to Yangjiao Mountain by Zhao Wuyou who did not have enough money to wait for others. Early tomorrow morning, he would follow these people to divide the fields and distribute the seeds.
Yangjiao Mountain, where wolves howled at night, has now become a paradise. The hungry people looked at the piles of things and finally ignited their hope in life. They also expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Zhao Wuyou for saving their fate.
grateful.
Outside the tent, Zhao Wuyou and Yuqiang, who are not rich enough, were admiring the moon together. Tomorrow, they would host important events such as dividing fields and seeds. Zhao Wuyou did not dare to delay because of drinking.
"Sir, if these people really live here, we can also use this place as a place for recreation. Not only can we build workshops, but we can also build another one based on Wangyou Street. That would be so fun.
In the future, outside the capital, there will be a great place like Yangjiao Mountain, with beautiful scenery and vast space. I believe there will be a lot of business there, at least it will be better than Wangyou Street."
Fatty Qian was thinking about it, but he just wanted to treat Yangjiao Mountain as a simple place to visit, but Zhao Wuyou was different. He regarded this as the place where he started his career. After a few years, Yangjiao Mountain would become his own.
Only the place close to your heart will do.
With different ambitions, they are destined to focus on different functions. Although Zhao Wuyou will also develop some entertainment things, his main business is definitely not a place for entertainment.
Xing Yuqiang on the side seemed to be able to see through Zhao Wuyou's thoughts. He looked at Zhao Wuyou with a smile and asked:
"Sir, what will you make of this place? Will it be turned into a workshop, or will it be turned into an entertainment place, or something else?"
There were many choices, but Zhao Wuyou chose to take them all and build a slightly modern small town, an indestructible small town. This was his goal.
The three of them chatted for a while and then lay down on the grass to sleep. As for the tent, it was occupied by the two sisters Bingqing Yujie.
…
Early the next morning, Zhao Wuyou washed his face and practiced, and finished it in one go. Those middle-aged people who had been planting fields all their lives were eagerly waiting beside the seeds. They had been dealing with seeds and fields all their lives, and they had a natural affinity for these things.
.
"Fellow villagers, next, each of your households will send one person to follow the twenty village chiefs of their respective villages. Then, we will start to divide the land according to the size of each family, and then divide the seeds.
One thing I want to repeat to you is that you all stay here voluntarily. This land is mine, including the land you cultivate, the land you live in, and the food you share.
However, I will not charge you any fees. You only need to give me one-twentieth of the grain harvested every year. In other words, if your family harvests two thousand kilograms of grain, just give me one hundred kilograms of grain.
.Everyone agreed to this, and they all signed and fingerprinted.
As long as everyone still acknowledges this, we will start dividing the fields and the land."
Zhao Wuyou stood on the high platform and said loudly, the people did not hesitate and shouted:
"agreed, agreed,"
"Let's start dividing the land."
Zhao Wuyou, with insufficient money and Xing Yuqiang, combined with the twenty elected village chiefs, began a vigorous battle to divide the land and divide the seeds.
During the land division, anything could happen, and it was the first time for Zhao Wuyou to see so many people fighting, quarreling, and even fighting together.
Even if lots were drawn, there would always be people who regretted it later or cried in front of Zhao Wuyou, but Zhao Wuyou still solved the problem with the greatest patience.
A land division matter was finally settled, but only two days later.
As for the distribution of seeds, it is relatively simple. Whoever owns the fields will receive as many seeds as they want.
As for those without family members, Zhao Wuyou also invited a few old gentlemen to set up an academy at the foot of the mountain to provide a place for these young children to study.
Those who lost their labor force were assigned to light jobs such as herding sheep and cattle.
After the efforts of Zhao Wuyou and others, this originally barren land began to smell like fireworks, as well as the sound of reading loudly and the sound of weaving.
Zhao Wuyou stood on the high mountain and looked at the people who had divided their fields and seeds and started plowing in spring. He believed that soon, a lot of green malt would grow on this land.
"Sir, I like this Yangjiao Mountain more and more now," Xing Yuqiang sighed as he looked at the smoke curling up from the mountains and the people planting seeds with the sun on their backs.
"Me too." Fatty Qian smiled and put his hands on his hips.
Zhao Wuyou smiled and said nothing, but his eyes were the same as theirs, looking at the pastoral scenery that had taken shape down the mountain. This chapter has been completed!
