Chapter 297 Self-directed and self-acted
"So Mao Zhiwen agreed?"
"He has no reason not to agree."
Zhao Liang asked, Jiang Zhe replied. The two looked at each other and smiled, and this wave of cooperation was absolutely perfect.
"Then let's strike while the iron is hot, and make this happen sooner and feel at ease."
Jiang Zhe nodded when he heard this. In his opinion, the matter was really dangerous. "I found out who did it?"
There has been definite news that someone is deliberately spreading rumors, which means that someone is targeting the Zhao family.
"I'm not sure what's wrong. So many people, check the yarn."
"Not even a person of suspicion?"
Jiang Zhe felt that giving up so easily was not Zhao Liang's personality. This guy looked sick while looking at his appearance, but the longer he met, the more he could find that his true personality was very combative.
Especially if I don’t like to suffer losses, I feel a little vengeful.
"Several mansions do things at the same time, and they have made it happen. Such a strategy is not something that ordinary people can do. Among the people I know, only the Kang family has such ability. But the Kang family won't make such a fuss with my family? And if they really do it, I can't buy food. Now the Kang family's grain has been shipped to Ruzhou. As long as I hand it over a message, more than 100,000 stones of grain will be delivered to Zhoujiakou continuously."
"Yizhou Zhuang family is very prosperous, but I have no relationship with them. And if I guess out of thin air, there are many people in the entire Daqingguo who have such abilities. Can I doubt and argue one by one?"
Zhao Liang felt that based on his current acting skills, he would travel back to 9012 again, and he would not be afraid of having no food to eat.
Jiang Zhe had no doubt that this crisis was directed and acted by Zhao Liang.
Put your head aside and the person leaves.
Zhao Liang had no idea, so he was even more incapable. Let’s go find Mao Zhiwen.
"you mean……"
Mao Zhiwen grabbed several beards on his chin and frowned.
"Sir, although Zhoujiakou is prosperous, it all depends on the convenience of river water conservancy, and the people and merchants are also crowded on both sides of the straits. There are large areas of wastelands and puddles in other places. Why not use these wastelands as material and let the Zhao family help the court to overcome this disaster? So what if you give all these wastelands to the Zhao family?"
Zhoujiakou is a place where many waterways such as Shahe River, Ying River, Jialu River, Ru River gather. Although there are many people, outside the prosperous Zhoujiakou Market, there are still large areas of river beaches, puddles and other uninhabited places.
The name of Chen Biao’s hometown is Chen Tan.
These uninhabited lands are not small in size. What’s more important is that they are near the treasure pot of Zhoujiakou. As long as they are properly rectified, whether Zhao Liang goes to build a factory or start a workshop or directly sells land to build a warehouse, it will be very profitable.
The most important thing is to take advantage of the opportunity to obtain so much cheaper labor, which will greatly reduce the cost of investment.
The Zhao family can also earn a lot of reputation, benefiting everyone from officials, the people and themselves, and killing three birds with one stone.
Jiang Zhe can also use this contribution to consolidate his foundation and lay a solid foundation for his next progress.
"Okay. Go and tell Zhao Guangming that as long as his family keeps this matter, and I will take charge of it, all the land will belong to him."
Mao Zhiwen immediately made a decision.
Anyway, they are all some deserted beaches and puddles, and they are not their own, so what if they give them to the Zhao family?
As long as the Zhao family keeps things in hand and let the old man in Chenzhou City pass this level safely, no matter how much land, fur and Zhiwen are, they will be willing to do so.
Because as long as this matter is reported to the Fucha family, Mao Zhiwen will sell a big favor to the Fucha family.
Not to mention that this matter is a good political achievement, which means that there is no need for the Fucha family, and you can also gain face if you say it out.
"It's fine if you agree. This matter is decided."
What Zhao Liang needs to be busy with next is how to organize the refugees who come to work.
The refugees looked very sloppy, not only were they all covered in dust, but they were all dressed in rags.
Some children were even completely naked, and they didn't care at all. They just looked at the neatly dressed and held swordsmanship of the Longlukou militia with curious and fearful eyes.
Even their parents and elders are the same. However, adults have a sense of awe in their hearts and dare not look at them too much. The fear of unknown things is also affecting them, causing them to turn their eyes occasionally for a while and quickly shrink back.
Even if this is the place where the Zhao family took the initiative to defect to.
Zhao Liang's eyes flew over his dull, honest and numb faces. It can be seen that the personalities of these refugees and refugees have not been changed by the helplessness of life. After all, although these people are fleeing famine, they are still different from the old predecessors in the late Ming Dynasty.
Most of them used to be the mud legs of farmers who had spent their entire lives in the village to farm, and now they are the same.
The only difference is that the 'insight' has become larger.
Before, their understanding of the outside world was probably limited to the narrow range of villages and towns where they lived. Many people didn't even know that they had never been to other counties. Their social relations were also very simple, and most of them were limited to neighbors or landlord owners.
But now, the most basic living environment and order of these people have been disrupted, and these people’s “vision” has become broader. From a dominant point of view, this is of course not good.
The only thing that is thankful is that these people received relief from government and gentry from time to time along the way of escape, which means that their living environment is far less harsh than "can do anything for a bite."
Therefore, their "heart" has not deteriorated yet, and most people still maintain their previous mud legs.
This greatly reduced the burden on the Zhao family.
Because Chinese farmers are the most tame in nature, they only need to eat in one bite and live, and they can tolerate the maximum exploitation and trampling of superiors.
Now that the Zhao family gives them a bite of food, they can survive, they will naturally be able to squeeze and exploit them as much as possible.
The number of people in the delegation was obviously far less than that of refugees, but the latter was like the gentle pigs and sheep, and the delegations were allowed to separate them and then take them down to wash them down in batches.
Yes, wash.
That's the real scrub.
In large wooden structure houses next to them, men and women take baths and hair washes separately and other personal hygiene activities.
Also shaving is done at the same time, which is best for children to repair. Both men and women are shaved.
But adults must combine their own wishes.
There are large bathhouses built with bricks and soil cement in the room. The steam engine continuously sends hot water to the high water tower and then transports it to the pool along the elevated water channel.
At the same time, they will pour in buckets of burnt potions from time to time, or throw some sulfur into it cleanly.
