Chapter 0111 Hope
Before dawn, under the morning light, a convoy of vehicles drove up a straight official road and stopped at a certain point.
Five ox carts carrying thirteen people were from the Ye tribe, officials led by the county magistrate.
Finally arrived! "Lu Ming looked ahead at the fields in the still dark night ahead, where there was no shortage of river water. The water flowed softly among the dense and dark reeds, circling around a reed pond and examining the surrounding bushes. In front of him was an open but barren patch of thatched wood, as gloomy as a dead grave. The morning breeze swept by, giving people an ominous feeling.
Lu Ming stood expressionlessly, staring forward for a moment, and remained silent with his lips clenched.
He is making final thoughts and hesitations.
The 150000 taels of silver bills were handed over to the county government yesterday afternoon, and the remaining half will be paid after the land is delivered. Even if it is a silver bill, one hundred taels will require 1500 sheets, thick and layered. Although half of the funds need to be handed over to the county, with 150000 taels, it can do many things.
However, Lu Ming always feels that something is not right.
Ye Qing remained silent at this moment, as the cold wind swept by and he was also lost in thought.
These days, we have basically sold out our shares. In fact, not all thirty shares have been sold out, leaving five shares as the right to participate.
There are different voices at home, and with just one sentence, Ye Qing suppressed them and said, "My money is up to me
This leaves the tribe with nothing to say.
What Ye Qing wants is to show her strength. If the clan leader remains silent at home and Lu Ming remains silent in the county, no one will speak again.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Ming woke up and looked at the ox cart again. In fact, not only did he send someone to inspect Nanlian Mountain again, but even the county sent someone to inspect it. It is indeed a piece of bad land.
After thinking for a moment, I realized that I was a bit suspicious, so I said to the official, "Go back and get the seal and land deed
The officials had already received benefits from Ye Qing and quickly agreed. Everyone immediately stood in front of the county magistrate and presented them. Lu Ming looked at them, took out the big seal, carried the qi, and covered it.
No need to use ink, move the big seal away, and a golden big seal will appear on the land deed, with a faint golden light, and it will quickly converge inside again.
This is it. Seeing this, Lu Ming's expression became a bit bewildered. After calming down for a moment, he smiled and said, "Jie Yuan Gong, this can be considered accomplished
Thank you, sir. This is the remaining half, "Ye Qing said, waving her hand and seeing Lv Shangjing behind her, she took out stacks of silver tickets and handed them over.
Lu Ming smiled and looked at Ye Qing before saying, "I won't bother you now
Speaking, he turned around and left.
Ye Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, only to see that as soon as the land deed was completed, the ten thousand acres of land belonged to him, with the endorsement of the court, and was immediately executed.
Immediately, a hint of luck came, but it was only white with a hint of gray. Although the amount was large, it could not compare to the real fertile land of ten thousand acres.
Is this the final condition for Lu Ming to complete the contract? "Ye Qing thought to herself.
At this moment, the sunlight passes through the morning glow and falls on the earth. The entire field appears quiet and profound, and the residual chirping of insects can be heard clearly.
Ye Qing glanced around and saw that Lv Shangjing was deeply pondering something.
Mr. Lv! "Ye Qing asked," What are you thinking
I'm thinking it's not easy to cultivate this field... "Lv Shangjing opened her eyes and sighed," But there are still feasible methods
He stood up straight and pointed to the abandoned canal, saying, "Actually, half of it has been repaired here. With just a few hundred more people to repair it, it could be completed in half a month - it's just that according to the county annals, although it was irrigated, the output was still not good, so it was abandoned
My lord, these ten thousand acres of farmland may only yield one thousand acres of benefits
Ye Qing remained silent for a moment, squinting his eyes as he watched. After a moment, he smiled and said, "You're right, but in reality, it can't be calculated that way
My Ye family has 7000 acres, but we have a population of 3000. On average, we only have 2 acres and 3 cents of land, which is already the minimum number of land owned to support a household
When it comes to poor and humble couples, there are always sorrows. The same goes for this ethnic group. If there is less land and more people, there will be disputes and disturbances, and people's hearts will be ruined
How many families are stuck here and unable to go, so they have dispersed
Now I have ten thousand acres of farmland, whether it's bad farmland or good farmland. I can start working first - the land needs to be burned, the water channels need to be repaired, and houses need to be built. If I work until winter without any problems, I can pay for the wages and make them have a good year
Next spring, we can plant a large number of mountain sweet potatoes. Planting this is not as delicate as farming, but at least two hundred households can manage it. According to my heart, we need to relocate three hundred households. Our tribe originally only had eight hundred households, but we will relocate three hundred households at once. After deducting the manpower of the business workshop, at least half of the people who used to farm will be removed
With fewer people, more fields, and more various workshops, there has been much less internal strife within the clan. I can say that tomorrow's relocation will instantly elevate the morale of the clan
At this point, Ye Qing stopped speaking. Upon hearing this, Lv Shangjing was sincerely convinced and said, "Your Highness is wise and far sighted, which I have not yet considered
You just don't think so. Don't interfere with the allocation of the clan's farmland after the relocation of three hundred households, but this land is new and you are the main person in charge of Xiangtian Hall
Isn't this promotion too fast? After all, I'm just an outsider... It's better to pretend to be a counselor
Before Lv Shangjing could finish speaking, Ye Qing interrupted and said, "Don't have any thoughts. I trust you and don't care about anything else. This land is up to you to paint. Mr. Lv is a great man in the world, why bother with his wife and mother-in-law
Yes! "Lv Shangjing's heart warmed, and she bowed in response.
Although this lord is younger, he is not lacking in depth and knows how to make good use of others. His magnanimity makes him feel that it is worthwhile to join him.
Ye Qing pondered and said, "My grandfather in the clan is still here. I cannot directly seize power, but I must prepare first. This land is my foundation. If you work hard, or next year, there will be surprises
L ü Shangjing had long felt that it was unusual for the lord to buy this piece of land. Upon hearing this suggestion, she nodded silently and said calmly, "I have learned that I will definitely use this land as an iron bucket for management, so that the lord can rest assured
After finishing the main matter, Ye Qing smiled and asked, "Your house hasn't arrived yet
Not yet, but according to the time and distance, I'm afraid it will arrive in a day or two
Go back, take a break for three days, and then do your job! "Ye Qingsweeping looked at the ten thousand acres of fields, his heart racing. This is the foundation of the future in Yingzhou!
The grand scheme has been sent down, and Ye Qing is no longer in charge of specific matters. This is the privilege of the Dao Fa manifesting in the world.
As long as the power belongs to oneself, military and political affairs are not afraid of being sidelined.
In the blink of an eye, the night is vast and the clouds and stars are in the sky.
In the vast expanse of the sky, stars are densely packed. Before resting at night, one would take a break in the yard and chat for a while. This is necessary to soothe emotions and also to set aside time to spend with family. At first, only Qianqian participated, but when she returned in August, Jiang Zinan participated.
Qianqian lit the mugwort to smoke the mosquitoes and angrily asked, "I sold 25 shares for 370000 taels of silver, but in reality, I only received 300000 and still owe 70000
That's okay, why let our family spend 100000 taels to send to the county? We have money, don't we? We have to go around like this and pay some interest costs. What's the benefit
Do you feel sorry? "Ye Qing chuckled and reached out to scratch her nose." That's not how the accounts are calculated, little money enthusiast. Do you remember telling you the story of a big businessman from the Western Kingdom before
Remember
At the Dragon King Banquet, I was waiting to be invested, and now I am an investor... not entirely, but at least I have some spare capacity to invest, which is also necessary
Jiang Zinan perked up her ears on the side, and the movement of the fan to drive away the fireflies slowed down. She heard Qianqian boast about the power of her young master and tell this story.
In the transparent night, under the gaze of the two women, Ye Qing hesitated for a moment, recalling these past few lives and sighing, "Qianqian, Zinan, remember, simple money is not real power. Three hundred thousand taels of silver in the warehouse are just some silver pieces
Only when it flows can there be power. Rivers converge into the sea, vast and endless, floods block the wilderness, majestic and difficult to handle - who drives money, or who drives money? It's all people, and this layer is the true power
By giving my money to thousands of tribe members and two thousand tenants for use, this supply will be returned, which in itself drives the tribe to undergo changes, and this change gathers strength
Although the patriarch is still with the elderly, let alone the various factions, why do they allow me to do this? Because I have brought them benefits - equity, investment, and farmland
I learned about my family's economy from Zinan, combined with the output of the distillery, and borrowed 100000 taels of silver from my family to tie them to my car. At least for two or three years, we will unite as one. That's enough
Moreover, with an additional 100000 taels, the entire 10000 acre canal, road, house, and warehouse would not be much more than needed
So sinister, er... so powerful! "Qianqian glared at Ye Qing, covered her mouth with a smile, and squinted her eyes." But did you give two-thirds of the shares to the clan? In terms of money, it's still a big loss
Hehe, it's a loss of money, but it's for the sake of luck... The way of human beings is to sacrifice what is lacking and offer what is surplus. In terms of the law of money circulation, money doesn't need people's hearts, it only makes the strong stronger and the weak weaker. This may sound cruel, but it's irreversible
At this point, Ye Qing couldn't help but think of life on Earth. After a moment of confusion, he finally came to his senses and said, "But there is still luck in this world. Luck can be upgraded, and when it becomes thick to a certain extent, it undergoes a qualitative change, which helps life to molt and sublimate. The premise is that it can support this level of thickness without collapsing prematurely. This actually conforms to the changes in the natural order. With this premise, luck cannot ignore human hearts. That is to say, we cannot monopolize it to the end. We must ensure a certain basic treatment... This is called the way of heaven, which is to sacrifice more than we can offer
Ye Qing gradually fell in love with them, leaning half forward with almost all of her delicate faces in front of her. As she pleased herself, she couldn't help but bask in her eyes: "When I get up, I don't say I'm cold, but I can only say that I have enough food and clothing. This is the basic treatment given to me and my children by the clan. The fact that young children take off work to study is the reality of the Hongzhai family style. Regardless of other social situations, the basic treatment is like this. I don't complain about this, and I work hard
Jiang Zinan felt an inexplicable pain in his heart when he heard this. He clenched the fan in his hand and his face turned slightly pale.
Ye Qing didn't pay attention to this and continued, "But when my uncle came to snatch my right to take the exam, I was actually deprived of this basic treatment and couldn't continue studying. There was no other choice but to resist or not resist. I didn't agree and resisted
Young master... "Qianqian's gaze froze as she watched Ye Qing's carefree expression, her heart softened. She accompanied her all the way, rising and falling together, and could best understand the difficulties under this calm and open atmosphere.
Ye Qing walked all the way, but she didn't have much emotion. At this moment, she only shook her small hand and calmly stated, "To take over this Ye family village completely, I need to accumulate enough luck to maintain the unity of the people. First of all, we must implement binding, and secondly, we must ensure that all the people can have a relatively better treatment, not only more material, but also spiritual hope for the future
And out of ten thousand acres of land, three hundred households have relocated. According to their kinship, there can be as many as one hundred acres and as few as thirty acres, with half pay and half purchase. This gives them a spiritual hope that their hard work can be comforted, and their hearts can be peaceful
Here's an assignment for you. When you go back, you can think about how to implement binding and what your spiritual hope is. Why is this hope and not something else? How can you work hard to make it come true
This is actually the key to long-term peace and stability
Qianqian pursed her lips, focused heavily on her head, and her big, shiny eyes sparkled. Jiang Zinan listened silently, not knowing what had come to her mind, with a somewhat dazed expression until she returned to her room to rest.
The lights went out one by one in Yejiazhuang, leaving only the torches guarding the exterior walls shining brightly.
The night grew deeper.
