Chapter 177: I'm Rich, Rich
The convoy left Xiongzhou City.
On the carriage, the two strong servants turned their heads and said to Mr. Mei: "Get the deed."
Mr. Mei did not dare to neglect her, so he quickly took out the wooden box in his arms and handed it over.
One of the strong servants took the wooden box, opened the deed and carefully checked it, and confirmed that it was correct. He took out another document and asked Mei Youren to sign and press his handprints. The two documents were put together and put them back into the wooden box and put them in his arms.
The strong man said: "This time I did a good job. This matter must be kept completely confidential. No one can let it go when asked in the future. The promised reward of 50 kWh will be kept in the car. Don't stay in Ohara Castle, go to other places."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I am a man from the world, so I naturally know the rules. When I get the reward, I will keep my mouth shut. With this money, I will just go to Jiangnan to take a walk, which is better than the bitter and cold place here."
Punishment Xu Tong hurried to the Scripture Department, but did not see the wealthy businessman who bought the land. The Scripture Department smiled and said to Xu Qing: "Sir, I really didn't expect that they would sell them all in this time, and the other party did not bargain. It was a total of 80,700 trump cards for real money."
Xu Qing was shocked and entered the room and saw a row of large boxes neatly arranged in the hall, four silver boxes and ten copper coins boxes. Now the lids are open, brightly lit there.
Xu Qing's breathing was a little rapid.
He was excited at this moment because with this money, Xiongzhou could help those victims, and he could get through this year without any trouble. He could buy food and do many things.
"Have you calculated it clearly?" Xu Qing asked excitedly.
"I have calculated it clearly, and I have a lot of money." Dian Li said.
"Okay, put these money in the warehouse and strictly take care of it. There must be no mistakes. I will report this good news to the prefect."
When Xu Qing came to the prefect's office, he saw Qin Guan, and said with excitement on his face, "Sir, I really didn't expect that all the land was sold. Today, a rich man came and bought all the land for sale in one go, which was more than 80,000 yuan. This solved the dilemma of Xiongzhou."
Qin Guan smiled faintly after hearing this: "This is a good thing. Now we have money to do things. Since you are here, let's discuss how to use this money."
Seeing that Qin Guan was not very excited, Xu Qing was a little surprised, but when he heard Qin Guan say this, he said, "I don't know what sir."
Qin Guan said: "I do have some ideas. I think that giving them money and food to return home may not be a good way. Since the court has developed ways to build roads, rivers and canals and recruit wing troops, we will use it."
"My idea is to select a group of young men from these refugees to be included in the wing army. The remaining middle-aged men can be used as laborers. These people are basically from one household, and their income can naturally support their families. If they are indeed from the elderly, weak, women and children, we are providing relief. You think this is good."
Xu Qing thought for a while and said, "My sir."
Giving money to those refugees is indeed not a good way. It is inevitable that there will be problems of one kind or another, and it is better to manage it directly by the government.
Moreover, the current wing army is full of veterans, and it can be said that they have almost no combat effectiveness. At most, they can provide some assistance and transport food and grass. It is better to take the opportunity to recruit a group of young and strong people.
I didn’t recruit before because I couldn’t afford it. Now I have money and everything is easy to do.
"Sir, in this way, we urgently need a large amount of food now. We cannot let people drink porridge. We also need to prepare some houses and resettle those people." Xu Qing said.
"Of course, but the grain price in Xiongzhou is too high now. You go and talk to those grain merchants. If the price can be reduced, it is similar to the price in Dayuan City, we will buy a large batch."
Xu Qing went there soon and returned in the evening, his face full of anger.
"Sir, all the grain merchants are the best dealers. They eat people and don't spit bones. They bite the price tightly and don't let go. They even shout that the prices are now low. Even if we buy prices, they won't drop. They are really a bunch of bastards."
Qin Guan narrowed his eyes. It seemed that the prince of Xiong'an was really capable in Xiongzhou. He controlled the price of grain. The grain merchants who came to the prefectural office dared not give face.
Qin Guan sneered: "We are only 20 miles away from Ohara City. At worst, we can send someone to Ohara City to buy it. These tricks can still stump us."
"Yes, let's go to Dayuan City to buy grain." Xu Qing also said angrily.
If the grain in Xiongzhou is placed in the current model, it will be more than half a month. This period of time is enough to buy grain in Dayuan City.
The next morning, a convoy of grain purchases in Xiongzhou was launched, with a huge swath of hundreds of large trucks. Two Xiongzhou officials were responsible for purchasing grain. At the same time, Hu Yuan, the guerrilla general of the Xiongzhou army, was sent to select hundreds of people from the Xiang army to be responsible for the transportation and escort work.
Thinking about it, Qin Guan asked Xiong Daxiong and the other two brothers to follow him.
The purchase of grain in Xiongzhou was quite smooth. Although the prince of Xiong'an had his own hands in Xiongzhou, he could not affect Dayuan City. A few days later, the grain-buying convoy began to return.
On the official road, hundreds of trucks were filled with food, a full of 4,000 stones of food, enough for 30,000 refugees to eat for half a month, and they were the kind of food that was full.
Moreover, this is just an emergency food. Xiongzhou is rich now and has ordered a large amount of food with Dayuancheng grain merchants. By then, the grain merchants will be transported to Xiongzhou by then. By that time, Xiongzhou will not be short of food.
As long as you have money, these are easy to solve.
At the same time, Qin Guan also wrote a letter to Zheng Da, telling him that if the Zheng family had a business selling grain in the north, they could contact him, and not buy whoever they bought, and why not take care of his friends.
The convoy moved forward slowly, Xiong Daxionger and Hu Yuan walked side by side in front of the team. Because the ox cart was slow, the three of them were riding on horseback and chatting casually.
Now Xiong Daxiong Er has an official position and is also a guerrilla general of the Xiongzhou Xiangjun, which is considered to have reached the top in one step.
Hu Yuan was also a rough man, with a big beard and spoke in a rough voice. After seeing the weapons hanging on horses by Xiong Daxiong Er and his two men, Hu Yuan said: "I think the two brothers have good martial arts skills. In ancient times, those who used horse lances were all generals. Brother Xiong Ping's mace weighed 36 kilograms, but I can't play with them. My big sword to kill horses is only 16 kilograms."
Xiong Er said: "My is nothing. The young master is amazing. His domineering gun weighs 68 kilograms, and I can't even play it for a few times."
