The days when I fished in Daming

Being one step ahead is genius.

When your ideas are contrary to the majority.

It's not your problem, then it must be that others can't make the money.

When Zheng Xiong came back and told Zheng Qi that he bought ten thousand acres of wasteland for several people.

Zheng Qi's face turned pale with anger.

He immediately didn't eat anything and left angrily, sulking alone.

Likewise, Zheng Xiong had no intention of explaining.

Just keep silent and make a fortune. If word spreads, wouldn't you be looking for trouble for yourself?

"Second brother, what do you think? There must be a place to go when buying these lands!"

This is the first wave. Not counting my two wives coming over, my eldest brother Zheng Hu also ran over to ask.

Helpless, Zheng Xiong could only give an explanation.

"Nothing, I want to eat some oil!"

Zheng Hu looked puzzled.

"What does eating oil have to do with this? If you want to eat, you can just buy it."

Lying on the table, Zheng Xiong's mind was wandering, Lan Lan said.

"I want to eat rapeseed oil, sesame oil, and fatty oil, and they have to be grown and raised at home."

"By the way, aren't you and our dad quite free? I'll send someone to go with you tomorrow. You go over and take a look at that place."

"If it's convenient, we can recruit people to sort it out, and it will be ready for use next year."

Zheng Hu was quite helpless.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course it's true, why did I lie to you!"

I really can’t figure out Zheng Xiong’s intention.

To be honest, whatever the case may be, why buy so much land!
To be honest, there is really no prospect.

"Okay! I'll talk to dad later and take a look."

Zheng Hu had nothing to say and was about to leave. Zheng Xiong seemed to have thought of something again and suddenly spoke up.

"There needs to be a place close to a stream and a little more convenient to get water. I'll see if I can get something else out of the entire [-] acres."

Zheng Hu paused slightly and replied as he walked.

"understood."

To be honest, these people are still idle.

He said he didn't want it and was not optimistic about it, so they went out together the next day.

Went to see the land together with an official sent by Zheng Xiong.

It's just that I was fine when I went there, talking and laughing, just to relax.

After returning, everyone became mute and looked downcast.

When Zheng Xiong came back, he saw this look and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"What's wrong? Wasn't it nice when we went there?"

Not wanting to answer, no one wanted to talk to Zheng Xiong, so Zheng Hu replied to Zheng Xiong.

"That piece of land was a big loss. When we got there, at first glance, we saw that the place was quite big and the terrain was quite flat."

"But~hey~"

"The bushes are so thick that you can't even get in. If you want to clean them up, you have no hope unless you spend a lot of money."

"So! Second brother, we really lost this time."

That's it?

Zheng Xiong said "Oh."

Then there were no words.

With this look on his face and his attitude, if it weren't for his identity, he would really want to beat Zheng Xiong.

Once you know the reason, it's easy to explain.

After all, sooner or later you will make money, it is just a matter of time. .

He didn't say anything when he saw him. Zheng Xiong was also hungry, so he greeted him.

"You're all hungry! Come, let's get some food."

Zheng Qi replied calmly with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"No appetite, just eat it!"

After speaking, he left directly.

So are others.

Zheng Hu saw that everyone was gone, touched his nose and said.

"I came back and had something to eat. I'm not hungry now. You can eat! I'm going to the backyard."

Zheng Hu, the only one left, also left, looking really angry.

Wei Hong ran over worriedly and held Zheng Xiong's hands.

With four palms clasped tightly, the two people's hearts have never been more in tune with each other than at this moment. "If you are pregnant, you should pay more attention to rest. I don't have time to take care of you on weekdays."

"It's time to eat and drink, and I have no other requirements. Don't starve yourself and our children."

Wei Hong responded in a low voice.

"Ah."

"They're gone, let's eat together."

Sitting next to each other, Zheng Xiong picked up a piece of old hen's meat and handed it to Wei Hong's bowl.

"This is a supplement. Eat more."

"Okay, you can eat too."

"Well, is there anything going wrong in the house?"

"Fortunately, my parents knew I was pregnant and never let me have a hand on me. They ate well and didn't have to do rough work, so I got fat."

"Hey, let me see where you are fat?"

"No, where are you looking?"

"I'm not looking anywhere! Eat quickly."

~~~

Things at home are actually not difficult.

It looks like he has no money, but in fact he has a salary and will never die of hunger.

Mainly because my father, Zheng Qi, had been busy all his life and was suddenly free. He also saw Zheng Xiong losing his family, which made him a little uncomfortable.

Within two days they were reconciled.

On this day, Zheng Xiong also formally planned his plan to make a fortune.

"Jiangning County Magistrate Hou Zhiyuan met with Mr. Hou."

"Here we come! Sit down, come and serve tea."

Serving tea has almost become a necessary process.

After Zheng Xiong gave his instructions, he said to Hou Zhiyuan.

"I called you here because I have something to discuss with you."

Spreading out the book of fish scales, Zheng Xiong pointed his finger at one place.

Hou Zhiyuan immediately came over.

"There is only one curve to go from Nanjing to Jiangning, or there is a boat crossing from a branch of the Qinhuai River, which is very inconvenient."

"So this government plans to build a direct road from the south of Nanjing to Jiangning."

What did you think it was?

It's a good thing when you come here, and it's a huge good thing like building bridges and paving roads.

Hou Zhiyuan immediately became excited.

"Master Marquis, if you need me to do anything you need me to do, just say something, and everyone in Jiangning County will fully cooperate."

"Well, efforts must be made. After you go back, first organize people to cut down this area. During the off-farm season, pick up soil and gravel to create a passage in this hilly area. In the coming year, I will order a construction Build a straight road for you to connect the two places."

It's okay to cut down trees, but why is it a big area? It's a bit big!
Hou Zhiyuan asked, somewhat confused.

"Cut all this piece off?"

Zheng Xiong was of course certain and sure.

"Yes, it would be a waste to leave such a big land idle. After the two places are connected, there will be a lot of people along the road. You can plan it well."

understood.

"The Marquis is still thinking long-term, and the official is beyond his reach."

Zheng Xiong grinned, and the smile on his lips looked even more inscrutable.

"When we get back, let's start preparing!"

"Oh, by the way, this year's taxes will not be levied. This government will exempt them. However, they still have to do this work, but they will not be allowed to work in vain. Each of them will be given a subsidy of ten cents."

Hou Zhiyuan looked embarrassed and said in a low voice.

"It's not necessary!"

Each one of them is like a miser, shrinking when they hear money.

"Don't worry, you don't have to pay. The money will be provided by the government. You just have to do the things assigned by the government."

Fortunately, a false alarm.

"Yes"

"There's nothing else to do here, you can leave."

"Farewell sir."

After the others left, Zheng Xiong chuckled.

The laughter gradually spread.

He is really a genius.
