Please, marry a white snake wife. It’s super cool.

Chapter 118 What wages do refugees get? Shit!

Perennial wars in the north have left the refugee problem unresolved.

Liaodong, that is, outside the customs, has the largest number of refugees.

Yandu, as the capital of the previous dynasty, was also Dadu.

And then to the current location of Prince Yan’s Mansion.

This has always been one of the largest cities in the north.

There was a war in the north, and people lost their houses and land.

It was natural to flee south.

Yandu is naturally the first choice for this place of escape.

Taking Yandu now as an example, the number of refugees has reached tens of thousands.

That's not to say that the court won't solve the problem, or that King Yan doesn't feel uncomfortable seeing so many refugees in Yandu every day.

It is really difficult to solve this matter.

Solving the problem of refugees seems very simple, just make them have food to eat and be able to be self-reliant.

But this extremely simple question is actually difficult now.

There is only so much land, so you allocate the original land to these refugees.

What about the people who originally owned the land?

The most critical thing is that the root cause of the refugee problem lies in the war in the north.

Find a place to resettle these thousands of refugees today.

It won't take half a month for another three thousand to arrive.

Fortunately, the war in the north is going smoothly now, and it is estimated that the army will be able to return to the country this fall.

At that time, we can also send these refugees back.

But what day is it now?

It’s only February.

How to deal with the remaining half a year?

These refugees all depended on the wealthy merchants in the city who opened warehouses outside the city to release grain every day.

If you can eat a thin meal in three days, that's a good thing.

And with so many victims who don’t have enough to eat, many problems naturally arise.

Not to mention petty theft.

Some were so hungry that they were already heading to intercept the road.

If we could really solve the refugee problem, that would be really...

Thinking of this, King Yan was not happy.

If his eldest son said this, then King Yan would be happy.

It is appropriate for my eldest son to do things properly. If he says he can, he can.

But this was said by his second son.

What kind of virtue does Gu Gaoxu have? How can he, a father, not know it?

It's never right.

However, I am still happy to listen.

Immediately, King Yan raised his eyebrows and said:

"How do you want to solve it?"

And Gu Gaoxu waved his hand and said:

“Build a factory!

Dad, what you just saw were all made from a county in Qilu called Taining City.

There is great talent there.

We have made an agreement with him. Once we find the land, he will invest the money to build the factory!

A factory would need thousands of people just to recruit directly!

These are only the people who can be recruited directly. The most important thing is that such a factory can provide tens of thousands of jobs! "

When he was in Taining City, Gu Gaoxu saw them all.

That's what you see clearly.

Once Lu Yuan's factory was built, I don't know how many people were recruited to work for Lu Yuan.

Just talk about the shops in Taining City that supply factory materials.

The scale has doubled!

That's all.

Let’s talk about shops that don’t seem to match the factory, such as clothing shops.

Gu Gaoxu could see clearly that when he first went to the clothes shop in the east of the city, there was one clerk there.

When I was ready to leave after eating, drinking and having fun in Taining City for several days.

There have been six guys there.

They are all new recruits.

Why?

Isn’t it because of that factory?

Besides that, there are many similar things.

This factory with 3,000 people, only visible to the naked eye, has several thousand people.

But there is more that cannot be seen with the naked eye!

When a large factory comes to Yandu, it can be said that tens of thousands of refugees can be completely digested in a few days.

Even speaking...

Gu Gaoxu feels that if he builds a factory in Yandu, it should be able to expand even bigger!

For example, there were only 3,000 people in Taining City when we left.

But Yandu can definitely have tens of thousands of people.

As for why...

After all, these are refugees! !

How much do refugees get paid?

Shit!

If they have food and shelter, they will be grateful.

This costs absolutely nothing.

For workers in Taining City, the salary was three denarii a month.

Naturally, we need to control the number of people.

But is it necessary in Yandu?

No need at all, come on!

all come!

All refugees come in to work and are provided with food and shelter!

Believe it or not, just shout like this when you go to the gate of Yandu.

These people are here to steal your head!

Especially for this group of people, there is no need to wait until the factory is built before entering the factory.

We can also use this group of people when building a factory.

Ten thousand refugees built a house together.

How fast is this?

And this group of refugees can be dealt with now.

As for whether it is easy to manage so many people.

You see, in Taining City, it is difficult to manage more than 3,000 people.

There are often verbal disputes.

Some have bad tempers and will get into fights.

But in Yandu, there is no need to worry at all.

The person in charge has a whip in his hand.

Dare to make trouble?

I'll whip you with a riding crop!

Beat it to death!

See who dares!

What, too cruel?

If you think it's cruel, then don't do anything wrong!

In other words, then don’t work in the factory!

Go out and starve you to death!

Anyway, Gu Gaoxu thought about all these things when he came back.

Now that he told his father, Gu Gaoxu couldn't help but want to start.

……

At this time, Lu Yuan had no idea that Gu Gaoxu had evolved into Gu Bapi.

Now she is happily shopping with Song Meiqin.

The two of them didn't stay much in the provincial capital.

I did some shopping during the day and returned to the Chief Envoy's house at night.

Just stay here for one night tonight.

Leave tomorrow morning.

……

At night, everyone was seated in the main hall of the chief envoy's house.

The chief envoy was in the main seat and Lu Yuan was in the guest seat.

The chief envoy also changed into regular clothes when he returned.

Apart from the crimson official robes, the meal in the evening seemed like a family, much more intimate.

"Lu Yuan, what's going on with the heated floor in your house?

Ziheng's mother went to your house once, and she kept talking about how warm your house was when she came back.

It is said that burning ten spiritual stone stoves is not as effective as the floor heating in your home. "

Listening to what the Chief Envoy said, there was naturally nothing to say. He said that before leaving tomorrow, he would take a look at the Chief Envoy's home.

When the time comes, a design sketch will be drawn and the craftsmen from Taining City will do the construction.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

"Lu Yuan, do you think we are a little too harsh on you?"

While pushing cups and changing cups, the chief envoy suddenly said this.

The chief envoy's sudden words made everyone at the banquet table, including Lu Yuan, stunned for a moment.

Then Song Meiqin immediately stood up and looked at the little boy aside and said with a smile:

"Zi Heng, would you like my aunt to tell you a story~"

Afterwards, Song Meiqin hugged the little man and left.

The people at the dinner table were also very observant and they all left with excuses.

In almost half a minute, Lu Yuan and the Chief Envoy were the only ones left at the dinner table for more than a dozen people.

Lu Yuan came back to his senses and thought about it.

I wanted to talk on the spot.

But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't matter. There is no one here in private, especially the chief minister's head, which is not high-sounding.

So after thinking about it, I’d better tell the truth.

After all, even if he really said something wrong, it can still be said to be nonsense made after drinking too much at the wine table.

So after thinking about it, Lu Yuan grinned and said:

“I just feel that the Chief Minister is a little too cautious.

We have made it clear many times that given our relationship, we will never use this thing to harm you.

This is just a means for us to protect ourselves. "

The chief envoy nodded slightly, took a sip of wine and said:

"Then do you know that by letting you be an official, I am also protecting you?"

Lu Yuan was startled and couldn't help but blinked.

Then, the chief envoy said quietly:

“You are related to me, and you are also related to other people in the province?

If I trust you, will others trust you too?

Everyone is giving you little stumbling blocks, can you bear it? "

Lu Yuan was silent.

The chief envoy said quietly:

"You just have to get into this big dye vat and let everyone know that you are the same as them.

Then they will let down their guard against you.

In addition, you must also know that we will not sit in this seat for a long time.

The imperial court wanted to prevent officials from staying in one place for a long time and becoming entrenched.

Every few years, chief envoys from various places rotate with each other.

It has been almost six years since I took office as Chief Envoy, and my expiration date is almost over.

If we can tolerate you, can the next chief minister tolerate you?

You are indeed very smart, but there are a few people in this court who are not smart.

Do you really want to stand up to so many smart people?

Let’s not talk about whether it can be done or not. At the very least, are you tired? "

The chief envoy may have drank too much.

It may also be that the Liu family was interrogated today, and I didn't know what I heard, and I was inspired by it.

What he said was very sincere.

It's not as grand as it was when we first met.

The so-called sincerity is nirvana.

Most people would feel grateful at this time.

When you see the other person confiding in you, you should quickly confide your own feelings as well.

But this is a taboo in the workplace.

Absolutely not.

Lu Yuan was also from Shandong before he traveled through time.

Regarding this matter, you are right to listen to the Shandong people.

Therefore, even though I am grateful to the Chief Envoy for speaking so sincerely now, I still want to keep one point in mind:

"But you have seen what we are going to do.

You must have a trump card in your hand to protect yourself.

If I lose even this weapon, I am afraid I will be ravaged by others in the future. "

If you encounter something like this in the future, if you don't have a sword in your hand, what should you do?

Isn’t this just nonsense?

Look at Nawu Shilan, is it miserable now?

How were you deceived before?

"Oh, as long as you give up nuclear weapons, we will protect you~"

"Oh, as long as you don't develop nuclear weapons, we will make friends with you~"

Familiar or not?

Therefore, this thing cannot be given up no matter what.

The chief envoy nodded and said:

"So, we want you to come in.

Don't blame us for this, we are really here to help you.

I think you can understand why the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. "

Regarding this matter, Lu Yuan was really a bit resentful of the Chief Envoy before.

You said we are all a family.

I had so many nice things to say before.

Are you annoyed that you still have to do this or that?

But the chief envoy was so sincere, and for a while, Lu Yuan didn't feel so angry anymore.

Of course, the most important thing was that Lu Yuan figured it out himself.

Then Lu Yuan raised his glass and said:

"We respect you."

The chief envoy was also very considerate and raised his glass as well.

For Lu Yuan.

This chief envoy is really optimistic.

It can even be said that he cherishes his talent.

The officialdom is complicated and full of intrigues.

But this doesn't mean it's just intrigue.

As the chief envoy of a province, he also has a pure heart that wants to serve the country and the people.

What Lu Yuan did in Taining City was really exaggerated.

Just such a short month.

Look at how many people were fed in that factory! !

This factory will benefit not only Taining City, but also the seven or eight surrounding counties.

It provides countless jobs that can keep people fed.

With such ability, he, the chief minister, saw it in his eyes, so how could he not cherish his talent?

It is a pity that he, the chief envoy, will not be able to stay here for a few more years.

If he had discovered it earlier, he might have been able to support it on his own.

In the past few years, the province has changed drastically.

However, it's not too late.

I still have a few years left here, so I fully support it.

Thinking about Lu Yuan's intelligence, a few years would be enough to turn a province upside down.

After the two took a sip.

The chief envoy then said leisurely:

"The other thing is, we don't know why you don't want to be an official.

Of course, you have your reasons.

It's just that you have such ability to benefit the people of a certain area. Wouldn't it be nice to leave your name in history in the future? "

The chief minister had been thinking about this for a whole day and still couldn't figure it out.

Today we asked Lu Yuan to replace the Tainingcheng County Magistrate.

The chief envoy thought that Lu Yuan would be extremely happy.

After all, this is an official!

You, Lu Yuan, don’t need to pass the exam. We strongly recommend you to take the exam directly.

And in your twenties, it’s a time of high spirits.

Why don't you take it seriously?

This is really weird.

Regarding the chief envoy's words, Lu Yuan felt helpless.

The current emperor must be Li Shimin.

Oh no.

Let’s not say it’s good, let’s say it’s Liu Chan.

Lu Yuan really wants to be an official!

But the current emperor is Lao Zhu!

Lu Yuan is not saying that Lao Zhu is not good.

As a commoner, Lao Zhu is very good.

He even said that if Queen Ma had not died early, Zhu Biao would not have died early.

In fact, being an official for Lao Zhu is not bad at all.

After all, the next emperor is Zhu Biao!

But what a pity.

It’s hard to calm down!

No move!

Who made our mark disappear?

God’s will is playing tricks on people!

Therefore, I am half puzzled and half persuaded by the chief minister's words.

Lu Yuan still said directly:

"Since you mentioned this, let's tell the truth.

We really don’t want to be this official.

But what you just said makes sense, so I’ll take the job.

However, we have something to discuss in advance.

We don't have any big ambitions. We just want our wife and children to be on the hot bed, and we just want to guard our own little piece of land.

Without Taining City, we can’t even sleep well.

Don't even think about helping me or promoting me in the future, we really don't need it. "

At Lu Yuan's words, the chief envoy took a breath of cold air.

He looked at Lu Yuan in astonishment.

Is this guy a genius or a fool?
