Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 171 The Despicable Big Capitalist Wang Hou

The Central Plains, the center of Chinese civilization, is really poor in Wang Hou's eyes. Indeed, the terrain is flat and stretches as far as the eye can see, but there is nothing but fields!Iron mines, coal mines, and kaolin mines are still imported from Xudu, which is hundreds of miles away.

Fortunately, in this war, Wang Hou repaired this strategic highway by taking advantage of the [-] strong labor force on hand without paying money, and now it is cheaper for himself.

In the past in Xudu, the slag used in ironmaking was just thrown away, but now, it costs hundreds of dollars a stone for Wang Hou to copy. Although he felt sour, Wang Hou still had to give a part of the 70 guan order to him. He bought cement workshops run by several families in Yingchuan, and recruited a group of trilogy to operate the coal mines and iron mines on Funiu Mountain. Now he has more than 2000 workers specializing in smelting and mining on the mountain.

Needless to say, the way of raising funds is not bad. Originally, Wang Hou thought that all the materials for autumn plowing and winter wheat would come from Xudu, but the Guangling Chen family and Taishan Zang family who participated in the investment came from The Yellow River transported him 2 cattle and more than 1 sets of farm tools. What was even more unexpected was that the Gao family from Jizhou's aristocratic family brought him more than [-] shi of winter wheat seeds.

The Gao family is a peculiar family in Jizhou, among which Gao Gan, the contemporary patriarch, is Yuan Shao's son-in-law!But Gao Lan, who was also from the Gao family in Jizhou, surrendered to Cao Cao. Now Gao Ping, a big businessman of the Gao family in Puyang, is actively investing in Wang Hou's Dongjun Agricultural Reclamation Company. Note up.

200 million yuan of funds and materials were gathered in Zhongmou on August [-]th. At the same time, Wang Hou is also doing his best to mobilize human resources.

In front of the small military camp in Zhongmou County, a white cloth banner was stretched greatly on two trees, with the thickest brush on it, and several large characters were written heavily: production!labor!Welcome to a better tomorrow!It doesn't matter whether the mostly illiterate captives below can understand it.

Below, are more than 4000 Yuan Shaojun prisoners.

Send away all the Yuan Jun officers, and then look for those who are pro-Cao among the captives, or at least keep them neutral and cultivate them, and hand over the distribution of food and labor tasks to them. It's taking shape!Now, it's time for them to come in handy!

In order to show kindness, this Wang Hou didn’t wear any armor on purpose, but wore plainclothes robes on purpose. People really need to exercise. In the past, he was nervous when he went on stage to speak to a dozen people. Now there are more than 5000 people. But he doesn't care anymore.

He didn't mind flicking his big sleeves and walked forward, and adjusted the three giant horns specially built in front of him like a tuba. He cleared his throat heavily while a group of captives sat on a small bench and looked around curiously. .

"Listen up, brothers below! Three days later, you will be assigned to Dongjun, south of the Yellow River, and enter the farm in groups to work!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire captive crowd couldn't help commotion. Some people showed excitement, as if they had seized the opportunity to escape, while others drooped their heads in frustration. Going to the fields is hard work, and they didn't have the courage to escape. It's really life Various states.

But regardless of what was going on, Wang Hou continued to give a hasty speech, chatting with them in plain language.

"We are not a family either! That's why I, Wang Hou, don't talk to you about loyalty and righteousness. I want you to stay in Dongjun as much as possible to work for me. The only thing you can get is the land. One person two Ten acres of Yongye farmland and [-] acres of job farmland, Yongye farmland is planted for you by Yonggu, and worker farmland is planted by you for me! What nonsense do you have to say!"

You have to find a caretaker for everything. Seeing that the guy who was lurking in the group of captives raised his hand after looking for it long ago, Wang Hou deliberately raised his chin in an impatient look, feeling a little flattered. The guy stood up hastily. , a bit stuttering and struggling to recite the lines.

"Wang Shijun, we...we are not mules! One hundred acres of land! We are not trying to exhaust us to death!"

"Extensive farming, the Niu Guan's family is out, you just need to open the furrows and sprinkle the seeds in, you don't have to plant them all, and in the early summer, you can harvest the wheat again, and even if there are not enough people at the harvest time, you can hire people! If you can't do this, you are really inferior to animals!"

In fact, farming is not so simple, but listening to Wang Hou's easy explanation, I couldn't help it, the prisoners burst into laughter, and the boy who raised his hand to ask a question also sat back with a flushed face.

"Of course, I know that your hometown is in Hebei, and twenty acres of Yongye land may not be enough to hold your heart, so I will add a few chips here! First of all, your hometown is Hebei, and Jizhou rebelled. There is a war, if you go back at this time, you will only be drafted into the army! Next spring, you will still not be able to return to your own fields to work!"

"And I can't let you go. All the boats and boats on the Yellow River for hundreds of miles have been collected in one pile, and on the north bank of the Yellow River, General Zhang Liao's cavalry has been ordered to kill without mercy! Once you escape to the north , kill on the spot!"

"The third point is hope! It's not about letting you work endlessly, three years! After three years, if you want to leave me, you can leave as you please, and your [-] acres of Yongye farmland, the grain harvested within three years will belong to you You can bring food, you can take the money from selling the food, and bring back any wealth you have created! I, Wang Hou, once again swear in the name of my ancestors that if I don’t let you go free after three years, I will not enter the grave of my ancestors after my death !Never be reborn!"

"Would you like to risk being killed and flee back to continue serving as a soldier, or go back home after three years of hard work? You decide for yourself, which one is right for you!"

This oath made by Wang Houfa is extremely vicious in contemporary times!Seeing his stern face and serious appearance, the group of captives below really buzzed and started talking about it.

To be honest, one person cultivates one hundred mu of land, even if there are cattle, extensive farming is hard enough, and people are really used as livestock. It is indeed a temptation, even if some small landlords may be assigned to their own names, they do not have twenty acres of land.

And with Wang Hou's venomous promise to set them free for three years!With hope, people have hope of struggle!
It's better than drowning in the Yellow River, or fleeing to be hacked by the cavalry!
It was the nurse who had an effect again. Among the crowd, a tall man with a yellow face was the first to stand up and shouted loudly.

"Okay, Wang Shijun, I believe that Zhang Yong of the county believes in you, and I will work for these three years!"

"I, Li Lei of Zheng County, also believe in you, and I have been working for these three years too!"

"And I, Han Meimei from Huaxiang, also believe in you!"

"And I……"

The fortress is always breached from the inside. With the "help" of the leader, more people have made up their minds, shouting one after another, and watching the boiling scene below, the smile on Wang Hou's face is getting bigger and bigger. Strong, but in his eyes, there was a sense of pity and self-deprecation, and he nodded slightly self-deprecating.

What corporate culture was mentioned to him at the beginning, what was the psychology of the small executive about the company's development prospects, now he has experienced it vividly.Moreover, without paying a penny, he cheated into the labor force of [-] strong men, he is even more evil than those evil bosses!
But thinking in his heart, on the face, Wang Hou suddenly stood up again, raised his fist high, and shouted.

"In order to have enough food! To catch up with the carriage! To return home with good clothes! Struggle!!!"
