A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 245

Cosmopolitan Group Headquarters
"President, a telegram from the Governor of Cochin."

Wang Lidong took the telegram and read it carefully.

There is quite a lot of content, but most of the front is full of nonsense.

This Lao Cai has contracted this stinky disease since some time ago.

Thinking of the various documents within the group recently, most of them have this trend.

Isn't this bureaucracy, stereotyped writing?Just started, just do this.

"Lin Jian, immediately draft a document, the content of which will be the various internal documents of the company in the future, empty words are not allowed, and nothing is allowed. You can only use vernacular, simply and clearly explain the matter clearly."

The purpose of sending this telegram is to ask him for someone.

The entire Cochin chief envoy is severely short of people.

Whether public officials or ordinary people, there is a shortage.

Thinking of the telegram sent by Zhao Ligong, the governor of Dongying yesterday, it is the same, important person.

Only after occupying two small countries, there was a large-scale shortage of manpower.

The pace of expansion can only be slowed down.

Otherwise, no matter how much land is laid down, it will be a castle in the air, and over time, it will definitely be out of control.

Yujia Village, Xinghua, Fujian Province

The head of the village pushed open the broken door of the thatched house, and shouted into the house:

"Fat, Fat."

A skinny young man in his early thirties who looked like a bamboo pole came out of the side room in a daze.Seeing that it was my uncle, I was a little curious. Usually, this uncle never looked at me when he saw me. How could he come to the door on his own initiative today.

"Second Uncle, what's the matter?"

Yu Lichang said bluntly:

"Fat, do you want a wife?"

Ah Fei blinked his sesame eyes:
"Second Uncle, don't be ridiculous. As far as my family is concerned, which girl would like it?"

Yu Lichang glanced outside the door, then whispered:

"Your father can be regarded as my good brother, but it's a pity that he left too early, which made your mother suffer. Now that she's gone too, you're the only one left. Second uncle doesn't want your family to have no descendants.

Now there is a good opportunity, as long as you agree, you can send a daughter-in-law for free. "

When Ah Fei heard that he was able to marry a wife, his breathing was a little short, and he said excitedly:

"Second uncle, what do you want me to do?"

"Does Jilongshan know?"

Ah Fei nodded fiercely, of course he knew.A few years ago, he came to recruit people and promised that as long as he came to the island, each person would give away [-] acres of land for free. He was reluctant to part with the two acres of fertile land at home, otherwise he would be a small landlord now.

It is said that every mu of land in Jilongshan can harvest ten shi of rice every year, and the total tax paid is only one shi, and the rest is all for oneself.

Every time he thought of this, he would slap himself hard.

"Isn't Jilongshan fully recruited?"

Yu Lijia said:

"I heard that a new island has been developed, and now it's recruiting people. Not only will it give away [-] acres of land and half a year's rations, but it doesn't matter if you have a wife or not, you will get one for free when you arrive, but that's it."

Ah Fei's saliva almost overflowed when he heard it:

"Second Uncle, but what?"

"I heard that the woman who sent it is not from our Ming Dynasty, but from a Japanese woman or Annan."

I thought it was missing arms and legs, but I didn't expect it to be just a small problem.

"It's not a problem. I've seen a Japanese woman, but she's a little short, as long as she can use it, I don't mind it. Second uncle, that's the quota."

The next day, Yu Lichang looked at the land deeds for the two acres of land in his hand, and was very proud. He finally got the two acres of fertile land that he had been coveting for a long time.

That silly boy is really fooling.

Within a few days, the news that Jilongshan gave out daughter-in-laws for free spread throughout Fujian Province and neighboring Jiangxi Province.

Scratching a man, regardless of whether he has a wife or no daughter-in-law, makes his heart itchy.

Southern Zhili Wei Guogong Mansion

Seeing the big housekeeper hurriedly approaching, Xu Pengju was a little annoyed.

I've told you beforehand, don't bother him if it's not a big deal.

Seeing that the father-in-law was full of displeasure, Steward Xu hurriedly nodded and bowed down to explain:

"My lord, the big shopkeeper of China Resources Commercial Company came to visit and said that there is a big deal."

When he heard about China Resources Commercial Company, Wei Guogong recalled what happened two years ago.

At that time, the nobles of Nanzhili wanted to swallow the property under Wang Lidong's name.

I remember that a few nobles who were particularly loud at that time became paralyzed inexplicably on the same day.

Then Wang Lidong appeared in Nanzhili.

Then they talked about business on a house-to-house basis. The time was in the middle of the night, and the place was in the bedroom of each head of the family.

Some were unconvinced and those who did it made the whole family paralyzed.

So everyone is honest.

Seeing that the Duke was about to leave, Xinna's concubine reluctantly spoke out to persuade him to stay:
"Grandpa, it's not a deal."

"Hua Rui, master, I will come back as soon as I go, wait for me obediently."

Seeing Wei Guogong, the big shopkeeper of China Resources Commercial Co., got up and saluted:
"I've met Wei Guogong, so I take the liberty to disturb you."

Xu Pengju only nodded slightly, and then sat on the main seat with PG.

After the big shopkeeper said a few polite words, he explained the purpose of today's visit.

Although Xu Pengju is an idiot, he is very greedy for money. When he heard that two Japanese slaves were exchanged for a Ming tenant farmer, he began to calculate in his heart.

As a big landlord in Nanzhili, there are not five thousand tenant farmers, but three thousand.

But if he really wants to change them all, then who will plant the land for him.

The farming skills of the Japanese slaves must not be compared with those of the Ming Dynasty.

It is conceivable that although the Japanese slaves are a little short, if they are well trained, they can be sold for a good price.

Two for one, good deal.

"Only tenant farmers? Can the guards do it?"

The treasurer of China Resources said:

"It's best to be a tenant farmer, but people with able-bodied hands and feet can barely do it."

"How many Japanese slaves are there in your business company?"

The shopkeeper held out a palm:
"Fifty thousand, if the Duke thinks it's too little, the little old man can draw some more."

I thought it was five thousand, but I didn't expect there to be so much.

Big business.

Xu Pengju's spirit was shaken. If he operated well, fifty thousand Japanese could earn at least one hundred thousand.

And according to the tone of the big shopkeeper, another 20 yuan will not be a problem.

Could it be that the Four Seas Trading Company robbed the Japanese country, otherwise, where did they get so many Japanese people?

But it has nothing to do with me, making money is the most important thing.

There are so many nobles and landlords in Southern Zhili, if
"Wonu business agency in Nanzhili, I want it."

The shopkeeper showed a Maitreya-like smile and said:
"What price is the father-in-law going to offer?"

Xu Pengju looked at the big housekeeper beside him, and the big housekeeper immediately said:
"Master Liu, I."

Rongcheng Prefect Yamen
Returning to Rongcheng from Jilongshan, Wang Lidong went to the second hall first, and began to process various documents that had been backlogged for more than half a month.

Fortunately, there is now a wireless telegram. If there is an urgent matter, I will send a telegram to ask for his opinion, and it will be carried out first.

Otherwise, Wang Lidong really wouldn't dare to leave for such a long time.

By the time the processing was over, it was past four o'clock in the afternoon.

As soon as he walked into the courtyard of the inner house, he saw his eldest son, Xiaohu, with his two younger brothers and sisters, squatting in the corner with their buttocks up, not knowing what they were doing.

The eldest and the second are two boys, both born to the eldest wife, Yue Lingshan, and the third is a girl, born to the fifth wife, Qu Feiyan.

As for the three junior sisters, they are still too young and need to wait another two years.

He signaled the maidservants around him to be quiet, and quietly walked to the child, it turned out that he was playing with mud.
