The Heroes of Gulong: Great Chefs from Past to Present

Chapter 811: People's Interests
"The customs and practices in the South are very different from those in the North."

"So the principles of closeness and distance, nobility and inferiority are also different from those in the North."

"If you want to make a name for yourself in the north, you must buy more land, farm and study, pass down your family tradition, and eventually pass the imperial examination to become a nobleman."

"But the price of land is too high, and most of it is owned by the rich. Not to mention whether you have the money to buy it, even if you buy it, you can only get two or three acres, barely enough to make a living."

In the private room, Jiang Yulang was surrounded by the crowd and sat in the middle seat, his eyes were bright and his speech was eloquent.

After Jiang Yulang said a few words, everyone became dejected, and one of them even continued.

"Indeed, even if we are ordinary people with a little money, we can't even afford to buy a square meter of land outside the city."

"And the imperial court can just casually issue a decree to give away the land we have spent our entire life's savings to others. If they can give us a little bit of money, it's all because of the emperor's wisdom, alas."

When the leader heard the complaint, he interrupted.

"Okay, stop feeling sorry for yourself. In this world, it's good enough to be able to live well."

After calming everyone down, the leader looked at Jiang Yulang, nodded and smiled.

"My brothers don't have much vision, so don't let your interest be disturbed, Brother Jiang."

Jiang Yulang didn't care and just nodded and asked.

"In the north, land is passed down from generation to generation, but in the south, land is already shared by all. In theory, it can only be leased, not bought or sold."

The leader nodded: "In order to establish this rule, the Dragon God killed many people."

Jiang Yulang said with a sad face: "After all, this is the land that our ancestors fought for for generations, and there will always be people who are unwilling to give it up."

"The land is not important. What is important is the great achievements of our ancestors. From now on, they will no longer exist."

Everyone looked at Jiang Yulang's expression, looked at each other, and nodded in agreement.

The leader interrupted, "Throughout history, the rules of this world have always been decided by the strong."

"Dragon God's martial arts are the best in the world, and his methods are also clean and efficient."

"He is determined to take back the land. There is no need for small people like us to risk our lives to fight for it."

"Even if someone wants to fight to the death, it is the business of the family with the vast land."

"Brother Jiang, you should talk to them about how to make money together."

Jiang Yulang's expression brightened up and he looked at everyone with a smile again.

“Land in the South cannot be bought or sold, it can only be leased.”

"Now the north and south are united. Although the Dragon God has not really taken action yet, the north will soon."

Everyone nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the current land price is getting lower and lower, but who dares to buy it recklessly, after all."

"If the Dragon God takes back his words, we will have wasted our money in vain."

Jiang Yulang glanced at the leader, then shook his head and smiled.

"You are wrong in saying this."

Everyone looked at each other and said the same thing.

"Wish to hear its good fortune."

Jiang Yulang said with admiration: "The Dragon God took over the land because he wanted to control the price of food and prevent people from working hard every day but suffering from hunger and cold."

"As long as it does not involve food, salt, and cloth, which are the things that the people rely on for survival, the Dragon God does not mind us seeking wealth and glory, and even encourages us."

Jiang Yulang's voice was low, and his tone became more intriguing.

"The land that produces grain is related to the survival of the people. Unless the people in the market want to be farmers, they must not buy it."

"Even if you buy it, it will inevitably be shared in the future, and then you will lose both your money and your life."

"But as long as the shops and houses in the city are not affected by the fluctuation of food prices, you can buy them at a great price."

Everyone's eyes lit up and asked, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Yulang: "Of course, we pool our money together and take advantage of the fact that news from the capital is difficult to come by, so we can buy the best place in the city together."

Everyone was puzzled: "Will the Dragon God not take back these lands?"

Jiang Yulang raised his eyebrows: "Who will you give it to?"

"The south is much more prosperous than the north. How many people are willing to come to the north and suffer the bitter cold?"

"For things like houses and shops to be valuable, people have to flock to buy them."

Everyone lowered their heads in thought, then looked up and said.

"That's true, but the benefits won't be high, right?" Jiang Yulang smiled, "That's the next question."

As he raised his head and looked around, his eyes flickered and his tone was inexplicable.

"Jiang has already shown his sincerity. The following news can only be heard by those who trust Jiang and are willing to contribute."

"As for those who are hesitant and afraid of carrying water with a bamboo basket, just leave on your own."

Hearing Jiang Yulang start to act pretentiously, everyone looked towards the leader, but the leader's eyes flashed and he spoke coldly.

"It's just a gamble of wealth and glory with your life and property."

"If you are willing, stay."

"If you don't want to, go home."

Everyone looked at each other, but no one stood up and left.
Even if there is no fighting during the change of dynasties, in a turbulent world, the strength of one person cannot compare to the combined strength of many people.

Jiang Yulang said with satisfaction: "It seems that all of you heroes are courageous people."

The leader said: "You are all people who live with your head hanging on your waist. If you don't have courage, you can't follow me."

Jiang Yulang nodded: "Since you don't want to leave, I will continue."

Everyone looked nervous, but nodded.

Jiang Yulang: "The north is unified, but the people are suffering from hunger and cold."

"The Dragon God's compassion benefits all living beings, regardless of north or south, so it will definitely benefit the North."

"Jiang has no other talents. The only thing worth mentioning is that I witnessed with my own eyes how the Dragon God transformed the human world in my early years."

As the topic became more in-depth, Jiang Yulang also held up three fingers and said with a proud look in his eyes.

"Establish a business, build a factory, and develop commerce."

"Eat and wear clothes. When you are full, you need to wear clothes."

"Garment production requires factories, which gather workers. Once workers have money and can ensure adequate food and clothing, they will be willing to spend money."

"By then, merchants from all over the country will flock here, but they will need shops and houses to do business."

"So, as long as we know where the garment factory will be built, you and I can make plans in advance while prices are low. Once the factory is built, we can make a lot of money."

"At that time, let alone how much profit we can get by buying low and selling high, just collecting rent from the land will be enough to make us rich for a lifetime."

"It can even last for generations."

When everyone heard this, the light in their eyes could hardly be concealed.
But soon someone reacted and frowned.

"I'm afraid it's not easy to find out such secret information."

Jiang Yulang served tea and water with a smile on his face and a mysterious tone.

"Jiang can only say, I already know the location of the factory, but where does the information come from?"

"It cannot be known to outsiders."

Everyone looked at each other. It seemed that the source of this information was this person's biggest trump card.

Everyone looked at the leader.

There was not much problem with Jiang Yulang's words. The biggest problem was whether they could trust this guy with unknown origins.
If you get cheated, you will lose both your money and your life.

"boom!"

Just as everyone was thinking about it, the tightly closed door was kicked open by someone, and several yamen runners appeared outside the door.

The leader was not a yamen runner, but a strong young man dressed in knight's clothes.

The sturdy young man's eyebrows exploded, and he looked towards the room with hatred, cursing.

"Who is Jiang Yulang? Get out here with me right now."

"A bunch of roe deer. I'm so busy that I have no time to rest. What crime should I care about?"

As if he had forgotten something, the sturdy young man looked behind him, and a man who looked like a legal advisor quickly reminded him.

"Master Ma, this is called illegal fundraising."

The sturdy man surnamed Ma clenched his fists and said with a firm look in his eyes.

“Yes, illegal fundraising!”

"You are so bold to raise funds illegally in the territory of the Qinglong Society!"
