Chapter 821 The Significance of Population

Chapter 851

Bai Kou reached an agreement with his uncle Tang Lin, and had lunch at Tang's house at noon, and asked Tang Lin to tell his family about this. He was on a long business trip, and his family had to cover him.

At the same time, Gu Yun and Shi Tianmin were also chatting with him while having a drink in the restaurant, asking him to produce a handwritten letter that could prove his identity, so that their people could avoid the prince's eyes and ears in Dacheng Mansion so that they could handle affairs.

Shi Tianmin was also quite moved when he heard this. In order to find a way out, the victims in the disaster area would often sell themselves at a low price whenever they had the chance. The large vacant land on the farm really needs enough manpower to take care of it. You can save a lot of money on fees.

"Based on our land, the initial manpower needed is about 2000 people, which is equivalent to the population of a Hedong village." Shi Tianmin said.

"Yeah, the main cost is the travel expenses and board and lodging expenses of sending them from the disaster area to our farm, but buying them is cheap, as long as we cooperate with Dacheng Prefecture and let them lower the price, maybe one strong laborer can pay for two steamed buns I am willing to sell myself." Gu Yun had a sinister smile on his face.

Shi Tianmin burst into joy, and gave Gu Yun a thumbs up.

"It's really you, seize every opportunity for your own benefit."

"How can this be called self-interest? I am committed to being a kind person who is willing to do good. I see that the victims in the disaster area are pitiful and give them a way to survive. Do you think I am kind?"

"Goodness, true kindness, Gu Dashan is none other than you." Shi Tianmin held back his smile, and poured wine for the two of them, "But if we want to get so many people, we still have to take care of Dacheng Mansion. Only those who have the sweetness are willing." To run errands for you, if you have to pay for it, it is not up to our three major shareholders, but all shareholders must agree to it."

"Then, let's convene shareholders to discuss this matter first. If everyone agrees, we will immediately prepare the team to set off. As for the money, our major shareholders will pay for it first, and we will settle accounts after this matter is over."

"That's fine. Anyway, we don't know how much this trip will cost. The three of us will go out first. It's better than asking everyone to contribute money. The distance between the two places is very long. It’s better for people to carry enough money with them at one time.”

"Well, then let's eat quickly and go back and ask someone to discuss the matter."

At that moment, the two of them stopped talking, just buried their heads in eating, swept away the food on the table like a storm, and left with the bill.

Back at the government school, taking advantage of the opportunity that everyone was still in class in the afternoon, they all handed over their words, and we went to the teahouse to discuss matters together after school.

Among all the shareholders, Wei Qian, Gu Xu, and Gu Hui could not notify immediately. Everyone knew that Wei Qian and Gu Hui would be fine, but Gu Yun and Gu Jing couldn't guarantee Gu Xu, especially when Gu Yun knew Sister-in-law Gan’s money is tight. Although Gu Xu has been reused by a sage now, and the flatterers are piled up together, which has given Gu Xu extra income, not much of this money can fall into the hands of the young couple, and most of it is taken away by the second aunt. The euphemistic name is counted as brother and sister-in-law to make dowry for sister.

The palace chief was not here, so he asked his wife for leave on the grounds that he was going to prepare for the first polo match. In fact, he contacted the crown prince to go down, so now it's all up to Gu Yun to talk nonsense in a serious manner, but what he said is all In fact, the large open space of the farm does require a lot of labor, and there must be refugees in the disaster area. Since the crown prince wants to provide disaster relief, he might as well follow behind to pick up some sweets. As for the fact that Dacheng Mansion is still Zhao Xianfei's mother's land, I didn't tell everyone. Gu Yun As long as Shi Tianmin and Shi Tianmin know it well.

These buddies were told by Gu Yun that they were all focused on the labor force, and they couldn't think of the relationship between Dacheng Mansion and Concubine Zhao Xian for a moment, and they had to go home and talk to their elders before they could come back to it.

For a moment, everyone nodded in agreement, and went home to discuss with their parents. As for Gu Xu, he could only accept the ending of the minority obeying the majority.

Gu Yun returned home and Bai Kou exchanged the harvest of the two of them for the day, and then wrote a note and passed it to Gu Xu and his wife through Gan's dowry cook in the East Kitchen, simply telling them to prepare the money, The farm will welcome thousands of strong laborers in the next few months. Their food, clothing, housing and transportation alone are not a small number, not counting the additional funds that so many people need to invest in production. Expenses are shared among all shareholders in proportion to their shareholding.

Gan naturally reached out to ask her husband for money. If her mother-in-law didn't take away Gu Xu's extra income, the couple's money wouldn't be as tight as ever. The mother-in-law has been hinting that she, her daughter-in-law, should give her a good face these two days. , just counting the love my sister-in-law gave to my sister-in-law.

Gu Chan has already decided to marry into the clan, and a pair of make-up looks must be inlaid with treasures, so Gan just dumped this burden on her husband, and then received a note from Gu Yun asking for money, and the couple chatted Inevitably, disputes arose over money.

The servants have long been used to it and retreated one after another. Grandpa and grandma always quarrel over money. They see it and feel uncomfortable, but the old lady is a mother-in-law, so who can say anything about her.

After wandering outside for a day, the palace chief immediately came to Tianshuifang and asked the servants of Duke Ye's mansion to send a message to invite Gu Yun and Bai Kou to his house for dinner.

In just one stick of incense, Gu Yun and Bai Kou sat in the old place where Prince Cheng's mansion entertained guests. As usual, not long after they sat down, the servants of the palace began to serve wine and food, and then everyone withdrew, and the palace chief came in to greet him The two ate and drank, and by the way, the three of them exchanged today's harvest.

It was not in vain for Gong Changji to be outside this day. His Royal Highness simply listened to the plan with eyes shining, and without hesitation, he readily agreed to provide necessary cover for the follow-up lurkers, but further discussions are needed on how to do it in detail. The disaster relief team didn't leave so soon, so he could stay in the capital for a few more days.

The three of them discussed it carefully, and decided to send people to Dacheng Mansion to buy servants. Shi Tianmin's people were the leader, and Gu Yun and Gong Changji's people were the assistants. They did this under the banner of Shi Tianmin, the eldest princess's son. , the nephew of Prince Yu, if he wants to buy Liang as a slave at a low price, the influential circle in Dacheng Mansion will definitely cooperate with him willingly.

"The farm needs the labor of thousands of people. As long as the money can support it, we can buy as many people as possible." Bai Kou stood up and sifted wine for the three of them.

"I've already told Shi Tianmin that we need to buy about 2000 people, which is almost equivalent to the population of Hedong Village." Gu Yun said.

"Both men and women, gender balance, let them reproduce here." Bai Kou put down the jug, sat down and said.

"It's really far away." Gong Changji smiled.

"They are all witnesses to the real situation in Dacheng Mansion."

Bai Kou glanced over at Shizi and King Cheng, revealing a cunning and cunning expression.

Gu Yun and the palace chief laughed together and understood.
