Plane of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 179 I am rich and rich

The convoy left Xiongzhou City.

On the carriage, the two sturdy servants turned their heads and said to Mr. Mei, "Bring the title deed."

Mr. Mei didn't dare to neglect, and quickly took out the wooden box from his arms and handed it over.

One of the strong servants took the wooden box, opened the land deed and checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he took out another document and asked Mei Youren to sign it with his fingerprints, put the two documents together, put them back into the wooden box and put them in his pocket inside.

The brawny man said: "You did a good job this time. This matter must be completely kept secret. In the future, if anyone asks, you can't leak it. The agreed reward of 50 guan will be put in the car. You don't want to stay in Dayuan City, go to Somewhere else."

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "I'm originally from the rivers and lakes, so I naturally know the rules, and I will keep my mouth shut when I get paid. With this money, I just happened to go to the south of the Yangtze River. It's better than being stuck in the bitter cold place here." .”

Xu Tongjuan hurried to the Department of Accounting, but he didn't see the rich businessman who bought the land. The official of the Department of Accounting smiled and said to Xu Qing: "My lord, I really didn't expect that all the work will be sold in a short time, and the other party has no money." The counter-offer is real gold and silver, a total of [-] guan."

Xu Qing was startled, and when he entered the room, he saw a row of large boxes neatly arranged in the hall, including four silver boxes and a dozen or so copper money boxes, all of which were now open with the lids open, shining brightly there.

Xu Qing's breathing was a little short.

At this moment, he is very excited, because with this money, Xiongzhou can help those victims, get through this year without any trouble, buy food, and do many things.

"Have you figured it out?" Xu Qing asked excitedly.

"It's all counted, and there's a lot of money." The pawn said.

"Okay, put these coins into the treasury and keep them under strict supervision. There must be no mistakes. I will report the good news to the magistrate."

Xu Qing came to the magistrate's yamen, and when he saw Qin Guan, his face was still excited, and he said: "My lord, I really didn't expect that all those lands were sold. Today, a high-ranking customer came and sold all the land in one go. I bought all of them, a total of more than 8 guan, which solved the predicament of Xiongzhou."

Qin Guan smiled slightly after hearing this: "This is a good thing. Now we have money to do things. Since you are here, let's discuss how to use the money."

Seeing that Qin Guan was not very excited, Xu Qing was a little surprised, but after hearing what Qin Guan said, he said, "I don't know what your lord thinks."

Qin Guandao: "I do have some ideas. I think it may not be a good way for these refugees to directly send them money and food to return to their hometowns. Since the imperial court has methods of building roads and canals and recruiting troops, we will continue to use them."

"My idea is to select a group of young men from these refugees to join the Xiang army, and the remaining middle-aged men can be used as laborers. These people basically belong to one family, and their income can naturally support their families. It belongs to the old, the weak, women and children, we are doing relief, you see how good this is.”

Xu Qing thought for a while and said, "My lord's method is feasible."

It is really not a good way to send money to those refugees. It is inevitable that there will be problems of one kind or another. It is better for the government to manage it directly.

Moreover, the current Xiang army is all veterans, and it can be said that they have almost no combat effectiveness. They can only provide some assistance during wartime, and just carry food and grass. It is better to take the opportunity to recruit a group of young men.

I didn't recruit before because I couldn't afford it, but now I have money and I can do everything easily.

"My lord, in this way, we urgently need a large amount of food now. We can no longer let people drink porridge, and we need to prepare some houses to accommodate those people." Xu Qing said.

"Of course you can, but the price of grain in Xiongzhou is too high now. Go and talk to those grain merchants. If the price can be lowered to be similar to the price in Dayuan City, we will buy a lot."

Xu Qing left quickly, and came back in the evening with a look of anger on his face.

"My lord, those grain merchants are all gangsters. They cannibalize people without spitting out their bones. They cling to the price and don't let go. They still say that the price is lower now. Even if we buy it, the price will not drop. What a bunch of people." asshole."

Qin Guan narrowed his eyes, it seems that the King of Xiong'an County is really powerful in this Xiongzhou, manipulating the price of grain, even the grain merchants who come to the prefect's yamen dare not give face.

Qin Guan sneered: "We are only 200 miles away from Dayuan City. At worst, we will send people to Dayuan City to buy them. These little tricks can still stump us."

"Yes, let's go to Dayuan City to buy grain." Xu Qing also said angrily.

If the food in Xiongzhou is distributed in the current mode, it can last for half a month, which is enough time to buy food in Dayuan City.

Early the next morning, the Xiongzhou grain purchase convoy set off. There were hundreds of large carts. Two Xiongzhou pawns were in charge of purchasing grain. Responsible for transport and escort work.

Thinking about it, Qin Guan asked the two brothers Xiong Daxiong to follow him.

The purchase of grain in Xiongzhou went smoothly. Although the king of Xiongan County overshadowed the sky in Xiongzhou, he could not affect Dayuan City. A few days later, the grain purchase team began to return.

On the official road, hundreds of carts were full of food, a total of [-] shi of food, enough to feed [-] refugees for half a month.

And this is just food for emergency use. Xiongzhou is rich now, and has already ordered a large amount of grain from the grain merchants in Dayuan City. When the time comes, the grain merchants will transport them to Xiongzhou one after another. By then, Xiongzhou will not be short of food. .

As long as you have money, these are easy to solve.

At the same time, Qin Guan also wrote a letter to Zheng Da, telling him that if the Zheng family has a grain sales business in the Northland, he can contact him, whoever buys is not buying, why not take care of his friends.

The convoy moved forward slowly, and Xiong Daxiong Er and Hu Yuanfa walked side by side at the front of the team. Due to the slow speed of the ox cart, the three of them also swayed on horseback, chatting casually.

Now Xiong Da Xiong Er has an official position and is also a guerrilla general of the Xiongzhou Xiang Army, which can be regarded as a step up to the sky.

Hu Yuanfa was also a rough man with a big beard and a rough voice. After looking at the weapons hung on the horses by Xiong Daxiong and Er Er, Hu Yuanfa said: "I think the two brothers have good martial arts skills. , but they are all generals, Brother Xiong Ping's mace weighs 36 catties, I can't play with it, and my horse-cutting sword weighs only [-] catties."

Xiong Erdao: "Mine is nothing, but the young master is powerful. His Overlord Spear weighs 68 catties, and I can't even play it a few times."

Hu Yuanfa naturally knew who the young master in Xiong Er's mouth was, and he whispered: "Master Zhifu really descended from the stars, Wen Neng won the first prize in the examination, and Wu Neng wielded a 68-jin gun. The two brothers, Xiongzhou are now rumored to be in this official that day. You know, the magistrate shot the eight-horse chariot of the king of Xiongan County and flew out, but it is true."
