The feudal lord is on Taobao every day
Chapter 158 Extortion
Xie Jingan subconsciously agreed to let Cui Tong dismiss him, but then he remembered that these people are the mainstays that will allow him to develop basic industries in the future. Spring plowing is only a few days away from the ox plow. If he dismisses people so casually, he is afraid that he will be avenged. Besides, he still counts on these people to repair the roads in his fief and wait for so long. Day, it's time to see each other.
Thinking about it this way, the words that were about to be spoken suddenly turned around, Xie Jingan ordered Cui Tong to invite people into the flower hall, and went to wash up and change clothes by himself, thinking about what to say later, Shi Shiran entered the flower hall .
Sure enough, all the people sitting in the flower hall were familiar faces who had been here many times, not only Yao Jin, the current head of the Yao family, but also the old Mrs. Chen, who was old but still strong. Because of the relationship between these two families and him, Now he seems to be the leader of merchants and aristocratic families in his fiefdom, and although he may not be able to respond to everyone, his words are quite weighty.
Several people were talking, but when they saw him coming in, they immediately stood up and saluted respectfully. Yao Jin took a step forward and said with some surprise and joy: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Your Highness seems to be getting more energetic. It seems that he has grown a lot taller, and looks more and more dignified. I don’t know what kind of panacea His Highness has taken recently. Can you tell Cao Min, although Cao Min is old and can’t grow any longer, it’s good to replenish his body of."
Although Yao Jin's words came from the bottom of his heart and were very sincere, they were really flattering words. Xie Jingan was quite pleasantly surprised when he heard it. After all, although this body was handsome in appearance and not thin in stature, it was still He's a bit shorter, if he hadn't minded Lin Yan before exchanging his heartfelt love, but now that Lin Yan has grown up, he's growing straight up like a stick, and he's almost as tall as he is, Xie Jingan I got a little depressed.
Lin Yan is better than him in martial arts, stronger than him, not as tall as him now, and he can still hug and bow his head to kiss, but when Lin Yan is taller than him, he has to stand on tiptoe if he wants to kiss again. Does this still have his face as a boyfriend!
What's more, he still wants to practice martial arts well and hug Princess Lin Yan or something. If Lin Yan grows up like this, he doesn't have any talent for martial arts. Does he still have a chance to hug Princess Lin Yan!
Xie Jingan was so busy that he couldn't take care of it, and when he was free to look at Lin Yan, he couldn't help feeling sad, which almost became his heart disease.
Therefore, when Yao Jin said that he had grown taller, Xie Jingan couldn't help feeling elated. Looking at Yao Jin's fat face, he felt more and more pleasing to the eye, and there was a bit of a smile on his face, and asked him happily: "Really?" ? Has this king really grown taller? If you don’t tell me, this king hasn’t realized it yet. When you say that, this king seems to have really grown taller.”
Yao Jinyuan just said a few flattering words casually, but he didn't expect to be right, so he couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and immediately hit the snake with the stick, and said sincerely: "The grass people are stupid, and they never tell lies. Seeing that His Highness seems to have grown taller, that's why he asked this question, His Highness hasn't told the grass people yet, what kind of panacea did His Highness take."
On this topic, the two of them chatted cordially and enthusiastically, not only stunned the merchants from other aristocratic families, but even the old Mrs. Chen was slightly surprised that such a loud and soft fat man looked harmless to humans and animals, Unexpectedly, he was an enemy as cunning as a fox. They thought about the full of flattery before they could say anything, but King Shun asked the fat white man to seduce him with a few words, which was really annoying.
The merchants from the aristocratic families were so angry that they wanted to go out and re-enter the door again. Xie Jingan and Yao Jin had a very happy discussion about a topic, if it wasn't for the servants serving tea and snacks to wake him up, he almost forgot the purpose of agreeing to the meeting with them .
Picking up the teacup to moisten Run's dry throat due to talking too much, and adjusting his expression under the cover of the teacup, Xie Jing'an finally got to the point, nodded slightly and said solemnly: "My king is busy with business, so I can spare some time." There isn't much time, so if you have anything to say, just speak up, and don't waste your time saying polite words."
Didn't that fatty Yao Jin finish all the polite words?How could they have any polite words, the families and merchants couldn't help but slander in their hearts, and looked at King Shun resentfully, then said with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes: "Your Highness is busy with affairs, and the grassroots naturally dare not delay. I want to see His Highness, I want to ask, His Highness said that the grassroots of the Chamber of Commerce have entered, the contract has been signed, and even the money has been raised. Your Highness, when is it appropriate to build the workshop? After all, His Highness let people make it Those novelty things are so sought after by people outside, if the workshop is not built again, I am afraid that the peasants will be torn apart by those noble people."
Xie Jing'an knew why they came here, so he was not surprised when he heard the words, but he still couldn't help but feel a little headache. Seeing that spring plowing was imminent, people were everywhere, and even the most important things like escorting food, grass and military equipment were handled by the old and the weak. And knowing how short he is, how can he find someone to help them build a workshop?
Xie Jingan shook his head, understanding in his heart, but he still looked embarrassed and said on the face: "Everyone is anxious, and this king is naturally anxious, but you also know that this king's land is vast and sparsely populated, and anyone who can use it will be sent out to use it. Well, even the old and the weak in Mozhou City helped the king to escort the food and grass to the border regardless of their frail bodies. There is no spare manpower. According to the king, you might as well wait a few more days and let the king take the spring plowing. How about freeing up manpower to help you build workshops after the work is over?"
Hearing such an answer again, even Yao Jin couldn't help frowning, his face was ugly, they didn't want to embarrass King Shun, it's just that this kind of business is getting richer every day, if they delay for a day, they will earn less One day's money, and in order to be able to enter this chamber of commerce, they built these workshops, and they only had to empty out their family to collect the money. Now they are pointing at the workshops to be built so that they can make things and make money again. Still waiting.
Several people glanced at each other quietly, and in the end Yao Jin, who was closest to Xie Jingan, took the lead and boldly said: "It's a matter of spring plowing, and the grassroots naturally dare not delay. It's just a matter of building a workshop. Can't wait any longer, after all, in order to collect the first-class silver taels that His Highness said, Cao Min almost sold all his family property. For the sake of Your Highness being the leader, I just set aside someone to help give advice. The grassroots didn't dare to bother His Highness, they already found all the masons, and they just waited for His Highness to send someone out. It will break ground."
It's easy to dial a person, but if he agrees so easily, wouldn't his calculations come to nothing?Xie Jingan pretended to be moved by their persuasion, and pondered for a while, but in the end he shook his head in their expectant eyes, and sighed: "Young Master Yao's words are easy to say, if it is true that the king can draw someone out, why should you wait for me?" After such a long time, you have never been a vassal king, and you don’t know how difficult it is to be a vassal king. Seeing that it’s only a few days away from spring plowing, this king doesn’t even have enough cattle to plow the land. It's like a treasure, and I can't even buy it with money. Because of this, I couldn't sleep well for a few days. I wish I could go out and find some more cows. How can I find someone free to help you all? What about the construction workshop?"
Xie Jingan's words were heartfelt, but they heard the ears of everyone, but they all felt bitter. Although they were not smart, they were not stupid either. How could they not understand the meaning behind King Shun's words?This is because it is not enough to collect their money to enter the chamber of commerce, and they are going to make another fortune by changing tricks.
It's just that people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Now that they have boarded the pirate ship, even if they want to make money, they have to hold their noses and hold their breath and continue to follow.
When several people entered the flower hall, their chests were puffed up, and now they were a little downcast. Only the old man Chen was able to hold his breath after seeing too much of the world, and he could even squeeze some smiles on his face, and said in a gentle voice: "Old man As a subject of His Highness's fiefdom, he is supposed to share His Highness's worries. It's fine if he can't help with the matter of farming cattle. Now that it's a matter of raising a finger, how can he see His Highness in trouble and not extend his hand? There are not many fields in the old man's house, and there are not many farming cattle. But this old man remembers that there are still a hundred more, so this old man ordered people to go back and bring the cattle from the village to help His Highness overcome the difficulty of spring plowing, what do you think, Your Highness?"
If someone gave away a cow for nothing, of course that would be great. Xie Jingan could barely hold back the joy in his heart. He glanced at Old Master Chen with relief, and praised: "Old Master Chen really has his heart for this king. With the help of Old Master Chen, although it is not possible to It is easier than before to get through the difficulties completely, and this king can barely spare a man, but after all, this king has few people under his command, and that person can only borrow old Mrs. Chen for a few days. Once the workshop is completed, he will Come back immediately to do business for the king."
Of course, Mrs. Chen didn't expect Xie Jingan to relax because it was just some farming cattle. He couldn't help being overjoyed, and immediately put the matter of Xie Jingan blackmailing him behind him, and said with some gratitude and respect: "Your Highness, don't worry, the grass people know , I will definitely not miss His Highness’s important event of spring plowing, and once the Caomin workshop is completed, I will let people go back immediately.”
Talking to a smart person is a pleasure, Xie Jingan's expression became more gentle, and he praised the old man Chen for his loyalty, and then turned his inquiring eyes on other aristocratic families and merchants.
With Mrs. Chen as an excellent example, how could the others not understand what Xie Jingan meant, fearing that he would change his tune a little later, and immediately scrambled to tell the story of how many cows the family was willing to donate.
Xie Jing'an is currently in a shortage of everything, no matter how much, he will not refuse anyone who comes, and he is afraid that the promises of these merchants and aristocratic families will change their minds, so he specially asked Cui Tong to come in and register to make sure that everyone does not care how much After donating some, I completely changed my previous attitude of not being willing to help, and said kindly: "It is really a blessing for me to have you in the fief who are willing to relieve my king's worries. Not that kind of stingy person, so I invited Mr. Xu from the Equipment Department, and asked him to allocate a few quick-witted people to help you at your residence tomorrow."
With Xie Jingan's words, everyone felt relieved. Although they were a little distressed at being extorted from tens of hundreds of cattle, but when they thought about those rare things that were worth thousands of gold, they felt nothing.
After finalizing the construction of the workshop, Xie Jingan, taking advantage of the amicable atmosphere, simply took out the city planning map that he had made a few days ago, and pointed to the area dozens of miles away from the city, where he planned to build an industrial park for future generations One of the locations said: "This is the place that the king allocated for you to build workshops. This location is next to a mountain and not far from a river. It is really a treasure land of geomantic omen. I can assure you, everyone If we build the workshop here, we will surely make a lot of money in the future and make a lot of money."
Rijindoujin and the others knew it a long time ago, so it was naturally not as exciting as before. Besides, they were all attracted by the blueprint. No matter how they looked at it, they felt that the place did not look like a treasured place of geomantic omen, so they couldn't help asking in surprise: "There are so many open spaces in Mozhou City, why did His Highness choose such a far place to build a workshop? Looking at the map drawn by His Highness, this place is at least thirty or forty miles away from Mozhou. If it is farther away, it should be It’s too inconvenient to go back and forth to Zhuozhou.”
Thinking about it this way, the words that were about to be spoken suddenly turned around, Xie Jingan ordered Cui Tong to invite people into the flower hall, and went to wash up and change clothes by himself, thinking about what to say later, Shi Shiran entered the flower hall .
