“Why does Zhu Household wish to take part as effectively?”
Boss Chen’s face turned black.
Jiaoniang solely knew that the Zhu Household operated in a ship, monopolizing virtually the entire transport strains of the Qingyuan County. However what she didn’t know was that the overland operations of the Qingyuan County have been additionally virtually within the palms of the One Day Household.
Solely when Qingyuan County walked to the north would there be a bustling large metropolis. Apart from a county that was poorer than Qingyuan County within the south, there have been additionally mountains and rivers within the south. These enterprise fellows from Qingyuan County would both go by the water or by the land to do enterprise with the surface world, however who did not know that there was a bandit’s nest on the land.
It will be tremendous if the Qingyuan County was not within the cave, however this damned place had been across the mountains for 2 years, with all sides of the river, and the one means out was by bandits. Apart from this highway, it was onerous to stroll on different mountain paths, even when one didn’t meet any wild beasts, it might be straightforward for folks to stroll on the mountains.
Nobody knew when these bandits would arrange their residence there, but it surely was already too late when the Qingyuan County customers realized that that they had been was a nest of rats by bandits and have been being slaughtered by others.
It was extraordinarily tough to combat, and after struggling heavy losses by way of Qingyuan County, they lastly accepted their destiny and determined to obediently be just a little sheep, paying tribute on time each month. They’d additionally pay the toll for passing by when transport items, and solely then would they be capable of stabilize themselves.
However there was just one household’s distinction in Qingyuan County, and that was Zhu Household.
Some folks stated that Papa Zhu had saved the boss of Liefeng Metropolis a very long time in the past. Anyhow, everybody knew that so long as the products have been marked with Zhu Household, the products wouldn’t be “carelessly” snatched away by these bandits, so whether or not it was by land or by water, all of the retailers within the metropolis used the technique of transportation, carriages, and boats of Zhu Household.
From the seems to be of it, Zhu Household was in all probability the richest man within the county, and nobody was stronger than him.
Boss Chen Boss Zhao checked out one another. He thought that it might be dangerous sufficient to simply insert Wu Sinan, however he by no means thought that there could be a Zhu Household behind the 2 households.
“Did Boss Zhu say how a lot he wished to donate?”
If there was an excessive amount of of their enterprise, they may as effectively write Wu Household beneath the Zhu Household on the pill.
Jiaoniang thought for a second, then stated the reality, “Previous Zhu wished to supply a thousand gold.”
Everybody sucked in a breath of chilly air. They did not know if they may earn that thousand taels of silver yearly.
“Nonetheless, I don’t intend to simply accept that a lot cash. Everybody is aware of that my brother contributed probably the most to this journey, and he was obsessive about learning these paths since he was younger, so he didn’t deliberately examine the supplies that may create the trail. I solely wish to assist the villagers construct this path, so accepting too many presents just isn’t my intention.” So I returned the cash, leaving just one hundred silver. “
What Jiaoniang stated was the reality, however Zhu Zixiu didn’t take the cash again.
He gave the silver to Jiaoniang and likewise gave her one other factor that she wanted proper now.
“Not solely Boss Zhu, I solely wish to pay 100 gold cash, even for all of you, don’t donate greater than 100 gold cash. The highway development is all people’s enterprise, this highway just isn’t the place the place many of the villages collect for us within the county, I plan to construct this highway for my family, and the rationale why you participated within the donation was to get a great reward, I can not bear Jiaoniang to obtain too many presents from you.”
When the others heard this, they have been secretly shocked. They actually didn’t know the price of repairing this highway, however seeing this new and novel highway, they really had the center to compete with the others for the prize. If Jiaoniang didn’t say something after taking their cash, they might not have felt something. Nonetheless, Jiaoniang’s clear clarification of every thing made them really feel responsible as an alternative.
“Jiaoniang is righteous, we outdated folks cannot imagine that you would be able to’t see by us, the cash we donated is yours for now, with this type of habits, how can we not imagine you?”
Jiaoniang smiled and raised his hand to cease them from talking. The world stated that retailers have been heartless, however in these dramas, it was additionally stated that retailers parted methods with advantages. Nonetheless, what they didn’t know was that retailers additionally had their morals. To not point out that on this period, even retailers advocated Confucianism. Most of them held a benevolent and righteous mindset, and there have been additionally true fishermen and villagers, however only some. In contrast to in his earlier life, many retailers misplaced their thoughts within the pursuit of earnings.
Even a avenue vendor right here can speak to you concerning the achievements of their ancestors, and what superb outcomes they’ve made on this business.
This was what a service provider was. Being a businessman was now not a method to earn a residing, however extra importantly, it was their basis to ascertain themselves on a bit of land.
“I’ve heard of the righteousness of the Boss Chen. Previously, they even opened a porridge store to assist the folks throughout the warfare. I’ve already stated the very first thing I wished to debate this with you. The second factor is one thing I wish to talk about with you guys a couple of change in our Qingyuan County. “
Jiaoniang first praised the well-known Rice Store’s Boss Chen, inflicting her to really feel just a little embarrassed. Her outdated face flushed pink, and he or she waved her hand, indicating that she didn’t dare to simply accept.
“Right now, we have been discussing concerning the latest dry climate. I imagine that you simply all have observed that it has been greater than half a month since we final had rain. The climate this 12 months is irregular. Boss Zhu additionally informed me that the water degree of the Lancang River has declined, which is at the very least 5 p.c in contrast with the earlier years. “
Everybody checked out one another however did not dare to look down on the 5 centimeters. The Lancang river was the most important river that linked the southwest to the Central Plains. The water present was huge and infinite and the soup by no means stopped, to not point out that the water degree had dropped by a lot. It appeared that not solely was their Qingyuan County in a drought, even the southwest area was like this.
The Southwest area was very barren, and the folks there have been nonetheless within the early phases of being cultivated. The bitterly chilly lands have been missing meals, and if there was rather less rain within the sky … Nobody knew what would occur.
The Central Plains was the granary of the world, and the meals there was the inspiration to help the nation. If the water degree of the Lancang River have been to drop even just a little, would not all the world be in chaos?
Straight away, everybody understood what Jiaoniang was making an attempt to say. Seeing that every of their expressions had turned inexperienced, Jiaoniang sighed, “Everybody, there isn’t any must rush, Boss Zhu informed me that the scenario is not so critical, and the Central Plains is not like us, the place it hasn’t rained for half a month. It is nonetheless regular over there, but when the water degree of the Cang Lan River descends, the meals harvests within the Central Plains space would in all probability be affected too.”
“Then what ought to we talk about at present?” Boss Zhao was an impatient particular person, and his mind was spinning very slowly. When Jiaoniang stated this, he could not maintain it in anymore.
“Boss Zhu informed me that the Lord Liu discovered him a couple of days in the past, and he hoped that he might cleared the path to donate the funds for repairing the irrigation system in my county. Earlier than the rain fell, most of the farming practices in my county had been affected, and if I didn’t take care of it in time, the harvest could be in chaos.”
“Boss Zhu means to benefit from this chance to construct the highway and donate because the chief. If you wish to assist, simply assist. In case you have cash, you may donate it to others, however it’s a must to restore the irrigation system by the fifteenth of this month.”
“Boss Zhu has donated a thousand taels of silver to restore the irrigation system.”
