Chapter 227
Mao Wenlong had a plan to finalize the port matter. Whether in history or now, it was necessary to ask Tianqi to open a sea ban for him. It was feasible at the time. However, while enriching Mao Wenlong's military pay, because he only cared about
After collecting taxes, they allowed the materials trafficked by the southern wealthy families to land in North Korea through Pi Island, and were trafficked to Hou Jin Zi Enemy. As a result, later generations criticized Mao Wenlong for subsidizing the enemy. To say that Mao Wenlong Zi Zi
The enemy, that was really an injustice to him. At that time, Mao Wenlong was very poor and had to take a group of his beggar troops to Liaodong to work as bandits. Otherwise, the situation would not be revealed, and where would there be materials to support the enemy? This is a fact that everyone knows.
, but because the merchants who collected taxes from him were enemies, the hat was placed on his head.
The current Mao Wenlong must take off his hat for the future Mao Wenlong one by one, so let’s start with this matter.
As long as North Korea blocks the coast of the Tieshan area and allows smuggling merchants to land from only one place, then Mao Wenlong will use this bonded method to control the landed goods in his own hands, and he can control the direction of these goods and the types of these goods.
, you can control the enemy's happenings as much as possible.
As for whether spending so much money on bonding will result in losses, look at the special economic zones in later generations, which one is not extremely rich? This is an economic account, each has its own algorithm, as long as Mao Wenlong understands it, as long as Mao Wenlong operates, then it will
A golden rice bowl with abundant wealth appears.
Mao Wenlong was busy here, and the people were not idle either. They received the two taels of silver each from Mao Wenlong, and they went crazy. So they rushed into the streets in a swarm, started shopping crazily, and began to scan goods in Tieshan.
The attitude was like that of a starving man asking for anything, and the merchants were happy to take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money, selling their entire inventory to these people who suddenly became rich.
Some businessmen sent people overnight to purchase goods, or notified friendly merchants from other places to immediately organize supplies to come here to make war fortune. There were also ordinary people who seized the opportunity and took out all the things they did not use at home or temporarily unused and sold them at high prices.
Let’s make a small profit first, and then we can do business in Tianjin later when prices come down.
Not to be outdone, all the wealthy families refused to give up on this crazy feast. They also assigned their family servants to move out all the shabby and unused things from their homes, sell them all, and get money.
, and prepare to buy new ones when prices fall back in the future.
As a result, the entire county experienced a kind of morbid prosperity.
The supplies began to be concentrated, and Lu Yixue began to organize the people of Tieshan to start transporting them.
Recruiting transport personnel, the salary is so generous that one might wonder if they are dreaming - the carriage shops in the city will pay more for freight, and they will pay in cloth or gold and silver. Those with shoulder carts will be given a bucket of rice a day, those with wheelbarrows will be given half a bucket a day, and those with big carts will be given half a bucket of rice a day.
The livestock and carriage operators were given one tael of silver or one meter and one stone. They were also responsible for three full meals a day. The most important thing that made people feel at ease and not be deceived was that the promised freight, grain and silver could be withdrawn by their family members in advance.
We set out in formation. This trip would earn us as much as a month or even more. Where in this world can we find such a good job? Why not go.
Serving as a husband to the government means you have to work for nothing and even have to pay for it. Now it seems that this handsome Mao is really different from other officers and soldiers, and he is really fair.
The Mao brothers fled here from Liaodong very early, and they were already short of three meals a day. When they saw Mao Wenlong staying in Tieshan, they originally wanted to join Mao Wenlong's refugee camp, but Mao Da blocked such an idea, because according to normal rules, joining
The civilians brought by the officers and soldiers are equivalent to treating themselves as cannon fodder. No matter how fierce the war is, survival is still the first priority. Therefore, they usually stay as far away from Mao Wenlong's barracks as possible, for fear that Mao Wenlong will capture Ding and his brothers.
They caught him.
However, after observation, Mao Wenlong inexplicably did not use the people he brought as cannon fodder to fill the enemy's trenches. This time he sent out troops, everyone could really see that the people Marshal Mao brought out were all real soldiers.
, there were no old, weak, women or children, which made the Mao brothers very puzzled.
At this time, Mao Wenlong suddenly recruited transport personnel, which made Mao Da move, and he was ready to seize this rare opportunity to make a move. However, Mao Si took his brother's hand and said cautiously: "How can officers and soldiers have such good intentions? Why?
Didn't you first appease him with kind words, and then either blackmail or kick him away after the work was done, leaving your brother to work in vain?"
The boss thought it might be the case, so he closed the courtyard door tightly and didn't ask any questions.
But after a while, the excited second child came back and happily reported to his eldest brother and fourth brother: "Mao Shuai is so kind. He actually gave two taels of silver to each of the people who followed him on the street.
Crazy shopping, now cold water is three cents more expensive on the street, I will come back to see if we have anything at home, and take advantage of this opportunity to sell it and make a small profit."
Such words made the boss look bad at that time, and he still wanted to take the opportunity to sell something. Look what we have now. The family members are all good, and even this shabby shop still begged a kind-hearted North Korean to lend it to him.
Square.
The disappointed second son regretted that he had no chance, but in the blink of an eye he said: "Since we can't mess up the business, then we will work as coolies. As Mao Shuai said, the freight will be fully paid." Then he told what he heard.
The content of the announcement was told to everyone.
First, they escorted the people to be used as cannon fodder, and then gave them money for shopping sprees. The impression of several brothers on Mao Wenlong also changed somewhat, so under Mao Er's instigation, the Mao brothers walked out hesitantly with a wait-and-see mentality.
When we arrived at the gate of the courtyard, we came to the place where the transportation capacity was recruited. There was already a sea of people there. People kept letting the young ones pick up the rice grains they had paid for in advance and go home. The strong men were taken in batches and rushed to the places where goods were accumulated.
When the three brothers crowded into the recruitment point, reported their names and took out the poles, the officer in charge paid them the wages they deserved on the spot without saying a word. So, the Mao brothers asked the young fourth to hold the poles.
When the rice grains returned home, no officials or soldiers stopped them, so the two brothers joined the rolling transport army.
The Mao brothers are honest people. Since they received such generous wages, of course they must work honestly. They kept stacking supplies on their two carrying poles. When they saw that they had reached the limit, the assigned officer smiled and said
: "Brother, we appreciate your heart, but don't tire your body and bones. It's already a lot."
Being so cared for, the two brothers' hearts became even warmer. They cheered and, amidst the shouts of the officers and soldiers organizing the transportation, they strode into the flow of people, walked out of Iron Mountain, and set foot on Pi Island.
path of.
Not far from the city, the huge flow of people from Tieshan merged with the flow of people coming from Liaodong. The torrent of more than 200,000 transport troops was so spectacular that even Li Guangdao, who was standing on the top of the city, was surprised.
He didn't know what to say. Looking at the endless transportation team coming from the north, Li Guangdao concluded that Mao Wenlong was in trouble this time and Jiannu was in trouble this time. He might have to be asked by Hou Jin to greet his family. Look.
