After dismounting and walking in, Liu Pei found that the house looked like a big house. In fact, it was just slightly larger than the surrounding houses, with an extra hall. Looking around, the house had no decorations.

It can be said that the family has only four walls. In the middle of the hall is a large, crudely made table with maps and a lot of documents. There is also a large bowl and a plate of vegetables on the table. It seems that Mao Wenlong is catching up for lunch.

After receiving the news at about the same time, I hurried to the dock to stay here.

Liu Pei took a closer look. He found that the rice was just brown rice, and the vegetables were a bunch of wild vegetables that could not be seen clearly. They were really not fishy at all! Liu Pei couldn't help but feel moved, thinking that Mao Wenlong was really rigorous in running the army and led by example! What if?

Without him leading by example, how could Dongjiang Town persist in such a difficult environment! How could the soldiers be willing to follow an unworthy commander!

When Mao Wenlong saw Liu Pei looking at his food, he smiled and said: "You are making me laugh, sir! There are no reserves on this island. Even if it is a little flat, nothing can be grown. So people up and down here can't have anything to eat."

But at least the soldiers and I can still have a few mouthfuls of food! For the remaining people, I can only try my best to survive."

Liu Pei cupped his hands and said: "The general takes the lead. He has the style of a general! In the future, he will be granted the title of marquis and worship the general, just around the corner!"

Mao Wenlong laughed and said, "Then I'll lend you my husband's blessing! But I haven't asked him his name yet."

Liu Pei said: "My surname is Liu, and the only word is Pei. It's just that my parents died young and I don't have a nickname yet."

Mao Wenlong asked Liu Pei to sit down, then ordered his soldiers to pour two bowls of water, and said: "Sir, you just said that you want to discuss business with me. But do you know that my reputation, Mr. Mao, is already so bad?"

Liu Pei smiled slightly and said: "I have heard of the general's reputation. But I am different from ordinary businessmen. The general will definitely be happy to give you what you ask for."

Mao Wenlong thought for a moment, and probably didn't expect that he had anything valuable in his hand, so he said: "Sir, you might as well just say it. As long as Mao can do it, I will definitely agree."

Liu Pei said: "The general led more than a hundred people deep into the enemy's rear to open up Dongjiang Town. However, I was very annoyed that I could not provide any help to the general, so I thought hard for many days and finally came up with a method. And it worked for the general and for me.

benefit."

Mao Wenlong raised his eyebrows and said curiously: "Oh. Please tell me in detail if you have any good ideas, sir."

Liu Pei said: "I am from Shandong, and my family has quite a lot of assets. But it is really difficult to supply military supplies. So I used all the money in my family to buy more than 100,000 acres of wasteland in Qing and Deng Prefectures. So what I need is

Come and help me clear up wasteland."

When talking about this, Mao Wen

Long's nostrils were already wide open and he was panting. He hissed: "Do you want to have people, sir?"

Liu Pei nodded and said, "That's right. This is what I have in mind. I will supply the general with food and take away the excess population from the general. In this way, it will be beneficial to both the general and me."

When he heard this, he immediately stood up, bowed to Liu Pei, and said, "On behalf of the elders of Dongjiang Town, I would like to thank you sir!"

Liu Pei hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, saying: "General, you must never do such a great gift!"

Mao Wenlong stood up straight and said with tears in his eyes: "Sir, I don't know! Many former Liao people have defected from Houjin these days, but I don't have any extra food for them! As a result, I don't know how many people died of starvation.

Man! Sir, this move can save tens of thousands of people from disaster!"

Liu Pei was very moved when he saw Mao Wenlong like this! Liu Hui knew that in the near future, Mao Wenlong would become arrogant because of his growing achievements. But at least for now, Mao Wenlong is still dedicated to the country and the people! So he said

"General, it's best to replace me with someone who has a family, and leave as young a man as possible to the general to fight in the war."

By this time Mao Wenlong had calmed down. He sat down and said, "I don't know how you plan to replace someone?"

Liu Pei said: "General, do you think one stone of grain can be exchanged for five people?"

Mao Wenlong laughed loudly and said: "Sir, you are so calculating! There are many young adults on my island, but few women and children. Sir, you can get at least four young adults with only one stone of grain and wine! In exchange, you can open up wasteland and plant grain. I don't know how much it will cost."

What’s the benefit? This replacement method won’t work!”

Liu Peiwei smiled and said: "Then please ask the general to tell you how to change the method."

Mao Wenlong said: "One stone of food exchanges for one person!"

Liu Pei shouted: "This method of exchange is impossible! General, you must know that no one is willing to sell mature land, so I can only buy wasteland! It will take at least two years to open up wasteland before I can see food. During this period, I have to provide food and drink for the tenants."

, I can’t bear this. One stone of food is exchanged for four people!”

Mao Wenlong said loudly: "No! Change to two at most!"

Liu Pei said: "This won't work either! One stone of food needs to be exchanged for at least four people! But I can also help the general open up another way to make money."

Mao Wenlong was very interested when he heard the word "wealth path". Dongjiang Town was isolated overseas, and the court was beyond its reach. Even the food was not delivered in time, let alone money. If there really was a way to make money, Mao Wenlong

Naturally, you can get money in exchange for food and supplies, and there is a lot to do in Dongjiang Town!

So Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment and then said: "Okay! Just one stone of food for four people! But the money the teacher mentioned must also be useful!"

Liu Pei said: "General, don't worry, I will definitely come up with the idea."

Effective. However, will the general explain that I can still carry several hundred people on my ship? Please ask the general to send someone to select some people first, and we will set off after unloading the food."

Mao Wenlong immediately called the soldiers to come in and gave detailed instructions. The soldiers ran out with surprise on their faces.

Mao Wenlong came back and sat down and said to Liu Pei: "Sir, why don't you tell me how to make money!"

Liu Pei said: "Dongjiang is located between Liaodong and North Korea. The geographical location is very critical. Later Jin wanted to get it but couldn't. But on the contrary, the transportation here is more convenient. Moreover, there are high mountains and dense forests here, and there are many primitive

The dense forest is where the general’s wealth lies.”

Mao Wenlong said a little disappointed: "I also know that there are many products in this forest. It's just that all the things here are filled into the stomachs of the soldiers and people. Where can I sell the extra things."

Liu Pei said: "Otherwise! What I want is not these things. What I want is the big wood produced in this dense forest! There are some roads in the south. They need thick wood for shipbuilding, but the south is densely populated and there is no wood left to cut.

. But here, the general has high mountains and dense forests, and there are many big trees. As long as the general cuts down the big trees, carries them down the river, and then weaves them into rafts at the seaside, I can drag them away with a boat. At that time, I will use food or money to pay for them.

General buys it, General, do you like it?"

When Mao Wenlong heard this, he clapped his thigh happily and said, "Okay! Sir, what a great idea! If so, there are a lot of big trees in the mountains around me, so I can ask you to sell them! I just don't know how much you want."

Liu Pei said: "Of course the more the merrier! But the general also needs to know that I don't want all the big trees, I only want oak!"

Mao Wenlong said in surprise: "What is oak? What does it look like?"

Liu Pei described to him the specific appearance of the oak tree in detail. Mao Wenlong understood it immediately and said: "I understand. This tree is very common in western Liaoning! I don't know when sir will ask for it, so I can arrange for the people to cut it down.

?”

Liu Pei said: "The general can make arrangements now. After a while, I will send someone to inspect it, and then I will deliver it to the general at the market price. Moreover, the general can also collect some ginseng and dongzhu from the Koreans. I will

You can sell them on your behalf.”

Mao Wenlong was even more happy after hearing this and said: "Okay! I have very close ties with North Korea. Next time I will send someone to North Korea to get a batch."

Liu Pei said: "In that case, I'll leave it to the general. But I have another unkind request. Please accept it, general."

Mao Wenlong said: "Sir, if you have anything to do, it's okay to just say it."
