Li Qi had no choice at all. He fell into Zhang Chengtian's hands and could only form a city alliance with this boy.
Two hundred thousand laborers are what Zhu Yuanzhang wants. No matter what, they must be supplied, even if one person is missing.
In addition to the 200,000 people, they cannot be sure how many extra laborers will be sent, and how many natives will be captured and sent back to Goryeo.
But there is one thing, that is, Li Qi must go all out and must not be slippery.
The more people, the better, and the money will naturally be given in full. If we dare to miss a penny, we will not be finished!
To be honest, Li Qi really wanted to cry without tears. He was such a dignified prince-in-law, it was really embarrassing. He was bullied like this and was thrown into a prison. He suffered from kidney failure due to cold.
Then he was blackmailed and the boss was handed over to Zhang Chengtian.
A scholar can be killed and cannot be humiliated. At this point, he is almost ready to die.
I don't believe that Your Majesty would be so partial to Zhang Chengtian?
If His Majesty knew that he had taken 70%, His Majesty would probably be angry, and maybe there would be a solution by then.
Li Qi was thinking about revenge, but to be honest, there were too few opportunities. He couldn't even see Zhu Yuanzhang even if he wanted to... By coincidence, three days later, Zhu Yuanzhang was busy preparing the land in the manor outside the city.
Because recently a batch of overseas improved seeds and special crops were sent to Daming.
Lao Zhu plans to choose the best time to try planting next spring. He is now preparing the land in advance to maintain soil moisture.
Li Qi, as a prince-in-law, took the initiative to run over and follow Lao Zhu to work.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not polite when faced with the labor that came to his door. He asked him to prepare the ground and pick out manure. After a busy day, Li Qi's palms were covered with blood blisters, they were worn out of shape, the pain was unbearable, and he almost fainted.
past.
How could he, a pampered young man, have suffered such a crime?
It's almost second only to the treatment I received from being held in jail and being given the cold wind a few days ago.
If it weren't for revenge, he wouldn't have endured this hardship.
Unfortunately, with a day's hard work, Li Qi finally got the slightest recognition from Lao Zhu.
After all, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, those who can work honestly and farm seriously can never be too bad.
"Okay, it won't be easy for you either. Go back to Goryeo and take care of your father for us so that he doesn't think about anything. In a few years, when he celebrates his seventieth birthday, we will still give you a big reward. We are old friends for many years.
Old brothers, old relatives, it’s not easy!”
Zhu Yuanzhang used the word "老" three times in a row, which highlighted Li Shanchang's status.
Li Qi was overjoyed and couldn't help but feel a little bit of ambition. After all, the person in front of him was still his father-in-law, his dearest relative and friend, and an elder he could rely on. He would never fall out with him no matter what.
So Li Qi mustered up his courage and said, "Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best to serve the Ming Dynasty. I dare not say it's hard... but I can't look down on some people. They appear to be loyal on the surface, but in fact they make a lot of money and enrich themselves.
Most of the benefits have been taken away, which makes people grit their teeth and wish they could get rid of it as soon as possible!"
Lao Zhu remained calm and asked: "Who are you talking about? If someone really betrays his kindness, we won't be polite!"
Li Qi thought for a while and finally summoned the courage.
"Your Majesty, I, I am talking about Zhang Chengtian!"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked: "What happened to him? How did he fail us?"
Li Qi gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, he asked me to sell Luzon natives and do more hard work, and then give him 70% of the income!"
"Seventy percent?" Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a while, "Are you right? Is it really seventy percent?"
Li Qi nodded hurriedly, "Indeed, he opened his mouth wide and asked for 70%!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, looking a little surprised, and then said: "So he will leave you 30%?"
Li Qi was stunned. It was indeed 30%, but the problem was not that simple.
"Your Majesty, I still have to arrest people from Goryeo and arrange for the natives of Luzon. The hard work is all my fault. Zhang Chengtian is getting money for nothing!"
Lao Zhu nodded, "We know, you have really worked hard, so I can't give you any money... Let's do this, of the 30%, you keep 10%, and the remaining 20% is given to Princess Lin'an, which is regarded as her private money!"
Li Qi didn't seem to understand. My ears are broken?
It was obviously me who impeached Zhang Chengtian, saying that he took away 70%.
Why did your Majesty not care about his request for money, but instead wanted to give my money to Princess Lin'an? Is your Majesty's mind broken?
Li Qi was completely dumbfounded and froze here.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face became solemn, and he suddenly growled: "Are you deaf? Or have you lost your mind? We ask you to give 20% of the 30% you received to Princess Lin'an and ask her to keep it! Do you understand?"
Li Qi was shocked and finally understood.
Everyone is feeling bad.
Even though he lost the majority, he still had some hard-earned money to earn, so it wasn't too much of a loss.
But if he gives another 20% to Princess Lin'an, then he can almost certainly say that the more he sells, the more he will lose. In a few years, he will not even wear pants anymore.
Li Qi really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Zhu Yuanzhang took wrongly?
Is it just because Zhang Chengtian is the son of the Grand Master that everything he does is right?
There is no reason for this!
Seeing that Li Qi was still hesitating, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help shouting angrily, "You idiot, get out!"
Without even a chance to argue, Li Qi crawled and rolled out of the manor.
I'm confused, what went wrong?
Li Qi couldn't figure it out. In Zhu Yuanzhang's hands, there was a 70% agreement... In fact, the agreement was all fake. Without an agreement, would he dare to rely on Zhu Yuanzhang's account?
Obviously, that's not the case.
Giving Lao Zhu this letter of appointment means telling Lao Zhu that there is such a thing, and this money will be put into your pocket.
Yes, Zhang Chengtian turned around and gave all the money he had obtained from Li Qi to Zhu Yuanzhang, without asking for any of his share.
All the money fell into the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, and Li Qi came to impeach Zhang Chengtian again. Is there any other possibility besides being unlucky?
If he didn't think they were useful, Lao Zhu would have killed Li Qi.
How come there are such stupid people in this world!
And I am afraid of comparison in everything. If you compare Li Qi with Zhang Chengtian, the gap will be even greater.
Although Zhang Chengtian is also fun and noisy, his children are so obedient!
This makes Lao Zhu feel a little distressed. When he gets the money, he must share it with Zhang Chengtian, otherwise the child will be too wronged.
Lao Zhu didn't know that Zhang Chengtian, who he felt aggrieved and pitiful, was overjoyed and overjoyed at this moment.
Dare to interfere in the labor trade, and want to get a share of the pie... I'm afraid it's okay for my father's status, but he definitely can't.
Although this amount of money is large, it is a pity that it does not belong to Zhang Chengtian.
If you take it reluctantly, you will be in trouble.
Therefore, Zhang Chengtian left everything to Lao Zhu. No matter how the arrangements were made, His Majesty had the final say.
Then Zhang Chengtian doesn’t want to get rich, so he doesn’t want to make any money?
How could it be!
Does Zhang Chengtian have his own little plan... In fact, prostitution is a good business.
The investment is extremely low and the profits are huge, which is especially suitable for his status.
But there is a premise, that is, you cannot sell it like Li Qi!
He is a one-time deal, sell it, everyone is happy, and then he doesn't care about anything.
This is definitely not possible!
Zhang Chengtian feels that if he wants to be sustainable, he must make proper arrangements.
For example, if you buy a certain official position, you must have corresponding benefits and be able to obtain the resources that belong to this position... Therefore, Zhang Chengtian decided to change his approach.
He quickly contacted Liuqiu and Xiaoliuqiu, contacted the Hua family and Fang family, and then contacted the people who divided the Japanese country.
You can take any official position in any country you want, or any high position you want.
And once you spend money, you can receive a newspaper from this country every year. And once you become an official of a certain country, you can recommend several people to go to the corresponding country every year.
If these people decide to settle down and immigrate, they can also get a preferential loan and a piece of free land.
Anyway, the purpose is to make this official position look not so nonsense.
Moreover, after buying an official position, recommending people to come and go can strengthen contacts and help immigrate overseas... In short, it must benefit the country and the people and stand firm.
When the people from those families heard Zhang Chengtian's plan, they all nodded.
Anyway, as long as you, Master Zhang, are willing to take the lead, of course we will follow, and there will be no problem at all.
In this way, Zhang Chengtian successfully sold the first batch of overseas official status.
Among them are five ministers, seven chief envoys, twenty-three prefects, more than fifty county magistrates, ten people from one thousand households, and more than seventy people from one hundred households...
Good guy, with purchases and gifts, he has really turned into an industry.
After counting his income, Zhang Chengtian made a net profit of more than 1,500 yuan.
Although it is not too much, Zhang Chengtian is very satisfied.
This is what he can get smoothly. Otherwise, no matter how much the quantity is, someone will be watching, but he will not be able to get it into his mouth smoothly.
He looked down at his belly and saw how big it was and how rich he was.
We can't let our heads get hot for a moment and sink ourselves into it.
Zhang Chengtian's calculations were very accurate. Neither his father, Zhang Ximeng, nor his teacher, Zhu Yuanzhang, would care about the small amount of money he made by instigating a lawsuit.
What these two really care about is the labor of Goryeo... Today's Ming Dynasty has the ability to immigrate on a large scale.
Hundreds of large ships headed for Goryeo.
After landing, they immediately took the laborers to Luzon for delivery.
On the Luzon side, the Ming army quickly occupied land, cut down trees, and established large-scale sugar cane plantations.
The actions of the soldiers can be said to be unscrupulous and there is no need to worry.
In the Ming Dynasty, even in Lingnan, nothing could be done.
If you want to occupy land, you must first greet the locals, understand them rationally, and be emotionally moved. Only when they see solid benefits will they switch to sugarcane planting.
But in Luzon, the situation is completely different. Are you unwilling to give up the land? Don’t want to grow sugar cane?
Well, let’s go to Korea to farm!
Similarly, when the Korean laborers arrived in Luzon, they were not familiar with the place. Looking around, they knew nothing... and had no other choice but to work honestly.
So in Luzon, what you see is the ultimate efficiency. The land is leveled and the labor is put in. They work non-stop day and night, under the stars and the moon, without wasting any time.
The first batch of cane sugar will be delivered to the Ming Dynasty soon...but before that, another batch of rare items is delivered to the Ming Dynasty, including a bag of round, ugly-looking things.
Potato!
Zhang Ximeng recognized it almost at a glance. It was a good thing... The young man responsible for sending these things to Beijing was called Ma He, nicknamed Sanbao, and he was under Zhu Ying.
