County Magistrate Li did what he said and asked Shang Wuji to go to the next village to beg for alms.
Nowadays, Ziqi's people are engaged in the construction of a new rural area. Not only are they rich in materials, but they also have a lot of money. Baisha Village is so poor. What's wrong with the folks in the big hometown borrowing some money to spend?
My brother Qiang... No, my brother Li is short of money recently. It's normal for brothers to work hard.
This kind of shameless behavior was really bad. My uncle didn’t want to go there anymore and looked at the boss speechlessly: “Shou Li, I have been to Shangxi Village many times. I took six or seven hundred thousand from Zishi’s place. Dysprosium, just cloth, already exceeds 10,000. It would not be good to go back to this, right?"
"Why is it not good? Dazai Ziqi treats me very kindly. Now I have a big project with bright prospects. I want Ziqi's family to invest. Is this a kindness that must be repaid?"
"Big project?"
"You don't need to understand. You will understand after the big project goes bankrupt."
"..."
If I don’t cheat investors’ money, am I still a human being?!
But for Ziqi's family, it doesn't matter how much money they give to Baisha Village, it's just small amounts anyway.
Money is not the problem, life is the problem.
Especially with the recent turmoil in Gusu, many people from two noble families have died.
Among them was the Jia family, who had to send some of his children to Tangyi, and some even went to Yancheng in preparation for spring plowing.
Because Lord Yiyang had died, his fiefdoms had been exterminated, and Yancheng had now become a "land without an owner." Under the neurotic manipulation of the old monster Gouchen, many of the Jia family's sons who had bad mouths died.
Therefore, the doctor Jia Ren first asked Wu King Gouchen to change the name "Yiyang" to Sheyang.
"Yi" and "She" have the same pronunciation at this time. After the Jia family got a Sheyang man, it was regarded as a new member of the clan who was obedient to the king's affairs.
A bit like Shang Wuji, he divided a small branch and headed to Sheyang City in Yancheng.
However, Jia also knew that this was an emergency period, and he had no manpower on hand. Now, in the Wangji area, the person with the most abundant labor force, besides Wu Wang Gouchen, was Li Jie.
In fact, besides removing Jiang Yinzi's identity, Li also had the title of "Lord of the Hundred Sands". This had nothing to do with King Wu's reward, but was purely County Magistrate Li's prestigious reputation.
The "Lord of the Hundred Sands"!
At present, the influence of Li Jie's gossip can spread as far as the coastal areas on both sides of the Yangtze River estuary. More than ten or two hundred thousand "savages" know that there is such a fierce man.
It’s hard not to accept it. After all, once County Magistrate Li took people to “Dongsha” and brought four elephants home. This incident is still a myth and legend of “Baisha”.
"Having traveled hundreds of miles to Gusu, there is a man who can fight tigers and leopards, and chase elephants across streams. He is called a fierce man, and he is also called Li Jie. He stands tall with the sky and the earth to control the desert..."
The magicians in small places are so boastful and can bluff people.
Of course, the magic sticks are not for nothing, they are paid. Shang Wuji and Ji Ba are two different teams. As the prince of the Six Kingdoms, Ji Ba is still somewhat experienced in political deception.
Besides, there are so many fellow villagers, there are always one or two who are good at evil ways.
The results were so impressive that Li Jie almost became a god.
If it were County Magistrate Li who was the foreman at that time, he would at least be the kind of great witch in the "Honghuangliu" immortal cultivation novel...the kind of special Xiaoqiang.
The savages who were looked down upon by others in the past have now become a favorite due to the extraordinary times.
At least you want to escape to the wilderness. If there is no manpower to build a house for you, cultivate the land and grow vegetables, what will you eat?
The savages of the past must not have such good skills, but the "Baisha" savages are different. Even the silk is not much different. The "Baisi" of the Gusu Palace even purchases some silks from Yinxiang.
Moreover, in recent times, the large-value payment currency of Wu State has been made of white silk produced in Yinxiang.
If you have territory, strength, and population, what kind of bicycles do you need?
Ziqi's people are not stupid, not to mention that Ziqi obviously explained many things before leaving.
As a result, County Magistrate Li often sought alms from Zishi, who settled in Shangxi Village. In the past, he could even get two beauties. One can imagine Zishi's attitude towards Li Jie. It was not a simple trust, but a complete relationship.
It looks like the deputy is bound to it.
"Then...how much do you want for this trip to Shangxi Village?"
"This time I don't want money, I want people."
"There are not many beauties left in Shangxi."
"..."
Does County Magistrate Li really want to refute that I seem to be chasing beautiful women?
But then I thought: Yes, I just like beautiful women. Is it wrong to like beautiful women?
Suddenly I felt that I couldn't refute, and it took me a long time to tell my uncle: "There are many sericulture farmers in the Zi family. Let them borrow some people, and we can set up a large sericulture base."
The efficiency of sericulture is actually not very high these days. It’s not that there is any problem with the silkworms or the feed. Even greenhouses have been available in Gusu for a long time.
The silkworm houses in Gusu are the best. It is a secret skill that is not taught to the outside world, but it is only a little higher than the cocoon production rate in Yue country, which is not too exaggerated.
The fact that the output cannot increase at this time is actually related to the low utilization rate of silkworms.
In Gusu, cattails are often used to allow silkworm moths to implant in the bed and produce seeds, but Baisha Village uses paper instead.
Therefore, according to records in Baisha Village, one acre of mulberry forest can raise about three silkworms a year, producing forty or fifty kilograms of fresh cocoons.
This efficiency can be doubled even if it is doubled.
In other words, as long as Baisha Village is willing to expand its scale, the more sericulture experts the better, and there will be no need to worry about lack of production.
However, whether it is Baisha or other sandy areas, there is only one beautiful silkworm lady named Dan. The second beautiful silkworm girl had to go to Furong, which was separated by ten or twenty miles.
Within a vast geographical area, there are only two beautiful silkworm girls, and the number of silkworm girls is also very small. There is no way for a fool to work for the Chinese.
These days, small experts in any industry are the private property of the nobles.
Therefore, what County Magistrate Li wants now is to take advantage of the turmoil in the country to make a small fortune first. Technical talents that could not be grabbed before can now be grabbed.
He not only wanted to recruit people from the Shangxi Village clan, but also from various cities. Even regardless of whether the King of Wu had a burp or not, there was no problem in recruiting people from the "Baisi".
He also has connections in the "Hundred Division". Brother Jie is always ready to give him a blow. It doesn't matter whether he practices the evil sword manual or not. The Sunflower Book can be used.
As long as Brother Jie feels that he is fully developed and has offspring, he can be a hermaphrodite eunuch at any time. County Magistrate Li doesn't mind giving Brother Jie a healthy development and progress award.
"The silkworm farmer... I'm afraid Zishi won't want to do it."
"If it doesn't exist, I will definitely be willing."
County Magistrate Li showed an amiable smile, "Wuji, are you stupid? If they don't want to, I can't rob them. They must be willing?"
"..."
When I went out, my uncle almost slapped me in the face. Why did I always have lower expectations for my boss?
