"Why are you looking at me like this? If you want to get rich by gambling, tell you that it's impossible."
Hearing what Wu Zheng said, everyone couldn't help looking at Wu Zheng in doubt, and Song Feier even asked: "Why? Don't you think this is much easier than opening a mountain and building a village?"
Wu Zheng smiled and said: "Why? Let’s not talk about anything else, just say that you can sew and bet every time you win. Who will dare to bet with you in the future? Of course, if you open a gambling shop, it’s a way of making money. Unfortunately, can we open a gambling shop in this Yuzhou city
As the saying goes, there are outsiders and there are outsiders. Today we have taken advantage of it, but who can guarantee that we can continue to win like this? Maybe someday all the wealth will be lost overnight, and gambling will be hidden. You saw it today, that Xiao Shisan was so red-eyed that he dared to bet his life with me. I really don't want something like this to happen to you one day.
Therefore, the real wealth of Feier needs to be created by hands. Only the wealth created by his own hands can be long-lasting and can be passed on to future generations. "
"Cut! You are stingy. By the way, what are you going to do with so much money?"
Wu Zheng said: "Buy cows to buy farm tools, hire someone to open up wasteland for us!"
"Farming?" Everyone looked at Wu Zheng in surprise, so much money was actually used for farming
Wu Zheng said: "Yes, in fact, there is no shortage of arable land in Shuzhong, but why is there still a shortage of food?"
Song Feier said: "That's because the people from Chengdu Mansion were all sent over by Tuyuhun, so no matter how much grain Yuzhou grows, it won't be enough to eat."
Wu Zheng nodded and said, "This is one reason, but another reason is that there are still many places we haven't used. For example, on the mountain..."
Song Feier chuckled, "Xiang Gong, although Yuzhou is not short of water, but the water will not flow up to the mountains! What kind of food can be made from the mountains without water? Besides, although there is a shortage of food in Shuzhong this year, it is because of Jiangnan. In the worst of the disaster, we usually don’t lack food in Yuzhou. If we plant more, we can’t sell it."
Wu Zheng laughed and said: "It's true that there is too much food to sell and cannot be sold at a price. But what if we use the food to make wine? And there is no shortage of food in Sichuan. Is there no shortage of food in other places? As far as I know, we don't lack. Yuzhou City, the city of food, seems to have a lot of people starving to death every year!"
Song Feier nodded: "Although Jiangnan is a granary, the mountains are high and the road is far away. When there is a lot of food, ordinary people may not be able to afford it. Once this year, the food in Jiangnan is not enough to supply the gods. Entering the middle of Shu? It's just Xiang Gong, I still don't understand, where do we get the water to grow grain on the mountain?"
Wu Zheng laughed and said: "Although we can't let the water flow up the mountain, it will rain! Besides, the trees on the mountain are originally a large reservoir, and we also get a lot of rain every year in the middle of Shu. We can also dig a pond on the top of the mountain to store water, so that we don’t have to worry about running out of water throughout the year.
In addition, we can only grow rice here for one season. After the autumn harvest, most of the fields are empty. If we say that we are used to grow vegetables, our Shenmu Mountain location may be rotten before it is sold, so we can still do it next. Plant sweet potatoes. "
"The sweet potato?"
"Yes, this is a new crop that you got from an old man after you descended from the mountain. Although it is a bit poor as the staple food, you can still live by eating it when you encounter a famine, but the most important thing is that the sweet potato can also be used for making wine. It can be made into noodles. This is not only a way of making money, but if it can be expanded, it will be a great virtue."
"Great merit? But why did the old man sell it to you? Xianggong doesn't worry about being fooled by this great merit, right!"
Wu Zheng smiled and said, "He fooled me? Forget it! The old man didn't know the goods. If I hadn't discovered it early, those sweet potatoes would have been roasted by the gluttonous old man. Anyway, let's get the money first. Hire people to open up wasteland, first rectify the land, and then we build a wine shop, but before we have to use the money to bring out the Tian Bangde, we will use the money if we don’t solve it first."
On the second day, He Laowu swaggered out of the city of Yuzhou with the empty box of seven thousand taels of silver. Wu Zheng stayed in the inn with Song Feier and waited for news. It was not that Wu Zheng was worried that there was not much chance of winning this time and he did not dare to take risks. , But there was news from Yahang that one or two silver and one catty of salted fish had found a buyer.
Two hundred catties of salted fish is two hundred taels, which is the same as Wu Zheng's 7,000 taels won last night... (End of this chapter)
