"Master Tan." Wen Qingzhu said hello politely.
Mr. Tan quickly returned the greeting: "You're welcome, sir."
Wen Qingzhu nodded and looked at Jiang Yuanhan. Then he followed Wen Qingzhu's example and explained his purpose.
As soon as he finished speaking, before Master Tan could speak, Jia Xiaowu keenly sensed that Wen Qingzhu and the others must have some plan.
"Sir, do you have a plan for the victims?"
"Well, we plan to persuade all the people in Cannes to leave Cannes and make room for the victims!"
As soon as Jiang Yuanhan finished speaking, Master Tan and Jia Xiaowu were shocked.
This is a big deal!
"This, is this the emperor's intention?" Mr. Tan has experienced many things more than Jia, so he immediately thought of it.
Wen Qingzhu shook his head: "It's just our preliminary plan. After all, according to the worst-case scenario, your ancestral home will not be saved. If the victims really come in in large numbers, the people of Kangcheng will have to leave."
"Then the government doesn't care?" Master Tan asked tentatively.
Wen Qingzhu smiled: "Of course I have to control them, so I'm thinking of a way. What I'm thinking of now is to let you guys make room. After all, we can't let them be like this. If they really get to the point where they can't be controlled, I'm afraid things will get worse."
"There is no problem with my family, but there are many families in Kangcheng whose ancestral homes are theirs, and they may not give up."
Jiang Yuanhan took out the deed and said: "Whether they give up or not is one thing, but I can guarantee that most of them will give up. It's just that we will set the price when the time comes."
Master Tan's expression became serious, and he instantly understood what Jiang Yuanhan meant.
He thought about it, then turned around and shouted to the housekeepers and accountants at home.
After half an hour of rough calculations, Mr. Tan brought over a ledger: "Sir, for the sake of Mr. Jia, I also believe in you. I will try to take away what I can, and I will take away what I can't." Find a way to resell it, and I don’t dare to open up about the remaining houses including the things left behind. Your Excellency will take a look first.”
Wen Qingzhu took it over and looked at it, and immediately frowned.
This costs fifty thousand taels of silver
There are more than a dozen families in Kangcheng who are richer than Mr. Tan’s family!
Wen Qingzhu could afford such a large sum of money, but he couldn't afford hundreds.
"Master Ning, I know you have good intentions, but if you really want to do this, it won't be so easy unless the emperor orders it!"
Wen Qingzhu thought of the previous canal project and sold land instead of money circulation.
If this is the case this time, things will not be so easy to handle!
In particular, I have to tell others that it’s okay not to make money in the first few years, but in the next few years I’m afraid it will be huge profits.
Qian Yong told them clearly with his actual actions in Jinzhou.
Wen Qingzhu looked up at Jia Xiaowu and asked him attentively: "Do you think Mr. Tan can be trusted?"
At that time, both Master Tan and Jia Xiaowu felt that there might be something else behind this.
Mr. Tan also has a piece of land and some shops by the canal.
He also thought about this, but there was no waterway in Cannes, so how could it attract so many people
"Yes!" Jia Xiaowu finally nodded.
Wen Qingzhu felt relieved: "That's good."
Next, Wen Qingzhu told Master Tan roughly their plan.
Master Tan opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe it.
However, he had also heard about what happened in Jinzhou, but now he wanted to apply it to Kangcheng.
Mr. Tan himself was a little eager to try it.
But soon, he calmed down again.
Such a big thing will never be that simple.
"Sir, I probably understand, but I have another concern. Are you the only one presiding over this matter?"
It is obvious that Master Tan does not trust Prince Ning.
Wen Qingzhu looked at Jiang Yuanhan. It was time for him to stand up and speak.
"Of course, I and Prince Ning have been sent here to deal with the matter in Kangcheng. Master Tan might as well think about it in depth."
deep
After being nudged like this, Master Tan's hands began to tremble.
How could they, as merchants, get involved in this royal matter? Wouldn't they just become cannon fodder
Jia Xiaowu spoke at the right time: "Uncle Tan, our Jia family has already made a choice. The other second brother will come to Kangcheng in half a month."
Master Tan naturally knows the head of the Jia family. People like Jia Xiaoer who are greedy for life and afraid of death...
After hesitating for a moment, Mr. Tan decided to seek wealth through danger.
"Sir, Your Highness, then I will go with you once!"
Seeing his answer, Wen Qingzhu finally felt relieved and no longer needed to threaten him.
It’s better to use inducements as much as possible.
That night, with Master Tan as a guarantee, one-third of the merchant families in Kangcheng agreed to sell their ancestral home.
At the same time, there were rumors in the room that Mr. Tan was going to start a big business and would give them a share in the future.
By daybreak, most of those who had left and those who had not left knew the news.
In Prince Ning's courtyard.
Jiang Yuanan and Fu Yu had differences.
"You mean to let me build another city?"
Fu Yu nodded: "Yes, there is a large wasteland south of Kangcheng, which is just suitable for housing people."
"Do you know how much human and financial resources are needed to form a city?"
Prince Ning didn't agree with him at all, he just thought that Fu Yu was just thinking!
Faced with Prince Ning's doubts, Fu Yu calmly said: "Your Highness, hundreds of thousands of victims are not so easy to deal with!"
"So what! The imperial court will naturally provide disaster relief. Those who can survive will live, and those who cannot survive will naturally die! If they really want to rebel, I will lead the army to guard here. If anyone dares to move, they will be killed on the spot. kill!"
Prince Ning raised his head arrogantly, as if talking about the life and death of livestock, and did not pay attention to these people at all.
Seeing how he despised accepting his fate, Fu Yu was angry, but thinking of Jiang Yijia's instructions, he could only patiently persuade him again and again: "Your Highness, these are the people of Daqi, living people! If you ascend the throne in the future, Emperor, they are your people!"
"There are so many people in the world, do I have to take care of them all!" Jiang Yuanan disliked Fu Yu more and more. Compared to Yao Ban, he really didn't know that he was the leader!
He, Jiang Yuanan, is the master of this world!
At this time, someone from outside sent a message from King Rui.
After reading it, King Ning was a little confused, so he gave the letter to Fu Yu: "Take a look."
Fu Yu patiently took it, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became.
Did Prince Rui have an idea with him
Their plan was to relocate the original Cannes people and bring in the disaster victims.
And his plan is to rebuild a city that can accommodate millions.
Although the methods are different, the purpose is the same, and even the process that can be vaguely guessed has the same purpose.
"Why are you laughing?" Prince Ning interrupted.
Fu Yu immediately replied respectfully: "Your Highness, King Rui plans to do the same, but they plan to move all the people from Kangcheng!"
After returning to the Yamen, Wu Mian was already waiting for them.
After a tiring night, Jiang Yuanhan originally wanted Wen Qingzhu to rest first.
But when Wen Qingzhu saw Wu Mian waiting here, there must be something big going on.
So she stayed.
After listening to Wu Mian's narration, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but high-five and praise: "Fu Yu is really a talent!"
These words made Jiang Yuanhan feel a little disappointed. It turned out that this method was not something he could think of alone.
Wen Qingzhu stood up and began to think: "If we build a new city, it will save the time of moving the people of Kangcheng. However, this consumes more human and financial resources than their method. If you think about it carefully, the difficulty Actually it’s pretty much the same.”
"Sister, is Fu Yu really on Prince Ning's side?" Jiang Yuanhan had another level of worry.
Wen Qingzhu came back to his senses and said uncertainly: "According to Wu Mian, since Fu Yu found Prince Ning directly, he must have come to help him overcome this difficulty, and the pressure on us will be even greater."
But she continued: "However, we can rest assured about Fu Yu's character. He is by no means a mediocre official who is corrupt and perverts the law under King Ning. He can kill relatives for justice, and naturally he can also admonish King Ning for the sake of the people. If King Ning really If we break through the bottom line, we don’t have to worry at all, Fu Yu might take the initiative to find us.”
"Sister believes in him so much? But isn't he engaged to Jiang Yijia?" Jiang Yuanhan actually didn't trust Fu Yu very much.
Prince Ning was able to rise so quickly and had a certain reputation among civil servants, and Fu Yu secretly helped a lot.
Because of Jiang Yijia's presence, the Fu family and Prince Ning were temporarily tied together.
Even though Wen Qingzhu said this, Jiang Yuanhan still didn't intend to believe Fu Yu. When it was time to take action, he would never hesitate.
That night, Wen Mingxuan came back from Luo City.
When he saw Wen Qingzhu, he was stunned. Wen Qingzhu took the initiative and said: "Mingxuan! You are back! How are things going on over there?"
"Sister, everything is fine." Wen Mingxuan walked to her and sat down next to her, and began to talk about things in Luo City.
After listening, Wen Qingzhu was a little worried.
According to Wen Mingxuan, Luocheng was originally the headquarters of King Shou. Later, King Shou was defeated and left the city.
All forces are trying their best to win over Luo City.
Now it can be said that it is a miniature version of the capital city, with multiple divisions and mixed forces, making it difficult to unify.
Complexity has the benefits of complexity, and unity has the benefits of unity.
"This is a bit troublesome. According to my estimate, Luo City will have to take over at least 30,000 Kangcheng people. The remaining 10,000 people can go to the capital, and the rest will be scattered to various counties and towns, which can barely solve this problem. .”
Wen Qingzhu started to have a headache again.
Wen Mingxuan, who was sitting next to him, hesitated and said: "Sister, Mr. Yu showed me the terrain and map of Luo City. I think maybe we can make Luo City a peripheral area, which is equivalent to expanding the circle and gradually spreading out the busy areas. In this case, 50,000 people may be more than enough, and it’s also a large amount of work.”
"But with so many people in Luo City, will they agree?" Wen Qingzhu was worried that he couldn't unify everyone's ideas now.
Wen Mingxuan looked into her eyes and said, "Sister, have you never thought of using my brother-in-law's name to do things?"
"You mean Fu Lie?" Wen Qingzhu really didn't think so.
"Hey..." Wen Mingxuan sighed, turned around and took out a stack of thick letters, "This is what my brother-in-law wrote to me. Brother Yang and Sister Yinniang are both in Luo City now.
They have already begun to re-select a site to build an ancestral residence of the Yang family. They have considered it for a long time and decided to start construction outside Luo City. They are about to expand the area by then. If the brother-in-law comes forward, do you think the emperor will not agree? "
Wen Qingzhu didn't say anything. It was obvious that this idea was not just a whim.
But since it just happened to solve the immigration problem in Cannes, he must have considered her situation.
