Although there is no seasoning, I don’t know if it’s because Liu Deng’s craftsmanship is so good or because this purely natural and pollution-free wild grass carp tastes really good.
A grass carp weighing three kilograms was actually eaten by Liu Deng.
"Your Majesty, the manpower around here is really limited. We have only summoned these people. Do you think it's okay?"
Du Ziteng was still very efficient. When Liu Deng threw down the fish bones, a group of one hundred civilians were brought to Liu Deng.
"The efficiency is pretty good. There is a bright future. From here to there, build a three-foot-high wall to surround them all. Is there any problem?"
Liu Deng stretched out his hand very domineeringly and pointed at most of the river bend.
"This, this, this..."
The corners of Du Ziteng's mouth began to twitch. The range of this wave was too large. It looked like it covered an area of dozens of acres. How many copper coins would it cost to build such a long wall that was three feet high?
"What is this? How much money is needed to get it directly? How many civilian laborers are needed can be directly transferred?"
Liu Deng stretched and said nonchalantly.
"But, Your Majesty, the summer harvest is about to begin. This is the busy farming season. If a large number of civilians are deployed at this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to explain to the Grand Tutor..."
Du Ziteng said tremblingly.
"Are you the king or am I the king? Aren't you just an old bastard? Just do whatever you are asked to do? The old bastard has any objections to recruiting civilian husbands. I have no problem spending money to hire people, right? For fifty cents a day, give me I hired 500 people and worked around the clock, and it must be completed in two months!"
Liu Deng said nonchalantly.
"D-King, are you serious?"
A civilian husband asked cautiously.
Farming is about to be busy, but the government has urgently transferred him here.
If Liu Deng hadn't been wearing that Yan uniform, I'm afraid these people would have pointed at his nose and started scolding him.
However, everyone's eyes widened when they heard Liu Deng say fifty cents a day.
"I am a dignified acting king, so of course I keep my word!"
Liu Dengcai said arrogantly.
"But Your Majesty, if you calculate it this way, if you want to complete this project, I'm afraid it won't cost more than 50,000 yuan!"
Not to mention, Du Ziteng is really an accountant who was delayed by the guards.
His ability to settle accounts is really not a given. It seems that besides being greedy for money, lustful and timid, this kid still has some advantages!
"The calculation is quite clear. I'll leave this matter to you. If you need anything, go directly to get it. If you need copper coins, go directly to the warehouse. In two months, I want to see this wall standing here! By the way, These two people have everything they need, don’t be afraid of spending money, they will soon have three hundred thousand dollars in their income. If you don’t spend some money, how can you make a lot of money?"
Liu Deng felt happy when he thought that he would soon receive 300,000 yuan.
Although making salt can be considered a big business, Liu Deng was not prepared to invest all his money from the beginning.
The initial investment of 50,000 coins was enough, but he had no intention of investing the remaining 250,000 coins.
Once there is revenue from Yanchi, we will naturally be self-sufficient.
Chao Cuo thought that he had taken a big advantage. After returning to the palace, those country bumpkins must also feel that he had taken a big advantage. How could they imagine that after Liu Deng took their money, he would immediately transfer the money to Somewhere else.
In this era, there were no electric motors or generators. Even if you were to build the simplest steam engine, you would not have the technical conditions to do so. Everything would be driven by water power. To achieve huge output, everything would have to be piled up manually.
Liu Deng had a headache when he thought of these things, but fortunately, when he thought of the heavy money bags of those who were taken advantage of, Liu Deng immediately felt much better.
Just a few pieces of straw paper, which are hard enough for wiping buttocks, are actually worth fifty guan.
This kind of thing, if it were left to later generations, would definitely be regarded as a fool, and it would be the kind of classic fool material written into textbooks.
But in this era, that thing has become a top-quality product that wealthy people are vying to purchase.
"promise!"
Du Ziteng's face turned red instantly. The king really trusted him so much that he actually entrusted him with such an important matter.
Just when Du Ziteng was full of ambition, a letter was sent to the palace of Wu King Liu Bi.
"You're so brave, I'm so angry!"
King Wu Liu Bi was so angry that he kicked over the short boy in front of him.
According to the habit of a big man, he only wore a pair of thin boots on his feet. Just now, his toenails were kicked off.
The palace maid and eunuch who was waiting on the side didn't know what happened. She quickly knelt on the ground and pressed her head tightly to the ground, like a frightened ostrich.
"Are you slaves blind? Can't you see that father is injured?"
Prince Liu Xian stood up and said angrily.
"Father, what happened?"
Several palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly came up to clean up Liu Bi. Liu Xian also hurriedly came forward and asked carefully.
"Come and see, Liu Deng, that kid with a dirty mouth, is really bullying people! First he sealed up our shop, and then sent people to ransack my courtyard. Now he even beat Gongsun Gui to death. What does he want to do? Want to show favor to the man from Chang'an? "
Liu Bi said angrily.
"Father, please calm down. Is the source of this news reliable? I've also seen that guy Liu Deng. He always behaves submissively. How could he do such a thing?"
Hearing what Liu Xian said, Liu Bi was also stunned, yes!
This kid is usually submissive. The last time I saw him, he would blush for a long time even if I made a joke to him. How could such a kid do such a thing?
Could it be that someone is instigating this behind the scenes?
At this time, the Wu State's treasury is getting richer and richer, its armor is strong and its military is strong, and its national power is strong. Even the man from Chang'an has to give him a little favor. Who dares to scheme against him like this?
"You guys go down first!"
Liu Xian waved his hand and drove out all the serving ladies, eunuchs and guards.
"Father, if my prediction is correct, I'm afraid things won't be that simple this time. Liu Deng, a submissive boy, can't be so bold. I'm afraid this matter was ordered by that person!"
Liu Xian pointed to the sky as he spoke, and Liu Bi's face suddenly darkened.
Although he lives in the Kingdom of Wu, he spends millions of money in Chang'an every year. He has long received the news. Recently, someone has written to the emperor, saying that the national power of several vassal states is getting stronger and stronger. It threatened the rule of the Han Dynasty and asked the emperor to cut down the vassal vassal.
Thinking of this, Liu Bi suddenly felt that something was really wrong...
