Chen Wenjing never understood why Shaodong's family took in those refugees.
I even feel that the more the better, the more the better.
In his mind, the fields in Duanjiabao were limited, and the original farming by the farmers in Duanjiabao was enough.
The Shaodong family has built several workshops so that they can have something to do during their spare time and earn more money, which is a good thing.
Moreover, there are two to three thousand people in Duanjiabao, which is enough for the operation of the workshop.
Just like at the beginning, although everyone had concerns, it had to be said that life was getting more and more prosperous as the young master's family promised.
Later, people from Moon Island came over.
Chen Wenjing felt that this was the benevolence and righteousness of the Shaodong family, and it was a shame that those people lost their lives and were beheaded by the court.
After all, most of the people there are honest and responsible people, and they were forced to die when they had no way to survive.
What's more, there is an imperial edict coming from above.
The young master couldn’t refuse.
Therefore, Chen Wenjing felt that there was no other way for the young master's family to carry out large-scale construction projects in Duanjiabao, such as building roads, houses and mines.
After all, there are thousands of people and thousands of bandits. If they are left hungry or left idle after being fed, trouble will occur.
Chen Wenjing attended private school for several years.
Moreover, he is also the accounting clerk of the Chen family.
Therefore, he is also clear about the expenses for food, drink, food, rice, oil and salt.
The Chen family only has a few dozen members of the Chen family, and sometimes he feels that the expense is too much.
What's more, there are thousands of people coming from Moon Island.
With thousands of mouths, just eating is not an easy task.
However, Shaodongjia actually took care of everything.
Now, Duanjiabao doesn't have much income that can make money.
Therefore, he always felt that the young master's family might soon spend all the money left by his old master.
He was even worried about what would happen to the nearly seven or eight thousand people in Duanjiabao if the young master's family really spent all their money.
For this reason, Chen Wenjing went to her great-grandfather Chen San to express her concerns.
However, Mr. Chen San, who originally did not agree with the Nanpo reconstruction plan, although he was also worried, chose to believe it.
He believes that the Shaodong family will lead the people of Duanjiabao to live a better life.
Therefore, Mr. Chen San just told him at that time that when he was under the Shaodong family, he had to work hard and share the worries of the Shaodong family...
It was already very difficult to take care of the people on Moon Island, but when he heard that Duan Wenjun wanted to take in the refugees who had defected, he suddenly became even more worried.
"Young master, our Duanjiabao really can't..." Chen Wenjing still wanted to persuade.
Duan Wenjun interrupted him directly, "Wen Jing, I understand your worries! Don't worry, your young boss never does anything that is uncertain."
"Alas!" Chen Wenjing let out a long sigh and moved her lips a few times, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't.
"Wen Jing, I know you are thinking about me, our Duan family, and our Duan Family Fort." Looking at his sad face, Duan Wenjun said again, "It's just that I have thought carefully about this matter. You Believe me, the more people there are, the better it will be for the development of our Duanjiabao. If you think about it carefully, have I done so many things, have I led everyone astray?"
Chen Wenjing frowned slightly and thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case.
Although many of Duan Wenjun's ideas seemed fanciful, in the end, they were all implemented.
"If you really want to help me, then you must help me take good care of this brick kiln and tile kiln, so that my house in the R&D Industrial Park can be completed as soon as possible, so that everyone can quickly build this big red brick house." Duan Wenjun's words rang out again, "There are also flower trees on the south slope, mulberry trees and pond fish in the mulberry fish pond. They are all for me. These are all ways for us to make money in the future."
"Please rest assured, Young Master, Wen Jing must be optimistic about this situation and will never let the Young Master's family worry." Chen Wenjing's face became extremely solemn.
He knew that he could not convince Duan Wenjun.
At this moment, the only thing that can be done is to help Duan Wenjun do all this.
Duan Wenjun nodded and left with Mo Shoucheng.
He understood that Chen Wenjing would definitely not understand his thoughts.
However, he will definitely do what he asks to the letter.
This is enough.
In this world with extremely low production tools, population is the most important productive force.
Chen Wenjing won't understand now why he has to continue to absorb people into Duanjiabao, but when Duanjiabao truly develops, he will naturally understand.
"Old Duan, are you really going to take in those refugees who have fled here?" Mo Shoucheng couldn't help but speak as he just came out of the brick kiln.
"Not bad!" Duan Wenjun nodded. "Aren't some of them building roads now? If you are willing to stay, as long as you don't cause trouble and work honestly, that will be fine."
Mo Shoucheng's brows suddenly furrowed. "I think you must be cautious about this matter."
Mo Shoucheng never asked about the affairs in the fort.
Seeing how he hesitated to speak at this moment, Duan Wenjun couldn't help but wonder, "Old Mo, why are you so hesitant to speak today? Is there any problem?"
Mo Shoucheng frowned and then said, "I think Chen Wenjing is right. You need to think about it carefully."
"The farmers in Duanjiabao are basically the original tenant farmers of your Duan family. They have been farming here for many years, and many of them have even become domestic slaves of your Duan family." Mo Shoucheng frowned. Frowning, "So, no matter how much trouble you want, it won't be a big problem. Even if you build them all red brick houses now, it only shows that you, the young master, care about them, and they will definitely be grateful to you."
"Needless to say, the people of Moon Island. With an imperial edict, those thousands of people will be the slaves of your Duan family. As long as you can feed them and restrain them, no one will dare to gossip. You What you want them to do is naturally your freedom. You gave them a way to survive, and as long as they have a little conscience, they should thank you."
"But these refugees who came here are different. You take them in, and you take them in, but they are completely different from the people on Moon Island."
"I know your intentions are good. You just can't see them suffering and want to help them. But have you really understood who they are?"
"It wouldn't matter if they were all wandering from other places and were deemed homeless by the government. However, most of them are farmers from nearby counties and towns."
"Why are they here? That's because you, Duan Wenjun, have opened a workshop and the wages for recruiting workers are high. Your wages of tens of cents a day are more cost-effective than farming. So, they all come here for money. "
"If it's like before, I just do part-time work here occasionally and earn some money to support the family during the slack time, there's nothing wrong with that. After all, they still mainly take care of their own fields."
"But if you take in all the people who come to work, give them a stable salary, and settle them in Duanjiabao, what will they think?"
"They will naturally be grateful to you. Maybe they will bring their whole family to join you and move here with their whole family."
"But, do you think this is a good thing?"
When Mo Shoucheng said this, his face became extremely solemn, he raised his head and stared at Duan Wenjun, and his tone became more serious, "This is not a good thing, it might even bring you big trouble!"
