The carriage arrived at Liu's house in Nanqi smoothly. As soon as Liu Qingge arrived here, he saw all kinds of refugees. Most of them were ragged, exhausted, and seemed to have been suffering for a long time.
This is completely different from the refugees in the Northern Desert.
Liu Qingge didn't understand why Nan Qi didn't implement the same policy as her. These refugees didn't seem to have a good life here.
As if he could understand Liu Qingge's inner thoughts at this time, Liu Xiangchen said: "The construction level in Southern Qi is higher than that in Zhongzhou, and there is no shortage of all kinds of labor. Our business is very strict about talent control. These refugees can enter our Liu family business." There are very few. Now the money earned by the entire Liu Family Firm is just enough to support these refugees. There are fewer and fewer refugees coming to Southern Qi these days. I believe that our Liu Family Firm will be able to recover soon."
It's not that the number of refugees has decreased, but that the refugees have all arrived in the Northern Desert where Liu Qingge is located, and are operated by Qingge Company. The Northern Desert is indeed more suitable for the development of these refugees than the Southern Qi.
But apart from this part of the labor force, the Northern Desert will definitely not be able to absorb this part of the labor force when there is a large-scale outbreak of refugees.
These refugees from Zhongzhou are hard-working and require little remuneration, which will inevitably affect the people in the Northern Desert.
Liu Qingge wanted to resolve this problem before the conflict broke out, and made two preparations.
If Marco Polo could discover the New World, that would certainly be the best choice. If he couldn't, it would have to be solved nearby in Zhongzhou, but any solution would require a lot of food.
Therefore, being able to successfully use Nanqi and minimize the cost is the key to solving this problem.
"Uncle, I wonder if you can recommend the leader of Southern Qi." Liu Qingge said.
"Is Ge'er so determined to facilitate this?" Liu Xiangchen didn't expect Liu Qingge to be so determined.
"Little uncle, do you think this is not feasible?"
"It's not that it's not feasible, but even if we succeed in taking advantage of Nan Qi, the reward Nan Qi demands may not be something we can afford. The leader of Nan Qi is the most proficient in calculations, and his eyes are not for neutrality or peace. , but to make more money." Liu Xiangchen sighed.
Liu Qingge had heard some rumors about the leader of Southern Qi becoming greedy for money, but businessmen shouldn't be more talkative. If political factors were taken into consideration, the leader of Southern Qi might not be able to help her.
"I think businessmen are easier to talk to."
When Liu Xiangchen heard what Liu Qingge said, it was actually not without some truth. After all, businessmen valued profits more. As long as there were benefits, it would be easier to negotiate.
It’s just that Liu Xiangchen didn’t know what methods Liu Qingge used to allow Donghuang and Qingge Company to do business. And according to what Qingshu said, Donghuang didn’t make any excessive demands. This was simply incredible. .
Although he was curious, since Liu Qingge didn't say anything, he wouldn't ask.
After all, rather than Liu Qingge trusting him wholeheartedly, he hoped that Liu Qingge would be a little wary of him.
"Ge'er has indeed grown up." Liu Xiangchen felt a little emotional for a moment.
"Of course I have grown up. My uncle Ge'er is already married. He will be almost thirty years old soon. When do you plan to get married?"
Liu Qingge's eyes were sincere and clear, like a clear pond rippling in Liu Xiangchen's heart.
He smiled bitterly and said, "I have no plans to get married."
"If we don't get married, how can we do it? Then my little uncle won't hear frogs croaking every day." Liu Qingge joked.
"Hear a frog croaking? What does that mean?"
"Lonely and widowed - lonely and widowed - lonely and widowed -"
Liu Qingge imitated it so perfectly that Liu Xiangchen was not angry. He just looked at Liu Qingge with a smile and said, "Okay, okay, I will be a lonely old man in the future."
"That's not possible. My uncle may become a lonely old man."
"If you can't marry the one you love, my uncle would rather not marry for the rest of his life." Liu Xiangchen said.
"You will never marry? Uncle, which girl do you like? Is the girl you like married?"
Liu Xiangchen was stunned for a long time before he said with difficulty, "She...is indeed married..."
"Now that she's married, let's set our sights elsewhere. I don't think it's a problem for a handsome man like my uncle to seduce a few more sisters-in-law for me."
"My uncle's heart is very small. He can only tolerate one woman in his life. If she gets married, the person she loves will not be me. My uncle has no plans to get married in this life."
"Little uncle, how can you be so stupid? Even if we, as a man from Zhongzhou, don't marry three wives and four concubines, we can't hang ourselves on a tree, isn't it? Whose girl is this good? Let little uncle see her Is she the only one here?" Liu Qingge was curious for a moment.
"Well... she is the best woman I have ever seen in the world. It's just that the timing and identity of me meeting her were wrong, which meant that there was no possibility between me and her." Liu Xiangchen said with a bitter smile.
He didn't know why he told Liu Qingge everything he said in his heart. His mood at this moment was extremely depressed. He longed for someone to understand his thoughts, but he was afraid that others would see all his thoughts.
It's like a clown wearing a mask. After wearing the mask for so long, he no longer recognizes himself.
"Little uncle, I don't know who you like, but the woman must be very happy to know about such an outstanding person like little uncle. But since she is getting married, she must be marrying the one she loves. When she saw little uncle He must want his little uncle to be happy, so he should work hard to find other happiness." Liu Qingge said sincerely.
Liu Xiangchen smiled and said nothing.
When the two of them walked to the hall together, Liu Fufeng had been sitting quietly at the table for a long time. When he saw Liu Qingge, he said happily: "Ge'er is here, let Grandpa take a good look."
Liu Qingge walked to Liu Fufeng, turned around and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Grandpa, you are not thin."
"Okay, okay, come and eat."
The small hall was bustling with activity for a while. After drinking for three rounds, Liu Fufeng could call Liu Qingge to the study alone for questioning. He said in a deep voice: "Who are the people around you? Can they be trusted?"
"Back to grandpa, this is the man who holds the sky high."
"Qingtian? The best mercenary in the world?" Liu Fufeng was surprised. He didn't expect that this group of ordinary-looking people could be the best mercenaries in the world.
"Yes, grandfather, before I had time to say, I found my father in Donghuang."
"Hmph, it's okay if that man doesn't recognize her." Thinking of his daughter's suffering because of that man, Liu Fufeng felt angry.
Liu Qingge smiled awkwardly and said, "Grandpa, maybe my father has something to hide."
"If there is any unspeakable secret, he is the head of a country, and he is not as good as being my son-in-law, Liu Fufeng!"
