Soon, Du Xinyun informed him of the current situation here.
He still needs to wait for instructions.
"Notify the three major families tomorrow and ask them to come and see me!" Du Xinyun's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Since my Du family's claws have been chopped off, then theirs will not be able to live well."
When the old servant heard this, he immediately understood.
"Master, do you mean to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"
"They want to eat both ends? Is it possible?" Du Xinyun sneered: "The gangsters are a powerful force. Li Zhao only has two thousand soldiers and horses. We don't have to fight head-on."
The old servant laughed when he heard this and said: "Young master is wise! Since my branch of the Du family is gone here, let them bite the dog!"
…
"The person from the Du family must have discovered our ice business with Li Zhao."
"So what if you know? Who said you can't do business with your enemies?"
"You have also seen the demand for ice now, how hot it is? Then Li Zhao is indeed not a thing, but there is no denying that he is really good at making money."
Everyone in the room nodded in approval.
Even if they only take 30% of the profit, this profit is much higher than their business.
What's more, the demand for various materials in Li Zhao's Prince You's Mansion has been staggering recently, and it's all money.
"What if the Du family asks us to take action?"
"Haha... The Du family is not our own family, so he really wants to order us? You are right, we have to guard against..."
"you mean?"
"Delay! Delay if you can! We can't really let our people confront Li Zhaogang, right?"
Everyone heard the words and understood.
It's one thing for them to be enemies with Li Zhao, but it's another thing for them to be business partners with Li Zhao.
Since your Du family died first, it can only mean that the Du family is unlucky.
If the Du family wants to drive us to death, then we will delay.
Presumably Li Zhao should also understand this meaning.
However, no one knew that Li Zhao was already planning to strike first.
A single den of ruthless bandits is definitely not good enough, but there are so many ruthless bandits that Li Zhao cannot allow this scourge to continue to exist.
Since these gangsters might cause him huge losses, why didn't he kill them first?
However, before taking action, Li Zhao still planned to prepare some more means, such as gunpowder!
…
early morning.
Before dawn, countless figures had already appeared in the field.
The people from Longmen Village were the closest and the first to arrive.
They have already notified them, and today everyone, men, women, old and young, will all go out together.
The Du family's property has been confiscated by Li Zhao, and all the land has been confiscated.
But Li Zhao felt guilty and was afraid that the Du family would take it back, so he didn't plan to give it a chance.
With so much food, wouldn’t it be a waste if we didn’t harvest it?
Long Jia'an was counting the number of people, and the village chiefs were also busy.
Everyone has prepared straw hats, sickles, and bamboo pots.
The torch was already lit, and Li Zhao yawned and walked quickly accompanied by Youwang Wei.
"Your Majesty!"
Li Zhaodao: "Everyone, as long as the escort flags are planted, you can harvest them. Today, I will help you harvest the grain. We will have meat for lunch and dinner."
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we are good at harvesting rice."
The atmosphere was very cheerful.
"The heads of each village are responsible for allocating tasks." Li Zhao ordered and changed the equipment.
The Du family's farmland is more than 30,000 acres, which is a shocking number.
In their previous life, their family only had one acre of farmland, and they had to harvest rice from early in the morning to late in the evening. They worked extremely hard and couldn't finish the harvest.
If we don't have enough manpower to handle these more than 30,000 acres, we won't be able to finish it in two months.
However, Li Zhao has now gathered enough people, thousands of people.
"Your mission remains unchanged, mainly the threshing machine!"
"yes!"
This tool is of great importance. If used well, Li Zhao can save a lot of time and stay ahead of everyone.
"Did you hear that?"
"What?"
"The prince rewarded everyone who participated in the development of new tools with a certain amount of money last night."
"hiss--"
"puff--"
"real or fake?"
The reward of consistent money is still very shocking.
You know, their highest wage now is only twelve cents a day.
They usually need to work for eighty-three days to get the money.
"Really rewarded with money?"
“Should everyone be rewarded the same amount of money or should everyone be rewarded the same amount of money?”
There are still many people who don’t believe it and think it is a rumor.
"of course it's true!"
"Didn't you see what Carpenter Xiao looked like when he left in the morning?"
"Many people have received awards."
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Although many craftsmen choose to believe in Li Zhao, there are also many who are unwilling to go over to work. They would rather guard their own one-third of an acre of land.
When they saw those who defected to Li Zhao getting richer and richer, these people couldn't stand it.
Regardless of whether he is a scholar, a warrior, or an ordinary technician, he actually has a kind of pride that is unique to him.
It makes you feel bad when you see someone who is worse than you or even worse than you come up from behind.
Just because those crooked melons and jujubes can be rewarded with a lot of money, why can't I?
There are many craftsmen who think this way!
When people from the surrounding villages heard the news, their eyes showed envy.
"Is King You really willing to give up?"
"This is the first time I've heard of such a large reward."
"Don't you understand this? In the words of the prince, his name is Bole, and those people are called Qianlima."
After the man finished speaking, he took the tools and walked quickly towards where Prince You's Mansion was.
"Hey...you also went to help in Prince You's Mansion?"
The man stopped and said, "Yes, His Highness Prince You will lead people to cut rice today. Anyone who comes to help can get wages and two full meals."
"Brother, is it true?"
"I'll die badly if I lie to you."
After the man finished speaking, he hurried away.
"Shall we go?"
"Do you really have wages and food to eat?"
"Let's go take a look?"
More and more people came out and rushed towards Prince You's Mansion with their own tools.
…
Li Zhao is doing statistics. He needs to set up a team leader to ensure that the rice harvest can go smoothly.
If something happened, he would go directly to the managers, and now there was a steady stream of people coming from all directions.
Some are far away from here, and even if you get up very early, it still takes a lot of time to get there.
This is the limitation of this era.
In an era when travel tools basically only had two legs, it was really inconvenient for ordinary people to travel.
Li Zhao learned from many people that some people got up at the fifth watch (3-5 o'clock) in order to get here early.
Even though Li Zhao felt sorry for these people, he had no way to change the status quo for the time being.
The road must be walked step by step, and the meal must be eaten one bite at a time.
Although he cannot be like the later generations, he still wants to try his best to make Jiaozhou into what the later generations will look like.
He hopes that through his own efforts, people in this era can have a family, without the oppression of aristocratic families, the robbery of gangsters, and the heavy taxes.
Perhaps, it is difficult to achieve this goal and ideal of a flourishing world.
But if you don’t even dare to give it a try, then you are really sorry for this time travel.
