Not long after, old Sardin came as expected.
The old guy was smiling. The caravan had made several trips to the surrounding areas recently, and it seemed like it was making a lot of money.
"Your Highness, I listen to my daughter. If you can marry Xina, all my property will belong to Your Highness."
Old Sardin put his hands in his sleeves and said slowly.
Ning Fan felt secretly happy in his heart, but his expression was awkward and he couldn't help it.
He readily agreed and when the news reached Xiao Lingxi’s ears, she didn’t know what it would be like.
Ning Fan looked at Xina's fair face and thought to himself that it would be a waste for such a good-looking girl to marry someone else.
"Sadin, are you negotiating terms with me?"
Ning Fan had a straight face.
Ning Fan usually had a kind demeanor and rarely showed majesty. The sudden majesty he showed made Old Sadin a little unable to bear it.
With a plop, Sardin knelt directly on the ground.
"Your Highness, the common people don't dare."
Sardine was trembling with fear.
Businessmen have a low status in Dakang, and officials can control the life and death of businessmen with just a word.
Moreover, in many cases, Dakang laws did not protect businessmen, and rulers generally felt that businessmen did not engage in production but only exploited, which was a despicable industry.
Therefore, in the formulation of laws, Dakang originally focused on agriculture and suppressed business, restricting commercial development.
Therefore, although the businessmen or capitalists of the well-off society are very rich, they do not dare to be arrogant. A small official can control the wealthy businessmen to the last detail.
This is why Sardin desperately wanted to climb the big tree Ning Fan.
"I want to help the victims this time and lead them all to Jiangzhou. Do you have any good suggestions?"
Ning Fan asked.
Sardin knelt on the ground and thought hard, and then said after a long while: "We need clothing and food along the way. This is a huge expense. When we get to Jiangzhou, we have to build houses for resettlement, and we need to distribute grain seeds and agricultural tools. These are astronomical figures. "
The more Ning Fan listened, the more he frowned. He asked Sardin to come up with the idea, but he didn't let the old guy throw cold water on it.
"Don't you have any good ideas?"
Ning Fan looked suspicious.
As the saying goes, businessmen are the shrewdest, and Ning Fan felt that Old Sardin must have a way.
Sure enough, under Ning Fan's intense questioning, Old Sardin finally came up with a brilliant solution.
"The Qianshan Lake water pirates have more than two thousand large and small boats. When Your Highness defeated the water bandits, I heard that these boats became ownerless! Your Highness can take them all and use them to transport refugees!"
"It only takes one day to get from the Grand Canal of the Capital to Jiangzhou, with one trip every three days. It won't take long for all these refugees to be transported to Jiangzhou!"
Sardine said.
Ning Fan's eyes lit up after hearing this. If Sardin hadn't mentioned this matter, Ning Fan would have almost forgotten that he burned down the Qianshan Lake bandits' lair.
"Okay, let's do it!"
"But you can help me find a solution for all the follow-up matters. However, the land in Jiangzhou will not be distributed randomly, but will be used intensively!"
"In the future, these refugees will join the troops stationed in the army. They will be half soldiers and half civilians. They only need to go to work on time, and they don't need to worry about the rest."
Ning Fan warned Old Sardin.
Old Sardin has a lot of money, but money doesn't come from strong winds. If he wants this old profiteer to pay, Ning Fan really has to show some sincerity.
He thought for a while and said to Sardin: "When you go back, first tell the people in the Chamber of Commerce that once Jiangzhou develops in the future, it will not inhibit the development of merchants. Merchants can trade freely in Jiangzhou, and they will never be subject to restrictions. Oppression from the government!”
"In addition, after the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, I will hand over all the trade to the countries in the Western Region to the Hu Ren Chamber of Commerce."
Ning Fan threw out the bait and waited for Sardin to take the bait.
I thought that Sardin would be overjoyed, but Ning Fan found that it seemed that he had guessed wrong this time.
Sardin seemed very calm and just said cautiously towards Ning Fan: "Your Highness should consider Xina's matter. She really likes Your Highness."
Ning Fan was speechless for a while and could only send Sadin off first before thinking about this troublesome matter.
"If His Highness takes the initiative to speak up, Miss Xiao will definitely feel resentful!"
"But if this matter comes to Miss's ears, it depends on how she handles it."
Ergou saw Ning Fan restless and understood what his master meant.
As the saying goes, eating the king's salary and sharing the king's worries, Ergou immediately thought of a good way, that is, to reveal the news to Xiaoyu first, and then Xiaoyu told Xiao Lingxi, so that he could test Xiao Lingxi's attitude.
"What if she doesn't agree?"
Ning Fan said in a panic.
In this era, it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines, but for a modern man like Ning Fan, monogamy has long been ingrained.
Therefore, Ning Fan would also feel guilty when he had a certain thought.
"Your Highness, you are a prince, how can you only marry one woman in your life? Even if you are willing, the people in your main courtyard are not willing! This is a family law left by our ancestors. You must marry more Wife, at least seven!”
Ergou shook his head, his head clear and clear.
Ning Fan, who was initially worried, immediately changed his mind after hearing Ergou's words.
He pretended to be wrong: "Is this really the case? You also saw it, it was all because of old Sardin!"
Ergou snickered in his heart, but didn't show it on his face.
I went out in the afternoon and came back in the evening.
However, Ergou came back with a letter.
When Ning Fan saw the envelope, he knew it was Xiao Lingxi who had written to him.
If it was the past, Ning Fan would definitely be ecstatic and quickly opened it to take a look, but at this time, Ning Fan was a little timid.
But in the end, Ning Fan gritted his teeth and opened the letter. He read the words on the letter carefully, and then Ning Fan let out a sigh of relief.
"Ergou, what did you tell Xiaoyu?"
Ning Fan frowned.
What makes Ning Fan curious is that in this letter, Xiao Lingxi didn't mention anything about Xina. This made Ning Fan couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Ergou, the messenger, sent the wrong message?
"Your Highness, I just brought the topic to Xina, and Xiaoyu asked me a lot of questions without me taking the initiative to say anything..."
Ergou pretended to be dumbfounded.
Ning Fan was speechless for a while, but at the same time he was very curious.
"Let's do this. Send me a letter and ask sister Lingxi to have a gathering at Wangyue Tower tomorrow and talk about the newspaper office."
Ning Fan patted his head and said.
He was about to leave Jiangzhou, but Ning Fan's idea of running a newspaper and controlling public opinion in Dakang was not extinguished.
In fact, Ning Fan had been optimistic about Xiao Lingxi very early. She felt that Xiao Lingxi had a sense of justice and was more than enough to be a newspaper editor-in-chief.
Tomorrow, I can just talk about this matter.
"Your Highness, you can send the letter, but regarding Xina, in order to avoid long nights and nightmares, you'd better agree quickly."
Both dogs were worried about Ning Fan.
