Chapter 163 Persuasion
"Master Lu, why are you bothering?"

In the messy main hall just now, only Lu Weimang and Qi Hongxi were left.

Qi Hongxi looked at the complacent Lu Weimang, and said with a wry smile.

Lu Weimang looked at Qi Hongxi, "Master Qi, do you still remember the injustice yesterday?"

"Because of the injustice of the ancient Qin and old lands. Why do people here work hard for a year and can only make ends meet, while people in other places sleep at home and harvest more than us here?"

"Master Qi, no matter how big Xing'er grows, it is not an apple. The yellow land here is weak. No matter how hard it is, it will not have a good harvest. So why don't we find another way and find another apple for us in Yongzhou? a way out?"

Qi Hongxi struggled in his eyes, "However, this shipping brought only casualties and suffering to the common people."

Lu Weimang waved his hand, "I promise Lord Qi, this boatman will never reappear in Yongzhou from now on, even if it does, it is just as a way out?"

"The way out? Pulling the boat will kill people, what kind of way out?"

Lu Weimang smiled, "Master Qi, let me ask this question, if you pull a boat for a day, and I give you and a hundred Wen, do you think anyone will want to do it?"

Qi Hongxi was silent, and smiled wryly, "My lord, don't say a hundred coins, give fifty coins, and the lower officials will have to cover their faces and work for a day."

After finishing speaking, he sighed, "Our Yongzhou is suffering. From top to bottom, from east to west, there is no easy place to live, no easy life. If you say that you hire people with cash, the city is full of people. Men, women and children of all ages can overwhelm our yamen and compete for it."

Lu Weimang smiled, "Look, we have many advantages. The transportation is very convenient, the grasslands stretch for thousands of miles, there are horses and camels, it is easier to walk than flat land, there is also water transportation, and this cheap labor, as long as it is done, No matter what you do, there is always something to do."

Qi Hongxi shook his head, "My lord Lu, why do you think the officials are so poor? Back then, I was just like you, I wanted to make a career out of it. But here, we have no skilled craftsmen, no special products, only endless loess In the grasslands, merchants seek profit, if we are profitable here, merchants would have come to do business long ago, instead of being so deserted now."

Lu Weimang shook his head, "If you don't have it, develop it. Although we don't have the gems and medicines of Qionglai, we still have our unique good things. The natural moats in Qionglai have been turned into smooth roads, let alone Yongzhou, which has a flat terrain and convenient transportation? You can't Accept your fate, if you accept your fate, there will be no rush. With me to support you, you will show the energy you had when you were young, and make a lot of troubles, if it fails, Jincheng has no loss, what if it succeeds?"

Qi Hongxi's eyes were confused, facing Lu Weimang's burning eyes, he subconsciously avoided it.

Lu Weimang didn't mind, and just patted the shoulder of the person in front of him, "You are still young, don't you want to make a career, not only benefit the village, but also go out of Yongzhou, the world is so big, what is it just from books? In the future, we Success, the world is so big, let you go!"

The little flame in Qi Hongxi's heart was on the verge of extinguishing, but now it was flickered by Lu Weimang, "My lord..."

"You don't need to express your opinion right away, just go back and think about it. If you figure it out tomorrow, help me register the manpower brought by the man in the yamen. We have to fight a big battle. We can't procrastinate, and the battle is quick! The pier is just the first step, and there are still two, three, and four steps to go!"

It wasn't until Qi Hongxi came home dizzy that he realized that he took over the monitoring work of the dock.

"Hongxi, what's the matter? I think you're dizzy. You didn't cause any trouble outside, did you?"

Wang Cui'e, the wife of the general judge, looked at her official lord worriedly, with a worried expression on her face.Although following her master, there are always times during the year when she has to tighten her belt, but it does not prevent her from worshiping her master.After all, Qi Hongxi is the most promising man in eight villages. How many girls in the village envy her that she can be an official's wife!
"I heard that a new officer has arrived, and she's still a woman. Did she make things difficult for you? It's okay, don't be afraid. If she makes things difficult for you, I'll talk to her!"

Wang Cui'e inserted her waist and said.

Qi Hongxi waved his hand, "It's not difficult for me, it's just that she found me an extra job."

Wang Cui'e patted her chest, "That's okay, the old men are not afraid of doing the work, isn't it just a little effort for nothing, and it can't kill anyone."

Qi Hongxi shook his head, "It's not in vain, just give me money, an extra twenty taels a month!"

"Man, you don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?"

...

Money can turn ghosts, this saying has been true since ancient times.

On the second day, the field at the estuary outside the city was evacuated for work, and under Lu Weimang's real money, it changed from a good field to a flat field again.

Under the leadership of Qi Hongxi, the wharf was built in an orderly manner.

"Miss, what is this?"

"Prepared wool."

"Why are you making these pickled things? You get up and let the servants do it. You just say what you want to do."

Xiaoqiu occupied Lu Weimang's place, and Lu Weimang waved his hands helplessly, "I have had the fat on this wool removed with caustic soda, and I've washed it with water several times, and there's nothing marinated about it. .”

"That won't work, you are so precious, you don't need to do it yourself."

Lu Weimang had no choice but to say, "This is the wool that is spun into thread."

Xiao Qiu was dumbfounded.

Finally, Xiao Xia, who had done similar work as a child, spun wool into thread.

Lu Weimang and Xiaoqiu watched from the sidelines.

"Miss, this wool is light and warm. After the maidservant has spun such a good thing, I will wash it for you a few times and make it a close-fitting garment. You will definitely feel better this winter."

Lu Weimang gave a thumbs up, "Sure enough, it is specialized in surgery. I didn't tell you how to use this thread, so you will know."

Xiao Xia smiled shyly, "Miss, don't boast, this is just my experience of spinning silk at home with my mother when I was a child. In the past, when we went to the south of the Yangtze River, we never saw so much wool in the capital. Can spin thread. If you can spin thread, you can make clothes. Don’t worry, the wool will be handed over to me, and I will make clothes for you at that time, waiting to be worn in winter.”

Lu Weimang nodded in satisfaction.

"It seems that those who have the basics of spinning can easily get started."

Knowing this, Lu Weimang summoned thread spinners in the city to process and weave wool in public on the main street of Jincheng.

"Miss, why did you spread the good idea you came up with? Isn't it good for us to make a lot of money quietly?"

Xiaoqiu was a little puzzled.

She knew that the snowflake salt in Kyoto was the young lady's property, and it made a lot of money every day.Although this wool is not comparable to salt, if it works well, it may not be impossible to make a lot of money.

Lu Weimang shook his head, "This wool is different from salt. It requires a lot of labor and time, and I can't gather so many people. Why do you hide it in your arms so that no one can see it? I just want to advertise this wool. We have to send people to the villages, not only to announce the method, but also to buy it, no matter who has learned it and made it, I will buy it at a high price!"

Xiaoqiu was dumbfounded.
