The biography of Gu Qi, a poor girl

In the north of Wangjia Village, there is a Si River, which is wide and wide, and then connected to the Datong River that runs through the entire Yuzhou Prefecture.If we can divert the river water from Xiahetang into Sihe, not only can we solve the flood problems in Shanghetang Village and Xiahetang Village, but also keep the north of Lushan County safe and sound. "The Datong River not only runs through the entire Yuzhou Prefecture, Datong Hebei to Chongzhou and Qingzhou Prefectures, and connects to Jiangzhou Prefecture and Jingzhou Prefecture in the south. This river almost spans the entire hinterland of the Dakang Central Plains. No matter how big it is in Yuzhong Flooding, if the flood can be channeled into the Datong River, given Yuzhong's terrain, there will be no serious trouble. Thinking about this, Liu Shouzheng's heart is burning: "My nephew, can you find a way to connect other waters outside Lushan County to the Datong River? Gu Qi shook his head: "The terrain of the river in other locations is either too high or too low, and the trend of the northbound fault of Wangjia Village cannot be connected in the short term, so we have to find another way." "Liu Shouzheng was a little disappointed, but he could also understand what Gu Qi said. The terrain in Yuzhong is flat, mostly plains, but at the same time there are mountains across, high and low, intercepting several areas. It just so happens that there are several areas outside Lushan County. Surrounded by moderately large hillsides, the mountain is not high, and it is not difficult to walk because of people coming and going. I don't think so. "Then, according to my nephew, we will solve the worries of the river and pond for the current plan, and we will find a way to manage the other rivers in the future. Liu Shou was thinking about it, and was about to ask Gu Qi about the specific implementation method of dredging the river pond, but he saw that Gu Qi was just sipping tea with a smile on his face, but he didn't intend to talk about it in detail at all. Obviously the previous talks were all good, but why did they stop at the critical moment? It was not luck that Liu Shouzheng was able to get to where he is today. The change destroyed Liu Shouzheng's originally expected rhythm, and made Liu Shouzheng temporarily fall into a passive situation. However, after only a moment, Liu Shouzheng returned to his original posture, stared at Gu Qi deeply for a long time, and said: "Nephew But is there a problem? This is the intention to give in. Gu Qi slowly put down the tea and said: "This time Xiao Ke brought the people around him to Yuzhong, one is to find someone, and the other is to find another way out for the family business.The original plan was to stay in Yuzhong for a few days, but seeing that the adults love the people like children, and they manage the inside and outside of Lushan County without closing the doors, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, Xiao Ke moved his mind to do some business in Lushan County. "Do not close the door at night? Live and work in peace and contentment?! The corners of Liu Shouzheng's mouth twitched when he heard the words. The only people in Lushan County who can keep the door open at night are the poor who have nothing and don't even care about thieves. Shops and commercial buildings are barely enough to live in, and happy business is simply nonsense. Of course, according to the current situation, even if Liu Shouzheng knows that this kid is full of nonsense, he will not pick faults on such insignificant words. After all It's easy to pick faults, pick people away, whoever pays money and food. Gu Qi completely ignored Liu Shouzheng's troubled facial expression, and just continued: "However, Xiaoke came out in a hurry this time, and the Qi family is not as good as a merchant." The Jianghu brothers of the Pedestrian Gang are capable, and the amount of money and rice they bring to Lushan County is limited. "Sure enough, here comes the important point! Liu Shouzheng's heart tightened, but his expression was fixed. He nodded and signaled Gu Qi to continue. "I don't want to hide it from my lord. The money Xiao Ke brought earlier was used to buy some shops in Lushan County. I bought a village with a few acres of fertile land outside the city, but there is not much left.The commercial market in the city has just opened, although it has made some money, it is only enough for the expenses of a group of brothers under him. "

Liu Shouzheng listened to the blue veins on his forehead twitching. Considering the prices of the things you sell in the mall, you still call it just a small profit, which is only enough for the expenses of your subordinates?

What else is a few acres of fertile land? Is it true that I don't know anything about the thousands of acres of land that your subordinates bought outside Luoshan Village?

Even the members of the Liuxing Street Pedestrian Gang couldn't say such cheeky words.

"My lord may not know that although Xiao Ke has some useful people, as long as the business is done, most of them can't leave. How can I pick out the fifty bodyguards mentioned above for my lord. Just now, my lord It is said that these 50 people should first notify the adults to repair the collapsed river sections, and they will not be able to spare other time after three to five days, so the project of repairing and digging ditches in the river pond will also be delayed. "

Liu Shouzheng paused in his heart, and said anxiously: "Didn't your nephew say earlier that the canal on your village was dug with the help of farm laborers on your village? Then the canal that goes down to the river pond can also be asked to go for a while. trip."

Gu Qi showed a look of embarrassment: "My lord, those farm laborers Xiao Ke didn't give them wages, but only allowed them to eat three times a day, which made these people willing to help Xiao Ke dig the canal outside the village."

This situation can be taken care of by eating three meals a day, which is much more attractive than Xu Shilaiwen's salary.

Liu Shouzheng became more and more puzzled, and said: "This is very good. If there is an urgent need for food and supplies, why worry about them not going to Xiahetang to start work?"

Gu Qi chuckled and shook his head: "These farm laborers will not leave Luoshan Village."

"Why is this?"

"The hired farmers were originally recruited to look after the fields in the village. Originally, the hired farmers were given two meals a day in exchange for taking care of the fields they were responsible for. Later, due to the repair of the canal, more people were added. After a late meal, it was the time of spring planting, and the growth rate of seedlings determined whether the farm laborers could receive rations every day before the autumn harvest, and if there were no accidents, these farm laborers could also receive the rations in the field after the autumn harvest. [-]% of the grain harvested. That’s why those farm laborers sincerely treat the fields in the village as their own, and they won’t leave Luoshan Village easily if they don’t have other important matters.”

Excuses, all excuses!

Liu Shouzheng suppressed his anger, and patiently persuaded: "Since these farm laborers have received the rations of my nephew, why not ask them to do more?

Although the matter of spring planting is important, if there is a real flood in Lushan County, it will be the people of the entire Lushan County who will suffer the most. There will be no eggs under the nest. At this time, we only strive for immediate interests, and wait until the building is irreparable. Wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?"

Liu Shouzheng's words were obviously talking about those farm laborers, but in fact he was pointing at Gu Qi, don't only care about immediate interests because of small losses, lest if you make a miscalculation, you will lose the whole game, and everyone will finish the game together.

Liu Shouzheng's words were not cryptic, so Gu Qi naturally understood.

However, this kind of thing has always been that whoever is anxious to give up the profit, even if it is a grasshopper on a rope, the one who can't stand it and lowers the bottom line of the negotiation must be the one who is afraid of death first.

Even after playing together, the way to die is different for the bold and the timid.
