Chapter 111: The Value of Investment
Outside Wuyi County, there is a small river that is not big, but every time the flood season comes, the surrounding people suffer a lot. Year after year, the riverbed gradually rises, and when the flood comes, the harm is even greater, making both sides of the river slowly turn into wastelands, with rugged rocks and overgrown weeds.
Now the spring flood has passed for a long time, and the river water has faded. Only weeds growing wildly and stones washed down from the upstream by the water flowing down. In the middle, only three or four meters of water flowed by the water. Looking at the scene in front of you, it is hard to imagine his rushing momentum during the flood season.
Li Ze is now rectifying the river.
He did not conscript corvee labor, because most of the young and strong people in Wuyi were now recruited by him to join the army. The two troops he had just established were the two units he had just established.
Chen Congxing and Shi Zhuang led a part of them and were stationed on both sides of the river.
The management plan is very simple, which is to dig deep into the riverbed and sanitary bleeds to scrub the sand. In this way, the area of the riverbed will be greatly narrowed, but the water flow will become extremely fast. The silt dug out of the river channel is piled up on the original wasteland. After the sun drys them, these areas will become fertile fertile fields.
The river bank is made of those stones. It seems that there are a lot of stones on the river beach, but when it is really done, everyone finds that stones are far from enough.
Of course, Li Ze did not think that such a huge project could be completed in a short time. Anyway, do it slowly. Complete Wuyi City first. If this happens, then flooding will at least ensure that Wuyi City will not be threatened by floods.
The two troops each have one thousand people, working for half a day and training for half a day every day. Li Ze just did it with his hands. Now he is more focused on making this army more professional.
But even so, after eating and drinking, the two thousand young men were still very motivated to work. Although it was not long, Li Ze had already seen considerable results.
At his feet, a river channel of hundreds of meters was dug out, and black mud was lying on the beach behind him in piles. At his feet, the oblique river bank was inlaid with stones of all sizes. I had to admire the skills of the workers. The stones of different shapes and sizes were cleverly bitten together by them and they controlled each other. Li Ze squatted down and stretched out his hand and pulled it a few times, but it didn't move at all.
If he wanted to build a real embankment, it would cost money and labor, but Li Ze could not afford it now. Not to mention anything else, just using three-piece soil and glutinous rice juice to glue the stones, he would not even be able to bear it.
It was beyond his expectations to be able to achieve this situation.
He bent down and picked up a piece of dark mud from the ground, reached out and pinched it, and the mud powder that had been dried by the spring sun fell from his fingers.
"Next year, it will be full of lush crops and a good harvest." Looking at the river bank extending from both sides of the river, Li Ze tilted his head and said to Shi Zhuang beside him.
"Food is the foundation of the people. If you have food in your hands, you won't feel panic." Shi Zhuang smiled and said, "In fact, Wuyi is vast and sparsely populated. If you have enough population, there are still a lot of wastelands to be reclaimed. If you plant it carefully for a few years, you will become the best fertile land."
Li Ze nodded, but where can the population grow by saying that growth can grow? Judging from the current situation in the world, the melee is probably about to begin. Countless young and strong people are no longer working in the sun, but are fighting on the battlefield with swords and guns. No matter which side that wins in the end, those who fall down will never stand up again.
The large losses of the population cannot be compensated in a short period of time.
"Young Master is here to find me today. Do you have anything to say to me?" Shi Zhuang asked, looking at Li Ze who was worried.
Li Ze stared at the soldiers who were waving their hoes hard in the river and waving their hoes to dig the soil and transporting the soil onto the river bank for a long time. He said quietly: "Have you heard of Sihai Trading Company?"
Shi Zhuang was stunned for a while and nodded: "I heard of it before. Why, they have come to you, Young Master. From a certain aspect, this is a good thing! If these people don't like a certain person, they will never invest in this person."
Li Ze glanced at Shi Zhuang. He knew that his subordinates were not yet known, but Shi Zhuang never said it, so he never asked about it. The origin was not important, but what was important was whether he was the same as himself now. As for the current events and what happened in the future, who can explain it clearly! In the last life, many former comrades who worked hard with him worked hard, did they fight to the death on a battlefield without gunpowder?
The victory is high-sounding, and the failure is eliminated.
"Do you think they will fall in love with me now?" Li Ze asked back.
Shi Zhuang smiled and said, "With the current strength and situation of the young master, if they can fall in love with the young master, they will be unique. Young master, is there anything strange here?"
Li Ze came to Shi Zhuang about the incident where Gao Xiangsheng, the officer in charge of the military officer, came a few days ago, and told Shi Zhuang in detail about the generous donation.
"So that's it!" Shi Zhuang suddenly realized: "They are not interested in young masters, but Chen Bangzhao, right?"
"I think so too." Li Ze said a little annoyed: "Chen Bangzhao wants to enter the game now, but Cheng De, Zhenwu, and Henghai are determined not to let him enter the game. If the current situation continues like this, Chen Bangzhao's hope of entering the game is indeed not great."
"If the Chengde family won the war against Yingzhou this time, he would indeed have no chance to enter the game." Shi Zhuang said: "But if it fails, it's impossible."
"If we fail, everyone will be more strong in the game. Think about it, if we are defeated by Chengde, there will be a strong enemy outside and a strong dragon will come in our stomachs, who can bear it?" Li Ze snorted coldly.
"That's the reason. So after they learned about the young master, they felt that there was a great opportunity." Shi Zhuang stretched out his feet and kicked a stone down the river bank and landed in a flood. The water splashed everywhere. The originally clear water immediately became turbid." Only when Cheng De's water became chaotic can they have legitimate reasons and opportunities."
"When it gets messy, of course I focus on the grudge between me and Li Che." Li Ze said: "Now I know that before me and Li Che, it was not just a brotherly dispute. We were mixed with the deep blood hatred between my mother's family and Li Che's mother's family, and it was an endless ending. They pointed at our brothers and fought. Look at me, I am too weak now. If Li Che fights, I probably have no room for resistance, so I rushed to strengthen my strength. It would be better if our brothers fight to the sky and the sky is dark and the sun and the moon are gone, and their chances will be greater. Do you know? They not only give money, but also give a thousand people! A thousand armored soldiers in full armed manner."
Shi Zhuangda laughed: "It's a good thing. The young master is indeed not strong enough, so he just needs to use it."
"That's right, but it's still very difficult to operate." Li Ze was a little sad," and if things continue to develop along this way, it's really possible that they will do what they wish. I definitely can't beat Li Che now, but if I just guard Wuyi, I'm still a little sure. Wouldn't that be what they imagined?"
"What do you want to do?" Shi Zhuang asked directly.
Li Ze said quietly: "The Sihai Business Company is very powerful, right?"
"It is not only powerful, but also mysterious. Their chief has never surfaced. As far as I know, even when the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, was fighting for the world, they also made great efforts in it."
"Who are they?"
Shi Zhuang was silent for a moment: "If the young master is fine, he can go back and look at the collection of books at home and see what families have been standing at the top of the world for hundreds of years. Even if there are troughs in the middle, they can reshape their glory in the shortest time. A family fell from the top to the bottom and then regained its glory. Generally speaking, it is afraid that it will have to go through the efforts of several generations in the middle, but there are some exceptions."
"I understand, I know where to find clues." Li Ze's eyes lit up, "What I'm afraid of is that they have no trace. As long as they can find one of the lines and peel off the cocoon, they can dig them out. Humph, now they want to use me, one day, I will make them regret it."
"If they can feel that you are worthy of investment, then they can also be the greatest help." Shi Zhuang smiled and said, "These people are not only rich, but also have people. These people are not only ordinary people, but also countless talents with great knowledge and a beautiful mind. In this regard, these people have unique advantages."
"Then, how do you think they can feel that I have the value of investment?" Li Ze asked.
"If they want to make them feel that you have investment value, the first step is that the young master wants to become the master of virtue. Only by taking this position can they carefully examine the possibility of investing in the young master. Even if they do not regard the young master as the main investment target, they will definitely place some bets on the young master. Instead of just treating the young master as the target of utilization like now, they will only use the young master as the target of utilization." Shi Zhuang said.
"So that's how it is!" Li Ze murmured.
"If the young master didn't have a high enough stage and did not show enough ability, how could he catch the eyes of these people? Just like this now, it can be used as a knife. When used, it will naturally use it desperately. If it breaks, it will throw it away." Shi Zhuang said mercilessly.
Li Ze was silent for a moment, "If we count the time, the Battle of Yingzhou should have started at this time. For the specific situation, Hu Shier will send it back to us soon. After we get this, we will discuss other things."
After saying this, Li Ze turned around and walked towards Wuyi County in the distance.
