Chongxi [rebirth]

In the governor's mansion, several officials gathered together.

Yang Buwei was among them.

Ye Yunting put forward his ideas one by one and discussed the feasibility with his officials.He had never participated in the affairs of Weizhou City before, and he didn't know enough about Weizhou City, so he felt a little uneasy after he finished speaking, worried that his proposal was just empty talk.

Several officials who participated in the discussion had never thought about this aspect before, but after listening carefully to what Ye Yunting said, they felt that it was not completely unfeasible.

The northern border is vast, but very cold and barren.As a result, the population is not abundant. If we can take advantage of the opportunity to attract refugees, let these refugees take root in northern Xinjiang and expand the population of northern Xinjiang, which will have great benefits in the future.

The plan of building an outer city to attract refugees was very much agreed by several participating officials, and after they put forward some perfect suggestions, someone mentioned Ye Yunting's other proposal.

"If we only recruit people in Weizhou City, it is feasible to rush to produce a batch of winter clothes for the army. If we expand to other state capitals, it may be difficult to implement, and the risk is also great."

Ye Yunting's proposal is naturally good, directly recruit refugees locally, set up a clothing workshop, and sell a batch of winter clothes at a high price after rushing to make a profit.But this is easier said than done.No matter how cold the winter is, it will last until the beginning of spring next year.Once the winter is over, what about those refugees, what about the garment workshop?

What's more, it takes time to deploy people in various state capitals, not to mention the need for space to make winter clothes later, and after the production is completed, you need to find a home to sell...

As long as they think about it, they feel that this matter is very difficult, and the difference between the effort and investment is too big, and it is not a good deal.

Someone started it, and others echoed it, saying they were not optimistic about it.

When Ye Yunting put forward this proposal, he also anticipated the current situation.After all, this is a cold winter that is rare in a century. According to past experience, after one month, the weather will gradually start to warm up.But he carefully recalled his previous life, and he remembered exactly that this winter had lasted for a long time, and it was not until the end of March that he finally recovered.

At that time, he was imprisoned in the palace. Although he didn't know the situation outside, he remembered exactly how he felt at that time.

There is no charcoal fire to keep warm in winter, so he can only find dead branches to keep warm.The daily hope is that the winter will pass quickly.

It’s not yet the new year, and there are still three months before this cold winter ends.Three months is enough to do many things, and now Beizhao is full of chaos, whether it is the rebels of the Yin family or the rebels, if they want to march and fight, they cannot lack winter clothes.Instead of letting them buy it from elsewhere, it is better for him to make this money.

Ye Yunting couldn't say that he had memories of his previous life, knowing that this winter would last until March, he could only vaguely explain it using astronomical phenomena.

"The theory of celestial phenomena is unpredictable. How can it be used as evidence?" Yang Buwei, who had never spoken, shook his head and said: "I can understand that the princess is thinking about the northern border, but if she is too hasty, she will do bad things with good intentions."

What Yang Buwei said was not unreasonable, but when Ye Yunting met his gaze, he always subtly felt that he was targeting him.

Thinking of the last conflict, Ye Yunting's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't insist anymore, but said: "This matter is indeed risky, but since ancient times, wealth and wealth have been sought in danger. If you don't agree with this proposal, it will not be considered as a business in the Dudu Mansion. It’s just my personal business, I’m responsible for the profit and loss alone.”

Yang Buwei frowned: "It's better for the princess not to be brave. Now that the situation is complicated, she hastily dispatched people to the various states. If it attracts attention and brings the flames of war to the northern border, the princess can't afford it." He aggravated slightly. Tone: "Besides...if the concubine wants to do business, is it possible that the prince will sit idly by?"

He looked like he was thinking about Beijiang and the prince, but what he said was clearly implying that Ye Yunting had to rely on King Yong'an for his support in the end.

Zhu Lie at the side was a little unhappy when he heard the words. Since the last time, he had a vague feeling that Yang Buwei had something against the princess.If you feel that Ye Yunting's proposal is too risky, the Governor's Mansion should just not participate.Ye Yunting does business in his own name, whether he makes money or loses money has nothing to do with the Dudu Mansion, so other people naturally have no right to comment.

When Yang Buwei said this, it was inevitable that he was suspected of deliberately antagonizing Ye Yunting.

He was also familiar with Yang Buwei, and he didn't beat around the bush when he spoke, and said mercilessly: "Yang Buwei, I don't want you to pay, so I don't want to be alarmist. I think Wang Hao's proposal is very good. If you can kill Yin severely With a small fortune, you can wake up from your dreams with a smile.”

Yang Buwei's face changed slightly, and he wanted to say something, but someone behind him said: "Zhu Lie is right."

Everyone turned their heads to look, but they saw Li Fengqi striding forward, standing beside Ye Yunting, and said with a calm face: "Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, if you are as timid as you, you dare not take any risk, the gold mine in Zhouju Town is now It's still in the hands of the Yin family."

Although he didn't target a specific person, his words were close to pointing at Yang Buwei's nose and scolding him.

Yang Buwei clenched his sleeves into fists, barely changing his expression.

It was the others, after hearing the words and thinking about it, they felt that what Wang Ye said was right.There are risks in everything. If you only want to be safe, you can only watch the opportunity slip away.

While they were hesitating, Li Fengqi turned his head and said to Ye Yunting: "Isn't the gold you robbed from the Yin family still untouched? It just happens to be used as capital."

Using the gold snatched from the Yin family as the capital, he bought raw materials and recruited people to rush to make winter clothes, and then sold them to the Yin family at a high price. It didn't cost him a penny, but he earned double the money of the Yin family.Just think about it.

Zhu Lie said with a smile: "If the princess is doing business, bring me one. I have to show my wife's book, maybe I can do it a few times."

Ye Yunting smiled, knowing that they were deliberately supporting him, and said: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run."

"Don't worry." Li Fengqi glanced at the strangely silent Yang Buwei: "Now that the discussion is over, let's break up."

A few officials thought about it, and didn't think about whether the deal was worth it or not. In the end, Li Fengqi ended their hesitation with one sentence. Obviously, he didn't intend to take the public account. They could only shake their heads when they saw this, thinking There are also gold mines left and right, and Northern Xinjiang is not short of money now.There is no need to make great efforts to do this business that is likely to lose money.

The officials left together one after another, and finally there were only three of Ye Yunting left.

Zhu Lie sat down carelessly, took a sip of tea, and looked at Li Fengqi wonderingly: "Is there something wrong with Yang Buwei recently? Why didn't I think he was so narrow-minded before? Could it be that he still remembers what happened last time?"

The last time Yang Buwei was threatened by the wolf king, it was clearly him who made the rude remarks first.From Zhu Lie's point of view, how can he still have the guts to hold grudges when he speaks rudely and is inferior to others?

Ye Yunting looked surprised, but he didn't expect Zhu Lie to be so keen.

Because there is no conclusive evidence, the two of them have not disclosed the matter of Yang Buwei's problem to Zhu Lie and others, but they just kept their minds on it.It didn't occur to Zhu Lie that he noticed the abnormality first.

"You can still use your brain once in a while." Li Fengqi glanced at him and said.

"????"

Zhu Lie was so wronged, what does it mean to be able to use it occasionally?

But he didn't dare to refute, he could only stare at Ye Yunting, folded his hands together and bowed: "God of Wealth, my wife should have been handed over to you!"

He wasn't joking when he said just now, in his opinion, just because of her courage to snatch something from the Yin family, the princess is not a mortal.

How poor Beijiang used to be, he stared at the little money in the prince's private treasury for three days and two days, and had to deduct and calculate for a long time when buying something, but the princess immediately snatched back a gold mine!

A gold mine, he never dared to dream about it before.Looking at the account books now, one can enjoy himself for a long time.

Zhu Lie firmly believed that if he followed the concubine, he would definitely make a fortune.

The group of cowards were timid, but because of nothing, Zhu Lie cursed in his heart.But when he thought about it, his wife might have doubled, so he became happy again.

Looking at Ye Yunting's eyes is like looking at a big dog with fleshy bones.

Ye Yunting laughed: "I don't guarantee that I will make a profit without losing money."

Zhu Lie chuckled: "I believe in the princess!"

Li Fengqi gave him a disgusted look. Although Zhu Lie often did some embarrassing things, he always had a good eye.He thought for a while, and reminded him a few words: "These days, pay more attention to Yang Buwei."

Unexpectedly, he would say this, Zhu Lie was slightly taken aback, and then realized something.

In the past, he only thought that Yang Buwei was having trouble with the princess, and this matter is not a big deal, but now the prince specifically mentions it, indicating that there may be other things going on here.He didn't ask any more questions, he hammered his left chest with his right hand, and said, "I see."

***

In the end, Ye Yunting took the lead in starting the clothing workshop.

Ye Yunting was in the middle to support it, and Zhu Lie was responsible for the specific implementation.As long as there is silver, the purchase of raw materials is not a problem.After spending four or five days buying all the raw materials and preparing the site, Zhu Lie posted a notice to recruit workers for the needlework.

Now this season, the city is closed by heavy snow, and the business of various shops is deserted.Naturally, it does not require too much manual work.The garment factory opened by Ye Yunting suddenly recruited a large number of people, not limited to age, and all the refugees from outside the city flocked here.

Due to the large number of people, both male and female, old and young, Zhu Lie was in trouble for a while.How to filter this?

In the end, Ye Yunting came forward and took everyone in, but set a one-day assessment period.

——The 500 people who did the fastest and best work in one day can stay and work.In the future, the winter clothes that will be produced in a hurry will be paid according to the quantity, and they will be settled once a day, and the rest who fail the assessment will receive a bowl of gruel, although they will not be paid.

With the threshold, many people who want to make up for it can only leave angrily.Those who stayed were those who really knew how to make clothes, and most of them were women.

After checking and accepting the results the next morning, the 500 people who worked best were left behind.As for those who failed to stay, even though they were disappointed, they could not feel any resentment when holding the thick hot porridge.

At least they saw a glimmer of hope to live again.

At this time, someone saw Ye Yunting coming down from the horse, holding the porridge in his hand and boldly asked: "Will the princess still recruit people? This time, my hands are frozen and I am not flexible. If there is a next time, I will definitely be selected!"

Before the words fell, several voices echoed.Some men even mixed in and said: "We can't make clothes, but we must be able to endure hardships in other jobs!"

Ye Yunting, who came to inspect the garment factory, paused, followed his reputation, and saw a few refugees in ragged clothes, both men and women, and of different ages. The only thing in common was that all of them had haggard faces. His eyes were bright, full of longing.

This is the hope for life.

Ye Yunting thought for a while, then smiled and said: "There will be, everyone pay more attention to the notices in the city, if you want to recruit workers, I will order people to post notices." He paused, and then said: "The situation is difficult now, but the prince has never We have given up on the common people, and we will persevere for a while, and the outer city will be expanded soon, and then everyone will have a chance."

Hearing what he said, many people laughed while holding porridge bowls, their expressions of despair and depression dissipated, and they were filled with hope again.

These refugees are like weeds that grow tenaciously in the crevices. They are fragile, but if they get a little sunshine and rain, they can grow tenaciously again.

Looking at the expectant faces, Ye Yunting felt his chest throbbing.

……

When returning to the Governor's Mansion in the evening, Ye Yunting told Li Fengqi about this scene: "I think the movement is still too slow now, it needs to be faster."

He can wait, but those refugees who have nowhere to stay in the ice and snow can't wait.After waiting one more day, countless people died silently in the cold winter.

"Well, what you said about opening garment factories in other state capitals, I thought about it, and I have another idea." Ye Yunting looked up at him with great interest: "What idea, tell me?"

Li Fengqi played with his fingers, and said: "The situation is chaotic now, there are refugee uprisings in every state capital, if the number of these rebels continues to expand and get out of control, it will be a hindrance in the future. Yang Buwei was right about one thing earlier, we should do more Put some people in."

Northern Xinjiang is remote, and the news has to lag behind.If it is possible to use the guise of doing business to spread out the manpower and establish strongholds, the message transmission will be more timely.

Ye Yunting understood what he meant, "You mean...?"

"I'll assign a group of people to you. Arrange it as you please." Li Fengqi pecked at his fingertips: "Obviously they are doing business, but secretly they are sending us news."

"Then I'd better have a fake identity." Ye Yunting said right away: "Otherwise others can easily guess the key."

Li Fengqi nodded, and the smile in his eyes deepened: "It's just that the princess will have to work hard in the future."

Listening for information will definitely take more effort than simply doing business.But at present, no other suitable person can be found, and Ye Yunting is the most suitable person.

However, Ye Yunting shook his head, and the corners of his lips curved: "This is not hard work." For him, the hardest part was the time when he was imprisoned in the palace as a caged bird.

Every day today, although busy, is very happy.

After speaking, a few new ideas flashed through his mind, he hastily withdrew his hand from Li Fengqi's palm, put on his coat and got off the couch and said, "I think of something again, I have to write it down first, so as not to forget it tomorrow. Go to bed first .”

Li Fengqi's hands were empty: "..."

Looking at Ye Yunting's shining eyes, he sighed deeply.

That's all, as long as the princess is happy.
