Wang Qi had a faint smile on his lips when he heard what Cao Zhao and Zhong Chao said, but he was not satisfied.
Cao Zhao gave 30,000 shi of grain.
Zhongchao also gave 30,000 shi of food.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The food is given as a gift just for his sake.
Wang Qi was grateful to the two for their gift. After all, 30,000 shi of food was not a small amount. Such a batch of food can last a team of three thousand people for several months.
It¡¯s a pity that countless people will gather in Nanyang County under Wang Qi¡¯s rule. So at the moment, the food Wang Qi wants to raise is not just a little bit, but an extremely huge amount.
This cannot be solved by face.
There must be an exchange of interests.
Only in this way can both parties be willing to do so and not be unwilling to do so.
Wang Qi said: "Shopkeepers Cao and Zhong, you are both kind and righteous. I can't thank you enough. But this time, I need a lot of food, which cannot be solved by tens of thousands of stones. So, let's talk about food. .¡±
Cao Zhao frowned slightly, and there was a hint of doubt on his slightly larger face.
I don¡¯t understand what Wang Qi means.
Cao Zhao said: "Little Marquis, Shopkeeper Chen and Shopkeeper Zhong and I have been old friends for many years and talk about everything. According to Shopkeeper Chen, Chen Ji Trading Company and Mr. Wang have an irreconcilable relationship. As for Chen Ji Trading Company, , providing nearly 200,000 shi of food support.¡±
"Not to mention anything else, the 200,000 shi of food given by shopkeeper Chen will at least ensure that within this year, the young marquis's army will not be short of food and will not be affected by food."
Cao Zhao said: "Obviously the young Marquis is not short of food, why do you say there is not enough food? Can't solve the problem?"
Zhong Chao also had doubts on his face.
You must know that one stone of grain weighs about thirty kilograms based on the Zhou Dynasty's weight and measurement standards for two hundred thousand shi of grain. Two hundred thousand shi of grain, converted into nearly six million kilograms of grain.
Wang Qi¡¯s army, with a full strength of 10,000 men, consumes 500,000 to 600,000 kilograms of grain in a month, which can last for at least ten months. In addition to the food they donated, it was not a small number.
In fact, Chen Xiping also had some doubts.
"However, Chen Xiping knew about Wang Qi's situation, especially in Zhao Shaolai's letter, which stated his full support. Therefore, Chen Xiping had nothing to say, just that he would fully support Wang Qi.
Wang Qi looked at the confused three people and explained unhurriedly: "The reason why I say that it is not tens of thousands of stones of food that can solve the problem. It is because the food I got is not only for the army, but also for the people. "
"The food I get is not for sale."
"It is only used to provide relief to the people."
"The current population of Nanyang County is actually only tens of thousands, which is not a large number of people. However, Nanyang has now begun to recruit people to return to Nanyang, and also calls on people to live in Nanyang."
"Compared to the turmoil in Qingzhou, Nanyang County has stabilized after the bandits have been wiped out. It is foreseeable that many people from Qingzhou will enter Nanyang County."
Wang Qi continued: "Once there are more people, countless grains will be consumed every day. But this year, Nanyang County is occupied by bandits and there is no food at all. We must ensure the livelihood of the people, let them survive this year, and even support By next year, it will be almost difficult, and the problem cannot be solved by a little bit of food."
Zhong Chao nodded at this time. He generally understood what Wang Qi meant.
Cao Zhao frowned and said, "Little Marquis, this is difficult."
Wang Qishang smiled and said: "Even if there are difficulties, you must do it. After all, it is a matter of life and death. In fact, I can even foresee that at the end of this year, after another two or three months, people will gather in Nanyang The population will be greater."
"So, I need more food."
¡°I know it¡¯s definitely impossible to let Shopkeepers Cao and Zhong give away food for free.¡±
¡°After all, no one¡¯s money comes from the strong wind.¡±
¡°No one¡¯s food is picked up in vain.¡±
Wang Qi said: "Do you think this is what you mean?"
Zhong Chao and Cao Zhao nodded slightly.
They all agreed with Wang Qi¡¯s words, and because of these words, they had a good impression of Wang Qi.
Wang Qi continued: "My plan is very simple. I will give quotas to the Zhong family and the Cao family. If there are young talents or capable people in the two families, I will allow them to serve as officials in Nanyang County. "
"Now, I serve as the county magistrate of Nanyang County. When I take the next step, I will become the prefect of a county., I also promised to take them with me so that they can do things with me. "
"This is my promise to you."
"Then, Shopkeepers Cao and Zhong gave me support."
"Of course I can also promise that if you do business in Nanyang County, I can give you preferential treatment. When you do business in Nanyang County, you will be exempted from taxes and the government will give you profits."
Wang Qi had expectations in his eyes and asked: "You two, what do you think?"
When Cao Zhao and Zhong Chao heard this, they looked at each other with expressions of excitement on their faces.
If Wang Qi was just a county magistrate, the two of them would never pay attention to anything that could be done by officials in their family. However, Wang Qi was more than just a county magistrate.
Wang Qi is the son of Zhenbei Hou Wang Zongxi and the only heir to the Wang family in Youzhou.
In addition, Zhao Shao, the Minister of Household Affairs, is Wang Qi¡¯s future father-in-law. In addition, Wang Qi is also one of the great masters in the world, and he is also an official valued by the emperor.
Even Wang Qi has many backgrounds.
All the backgrounds added together represent Wang Qi¡¯s background.
Therefore, Wang Qi like this cannot be taken lightly. It would be too short-sighted to regard Wang Qi simply as a county magistrate. Because Wang Qi has a lot of background, it is certain that Wang Qi has a bright future.
It¡¯s worth investing in.
Cao Zhao thought about it carefully and said: "Little Marquis, there are two young people in my Cao family. One is my eldest son Cao Wenzhong, who is just twenty years old. The other is my nephew named Cao Wenxin, who is twenty years old." Four years old. I will send them to the young Marquis. My Cao family store will support the young Marquis with 150,000 shi of food."
Zhong Chao continued: "Little Marquis, there are two people in my Zhong family. One is my eldest son Zhong You, who is twenty-seven years old. He has been handling the business of the store with me and is good at settling accounts; the other is my second son Zhong You. Wei, twenty-two years old, studied in the shop, and is quite clever. Like Shopkeeper Cao, I support the young Marquis with 150,000 shi of grain."
Both of them paid a heavy price.
150,000 shi of food is not a small amount, it is almost their wealth. It is because Xuzhou is wealthy and two families have been in the grain business for generations that there are so many grain stores.
They originally wanted to make friends with Wang Qi and provide them with food.
Now that they can send their sons to work under Wang Qi, both of them are happy.
A businessman has a humble status after all.
If they could become officials and be promoted with Wang Qi, both of them would be happy to see success. No matter how high the price is, both of them are willing to do it. What scares you most is that if you want to pay a price in exchange for your children's future, you won't have a chance.
After Wang Qi heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
Three hundred thousand stones of grain.
This is a huge amount of food. Together with the 200,000 shi of food given by Chen Xiping, we have collected a total of 500,000 shi of food. Such a large amount of food is enough to support the actions of a large-scale legion.
With this batch of grain in Wang Qi¡¯s hands, Nanyang will have the confidence and foundation to develop.
At this point, I no longer have to worry about food shortages. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
