Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

If so many people participate in the weaving of bamboo ware, one can imagine how many bamboo ware will be produced!

Moreover, according to the news brought back by the butler, those things called "bamboo stools", "bamboo chairs" and "bamboo beds" are very delicate, and I am afraid they will not worry about selling them.

Once the bamboo furniture sells well and the victims make a profit, they will be in danger!

The dozen or so gentry felt as if there was a steel knife hanging above their heads, which might cut at them at any time and cut their flesh!

If the acquired land is redeemed because the victims made money, then everything they have done in the past few months will be in vain!

Among the wealthy gentry, someone couldn't help but said: "Old Chen, we can't let the chief executive's mansion succeed so easily."

Chen Ran's face was cold, and he knew what consequences this matter would cause, needless to be told by others. After thinking for a while, he said:

"The General Manager's Office will let those victims start making bamboo tools tomorrow."

"We still have time."

"Now, go back immediately and send someone to register at the General Manager's Mansion, and learn how to weave bamboo tools with those victims tomorrow."

Chen Ran squinted his eyes and said, "When our people learn how to weave bamboo tools, we will do whatever the Grand Manager's Mansion is doing at that time!"

Hearing this, a dozen gentry couldn't help but frowned.

"Mr. Chen, isn't this going to cooperate with the General Manager's Office and help the victims make money?"

Among the gentry, a middle-aged man said in confusion.

The other gentry looked at Chen Ran in confusion.

Why did the General Manager's Office come up with the weaving of bamboo tools, in order to give the victims a chance to make money.

If you follow the example of the General Manager's Office, wouldn't it also help the victims of the disaster to make money?

The disaster victims make money, and they are the ones who are in danger!

Chen Ran looked at them and said, "You guys, your thinking is too simple!"

"My old man asks you, the General Manager's Mansion asked the victims to weave bamboo tools. Did they give money after weaving the bamboo tools?"

Hearing this, more than a dozen gentry were shocked, and they suddenly realized something.

Chapter 263 Stealth!Arrangements by the Grand Chancellor's Office

With a smile on Chen Ran's old face, he stroked his beard and said lightly:

"The General Manager's Mansion, if you have money, you should have given money to the victims long ago. What's the use of teaching them how to work as a bamboo craftsman and how to make bamboo utensils?"

"At the end of the day, what Zhang Dun wants to do is work for relief."

As he spoke, he paused.

Only at this moment did he understand what the so-called work-for-relief was all about.

The victims were asked to weave bamboo tools, and then the General Manager's Office sold the bamboo tools, and the money from the sale was distributed to the victims.

A virtuous circle.

benefit each other!

Chen Ran couldn't help but admire Zhang Dun's method.

However, he has Zhang Liang's plan, and it's not like he didn't pass the wall ladder!

Chen Ran glanced at the crowd, and said: "The chief manager's mansion is a great move. After helping the victims earn money, it's time to deal with us. Once the victims redeem all the land we annexed, the east The natural disaster of the Dao will be completely over."

"As for us, the bamboo basket fetches water in vain!"

"So, what we need to do is to immediately send people to the Chief Manager's Mansion to learn how to weave bamboo!"

"Once we learn it, we can 'help' the Chief Manager's Mansion!"

The corners of Chen Ran's lips curled up slightly, and he said, "If the victims want to get money, they have to wait until the General Manager's Mansion sells the bamboo tools, and then they can give the victims the money."

"But we are different. We can let the victims come to us to weave bamboo tools. We can give them money if we weave a bamboo tool!"

Seeing that some of the gentry were hesitant to speak, Chen Ran waved his hand, telling him to listen first, and continued: "Of course, we can't give all the money at once, can we give [-]%!"

"When the victims see the money, they will continue to stay in the chief manager's mansion to help weave bamboo tools, or come to our place. The choice is obvious."

Chen Ran looked at the crowd with a smile and said, "Without the disaster victims helping us to weave bamboo tools, there will be nothing to sell in the chief manager's mansion. If we can't sell things, naturally there will be no money for the disaster victims."

Among the wealthy gentry, someone couldn't help but said: "According to what Mr. Chen said, we had a lot of bamboo utensils in our hands at that time. Are we going to sell them?"

"Sell? Sell a fart!"

Chen Ran sneered and said, "If we sell it, don't we get the victims' money? The victims have money, so they can't redeem the land from us? We don't want to lift a rock to shoot ourselves in the foot. Dry!"

Seeing everyone's puzzled faces, Chen Ran tapped the table with his fingers, and said with a sarcastic smile on his face:

"At that time, we can tell the victims that we sold the bamboo tools, but on the way, a fire broke out, was robbed by bandits, or fell into a cliff and was washed away by the water. You can find any excuses. Come out."

"In short, just one sentence."

"If the things are gone, naturally you can't sell them for money, and if you can't sell them for money, naturally you can't give them the money."

Chen Ran said lightly: "At that time, subsidize them a little bit, and the matter will be over."

"As for those bamboo utensils, if they can be sold, the money they make will fall into our pockets?"

After hearing his words, more than a dozen gentry breathed a sigh of relief, with smiles on their faces.

good idea!

If this is the case, not only will they not lose because of it, but they will get more!

At the same time, the victims will not get much money, and they can destroy the plan of the chief executive's office!

"Master Chen is brilliant."

"Elder Chen still has a way!"

More than a dozen gentry smiled and praised Chen Ran.

Among them, someone hesitated and said: "Old Chen, but in this way, the victims may not trust us, and will go to the chief manager's mansion again."

Chen Ran sneered, and said, "We can take care of it. For example, we promised those disaster victims that we would save 50 pieces of bamboo furniture and then sell them out."

"50 pieces, how long do you have to save? Not half a year, but three or two months."

"If you really have enough savings, let's tell the victims that someone wants 100 million pieces at a time, so just keep dragging."

Chen Ran picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and slightly raised the corner of his mouth, "At that time, no matter what, it can be delayed until the end of the year, and the plan of the chief manager's mansion should be delayed."

Understood!

A dozen or so gentry were immediately awed, "We'll send people there now!"

Chen Ran hummed, looked at them solemnly, and said, "Remember, the most important thing at the moment is to send someone to learn how to weave bamboo tools, you must learn it!"

"If you can't learn, our plan will not be implemented!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen!" The gentry nodded one after another, and someone said with a smile: "The people we send are all smart and quick to learn!"

Chen Ran showed a smile on his face, "Thank you for your hard work!"

----

The next day, it was bright.

The disaster victims who had been registered yesterday all went towards the chief manager's mansion.

Among the victims, more than a dozen young people from the Chen family and various gentry families flocked to the chief manager's mansion along the crowd.

Every young man looked very solemn, and there was a lot of energy in his heart, he must learn how to weave bamboo tools and bring them back!

When they came to the chief executive's mansion, the victims saw Zhang Dun in an official robe standing at the door with a smile on his face.

Beside him stood two imperial envoys in purple official robes.

It was Changsun Wuji and Du Yan!

Cheng Yaojin stood beside them, while Ma Yuangui and Lu Zizang stood at the end.

"There are so many people here."

Cheng Yaojin looked at the huge crowd of victims, and said with a click of his tongue: "There must be 1 people here?"

Du Yan said solemnly: "There are more people than we expected."

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Dun.

Zhang Dun said with a smile: "It's better if there are more people, the more the better."

He glanced back at Ma Yuangui and Lu Zizang, and said in a low voice, "Boss Ma, Lu Changshi, you can start now."

"it is good!"

Ma Yuangui nodded, and waved his palm as he walked quickly towards the victims.

In an instant, under the leadership of Han Xing and Wang Feng, hundreds of soldiers in armor rushed out from the chief executive's mansion.

"All the folks and elders, line up!"

Lu Zizang walked side by side with him, and shouted to the victims at the top of his voice: "Every 200 people in a team, follow the soldiers of the chief manager's mansion!"

Nearly [-] disaster victims couldn't help but look at each other. Although they didn't understand why this happened, they still started to line up according to what Lu Zizang said.

Ma Yuangui and Lu Zizang led the soldiers and carefully counted the number of people. Every time there were 200 people, one of the soldiers would lead them to a house not far from the chief executive's mansion.

Nearly 200 victims were divided into [-] teams, each with [-] people.

Ma Yuangui and Lu Zizang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Or Zhang Shaoyin had the foresight.

Starting from yesterday, according to what Zhang Dun said, they vacated all the houses around the chief executive's mansion.

Originally, they thought that it would be enough to make thirty houses.

But Zhang Dun insisted that thirty houses were not enough, at least eighty houses.

Fortunately, there were a lot of preparations, otherwise it would really not be able to accommodate so many victims.

At this time, the victims followed the government soldiers in an orderly manner and walked into various houses.

More than a dozen young people from the Chen family and the gentry's family gathered together in the same house.

It's finally time to start!

A dozen or so young people were gearing up, with a resolute look on their faces, as if they would never give up.

At this moment, a footstep sounded.

Everyone looked back and saw Zhang Dun walking in with a smile on his face.

Chapter 264 Assembly line, put an end to all bad things

"I met Zhang Shaoyin."

The victims hurriedly turned around and bowed to Zhang Dun to the end.

Zhang Dun nodded with a smile, pressed his hands down out of thin air, and said in a gentle voice, "Sit down."

When everyone sat on the ground, Zhang Dun also sat on the ground with them.

The victims were somewhat flattered.

What is Zhang Dun's identity?

The imperial envoy sent by the imperial court!

As for them, they are nothing more than a group of victims who have been displaced and have nothing to eat.

But Zhang Dun was willing to sit on the ground with them.

In an instant, everyone felt that the distance between them and Zhang Dun had been shortened, and they looked at Zhang Dun with a little more kindness.

Zhang Dun turned his head and looked around. There were bamboos all around him. He smiled kindly and said, "Your task today is to weave bamboo chairs."

"Come on, I'll teach you how to do it."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Dun picked up a piece of bamboo, put it in his hand and began to peel it.

More than a dozen young people looked serious, staring at his palm intently.
