Chapter 911: Going South with Money
I don't have much money left, so I'll just buy as many of these things as I can. Things will recover over there soon, and by the time people in the north get the news, the prices won't be that low anymore.
Is she one of the first ones to get the news?
Zhang Lian and the others should not have revealed it yet?
The whole hall was in an uproar in an instant, everyone was clapping their hands on the table excitedly, it made one's blood boil just by listening to it.
Zhou Guo stretched out his hand to suppress it, and said: "Not many people have received the news yet, so we should keep a low profile and take action as soon as possible while the market is good."
Everyone fell silent.
She continued, "Okay, now let's discuss the specifics. The results will come out before dawn. After dawn, each of you must take the money and go south."
A group of people sat upright, without any smiling faces, looking extremely serious.
Everyone present is an elite with rich experience. Zhou Guo only needs to say it once and they can remember it. Some can even apply it to other situations. It is really worry-free to use.
Erpang was writing quickly without raising his head for a long time, while Dashu and Xiaoshu were waiting on the side with pens and ink.
By the beginning of the Mao hour, almost everything had been discussed.
Zhou Guo took out a big box full of banknotes. She looked at them and said, "There are two hundred thousand taels in total. Most of the money earned over the years has been invested in water conservancy. There is still some left here. Take all the money. How much you can buy depends on your ability."
When everyone looked at this ordinary box and heard that there were two hundred thousand taels inside, their eyes almost popped out.
Two hundred thousand taels?!
They could never earn that much money in their entire lives. How could they spend these two hundred thousand taels in their lifetime?
Hu Zi came up and distributed money to everyone. There were three people in a group, and each group had a leader.
There are four groups looking for shops, each group offers 10,000 taels, and two groups looking for houses, each group offers 10,000 taels.
This means 60,000 taels are gone, leaving 140,000 taels.
Forty thousand Zhou Guo gave Quanzi, "You still have to find this manor. You go with Da Pang. You have also stayed in the manor for some time. I believe you know better than me what kind of manor is a good manor. I will leave this matter to you."
The two nodded.
After giving Wu Jiang 80,000 taels, Zhou Guo said, "You are not only going south to look at the land this time, but more importantly, you are going to look after them. After all, they are young and cannot handle many things. You have to step in at this time."
That is, a leader.
Wu Jiang said: "I understand."
Zhou Guo was relieved and clapped his hands, "Let's eat. After dinner, take a rest for an hour or two and then you can leave."
Servants came in one after another carrying trays.
They are all young people. After the meeting, they will think about what they are going to do and become so excited that they can’t sleep. They just finish their meal and leave.
Zhou Guo said, "The journey is not short. It won't be too late to go after a night of rest."
"No, Master, we can't sleep right now. It would be a waste of time if we lie in bed. Didn't you ask us to hurry? We'll leave now. Don't worry, we will definitely buy more shops. When the grain harvest is good this year, we can open our grain shop over there."
Who can sleep well when something as big as this happens?
They had huge sums of money on them and felt that they were doing something very remarkable. They had already thought about how many shops they wanted to buy with the money and where to buy them.
Wu Jiang followed them. He had to go and look around. He couldn't take every last corner. He was afraid that these people, with all the money in their pockets, would be like rats falling into a rice warehouse, wanting everything they saw without any scruples.
When everyone had left, only Huzi and Erpang were left.
No one spoke.
Zhou Guo rubbed his brows. He had not slept well these days. He said to the others, "I'll take a nap. You guys go down and have a rest."
He fell asleep on the couch with his clothes on.
When I opened my eyes again, it was noon. Hu Zi and the others were already up, waiting for instructions.
Zhou Guo took them and the old man back to Song County. The rice had just been fertilized and everything was fine.
After visiting several counties, I returned to Cangshan Village.
When Mrs. Li saw her coming back, she asked a series of questions before she even sat down, "What's going on? Why were all the grains moved out? Where did they go? How much grain do we have left? Did we sell it?"
They just followed the others in moving the food and knew that they had to give it away, but they didn't know where to move it to and to whom. It would be difficult to ask Wu Jiang about such things, as it would seem that the masters knew nothing.
Zhou Guo sat down and asked the maids to leave. Then he said, "I'll give all the food in the house to my uncle."
"Ah? Isn't your uncle at the border? Is there a war at the border again?" Li was very surprised, and Zhou Mai and others were also surprised.
Zhou Guo did not hide the truth from them and told them roughly what happened. "All the food in the family was given away. Now there are only some grains stored in various farms and some grain stores left, but it can last until the autumn harvest."
The whole family was so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths and looked at each other.
Zhou Mai said: "So this means that General Xu is heading south now to compete for that position?"
Pointing to the sky?
Everyone widened their eyes and looked at Zhou Guo.
Zhou Guo said: "From what my uncle said, maybe there is."
The whole family's eyes widened and they gasped in shock at the news.
Zhou Guo said: "Don't tell anyone about this news. The news now is that the army is still at the border and has not moved south. So if you have heard this news today, just pretend you didn't hear it. Don't let any wind leak out, lest it ruin the big thing! This kind of thing is not a joke!"
Everyone nodded involuntarily.
Li murmured, "I know we know. If we tell anyone about this, we will be beheaded!"
Zhou Mi's eyes lit up surprisingly. "If this can be accomplished, then my uncle will be a founding general. He will definitely be named a general, and our Zhou family will be a noble family?"
Zhou Su was even more excited. "Then can we go to the capital? Can we find dad and uncle?"
Everyone fell silent, their eyes becoming brighter and brighter. Yes, whether it was a person or a corpse, they would be able to find it by then, right?
Zhou Gu poured cold water on him, "It's not that easy. I think it will take many years."
The family built up quickly, but the food at home had been stored for many years. He could see that it was not easy to do anything.
Zhou Guo nodded, "That's right. This matter won't have a result in a short time. You must not leak the news when you go out on weekdays, and don't mention it in your words. It's best to forget what I said when you leave this room."
Everyone nodded and said they would remember it.
Fortunately, Xiaohua went to bed, otherwise I would be afraid that the child would yell outside.
Zhou Mai still had questions, "The generals have all gone south, what should we do with the border? What's the situation in the north? Will they not defend it?"
After all, what they are most closely related to now is the border. Once the border is broken and the enemy's iron hooves march south, none of them will be able to escape.
