Cheng Bokang looked at Wu You, who looked very proud, and sighed, "I have no money. All my money belongs to His Majesty. You know what your master said. We can spend as much as we want, but we cannot save money.
It is better to pass on skills to your descendants than to pass on savings to them. As long as they have skills that can be used by Your Majesty, you will have a lifetime of wealth and glory. Over the years, the people of Yuzhou have basically achieved the goal of valuing inheritance over wealth. In this case, who do you think will have much money?"
Wu You said dissatisfiedly: "I don't care whose money it is. I have intercepted it anyway. I will use it first and then talk about it. Just put it on my account."
"It's easy if you admit it." Cheng Bokang nodded and then asked, "How much money do you want to intercept?"
Wu You hesitated for a moment and said, "We need a few hundred thousand strings of cash, otherwise we won't be able to make ends meet."
"This amount of money is no problem. Please write a detailed document and specify the purpose in detail. For such a large amount of money, His Majesty will personally review it."
Wu You handed Cheng Bokang a piece of white paper and said, "It's ready. I will also dispatch your fleet."
The wages in Yuzhou are much higher than elsewhere. A large number of manpower is needed during the autumn harvest in June and July every year, as well as the two months before and after the New Year. This requires people from nearby counties and cities to travel for ten days or half a month to come here to earn money.

"This first year must be hard, how about waiting another year?"
Of course, if you have enough financial resources and don't need any support, you can go along. As long as you move around in the area surrounded by the Pakistani soldiers, your safety will be guaranteed. However, you will have to figure out your own food, clothing, housing and transportation. At least you will have to support yourself throughout the journey and the first year.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I care about your reputation more than anyone else in the world."
"Er Gouzi, do you want to go to the Northeast?"
"Of course I have to go. I wanted to move to the farm that year, but my family disagreed and wanted to wait and see how things would turn out. As a result, the farm had to have a certificate from Yuanzhou County the following year to settle down. But Yuanzhou County would never let anyone go. If they dared to let anyone go, they would all run away . Do you believe it? Oh, it's sad to talk about it. My family also regrets it, but it's too late to regret. This opportunity has come again, and of course I can't miss it. My family and I have discussed it and we will move here some other day. I will live in Yuzhou for a few days first, and then go to Youzhou with the eldest lady."
With the ability of the Grand Steward, the development of Yushui was also done while laying the foundation, growing step by step. It took three years to develop to a population of one million. Do you think you can compare with the Grand Steward?"
This time, we from Yuzhou are leaving for the borderland, and many eyes are watching us. If you mess things up, not only will our Yuzhou clan suffer heavy losses, but the great steward's reputation will also be ruined in your hands."
Wu You smiled and said, "So, I plan to first bring a group of Yuzhou people over to seize the place, and then use the Yuzhou people as a base to attract people from the Jianghuai area and along the canal. In this way, the Northeast will not be short of people.
Wu You raised his eyebrows and said, "The situation is different now. Sir, you started from scratch and built up your business from nothing. Now I have the entire imperial farm as my backing, and I have no shortage of supplies and manpower. The situation is completely different."
Cheng Bokang thought for a moment and nodded, "Your place is indeed suitable for relocating people. After all, you can directly paddle a bamboo raft to Youzhou. Even if you walk fifty miles a day, it won't take much time to reach your destination."
"It's okay to wait for a month, but I have to use your fleet before the autumn harvest this year."
The Yuzhou faction was managing a remote border area. The decision was made by the chief steward, who sent out several of his most proud disciples, and with the emperor's strong support, the news spread, shocking the world.
"There are Hu people in the Western Regions and the desert, and mountain people in Lingnan. The Northeast is truly vast and sparsely populated. I plan to relocate the people there. The rivers are calm in this season, so the young and strong can just take a bamboo raft, but the elderly and some supplies will have to rely on your big ship."
As a result, hundreds of thousands of migrant workers in Yuzhou were immediately attracted.
Cheng Bokang looked up and asked in surprise: "It took you so long, what do you want to do?"
First of all, the people of Yuzhou showed great interest. As the group of people who benefited the most from following Wang Zheng, they naturally had absolute confidence in Wang Zheng.
Wu You's Northeast was open to recruiting people. Not only were their food and drink provided along the way, but they also received generous subsidies in the first year, so at least they didn't have to worry about food problems.
Cheng Bokang took the information and read it while saying, "The fleet will have to wait for a month. You can stay with the town then. Now is the sugarcane harvest season, so there is no fleet available."
Cheng Bokang thought for a moment and said in a serious tone: "Okay, you just need to understand the situation, but don't mess it up, this is not just your problem.
As long as we have the manpower, with the capabilities of our Yuzhou group, are we still worried that we won't be able to develop the Northeast?"
Cheng Bokang pondered for a moment and said, "It's a good idea, but you're bringing so many people over in the early stages. The pressure of resettlement will be huge, and all kinds of problems will increase exponentially. Have you thought about the difficulty?
These people have long been envious of the farms along the Yushui River. Although the four borderlands have their own shortcomings, the chief steward is very powerful. Wasn't the Yushui River barren before? But since the chief steward came, this place has become more prosperous year by year. Now it has become the richest place in the whole Tang Dynasty. Living in the farms not only does not worry about food and clothing, but also the children will have a good future in the future, and their lives are settled.
"Wait another year, bullshit. Do you believe that if we wait another year, the other three places will have to be allocated by the imperial court before we can settle down?"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you think everyone else is stupid? There are many smart people in the world. Who doesn't know that following the steward can make you rich and live a good life? Wait another year? Believe it or not, there won't be a good place even if you wait another half a year. Ordinary people like us need subsidies, while those rich people just go there to grab the places."
Various discussions took place in various places along the Yu Shui line. Some people were still waiting and watching, while others made up their minds immediately.
There are countless choices in life, and different choices often lead to different destinies.
