Chapter 18 Hu Biao is here

Standing on the city wall, watching countless people with crude weapons and ferocious expressions, they kept attacking the city wall. Even though falling rocks, kerosene, and rolling logs kept killing people and burning them, and fire guns kept beating people to death. They still kept going forward one after another.

He rushed up. His mouth seemed to be shouting, they are hungry! They are very hungry! The picture in front of him made him extremely frightened.

In the distance, a group of people surrounded a big flag with the word "Chong" written on it, pointing at the city wall. Soon the people flooded the city wall like zombies. The good minister was devoured by the people on the spot, and Zhang Zongxian was squeezed out by the crowd.

He got off the city wall. The moment he fell off the city wall, he seemed to see Su'e holding a torch and lighting the entire county government office on fire.

The moment he touched the ground, Zhang Zongxian woke up. Looking at Su'e who was sleeping beside him, he realized that he had had a nightmare, but this dream was so real. It was so real that it seemed like it would happen soon. Zhang Zongxian leaned over Su'e's face.

He kissed her, got up and went to the study.

In the study, I kept flipping through the past life information that I had recorded these days. I wanted to find a way to keep these people alive.

After reading and thinking, Zhang Zongxian summarized several plans based on his memories of previous lives.

First, get high-yielding and drought-tolerant corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. as soon as possible. You have to be promoted to govern Shaanxi. Otherwise, it will be difficult to promote, and the court harvests wheat. You have to find a way to communicate with the court to replace wheat with money, or

Pay taxes on food purchases.

Water conservancy also needs to be improved. It is best to build a steam pump, so that the cost-efficiency ratio is high. Next is chemical fertilizers, but the large-scale production of chemical fertilizers was only achieved in the late 1970s. We can only build some soil fertilizers first and slowly

Research it.

We must also find a way to kill those princes of the Ming Dynasty and distribute the fertile land they occupied to the people to increase the per capita farming area. We must also develop industry and commerce to increase tax revenue, otherwise the people's hard-earned income will be robbed as soon as three wages are paid.

In my memory, it snowed in Guangdong during the Little Ice Age. It can be seen that the climate in the north will only get worse. Even if you do all these things, you can barely survive. If there is a big disaster, you will still starve to death. But things still have to happen.

Do it, and do it quickly. If you can't save the people after everything you do, you can only lead the people to rebel.

After thinking of a coping strategy and strengthening his belief, Zhang Zongxian went back to sleep.

On this day, Zhang Zongxian immediately went to the east of the city after holding a morning meeting. Today is the day for acceptance. Zhang Zongxian has to personally participate in the acceptance, and has to ask Ding Bo to settle the project payment on the spot. These people will be ranked second. As long as they cooperate with the county magistrate, they will have money.

earn.

When they arrived at the east of the city, they saw Wang Laosan and his people coming to greet Zhang Zongxian first. Zhang Zongxian didn't talk nonsense with them and wanted to see how the project was completed first. Seeing that the large piece of land had been replaced with new soil, there was no pungent smell.

The stench is bad.

Zhang Zongxian was very satisfied, and then randomly selected ten locations and had people dig them up to see if the lime had been spread well. After digging and checking that there were no problems, Zhang Zongxian said to Lao Wangtou:

"Very well done, you did not disappoint me."

Wang Laosan and others immediately knelt down towards Zhang Zongxian and kept saying words of thanks. Zhang Zongxian got up first and then said

I have planned this land in the east of the city to be a horse market. We will build warehouses, racecourses, and inns here. These projects will be left to you. You will then go to the workshop to get the drawings, and you must give the construction period and quotation as soon as possible. The construction period

The sooner the better.

"I understand, thank you for your kindness. I will go to the workshop to get the drawings in a moment."

"I won't talk about the warehouse. The inn is mainly for caravans. Everything should be practical." "Young people understand that we need to build a large shop instead of a house."

“Just understand”

In the afternoon, Zhang Zongxian was sorting out information about his previous life in the backyard. Ding Bo reported that Hu Biao had come to Qingjian County. Great! He had been waiting for him. He then asked Ding Bo to take Hu Biao to the study room in the backyard of the county government office.

As soon as Hu Biao entered the study, he immediately saluted Zhang Zongxian.

"Hu Biao, a small citizen, pays homage to the magistrate and county magistrate"

"Mr. Hu's style is still the same! He is still so forthright."

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I came here to bring you some local specialties from the grasslands. I hope your Majesty won't dislike it."

"Mr. Hu is very polite. Come and sit down and chat. I wonder how many years Mr. Hu has been running this trade route?"

"The younger one started running with the caravan when he was 9 years old. He has been running as a caravan for 25 years."

"I've been running around for a long time! Manager Hu is almost 30 now! He has saved a lot of money, right?"

"It makes the county magistrate laugh. I only take care of the business for my family, and I only get a little salary every year to make ends meet."

"Has Mr. Hu gotten married yet?"

"My son is already 9 years old and I have a family. I will take him with me when I go back this time."

"Mr. Hu will have to endure a lot of hardships on the way to and from the grassland."

"Although there are a lot of chaotic fighting groups on the grassland with no real boss, there are also a lot of horse bandits. They do it every time with their heads hanging. Many tribes are both herders and bandits. The food and housing in the bitter cold grassland are not as good as those in the grassland.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a man who had a headache and fever and passed by without paying attention. Although he made a lot of money for a trip, it was not a small amount for him to go back and forth. The general on the wall was heartbroken. "

"Then you can't bear to let your son suffer like this. Why don't you let him study and gain fame so that he can become an official in the future?"

"It's not that easy for the county magistrate to get the honors. It's like you, a literary star, can pass the exam. Ordinary people don't have elders to support them, they don't have books at home, and they don't have good teachers. At most, they are just a scholar.

Besides, we are working for our family. Although we are not slaves, we are not much better. It is a bit hard to follow the trade route, but at least we will have enough food and clothing."

"Hu Biao, you came to me to inquire about the trade route to Moscow, right?"

"The county minister is passing through Qingjian County when he is young, and he brings some things from the grassland to the county minister."

"Okay, I won't go around the bush with you anymore. If a great fortune comes to you, it depends on whether you can grasp it."

"The county magistrate is a stupid person. He doesn't know what the magistrate is referring to?"

"I tell you the truth, I didn't get admitted as a county magistrate. My family comes from a family of officials, and my father once served in the Ministry of Personnel. I came from the Ministry of Personnel and donated money to enter the Imperial College, and then the father-in-law in the palace took care of the local magistrate.

.I will be promoted to prefect in less than three years. Don’t you want your son to be an official? Then the Hu family just married an official. I can let your son join the Imperial College and then be sent to another place to become a parent official.

."

"What does the county magistrate need from a villain? I'm afraid the villain's family is too poor to donate to the Imperial College!"

Hu Biao! You have worked hard for the Hu family and you have not gained anything? You have to let your son suffer. As long as you listen to me in the future, I have better things than tea here, and they will be more popular than tea when they are shipped to the grassland.

.

You transport them there and exchange them for horses, cattle and sheep. I will set up a horse market in Qingjian County. Then the silver will naturally be available. What's the point of donating it to the Imperial College?

"This is the county lord~~~"

"Don't be in a hurry to answer me. You go to the east of the city and have a look first. That's where I'm going to build Jianyang City. After you look at it, come back and tell me. Go quickly."

Hu Biao went to the east of the city with a head full of questions. Where did he see the vacant land that had been cleared up? And asked what was going on? He heard that Zhang Zongxian used bidding instead of recruiting the people directly.

I was very surprised. After knowing that Wang Laosan and the others made a fortune from this project, I admired Zhang Zongxian even more. I made a decision immediately.

Hu Biao returned to the study and knelt directly in front of Zhang Zongxian.

"The young man is willing to serve the county as hard as a dog or horse, and he will go through fire and water without any hesitation."

"I knew you were a smart man. I waived the city entry tax and built a horse market in the east of the city. I just waited for you to come over and let you take charge of the overall situation. The horse market will give you 10% of the shares. You can give your son and wife all

Bring him here, and I will accept your son as a disciple. From now on, we will be a family."

"For such a big deal as the county magistrate, I gave you 10% of the shares without doing anything."

"You have a lot of things to do. All parties involved will continue to arrange for people to transport things to the grassland. You also have to contact merchants to trade in this horse market. You have a lot to do to recruit people."

"The county minister understands. Give him half a month, and he will bring his family to join the county minister."

"Okay, before you leave, you should try this wine first and see if there is a market for it and if it can be sold at a high price." After saying that, he asked the maid to bring Hu Biao a bowl of thyme for him to try.

"This wine, County Master, is really fragrant, but what we want on the grassland is strong wine, so Tatar is the best."

"It's not this thyme that's being transported to the grasslands, it's another kind. Do you think there's any market for this thyme?"

"The taste of this thyme by the County Lord is suitable for literati and elegant people. They like it. As long as it is brought to the capital and found by a few literati to blow it, it will definitely become popular in the capital."

"Hu Biao, you reminded me that you should take this thyme with you when you go back this time. Go explore the road first. Come and let me write a legendary story for this thyme, so that these literati can also boast about it."

"Don't worry, Lord County. It's just how much does this thyme cost?"

"The purchase price is 4 taels of silver, and the rest is up to you."

Hu Biao was arranged to go to Lao Liangtou to get wine, while Zhang Zongxian was thinking about how to brag about the thyme.

It needs to be mysterious, it needs to have beautiful women, and it needs to be complicated to make. If you have it, say that this thyme is produced in the Kunlun Mountains. To make this wine, you need hundreds of exotic flowers and herbs produced in the Kunlun Mountains, and you need a girl who has not left the palace to step on the ninety-nine with her bare feet.

Eighty-one days, plus the Tianchi water in Kunlun Mountain, this water is said to be a Tianchi formed by the Queen Mother of the West’s royal wine dripping from the peach party. Adding this water can brew this fine wine. It’s not called Thyme.

Tianru. Soaking wolfberry in wine and drinking it can also increase hair, strengthen the body and prolong life.

Hu Biao read what Zhang Zongxian wrote and said with a smile: "The original aroma of the wine in the county bottle can be sold for ten taels of silver per catty in the capital. In addition to the legend you wrote, this wine can be sold for one hundred taels per catty."

The wine you shipped this time sells for a hundred taels per catty. In the future, the wine will be divided into 10 years, 20 years, and 30 years, and will be sold for 50 taels, 100 taels, and 300 taels respectively. The 20-year-old wine will be stronger than the 10-year-old wine and the 30-year-old wine.

It’s also a bit more intense than the 20-year-old one.

"Your Majesty, thank you! It will be even different when it is shipped to Jiangnan."

"Take your time, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, someone will come looking for you."

In the evening, I called Lao Liangtou and Hu Biao and had a meal in the backyard. I told them about the future operation of the wine industry. The horse market will be the main shipping channel for Erguotou. You can contact merchants to exchange horses, cattle and sheep for wine.

Tianru Liquor will take the high-end route and strive to become a tribute in the future. From now on, Liangjia Winery will no longer sell it to external parties and will only be responsible for production.

The ex-factory price of Tianru wine has been increased to 10 taels per catty. The ex-factory price of vintage wine has been increased in proportion to 20 taels for 10-year-old wine, 40 taels for 20-year-old wine, and 60 taels for 30-year-old wine. Business matters Ding Bo

Responsible for docking, and will hold a meeting every month to complete the docking of accounts.

Everyone was drinking and talking about the profits that the wine industry would bring in the future. They drank until late at night when Zhang Zongxian was drunk and they dispersed.
