The next morning.

Wanyan Kang led Liang Ziweng, Chen Qing and Ma Xiong to lead the 200 soldiers sent back from Chi Xi to escort the more than 2,000 stones of grain collected over the past few days and left the city.

This time, Xueqing and Liusu followed this time.

Along the way, Liusu, the girl chattered endlessly, and everything was novel.

Daxingguo, Ma Liang, Pu San Jiujin and Wanyan Hui also went with the team.

The joint tests of each company yesterday were left unresolved, and Fushengtang still had to operate as usual. Wanyan Kang brought them with him, mainly showing them the attitude of continuing cooperation.

Think about it, even those who have always had a good relationship with King Zhao, let alone others.

The idea of ​​pulling these companies into the car is correct, otherwise the benefits will be too great and will cause the covetousness of all parties. The Zhao Mansion alone may not be able to withstand it.

...

In just a few days, a human market spontaneously formed outside Tongxuan Gate.

Wanyan Kang looked at him.

Unlike ordinary markets, there are no stalls, shops, no lower-level clerks who manage trade, and even no tooth to profit from it. There are only "commodity people" with straw sticks on their heads, their eyes are dull, kneeling in rows, with dozens of people in each row, about a meter apart.

The well-dressed people who rode a tall horse and followed the fierce guards, or were tightly surrounded by domestic servants, came and went in a proud manner, pointing and commenting.

"A father and son are fed together, and their destiny is called a city."

Wanyan Kang turned over and dismounted: "I'll go and have a look."

He strided hard toward the city.

Liang Ziweng and three guards followed quickly.

Liusu also wanted to follow her, but was held tightly by Xue Qing and shook her head and refused.

Wanyan Kang walked into the city and walked around silently, feeling complicated.

A girl with a beautiful face of seven or eight years old sold half a dou of rice;

A woman with a charming charm is a little more expensive, and it is only a dou of rice;

The most expensive teenagers who are close to adults and have strong physiques, are 2 dou of rice.

As for those who are old, sick, and thin, basically no one cares about them.

My life is as cheap as this... I am not even as good as a grass chicken!

Fortunately, I just simply used people to change grain and wanted to survive, but I didn't find that kind of inhumane "vegetarian".

"let's go."

Wanyan Kang sighed, what else to say?

...

Wanping is one of the ten counties under Zhongdu and an important place in the capital.

From the main gate of Wanping County to the north, seven or eight miles away, behind a willow forest is the famous Ge Wangzhuang. King Zhao was originally named King Ge, and this name has continued to this day.

It is one of the manors outside the city of Zhao Wang Mansion nowadays.

For safety reasons, Wanyan Kang did not transport the grain to Anguo Temple, but planned to stockpile it here. After all, this place is not far from Anguo Temple.

At noon, the team turned down the official road, and Wanyan Kang looked at Ge Wangzhuang not far away on the horse.

This is actually a square castle with a very wide area.

The height of the courtyard wall is at least five or six meters. The courtyards are endless, and the houses are lined up one after another, and there is no sight at all.

In terms of magnificence, it is naturally not as good as the Zhao Palace in Zhongdu, but in terms of area, it is even better than it is.

This is just the manor castle itself.

With Gewangzhuang as the center, it is more than ten miles around. Whether it is mountains, forests, lakes or farmland, it belongs to Gewangzhuang.

The people in the territory were all tenants or slaves from Gewangzhuang in the past.

The power of King Zhao can be seen.

Only then did Wanyan Kang understand what poverty restricted his imagination.

But thinking about it, all the temples in Anguo Temple have huge temple properties, and there is a Gewangzhuang under the name of the Zhao Palace, which is actually normal.

The housekeeper who was in charge of Ge Wangzhuang was named Xi and his servants and slaves were more than a hundred.

The little prince who had never visited Gewangzhuang suddenly came. Xi Jiu was shocked and had to bring a large group of people out to meet him.

Gewangzhuang Castle is built according to the terrain, arranged from low to high, and is arranged in four-story courtyards, symmetrical from left to right, with a main road in the middle forming a very regular "king" shape. The dozens of courtyards in the fort have their own characteristics, and hundreds of houses are not the same.

Wanyan Kang stood on the castle gate tower and looked away. From here to the mountain pass beside Anguo Temple, several villages where the farmlands and tenants lived in groups had long been abandoned, and the distant mountains and forests were also affected by refugees.

"Little Prince, our village has more than 1,300 registered tenants, three villages, and nearly 4,000 people..."

Xi Jiugong said: "Since the beginning of the year, refugees have become like locusts passing through the border, and thieves in various counties have risen."

"The government is at a loss for the response, and farmers outside the city may die or flee, or become refugees, and the tenants in this village are no exception."

Xi Jiu was still talking, but was interrupted by Wanyan Kang in a hurry: "I don't mean to check your accounts, you don't have to think too much."

Xi Jiu blushed and bowed: "I understand!"

"These more than 2,000 stones of grain are stored in the village. I will ask Chi Xi to arrange some soldiers to guard here. You must be careful and do not make any mistakes."

"In addition, you allocate two courtyards for me, and then select twenty honest and reliable people from the servants. I have my own arrangements."

Xi Jiu took the order and left.

Wanyan Kang then rushed to Xue Qing and Liusu, who were beside Sui, and He Sanxiao said, "Qing'er, I'm going to check the porridge factory in Anguo Temple later. You three will stay here. Be sure to bring people to build the two workshops as soon as possible. It is best to start construction one day earlier."

"Qing'er, you must remember what I said to you last night..."

"Qing'er can't save it, don't worry, the little prince."

Xue Qing was a little nervous and short of anger. She was under this important task and mastered the core secrets of the little prince. It would be strange if she was not nervous.

Wanyan Kang patted Xue Qing on the shoulder, touched Liusu's double-snail bun, and strode down the castle gatehouse.

...

Daxingguo was excited to take Ma Liang, Pu San Jiujin and Wanyan Hui wandered around Gewang Village, choosing an office location.

According to Wanyan Kang's intention, Fushengtang's headquarters will be temporarily established here.

As the person in charge of Fushengtang, of course he had to come and see it in person and then start working as soon as possible.

At present, in addition to the quantitative production of Weijixian and Snow Salt, which was personally mastered by Wanyan Kang, including the provision of raw materials, the transformation of salt numbers, material and capital preparation, the restoration of the world's first floor, etc., a series of things, including all the matters, are coordinated and promoted by Daxingguo.

Although the Pusan ​​family expressed the intention of letting Pusan ​​7 jin to make it, Wanyan Kang politely declined.

Pusan ​​Qijin's business ability is beyond the reach of Daxingguo, but after such a person entered the Chamber of Commerce, Wanyan Kang was worried that he would be undermined.

Of course, Pusan ​​Jiujin can't do anything, that is, you can only follow behind your butt and eat and drink for free, and use it as a mascot. But as a representative of Pusan's family, it's not good not to let him follow him.

Among the current personnel, Ma Liang and Wanyan Hui can help.

"The operation of the Chamber of Commerce, the restaurant and the Yan No. 1 are preparing to open, and all the matters are complicated. It is not enough to just rely on us."

Daxingguo pondered: "You can't just rely on the people from the Zhao Prince's Mansion! Ma Liang, our two families don't need to attract more people, each family will have about ten."

Ma Liang nodded: "No problem. My father said, "If you want someone, you will be able to pay money, and you will listen to you!"

Wanyan Hui hesitated and continued to play with the horse whip in her hand and said, "Daxingguo, what can I do?"

Daxingguo glanced at her and smiled: "Princess Hui, you represent Your Highness the Princess, just follow us to show your face casually. You are a signboard, better than anything else!"

Wanyan Hui nodded silently and suddenly said, "Since that's the case, I can't help. You are here, and I will go to the porridge factory in Anguo Temple with Wanyan Kang to take a look."
