In fact, more than ten days ago, Xinhua said that Mao Geng was captured by Qujiadong's son-in-law. Legend has it that the Lord of Qujiadong's Cave took a fancy to Mao Geng as a rare talent and wanted to marry his beloved daughter to Mao Geng. However, everyone knows that Mao Geng likes Su Zhiyan of the Su family, so the Lord of Qujiadong had to take risks and simply used his unique skills. He didn't know what method he used, but he actually took the night to rob Mao Geng.

It is said that the Song Dynasty had a tradition of "catching son-in-law under the list". The so-called "catch son-in-law under the list" means that on the day of the list, the whole family of wealthy gentry from all over the country went on a strange move, and each of them took a strange move. The goal was to get a new scholar who passed the imperial examination as a son-in-law. Of course, the one who could pass the imperial examination in high school was not a big deal, but a very rare variety. In this way, there were too many monks and too little porridge, and the supply was too short, which resulted in the final call for son-in-law. The word "catch son-in-law" was vividly called "catch son-in-law". 1. Some wealthy families even spared no expense to recruit new Jinshi as son-in-law, so the market for the golden son-in-law of the Song Dynasty soared and set new highs, until they set a record of more than 1,000 yuan. This was a big deal for son-in-law, and some officials knew how to use their favor and power, and used their official power to suppress new Jinshi to submit. Of course, the "catching son-in-law" in the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty was a "literary capture" that showed their magical powers. Although there were some foul methods of "snatching the siege", it was rare to perform all martial arts after all.

Since the Song Dynasty had a long history of "catching son-in-law" and even the dignified imperial capital was popular with the word "catch". Qu Jiadong, as a Meishan barbarian, adapted to local conditions and did not stop. He simply called the real thing and used the real method of "catching" to capture Mao Geng, who was a talented man, and got married on the mountain and cooked the raw rice directly. This gossip can also be called a good story that can be circulated for a while. Since then, Meishan barbarians' robbery and captured son-in-law are probably famous all over the world. Some down-and-out scholars have dreams of the Qingqiu, hoping that as soon as they wake up, they can see the beautiful and charming Yao girl flowing in autumn. After the wedding night, they are happy to be the son-in-law of the cave.

Of course, Mao Geng didn't expect that his reputation suddenly became so great in the local area, and he wouldn't expect that there were people who envy his affair. However, after this legend spread, the three families of Su, Fu and Dun thought that this matter was very difficult. Moreover, the three families finally prying open the mouth of the Qujiadong minion from the "West China Contract Team", and the news they got was similar. They also said that Mao Geng married the daughter of the Lord of the Cave and was adjusting oil in honey, but after a while, he would still go down the mountain. In this way, even the government felt that this matter was just a "son-in-law" comedy that had been too popular, so naturally he wouldn't go to Qujiadong to break through other people's good things.

Now Mao Geng really brought a beautiful woman back to Baixi. Although everyone was full of doubts, they had to suppress their curiosity and naturally would not chase and fight like the paparazzi in later generations. But letting gossip, there were also things about the "West China Contractor Team" were also hot topics here. Everyone asked Mao Geng about the matter of building a house. Qu Jiadong suddenly started to do these two things. A discerning person saw that it was Mao Geng's contribution. Mao Geng immediately accepted the matter. Mao Geng felt that he would not need to be as low-key as before, but he did not need to speculate specifically. Just let it go.

Mao Geng was also curious about the business of the three families during this period. After asking, he found out that it was a happy situation.

In the past three months, the wax paper engraving equipment materials have been ordered continuously from all over the country, and the orders have suddenly reached more than 2,600 sets. Mao Geng calculated that even if he earned two cents of each set, he would be worth 5,000 cents of money soon.

Fujia earns at least 2,000 jin of money on this wax paper engraving. Since Fujia ironmaking used coke and hydraulic centrifugal blowers, the quality and output of iron have increased greatly. Prices have increased, not only turned losses into profits, but also made a lot of money. It is currently expanding production. It also has a return on iron making, which is really icing on the cake. Although Mao Geng is not a materialist, he never minds that he has a lot of money.

After Mao Geng left, Su Zhidao invited Tan Xiaochun and Huang Wangcai to Youxi to produce cement, where they started construction of water mills and ball mills. Of course, the Su family would not be satisfied with small fuss. They built several water mills and hydraulic ball mills as much as possible. The output has now reached 10,000 kilograms of cement per day. Calculated at the price of one kilogram of cement for ten cents, it is 100 jin a day.

However, the Su family's monthly cement production is only 300,000 kilograms, and if the monthly production is converted into tons, it is only 180 tons. After understanding the magical effect of cement, it was flaunted by the cement floors of the model houses of the "West China Contract Team", and then Wen Yuan's "Baixi Academy" shouted and the cement quickly sold. This pitiful production capacity is a drop in the bucket compared to the huge market of the Song Dynasty. Now cement has been booked for three months.

Lin'an alone has reached 500,000 kilograms. Therefore, the Su family is busy expanding its production capacity. By mid-November, the production capacity will double again to 20,000 kilograms per day, but it is estimated that it will still be a drop in the bucket to cope with the surging orders. Cement is in a period of huge profits. Excluding 10% of the tax revenue, it is not a problem to make a steady profit of 80 kilograms a day. If you calculate the accounts a little, you will know that the Su family has made a lot of profits in the past two months, which is much better than making bricks in Qujiadong.

As for the Dun family, tea oil has been sold out, and the income of tea oil can be regarded as a surprise, which makes the Dun family appreciate Wen Yuan, the son-in-law. Although the Dun family is not as profitable as the Su family in ink, it is also very considerable, and it should be no problem to make a stable profit of 1,000 yuan. The Dun Erbao's rosy boat was successfully built because cement and bricks were sold well, and the demand for carbonite was also very strong. Therefore, the rosy boats were continuously built, groundwater was constantly groundwater, and a total of more than a dozen rosy boats with a load of 150,000 jin were built. These rosy boats continuously transported carbohydrate cement and bricks, and then passed through Anhua to Yiyang, then through Dongting Lake, and even directly bought the ship with goods and then shipped to Lin'an. Dun Erbao's rosy boat business was very glorious for a while. Looking at Dun Erbao's smugness, he must have made a lot of profits.

However, no one has ever thought about how to produce pencils when Mao Geng left. Mao Geng could only smile bitterly, because the three companies were busy, and everyone, including the disciples he received, was very busy, so naturally they couldn't care about these. Graphite clay crucibles could meet the requirements of melting pig iron. However, because Mao Geng was suddenly robbed, the rest of the people knew limited iron smelting, and they didn't know what crucible steel was. The blacksmith Huang Wangcai was still accustomed to making objects with ready-made mature iron. This guy had very limited ability to understand tedious things, and he turned a blind eye to the crucible that could melt pig iron. The crucible steel smelting stopped.

Mao Geng sighed in his heart that Huang Wangcai is really a bit unintentional. Could it be that he would not use a crucible to melt a furnace of molten iron and then create objects? Will you understand the benefits of a crucible after comparison?

OK, it's better to do everything yourself.

However, after experiencing the incident of the Qujiadong robbery, Mao Geng felt that not only should we accept disciples, but we should also establish the power we control. Throughout history, everything is dependent on strength, and we should have both soft power and hard power. Without strength, we cannot even protect ourselves, so why not talk about training disciples!

Fuguo Iron sent Mao Geng another 2,500 jin of coins. Fortunately, it was Huizi. If there were 2.5 million copper coins, it would be a huge pile. More than 2,000 sets of wax paper engraving equipment had not been delivered yet, so this was pre-allocated to Mao Geng.

The Su family also sent more than 1,500 jin to Mao Geng. A month ago, the Su family's cement production capacity reached 10,000 jin per day, and 50 cents of the account. It had invested a lot in cement before, so this time it can only share so much. However, after the production capacity doubled in the middle of this month, Mao Geng could share more than 2,500 jin per month.

Mao Geng suddenly had 4,000 guan. What is the concept of 4,000 guan? A luxurious brick and tile house with a cost of 20 guan can be built with a construction area of ​​at least 2,000 square meters. What is that concept? In the future, he will be a rich man with assets of over 100 million yuan. What is even more exciting is that just the two items of cement and wax paper engraving will bring him more than 3,000 guan every month in the future. He finally joined the wealthy class of the Song Dynasty, which is gratifying.

Wen Yuan also won more than 400 jin of tea oil and ink projects, which can be considered a well-off society, but compared to Mao Geng, he can only be a small witch.

After four months of separation, Mao Geng pulled Wen Yuan and his two men to sit down. After all, they were brothers. The future layout would be helped by this brother. The proverb said, "Brothers who fight tigers, father and son soldiers to fight." What's more reliable in these days is still blood-related. Let's know your thoughts first with Wen Yuan, and the two brothers will first discuss how to go next.

Unexpectedly, Wen Yuan mentioned Su Zhiyan at the beginning:

"Brother Geng, I have heard that you don't want to go back to Baixi Guanxue, and I heard that you want to recruit disciples more, but I was delayed by the thieves in Qujiadong. Fortunately, I was safe and finally returned safely. Alas! I now have the third sister of Dun, and you have a Ling'er, I have nothing. Wang Qinqin's woman has no scheming and is not sad because I became the son-in-law of the Dun family. Haha, it turns out that I am passionate about Wang Qinqin. However, Su Zhiyan has deep affection for Brother Geng. She has also reduced a lot of time during your disappearance and talked less. Now that you brought Ling'er back, Su Zhiyan might be like what she would do!"

Mao Geng sighed and shook his head and said:

"The world is impermanent! This is not my own voluntary, but I was forced to do nothing. Haha, Su Zhiyan and I were almost broken through the window paper, but if Su Zhiyan got angry and married someone else, it would be impossible to imagine. There is no hurry in advance, and it will not be too late to find Su Zhiyan after I made arrangements. We brothers have been in the Song Dynasty since the day of the reincarnation. Haha, now you and I have married, but neither of them have their own homes. My house was given by Qujiadong, so of course it is mine. But since this time, we must have a place to stand in and have a team that can be controlled. First, we must open a workshop of our own and a business shop. The workshop is mainly made by the disciples I have accepted, and then choose some reliable ones from our group of reincarnated people. The business shop will be the ones that you can manage."

Wen Yuan was not resistant to being a businessman. Since the last rumor case, Wen Yuan's intention to get fame and fortune has faded. Speaking of the Song Dynasty merchants formed "commerce banks", and merchants who entered the industry were called "commerce banks". Mao Geng created unprecedented things, and the government would probably recognize it as a new business. However, Wen Yuan did not want to put down the "Baixi Academy of Sciences" and asked:

"Everything is heard from Brother Geng. But now "Baixi Academy" is becoming more and more popular, which is of great benefit to our business. It is a pity to give up. Why not continue to do it?"

Wen Yuan is getting more and more readers, which is a great thing. Mao Geng smiled and said:

"You have a good job in the Baixi Academy. Of course, you have to continue to do it. You have to do it better. Now you are not short of money. You can ask someone to engrave words, and you can also take out the money to ask someone to write articles. You have to pay the money to write articles yourself. In addition, you have to pay more attention to the layout. However, if you want to change the name of the magazine, it is called "Xinbao". The focus is on a new word, writing new stories, talking about new things, and talking about new life. We can no longer be limited to Baixi, so we can no longer be called "Baixi Academy". Just be careful not to discuss sensitive matters of the court."

When Wen Yuan heard this, he not only let himself manage the business, but also could publish the magazines with his own interests, and he was very satisfied.

Mao Geng said again:

"When we have money, we have to be able to spend money and enjoy it. I want to build the best building in the county town of Dasong. After it is built, everyone who comes inside will be envious. Of course, this is a later story."

*******

The day after returning to Baixi, Mao Geng invited Xiang Yixuan. Pan Wengu happened to be in the Baixi official school supervisor. Mao Geng invited the scar-faced guy to come together. Wen Yuan was present on his side.

Mao Geng has been with these two people for a long time and has not been circling around the bush, just going straight to the point:

"Last time on the mountain, Brother Xiang talked to me about the 73rd share of the profit. I have already decided on this matter. If I only have two ingredients to make a profit, the remaining 80% will be returned to Qujiadong. However, I have asked for 10% less in terms of profit distribution, but I have a reluctant request. Qujiadong's brick workshop and the "West China Contract Team" must be handed over to the 10% full management. The so-called 10% full management has already stated in this "Article" that anyway, I, Mao, promised that Qujiadong will never suffer a loss. In short, the 10% full management will only benefit Qujiadong, and it is limited to two years. After two years, the management power will be handed over to Qujiadong. You may as well take a look at this "Article" first."

Mao Geng took a fancy to Qu Jiadong, a quasi-military organization. At least the execution ability is excellent. Mao Geng meant that he wanted to be a ceo, and whoever likes to do the Qu Jiadong would do it. The "Articles" that Mao Geng showed them naturally removed some of the core terms of the company's articles of association in later generations and wrote it out in a different way. Anyway, it was the separation of ownership and management rights. Xiang Yixuan looked at it and explained it to Pan Wengu one by one. Then the two stood up and went to the courtyard to discuss it quietly, then turned back to the hall.

Xiang Yixuan's words are still so lovely:

"Brother Mao is not treating my Qujiadong as an outsider. Of course, it is a pity to invite someone like Brother Mao to be the leader. Haha! But this matter has a great impact after all, and we are not easy to make decisions. We have to go back to Qujiadong to discuss. After the discussion comes to a result, we will report to Brother Mao. Brother Mao won't mind!"

In front of these two people, Mao Geng was the former military master. He smiled generously and said:

"Of course I won't mind this. You should discuss such a big matter. After you discuss it, let's talk about it again."
Chapter completed!
