Chapter 328 The Vineyard (2)
Hai Dongqing's first letter delivery was perfect. When Yang Heng was anxious, "Spike." With a crisp eagle sound, Yang Heng was also ready to welcome Hai Dongqing, which was to put a piece of raw cowhide on his arm to prevent Hai Dongqing from being cut.
"Huh..." As if a strong wind blew, Hai Dongqing quickly landed on Yang Heng's arm. Why did Yang Heng have such preparations at this time? Because he heard the excitement from Hai Dongqing's sing. No matter what excitement, he would do something incredible. Once, Yang Heng's shoulder was scratched by Hai Dongqing, so he prepared this piece of raw cowhide. In other words, once Hai Dongqing is excited, it will definitely fall on Yang Heng to seek credit. Fortunately, it will not fall on the baby and others, otherwise it will not scratch the baby and will also be crushed. I don't know how this Hai Dongqing grows, it weighs more than fifty pounds and has a wingspan of about four meters. That, is this an eagle or an eagle?
"Li Li." Hai Dongqing fell on Yang Heng's arm and whispered, then pecked at the bamboo tube on his leg, asking Yang Heng to take it down.
"Brother, the letter has been received, and the grape seedlings have been delivered soon. Dabaibai is pretty good, sister, little girl." It's simple and clear, but it's also suitable for Xiaomei's current temper. Is it steady? There is no extra words or even a greeting.
"Come on, bring a piece of fresh meat." This is to reward the sea Dongqing. The servant soon brought a piece of fresh beef, which looked like more than ten kilograms.
"Li Li." Hai Dongqing cheered and muttered the beef in the hand of the person, and jumped to the high altitude. It was about to enjoy it slowly. You must know that the prey it caught was not so clean. It was all covered with hair and blood, and it definitely tasted bad. This beef is its favorite fine part of it.
In fact, this Haidongqing has learned to be accustomed recently. When it catches prey, it doesn't eat it by itself. It takes it back and exchanges it with Yang Heng for the meat it likes to eat. It even makes people deal with it before eating it. When it starts to catch the prey, Yang Heng thought it was because it respects Yang Heng, so he took it back directly. This made Haidongqing very angry. Finally, Yang Heng understood what it meant, that is, it was picky about food, so now there is a person in Yang Heng's home who is specifically responsible for the diet of this Haidongqing. Fortunately, it is close to the grassland. It is not convenient to buy cows.

"Husband, it sent the letter?" "Yeah. Look, this is Xiaoniang's reply." Yang Heng gave Changle the bamboo tube in his hand. "Ah, so good, husband, we have another messenger. By the way, husband, where are the grape seedlings going to be planted?" "Haha, this, I have chosen a good place for my husband. Let's go and have a look."
Yang Heng brought Changle to this busy construction site, "Husband, you want to build a water truck." "Well, yes, the water resources here are so rich, but they cannot be used. It's a pity. I plan to make this county a water truck county and also make it a grape base."
"Board, boss." When Yang Heng and Changle were walking among the busy crowd, everyone greeted Yang Heng, but ignored Changle. However, these people didn't know Changle, right? Yang Heng didn't plan to introduce Changle to them, he felt that it was unnecessary.
"Husband, what are you going to do here?" "Haha, I'm planning on this. Now I'll open ten acres of land first. I guess the grape seedlings can just do it. I have signed an agreement with these ten families. I will pay them wages before the grapes reach fruit. Of course, this wage includes three types: grain, cloth, and copper coins, so that they can't worry about food and clothing. I even pay their taxes for them. Their agreement is also a lifelong agreement, that is, they are free people, but they cannot leave this land, or even work for others, otherwise they will pay dozens or even hundreds of times the liquidated damages, or I will hand them over to the yamen for punishment. Although this is a bit domineering, it can also ensure the confidentiality of technology and the continuity of work."
Indeed, Yang Heng did not want to take them as slaves, but he did not want to train a group of technicians. They then lost them, so they could only use agreements to guarantee it. However, although it was a lifelong agreement, once the grape planting became popular, the agreement would be invalid. At that time, this kind of technical workers would be no longer valuable. Some people even had their own vineyards. In order to develop better, these people even needed Yang Heng's agreement, not Yang Heng wanted to restrain them. You should know that planting grapes is popular, while wine is unique, or Yang Heng would transfer the technology to several companies to do it. In short, it is true that this technology would not be popularized, otherwise it would be worthless, right?
"Well, what else do you have to do when the vineyards here are planted?" Changle was so lovely. When she saw Yang Heng's excitement, she naturally had to continue asking along with Yang Heng.
"Well, you see, this ground is not small, with less than a thousand acres of ground. I plan to build a grape estate here, which is tentatively set to be a thousand households, and then put a few water trucks on this river, so that the irrigation operation in this place can be guaranteed, and then recruit people, and sign an agreement and pay wages until this place becomes a perfect grape estate. Then I will build a winery there to make wine, and even related industries. I plan to use more than three thousand acres of land here, and I will not come next.
If you build a manor, you have to build a nearby farmer, or if you move from elsewhere, you will form an agreement with me to build a grape estate, and the winery is responsible for purchasing grapes. In short, I want to build this place into a large grape planting county. With so many grapes, it is naturally not just wine, but also fresh grapes, raisins and other products. Also, I want to build a road, which is the road from here to Chang'an, or even a road connecting the grassland. I want to build it with cement. In short, this is a good thing."
Yang Heng has basically taken shape in his mind. Naturally, this road is not free, but it is not fully charged. He divided the road into several parts. One is that pedestrians do not charge, but tourists riding alone do not charge, and the third is that the army does not charge, and the charges are merchants' horse teams, carriages, etc., some heavy vehicles. You should know that in ancient times, building roads and bridges was a thing of good deeds, but there is no charge. Yang Heng really can't afford such an expensive road. Naturally, the merchants are not there.
It is the ranks of good deeds, and they also have to make money, so they should charge them some fees for speed. You should know how much time they will save with this path? Moreover, according to Yang Heng's plan, this path will definitely become a prosperous trade route, so Yang Heng is not worried about being wasted, but this has to be discussed with Li Er, and the shareholders of the building materials factory. Maybe they also need to plug in one, but it is best for them to plug in one. If you have money, you will make money, and if you have risks, you will take responsibility.
"Husband, can this be achieved?" "Well, why can't it be achieved? Haven't you seen that the road to the grassland has started construction? And on the periphery of the grassland controlled by my Tang Dynasty, I also planned to build a commercial city. His Majesty also approved it. This road to the trade city."
"Well, since your husband is so confident, I'll just put it in. You have to know that there is still some money there." Yang Heng suddenly realized that the Tang couple was really very humane. Both the couple had their own property transactions, and even did not affect each other. This was much stronger than the agreement in his previous life. How much money did Changle have in his hands? A lot, some of her factories and storefronts had no expenses, and they have always been
