The world has been peaceful for a long time, and there may be bandits, but no one who is alive in the siege has ever seen it. The sound of the blades last night shocked the people who didn't sleep all night. The people outside the city were even more afraid, for fear that Xu Jingchang would be beaten away, and their newly acquired land would be wasted. After hanging all night, Fang heard in the morning that he had won the battle, and he said that he had a Buddha. Only Zhang Da, who raised ducks, cried and scurried around the city, wanting to find Tingfang.

Tingfang went to the barracks early, cleaned the battlefield outside the city to rescue the wounded, Zhang Da and several people couldn't find it, so it was easy to find Cui Rong, and said with tears and snot: "Miss Rong, the ducks are gone!" Gone! ”

Cui Rong was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Da cried: "The water bandits who came last night had already figured out the number of roads, and got off the boat first to carry our duck cages. Seven or eight thousand ducks are gone! The ducks are the smartest and know their way home, and they don't see a few coming back after dawn. This year's harvest is all in vain, and I ask the county lord to come up with an idea! It's August, it's too late to raise again, how can we celebrate the New Year this winter? ”

When Cui Rong heard this, his face was very ugly, this year's duck has already signed a deed, and he can do it next year without it, but how can Ting Fang live on his face? was already at odds with Liu Yongnian, so he watched a joke. In addition, the previous duck eggs were made into salted duck eggs, waiting for the last batch of breeding, and waiting for the scale to be expanded next year.

This year, the wind and rain were good, and Tingfang was worried that the grain would hurt the peasants, so she had ordered the funds from the government treasury to prepare to buy grain, and temporarily stored it until the green and yellow crops were scarce, and then sold it to other provinces. Therefore, the people have their hands free for a year, and they have to eat some meat. The remaining ducks were not worried about the market, but they were actually caught. Not only that, but without the ducks, the fruit fly factory would have to shut down, otherwise who would eat so many fruit fly larvae? Cui Rong silently calculated the loss in his heart, and immediately hated to kill that Jiang He! Secretly scolded that bachelor, there is something that can't be discussed well, and he has to shout and kill him? Can you beat it? If they can't beat themselves, they lost money and food, and they lost ducks and had brain diseases! I'll die of illness when I go back! The scourge of the province to others.

Zhang Da saw Cui Rong gritting his teeth, and said with a sad face: "Miss Rong, what do you say to do?" ”

Cui Rong said: "The county lord has gone out, and I will report to her when she comes back." Only breeding is the most important thing to look at, this year I am afraid that the ducks will not become, I want to find something else for you to deal with this year. ”

Raising ducks is not a one-person business, and the family's annual livelihood is all based on that idea. Since it is a contract, the principal has to be paid by itself. After the flood, several families either emptied their families or borrowed debts, how easy is it to talk about it again? Ducklings may not be able to afford to buy them next year. If you do it again, the money is not as fast as doing business, when will you be able to save enough money to come again? To raise ducks, you have to pick the pond by the river, and it is useless to occupy the place when you have saved enough money. Thinking of the vast road ahead, Zhang Da squatted on the ground and cried bitterly, and several people who came with him couldn't stop sobbing.

Cui Rong persuaded: "The ducks always return at night, and you go back and wait, or some can come back, it is not known." ”

Another duck keeper, Qian Lezi, wiped his face and said, "The women are waiting at home." Saying that, he cried again, "I also said that I got money by selling ducks, cutting new clothes and buying flowers for the children, and I am afraid that I will not even be able to eat sweet potato rice this winter!" ”

Cui Rong said: "Don't mention it, there is always food." I really don't have anything to eat, just come looking for me. At this time, it is useless for you to surround me, I am a girl, and the master who can do is limited, and a few uncles are considerate. ”

Zhang Dadao: "Aren't you going to get married!" If you get married, you are the wife of an official family. ”

Cui Rong said: "Uncle Zhang, are you laughing? The whole world is not the king's land, I am an official lady, don't I have to obey the orders of the county lord? It's not the lord of the county, I'm going to do laundry and cook at home, where can I promise you food this winter. Rest assured, the county lord will not leave you alone. Next year, or there is no principal, how about borrowing my private house from you? ”

Zhang Da immediately said: "Really? ”

Cui Rong pointed to the golden hairpin on his head and said: "I have seven or eight, enough for you to make the capital, sell the duck next year and make a fortune, and return me." ”

Qian Lezi hurriedly asked: "How much profit?" ”

Cui Rong belched: "It's all my own people, I'm embarrassed to take your money." ”

Qian Lezi said: "That can't be done, in business, you don't collect profits, we don't dare to borrow." ”

Cui Rong thought for a while and said, "Then go back to the county lord and ask her to decide." I simply tell you a Qiao Zong'er, the mulberries in the garden are about to fall, and the man who makes wine has the strength to make wine, and he is looking for an idle man to help. You don't make a living, as long as you are not afraid of hardship, I invite you to make wine. It's good to talk about it this winter. ”

A few people thought about it for a while, making a profit is a matter, and it is more important to keep in touch with Tingfang, although they are not very happy to make wine, they still respond.

Ting Fang knew last night that the ducks could not be saved, and the place where Jiang He landed was a duck farm. Fortunately, the mulberry garden is a little far away, and the 5,000 geese in the garden are fine. After going around, he commanded people to repair the wooden factory, and transferred people to order ducks, and finally arrived at the mulberry garden, looking at the tired mulberries, and his mood calmed down a little. This year is an experiment, so I don't raise much of anything, and silkworms haven't started yet. Next year's large-scale promotion will not be this star, and the entire Jiangxi territory will be mobilized. Where to raise ducks, where to silkworms have a plan. Those who raise ducks can't grow cotton, those who boil silkworms can't take care of the geese in the garden, a village builds a factory to make bamboo products, and a village raises pigs full-time.

Subdivide all people into various jobs, make them unable to be self-sufficient, force the circulation of goods, and the economy will immediately prosper. After all, self-sufficiency, clumsy hands and clever hands, only good looks on the surface, no practical benefits. When it becomes an industry, those who are good at making clothes will make clothes, and those who are good at weaving bamboo mats will go to weave bamboo mats. When the factory splits the assembly line, the cost is immediately pushed down, when it is cheaper to sell than to make it yourself, when time is more valuable than everything, the small-scale farmer economy is self-defeating.

Business is the foundation of everything, but it is much more difficult to manage a commercial state than an agricultural one. Ting Fang asked himself about the current level, the method of controlling the peasants to death, not to mention the creation of a generation of "prosperous times", and being a "Ming Jun" can make a living. But if you want to manage a commercial province, you feel that your IQ is insufficient every minute, and you urgently need to recharge. Sigh, a crossing woman is not enough! God, can you come here to study economics and management, finance, agriculture, chemical engineering, physics? Ting Fang rubbed the corners of her forehead and walked towards the cotton yarn factory.

The cotton mill is located in the city, and there is not much fuel and cotton, so it is enough to work for three hours a day. Forty or fifty women had gathered inside, and they were taking the children to eat. Junzi Mo greeted him: "Why is the county lord here?" ”

Ting Fang said: "Come and see." ”

Jun Zimo smiled: "It's good if you call me to ask, why bother to come in person?" No matter how clean the factory is, there is always some pickling. ”

Ting Fang pointed to a group of children scurrying around the yard and asked, "Those are the children of female workers?" ”

Jun Zimo nodded.

"Just that crazy?"

Junzi Mo was stunned and said, "They will do some work, the larger ones will chop wood for cooking, and the smaller ones will sweep the yard." ”

Ting Fang said: "Only half a day's work, these adults can do it." ”

Junzi Mo was embarrassed and said: "You can't kick the child out." If a woman is unable to bring her children to work, who will take care of them? Some are widows, some have no mothers-in-law, and if not, it will not be difficult for women to find a living. ”

Ting Fang said: "I didn't say that I would pick up the child, I meant that it was a waste of life to be so crazy!" You go and find someone who can read, and all of them are gathered together to read and read. Rolling in the yard in a good year, like words? ”

Junzi Mo was dumbfounded: "Go to school? ”

Ting Fang said: "You told them that in the future, the factories, the army, and the officials of the government in Jiangxi will have to be assessed at all levels. I don't want to face the loess with my back to the sky all my life, so I will know the words. There is no way now, and you will have to take the test to join the army in the future. I don't make illiterate people under my hands, and there are many boundaries for employing people, and one by one is illiterate, I use a fart! By the way, you pick up a few smart kids for me in a few factories, and throw them to Hawker's to learn English, and then go to Mu Dagong's to learn mechanics in the second half of the day. Tell them, as I said, the future Ministry of Industry will not be able to speak foreign languages and institutions, and they will not be allowed to enter the door! "Britain was the first to enter the industrial revolution, so it established itself as the world's hegemon. In the future, the production line will be spread all over the country, and it must be imported at the beginning, and the chief engineers will at least understand the instructions.

Engineers don't fall from the sky, they are existences that can only be smashed out of countless money and painstaking efforts. Ting Fang couldn't really expect God to pack her a few big cows in various disciplines, so she could only cultivate them from scratch.

"Ministry of Works......" Jun Zimo lowered his voice and said, "County Lord, are you sure to appoint and dismiss the officials of the Ministry of Industry?" ”

Ting Fang sneered: "I have worked hard for thousands of miles to run back and forth, and you still don't ask me to say a few words in the government?" I'm not doing it for my own home. There is no such comfortable and domineering emperor under the sun. Besides, His Highness is much more crazy about the organs than I am, and he will be able to get up with me if I mention a word or two. It's a big deal to be scolded by that sour Confucian, it's not worth anything. If you don't be envied, you're a mediocre talent, and you don't dare to scold me to your face. "Those who dare to scold in front of each other will be beaten one by one, and those who will be beaten by two will be scolded, and those who are not afraid of death will be scolded.

After speaking, Ting Fang turned around the cotton mill twice, and looked at the spindle on it and stopped suddenly. Sewing machine! She actually forgot about the sewing machine! That's the artifact of making clothes. At this time, making clothes is all by hand, and I don't know how much work it takes to get neat clothes. The clothes of the common people are randomly locked, so the clothes with dense stitches can be sent as favors. The sewing machine is stepping on the edge of more than one meter a minute, and the efficiency is improved by more than one and a half stars. Although it is difficult to embroider the name, it is easier than handiwork. Ting Fang stepped on the curtain with that thing when he was a child in his previous life, and he still roughly remembers the structure. I really forgot, you can also import. It may not be as easy to use as improved by later generations, but at least it is far better than handwork.

Thinking of this, Ting Fang picked up her skirt and ran to the military factory. She wanted to find Mu Dagong and develop the sewing machine. With a sewing machine, she was able to directly monopolize the market for ready-to-wear garments and curtains of all colors. Even if you include shipping, it must be much lower than the price of handmade! Tingfang lacks everything now, the most lacking thing is money, can save the cost of making military uniforms and open source at the same time, how can he not do it? No matter how difficult it is, you have to do it!

Unexpectedly, before he ran to the military factory, he was intercepted by the old man Hua Song on the road. The old man said with a serious face: "Little four, you come with me!" 166 Reading Network
