Second Master Kong looked at the sixth brother grasping his heart and lungs, looking like a worried mother-in-law, and said to him with a smile: "You said that why you don't use your brain at all, you know what is going on." Hengtai is amazing! Do you think he's really a lonely minister, so he won't do anything? If he is really that kind of lonely and upright person, then how can everyone who accompanied him this time be promoted to the next level? Also got the emperor's silver reward?

From the time it took him to work as a squire in the household department, I could almost tell that he was just a gesture as a lonely minister. You see that he is now trusted and reused by the emperor and the new emperor, and loved and respected by his colleagues, do you think this is a lone minister who can do it? Even those of us who are old people have to admire that he can play officialdom so slippery at a young age, he is simply born for officialdom. Such a powerful child, do you still need to worry about it? ”

Master Kong Liu's eyes widened, and he stared at the second brother in disbelief: "Is that honest kid really as powerful as you say?" ”

Second Master Kong picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine slowly, put down the glass, and replied: "I'm afraid it's even more powerful than we know, I just found out when I came back." He quietly invited us to the entourage of 500 acres of tea plantations at the new emperor. ”

"Really?" Second Master Kong finally became excited, his son-in-law's family made tea leaves, and he was very clear about the profiteering of this tea. Therefore, he was very happy for the second brother, and at the same time, he was also excited that his son-in-law could be so embarrassed in front of the new emperor.

"Of course it's true! The meaning of this tea garden opened with the permission of the new emperor is completely different from that of the tea garden opened without the permission of the new emperor. Your second brother, I didn't want to dominate by myself, I plan to give you half of it. Just push the matter in the yamen! You'd better take someone over there to open a tea plantation yourself. ”

"Second brother! And that's a good thing. It's just that you also know that the two of us have opened a seafood shop, and we have already called my sister-in-law, and they have a lot of trouble. If we build such a large tea plantation, do you think we can still have a peaceful life? Your sixth brother and I don't have much to offer, so I just want to live a more comfortable life. If you don't have a peaceful life because of the tea garden. Then I'd rather not. ”

"You can't do it if you don't do it! This will spread soon, do you want me to give it to the big brother? If it had been before, maybe I would have really let it, but it would be stupid for me to give it out if they made so many ugly things. ”

"Then let me think about it!"

The two brothers of the Kong family were worried about such a good thing because of the entanglement of their families, but the other families were excited, especially Lord Ji, who had scolded Xiaolong before, cried excitedly: "I scolded Lord Wang before, but Lord Wang didn't bother with me." It also allowed me to be promoted and rewarded. In the end, he also asked me for the grace of 500 acres of tea plantations. This belly can accommodate a lot of people can't, I am truly convinced. ”

"Sir! Don't just cry and sigh here, you have to think about how to arrange the opening of the tea garden. ”

Mrs. Ji on the side really couldn't stand the appearance of a big man with a lot of snot and tears. It's really buried.

"Huh? Oh! Yes! I'm going to the study! Master Ji, who was crying so much that he was even moved, was not angry when his wife interrupted him, picked up a towel to wipe the tears and snot on his face, and immediately went to the study to quietly think about arranging for those people to go over to open a tea garden.

Each family is arranging personnel and funds to open tea gardens, and it is much simpler for the Emperor Taishang and the new Emperor. All they have to do is give them a command, and someone else will do it properly.

Mr. Li's grove has not yet been fully completed. It is also necessary to start going to the mountainous area to develop tea plantations. On the Wang family's side, Cai Baocheng will take people to go, and it is still the old rule, after the tea garden is ripe, he will have one-tenth of his share.

The team that developed the tea plantation and the horse team of the merchants arrived at the four cottages at the same time, and they found guides to disperse and look for the mountain villages they needed to go to.

A few days later, even one of the largest villages, which was furthest away from the four cottages, had arrived with a horse team. The place is too far away, and none of the few people who run tea plantations want to come. At present, only a team of horses has been arranged to explore the way.

The village surnamed Tian, which was peaceful in the past, suddenly became lively, and Anon saw Amu from afar. He opened his mouth and shouted, "Amu! Amu! Do you go out to do business with the horse team with them, or do you stay at home and grow tea for those people? ”

"I want to do business with the team, I want to go out into the mountains and see what it's like outside? Anon! What about you? ”

"Then I'll go with you to the horse team, and I want to go out and see it too."

Anon replied to Amu, and then asked Aluo, who came over, "Aluo!" What about you? Would you like to go out with us? ”

"Amu, Anon! I don't want to leave, my aunt still needs me to take care of it, and I want to help with the tea plantation. Give me 500 yuan a month, and even my sister can work together to earn money. ”

"Ah Luo, you really can't go, if you go, your aunt and sister don't even have a person to carry water and chop wood."

"Amu, Anon! Most of the sturdy men in the village tower had to follow the horse team, and the only ones left were some old people, women and children. If there is no one who runs the tea plantation, they will definitely stop you and prevent you from leaving. ”

"No, it won't! Ah Luo, the village chief's uncle asked them, and they said that the elderly, women, and half-grown children can help open the tea garden, and they don't have to be strong men. ”

"Ahh There are not many people in the Taigong family who can make money, and it is good to have a lot of people in the family. ”

“”

The mountain village closest to Sishanzhai is going to send off the family members who are doing business with the horse team today. They took out all the food they could bring with them and let their families who had gone far away to bring them.

Once out of the mountains, they put all the goods to the goods transfer point set up by the Wang family there at zero hour, so that their actual circulation speed is much faster than that of the caravan in the world of Erya. After that, the Wang family and General Manager Li cooperated to level the mountain road leading to the outside of the four cottages and widen it. Able to pass the carriage loaded with goods, the Wang family and the Li family set up the largest cargo transit point in the southwest of Sishanzhai, which basically covers the trading of Sishanzhai and all the surrounding mountain villages.

When the tea plantations are on a large scale, the mountain people can basically eat and clothe themselves in all the villages where the horse teams go. One of the largest villages farthest away from the four cottages, because no one went to that place to develop tea gardens, they followed the example of those who developed tea gardens, and also gathered the young tea trees together and planted them in one place. Then he began to cultivate tea seedlings by himself, and gradually large-scale the collective tea garden in the village.

The four-cottage horse team gradually came out of its reputation, and other mountain people in the mountains also formed a horse team in partnership. When the Wang family learned that there were also horse teams formed by scattered people in other places, they immediately set up a cargo transit point at the nearest place with convenient transportation, and some were willing to transfer goods from their transit point, all of which were the same as the price outside, without any increase or decrease. With the popularity of horse teams, the Wang family's goods transit points in various places have gradually become famous because of the fair price of buying and selling goods, and every horse team is willing to trade at the Wang family's goods transit points.

Once again, the ocean-going fleet returned with a full load, and they also brought back the resin that Erya had requested to buy in large quantities.

"The proprietor's lady! After discovering that resin could be made into glasses, many people stored a large amount of resin, causing the price of resin to increase dramatically, and this time the price was more than ten times higher than the previous one. ”

It's not bad to have only risen more than ten times, at least after she makes sunglasses, she can earn hundreds of times the profit.

"It's okay! The price of resin will rise sharply, and I have been mentally prepared for a long time. Did you get the kind of racks and matching screws for the glasses I asked you to bring back? ”

"I got it, and I even asked the master for a few special tools. The master's business is very good, if it weren't for the master remembering us, we were afraid that we might not be able to do a good job when we were about to leave. ”

Erya frowned: "Then you mean that there are a lot of people who make such glasses over there now?!" ”

"Yes! Lady of the Owner! We also bought a lot of nice looks and came back. ”

"Poof!" Erya thought that this was likely to be used back for her to learn from, and couldn't help laughing. "Good! Beautifully done! ”

Liu Jian, who was studying there with the children, also reported a good news to Erya: "The lady of the owner! They were working on the internal combustion engine as you said, and they invited me to participate, and it was going well. It is expected to be ready for use in another two years! ”

"That's great news!"

This is indeed good news for Erya, the steam train she wanted to transport coal from the Northland has never worked. Technically, it is not a problem, the real problem is that there is no way to get more iron, the iron of their carriages and bicycles is already stumbling, and it is even more difficult to get so much iron to get more iron than iron. The train plan is basically an abortion under the current conditions, but she is not too uncomfortable except for a little regret. However, what makes her glad today is that when those foreigners came to visit her family's successful steam engine, she opened it to others with a genuine attitude. No, the children who came back from the ocean this time brought back this exciting news for Erya.

Hey! If that happens, there's a good chance they'll come home with a real engine the next time they're out on the ocean. It's so simple, it's no wonder that people like to steal other people's research, it's so easy.

Liu Jian followed up with another good thing: "We also got a flashlight!" ”

When Erya heard the news, she was happy and frustrated at the same time, and there were too few people who could participate in scientific research. Look at people who can get a flashlight out of a battery and an internal combustion engine after listening to a few words. This is the real power of technology! (To be continued.) )
