Chapter 16 The Relationship between the Boater and the Sailing
Tang Zhou sat on the edge of a pile of ice cubes and sweated profusely, and Yile pointed out five flaws, each of which made him feel like a man's back.
"Brother Tang, look at it, what is the value of this hand alone if you can make ice in the summer? It's not me plotting against you, if it weren't for the fact that a certain brother begged hard, saying that you are a big hero of my Han Dynasty, you are in danger alone, and you must be told your current situation, and a certain family does not want to harass you Qingxiu.
Senior brother said that Infernal Affairs is the way of hell, and it is a hero to break into this way alone for the people to be the right way. "I'm afraid the only one who can say the pit money so grandiosely, Maiga is lying on the grass next to him, staring at Yile, as if to say: "This is too shameless!" ”
"Thank you Xiao Langjun for reminding me today, now that I think about it, I really hit it off with Xiao Langjun."
……
Is three million a lot of money? It's not enough to buy a county order, a little Taiping Dao angel can throw out this money casually, isn't Zhang Jiao so fat that it leaks oil?
Yile pointed at Zhongbo mysteriously and said, "Brother Tang, the younger brother will give you another great achievement, do you see that over there?" What the old housekeeper is guarding every inch is the auspicious rui brought back by the younger brother's family teacher from Fanguo, with a yield of 100 stones of new grain per mu. ”
"100 stones? Really? ”
"It's true, the harvest will be ready in a while, and I sincerely invite you to come and witness it then."
"But to the court?"
Yile looked at him with disdain and said: "Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid, once this new grain is mass-produced, who can care where it comes from, so that this is the time for you to show your loyalty, of course, it is dedicated to Zhang Tiangong, who will still doubt you at that time, kill multiple birds with one stone." And it's not reasonable to dedicate it to the court to find you! ”
This is reasonable, this is reasonable. Then the old brother is waiting for good news. The embarrassed appearance of the two of them suddenly made Uncle Zhong vigilant and stared at the two of them.
Tang Zhou took the undercover safety manual given by Yile and left Liu Yuan satisfied. Although he gave three million dollars, the value of the potatoes alone has far exceeded this money, and he has taken advantage of everything he does.
Liu Zisang immediately came over and said, "Xiaolang, how is it?" ”
Yile sighed and said: "Tang Zhou is a character, and he is an important person, history owes him a little, let him take advantage of it!" ”
Hearing that Yile asked a non-answer, Liu Zisang didn't answer, and chose to keep his mouth shut, waiting for Xiaolang to finish speaking.
"Let's hope he survives!"
"Take the silver ticket to Geng Yong and purchase the things according to the list. Why did Liu Ping go during this time? ”
"Didn't you say you didn't want to see him? In the future, you are not allowed to step into the Liu Courtyard..."
“……”
When the first leaves of autumn fall down, the temperature becomes cooler, and the fields quickly become busy, everyone is busy, in order to keep up with the rhythm, Yile has to find something to do.
If you want to see Lu Zhi, you have to prepare gifts, the mouldboard plough has been made, and Lao Liu's pioneering spirit is worthy of praise. It would be nice to add a set of mahogany furniture as a gift for the students to honor their teachers.
The carriage of the Han Dynasty, Yile really dare not compliment, a chair is set up on two wooden wheels, it is a high-end open-top sports car in later generations, at this time it can only be described as simple, from Lousang Village to Luoyang, more than a thousand miles away, Yile is not willing to give his life to this kind of transportation without a safety factor.
The new carriage will definitely be very popular, the Han is divided into classes for the carriage, the so-called noble people ride the car, and the cheap walk in vain. The richest merchants, but the lowest status, were not allowed to ride in carriages, but they had the most carriages. When each of these people had a new carriage with shock absorbers to protect them from the wind and rain, it was time to count the money until they cramped.
If everything in life needs money, people put money first, and vice versa. Money is not wealth, it is just one of the tools in the pursuit of wealth, because of the success rate, many times we mistake money for wealth.
At this time, Yile was very much in need of money. The low-level work of carrying water is enough to do it once, and the pipeline is the pride of the wisdom of later generations.
"Xiaolang, what is a pipe?" Liu Zisang's studious attitude is very gratified.
"To put it simply, you can only pick two buckets of water at a time, and you have to pick it when you're done. If the bamboo joints are connected together, the water source is connected to the house, and the plug is unplugged, and a steady stream of water is available, which is the pipe theory. Yile said patiently.
"Do you mean that Tang Zhou is carrying water, and opening a shop in Zhuo County is a pipeline?"
"Clever!" Yile gave a thumbs up.
"In a few months, we'll be the big bosses." Yile cracked a mouthful of white teeth and grinned.
"Big boss?"
"The meaning of the shopkeeper."
Then two giggling laughter rang out. Laughing is because of happiness, and people who laugh often don't actually have much fear in their hearts, even if they do, it's all within a controllable range.
Judging a person's happiness by laughing is the most straightforward way. Sometimes this method is very accurate, such as Zhongbo, who watched the potatoes grow up, and laughed every day. Sometimes it doesn't work, such as Liu Bei who looked at the accounts given by the account office at this time and smiled bitterly.
After the summer harvest is paid, the remaining grain cannot be eaten on the Shangyuan Festival as in previous years, and the income of the iron smelting workshop, wood mill, and silk weaving workshop in the clan is not as good as a year, and more than 400 mouths are waiting for food. Ah Le's consumption in the past few months is actually more than the consumption of the Liu family in an entire year.
"You've got to figure it out." Liu Bei closed the account book and said to himself.
The account room, which had not been gone for a long time, ran back again, and said with a crying voice: "Young master, Xiaolang went to the woodmill and the silk weaving workshop in the morning, and arranged for the clansmen to ask for transformation, and waited for the young master's approval at this time." Young master, it can't go on like this! ”
"Alright, let's go! I know about this matter, so let's do what Ah Le asks! Liu Bei said.
Seeing that Liu Bei was resolute, the bookkeeper didn't dare to say anything, so he had to leave in a huff.
"Ah Le, what do you want to do?"
……
"If you want to know what I want to do, you won't just ask, can you use such a sneaky temptation?" Seeing Liu Beidong's headless and brainless appearance, Yile said teasingly.
"I'm not asking, I just haven't asked yet." Liu Bei argued. "And what do you want to do?"
"I told you before."
"You've said a lot."
Yi Lelen paused for a moment, and found that he had indeed said a lot of goals, and then said: "Our first goal now is to support ourselves." Then he roughly explained his plan, and when it came to meeting Tang Zhou, Liu Bei's face suddenly changed, and then he shouted:
"How can you be so reckless? What if Tang Zhou wasn't from the imperial court? Is there still life standing here at this time? ”
"In Zhuo County, they don't dare to be so blatant." Yile replied in a whisper like a child making a mistake.
"You know a fart, these days, killing people for a bite of food and eating is happening every day, you can open your mouth for millions of dollars, you really think you are a fairy!" The more Liu Bei spoke, the more angry he became, and depending on the situation, he sent the family law to serve.
"Shaojun is angry, we just wanted to test it, but I didn't expect that Tang Zhou to take the bait." Liu Zisang, who was boiling water and cooking tea on the side, saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly spoke up.
"Shut up, let you follow Ah Le well, it's good for you to mess around together."
"Big brother, I promise, I won't dare to do it again." Yile is actually warm in his heart, and he is actually happy to be cared for.
Seeing Yile bow his head and admit his mistake, Liu Bei's tone slowly eased.
"Explain the sale of his potatoes!"
"Then answer me a few questions first."
"Say!"
"What are potatoes for?"
"Isn't this nonsense? Of course, it's for eating! ”
"If the yield is 100 stones per mu, will Dahan no longer have the worry of hunger?"
"That's nature."
"Then do you think it is more efficient for you to take potatoes and tell people from door to door that this grain can yield 100 stones per mu, or is it efficient for Tang Zhou to spread it to the people through Taiping Road?"
“……”
As soon as these words came out, no matter how stupid Liu Bei was, he understood the meaning of Yile, and Liu Bei was a smart person, but he was angry just now, and his wisdom was not online.
"You said before that Taiping Dao would be a scourge, if you let them get potatoes again, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings and the people's hearts will be more prosperous?" Liu Bei began to think about the problem normally.
"So we have to dedicate it to the court at the same time, as long as it is not the only one, the benefits will cancel each other, and the benefits of potatoes can be maximized, and in the end, the biggest benefit is the common people of our Han Dynasty, as for us, we just get some operating costs casually." Yile Road.
In fact, Yile still has an expectation, if potatoes can be popularized in Dahan in time, see if it can drag on this troubled era for a few years, the best state is that there is no Yellow Turban Army uprising.
"It's a bit risky, but it's a good idea." Perhaps after untying the knot, Liu Bei did not have much resistance to this kind of similar principle, and it can be regarded as acquiescing in Yile's approach.
So the matter of buying a store in Zhuoxian County is much easier to understand.
"Big brother, the matter of seeking an official position is imminent. Iron mills, wood mills, and silk weaving workshops all require government permits. At present, let's climb the big ship of Taiping Road, and an organization with a huge structure like this has a great demand for materials. It's so beneficial for us to grow. And in a sense, we can actually help the imperial court spy on them. ”
"Well, then let's set off in the spring next year, and according to what you said before, visit Mr. Lu Zhi, our mentor."
Fearlessness is a good quality, but fearless people generally don't end well. Because of fearlessness, they underestimate the difficulties and always think that if they are a little more fearless, they can get what they want.
Yile really wants to be this kind of fearless person, but the difficulties in front of him really can't be solved, and only he can solve them.
Perhaps worried that Yile would once again ignore the chaotic law and order of the Han Dynasty, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had to accompany him on this trip to Zhuozhou. This is very boring, like a prisoner, surrounded by three big men, and he can't even go to the thatched house. (To be continued, please collect)
