Chapter 52: Sun Simiao
On the second day, without waiting for Li Zhi to take the little thing to Chang'an City to find the little fat man Zhuang Daya, the goods came back by himself, of course, the little yellow horse also followed back to the house, let the little thing play with Xiao Huang by himself, and he could free his hands to go to Zhongnan Mountain.
But before that, there is one more thing that needs to be resolved, and that is Huang Licai's son Huang Shutong.
This guy entered Zhuangzi a few days ago, but Li Zhi didn't come back, and it was impossible for him to enter the research institute without Li Zhi's permission, so he had to be wronged to live in Zhuang Wuchen's house first.
Zhuang Budian should have seen him yesterday, and of course he also knew the news of Li Zhi's return, early in the morning, Li Zhi just came back from running and saw that he had been waiting at the door for a while.
After washing, a few people sat opposite each other, and now the furniture in the house is added, which is handmade by the men in Zhuangzi in their spare time, so it is similar to the tables and stools of later generations in accordance with the style required by Li Zhi.
Compared with the previous sitting on the ground, the tables and stools were naturally and quickly accepted by the people in Zhuangzi, and now it is also considered a set for each family, and Huang Shutong, who is also considered wealthy, remembered that when he came to Zhuangzi a few days ago, it was like the first time a countryman entered the city.
Moreover, he had never seen such a wealthy village, and in addition to the "mansions" that ordinary farmers could not even imagine, such as blue brick and large tile houses, there were also almost every family with one or even two large livestock, and there was enough food in the wheat urn for one or two years......
To sum it up in a few words, it is neat and tidy, rich and healthy!
And he clearly knows what this Zhuangzi was like in the past, in just a few months, it has developed into such a scale, which can only show one thing, that is, Li Zhi is not a greedy person, and he is willing to distribute a huge amount of wealth, just this kind of courage makes him feel that the trip is worthwhile, and he is more determined to follow.
At this time, Huang Shutong was the first time to have a face-to-face discussion with Li Zhi, it was inevitable that he was nervous, and he was also sitting upright, Li Zhi poured him a glass of water, and said straight to the point: "I am very short of people now, since you are here, at least I want to give it a try, at least at this stage, I am still more welcome, and now there are two ways for you to choose:
First, there is a lack of a Mr. Mengxue in the village, I heard your father say that you have been studying for a few years, and you can give full play to your strengths and serve as a lecturer in Mengxue for our Zhuangzi and the Xuejiazhuang next to it. Second, I'm going to plan a brewing workshop to make a lot of quick money, and you can participate, but you have to make a contract, because this brewing method is still in the secret stage, and after it is promoted, you can stay freely. ”
Li Zhi stretched out his hand and signaled that the other party could drink saliva, Huang Shu was nearly ten years old in the same year, but he behaved like a primary school student in front of him, and quickly got up and took a sip of the water cup with both hands, without the slightest resistance, Li Zhi smiled, and after the other party sat down again, he continued:
"As for the benefits for you: the school lecturer, there is no oil and water, but it is leisurely, you can settle here if you want, I will find someone to help. Joining the brewing workshop, there are many benefits, the salary is generous, you can also master this craft, and after the secrecy stage, I will not say anything if you start a new business, and even give you a lot of investment, you consider it yourself. ”
Anyway, he is not in a hurry to let him express his position, let him think about it, if he can come back tonight, he will go to him, and he will come back tomorrow at the latest, he can also come to him, Huang Shuxin is not calm, it is still a little different from what he guessed before, there is one more choice that does not seem to be very good, he really needs to think about it.
After the little fat man returned home, he and Zhuang Buyu brothers, plus a few brothers from passers-by, followed Li Zhi and set off, the road to Zhongnanshan took about two hours, and the fastest way was of course to ride a horse.
The first thing Li Zhi thought of was his Uncle Cao, the township elder Cao Chengjin! His entire Xue Jiazhuang is composed of Xue Li's subordinate veterans, Xue Li takes care of it outside, and Cao Cheng Jindong scrapes together inside, which can be regarded as saving a lot of money, of course, there must not be much money before, but there is no shortage of war horses and materials, in order to be able to pull up a team that dares to fight at any time, and follow their main generals to gallop on the battlefield when needed.
This is a very common phenomenon in Li Tang, and even the state has an encouraging attitude towards this phenomenon, as a government soldier, at least the state will give you the greatest favoritism in terms of taxation, so in terms of fighting to the death for the country, you can't help but not fight.
Of course, this model is also an important reason for Li Tang's later transition from strength to decline.
Easily, easily, Li Zhi and they took out the war horses from Xuejiazhuang, one for each person, Li Zhi saw the brand-new saddle pedals on these horses, and then looked at Cao Lao'er, who was smiling and couldn't see his eyebrows, and knew that he was afraid that the Xue family's treasury had been full recently, so he purchased a batch of new goods, and many parts were good things made of wrought iron.
As soon as he asked about the price, he couldn't help but complain about the old man of the eldest grandson Wuji: "What kind of broken thing can dare to pay five hundred yuan!" It's really a monopoly everywhere, and it's no wonder that your nephew is not used to seeing you, no matter how conscientious you are, you can't control your hands, and sooner or later you will still invite disaster! ”
Li Zhi thanked the old man Cao, taking advantage of the early sun, a few young people galloped wildly, two hours of travel, it only took an hour and a half to arrive, the end is a lack of people and horses, after all, the foundation of his own Zhuangzi is still not as thick as the foundation that Lao Xue has saved for many years, only said that the crotch of this second-class war horse, produced in the horse farm on the Longyou grassland, sold to Chang'an City at the lowest price is between six and eight runs, the better first-class war horse, is from the Turkic Dunma, the price is nine or even higher, as for the level of BMW similar to the lion skull, It can be said that there is no market!
In addition to the daily service materials, a year's horse material has to prepare another one or two dollars, which is why the imperial court exempted the government soldiers from the field tax and some miscellaneous taxes, horses and equipment need to be prepared by the government soldiers, and the court only needs to provide grain and grass and military support in wartime.
With such a big livestock, the people on Li Zhi Zhuangzi are not as popular as that much money, but no one doubts that they will soon have these things!
The Taoist temple where Sun Simiao stopped is not the famous Louguantai, but a small Taoist temple hidden in the Zhongnan Mountain, there is no ordinary Taoist temple like to build on the top of the mountain or the stinky problem of the beautiful scenery, just ask a person, you will know that the place is built on the sunny slope behind a village called Hejiaao more than ten miles into the mountain, Li Zhi and others have not yet come to the door, the strong smell of herbs will come to the face.
