Yelu Xi Nilie is in the Jurchen, and his location is in the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River. As long as Yelu Xi's head is not crippled to the extent of Yelu Flower Tower, he will not lead a large group of men and horses to war. Most likely, he will send someone to negotiate with him to ransom the more than 300 captured pirates.

In this case, it would be even better, because it would be possible to justifiably let the pirates who had already turned against the water go back to Shuangyu Island, and it would be very easy for the inside and outside to take Shuangyu Island.

Yelu Xi Nilie and Yelu Huata are still quite upright, although they have fallen into a skin injury, but they do not hold a grudge against Tian Shiyi. It's really embarrassing to go to someone else's house to propose marriage to someone else's lady, and the two of them really can't raise hatred.

Unable to recruit Tian Shiyi to his subordinates, Yelu Xi Nilie was quite regretful, but he still decided to try Shuangyu Island.

After sending the two away, Brother Eleven sent people to follow secretly, and sure enough, he found that they were hiding hundreds of Khitan warriors outside the city. The identity on the surface is a caravan from the Khitan, and all kinds of customs clearance documents are complete.

Can it not be complete, the official fake certificate is a real one.

After receiving the reward, the Khitan caravan did go straight to the sea, and had already left Hangzhou for more than 100 miles, so Tian Shiyi was relieved. There are too many people around, and if the Khitans secretly come back to take revenge, it will be unbearable to hurt any of them.

The thirty-six shareholders are all influential figures in the business world, and they are really much stronger than the hairy girls under Brother Eleven, and the workshop can be put into production in a few minutes. On the contrary, Wang Shaowu was idle all day long, and even assigned the things assigned to him to the rest of the shareholders.

Because of the identity of a marquis, those shareholders didn't dare to do anything, so they helped to do it together. When Brother Eleven asked Wang Shaowu about it, Wang Hou Ye actually laughed at his laziness and greed, but he was not good at anything else, worried that if things were not done well, the company's business would be delayed, so he handed it over to other shareholders to do.

"Lazy and greedy?" Brother Eleven looked at the prince and said in surprise: "You have a very high opinion of yourself!" ”

Wang Shaowu's smile froze, and he felt that Brother Eleven's mouth had been getting darker and darker recently.

In the workshop of the Great Song Dynasty, it has always been about what work and what kind of money is paid, but Xilou Co., Ltd. is different, it is actually phosphorus salary, piecework, full attendance award and so on. Wang Shaowu calculated and found that the highest-paid workers in the workshop were nearly three times higher than the wages in other workshops.

In addition to the reward, there are naturally penalties, if the quantity or quality of the piece count is not up to standard for three consecutive months, then it will be fired.

Tian Shiyi's method is: In this way, even if the workers are not required to work overtime, they will take the initiative to work overtime, and they can also see which workers are better, and then they can promote the grassroots leaders from the excellent ones, and even promote them to work in the company. In this way, the enthusiasm of the workers will be increased, which will contribute to healthy competition within the company.

For Brother Eleven's various methods, Wang Shaowu and the thirty-six shareholders admired it from the bottom of their hearts.

Li Dayong, a shareholder specializing in vegetable oil, praised: "We people can only make copper money, but Brother Eleven can win people's hearts, but this ability can't be learned." ”

When it comes to Li Dayong, it is necessary to start the vegetable oil in Hangzhou.

The price of vegetable oil sold by the joint-stock company at the beginning was not low, for the sake of the profiteers who hoarded goods.

The price of lard soared, and the people began to fry vegetables with vegetable oil, and the profiteers really bought vegetable oil as Tian Shiyi expected. Nine times out of ten, the vegetable oil sold by the joint-stock company was bought by the traitors in various ways. At the same time, the profiteers also went to other places to buy a large number of money, ready to make a lot of money.

Where did they think that Brother Eleven had hoarded a large amount of vegetable oil early, coupled with the connections and channels of thirty-six shareholders, the vegetable oil of the West Building Company was not only not bought short by them, but the price was getting lower and lower. By the time the price of vegetable oil fell to parity, the profiteers had reached their limit, and they had no money to continue buying and no place to hoard in large quantities. And vegetable oil also has an expiration date, and it will be discarded after a long time.

In desperation, profiteers began to sell vegetable oil in reverse. Because the price of oil in Hangzhou is too low, they want to sell it to other countries.

At this time, an unfamiliar businessman came and bought vegetable oil at a price slightly higher than the market price. The profiteers sold it one after another, and the vegetable oil returned to the hands of the West House Company, and the price was much cheaper than if it had been bought in other places.

Under the repeated measures, Tian Shiyi not only stabilized the oil price in Hangzhou, but also stabilized the price of vegetable oil in the surrounding areas.

Wang Shaowu secretly hyped up what Brother Eleven had done in the vegetable oil turmoil, and there were countless praises in Hangzhou for a while, and the name Tian Shiyi became a household name in a blink of an eye.

Tian Shiyi didn't care at all, he was admiring the newly completed papermaking workshop and printing workshop on the rocky slope at this time. This is his private property, not a grain of business in a joint-stock company

In this era, reading is still a very luxurious thing, because paper is a luxury, and paper for writing is even more expensive. As for books, they are not affordable for ordinary people.

As early as the time of Song Renzong, Bi Sheng had already invented movable type printing, but because it touched the interests of certain classes, advanced printing technology was hidden, and it was not popularized at this time. The cost of engraving printing is not a star and a half when it is higher than that of movable type printing.

Seeing that the paper mill and the printing workshop had been put into production, Brother Eleven asked Ping Daoren to develop a special kind of paper.

Ping Daoren listened to Brother Eleven strangely, and finally couldn't hide the doubts in his heart, and asked what that kind of soft paper could be used for. When he heard that the soft paper was made to wipe his ass after the ceremony, he felt that his whole person was not good for a moment.

It's not good, it's not good, Ping Daoren has already been cleaned up by Brother Eleven, and he honestly said that he would find a way to develop it.

Seeing that the recruits of the army are becoming more and more powerful, what is lacking at this time is only actual combat. Brother Eleven felt that it seemed that it was time to attack Shuangyu Island, but there was no news from the First Fleet, and even Hu Cake, who was supposed to come back a long time ago, did not come back.

The pirates had been thoroughly integrated into the army, and Tian Shiyi was now very sure that there would be no problem in sending these pirates back to Shuangyu Island as undercover agents.

Mao Dahai was in a daze every day except for work, and Li Dengke tried his best to get him to join the army, so he had to let it go.

Returning to the other courtyard by carriage, I just wanted to go to see Liu's family, but Ranshipo sent someone to chase him to the city. Brother Eleven glanced at his heart and raised his throat, and it turned out to be Li Bao who came back, and Li Bao was followed by more than a dozen veterans of the Yuan Ci Army, who are now the backbone of the First Fleet.

In an instant, Tian Shiyi's mind turned countless possibilities, maybe the First Fleet was shipwrecked, maybe it was killed and wiped out on the island, maybe it was a tough battle with pirates and suffered heavy losses, maybe it was a dog who died in battle......
