It seems that a letter should be sent to Pei Shiju and Pei Yun immediately to ask about the progress of the excavation of this iron coal. In the future, the focus of work can shift from agriculture to industry. Coal! With it, it is not only convenient for life, but also can be used to make steel, thus improving the quality of the knives, guns and weapons in the hands of soldiers today. To dominate the world, these are indispensable! There's so much to do. Yang Er shook his head painfully when he thought of this.

Back in the study, two volumes of letters were placed on the desk. Yang Er opened it and looked closely, one was sent by Pei Shiju in Luzhou, Hedong, and the other was a letter from Liang Shitai in Shaohua Valley.

Yang Er looked at them separately, and after muttering for half a salary, he said to Zhong Jian at the door: "Let people go and invite Taifu and Liu Wenjing, Yu Wenhua and the two gentlemen, as well as Mr. Lu Zhaolin from the backyard, you go and call Laihu'er over, I have something to discuss with you." Zhong Jian nodded and went out immediately. Chuchen tiptoed into the house at this time, she saw the prince with a heavy face, his face was very bad, thinking that he was in poor health, so she stared at Yang Er's face carefully.

Yang Er looked up and saw Izuchen looking at him, and hurriedly asked, "Sister Izuchen, am I handsome, brother?" Makes you so out of shape. ”

When I woke up, I hurriedly retracted my gaze, my face was slightly red, and said: "Little sister, I have been helping in front of my uncle recently, and I often ask about medicine, and my uncle never hides it, but if you ask something, you will answer it." Therefore, the little sister also learned some medical skills, and just saw that the face of the world brother was gloomy, and Yin Tang was black, and it was expected that she must be unwell. Therefore, take a closer look, so it seems that the world brother should be fine. ”

"I often hear that the medical technique is expected to smell the four techniques, this "hope" is the first step, it seems that my sister has not yet reached the essence of the word, and the art is not refined! Yang Er got up and said to the dust.

"Oh, Brother Shi still understands the art of this apricot forest? The little sister has already said that the world brother is now looking normal and there is no big problem, is it wrong? "Izumi was a little surprised.

"Can you only look at people's faces to diagnose diseases, don't you see that for more than a month, my son has stayed in the house every day, staying at home, his face is much whiter than before, and he is a little more mature and handsome?" Yang Er dragged it complacently.

"Little sister, I only saw four big words on my brother's face: Tian is shameless!" After speaking, Chuchen covered his mouth and smiled, leaning back and forth, and the flowers and branches trembled.

Yang Er looked at the laughter, his whole body trembled, and he was speechless for a while. The heart said, this girl is not a little reserved, I don't know that there is no such thing as "chest z" in this era? Look at your bouncing up and down, like a rabbit in your arms. Anyway, do you want to make one for Sister Chen? If you want to be a hooligan, you have to be a classy hooligan!

Seeing Yang Er's serious face staring at him, he hurriedly cleaned up the smile on his face, and turned around to go out.

At this time, Yu Wenshu, Liu Wenjing, Yu Wenhua, Lu Zhaolin and Lai Hu'er walked into the study one after another, and after seeing the ceremony, Yang Er beckoned everyone to sit down, and Chuchen was also busy beckoning the maids to serve everyone tea. Then he and Zhong Jian stood behind Yang Er and listened quietly.

Yang Er first picked up the teacup on the main seat, took a sip and moistened his throat, and then said: "I have here the letter from Mr. Shiju of Hedong County and General Liang Shitai of Shaohua Mountain, you can take a look at it first." After speaking, he gave the two letters to Yu Wenshu and Lu Zhaolin on the left and right respectively, and asked them to pass them on first.

When the letter returned to Yang Second-hand, Yang Er said softly: "Let's talk about the situation in Hedong County first, earlier this king has arranged for Luzhou to buy more rice and grains, plus Hedong has now widely planted fast-growing and productive potatoes and sweet potatoes, about hundreds of thousands of hectares, not far from the golden autumn harvest. This king wants to choose a large granary in Luzhou, and the granary here should ensure that there is no shortage of grain in the Heluo area, and the granary is called "Heluo Cang"! What do you think? ”

"Then according to the prince's intentions, how much grain should be stored in Heluocang here?" As the former county governor in charge of civil affairs and grain production in Yao County, Lu Zhaolin was extremely sensitive to this granary, and asked a question next.

Yang Er pondered for a moment and said: "The minimum storage starts at 5 million stones, the more the better." If this king foresees well, there will be a spring famine or even war in the coming year. Therefore, it is necessary to store as much food as possible for the times to change. ”

"Your Highness, according to the report from our spies, all parts of the country have been greatly reduced due to the drought this summer, and the land harvest has been greatly reduced. Liu Wenjing continued the topic. He was born in Wugong County, and he knew what it meant.

Suddenly, Yang Xing appeared at the door, walked in quickly, and arched his hand: "Master, Jicheng Zheng Fengchi and his son are asking to see him outside the door, saying that there is something important to report in person." ”

"Yang Xing, quickly bring the Zheng family father and son to meet, let the servants add a few more chairs to come in, and you can also sit down and listen." Yang Er hurriedly ordered Yang Xing, and Yang Xing promised to go out quickly.

In a moment, I saw Yang Xing leading four people into the study, in addition to the Zheng family father and son, there were also two middle-aged men.

"Xiaomin greets the prince Chitose." Zheng Fengchi led the way to the middle of the main hall of the study and hurriedly led everyone to bow down.

"Zheng don't be exempt, it's hard to come to the capital, please sit down and speak, who are these two?" Yang Er said very politely to the group.

"Thank you, Lord Wang! These two people are not outsiders, but the two brothers of the villain, and the Zheng family relies on these two brothers to support them to get to where they are today. This is Zheng Fengju, the big director of my Zheng family's Jingshi industry, and this is Zheng Fengzhuo, the big manager of my Zheng family's stores across the country. As soon as Zheng Fengchi's voice fell, Zheng Fengju and Zheng Fengzhuo hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects. Then he turned to the side of the seat and sat down for the last time, and sat in the last seat Yang Xing. At this time, Yang Xing was not only Yang Er's personal manager, but one of the main persons in charge of Wuliangchun Liquor Industry in the Jin Palace, and he had the qualifications to sit down and hold a meeting. Yang Er saw that he was heartfelt, reliable, and diligent, and he also intended to promote him, for which Yang Xing was also grateful.

"It just so happened that the king of Fang Cai talked to the staff here about preparing to build a Luohe warehouse in Hedong, a few months ago I asked Zheng Beijia to sell more Jiechi salt to various places in exchange for military and horse food, I don't know how Zheng Beijia is going on this matter?" Yang Er asked the Zheng family father and son.

"Tell the prince, my father and son dare not slack off on the prince's trust, as of today, 35,000 good horses have been purchased from the north, all of which have been paid to Master Pei Sima, and according to Sima's order, 12,000 of them will be sent to at least General Liang of Huashan." Zheng Fengchi finished talking about the military horse in one breath.

Next to him, his son Zheng Xu hurriedly reported: "I know that my Zheng family caravan will sell the refined salt of Jiechi to various states from south to north, and return with grain and rice. In the past few months, as many as 3 million stones have been purchased, all of which have been shipped to Luzhou to pay the deed to Pei Zhushu. ”

"Good. This matter needs to continue, and it takes more trouble to drive the father and son. In addition, Zheng Beijia is too old to go out too much, and he can hand it over to a reliable person to do it. Zheng Beijia was in the Luzhou Mansion and cooperated with Pei to manage the state's commerce and food. In the future, this king will still have a lot of use, don't be busy now. Out of sincerity, Yang Er really didn't want the old man to be overworked. In this era, the roads were not only difficult to walk, but also relied on walking, horseback riding, and sleeping in the open, and people could not bear it when they were old.

"Thank you for your concern, this meeting with the prince is exactly what he wants, so he invited the two clan brothers out to assist the prince in his success. The "Wuliangchun" wine produced by the prince can be handed over to my two younger brothers to be responsible for the sales of Beijing and the whole country, and my Zheng family will not take any of the proceeds from the sale, please rest assured. Zheng Fengchi and his clansmen had already seen the general trend of the world from what King Chitose of Jin had done, and knew that sooner or later the Great Sui Dynasty would inevitably be obtained by King Jin, so he pressed his net worth early and handed over all the resources of his clan to King Chitose of Jin.

"Okay, the Zheng family treats me with sincerity, and this king will never fail the Zheng family. Yang Xing, let me explain how you are doing with your purchase of Wufeng Restaurant? "Yang Er has always been restrained by Wufeng Restaurant because of the purchase of wine lees, and Wufeng Cui Bottle Fragrant Wine has been suppressed by Wuliang Spring Wine, and now the monthly wine production has dropped sharply, which has also aroused the dissatisfaction of the shopkeeper of Wufeng Restaurant. After all, the monthly liquor tax is paid to the government in a fixed amount, and the government does not care whether you make money or not. So Yang Er came up with the idea of acquiring his winery, which can be regarded as a move to help the shopkeeper Zhang unload his burden.

"Back to the master, the slave is negotiating with the shopkeeper about the quota of five grains of spring wine per month, and everything else has been negotiated." Yang Xing hurriedly got up and reported to his master.

"Okay, Yang Xing, you only need to take care of the liquor making of the Wuliang Spring Wine Workshop, and hand over the follow-up negotiation with the shopkeeper on the purchase of his wine workshop to Mr. Zheng Fengju. In the future, Mr. Feng Ju will be engaged in my Jin Palace, and he will focus on the marketing of Wuliang Spring Wine throughout the country. Set aside a wide room in the backyard winery and set it as Mr. Fengju's office, and you will cooperate. Another person was sent to buy the house adjacent to the backyard of our house and use it for the expansion of the winery. Yang Xing hurriedly replied yes.

"Don't worry, the shopkeeper of Wufeng Restaurant and I are friends who have a lot of dealings in the business field, and the villain will inevitably say that he will do something convenient for my lord. My Zhengjia stores are all over the place, and most of them are well-known restaurants around the world, but I'm afraid that this wine is not enough to sell! Zheng Fengju saw that the prince had instructions, so he hurriedly got up and promised. Yang Er and everyone laughed when they heard this.

"Mr. Lu will not participate in the winery from today onwards, and he will also hand over to Mr. Fengju, and this king has other important things to entrust." Yang Er whispered to Lu Zhaolin, and Lu Zhaolin also got up and nodded and sat down silently.

"Mr. Zhaoxing and Mr. Hua Hehe's military intelligence department has added a thrifty officer, Mr. Zheng Fengzhuo has joined the military intelligence department of my Jin Wangfu to take up the post of military intelligence department, and the Zheng family's stores all over the state are the best places for the dispatch of military intelligence personnel, and they can be used directly without further construction. The store manager may appoint a hundred households in the military intelligence department at his discretion, and the expatriate personnel can directly use the store as a cover. Yang Er said to Liu and Yuwen.

Liu Wenjing and Yu Wenhua nodded to each other, thinking that such an arrangement would get twice the result with half the effort, and it could be directly solved in a very short period of time by spreading the eyeliner network across the country, and the personnel station, etc., and they were a lot easier.

"It is valued by the prince, and I will try my best to cooperate with the two adults." Zheng Fengzhuo saw that he was trusted by King Jin when they met for the first time and was entrusted with important responsibilities by his cronies, so he was moved and hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Okay, just now said that the preparation for the construction of the Luohe warehouse, this king wants to store at least 5 million stone of grain in the warehouse after the autumn harvest, does Zheng Beijia think it is feasible?" When Yang Er talked about the food problem, he still had to consult the Zheng family master, who was crazy about buying food for himself.

Zheng Fengchi is now overjoyed that his two clan brothers have been reused by the prince of Jin, one is responsible for collecting money, and the other is responsible for intelligence collection, both of which are important positions. Suddenly, he heard the words of the prince of Jin, and hurriedly replied: "Xia Guan thinks that this matter is not difficult, and now he has purchased 3 million stones of foreign grain, and Hedong County has opened hundreds of thousands of hectares of land under the auspices of Lord Pei Sima. It should be sure that 5 million stone of grain storage will be completed. Zheng Fengchi glanced at his son and saw that his son's face was natural, so he said with certainty.

"The food produced must also ensure the food of the 50,000 garrisons, I think Master Pei has to work harder!" Under the instruction of Yang Er, Hedong County was presided over by Li Jing and continued to recruit people privately, and now it has gradually formed an army of nearly 50,000 that can be mobilized at any time, not including the thousands of soldiers stationed in various places. In Pei Shiju's letter, it was mentioned that there were 20,000 horse troops and 30,000 infantry troops, with sufficient horses, armor and weapons, and they had gradually become elite soldiers in daily drills. In addition, in my Shaohua Valley Special Zone, it has jurisdiction over Shaohua Mountain Cottage, more than 200,000 acres of fertile land valley, Iron Hammer Village, Tongjiazhuang, Shijiazhuang, Jinjiazhai and other 4 villages. There are nearly 8,000 households, a population of about 150,000, and a garrison of 15,000. The king wants to build a new Guangtong warehouse in the Shaohua valley and store 3 million stones. The grain trafficked by Zheng Shaodong's family in the future can be transported to the Guangtong warehouse in Shaohua Mountain for storage. After Yang Er finished talking about his idea, he commanded Zheng Xu.

Zheng Xu hurriedly got up and promised.
