What happens after you occupy a new territory? Vigorously develop production!

The news of the army's invasion of Hue was sent by Ye Qi to Hoi An by clipper as soon as possible, and Li Shouhan was in the middle of his journey.

The news of the successful attack on Hue almost arrived on the front and back feet, and it was the good news that the main force of the Phoenix Battalion under Wang Bao had moved south from Phu Yen to capture the area north of Champa Domain. The Champa royal family had been compressed into a narrow area south of the feudal clan under Wang Bao's troops, gaining a population of more than hundreds of thousands.

The good news came again and again, and the people in the line couldn't help but thunder with joy.

"General's military order! Fan Lang, changed to Binh Thuan, set up a battalion. Preparation of silver mouth, household registration, one, etc., Baojia, etc. Standing at the gate of the line and loudly announcing the military order, the Cheng Qi officer did not know whether it was because he was inarticulate, or because he was too excited, he made mistakes one after another, which caused bursts of good-natured laughter from the onlookers.

Hu Zhongkang, Hu Licheng, and Lin Zhenying, but they were not in such a good mood at the moment, and they waited anxiously for Li Shouhan's reception on a row of chairs under the corridor according to the rules and regulations of their respective official positions.

As the sons and nephews of Hu Zhongkang and Lin Zhenying, they naturally want to be the only one who calls Hu Licheng, the old fox.

"Uncle Shi, why did the general summon me and others?" Hu Zhongkang, the second young master of the Hu family, was worried.

"Alas! It is estimated that the two of you are implicated by old decay! Hu Licheng put down the cigarette stick in his hand, and lightly knocked the tobacco in the wind-milled copper smoke pot on the leg of the chair, "In the naval battle that day, the old man was so quick that he ordered the gun commander to launch two rounds of rockets. ”

"Uncle Shi, that rocket is only five taels of silver. It's a thousand, but it's only five thousand taels, how can the three of us be worth the five thousand taels of silver, right? What's more, Uncle Shi broke the family for the country that day, and how many hearts did he win for the general? Such a great achievement, even in front of a small negligence general, it is natural that he should be forgiven. The young Lin Zhenying couldn't hold back a little, and opened her mouth there.

"Nephew Lin Xian, you know it, but you don't know why. This second round of rockets was fired, and the number of warships that our army could capture, and the prisoners were reduced by half. Hu Licheng was also full of chagrin, "That's nearly a hundred boats!" There are more than two thousand more. Not to mention anything else, hand it over to the shipping industry, how much silver can you earn in a year! ”

Hearing this, Hu and Lin were also speechless, and the three of them had to continue drinking tea under the porch, waiting in a sullen voice.

Finally, Li Shouhan, dressed in moon-white civilian clothes, appeared under the porch with a smile on his face.

When he landed, the hearts of the three people who had been hanging for a long time fell to the ground with a bang.

Without him, Li Shouhan was in a good mood, so he didn't care about the trivial things committed by these people, and if he wanted to punish them, why did Li Shouhan come to see them in person? Just a pro-soldier shouted, didn't they have to obediently go to see Shangguan?

After offering incense to the master in the Temple of Literature, the four of them sat down in front of the statues of Ziluyan, Hui Zigong and other sages, and the soldiers of the Han Dynasty brought fruits, refreshments and other things to entertain the three. This made Hu Linhu and the three of them feel more reassured.

After a few cups of tea and a few snacks, Shouhan wiped the dim sum residue from the corner of his mouth with a cotton cloth, "I said old fox, now that the overall situation of the battle in Jiangnan has been decided, shouldn't I settle accounts with you?!" ”

Get! Going around and around, I still have to mention the matter of the two rounds of rockets. Lin Zhenying was a little young in the end, and she couldn't help but open her mouth to defend Hu Licheng and her family. Hu Zhongkang, who was next to him, was calm and spicy, and stepped on him fiercely, signaling him to be calm and impatient.

"The subordinate officer is at fault, he should not have launched the second round of rockets without authorization, which caused our army to suffer undue losses and reduced the capture and population capture that should have been made." Hu Licheng admitted his mistake to Li Shouhan with a heavy face.

During the naval battle that day, Hu Licheng ordered Mo Da to fire another round of rockets on the Golden Lion, which completely destroyed the last bit of will of He Wen'e and Ruan Jiashuishi, turned around and fled the battlefield, so that the battle ended quickly. However, it also caused great damage. On the surface of the sea, there was a smell of burnt meat, which made many sailors swear that they would not want to eat meat anymore.

"Check it out! Which loser thing gave the order to open fire?! Let Lao Tzu lose so much?! It is said that after seeing the list of captures and the number of prisoners, the shouting and scolding of the guards in the cabin made the sailors who were on duty at the stern of the ship shudder.

"Lao Tzu wants to deduct his salary, Lao Tzu wants to deduct his dividends!" These words quickly spread in the fleet, and suddenly, many people looked at Mo Da and Hu Licheng's Golden Lion with either sympathy or a little schadenfreude.

"I said Lao Hu, you sit down first. Don't panic so much. Shouhan is very satisfied with Hu Licheng's tacit cooperation, this guy's acting skills are also good, very expressive, and in place.

"Lao Hu, do you say you are willing to fight or be punished?"

"How's it about admitting a beating? What about admitting punishment? ”

"Admit it! You don't want the opportunity to make a fortune here, and besides, within a year, if there is anything good in the General's Mansion, you don't want to participate, just think about it behind closed doors at home. ”

"This?!" Hu Licheng couldn't help but gasp half-truthfully, if he really ate a year's old rice at home, then compared with others, his own family would suddenly distance himself. Not to mention how much money was lost, this year's Chenguang alone can't afford to delay. Hu and Lin next to them were also a little anxious.

"My lord, what about admitting punishment?" Hu Zhongkang on the side had the courage to plead for Hu Licheng, half pleading, half asking.

"If you admit punishment! Looking at the face of the two of you, Brother Hu, Master Hu gave 5,000 silver to the school and added a dish to the children. ”

Although 5,000 silver is a lot, in the eyes of Hu Licheng's current value, it is still a lot more cost-effective compared to the time of the same year. What's more, from ancient times to the present, donating some anointing silver to the academy is something that can be put on the merit monument, and such a punishment is naturally reserved for him with dignity.

"My lord, my subordinates are willing to accept punishment. But I don't know what the adults said, there are good things to take care of their subordinates, what do you mean? ”

"Mr. Hu donated to support education, and I would like to thank Mr. Hu for the more than 10,000 students in my South Middle School." Shouhan ignored Hu Licheng's deliberately greedy face, but took the time to tidy up his clothes and solemnly give Hu Licheng a deep salute.

"Uncle Shi donated to help the school, and my Hu family naturally has no reason to be a bystander, and is willing to follow the sage, follow one or two, and also donate five thousand silver to pay for many students."

"My Lin family also donated 5,000 silver."

Now that Nanzhong is rich, these old officers who were attached to Li Shouhan at that time are all rich in family assets and donate 5,000 silver, although they are a little distressed, but they will not hurt their vitality.

"Needless to say, now that my southern and central regions have expanded. Every day, there are hundreds of Ding Zhuang people who enter our southern and central regions from all over the country, and by the end of a month, there are more than 10,000 people. The livelihood and food, clothing, shelter and transportation of these people are what we need to consider. ”

Today, Shouhan is looking for these three families, but it has another deep meaning. It is to popularize agricultural technology, piggyback on them, and support the three of them to become agricultural capitalists in the Nanzhong group.

"Lao Hu, in the Jiangnan area, there are many rivers and lakes, I intend to hand over these water surfaces to you and let you raise fish, what do you think?"

Fish farming? These words made the old fox Hu Licheng a little hesitant, and now he is a major dealer of salt, controlling a large area from Lingjiang to Zhancheng and Shuizhenla, and he can use daily income to calculate his income every day, but the adult asked him to raise fish? Isn't this picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons?

He was quickly calculating the gains and losses in his heart, but Lin Zhenying next to him was young and fast-talking, "My lord, now on the market in Hejing Mansion, the carp of five catties is only a penny of silver, and it has already caught up with the market price of the Wanli Emperor period." Of course, this is all due to the method of raising fish in the rice fields. If I wait to raise fish, this, this ......" He couldn't think of what to say for a while, he couldn't say, we don't want to make a loss-making deal, right?

"Hello little family!" Shouhan looked at Hu Licheng and the others, who had been sneering for a long time and refused to say it, and we were not willing to lose money, and couldn't help laughing and scolding. "Master Hu, I heard that among the old people, you are known for your good calculations with one hand, and you can make two calculations with both hands, but is there such a thing?"

"Yes, that's a little trick of the subordinates, and I don't dare to show it off in front of adults, but it's not unpleasant." Talking about his pride, the old fox also had a smug face.

"Okay, I'll ask Master Hu to settle two accounts for me."

"Please give me advice."

A handful of rosewood frames, ivory as pillars, and jade as a thirteen-gear abacus were placed in front of Hu Licheng, and he sat calmly and calmly, waiting for Li Shouhan's topic attentively.

"Nowadays, there are about one million acres of rice fields in my south and central China that use silicon fertilizer as fertilizer, this thing is good, but there is one thing that is not, the rice fields that have applied this thing cannot raise fish, just ask, according to the calculation of one million acres of rice fields, how many fish can be raised?"

"What do you mean? ......" The old fox Hu Licheng's eyes began to glow with a gleam.

"According to my newly promulgated regulations, how many people will be cultivating these million acres of paddy fields?"

"This ...... Your Excellency, at least 20,000 or more Ding Zhuang. Hu Licheng's bald head began to appear fine beads of sweat, this seems to be beyond the scope of accounting, he keenly feels that this account, it seems, is related to the adult said to make a fortune, but where the correlation knows, he can't think of it.

"My lord, do you mean that these water surfaces, and these people, used to eating fish in the past, but now they can't eat the fish in their own paddy fields, so they have to think about buying them?" It was Lin Zhenying next to her who opened her mouth to relieve Hu Licheng, giving the old fox a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

"If I have the means and skills, I can make these 20,000 people, or even more, eat the fish you raised. According to the current market price, Lord Hu, how much profit can you make in a year? ”

"My lord, since the adults popularized the technique of raising fish and ducks in rice fields, the price of fish fry is about one penny per fry. Five catties of carp, the market price is one penny of silver, and three or five hundred thousand tails are three or five thousand silver!! ”

As soon as the words came out, the old fox hurriedly added, "But, my lord, you know, fish above five catties are becoming more and more expensive, especially more than eight catties." It can be sold for almost two cents. ”

When he said this, he was implicit. While promoting fish and duck farming in rice fields, Li Shouhan quietly carried out the experiment of cage fish farming, of course, it is not a cage in the modern sense. However, even at this low-tech level, it is possible to produce carp and other species that are more than eight catties. Speaking of this, Hu Licheng couldn't help but feel his heart pounding, could it be that this is the wealth that the general said? If I can raise tens of thousands of fish of about eight catties, I will also have tens of thousands of taels of silver in the account in that year! What's more, there are fishing boats at sea, refined salt sales on land.

He looked at Li Shouhan with the eyes of a child looking forward to new clothes and delicious food, and Shouhan smiled, "It's still the number I originally said, one hundred carp, half male and half female." If you follow my previous methods, hatch and breed the fry, and then feed them in the pond. ”

While listening, Hu Licheng kept nodding his head, like a chicken pecking at broken rice.

"Feeding is best done with soy milk."

These words suddenly surprised the three people present, this, it is too unbelievable, right? Soy milk? Nowadays, not everyone can drink anything! Without him, although some plots of land have been arranged to grow soybeans, peanuts, sesame and other crops, after all, the quantity is too small, and they still have to be purchased from the mainland. However, Shouhan still didn't care about it.

"After feeding the fry and hatching small fish, they should be fed with soybean milk, and a bucket of soybean milk (50 catties) should be used per acre. Remember to knock the bucket with a wooden spoon before feeding the soy milk and tell the fish fry to start the meal. After 15 days of continuous feeding, the grown fry are scooped up and put into the cage where they were made, and thrown into the pond for feeding. ”

"Lord, my subordinates are willing to invest all the rest of their family's wealth in this matter, but there are still a few things that are unclear, and I hope that the lord will tell me clearly." After thinking about it for a long time, Hu Licheng made up his mind and gambled! I gambled on the city tower that day, in exchange for today's daily gold, and today I gambled again, maybe, I can enter the gold all the time in the future!

Hum! You are like a ghost, and you have to drink Lao Tzu's footwashing water! Shouhan was secretly proud in his heart, and his purpose was to support his subordinates to become figures similar to monopoly capital in various fields, and these three were the breeding and processing industry capital in agricultural capital. In the face of the huge profits brought about by technology, no one can resist this temptation.

Clapping his hands with high fives, Shouhan motioned to the soldiers around him to take the worship box in the study.

Opening the box, Hu Licheng hurriedly glanced at a few times, only to see that there were pictures, there were words, what to throw the seeds to lay wicker and other branches and leaves in the water, when hatching to take out the wicker, spread it on the flat ground, let the sun be sufficient, and also to ensure the moisture of the wicker, not to let the fish roe dry. What surprised the old fox the most was that almost half of the text on the cages in which the fish were flipped seeds was devoted to the method of decontamination. The cage should be soaked in salt water for a day to be disinfected, and then taken out to dry after disinfection, and then disinfected in salt water, at least more than three times, so that the cage is clean and suitable for fish seeds.

"Lord, I don't know how much you can gain after such a while?" Flipping through the thin booklet, Hu Licheng expressed his doubts.

"Just now you have calculated the number of fry, I tell you, according to my method, the survival rate of feeding fry is about ninety, if you are more careful, maybe it can reach ninety-five. Do the math, for a penny a fish fry, how much can you receive when you sell it to a farmer who raises fish in the rice field? And then how much can you earn per year from your own farming? Not to mention fresh fish, you can process it into salted fish, fish floss, canned food, and so on. ”

Shouhan's words are good, his vision is also good, and the person who chose Hu Licheng is indeed very attentive, and in a few years, what has the fish farming career developed in Nanzhong to Chengdu? Two things can be seen. One is a new immigrant who was working on a pig farm and was surprised to find that the sows who gave birth were given fish soup. The purpose is the same as that of people, to ensure nutrition and milk. The other is a folk standard, only the poor can only eat fish every day.

Hu Licheng left with the worship box in both hands, as if holding a cornucopia. Behind him, Hu Zhongkang and Lin Zhenying looked at the worship box in his hand with jealousy. I can't take it away and keep it for myself.

"Two brothers," Shou Han and the two young masters who talked about their brothers in terms of seniority, naturally had to change their tone to another tone. "I gave the method of fish farming to Uncle Hu family, naturally I will not favor one over the other, you two families, I also have my own skills."

"My lord, after several years of construction, the roads in the north of the river have been extended in all directions, do you want to build roads in the south of the Yangtze River?" Lin Zhenying, who has been engaged in the construction industry for three generations, was a little excited. "Or build fortresses, villages, forts, barracks, and ports?"

Hu Zhongkang glanced at him, "Don't want to Luo, just listen to the instructions of the adults!" ”

Shouhan smiled, these large-scale capital construction is naturally going to be carried out, but not now.

"What is the most of us in Nanzhong right now?" Shouhan began to follow the temptation again.

About an hour later, Hu Zhongkang and Lin Zhenying stumbled into their carriage with excitement and longing on their faces, and each flipped through the booklet given to them by Shouhan, "Good girl, it turns out that pigs can be raised like this?!" ”

"Yes! Unexpectedly, the originally useless chaff, wheat bran, and invaluable bean cakes in our mills and vertebral mills are all good things to feed! ”

"This nature, the most unexpected thing I expected, is that the general will divide the pigs into three, six, nine and so on according to weight, and have different feed formulas, although there are sugar, fish meal, salt, rapeseed and other things, but, within half a year, can make the piglets become one hundred and thirty pounds of pigs, this money, the value of the money!"

"Yes, even the soaking time and water temperature of the spring, summer, autumn and winter seasons after the beans and grains are crushed are marked in detail."

"Second brother," Lin Zhenying changed her affectionate title, "Your Excellency handed over all the mulberry trees in Jiangbei to us, how much can you produce in a year for about 200,000 mu of mulberry trees?" ”

Since Shouhan put forward the concept of mulberry fish ponds, in the past few years, there have been nearly 200,000 acres of mulberry trees in the area north of the Lingjiang River. In addition, in the two fish and pig farming, the Li family has to occupy 20% of the dividends, in addition, the three families also take out 10% of the profits to donate to education.

"Brother Yu once heard the silk merchants in the mainland say that each mu of mulberry field can produce 1,600 catties of mulberry leaves, 10 catties of silkworms, 100 catties of cocoons, and 10 catties of silk reeling. In other words, these 200,000 acres of mulberry trees can produce 2 million catties of silk. According to the rating of the eight-class system proposed by the general, it is also a lot of profit! ”

"Second brother, you say, what happened in the direction of Hue that made the general so annoyed?"

"It seems that after the army entered the city, they saw a mountain of treasures and gold silk in the palace, and beautiful women, who did not listen to moderation, and plundered on a large scale. It seems that this time the former enemy's leading officers are going to have some bad luck. ”
