Chapter 304: September in the blink of an eye

With the establishment of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, the construction of the old city is already imminent, when he returned to the county just now, Su Bai also went to take a look, although the construction has begun, but this kind of work efficiency has not met Su Bai's expectations.

This matter needs to be discussed with Tang Ju, and under the condition of ensuring safety, it should be completed as quickly as possible, whether to use bonuses to motivate workers, or directly increase manpower, this is what the two need to discuss.

Thinking of this, Su Bai rubbed his head a little helplessly, he still needed to recruit some people as soon as possible, if he was busy with everything, he would be really tired!

Tang Ju got out of the carriage at the door and trotted all the way into the palace, not caring about the image of his county lord at all.

Immediately afterwards, the door was closed inside, and only Su Bai and Tang Ju were muttering something inside, no one knew, only that the next day, in the two neighboring counties, workers came to the county one after another to work.

Time came to July 7th, Qixi Festival, because of the participation of workers from other counties, the speed of work is obviously faster! It's only been more than half a month, and there are already some appearances. Su Bai took two glances and understood, the local workers were a little panicked after seeing people from other counties coming to work, and felt that if they didn't work hard, they would have to let these outsiders take their jobs! How can they endure this? I put 12 percent of my strength into the work right now!

Wang Erniu took a few days off from the academy, and what he didn't do every day was to wander back and forth on the street, sometimes staring at the shops selling tea and snacks in a daze, and sometimes looking at the merchants and vendors for a long time.

Recently, he has been thinking about what he needs to do to ensure that the security is relatively high while ensuring his interests.

1,000 taels is enough to buy a big restaurant, but what about the subsequent renovation and the wages paid to the workers? If you open a restaurant, where can you invite the cook? It's delicious to cook at home, but even the prince can't pry it away, so how can he do it?

Then his second idea was to open a teahouse, and then he was rejected again, there are too few people who can afford tea in Datang, even if people can afford it, why not go to the teahouse, but patronize a small shop like himself?

This made him a little disappointed, a thousand taels seems like a lot, but when you use it, you will find that it is not as much as you imagined. He regretted the Haikou he boasted before, but things had come to this point, how could he be embarrassed to go to his brother to find a way? In just two days, he felt that he had wrinkles.

The brain is really chaotic, and there is no way but to go out and take a walk to see if there are any good ideas. No one in the academy knew that he was the younger brother of the Wushuang Marquis, even if it was a gentleman, he didn't dare to stop him, so he gave him a holiday.

Looking at the pedestrians walking in a hurry around him, Wang Erniu couldn't help but feel that his brother was really powerful, how did he come up with the idea back then, he could make so much money, and in just a few years, he could get such a large family business!

When he didn't plan to start a business before, he felt that he was not much different from his brother, because the two brothers used to be together all day long, and his brother was not even as smart as him at the beginning, so what his brother could do, he could naturally do it!

But if you look at it now, it's not like this at all, and I don't even know where to start! At this time, he realized how powerful his brother was in the first place! And now he can take one step and see three steps, and he understands how much pressure his brother was under at the beginning, as long as there is a little mistake, their family may be a different picture now.

After walking back and forth on Chang'an Avenue I don't know how many times, he realized that there is no industry in this world that can guarantee 100% no loss. He gritted his teeth fiercely, then, if you want high returns, you can only go to some dangerous industries!

Casino!

This is Wang Erniu's choice, so he resolutely stepped into the gambling house! Two minutes later, Wang Erniu walked out in a gray manner, there were too many doorways in this gambling house, and he was afraid that he would not be able to open it

"Qinglou!"

Wang Erniu gritted his teeth again and resolutely walked into the green building! As a result, because it was still early and there was no girl to welcome the guests, he walked out again in a gloomy manner. After leaving the gate, he couldn't help but sigh "Oh my God! Why is it so hard to make money! ”

After Wang Erniu looked around, his eyes finally fell on a mansion not far away!

"The Palace"

Wang Erniu muttered softly twice, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, isn't this the home of the rich brother? That's right! I can't find my brother to find a way for me, can't I still find a rich brother? His family has also been in business for generations, so he must have given me a small idea to make money, which is completely out of the question!

Wang Erniu was in a beautiful mood in an instant, and he jumped towards the palace, looking like a child. Or rather, he was a child.

Cheng Chumo feels like he's in hell these days! That person named Yuan Hong, where is teaching him to practice martial arts, he is beating him violently at all! Every morning when I get up, as soon as I finish eating, I am beaten inhumanely!

Yuan Hong knows the acupuncture points on his body very well, and he can always hit the acupuncture points that make him suffer intensely! Let him shout in the yard every day, as if he was a monkey, losing the face of the little grandfather.

The most infuriating thing is that Su Bai's medical skills are amazing, no matter how badly he is injured, he can make him alive the next morning! This makes him want to be lazy for an excuse, what can Cheng Chumo do? He's desperate too!

Sarilang cried every day at first, but later found that her husband's strength was increasing every day, and it was all some skin trauma, and over time, he got used to it.

Trained with Cheng Chumo, there was also Su Bai's little apprentice, Yuan Cen! This little guy is very hardworking, and Yuan Hong is not soft on his own son, and even relatively heavy on his hands.

The most serious one, the little guy actually made his father comatose, Su Bai was terrified! hurriedly ran over, and Su Bai went to probe his nose at the first step, for fear that he would miss for a while and beat his son to death!

Fortunately, Su Bai thought too much, and the little guy just passed out. After Su Bai's treatment at night, the little guy woke up, and the first thing he said when he woke up was not to ask how he was, but to say happily, "Daddy's trick is really powerful!" ”

Su Bai couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, the eldest disciple had no interest in science and so on, but liked business! The second disciple he accepted was also lacking in scientific etiquette and so on, but he was extremely obsessed with martial arts!

Su Bai looked up to the sky and sighed, "Can't you give me a normal apprentice?" ”

However, Su Bai is not the kind of person who forces children, since he knows that his second disciple likes martial arts, then Su Bai must lay a good foundation for him! Every day, just for Yuan Cen's medicinal bath, he gets ten taels of silver! If it were an ordinary family, I was afraid that it would directly drag them down! Poor and rich in martial arts, it has been like this since ancient times!

And from this day on, the old scalper in the county walked away from memorizing the word, and always fell to death inadvertently! Or get sick and die! And the rest of the beef, there is no doubt that it all went into the Wushuang Marquis Mansion, and finally entered the belly of a little doll surnamed Yuan.

Although Yuan Hong didn't understand this, he could also see that Hou Ye attached great importance to his son, and he was eager to repay his kindness, so he dealt more heavily to the two! Cheng Chumo's screaming every day is worse than killing a pig!

Su Bai entered the state of research, and he was mixing black powder every day, so he also deliberately built a small laboratory at the foot of the mountain, which was guarded by the Ghost King Army twenty-four hours a day, and it could be said that even a mosquito could not enter!

Su Bai spends more time looking for the feel, although the technology is in his mind, but it still takes a certain amount of time to turn these things into his own.

The only major event in the county recently is that a list of heroes has been posted at the entrance of the county and county yamen!

The people deliberately found a scholar who could read and write to take a look, and the scholar shook his head lightly after reading it, and said with a puzzled look, "It says that a blacksmith will be recruited!" Just the kind of blacksmith who can make the best 100 steels! As long as he is admitted, his whole family can move to the new city, and the children's tuition fees, the medical expenses of the elderly, etc., are all responsible for the Wushuang Hou Mansion! Monthly money is negotiable! ”

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers suddenly walked more than half, and they made steel? Are you kidding? How many people can practice that thing? Fangyan is the entire Datang, and I am afraid that there are not many people who can independently create 100 steels!

What is the main thing in striking iron? The answer is temperature! And in this kind of Datang, which mainly uses charcoal as fuel, it is definitely not a simple matter to build 100 steels!

This is also the only time that Su Bai has not been able to recruit anyone after posting the notice.

But after all, this kind of thing can't be rushed, and in the end, Su Bai can only go to strike iron by himself!

In addition to researching gunpowder every day, Su Bai went to the potato field to take a look, now the potatoes are ripe, if they are in the south, the potatoes can even be harvested three times a year, but in the county, it is definitely not reached!

All the potatoes were sold to the palace at a high price! The palace wanted to keep these potatoes as seeds, and when the people saw the potato production, one of them was stupid! There are even a few people who love to take advantage of small advantages, and secretly hid a few potatoes at home, but in the end they were ruthlessly taken away by the official army!

Many old people in the village even ate a few potatoes raw, and after confirming that this thing could be eaten, they burst into tears on the spot, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to their lives, saying that God has eyes, and sent a star like Su Bai to save them Yunyun!

But Su Bai didn't know these things, Su Bai was doing experiments in his laboratory! The Ghost King Army who was guarding the laboratory in the past two days was also a little entangled, because there were always some strange noises in the laboratory, and they wanted to go in for fear that Hou Ye would have an accident.

Han Laohu stopped them and resolutely did not allow them to enter! Because this is Hou Ye's death order, fortunately, it won't be long before it can ring once in the laboratory, proving that Hou Ye has no accident and is still alive.

Su Bai's complexion was originally fair, but these days it has been blown black! Fortunately, Su Bai is a person who has practiced martial arts and has internal strength, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to react!

In the blink of an eye, the time has come to September, autumn has arrived, the weather is cold, and Su Bai's gunpowder technology has finally been successfully studied!

The hall of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce has also been built, the liquor factory, dim sum factory, cement factory, etc. have been moved to the industrial zone, and the houses of the people have been built almost seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and the county is completely upside down compared to a year ago!

What was even more pleasing to Su Bai was that he had found a blacksmith who could make a hundred steels! It was recommended by Li Chengqian, who was one of the best blacksmiths in the Ministry of Industry before, but unfortunately later returned to his hometown because of his age.

It is a good saying to say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown, but in fact, because he was old and useless, he was fired from the Ministry of Industry. Su Bai didn't think so, what's wrong with the wheel not moving the hammer? Experience is there!

Su Bai originally wanted to find a dozen stick boys to help the old man, but the old man recognized the family handicraft and could not pass it on, so he only let his son follow him when striking iron, although this reduced the efficiency of the work, but there was no way, who let him only find such a good blacksmith?

The weather has begun to get cooler, the leaves have begun to fall, in a blink of an eye, most of the year has passed, Su Bai has completely integrated into the life of the Tang Dynasty, and even sometimes after he sleeps, he is thinking that he is Su Bai in the end! Crossed over to Wang Chouniu's body! Or is he Wang Chouniu, and Su Bai is just a dream of his own?

Su Bai thought about this question for two days, and finally Su Bai took the initiative to give up, it doesn't matter who is reborn whom, anyway, now they are already alone!

With the help of Wang Fugui, Wang Erniu also successfully opened his own shop, a car and horse shop!

Wang Fatzi bought Wang Erniu a small shop in the city, and then bought thirty carriages, ten flatbed carts, and fifty horses in a row! Although they are all old horses that are eliminated, it is enough to pull a cart or something.

Chang'an is so big, not everyone can afford a carriage, what if you move or go out? Renting a car is undoubtedly a great option! What's even more rare is that the whole Chang'an is such a car and horse shop!

Monopolize!

In addition to going to school every day, Wang Erniu came to his store to check the accounts to see if there was corruption in the account office he was looking for, and to see how long it would take him to earn two thousand taels of silver
