Chapter 9 Financing Options

Hearing Su Xiu say his plan, everyone nodded unconsciously, feeling that Su Xiu had almost taken into account what they could think of and what they didn't think of at the moment, but they always felt that there was something wrong, but they couldn't think of it for a while.

At this time, Guo Jia, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke: "The idea is very good, but what about the funds? First donate officials, buy grain and iron, introduce war horses, strengthen city defenses, attack camps and villages, each of which consumes countless money, dare to ask Su Gongzi, how did this money come from? Isn't it that Su Gongzi has found the assistance of the great family, or is it that after Su Gongzi takes office, taxes will be increased, and the people will be fished? ”

Only then did everyone react, yes, everything Su Xiu mentioned just now would consume countless amounts of money, without the support of the great family, where did he get so much money, just the grain, pig iron and war horses of military materials would consume tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold, not to mention strengthening the city defense and sending troops to suppress bandits, all of which were big expenses, and Su Xiu didn't look like a child of the great family, how could he raise such a huge amount of money?

Su Xiu smiled slightly and said, "Mountain people have their own tricks!" You'll see if you come back in three days. He really didn't worry too much about money, after all, he came from the 21st century, and he made a little gadget from the future generations that is a rare thing now, plus he is the CEO of a multinational group, and he has long been unforgettable about the way of business, as long as he operates a little, I believe that money will only roll in.

Everyone was slightly stunned, and they couldn't imagine how Su Xiu could raise hundreds of thousands of gold in three days, so they had to give up and see it after three days, so everyone got up and said goodbye with their own thoughts.

Before leaving, Su Xiu pulled Xi Zhicai and said: "Zhicai seems to be in poor health at present, I recommend one person to you, or Zhicai can be cured, Xiao Guo Jia also seems to have a deep body, you can go together, if he can't be cured, I will introduce another person for you, but he has been practicing medicine all year round and has no fixed place, so it is not easy to find." ”

"Oh? Does the lord still know such a character? ”

"I haven't seen it either, but I know that there is such a person, his name is Zhang Ji, the word Zhongjing, and now he should be in Nanyang Nie County, Jingzhou, this person has excellent medical skills, and he is a rare miracle doctor in the world, and the other person is called Hua Tuo, the character is Yuanhua, and the two of them have their own strengths, and they are both world-famous doctors. It's just because Hua Tuo travels all the year round and has no fixed place to live, so it is recommended that Zhicai visit Zhang Ji first, but he can't find Hua Tuo again. I may have to leave for Xuzhou in a few days, and then I will go to Luoyang to donate officials, and I may not be able to accompany my comrades to go together. ”

What kind of international joke, Xi Zhicai is now his Su Xiu's person, how can he still let him die early like in history, he can't wait for everyone to eat the elixir of immortality, all of them will live a long life, and live a long life, as for Guo Jia, although he is not working now, but after all, he is only eight or nine years old, and he still needs to grow, and after today, he believes that Guo Jia is very likely to come to him directly in the future, so Guo Jia cannot die early. Su Xiu wanted to see if what later generations said "Guo Jia is not dead, Wolong is not out" is true, and he also wants to see if this ghost is fighting wits and courage with Wolong and Phoenix. In the previous life, several people didn't fight each other well, and there was no way to compare which was better or worse, since he Su Xiu came to this era, he had to let this era bloom.

After listening to Xi Zhicai, he was very moved, a monarch who can sympathize with his subordinates can win the hearts of his subordinates, so he arched his hand and said: "Although the lord is relieved to do the right thing, he will be loyal to the priority of the matter, and if the text is a little out of shape just now, I hope the lord will not mind, what the lord said tonight, if it enters our ears, no one else will know, and the text will definitely not be passed on." ”

Su Xiu waved his hand slightly, and said: "What Zhicai said, I understand that Wen Ruo's faith has just collapsed, and it will be good if he figures it out in a few days, and I still look forward to Wen Ruo coming to me to work with you Zhicai." However, Zhicai has time to enlighten Wen Ruo more, after all, after so many years of faith suddenly collapsed, it is difficult for anyone to accept it. ”

"Zhongzi will persuade Yu Wenruo, but my lord, what is this faith?"

Well, for a while, he was quick to speak, and he came up with a term that did not exist in this era, so he had to open his mouth and explain to Xi Zhicai: "Faith is the principle that has been adhered to for a long time in the heart, Wen Ruo used to believe in loyalty and patriotism, but now he suddenly finds that this monarch is not the other monarch, and it is inevitable to hesitate." ”

After sending away the three of them, Shi Tao and Xu Fu pulled Su Xiu and said: "Brother Su, after listening to your opinions, the two of us deeply feel that our knowledge is shallow, and we have decided to continue to practice hard in the academy now, and when he succeeds in his studies, he will definitely come to Brother Su's account to be like-minded. ”

Su Xiu pulled Shi Tao and Xu Fu to sit down, and said slowly: "Brother Guangyuan, why did Brother Guangyuan say this, Su Moujie Buyi, you can afford it, and you are willing to come to help and so, and you are grateful, how can there be any reason to dislike it, Brother Guangyuan should not mention such words in the future." ”

After relieving the hearts of the two, Su Xiu returned to the room arranged for him by Shi Tao, picked up the spear given to him by his master and slowly brushed it over, and muttered, "Old friend, soon we will be able to fight on the battlefield together." ”

The next morning, Su Xiu got up, practiced a set of marksmanship as usual, and asked Shi Tao for a firewood knife, went to the mountains to cut some bamboo and fir trees, and began to make tables and chairs. When he first came to this era, he felt that kneeling and sitting was very uncomfortable, and when he was learning art with Tong Yuan on the mountain, he had made some tables, chairs and benches by himself, which made Tong Yuan Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun amazed. He believed that as long as this table, chair and bench were promoted, he would definitely be able to make money every day, so when Guo Jia asked about the source of money last night, he was confident.

Soon Su Xiu made a set of Eight Immortal Tables for daily use, as well as some small square stools made of bamboo, and at sunset, the Leisure Chair and Taishi Chair had already been made. Shi Tao and Xu Fu were also amazed after seeing it, feeling that there seemed to be nothing in this world that Su Xiu couldn't do, only what they couldn't imagine. At a glance, they felt that once this table, chair and bench was promoted, it would definitely trigger a rush to buy, so the soldiers and horses that they said last night might not be a big problem.

Another day passed, Su Xiu made a simple distillation equipment out of bamboo, asked Shi Guangyuan for a little food, and began to try to make distilled spirits. Su Xiu had an idea after drinking the wine of this era, but because of his practice, he had no leisure to make it. Although he rarely drank alcohol in his previous life, as a scholar, he was no stranger to the process of distilling liquor, and the key problem was the fermentation of grain and the control of temperature. It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that Su Xiu brewed the first pot of distilled liquor in this era through continuous experiments.

At noon, Xi Zhicai took Guo Jia to Shi Tao's bamboo hut again, and Su Xiu led them to the Eight Immortals Table in the backyard, and briefly introduced them to the Eight Immortals Table and the Taishi Chair Leisure Chair.

When eating, Su Xiu took out the distilled liquor he brewed and poured it for everyone to taste. The little drunkard Guo Jia drank the bottom of the cup in one sip first, and then stuck out his tongue and kept fanning, and kept saying in his mouth: "It's so spicy!" It's spicy! Good wine, good wine! Everyone was puzzled, what was the situation with this spicy and good wine. Xi Zhicai took a sip slightly, and immediately felt a spicy taste hit the taste buds, but after entering the throat, there was a burst of sweetness, which was a feeling that I had not had when I drank wine before. Immediately smiled bitterly: "Lord, this is what you brewed?" After drinking your wine, I found that all we used to drink was water, and from now on, where can those wines still enter our throats, and I don't know whether today's wine is a blessing or a curse, alas! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was even more puzzled, this is a blessing to understand, where does this disaster come from? Xi Zhicai explained: "From now on, other wines are light and tasteless, and there will be no more wine to drink, isn't it a disaster? Could it be that the lord can't make wine at home every day? ”

When Su Xiu heard this, this was a disguised compliment to his good wine, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "Zhicai thinks how much can this wine sell if it is put in an inn for a pot of wine?" ”

"At least three to five pieces of hardware."

"What if it's put in a big family?"

"That's going to have to be at least doubled."

"Zhicai, if I tell you that a pot of wine can be sold for at least 100 gold, do you believe it?"

"How is it possible, although those big families are rich, they are not stupid, how can they spend so much money to buy a pot of wine?"

Su Xiu looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him curiously, so he smiled and said: "Zhicai, you are all talents, even if there are thousands of ravines in your chest, you don't understand people's hearts, they never care about the price, and people who are willing to spend ten gold to drink a pot of wine will not care whether it is ten gold or one hundred gold, because they believe that expensive things must be good things." If it is put into practice, such a pot of wine can even be sold for a thousand gold. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and sighed that Su Xiu was really humiliating not to go into business, and everyone fully believed that Su Xiu would be able to raise the construction costs of Taishan County in a short period of time.

After three rounds of drinking, Su Xiucai said: "Zhicai, help me introduce me tomorrow, I will visit Pang Degong, and this trip to Yingchuan will be successfully over." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I will introduce you to the dean today."
