Chapter 58: Start a business in Shaanzhou
The next day, I carried a letter, bought a fast horse from the village, and galloped to the city of Shaanzhou.
Uncle Zhang saw Xiao Min sending me back, that is, he said that this son is very blessed! Married two such beautiful ladies.
Xiao Min hurriedly said: "No, no, uncle, Xiao Ai is a servant, I forgot to say it yesterday, let's have another bed outside today." ”
After listening to this, the old man said: "How can there be such a beautiful maid!" ”
Then he added: "Okay, listen to you." ”
The fast horse ran for about half an hour, and finally arrived at Shaanzhou Mansion, and I inquired about Zhang Qiang at the door. After a while, Zhang Qiang came out, explained his intention to him, and handed him a letter.
After reading the letter, Zhang Qiang asked if there was really a mine in their mountain? I replied that it had been explored, and it was accurate.
Zhang Qiang asked a little temptedly, "Can I help in any way?" ”
"Yes! I need someone, so let's go back and lead me to meet Master Liu first. Zhang Qiang answered, and then led me into the compound.
After entering the hospital, he went to report before leading me to the backyard mansion. On the way, I told him to say that it was iron ore first, and not to say anything else, which was easy to arouse the greed of the officials! Zhang Qiang immediately said that he knew.
When I met the prefect Liu Ping, it was really the same as I imagined, and at first glance, I was a goose plucking master! Hurriedly took out the recommendation letter of Liu Ye of Luoyang Mansion and explained his intention.
Liu Ping read the letter and asked what he needed the help of the officials? I took out two large gold ingots from my bosom, handed them to him, and said, "We actually want to make it easier for the local people to go up." Taxes, silver, dividends or something, not bad, should be paid normally. ”
Liu Ping looked at the two big gold ingots, and his eyes were almost unable to pull them out..."Little brother, rest assured, everything in the local area will fully cooperate and support!" What is needed despite words. ”
I bowed my hand: "Thank you Lord Liu for your care!" I see that this catcher is a native of my family, I wonder if I can lend him to me? ”
Liu Ping listened to it without hiccups! didn't ask Zhang Qiang what his opinion was, and said directly: "Yes, Qiangzi will go back and clean up, and go back with this brother." ”
thanked Liu Ping again and said: "After I go back to open the store, I will definitely invite Lord Liu to come over and cheer, and I hope to ......."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Ping answered: "Of course, if you have any needs, just mention it, and when you are satisfied, you must be satisfied!" ”
Bid farewell to Liu Ping, turned around and walked out. Zhang Qiang said as he walked: "Since you have asked me from Lord Liu, then I will follow your brother in the future!" ”
We swapped ages, and I was older than him, so he asked me to call him Hadson.
He asked again, "Since Lord Liu asked you what you need, why didn't you mention the matter of the important person?" ”
I waved my hand and said, "There are too many people from the official family involved, and it is not good for us!" ”
Qiangzi heard it and said yes again and again, and said: "Of the young adults in our Houdi Village, I can probably recruit about twenty of them. And my friend in town, man, find a dozen more. ”
"Not enough, not enough!" I said again and again.
"Then I'll go to the neighboring village and make a lot of friends, and there will probably be more than 50 people."
Feeling that his ability was almost complete, he said, "Okay, let's prepare first when these people come." ”
Qiangzi said again: "You can let my inner family cook for my brothers and fight something." ”
I stopped and gave a thumbs up and said, "Yes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, this is a good idea!" You can find a few more. Hadron replied yes and yes.
Then he picked a good restaurant, I went in and waited, and he went home to pack his things.
After a while, Qiangzi came with his daughter-in-law. Qiangzi introduced: "The insider Qiu." ”
Qiangzi's daughter-in-law hurriedly saluted: "Qiu Yun has seen my brother!" ”
After exchanging pleasantries, I said, "When these men come, they will build a house first, and build my dwelling first." ”
"No problem, brother!" Hadron answers.
I said, "In a year's time, let every family go home and build a brick house." ”
Hadron was taken aback when he heard this! This displacement ......
"Is my brother really sure about this?"
I nodded and said, "But there is one point, you give me a good pass, cheating, abducting and deceiving villains, and leaving no one!" ”
Qiangzi patted his chest and said, "Brother, don't worry! Who dares to have my strong son, I will peel him! "After explaining the matter, after dinner, Qiangzi asked me to go back first, and he went to contact friends in the city.
At the end of the day, things went quite smoothly, and I galloped back to Houdi Village.
When Xiao Min entered the house, he said: "Brother Xiaoyi, I told you last month that it was my birthday this month. ”
"Ahh What time? ”
"The day after tomorrow."
"Why didn't you say it earlier, I'll buy you some gifts in the city and come back."
Xiao Min looked at me eagerly and said, "It doesn't matter if there is a gift or not, just have a heart!" ”
"That's, just now!" I patted my chest and said.
What I didn't expect was that under the strong temptation, the hadron was really powerful! At noon the next day, he returned home with his daughter-in-law Qiu Yun. When they met, they said, "Brother, I'm not paying attention!" The village has not been notified yet, and there are more than 100 people in the city plus the neighboring villages. ”
When I heard it, I said, "Yes, the hadron is capable!" The more people, the better, this is not enough, but it is enough for us to start work slowly in the early stage. ”
He also instructed Xiao Ai to draw a similar sketch according to the distribution of the Luoyang Mansion and hand it to Qiangzi. What I didn't expect was that Xiao Ai never forgot it, and she got the picture done in five minutes.
The audience was stunned! Qiangzi exclaimed: "My brother is surrounded by talents, and my brother opened his eyes today!" "How does he know that Xiaoai itself is a smart printer, and there is no difference, hehe!
Qiangzi looked at the picture and said: "In this way, it will take more than a month for the house to be built at the earliest." ”
I said I'm not in a hurry, in fact, I'm in a hurry! The teacher who is far away in Luoyang can't wait to take it over now.
At this time, Xiao Ai said again: "This picture needs to be improved." ”
Then she began to draw again, it turned out that she had drawn a complete set of heating and bathing pipe diagrams from the well to the water storage tank, and then to the stove.
I looked at it and asked, "There's one thing that's not easy to tidy!" The pipes, and the heat sinks, how do you get them? ”
"Just find a blacksmith, and I'll teach him the complete smelting and smelting techniques." Xiao Ai replied.
I was immediately a little confused, that is, I said, "You are amazing, with you by your side, you don't even need to go to college." ”
No one else understood, but Xiao Ai understood. She said: "Xiao Ai itself is a treasure trove of knowledge, more advanced, it can't be made here, it can only be done simply." ”
I thought to myself, too! has a huge team of female dependents, so you have to be thoughtful.
At this time, he suddenly thought that when Lu Junyi recruited the Liao class, he might bring soldiers and horses over, and hurriedly said to Qiangzi: "Your task is very heavy, not only to build a house, but also to build a barracks as soon as possible." ”
"Ahh How many establishments are there? Hadron asked in surprise.
I stretched out two fingers, and the tongue of the hadron was about to come out..."Twenty thousand? ”
"Two thousand."
"Oh, if it's an earthen embryo house, the construction period will be a little faster. If it is bricks and tiles, it is necessary to urge the brick kiln factory to burn bricks, it is estimated that it is much slower! ”
"Let's make it cold, it's cold in winter here, and it's much warmer to spread straw."
Qiangzi asked again: "Then the site is on the beach behind the village?" ”
I nodded in agreement, and added: "You can count the workers' wages, and when you are done, you will find Xiaoai to report the account and receive the money." ”
Qiangzi clenched his fists and saluted back: "Okay! Brother, look at it, brother, let's go to the village and organize people again. ”
"Go, go."
Qiangzi turned around and was about to go out, when I suddenly shouted again, "Come back, come back." ”
"The day after tomorrow, on your sister-in-law's birthday, kill a pig, and call the villagers to come to dinner. People can come, don't be polite. ”
When Qiangzi heard this, he smiled and said, "Brother, let's go to Zhang Luo." After saying that, he went out happily.
Xiao Min walked into the house and asked, "You worked for Xiao Aipai, why didn't you arrange an errand for me?" ”
I was stunned for a moment and said, "It's so good to be light and light, my wife, just be pampered." ”
Xiao Minxing's eyes widened! "No! I can't just be idle, I have to find something to do. ”
I said, "That, that... You and Xiao Ai have a look, she takes care of you in life, and you learn more from her in doing things, how about it? ”
Xiao Min looked at me angrily and said, "Why am I so awkward to hear this, I feel like I'm useless!" ”
I said seriously: "No, Xiaoai's brain is originally a computer, and all her things are obtained through fast calculations, which is not comparable, we can't compare." But you can focus on learning from it, such as asking her to teach you how to manage your accounts and how to calculate our profits and losses! ”
Xiao Min immediately became happy when she heard it: "Yes! I want to learn to manage money, and I will keep accounts for you when you spend money in the future, so that you don't have to spend money indiscriminately, haha! ”
I was speechless..."Is this the same thing for you?" ”
"Hey, hey! You make money, I take care of the money, this is called husband and wife, understand? Ha ha! After speaking, he patted me and went out to call Xiao Ai.
