Guan Shanyue's goods are a belly of bad water, he doesn't want to eat at all now, he touched the top of Wei Zhongxian's head in turn, and said with a smile: "You and I are like father and son, Guan is taller than you, his official position is higher than you, and he is better than you in many aspects, I will not dislike you for being shorter than me." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wei Zhongxian smiled when he heard this, and when he thought that the eunuchs had no sons, he immediately knew that Guan Shanyue was taking advantage of himself, and scolded: "Guan Shanyue, your uncle!" ”

The two are lifelong friends, so naturally they won't take this verbal joke to heart.

Wei Zhongxian came so early to not only rub the rice, but also told Guan Shanyue about Daning's recent situation at the dinner table, so that he had a basic understanding.

Guan Shanyue nodded as he listened, everything was running well in Daning after he left, and everything was moving forward according to his plan and expectations.

"Brother Wei, let's put Yang Sichang's matter aside first and solve the urgent need in front of us. I have already discussed with the Holy Lord, and he will solve the problem of the displaced victims, and I want to know how many people our Daning can feed with food now? ”

Wei Zhongxian's main focus in Daning is some internal affairs issues, if he is indeed a good financial manager now, although he does not know how to read, but he has long been familiar with all kinds of data in Daning.

After a slight sigh, he opened his mouth and said: "After several years of development, potatoes, sweet potatoes and rice such high-yield crops have been planted in a large area, although this year's rain is not much, but we take precautions, last year to the present, five reservoirs have been built in Daning, and the grain is still a bumper harvest." These grains, except for the rations left by the famous family of the year, are all collected at high prices according to your requirements, plus the non-stop purchase of rice from Siam and Cochin by sea, these grains can feed one million people for a year and a half. However, you have to pay attention to the relocation of the victims, potatoes and sweet potatoes can be processed into vermicelli, but the rice will spoil after a few years. ”

Guan Shanyue didn't expect that Daning would unknowingly hoard so much food in a few years, which really surprised him, and in an instant he even moved the idea of reselling grain to the disaster area, but he was quickly denied by himself.

He became interested, and it seemed that the situation was better than he thought, and continued to ask: "Brother Wei, as soon as I return to Daning, I will go to Kulun City, and I have to bother you to sort out for me what profitable business Daning is now." ”

Wei Zhongxian raised his hand and picked up the bowl of sweet potato polenta, sucked it along the edge of the bowl, and suddenly felt that his body warmed up, and said: "Iron pot and alloy steel from the steel factory, silk from the textile factory, porcelain and cloisonné from the porcelain factory, and silver tableware with hairpins." Horses, all kinds of furs, medicinal herbs, vermicelli. That's pretty much it. ”

Guan Shanyue raised her red face and asked with a puzzled expression, "What about the flintlock?" Haven't we been able to produce flint guns a long time ago, why haven't we sold them now? ”

Wei Zhongxian put down the bowl, rolled his eyes, and said disdainfully: "Do you think the miscellaneous family is stupid, you don't know that reselling weapons is more profitable than those things in front?" The production capacity of the weapons factory cannot be increased, and more than 10,000 pieces are produced in a year, which is still the number after the proficiency of the workers has gone up, and the first two years are even more miserable, and there are only four or five thousand pieces a year. Don't forget, they also have to produce ammo. This bit of gun is not enough for Daning to digest internally, and he will sell a hammer. ”

Guan Shanyue laughed when she heard Wei Zhongxian's complaints, scratched her head embarrassedly, and said, "I haven't been in charge for a long time, and I take it for granted, Brother Wei don't go to my heart." ”

Wei Zhongxian pulled the last piece of sweet potato in the bowl into his mouth, his face was still unfinished, and he said without raising his head: "Less, more work." Let me ask you, Brother Guan, you always say that the money is not enough, and now I won't say anything if you buy grain at a high price, after all, the price of grain is set high, and the enthusiasm of the people to open up the wasteland will be even higher. But those ninth-rate craftsmen, why do you set their monthly salaries so high? They worked in the factory for a year, and the money they got was worth 50 acres of land in a year. ”

"Brother Wei, why do craftsmen have to be inferior? They also have to eat and feed their families. Have you ever thought about how much convenience some craftsmen have provided to everyone by creating things that do not exist in this world from something to nothing? Far away, let's just say that the porcelain sewers under our Daning City that are more than two people high, if it weren't for those craftsmen in the porcelain factory, who stayed up late and lit the lights day and night to find ways to solve various problems, we could fire such high-quality drainage pipes so quickly? They are worthy of respect. ”

Wei Zhongxian took out a silk handkerchief from his arms and wiped his mouth, as if he couldn't accept this shocking point of view for a while, and said: "Degott, how unfortunate are you Li, the miscellaneous family can't talk about you." Now half of Daning's income is given to the Daning Academy of Sciences to conduct research on what I don't know what Raushzi is, and half is used to fight wars and build cities. Don't think about throttling, every money must be spent. It takes a lot of money to build a city, so you can figure it out yourself. The miscellaneous family has no time to talk to you, the miscellaneous family has to go to the textile factory, and today there is an important transaction to be concluded with the French, so I will not accompany you. After saying that, he walked out of the hospital with a figure-eight step, got into the carriage that had been prepared a long time ago, and headed in the direction of the textile factory.

Guan Shanyue is not idle now, she almost stayed awake last night, thinking about many issues of site selection for city building. After eating, he didn't care about saying goodbye to Zhao Ruixue, and hurriedly went to visit his father-in-law-to-be, Lin Dan Batur, with the map.

Lin Dan Batur has long gone to the heart of hegemony, Duoyan City is rich in products, all kinds of fruits and vegetables are almost open, and the life of living in pursuit of water and grass is simply one heaven and one underground, and it didn't take long for him to adapt to a stable and peaceful settled life. In private, I even think it's good to end up like this.

He looked at Guan Shanyue, the prospective son-in-law, who loved and hated it, but he knew everything about his problems. He rode almost all the grasslands in Monan, and he was clear about the suitable places for settling down and building cities, and for grazing sheep and cattle.

While popularizing geographical knowledge for Guan Shanyue, he also pointed out a lot of mistakes on the map he took by the way.

The frustrated Lin Dan Batur also needs someone to talk to, while explaining the customs and customs of Monan, he intersperses his heroic deeds in the past from time to time.
