Guan Yi's children's shoes, which have been targeted by the bigwigs of all parties in Shu and Han, do not have such consciousness now. Because he's going crazy to be busy during this time.

After the soap and oil wax were made, Mi Zhao, who heard the news, immediately made a decision: while the pig farm in Fuling County continued to expand, the fleet of the Mijia Chamber of Commerce would also transport a large number of pigs from Dongwu and Pseudo-Wei. In order to make these pigs grow faster and reproduce more, sorghum or something, the Mi family's fleet also began to struggle to transport it from the pseudo-Wei side.

Spring is coming, and glycerin is about to come in handy: the mulberries are ripe all over the mountains. This kind of mulberry fruit with high sugar content, nourishing yin and kidneys, nourishing blood and brightening eyes, and promoting digestion is an excellent raw material for fruit wine. Therefore, Guan Taishou needs a lot of manpower to collect mulberries.

Spring came, and the nearly 2,000 potatoes harvested last year were turned into more than 7,000 potato seedlings and planted—and by the end of summer of this year, Guan Taishou could finally consider eating some potatoes. Now, a mountain that Guan Yi had chosen in advance had entered a state of high martial law: all the intersections where it was possible to go up and down the mountain were checkpointed, and the entrance to the mountain was subject to interrogation and the presentation of the road slip issued by Guan Yi. It's even worse when you go out of the mountain: you are stripped naked and repeatedly interrogated.

It was at this time that the industry of Fuling County really began to take off. The butterfly's wings are finally starting to flapp.

"The head of the family, it's not that the little ones can't endure hardship. Recently, the small soap wax workshop has been rotating for 12 hours a day, and many workers are tired, and many workers have been forced to work mentally, and several have been burned by caustic soda. If this continues, sooner or later we will be forced to reduce production. ”

"How can we reduce production? Didn't you see Mi Boyao urging him every day? The CD is already sold out. Taishou, brother, put aside the matter of this soap and wax workshop for now. The younger brother's oil refining workshop also needs to increase the number of people. This Yanxi paint is now exported to Wu Wei, and the ships of the Mijia caravan are now parked at Fuling Wharf waiting to be loaded. But now the tung trees in a radius of 30 miles around the county town have been picked by the children, and now it takes three to five days to go out and pick once. And the farther away from the county seat, the more beasts there are. Since the beginning of this year, two of my workers have been taken away by tigers! ”

"So it's my hunting team's fault? Brother, I, Zhao Yi, have never liked to complain, and I have to tell you. You've repeatedly drawn people from my hunting party to fill in the holes, and now there are only a hundred people left in the hunting party! As Uncle Ling said, now there is a radius of thirty miles around the county seat, and there is nothing to fight at all, and the sons and daughters have to go far to gain something, so you still give me a minus manpower? ”

"Taishou, you have arranged for someone to pick mulberries by hand to make fruit wine. This one...... It's spring plowing season, and the people don't want to. Or did you remove 300 people from the captives in Qinjiabao last year? Isn't it true that the things you planted on the wasteland in the back mountain have not yet been harvested? ”

"Stop! Stop me! The meat you eat, the soap, the wax, and all the ingredients for the wine you are going to make. All from my penalty! Brother, this circle can't be left without adding people. It's just spring, and there are more than 300 piglets in the pen, which I can't take care of......"

Looking at the chaotic roar of his subordinates below, Guan Yi only felt unprecedented satisfaction. He stretched out his hand to stop everyone's quarrel, and said to the horse: "Instead, how much grain is in stock transported by the Mi family caravan now?" ”

"Back to the Taishou, as of today. The inventory is 105,000 stone in total. ”

"Almost. What about money? What about the money after buying grain, selling all kinds of goods, and settling the settlement? ”

"Uh...... Too forgiveness. Ma Guo arched his hand, ran back to his official office, took out an account book, and then said: "Taishou, since the first year of Jingyao, in more than three months, my Fuxing Society has purchased grain, piglets, rouge powder, spices, etc., from the Mijia firm, spending a total of 18 million yuan. The first batch of soap was sold and the first batch of Jingyao wax made a profit of 300,000 yuan. The second batch of Yanxi lacquer is 2.3 million yuan, in addition to bacon, game, medicinal herbs, supplements, etc., a total of 450,000 yuan. All in all, our Fuxing Society now owes Mijia a firm 14.45 million yuan. ”

"Huh? How did you do it, you actually lost money? ”

"yes, why do you lose so much? My God, more than 10 million, when will this be affordable......"

"My family is considered rich in CD, and the annual turnover is more than one million...... More than 10 million ...... Tsk tsk"

"Hehehe, everyone, don't be impatient." Guan Yi quieted everyone again and said, "Where did we lose?" It's clearly a big profit. No, why didn't you count the more than 100,000 stone of grain in the current storehouse? For this alone, the market price is nearly 16 million dollars! In this way, during this period of time, we not only fed 500 more guards of the Fuxing Society and more than 1,000 prisoners of Qinjiabao, but also earned more than 1 million. And ......" Guan Yi exhaled and said very heroically: "Moreover, we are just getting started." Brothers, I promise that by the end of this year, the net profit of our Fuxing Society will not be less than 10 million. ”

"Oh, I see, it scared the hell out of me. Brother, what are we buying so much food for? ”

"Didn't you say there was a shortage of people? Isn't it because of a lack of people that limits production? You say, if I use grain as bait to lure those Wuxi barbarians down the mountain, how many people will I be able to attract? ”

"I see, brother!"

"Hehehe, I can't say it, it's just a little far-sighted. Jian Wushuang, how have you done in the past six months? ”

"Brother! That's not good! You asked him to hook up with various Wuxi barbarian villages, but this guy didn't take things seriously at all. Why did he go? Specializes in seducing women from good families! As far as I know, this guy has hooked up with at least ten Wuxi barbarian girls in the past six months. ”

"Zhang Lingxing, don't spew blood! I had to sacrifice my hue with tears in order to have a good relationship with the Wuxi barbarians! Brother, I'm bitter, in the past six months, I've run more than 30 villages, and I don't want to talk about how many times my foot has been broken. This waist is about to break from exhaustion. You don't know, the barbarian girl of Wuxi Barbarian Village, has a very strong body odor......"

"Don't we have soap, you can let them pick it up."

"Okay, okay, no more nonsense. Jian Wushuang, let me ask you, if I give a reward of one stone of grain a month, how many of those Wuxi barbarians will come to work with me? ”

"What? A stone in January? Simple eyes widened suddenly: "Brother, no, never, never." If you give such a reward, I'm afraid that all the barbarians in the 100,000 mountains will flock to my Fuling County. When the time comes, don't say that you won't need so many people, so many people will come at once, and I won't have so many houses for them to live in Fuling County. ”

"Well, that's true. Then how do you say this reward is given? ”

"We can go to them for thirty to fifty stone each."

"Buy?"

"My brother doesn't know that this Wuxi barbarian village, the farther away from the banks of the Wujiang River, the poorer it becomes. Many of the older people in the village are abandoned because there is not enough food to feed them. Children are also disliked...... So we might as well go buy it. Generally, the strong laborer is fifty koku per person, and those over forty or under fifteen years old are cheaper, and thirty koku is enough. After these people bought it and ate our rice and noodles, will they still leave? ”

"Well, it seems that I didn't understand the situation some time ago, and the conditions for the people of Tianjiazhai were too lenient. So, you're doing a great job. ”

"Hehe, thank you brother for the compliment."

"In that case, I will give you fifty thousand stone of grain, and you can go and buy me at least fifteen hundred people to come back. Of these 1,500 people, there must be at least 500 boys under the age of 15. ”

"Yes. The younger brother did it in three months. Jian Wushuang respectfully saluted Guan Yi and immediately changed his arrogant expression: "What's the matter, everyone, why don't you come and please me, you are short of manpower, but you have to find a way from my brother." ”

A group of young people were playing and making trouble, and Guan Xiaoqi hurriedly ran up from the bottom of the mountain: "Family master, someone is visiting." ”

"Who?"

"Well, my lord, it's a bit much. The Fei family, the Dong family, the Lai family, and the Xiang family all came. ”

"Brother! It's ......"

"Hehehe, seeing that our things are selling well, the autumn breeze is coming. Brothers, don't come forward. These things should have been carried by my brother alone. ”
