Chapter 34 Deep Ploughing Fuling County (11)
Two or several things, through a specific reaction, can get something new, this is the beauty of chemistry.
Seeing Guan Yi tinkering there for a long time, a pot of lard turned into several different things, and everyone was stupid.
"Let's start with the first thing, which is called soap. Its cleaning power is so strong that it beats all the pancreas or soaphorn on the market today, so you can try it for yourself later. ”
"This second thing is oil wax. The candles made by him emit bright light, smoke and smell very little. ”
"The third thing is the last filtered clear liquid, called glycerin, with him, I can turn all the wild fruits in Fuling County into sweet wine!"
"The cost of these three things, as you have seen, is very low. Therefore, our three products can completely enter the homes of ordinary people in the Han Dynasty, the pseudo-Wei Dynasty, and the Eastern Wu Dynasty. With such a large amount, how much profit do you calculate for yourself? ”
Zhang Zun: My God, I finally understand why you have to be so cautious with us before doing these things, brother......
Zhao Yi: Well, I see. It seems that the hunting team cannot stop work in winter. We have to catch more piglets.
Sun Gang: Guowei, of course it's good to catch this piglet, but if you can't catch my brother, there is a way here. Well, Jian Wushuang, is there any aphrodisiac that pigs can eat? The breeding pigs and sows in my pen must be given to me every day......
Simple: Sun Dingyeol, what are these words? It's like I've snapped with a pig. Well, but I have some pills here that you can try out.
"Okay, okay, what do you say? This sow will be in heat when it reaches 8 months. This pig has a very long estrus period, which can be as long as half a year. So don't feed any medicine stones. Instead, calculate the cost of these things in detail, and then let Mi Boyao come to visit in person. ”
"Whoa! Too guarded and talented, and worshipped. ”
"Brother is talented, I'll wait for you."
"Hahaha, what is this, I remember that before I learned about Fuling County, I asked the Mi family to build me fifty ships of five hundred stones, although Mi Boyao and I later found that there were a lot of reefs in the Wujiang lanes, so we stopped this agreement. But I wasn't kidding. Speaking of which, although these things are quite profitable, they are not big, how can they fill so many ships? ”
"Brother mean, there are still new things to come up with."
"Well, there are indeed some new things that haven't been brought out. The main thing is that now is not the time. Funds and manpower are far from sufficient. We have to sell these little things first, collect the money, and get food. Use grain to attract the Wuxi barbarians down the mountain and join them. Use the new manpower to expand production, get more money and food, and attract more people...... I set a plan to double the population of Fuling County within three years and triple it in five years, but I am not just talking. ”
"We have a lot of faith in our brother."
"Yes, with my brother leading us, these goals will definitely be achieved as scheduled."
"Okay, good, so much. Now everyone smells of lard, is it still fun to stay here? They all dispersed, and went back to shower and change clothes. Little Key, I'll take care of the rest. ”
"Well, please rest assured."
……
During the unitary period, the sun sinks in the west and the sky begins to darken. Guan Yi and Qian Qiang had dinner and teased the two little tigers who were already more than one meter long, and then they were ready to turn off the lights and go to bed. At this time, Guan Suo's voice sounded outside the window: "Zifeng, come out and accompany the third uncle for a walk." ”
The uncle and nephew walked from the backyard of the Taishou Mansion to the gate, halfway up the mountain, looking at the flowing Wujiang River under their feet. After a while, Guan Suo spoke.
"Over the years, the third uncle is very ashamed. When the second brother died, I should have come back, but I was afraid that others would say that I coveted my father's title and went home to rob my son and nephew of the family property, so I ......"
"yes, I understand."
"You're fine, but the third uncle has questions."
"Well, why do I know so much?"
"Hmm."
"Third uncle, for more than 20 years, at least until two years ago, I was in the same situation as you. I'm a concubine. You have to fly the eagle every day and don't do your job. ”
"So I read a lot of miscellaneous books and got acquainted with a lot of strange people?"
Hey, this third uncle is really good at brain supplementation. It's good, I don't have to explain a lot.
"Yes, yes."
"Yes, that's a blessing in disguise. But Chi Nu'er, now that you are the head of the Guan family, don't you have any other ideas? Ready to die here? ”
"Well, actually, my nephew did have such thoughts before. The things in CD City are too complicated for the nephew to get involved in. ”
"Well, the main battle and the main peace, the dispute between foreigners and locals, Jingzhou people must not only suppress Yizhou people but also beware of Dongzhou people mischievous. The people of Yizhou have always wanted to seize power in the imperial court. Dongzhou people are not willing to be marginalized...... Hey, it's really annoying. Back then, the third uncle just didn't want to be trapped in it, so he went to Nanzhong. ”
"But after my nephew arrived in Fuling County, his original idea changed a little."
"Because of the elders, family members, bosses, colleagues...... So many people care for you? ”
"Well, there is also the approval of the people."
"That's true, the third uncle has only been in Fuling County for three months, and he has already felt the respect of the people of the county for you."
"So, the little nephew is a little addicted to being an official."
"Hahahaha, Chinuer, you are very good. But after all, I'm still a little younger. Guan Suo patted Guan Yi on the shoulder: "It is precisely because you are young that you are the first Rong Hua to take the initiative to give up CD in more than 30 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, and ran to a remote county to be a descendant of Yuan Cong, a pro-people official." So the big man spoils you up and down. But this kind of favor can only be temporary, it can't be a lifetime. ”
"Uncle has a point. Nephew, this Fuling County is still poor jingle at least so far. No one takes their nephew seriously. It's nothing that someone favors at all. If Fuling County becomes more and more prosperous in the future, or the nephew's official position becomes bigger and bigger. All kinds of coveting, attacking, and even framing are coming. ”
"Since you know all this, why are you still in a hurry to take a stand?"
Guan Suo's statement refers to Guan Yi's delivery of supplies to General Jiang Wei's mobile corps. Although in Guan Yi's opinion, that little thing is a local specialty, the problem is how poor Fuling County is in the eyes of the officials of the Shu Han Dynasty. A place so poor sent so many things over. This is undoubtedly a political statement: I, Guan Yi, support the Northern Expedition!
"Third uncle, do you think that if it is after the beginning of spring this year, soap and oil wax will be on the market on a large scale. After the beginning of summer, various fruit wines were put on the market on a large scale. Even if I hadn't taken a position at that time, wouldn't the forces of all parties force me to take a stand? Can I pretend to be confused at that time? In that case, I might as well take the initiative. ”
The statements of politicians are actually taking sides. Guan Yi means: Now my strength is very small, and everyone doesn't care about my existence. Of course, there is no need to take a position. But when Fuling County prospers, and my strength is strong, I must take a stand. In this case, instead of being forced by others to take a stand, it is better for me to take the initiative to forget it.
Speaking of which, the current political ecology of Shu Han is no longer what it was in the Zhuge Liang era.
The political factions of Zhuge Liang's era were basically unified in terms of geography and political views. In other words, the Yuancong faction and the Jingzhou faction generally advocated the Northern Expedition. The Dongzhou faction was ambiguous. The Yizhou faction was basically opposed.
But now, because the Northern Expedition has not achieved decisive results for many years, the descendants of the Yuan Cong faction have gradually been abandoned, and there is a lack of successors to the Jingzhou faction. All this has made the geographical distinction between the political factions of Shu Han and Han gradually blurred.
The current internal political factions of Shu Han are actually two factions: supporting the Northern Expedition or opposing the Northern Expedition.
Guan Yi made a clear statement in the twentieth year of Yanxi: I support the Northern Expedition.
"You have a point. The third uncle also knows that at most this autumn, Fuling County will be prosperous and attract the attention of the world. At that time, all the immortals will want to come to you to get some benefits. Rather than being forced to join a faction for protection at that time, it is better to be clear now. In this regard, you are right. Just ......"
"Third Uncle is worried about Zhuge Siyuan's reaction?"
"Yes, this guy actually has the face to say that he is the successor of the prime minister. Didn't you see that the prime minister's real heirs are going to go on a desperate northern expedition! This guy wants to be the leader of the Jingzhou people again, and throws out the political idea of stopping the Northern Expedition to please the Yizhou people. Hmph, can the people of Yizhou be appeased just by stopping the Northern Expedition? Besides, if the Han Dynasty doesn't go on the Northern Expedition, won't it really degenerate into Liu Zhang? ”
"What the third uncle said is true. If my Han Dynasty does not go on a Northern Expedition, the legitimacy of the Han family cannot be reflected. It's just a secessionist regime entrenched in Xishu. ”
"That being said, though. But Zhuge Siyuan is the son of the prime minister after all, and his reputation among the people is unmatched for a while. And this person is small in popularity, and he is very strong. You have made it clear that Che Ma does not support his political views......"
"Hehehe, third uncle, don't worry. Zhuge Siyuan is a person who is more resourceful and less decisive. Do things ahead and backward. Not a man who can do big things. What if you annoy him, it's a big deal that I'll be my Baili Hou in Fuling County! Besides, the little nephew will not be a soft persimmon at that time! ”
"So, you want to completely win over the descendants of Yuan Cong, and you want to separate the Yuan Cong faction from the Jingzhou faction and pull the flag yourself?"
"The third uncle is very smart! But the little nephew didn't want to be the leader of the party. What the little nephew wants to do is the new backbone of the Northern Expedition Party! ”
"Huh~~~ It's not big or small, what do you say smart. Is that the word used by the younger generation to evaluate the elders? Having said that, you have shown kindness to the general so much, have you ever considered Uncle Liao's feelings? ”
"Well, you mean Uncle Liao, before I sent something to the general, I had already greeted Uncle Ancestor through Uncle Yong. I'm saying this. Uncle also supported the Northern Expedition. ”
"Okay." Guan Suo suddenly hugged Guan Yi's shoulders hard: "Chinu'er, now there are only two of us left in the Guan family." Do it well, no matter what you do, the third uncle will help you. I don't know if the revival of the Han can do it, and the third uncle doesn't know. But what the third uncle knows is that you will definitely be able to revive our Guan family! ”
