Everyone entered the village, all the way bluestone slabs, gravel, cobblestone paved road, very easy to walk. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The street is clean and tidy, there are many brick and tile houses on both sides of the road, simple and elegant, from time to time you can see the tall willows, some branches have sprouted, from time to time you can see the villagers, all of them are full of red light, full of vitality, you can see the nine masters and others for a while, as if they have arrived at the peach source.

Now the company is on the army, and the population of Xin'anzhuang is nearly 2,000, which is quite lively.

Jiu Ye also saw that Zhuang Min's costumes were quite uniform, men had winter felt, women had rabbit hats, and there were signs nailed to the door of the houses on the street, which seemed to have numbers written.

A few months ago, he had already seen Yang He's skills, but at this time, it seemed that more fog had emerged from this young scholar, and it became more and more impenetrable.

He also learned about Xin'an Zhuang, and thought that if he occupied Xin'an Zhuangzi, he was afraid that it would be difficult to support it.

Not to mention anything else, just that Jiaoshan bandit came to attack, I was afraid that everything in front of him would come to naught.

He sighed, and the executioners behind him followed the car, looking at the situation in this village, they were even more dazzled and yearning.

Soon the street slowly got higher, and everyone arrived at the theater square.

This piece has become the core of Xin'anzhuang, in the division, Yanghe Mansion as the No. 1, and then the theater is set as the public office, set as the No. 2, although the theater is large, the square in front of the stage is also very large, covering an area of more than three acres, which can be used for thousands of people to sit and watch the play relaxedly.

But after the year and the year, this side was rebuilt again, from the east of the theater to the east wall, it was originally a messy slope, barren grass, and a few temples and houses, but they were all rebuilt, and they also became a flat square and neat houses.

Then more canteens were opened up next to the theater, and warehouses, bathhouses, toilets, literacy halls, stables, etc., further improved the structure of the army.

At this time, spread more than ten acres, on the wide and flat square, the soldiers are in full swing of drills, spears such as forests, shields such as walls, winter felt cloaks, all of them are fierce, in formation, in formation, listening to the trumpet, shouting shocking the sky, footsteps moving the ground, full of overwhelming all the momentum.

"Such a strong army ......"

The Ninth Master was secretly frightened.

Yang He's team, he had also seen it as early as the Battle of Guandao, but compared to this time......

Faintly, on the east side, there were bursts of thunderous clanging sounds.

The sound of the violent volley shook people's hearts.

Qian Sanniang pressed her heavy sword, and couldn't help but look over there.

Then go south along the street, and the two large mansions on the side of the street are designated as No. 3, which are set up as hospitals, and there is a large pharmacy in them, and the villagers see a doctor for free.

Of course, at this time, Li Jiale and others are not very good at medical skills, and they can only treat headaches and fevers.

Now Xin'an Zhuang Middle School is actively recruiting doctors Lang Zhong.

Opposite the hospital is the school, designated as No. 4, which also occupies two large mansions, and the children of the village are all studying, reading in the morning and working in the afternoon.

The twelve-year-old children in the village have to be apprentices, and the apprentices of internal medicine are the most, and they follow Li Jiale and others to sort out the herbs.

They also have wages, two cents a month, and they have bonuses for good work.

At this time, it was not yet noon, and the middle school hall was still in class, and the sound of children reading loudly came, and the ninth master himself was envious.

He thinks that he suffers the most, in fact, he still studies less, and his children are all blind, which always makes him regret.

There is also the hospital, so spacious, not to mention the surprise of the ninth master, the accompanying dart master and the executioner are all probing their brains over there, especially some people who are injured, they are all thinking, if they can recuperate in internal medicine.

When the school came down, it was the library, which was set as the sixth, and it was newly established after the year, and the Rite Hall went to Pizhou to buy a large number of books, and there were all kinds of books.

The villagers can read in it, of course, and do not destroy the books, which will not only cost money, but also beat the military sticks.

Yang He introduced the ninth master, the ninth master's admiration did not stop, the special library made the ninth master very appreciative, at this time the books are expensive, ordinary people are difficult to obtain, and the library is even rarer, mostly privately owned, only borrowed between readers.

It's already a great kindness to be able to let you copy a copy by hand, how can you build it like this and openly let the people watch it for free?

Looking at everything in this Zhuangzi, everything is like the most beautiful paradise in a dream.

The ninth master glanced at his eldest son Qian Likui, and Qian Likui was also looking at him, and the two looked at each other, both nodding, as if they were considering some determination.

Qian Sanniang glanced at Yang He in front of her, and then looked at the library and hospital, her beautiful eyes were rippling, but she was seen by her younger brother Qian Lijue.

Seeing his sister's expression, Qian Lijue pursed his lips unhappily.

……

After receiving the goods, his subordinates Zhang Luo checked it, and it was inconvenient for the public house to entertain guests, so Yang He beckoned Uncle Huang, Jiuye, Qian Likui, Qian Sanniang and others into his house to talk, and then Qi Youxin and Minister Yang accompanied him.

Yang He's house is the largest and most magnificent house in Xin'anzhuang, the gatehouse is tall, the stone lion towers, three before and after, the main house has more than five rooms, and the imperial court stipulates that "the common people's house is only three rooms and five frames" quite different, maybe the ancestors have produced some extraordinary characters.

At present, there are four families living in this house, Qi Youxin's family, Yan Dezheng's family, living in one and two entrances, Yang He living in the third entrance, and Han Daxia's father and son living in the third entrance to the west wing, and there are guards who take turns to live in the south room of the house, two guards at the gate, and three people at the gate of the third courtyard.

When the younger brothers and sisters go out to study, there is also a person who follows the guard.

Everyone went in, and saw that this courtyard was huge, and the brick carvings and eaves were all excellent, Uncle Huang was okay, and Jiu Ye and others were envious, he had worked hard for many years, and he was a dart head, but he only had an ordinary courtyard house in Xuzhou City, which was far from comparable to the house in front of him.

Of course, this is also Yang He's hard work, envy, at the moment there are endless abandoned villages everywhere, and there are not no Zhuangzi houses with better conditions than this, and you can occupy them when you see them, as long as you can deal with the endless attacks and harassment of homeless people and thieves.

Yang He laughed with everyone and beckoned them to enter the third entrance, where there were five main rooms, one of which Yang He arranged as a study, with a portal leading to the back garden, one as his bedroom, and one as Minister Yang's bedroom.

Then there was a bedroom for the younger siblings, and the rest was empty.

There are three left and right wing rooms, three south rooms, except for the guards and Han Daxia's father and son, the rest are arranged as guest rooms.

Yang He beckoned everyone into the living room to speak, and the interior was quite elegantly decorated, all of which were yellow rosewood furniture, as well as screens, hanging calligraphy and paintings, all of which were exquisite.

A lot of furniture, calligraphy and paintings are snatched from the Tongshan bandits, such as Yang He's bedroom, there is a very luxurious, two meters high, weighing a ton, in the middle is a bronze mirror, and the rest is a rhinoceros moon mirror carved from iron pear wood.

This mirror is very much in line with Yang He's heart, the only drawback is that Minister Yang, his younger brothers and sisters always come to his room to look in the mirror.

Everyone sat down, and Minister Yang still made tea, which was the terrifying fragrance sent to Yang He by the waves.

Everyone drinks tea, and the ninth master tastes the frightening fragrance in small sips, which is delicious, this is the life of rich people.

The eldest son and the fourth son of the ninth master were also cautious, only Qian Sanniang and Li Ruwan drank it all in one sip, smacking their lips, as if they were not quenching their thirst, Minister Yang glanced at them, it was really a cow chewing peonies, I don't know how expensive this is scaresome incense?

Uncle Huang also brought in a person, but it was the shopkeeper of the sun, commanding a few guys to carry the gift box, and during the greetings, Uncle Huang took out a letter with a smile on his face, but it was Wang Qiong'e's handwritten congratulatory letter to Yang He, and then in the gift box, it was the congratulatory gift she prepared.

Yang He opened it and looked at it, the font was still beautiful and beautiful, and every word in it made him feel a complex emotion in his heart.

When I first saw Wang Qiong'e, what impressed Yang He the most was the charming face, the pleasant and magnetic voice, and the very unforgettable, choppy big chest.

Generally speaking, there are still many appearances, but the bits and pieces under the eyes constitute a three-dimensional and vivid image.

He opened the gift box again, the congratulatory gifts were rich, there was still a pound of frightening incense, and then there were spring and summer clothes, shoes, socks, belts, and jade pendants, last winter, Wang Qiong'e had already given him a lot of winter clothes, cloaks, ear warmers, leather boots, and spring and summer clothes at this time.

From this point of view, Yang He's clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter are all covered by Wang Qiong'e, and he doesn't need to buy them.

And these things are all the latest, the most popular, and all of them are exquisite.

Sure enough, she is a woman who is at the forefront of the wave of popularity.

Yang He looked at the gifts, Minister Yang, Qi Youxin, Qian Lijue and others next to him were all envious, why didn't there be a woman to give them things?

It's so beautiful.

Qian Sanniang looked at the gift box, glanced at Yang He, and lowered her eyes lightly.

……

Yang He received the congratulatory letters, and Uncle Huang also said that his young lady was still in Huai'an Mansion for Yang Xianggong to Zhang Luo craftsmen, and after a while, there should be a group of technicians to come, which made Yang He quite happy.

He instructed Minister Yang to settle the bill if there was no problem with the goods.

Real money trading, no credit, no arrears, is his Yang He's style.

And then it's about phosphate fertilizers.

"Sea fish bones? Is rotting sea fish fine, the more the merrier? ”

Uncle Huang stroked his beard and groaned, his eyes turned on Yang He's face, guessing what this Yang Xianggong was going to do.

But obviously this is a secret of Xin'anzhuang, and it is inconvenient to investigate.

has been in business for so many years, and Uncle Huang knows the rules of the industry, and don't inquire into the secrets of customers, especially big customers like Yang He.

Anyway, collecting fish bones from the sea is not a violation of law and discipline.

"This is going to Haizhou, let me think about it." Uncle Huang groaned, recalling the relationship channels in the mansion.

Soon he responded: "No problem, how much Yang Xianggong wants, the Mansion will take it all." ”

Yang He was very happy, this rough wave is indeed a person with great connections, and this tentacle is stretched very long.

He said: "If your government produces meat porcelain jars in Haizhou, how many are there, I will need as much as Xin'anzhuang, and this list must be more and more year by year." ”

Uncle Huang is even more happy, in fact, the profit is definitely not high when buying rotten fish and crabs, the main thing is to sell Yang He a favor and enhance the friendship between each other.

But this meat porcelain jar, even the fish porcelain jar is different, after all, it is a fresh meat, and every meat porcelain jar has a lot of profits.

If the quantity is large and the order is stable, then another big source of revenue will be opened up in his house.

He guessed that Yang He bought porcelain cans, which should be used as military food and meat, and sighed in his heart that Yang Xianggong was really willing, is this still raising soldiers, eating meat porcelain jars, fish porcelain jars, I'm afraid that the battalion soldiers in Fucheng don't have this kind of treatment, right?

As Uncle Huang guessed, Yang He really wanted to make some canned food for military rations and meat, and of course there were dry food, rice and salted meat in the army at this time.

When the ordinary Ming army was out fighting, the main thing was to eat rice, that is, to cook the rice and put it in water to expose to the sun, repeat it many times, and finally get some dry rice.

When eating, you can eat it by cooking it and soaking it softly, which is quite advantageous in terms of preservation, but the taste of this rice is ......

Then some soldiers will be served with jerky, which is similar at home and abroad, basically salted meat and marinated meat, and the greatest consideration is to preserve it for a long time, as for the taste......

It is recorded that when the Pacific War broke out, many American sailors were even eating corned beef during the Civil War, and over the years, these beef had become as hard as mahogany, and the sailors carved them into warships.

It is then painted, sandpapered, and hung on the beams of the cabin as decorations.

Such a hard bacon is the same as eating black bread, you have to split it with an axe when eating, and then add water desperately when cooking, so that too much salt dissolves it, and stew it desperately, and finally it is a pot of meat paste, yellow, and the appearance is similar to that.

And then the taste, it's similar to that.

Canned food is much better, at this time there has already been canned food, not a high-tech, "Qi Min Yaoshu" has a record: "Cut the livestock meat into pieces, add salt and wheat noodles and mix well, and the inner porcelain is sealed with dense mud." ”

This ancient canned food can also preserve food for a long time, and there is no technical threshold, mainly the problem of the market.

How expensive is the meat porcelain jar, compared to canned food, people would rather buy some salted meat and cured meat.

Army? At this time, the military commander was reluctant to give his subordinates even excellent firearms, and he could give some jerky when he went to war, which was already considered sympathetic to his subordinates, as for the taste, let's go aside.

Therefore, no matter how good the meat porcelain jar is, it cannot be promoted without a market.

Compared with the people of this era, Yang He knew the importance of logistics, just as he didn't count the cost of work, and equipped his subordinates with a sharp breech Xin'an gun that cost eight to ten taels of silver, and sure enough, he reaped the greatest results.

In the battle against the Tongshan bandits, Xin'an Gong took a very large credit, and then seized tens of thousands of taels of silver, thousands of stones of grain and rice, and all the capital was returned.

Soon Yang He negotiated various matters with Uncle Huang, and seeing that Yang He traded thousands of taels of silver at every turn, Jiu Ye and others were all admired.

Jiu Ye even remembered that a few months ago, when he first saw Yang He, he was still depressed at that time, and even ginger had to rely on himself to help, but now it is such a big pattern.

……

After negotiating about fertilizer, Yanghe was much more relaxed, and the fields near Jiaoshanzhuang had begun to be cultivated, but without phosphate fertilizer, there would be no harvest at all.

If the ploughing team can't feed the villagers in the future, then there is no meaning.

He drank tea, and finally turned his eyes to the ninth master, Qian Zhongyong, seeing that he was preoccupied, just drinking tea silently.

He said: "After the ninth master is escorted, do you want to go back to Xuzhou, and what are your plans in the future?" ”

The burly man sighed: "Qian doesn't know, now the world is chaotic, and it is difficult to make a living by walking darts." But if you don't take a dart, what can you do, you can't swing a hoe. ”

Speaking of which, this well-known dart head is quite decadent, thinking that he founded the Feiyun Dart Bureau, high-spirited, did not think that many years have passed, but it has reached the verge of bankruptcy, which is really a big blow to him, a former man.

Uncle Huang is also concerned, in fact, after arriving in Huai'an Mansion, their palace, as well as his young lady's husband's Yan Mansion, and the famous families in Huai'an City, why didn't they win over the Ninth Master and wanted him to be the guardian of his house?

After all, Shang Jingshi is good at shooting, Tongzhou twelve horsemen are famous all over the world, when they were twelve horse thieves, Shang Jingshi was the leader, the Qing soldiers entered, the twelve people wanted to kill the thief to make great achievements, and encountered six hundred Qing cavalry near Lantau Mountain, after a fight, Qing Pi killed all three of them.

Twelve people also received arrows with their hands, the Qing soldiers fled, the twelve horsemen chased and shot, the arrows were stopped, a total of more than 300 Tartars were killed, there was no one injured, and the prestige spread all over the world.

Thirteen years have passed, and many people still remember the incident of the Twelve Horsemen in Tongzhou.

Although the Ninth Master is only one of the twelve horsemen, if he can accept it, he will definitely be able to greatly increase his prestige in the palace.

But the ninth master politely refused, he also had his own arrogance, and he didn't want to be a slave to others.

There are also people in Fucheng who propose marriage, as long as the ninth master is willing to submit, a certain prince of a wang clan is willing to take his daughter as a concubine.

The ninth master, Qian Zhongyong, was furious, although his daughter Qian Sanniang was tall, it was difficult to marry, and she was almost eighteen years old, but how could she be a concubine?

On the spot, he knocked the prince of the Wang clan to the ground with a punch, causing him to bleed from his mouth and nose and roll all over the ground, this matter is very troublesome, if it is not for the palace to come forward, the ninth master and his party may be difficult to leave Huai'an Mansion City.

Yang He sighed: "Yes, the world is chaotic, and it is not easy to make any living. To tell you the truth, after crossing the river, Yang was also frightened step by step, first there were Jiaoshan bandits, and then there were Tongshan bandits. I myself was assassinated, if it weren't for my fate, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to drink tea with you here. ”

Everyone sighed and said: "The world is chaotic, and survival is not easy." ”

Yang He said: "Fortunately, with these brothers and sisters, working together, there is the current situation of Xin'anzhuang." ”

He changed his tone and looked at the Ninth Master Qian Zhongyong: "What does the Ninth Master think of me as a Zhuangzi?" ”

The ninth master and the eldest son glanced at each other, and said sincerely: "Qian is also used to the rivers and lakes, and can barely be called well-informed. Although many villages are strong, they reject outsiders, and all the hungry people they encounter are expelled, without the benevolence of Yang Xianggong. They are also conformist, just willing to live behind closed doors, according to Qian's opinion, the north and south of the river, up and down the river, this Xin'an Zhuangzi is very rare. ”

Minister Yang and the others were all smiling, thinking that the ninth master was speaking well, and his eldest son Qian Likui nodded frequently.

His fourth son, Qian Lijue, was surprised, his father's evaluation was too high, although the Zhuangzi Hospital and the library made him very excited.

Jiu Ye said again: "Especially Yang Xianggong, Qian's evaluation is the dragon among people, Xin'anzhuang has grown from scratch and slowly developed to this point, I am afraid that most of it is the power of Yang Xianggong's head." This strategy, all kinds of things in this village, I am afraid that the upper and lower levels will work together, and they will not be able to reach this step. ”

He shook his head with a wry smile: "Qian's dart game is also called working together, the dart game is up and down, like a family, but ......"

Feiyun Dart Bureau has been in the game for more than ten years, and he Qian Zhongyong is the first word, and the brother of the dart game is also regarded as working together, but now he is going to go out of business.

Yang He said with a smile: "The Ninth Master is too famous. ”

He pondered for a long time and said solemnly: "The purpose of my Xin'anzhuang is to continue to grow and absorb heroes. Now Yang officially invited Jiuye to join Zhuangzhong, and we will work together to build a shelter in the troubled times. ”

He said: "The Ninth Master doesn't have to answer in a hurry, and I won't deceive you. In fact, after crossing the river, we were based in Zhuangzhai, and several major battles were more or less damaged, and some brothers were killed or wounded. Yang, as the general manager of Suining Lian, may soon have to fight against the thieves, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, no one can say for sure what is happening on the battlefield, the ninth master has to think clearly! ”

Everyone looked at Qian Zhongyong, and Uncle Huang was also concerned.

There are so many invitations from the big clans in Fucheng, and the ninth master has refused, will he agree this time?

Qian Sanniang looked at her father, and then at Yang He.

She bit her lower lip, her eyes drooping, like a star in a cold night.
