But the word "open source", it's easy to say, but if you really put it into practice, it's really too hard. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At the beginning, Zhang Shihua thought that he was sitting in the Pingdingshan Coal Area and the Wuyang Mining Area, two good places where coal, iron and salt could be mined in large quantities. It shouldn't be a problem to get rich and support the soldiers under his command, but when these things are really done, Zhang Shihua can't help but find that what he thought before was really too simple.

Coal, iron, and salt, these three things are indeed rare and good things, but at this time, Zhang Shihua really has no way to make a fortune with these three things.

After all, coal and iron, Zhang Shihua is now just self-sufficient, and it is not enough for his own use, where is it possible to sell out. And even if it is sold, Zhang Shihua can only sell it to other rebels now. Because at the time when the Yuanmeng court was vigorously begging for thieves, there were really no businessmen who dared to do business with Zhang Shihua behind the back of the court.

Of course, this is only talking about coal and iron. Salt is different, at this time, salt is completely equivalent to a hard currency like gold, as long as Zhang Shihua has it in his hand, he must not worry about sales. However, what is embarrassing is that Zhang Shihua does not have much salt in his hands now.

That's right, Wuyang does have a large number of salt resources, but in this year, if you want to mine salt from the ground, it is not a little difficult. After all, in an era when there are no industrial drilling rigs and it is extremely difficult to even dig a well, let alone mine salt, which is much larger and more difficult.

Zhang Shihua has already asked the craftsmen under his command who know how to mine well salt, anyway, according to them, it will take more than a year to open a well salt now, if everything goes well. Yes, you read that right, it's just more than a year of hard work.

Moreover, according to their calculations, for every well salt opened, at least Zhang Shihua had to come up with three to five thousand taels of silver.

Now you can already imagine how helpless Zhang Shihua was when he heard this. "Sister, more than a year, five thousand taels of silver, then by the time you finish it, the labor and management are estimated to have gone bankrupt a long time ago." This sentence was what Zhang Shihua thought at that time.

Originally, this thing was really scary. Therefore, from that time on, Zhang Shihua decisively gave up the matter of mining well salt. Because for Zhang Shihua today, mining well salt is completely a bottomless pit. At that time, it is estimated that before the well salt comes out, he himself has been consumed to death.

"Damn, it's unfair. The traversers of other people's homes are all goldfingers wildly, and in three or five years, China has been able to run into a capitalist society. But look at yourself, it's been five or six years, but he's still just a rebel leader, and he doesn't even have a good way to make money. ”

After not thinking of any good way to open source for a while, Zhang Shihua looked at the ledger that couldn't get in and out, and couldn't help but slander in his heart.

"Labor and management still don't believe it, and the living can still be suffocated to death by urine. One person counts short, two people count long. I'm going to call Chongsan and Ziyu and the two of them to see if they have any good solutions. At this point in the year, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but say to Li Wu, who had been silently guarding beside him: "Ah Wu, call Chongsan and Ziyu to me, and say that I will have something important to discuss with them." ”

"The last general obeys!" Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Li Wu, who had been standing there silently, couldn't help but say aloud for the first time.

……

After a while, Zhao Ziyu, who received Zhang Shihua's order, couldn't help but put down the affairs in his hand and hurried towards Zhang Shihua's mansion.

"It turned out to be Lord Li, and my subordinates visited Lord Li." When Zhao Ziyu walked to the gate of Zhang Shihua's mansion, he also saw Li Chongsan, who was called by Zhang Shihua together. Seeing Li Chongsan, Zhao Ziyu, who used to work under Li Chongsan, couldn't help but immediately bow to such an old boss.

As for Zhao Ziyu, a small catcher like Zhao Ziyu who used to work under him, but now he is soaring, Li Chongsan does not have any jealousy in his heart. Because Li Chongsan is different from Thursday Jiu, he is a person who is easily satisfied and very self-aware.

He knows how good he is, so he's grateful for everything he's doing now. Because without Zhang Shihua's support, it is possible that he would have died in the rebellion long ago after Liu Futong's uprising.

Therefore, when he saw Zhao Ziyu, a former subordinate, saluting him, he also hugged Zhao Ziyu with a smile and returned the salute.

And after the two greeted each other like this, the two also walked into the lobby where Zhang Shihua was located.

After walking up to the lobby with his head down, and slightly seeing Zhang Shihua sitting in the main seat with the residual light in his eyes, the two couldn't help but bow to Zhang Shihua one after the other: "Xiaguan Li Chongsan (Zhao Ziyu) meets the general." ”

Zhang Shihua: "The two gentlemen are quickly excused." Ah Wu moved a seat for the two gentlemen. ”

"Your Excellency General Xie." Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Li Chongsan and Zhao Ziyu couldn't help but bow again.

Then, after thanking them and taking seats for the two of them after Li Wu took them, the two of them also bent down slightly, with respectful expressions and carefully sat down on half of their buttocks.

And after the two sat down, Li Chongsan, who was an old official under Zhang Shihua, looked up at Zhang Shihua, who was sitting in the main seat, and couldn't help asking: "I don't know if the general will summon the subordinates, but what do you want to order?" ”

When Zhang Shihua heard Li Chongsan's words, after looking at Li Chongsan and Zhao Ziyu sitting in the hall, he couldn't help but say with a worried face: "There is an ancient saying: 'Before the soldiers and horses move the grain and grass, go first. And it was said, 'A hundred people raise a pawn.' Now the general has only five cities under his rule, and the people are only more than 100,000, but he has to provide for 7,000 soldiers, which is really weak. ”

"So, Ben will invite two gentlemen to come here today, just to ask the two gentlemen, what is the open source method?"

"The open source method?" Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Li Chongsan and Zhao Ziyu couldn't help but fall into thinking after looking at each other.

I have to say that Zhang Shihua's question really stopped the two of them. After all, trapped in the limitations given to them by the times, whether it is Li Chongsan and Zhao Ziyu, who are crawling at the bottom, or those Confucian talents who are bored and doing studies at home, the idea of valuing agriculture over business is deeply rooted in his bones.

So when they heard Zhang Shihua ask them about the way to open source, they really didn't think of any other good way for a while, except for recruiting homeless people to cultivate their fields.

But when it comes to recruiting displaced people to Tuntian, they are naturally not stupid enough to say it at this time. After all, this is already the tenth month of the lunar calendar, and it is already about to enter winter. Aren't you?

So after thinking of no good way, the two looked at each other, and Li Chongsan couldn't help but say to Zhang Shihua: "Returning to the general, your subordinates are so stupid, you can't share your worries for the general, please punish you." ”

"Please punish me." After Li Chongsan knelt down and said such words, Zhao Ziyu couldn't help but bow down like this.

Seeing this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help frowning. I couldn't help but sigh to myself: "Hey, it seems that in a short period of time, we can only solve the problem of open source by constantly expanding the territory." And after saying this, Zhang Shihua looked at Li Chongsan and the two who were kneeling on the ground and pleaded guilty, and couldn't help but say with a gentle face: "Two gentlemen, hurry up, this is indeed a difficult thing for the general, the two gentlemen are not guilty, hurry up and forgive the courtesy." ”

And hearing Zhang Shihua say this, Li Chongsan and Zhao Ziyu's faces couldn't help but flash a touch of shame. After all, Zhang Shihua gave them high-ranking officials to support them, but now they can't share their worries for Zhang Shihua, which can't help but make their hearts a little unbearable.

However, Zhang Shihua himself really didn't care about anything. So after seeing the shame on the faces of the two, Zhang Shihua encouraged them with kind words, and then asked them to step down. However, after looking at the backs of the two about to leave, Zhang Shihua suddenly remembered one thing.

So after that, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but look at Zhao Ziyu, who was about to leave, and said: "Ziyu, you stay first, there will be something to talk to." ”

Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, although Zhao Ziyu's face was stunned, he naturally stayed as ordered. Seeing this, Li Chongsan also nodded at Zhao Ziyu with a smile, and left the mansion alone.

"General, do you still have something to order your subordinates?" Looking at Zhang Shihua with a smile on his face, Zhao Ziyu couldn't help but bow his head and ask respectfully.

Seeing Zhao Ziyu like this, Zhang Shihua said with a smile: "Ziyu doesn't need to be so restrained, they are all his own brothers, just be casual." Come, sit down. ”

"Your Excellency General Xie." Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, although Zhao Ziyu still had doubts in his heart, he still hugged his fists and thanked him, and sat down in his seat.

After seeing Zhao Ziyu and sitting down, Zhang Shihua looked at Zhao Ziyu and couldn't help asking: "Ziyu, is Gao Tang still healthy at home?" ”

However, listening to Zhang Shihua's words, Zhao Ziyu said with a sad expression: "Back to the general's words, the next official is blessed with a bad fate, and the parents at home are high, and they drove the crane immortal one after another three years ago. ”

Seeing Zhao Ziyu like this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but say apologetically: "Ziyu is sorry, I will make you sad." ”

Zhao Ziyu: "The general doesn't need to be like this, the ancestors have gone and cannot return, and they are from the lower official province." ”

And hearing Zhao Ziyu say this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but nod with relief on his face and said, "It's good that Ziyu can understand this truth." I think that the ancestors of Ziyu's parents in the family must be extremely relieved to see Ziyu like this in the spirit of heaven. ”

"Your Excellency General Xie." Hearing Zhang Shihua's comforting words, Zhao Ziyu couldn't help but bow again with a touched face.

And just like that, after Zhang Shihua and Zhao Ziyu chatted very cordially for nearly an hour, after the relationship between the two was almost one step closer, Zhang Shihua looked at Zhao Ziyu but couldn't help but smile and asked: "Ziyu, what do you think of my cousin, Shihui?" ”

Hearing Zhang Shihua ask like this, Zhao Ziyu was stunned but couldn't help but say: "General Xiao Zhang, he is loyal and brave, benevolent and righteous, and he can be described as a real good man." ”

In that case, Ben will also have something to say. Ziyu, you also know, Shihui has never married yet. He once said to me, as an elder brother, that he was in love with the sister in your family. So I, the eldest brother, can't help but take him to Ziyu and your sister-in-law to propose marriage, if Ziyu and your sister-in-law agree, you and I will marry Qin Jin forever, okay? ”

Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Zhao Ziyu couldn't help but be completely stunned. He really didn't expect that Zhang Shihua would propose to his sister-in-law on behalf of his brother this time. However, after being stunned for a moment, Zhao Ziyu's heart thought about it, and he couldn't help but bow to Zhang Shihua with joy on his face: "It is the blessing of my sister that General Zhang can take a fancy to my vulgar sister. ”

"Haha, okay. In this case, when the war was over, I wrote a letter to my uncle, asking him to send a matchmaker to his door. At that time, Ziyu and I will really be our own brothers. After saying this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help laughing aloud.

……

There are two flowers, one on each branch. In other words, when Zhang Shihua brought his brother to Zhao Ziyu to propose marriage, in Xiangcheng, a hundred miles away from Ye Xian, Gong Buban, who was the privy secretary of Jiangbei Province, was in a state of panic and worry at this time.

After all, the sin that Gong Buban committed this time was too great. As the deputy commander of the thief army this time, according to the plan, he was supposed to assist the red turban thief in Runing Mansion with the thief master army of King Wei first after exterminating the red turban thieves in Nanyang.

However, it had only been three or five days, and the main force had just set off, and more than half of his men and horses had already been lost. Obviously, after such a big defeat, the original plan to fight the thief can be said to be completely lost.

Therefore, the current Gong Buban does not pray that he can turn defeat into victory. Now he only hopes that in the future, he can use his family's money to keep his wealth and reduce the punishment of the imperial court. Because of such a fiasco, no matter how big his heels are in the hard background, his official position will definitely not be kept.

"Hey, it's 30,000 taels of silver. That's it! Looking at the back of his henchmen's subordinates riding their horses away, Gong Buban couldn't help but feel sorry for the large amount of money he bribed Shangguan to exonerate himself.

"If you can't fight, just guard Xiangcheng, if you continue to fight, you will really go bankrupt." Thinking of the powerful combat power of the Red Turban Army, and thinking of the silver that went out like flowing water, Gong Buban couldn't help but say to himself.
