Zhuolu Mountain, the council hall.

Song Xiance said, "Brother Zhi has already left Dalintai and led the team to Liaodong. ”

Everyone in the hall talked about it, and they were all a little worried, Xiao Yingniang was especially dissatisfied, "Xiao Zhi is restless, I won't talk about him when he goes to Saibei, and he went to Liaodong again, Jiannu is fierce and tight, if... Alas! ”

With that, he sighed heavily.

"Aunt Song doesn't need to worry too much." Nan Nan said quietly, "We have been to Liaodong, and Jiannu is not a man with three heads and six arms, and not all of them have come back with all their tails, besides, my brother is going in the name of a merchant, and there are more than 4,000 people with him, so I don't have to worry about safety." ”

Nan Nan did not follow Zhiwen this time, in addition to the busy affairs of Zhuolu Mountain and the need for manpower, the large number of people who went east this time and the strong combat power are also a reassuring reason.

Xiaoying was a little dissatisfied, wrinkling her nose, "Hmph, Brother Xiaozhi is not righteous, and he won't take me with him." ”

"Okay, okay," Niuniu persuaded, "It's not like you haven't been to Liaodong, it's cold and snowy, why bother to suffer." ”

Song Xiance watched them talk with a smile on the side, and waited for a few people to stop talking before raising the letterhead in his hand and said, "Brother Zhi knows that Aunt Song cares about him, so..."

Speaking of this, he deliberately paused, sold a pass, and saw that everyone's appetite was hung by him, before he spoke, "... So let us pack up our things after the spring is started, after planting the spring grain, we will pack up our things, go north to the grassland, and meet him. ”

"Yikes!" Xiaoying was the first to jump up, "Brother Xiaozhi is asking us to play, great, I have heard Qiao'er say a long time ago, the grassland in spring is beautiful, and there are a lot of delicious foods." After saying that, I saw her swallow her saliva.

The other two girls were also excited, and they both felt a little unable to sit still.

Song Xiance shook his head and smiled, "It's not to play, but... Instead, they have to go and live outside the fortress. ”

After the wool does not have to worry, the output of sweaters has increased again and again, especially after Zhangjiakou is reopened to ordinary businesses, it is even more unstoppable.

There is also no shortage of manpower, Zhuolu Mountain and its surroundings, even the entire Baoan Prefecture have become a good place for refugees, knitting sweaters is not a difficult thing for women in this era, and they will soon be able to get started and even become proficient.

Under this premise, the miscanthus that Zhiwen robbed from Yanjia Village has almost been used.

It is estimated that it will be able to last until the beginning of spring, and after the peak season for selling sweaters has passed, you will have to find a new manganese.

Next, if you want to get miscanthus salt, you will either go south to Jiezhou to buy, and with Zhou Chengyun's help, you will not return empty-handed again, but it will inevitably cost a lot of money, and it is also a little far away from Zhuolu Mountain.

The best choice is to go north, Eren Zhuoer Lake under the auspices of Zhou Chengyun, has begun to produce nitrate, the lake is much larger than the salt pond in Jiezhou, in addition to being used as a veterinary medicine for export, used to clean wool, there is no problem at all, there is still a large amount of silver left, and there is no problem with secrecy.

"Go to live outside the Saiwai!" Xiao Yingniang exclaimed, seeing Song Xiance nodding in affirmativeness, she couldn't help but ask, "Why?" ”

Doctor Sun and the others were also puzzled, and they all looked at Song Xiance, waiting for his explanation.

"Dalintai also produces grain, and it is easy to open up the wasteland, with their seed fees, as well as the green salt and manganese from Erenzhuor Lake, we have enough wool to collect outside the plug, which is much less time-saving and labor-saving than the hard work of transporting grain and wool back and forth between the two places." Song Xiance explained briefly.

This decision was made by Zhiwen alone, and he did not discuss it with everyone, the first consideration was the net worth of these people who had been with him for several years, who were not blood relatives, but who were better than blood relatives.

Don't look at the people who have the support of the alliance in the officialdom now, the market is invincible with sweaters, making a lot of money, and even removing the eight grain merchants who have not been dealing with it.

It's not impossible to continue to stay in the Guannai, but the biggest problem is that there is no one who can really be trusted in Zhuolushan, Geng Ruqi, He Wenrui and others are just a combination of interests, and once something happens, they will not stand up for themselves and others.

Although Zhuolu Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are fields, it is a Jedi after all, and it is targeted by some red-eyed predators, and it still can't please you if you use the power of the imperial court.

Saiwai is different, to put it mildly, from Dalintai in the south to Erin Lake in the north, the place west of the two, Zhuolu Trading Company can be regarded as an invisible overlord, and nothing can threaten them.

Even if you lose your foundation in the customs in the future, you can get mixed well with grain, green salt, miscanthus salt, and rough-processed sweaters outside the plug.

"That's... What to do in Zhuolu Mountain? Xiao Yingniang asked reluctantly, although she has not lived here for a long time, she is happy and rich, which is really the best memory in her life so far.

"Just us people, as well as those who wash wool in the north, no one else needs to move, Aunt Song, if you want to be here in the future, you can come back and have a look." Song Xiance replied.

Eight thousand listened, thoughtfully, Erren Lake produces manganese, and it is its own territory, where it is indeed better to keep secrets by washing wool, compared with Zhuolushan, not only is it a little cramped, but it is not completely worry-free.

It's just that in addition to the initial processing of wool that can be completed in Erinhu, more elaborate ones, such as spinning fine wool, knitting sweaters, and even woolen cloth that is about to be launched, cannot be completed outside the Saiwai, and it is still necessary to retain Zhuolu Mountain and the trading companies under the mountain as the wool spinning finishing base and seed cultivation base of Zhuolu trading companies and labor unions in Kannai.

It is unrealistic and difficult to take so many people out of the mountains and mountains, and it is difficult to do it, and the Han people have always been inseparable from their homeland.

Anyway, the real core secret is the recipe for washing wool, Zhiwen's plan is that in the future, there is no need to control the entire wool spinning industry in one stop, and it can be completely let go, and he mainly sells washed wool, and other steps are completed by the merchants of all sizes.

Like cultivating mercenaries, the Zhuolu trading company can train the refugees who are now spinning and weaving clothes in Zhuolu Mountain and its surroundings, so that they can grow from complete dependence to a small trading company with a certain amount of autonomy in a semi-dependent state.

You can also cooperate with other large and medium-sized businesses to divide some of the benefits, which can also reduce some hostility.

Of course, these things have to be talked about after the woolen cloth is launched and a lot of money is made, otherwise it will not be a loss.

"Not negotiable?" Dr. Sun asked, he had not traveled to the doctor for some time, and he was also brought here.

"Brother Zhi said, there is no need to discuss." Song Xiance shook his head slowly but firmly, he could understand Zhiwen's painstaking efforts, but some things were not easy to say too clearly, and he couldn't say that Zhiwen's move was really guarded against, and it was the imperial court that he was really wary of.

It's up to everyone to understand it for themselves.
