Chapter 308: Trivia at Home
Zhang San said goodbye to Shuang'er and returned to the courtyard, as for going to see Li Qingming, he would naturally see it at the meeting, but now it's better to go, he still has a lot of things. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang San returned to the courtyard, where Yang Tai was instructing a group of children to practice martial arts. These should be the older children who graduated early, and Zhang San used to think that the main direction of these children in the future is to serve as discipline leaders in various research fields, as well as the chief officers of the army in the future.
Now Zhang San plans to send a group of them to Hangzhou to see the sailors' school, by serving as sailors, then as captains of merchant ships, and finally growing into admirals, with this group of people, at least 90 percent of the rebellion can be reduced, and the overall strength of the navy can be improved.
But this is obviously not the main task tonight, Zhang San is looking at dozens of training children with interest, these should be a group of people who are still interested in practicing martial arts, Zhang San was watching and suddenly saw a monkey running towards him, Zhang San pointed to the hall, the monkey nodded and waited in the hall.
Yang Tai saw Zhang San come in and motioned for the children to pause the assembly, Zhang San nodded and stepped forward to say some words of encouragement, the children were all very excited when they were praised, Zhang San no longer bothered and signaled them to continue training.
When he came to the living room, the monkey was standing in the hall, and when he saw Zhang San, he said, "The third brother is back?" Have you entered the palace? ”
Zhang San nodded and asked, "Is there anything important in the capital recently?" ”
"There are a lot of things, the third brother will sit down first and I'll talk to you slowly."
Waiting until Zhang San was done, the monkey said: "First of all, Pang Shun heard the wind, and suddenly disappeared last month, and now the dock is managed by the fourth brother, and the third brother asked me to monitor Gao Yu was sent to the northwest by His Majesty, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, Zhang Dian was arranged as a mountain envoy, and it was rumored that he would lose power." ……”
Zhang San heard him babbling, Zhang San was also very helpless, so he had to ask, "First tell me the news related to us." ”
The monkey smiled awkwardly: "That third brother, there is not much news related to us, but recently, Qian Jin's business has become bigger and bigger, and there are more and more workshops between the princess and the third brother, and everyone is attracted by these things. ……”
Zhang San rubbed his head, can this monkey be at this level? Zhang San said: "Tomorrow night, notify all the brothers near the capital to come over for a meeting. ”
I'm afraid that the monkey won't understand Zhang San and continued: "Yang Tai, Luan Tingyu, Hu Ge, Wen Huanzhang, Qian Jin, Old Man Huo of Weiyuan Dart Bureau, Li Si, Sister-in-law Yang, Wu Shuang, Yan Qing, and Sister Le are also called." Is there a list of people who have recently defected? ”
The monkey touched his head and said, "I'll go and count it." ”
Zhang San smiled and said, "It's okay, take your time, how is the pigeon training?" Can you send a letter? ”
"I tried it two days ago, and there was no problem," the monkey said. Liu Ge said that there was no problem with sending letters, but if you keep it outside, you have to put it back once a month or two, and it will be fine. ”
Zhang San nodded and said, "How many are available?" ”
The monkey said, "There must be thirty or forty." ”
Zhang San nodded: "You arrange for him to be loaded on the ship immediately and transported to Hangzhou with the dart goods of Weiyuan Dart Bureau." ”
The monkey nodded and said that he knew, Zhang San looked at the monkey's face a little worried, Zhang San had to comfort: "It's okay, I'm in a hurry to come back, you may not be prepared, go back today and sort it out, the detailed news will be reported to me tomorrow." It's okay here, you go get busy. ”
The monkey nodded, immediately walked out of the door, and came up halfway up and asked, "Third brother, has the emperor made you an official?" ”
Zhang San smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, just do your thing." ”
Not long after the monkey went, Li Si came from outside, and was very happy to see Zhang San: "Third brother, I just heard that you are back, I came over to see, what is the matter with the official family looking for you to come back?" ”
Zhang San smiled: "It's nothing, just order me to publish a news, do you know this thing?" ”
Li Si frowned and said, "News? It's the scraps of paper printed by those merchants with strange news? There are several merchants in the capital who specialize in this business. ”
Zhang San nodded and asked, "How is the business in the capital?" ”
Li Si put the news behind him and said: "I just came back from the shipyard today, and our ferry became a hot commodity as soon as it was built, and now many people want to buy it, and the orders are scheduled until the end of the year. ”
Zhang San nodded: "We must control the quality, there must be no problems, or the signboard will be smashed, and it will be troublesome to remedy it." ”
Li Si said happily: "Hey, I know, the paper mill can now make 20,000 pieces of paper a day, and now the sales of printed books are not very high, and the paper in the warehouse is almost out of stock." Just as you're back, is the paper mill going to reduce production? ”
Zhang San calculated and said: "The emperor asked us to make news, this paper still has to use our family, and then a large piece of paper is only enough for one newspaper, so the paper mill not only can not reduce production, but also expand, at least increase the production capacity by more than 50 times, you first expand the output of the paper mill to 50,000 sheets a day, and reach the scale of 100,000 sheets within a month." ”
Li Si's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Okay, I know." Pang Shun on the dock on our side ran away overnight, and I took over the coke oven he left behind, and then since our ferry began to operate, there were more people on the dock, and those people wanted to buy the land on the dock, and I didn't dare to call the shots if you weren't there. ”
Zhang San nodded and said: "This is easy to do, the dock side should separate the corresponding market, leave enough road space, and leave a part of the good land for your own business in the future, and the rest can be sold." I'll make a sketch and decide then. ”
Zhang San thought about it again and said: "As soon as Pang Shun leaves, it is estimated that the coke from the north will enter Tokyo, and it is estimated that the business will be difficult to do for a while, but don't rush to cut workers, I will design a new type of coke oven in a few days, and then I will take this opportunity to transform a batch." ”
Zhang San felt that talking to Li Si was much happier than talking to the monkey, Li Si thought for a while and asked: "Liuzi has sent a few batches of more than 20 good horses, and we are now almost fifty horses except for the more than ten horses that we rode away last time, don't you let Liuzi send horses over." ”
Zhang San shook his head and said: "This is not good, as long as there are good horses, they will still receive them, and arrange a boat to send them to Hangzhou in the near future, and they will deal with the lack of horses there." ”
Li Si didn't say anything when he heard it, nodded his head to indicate that he knew, Zhang San thought about it and asked, "How is Qian Jin doing lately?" ”
Li Si's eyes lit up and said: "Brother Qian is really talented, the business in the capital is well organized, and now there are eight branches of Yixing Hutchison in Tokyo, and eight have also opened in the suburbs of Beijing, and one of our own docks will open in a few days." I don't know much about the other businesses, but they are all very good. ”
