Mashan Township Sifu, surname Fan, name Ling, character Zixin, a native of Exian County, is a cousin of Hu Kan in the county. This is the news that Yang Xi got from Roland, Yang Xi secretly calculated in his heart, if this is the case, then it is just right to open up this line, and there is no problem with the sales of Chenhe wine in Exian County.

But there are not many people in Exian County who can afford to drink this wine, a jar of wine is an acre of land, according to this consumption, township-level landlords outside the county seat, dare to drink one or two jars a year, it is considered to be a dead man.

Township-level landlords are not considered strong at this time, they can only be regarded as small landlords, and they are relatively wealthy in the poor family.

At this level, it is the object that Yang Xi needs to win over and transform.

"You are that Yang Xi Yang Chenhe? Well! Not bad! A talent, I've heard Roland say you a few times, but it's a bit whimsical. After Yang Xi saw this, he was dragged out of his thoughts by Fan Ling.

"Master Sifu has won the award, this is all because Brother Roland gave face to the kid, and the kid has barely mixed up until now."

The first time the two met, Yang Xi was not a big man, and speaking of which, Fan Ling didn't want to continue to talk to Yang Xi.

Roland naturally saw it and hurriedly began to sell this Chenhe wine. Fan Ling's reaction was better than that of the three elders, but the shock in his heart was no less than that of the three elders, but as the head of a township, he was a little calmer.

Roland took it upon himself to take the initiative to send ten jars of forty-two degrees to Fan Ling, which made Fan Ling more enthusiastic about Yang Xi, of course he knew that this wine was given by Roland, but the source was not Roland, so his impression of Yang Xi was also a little better.

Yang Xi doesn't like this kind of official tone, so he treats it as a normal relationship, and it is still more important for him to have a good relationship, so he simply drank a few glasses on the spot.

After a few glasses of wine, he heard Sifu mention something that made Yang Xi depressed, saying that the county magistrate intended to return the Chenhe Shenche to the imperial court, but fortunately, the county lord delayed the matter, and he naturally didn't want to do much.

Yang Xi knows that since last month, since the Yellow Turban Uprising, it is estimated that no one will care about this kind of people's livelihood in the future, but if there is a war, Yang Xi's manpower there is a good place to be arrested.

"We still have to strengthen ourselves in order to slowly expand our achievements." Returning to the Jute Pavilion, Yang Xi thought while reflecting.

Three days passed in a flash, and early in the morning, Roland had already come to the Jute Pavilion, along with the big dog and the housekeeper Luo Zhi, eight mules and a few tenant farmers who drove the mules.

Yang Xi nodded, this guy is quite reliable, he makes his own wine, he contributes, and by the way, he also brought the forty jars that Yang Xi sent to the third elder.

Yang Xi took the three dogs and rushed to the township with Roland's team. Along the way, Yang Xi began to inquire about the three elders and Exian, and the result surprised Yang Xi.

The third elder turned out to be a member of the Huang family of the wealthy family in Anlu County, Jiangxia, although he was not a descendant, but he was also the larger one in the side branches. In the entire Jiangxia, the largest family is the Huang family, which is said to be after Huang Xie, the fourth prince of the Warring States Period. Of course, these three elders are probably the side of the lineage, otherwise they would not have been mixed into a township to be the three elders, and they are so old that they have only mixed into this position.

This Jiangxia Huang family, I am afraid that after two thousand years, it will also be an extremely large family, Yang Xi was a little stunned, is he going to contact a big man who can go to the official history.

In fact, when I came into contact with Huang Sanlao, I was still far from the Jiangxia big man Huang Zu, although these three elders were said to be higher than Huang Zu, but it is estimated that the kinship is extremely far away, that is, there are some brothers in the eighth and tenth generations.

"To tell you the truth, the Huang family in Exian County only belongs to the branch of the Jiangxia Huang family, but there are also many contacts. Even if it is the Huang family in Exian County, we are just small shrimps, you look at the three elders and a marginal character, and they will ask you for forty jars at every turn, you will know that it is amazing. According to the specific strength, you just need to know that the south of Exian County to the east to the river does not belong to the Huang family, and the townships to the north are basically in name only, and most of them are the Huang family's industries. ”

"Huang Ping, the head of the Huang family here, even if he is the county lord, he has to give face, as for the county magistrate, he has no foundation here, he can only be regarded as a passerby!"

Hearing this, Yang Xi roughly knows all kinds of intricate relationships, the landlord is strong and powerful, and it seems that there is a long way to go. Fortunately, he landed in the Jute Pavilion, if he was twenty kilometers to the north, he would have been caught and sliced and studied at this moment.

But in this way, these forty jars of wine are probably their best advertisement.

"There is also a big family in Exian County, that is, the Hu family in the east of the county seat and by the river, which is another family second only to the Huang family. Lord Xiancheng is a member of the Hu family, and my brother-in-law of the Luo family, Lord Sifu, is a cousin of the Hu family, now, you can believe in the strength of my Luo family. ”

Yang Xi listened and sighed, the world's families, connected into a network, how difficult it is to tear and smash this network of interests!

In fact, it is as strong as Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei, and they are not the representatives of the interests of the powerful family, and the war is about money and the economy, without the support of the family, Cao Cao Sun Quan and Liu Bei are also scum.

But thinking about his identity, Yang Xi's confidence has returned.

"Before I came, productivity and knowledge were in the hands of the family, but now it's different, I can cultivate more productivity." Yang Xi is full of confidence.

Originally, he still wanted to go to Exian County during this time to see what he could gain, but now that he thinks about it, it's still early, wait for himself to be stronger, and now whether it is in terms of force or power, it is gray in the eyes of others.

"Brother Roland, I suddenly have such an idea, Brother Roland can be responsible for the full agency business of Exian Chenhe wine, but the cost of each jar of wine is two taels of silver, I think when Brother Roland settles the bill, half of it will be replaced by grain."

"Half? Half of it is ten stones, if you can produce ten altars every day, I don't want to bring back 100 stones of grain from Exian every day. According to Brother Chenhe's calculation, a hundred stones are 3,100 kilograms. ”

In the entire Exian County, it is impossible to supply so much food every day.

"That's definitely not enough, but Brother Roland also said just now, the premise is to sell ten jars a day, but is this possible, I look at one or two jars a day, that's not bad."

Roland nodded and said, "That's too, if you can really have ten altars a day, you and I will send it." Hahaha"

"That's it! Ha ha! However, if it can really reach a certain amount, even if Brother Luo can't offset it with grain, he will be able to offset it with things, such as iron tools. ”

"Ironware? This is easy to say, although it is difficult to get, but it is more convenient, and an iron farm tool is only a few hundred dollars. ”

"It's not iron farming tools, I want iron arrows!"

"Tear! Do you want iron arrows? Your crossbow is more than enough for hunting with bamboo arrows, and you want iron arrows, are you going to rebel? ”

"It's not! For self-defense! ”

"A large number of iron arrows, I don't dare, my Luo family, even if there is a master of Sifu in the cover, I don't have this ability, even if it is in the county seat of Exian, there are only 200 county soldiers, and the crossbow machine is not as many as your brother Chenhe, and the iron arrows are only more than 1,000. In this way, you and I have always been honest with each other, and I don't blame you, but there are two slaves in my Luo family, who are apprentices in the blacksmith shop, and I will sell one to you, but the price of the craftsman slave is not cheap, and I have to pay 8,000 yuan, and as for the raw materials of iron, I can supply you with them. ”

In the era of cold weapons, the control of crossbow machines and swords was relatively strict, especially for large quantities, and local government officials had great responsibilities.

"Good! Tomorrow I will send you five jars of wine, and ten taels of silver for one and two taels of iron. ”

"Good!"

Originally, Yang Xi was just a test of it, but he didn't expect it to happen. However, this is also the result of interests being bound to a certain depth.

The next day, the big dog brought a young man to arrive, this young man was about the same height as Yang Xi, but he was much stronger and fat.

"Slave Niu Han, meet the master!" This Niu Han obviously can't be his own name, it is estimated that it was given by the blacksmith or Roland.

"How old are you?"

"The slave is seventeen, and I have learned to make iron for three years with Master Luo Qi, a blacksmith, and now I have learned to cast iron."

This Niu Han also knew that Yang Xi bought him over to ask him for his skills, and directly said the extent of his learning.

"Good! Not bad! Then you should have no problem making clay molds and then casting molds, right? ”

"The slave has just finished learning the clay mold casting, and the forging has been mastered last year." Niu Han is confident.

"Niu Han! Come to me, there are a few things you need to know. First, I'll give you a design graphic and size, and you can make a clay mold tomorrow. Second, within three days, you and Master Lu will make a bellows that meets the requirements according to my design drawing. Then I made the object I designed from the clay mold and forged it. This is the rule of entry. Third, after getting started, you must follow the working hours of our factory to train and learn in a unified manner. Fourth, in my Chenhe factory, there is no master, no slave, after the first and second articles, your daily wage is fifty yuan, one thousand five a month, until you pay off the purchase of eight thousand, I will give you a deed of sale, you are free, you can choose to continue to serve my Chenhe factory, or you can find another job. Fifth, you can't call yourself a slave in the future. ”

What Yang Xi said will be used as the rules of the Chenhe factory. When Niu Han heard this, his heart was extremely excited, this was a chance to get rid of his slavery. But how did he know that he was the price of four jars of wine, just dozens of kilograms of grain.

Yang Xi didn't forget to check Niu Han's data, and after a test, he was taken aback.

"Brain development is 10%, physical function is 78."

"I'll go! Is this what strikes iron? ”

Yang Xi was a little speechless.

Subsequently, Yang Xi called Yang Di.

"Find me three men under the age of twenty who are physically strong, preferably fat, and settle them within three days. Blacksmith apprenticeship, apprenticeship day 35 yuan, after promotion to qualified blacksmith, 50 yuan a day. ”

"Okay, Childe, wrap it up on Yang Di."
