Chapter 149 Supply Implementation
Almighty Cultivation Supreme
Liu has grown up to be really tall and mighty.
If it weren't for learning mathematics and science from Su Baiyi, even Su Baiyi himself would think that this thing was a rough man.
Because he looks a little exaggerated.
Not to mention the height of nearly one meter nine, he is also full of fine meat, he tried it in the blacksmith shop of Bao Erhei at that time, and when he went down with a hammer, the red-hot hammer head was smashed into a deformation.
The reason why he was brought with him this time was that Su Baiyi also had safety considerations. After all, if such a big man goes forward, even a bandit must carefully consider whether to hijack it.
Therefore, the people of Niujia Village should have some abnormal reactions after seeing him.
Several people from the Niu family were also cheerful, and after fifteen lit the lumps, they also came to the table and lay down, holding a large piece of sauced beef and eating it with relish.
The flames were blazing, and the temperature of the room suddenly went up.
Su Baiyi drank a few sips of wine, but he didn't dare to drink more when he was out of town, so he stopped his cup.
But the bezoar and his nephew are on the eighth day of the first month, you have a cup and I have a cup of drink.
When the wine is full of fun, there will be a lot of talk, and when you speak, you will not cover your mouth.
It is said that Niujia Village is located in Fengyang Mansion, and every time the imperial court recruits soldiers, it is the first place to contribute people. The village sent people to Liaodong in two groups in a row.
The first time was more than ten years ago, when the whole army was wiped out in the First World War, and 67 men in Niujia Village died in the icy and snowy northern land, and there is nowhere to find the corpses.
Later, he sent people to Liaodong, which was two years ago.
Now some of these people are dead, some are still alive, but they can't be contacted.
In order to preserve the blood and bones of the Niu clan, the patriarch took the few remaining clansmen to hide in the mountains, fearing that he would be recruited by the imperial court again.
"The Niu family is noble!" Su Baiyi sighed and gave a thumbs up.
In order to protect the family and defend the country, the son and grandson sent wave after wave, and none of them came back, and the two bones that died in a foreign land and other countries were not cleaned up, and no one could stand it.
"Alas......" For Su Baiyi's praise, the bezoar just sighed heavily, and then took a sip of stuffy wine.
However, there was only this pot of wine, and although a few people were not happy in the end, it was impossible for Su Baiyi to buy it from the system.
After all, this thing looks like a bottle when you get it, and if you get too much, it will be fake, and it is difficult to ensure that it will not be suspected by others.
Everyone is drunk but no one is drunk, but it is the highest state of drinking.
Su Baiyi no longer concealed it, so he told Niu Huang about the purpose of coming to Fengyang Mansion.
"To tell you the truth, I waited to come to Fengyang Mansion this time, but I actually wanted to find something here!" Su Baiyi asked Liu Cheng to take up the bag containing the quartz stone, poured out two cold stones, and said, "This is it!" ”
"Stones?"
The two Niu family were stunned for a moment.
Niu Chuba said: "This mountain is everywhere, what do you want it for?" Suddenly, he stretched his neck suspiciously: "This is not jade, right?" ”
"Jade fart, this is a stone!" After all, Niu Huang is the patriarch, and he still has some insight compared to Niu Chuba. He frowned, seeing that Su Baiyi was carrying such a heavy thing, it didn't look like a fraud, so he said, "What does Su Xianggong want him to do?" ”
"Of course I have my own uses, and I'm going to use this thing to make a thing!" I can't say it too clearly, and I can't explain it if I say it too clearly, "The quantity needed is still quite large, but it is extremely troublesome to transport this thing to Guide Mansion!" ”
Su Baiyi also sighed.
Under current conditions, it is almost impossible to transport this thing by land.
If you transport it by water, you won't be able to organize it for a while.
"This thing is everywhere, and it's worthless, if Su Xianggong needs it, I can dig out some for you, it's everywhere in the front and back yards of this house!" Niu Chuba stood up and pointed to the wall outside: "That wall is built with this thing." ”
Comparisons are odious!
Looking for things that can't be found in the whole world in Guide Mansion, they are lost everywhere in Fengyang.
"I know you don't have a shortage of this kind of stone, but it's a problem to transport it by water."
Su Baiyi smiled bitterly.
Niu Huang, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, and said, "If it is transported to Guide Mansion, it will not be a trouble!" ”
"Not a hassle?" Fu Lin took the words and was stunned.
Then he rejoiced.
"Yes, it's not a hassle!" Niu Huang's face is black and red, and his cloudy eyes are very clear at the moment, "Take the waterway, we are behind Nushan Lake, take the waterway from Nushan Lake to Huaishui, from Huaishui all the way to the east, after entering Hongze, avoid the main waterway to the Yangtze River, go north to Huai'an, but there is a river that can enter the Yellow River." ”
There must be a river that enters the Yellow River.
It can also be said that there must be a river coming out of the Yellow River, because the Yellow River seized the Huai River into the sea, that is, a few more streams of water came out of Huai'an and rushed into the Huai River.
However, the downstream siltation is serious, and it is really difficult to say whether the ship can be sailed.
"I heard that the Yellow River north of Huai'an is seriously silted, I don't know if I can take a boat?" Su Baiyi naturally asked.
"You can't get through a big boat, but you can go in a small boat!" Niu Huang took a deep breath and said, "There are two small boats in our Niujia Village, which can pass through there!" ”
"Yo!" Su Baiyi was in awe: "Uncle Niu has been to Huai'an before?" ”
"Hmm!" The bezoar didn't say much: "I went there a few years ago!" ”
Su Baiyi was in a good mood, patted the coarse cloth clothes on his body and stood up, and said, "Okay, can you take me to see what the stones in your area look like?" ”
In ancient times, quartz stone was actually no different from ordinary stone, but it was whiter.
Niu Huang nodded, and several people followed him.
Approaching the front of the house, a frozen river blocked the way.
"There are also in the mountains, and it is a bit troublesome to go to the mountains to collect stones, but in fact, there are many in this river." Niu Huang pointed to the frozen river, and then said to Fifteen, "Fifteen, you go to the house and get a pickaxe." ”
It's better to say it's a river than a mountain stream.
Liu Cheng had the greatest strength, and he slammed the ice a few times with a pickaxe in his hand, but he couldn't open the ice for the first time. After a few more painstaking chisels, I made a hole the size of a steamed bun.
Looking down from above, the thickness of the ice is a foot long.
This is simply unimaginable in the south of the Huai River.
However, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, it happened.
The freezing brought by the Xiaoice River did make Su Baiyi sigh, in fact, as far as he knew, this is nothing, Hainan Province has been snowing for three days and three nights, such a funny thing can happen, and the ice cubes frozen in Fengyang Mansion are nothing.
Liu Cheng dug along the hole a few times, expanding the ice hole, and below was a shallow bend of clear water, which could be touched to the bottom of the river with a pickaxe.
Although the light was not very good, Su Baiyi still saw that the river embankment was paved with white crystalline stones.
Fu Lin was not afraid of the cold, so he stretched out his hand and fished a piece up at the bottom of the river, so cold that he screamed.
"You're stupid!" Su Baiyi said with a smile: "Won't going to the house and getting an iron tong will solve the problem?" ”
Holding the frozen stones in the river water, the group returned to the warm hut of the bezoar.
Su Baiyi placed the stone on the table, and the clusters of crystal blocks on it shimmered with cold light under the firelight.
"That's it, yes!" Su Baiyi said: "It's ridiculous that we ran so far on our backs." Go back and lose all the contents of the cloth bag, and when you are about to leave Shimen Mountain, you can get a new bag. ”
In the laughter of the disciples, his face regained his solemnity, and he was silent for a long time after roasting his hands beside the fire, and then raised his head and said to Niu Huang: "There is a livelihood, that is, to send this kind of stone to the Yellow River in Guide Mansion, I don't know what Niu Lao can do?" ”
Niu Huang twisted his beard and said, "The old man takes the little guy who can move in the village, and it's not a matter to go back to Defu." ”
"Not a trip!" Su Baiyi said solemnly: "If there is no accident, I need at least 20,000 catties of stones like this every month!" ”
Fu Lin made six furnaces, each furnace completed a hundred catties a day, which is 18,000 catties a month.
And that's not even counting the production that will be expanded in the future.
"Every month?" Niu Huang vaguely felt that he had found a way to make a fortune.
"Yes, every month!" Su Baiyi groped out twenty taels of silver from the cloth bag and put it next to the bonfire: "This kind of stone is transported to Guide Mansion, ten catties per penny, this is twenty taels of silver, it is the first money, I will pay you first!" ”
Niu Chuba gasped.
Twenty taels of silver!
Can you sell five acres of good paddy fields, so easy to earn?
Transporting the stone to Guide Province, the stone is worthless.
Listening to his tone, he needs 20,000 catties every month. Twenty taels a month, two hundred and forty taels a year.
My brother Di is obedient, and I sent it!
Chu Ha hurriedly signaled the bezoar with his eyes and asked him to agree as soon as possible.
Niu Huang pushed back the silver to Su Baiyi: "Su Xianggong don't pay the silver first, I haven't been there for several years, and I don't know if the waterway north of Huai'an is passable, if it is, when our master transports the stones to the ground, it's not too late for you to give it!" Besides, Su Xianggong, your price is too high, our stone is not worth this price! ”
"That's it!" Su Baiyi took away ten taels of silver from the following twenty taels, leaving ten taels for Niu Huang, and said: "The price is so decided, it doesn't matter if it's higher or lower." The key is to ensure the smooth supply of goods! As for the silver, I will give you half of the old man first, and the rest will be given when the delivery is made, and the silver will be paid at that time! ”
"This is also a rule!"
Niu Huang was not pretentious, put away the silver, and said: "Su Xianggong, don't worry, when I arrive at Guide Mansion, I will go to find you!" ”
Su Baiyi left an address and said, "There is one thing I still want to remind you. Today's world is not peaceful, as the saying goes, wealth is not exposed, and I hope you must keep it secret about sending stones to Guide Mansion. I'm thinking about a few people, anyway, as long as I give money, there must be a lot of people willing to deliver it. ”
"Thank you Su Xianggong for the reminder!" Niu Huang's face was full of confidence: "I won't tell you, the little second child who bought and sold on the river was not undone in the early years, and the masters of Niujia Village were only a few of us. You're waiting in Guide House! ”<
