Chapter 80 Tong Guan wants to patrol the border in the spring

Zheng Zhi arrived in Weizhou, but the Planter Dao was still in Gyeongju and did not come back, not that the Planter Dao had nothing to do with the bandits to make money, but that the Planter Dao did not expect Zheng Zhi to come back so soon, he just thought that if he was fighting, he would have to fight for a few days.

Zheng Zhi took his subordinates and moved 50,000 taels of silver into Jingluo Mansion, just waiting for the little seed minister to come back and check it.

Of course, Zheng Zhi also thought about secretly cutting off some of the money, but he didn't do it. First, Zheng Zhi is rich now, and the business of the shopping mall is getting better and better, the two shopping malls in Weizhou and Qingzhou can always earn Zheng Zhi more than 1,000 taels a month, and Deyue Building is not bad, and he can earn 2 or 3,000 taels a month.

The most important thing is that Zheng Zhi's wine has opened up a market in the nearby state capital, and he can sell as much as he can. It can bring in thousands of taels of income a month, and this number is still rising. On the contrary, there is no need to fight the idea of 50,000 yuan of food, it really outweighs the loss.

When Zheng Zhi returned to Weizhou, the first thing he did was to continue to expand the scale of the winery. Not far away, a huge brewing workshop was built, and a large number of brewing technicians from nearby state capitals were recruited. Purchases of sorghum and other grains have also begun.

Throughout the Northwest, the price of sorghum has risen.

It's really that the supply of raw wine is also insufficient, so Zheng Zhi can only brew it himself. He even wondered if he could improve the distillation process and brew spirits directly, eliminating the need to purify alcohol with lime. I just don't have time to do this for the time being.

If the liquor is brewed, it is also very useful to purify it into relatively high-purity alcohol. At the very least, it can save many lives medically, especially in the case of military trauma, which can effectively control the complications of wound infection.

Li Er and Li Xingye are really busy now, and naturally in the process of doing things, their abilities are getting stronger and stronger, and even Li Er has accepted a few apprentices.

Time slowly passed for another two months, and the cold winter had really arrived. The cold winter in the northwest has a kind of cold that penetrates the heart.

The New Year will be more than a month away, and this is also Zheng Zhi's first year in this world.

Zheng Zhi was busy with one more thing a year ago, that is, the house surnamed had been bought, basically renovated, and repaired many dilapidated places, which was not far from the old house, and it was only half an hour to walk past.

Li Er also took great pains to make a gilt plaque for Zheng Zhixin's house, with two big characters of Zheng Mansion written on it.

The door is also rebuilt, and it is also extraordinary, in this Weizhou city, only Jingluo Mansion looks more majestic than the door of this Zheng Mansion. The architectural style of the northwest is mainly simple, not as good as the south, so this Zheng Mansion is extraordinary.

There are three courtyards, more than 20 side rooms, three main halls, and six side halls. When the Xu family first came in, it was like entering the Grand View Garden, looking east and west, and they couldn't believe that such a house was their home.

On the contrary, Jin Cuilian has more knowledge in this area than Xu, and when she was in Tokyo, she also went into the mansions of large families a few times. Compared to the house in Tokyo, Zheng Zhi's new home is nothing.

Li Erxiao is very filial, and Zheng Zhi arranged to buy two maids and a working girl. Li Er tripled, bought six maids, three servants, and hired a cook.

When Ruda saw this house, he no longer wanted to go back to the class room of Jingluo Mansion to live, so he rolled up the cover and came over. Niu Da also came to live with him, saying that he came to see the family's nursing home.

Now this inner courtyard is inhabited by Zheng Zhi's family and six maids, and the courtyard of the second entrance is inhabited by Jin Laohan, Luda and Shi Jin. The outermost yard is naturally inhabited by three small maids and a cow.

Even so, there are quite a few empty rooms in this courtyard.

Zheng Zhi was busy with one thing, using water and loess and mud in his bedroom in his wing, and everyone around him was watching, and he couldn't do anything.

I dug up the bluestone floor of the wing room and dug it deeper. It is surrounded by green bricks, pasted with mud and lime, and then opened the window and roasted directly on a fire.

Zheng Zhi is going to make a fire kang. At this time, the fire kang did not appear, but it was rare, and there were occasional caves in the countryside. But there is really no one in the city who knows how to make a fire. In fact, most of the houses in the city are wooden buildings, and ordinary people dare to burn fires in their houses, even if they are surrounded by invisible fires, and if they accidentally burn down the houses, they will lose the property accumulated for generations.

Zheng Zhi is not afraid of this, and does it himself, also for the sake of safety. It is really this harsh winter in the northwest, and every heating device is called how Zheng Zhi can sleep.

It is not only necessary to make a good pan of the kang, but also to do a good job of ventilation of the kang, which is also a technical job.

In the past two days, Zheng Zhi also sent a letter to Shaohua Mountain, preparing to let Wang Jinye and Lin Chong's family come to Weizhou to meet a year ago. Wang Jin naturally lived in his new home. Lin Chong's family also had arrangements, and it happened that Zheng Zhi's old house was free, so he settled Lin Chong's family.

After more than a month, Lin Chong's family and Wang Jin also came to Weizhou City. Now Lin Chong is no longer called Lin Chong for the time being, he is called Zheng Chong, and he is Zheng Zhi's cousin in the countryside.

Wang Jin is also called Zheng Jin, and he is Zheng Zhi's cousin in the countryside. They are all Kaifeng people, and they came here to join Zheng Zhi, a developed relative.

In this way, there will be no problems in Weizhou.

It was extremely convenient to arrange for the two of them to join the forbidden army, and it was extremely convenient to come under his command, and it also covered up the identity of the tattoo on Lin Chong's face. Most of the generals at the bottom of the forbidden army have tattoos, and many of them are from the prisoners who were assigned to them, and they rose step by step from the prison city army. This was also a military system unique to the Song Dynasty.

There are a lot of ondols at home. The end of the year is also slowly coming, and the last point of the year is the end.

The small kind of Xianggong also gave his generals an annual fee, which is really a lot, and it is also a lot of money for the small kind of Xianggong this year, that is, Zheng Zhi alone brought back 50,000 yuan of silver.

But it was this last order meeting, and after arranging everything, the seed master Dao finally said something.

"Tong Jingluo sent a letter, saying that he was going to personally patrol the border at the beginning of the spring, and this time was important, and after the beginning of the year, they would go back and go to the defense area to prepare for this matter, and they couldn't break their faces." Seed Master Dao said.

Tong Guan wants to patrol the border, to put it bluntly, he wants to do a pre-war border inspection, and Zheng Zhi didn't expect Tong Guan to do this, and it is rare for eunuchs to go to the border to inspect in person. Listening to the tone of the little kind of Xianggong, this Tong Guan is not going to go through the motions, but really wants to inspect it.

Patrolling the border is really a big project, not to mention the long distance and difficult to walk, and it is also very arduous, and it is also a really sinful errand.

Zheng Zhi didn't think much about it when he thought of this, Tong Guan patrolled the border and didn't seem to have anything to do with him, but Zheng Zhi just gave Tong Guan a few more glances.

"This time, Tong Jing patrolled the border, personally ordered Zheng Zhi to accompany the guards, Zheng Zhi, you also have to make preparations, as soon as the snow melts, you will leave." The planter said again.

Zheng Zhi nodded yes when he heard this, but he was not very happy, this is really a chore, a trip to the border down, it can't be completed in two or three months, and they are all walking in the wild countryside, and there is no comfortable place to rest, it is really a sinful job.

I can't help but think that when the limelight is out, it is not necessarily a good thing to be valued. And this hard work.
