Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Ten Servants of the Tyrannical Expedition
Yang Xi stayed in Xiangyang for more than ten days, and every day he traveled with Pang Shanmin to play in the mountains and rivers, and as for the goods, it was more than ten days later, and finally the news came.
Because Yang Xi did bring a lot of goods this time, and Xiangyang knew less about Chenhe wine, let alone glasses. However, Yang Xi had to sigh at the strength of the Pang family, there were 500 jars of wine and more than 6,000 knives of paper, and they were sold out.
The main reason is that Yang Xi's asking price is lower, and the paper is good to say, the price of shipping from the factory is 100 yuan a knife, and when it comes here, it is considered retail, Yang Xi's asking price is 200 yuan a knife, which is more than half lower than the market price. As for the retail price of the wine, Yang Xi sold it according to three or two jars, and even said that it was gone.
He didn't know that this was now ten taels on the market in Xiangyang.
This time the account was two thousand seven hundred taels of silver, and Yang Xi had to sigh, doing business had to do this.
Now that the money was in hand, Yang Xi simply stayed for a few more days, and after rewarding Pang Shanmin's supervisor, he asked him to help purchase a large amount of grain, iron, and coarse salt.
Do the math, it's almost October. Yang Xi checked, in October, Wuling County (now Changdexi, Hunan) rebelled against the Han Dynasty and plundered the county, and the matter was quite big, Wuling is not far from the current Jiangxia, in case of a wave of trouble.
Fortunately, this time the Wuling army was quickly suppressed, but just in case, Yang Xi decided to end the trip as soon as possible.
This time he went to Xiangyang, and he didn't even go to Xiangyang City, just to avoid trouble, after all, his strength is not suitable for too many people to know.
Bidding farewell to Pang Degong, Yang Xi took Pang Tong and began to return to Exian County, Pang Shanmin has been sending ten miles with the boat, which shows that the relationship between the two can already be described as iron.
Yang Xi also asked about the Yan Gang, but Pang Shanmin said that after some time, he would personally bring the Pang family's merchant ship to Exian County, and then talk in detail.
Yang Xi knew that there was a play.
On the first day of October, Yang Xi went all the way south, crossed Maicheng, and pointed directly at Xiakou. Then it entered the Yangtze River, passed through Xiling, passed through Yi County, and returned to E County.
On the second day of October, the Thanksgiving Day of the Chenhe factory, under the arrangement of the supervisors of various units, Yang Xi was not there, and the celebration was carried out as usual, but everyone always felt that something was missing.
Yang Xi returned to Exian County, and the good news came, according to Yang Xi's design, the school has been built, just waiting for Yang Xi to come back and arrange.
In a month, about 200 people have been added, and now the daily wage of the Chenhe factory has reached a terrifying 70,000 yuan. It was seventy taels of silver for a white flower. The monthly expenditure is more than 2,000 taels, which is simply scary at this time. But Yang Xi is willing, his business, the cost is people.
And various benefits are also improving step by step, such as this school. All school-age children, who go to school from the age of five, have a tuition fee of 50 yuan a month, which is nominally, in fact, the school will put this money into the account, but the Chenhe factory will take out the money to subsidize it all.
In October, Wulingman really rebelled against the Han and conquered several counties successively.
On the sixth day of October, Chenhe School was established, and the principal Yang Xi, the vice principal Guantian, and the other detailed persons in charge were selected by the new examination.
Chenhe School is divided into adult department and children's department, and has two research rooms: physics laboratory and chemistry laboratory. On the day of the start of school, Li Qi, the magistrate of Exian County, personally issued a list, all children in Exian County can be enrolled for free, and the transportation expenses are borne by themselves, and the tuition fee is reimbursed by the Chenhe factory.
Within a week, 560 students enrolled in the school's children's department, of which one-third were children of Chenhe factory employees.
Pang Tong was naturally sent to school by Yang Xi and started from scratch. The school conducts monthly examinations, and selects class cadres based on the results of the monthly examinations.
Immediately after the eighth day of October, Chenhe No. 4 was successfully launched. So far, Yang Xi has basically gained a firm foothold in Exian County, and the number of workers in the Chenhe factory has reached 2,356.
There were 267 guards in the guard battalion, and 204 guards in Chenhe Shipping. This means that the number of combatants has reached more than 400 people, and of course, the ship's guards are not just combatants, but also bear the responsibility of loading and unloading the cargo together with the ship's strength.
In addition to the Jiangxia Huang family, there are more large and small scholars from Qichun, Chaisang, Yixian, Xiling, and Jingling have sent fleets to reach contact.
Of course, some of this belongs to the Hu family and the Luo family. The Luo family is okay, after all, they are small landlords. But the development speed of the Hu family is also fast, as a wealthy family at this time, they are more willing to do business with the same wealthy family, if it were not for the Chenhe Port belonging to the Chenhe factory, Yang Xi suspects that the Hu family will develop faster than himself.
The development of the Huang family is not slow, since the last time, he has also formed his own fleet and rented his own faΓ§ade in Chenhe Port.
Chenhe Port is thriving, but Yang Xi doesn't know that Chenhe glass products, Chenhe paper and Chenhe wine have begun to spread to the north. In particular, a batch of goods brought by Yang Xi to Xiangyang in September were transmitted north to the capital Luoyang through the major scholars.
At this time, in a certain courtyard of the palace, Bi Lan, one of the ten permanent attendants, was holding a wine bottle that Yang Xi especially aimed at the highest-level scholars.
This wine bottle is exactly the same as the copper wine bottle used by the scholars, but its whole body is made of glass, which is made of steel molds specially arranged by Yang Xi for Niu Han.
At this time, Bi Lan, as one of the ten permanent servants, is not to mention monstrous, but he is also one of the most important minions of Emperor Ling.
In the spring of this year, Emperor Ling ordered the restoration of the South Palace, which was destroyed by fire the previous year, and ordered Bi Lan to recast four bronze figures and four yellow bells, the bronze figures were listed outside the Nangong Canglong and Xuanwu Que, and the yellow bells were hung in front of the Yuntai and Yuhua Palace. In addition, the Tianlu (the legendary beast name) and the shrimp toad are cast to swallow the water, and the water is turned into the palace, and it is used as a rollover, a thirsty bird, and it is used to sprinkle and sweep the road, which is extremely exquisite, and the annual money is forcibly looted from all over the country.
Bi Lan is now the spokesperson of the Spirit Emperor's raids.
Bi Lan's court order is to take charge of the books and accounts of the people in the palace and the female workers of sericulture, which is all purchased. Although the overturned car he invented was only one year later than Yang Xi, its main role was not an invention, it was called procurement, but actually a forcible seizure.
"Little Tadashi! This Chenhe glass bottle, as you said, is indeed very exquisite. It is said that the market price is one hundred taels of silver, and there are currently six in Luoyang City? "Even if it is a thousand taels of silver, for him Bi Lan, this can only be regarded as a small dish, but the meaning is different at this time, he has taken a fancy to the source of this thing, if he has more in his hand, it is definitely a big fortune.
The little eunuch next to him hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Lord Bibi! Xiao Zhongzi also just heard about it, Xiao Zhongzi also heard that this Chenhe glass bottle, Lord Zhang Rang, Lord Zhao Zhong, Lord Xia Yun, Lord Guo Sheng, and Lord Sun Zhang all have a bottle in their hands, plus this, a total of six. β
"I just want to know where this thing came from!"
"My lord, it is said that this product is produced in Jiangxia, but someone used a secret recipe to calcinate it for 7749 days in a rapid fire, and then after ten years of experience craftsmen, it was made of watery things, and its process could not be made in the slightest error." Merchants in this world, boasting, no one has verified at all, everything for their own things to be sold at a good price.
"Good! Since you know the origin of this thing, then you go to Jiangxia and bring this person to me! β
"Yes!"
What you bring here is not so simple as bringing it, it is to come and come, and you have to come if you don't come.
Chenhe School currently offers a total of five courses, language, mathematics, combat, physics and chemistry. As the principal, Yang Xi takes a class every day, only as a guest lecturer, and the vice principal Guantian arranges teachers to teach.
Some of these teachers are Yang Shao Yang Xi and they represent a certain course in a class, which can be regarded as part-time.
Yang Xi is very concerned about the school, and these are the main forces in a few years. As a principal, I go to a class every day to cultivate my prestige and a sense of presence in the hearts of these future talents.
Now everywhere Yang Xi goes, everyone is very respectful and is called the principal. This made Yang Xi feel a little proud.
Now the scholars in Exian County and even the surrounding counties even have some ideas about Yang Xi's marriage, but Yang Xi has always been relatively unconcerned about this and shirked the past.
He's playing with another idea.
The lack of doctors is an obvious shortcoming of the Chenhe factory, and others can't feel it, because others think it's normal for people to die of illness, but Yang Xi doesn't think so. The talents that have been cultivated with great difficulty will be gone after typhoid fever, and how many resources will be spent.
Besides, every cultivated talent, including workers, is an advertisement, which will carry Chenhe's culture and thoughts, and affect I don't know how many people.
So Yang Xi began to search for some Langzhong in the countryside.
Hu Langzhong's surname is Hu, but he has nothing to do with the Hu family. He became the first Langzhong of the Chenhe factory.
Hu Langzhong saw Yang Xi and felt a little embarrassed, after all, he had already sentenced Yang Xi to death, but he didn't expect the world to be impermanent.
"Hu Langzhong! Let's not mention the past, since you have now agreed to enter my Chenhe factory, you are my Chenhe people, you can rest assured in terms of treatment, according to the treatment of the supervisor level, I want to establish a hospital, called Chenhe First Hospital, and you will be the president of the first hospital. β
"Hospital? Dean? "Hu Langzhong didn't understand, he didn't participate in the training.
"It's the medical hall, it's bigger than the medical hall. You mean to be the curator, but before that, you need to be like everyone else, go to Chenhe School for further study, and you can only take office after a month, and even if you take office, you have to participate in the school's study. β
"Also, I will pass on some medical knowledge to you, the first hospital will set up a medical team, you will train medical personnel, I will find some content from the book of heaven for you to conduct clinical research, and the trade team will purchase all kinds of medicinal materials from all over the country, you have to classify them one by one."
Yang Xi said Stop here, the amount of information is too much, and Hu Langzhong can't accept it. Yang Xi is working on the printing of the "Compendium of Materia Medica", a medical masterpiece, but this book is full of pictures and texts, and it is estimated that it will take a lot of time. But Yang Xi doesn't need to print it all at once, he plans to publish a volume every once in a while for Hu Langzhong and the hospital team he formed to conduct research experiments.
They just have to do it, and Yang Xi will prepare everything for them.
