Zu Mao took the silver taels, motioned to the sergeant next to him to give a hundred yuan to the tour guide, and then said, "Along the way today, you have mentioned Gongzi fifteen or sixteen times. Can you tell us more about your son-in-law? ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to introduce his son, this little guy immediately had a look of admiration, and even gave up his hand in a certain direction.

Then this little guy began to introduce Yang Xi, and he talked for ten minutes, and Zu Mao did not interrupt.

After finishing speaking, the little servant took a sip of tea, but Zu Mao said: "I am in Changsha County, and I have heard of your son-in-law, but I don't know what you said about the matches that your son-in-law has recently developed, what is the use?" "Everything in Chenhe Port, although Zu Mao is in Changsha County, he has heard a lot, but matches are new products, but he has not heard of them.

The little guy took out a small wooden plank, and then took out a cloth bag with dozens of small wooden sticks in it, and began to demonstrate on the spot.

In order to promote, Yang Xi can be described as painstaking, and each tour guide can go to Chenhe Port to receive free matches, a pack for three days.

Zu Mao was a little puzzled, and the little guy took out a small wooden stick, one end seemed to have a small red and black head, and pulled the small head on a piece of red and black on the wooden stick, only to hear the sound of "boom", the small wooden stick was actually full of fire, and then a small fire slowly burned on the wooden stick.

Zu Mao's heart jumped suddenly, and he thought to himself, it is really powerful, this thing is simply magical.

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears and seen it with his own eyes, Zu Mao would definitely not think that this was a man-made thing, and it would not be far from being a divine thing.

"My son-in-law said that he developed this thing, aiming to solve the problem of people lighting fires to make meals, with this thing, there is no need to leave fire in the stove to avoid fire at night."

Zu Mao said: "How much is this thing worth?" Where can I buy it? ”

"The price of this thing is not high, my small bag, but it is ten dollars, half a meal, if you want to start in large quantities, as long as you go to the row of stores we walked, almost every family has a supply."

Zu Mao said in his heart, but he has to take some of this thing back, so that some craftsmen can see how this is made.

"I'm passing by here today and want to meet your son-in-law, do you know if it's convenient?"

Speaking of meeting Childe, the little guy shook his head and said: "If Childe is in Chenhe Port on weekdays, it is a small person like us, and it is easy to see, if you have questions to ask, Childe doesn't care about our low status, and is enthusiastic to solve it." But usually when Childe is here alone, I can't wait to disturb Childe. But today it is said that Gongzi went to Pengze County in Yuzhang County, and Gongzi recently bought some land in Pengze County, preparing to establish a third port market there in addition to Chenhe Port and Mengjia Port. ”

When Zu Mao heard this, his heart tightened, and he blurted out: "This Yang Xi is so ambitious, he wants to expand again!" "He is General Sun Jian, and he doesn't care about anything when he talks on weekdays, so he naturally doesn't think too much.

As soon as he said this, the little guy hurriedly stopped: "The general can't call the son's name and say such disrespectful words!" ”

At this time, this little guy was angry, and seemed to be a little displeased with Zu Mao's words, and many guests next to the hotel also heard Zu Mao's words at this moment, and they all looked sideways, with angry faces.

A considerable number of these eaters are Chenhe factory workers, and some are small merchants, Yang Xi is now a god-like existence in their hearts, the kind of god of the people who can talk to ordinary people without any identity.

Zu Mao also found out that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Ben Jiang just said it casually, and he didn't have any hostility towards your son-in-law. I lost my words just now, but Ben will be wrong, you take Ben to buy some things, and then help Ben Jiang to ask for a gang of feet to carry the purchased things onto the ship. ”

Along the way, Zu Mao was not interested, bought a lot of wine, matches, glasses, paper, etc., and left Chenhe Port on the same day.

got on the boat, Zu Mao secretly speculated that this Yang Chen River, the foundation is so solid, in the future, if the lord wants to dominate Jingzhou, this person is a trouble, back to Changsha County, he must explain the situation to the lord and urge the lord to make a decision as soon as possible.

At that time, Sun Jian had already pacified the three counties of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang, Wuling was too shou Cao Yin was afraid of Sun Jian, Nanyang was too shou Zhang Zhi was also quite jealous of Sun Jian, and Jiangxia was too shou Liu Xiang had a good relationship with Sun Jian, so Sun Jian actually dominated most of Jingzhou.

In Zu Mao's consciousness, the lord must be the pastor of Jingzhou, even if he can't do it, he can actually dominate.

Yang Xi didn't know that there was a big man passing by his Chenhe port at this time, and now the number of people in the Chenhe factory has skyrocketed, the production capacity has reached its peak, and the supply of any product has begun to be excessive, so it can only continue to expand sales.

Just more than ten counties above Chaisang to Jingling cannot meet the sales requirements of the Chenhe factory, but out of these places, it is not under control.

So Yang Xi decided to open a port market in Pengze County, opposite Chaisang.

Pengze is also one of the eighteen counties of Yuzhang County, and its geographical location is as important as Chaisang.

Both are on the edge of the Yangtze River, one is in the upper reaches of the lake and the other is in the lower reaches of the lake, and the two counties are like a pincer.

Peng Lize broke Yuzhang County from the middle and divided it into two sides, Yang Xi wanted to use Peng Ze as a radiation point and the products to occupy the market on the other side.

With Yang Xi's current prestige in Yuzhang County, it is possible to welcome him wherever he goes.

Sure enough, on the day of the completion of the port, the magistrate of Pengze County led the county officials and many squires to congratulate him, and his attitude was very low-key.

The county seat of Pengze County is actually ten miles away from the port of Chenhe, but the county magistrate Li Jian led everyone to come on foot, which is low-key enough.

Others gave themselves face, Yang Xi naturally wanted to give face, so he simply invited the county magistrate Li Jianhe and dozens of people to come with him and went to the Chenhe fleet together.

Now that Yang Xi has the strength, he naturally has to put on a full show, ten steamers, lined up, stretching the river for several miles, as much as possible for more locals to see the grand occasion here.

The various businesses that were originally in Chenhe Port and Mengjia Port have also come to Pengze Port to open their businesses again. Now Chenhe is already a signboard, everywhere you go, there seems to be no unprofitable, they can follow the development of Chenhe Port, do business everywhere.

The Huang family of Exian County, finally joined the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce on the day of the opening of Pengze Port, announcing the disbandment of slaves and becoming free people. More than 2,000 people were organized by Chenhe School for study and training.

After a few years of development, several large merchants also grew, including the Hu family, the Huang family, the Luo Lan family, the Meng family, and the horse dealer Fei Ma, who also became the horse dealer tycoon of Jiangxia and Yuzhang at this time.

As for Lu Dong and Cen Hang, the yarn ingot dealers who first knew Yang Xi, these two people combined the last words of their names and established the Eastern Airlines Trading Company, and now they can also rent big ships in Chenhe Port and enter trade in various places, and they have done 90% of the yarn ingot trade that no one else wants to do.

China Eastern Airlines spindle has now become the spindle brand of Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, and Yang Xi has to admire the perseverance of these two.
