This trip is not in vain, I have seen it for a long time. Based on what Cheng Yue told them, the gift given today is worth the ticket price. Follow Cheng Dadu to supervise it, yes.

The meals were very simple, and Cheng Yue was not in the mood to prepare stir-fried vegetables for them, and this matter would be handled by Yunluo in the future. But no one was dissatisfied with this, and everyone was talking excitedly about the next development. Soon some alliances, large or small, appeared. More people plan to leave for Shanghai tomorrow and start building houses and land in advance, in order to prepare for the future.

Cheng Yue left four adults to explain everyone's doubts, and he entered the side hall to meet a few people alone.

Wang Bangjie's relatives in Suzhou, the heads of the Wang family and the Gu family, who had been helping Cheng Yue with military uniforms, finally met Cheng Yue.

The heads of the Tian family, the Zhao family, and the Lu family, the three major money houses in Suzhou, also came to visit under Su Rong's recommendation.

Also here were several big businessmen who had sent Cheng Yue a lot of money to participate in shipbuilding.

The heads of the family visited Cheng Yue with sincere fear, and Cheng Yue kindly invited them to sit down and talk.

The heads of the family only dared to sit down on half of the chairs and listen carefully to Cheng Yue's words.

Cheng Yue gave special treatment to these merchants who supported him first, so let them meet alone.

The Wang family and the Gu family have made a lot of money because of soap and so on, and the civilian versions of military uniforms and military boots have also been prepared, so they can be sold after Cheng Yue sees it.

Cheng Yue took the samples they brought, looked at them for a while and said, "Okay, sell it like this, remember what I said about brand awareness, don't make your own brand upside down." Tomorrow I will go to the farm, and I can advertise you on the road, so that the market can be opened up at once, so you must remember that you must not lower the quality requirements, and you should rather sell less than fool the customers. ”

The two families nodded gratefully.

Cheng Yue said: "I asked you to suspend making military uniforms because the quantity is too large, and I am afraid that your money will not be enough." You have done so much for me, and I will not forget. There are also a few blueprints of the clothes that the troops will wear in the summer and autumn, and you will also be asked to do them. In the same way, change the color, you can sell whatever you want. Also, to compensate you, I'll give you another recipe. Mosquito bites are really uncomfortable in the summer, and the formula I give you is the recipe for mosquito coils, and you can start mass production now, and you will definitely make a lot of money in the summer. In addition, I want you to produce cotton socks**, and there are all kinds of design drawings here. As for the patterns, you can design them yourself. ”

The two families were overjoyed, and Cheng Yue gave them the opportunity to make a fortune, although it cost a lot of money to increase the order for military uniforms, but Cheng Yue's return was enough to compensate.

Xie Chengyue, the two took over the drawings and recipes, and quickly put them away.

Cheng Yue said to the three money banks: "The bank will be built immediately after I arrive in Lin'an, and each of the three of you will send a few people to be apprentices to see how the operation of my bank is actually going. Rong'er has trained a lot of people, but it is still not enough, banks around the country have to be established one after another, the paper used for silver bills has been developed, and the training of secret custody is about to end, these are core secrets, you must pay attention to confidentiality, and there must be no mistakes. If you have money to spare, I support you to expand branches around the country, you don't have too few shares, if you have a large share, it is not a good thing. With less shares, the business will last longer, and when the business grows, you will understand that these investments are your best investments. In addition, don't go to the bank in Shanghai first, I will send someone to do it. It's not that it's preventing you from getting rich, it's that it's too risky now, and you'll still have a chance in the future. But be careful, don't compete with each other. Otherwise, the lawsuit will come to me, don't blame me for being unkind. ”

The three families got Cheng Yue's promise, and they also had a bottom in their hearts. More importantly, it solves the problem of vicious competition that the three companies have been worried about. With Cheng Yue's words, whoever dares to mess around has to think about it.

As soon as the heads of the three families discussed, they took out another 3 million yuan, which was three times more than the previous 1 million yuan. Except for Cheng Yue, the shares of the bank can only account for 20% of the total of the others, and we must take advantage of the current time to put in more capital.

This large sum of money startled the concubines, but Cheng Yue didn't take it to heart, just asked them to discuss the matter with Su Rong, and he didn't care about the specific affairs.

Cheng Yue said to several big businessmen involved in shipbuilding: "What Jiangyin is building now is actually a small boat, mainly for them to accumulate some experience. What I'm going to build is a big ship that is five to ten times larger than the largest ship now, and I will use steel to make the keel and some parts, so that I can sail on the sea. I've already started manufacturing marine steel. The advantage of steel is that it can resist the corrosion of seawater, and it can make the ship stronger, so it can sail to the sea. I'm going to make another battleship, and you can participate in this as well. The idea is that when the conditions are ripe, I will sell you some warships that are slightly worse than the military ones. You can use this to expand overseas, but I'm going to take a big stake. Overseas Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Oceania have a great deal of wealth, and I can't occupy them all by myself, and even you are not enough. In the future, I will organize more people to go on overseas expeditions. You have to be prepared for this during this time, the fleet I organize will be very large. After the completion of the bank, a large amount of gold and silver will be shipped back from overseas, which will also replenish the bank's capital. ”

Several big businessmen were shocked by Cheng Yue's courage and hurriedly inquired about how much it cost to build a big ship, and Cheng Yue explained to them in detail for a while.

These big businessmen have gained a lot from this trip, and they left one by one satisfied.

Early the next morning, Cheng Yue and the guards all put on military uniforms and walked out of the main gate of the mansion with four adults.

Outside Suzhou Mansion, the Wang family and the Gu family let out the wind last night, and Cheng Yue will go out in the morning. So as soon as the morning dawned, a large number of people stood at the door and waited to see Cheng Yue, and when Cheng Yue really went out, the small square at the door and on both sides of the street were already full of people.

As soon as Cheng Yue and the guards appeared, the crowd immediately made an "uproar", attracted by the heroic military uniforms worn by Cheng Yue and others. Although short hair looks a little unaccustomed, it complements each other with this outfit and is very handsome.

Cheng Yue and the others all got on the horse, and the shiny riding boots made the crowd shine again.

This dress is so beautiful!

Cheng Yue smiled and waved to the crowd of onlookers, and then led the crowd away.

Until Cheng Yue and the others slowly walked away, the crowd was watching from afar, and the discussion about this dress did not stop from the beginning.

The people sent by the Wang family and the Gu family, who were scattered among them, took the opportunity to advertise where this dress could be ordered, and there were ready-made ones that could be bought directly.

Many people in the crowd immediately went straight to the two shops.

The Wang family and the Gu family make clothes and shoes. Although I had been prepared, I was still frightened by the surging crowd. Thousands of people were so busy that they were almost paralyzed, and all the ready-to-wear that had been made in advance was swept away.

At first, there were still a few people who dared to wear this kind of clothing openly, and most of them wore it at home, and they still wore the traditional wide robes and large sleeves when they went out. But as more and more people wore it, people began to wear new clothes on the streets, and as more and more people began to wear civilian versions of this military uniform, this trend slowly swept through the Southern Song Dynasty and was transmitted to the Yuan Dynasty. It's just that the craftsmanship of tailor shops in various places is very different, and the farther away they are, the more out of shape, so that many deformations that make people laugh and cry are derived, or the best in Suzhou, this is a later story.

Cheng Yue was led by Yin Yu to a very well-protected farm. The students who had followed Cheng Yue to learn agriculture before were excited to greet them.

As soon as Cheng Yue entered the door, these people surrounded him, and before Cheng Yue could say a few words to them, a lot of questions popped up.

It's no wonder that they have been studying with Cheng Yue for a short time, and when they come back, they have nowhere to ask for advice when they encounter something they don't understand. Fortunately, Li Fu sent Cheng Yue's set of books, but there are still some things that are not very clear. Now that Cheng Yue is here, how can he let go of such an opportunity? I don't know when next time.

Cheng Yue walked and observed the seedlings while answering their questions. He also grafted a few fruit trees to show them.

These things must be operated in person to understand, otherwise there is always no way to start.

After the process of hands-on teaching, what everyone didn't understand before can finally be integrated.

Cheng Yue also knew that it was rare for him to come here, and he would soak in the ground all day. Teach them how to analyze the soil, how to compost. There are many livestock and poultry on the farm, and Cheng Yue is also responsible for solving the problems encountered in breeding. There are also pruning and grafting of fruit trees, and the simple processing of grain.

Li Tingzhi followed behind, and sighed while studying, it turned out that there was so much knowledge about farming and raising chickens, and he had learned all of this, which was more useful to the country than a talented person. Now he has a new understanding of Cheng Yue's criticism of Confucius.

Talents, it turns out, it has nothing to do with whether they learn the Five Classics and the Four Books, whether they can write poetry and songs.

It wasn't until night that Cheng Yue said goodbye to the reluctant students and returned to Suzhou Mansion with everyone.

As soon as he entered the mansion, several knights under Zhang Gui came to report that the two people Cheng Yue was looking for had arrived one after another and were waiting for Cheng Yue to receive them.

Cheng Yue asked everyone else to rest, went to the flower hall by himself, and asked people to bring them all over.

Soon, a young man in his twenties who was dressed plainly but looked good and had a gentle demeanor walked in first, and when he saw Cheng Yue, he immediately gave a deep salute.

Cheng Yue admired in his heart and smiled: "Zhao Mengfu? ”

Zhao Mengfu's heart was pounding, he heard that Cheng Yue was going to see him at home, and he thought he had heard it wrong. Who is Cheng Yue? Folklore has it that he is a half-human and half-god, and has made a miraculous feat of protecting the country, but he sent someone to pick up him, a little-known boy, to meet here, what is this to do? Is it to reuse yourself? But where did he hear about himself?

At this moment, he finally saw Cheng Yue, and when he heard Cheng Yue speak to him, his heart was even more agitated, and he stepped forward and said: "The student is Zhao Mengfu, who is now working as a farmer at home. It is a great honor to be summoned by the Metropolitan Governor, and it is a great honor to see the Metropolitan Governor today, which is enough to comfort his life. ”
