On the way back to Diezhang Pass, Ye Maoyan and his entourage encountered several groups of hunting teams of grassland tribes who rounded up prey and stocked up the food needed for winter, and in order to avoid extraneous branches, Ye Maoyan made several detours, and as a result, he did not arrive outside Diezhang Pass until the night of August 16, and naturally missed the Mid-Autumn Festival, a big day for garden gatherings.

However, he is not a particularly enthusiastic literati who is interested in vassal elegance, so it doesn't matter.

After dawn, Ye Maoyan took people to go through the customs entry procedures, and after paying the entry fee and inspecting the household registration certificate, the group entered the customs in a mighty way.

Ye Maoyan directly sent two letters of light back to Jinling at the Minxin Business Window of the Guangxin Bureau in Diezhangguan, of course, these two letters will not be sent out until the sun sets tonight at the earliest.

One of the two light letters was addressed by his wife Su Shi, who only mentioned in the letter that Su Shi should leave as soon as possible and bring his daughter Ye Ning to Diezhang City.

In this letter, he briefly explained that he had accidentally discovered a condiment business from the far north, and roughly analyzed the benefits of this business, and then he vaguely stated that he was almost surrounded and annihilated by horse bandits on the grassland, and finally expressed his intention to stay in Diezhang City to develop this business.

As for the letter brought back by the three messengers he sent out before, he didn't mention it at all, because at the speed of the three of them, it would take almost two months to arrive in Jinling, so there was no need to mention it now, if there was no accident in another month and a half, then send a light letter back to the patriarch to explain.

After returning to Diezhang City, Ye Maoyan immediately asked Mao Sihai to take people to the store that sells sanitary ware in Diezhang City and buy a flushing toilet. As for himself, he returned to Yefu, and then used his family's network to begin to analyze the market share, annual sales, and gross profit of the top three flushing toilets in Datang.

While waiting for information feedback, Ye Maoyan sent people to the surrounding cities to buy young and strong slaves from the slave market, Shang Tao needed three hundred slaves in the early stage, and it was said that Diezhang City could meet the needs, but Ye Maoyan did not buy all of them in Diezhang City in order not to attract the attention of the Tang Jinyi Guard.

In addition, Shang Tao meant that the ratio of men and women was one to one, so that these slaves could work and produce in a family unit, so that under the harmony of yin and yang, it was bound to make these slaves more stable.

However, Ye Maoyan felt that the ratio of men to women was too extravagant, and these slaves didn't even need to consider their right to sex, but Shang Tao mentioned that the chili sauce business was very profitable, and he didn't want to make slaves unstable because of too much oppression of slaves, so Ye Maoyan bought slaves according to the ratio of five to one between men and women, so that they could basically meet their needs.

***

After Shang Tao got in touch with the earth, he resumed the days of eating and waiting for death, of course, this is on the surface, in fact, he has begun to actively plan how to plant the problem of finger peppers, he has thought about reclaiming a field to plant, but it is difficult to keep it secret.

In the end, he decided to wait for the beginning of spring and plant in the grass, with half-man-tall weeds being the best cover, and as for the problem that weeds will compete for nutrients in the soil, it can be solved by fertilizing the finger peppers.

After figuring out the joints, Shang Tao began to calculate the various materials needed and the preparations that needed to be made in the early stage.

Seven days later, Mao Sihai sent Shang Tao the first batch of 30 slaves, as well as flushing toilets and a few other supplies.

Shang Tao asked the 30 slaves to build several yurts in the area he had planned for 300 meters long and wide, and then dug a circle of trenches four meters wide and three meters deep around the periphery of the yurts, and inserted spikes made of bamboo at the bottom of the trenches.

In addition, at the four corners of this square moat-like moat, Shang Tao asked Kang Di's men to build four watchtowers, which were guarded 24 hours a day by Kang Di's most central subordinates to monitor the slaves' every move and prevent anyone from escaping.

In the next half a month, Shang Tao had already wised the slaves who had been delivered one after another, and had completed all the preparations before planting the Zhitian pepper in spring.

Ye Maoyan also sent the last batch of supplies needed by the slave monk Shang Tao more than half a month later, and not only that, but he himself also came with the last trip of supplies.

This time, in addition to bringing more than a dozen subordinates, he also brought a female dependent, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, although her appearance was not as good as Li Ling'er and a few of them, but she was also quite a beautiful woman.

After Ye Maoyan got out of the carriage with the beautiful and delicious beauty, he said with a smile: "Nephew Shangxian, guess how many taels of silver I sold for your toilet." ”

"One hundred thousand taels?" Shang Tao said a number conservatively.

"Five hundred thousand taels! I didn't expect it, according to what I said before, you account for seventy percent, there are 350,000 taels of silver in this bearer card, and the password is six eights. Ye Maoyan said and took out a beautifully made copper card from his arms and handed it to Shang Tao, and then said solemnly: "Shang Xian's nephew, you can put it away, this card is anonymous and does not report loss, if you lose or damage the card, Datang Industrial and Commercial Bank will not report the loss of the card to you, even if you remember the card number, it is useless." ”

"Wow, that's it?" Shang Tao took the beautifully crafted copper bank card handed over by Ye Maoyan, and at this moment he couldn't help but secretly speak, he didn't expect that a toilet, which he had used, could be exchanged for 500,000 taels of silver.

"They're just going to make more, you know? Datang's No. 1 sanitary ware workshop, now a year's gross profit has exceeded five million taels of silver, I estimate that when they imitate your kind of toilet, I am afraid that their gross profit will double next year. ”

"This can't be envied, the toilet has no technical content, and people can easily imitate it, so even if we make it ourselves, we can't compete with others, in that case, we can only make wedding dresses for others, and it's better to make a sum of money easily."

"That's right, oh yes, I forgot to introduce it to my nephew." Ye Maoyan said and pulled the girl behind him to his side and said, "This is my little concubine Duo'er." What does Shang Xian's nephew think of my little concubine? ”

"Huh? It's beautiful, hehe. Shang Tao said with some embarrassment.

"Since Shang Gongzi thinks it's beautiful, how about I let Duo'er come to your room to serve you tonight?"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem......" Shang Tao was choked by his own saliva, coughed smoothly, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Uncle Ye, you are laughing, ahem, ahem." ”

"Are you alright? Don't you look down on Duo'er? Ye Maoyan asked suspiciously.

"No, no, there is a way that my friend's wife is welcome, uh...... It's wrong, friends and wives can't be bullied, Uncle Ye should stop making such jokes. ”

"Nephew, I'm not kidding you." As he spoke, Ye Maoyan stepped forward and hugged Shang Tao's shoulders, and whispered sneakily: "Isn't Shang Xian's nephew a little unable to let go?" In that case, I'll let her sneak into your room at night. ”

"Not really." Shang Tao replied embarrassedly.

"That's worried that Konka will be angry? If that's the case, then you can find an excuse to sneak into my room. ”

"Oh, not really."

"Could it be that Shang Xian's nephew is not going to go? If that's the case, then you can change that Li Ling'er for me to play with, hehe. ”

"Stop! What do you think? Shang Tao shook off Ye Maoyan's arm and said angrily: "I warn you, don't worry about my woman, otherwise I will play with you!" ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm just playing with that girl Li, I don't know if you have real feelings, blame me, blame me, don't take it as an example."

"Last time I saw that your eyes were wrong, and you made up a nonsense like your sister, it turns out that you have already had this kind of mind about my Ling'er, I despise you!"

"Virtuous nephew, I really didn't lie to you, Miss Li is really like a sister, when my sister eloped with a poor Xiucai, it was almost Miss Li's age, and more than ten years have passed......"

"Are you trying to tell me that you would have that kind of thought about your own sister?"

"Isn't that what it looks like? She's not really my sister. ”

"I'll just say why Konka's dad likes to run into my room at every turn, that old bastard told me yesterday that he wanted to give me one of his new concubines, it seems that that old bastard also has the same idea as you, no, I have to warn him, grandma's, the men in your world are really perverted!"

Shang Tao said, and walked straight towards Kangdi's yurt.
