Zhao Min arranged Zhang Han's affairs and walked quickly to the county hall in the front hall. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoSince the temporary replacement of Jimo Lingshi, the backyard has been used as Zhao Min's private place, and the front hall has become Meng Hou's office. In Meng Hou's words, this is called making full use of resources.

At this time, there is a lively scene in the lobby. There are a few desks along the side of the lobby, and after each case, there are scribes kneeling and sitting down and writing hard; From time to time, people hurried in and out of the door, and whether they were in or out, they looked the same: holding a chin-length book in their hands, and trotting all the way as if they were carrying the wind under their feet. From time to time, someone in the lobby reported numbers such as "A 47" and "C 326", and then someone put the numbers written on the walls on both sides of the lobby with bamboo chips. Meng Hou sat alone on the top of the lobby, and there was always a small official who handed him the summarized book, and then took it and left after he finished reading and signing, and immediately the next small official stepped forward, and so on.

When Zhao Min stepped into the lobby, he saw this busy scene, except for the scribes who came in and out of him bowed their heads and saluted silently when they passed by him, no one in the entire hall noticed his arrival. Seeing this scene, Zhao Min was also a little embarrassed, tens of thousands of people carried out tuntian, among which the number of people counting, household registration fabrication, land integration and distribution and so on are very tedious work, now that spring ploughing is imminent, naturally need to hurry up. But Zhao Min threw these trivial things to Meng Hou to complete, and at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty about Meng Hou.

Speaking of these scribes, I also want to thank the Xiahou family for their contributions, and after Cheng Bi went into the wilderness, many of his cronies were also arrested or expelled, and there was a shortage of manpower in the house for a while. Fortunately, the Xiahou family stepped forward and sent dozens of children from the family, or various account offices, to temporarily solve the urgent need and allow the major event of Tuntian to be smoothly promoted. This also made Zhao Min sigh, sure enough, the talents are all controlled by the family, as soon as Cheng Bi falls, there is no one available in Jimo County, which has tens of thousands of people, and a second-rate family like the Xiahou family can also come up with dozens of talents at once, and it is even more conceivable if it is a big family that has been passed down for a hundred years.

After a long time, someone found out about Zhao Min's arrival and hurriedly stood up and saluted, which made everyone notice and stopped their work.

Seeing this, Meng Hou knew that Zhao Min must have something important to do when he came to find him at this time, so he coughed and ordered everyone to rest for a while, then waved to Zhao Min, got up and turned into the side hall behind the lobby.

Zhao Min hurriedly followed, and when he entered the side hall, Meng Hou had already ordered someone to make tea. Zhao Min knew that Meng Hou's time was precious, and he didn't waste time, so he said straight to the point: "I plan to set up a workshop to ask Mr. for his opinion." ”

Meng Hou poured a cup of tea for Zhao Min, did not speak, just looked at Zhao Min with inquiring eyes, he knew that Zhao Min should not make unnecessary requests for no reason when he was busiest at work and the most tightly staffed, so he waited for Zhao Min to continue.

Zhao Min continued: "I know that the preparation of spring ploughing is the top priority now, that is, the ink is rich, and the method of tuntian only takes two years, and it can be used by more than 10,000 troops for a year. However, if you use poverty to seek wealth, agriculture is not as good as work, and industry is not as good as business. If you want to make a profit for a few years in the future, you have to let the business develop. Nowadays, we rely on the business network of the Xiahou family, and the sales channels of the goods can reach You, Xu, Yan and Ji, but there is a lack of special products, and the profits of the goods are meager, and it will not last long; Therefore, Min wants to build a workshop and make special products for the needs of the future. ”

Seeing that Meng Hou had no reaction, knowing that the concept of valuing agriculture over commerce in this era was deep-rooted, although Zhao Min was the lord, he could not force his subordinates to carry out the order without their willingness, so he had to continue to say: "There are three things I want to build a workshop. One is the distillery, which uses the secret method of distillation to make secret wine, which is far better than today's wine; Ten catties of grain for a pound of liquor can get up to a thousand dollars, which is ten times more than the price of ten catties of grain! ”

Meng Hou knew that Zhao Min had a recipe for making wine, so he was not surprised when he heard this, but just nodded to indicate that he knew.

Zhao Min can't help it, he knows that Meng Hou is not good at wine, and if he wants to make wine, he will consume a lot of grain, and for Meng Hou, who is in charge of grain production, he will inevitably be suspected of poaching in person, which is also inevitable. So I had to continue: "The second is the fried tea workshop, using the new tea of the year, after frying, drying, rolling and other processes, the obtained is called fried tea, brewed with boiling water, fragrant and mellow, fragrant and pleasant, drinking the teeth and cheeks of the fragrance, and has the effect of prolonging life. If it is promoted, one or two teas may make a profit of thousands of dollars! ”

"Oh?" Meng Hou was a little interested, although it was not enough for him to change his mind immediately and support Zhao Min's plan to build a workshop, but this kind of roasted tea process was unheard of, and it was indeed a bit novel. The habit of drinking tea in this era is not particularly common, it is only popular in the wealthy families of Qingxu Yanyu and other places, and the drinking is to add some condiments to the tea cakes made of raw tea, and drink it after boiling, not to mention the strange taste, and there are some peculiar smells in the mouth after drinking. But the so-called gentlemen like these quiet and elegant things, although Meng Hou calls himself a hermit, he is not exempt from vulgarity, if it is really as Zhao Min described, maybe it can really have a big market.

"The third is the heavenly workshop, the main creation, there are iron workshops and wood workshops, and perhaps other workshops can be added in the future. At present, it mainly manufactures agricultural tools related to farming. As he spoke, Zhao Min took out the original Quyuan plough manufacturing drawings and handed them to Meng Hou. This thing first meets its own needs, and can be used for export after a sufficient amount, although the profit is not as good as brewing and roasting tea, but the audience is wide, but where farmers have demand, in the case of small profits and quick turnover, the profit may not be lower than tea wine. ”

Meng Hou came to his senses when he heard the words "farming-related", took Zhao Min's drawings and examined them carefully, the more he looked at them, the brighter his eyes became, and in the end, he couldn't help but pat his thigh: "Okay!" ”

This person with a high IQ is different, and the usefulness and benefits can be deduced just by looking at the drawings. I saw Meng Hou saluting Zhao Min and said with emotion: "The King of Beihai is really ingenious!" If this is successful, it should be a major event for the benefit of the country and the people! This is a blessing for the country and the people. All the people of the world have thanked the King of Beihai! ”

Although Zhao Min has a thick skin, he is also a little hot at this time. But this drawing can't be said to have fallen from the sky, right? I had to reluctantly be recognized as an inventor. What's more, it is estimated that there will be no shortage of such inventions in the future, so it is not bad to let everyone believe that they are a person with magical invention ability, so as not to cause other unnecessary troubles. At the moment, he said solemnly: "Min has not been good at reading since he was a child, but he has some experience in some strange and pornographic skills, and it is difficult to get into the elegant hall, and he should not be praised by Mr.!" ”

Meng Hou didn't have any interest in continuing to ask, and continued to look at the drawings without raising his head, and said: "Although this tool is ingenious, it is not very difficult to manufacture, and it is difficult to keep it secret when the craftsman builds it. ”

"It's okay, Min thinks about it, and it's safe!" Saying that, Zhao Min took out the decomposed version of the drawings and handed them to Meng Hou, telling him his thoughts one by one, and finally said: "In this way, each branch is built independently, so everyone only knows the details of what they have made, and they can't communicate with each other, and the assembler only knows the assembly technique, not the method of building parts; In this way, if outsiders want to steal imitations, they need to buy off the craftsmen of each branch and assemble them, a total of eight people, which cannot be achieved in a year and a half. When the other party succeeds, there may be improved products coming out, so you can worry about it! ”

Meng Hou took the decomposition drawing, and then thought carefully about the method of dividing the workshop that Zhao Min said, and couldn't help but praise: "The king of Beihai is thoughtful, Hou might as well too!" ”

Zhao Min saw that Meng Hou had agreed to the plan to build the workshop, and said with great joy: "Min only put forward ideas, and he doesn't know anything about the implementation method, so he still needs to work for Mr. to preside over the construction of the workshop!" After speaking, he shook it to the ground and continued to hold the great god.

Meng Hou sighed, although he complained a little about Zhao Min always being the shopkeeper, but on the other hand, he was still a little moved by the trust revealed by Zhao Min's carte blanche to entrust affairs. Immediately returned the salute: "Dare not obey your fate!" ”

After completing the construction of the workshop, Zhao Min was also satisfied, and was about to say goodbye, when Meng Hou suddenly asked: "Has the prince heard of the treasure ship in Jiaozhou Bay that has been rumored recently?" ”

This matter has been rumored recently, Zhao Min also knows a little, it is said that there are fishermen in Jiaozhou Bay who went out fishing at night and found that there is a golden sky on the sea, and later an old man said that the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty once sent a group of ships to the sea to seek the elixir of life, and the ships were full of gold and silver treasures, but the fleet eventually disappeared. But one of them sank in Jiaozhou Bay, but it has never been found. As a result, there are rumors that once the sea is full of gold, it means that the omen treasure ship is about to be born, and the winner will not only be rich in the world, but also know the whereabouts of the other ships in the fleet.

Zhao Min has never been interested in these Shinto Dao, and when he learned about it, he didn't take it to heart, and when he heard Meng Hou mention it, he smiled and said, "Mr. Mo Fei also thinks that the rumors are true?" ”

Seeing Zhao Min's disapproving appearance, Meng Hou opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, just shook his head.

Zhao Min knew that Meng Hou's time was precious, and he didn't want to continue to delay his time, so when he saw that he didn't speak, he immediately took his leave and left.
