Chapter 35 Barrel of Ash

The man first invited them to sit down and drink tea, and when he had poured them tea, he ran to the old man to get his watch; After a while, the old man and the man came together, put the six watches on the table, and let the dream check it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info After reading the watch, Meng nodded from the beginning, and asked Xiao Yahuan to give the silver ticket money bag to Meng Gong to let him pay, thinking that this old man might be the shopkeeper, so he asked the old man: Old shopkeeper, what is the iron bucket outside? Is it yours too?

The shopkeeper replied, "It is ashes, and it is ours; When he dreamed of hearing the ash, the ash was the soil of cement, and he knew this; Shouldn't cement be bagged, but this ash is in barrels? He thought about it, in addition to using iron barrels to fill the ash, there is really no good way to prevent moisture, and the ash may be of great use in the future.

After thinking about it, I asked: Shopkeeper, how do you sell this ash? How much is 1 barrel? The shopkeeper replied: At least 1 tael of silver for 1 barrel, 3 silver dollars for 2 barrels, and 1 barrel is 1 quintal; Dream up and dazed, this year and month of measurement units should be stone buckets to rise two, I'd better go outside to see the barrel, there should be the weight of ash on it.

I thought about it and said, "Shopkeeper, I'll go outside first." Then let Menggong and them wait, and he went outside alone; When he went outside and saw that the barrel was full of shadows, he was relieved that the ash was still imported! There must be a weight marking.

This year, the ash is also imported, and I am dizzy; Dream of Yingwen Dewen, Hungry Wen can not speak well, because when he was studying, he basically had to refer to the relevant dictionaries every day to translate the various advanced weapons materials of these writing countries, so he knew at a glance that the barrel was marked with 100 pounds, and many foreign shells were also measured in pounds, which he was familiar with, 100 pounds was about 90 catties, and the barrel was 100 catties; In addition, he also knew that the current date was 1884 or 1885, because the barrel was marked with a production date of 1884, and it was estimated that it was about one year old.

Dream of calculating while walking back: 1 bucket is 1 quintal, 1 tael of silver 1 bucket of 100 catties, 1 ton of 20 barrels, 10 tons of 200 taels of silver, this is not expensive, now there is so much money without putting it will not make money, it is better to take it out to invest in the construction of something, and it may appreciate in value, get back dozens of tons of ash, it is not bad to build a small wharf of ash in the Weisha River, there are also green bricks and green tiles here, and a few brick houses can be built.

I came from 2016 to 1884 to 1885, more than 130 years, or the Qing Dynasty, which is too long! Whatever he is.

He went back and said to the treasurer, "First ask for four hundred barrels of ashes; The old shopkeeper was taken aback, this is a big business, and hurriedly added tea to Mengqi and said: This young master, I don't have so much here now, I need to notify the master to deploy from Fengtian or Yingkou, I don't know if the young master may wait?

How many are there now? I thought that I had to transfer it from Fengtian or Yingkou, Fengtian is Shenyang, he knows, this is too far, and I have to ask how long it will take to be transferred? The shopkeeper replied: I still have more than 80 barrels here, and it will take about six or seven days from Fengtian to Jilin. Mengqi said: It's okay to wait for seven days, but you can deliver it, and you can add some freight.

The shopkeeper replied: We can deliver the goods near the road, there is a lot of foot power available outside, if it is too far, you have to add some foot money, may I ask the young master, where do you want to deliver this goods? After saying that, I thought: add some shipping? This statement is fresh, this young master is a learned son.

Dream Qi said: The distance may be far away from transporting water to the Weisha River, and I can add more money; When the shopkeeper heard the reed sand river, he thought about it and didn't know where it was? He asked, "Young Master, where is this Weisha River?" The old man really doesn't know where this place is, so please tell me in detail, young master.

He was stunned for a moment, looked at Menggong next to him and the young man from the Toubo faction, and asked them to tell the old shopkeeper. After talking for a long time, the shopkeeper understood that it was there.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper thought to himself: This is too far, if this business is not big enough, and people say that he can add more money, otherwise he really doesn't want to do this business; But after listening, he thought that this young master should be a gold mine, from the Jilin provincial city there are often people to pan for gold, there are many people who go there to dig for gold, he also often hears about it, so he can guess.

After the shopkeeper figured it out, he said: This young master, this place is not close, the water transportation takes about two days, four hundred barrels need several ships, and the foot force is carried in two places, I am afraid that it will cost more silver, if you can hire a small steamer from the Jilin Bureau, one can save time, two can save effort, and three use more silver, I don't know if you can see it, young master?

If you tow a barge boat, you may be transported it in one trip, and on the other side of the Weisha River, you only need to prepare some long logs, put them on the small steamer from the shore, tie them with ropes or nail them together, and lay thick planks to unload the boat; It's just that this Jilin Bureau can hire a small steamer, it should be possible, or the old shopkeeper won't say it.

Thinking of this dream, he said: This method is good, the silver is fine, but can this little steamer be hired? The shopkeeper said: Other families may not be able to hire our family but can, our family owner has helped the Jilin Bureau buy a machine, this little thing can be done, if the young master is willing to use silver, the official family parked at the small steamer at the second wharf, we can also hire it, but it also costs some silver taels, and it may take some time for the boatman to find it.

Dream up and look at the old shopkeeper to offer treasure, no wonder it is called a foreign line, there is really a way, and you can buy a machine, this has to talk about it, if I can also buy some machines, then the use can be greater, but a good mechanic may be a more critical problem, I can't buy the machine all by myself, this is to think about it, but you can consider entrusting parts processing, do not need to buy a machine, do not use a good technician, spend more money to customize it is not bad, now the machine is not easy to get, or forget it for the time being.

This foreign company has a relationship with the official family, too, this is a foreign company, and the business people are generally related to the official family, the official business, the official business, the official business, the official and the business communicate, if you can contact the official family and buy the two small steamers that are not used, it will be better, you can ask. Upgrade: Uncle, can you please help contact the official, I want to buy those two small steamers that are out of service, I don't know if it's possible?

The shopkeeper listened to it and thought, why did he say that he went to buy a small steamer, this is really a young master of a gold mine, he dares to buy a small steamer, and he buys two of them, so how much silver does it cost! However, he immediately asked, which means that he has silver, as long as there is more silver, it is really possible to do it, anyway, the official family does not need to put it on the dock to rust, and he has to send people to maintain it frequently, if this is done, I can also get some commission, and I don't have to hand it over to the master's family......
