Hearing that the people of Meijia Village wanted to cooperate with him, Huang Kejie got up very early and got on his own boat. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info This is the most magnificent big boat in Fork River Village, all green? The wood was polished with tung oil, and the six people swayed, and at full speed it was like flying on water.

The fat man looked at a few waterfowl that had been awakened by the sound of slurry flying out of the mist on the river surface that had not yet dissipated, flapping his wings over the branches overhead, leaving a rustling sound. It is said that it is to sell iron tools, and it is said that there are not enough people in Meijia Village. Since the magic rice seeding, the people of Chahe Village have paid great attention to the actions of this neighbor, and the continuous news has made people overwhelmed, and all kinds of magical things have been made by Mr. Liu's instructions, schools, hospitals, and guards, all of which have very magical effects. If it weren't for their own pressure, quite a few people would even want to sell their houses and land in Chahe Village and move to Meijia Village, how could this happen? !

The boat went very fast, and in the blink of an eye, Meijia Village was already in sight. The small village by the Shiroku River is still the same, and there is no wharf, but the natural stone bank will stop boats. But Mr. Huang knew that on the gentle slopes of the upper reaches of the Shilu River, where the mist could not be seen, Mr. Liu had set up a village where hundreds of people had gathered. Their house has pipes called water and water pipes, so they don't have to carry water or empty the toilet. Their children can read, as long as they hand over a piece of bacon, they can study for a year, and they can quickly write and settle accounts, and measure the acres of land. Their hospital is clean and comfortable, and most injuries are healed quickly.

"I want to move in." The yellow fat man was startled by his sudden thought, looked up, and found a group of people standing by the river, looking towards him. It looks like Mr. Liu and Mei Xianzhuo are in it.

The ship gradually approached, and Huang Fatzi was sure that these people were all here to greet him, not only the two heads of Meijia Village, but also Zhao Shilu, Sun Zhenggang and others, and even Liu Yao's daughter Liu Man. Li Jiangong came out of the crowd, smiled and waved his hands and shouted: "Don't come outside the Huang Yuan, it's okay." Disembark carefully and don't fall. Huang Kejie hurriedly stood up, thanked him, and drove the ship to shake.

Liu Yao's new house surprised Huang Fatzi for a while. Obviously, I can't judge the layout of this house in a familiar way, it doesn't even have exposed pillars and regular yards, the corridor connects the houses, and it's impossible to guess what is behind the door. Everywhere there were neat white walls, and every line was as straight as a pulled thread. The windows on the walls are very large, and in order to prevent mosquitoes, there are curtains with short ropes sewn on the sides of the windows, which look like they will be pulled up and tied tightly at night.

Before he had time to take a closer look, Mei Xianzhuo pulled Huang Kejie to the conference room and sat down. The room was unusually large, with only a large round table, which was a complete tree stump. Huang Kejie was very surprised by the size of this room and the stump. This is a huge span rarely seen in this time and space, supported by hand-built beams and columns made of steel and concrete, which is not easily attainable by ancient buildings made of wood and stone. The stump and the clearly recognizable saw marks on it mean that Meijia Village has such a long and strong saw, which was unimaginable in the era around 1600. This is also part of the reason why Liu Yao deliberately retains the saw marks.

The people in Meijia Village obviously enjoyed Huang Kejie's surprised expression, but they deliberately pretended not to notice, in order not to create embarrassment, Mei Xianzhuo even sent Li Jiangong out: "Jiangong, why hasn't Yu Chaoqin come yet?" Couldn't he hold so many things? You go check it out. ”

Before Li Jiangong walked to the door, Yu Chaoqin's voice sounded outside: "Finally caught up!" Before he could finish speaking, a figure rushed in and put a basket on the table. He was followed by his apprentice, carrying a big saw on his shoulder, and then Qian San, Zhou Liya and others also walked in, all of them picking or carrying baskets and baskets.

Yu Chaoqin wiped his sweat and said to Liu Man: "Teacher Liu, can you please go and get a sweet potato?" This surprised Huang Kejie a lot: Doesn't the Liu family have a servant? Why is the daughter of the Liu family still called a teacher when she is with an adult?

The baskets were full of iron tools, and Yu Chaoqin took them out one by one, including farm tools, kitchen knives, knives and other tools. Each knife is so sharp that it effortlessly cuts a piece as thin as a piece of paper from a sweet potato. Yu Chaoqin also took out an ordinary kitchen knife and cut it on each of his farm tools and knives, after a clanging noise and sparks splashed, the kitchen knife was no longer good, but Yu Chaoqin's iron tools were basically not damaged.

Huang Kejie was very surprised, took a plough and looked at it. Yu Chaoqin leaned over and said, "You are an expert, look at this cutting edge, it is all good steel." ”

"It's Mao Tie in the back." The yellow fat man said with stunned eyes.

"The back is also good steel, how much do you have to buy it?" Yu Chaoqin's eyebrows also stood up.

"I mean, the iron will break, you have to use wrought iron. What if the plough hits the stones? Huang Fat Man explained.

"Huang Yuanwai is indeed an expert. We also struggled when we fought, and the wool iron was brittle and hard. But now we only have one furnace, and we can only make steel, and then we can take the small ploughshares that people have made and make them into ordinary sizes. We can't get wrought iron. "Yu Chaoqin is not partial or selfish when it comes to technology.

"Not yet. We will make our own iron and steel as soon as possible. In Meijia Village, steel will be cheap. In the future, in order to save trouble, our ploughshares may be made of steel in their entirety. Liu Yao added on the side.

Huang Kejie opened his mouth again and was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Don't do this." It's better for you to sell the ingots directly. ”

Liu Yao smiled and didn't speak, took Huang Kejie's shoulder and came to Zhou Liya's basket, and handed over a handful of small wooden chips half a finger width: "Come, taste what we made." ”

Zhou Liya also held a handful of small pieces of wood in his hand, took one and stretched it into a porcelain jar and scooped it up a little, while introducing: "Huang Yuanwai, this is fermented bean curd." After eating, he threw away the wood chips, took out a new one, stretched it out into another porcelain jar and dipped it a little: "This is spicy bean curd." I'm not used to it, but some people like it. Huang Yuanwai can give it a try. ”

Huang Kejie followed Zhou Liya's example and threw away the wood chips he had eaten, feeling very unbearable. You can't make much of this smooth wood chip in a day, right? It's a shame to taste it and throw it away. Thinking about this, I almost couldn't taste it in my mouth. Fortunately, the spicy fermented bean curd stimulated him strongly, and it pulled him back to reality at once.

"It tastes good. I've eaten it in the county. Many people cook with a little spicy. Huang Kejie nodded frequently in appreciation, and skillfully tasted the products of the sauce garden such as soybean sauce, rice wine, and sweet wine. Before he could praise it, he was pulled aside by Qian San, pointed to the woodware in the basket and said, "The wood chips in your hand and the joinery work in this basket are all produced in my workshop." My workshop can also make big things like waterwheels, you know. Not only can I make it, but it's also very cheap, you look at the wood chips in your hand, I can make a basket a day by myself. ”

Huang Kejie didn't speak, and shook his head lightly to show disbelief. Qian San smiled and said, "Don't talk about you, I didn't believe it at first." Later, you can go to my place to see, the water-driven gears can not only drive the lathe, but also do a lot of things, and the machine works much faster than people. ”

"I've heard of that, too. Be sure to check it out later. Huang Kejie couldn't help but speak formally.

"Eye-opening, right? You've seen so much, what's your plan? Li Jiangong squeezed in and said with a grin.

"I haven't finished reading it yet, you see that Sun Zhenggang and Zhao Shilu are sitting firmly in Diaoyutai there, and there must be a lot of good things. And let me open my eyes and make up my mind. Huang Kejie unusually didn't stand up to Li Jiangong, it seems that he was really shocked.

"Lao Mei, you said, if there is another person, or even two or three people, who are also looking at this, and then they all want to sell our things, will it be more beneficial to us?" Liu Yuanyuan watched from afar and stabbed Mei Xianzhuo, who was also silent.

Lao Mei didn't speak, nodded, and shook her head again.

Huang Kejie walked in front of Zhao Shilu and made a gesture. Zhao Shilu is older than most, with gray hair, and is the most respected. Huang Kejie asked respectfully, "Brother Zhao, I don't know if you have anything that opens my eyes?" ”

Zhao Shilu spread his hands and said: "I don't have anything new, it's all old things you know: cement, a house with water and water." ”

"In other words, you can help us build houses, build roads and bridges. You can build a very large house. Huang Kejie reacted quickly and looked up at the wide ceiling.

"Yes. But I haven't had anyone do it this year. I just want you to do it...... Publicize. Zhao Shilu struggled to think of the word.

"To tell you the truth, your house is so good, there are people in our village who want to move to your Meijia Village. If you don't hurry up, I won't be able to keep anyone. Liu Yao noticed that Huang Kejie was very respectful to Zhao Shilu, and he said everything honestly, and turned his head to look at Mei Xianzhuo. Lao Mei smiled and didn't speak.

"I can't conjure people. You know I'm running out of manpower on that embankment site. Zhao Shilu was also very helpless.

"I have a solution, I will give you the labor force of Fork River Village, and you will allocate a batch of people who build houses. But I have one condition, half of the people who build a house in our village must be from our village. Huang Kejie seems to have a plan.

"You want to learn technology, don't you? OK. But I also have conditions, two people for one, I am a master. Zhao Shilu put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly.

Huang Kejie looked at the lines on the teacup, which was a logo surrounded by blades of grass. He looked around at several teacups and noticed that they all had such logos.

"This is the logo of Mr. Liu's house. Their porcelain has this logo on it. Zhao Shilu noticed Huang Kejie's gaze, introduced it, and didn't seem to be in a hurry to talk about business.

"Brother Zhao, you two are too much for one, and I can't take out so many people." Huang Kejie hurriedly returned to the original topic.

"That's a good mark, isn't it? It's Mr. Liu...... designed. Zhao Shilu struggled to think of a new word. To be honest, he doesn't like the word very much, it sounds a bit framing.

"It's good-looking, let's not talk about this. Shall we change one and a half people? "The fat man Huang is a little anxious.

"Two for one, you are allowed to be two into a woman." Zhao Shilu set the final price.

The fat man stretched out his hand to shake Zhao Shilu, wiped his sweat and walked in front of Sun Zhenggang. Lao Sun's things are the most traditional and clear at a glance: dried fish, salted eggs, dried pork, brown sugar, dried sweet potatoes...... He led the old and weak women and children to work in the farmland and Shilugang. Huang Kejie glanced over these things and laughed: "Brother Sun, these things of yours are different from them, it's not unusual at all, haha." ”

Sun Zhenggang bit a piece of wood, didn't raise his eyelids, and said: "Things are not unusual, but the price is rare." Sun Qiaoqiao lowered her head and took out a piece of paper from her purse and handed it over. Huang Kejie smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother, we can't read." ”

Sun Qiaoqiao laughed and hurriedly covered her mouth to introduce the price. After listening to two or three prices, Huang Kejie's mouth couldn't close again.

"These things are transported to the county seat, and half of the journey can be taken by water, and it is a smooth river." Liu Yao walked over and patted the shoulder of the fat yellow man who was still in a trance, and said slowly.

"Yes. But I've heard that you're asking me to bring in food, and that's against the water. Huang Kejie frowned and said embarrassedly.

"You can go against the wind. What I give you is smooth, I will give you when you want it. The food you gave me will be good when the wind will come, and when will you transport it? Liu Yao obviously prepared a solution early.

Huang Kejie nodded, found a chair and sat down, and said, "Everything is good, and the price is good." I think there are some things that you can sell a little more expensive, like those in the sauce garden, which are not necessary every day, and how much is a bit showy, so sell them more expensively, and it may be easier to sell. I sell more expensive, and this one can also collect more expensive from you. "Huang Fatzi is the first to talk about business. Zhou Liya heard this, and hurriedly handed over a cup of tea.

The fat man raised the teacup and drank it all, and said: "I will prepare a dozen people, all capable guys, to go to the county seat and Huangzhuang in the north to open a shop, specializing in selling your things." The first time I bought the goods, you said that you wanted to buy 500 taels, I came more, and I bought as many as I wanted. I will inform you of the replenishment later. I won't say much else, the goods don't go to the second house, and the money and goods from both sides will be paid in person. ”

Liu Yao looked at Mei Xianzhuo and Li Jiangong, these two knew more about trade. Li Jiangong no longer joked with Huang Fatzi, picked up the teapot and filled the cup with water, and said, "I don't have to worry about the county and Huangzhuang at all, it's just, can you go to Qiongzhou Mansion and Guangzhou Mansion?" ”

Huang Fatzi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Yes, such a good thing should go to Qiongzhou and Guangzhou." Not yet, I have to wait for a year and a half to sell it, so I can make arrangements, and I have to prepare the manpower and funds to open the store. But now I can try to find a few merchants to resell your goods. ”

Liu Yao and Mei Xianzhuo glanced at each other and said, "Huang Yuanwai, you and I have been dating for a long time, but we haven't eaten together yet, or do you want to have a light meal at my house today and conspire to get drunk?" ”

"I can't ask for it! I have one more request, I don't know whether to say it or not. The fat man stood up and said.

"Speak! As long as it can be done, it will definitely be done. Mei Xianzhuo replied loudly.

"I want to ask Mr. Xiao Liu to help me draw one, uh, design one, our family's logo."

"Haha! Huang Yuanwai is really elegant. Liu Yao happily patted the yellow fat man on the shoulder, and then everyone was looking forward to a "good!" When he turned back to his daughter and said, "Xiaoman, can you design a logo for Huang Yuanwai?" ”

Hearing Liu Man answer neatly, everyone became happy again. Inexplicably, I feel that there is something wrong with this, and it seems to make some sense.
