Chapter 693: More Money and Good Soldiers
readx;?“ At the beginning of next month, the new rice will be launched, and every business will buy it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info our firm will buy 30,000 stones. Qu Gao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
"Yes, yes!" Fuji San seemed to suddenly realize, and hurriedly smiled, "At the beginning of next month, our business will also be stocked." Actually, Fuji San also thought of this matter, but because Song Qi gave him a deadline of seven days, he didn't mention it. After all, he is a newly appointed shopkeeper, and he does not dare to make too many decisions about many things. Qu Gaozhi is different, he has been doing Yukang semicolon for many years, not only familiar with the market, but also sophisticated.
The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. If the grain and grass are not solved, even if Song Qi is in a hurry, he can only be in a hurry. Song Qi knew that there was no other way at the moment, and he couldn't do it quickly, so he could only wait patiently. Besides, it will take at least fifteen days to transfer troops and horses. He groaned a little, and nodded helplessly to Qu Gao Nao and Fuji San: "Then I will give you fourteen days, and each of them will raise 45,000 stone of grain and rice and 90,000 quintals of forage!" ”
"Okay!" Qu Gaozhi immediately agreed. He had just been added, so he was happy to do a big thing for Song Qi, only in this way could he enjoy the extra money that Song Qi had given him with peace of mind.
"No problem!" Fujisan stood up and readily agreed. Originally, he promised Song Qi that he would raise 50,000 stones within seven days, but now that the time has been extended by seven days, the task has been lightened, and there is no problem. As for 90,000 quintals of forage, it's not a problem.
After the grain and rice were solved, Song Qi was in a relaxed mood, so he had lunch at the Yukang branch and talked to the two shopkeepers about the double-entry bookkeeping method at the dinner table. The two didn't understand what double-entry bookkeeping was, but after Song Qi's detailed explanation, they immediately felt that the double-entry bookkeeping method was clear at a glance, which was convenient for both bookkeeping and auditing, and promised to adopt double-entry bookkeeping as soon as possible.
Song Qi left the Yukang branch very satisfied, and returned to the Mingzhu compound with Fu Ling, Rao Xiyan and others.
At this time, Zhan Dazhao also came back and was waiting for tea in Dexian Temple.
"Brother Zhan, how is the transfer of troops arranged?" Song Qi hurriedly stepped into the hall and asked Zhan Dazhao urgently.
"Chongshilang has something to do today, and he is not in the military department." Zhan Dazhao stood up and shook his head apologetically.
"He's not going to be pretending to be sick like Captain Monta, is he?" Song Qi was a little anxious when he heard this, but he didn't blame Zhan Dazhao at all, and tried his best to say in an extremely calm tone.
"No, it won't. Chongshilang is a young man of his uncle, not a member of Montene's way. Zhan Dazhao smiled and comforted, "Brother Song, don't worry, the matter of transferring troops will be implemented within three days, and 100,000 soldiers will be handed over to you within fifteen days." ”
Song Qi listened, put his heart down, and in turn comforted Zhan Dazhao and said: "Brother Zhan, don't worry, on my side, it will take ten days and half a month for grain and grass to raise." ”
Talking about the matter of soldiers and horses, Zhan Dazhao began to turn the topic to grain and grass, looked at Song Qi with suspicion, and asked in disbelief: "Can you really raise 90,000 stone grain and rice in ten days and half a month?" ”
Song Qi smiled indifferently and said in a firm tone: "Of course it's true." ”
"Normally, it takes at least two months to raise food for 100,000 soldiers." Zhan Dazhao couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised Song Qi, "You completed it in a quarter of the time, you are so good!" If you are in charge of our Liang State Army, then the speed of the march will inevitably be greatly accelerated. ”
"Brother Zhan has won the prize!" Song Qi explained with a smile, "I have two semicolons in Guangding, and each semicolon stores a certain amount of grain and rice for a long time, and at the end of the month, they will also go to buy a large amount of grain, so they can raise 90,000 stone of grain and rice within twelve days." ”
"I see!" Zhan Dazhao suddenly realized, laughed and quipped, "I only heard that more money is good, but I didn't expect that more money can be good soldiers!" ”
"Haha~" Song Qi was amused, laughed, and after a while, he suddenly remembered something, and asked thoughtfully: "Brother Zhan, do you know where there is an armory workshop?" ”
"Armory?" Zhan Dazhao nodded and replied, and looked at Song Qi with confusion, and asked seriously, "What weapon do you want to build?" ”
"I want to rebuild a repeater." Song Qi raised his hand and said solemnly.
"Repeater? I don't think there is any craftsman in the armory workshop who can do it. Zhan Dazhao shook his head and said.
"It doesn't matter. I just want to borrow the armory to use it, and I'll do it myself. Song Qi waved his hand nonchalantly and explained.
"Oh." Zhan Dazhao touched his chin and thought about it, and introduced with a smile, "The Ministry of War has three armories in Guangding: Ouyeel Armory, Ganjiang Armory, and Moxie Armory. The head of the Mo Evil Weapon Workshop is an old subordinate of his uncle, and he is easier to talk to. If you want to borrow the armory workshop to use it, I'm afraid only the Mo Evil Armory Workshop can cooperate. ”
"That's great! Then let's go to the Mo Evil Weapon Workshop. Song Qi said excitedly.
Zhan Dazhao looked up at the sky, at this time the sun had already set in the west, the time was about three quarters of Shen, he shook his head, and suggested: "It's too late today, when we pass, I'm afraid the armory workshop has been closed." Let's go back tomorrow morning. ”
"Okay!" Song Qi agreed. He wanted to upgrade the repeater, make a new repeater with gold, and craft a batch of arrows with silver. The gold was all in his ring, and he didn't want to expose the secret of the ring in front of Zhan Dazhao.
Early the next morning, Song Qi took out a hundred gold bricks from the ring, and at the same time took out two thousand silver bricks from the Mingzhu compound, and asked Mao Yong to prepare a carriage for the year, put these bricks in the carriage, let a family member drive, and drove out of the Mingzhu compound in a radial way, and drove towards the Moxie Weapons Workshop located on Mogan Street.
Zhan Dazhao and his entourage were already waiting at the door of the armory, and beside him stood a middle-aged man in his forties, with a majestic figure, but a scar more than an inch long on his face. Without that scar, the man would have been handsome, but the scar ruined the beauty and made him look rather vicious.
"Brother Zhan, I've kept you waiting!" Song Qi turned over and dismounted, threw the reins of the horse to a servant, and walked quickly towards Zhan Dazhao.
"I've just arrived, too." Zhan Dazhao smiled at Song Qi, raised his hand and pointed at the scar-faced man beside him, "This is Mo Wufeng, the head of the Mo Evil Weapons Workshop." ”
"I've seen Song Horses!" Mo Wufeng hurriedly bowed to Song Qi with a smile on his face.
"Don't be polite!" Song Qi smiled and waved his hand, "I still need your help." ”
"Borrow the armory, Zhan Ma has already told me, no problem!" Mo Wufeng smiled heartily.
"Thank you, Master Mo!" Song Qi gave Mo Wufeng a fist salute and expressed his gratitude, "I need a separate room to build a repeater." ”
"No problem!" Mo Wufeng smiled, raised his hand and stretched out into the armory, bent down and made a gesture of please, "Song Concubine, please!" Show the horses please! ”
"Let's go in and work!" Zhan Dazhao raised his hand and patted Song Qi on the shoulder, and the two walked side by side in the compound of the Armory Workshop.
Mo Wufeng followed. Mao Yongzhan Nian and others escorted the carriage into the compound. (To be continued.) )
