Wang Ke left, Li turned out, and he came running, followed by two people. The two people behind the pen www.biquge.info are also dusty, and they feel like they are running all the way.

After Jiang Hexing invited the three of them to sit down, he poured a glass of water for each of them, and Li Yuan explained the reason, the two of them had found a sulfur mine, 200 miles west of here.

Jiang Hexing stood up abruptly and walked in front of the two of them to bow deeply. The two knelt down in fright, and they didn't even dare to say it. Jiang Hexing helped the two of them up and still sat down. Jiang Hexing asked: "How do you call the two of you, how do you make this contribution, and what are the requirements for making this great contribution?" ”

A man with a red face said, "My name is Kong Fei", he pointed to the black-faced man next to him and said, "This is my cousin, Kong Yu." ”

"We used to make iron at the Tieguan of Liaodong County, and then we were plundered by Wuhuan, but fortunately, General Li Xiaowu rescued us last year. On the way back, we encountered a mountain, and we found that it looked like an iron mine, and the march was very urgent, so we did not stop, so we had to tell General Li Yuan. General Li Yuan asked me to wait to make a mark, at the beginning of spring this year, the road is feasible, General Li Yuan sent me to investigate quickly, so I went to find out and confirmed that it was a large sulfur mine, and reported back to General Li. Only then did General Li immediately bring us to King He, so that King He could know. ”

Jiang Hexing's mood calmed down, sat in his position, looked at Kong Fei with a smile and continued: "The two of us came across this mine by luck, and I don't dare to take credit, I just hope to solve my worries about showing martial arts." Besides, the small credit is really not worth Mr. Jiang's attention. ”

"Hehe, you're so polite. Small achievements are not rewarded, and great achievements are not established. You are all dealing with iron, I have some drawings here, they are better iron tools, you two can do it, if you can do it well, it is estimated that life will be much better. "Jiang Hexing took out some parchment paper from inside, and there were a lot of drawings in it. The two took it and took a look, they were all farm tools, and many of them had seen it, but there were a lot of changes in their appearance, and there were some that they had never seen.

Jiang Hexing said: "I don't think the farm tools here are too good, these should be a lot better, fast and durable to use, I hope you will come back as soon as possible, find someone, run your own business, set up a big blacksmith shop, specializing in the production of these." I hope that during the spring ploughing, these things of yours can be used by us. ”

The two didn't expect it, and they were overwhelmed by the drawings. Li Ming came over and patted them on the shoulder and said, "This is to provoke you to make a fortune, why don't you thank Mr. Jiang quickly, go back and get busy, and strive to let Xianwu use your iron tools." ”

The two of them quickly stood up and thanked Jiang Hexing, hid the drawings in their clothes, and quickly went back to prepare.

Seeing them leave, Li Ming asked puzzledly: "Hewang, why is this, if they don't do it well, won't it delay spring ploughing?" ”

"Uncle, what would you do if you were them?" Jiang Xingfeng sat on the chair lightly, took a leisurely sip of water, and looked at Li Ming with his eyes.

"It's hard to find such an opportunity to make a fortune, I will find someone to say that Mr. Jiang gave me the drawings and asked me to produce iron tools, borrow money, hire people, buy iron, build iron tools, and make money as soon as possible." Li Ming smiled as he spoke, he understood.

"Uncle, Zhangwu, Chengwu, Xianwu, and Mingwu have each found one, and besides, I don't care what other blacksmith shops create, look at their good things, won't I also fight?" The corners of Jiang Hexing's mouth turned up, as if he had found a free laborer to work for them.

Seeing that Li Ming was very surprised, as if Jiang Hexing was deceiving people, Jiang Hexing continued: "They are serious and attentive, and they are from the background of iron smelting, and they know iron better than ordinary craftsmen, so you don't have to worry about them not making money." Do you wonder why I don't arrange for someone to do it themselves? ”

Li Ming nodded and asked rhetorically, "Isn't this faster?" ”

Jiang Hexing: "Really fast and efficient only private people to do, the initial may be slow and messy, after a long time, do poorly, no one wants." What is done well is naturally recognized by everyone, and it will only get better and better. We will send men to manage and collect taxes, thirty taxes and one. We only have this kind of tax, which is called a single tax. How about you hand over the matter at hand to Zheng San, and be responsible for tax collection in the future? ”

"Okay, what about the sulphur?"

"I'll send someone over to mine the sulfur ore as soon as possible."

The Kong brothers' shop has been opened, after they got the drawings, they quickly found three Liaodong County over, five people partnered, a Kong iron shop appeared on the street of Zhangwu, the façade is not very conspicuous, there is no sign, there are several stoves in the yard, the flame is high. The courtyard was clanging, and there were about eight newly hired workers, who were beating hard under Kong Yu's command. Outside the shop facing the street, there are iron plows, shovels, hoes, hoes, horseshoes and so on. People who came and went looked at the newly opened iron shop, and there were people who were preparing for spring ploughing, and went up to ask, Kong Fei introduced them one by one with a smile on his face, and specifically pointed out that those were drawn by Mr. Jiang himself and sent to him the Kong family's iron shop.

Oh, this is made by the king himself. Xianwu doesn't know the magic of the king, it seems that this year's spring ploughing things need to be stocked here, and a long dragon will be discharged soon. Kong Fei took a look, called two young men, and the three of them sold iron tools together, and in less than half a day, the line was still so long, but his iron shop was already empty. Although Kong Fei was very tired, he felt that it was harder than striking iron inside, and he explained hoarsely in his throat that he would definitely stock up more tomorrow so that everyone could buy it. When the team dispersed, Kong Fei called Kong Yu, and after discussing, he continued to expand production, recruited a few more iron-beaten people, or asked if he could find a few Wuhuan prisoners.

When the Kong brothers were running for their iron shops, the whole earth began to rejuvenate, spring ploughing began, and people began to walk out of the kang and come to the fields to prepare for spring ploughing. Jiang Hexing ordered Zheng Yi and Wu Kui to divide the land as soon as possible after occupying the territory, so as not to delay the spring ploughing.

Spring ploughing is still busy, Jiang Hexing himself also wants a hundred hectares of land, he doesn't do it himself, and hands it over to He Ming. He Ming brought a lot of Wuhuan people, in this big field, ploughing, raking, sowing, Jianghexing also came to see today, Zhao Guang also stood on the ground. School is on vacation, and adults and children are busy in the fields for spring ploughing, and even so, it is rare to see a family from a distance. There is too much land, so it is still difficult to see a few people, Zhao Guang's family also has land, he is also a meritorious person, and he has divided a lot of land, but he has been teaching, and the land will be planted, after all, he can't be busy. Now my wife and youngest daughter are busy with canvas matters, and they don't want to pay attention to the farm work in the field. I came here today to let He Ming finish helping him, Lao He is a good person, and it is estimated that it is not good to refuse him. Lao He finished his work in the field early, and Mr. Jiang did not want to plant the land himself, but to test the field, and to test what kind of rice could be planted here.

Lao He's group of Wuhuan captives are mainly busy, and they are very familiar with horses. Horses have never been done before, they can control the horses very well, the iron plough of the Confucian iron shop is very easy to use, the ploughing is deep and fast, and it is the most suitable for farming here. Those Wuhuan people all had short hair, they didn't have much long hair, they wore canvas trousers, and went into battle shirtless. In the midst of their shouting, the horses ran ahead, and the men followed them with their iron ploughs, and watched them do things, as if they were playing.

A group of Wuhuan people are busy with their own work, there is a group of people are sowing rice seeds, someone is holding a dustpan, inside is a rice seed with roots and shoots, the front is quickly sprinkled, and someone in the back is sprinkled with green ash, covering the rice seed, the green ash is like a burst of green smoke, He Ming shouted loudly to let the green ash be sprinkled lower, to cover the rice seed, the Wuhuan man did not dare to slack off, hurriedly bent down, and sprinkled gently.

Lao He held a wooden sign in his hand, on which were written various place names, and he inserted them into the ground one by one.

After Lao He was busy, Zhao Guang stepped forward to explain his intentions, and Lao He smiled and said: "He Wang has already arranged it, but He Wang will also plant rice on your family's land, and the seeds will come out here." ”

Zhao Guang actually just didn't want to be idle in the field, his experience of being hungry at this time the year before made him have a perverted love for food. He was not willing to waste a grain of grain, and of course he did not want to waste the fields where grain was produced. He heard that rice could not be planted here, so he was not very satisfied with the meaning of planting rice fields, he was afraid that there would be no harvest in a year, and the seeds would be wasted. But now Jiang Hexing is simply using Zhao Guang's land as a test field, and after groaning for a while, Zhao Guang still nodded yes.

Jiang Hexing looked at the situation in the field, saw that the two of them were chatting, and also walked over. As he walked, he asked, "Lao He, how are you busy?" ”

He Ming saw Jiang He walking closer, and tried to salute: "It's been half busy, there are many people I called today, and it is estimated that it will be over in two or three days." ”

Jiang Hexing nodded, turned his head to Zhao Guang and said, "Father-in-law, you don't need to worry, Lao He and I told him a few days ago, after you are busy here, let him go to your side." ”

"But is it okay to grow rice?"

"I think there should be a line, not much at the beginning, it depends on what rice seeds are suitable here, we will harvest less this year, and it may be a bumper harvest in the future."

Zhao Guang knew that he couldn't say no in front of Lao He, so he nodded and said, "You can just look at it." ”

Jiang Hexing arranged this place to He Ming, and he went to other places to see, many people use horses to plow, the efficiency has improved a lot, and the previous planting of 1 acre of land can now be planted 4 to 5 acres, plus it is not intensive farming, the speed can be doubled, so that a person can plant about 300 acres of land in the sowing season, so that the grain can be planted a year, and the food can basically be guaranteed to be worry-free in a few years.

Half a month later, the seedlings poked their heads out of the field one after another, God helped, and the continuous drizzle began to fall, and the seedlings looked particularly energetic in the breeze.

Jiang Hexing took He Ming and others, dressed in hats, and came to the rice field again, most of the rice seedlings did not grow well, half dead, maybe it was too cold here, but there were some paddy fields, the rice seedlings were particularly spiritual, black and green. He Ming was a little disappointed, he didn't expect to plant so much, and it was estimated that only part of it might survive. He looked at Jiang Hexing, Jiang Hexing's eyes were staring at the rice field, with a smile on his face, and he was very happy to see Jiang Hexing. Jiang Hexing also turned his head and looked at He Ming, "Look at where this rice field is, see if there is any more, find some vacant land that has not been planted, replant more as soon as possible, and see the effect in the autumn." Let's go, go back immediately, find someone as soon as possible, find rice seeds, and find plots to replant. ”

Jiang Hexing was busy like this for almost 10 days, and finally saw that the replanted rice had grown seedlings, and then he went back to work on other things with confidence.

Zheng Yi came back, Jiang Hexing asked about the reception, and Zheng Yi said: "It went smoothly together, and there was no obstruction." In the previous period, I was busy dividing land and spring ploughing, but now that spring ploughing is over, I will come back. ”

Jiang Hexing nodded and said, "You have worked hard, what is the local area like?" ”

"There are a lot of fertile fields in the local area, all of which were cultivated by the former husband, and the rest are large forests, grasslands, and I am afraid that the most is swampland, all black soil, very fertile, if the swamp can be turned into fertile land. And the king, that land is good land, but I always feel that something is wrong, but I don't see any clues there. ”

"Oh, is there any news from our spies in Fuyu Wangcheng?"

Zheng Yi frowned, shook his head and said, "There is no news yet, I just feel uneasy, as if my husband is going to do something." And Wang, the reception was too smooth, and we originally thought that they would have some small obstruction actions, but there were none, on the contrary, they were very cooperative. ”

Jiang Hexing knocked lightly on the table, and after a while, he said: "Send someone to Wu Kui to help Wu Kui build a city, and get close to the big river." This city is named Yaowu, and it is half larger than Xianwu to be built, and it can be used as a military city and as a shopping mall. I'll arrange for the construction of the city. When you come back, pay attention to all parties and report anything that is wrong. ”

Jiang Hexing, as before, found a contractor and released the news that Yaowu City was going to be built. Xianwu City is lively again, builders, cement factory owners, brick and tile factory owners, furniture factory owners, they have another opportunity to make a fortune in their eyes, they began to listen to the news, inquire about the plan, find the person in charge, etc., busy and happy, scared the upstarts of Xianwu City to avoid it, lest they let Jiang Hexing know and fall into trouble.

Soon, the Sun Zhong family grabbed the first order, and left with a large team of people on the same day. Then Yang Hong's brother, Yang Yi, grabbed the second order and left with the personnel. The contracts were sent out one by one, the personnel left one by one, and the people in the cement factory left more than half, and it seemed that they were going to build another cement factory in Yaowu, and the brick and tile factory was also half gone, and the furniture factory was almost empty, and even half of the blacksmith shop of the Confucian family was gone.

Xianwucheng was a lot deserted all of a sudden, Jiang Hexing returned home from work, and saw his mother-in-law Zhao Li was also there, as well as his sister-in-law Zhao Qingyang, the two were leisurely drinking water, chatting with Zhao Qingyi about how to protect the fetus. They haven't been here for a long time, maybe their canvas business is too good, and they still call Zhao Qingyi to help at every turn, but fortunately, Jiang Hexing is now the king, otherwise they have to work for them. It seems that today must not be busy, and the two actually came together. Jiang Hexing hurriedly greeted: "How is your mother-in-law lately?" Is the canvas business good? ”

Zhao Li turned his head, his head was full of pearls and green, and he was dazzling. Although long hair is short, the advantage of long hair is that jewelry finally has a "place to use". Zhao Qingyang is also radiant, but although Zhao Qingyang also has a lot of jewelry, the main thing is his youth and beauty, and the jewelry is used for embellishment. And Zhao Li's jewelry is a bit noisy no matter how you look at it, you can only see its preciousness, and it can't show the beauty of people.

After a flash of pearl light, Zhao Li said: "Xiao Jiang, it's not me who said you, but you are also the king, and the palace you see doesn't even have a subordinate." It's all our family Qingyi is busy, she is a person with children, and she is a future prince in her belly. As for me, I've been busy lately, and I don't even have much time to come and see Qingyi, but you shouldn't treat Qingyi like this. ”

Since Zhao Qingyi was pregnant, Jiang Hexing's biggest feeling was that Zhao Qingyi was still Zhao Qingyi, but her mother-in-law was not the mother-in-law, her status had risen sharply, and the king in other people's mouths had become Xiaojiang, fortunately, it was all housework, as long as she didn't ask anything else, Jiang Hexing happily echoed her. Jiang Hexing felt a lot happier every time he thought of Zhao Guang's days.

Jiang Hexing was about to speak, Zhao Qingyi said: "Mother, I'm busy coming over, and besides, my husband said that it is good for the fetus to be more active now." Anyway, there is no heavy work, it is just to walk around more, and it is not good to be idle in space. ”

"Oh, you, you, you know how to speak for him. I have children, and I don't know how to cherish myself. ”

Jiang Hexing saw that this matter would become more and more unclear, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mother-in-law, I will call some people to serve Qingyi tomorrow, so that she can have a good life." ”

"It's long overdue, and we're at ease when we're busy at home, you just don't understand our hearts."

Jiang Hexing hurriedly changed the topic: "Mother-in-law, I heard that your canvas business is doing so well now, and there are a lot of looms, right?" ”

Zhao Li raised his head and said: "That's natural, now we have 50 looms, not only the garment shops in Xianwu City, but now the garment shops in Zhangwu City, Chengwu City and Mingwu City all come to us to buy fabrics." And that Yang Hong, the day before yesterday, said that he would sell our fabrics to Handi, and it seems that 50 looms will not be enough. The clothes made of our cloth are thick, warm in winter, and now spring ploughing is more durable, no matter how you can wear it, we are busy with spring ploughing than in the field, haha. ”

Zhao Qingyang looked at his mother, took a sip of water, and then said, "Brother-in-law, I heard that Yaowu City will be bigger than Xianwu in the future, and there will be more people. We just want to ask, you see that Xianwu City is almost empty in the past two days, and our looms have stopped a lot in the past two days. Should we move there, and when? ”

Jiang Hexing didn't want to get too involved, so he said casually: "It's good for you to decide this yourself, I don't know much about fabrics and clothes." ”

Zhao Li said: "Xiao Jiang, those who build houses, build roads, and burn bricks, which one doesn't use our kind of fabric, they are the most suitable when they work." It's just that Yaowu has just been built, we just want to understand, is it appropriate to go now? ”

Jiang Hexing thought for a while and replied: "Business is made by people, and places with a lot of people are good places to do business." If you want to go, you can go, all our territory, as long as we are in charge, I will ensure the safety of everyone. ”

Zhao Li and Zhao Qingyang were overjoyed, and they didn't stay to eat, and went straight back, saying that they would arrange Yaowu as soon as possible.

Jiang Hexing arranged for He Ming to be his housekeeper, and the other servant matters were handed over to Lao He.
