Chapter Seventy-One: The New Pharmaceutical Factory
After walking on the Yellow River for two days, and from Bohai County to Phoenix Island for six days, for a total of eight days, they arrived at Phoenix Island. When the rest of the boats were disembarked, the www.biquge.info of the river line got off the boat early, and the shore affairs were handed over to Ma Yuan. He went directly to Zhang Kai's office to inquire about the situation of the refugees.
Zhang Kai looked at Jiang Hexing and smiled: "Brother only cares about refugees, doesn't he care about family affairs?" ”
Jiang Hexing said: "Is there news from Zhao Qingyi's side?" ”
Zhang Kai said: "Haha, it seems that you still have younger brothers and sisters in your heart." Great joy, on the third day after Li Xiaowen arranged for the fleet to leave, your second son was born. Xiaowen sent people to Anwu as soon as possible, and sent the news here from Anwu. Zhang Meng, this kid is also a father, and Zhao Qingyang is about 10 days later than his sister. But I was busy a few days ago, and I saw that everything was normal, so I didn't tell you the news. Now that I'm back, I'm sure I'll tell you right away. ”
After speaking, he laughed, and Jiang Hexing couldn't help but be overjoyed. Ma sent an order, and Ma Yuan was completely responsible for the follow-up matters at the port, and Zhang Meng's special operations group quickly returned to Phoenix Island for a vacation and rest.
Zhang Kai asked again: "Brother, what is the name of the second son?" ”
Jiang Hexing thought for a while and said: "I already have two sons, and 200,000 people have come to Pingzhou at once, and they all say that the Venerable Master Ding Xingwang is called Jiang Anwang?" ”
Zhang Kai said: "Okay, good, prosperous, prosperous, prosperous." ”
In the evening, the two brothers called for good wine and food, and celebrated a lot, but they only drank in the dark, and they didn't know who was going to do it.
The next day, Jiang Hexing woke up and asked Zhang Kai about his placement. Zhang Kai said that a lot of houses were built here, but it was still not enough, and then he bought canvas and made a lot of tents, and the canvas was Zhao Qingyang's factory here, and Zhao Qingyang couldn't manage it now, Zhang Kai was taking care of it, so he had to settle it for her at the usual price.
The rivers are smiling, it is really fertile water that does not flow into the fields of outsiders. A helpless choice, but it is a necessity of the moment. Now to ensure that the refugees on Phoenix Island do not have to worry about eating and drinking, Li Xiaowen also sent a lot of doctors, and the young people have already entered the school, and they have all gone to school at this time. Some of the refugees also work with businessmen from Pingzhou to earn some spare money. Among the refugees were many merchants, as well as many craftsmen and other craftsmen. Some have been called away by merchants from Anwu and merchants from Pingwu. The most powerful one is Li Bin, who came here relatively early and has already made a lot of money. There are also average, but they will not be hungry, now they are all divided according to the head of the food, rice, flour and salt are not eaten by everyone, and each person is also given some cloth. However, some people actually exchanged things for wine and drank, and then they didn't have anything to eat, and then Zhang Kai had to stipulate that now rice, flour and salt have to be distributed, and they are not allowed to trade, and they would rather lose it if you can't eat it, and you are not allowed to exchange it with others.
Jiang Hexing couldn't smile bitterly when he heard it, everyone has it, this is just a normal phenomenon. However, they can generally settle down, Jiang Hexing can see that Zhang Kai arranged here, so he explained this place to Zhang Kai, and Ma Yuan was responsible for the transportation of refugees to Pingzhou after the year. He took a boat to Ma Han, and Ma Han took a carriage back to Xianwu City by land, and he wanted to see his second son as soon as possible.
A few days later, when the river was still on its way to Xianwu, the matter of the port of Ma Yuan was basically completed. He breathed a sigh of relief, and it was finally almost done. After the year, these people will be transferred to Anwu, Changchun, Xia Capital and other places. I will arrange it when I go back to Anwu in a few days, and now I want to meet Zhang Kai first, and then I want to see how Li Bin is doing.
When I met Zhang Kai, I knew that this Li Bin, Zhang Kai actually knew him, and now he lives in Phoenix City. Ma Yuan was taken aback and said, "Are there so many places in Phoenix?" ”
Zhang Kai shook his head and said: "He bought it himself, many of the houses here are lived by businessmen who come here in winter, and there is room for them." He made a lot of money in less than a month, which is not like buying a house here 10 days ago, and hearing that he is going to do business here. ”
It seems that Zhang Kai only heard about it, and Ma Yuan was even more curious, and after handing over to Zhang Kai, he left the office and went to Li Bin's house. Li Bin is now a celebrity in Phoenix, and if you inquire casually, someone will tell Ma Yuan. His home was not far from Zhang Kai's office, and after a while, Ma Yuan came to the door.
It is still a big yard, with a towering gate in the middle of the yard and two stone lions at the gate, which is very magnificent. The black wooden door was open, and in front of the door stood two black-clad men, both with short hair. Ma Yuan was just about to open his mouth, and one of his subordinates said: "You are the general of Baima County who saved our whole family, right?" I'll go and report to the head of the house right away. ”
Before Ma Yuan could nod yes, he saw the man run in with a smoke. Ma Yuan stood at the door and waited for a while, looking at the courtyard, the blue brick paving, leading to the hall, the low trees and flowers on both sides, the trees were already bare, and the flowers and plants were not green. There is also a pond on the right, and the pond is full of dead branches and lotuses.
Ma Yuan was looking, only to see two people running out of the hall, the one running in front was Li Bin, and the one in the back was the black-clothed man in the concierge.
Li Bin was smiling, and his eyes looked straight at Ma Yuan. He has changed into the common deerskin boots in Pingzhou, wearing a black mink coat, short hair and no hat, no different from the giant merchants in Pingzhou.
Li Bin had already arrived in front of Ma Yuan, panting and standing still, his eyes smiling into a slit. Before Ma Yuan could speak, he only heard a plop, Li Bin knelt on the ground, looked at Ma Yuan and said, "Engong, I can look forward to you." Bow down to me first, and then our whole family will worship you. ”
Ma Yuan was taken aback, and hurriedly picked up Li Bin and said: "I can't help it, I can't help it, I am also responsible and dutiful, and I don't deserve such a big gift from Mr. Li." ”
Li Bin stood up, pulled the horse and said, "The general enters the house, enters the house." ”
Ma Yuan followed Li Bin to the hall, and asked as he walked: "Mr. Li, you have good skills, and you have done such a family business in a short period of time." ”
Li Bin said with a smile: "In terms of ability, I don't dare to compare with the people of Pingzhou." In a short period of time, countless people have been rescued from the sea of suffering, mobilized people and horses quickly, and raised more food and grass, which is beyond my imagination. This kind of ability, people who want to leave Pingzhou, it is difficult for others to do it. ”
Ma Yuan said: "Pingzhou just happened to have a lot of food, and the king couldn't bear too many people to suffer in the bitter sea, so he sent me and others to relieve the people from hanging." ”
Li Bin said respectfully: "The general is polite, I see that the people of Pingzhou are talking about you, the general, you are young, you are already in a high position, you are not only in charge of the army and horses, but also manage civil affairs, and the king is extremely trusted." To tell you the truth, General, as soon as you came back, I went to the docks to look for you. Seeing that you are very busy, dispatching manpower and arranging carriages and horses, I am admired, emotional, and happy. admired the general's young age and showed a handsome talent; I feel that I trust the king, and the king's trust in you, I don't think it's under other generals; I'm glad that it happened to be the general who saved me. ”
Li Bin said, laughing.
Ma Yuan said: "The matter within the scope of the matter, and the king sees that I am willing to do things with my heart." The other generals also trust the same, and Mr. Li should no longer talk nonsense about this matter. ”
Ma Yuan said, his face becoming serious.
Li Bin saw that Ma Yuan's face had changed, and he didn't say anything about it, he had already arrived in the hall, and the extremely luxurious hall was all Pingzhou-style furniture. The two of them sat down.
Ma Yuan asked, "Mr. Li, what a big business you do in Phoenix?" How do you do such a thing in such a short period of time? I'm curious, can I tell me? ”
Li Bin said: "Engong has an inquiry, how can I hide it at all." The boat I came to was crowded with so many people that there were constant doctors who came to check on everyone. I talked to them about medicine in Pingzhou, because my family also does medicine and knows something about medicine. Therefore, I know that the medicine in Pingzhou is very different from that of my Han region, which is made one by one, and there are not many pharmaceutical raw materials used, and there are not many finished medicines. Here in Pingzhou, according to different things, I heard that there is a special pharmaceutical factory, and skilled craftsmen are invited to work under the guidance of pharmacists. Medicines are made quickly and abundantly.
There was a big war in Dongjun and other places, and I think there must be a shortage of medicine, and the imperial court must be mobilized everywhere. Medicine is usually limited and will be lacking everywhere, and the price will inevitably rise sharply. After I arrived in Phoenix, I inquired about the medicine sold there, and the grain here is not allowed to be sold in order to transport refugees, and the ban will be lifted only after you come back. Drugs are not controlled, so I used all my family wealth to buy two small sailing boats, bought some medicines, one to Bohai County, the other to Qingzhou, and then sold them, and then made a lot of money, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning, haha. ”
Ma Yuan had heard that gold was priceless and medicine was priceless, especially when medicine was urgently needed. That's right, there is no need to transport the medicine to Chang'an or Luoyang, and it is the same to Qingzhou, the distance is close. This Li Bin has a bit of vision, no wonder he can make so much money. Transporting a shipload of medicine is better than 10 ships of grain, whether it is Qingzhou or Bohai, the relative order is better. Once Chang'an Luoyang is in chaos, many things can't be shipped, and some things in Qingzhou Bohai naturally increase in price.
Ma Yuan admired and asked, "Isn't the ship requisitioned?" ”
Li Bin said: "Xianwu's requisition, but Anwu's ships are very many now, your father-in-law can make a lot of money this time, and many people say that he can't let go of the money in his family." ”
Ma Yuan had also done business before, but he didn't value money too much. I don't understand that many businessmen have always wanted to make money, and they always feel that what is the use of asking for so much money. However, he knew that Pingzhou had always valued business, and he was not suitable for anything to say, so he was faintly worried.
Ma Yuan asked Li Bin what his plans were, and Li Bin said that he wanted to set up a pharmaceutical factory in Phoenix, so that it would be convenient to transport raw materials from all over the world in the future.
Ma Yuan wanted to leave after a simple chat, how could Li Bin let him go, he had to invite him to drink, in order to thank him for saving his life, Ma Yuan couldn't shirk it, so he had to drink here with peace of mind.
The banquet was extremely sumptuous, even more sumptuous than what Zhang Kai had invited before, and it seemed that Li Bin had put a lot of thought into it. Li Bin's subordinates, a few of them came to accompany him, and each of them at the banquet was a benefactor, and Ma Yuan was a little restless, but he didn't want to sweep Li Bin's face. was eating lively, and I heard someone shouting at the door, and Ma Yuan's voice was a little familiar. Just about to stand up, he was pressed to a chair by Li Bin, and Li Bin went out by himself.
