After more than a month of construction, the brewing workshop, paper mill, and printing workshop have been completed, and now Yang Lizheng is leading some slaves to install the equipment purchased by Li Su, among these slaves and maids, many of them have worked in the workshop in Chang'an, so they are also very skilled in their work, and they don't have to worry about anything.

With the construction of these workshops, Li Su plans to put the brewery on hold for a while, and when the first rice season comes down next year, it will be carried out from brewing to distillation to produce regular liquor, rather than simple processing, so that it can really make really good liquor.

Everything is in full swing and proceeding in an orderly manner, Li Su was in a good mood, and was about to leave the Nanhe, but when he raised his eyes, he saw the north, and a sailboat was coming along the Nanhe River towards the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce.

Seeing the sailboat, Jin Daqian smiled and said, "Your Highness, it may be that Tong Nian has arrived!" ”

The corners of Li Su's mouth rose, counting the days, it should also be Tong Nian's guy, last time, when Li Su asked Tong Nian to transport coal to Yizhou, Jin Daqian has been in contact with him by letter, in order to transport more coal at one time, Tong Nian used water transportation, after his calculations, the volume of goods transported by waterway is much larger than that of 6 transport, but the cost is relatively low, and the carriage can only load a limited amount of coal, and the horse has to consume a lot of forage, and the sailboat is different, the size is large, and the coal is loaded. The only downside is that it takes a little more time to swim against the current.

Whether it is Tong Nian, you will know later, Li Su simply stood on the dock with Jin Daqian and waited, only to see the sailboat in the distance getting bigger and bigger in the field of vision of the two, and the busy boatman was also faintly visible, and after a while, the boat arrived at the dock, and then the whole picture of the ship appeared in Li Su's eyes, which made him gasp, the volume of this ship is really not small, but the length is fifty meters, the whole body is gray-brown, and the width is about ten meters, which can be regarded as a behemoth.

Although he understood that the shipbuilding industry was already quite advanced during the Tang Dynasty, he really didn't expect to be able to build such a large sailing ship.

The sailboat docked at the dock, a plank was lowered along the hull, and then a chubby, cyan robed man walked down, not Tong Nian.

After receiving Li Su's letter, he organized people to mine coal mines, when in Chang'an, Jin Daqian has bought a large number of coal mines according to Li Su's instructions, Tong Nian mining is a digging and a quasi, and basically open-pit coal, do not need to spend much effort not to say, the coal quality is also first-class good, mining coal at the same time, he began to organize water transportation, Li Su gave him the task of the chamber of commerce shopkeeper is to sell goods to any place in the world, he naturally has no shortage of transportation teams in his hands, in addition to the formation of carriages of 6 road transportation, He also set up a fleet of water transport ships and bought dozens of sailing ships at a great price, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"Your Highness!" Seeing Li Su, Tong Nian hurriedly ran down, and almost fell in a hurry, which made Jin Daqian laugh.

When acquaintances met, Li Su was also happy, and held him and said, "It's hard work, I let you personally escort you over so far." ”

"For the sake of His Royal Highness, this bit of suffering is nothing to the old slave, mainly because it is the first time to transport goods to Yizhou, and I also want to take them to recognize the way, so as not to have to get a bad trip, and the future transportation will have to rely on themselves." As Tong Nian spoke, a young man in his twenties wearing a red round-necked robe got off the boat, hurriedly walked up to Li Su, bowed down and said, "See Your Highness!" ”

"What is this?" Li Su looked at the young man, this young man was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but between his eyebrows and eyes he was a little similar to Tong Nian, his long shirt reached the ground, his figure was long, and he was very elegant.

Tong Nian glanced at the young man, some hatred of iron is not steel, sighed, and said: "Your Highness, this is the dog Tong Yu, the old slave has two daughters and a son, he is the youngest, his two sisters have already married, so he is still at home, the old slave's original intention is to let him study and gain fame, but he is actually studying some tricks and tricks, and the family is jumping, this time I brought him to beg His Highness to accept him, and want him to experience in Yizhou and sharpen his temperament."

Tricks? The word Tong Nian made Li Su slightly interested in this young man, this word was a purely derogatory term in ancient times, referring to bizarre and useless memories and products, but in modern times it is actually the Ming family.

"Yizhou is short of useful talents, so let him stay!"

Li Yu agreed, not only Tong Nian was happy, Tong Yu was also excited, although his son was not successful, but as a father, Tong Nian still hoped that his son would have a good future, and following Li Yu was undoubtedly a good opportunity for Tong Yu, and Tong Yu was excited that he had always thought that Li Su and he were like-minded people, because the strange things that Li Su sold were just right for his spleen and stomach.

Tong Yu's matter was omitted, Li Su simply chatted with Tong Nian about Chang'an on the dock, and the boatmen in Chang'an also began to unload baskets of coal at this time.

"Washing?" Before he could say a few words, Tong Nian said a problem that Chang'an is currently facing, Li Su left Chang'an, and the supply of washing water was naturally cut off, and the washing water left in the palace could last for half a month at most, and it would be cut off in the future.

This is a problem, Li Su really didn't think of this when he left Chang'an, he said: "This is simple, in the future, you let the cargo ship come to Yizhou once every three months to pull a batch of washing water back, this time you will stay in Yizhou for a while longer, I will find a way to bring you some back!" This thing can't be broken, it's broken, I don't know how many people are going to kill him in Yizhou to trouble him.

Having solved the problem of washing water, Li Su asked, "How is the business in Chang'an?" No one is looking for trouble, right? ”

"When His Royal Highness first left, it was true that some officials came to the door to threaten us, and then I went to His Royal Highness King Wu, he reprimanded those officials fiercely, and impeached those officials in the court, and no one will come to trouble the Tang Chamber of Commerce in the future!" Tong Nian replied.

Li Su nodded, it seems that the protection money given to Li Ke was not given in vain, when he was in Chang'an, the Dou family was extorted 500,000 yuan by an official in the name of disaster relief, and then he found a backer in anger.

After speaking, Tong Nian instructed the servant on his side, and the servant returned to the ship and took an account book and handed it to Tong Nian after a while, Tong Nian said: "Your Highness, this is the profit of the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce in the past few months after you left, according to His Highness's orders, I organized a caravan to transport the goods to the south, especially in Yangzhou, that place is quite rich, and the goods can be said to be in short supply, in the past two or three months, we have earned two million yuan in Yangzhou alone, and the Chamber of Commerce also sells goods specifically for those foreign business travelers, From them we make more money. ”

Li Su flipped through the account book and handed it to Tong Nian, when he was in Chang'an, Tong Nian was willing to enter the house as a slave, as the so-called employment is not suspicious and suspicious, and he doesn't need to be a chicken belly.
