Chapter Ninety-Seven: The First Pot of Gold
Even if it is saved, the soldiers and refugees in Beidi County need to consume 20,000 catties of grain and rice every day, and 10,000 stone of grain and rice is only enough to last for two months, plus the 8,000 stones that came from the black before, it is enough for three months.
Jia Rong looked at Mi Zhu beside him and said: "Brother Zizhong has worked hard, let's rest early, the younger brother still has some things to deal with, just mention what needs Brother Zizhong." ”
Leading the soldiers to patrol around the city, looking at the smiles on the thin faces of the people, Jia Rong returned to his residence satisfied, and now he can finally relax after a few days of running, I wanted to take a nap, but I didn't expect to sleep directly on the second day.
After a simple breakfast, he walked around the city and returned to Taishou Mansion, and now Jia Rong's popular support rate in Beidi County is very high, and he can hear the enthusiastic cheers of the people wherever he goes.
"If Brother Zizhong goes to the battlefield, he will definitely be a tiger general." Jia Rong said to Mi Zhu, who had just finished practicing martial arts in the courtyard.
Mi Zhu's skills are indeed not bad, his steps are steady, his arms shake hard, and the spear flowers are stirring, and it is not difficult to see the good points of this set of marksmanship from his moves.
After listening to Jia Rong's praise, Mi Zhu was also a little proud, and said with a smile: "I can't get into the hall of elegance, so Zhiyuan laughs." ”
After a few idle words, Jia Rong pulled the topic to the food problem in Beidi County, "Brother Zizhong brought Wanshi grain this time, which can only solve the grain of Beidi County for two months, when will Brother Zizhong be able to transport grain and grass again?" ”
A look of embarrassment flashed on Mi Zhu's face, "Zhiyuan doesn't know that the road is difficult today, and the night is raging in the Han Dynasty, and I brought a thousand private soldiers this time and still can't deter those outlaws." ”
Jia Rong frowned, and said with a smile: "Brother Zizhong, what's so difficult about this, I can send the soldiers in the city to follow all the way, and forgive those young people who don't dare to make trouble again." ”
Mi Zhu was overjoyed, "Is this true?" ”
Jia Rong nodded affirmatively, and then said, "However, there are also conditions for sending the sergeants of Beidi County to follow. ”
"The daily expenses, food and lodging of these sergeants are the responsibility of Brother Zizhong, and they also have to give the Taishou Mansion an additional employment fee." Jia Rong continued.
Mi Zhu readily agreed, this time a thousand soldiers were with him, and the cost of the road was a lot, and how could the soldiers be compared with the tigers and wolves in Beidi County.
After some conversation, the two sides agreed on the price, and they were all happy, Jia Rong easily solved the problem of eating a thousand soldiers, and Mi Zhu promised to bring in more grain, rice and ten thousand stones.
A warlike horse is worth a thousand gold in the Central Plains, and a stone of grain and rice is worth a lot of money, Mi Zhu is making a lot of money this time, Jia Rong did not point out, who let himself currently lack grain and rice, and the nearby counties and counties can't borrow it, and then there are ten thousand stone of grain and rice, it will definitely be able to get through the current difficulties, and there will be many places to use Mi Zhu in the future.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Jia Rong smiled and whispered in Mi Zhu's ear for a while, and Mi Zhu excitedly followed Jia Rong's back to the craftsman's workshop.
Looking at the two people who were far away, Zhang Li shook his head for a while, how could Jia Rong have a little too guarded appearance, unless he had some momentum when he was fighting, he usually did some things that didn't matter, sometimes he was a hooligan and sometimes a scoundrel, but sometimes he did things that he couldn't refute.
Jia Rong took Mi Zhu through many checkpoints and was able to enter the craftsman's workshop, Mi Zhu sighed: "The defense of the craftsman's workshop in Beidi County is too tight. Jia Rong smiled and did not answer.
Looking at the rows of stoves by a huge pool, hundreds of blacksmiths worked hard to strike iron, Mi Zhu was also stunned, for a craftsman's workshop, it was worth spending such a big effort, Mi Zhu was very puzzled by this.
Blacksmith Liu heard the news of Jia Rong's coming, and hurried over, although the food in Beidi County was urgent a few days ago, the food in the craftsman's workshop remained unchanged, which made these blacksmiths very moved, and they worked harder to make iron.
Jia Rong looked at Blacksmith Liu, who was covered in sweat, and said, "Go and bring the things I asked you to forge a few days ago into the room." ”
In the craftsman's workshop, in Jia Rong's special room, Mi Zhu repeatedly studied the item for nearly half an hour before returning to his seat, Mi Zhu was involved in a wide range of business fields, and after careful observation, he found the extraordinaryness of the item in front of him.
"The adult's craftsman workshop is really talented, and a small plow can be transformed so perfectly, it can really be called the first craftsman workshop of the Han Dynasty." Mi Zhu exclaimed.
Mi Zhu privately called Jia Rong a brother and brother, and on the surface he still called Jia Rong Lord , but the cunning Mi Zhu didn't want to be caught by Jia Rong with any pigtails.
Jia Rong will signal Blacksmith Liu to go down, and then negotiate with Mi Zhu, Jia Rong doesn't want to bargain with a merchant in front of his subordinates, that will affect his image of being wise and tall.
After only discussing for a while, Mi Zhu jumped up, slapped the table and shouted: "No, no, this price is unacceptable." ”
Jia Rong looked at Mi Zhu with a smile, looking like he was sure of him.
It's just a cup of tea, Mi Zhu lowered his head and said, "Okay, just take Zhiyuan as he said." ”
Jia Rong's conditions were very simple, let Mi Zhu build a grain and rice store in the city, and the price was set by the Taishou Mansion, and at the same time, Mi Zhu took out another 5,000 catties of iron, and after some bargaining by Mi Zhu, he cut it into 1,000 catties of iron.
Jia Rong clearly remembers the beginning of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan formed a rebellion, businessmen Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping funded Liu Bei to make a thousand catties of iron, Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue knife, Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear, and Liu Bei's double-strand sword were all made of iron.
I didn't expect Mi Zhu's reaction to be very big, the weapons of the Han Dynasty can be made of iron, they are all Haode weapons, made of Xuantie, and the word "treasure" will be added in front, which is made of meteorite outside the sky, that is, a peerless weapon, the Qingyu sword in Jia Rong's hand is made of meteorite iron outside the sky, sharpening iron like mud, blowing hair and breaking hair.
Iron is also fine iron, although it is far less than the iron after the Tang Dynasty, but it is the best product of the Han Dynasty's weapons, after all, it is difficult to find dark iron, and meteorite iron outside the sky is extremely rare.
Mi Zhu is also relatively resistant to the construction of grain and rice shops in the city and set prices by the government, Xiang Mi Zhu such a business family has its own grain and rice shops in various places, but the price is set by themselves, in the year of the disaster, several merchants united to hoard grain to raise the price of grain is very normal, that is, the so-called making the country difficult to make money, Jia Rong's move is undoubtedly against the interests of businessmen.
Secondly, Northland County is located in a border county, and wars occur from time to time, so it is not wise to invest here.
couldn't resist Jia Rong's temptation, Mi Zhu finally agreed.
Jia Rong's "original" was also bought by these things, if the financial resources of Northland County were sufficient, it would definitely not be sold at such a low price, and the first pot of gold crossed was obtained.
The wisdom of the ancients cannot be ignored, in the era when there is no trademark registration, just imitation is enough for Jia Rong's head, and selling it to Mi Zhu is also a last resort.
Mi Zhu hurriedly left Beidi County on the second day with the drawings and samples of the plough tools.
The operation of the craftsman's workshop is very smooth, these blacksmiths' building skills may not be the most haode of the Han, but no one is born to be a craftsman, Jia Rong's series of reward systems make these blacksmiths work hard to build weapons in the craftsman workshop every day, these blacksmiths learn to make iron itself is to support their families, and now they can be promoted on the basis of supporting their families, how can they not do their best.
Jia Rong often has nothing to do to come to the craftsman's workshop to go around, chatting with these blacksmiths, after a long time, these blacksmiths do not have the previous restraint in the face of Jia Rong, Jia Rong often let some blacksmiths talk about their blacksmithing experience and share it with others.
The ancients paid attention to skills and did not pass them on, and there was still some resistance at first, but there is such a clause in Jia Rong's reward system: "Those who are good at building weapons and are willing to tell their experience of striking iron will be rewarded with consistent money!" The premise is that it is not repeated with others and is considered useful by the majority of people. "Watching the other blacksmiths receive the usual money, the rest of them can not be blushing, so the habit of haode has been maintained.
Today, Jia Rong came to the craftsman's workshop as usual, looking at the blacksmith who was constantly beating with a hammer on his bare shoulders, Jia Rong nodded approvingly, as long as the craftsman's workshop continued to operate, it would not be difficult for some high-level or even master-level blacksmiths to come out of these blacksmiths in the future.
Liu Blacksmith followed Jia Rong all the way to the hut exclusive to Jia Rong, Liu Tiejian was not as busy as when the craftsman's workshop had just begun, and usually followed these blacksmiths to exchange experiences in the ironwork, and walked around the craftsman's workshop, smiling all day long.
Jia Rong motioned for Blacksmith Liu to sit down, and handed a piece of rice paper in his hand to Blacksmith Liu's hand very heavily.
The pattern on Jia Rong's rice paper last time, Liu Blacksmith studied it before he figured it out, and couldn't help but be impressed by Jia Rong's ingenious design, and since then he has looked at Jia Rong with admiration.
Blacksmith Liu carefully opened the rice paper, Jia Rong's painting skills are still very good, a thick round upper part and a flat lower part of the flat ring are very three-dimensional objects presented on the paper, carefully look at the work of about the tea, or the same frowning brows as last time.
After all, Blacksmith Liu is just a blacksmith, if you are a person of insight in the army, you can see the extraordinaryness of this thing at a glance, if you want to increase the strength of the army, you need not only hard training, but also sharp weapons and strong auxiliaries, a million army with a thick wooden stick can beat the 100,000 army with a strong and stubborn force.
It is the stirrup that is drawn on the paper, do not underestimate such a small stirrup, if the ancient cavalry is a tank, then the saddle can be called a cannon on the tank, with it, the cavalry will become a nightmare that the infantry can never surpass.
