The price is cost-effective, and 20,000 catties of wine sounds like a lot at first glance, but in fact, it is scattered and cannot meet the market of Daqi at all.

Wine is in the high-end market, and it is rare and expensive.

According to different regions, the number of local wealthy households, a reasonable price is formulated.

You can definitely make a lot of money.

As for the ice, it's just a good complement to the wine.

Except in winter, the grapes are put in cold well water, so that the treated wine tastes very cool.

"How's the Lin family's affairs going?" Jiang Long suddenly changed the subject.

The black-clothed guard was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "It's already unfolded." "But my eyes still glanced at the ice.

Obviously, the black-clothed guard also wanted to get a way to make ice.

It's also a great way to make money, and make a lot of money, especially in the summer.

Jiang Long wanted to lure the Lin family to pay money, buy illicit salt, and then smuggle and sell it, and the profits were absolutely huge.

The main reason is that the people can't do without salt, and the imperial court, which controls salt, has set the price of salt very high.

Let the Lin family make a few sums of money first, arouse the greed of the Lin family, so that more and more goods will be purchased.

And when the Lin family's large sum of money is secured, the black-clothed guard will drag it and refuse to give the goods.

Like the Lin family with ants on a hot pot, it has become Jiang Long's palm.

The Lin family is gradually declining, and the helmsman wants to make the Lin family turn over and recast its glory, so the possibility of being fooled is very high, and there are too many people in the Lin family, even if they find out Jiang Long's bad intentions, it will be too late, and they will definitely stand on Jiang Long's side and abandon Lin Ya's father and stepmother.

There are so many people in the Lin family, and they have been passed down from generation to generation, and many people have no longer been close.

And in order to compete for the ancestral property, there will be open and secret fights, even if there are many people who are hostile to Lin Ya's father.

Abandoning Lin Ya's father and stepmother can turn the situation around, and I think many people will agree.

As long as it doesn't harm their interests.

At that time, Jiang Long will help Lin Ya's younger brother to take the throne.

For the people of the Lin family, although they are unwilling, they will not be too opposed.

After all, Lin Zhi's body is also flowing with the blood of the Lin family.

It's not an outsider who is in charge of the Lin family.

When Lin Zhi takes the throne, Jiang Long will vigorously support the Lin family, and he is not afraid that everyone in the Lin family will not be loyal to the Jing family.

Lin Ya's father and stepmother lost power, so naturally they also want to take revenge!

Lin Zhi's grievances and injuries in the past must be redoubled.

"Did it go well?" Jiang Long asked again uneasily.

"All the best." This black-clothed guard had already received the news from over there, and the Daolin family was very interested in smuggling and selling salt.

Jiang Long nodded with satisfaction, and waved his hand to let the black-clothed guard retreat.

But the black-clothed guard knelt and didn't move, "Little master, this ice-making method ......"

"I will naturally teach you the method, and the 20,000 catties of wine, if you are interested, I will also give it to you to sell."

When the black-clothed guard heard this, his face was happy.

"Not now, though." Jiang Long waved his hand again.

The black-clothed guard wanted to ask when he would teach him, but hesitated, still obediently withdrawing.

Over the next few days, Jiang Long set out to make a variety of fruit juice drinks.

The production of fruit juice is actually quite simple, it is nothing more than squeezing out the juice of the fruit, these juices are just squeezed out dryly and drunk, the taste is slightly worse, you only need to add some sugar and honey.

Jianglong also made a simple hand-cranked juicer.

Of course, this juicer is quite primitive and rudimentary.

Turning the crumble will grind the fruit, and there is a strainer at the bottom, and the juice will flow down.

In addition to making juice, Jiang Long also wants to get all kinds of cold drinks.

For example, ice cream.

Cow's or goat's milk is indispensable for making these things, but people in this world don't know how to get rid of the smell of milk.

The people of Daqi basically don't drink it.

In fact, there are many ways to get rid of the smell in milk, one of which is to use almonds.

When boiling milk, add some almonds, bring them to a boil and remove them.

Almonds are a kind of medicinal herb that is naturally sold in pharmacies.

Jiang Long plans to make all these things and teach them to the black-clothed guards at one time, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and this summer, these things should be able to make a lot of money.

Jiang Long was busy in the courtyard, and the surrounding counties almost fell out.

Why?

The reason is very simple, most of the people in the surrounding counties saw the list and then came to Lingtong County to dig the river.

At first, the officials of the surrounding counties did not take it seriously, because only the sturdy men went out to work, although there were many of them, but they were nothing, and they thought that they would always come back when they were done, but it was not long before the men came back and went out again with the women of the family.

After that, the family went to Lingtong County.

So these officials panicked, because in the area they managed, the population was much smaller.

The largest county has even dropped by more than half in terms of population.

Is this worth it?

Whether it can become a county or not, in addition to the land area, there is another condition to measure, that is, the number of people.

If the population was too small, the imperial court would revoke the establishment of the county.

If the establishment is really abolished, won't they lose their official positions?

If you want to go back, you will be rearranged by the officials of the ministry.

But God knows how long it will take for Lu Dao to be sent on an errand next time?

Without silver dredging and dotting, there is no familiar Shangguan and doorway, maybe it will take five or six years to wait.

Moreover, even if the establishment of the county is not abolished, the number of people under their management is too small.

If there are fewer people in charge, the power will be small.

How else to make political achievements and accumulate wealth?

Pang Chengan took a sip of tea and glanced at the several county orders sitting below.

These county commanders ran to Wangsha City, and asked him to call the shots with a bitter face, to embarrass Jiang Long, and to ask Jiang Long to stop digging rivers and cultivating fields.

Put the people back.

But Pang Chengan still wants to see Jiang Long's jokes, where is he willing to agree?

However, the loss of population is so severe that it is indeed a big problem.

In fact, what about the surrounding counties?

Even in Wangsha City, a large number of people went to Lingtong County to do things.

Compared with the few county orders in front of him who were in a hurry, the happier Pang Chengan was when he saw the more people going to Lingtong County.

Because the larger the population, the more difficult it is to manage, and the more likely it is to get out of trouble.

The people in northern Xinjiang are already fierce, and if there is a slight discord, they will quarrel and act.

What do you care about this kind of thing?

If you are caught in prison, you have to take care of these people's food, no matter what, these people have accumulated contradictions, and if they are left alone, they may cause people to die in the future.

Enough of a headache.

Pang Chengan was not wrong to think so.

Because the county government here is short of money and food, and the people are poor, and there is no money to dredge up the relationship, please let the relatives out, so no one wants to arrest the prisoner and give him public food for nothing.

Unless it is a felony who has committed a serious crime, most of them are beaten and driven home.

But today's Lingtong County is an exception.

With Jiang Long coming out with silver, there is no shortage of money or food.

Whoever commits an offense is immediately arrested.

Then led by the officials, they went around cleaning the smelly places in the county, and if there were too many people, they could also go out in batches and stay with the horse bandits to dig the moat.

And there is no wage for doing these jobs.

On the contrary, digging a river outside the city not only can feed a full stomach but also get wages, except for some people who have a rather violent temper and can't control their temper, the rest of the people are unwilling to make trouble.

Pang Chengan also has other ideas, the more people there are, the more money and food will be consumed, and if they can't feed themselves, they will have to make trouble.

So I thought that the more people who went to Lingtong County, the better.

But he didn't know that the black-clothed guard had already taken a detour and delivered a large amount of grain to Lingtong County.

Since Pang Chengan decided that Lingtong County would definitely not succeed, he no longer sent people to pay close attention, and he has not found one thing, that is, with the development of Lingtong County, many businesses have invested in, including some grain and oil merchants.

These people transported large quantities of grain to Lingtong County for sale.

So far, business is good.

The workers who dig the river are only responsible for the three meals of the people and the women, and the old people and children brought by these people also have to eat food.

This is the main reason why the grain shops on the street are doing well.

Minzhuang and the women have a salary, and it is not low, so it is natural to keep the family fed and clothed.

The greater the number of people, the greater the supply and demand.

When these people gradually get rich, it will promote the economic prosperity and growth of Lingtong County.

"Huge people......" Seeing that Pang Chengan didn't speak or express his position, a gray-haired county magistrate had a bitter face and wanted to speak.

But he was interrupted by Pang Cheng'an waving his hand, "Do you think that Lord Jiang digs the river and cultivates the fields, and wants to develop Lingtong County and its surrounding areas into the largest granary in Northern Xinjiang, is it realistic?" ”

Several prefectural commanders looked at each other, then shook their heads at the same time.

They weren't optimistic, and they had been waiting to see Jiang Long's jokes.

"In that case, why are you in a hurry?" Pang Chengan put down the teacup in his hand, "When the project is over, the people who went to dig the river will naturally go back." ”

"But ......," a county magistrate looked worried.

Pang Chengan chuckled, "Don't worry, the official will press some and not let the upper side revoke the establishment." ”

"Thank you for the huge man!"

Several county magistrates finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared with the declining population and shrinking power of the people under their current management, they are more worried that they will lose their official positions.

Nodding slightly, Pang Chengan's eyes suddenly flashed with a light of calculation, and then he lowered his voice and gave orders to several county orders.

Several county orders kept nodding.

These county orders are not Pang Chengan's real henchmen, but the relationship is not bad.

What's more, now there is the same enemy as Jiang Long.

They will naturally cooperate vigorously with Pang Chengan.

So several county orders went back, and there were a few more posts at the gate of the city.

Bangwen roughly means that everything is going very well in Lingtong County to dig the river and reclaim the fields, and there is still a lot of manpower missing.

Encourage the people in the jurisdiction to go to Lingtong County to work as soon as possible.

In the past few days, the population of Lingtong County has risen rapidly again.

This anomaly naturally attracted the attention of Xiao Fan and Cheng Ze, and the two of them sent fast officials to the surrounding counties, saw those lists, and after thinking about it for a while, the two of them saw through the intentions.

They are not angry, but happy.

For now, the population of Lingtong County is still on the small side.

Even if the people who came to work and all their families lived there, the number of people would not be enough.

Anyway, Jiang Long has the ability to earn money, so naturally the more people he recruits, the better, so that he can complete the project as soon as possible and make political achievements.

The two discussed in private.

The next day, there was also an extra list at the gate of Lingtong County and the county government.
