Chapter 166: Heading North

What to do in the north?

Tianling smiled, of course he was going to see the prairie in the north!

Sweet tea in Pingjing City is very popular, and the tea dim sum is afraid of being sold out, so it has to be supplied in limited quantities every day.

Limited but no price increase, more people like it.

Now that Sweet Tea has begun to open up to join, those newly recruited merchants have purchased core raw materials from Tianling.

Fructose and ice cubes are easy to say, and they can be produced here as many heavenly spirits as they want.

But there is no way to solve it with fresh milk.

Relying on farmers in nearby states, it should be okay in an emergency, and it is simply impossible to supply it for a long time.

So at the moment, we need to find another way.

The amount of fresh milk in the nearby area is not enough, and the far place is not convenient to transport, Tianling thought about it and thought of a way, that is, to find a place where a large amount of milk can be produced for a long time, and then process the fresh milk into milk powder on the spot, and then transport it back to Pingjing.

In this way, it not only solves the problem of inconvenient transportation of fresh milk deterioration, but also saves a lot of transportation costs by turning the liquid into solid.

The method of processing fresh milk into milk powder is well known, so finding a large fresh milk supply place is the most important problem to be solved at the moment.

Tianling originally wanted to buy some land in the nearby states to raise cattle and sheep in captivity, but this method was abandoned after Tianling went to survey a few places, because the places near Pingjing City are mostly mountainous, and there are more forests than grasslands, so it is not suitable to raise a large number of cattle and sheep in captivity.

Tian Lingfu thought about it again, mobilized the farmers, let them raise more cattle and sheep in addition to ploughing cattle, disperse the centralized captivity to each household, and then concentrate on the purchase, but this method was also given up after he looked at the map of the nearby states that Xiao Mingzi gave him, and the villages were far apart, and the centralized acquisition that Tian Ling thought of could be, but it would cost a lot of manpower and material resources.

On the whole, the cost of raw materials according to this method is higher than the current product pricing of Xiao Tiancha, so this method is not possible.

But the problem of fresh milk raw materials had to be solved, so Tianling decided to go to the north.

There are prairies in the north, with fat cattle, sheep and horses, and most of the leather and wool in the shops in Pingjing City come from the north.

And these problems are very easy to solve for Tianling, fresh milk deterioration can turn it into milk powder, and transportation, Tianling's hand post is now gradually spread across the country, merchants around the country are following the existence of goods, still need to worry?

Therefore, the Heavenly Spirit only needs to find someone in the north who can provide him with a long-term and large amount of milk.

It's very simple to find someone who can provide a milk source, but it is necessary for Tianling to turn it into milk powder and arrange personnel for transportation, so Tianling has to go to the north to sweep up the matter of Xiaotiancha.

Tianling felt a little bored when he didn't read in the car alone, Wang Xiping asked, and he told Wang Xiping that all these things should be gossip.

After listening to this, Wang Xiping suddenly realized and at the same time suggested to Tianling, "Master, since you have all made milk powder, why don't you get something else out to make money by the way?" ”

"For example?" Tianling didn't raise his eyelids, and asked lazily.

"I searched for products related to beef, sheep and horses in my program, and got such as lamb rolls, woolen sweaters, boiled beef, cold beef, beef jerky, potato roast beef, stewed beef brisket with tomatoes, beef tenderloin with black pepper, stewed beef, curry beef, beef shortbread, steak, stir-fried beef river, West Lake beef soup, carrot roast beef, onion stir-fried beef, braised beef, braised beef, ······"

"Stop!" Tianling stopped Wang Xiping, who was about to develop into the name of the dish, "These things you said don't have to be made by cattle and sheep in the north, so there is no uniqueness at all, besides, there are no restrictions on these things, I can do them, and others can do them." ”

"What's more, even if others can't do it, I don't plan to do it." Tianling touched Wang Xiping's head, "Your head is on your neck, and my head is pinned to the waistband of my trousers." ”

Maybe Wang Xiping's program rarely involves colloquialisms, so when Tianling said this, he looked a little confused, stretched his neck and looked at Tianling again, "Master, after scanning, there is no head on your trouser belt, and your head is also on your neck, and there is nothing abnormal." ”

Tianling was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "It seems that high-end intelligent robots also have shortcomings." ”

But it's right to think about it, even if Wang Xiping is so powerful that the heavenly spirit is breathtaking, he is essentially just a robot, and he can't take the initiative to learn and think.

"Master, are you despising me?" Wang Xiping asked suspiciously.

"Nope. Do you think I'm trying to lie? "The face of the heavenly spirit does not change color.

"Although I have a built-in polygraph function, it has never been enabled, master, do you need to enable your own polygraph now?" Wang Xiping said.

"You try." Tian Lingle was happy, he said casually, and actually triggered Wang Xiping's command password, and decided to play this so-called lie detector function at the moment.

A green light flashed in Wang Xiping's eyes, "Start testing." ”

"Breathing, heartbeat, blood pressure, body temperature are normal, and there is no sweating on the skin."

"Gastric contractions, secretion of digestive juices, amount of glycogenesis released by the liver, and secretion of adrenaline are within normal values."

"There is no dilation of the pupils, no muscle tightness."

······

"After the test, the test result is 95% that the owner did not lie, but it cannot be ruled out that the person tested has a strong psychological quality and can do not react when lying." Wang Xiping finally concluded.

"So the so-called polygraph function is actually useless, so it's never been enabled, right?" Tian Ling smiled.

"Master, you're right, the scientist who created me said the same thing, that's why the percentage value is set in the test results, and a note is attached that does not rule out unexpected circumstances." Wang Xiping replied truthfully.

Tianling smiled, things can be controlled by established values and standards, but people can never be quantified with values, which may be the reason why no one dares to use numerical values to say that a person is 100% lying.

The journey to the north is far away, and most of the time is in the carriage, but Tianling reads and copies books along the way, but he doesn't feel bored, and there is Wang Xiping talking with him.

When Tianling arrived in the hot grassland, he was taken to an inn by Ji Wenzheng, who was dressed in local clothes.

"Childe, I rode five days faster than you, and after I came, I stayed here, and then according to Childe, I went to contact the local herdsmen, and they were very happy when they heard that someone wanted to collect a large amount of fresh milk, and said that if it was really a long-term harvest, they were willing to sell it cheaper." Ji Wenzheng saw Tianling and said excitedly, "In the past few days, I have made a secret visit and found that most of the leather and wool sold in Pingjing City are obtained from the three major tribes on the hot grassland, and most of the herdsmen I contacted are herdsmen from these three tribes. ”

"Are these three tribes at odds with each other?" Tian Ling asked out loud.

"Listen to the herders, unless it's a grab, there is very little dispute." Ji Wenzheng said.

"Tomorrow you take the lead, and say that the merchants from the south who are coming to collect fresh milk are coming, and they will invite these herdsmen over." Tianling said, "Let's just talk about the price and quantity." ”

Ji Wenzheng nodded, "I'll go right away." ”

After Tianling waited for Ji Wenzheng to leave, he closed the door, and rolled on the bed in the inn with his clothes, the bed was still comfortable!

Along the way, dry food and clear water can be accepted by Tianling, but only sleeping is the same, Tianling is tortured.

Sometimes the time is running out and it is impossible to stay in the hotel, and the heavenly spirit can only stay in the carriage for one night, and there is no way to sleep well.

Now it's finally a chance to get a good night's sleep!

Tianling slept very sweetly with the quilt in his arms, and the next day he was woken up by Ji Wenzheng knocking on the door.

"Childe, are you up? The herders are coming soon? Ji Wenzheng said outside the door.

"Just come." Tianling turned over, cleaned himself up and opened the door, but saw Ji Wenzheng still waiting outside the door, "Why are you still here?" ”

"I got two buns for Childe, Childe try them?" Ji Wenzheng handed an oiled paper bag to Tianling, "The food here is relatively rough, mostly steamed buns, I am afraid that my son will not be used to eating them, so I made two steamed buns and prepared them." ”

"Thank you." Tianling took a bite of the bun, "Hmm! Delicious! ”

Ji Wenzheng originally had a smile on his face that was a little apprehensive, he hadn't cooked for a long time, but fortunately he wasn't rusty, "It's good if the son likes it." ”

"After a while, the herdsmen will come, and they will do as I told you before, and do everything they can when they are right." Tianling walked out of the aisle while eating.

"Childe, don't worry, Wen Zheng will definitely handle things well." Ji Wenzheng said.

Tianling nodded, he personally went north this time, in addition to working for the emperor, he had to make a handful of it himself!

That night, he interrogated Xiao Tiancha's arsenic guy, and learned that there was a secret guard by his side, so he suspected that the secret guard was sent by the emperor, in order to confirm what he thought, Tianling went to ask Xuanping Hou if he had sent someone to follow him, Xuanping Hou told Tianling that the guards outside Tianling's courtyard were sent by him, but nothing else.

In this way, the heavenly spirit confirmed that the emperor, who had already removed the people who were watching him, sent another person without making a sound.

This fact made Tian Ling frightened and frightened, he knew that when the business in his hand was getting bigger and bigger, it would definitely arouse the emperor's suspicion, so Tian Ling had always had reservations and only did business that others could not do.

Tianling didn't believe that the emperor put secret guards around him to protect his own safety, and even if there was, it was just a matter of convenience, Tianling thought, there was more of a purpose in this, or there was a lot of suspicion.

Therefore, the heavenly spirit is even more eager to make himself stronger.

And the most upright and powerful is to enter the imperial examination, but now Tianling is too young to participate in the imperial examination.

Before you have an official status, let's accumulate more wealth over there!

Give it to yourself, not to the emperor!

So when Tianling went north, on the surface, he set off alone, but secretly, he asked Ji Wenzheng to come to the hot grassland first, and after contacting the herdsmen, he appeared as a merchant who collected fresh milk in the south.

What Tianling and Ji Wenzheng discussed before was that after the herdsmen came, Ji Wenzheng cooperated with Tianling to reduce the price, and Tianling would push the price of fresh milk to a very low level, so low that the herdsmen could not accept it at all. Then Ji Wenzheng came forward to purchase all the fresh milk at a suitable price and processed it into milk powder, and Tianling then purchased milk powder from Ji Wenzheng and shipped it back to Pingjing.

In fact, it was indeed as the Heavenly Spirit had planned, after the herdsmen came, the Heavenly Spirit pressed the price to them, and they said that even if they poured out the milk, they would not sell it to a black-hearted businessman like the Heavenly Spirit, and finally the meeting to discuss the purchase of fresh milk broke up unhappily.

As the leader, Ji Wenzheng found these herdsmen after this, apologized one by one, saying that he didn't expect the other party to push the price so low, and then told these people that he really loved their fresh milk, and he was reluctant to buy and sell, so he simply didn't want to be the leader, and did the deal himself!

Although he is not as rich as the little boy from the south, he has a better conscience than the little boy, even if he borrows money, he can't lose his brothers who work hard to herd cattle and sheep!

The words brought tears to the eyes of those herdsmen, holding Ji Wenzheng's hand and shouting, "Good brother, we have the milk and goat milk on the grassland, we will sell as much as you want!" As long as you're there, we won't sell it to anyone else! ”

Ji Wenzheng was happy, and shouted back with red eyes, "Good brother! With your words, I'm going to raise money! The price is as much as you say! ”

The men on the grassland are upright, seeing Ji Wenzheng like this, holding Ji Wenzheng's shoulder is a pat, "Good brother!" You are righteous! We'll sell it to you at two cents lower than the normal price! ”

In this way, Ji Wenzheng became a giant that monopolized the milk source of the hot grassland.

Of course, here, he is not called Ji Wenzheng, he has a very local name - Bagen.

After that unhappy meeting, Tianling only went out for a walk symbolically every day, asking who had fresh milk, but no one paid attention to him on the hot grassland.

Phew, a treacherous black-hearted businessman, he won't give it to you if he can't sell it!

After a few days, Tianling directly nested in the inn and took out the "prescription" prescribed by the old gentleman in the academy to treat his laziness, and read and practiced calligraphy according to the prescription above.

However, Ji Wenzheng is busy every day without touching the ground, not only to build a site for processing milk powder, but also to build relations with the herdsmen of the three major tribes, and to contact the people and things of the post post.

Tianling watched from the sidelines, smiled very happily, and occasionally asked, "When will Brother Bagen deliver a batch of milk powder to me?" ”

Every now and then, Ji Wenzheng feels that his two meat buns have been fed in vain!

Rush Urge! Just know to urge! Don't you see that I'm busy like a spinning top!!

However, I don't know why, Ji Wenzheng was already too tired to do it, and when Tianling said this, the fatigue actually dissipated magically, and I only thought in my heart, this is the first batch of milk powder that Gongzi wants, and I must not let it get rid of the fork! Then he continued to be a spinning top willingly.

Under the busyness of Ji Wenzheng, the first batch of milk powder was successfully completed.

Tianling sent it directly from the post post back to Pingjing City, the milk powder was bought from Ji Wenzheng, the price was set by Tianling himself, and the silver money was also collected by Tianling himself.
