Because they had discussed and set off today, Zhou Qi and the four of them got up early in the morning.

Breakfast was also eaten together, but the atmosphere today was a little silent.

Chen Xiu's attitude was still the same, Zhou Qi's eyes were a little dark, and his face was tired, obviously he didn't sleep well last night.

Fang Zhao and Cao Hui had complicated expressions, and they opened their mouths several times to break this embarrassment, but in the end they still didn't speak.

After having breakfast in a hurry, the four of them had just told their families that Zhao Fang had already arrived.

"Where do you want to go?"

In fact, they didn't discuss it at all yesterday, Fang Zhao and Cao Hui wanted to discuss it with everyone temporarily.

I heard Zhou Qi say directly: "Zhao walking, we want to go to Yancheng to have a look." ”

Without waiting for Zhao Fang to speak, Chen Xiu said: "Yancheng is a land of salt production, and it must be a rare rich place in the world, and there is nothing to see." ”

"We traveled overland north to Ningbei Town, and finally to Rift Valley Racecourse ......"

Zhou Qiqi's face turned red, and he pointed at him and said, "You...... You ......"

Chen Xiu ignored him at all, looked at Cao Hui and Fang Zhao and said, "What do you two think?" ”

"This ......" The two were a little embarrassed, but they didn't know why, seeing Chen Xiu's expressionless face, they suddenly felt a little stunned in their hearts, and said:

"I think what Brother Chen said makes sense."

I was afraid that Zhou Qi would be angry, so he explained: "Let's go to the Ningzhong Plain first, then to Ningbei, then to the Rift Valley Racecourse, and finally to Yancheng by boat, just going around." ”

Zhou Qi saw that the three of them had reached an agreement, and he trembled with anger, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Then the route was decided in this way, first to the east to the Ningzhong Plain, and then to the north.

Zhao Fang just watched them perform and didn't say anything. After they discussed it, they brought five horses, and the five of them went to the Ningzhong Plain together.

Soon out of the dock range, they were a little surprised by the view in front of them.

Originally, they thought that the situation should be very bad when they left the dock and entered the barren mountains and mountains, but this was not the case.

A wide and flat road leads into the distance, and the road is planted with two rows of trees on both sides, which looks very neat.

Of course, they were only a little surprised, and just one road could not make any substantial changes to their perception of the Tang Kingdom.

On the way, Zhao and Cao Hui began to chat with Zhao Fang and ask about the situation in Tang Kingdom.

Zhao Fang had no intention of hiding it at all, and told the true situation of Tang Guo one by one.

Three and a half years ago, he was a wanderer, fled to Lingnan and then came to the island to establish the Tang Kingdom...... Counting the 30,000 captives just delivered yesterday, there are already 280,000 people.

Knowing that they really wanted to, the four of them were shocked.

They had imagined countless ways of what the Tang Kingdom would look like, but they never thought that this would be the case.

A teenager who spent three and a half years creating all this......

They don't know what to say about it anymore.

How did he do it? How did he know so much?

The image of the Tang King in their minds became more mysterious, and no one spoke for a long time after that.

Zhao Fang has been observing the expressions of the four people, Chen Xiu is as arrogant as ever, and he can't see other emotions, and Zhou Qi is still in shock.

Fang Zhao and Cao Hui's expressions were the most complicated, some were incredulous, some were surprised, and some were ...... Regret.

After walking seven or eight miles and encountering a fork in the road to the north, Chen Xiu said: "Further on, there is Mengqi City, there is nothing to see there." ”

"All the way north along the fork in the road are villages and towns, let's take this road."

Speaking in an affirmative tone, he said the words of discussion, and without waiting for a few people to react, he commanded the mount to walk towards the path to the north.

Zhou Qi was still immersed in shock, and he didn't argue with him, let alone Fang Zhao and Cao Hui.

After walking a short distance, I saw a group of five four-wheeled carriages, full of firewood.

Chen Xiu seemed to be interested, smacked his heel lightly on the horse's belly to catch up with the carriage, and asked, "A few old brothers, what are you doing pulling so many planks?" ”

A man in his forties who drove a car said, "You just came to our Tang Kingdom, right?" It looks like a gentleman who has read a book. ”

Chen Xiu nodded and said, "How did my brother see that I just came to the island?" ”

"Haha......" A few people who were driving the car laughed.

It was still the big man who replied: "The old man of our Tang Kingdom will not ask this question." We were carpenters in Redwood Town, and we bought the lumber at the lumber mill and went home to make furniture and sell it to the people. ”

Chen Xiu was puzzled: "Oh? Why don't you make your own timber so that you can make more money? ”

The big men laughed again, and then you explained to him the reason for going to the lumber mill to buy planks.

He even calculated an account for him, he can make a set of furniture in ten days normally, and it saves effort to buy wood to make five sets, so why not buy wood?

After listening, the four of them fell silent again.

First, through the words of these carpenters, they knew that the people of the Tang Kingdom should be very wealthy, otherwise they would not have bought so much furniture.

Second, it's the first time I've heard of this business model.

The people were able to use the new furniture faster, the carpenter made more money, and the lumber mill made money, which seemed to be good for everyone.

Fang Zhao frowned and said, "No, it's not right." Someone should be losing money, but why did I calculate that everyone made money? ”

Several people pondered for a while, but they still couldn't get the point.

Zhou Qi saw that Zhao Fang looked strange, and asked in his heart: "Zhao Fang must already have an answer, can you advise?" ”

Zhao Fang smiled: "I can't talk about advice, you have ignored one thing." One of the most precious things, time. ”

Seeing that everyone was still puzzled, he explained: "The furniture that originally took ten days to be made was compressed into two days, saving eight days. ”

"The extra eight days can create more value and make more money...... Do you understand what I mean? Time is money. ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and Zhou Qi said: "I see, I have been taught." ”

"Hmph." Chen Xiu snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "It's just the way of a businessman, and it can't be on the stage after all." ”

Zhou Qi's face stiffened, and he almost cursed.

Fang Zhao also wanted to express his opinion, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly felt an itch in his throat, so he turned his head and spit out a mouthful of phlegm casually.

Immediately, I felt that my throat was comfortable, and when I was about to speak, I heard a man in a car shouting:

"Hey, I said you're dressed very well, and you look like a person who has read books, why are you so unhygienic?"

Fang Zhao was stunned, and didn't know why he blamed himself: "This brother, I don't know where I don't pay attention to hygiene?" ”

The man was even angrier and said, "I don't admit it yet, I obviously saw you spitting just now." ”

Fang Zhao was stunned: "It's just a no-man's land, and it's a wilderness, it shouldn't be in the way of anyone, right?" ”

The man said: "Where there is no one, can you not follow the rules?" It's okay to spit, at least you can stop and kick some dirt and bury it. ”

"Caring for the environment and paying attention to hygiene all depends on consciousness, consciously understanding or not...... Fortunately, this is a wilderness, and if you spit in a place where you live and get caught, you will inevitably be dragged to sweep the streets for a day. ”
