Chapter 16 Leading the trend of Yanling County
"Ding Dong, you need to save up two hundred people next time."
Two hundred, it's too hard.
Therefore, as soon as Tang Wen landed, he asked Bu Feng to pick some more people to be stationed in Yanling County.
The first is to inquire about the news, and the second is to receive refugees and victims who have fled from the war.
This was the first spy agency established by Tang Wen in the other world, when Zhan Dongwen asked him what his name was, Tang Wen blurted out, "It's called Zhanhu." ”
Hehe, because the movie Wolf Warrior is so famous.
Bu Feng was the leader of the first Battle Fox team, and there were only five or six subordinates.
This time, 8,000 taels of gold were sold for 96 million, Tang Wen used 40 million to buy back 200,000 taels of silver ingots, and the remaining 56 million were all purchased materials.
400 tons are cement reinforcement, special operations training equipment, etc.
At this time, Sun Ping came to report that a large number of stones had been found not far from the back mountain.
The stones were overgrown with weeds and trees, all of which were covered, and they should have been the stones left by those people when they were secretly digging the Tang family's silver mine.
These stones are hard granite, which can be used to mix cement after being broken with a stone crusher, which solves the big problem of raw materials for dam construction.
The last time Li Quan went to Yanling County to exchange silver for gold, it seemed that people were targeting, so after this exchange, Tang Wen's plan to exchange gold for silver to make the difference had to be put on hold for a while.
Moreover, as the amount increases, it is also necessary to guard against being targeted by those special departments of the Great Eastern Republic.
For ten days, Tang Wen took Qiao Xiao and his gang to pick a place to install special warfare training equipment.
For example, sand pits, fire walls, puddles, mud pools, grass, plum blossom piles, shooting ranges, drilling barbed wire...... Swing......
Of course, these are facilities that do not be started by electricity, otherwise, there is no way to do it.
And Ge Ziyun was arranged to lead people to widen and tidy up the main road on the island.
There are stone crushers, sand crushers, working overtime, using more than a dozen flatbed carriages to transport them in turn, and a medium-sized excavator and road roller.
With 200 laborers rushing to work, the road was leveled and widened to about eight or nine meters, and the ditches on both sides were close to ten meters, which was about the same level as the county road in Huaxia several decades ago.
At that time, most of the county roads were only five or six meters wide, and they were all paved with gravel.
Cars can run, but what's not in a carriage?
After eating enough, these disaster victims in the Great Chu State are much faster and more energetic than those handymen in modern society who fish and meat every day and have a few taels of white wine to eat at night.
In addition, the gravel road has no technical content, so the progress is not slow, and it is paved for about four or five hundred meters in one day.
At this rate, if you want to pave the stone bridge, you can pave the stone bridge to the sea in a month.
If you want to get rich, you must first build a road, and this road must be completed.
Otherwise, it will not be possible to transport a large number of crops and other things that will be produced on the island in the future.
A month has passed in a blink of an eye, the road has been repaired, and the construction of the Wolong Lake Dam is about to start, which requires a large amount of cement and steel bars.
Because of the purchase of horses and mules, pills and other pills cost more than 30,000 taels.
And Tang Wen hasn't earned a penny for nearly two months, so he can't stand the toss even if he has a mountain of gold and silver.
However, in the past month, Tang Wen has only recruited about 50 people, which is still far from the goal of 200 popularity of the 'big landlord system' again.
Tang Wen was also a little anxious in his heart.
As soon as he returned to the station, Gu Hanyan came and said, "Master, I have recovered now and can serve my master." ”
"Will your heart be willing?" Tang Wen looked at her and said.
"You have to do it whether you want to do it or not, I am not a person who does not make promises.
Since it was sold to the Tang family, she is the slave of the Tang family.
The lord doesn't have to worry about anything, I will do the slave's duty with smoke.
Never let the master be embarrassed and lose his duty. Gu Hanyan said with an indifferent expression.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll ask someone to divide the tent into three, one for you and one for Junru and me." Tang Wen nodded.
"Hmm." Gu Hanyan replied softly.
Below, Tang Wen called a carpenter and divided the tent into three rooms with fireproof boards.
Sleeping in the middle by yourself, this is called 'hugging left and hugging'. Of course, it's just a little bit of lewdness.
In the afternoon, Li Quan came back from Yanling County and brought back two hundred taels of gold.
"Master, this is given by Miss Li Chun'er from Piaoxiang Building, and she said that she has all three batches of goods given by the master. Ask if there are any, and if there are any, tell me to send them right away. Li Quan took out a letter and handed it over.
Tang Wen took out the letter and read it and found that it was a bill.
Immediately, I was stunned, I didn't expect those mirrors, lipsticks, and perfumes to pass quite quickly, and they were all over in more than two months.
At that time, the three batches of goods were all inferior goods, and the cost only cost Tang Wen more than 200,000 yuan, and 200 taels of gold ingots could be sold for more than 2 million when they crossed back to the Dadong Republic.
Ten times the profit, which is more profitable than selling * drugs.
"Master, you don't know, Yanlingjun has been blowing a wind recently." Li Quan said with a smile.
"What wind?" Tang Wen asked.
"Mirror wind, perfume wind, all the eldest lady with a head and a face, your lady goes out.
If there is no smell of perfume on your body, take out a small round mirror from time to time to comb your hair, and scratch your head and make a pose.
Then you will be looked down upon and will be seen as inferior.
So, for a while, the city was full of small mirrors.
However, now that it is out of stock, many people have taken the opportunity to resell mirror lipsticks, and the price has doubled all of a sudden. Li Quan said.
"And such a thing?" Tang Wen was a little dumbfounded.
"It's absolutely true, I saw with my own eyes a few official ladies and ladies showing off small round mirrors." Li Quan said.
"Then dare to be kind, Li Quan, you will immediately take someone to escort a batch of them over and hand them over to Li Chun'er, or sell them according to the old rules." Tang Wen said.
"Now that the price of mirror perfume has risen, it is still the original price, won't we suffer a loss?" Li Quan asked distressedly.
"It's okay, business has to be long-term, and you have to take a little money for others to earn. Small profits but quick turnover, we do not suffer. Tang Wen took Li Quan into the warehouse and gave him all the rest of the goods.
Of course, it's not that Tang Wen doesn't want to increase the price, he has to consider the affordability of the women in Yanling City.
The first batch of people to buy mirror lipsticks were rich people, and this batch of goods used to be those women from middle-class families.
This part of the people has just been able to eat enough, and it is not easy for people to scrape together one or two halves of gold.
If it goes up, they won't be able to afford it, and it will be unsalable, which is not conducive to sales development.
After all, Yanling City is just a county town, and Tang Wen's eyes are on the provincial capital Jiangzhou.
There were more daughters and official wives, and the next day, the first step of the Wolong Lake Dam project began.
In the center of Koh Samui there is a sky-high peak, which is more than 1,000 meters high.
The entire Chaotian Peak extends outward, twenty or thirty miles long from east to west, and the extent of the north and south is not clear to Tang Wen for the time being, and the fresh water on the island is all flowing down from Chaotian Peak.
The water flowing to Wolong Lake first drains down in the form of a multi-level waterfall upstream, and there is a deep pool below, and then a small stream is formed and goes straight to Wolong Lake.
The creek is not big, it is only ten meters wide near Chaotian Peak, and it is only thirty-four meters wide near the entrance of Wolong Lake.
To build a dam, the first thing to do is to intercept the water from the stream, divert it to other places with huge pipes, and drain the lake water before it can be constructed.
Tang Wen thought of this first, and a month ago, he had already selected a relatively flat site five miles upstream of the stream and irrigated a huge water storage tank with concrete.
And, every other mile, a few more were built downstream, all the way to the barracks.
At that time, Zhan Dongwen and his gang thought that the master was messing around, and they didn't know why they spent so much cement to get it out, but today Tang Wen let them know.
"Dongwen, we used to use water at the bottom of the lake to pick it up, do you say you're tired?" Standing in front of the water storage tank, Tang Wen asked with a smile.
"Of course I'm tired, and besides, now there are more and more people, and they all have to drink water.
I also have to do laundry and vegetables, and I will continue to expand in the future.
I'm afraid that people who just carry water will have to arrange more than a dozen a day. Zhan Dongwen nodded.
"I'm afraid ten or so is not enough, if the population of our camp increases to two or three thousand, and the number of livestock is about 100, how much water will we get for food, shelter and washing a day? Dozens of people have to carry water. Ge Ziyun said.
"That's right, a few thousand is nothing, what if it's 123,000 people?" Tang Wen said with a smile.
"That's not going to be used at all, I understand, so you're going to build a dam, and in the future, when the water level rises, we'll eat the water from Wolong Lake." Zhan Dongwen thought left.
"Hehe, no, no, no, Wolong Lake has another use. If we want to solve the problem of draft and water, we will have to rely on it in the future. Tang Wen pointed to the huge cement pool.
"Could it be that the old man wants to bring the stream water into the pond and then use a pipe to connect it to the camp?" Ge Ziyun is much smarter.
"That's right! And, you see, our pools are in the shape of steps, and down to the camp, there are several. Tang Wen said.
"Isn't that a waste? Just go straight from the pool to the camp. Zhang Kui asked.
