Chapter 175: A Great Plan to Make Money
The Yang family is a big family, and Yang Wei has never been short of money since he was so old, and this is the first time he has been worried about money and food. Now that the money and food of the state are stretched, this time we will not collapse immediately if we usher in this huge team!
In addition to the 100,000 who joined the army and returned to their hometowns, and the 20,000 people who stayed behind to repair the city wall of Luoyang, there were still 800,000 people left, all of whom were laborers who went to build the state. Even if these people don't pay money, just eating is a big problem.
Where can the court get money? The state is short of money, and the court is also short of money! Even Ji Chang has to save money and use it thriftily, but Yang Wei can't open his mouth.
Yang Wei was ruthless, the Soul Clan does not allow the development of scientific and technological civilization, I don't develop high-tech, and the development of low-tech is always fine. One of the things that came to mind was wine, which was now low-alcohol and had a lot of impurities. Now Hua Tuo has been taken under his command, and now he lives in his mansion. Later surgeries and the like will also need high alcohol to sterilize, and distillation and purification of high alcohol can be said to kill two birds with one stone, which can be sold for money or used for medical purposes.
The second is that Bingzhou borders the grassland, and a large number of furs can be bought from herdsmen, and the leather can be made into exquisite leather clothes, and the wool can be spun into wool and then woven into sweaters.
The grassland is bitterly cold, and it is estimated that the sweater will be sold back, and the sweater woven from the wool of half a sheep can be exchanged for the fur of ten sheep, and it can also be resold to large families in the north to make huge profits.
The third is to buy butter and sheep fat from the herdsmen, which are more in the hands of the herdsmen, and can produce soap by adding alkali, water and wine to heat, and adding a little petals is soap, which is sold to the family, and the profit is very, very high.
With these three things produced, it will definitely make the Yang family rich and rival the country, and it should be no problem to raise him with a million troops. Thinking of this, Yang Wei took out a piece of paper and spread it on the desk. Seeing this, Yang Yan hurriedly ran over to polish the ink and started his old job as a scholar. Although he hasn't done the work of a scholar a few times, he is also familiar with the road.
Soon, the ink was polished, Yang Wei picked up the pen and wrote out the current difficulties of the court and the idea of raising the army through business, and wrote down the production process of these three things in detail. Yang Wei suggested that Yang Song should first purchase the item of liquor making, after all, this is the fastest thing to show benefits, because there is no need to make liquor at all, just buy low-alcohol liquor and distill it.
Of course, this is also a technical work, and it has to be explored, but it is much faster than the other two, so it is necessary to do this work in advance, and earn some money to buy food, so that we can feed the army of laborers who will soon arrive in Bingzhou. and then slowly do two other things, so that the state into a good surname cycle.
After the letter was written, it was folded, put it in a large envelope, sealed with fire paint, and handed it to Yang Yan, saying: "This letter is very important, it must be properly placed, it must not be lost, let alone leaked to outsiders, and it must be handed over to my father by hand." Yang Yan nodded solemnly. Yang Wei shouted outside the house: "Someone!"
Immediately, a little eunuch who was on duty outside the study pushed the door and walked in, and Yang Wei ordered: "Call the chief manager." The little eunuch bowed out. Yang Wei said to Yang Yan: "You live in the mansion for two days first, and a few people will go back with you." "Yang Yan should be.
After two days, Yang Wei also wanted to go out to retreat for a period of time, after all, he only had a foundation now, and the accumulation of true qi and soul power still depended on cultivation. It's like a cup has been replaced by a water tank, but the water in it hasn't changed, it's still only a glass of water, so he has to fill it with water, and he has to rely on cultivation to fill these gaps.
However, it is better to say that the cultivation of true qi is that when he cultivates, Luoyang's true qi becomes thinner. Cultivating soul power is not good, he is now increasing the amount of soul power by relying on the soul power tornado to absorb the soul power of the outside world, if he cultivates in Luoyang, then he will really create a city of vegetative people.
And the trial place of the soul clan is very likely to be a test of soul and soul power, because this is the strength of the soul clan, so he wants to take advantage of the cold winter is coming, the war stops, and there is nothing to do, go to an inaccessible place to retreat and cultivate soul power.
Of course, the place has not yet been decided, it is possible to go to an island, it is possible to go to the Western Regions, it is possible to go to the grassland, and then we will talk about it. If he went to the grassland, he could send Yang Yan and them back, but Yang Wei had already been to the grassland, and now he wanted to go to the Western Regions or the island.
At this time, Jian Shuo pushed the door and walked in, and Yang Wei instructed: "You arrange a place for Yang Yan to live for two days." Then send someone to bring a mother and son into the house, the woman can't walk on her legs, you send some people to take care of it. Then, he explained the residence of Liu Xie's mother and son to Jian Shuo in detail. Jian Shuo left with Yang Yan at this time.
Just now, Yang Wei thought about Emperor Xian when he saw Yang Yan grinding ink, but he promised Emperor Xian and wanted to accept this Emperor Xian as a scholar, so he sent Jian Shuo to do this matter quickly. I thought of Liu Xie, and I thought of the establishment of the medical department promised Hua Tuo. While secretly sighing that there are so many debts, he picked up his pen and wrote a note on the proposal to establish a medical department, and waited for the morning to hand it over.
After writing the recital, he thought about it again and made sure that there was nothing missing. Only then did he go out to Huang Xing's house to find Ma Jun, he also asked Ma Jun to test the technology of liquor distillation, to study automatic looms, the matter of soap is simple, it is estimated that there will be no problem after a few tests, and there are really a lot of things for Ma Jun.
He has been to Huang Xing's residence, which is the courtyard of an ordinary person's house, Yang Wei walked through the downtown and walked into a narrow and deep alley, and Huang Xing's house is in this small alley. There was a luxurious carriage parked at the mouth of the alley, and Yang Wei secretly wondered how there were still dignitaries who came to this poor man's place.
As soon as he walked to the gate of Huang Xing's courtyard, he heard a familiar voice inside: "Chengyan, if you don't make this fairy sound box for me today, I won't leave." This voice Yang Wei was extremely familiar, because he had just heard it at the city gate, and it was Zhang Wen's voice. This made Yang Wei extremely surprised, how did this Zhang Wen come here, and it seemed that he was very familiar with Huang Xing.
Alas, wait, he didn't call Huang Xing, he called Chengyan, could it be Huang Xing's character? Huang Xing, Huang Chengyan! Ahhh Huang Chengyan seems to be a generation of Confucians! The biggest thing he did seemed to be to accept Brother Liang as his son-in-law. )
