After the business in the county was on the right track, Zhao Chongyang handed over "Journey to the West" to a storyteller to continue, and he himself was ready to take Qian Xiao'an and ten guards to Anpeng to see the newly built village. Due to the complicated situation and difficult conditions in the countryside, it was not suitable for the four little girls to live, and after doing work, they also agreed to stay in the county seat. In order not to make them too bored, Zhao Chongyang selected more than 40 people who were good at financial management from the women rescued from Wild Boar Ridge and the female slaves bought from Xinyang and other places, and asked Fang Baihua and Pang Qiuxia to teach them arithmetic and train financial personnel for the Huaixi Branch. Selected Tongwenmo and have a certain ability to do business, learn business with Liu Qiaoling and Qiong Ying, and the textbook is the original speech of Zhao Chongyang when he was in Nanjing.

On this day, when they were about to leave, Wu Song and Shi Jiyun brought a seventeen or eighteen-year-old descendant to find Zhao Chongyang. Shi Zhutou stepped forward and said to Zhao Chongyang: "Zhao Gongzi, this is the dog Shi Xiu, who ranks third in the clan. Because he likes fists and feet since he was a child, and he is good at being upright, the road is uneven......"

"When the road is uneven, you have to draw your sword to help. And fight with the opponent, desperate for himself, known as the desperate Saburo Shixiu. I also like to make friends with heroes and heroes on the rivers and lakes. "What I said is right, Zhao Chongyang asked with a smile.

Shi Xiu's eyes widened as if looking at a monster at Zhao Chongyang: "It turns out that Zhao Gongzi knows all about me?" ”

Zhao Chongyang said in his heart: Your things are all remembered in "Water Margin", and I knew it when I was seven or eight years old. But he replied: "Third Brother Shi is a celebrity in the rivers and lakes, I have already heard of your deeds." ”

Shi Jiyun took over the conversation and continued: "He went out to play some time ago, and came back yesterday to meet his second brother Wu, and the two had similar interests and hit it off at first sight. said that Shi Bao, Pang Wanchun, Bao Daoyi, etc. in the Zhao Gongzi Chamber of Commerce were all big heroes like Second Brother Wu, and their martial arts were strong, so they wanted to find something to do in the Chamber of Commerce, and by the way, they also learned some skills from them.

Zhao Chongyang knows: The desperate Saburo Shixiu in "Water Margin" is a loyal and upright person on the same level as Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and Ruan's three heroes, and is the most loyal to friends and brothers, but he is assertive, unlike Li Kui and Hua Rong, who are not clear about right and wrong, black and white, and loyal to Song Jiang. Such a talent is a big hero who is hard to buy, a real hero, and hurriedly responded in his heart: "I have already heard of the name of Third Brother Shi, but I hate that I have no chance to get acquainted, and now that I am willing to join our Chamber of Commerce, I can't ask for it." I'm going to go down to the shed to do errands here, if the third brother has nothing to do, he will go with him, so that he can get acquainted with Shi Bao, Bao Daoyi, Pang Wanchun, Nangong Yongjie and other heroes. ”

In this way, they added another horse, plus Shi Xiu, a total of three people, and set off with ten escorts. "By the way, I forgot to introduce to the third brother, this is Qian Xiaoan and the second brother Qian, and they will be friends and brothers who will work together in the future. As for cutting martial arts, next spring or summer, Second Brother Wu and I will go north to Tangyin County, Xiangzhou, to visit our master Zhou Tong, and then you will also go, let his old man accept you as a registered disciple, pass on a set of work to you, and let you enter the ranks of first-class masters in martial arts. At that time, with your martial arts foundation, you can fight with Second Brother Wu and others for more than thirty or forty times. ”

"If you can get the guidance of the world's number one master, you will naturally not be able to ask for it, so I will thank Brother Zhao first." Shi Xiu said excitedly.

Next, Zhao Chongyang introduced the development process of Wantong Chamber of Commerce to Shi Xiu, as well as several major industries: first, the catering industry, which launched stir-fried vegetables, steamed vegetables, and seasoning spicy sauce, soy sauce, and vinegar. The second is the liquor industry: mainly fairy drunken liquor and rice wine. The third is the textile industry, all kinds of fast spinning machines and looms, especially machines that use water energy to spin and weave. The third is the iron and steel and simple manufacturing industry, smelting iron and steel, manufacturing agricultural tools, cooking utensils, knives, weapons, and also manufacturing crossbows, artillery, flintlock pistols, revolvers and other secret weapons. Fourth, the valuables industry, perfume, soap, soap, water jade, of which water jade is the most confidential industry. Fifth, the construction and home industry: cement, used for repairing houses, building roads, etc., exquisite clay paint furniture. Among them, the fifth industry has not yet been fully rolled out.

Zhao Chongyang told Shi Xiu that the catering industry has broad prospects for development, and is currently preparing to vigorously develop the fast catering industry, including steamed buns, porridge, soybean milk, fritters, noodles, and mixed wontons. There are also various kinds of hot pot. The purpose of Wantong Chamber of Commerce to Anpeng is to dig out trona, as long as this kind of thing is enough, it can make a large amount of water jade, soap, soap, soap, only with these three things, you can also make a rich country. Therefore, soda ash is equivalent to real money for the Wantong Chamber of Commerce.

Zhao Chongyang knew that Shi Xiu was not a person who liked gossip, and almost told him the purpose of this trip. And Shi Xiu was also very excited when he saw Zhao Chongyang treating him as a confidant friend like Wu Song and Qian Xiaoan.

The county seat is about ninety miles away from Shibao's station, and it takes five or six hours to ride a horse. At that time, Anpeng was far away from the county seat, sparsely populated, and there was only one Zhoujiazhai nearby, with about five or six hundred people. Most of the villagers are surnamed Zhou, and Baozheng (village head) is called Zhou Dingjiang. After Shi Bao and the others arrived here, because of the notices issued by the county and the greetings of the errands, the people of Zhoujiazhai did not come to look for trouble. Of course, in fact, they are not afraid of finding trouble Shi Bao, they have more than 800 people, most of them are young adults, and the village of five or six hundred people in Zhoujiazhai has a maximum of 150 young adults.

They found an open field five miles away from Zhoujiazhai, a place close to the mountains and water, because it was close to the Anpeng Basin, where natural soda ash is produced. This place is so open, the Zhou family also tried to open this place into fertile land, opened a few acres of paddy fields, and soon after planting the seedlings, all of them died, so they gave up here. Of course, they don't know that the terrain here is low-lying, and the soil is too alkaline to be cultivated.

When Zhao Chongyang was in college in another time and space, he interned in Anpeng and Wucheng, so he knew where soda ash was produced. It's just that this natural soda ash is buried dozens of meters underground, and it is not easy to mine it. Zhao Chongyang stood on the edge of the Anpeng Basin, and a deep sense of powerlessness hit his heart.

Zhao Chongyang thought that if he wanted to solve the problem in front of him, he had to use some special means and mysterious powers. Zhao Chongyang thought of the piece of jade on his body, because his parents in this life thought that it was brought by him and could not let outsiders know, so he made a bag for him to pack and put it in the bag of his underwear.

But about the origin of this piece of jade, he really can't remember clearly, only that he often carries this piece of jade with him in another time and space, so he estimates that this should be his ancestral thing in another time and space. But sometimes, in the dead of night, when Zhao Chongyang occasionally touches it, he always has an intuition in his heart: this thing has traveled to this time and space with him, it must be a very unusual treasure, and it will definitely help his career in this time and space. Right! Only when it matters so do you study and use it. Zhao Chongyang made up his mind.

Zhao Chongyang believes that it has now reached a critical moment, and the time has come for this treasure to play a role. This kind of thing, according to Zhao Chongyang's analysis, should be a system with magical functions. Of course not, Zhao Chongyang decided to try it tonight.

Late at night on the second night of arriving at Anpeng, Zhao Chongyang took out the piece of green jade pei from the brocade bag, pricked his finger with a steel needle prepared in advance, and dripped a few drops of blood on it.

Zhao Chongyang suddenly thought that in another time and space, when he was a child, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, that is, the Qiqiao Festival, according to the customs of his hometown, he had to give children eggs to burn the fetus. This burning tire is particular: the child should be angry at the egg, and then the adult will rub the egg on the child from head to toe, and there can be no omission. Then there is a grandmother or grandmother, or other experienced and respected elderly women, take the rolled egg in their hands, the small end outward, the large end inward, and call the soul of the child to the egg, Gu said that the child who fell during the day, and the child who lived in nightmares at night, the soul will be frightened away, and the soul will be summoned back to the egg by shouting the soul, and the child will burn the egg and eat it, and the soul will return to the body, so that the child's life will be worry-free......

Influenced by this custom, Zhao Chongyang's ghost made a miracle, took a few breaths at the green jade pei, and then put it on his head and rolled it all over his body. He felt a slight change in the color of the green jade pei. After rolling for the first time, the green jade pei changed from green to bright yellow, and he continued to roll until the color no longer changed, and a voice sounded in his ears that only he could hear clearly: "The antique porcelain exchange system from the future world has been successfully opened." This system is exchanged every five years, as long as there are enough ancient knowledge and fine porcelain exchange, the system can help you complete a big thing that cannot be done in the world (except for killing). But there is one piece, and there are up to ten antique coins of different eras. ”

Zhao Chongyang said to the system: "I urgently need to take out the soda ash under the Anpeng Basin and ask for help." The scale is more than 30,000 catties per day. ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as the porcelain and fine products you collect reach the value of 100,000 yuan in the world, after the system is accepted, you can send a robot to dig two safe alkali wells for you that night, including the pulleys (rollers) that go down the well are installed for you, and fixed with a steel frame, and the steel rope is load-bearing. It can be used for dozens of people at a time, and can bear 20,000 catties of goods. As long as there are enough manpower, it is not a problem for a well to produce 100,000 catties of alkali a day. ”

Zhao Chongyang asked again: "When the system does not exchange antiques and porcelain, can I use it to store other materials?" ”

The system replied: "There is no problem, as long as it does not exceed 10,000 tons, it can be deposited." You just have to say silently in your heart: the system please store xx materials in your warehouse. ”

"In other words, the maximum storage capacity of the system is 10,000 tons?"

"You can understand that." After the system communication is completed, the green jade pei returns to its true color, and the system is automatically shut down.
