After the banquet, Zhao Chongyang and Qian Xiaoan stayed behind to discuss things with Duan Taigong and others, and the heroes said goodbye and returned to their residences. Since Fang Tianjie has become a coquettish guest of Duan Mansion, there is no reason to continue to live in the inn, Duan Taigong asked Duan Er and Duan Wu to accompany Fang Tianjie over to take the salute.

Fang Tianjie said that he lived in the inn so that he could protect the safety of the young master at any time. Zhao Chongyang told him, there is no need to brush off the kindness of your father-in-law, there are Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Gong Wang and others, and safety is not a problem. Fang Tianjie agreed to move into the inner courtyard.

Seeing that Fang Tianjie was so concerned about the safety of the Lord, Duan Taigong liked his loyalty and courage even more.

Next, Duan Taigong, Duan Da and Zhao Gongzi began to discuss the marriage of Duan Sanniang and Fang Tianjie.

Duan Taigong said: "Since it is our Duan family who took the initiative to set up a ring to compete and recruit relatives, we will not give a dowry this time." It is that the two parties negotiate an auspicious day and give the wedding to the two. ”

Zhao Chongyang said: "Recruiting relatives through martial arts competitions, you don't need a matchmaker, how can you do it without a dowry?" You can rest assured that before I went out, I brought the dowry with me, which is exactly the same as the dowry of my other wife's uncle, so as not to say that I am unfair as a brother-in-law in the future. It's just that the Fang family is also a well-known wealthy family in Jiangnan, and the wedding must be presided over by the head of the Fang family, Tianjie's uncle Fang La, and his parents will attend in person, which will be complete. Therefore, tomorrow I will send fast horses back to Jiangnan, and ask them to go north to Nanyang immediately, today is March 12, April 24 is a good day, then you will send Sister Sanniang to Nanyang Wanmao Mall a few days in advance, and we will hold a wedding for the two of them in Nanyang. As for the dowry, we will send it to the inner courtyard tomorrow, I don't know what the princess thinks? ”

"So good, according to your opinion." Duan Taigong made the final decision. After a pause, Duan Taigong continued: "As for sending a fast horse to Jiangnan to inform Fang Tianjie's uncle and parents, it can be handed over to the beggar gang to complete. Because the beggar state owes me a favor: when the Wang gang leader went to Western Xia, he was hit by a chronic poison dart, and on the way back to Xiangyang from Huangnigang, the poison began to spread, and seeing that his life was not guaranteed, I took the Duan family caravan to rescue him on the way home. I immediately used internal force to help him force out the poisonous blood, and it happened that the doctor An Shen found a herb from Huashan and passed through here, and was kept in the village by my father, so he used the antidote to wash the wound for him, and used several medicines to take it internally and externally, so that his body could get better. In this way, the Wang gang leader finally picked up a life, and when he left Duanjiazhuang, he gave me and Doctor An a token of the beggar gang, saying that with this token, the beggar gang could do one thing. The beggars helped the flying pigeon spread the book all over China, and within five or six days, the text message could be transmitted to every place in the Great Song Dynasty. I have the contact information of the rudder in Xiangyang, Nanyang and other places, as long as I give them the text message and address. ”

Zhao Chongyang said: "Since there is such a rapid way to pass the news, then ask the beggars to help complete it, and thank them for ten times the money, and at the same time ask the Taigong to send a letter to the Wang gang master, our Wantong Chamber of Commerce is willing to cooperate with the beggars for a long time, and in the future, as long as you help us pass on the information once, you can give ten times of hard work." In fact, the beggar gang can operate it as a profession and a means of generating income. ”

After this incident, Wang Gang Leader really accepted Zhao Chongyang's proposal and was willing to deliver a messenger to the Wantong Chamber of Commerce at any time, and if it was a small valuable, he could also send a special person to pass it in sections. In this way, there is a quick way to communicate between the branches of the Vantone Chamber of Commerce and the general association and its subordinate offices. That's a story for later, so I won't say much here.

The next day, Duan Taigong and his three sons saw the bride price worth more than 200,000 yuan, and the amazement in their hearts was even more indescribable, and they were more and more surprised by the strong financial resources of Zhao Chongyang and the Wantong Chamber of Commerce......

Due to the other party's understanding of the financial resources of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, and Fang Tianjie, the fast son-in-law of Chenglong, beat the side drum, on the second day of accepting the bridal gift, Duan Taigong took the initiative to inform Zhao Chongyang of the Duan family's territory, personnel, and business routes, saying that from today onwards, all the staff of Duanjiazhuang will join the Wantong Chamber of Commerce and are willing to obey the unified arrangement of Zhao Chongyang and the Wantong Chamber of Commerce.

Zhao Chongyang said that this year's corn planting season has passed, and after this year's summer grain is harvested, the fields will be changed to double cropping. In autumn, the paddy fields are dried and planted with wheat. Wheat is harvested in the soil and continue to plant wheat or rape, three nests are empty, the vacant place is planted with beans, the place where the beans are harvested before the Qingming Festival in the spring is planted with a new grain called corn, after the corn is planted for more than 20 days, the wheat is harvested, and the wheat is harvested and soybeans or sweet potatoes are planted, so that the degree of land utilization is doubled, coupled with reasonable dense planting, fertilization on time, the yield is greatly increased, so that the annual income of one acre of land will be more than three times the original. Of course, planting two seasons per acre will give you more life, and the people who farm the land will have to work harder, so there must be a ploughing ox on 15 acres to 20 temple land. I will give you 200,000 yuan to use first, and deduct it from the cost in the future. Tell the tenants that there is a group of ten households, and choose a group leader. With two cows, other families pay 300 yuan a year to feed the cows. The original family that fed the cattle was converted into money to the original owner, and the cattle were owned by the Chamber of Commerce, and the right to use them belonged to the whole group. Only half of the income from farming is paid to the Chamber of Commerce, but you must obey the arrangement of the Chamber of Commerce, tell you to plant how you want, and you can plant what you want when you are told.

As for the arrangement of the trade routes, the Duan family temporarily let the Duan family continue to run the trade routes to southern Shaanxi and Hanzhong, increase the scale, 300 carriages at a time, and bring all the goods of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, and the turnover of one time can reach hundreds of thousands, and the specific arrangements will be made to contact Liu Erye and Shi Bao and others in the future......

In the two days of staying in Duanjiazhuang, Zhao Chongyang revised the method of raising pigs with wine trough as the main feed written two days ago, and combined with the disinfection of the enclosure in later generations, insecticidal pigs, preventing swine fever, feeding pigs with green fodder, adding rapeseed cake and soybean cake with oil in the distiller's grains, adding bone meal (pig bones, beef bones, sheep bones, poultry bones are roasted and browned and crushed), wheat husk, corn flour, rice bran, etc., the proportion of the above additives sows, seed pigs, pigs and large pigs is appropriately changed, and the enclosures in spring, summer and autumn pay attention to ventilation and appropriate wilding. In winter, pay attention to the warmth of the enclosure and other details are given. After the finalization of the draft, it was named "On the Breeding of Distiller's Grains Pigs", and after returning to Nanyang, it was printed into a booklet and distributed to the liquor workshops of the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, expanding the pig farms under the liquor workshop, and officially becoming independent from the liquor workshop. Zhao Chongyang's wife and two uncles had nothing to do anyway, so they formed a pig inspection team and took some female slaves to various places by car and boat to inspect, so that they could travel everywhere and have fun.
