Yang Peng was chatting with his master Lin Qing'er in his official hall today, Lin Qing'er put on the reading glasses that Yang Peng made for himself, and now he can fully see Yang Peng's appearance, Lin Qing'er said to Yang Peng, "I didn't expect that my apprentice is not bad?" is worthy of Yang Tong's dead girl, when will you get married, I can also help you take care of the child. Otherwise, I'd be idle here, and I wouldn't have anything to do. ”

Yang Peng said to Lin Qing'er, "Master, I see that I am waiting, and we will talk about it when we fight with the Khitans, now I have no confidence in my heart, master, you see that we are now in a city." The population has reached 80,000, and I am under a lot of pressure, and the master is waiting for a year. "Yang Peng's main thing is that Yang Tong is still young, and he doesn't want to get married yet, so it's good to be free and easy.

"Report." A soldier said at the door, and Yang Peng said, "Come in, what's the matter?" "Liu Zhiliang and they are back, and there are a few guests, saying that the people from the Yang family are here and have arrived at the city gate," Lin Qing'er said, "When did you say that you let people go to Bianjing, why don't I know, you slippery head, just want to see if the master's joke is not." Now that you've grown up, you don't take the master in your eyes anymore, see if I don't kill your little slippery head, haha. ”

Yang Peng said, "Master go, let's go to greet our family together, looking at our eighth sister, ninth sister and them, haha" said and took the master's hand and walked to the gate.

Along the way, Yang Bamei was like a curious baby, and kept asking Liu Zhiliang this question, that question, Liu Zhiliang didn't dare to offend this eldest lady, the ninth sister was frightened by the scenery here as soon as she came out of Cangzhou, Cangzhou to Tianjing New City sixty miles of road Yang Peng all made cement roads, and the road was forty meters wide. Trees are planted next to it. Next to it are green rice paddies, and the villages are all red brick houses. At this time, the rice of the Great Song Dynasty was produced in the south, and after the Yangtze River, it was not producing rice, and the ninth sister didn't know that this was rice at this time, and now hundreds of thousands of acres of fields to the south of Tianjing New Town were Yang Peng's, and he met Haoqiang to make trouble. They were all given to Yang Peng.

Now there are probably nearly thousands of families who help Yang Peng farm the land, and Yang Peng does not charge their land rent, but the grain planted must be sold to Yang Peng, if you sell the grain to other people Yang Peng will take back the field, this is a hard condition, and the main source of the current Great Song Dynasty is to rely on the land rent of the peasants. There is a land that is not called rent, and there has been no such good thing for thousands of years. Of course those ordinary people are willing, and besides, the city lord's purchase of grain is much higher than that outside. Only fools will sell grain to other people.

If you don't have any money, you can borrow money from the lord of the castle, and there is no interest yet. Now the common people have become Yang Peng's diehards. The ninth sister pulled Qin Yuefang and kept asking questions about Tianjing New Town, and whether there was a knife like that given to the Yang family, Qin Yuefang was the second batch of people who came down from Yang Peng, and she was also a diehard fan of Yang Peng, what Yang Peng said was what she said, she never doubted Yang Peng, this way can make Liu Zhiliang and Qin Yuefang tired, the main thing is to keep explaining, and the mouth is dry. Huyan Chijin and Du Jin'e also looked at the scenery in front of them curiously, they had never seen such a road. The two of them became more and more curious about Yang Peng, and it took them one day to complete the road from Cangzhou to Tianjing New Town.

When she entered the city, Yang Bamei was even more curious, because the houses here have at least two floors, and the highest one has five floors, where is Bianjing comparable. The prosperity is no less than that of Bianjing, the main thing is that there are no beggars here, which is incomparable to Bianjing, and now the streets of Bianjing are full of beggars, and the war has done too much harm to the people. In order to survive, it is also a common phenomenon that only by going to the big city to ask for food can you save your life.

The group came to the official hall of Tianjing New Town, and at this time they saw Yang Peng and his master waiting for Liu Zhiliang and his party at the door, Liu Zhiliang saw Yang Peng and said, "Big brother, we are back," Liu Zhiliang They have been gone for two months, Liu Zhiliang said that his eyes were red. Qin Yuefang also said to Yang Peng: "Big brother, we're back." This is Sister Yang. This is Sister Yang Jiu, these two are. "I haven't waited for Qin Yuefang to finish speaking. Huyan Chijin and Du Jin'e walked up to Lin Qing'er and knelt down and said, "Daughter-in-law to meet my mother-in-law, mother-in-law is sorry, I haven't fulfilled my filial piety in the past few years, please punish my mother-in-law." ”

Yang Qi and Yang Ying also knelt in front of Lin Qing'er and said, "Meet Auntie, Eighth Sister, Ninth Sister is polite." Lin Qing'er's eyes were red, and she hurriedly stepped forward to pull them up and said, "It's all good boys, get up, come in and talk to me, come." Lin Qing'er ignored Yang Peng, pulled Huyan Chijin and Du Jin'e, and they walked into the official hall. Yang Peng also understands the master's approach, after all, it has been ten years.

On the day of the execution of the thief, the people of Tianjing New City surrounded the execution ground on three floors inside and three layers outside. The people all stood on Yang Peng's side, throwing mud at the criminals kneeling on the ground, scolding. "Eating inside and out, that's how it ends!" "It is a capital crime to sell the formula to the Khitan dog with the city lord's monthly money!" "If the city lord has no money, can he give us such a high monthly money?"

Of course, there were also some workers who were shocked by Yang Peng's thunderous methods, and looked at the death row prisoner with some fear in their eyes, and did not say a word. That Huang Shu was escorted to the top of the execution ground before he woke up like a dream, kowtowing like pounding garlic. "The untouched people know that they are wrong, the adults spare the lives of the little ones, and the little ones promise not to say anything in the future!" It's a pity that Huang Shu's repentance came too late. When the time came, thirteen musketeers walked up to the condemned prisoner, put their guns against the prisoner's heart, and struck the trigger.

After shooting and killing several employees who ate inside and out, Yang Peng re-recruited nine new workers. However, the new workers were not recruited to the glass workshops, but to the textile factories and soap workshops. As for the vacancies in the glass workshop, Yang Peng selected nine long-term and honest old employees from the salt factory and the soap workshop to supplement the glass workshop, and then let the new employees take over their shifts.

Yang Peng's operation is to leave good jobs for dedicated old employees and encourage the enthusiasm of old employees - Yang Peng decided to increase the monthly salary of employees in the glass workshop to three or two a month. Glass workshops are profitable, and confidentiality is crucial. If you don't increase the monthly salary of employees, it will be easier to be bought by outside pretenders, so Yang Peng wants to increase his salary. And offering such a high-paying job to veteran employees can improve the morale of the entire workforce.

Ding Youdi performed prominently in this leak incident, Yang Peng promoted him to the head of the first kiln, and usually still bought alkaline noodles, and supervised and managed other workers by the way, with a monthly salary of four taels. Yang Peng killed nine leakers, and the other workers were shocked, and they were more careful in their work. Ding Youdi and Cai Huaishui also did a good job of supervising the work, and the secrecy work of the glass workshop was strengthened a lot.

Zhang Jiaofang looked at the pennant of "Specializing in Presbyopia" that was waving in the wind, and felt a little apprehensive. It was the second time he had come to the door of this shop, and he was attracted by the few big words on the pennant. "Cure presbyopia", isn't that his gospel? Zhang is now fifty-one years old, and his glasses are not good. Because of presbyopia, the account is almost unclear, and the account book is held far away every day, barely able to guess the records on the account, and often guesses wrong because it is too far away to see clearly. In the past few years, in the owner's tea shop, he has become more and more unpopular with the owner - who will be treated in the account room that is invisible to the eyes? If this continues, the owner will dismiss him in less than half a year.

Although the proprietor has not been able to hire a suitable bookkeeper to replace him, how can he be an old blind man who always makes mistakes? Zhang has a son and a daughter, both of whom are married. If Zhang lost this one-tael-eight-dollar monthly money account errand, he could only take his wife to live with his son. But the son helps people boil medicine in the medicine store, and he only has a monthly income of one or two or four yuan, and there is a pair of children to raise below, where can he afford to support the old man and the old woman? This eye has spent the errand of losing the account room, and I am afraid that the whole family will go hungry in the future.

So at this time, Zhang Jiaofang saw this pennant that "specializes in treating presbyopia", and couldn't help but hesitate for a long time. ——The Gao family store has always sold goods, and there is neither Langzhong nor medicinal materials, how can it treat presbyopia? Isn't this blatant deception? However, according to the reputation of the Gao family, the Gao family, who has done so many new things, does not seem to be so openly scammed, and it seems that the Gao family has a little possibility that they can really help themselves cure their presbyopia.

Now in Cangzhou City, the reputation of the Gao family has grown. This Gao family not only has soap, which is a practical thing, but also produces exquisite fine cloth from Tianjing New Town, and the Gao family has cement that is cheaper and easier to use than Sanhe soil, as well as crystal clear glass wine utensils. The Gao family's new gadgets seem to be endless, and a new thing pops up every once in a while.

That is, the sign of the Gao family's shop says "Specializing in the treatment of presbyopia", and the account office will have a little belief. Otherwise, if you ask him to go to a shop that sells goods and find someone to cure his presbyopia, he will definitely think you are a liar and a madman.

Anyway, go in and listen! If it is a fraud, just turn around and leave. Although I am old, I have kept accounts for a lifetime, and I can still tell the difference between the scam, right? Zhang was finally impressed by the goodwill of the Gao family and made up his mind to enter the Gao family's shop. Unlike other Gaojia stores, this new store has a lot of doors, except for three small servants, one shopkeeper, and no customers. As soon as Zhang entered the door, a warm little guy greeted him and said loudly: "Old man, are you here to cure presbyopia?" ”

Zhang settled down, took a step back, and carefully looked at this little guy up and down, only to see that the little guy had big eyes and big faces, not like a liar, so he nodded and said: "Yes, come to cure presbyopia!" Can you cure this? "Bao Zhi!" The little guy replied enthusiastically. The words of the little guy made Zhang Jiaofang a little more vigilant, and secretly said that this Gao family store was really a scam. Is there such a divine doctor in this world? Can it cure presbyopia? Then those Lang Zhong who took the pulse and opened the prescription were not ashamed to crash to death? What's more, in this store, I didn't see any medicine cabinet silver needles?

Zhang glanced at the Gao family's shop, and only saw the decoration of the carved beams and paintings, and really didn't even see a medicine cabinet in Langzhong. Zhang Shufang was vigilant in his heart, sneered, sat down by himself, sat on a rattan chair at the entrance of the store, and asked coldly, "How do you treat it?" "We cure with glasses!" The little guy said loudly. "Wait, I'll go get you glasses to try!" Glasses, what's that?

It seemed that because there had been no customer for a long time, the little guy was very excited when he saw the account room, and ran to the back of the counter to get a box. He ran very fast when he ran past, and bumped into a wicker chair on the way, causing the shopkeeper sitting behind him to curse loudly. However, the shopkeeper didn't seem to be really angry, probably Zhang Ledger was his first guest today, and he also looked at Zhang Ledger with an expectant expression.

The little guy slowed down when he came carrying the box, slowly walked to the front of the bookkeeper, and opened the wooden box. The box was wrapped in brocade, and on it hung more than twenty pairs of colorless glass squares, yes, glass. Zhang Jifang had seen a glass wine glass in the owner's house, which was this kind of colorless glass. In the box, there are more than 20 pairs of colorless glass squares framed in pairs of wooden frames.

Tianjing New City is good at producing glass, but can you cure presbyopia with this? The bookkeeper asked, "Is this the glasses?" The servant replied, "Yes, how many years have you been old?" Hearing this inquiry, Zhang raised his head and thought about it, and said, "I'm afraid it's been four or five years, and these two years are particularly serious!" The little guy took out a pair of glasses, handed them to the account room, and said, "Try this, three hundred degrees!" Zhang was stunned, looked at the little guy and asked, "How to try?" ”

The little guy smiled embarrassedly and said, "You see I'm all excited and confused, how do you know how to try it the first time you come?" I'll put it on for you! Zhang was about to answer, but the little guy handed over the pair of glass pieces to himself, stuck the wooden frame on the ears of Zhang Zhang, put the beam in the middle of the glasses against the root of Zhang Zhang's nose, and blocked the two pieces of glass in front of Zhang Zhang's eyes.

Zhang was stunned, a little unable to react, and said, "What are you doing here?" "Cure your presbyopia!" The little guy said loudly. He raised a copy of "Spring and Autumn" in his hand, turned to the first page, raised it to the front of the account room, and said loudly: "Old man, now you can read the words on this book through the glass, is it clear?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang squinted his eyes and looked at the book "Spring and Autumn" through the glass. Strangely, through these two pieces of glass, Zhang Ledger really vaguely saw the contents of the first page of the book. It's still not clear, but it's much clearer than when I didn't wear glasses.

These glasses are really useful! It turned out that the Gao family used this glass to treat presbyopia, no wonder they didn't see Langzhong. Zhang looked at the store with glasses on, and then he saw that the decoration of this shop was gorgeous, and it didn't look like a scam.

I'm worried about it. "It's clearer, it's still a little vague!" Zhang looked at the little guy's glasses box with some expectation, and looked at the more than twenty pairs of glasses inside. "Then try 350 degrees again!" The little guy took off the glasses from his nose and put a new pair of glasses on him.

"It's even more confusing, it's not as good as just now!" "Then try 250 degrees!" The servant took out a new pair of glasses from the box. "See! See! Zhang was a little excited, and stood up with a loud shout. Wearing this pair of "250-degree" glasses, Zhang Zhang's account room immediately saw all the words on the first page of the "Spring and Autumn" half a step away. How amazing is that? This presbyopia, which had tormented him for several years, was conquered by these two small pieces of glass, allowing Zhang to see the words on the book clearly!

"It works! It's really useful! Zhang Shufang slapped his thigh, took the spring and autumn book from the little girl, turned it page by page, and found that he could read every word in the book clearly. Zhang believes in his eyes, this is really clear, and it is definitely not a deception. With these glasses, wouldn't I be able to help the owner keep accounts again. I kept my errand of one or two or eight dollars?

The new thing in Tianjing New City is magical! The little guy asked Zhang to try 225 degrees and 275 degrees, and finally found that 250 degrees still worked. Zhang took the 250-degree glasses happily, looked left and right, and asked happily, "How much is a pair of these eyes?" ”

"Ten taels of silver!" Hearing this, Zhang was stunned. Ten taels of silver, not cheap! It's worth half a year's monthly money! But in any case, it's better than losing an errand, isn't it? After thinking about it, Zhang asked the bookkeeper, "Can it be cheaper?" "Uncle, this is our cost price, it can't be cheaper, this is made of colorless glass?" Can it be cheaper? But don't worry, if your presbyopia is more serious in the future, take 250 degree glasses to exchange for more advanced glasses, we don't charge money, free change! ”

Zhang Ledger still has some savings, and when he heard this, Zhang Ledger made up his mind to buy him a pair! The goodwill of the Gao family is here, and if you change it, you can change it, and buying a pair of glasses is equivalent to getting rid of the problem of presbyopia in this life, and you can always be a bookkeeper until you can't walk.

Zhang was anxious to put on his glasses to make accounts, and went to ask the owner to continue to hire him, and said, "I'll go home and get the money, when will you close!" The little guy smiled and said, "You go slowly!" No hurry! You're our first guest, you don't come back, we don't close today! ”

In the middle of March of the first year of Xianping, the city wall of Tianjing New City was brick-wrapped. The three bread bricks of the city wall share 2.88 million pieces of green bricks and 580,000 catties of cement. The brick-wrapped wall has a circumference of 15,000 meters, a height of 5 meters, and a width of 3 meters. The city wall was built with a horse face every 20 meters, and there were 150 horse faces in total. There is a buttress every meter and a half, and there are 2,000 buttresses in total.

The top of the city wall is wide enough to run horses. There are thirty-six machine crossbow platforms on the city wall, and each wall has the same thirty-six machine crossbows. The built city wall is straight and majestic, very beautiful, making the whole Tianjing New Town look very safe. Whether it is a salt factory, a soap factory, a glass factory, a cement factory, a steel factory, a furniture factory, or a private house and military camp in Tianjing New Town, they are now under the protection of the towering city walls. After repairing the city walls, Yang Peng asked this group of masons to continue to build villas and provide residences for the expanding Tianjing New Town.

In the official hall of Tianjing New Town, Yang Peng sat under the master, Lin Qing'er asked the Yang family about the situation again, Yang Peng listened next to him, and did not interject, Yang Peng knew how precious the greeting at this time was, and Yang Peng didn't want to interrupt the good time at this moment.

After about an hour, Lin Qing'er said to Huyan Chijin and Du Jin'e, "This is my apprentice, named Yang Peng." Yang Peng, these two are your seventh sister-in-law, and these two are your eighth and ninth sisters," Yang Peng stood up and saluted Huyan Chijin and Du Jin'e and said, "Hello two sisters-in-law." I am the younger brother of the seventh brother, and I am also the younger brother of the two brothers. We are all a family," and then saluted Yang Qi and Yang Ying, and said, "Hello two sisters, I am your little brother Yang Peng, where do you want to play in Tianjing New Town, just look for me, whatever you want, as long as Xincheng has it, I will help you do it, haha." ”

Huyan Chijin and Du Jin'e stood up and also saluted Yang Peng and said, "Hello little uncle, I'm here to trouble you this time." Yang Jiumei stood up and said, "Little brother, I want a knife, the knife you sent to my house, okay." Yang Peng said, "Okay, there's no problem with this, I'll give you a gun." Two hundred meters can be killed and dealt with, how about the ninth sister? ”

Yang Bamei said, "Impossible. Even the bow and arrow didn't shoot that far, what kind of gun is so powerful! Lin Qing'er said, "Ninth sister, your brother is not lying, they are fighting here differently than we are." There is no need to fight with the Khitans first. Their flintlock pistols are powerful. Two hundred meters and one shot to kill an enemy, tomorrow ask your brother to take you to the barracks to see you. Your younger brother can kill 10,000 Khitans with 1,000 people, and there are not many casualties easily, and your brother's army is very strong. ”

Yang Bamei asked, "Auntie, what you said is true, we haven't heard of such a weapon, then I also want a gun like this, okay," Lin Qing'er said, "Why not, your younger brother is the city lord of a Tianjing New City, this city is his private property, do you say okay?" "Yang Jiumei's mouth has become O-shaped. looked at Yang Peng in surprise, just looked at Yang Peng like a monster. asked, "Brother, how old are you?" Why is it so powerful. Yang Peng said, "I am nineteen years old this year. It's not that I'm powerful, it's your aunt who is powerful, I'm his apprentice, where would I be without a master, my life was saved by the master, everything here is the master's. ”

Lin Qing'er said, "You little slippery head, you will coax your master to be happy, all of this is your own, I don't have that much ability, haha" Lin Qing'er also smiled happily. Huyan Chijin said: "This new city is full of things that we have not seen in Bianjing. Little uncle, you are too powerful, that is, the road from Cangzhou to you, we have never seen it, and the house you built is too high, Bianjing is not such a high house, and you can grow rice here, no one in Bianjing grows rice, there is a novelty everywhere here. I'm going to have to do some shopping these days. ”

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
