Chapter 68: Affection in the Letter
These days, Qingyuan County as a whole is quite calm.
According to Hou Ji's words, it was that the Chen Dynasty was too low-key.
Few people know that the Chen Dynasty has left the city, and the people in Beijing still think that the Chen Dynasty is in the Xiangfu on Kuishou Street and enjoys the victory of the Great Dynasty Meeting.
Chen Chao just wanted to do this, while the others hadn't reacted yet.
Silently develop, and then quietly amaze everyone!
Chen Chao didn't need to worry too much about the affairs of Qingshan County, where the cement plant had already entered the mass production stage, although the supply of cement would always exceed demand.
But these are not problems, the second, third and even the fourth and fifth cement plants are under construction intensively and will be completed by the end of the month.
By that time, cement production will increase exponentially.
The plan of the early Chen Dynasty was to build a strong defense line with cement around the counties around the capital, which was of great significance for future wars.
Even if several countries go to war in the future, the army of Daji is defeated and retreats, and the army of the enemy country is approaching the city, but if they want to break through the defense line of the capital, they have to weigh it.
See if their bows and arrows and catapults are strong, or if the walls made of cement mixed with masonry are hard!
As an important strategic material, the Chen Dynasty must firmly grasp it in his hands.
A few days ago, the Chen Dynasty issued another important directive, that is, to start rebuilding the country's official roads, all using new cement grouts to harden the road surface.
If you want to be rich, build roads first.
If you want to be strong, you have to build roads first!
As for those big officials in the capital who want cement to build houses, two words:
No way!
Now every bag of cement produced by the cement factory, Chen Chao strictly controls the whereabouts of the cement to ensure that the money is spent on the cutting edge.
In addition to cement, there is another thing in Qingshan County, which is where Chen Chao will settle down in the future!
That's gunpowder!
For this reason, Chen Chao left his most trusted Han Lao in Qingshan County and secretly planned a gunpowder factory.
Gunpowder will be a big killer in the future war, Chen Chao doesn't want others to have this kind of thing, so its production, packaging, storage, have carried out a series of strictest secrecy, responsible for making them is Long Wuwei, a group of people hidden in the shadows, Long Wuwei after shuffling, there will be no more traitors.
Thinking about it now, I was extremely lucky at the beginning.
If Scarface was not greedy, they would defect with gunpowder, and Chen Chao would have no way to take them, but they wanted everything, gunpowder and Chen Chao's head wanted both, and finally they were caught and arrested.
The affairs of Qingshan County do not need Chen Chao to worry about, what he is most worried about now is where to get money?
Although there are many orders for distilled spirits, it takes time for the sake to be brewed.
These days, Chen Chao thought about it carefully and felt that if he only relied on the export of distilled spirits, the speed of making money was still too slow.
So, Chen Chao didn't mind going down to do business in person!
In his previous life, as the big boss of a listed company, Chen Chao was proficient in various ways and rules of doing business, but if he wanted to make quick money and make a lot of money in a short period of time, he still had to make ideas from those who had money.
Chen Chao planned that in addition to sealing some of the wine jars and shipping them to several countries for sale, he also needed to leave a lot of inventory to sell in Daji.
Wine is really not a good thing, drunk and misguided, but now it is a cash cow in the hands of Chen Chao.
These wines will appear at various top-level dinners in the capital in the future, and they will be sold at a very high price, provided that they work well.
However, it is too early to think about this, Nanshan Distillery has not yet been done, and it will take at least two months to make wine, and it will have to be postponed for a month to appear at the top dinner in Beijing.
Nanshan Distillery has started construction, the preliminary work is mainly to empty the residents near Nanshan, move them to other places, this is easy to do, just give them money, after An Laotou went back to shout, eight or nine out of ten farmers are willing to move out, and even they have a very high enthusiasm to come to work in the winery, although they are some old men and women and children, but it is better than no one.
Chen Chao fulfilled his promise, and they became workers in the winery, and their remuneration was paid for half a month, and they got more for their work.
In addition, in the past few days, when Chen Chao was wandering around Nanshan, he accidentally saw many young people who came back with their families on the road.
Chen Chao smiled and did not speak.
Who wants to leave their homeland these days?
Two days ago, after preliminary statistics, the number of workers in Nanshan Distillery reached more than 2,000, but there were fewer masters who could make wine.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, within half a month, the winery was built.
After that, it was time to make the heavenly pot, install the equipment for brewing, and truckloads of grain were successively pulled to the little-known Nanshan Mountain, where they were poured into the fermentation tank for fermentation.
The brewing process was carried out in an orderly manner, and it was only a matter of time before the sake was produced, and at this time, the people who were still waiting to see the joke chose to shut up.
This foreign master from the capital, he doesn't talk about martial arts.
Come on really!
……
It was a cool day.
Under the grape trellis, Chen Chao did not practice calligraphy again, but on a whim, he was ready to write a letter.
This letter, of course, was sent to Baiyunguan Song Qingwan.
Although the Baiyun Temple was not far from Nanshan and could be reached in an hour, Chen Chao still decided to write a letter.
Letters, from the very beginning of their invention, were used to communicate thoughts and feelings.
He had a lot of things to say to Song Qingwan in his heart.
Some words are very and difficult to say to your face.
But in the letter, he said that he would not take care of it so much.
Dipping in ink, laying paper, and driving away Hou Ji, the person who tried to peek, Chen Chao took a deep breath and began to put pen to paper:
"Seeing the letter is like a face, showing the letter and feeling comfortable.
Madam, after a long day, my husband doesn't think about tea and dinner, and I can't sleep at night. Recently, I have lost more than a few pounds, and I don't know if I have any disease?
What disease? Madame, you know what?
I don't know why, I've been dreaming of you in my dreams lately, and I dreamed that my wife gave birth to two big fat boys, chubby and round...... We sat on the roof at night, holding hands and looking at the stars, growing old together.
Everything is fine with me here, the arrangement is well organized, Madame doesn't have to worry.
I am very satisfied with this temporary manor, the view is good, and the lady can come and see it when she has time.
Nanshan Distillery has started, the workers are full of enthusiasm, I believe that it will soon be able to produce wine, but what to name the wine, I am in trouble for a while, how about calling Moutai? In fact, the name Wuliangye is also quite good......
Madame give me an opinion?
After the wine comes out, Madame must come and taste it, I don't like to drink, but I drink with Madame, I am very happy, I can drink as much as I want, it is best if both of you are drunk, and it is good to do things at night.
Let's just write so much, mainly Hou Ji, who actually leaned on the crack of the door to peek......
Finally, I simply wrote a poem and gave it to my wife, comparing my affection for my wife:
The clouds are clever, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man is dark. As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world.
Tenderness is like water, the best period is like a dream, and you can endure the return of the Magpie Bridge. If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight? ”
