Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 18 Hu Biao is Here
Standing on the city wall, watching countless people holding simple weapons and constantly hitting the city wall with ferocious expressions, even if falling rocks, kerosene, and rolling logs kept smashing and burning people to death, and firecrackers kept killing people.They are still rushing up one after another.The mouth seemed to be shouting, they are hungry!They are very hungry!The scene in front of him terrified him.

In the distance, a group of people were pointing at the city wall around a large flag with Chuang characters written on it.Soon the people flooded the city walls like zombies.The good minister was eaten by the people on the spot, while Zhang Zongxian was squeezed off the city wall by the flow of people.The moment he fell off the city wall, he seemed to see Su'e lighting the entire county government with a torch.

Zhang Zongxian woke up the moment he touched the ground. Looking at Su'e who was sleeping beside him, he realized that he had a nightmare, but the dream was too real.It's so real that it seems like it's going to happen right away.Zhang Zongxian leaned over and kissed Su'e on the face.He got up and went to the study.

In the study, I kept flipping through the past life materials I recorded these days.I want to find a way to keep these people alive.

After reading and thinking, Zhang Zongxian summarized several plans based on the memory of his previous life.

First of all, get high-yield and drought-tolerant corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes as soon as possible.I also have to be promoted to govern Shaanxi.Otherwise, it would be difficult to promote, and the court received wheat, so it had to find a way to communicate with the court to replace wheat with silver, or to buy grain to pay taxes.

Water conservancy also needs to be repaired. It is best to come up with steam pumps, so that the cost-effective ratio will be high.Next is chemical fertilizers, but the large-scale production of chemical fertilizers was only done in the late 70s in previous lives.We can only do some soil and chemical fertilizers to study slowly.

We also need to find a way to kill those princes of the Ming Dynasty, and distribute the fertile land they occupied to the common people to increase the per capita cultivated area.It is necessary to develop industry and commerce to increase tax revenue, otherwise the common people will be robbed of their hard-earned income.

In my memory, it was snowing in Guangdong during the Little Ice Age, which shows that the climate in the north will only get worse.Doing all of this can only barely keep people alive, and even if there is a major disaster, they will starve to death for thousands of miles.But things still have to be done, and things need to be done at an accelerated pace.If all that I have done cannot save the people, then I can only lead the people to rebel.

After thinking about the coping strategy and strengthening his belief, Zhang Zongxian went back to sleep.

This day, Zhang Zongxian went to the east of the city immediately after the morning meeting.Today is the day of acceptance.Zhang Zongxian had to personally participate in the acceptance inspection, and he had to ask Ding Bo to settle the project payment on the spot so that these people could become the second best, as long as they cooperated with the county magistrate, they could earn money.

When I arrived at the east of the city, I saw Wang Laosan leading people to greet Zhang Zongxian first.Zhang Zongxian didn't talk nonsense with them to see how the project was completed.Seeing that the large piece of land has been replaced with new soil, I can no longer smell the pungent stench.

Zhang Zongxian was very satisfied, and then randomly selected ten locations, and asked people to dig them up to see if the lime had been sprinkled.Zhang Zongxian said to the old Wangtou after digging and checking that there was no problem:

"Very well done, you didn't disappoint me."

Wang Laosan and the others immediately knelt down towards Zhang Zongxian.He kept saying thank you.Zhang Zongxian got them up first, and then said
I have planned this land in the east of the city as a horse market.It is necessary to build warehouses, racecourses and inns here.All these projects will be entrusted to you.Then you go to the workshop to get the drawings, and you have to give the construction period and quotation as soon as possible.The faster the deadline, the better.

"The little one understands, thank you for your love, and I will go to the workshop to get the blueprints in a while."

"Not to mention the warehouse, the inn is mainly for caravans, and everything should be practical."

"As long as you know"

In the afternoon, Zhang Zongxian was sorting out the materials of his previous life in the backyard.Ding Bo reported that Hu Biao had come to Qingjian County.OK!Been waiting for him.Then he asked Ding Bo to bring Hu Biao to the study in the backyard of the county government office.

As soon as Hu Biao entered the study, he immediately saluted Zhang Zongxian.

"Xiaomin Hu Biao paid homage to the county magistrate"

"Boss Hu still has the same demeanor! He's still so forthright."

"The county venerable has won the prize. The young one came this time to bring the county lord some local products from the grassland. I hope the county lord will not dislike it."

"Boss Hu is being polite, let's sit down and have a chat. I wonder how many years has Boss Hu been on this business route?"

"The youngest ran with the caravan at the age of 9, and has been running a business for 25 years."

"I've been running for quite a long time! Manager Hu is almost 30 now! He has already saved a lot of money."

"Let the county lord laugh at me, I'm taking care of the business for my family, and I only get a little salary every year to eat and drink."

"Then Mr. Hu has a family?"

"The son who has already married is 9 years old. I will take him with me when I go back this time."

"Boss Hu will have to suffer a lot on the way to and from the grassland."

"Although there is nothing in charge of the Chaos Zhan Group on the grassland of Xianzun, there are also many horse bandits. Every time they do it with their heads hanging. Many tribes are both herdsmen and bandits. The food and shelter in the bitter cold of the grassland are not as good as in the grassland. Daming, a person with a headache and brain fever passed by without paying attention. Although he made a lot of money by running, the traffic is not a small number. The generals on the side wall are dark."

"Then you have the heart to let your son suffer this, why not let him study and get a good name so that he can become an official in the future?"

"It's not so easy for the county lord to get fame. It's like you are a star of Wenqu. If you can pass the exam, ordinary people don't have elders to support them. They don't have books at home, and they don't have good teachers. At most, they are a scholar.

Besides, we are doing this for our own family. Although we are not slaves, it is not much better.It's a little bit hard to follow the business route, but at least there is no need to worry about food and clothing. "

"Hu Biao, you came to me to inquire about the trade route to Moscow."

"The little one from the county is just passing through this Qingjian County, and by the way, bring some things from the grassland to the county."

"That's enough, I won't make detours with you anymore. There will be a big fortune for you, it depends on whether you can grasp it"

"The county lord is stupid, don't know what the county lord is referring to?"

"Let me tell you the truth, I didn't pass the exam as magistrate. My family is a family of officials, and my father once worked in the official department. I went through the official department to donate money to the Imperial College, and then the father-in-law in the palace took care of the local magistrate. I will be promoted to magistrate within three years. Don’t you want your son to be an official too? Then the Hu family is married to an official. I can let your son also enter the Imperial College, and then send him to other places to be a parent officer .”

"What does the county lord need a villain for? I'm afraid the villain's family is so poor that he can't afford to donate to the Imperial Academy!"

Hu Biao!You have worked so hard for the Hu family, but you didn't get anything?You have to let your son suffer along with him.As long as you listen to me in the future, I have something better than tea, and it is even more sought-after than tea when transported to the grassland.

You transport them over to exchange for horses, cattle and sheep. I will set up a horse market in Qingjian County, and then the money will be there naturally. What's the point of donating to the Imperial College?
"The county respects this~~~"

"Don't answer me in a hurry, you go to the east of the city to have a look first, that's where I'm going to build Jianyang City. Come back and tell me after you finish reading. Go quickly"

Hu Biao went to the east of the city with question marks all over his head.Where to see the vacant lot that has been packed.What happened again?Hearing that Zhang Zongxian used the method of bidding, he did not directly enlist the people.

Very surprised.Knowing that Wang Laosan and the others made a lot of money from this project.I admire Zhang Zongxian even more.There is a decision now.

Hu Biao returned to the study and knelt directly in front of Zhang Zongxian.

"The little ones are willing to do the work of dogs and horses for the honor of the county, and they will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"I knew you were a smart person. I exempted the city entry tax and built a horse market in the east of the city. I just waited for you to come and let you take charge of the overall situation. The horse market will give you [-]% of the shares. You put your son and wife Bring it here, and I will accept your son as a disciple. From now on, we will be a family."

"It's such a big deal for Xian Zun, I gave [-]% of the shares without doing anything"

"You have a lot of things to do. You have to manage all parties and continue to arrange people to transport things to the grassland. You also need to contact merchants to come to this horse market for transactions. You have a lot to do to recruit people."

"The little county venerable understands, give the little one half a month, and the young one will bring his family to join the county lord"

"Okay, before you go, taste this wine first, and see if there is a market to sell it for a big price." After finishing speaking, he asked the maid to bring Hu Biao a bowl of thyme for him to taste.

"Xianzun's wine is really fragrant, but what the grasslands want is strong wine, so the Tartars are fine with that strong wine."

"It's not this thyme that's being transported to the grassland, it's another kind. Do you see if there's a market for this thyme?"

"The taste of thyme from the county lord is suitable for literati and refined scholars. They like it. As long as it is transported to the capital and a few literati blow it, it will definitely become popular in the capital."

"Hu Biao, you reminded me that you will take this thyme with you when you go back this time. Go explore the road first. Come and let me write a legendary story for this thyme, so that these literati can also brag about it."

"Don't worry, Xianzun, it's just that the thyme is worth the price."

"The purchase price of 4 taels of silver, the rest is up to you"

Arranging for Hu Biao to go to Lao Liangtou to get wine, Zhang Zongxian was thinking about how to brag about the thyme.

There must be mystery, there must be beauties, and the production must be complicated. If you have it, say that the thyme is produced in Kunlun Mountains. To make this wine, you need a hundred kinds of exotic flowers and herbs from Kunlun Mountains, and you need bare feet of young girls who have not yet left the cabinet to step on the ninety-nine. 81 days, plus the water from the Tianchi Lake in Kunlun Mountains, which is said to be a Tianchi Lake formed by the imperial wine that the Queen Mother of China and the West held a peach party.Add this water to make this fine wine.It's not called thyme anymore, it's called Tianru.Soak wolfberry in the wine and drink it like this, and it also has the effect of increasing hair, strengthening the body and prolonging life.

Hu Biao read what Zhang Zongxian wrote and said with a smile: "The original fragrance of this wine in the county can be sold for ten taels a catty in the capital. In addition to the legend you wrote, this wine can be sold for a hundred taels a catty."

这次你运过出去的酒卖百两一斤。等以后这酒会分为10年20年30年陈酿，分别卖50两100两300两。20年的会比十年的烈一点30年的又比20年的烈一些。

"Honor the county! It will be even different if it is transported to the south of the Yangtze River."

"Come slowly, the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, someone will look for you."

In the evening, Lao Liangtou and Hu Biao were called, and they had a meal in the backyard.Tell them about the future operation of the wine industry.The horse market will serve as Erguotou's main shipping channel, and you can contact merchants to exchange horses, cattle and sheep for wine.Sky milk wine is taking the high-end route and strives to become a tribute in the future.In the future, Liangjia Winery will no longer sell to the outside world but only be responsible for production.

天乳酒的出厂价提升到10两一斤。年份酒按照比例提升10年陈酿出厂价为20两，20年陈酿出厂价为40两30年陈酿出厂价为60两。生意方面的事丁伯负责对接，以后每个月开一次会做好账目对接。

While drinking, everyone chatted about the future profits brought by the wine industry. They kept drinking until late at night when Zhang Zongxian passed out.
