Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 90: Carpenter's Workshop 【Seeking Red】

Since January, Beidi County has also achieved gratifying results in the great cause of land reclamation. Thanks to the leadership of Jia Rong and the large number of soldiers, Fuping County has reclaimed a total of about [-] mu of land, and the other five counties have reclaimed a total of [-] mu of land. (.

Jia Rong gave verbal rewards to the county magistrates of the five counties. The magistrates of the five counties were all poor men carefully selected by Zhang Lijing. They didn't care much about Jia Rong's lack of actual rewards. Understandably, it was Jia Rong's phrase "for the benefit of the people" that kept their hearts firmly in Beidi County, and Jia Rong was really doing things for the people.

The next day, Mi Zhu entered the recruitment hall with a gloomy face. Since the opening of the recruitment hall, Jia Rong always came here to sit idle when he was free, waiting for the arrival of talented people.

"Brother Zhiyuan, I really can't do anything to help Beidi County. My ability to be a brother is limited. I hope you will forgive me."

Jia Rong concealed the displeasure on his face very well. No matter how bad a place is, it is impossible to be useless. I really regret that I didn’t study business well in the future world. The ancient merchants are too bad, so you won’t Spending money hard to promote Beidi County, "Brother Zizhong, don't worry about it. I have a business, and brother Zizhong is definitely interested."

Looking at Mi Zhu whose ears were all stretched out, Jia Rong secretly laughed in his heart. All the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. This sentence really makes sense, and whispered in his ear: "This time to kill the horse thieves, there are still more than a hundred horses harvested. I don't know Brother Zizhong. Do you like it?"

Mi Zhu was startled, and his face showed joy. He came to trade horses this time, not wanting to be looted by horse thieves, but these good horses fell into the hands of Jia Rong. He came back empty-handed with a full load, even if he spent more It is also worth the money to exchange these horses, and it will be enough to sell them at a higher price when they go back, "Oh, brother Zhiyuan is serious about what he said?" Mi Zhu's voice trembled a little.

Jia Rong nodded affirmatively, and said solemnly: "For the people of Beidi County, no price is worth paying."

Mi Zhu, who was a businessman, was also affected by Jia Rong's arrogance, and shouted: "Okay, brother Zhiyuan, don't worry, being a brother will definitely not let you suffer."

After that, the two conspired for a long time before they agreed on the result.

Mi Zhu is in charge of the food problem in Beidi County, while Jia Rong supplies Mi Zhu with [-] war horses. Now the most indispensable thing in Beidi County is war horses. War horses also consume fodder when they are free. It is better to be a favor, but once I still feel very reluctant to hand over so many war horses to Mi Zhu. These are all obtained by my hard work over the years.

I can't bear to let the children not be caught by wolves, and I can't bear to let the horses not get food!Based on this concept, Jia Rong reached an agreement with the cheerful Mi Zhu. Mi Zhu also paid a lot of money to buy some old and weak war horses. The old and weak in Jia Rong's eyes are not the same in Mi Zhu's eyes. These war horses can be sold at a good price if they are carefully fed.

Finally, he no longer had to worry about the food problem. Jia Rong also let out a long breath. If the problem of food for the winter in Beidi County was counted on the help of the Han court, the people of Beidi County, including the army, would be starved to death. , now the country of the Han Dynasty is full of devastation, abandoning the small to grow, also abandoning the border county, it is not that those businessmen are unwilling to come to Beidi County to invest and do business, but the situation in Beidi County does not allow them to come, Jia Rong's policy Although it is attractive, if the Qiang people come again, those investments will be in vain.

On the surface, it seems that the Han court did not care about Beidi County and let it toss, but in fact it was the temporary abandonment of Beidi County by the big Han. Otherwise, Jia Rong would be allowed to act like this. Although Jia Rong's political consciousness is not high, this point There are still insights.

Now Beidi County has added more than 10 acres of land, and each person can get about one mu of land. Beidi County has been war-torn for a long time, and it is located in a border county. The population is less than [-], which is the county with the smallest population in the Han Dynasty. up.

The next thing to do is to organize the people to cultivate in autumn. This is related to the situation in Beidi County in the coming year. Only relying on oneself is the safest way. Relying on Xuzhou Mi's family is only a stopgap measure.

In the recruiting hall, Jia Rong looked at the middle-aged man in the first seat with a smile on his face. He had a shiny dark face, thick muscles, thick calluses on his hands, and he could be seen on his decent linen clothes. A few small holes the size of sesame seeds.

"You are the famous blacksmith Liu in the city? Very good!" Jia Rong gently put down the teacup in his hand and asked.

Tiejiang Liu stammered: "Yes... yes... the villain is."

Looking at the fine beads of sweat on Liu Tiejiang's face, Jia Rong comforted softly: "Don't get excited, I will still eat you up? Are you afraid that I will kill you for money? Besides, I won't be ugly when I grow up?" After finishing, Jia Rong touched his face in a funny way.

Liu Tiejiang couldn't help laughing out loud, he had nothing, and there was nothing worthy of the attention of the prefect in front of him. Looking at the amiable prefect, the distance between Jia Rong and Jia Rong was shortened unconsciously, and his words were gone. Just stuttered.

Liu Tiejiang began to follow his master to forge iron since he was a child. He has been involved in this way for more than 20 years.

"You are a well-known blacksmith in the city. We met last time. I have called you here to ask for something." Having been in the post of prefect for a long time and accustomed to giving orders, Jia Rong's tone was a little intolerable. Doubt.

Liu Tiejiang, who had lost his former restraint, slapped his chest loudly, "Just mention what you have to say, and I will do my best." For the young prefect in front of me, I couldn't help being dissatisfied. Which one in Beidi County now? When people mention Jia Rong, they don't just praise him repeatedly.

Jia Rong has always maintained a never-sloppy attitude towards business matters, "Very good! Blacksmith Liu obeys the order, and from today onwards, the prefect will appoint you as the head of blacksmiths in Beidi County, responsible for the construction of Beidi County, and obey my orders. Prefect command."

Blacksmith Liu heard such good news at first, he stayed in place for a long time before he came back to his senses, fell to the ground and said: "The villain must forge iron well, and repay the great favor of the prefect." For a long time, that kid Hu Zhun has been the object of Liu Blacksmith's envy , looking forward to being appreciated one day and becoming famous, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly, which made Liu Tiejiang a little at a loss for a while, and the loudness of kowtowing was even better than that of Hu Zhun back then.

Jia Rong walked to Liu Tiejiang's side, patted his shoulder lightly, and helped him up.

A person like Liu Tiejiang may not be a good leader, but he is a very good technician. Even if he is given a nominal job, he will not care. All he wants is to be appreciated for his craftsmanship. up.

"After you go back, recruit blacksmiths you know, and then I will build a special blacksmith workshop for your use, and the establishment of the blacksmith workshop will need your help to make the blacksmith workshop bigger." Jia Rong said to a group of blacksmiths. Blacksmith Liu said with an excited face.

Tiejiang Liu nodded like a chicken eating rice, and agreed to everything.

Looking at Liu Tiejiang who left happily, Jia Rong seemed to have remembered something, and turned and left the recruitment hall.

When he came to the Beidi County warehouse, Jia Rong further agreed with his point of view, and finally made a new discovery. This joy is no less than the discovery of a new continent. Maybe he can make a lot of money because of it, but it is still not suitable for the time being. come out.

The prefect's mansion posted a new notice again. Unlike the past, the people of Beidi County rushed to watch, and the people crowded around kept asking what the notice inside said.

A scholar shook his head and shook his head word by word and read: "From now on, the prefect's mansion will recruit craftsmen who are good at building houses, food and lodging will be included, the salary will be [-] qian per day, and the bill will be settled every day. Those who want to apply, please come to the prefect's mansion's recruiting hall as soon as possible! "

Xiucai had just finished reading the notice, and realized that most of the crowd had dispersed, and the rest were old and weak, so he couldn't help shaking his head again and said, "Nonsense, nonsense." Looking at the cannibalistic eyes of the people next to him, Xiucai hurriedly turned around leave.

The establishment of a craftsman workshop can find an errand for ordinary people who have nothing to do at home, and can also bring back a little subsidy for poor families. This is also to stimulate the economy. One will also come in competition, and ten coins is about two yuan in later generations, which still has a certain purchasing power in the barren Northland County.

One thousand qian is enough to buy one stone of grain, and one stone of grain is about 120 catties. That is to say, one qian money is enough to feed an ordinary family for a month. These craftsmen not only save food at home, but also bring Go back and subsidize the family.

In the early morning of the next day, a long queue lined up outside the Zhaoxian Hall of the prefect's mansion. There were soldiers maintaining discipline. The craftsman's workshop, to put it bluntly, is a blacksmith's shop, but the popularity of the prefect's mansion is really great, and these officials are in charge of registration, which can be regarded as benefiting the people. Although it is hard work, it is worth it.

Looking at the bustling scene in front of the gate of the prefect's mansion, Jia Rong walked up to a commoner and asked, "What's your name? What do you know?"

Seeing that it was a person who looked like an official asking questions, the common people did not dare to be negligent. They bowed respectfully and replied: "Little man Wang San, the villain is not good at anything, but he has some physical strength. Let's see if he can help."

After hearing this, Jia Rong shook his head. The economy in Beidi County is really bad. It is estimated that the people usually stay at home and take care of an acre of land. He rushed to do it, "When did you come here?" Jia Rong saw that his position was relatively forward, and asked casually.

"The villain got up before dawn and came all the way. I didn't expect that there are so many people in the prefect's mansion." After saying that, Wang San had a look of remorse on his face.

Jia Rong asked a few more people, and found that there were not many craftsmen who really knew how to build houses, and there were not a few who came to try their luck. How could this work?
