The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 36 Butterfly Wings ([-])

Guan Yi's children's shoes, who have been targeted by the big bosses of the Shu Han, are not so conscious now.Because he's going to be crazy busy during this time.

After the soap and oil wax were made, Mi Zhao, who heard the news, immediately made a decision: while the pig farms in Fuling County continued to expand, the fleet of the Mi Family Chamber of Commerce would also sail from Soochow and Puppet Wei. A large number of pigs were transported by water.In order to make these live pigs grow faster and reproduce more, sorghum and so on, the Mi family's fleet also began to work hard to transport them in from the puppet Wei.

Spring is here, and glycerin is about to come in handy: the mulberries all over the mountains and plains are ripe.This kind of mulberry fruit with high sugar content has the functions of nourishing yin and kidney, nourishing blood and improving eyesight, and promoting digestion. It is an excellent raw material for fruit wine.Therefore, Guan Taishou needs a lot of manpower to collect mulberries.

Spring is here, and the nearly 7000 potatoes harvested last year have turned into more than [-] potato seedlings to be planted. At the end of summer this year, Guan Taishou can finally consider eating some potatoes.Now, a mountain that Guan Yi had selected in advance has entered a state of high martial law: checkpoints have been set up at all intersections that can go up and down the mountain.It was even worse when he came out of the mountain: he was stripped naked and was repeatedly interrogated.

The industry in Fuling County really started to take off at this time.The butterfly's wings finally began to flap.

"Master, it's not that small people can't bear hardships. The small soap wax workshop has recently been running for twelve hours a day. Many workers were exhausted. Many workers forced themselves to work, and they were burnt out by caustic soda. If things go on like this, sooner or later they will be forced to cut production.”

"How can we reduce production? Didn't you see Mi Boyao's letter urging every day? The CDs are sold out. Prefect, brother, let's put aside the matter of the soap wax workshop for now. My brother's oil refining workshop also needs to increase manpower. This delay Xi lacquer is now exported to Wu and Wei, and the boats of the Mi family caravan are now waiting to be loaded at the Fuling wharf. But now the tung trees in a radius of [-] miles around the county town have been harvested by the children. Now go out to pick them once. It takes three to five days for one to go back and forth. And the farther away from the county, the more ferocious beasts. This year, two of my workers have been taken away by tigers!"

"So it's my hunting team's fault? Brother, I, Zhao Yi, never like to complain, so I have to tell you. You have repeatedly drawn people from my hunting team to fill the holes. Now the hunting team only has one hundred There are more people left! As Uncle Ling said, the county is now within a radius of [-] li, and there is nothing to hunt at all. You have to travel a long way to get anything, so why don’t you reduce my manpower?”

"Prefect, you asked to arrange for people to pick mulberries to make fruit wine. This... It's the spring plowing season, and the people are unwilling. Why don't you move 300 people from the captives of Qinjiabao last year? You are in the back mountain The things planted on that wasteland haven’t been harvested yet.”

"Stop it! Stop it for me! The meat you eat, the soap, Jingyao wax, and all the ingredients for making fruit wine. They all come from my pen! Brother, there is no one in this circle. It’s no good. It’s just the beginning of spring, and there are more than 300 piglets in the pen, and it’s really too much to take care of..."

Watching the roars of the subordinates below, Guan Yi only felt unprecedentedly satisfied.He stretched out his hand to stop everyone's quarrel, and said to the horse: "In other words, how much grain is there in the Mi's caravan?"

"Report to the prefect, as of today. The total inventory is one hundred and five thousand stones."

"It's almost there. Where's the money? What about the money after the purchase of food and the sale of various goods?"

"Uh... the prefect forgives the crime." Ma Guo cupped his hands, ran back to his official office, took out an account book and read it carefully before saying: "Prefect, since the first year of Jingyao, in more than three months, my Fuxing Society has paid for it. Mi’s shop bought food, piglets, rouge powder, spices, etc., and spent a total of 800 million yuan. The first batch of soap made a profit of 50 yuan, and the first batch of Jingyao wax made a profit of 30 yuan. The second batch was delayed. Xiqi 230 million yuan, in addition to bacon, game, medicinal materials, supplements, etc., a total of 45 yuan. All in all, our Fuxing Society now owes Mi's business 440 million yuan."

"Ah? What happened? It's a loss?"

"Yeah, why did you lose so much? My God, it's more than 1000 million, when will I be able to pay it back..."

"My family is rich in CD, and the annual turnover is only more than 100 million... This is more than 1000 million... tsk tsk tsk"

"Hehehe, everyone, be safe and don't be impatient." Guan Yi calmed everyone down again and said, "Where did we lose? It's clearly a big profit. Nuo, why didn't you count the more than 600 shi of grain in the warehouse now What? Just this alone, the market price is nearly 1000 million yuan! Calculated in this way, during this period of time, we not only supported 100 Fuxing Society guards and more than 1000 Qinjiabao prisoners, but also earned [-] yuan. What a million dollars. And..." Guan Yi let out a breath, and said boldly: "Besides, we are just getting started. Brothers, I guarantee that by the end of this year, the net profit of my Fuxing Society will be over [-] million yuan. It will be less than [-] million."

"Oh, that's what it is. I was taken aback. Then brother, why are we buying so much food?"

"Didn't you say that there is a lack of people? Isn't it because the lack of people limits production? You say, if I use food as bait to lure those Wuxi barbarians down the mountain, how many people can I attract?"

"So that's how it is, brother!"

"Hehehe, I can't say you are a great talent, it's just that you have a little foresight. Jian Wushuang, how have you been doing in the past six months?"

"Brother! This is not good! You asked him to hook up with various Wuxi barbarian villages, but this guy didn't do anything seriously at all. Why did he go? He specializes in seducing women from good families! As far as I know, this guy has spent at least six months. Hooked up with more than ten Wuxi barbarians."

"Zhang Lingxing, don't be bloody! I had to sacrifice Hue with tears in order to build a good relationship with the Wuxi barbarians! Brother, I am miserable. In the past half a year, I have run more than 30 villages, and I have broken my legs a few times. Don't say it. My waist is about to break. You don't know, the barbarian woman in Wuxi Barbarian Village has a lot of body odor..."

"Don't we have soap, you can let them pick up soap."

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense. Jian Wushuang, let me ask you, if I give a reward of one stone grain a month, how many of those Wuxi barbarians will come to work here?"

"What? One stone a month?" Jian Jian's eyes widened suddenly: "Brother, you must, absolutely. If you offer such a reward, I am afraid that all the barbarians from the [-] mountains will flock to my Fuling County. By then Don’t say we can’t use so many people, so many people come all at once, and I don’t have so many houses in Fuling County for them to live in.”

"Well, that's true. Then how do you give this reward."

"We can go to them to buy people at the price of thirty to fifty shi per person."

"purchase?"

"I don't know, brother, the farther away from the banks of the Wujiang River the poorer this Wuxi barbarian village is. In many villages, older people will be abandoned because there is not enough food to feed them. Children are also disliked... So we might as well buy it. Generally strong laborers are 40 shi per person, and those who are over 15 years old or under [-] years old are cheaper, [-] shi is enough. After these people buy it and eat our rice noodles, they will leave ?"

"Well, it seems that I didn't understand the situation a few days ago, and the conditions were too generous for the people in Tianjiazhai. So, you have done a good job."

"Hey, thank you brother for your compliment."

"Well, I'll give you 500 shi of grain, and you go and buy me at least 500 people. Among the 15 people, there must be at least [-] boys under the age of [-]."

"As ordered. I will finish this matter within three months." Jian Wushuang respectfully saluted Guan Yi and immediately changed his expression of arrogance: "What's the matter, everyone, why don't you hurry up and please me, you guys If there is a shortage of manpower, you have to find a way from my brother and me."

While a group of young people were fighting, Guan Xiaoqi hurried up from the bottom of the mountain: "Patriarch, someone is visiting."

"who?"

"Uh, Patriarch, there are a lot. There are people from the Fei family, the Dong family, the Lai family, and the Xiang family."

"Brother! This is..."

"Hehehe, seeing that our things are selling well, the autumn wind is coming. Brothers, you should not come forward. These things should be carried out for my brother alone."
