…
If the appearance of Quyuanli had already made Gu Bangcai excited, when the county official who didn't care about his image returned to the wasteland, he learned from Zheng Chenggong, who was also very excited, that the snow sugar technology could also be used in making sugar.
After the fact that we can turn toxic salt mines into good salt, how can we still sit still?
"My lord, please be patient. After the Quyuan plow is perfected and the salt production is in full swing, it won't be too late to report back then. For now, let's talk about the location of the academy and the hiring of manpower.
"Seeing that this person was in a hurry to go back, Li Anran quickly dissuaded him.
"I am impatient. Please forgive me." Being able to sit in the very important position of Lantian County Lord, Gu Bangcai naturally cannot be the kind of idiot who can only "scratch the ground". He knows that he is because of one after another.
Losing composure at the good news, he bowed deeply and said.
"It's okay, it's human nature." Seeing the county's dignitaries salute him as a "bastard", Li Anran accepted it calmly, but also waved his hand and said with a smile.
"I will do my best to use the land for the academy. As for the manpower, do you want to buy it or hire it?" Gu Bangcai, who knew that things should not be rushed, quickly regained his composure and asked.
"Haha... let's talk about these things when we go back. They can't do anything if they stay here." Li Anran, who knew that the two problems he planned to solve through official meetings were probably ok, pointed to the surroundings of the wasteland,
Said with a smile.
"What you said makes sense, please!" Gu Bangcai, who was stunned for a moment, looked at the dealers who were obviously very reserved around him, then he laughed and made a gesture of invitation.
After a while, the three of them returned to the front hall of the manor. Gu Bangcai, who had just got off the ground, was also invited to the next room to clean himself. Since there were no clothes suitable for the county minister, he finally had to change into
I got a Tang suit brought by Li Anran. Not to mention, although this suit is not as gorgeous as the costumes of the Tang Dynasty, it is very comfortable to wear.
Especially the change of clothes Li Anran brought this time are made of the best materials, breathable and sweat-absorbent. In the current summer season, they are much more comfortable than the real Tang suit before. The only drawback is
The only thing is that Li Anran's figure is relatively burly, and it would be a bit too big for Gu Bangcai. Fortunately, it is a loose style, so it will not look too ugly.
As for the steward Wang Youde, as soon as he returned to the village, he put down the reward in front of the other villagers, and also told the others who had not been able to make the Quyuan plow, or were just too late.
The few dealers who know how to do carpentry at the first step
The households were gathered together, and after handing out the usual reward to each person, he also emphasized Li Anran's request for everyone to work together to perfect the Quyuan plow. At the same time, he spared no effort to hammer it to ensure the technology of making the plow.
It won't spread.
"Master, I have to do my best to use the land for the academy. As for the people available, I don't know whether to buy or hire?" Gu Bangcai, who had put on new clothes, joked with Zheng Chenggong and Wu Chengen for a few words before kneeling down at his desk.
asked a few days later.
"As for the land, the county will do its best. By the way, if possible, I would like to lay a road from the academy to the county seat. I plan to pay all the money for this road myself. The only requirement is that the roads on both sides
The waste land is sold to me.”
"As for the problem of manpower, it is naturally better to buy. I believe shopkeeper Wu has his own arrangements for the price. In addition to adult labor, I also want to buy a group of children. Don't worry, these children are not used for work, but for work.
Will enter the academy to study."
Seeing the appearance of Qu Yuuli, he is bound to get a high "score" from Li Shimin, whom he has never met before. Li Anran will naturally not miss this good opportunity to ask for "repayment". As for whether the other party will
Arranging people to enter the hands of the people he bought, but he was not worried at all. Anyway, he had never thought about rebellion. Compared with conquering the world by himself, it was more valuable to embrace Li Shimin's lap and work together with the Tang Dynasty.
.
In Li Anran's view, there are too many aspects that need to be taken into consideration in conquering the world. He is alone in the Tang Dynasty and his abilities are really limited. Even if it is not impossible to conquer the world, he should not spend all his efforts to win from Li Anran.
In this world, you have to risk all kinds of dangers from time to time. It is far easier to sit in the same boat with the Tang Dynasty and follow the general trend of the world. Of course, the most important thing is that I am not the kind of character who likes to conquer the world.
"Building roads? Buying land? Children?" Gu Bangcai, who felt that the information he just said was a bit overwhelming, did not speak in a hurry, but picked up the tea that had been brewed in front of him and tasted the beauty of the bitterness first and then the sweetness.
Taste, I thought about it.
"Zhenren, I wonder how many servants Zhenren needs this time?" Wu Chengen, who knew that the matter of buying land to build a college was beyond his control, secretly glanced at Gu Bangcai, who was still thinking, and then asked.
"How many? Haha... I don't dare to say how many I want, but as long as the conditions are right, dozens of people are not too few, and tens of thousands are not too many." Li didn't care that he would be suspected if he bought so many people.
An Ran said with a smile.
"Hiss!!" After seeing the Quyuan plow before, Wu Chengen originally thought that someone just wanted to buy dozens or hundreds of Puli to expand the farmland, but he never thought that the other person's "appetite" was such
It was so big that I gasped immediately.
Considering the situation of the Tang Dynasty at this stage, it is not surprising that Wu Chengen would have such a reaction. Even though the Tang army could easily number hundreds of thousands, that was compared to the entire Tang empire. As for those with a population of tens of thousands
A wealthy family is in a situation that only comes after several generations of business. A small village owner dares to buy thousands of servants, even if they are not all strong servants. Such a number can be placed anywhere.
It can be considered a big issue that can cause local unrest.
Fortunately, Li Anran also knows that if you can give Qian'er eight hundred, don't even think about tens of thousands of servants. Moreover, even with this, there will probably be a lot of old, weak, sick and disabled among them. However, really
If you can buy thousands or eight hundred servants, even if there is a lot of "moisture" in them, it will be good. With this group of people, whether it is to renovate the manor or build a college, or some follow-up plans,
It will save a lot of trouble.
"It doesn't matter, if it's really troublesome, I can also hire someone. It happens that the construction of the academy and the planting require experts. As for the specifics, shopkeeper Wu can arrange it by himself." Li Anran, who knew that he was indeed speaking too loudly, said:
He waved his hand and smiled.
"In this case, I should do my best."
Although he knew that he could get a lot of money from this matter, Wu Chengen now knew that whether it was the Quyuan plow or the application of sugar-making technology in the salt industry, it was important to the Tang Dynasty. Even if he did not talk about the other party's upper realm qi refiner
What will happen if your identity is valued by the person above? Therefore, I have never thought about it and dare not make any small moves from it.
"Master, I am willing to contribute a little bit to the construction of the academy. Whether it is manpower, materials or books, if necessary, I can just say it." Zheng Chenggong, who was sitting behind Gu Bangcai's first case, raised his hand and said.
"Great kindness! Shopkeeper Zheng has such a good deed, and his merits will be recorded in his book. The specific matters should wait until the academy land and servants are settled. It is not too late to discuss it. Please tea!" Seeing this!
The mysterious shopkeeper Zheng Da was also dragged into the water by him. Li Anran immediately clapped his hands and raised the tea cup in his hand to signal.
After drinking tea, Li Anran knew that with the two great weapons of the Quyuan plow and salt-making technology, it was a good time to ask for rewards, Li Anran chatted with Gu Bangcai and the other three about the construction of the academy and the construction of roads.
After the incident, I did not forget to put forward several requests that I had planned for a long time.
After selling a small amount of gold and jade materials in the main plane in exchange for a large amount of funds, Li Anran, who had tasted the benefits, did not originally intend to be too "arrogant", but when he exchanged guns with Hu Jing last time
