Chapter 173: Path in Distress
Seeing this, the other three people dared not say much, so they picked up the knife and chopped it up. Chai Lin and Chai Meng pulled the horizontal knife to meet the enemy. With the sharpness of the precious knife, they cut off two swords and bullied themselves and turned forward to one person.
The four killers disappeared in a blink of an eye. The remaining two lost their energy and dared not fight again. They turned around and ran away. Unfortunately, they were wrong. They said they were not involved in running, but they were caught up by Chai Lin and Chai Meng in an instant, and stabbed into their chests with a horizontal knife.
The four of them died and could not die anymore. Chai Lin took back his flying knife and threw the four of them into the pool on the side of the road.
"The Master Chai Zhuang is very skilled." There was a person suddenly under the big willow tree.
Chai Lin was frightened and pulled out the Thunder gun and aimed at the man.
"Don't get me wrong, Lord Cheng sent me to protect you."
Chai Lin looked carefully and found that it was nothing under the big tree, but Master Wen beside Cheng Wanli just now.
Chai Lin said: "Master Wen, it's very surprising. I didn't expect you to be a master."
Master Wen said, "Don't get me wrong, please put away the guy. It's Lord Cheng who felt that Master Chai has a wide range of knowledge and wanted me to ask Master Chai to discuss the development of Dongping Mansion in detail. I happened to find someone following the two of you and I secretly followed him from behind. Unexpectedly, these four people were so vicious."
Chai Lin collected the musket and said, "So that's it. I don't know where Lord Cheng is?"
Master Wen said: "Mr. Cheng brought his family out to burn incense today. There happened to be a hut next to the temple. Master Cheng was waiting in the hut."
Chai Linxin thought that Lord Cheng was really cautious and had to find a thatched house when meeting and talking.
The two followed Master Wen back along the road, then headed north from the main road, not far away there was a hut.
Although it is a thatched cottage, it is elegant and exquisitely decorated. There is a fireplace with coal burning in the house and a small red mud stove on the coffee table.
Cheng Wanli was making tea pots there. When he saw Chai Lin coming, he said, "Sit, sit, you're welcome."
Chai Lin sat down and said, "Mr. Cheng is so elegant."
"What do Lord Chai Zhuang has on wine and tea? You might as well tell me." Cheng Wanli asked.
Chai Lin picked up the small red mud cup and tasted it, and said, "Good tea, the best Maojian. Since the adults asked, I will talk about it."
Prefect Cheng didn't say anything, and looked at Chai Lin and said.
"Three glasses of wine in the world, and one pot of tea in the great cause of a thousand years. Wine has the benefits of wine. Wine is good, and wine is brave. I was afraid, but I am very brave and not afraid when I get drunk. But drinking has many disadvantages. When I drink it, I think I am the best in the world and I don't accept anyone except the wall. The advantage of drinking tea is to savor it slowly. If I taste it too much, it will be much easier to be clear-headed and do things." Chai Lin said.
Cheng Wanli said: "I have been in Dongping Prefecture for more than two years. My political achievements have not improved much. I feel sorry for the people under my rule. I sincerely ask Master Chai for advice."
When Chai Lin saw that the people of Wanli were pretty good. Whether he was really dedicated to the people or pretended to be dedicated to the people, his spirit was very commendable.
Chai Lin said: "Okay, then I'll talk about it. Our country was established by farming in the Song Dynasty. The fields and grains have always been in the most important position, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. In addition to a variety of grains, mulberry and hemp, I think goats and sheep are excellent development points. Many people have a misunderstanding that sheep must be grazed, and they can actually be raised in captivity. Crops can be used to mow grass as feed for feed. The second is large animals such as horses, cattle and sheep. Many large households in Dongping Prefecture make their fortunes. We have sufficient rainfall, far more grasses on the grassland. As long as we make full use of all the weeds, cattle and sheep and other animals are far more grass than those on the grassland. Not only cattle and sheep, but even geese and pigs can eat part of the grassland."
Cheng Wanli said: "Our officials in the Song Dynasty just read, wrote poetry, wrote articles, and didn't know about farming. This is a major flaw. You said it very well. I plan to do a pilot project and promote some goose and ducks."
Chai Lin smiled and said, "You don't need to pilot the goose and ducks. Some time ago, I bought thousands of ducks from Dongping. Places with water are the most suitable for breeding ducks. Places with good conditions can produce about 200 eggs a year. Horses, cattle and donkeys produce less, and the investment is large. Ordinary farmers cannot play with them. If adults really want to experiment, they can try raising pigs, grain and grass, and the effect is very good. There are more than a dozen pig farms on my farm."
"I really haven't seen that the owner of Chai Manor is still raising pigs. The necessity of agriculture and animal husbandry for the people must be paid attention to, but the development of agriculture and animal husbandry is slow. Only in the business and business can we get rich quickly. I just said in Wanghulou that your owner has many workshops. But Cangzhou is a border area after all, and its transportation, water and land are not as good as Dongping Prefecture. How about opening several large workshops in Dongping Prefecture?" Cheng Wanli said.
This is to attract investment. Chai Lin had long noticed that Dongping Prefecture. Water transportation in this place is too convenient. There were no large trucks these days, but there were black-sailed boats. A boat worth tens of thousands of kilograms of cargo was used. In this era, the economic and cultural centers were almost all around this canal. From the canal, you can directly reach Tokyo Bianliang and go south to Suzhou and Hangzhou. The water freight is very low and it is still very suitable.
Chai Lin said: "It's not impossible. Didn't you say it just now? I'll build a large wholesale market at the wharf, and Lord Cheng will give away land for free."
Mr. Wen said: "After all, the wholesale market is only commercial, and there are fewer commercial workers. Do you have any production and processing workshops? It's still the old method. The land is free and the taxes can be reduced to you, but you need to recruit local workers."
Chai Lin thought for a while and asked, "What is the most Dongping Mansion that can be developed and utilized."
"The river valley of Dongpingfu, the port fork is full of reeds, which run for dozens of miles. People who have good things are still there
