Li Tai was not a knowledgeable medical expert. His knowledge of wind diseases and qi diseases mainly came from searching and sorting out personnel in the early Tang Dynasty.
There are more than 200 types of wind and gas diseases, and athlete's foot can range from mild to severe. Of course, Li Tai does not have the ability to make detailed diagnoses, but he still has basic common sense. He Busheng's current living and eating habits are obviously not healthy enough and will undoubtedly aggravate the condition.
deterioration.
As the saying goes, it's hard to persuade a damned person with good words. If it was just an unrelated person, Li Tai would persuade him, but he wouldn't be too sad.
But He Basheng was unusual for him after all. While he was greedy for this favor, he also hoped to repay him emotionally, so that He Basheng's later life would not be too sad and desolate.
When He Basheng saw Li Tai showing such a lazy look, he just smiled helplessly.
He is not a withdrawn or unkind person by nature, and he also enjoys the care and supervision from the younger generations. However, he is also disappointed because of the reason, as Li Tai said, they are not relatives but not friends.
Even if there is a relatively close relationship, it is indeed not touching.
There was no mutton to go with it, so he ate a bowl of Japonica rice with buttermilk. When he saw that Li Tai had finished eating, he said again: "The cloth has been returned to the warehouse. My disciple has already sued me. Don't be too hasty about the rest. Years ago,
I don’t have a place to make large envoys.”
Li Tai had borrowed nearly 7,000 pieces of cloth from He Basheng before, which was definitely a huge sum of money. Even Li Tai, a debtor, couldn't help but sigh that He Basheng was really at ease with him.
His character is a bit retaliatory and stingy, but he never feels that he should be helped by others. So after the money was initially withdrawn, he quickly paid back part of it.
Hearing He Basheng talk about this topic at this time, he quickly said: "Recently, my family has been busy with accounting, and the dispatch of goods has not been easy. But at the latest before spring farming next year, all the borrowed goods will be collected and replenished. Uncle
This kind of help has benefited me a lot, and I feel deeply in my heart. I will definitely perform my best in the future."
Although he made a huge profit from the futures market, he also donated five hundred dendrobiums of ointment materials to Zhou Changming, and he also had a debt of 10,000 shi of grain to be delivered to the county government after autumn.
The profit from this operation is not enough to even out expenses, and debt is still needed to sustain it for a period of time.
But the most difficult initial stage has been overcome, and he is confident about the operation and development of various businesses in the future.
Now there are more than a hundred women weaving in his manor workshop. The scale of the work has increased, and the efficiency of the large spinning wheel has also been improved. After deducting the daily labor expenses and material costs, the daily profit is 150 yuan.
More than ten horses.
The oil mill is the next project to be launched, and Party Chief Zhao from Shangyuan is already helping him contact the craftsmen in the township who were previously engaged in oil pressing operations.
Li Tai does not need these people's oil pressing skills, but he needs their skills in steaming and frying seeds. The actual production of oil uses the wooden method to press oil. Although there is only one word difference between pressing and pressing, the oil yield rate of oil pressing is
But it is much higher than oil pressure.
The ancient oil-pressing technology was around the end of the Tang Dynasty. It developed greatly during the Northern Song Dynasty. Vegetable oil also became the mainstream of diet. In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was even a trend of frying everything. Even oysters were fried directly in the oil pan!
Although the big households in the village were frightened by Li Tai's previous operation, they may not be willing to sell the seeds to him again. However, it is also human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Li Tai is confident that relying on the effectiveness of the oil pressing method compared to the oil pressing method, he can produce seeds.
Lower the price of oil to such an extent that the production profits of these large producers are not as good as expected.
The reason why he promised Liu Gong not to sell oil before this year was to lower the market price next year and continue to prepare for purchasing sesame oil. It is his unshirkable responsibility as a time traveler to make sesame oil available to the elders of Huazhou.
Of course, this is an exaggeration. In terms of people's livelihood needs, sesame oil does not rank high, and it is not the bottom line that large rural households strictly guard against. Therefore, Li Tai was given room to manipulate the market and have room for long-profit operations.
In addition, Li Tai also recruited many casual workers from the countryside. In addition to building houses, he also built several large kilns, starting from firing bricks and tiles, and gradually trained skilled workers. The previous smelting furnace for melting copper materials was not destroyed.
, leaving it to be upgraded in the future when technical and financial resources are in place.
In short, his career blueprint is huge, but it is limited by his current strength and capital, and he can only promote its realization step by step.
He didn't want to use the He Basheng family's fabrics in vain, and he had already calculated the interest returns in his mind. However, the current liquidity of the properties was not enough. It would not be an exaggeration to say that next year when the situation eases, he could pay them all together.
morning.
"How many feet do I have, and how much fabric do I need? You don't have to be hasty, just do everything according to your ability."
He Basheng is a good creditor and is not in a hurry to collect debts.
He paused and then looked at Li Tai and said: "If you are talking about expressing gratitude, you don't have to pay it in the future. I have something to do for you today, shouldn't you do it?"
"My uncle always gives orders when he has something to do. How can I not respond?"
Li Tai said with a smile after hearing this.
"Just agree! This matter is a problem for me, but it's not difficult for you."
He Basheng said with a smile again, raised his finger and pointed to the world of the manor outside the hall, and said to Li Tai: "What do you think of this estate?"
"I heard about it yesterday that my uncle was awarded the title for his merits. The fertile land near the river, if it had not been disturbed by the war, would indeed be a rich industry that would last for many years."
When Li Tai heard this, he replied without hiding his envy and regret.
"I still have a few of these types of gardens. If I were the only one, I wouldn't need to own so much property. But the disciples always need constant industry to support them, and whatever is given to me by Daxingtai, I will accept it with all my heart.
.”
He Basheng sighed with emotion, and then said to Li Tai: "But most of my subordinates are veterans, who are more than fierce but not shrewd. Therefore, I want to pay the business to Apan and you can take care of it on my behalf, as long as I can keep the people fed and clothed."
Just have enough."
Li Tai was still guessing what He Basheng wanted him to do. He was shocked when he heard this. He shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Uncle, is it possible that he is teasing me? Not to mention whether my intelligence is sufficient, the business here alone is very important for farming and mulberry farming."
At that time, it was more than enough to feed thousands of people, so why rely on this talent!"
"Alas, you don't know something either. Although the business here belongs to me, most of the output will be lost to the assistant army. Only one or two out of ten people can enter the warehouse. It looks like Toyota Beauty, but in fact, I am doing all the farming and weaving.
The labor is wasted and it’s hard to make up for it!”
He Basheng smiled bitterly and told Li Tai such a secret.
After hearing this, Li Tai couldn't help but his eyes widened. How could things be like this? I'll give you the land, and the harvest will be mine!
Yuwen Black Otter, you have lost your conscience. An old man over fifty years old is fighting for you, but you are still extorting and exploiting me like this!
"Then Li Sikong Garden in the south..."
He pondered for a moment and then asked again, somewhat doubting whether Yu Wentai was deliberately suppressing He Basheng.
"The same is true. The land near the river needs a strong army to deter the thieves, and it is proper for the harvest of the fields to belong to the officials and help the army. The country is in crisis now. Since we have been deeply favored, we should not just be a portal.
Private plan."
He Basheng said this, but his face could not hide his sorrow: "If in previous years, the garden business had been increased elsewhere, it would have been able to maintain more than enough. But in the previous battle at Mangshan, many strong soldiers in the army were injured or killed.
Providing food to the injured and sympathy to the dead will lead to difficulties..."
When Li Tai heard this, his expression suddenly felt a little unnatural. I, my second uncle, also have to shoulder half of the emotional burden?
But he soon thought about how much cloth He Basheng had lent him before, and he felt even more moved.
But before he had time to express his expression, He Basheng said again: "I lent you the goods before because I really wanted to see how talented you were. Secondly, I also had my own agenda. If this heavy goods goes to waste and never returns, I can
Just rely on this to rob rural households! Although Daxingtai often teaches people to get along well with each other, I was deceived by the local tyrants and lost all my family wealth. I should always be given some immunity from the law."
You know how to play with feelings better than I do!
After Li Tai heard this, he couldn't help but feel emotional. It was true that He Basheng was friendly to him, but after all, he was a powerful military leader who had traveled all the way from Beizhen Wuchuan to the ends of the earth. It would be too one-sided to think that he would only be kind to others. It turned out that he had already had this in his heart.
The idea of using yourself as an excuse to rob a wealthy country man.
Knowing this, Li Tai suddenly felt that he had noble moral integrity. It was true that he robbed these rich people by trading futures, but he was still helping them. If He Basheng took action, they would lose more than just money and silk.
So, in troubled times, you still have to have strong troops and strong horses. It's good to play by the rules and play around. You also have to have the confidence and power to overturn the table when necessary.
"Since my uncle thinks that my talents are acceptable, of course I am bound to do my best and do my best!"
After pondering for a while, he no longer hesitated and expressed his stance directly.
When he was very poor, he still dared to make a lease transaction of tens of thousands of tons of grain with the county government. Faced with He Basheng's request, he naturally had no reason to refuse.
Compared with the ancients, the most outstanding thing about him is not that his farming harvest is higher than others, but that his production technology and methods are superior. The more large-scale production, the more significant the effect improvement.
Zhao Gui blocked the river and built a dike, forcing him to use oxen to pull the spinning wheel, but now with the support of He Basheng's power and prestige, if you stop me from using water, I will give you a chance!
Seeing Li Tai's willingness to agree, He Basheng immediately laughed happily. He immediately summoned the subordinates in charge of Tian Sang's affairs in the mansion and ordered them to check and hand over the accounts in front of the court.
Li Tai was shocked because he didn't know what was going on. Only then did he understand how powerful the real military leader and powerful man was nowadays.
He Basheng's family alone has a population of more than 3,700, and the manor properties are spread over half of the Guanzhong Plain. From Chang'an to the east, there are more than a dozen large and small gardens.
Tens of hectares, up to hundreds of hectares, the total area on the books alone reaches nearly a thousand hectares!
Although this number may seem exaggerated, it is actually reasonable if you think about it carefully.
Even Gao Zhong Mi Xitou, who had no merit, was given a manor of more than ten hectares, and nearly 300 people were given as gifts. Li Tai accepted more than a dozen households in the village, plus other large households.
The compensation has already reached the size of a tribe of nearly 600 people.
As a veteran of Beizhen, He Basheng participated in the wars of the two Wei Dynasties after returning from Nanliang and performed very well. It is normal to have such a tribe and the size of the manor.
After all, the financial situation of the Western Wei Dynasty was really worrying, and if they really wanted to give out a large reward of money and silk, they might go bankrupt.
Yuwentai will reward the heroes with large amounts of land, which can also strengthen his control over the core area of Guanzhong, and he can also conquer the autumn wind and transport supplies. Why not?
