Qin Huaidao leaned his back against the big wooden barrel, closed his eyes and rested his mind, while feeling He'er's pressure, his body was so comfortable that even his bones were soft. He'er wiped away his tears, pretended to be happy and said with a smile: "Young Master, no one is bullying you.
, slaves are just happy, by the way, Princess Yuzhang often comes here after leaving the battle, they said that the young master wants to marry Princess Yuzhang, is it true?"
As he said this, he stopped moving his hands and his tearful eyes were filled with nervousness.
Qin Huaidao felt He'er's nervousness and made some guesses in his mind, so he said bluntly: "He'er, it's true. The sacred decree cannot be violated. What do you think of Princess Yuzhang?"
"The princess is very good, has a noble status, has a gentle personality, is knowledgeable and courteous, and is good to us servants. If she joins the house in the future and becomes the mistress of the house, our lives will be better." He'er said quickly,
But his voice was trembling, full of worry and confusion.
Qin Huaidao confirmed his guess, grabbed He'er's hand and smiled: "No matter who becomes the mistress of this house in the future, you will always be the young master's, unless you don't want to."
"He'er will take care of the young master for the rest of his life." After receiving the promise, He'er beamed with joy, and all the worries in his heart disappeared. His whole person was filled with vitality, and he was relieved of some burden.
"Don't cry, your face is ugly. Come, help your young master change clothes." Qin Huaidao smiled, stood up, stepped out of the bucket, put on clean new clothes with the help of He'er, and rubbed He'er.
I touched my son's head and said softly: "Don't think so wildly, I'll take your house away in a few years."
"I know, thank you, young master!" He'er received such a straightforward promise, her heart felt as sweet as honey, her face turned red, and she lowered her head, wishing she could find a crack to get in.
"Let's go and eat."
"嘤嘤!"
The two walked out of the room and came to the restaurant. The shopkeeper and Xue Rengui and his wife were both there. Everyone sat together. After drinking for three rounds, Qin Huaidao looked at Jia Youcai and said, "Uncle Jia, please speak first."
"Young Master, the Fanyang Lu family has discovered coal mines in Qixian County north of Tongguan, north of Weinan and Chencang. They are digging vigorously. The price is slightly lower than ours. In recent months, our coal cannot be sold and has been piled up.
In Qinjiazhuang, fortunately the young master has returned, and everyone in Qinjiazhuang is currently in panic."
"Can't sell it anymore?" Qin Huaidao stopped his chopsticks and immediately thought of the specific location Jia Youcai just mentioned, which was farther than Tongchuan. He asked curiously: "Uncle Jia, what do you want in the place you just mentioned?"
It’s not easy to transport it to Chang’an, the cost is high, so Fan Yanglu sells it for a high price.”
"No, but they just sell it cheaply, fifteen cents a penny." Jia Youcai said angrily.
"This is a malicious price reduction. They want to force us out of the game so that we can achieve monopoly and raise the price in the future. If this is the case, then we won't sell it and just keep it for ourselves." Qin Huaidao said nonchalantly.
Jia Youcai didn't understand monopoly, so he panicked when he heard that he wouldn't sell it, and said quickly: "Okay, without this business, what will happen to the two thousand people in Qinjiazhuang?"
"Don't worry, I'll figure it out." Qin Huaidao said nonchalantly. Selling briquettes was a temporary measure, with low profits and hard work. He just took the opportunity to cancel and asked: "Is there still food?"
"There is still a lot of food, but we can't make any money and everyone is panicking."
As long as there is food, it will be a good idea. Qin Huaidao looked at Liushi: "Sister-in-law, are the fairy fruits sold out?"
"It was sold out two months ago."
"Thank you for your hard work. The shop is temporarily closed. He'er, please calculate the account of the fairy fruit separately and give it to me. Please show me the account of Qinjiazhuang later. What's the current situation of Qinjiazhuang?" Qin Huaidao said and looked at Jia You again.
fiscal.
"The briquettes couldn't be sold, so the old man simply asked everyone to stop. However, the green bricks, tiles, cement and lime that the young master had promised before leaving were not stopped. The warehouse could not be loaded, so two more were built. The straw trading was stopped. Everyone stopped trading every day.
Everyone is looking forward to the return of the young master, and there are also fish ponds waiting for the young master to make up his mind."
Qin Huaidao pondered for a moment and then warned: "Uncle Jia, please remember that there are many openings in the upper reaches of the fish pond to bring in the river water. The openings are covered with bamboo nets to prevent fish from escaping. There are also many openings in the middle of the pond base, which are also covered with bamboo nets.
, the same goes for the most downstream, which has only one purpose, to allow the water to circulate and circulate, and then block it during the dry season to avoid reducing the pond water."
"This is easy and can be done quickly." Jia Youcai solemnly promised.
"After that, purchase grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp, red sturgeon male, herring and other fry and put them in. The fry put into each pond should be a thousand first." Qin Huaidao warned, red sturgeon male is carp, but carp has the same surname as Li.
Has been renamed.
Jia Youcai was worried that he could not remember, so he quickly went to get paper and pen. Qin Huaidao waited patiently. Grass carp cleared the weeds in the pond, silver carp and bighead carp were used as water purifiers, red sturgeon male, herring eat snails, mussels, etc.
Fish live in different water layers. They do not interfere with each other and can complement each other. They can give full play to the maximum effect of the pond water. However, these are too troublesome to explain and difficult to explain. Just let everyone do it.
Not long after, Jia Youcai came back in a hurry. Qin Huaidao waited for the other party to take note and then continued: "We can raise another thousand ducks in the pond and a thousand acres of water, no problem. We can also find an open space to build a house for the ducks to rest at night. In addition, the pond foundation
Plant some willow trees, it doesn’t take much.”
Ducks are very active, constantly floating, grooming and playing on the water surface. On the one hand, they can directly press air into the water. Duck feces not only contains a large amount of unabsorbed organic matter, but also contains more than 30% crude protein, which is the food of fish.
As bait, even duck manure that cannot be directly eaten by pond fish can be decomposed by bacteria and release inorganic salts, which become a nutrient source for plankton, promote the reproduction of plankton, and provide bait for silver carp and bighead carp.
Ducks are also omnivorous poultry and can promptly eat dead fish floating in fish ponds and shed debris from fish lesions, thereby reducing the spread of pathogens. Ducks can swallow many fish predators, such as water centipedes;
Ducks can also remove moss and algae that have grown due to insufficient clearing of the pond; ducks are active in the fish pond, and harmful water birds do not dare to land on the water at will; ducks swim to wash their feathers, causing parasites and skin flakes to fall off in the water.
, is eaten by fish, and reduces the infection of parasites in ducks themselves.
When the duck is big, it has duck eggs. It is also a delicacy to pickle them. Then it is a way to make a living. It can be said that raising ducks is of great benefit to raising fish. As for willows, willow bark is also great for fish skin diseases.
Advantages, but it is also too troublesome to explain.
Jia Youcai didn't ask too many questions and took notes carefully.
Qin Huaida finished the meal in two or three mouths. Seeing that Jia Youcai had also recorded similar things, he took a brush and paper and drew a suggested architectural diagram on it, with a field grid, two floors, with stairs, and a small door at the door.
In the courtyard, there is a kitchen and toilet in the back. Draw a few more to form a row, then mark the data and push it to Jia Youcai.
Jia Youcai's eyes lit up and he asked: "Young Master, is this room suitable for you?"
"Yes, we must not break our promise as promised." Qin Huaidao said and took out another piece of paper, drew a topographic map of Qinjiazhuang, marked it, and explained: "Uncle Jia, these marked places are gentle slopes.
It is most suitable to build a house when no one is using it. You are not afraid of entering the house when it rains. The kitchen and toilet are built at the back, just one storey high. A drainage channel is built for everyone to use. The drainage channel is made of cement to prevent leakage. They are concentrated here.
.”
As he spoke, Qin Huaidao pointed to a low place and added: "Dig a septic tank. No one is allowed to urinate and defecate randomly in the future, but it will not be hygienic for Qinjiazhuang."
"What is a septic tank?" Jia Youcai was a little confused.
Qin Huaidao drew another sketch of the septic tank, marked the dimensions and explained: "There are three grids in total. The middle partition wall is built with bricks. The height of the opening must be according to the size. There can be no mistakes. The boards are laid on top, and then the concrete is placed.
Concrete is made by mixing sand, cement and small stones together. There is a septic tank in each row. Build several rows, repair several, and open them in separate rows. One unified tank is not enough, and the feces are concentrated and used as fertilizer."
"Write it down and we'll do it soon." Jia Youcai quickly agreed, feeling full of joy that he could finally build a house. The people in Qinjiazhuang were eager to wait.
"There have been a lot of things lately. I will go to Qinjiazhuang in the next few days to have a look. By the way, the people in Zhaojia Village treat everyone equally and let them build one near the cave where they live. Each household will have one set. The wages will not be paid and will be deducted from the house payment in the future.
, He'er went back and calculated the cost of each set."
"How many newlyweds have there been recently? How do you count them?"
"If you divide the family, it will be treated as one household, and the cost will be recovered later, as long as there is no loss."
"I understand, then the entire Qinjiazhuang would have to build two thousand units. Wouldn't it be too much?" Jia Youcai was a little worried.
"Are you worried about not having enough materials, or are you?" Qin Huaidao asked back.
"The materials are enough, but if there are not enough, you can do it yourself. But the house doesn't make any money, and I'm afraid there won't be enough people to build it, so the speed will be slower."
"Don't worry about the manpower problem. Everyone is in a hurry to live in a new house and will definitely work hard. In addition, we need to build a cement road from the top of the mountain to the Qinjiazhuang exit. It must be able to run heavy carriages." Qin Huaidao said and drew a winding road on the topographic map.
line, and warned: "No houses can be built within 100 meters of the top of the mountain, and trees cannot be cut down. They will be kept for future use."
"Young master, don't worry, I guarantee that everything will be safe." Jia Youcai assured.
"Do you still have any money?"
"There are still some that can last for a while."
Qin Huaidao nodded, looked at Xue Rengui and said with a smile: "Brother Xue, tell me about your side of things."
"Two things. First, not long after you went on the expedition, a group of people broke into the Qin family village and were wiped out by the guards. The weapons were the same as last time. I am afraid it was also done by the Wang family of Taiyuan. I heard that the Wang family of Taiyuan did it.
It was copied by General Xu Shijie, who was promoted to the Holy Spirit, and I don’t know whether it is true or false.”
"It is absolutely true that the Taiyuan Wang family is involved in rebellion."
"Great, these bastards deserve their punishment. One more thing. In the past three months, there have been people trying to enter Qinjiazhuang to inquire about the technology of making green bricks, tiles and coke. Even if the village is closed, they have been killed repeatedly and some people have bribed them.
People from Qinjiazhuang are asking for information." Xue Rengui continued.
When Qin Huaidao heard about the bribery, the people of Qinjiazhuang were shocked and asked: "Is there anyone who is betraying you?"
"There are three. Fortunately, the core firing techniques are mastered by the guards of the house. They are very careful every time they are firing. No one is allowed to get close, and they don't know whether it will be leaked. Uncle Jia was worried about leaks, so he left the person in charge of firing in Qin.
They are not allowed to come out of the village, as they are worried about getting resentful over time."
"How do you deal with people who betray you?" Qin Huaidao's face darkened, there are always those who are unfamiliar with him.
Xue Rengui glanced at Jia Youcai.
Jia Youcai smiled bitterly and said: "We are all descendants of our old brothers, so we can't be cruel, and since no substantial damage was caused, we gave him a beating and let it go."
"How can we not follow the rules we agreed upon at the beginning?" Qin Huaidao looked at Jia Youcai with a cold look and said seriously: "If there are no rules, don't follow them. Otherwise, everyone will follow suit in the future and it will be annoying. We must deal with it seriously. You and Mr. Huang
They said that if they don’t kill him because of the first offender, he must be expelled from Qinjiazhuang.”
Jia Youcai hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "We'll do it later."
"Uncle Jia, favors cannot be abused. If you protect the three of them, you will hurt more people's hearts. Rules are rules. You are also an old soldier. You should know the importance of rules. In the future, this kind of matter will be handled by Brother Xue. If anyone else
If you betray the interests of Qinjiazhuang, your whole family will be killed without mercy."
"Here!" Jia Youcai and Xue Rengui sensed Qin Huaidao's anger and murderous intent and quickly agreed.
Qin Huaidao does not have to kill people, but must use heavy codes to prevent it in the future. In the face of interests, human nature cannot stand the test. In the future, more technologies will be placed in Qinjiazhuang. If they are leaked, the losses will be great. He said with a cold face
Asked: "Brother Xue, is there anything else?"
"Some people are peeping outside the village. If they don't enter the village, it will be difficult to punish them harshly. The name is not justified and there is a hidden danger of being exposed." Xue Rengui added.
"Then build a wall to surround Qinjiazhuang. You can hire people from outside the village to build it. Mix bricks, cement, lime and sand to make a binder. Just like building a house, it can be done at the same time."
"Remember." Jia Youcai agreed.
Qin Huaidao pondered for a moment and felt that there was nothing important, so he looked at Xue Rengui: "Brother Xue, the training of the village protection team cannot be delayed. In addition, you can recruit about a hundred more people secretly. The standards are the same. As a reserve team, the training will be left to you.
, I am of great use.”
"Don't worry, I promise to complete the task."
After talking about the main things, Qin Huaidao signaled everyone to get busy and took He'er to the study. He'er brought a thick stack of account books. Qin Huaidao flipped through the pages page by page, making sure he knew what he was doing. He found that Qinjiazhuang's expenses were very high, one hundred thousand yuan.
There are about 20,000 yuan left, but every expense is necessary. However, the magic fruit has made a profit of more than 100,000 yuan.
After closing the account book, Qin Huaidao told He'er: "I will give Brother Xue 10,000 gu in dividends later. This was agreed in advance and cannot be delayed any longer. Brother Xue should also have his own house in Chang'an."
"It will be done in a moment, don't worry, young master, but if we can't sell briquettes, how will we live in the future?" He'er asked worriedly.
"Brewing, I made a lot last time, and several people in the house are already skilled. You arrange for people to purchase the wine and process it. You must keep it secret. After brewing, take it to the Dongshi shop to sell it, and let your sister-in-law be responsible for the sales. A small jar
Ten strings."
"I'm afraid no one will care if it's too expensive," He'er reminded.
"It doesn't matter if no one buys it. At least it's well-known. The name is Zhenguan Zui. As promised by the Holy Spirit, only small altars will be sold. Each person is limited to one altar. The sale is limited to fifty altars per day. No more."
"Why is this?" He'er looked surprised. Others are eager to sell more, so why are they still restricting sales?
Qin Huaidao didn't like to explain what hunger marketing was. He found it troublesome and said with a smile: "Just do it. Your young master has his own considerations. He is worried that someone will rob him madly, so the shop arranges two guards to protect it."
"Remember." He'er agreed quickly, thinking that every time Qin Huaidao made a move, he was different, but in the end it was proved that he was right, so he didn't bother to ask more questions.
"One more thing. I want to free up some spare rooms in my house. I brought a lot of wool and cowhide with me this time. I will make woolen clothes and cowhide boots to sell, and I will make another boxful of money. If you have time, find a house nearby to make a workshop.
Go back and transfer the little sisters from Qinjiazhuang to make clothes and shoes there."
"Cow leather boots are nice, but what can wool do?"
"I'll tell you what to do later. Let's prepare first. Your young master is tired. Go to sleep first and put away the account books." Qin Huaidao said and left, returned to his bedroom and fell asleep.
After driving for days, the horses and carriages were exhausted, and my tired bones were about to fall apart.
The next morning, Qin Huaidao woke up, resurrected with blood and feeling comfortable all over. He saw He'er sitting by the window doing rouge. The sunlight was just coming in through the window and fell on He'er's fair face. Her luster was holy, her expression was peaceful and focused.
, the long eyelashes blinked, opened and closed, as if smiling.
Looking at this scene, Qin Huaidao had a primitive impulse, wishing to hold the other person in his arms and pity him. He also knew that He'er would not refuse at all, and was even happy, but when he thought that the other person was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and his body bones had not yet grown.
, Can't bring disaster, suppress the thoughts.
Perhaps hearing the noise, He'er turned around and smiled sweetly, like a mountain flower blooming in the warm sun, elegant, fragrant, refreshing, and the shallow smile at the corner of her mouth was even more intoxicating, making people want to be addicted to it.
Qin Huaidao looked at this scene and couldn't help but murmured: "Take a handful of Sunshine Wine, I am laughing, see you smiling, one cup to the white clouds, one cup to the rest of my life."
"Young Master, what did you say?" He'er looked surprised.
"Nothing, nonsense." Qin Huaidao stood up with a smile.
He'er hurriedly came up to help change her clothes. She was full of doubts in her heart. It didn't sound like poetry, but it sounded so beautiful. She also liked it in her heart. This was the first time that the young master said such words to herself. I will respect the rest of my life for the rest of my life?
Wouldn't it be necessary to... oh, I was so embarrassed that I said, "Young Master, can I write it down?"
"As you like." Qin Huaidao said with a careless smile. He didn't copy it. He didn't feel guilty. It wasn't a good sentence either. It was just nonsense. Don't worry about spreading it.
"Thank you, young master." He'er was overjoyed, as if he had found a treasure.
"Hurry up about brewing wine and finding a house. I'll go out on duty after I have something to eat. Is there anything going on at home?" Qin Huaidao asked casually, opening his hands to cooperate and letting He'er give the third-grade official uniform sent by the court yesterday.
Put it on yourself.
"Remember, we must get it done today. There is nothing to do at home. Uncle Jia and Brother Xue didn't come back last night. They should be busy at Qinjiazhuang. The wine seller also agreed with my sister-in-law and she went to clean and prepare."
Er said quickly.
After getting dressed, Qin Huaidao ate some food and came to the Supervisory Mansion.
The guard at the door recognized Qin Huaidao and saluted quickly, shouting excitedly: "I have seen the Lord Protector!"
The imperial edict was issued yesterday and has been widely spread. Qin Huaidao smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work, please call me your lord. Is there anything going on in the Supervisory Office during this time?"
"My lord, there has been nothing much happening recently. My brothers are all busy and looking forward to your return every day. It's fine now. If you need anything, please just give me your orders." A palace guard said quickly.
Qin Huaidao looked at the plaque and said with a smile: "I'll spend two ounces of silver to change the plaque and change it to the Inspection Department. The quality will be according to the standard. If there are too many of you, I will use it to drink."
"Thank you, sir!" Several people quickly saluted happily.
After entering the gate, the guards were practicing on the grass in the yard. They looked good and they were in good spirits. It could be seen that they had not missed a beat during this period. They walked to the office room. The room was still clean and no different from before leaving. I asked someone to bring the recent account books.
Looking through it, there is no big problem.
The three hundred people in the Supervisory Office have been idle for about five months. They should find something to do, otherwise the people's hearts will be unstable. But the only thing they can do now is to build roads. They have brought back 20,000 prisoners for road construction, but there are so many clues.
, how can it be so easy? Qin Huaidao took a pen and paper and made a plan.
The first item is to raise money. The prisoners are temporarily detained in Beiya. Once they are transferred, food and accommodation will be a problem. It will not work if there is no money, and it will not work if there is less money. You must first make an investment budget, how much is the total investment, how much is the expected profit, and annual dividends
The amount must be made clear, otherwise no one will vote.
The total investment involves how long the distance is. This is currently unknown and cannot be calculated. However, we can first estimate how much investment is required for one thousand meters. Stones can be thrown by others. An imperial edict from the court is enough. Raw materials cost no money. The biggest expense is cement.
, labor and food and accommodation
Horse-drawn carriages usually pile things very high. The road is so narrow that it’s hard to give way. The two-lane carriageway must be at least eight meters wide. Calculated based on fifteen centimeters, one thousand meters is 12,000 square meters. Each square meter requires about 400 kilograms.
Cement, that is, almost five million kilograms of cement.
One kiln can burn about two tons of cement, and the cost is less than 500 guan. The cement investment is 2,400 guan, labor, food and accommodation are about the same. The investment cost for one thousand meters is expected to be no more than 5,000 guan, and it is almost 300 guan from Chang'an to Hanzhong.
kilometers, with a total investment of approximately 1.5 million yuan.
Taking into account the benefits of Qin Huaidao, once it is opened, there will definitely be a lot of goods exchanges between the two places. Basically, they are long-distance, and there are only a few short-distance. It is not a big problem to charge an average of 20 yuan in tolls for a carriage. Plus the caravans have to stay and eat on the way, which will last for a year.
An income of 100,000 guan is not a big problem. Earning 500,000 guan in twenty years is not a small income.
What's more, I had to build roads to transport gypsum, so I just saved the money and could earn more from cement in the future.
Therefore, there is no loss in this account no matter how you calculate it.
You can do it without losing money.
Qin Huaidao went over the calculation again, and after making sure that everything was safe, he burned the manuscript paper without being seen. Just then, the three brothers of the Cheng family and the two brothers of Yuchi came over, talking and laughing, and were in high spirits. Qin Huaidao joked: "It's different when you get promoted, this majesty
Shaking."
"Qin Shangshu, Lord Qin, Lord Protector, you guys are polite." Everyone laughed and bowed.
"Stop being weird, there will definitely be no good things coming together. Let's talk about it." Qin Huaidao interrupted.
Cheng Chumo shouted with a sad look on his face: "Brother Qin, it's so hurtful to say this. Wanhualou, brother, I'll be your host. We won't come back until we get drunk."
"I won't go to the land of fireworks." Qin Huaidao refused directly.
"I can't go if I don't go. Let me help you." Cheng Chumo said with a smile.
Everyone rushed forward, pulling and pulling Qin Huaidao out. The brothers tried their best to persuade Qin Huaidao, but Qin Huaidao couldn't refuse because he was not gregarious, so he had to compromise and warned: "It's okay to drink, but you can't mess around.
It will be troublesome if it reaches the ears of His Majesty."
"Don't worry, let's just drink and listen to music, and we won't do anything random, otherwise Princess Yuzhang will have sex with our brother." Yuchi Baolin said with a smile.
"You have a conspiracy as soon as I see you." Qin Huaidao felt something was wrong.
"Hahaha!"
The group laughed happily and forced Qin Huaidao into the carriage.
