The red candles flickered in the spacious study, and the moonlight came in through the window lattice, complementing the steam from the teapot boiling on the coal stove. It was quiet and peaceful.
From the front position, King Li Daozong of Jiangxia looked at the sudden visit of Qin Huaidao with some surprise. He came to visit at night, something must have happened, and asked bluntly: "Master Qin has collected Khitan, Xi tribe and two places, destroyed Goguryeo, and is so majestic. I admire you very much.
You must have something to do when you come here this time, right?"
Qin Huaidao also said bluntly: "Master Li is fast-talking and resolute, and the juniors also admire him very much. Master Li, who is in charge of road construction at the Ministry of Communications, must know that the Holy General has entrusted him with such an important task. The juniors are worried about making mistakes, especially because the funds are huge.
This junior is not capable of doing the job on his own, so after consulting the Holy One, the Holy One will ask this junior to come to you."
When Li Daozong heard that it was arranged by His Majesty, he felt a pain in his heart. He should donate the little bit of family property that he had managed to acquire and give what he should give. Is His Majesty still worried about this and forcing him to die? But His Majesty
If you open your mouth and refuse to pay, it will definitely not work. If you are charged with corruption like before, it will be a big problem.
His heart was full of dissatisfaction, but his face was calm and calm. Over the years, his Qi-nurturing skills have become stronger and stronger. Li Daozong said with a smile: "The road is built for the convenience of the people in the world. The credit goes to the court. I am frugal."
You need support to use it, but the household expenses are also huge, so you can only squeeze out 10,000 yuan at most."
Qin Huaidao didn't know anything about Li Daozong and Li Er, and didn't care about it. He smiled and said, "Thank you very much. I have to go to other places, so don't bother me. Please transport them there as soon as possible. By the way, please make one point clear in person."
Okay, this ten thousand guan is considered as a loan, and there will be a 5% rebate every year, which is 500 guan. It will be paid at the end of each year for a total of ten years. After ten years, the principal of 10,000 guan will be returned."
Originally, Qin Huaidao wanted everyone to invest together and share profits and losses, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to convince everyone. After all, it was unclear whether road construction would make money. Secondly, there were too many people investing, and future management would be a problem. Everyone would have a say in making arrangements.
If your own people come in to do things, things will get messy. If you don't agree, you will offend others. We are all the princes of the country, so there is no need to cause trouble.
Borrowing is different. You have the final say. It is convenient for unified management. The return of 5% is very high, but it can help you raise money as soon as possible. At worst, you won't make any money building the road, but once the road is completed, you can sell cement, which is very good.
.
Li Daozong was a little confused when he heard the rebate, and found that it was not what he thought, but that he was giving benefits. Could it be that the Holy One was not suppressing him, but soliciting and showing his favor? His mind suddenly became alive and he asked: "Master Qin, is it true that the Holy One asked you to come here?
of?"
"Master Li is joking, without the Holy Spirit's will, how dare I come to ask for money?"
Li Daozong thought it right. He was really different. He quickly asked: "Who else did the Holy Spirit ask you to find?"
"This is a secret, we can't say it." Qin Huaidao refused directly.
"Yes, yes, I can't say, it's just me being abrupt." Li Daozong reacted and couldn't help but ask: "Is it really true that the annual rebate is 5%?"
"Of course, the Holy One agrees. When Mr. Li delivers the money, he will naturally give you a document with clearly written instructions on it, and the junior will also sign and pledge it. There is no mistake." Qin Huaidao said seriously.
"So, how about I squeeze in and get more?" Li Daozong asked sheepishly, but his eyes were bright. The five percent rebate is like pie in the sky. Where can I find such a good thing?
Qin Huaidao thought that Li Daozong would do his best if he took out 10,000 guan. Many of the Dukes' mansions had less than 10,000 guan in total. He didn't expect that he still had some money left. After thinking about it, many of the people on the list may not have much money, so he could ask Li Daozong to get more.
No problem, he agreed: "Okay, Mr. Li is interested."
"It is the duty of a minister to serve the court wholeheartedly. It should be done, it should be done. I sold a yard in Dongshi in the past two days. I should be able to raise some money. Then I will go to the child's parents' house to raise more, a total of 50,000 yuan. Do you think it will work?"
Li Daozong asked. Although he still had a lot of money in his house, he still found a reasonable source for the money. He was afraid of being scolded by Li Er.
Qin Huaidao didn't care about this. When he heard that there was a courtyard in Dongshi, he asked curiously: "Master Li, does Dongshi really have a courtyard? How big is it and where is it located?"
"A yard near the water was acquired to do the grain business a few years ago. The grain business has been difficult to do in the past two years. It has been basically monopolized by certain people, so the yard has been idle. But the location is good, right by the river, and the yard occupies an area of
It’s about five acres, and it’s still okay to sell it for ten thousand guan.”
Qin Huaidao was tempted as soon as he heard this. He needed a place to make a barbecue bar. Five acres was enough, and it was by the river in Dongshi. Ten thousand yuan was considered cheap. He asked: "Master Li, why don't you sell the yard to
How about junior?"
"Such a big yard is suitable for a warehouse. Do you want to be in the grain business?" Li Daozong asked curiously.
"This junior wants to open a restaurant and is looking for a site. Five acres is just right."
Seeing that Qin Huaidao was not joking, Li Daozong didn't ask any more questions and said with a smile: "That's just right. Let's make the price 10,000 yuan. You don't have to pay any money. We'll calculate it later. When will the money be shipped? If it's too fast, we won't be able to raise money."
With that said, Li Daozong took out a house deed from a secret place.
"Then thank you Mr. Li. I'm not in a hurry for the money. I'll wait for this junior to come back from Hanzhong for inspection." Qin Huaidao said without being polite, he took it, glanced at it, and put it away close to his body.
After coming out of Jiangxia Prince's Mansion, Qin Huaidao went straight to the next house.
Until ten o'clock in the night, Qin Huaidao visited ten houses. He had not finished visiting the ones on the list. It was too late and most of them were asleep. Qin Huaidao also returned to his house and went to the backyard bedroom to take a look. There was light inside, and He
The child was showing off something, with a smile on his lips but very focused eyes.
"He'er, you're not sleeping yet?" Qin Huaidao came into the room.
"Ah, the young master is back. Are you hungry? I'll prepare some midnight snacks for you?" He'er quickly stood up.
"No, it's too late. Go to bed early. Also, don't do embroidery at night. It will hurt your eyes and make you unable to see clearly when you get older." Qin Huaidao warned.
"Is this so? I think all the sisters in my family do it."
"Listen to me, you are not allowed to do it at night, and you cannot do it directly under the sun during the day. It will be troublesome if you hurt your eyes. Go to sleep." Qin Huaidao said in a stronger tone.
He'er quickly nodded in agreement, feeling happy in her heart that the young master cares about her. When she walked to the door, she suddenly thought of something and asked quickly: "Young master, those people from Wanhua Tower are all settled in the west courtyard. What will be their arrangements in the future?"
"Let them practice their voices and their musical instruments, and don't arrange anything else. It will be of great use when the restaurant is built. Don't let them suffer. They are all hard-working people." Qin Huaidao warned.
"I know." He'er smiled and left.
…
Early the next morning, Qin Huaidao had something to eat and went to Dongshi. He found Li Daozong's yard. The door was closed and the wall was tall. It was only about ten meters away from the river. There was also a pier by the river.
It's really good to be a grain warehouse. There are many big trees in the yard with lush branches and leaves.
Open the door and go in. Inside is a large courtyard. It is quiet and elegant. The ground is covered with fallen leaves. It has not been cleaned for a long time. It is best to tidy it up for parking. The courtyard is past the room, and you can enter the courtyard. The middle courtyard is not small, and there are more on both sides.
There are many side rooms, the backyard is larger, and there are doors on all four sides.
After checking it, Qin Huaidao smiled with satisfaction. There was no need to make any major changes at all. The room could be used as a private room. A large pool in the shape of a yin and yang fish was dug in the middle yard, and a stage was set up in the middle of the pool so that the surrounding private rooms could be seen.
Just reopen the door, open the window, and make changes.
After the pool is filled with water, the water resonates with the sound and spreads farther. In the era without microphones and speakers, sound amplification and transmission were big problems. We can only use other methods. The river is one, and the stage is elevated under the stage.
A large tank can also cause sound to resonate and reverberate, similar to a stereo, and has a reverberation effect.
Open an opening in the large tank and make a large speaker into it, which can transmit the sound in the large tank far away. The stage dome is made into an eight-sided caisson shape, and it can also be recessed to achieve sound absorption and resonance effects.
There is a river right outside the door, so water diversion is not a big problem. Hanging more red lanterns can make it a garden-style barbecue and music bar. There is no such open business model yet. Sit in the open air, eat barbecue, drink beer, and listen.
Professional-level concerts, business is booming just thinking about it.
After coming out of the yard, Qin Huaidao took the house deed to the county government to make changes. After changing the house deed, he went to his shop. Seeing that there was no business, when he walked into the shop, Mrs. Liu hurriedly greeted him and said with an apologetic look: "Young Master,
This wine... no one cares about it yet."
"No one asks what's normal. After all, it has just been launched and it is not famous. Let me teach you a way. Set up a stage at the door to fight. You will pay ten coins for a drink. If you drink one drink, you will be compensated for ten coins. At the end of the day, we will ensure that all Chang'an knows about our wine.
"Qin Huaidao smiled, picked up a cup and handed it over, adding: "This is the cup."
A pottery cup can hold three liang, and there are only a handful of people who can drink three liang of wine with over 50 degrees of alcohol in one go without pouring it down. It’s no problem to give ten guan, just use it as advertising money, but Qin Huaidao believes that no one can do it. In this era,
What people drink is wine with a sweet taste, only a few degrees, unlike later generations who have endured the test of time.
Mrs. Liu didn't know the inside story and asked worriedly: "What if we can do it, wouldn't it be a loss?"
"You will know after you try it. If you lose, I won't blame you. Just try to increase your reputation." Qin Huaidao said with a smile, without explaining.
When Mrs. Liu saw that Qin Huaidao was not joking, she said nothing more. She called for someone to carry a table out, put a jar of wine and several pottery cups of the same size, and shouted in person: "All the gentlemen and ladies who are passing by, come and take a look.
Look, our store has launched a drinking competition, one cup costs ten coins, and the one who doesn’t get drunk after drinking will pay ten coins."
Ten coins, ten strings in compensation, the bet is very tempting.
People passing by gathered around to watch the fun, and a drunkard asked: "Do you really mean what you said? I came out with ten coins and drank this cup. If I don't get drunk, will you pay ten coins?"
"How can we joke about this in front of the neighbors? When doing business, we must be honest and true to our word." Ms. Liu talked eloquently and gained courage and adaptability by selling fairy fruit.
The other party's eyes lit up after receiving the confirmation, and someone even encouraged him: "Dazhuang, give it a try. It's not much money anyway, and with your ability to drink, you're sure of it, so won't you just make ten ounces of silver in vain?"
Ten silver coins is not a small amount, and no one will be tempted by it.
A group of Qianniu Guards who were patrolling by thought they were causing trouble and rushed over immediately. The leader shouted: "Who dares to come here to make trouble and seek death?"
The people were startled and moved out of the way. Liu quickly explained: "It's Liu Lang. The slave shop is holding a drinking competition, and no one is making trouble."
"Drinking ring competition?" the other party asked in surprise.
Mrs. Liu had no choice but to explain again, and the other party's eyes lit up when he heard it. He was embarrassed to accept Qin Huaidao's benefits, but drinking and betting were different, and he was very confident in his drinking capacity. He immediately took out ten coins and put it on the table, picked up a glass, and was full of confidence.
After drinking it, his eyes were shining, and he saw ten pieces of silver.
But when the strong alcohol enters the throat, it is extremely spicy.
The other party choked and didn't dare to spit it out. He held it in and drank it. Suddenly he felt a fire burning in his heart, and a strong smell of alcohol rushed to the top of his head. His face instantly turned red. He couldn't help but shout:
"What a strong drink."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man collapsed to the ground.
"At the ready, at the ready." The accompanying soldiers suddenly became anxious and shouted one after another. If it weren't for Qin Huaidao standing behind the shop, they would have suspected poison and directly drew their swords to kill people.
One person felt his heartbeat and heard thunderous snoring. He looked like he was drunk. He waited for a moment and quickly shouted: "The team is fine. We are drunk. Everyone, give way and carry the person back."
Mrs. Liu was worried that something might happen, so she glanced at Qin Huaidao behind her. Seeing Qin Huaidao smiling and saying nothing, she was not worried and felt inexplicably at ease. After seeing the man walking away, she smiled and said, "Who else wants to try it? Such a good wine is the only one in Chang'an, so why not?"
Look at the name, Zhenguan Zui, it’s a name given by the Holy One, you won’t lose ten pennies, if nothing happens, you can earn ten pennies, wouldn’t it be better.”
Everyone smelled something really different, and the gluttons in their stomachs were attracted. When they heard that it made sense, it was worth spending ten coins to try it just because the name was given by the Holy Spirit. Moreover, the aroma of this wine was so tempting that they would not be willing to give it a try. First of all,
The speaker took out ten coins and put them on the table, picked up a cup and drank it down.
Without exception, this person also fell down and fell asleep, just like the other team.
Everyone laughed when they saw this scene, but they became more competitive and their interest doubled.
Several people dressed as scholars came over. After understanding the situation, they were very disdainful of the drunken man. They also handed over the money, picked up a glass and said proudly: "You guys are watching, and I will brew a big one in the wine jar. I won't be able to pour a thousand cups."
When we get the ten-guan bet, Qingfeng Tower will start."
"Okay!" Everyone accompanying him cheered loudly.
In order to show off his arrogance, the scholar drank it hard in one breath. The hot liquid went down his throat, and his entire stomach suddenly felt like it was burning. A warm current instantly spread throughout his body. His body became erratic, top-heavy, his eyes blurred, and he stood a little.
It's unstable.
The people accompanying him were ready to help with the ten-guan bet, but they were a little confused when they saw this scene, and one person asked: "Is everything okay?"
"No...it's okay. I can have another...cup!" the scholar said. He was dancing a little and staggering around. His companion quickly helped him to hold him up. He lost his grip on the pottery cup and fell to the ground. His body tilted and he fell into his companion's arms.
Falling asleep soundly.
"Hahaha!" Everyone burst out laughing when they saw this scene.
The scholars were too embarrassed to stay and quickly helped their companions to leave.
Liu's confidence increased greatly. She felt that she could not sell a jar of wine, so she could make more money by selling cup by cup. She smiled and said: "Who else wants to try Zhenguan drunkenness? Such a good wine is rare in a thousand years. It would be a pity to miss it. I can drink it."
If you are not drunk, you are a good man."
"That's right, I'll try it too."
"And so-and-so!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Qin Huaidao was in a good mood. He came out with a smile and said, "Everyone, please be polite."
"Is he the Protector?"
"I've seen the Lord Protector."
Everyone saluted and became more and more excited. Tang people were fond of martial arts. Qin Huaidao led the army to capture Goguryeo and undoubtedly became a hero and idol in everyone's mind.
Qin Huaidao returned the gift and said with a smile: "Everyone, this wine is brewed by the government of my country. I took it with me on the expedition to Goguryeo. I used this wine to heal the wounds of countless people. The weather was cold and the ground was freezing. One gulp of the wine will make the blood strong, so that the soldiers will not freeze to death."
It can be said that he has made great military achievements and was given the name Zhenguan Zui by the Holy One. This is a hero’s wine and a man’s wine.”
Come on, Qin Huaidao felt this and shouted loudly: "The world's turmoil comes from my generation. As soon as I enter the rivers and lakes, the years rush me; talking and laughing about fame, wealth and wealth, it is more than a drunken life!"
"good!"
"What a hero's drink, what a man's drink."
"What a time of fame and wealth, chatting and laughing, and a life of drunkenness. Mr. Qin, a great talent!"
"Give me a certain cup, I'll try it too..."
One conversation completely ignited everyone's enthusiasm, especially those whose family members had sons who had been to Goguryeo. They felt even more cordial and crowded in to have a drink.
Without exception, everyone fell down one by one, drunk on the ground, licking their lips, and murmuring about "good wine" in their sleep, which made everyone laugh and the atmosphere became even higher.
Not far away, Princess Yuzhang happened to come over, and she was accompanied by several friends, all of whom were high-ranking officials. Li Xueyan was among them. She stared at Qin Huaidao blankly, a certain string in her heart jumped inexplicably, her face turned red, and she praised:
"It's so wonderful that Mr. Qin can be so free and easy-going while chatting and laughing about fame and fortune, but he can't bear the drunkenness of life."
"Yes, his ambition is not in the temple, and he doesn't care about fame and wealth. He just wants to do something he wants to do. Unfortunately, his father is busy doing it and no one can be seen." Yu Zhang also said softly.
"If you encounter it, just buy some and go back to honor your elders." Li Xueyan suggested.
Everyone came forward slowly and curiously looked at the people who were sleeping soundly after trying the wine. Qin Huaidao saw everyone approaching and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "I have met the princess, the county lord, and several young ladies.
"
"I've met Mr. Qin." Everyone returned the greeting.
"What are you doing?" Qin Huaidao looked curious.
Yuzhang quickly said, "I heard that you sell wine, let's buy some."
Qin Huaidao didn't think much and said with a smile: "Go ahead, remember to taste this wine carefully, drink it slowly, never drink too much, let alone on an empty stomach, otherwise it will harm the body. Elderly people drink a small cup with each meal, which is good for promoting blood circulation and increasing Qi."
"
Everyone knew that Qin Huaidao was good at medicine, and when they heard that there were such benefits, they were all tempted.
Qin Huaidao continued: "I still have things to do, so I won't accompany you."
"Go and get busy." Yuzhang really wanted to talk for a while, and he even wanted to ask what was going on with the rumor that he had redeemed the lives of many Wanhualou women? But in front of so many people, the imperial edict had not yet been issued, and the names had not yet been issued.
Undecided, I held back.
Qin Huaidao didn't know what Princess Yuzhang was thinking. His mind was full of things to be busy with and he left Dongshi in a hurry.
Not long after, Qin Huaidao came to Cui Renshi's residence. The plaque on the door had been replaced by "Ministry of Communications". Three large gilt characters were inscribed in Li Er's own handwriting. There was a big seal and signature on it.
Wang De and his people were waiting at the door, delivering the seal of the Minister of Communications, tokens and other items, as well as an imperial edict asking all counties to cooperate in building roads and an imperial edict to donate the Xishi Mine Coal Mine to Qin Huaidao.
Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin and Luo Zhang also hurried over. The three of them would become the second-in-command of the Ministry of Communications. Looking at the house that had been surrounded by everyone's soldiers, the three of them were quite emotional, but they did not show it. Wang De left a few
I picked up the box, chatted for a few words, and took the people back to deliver the errand.
Inside the box are pens, inks, paper and inkstones for office use. They are all good things. There are also a lot of standard blank documents that will be used for official documents in the future and are of great value.
When everyone entered the mansion, Qin Huaidao said: "The first courtyard will be used by you to build the department, the second courtyard will be used by me, the third courtyard will be used by the branch office, and the others will be used as warehouses, documents, miscellaneous rooms, sleeping rooms, etc., choose the third courtyard.
Let’s build a kitchen somewhere, find some people to cook, and everyone in the Ministry of Transportation will eat together.”
The three people nodded one after another, and Luo Zhang asked curiously: "Will the Inspection Department move here?"
"The Inspection Department has been expanded by 1,000 people. There is not enough space. We will continue to stay in place. However, we must arrange 100 people to protect the safety of the Ministry of Transportation every day. They must rotate their duties every day. The personnel must be reliable. I leave this matter to you."
"I understand, I promise to get it done." Luo Zhang agreed.
"Why are there not enough manpower? Also, when will it start?" Cheng Chumo asked.
"Get ready. Set out early tomorrow morning and follow me to inspect the route and determine how to repair it. It may take about a month." Qin Huaidao warned.
"Follow the order." Everyone agreed.
"I have one step ahead, you can do whatever you want." Qin Huaidao said and left in a hurry, continuing to visit the people on the list until it got dark and returned to the entrance of the mansion.
Mrs. Liu also happened to come back, with a happy expression on her face. Qin Huaidao asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, how was the sale?"
"Young Master, they are all sold out." Ms. Liu said quickly.
"Just sell out, thank you for the hard work." Qin Huaidao said with a smile, entered the mansion, went straight to the study, and asked the people he met to notify Jia Youcai and He'er to come over.
When he came to the study, Qin Huaidao used charcoal to draw a sketch of the Dongshi courtyard renovation plan. The culvert, pool and stage were all clearly visible. Jia Youcai and He'er hurried over and were a little surprised when they saw the drawing. They didn't know what it was for, but they didn't use it.
Ask questions and be patient.
Qin Huaidao drew a separate construction drawing of the stage. The appearance and internal structure were all standard and clear. After finishing the drawing, he said: "Uncle Jia, He'er, I'm going out tomorrow. It will take a month. This is a courtyard in Dongshi.
It has been taken over and is going to be transformed into a restaurant. Uncle Jia, I will leave the transformation to you. See if the drawings are not clear?"
"The painting is very clear, no problem." Jia Youcai said quickly.
"That's good. First build the stage, then dig the pool. Build the pool with bricks. Mix cement, lime and fine sand to make an adhesive. After the building is completed, apply a layer of pure cement on the surface to make it waterproof, and pave the pool embankment.
A few pebbles are also stuck with cement to facilitate walking. A small plank road will be built around the stage, slightly above the water. Too many will not look good." Qin Huaidao warned uneasily.
"Understand, there are people in Chang'an City who specialize in helping people build stages. You are right to go to them, but the price is high. Moreover, the better the materials, the higher the price." Jia Youcai reminded.
"Then go to them and do it according to the highest standards. Don't be afraid of spending money. The sound must be handled well. This is the key."
Jia Youcai quickly agreed and wrote it down secretly.
Qin Huaidao continued: "One more thing. There will be more and more things going on in the house, and it will be too busy. Uncle Jia, you are responsible for the outside affairs, and leave all the things in the house to He'er."
"No problem." Jia Youcai agreed wholeheartedly. He was getting older and older, and he wished he could live in peace and quiet.
Seeing that Qin Huaidao had made it clear publicly, He'er didn't have to worry about Uncle Jia overthinking it, and her heart was filled with gratitude.
Qin Huaidao looked over and continued to warn: "Have the rooms been rented? After the wool and cowhide are shipped tomorrow, you first find some people who make quilts and leather boots to teach everyone, study more styles and try them out for sale, and then let them go
To make a style that everyone likes, the wool must be cleaned, rolled into wadding, and then made into a fluffy shape, and then made into a bedding. The fabric must be good, you can choose silk, Sichuan brocade, etc. Don’t be afraid of the price, have more patterns, and be more festive.
Do you understand?"
"He'er doesn't understand much, but remember it. I'll discuss it with Sister Mingyue and the others later. When we add it up, there won't be any big problems. How to determine the price?" He'er said quickly.
The selling price of bedding involves wool, labor, rental and other costs, which is not easy to determine. Qin Huaidao thought for a while and said: "The approximate cost of wool and labor is easy to estimate, but the fabric is difficult to calculate, and it is the largest cost. In this way, temporarily
If you sell them at three times the cost of the fabric, you will make a profit. Just sell the boots at 10% below the market price. It doesn't matter if they don't sell. You can wait until I come back to order them. Don't worry."
He'er didn't want to be looked down upon by Qin Huaidao and appear incompetent, so he said a little forcefully: "He'er will definitely do it well. If not, just find someone who knows how to teach him. At most, he will spend more money."
Qin Huaidao didn't say anything else. At worst, he would take over when he came back. He continued to say to Jia Youcai: "Let the people in charge of burning lime and cement get ready and come with me tomorrow. Let Brother Xue deploy two more teams to protect the house and the tenants."
I’m afraid a team of people is not enough for our workshop.”
"I'll make arrangements soon. By the way, is the coal still shipped?" Jia Youcai asked.
"We can't stop. We'll need it in the future. I'll leave this matter to you. Is it okay to build a house in Qinjiazhuang?"
"Don't worry, I'm proficient in the coal business. There won't be any problems. The construction of the house is going smoothly now. The walls and roads have also started to be built. It will definitely be different when you come back." Jia Youcai said excitedly, remembering that the house almost almost disappeared last year.
I can't open the pot, my heart is filled with emotion and expectations for the future.
Qin Huaidao didn't think much and asked: "What happened to the more than 1,000 acres of paddy fields north of Qinjiazhuang?"
"It has been planted and will be planted by the people in Zhaojiacun as you ordered. Qinjiazhuang mainly raises fish, and the two sides are separated. In addition, they are busy building houses. If everything goes well, there may be problems over time, unless they can make money.
Silver." Jia Youcai reminded that people are slippery, well-informed, and fully aware of the complexity of human nature.
Qin Huaidao also knew people's hearts, but he didn't care. He smiled and said: "In the future, they will beg not to farm. Believe me, the wasteland will be used for a variety of vegetables. In the future, workshops, restaurants, and the Ministry of Communications will be able to use it in large quantities."
Jia Youcai nodded quickly and made a mental note, full of curiosity, what could be more cost-effective than farming?
He'er couldn't help but ask: "How do the sisters in Wanhua Tower arrange it?"
"Let them practice music when they have nothing to do. Wait until I come back and treat them well. They will be your young master's cash cow in the future. They can't lose money. Have you written all the employment documents?"
"It's written, and it's here with me." He'er was full of curiosity, but wisely didn't ask any more questions.
"That's good, let's go back and rest." Qin Huaidao handed the blueprint to Jia Youcai. After the two left, he took out the map, spread it out, and studied the route.
Building roads is no child's play. Unlike the various machines of later generations, shield machines dig mountains to open roads and cannot build large bridges. They can only build small stone bridges. They must bypass mountains and rivers. If you don't trust others, you can only go to the site in person.
Survey and plan the route, but the general route can still be determined through the map, such as the shortest way, which mountains and rivers need to be bypassed, etc.
The candlelight danced, the moonlight was bright, and three people were silhouetted against each other.
Qin Huaidao took out paper and charcoal and drew a sketch, his eyes focused.
