Chapter 97 The First Bucket of Gold
Even in the case of economy, the soldiers and refugees in Bedi County need to consume 20,000 catties of grain and rice every day, and 10,000 stones of grain and rice are only enough to last for two months. In addition to the previous black 8,000 stones, it is enough for three months.
Jia Rong looked at Mi Zhu beside him and said, "Brother Zizhong has worked hard. Take a rest earlier. I still have some things to deal with. If Brother Zizhong has any needs, please feel free to mention them."
Leading the soldiers to patrol the city and looking at the smiles on the thin faces of the people, Jia Rong returned to his residence with satisfaction. After running around for days, he can finally relax. He wanted to take a nap for a while, but he didn't expect to sleep directly to sleep until the next day.
After a simple breakfast, I walked around the city and returned to the Taishou Mansion. Now Jia Rong's popular support rate in Bedi County is very high, and you can hear the warm cheers of the people wherever you go.
"If Brother Zizhong went to the battlefield, he must be a tiger general." Jia Rong said to Mi Zhu, who had just finished practicing martial arts in the courtyard.
Mi Zhu's skills are indeed not bad. His feet are steady. His arms are shaking hard, and the flowers of guns are turbulent. From his moves, it is not difficult to see the good aspects of this set of shooting. It is also the upper layer of shooting. In addition, after years of training, a set of shooting skills is pure.
After listening to Jia Rong's praise, Mi Zhu was also a little proud and said with a smile, "I can't go to the elegant hall. Let Zhiyuan laugh."
After a few words, Jia Rong pulled the topic to the grain problem of Beizi County. "Brother Zizhong brought 10,000 stone grain this time, which can only solve the two months of grain in Bedi County. When will Brother Zizhong come again?"
Mi Zhu's face flashed with a look of embarrassment, "Zhiyuan doesn't know the hardships of the road today, and the night in the Han Dynasty is rampant. I still can't deter those outlaws with a thousand private soldiers this time."
Jia Rong frowned and said with a smile, "Brother Zizhong, what's so difficult? I can send sergeants in the city to follow all the way. I'm sorry that those young people dare not make trouble again."
Mi Zhu was overjoyed, "Is this statement serious?"
Jia Rong nodded affirmatively and immediately said, "But it is also conditional to send a sergeant from Bedi County to follow."
"Brother Zizhong is responsible for the daily expenses, food and accommodation of these sergeants, and they also have to give the Taishoufu an additional employment fee." Jia Rong continued.
Mi Zhu readily agreed. This time, a thousand soldiers followed each other, and there was a lot of money along the way, and how could the soldiers be compared with the tigers and wolves in Beiti County?
After a conversation, the two sides set a price, and they were very happy. Jia Rong easily solved the problem of eating for a thousand soldiers, and Mi Zhu promised to transport grain and rice again.
A belligerent horse is worth a lot of money in the Central Plains, and a stone of grain and rice is always worth money. Mizhu has made a lot of money this time. Jia Rong did not make it clear who is short of grain and rice at present, and the nearby county can't borrow it. If there are ten thousand stones of grain and rice, it will definitely be able to overcome the current difficulties. There will be many places to use Mizhu in the future.
People are in high spirits when they are happy. Jia Rong smiled and said in Mi Zhu's ear for a while. Mi Zhu excitedly followed Jia Rong's back to the craftsman's workshop.
Looking at the two people who were far away, Zhang Li shook his head. Jia Rong didn't look like a little too much. Unless there was some momentum in the war, he usually did something that he couldn't do. Sometimes he was a rogue, but sometimes he couldn't refute what he did.
Jia Rong took Mi Zhu through many levels and was able to enter the craftsman's workshop. Mi Zhu sighed, "The defense of this northern county craftsman's workshop is too tight." Jia Rong smiled and didn't answer.
Looking at the rows of stoves by a huge pool, hundreds of blacksmiths worked hard together. Mi Zhu was also stunned. For a craftsman's workshop, it was worth spending such a lot of effort. Mi Zhu was very puzzled about this.
When Liu Blacksmith heard the news of Jia Rong's arrival, he hurried to come. A few days ago, although the food was urgent in Bedi County, the food in the craftsman's workshop remained unchanged, which made these blacksmiths very moved and worked harder.
Jia Rong looked at the sweaty blacksmith Liu and said, "Go and bring the things I asked you to forge a few days ago to the room."
In the craftsman's workshop, in Jia Rong's special room, Mi Zhu studied the item repeatedly for nearly half an hour before returning to his seat. Mi Zhu was involved in a wide range of business fields. After careful observation, he found the extraordinary points of the items in front of him.
"The adult craftsman's workshop is really full of talents. A small plow can be transformed so perfectly that it can really be called the first craftsman's workshop of the Great Man." Mi Zhu exclaimed.
Mi Zhu is a brother with Jia Rong in private. On the surface, he still calls him Lord Jia Rong. Mi Zhu, who is cunning, doesn't want to be caught by Jia Rong.
Jia Rong will signal Blacksmith Liu to go down, and then discuss with Mi Zhu. Jia Rong does not want to bargain with a businessman in front of his subordinates, which will affect his wise and tall image.
After discussing for a while, Mi Zhu jumped up, patted the table and shouted, "No, no, this price is unacceptable."
Jia Rong looked at Mi Zhu with a smile, as if he was sure to eat him.
It's just a cup of tea. Mi Zhu lowered his head and said, "Well, that's what Zhiyuan said."
Jia Rong's conditions are very simple. He asked Mi Zhu to build a grain and rice bank in the city. The price was determined by the Taishou Mansion. At the same time, Mi Zhu took out another 5,000 catties of iron and cut it into a thousand catties of iron after Mi Zhu's bargaining.
Jia Rong clearly remembers the opening part of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan Jieyi, merchants Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping funded Liu Bei's iron. Guan Yu's Qinglong moon knife, Zhang Fei's eight snake spear, and Liu Bei's double swords are all made of iron. He thought that iron would not be a rare item, so he tried to play with 5,000 catties. .
I didn't expect that Mi Zhu's reaction was very great. The big man's weapons can be made of iron. They are all good weapons. They are made of black iron. The word "treasure" should be added to the front, which is made of meteorite iron, which is the peerless weapon. The green sword in Jia Rong's hand is made of meteorite iron. It cuts iron like mud, blows hair. .
The iron is also fine iron. Although it is far inferior to the iron after the Tang Dynasty, it is the best weapon production of the Han Dynasty. After all, black iron is difficult to find, and the meteorite iron is extremely rare.
Mizhu is also relatively resistant to the construction of grain and rice stores in the city and pricing them by the government. Business families like Mizhu have their own grain and rice stores in various places, but the price is determined by themselves. In the year of disaster, it is normal for several merchants to work together to hoard grain and raise grain prices, that is, the so-called country. Jia Rong's move undoubtedly violates the interests of businessmen.
Secondly, Bedi County is located in Bian County. Warring occurs, and it is unwise to invest here.
Unable to stand Jia Rong's **, Mi Zhu finally agreed.
Jia Rong's "original" was also bought by these things. If Bedi County had sufficient financial resources, it would definitely not be sold so cheaply. The first bucket of gold through time traveled was obtained.
The wisdom of the ancients cannot be ignored. In the era when there is no trademark registration, just imitation is enough for Jia Rong's head, and it is a last resort to sell it to Mi Zhu.
Mi Zhu hurriedly left Bedi County the next day with the drawings and samples of the plough.
The operation of the workshop is very smooth. The creation skills of these blacksmiths may not be the best, but no one is born a craftsman. Jia Rong's series of reward systems make these blacksmiths work hard to build weapons in the workshop every day. These blacksmiths learn to make iron themselves to support their families, such as Now, on the basis of supporting the family, you can still be promoted because of this. How can you try your best?
Jia Rong often comes to the workshop when he has nothing to do. He chats with these blacksmiths. For a long time, these blacksmiths are no longer formal in the face of Jia Rong. Jia Rong often asks some blacksmiths with good iron skills to talk about their experience in ironmaking and share them with others.
The ancients paid attention to skills and not being passed on. At first, they were still a little resistant, but there is such a rule in Jia Rong's reward system: "Those who are good at building weapons and are willing to talk about their iron experience should remember their achievements and reward them with consistent money! The premise is not to repeat it with others and is considered useful by most people. Looking at other blacksmiths receiving the usual money, how can the rest not be jealous, so the good habit has been maintained.
Today, Jia Rong came to the craftsman's workshop as usual and looked at the blacksmiths with bare arms and hammers constantly beating. Jia Rong nodded approvingly. As long as the workshop continues to operate, it will not be difficult for some senior or even master blacksmiths among these blacksmiths in the future.
Liu blacksmith followed Jia Rong all the way to Jia Rong's own hut. Liu Tiejian was not as busy as the beginning of the craftsman's workshop. He usually followed these blacksmiths to play iron and exchange experience. The craftsman's workshop wandered around and smiled all day long.
Jia Rong motioned Blacksmith Liu to sit in the lower position, and handed a piece of rice paper in his hand to Liu Blacksmith's hand very heavily.
The pattern on Jia Rong's rice paper last time was only understood by Liu blacksmith after studying it. He couldn't help but marvel at Jia Rong's clever design. From then on, his eyes looking at Jia Rong were also full of admiration.
Liu Blacksmith carefully opened the rice paper. Jia Rong's painting skills were still very good. A three-dimensional object with a thick round upper part and a flat ring on the lower part was presented on the paper. He looked carefully at the kung fu of tea, just like the frown last time.
After all, Blacksmith Liu is just a blacksmith. If you are a man of knowledge in the army, you can see the extraordinaryness of this thing at a glance. If you want to increase the strength of the army, you need not only hard training, but also a strong auxiliary of sharp weapons. A million army with thick wooden sticks can beat the strong 100,000. The army?
What is painted on the paper is the spatium. Don't underestimate such a small spat. If the ancient cavalry was a tank, then the saddle can be called the cannon on the tank. With it, the cavalry will become a nightmare that the infantry can never surpass.
