Chapter 68: An Open Mind (2nd Update)

Guanzhong mainly eats millet seeds, and the poorest ones eat corn, that is, millet. Rice is still eaten more in Huainan Jiangnan and Jiannan, but the point is not this, Zhang De eats everything, but rice also has an important industrial raw material, that is, straw.

Not to mention the grass and wood ash, there are many straw bags, which are woven with straw, which is the most cost-effective. Especially when the river is dredging, it is very easy to use, and the flood rescue is also enduring, and it is still the most cost-effective and reliable after more than a thousand years.

However, the north is in trouble, peeling the bark of mulberry trees will definitely be beaten, although the willow is good, but it can't withstand three or five days of blisters and sun, and finally it is made into sacks with hemp silk.

Just this one, to say the least, will take thousands of times.

At this time, Zhang Lihong brought a piece of news, saying that it was the county magistrate of Taigu County, and he actually said that he wanted to engage in hemp and green hemp planting......

"In particular, the Tang Dynasty had the concept of attracting investment."

Lao Zhang clasped his hands and watched the rolling Yellow River flowing at his feet, and several large wheels were crunching not far away. There were two mills, one for wheat and hard millet and one for millet and soft millet for millet and one for soft millet

The grinding volume is quite satisfactory to Zhang De, and it is around 4,000 catties a day, which is equivalent to ten Khitannu who work tirelessly for a day.

This is still a relatively small design of the water-powered mill, because Huaiyuan City does not have the need to grind grain on a large scale. If it is in Chang'an, just relying on rice milling is a big entry.

Cheng Chubi didn't just grow muscles but didn't have brains, and when he saw the hydraulic mill, he was overjoyed: "Brother, if this is in Chang'an, we will send it." ”

"Earn these two jujubes, embarrassment?"

glanced at him, and then suddenly remembered that his stepmother was a big landowner, a powerful family, and a prominent family, and suddenly said: "If you have the heart, go back to Chang'an and open a mill." How about you and my brother, half of it? ”

"Brother is benevolent and righteous, it's decided!"

Uncle Tan didn't speak the whole time, but he still reminded Zhang De in a whisper: "Lang Jun, there is a lot of land in my hometown." Grinding rice every year is a big event. ”

"yes."

Lao Zhang suddenly remembered that he was a local tyrant in Jiangyin, and half of the paddy fields in the east of Jiangyin belonged to his family, and in autumn, starting from the foot of the east city of Furong City, spreading to the mouth of the river, it was his family's land, which was extremely spectacular.

"Yes, yes, I forgot about it. Uncle Tan, when will the people from the family arrive? ”

"The last letter was at the end of February, and a few clan elders sent clever people to Suzhou City to be small officials under the envoys, which can be regarded as ventilated."

"Alas, sugar. If it could have been monopolized, what a scale of profit it would have been. ”

Stunned, lost.

Uncle Tan was a little speechless: "Lang Jun, we have a lot of income on our books." ”

"Who thinks they have a lot of money?"

Zhang De let go of his hands, and then his back, very Li Baijing's posture of thinking at night, forty-five degrees to the sky, and said seriously, "The national strength of the Tang Dynasty is thriving, if you don't fish at this time, you will be ashamed of my descendants of the Zhang family in the future." ”

"Lang Jun cares about the Zhang family, and benevolence and filial piety are the best."

Lao Zhang smiled, and said in his heart that he was almost targeted by the eldest grandson Wuji when he sold poetry, but I still came back to life, master.

"By the way, Uncle Tan, the third brother stays in Taigu, no problem, right?"

"It was a poor county, with 350,000 acres of land, and this still counts the stone land. In a good year, you can only eat enough for two months, and most of them go out to find a way to live, and there are those who fall into the grass and mess around in Taihang. If the people can have an entry, then the county order is always sensible as long as it is not insatiable. ”

What hasn't the well-informed Uncle Tan seen? At that time, Mai Tie Cane had to be sealed as the Duke of the Kingdom, and the big and small bureaucrats were famous and unknown, and they had all virtues.

Speaking of Su Guogong, this is also the reason why Uncle Tan did not wait to see Cheng Biting Jin before. Because Cheng Zhijie was sealed before, it was Su Guogong, and he had the same name as Mai Tiecane.

On the rivers and lakes, although Shandong and Henan all sell the face of the Demon King Cheng, but in the right places of the Jiangnan River in Huainan, Lao Cheng is an egg, and the wheat iron rod who does not know a single big character is the leader.

It's a pity that Yang Guang's son of a loser was tossed to death, and before he died, he let his sons be loyal and righteous, if he only talked about loyalty, he might not have such a status, but the word righteousness, the people are really weighty, and only filial piety can be discussed.

If Yang Er is a little promising, maybe in a few hundred years, there will be an Iron Staff Temple or a Maigong Temple......

"This hemp silk has come and gone for 10,000 times a year, but there are still 6 or 7,000 times. If you still want to do business in the Western Turks, you can go west to the Mia River to stay, there is a field there, right? ”

Lao Zhang turned his head to look at Li Simo, the king of Huaiyuan County, who was counting money.

Simo nodded, and said while stringing money: "There is abundant water and grass, which is the most suitable for grazing, and there are seven or eight yellow sheep flocks, where all the departments used to trade. Xianbeier has to earn a lot every time. ”

Xianbei'er is talking about the Huyan Department, the leader used to be the Jin of Jielifeng, and he once followed the south to make a lot of money. Later, Jieli was defeated, but he did not stop the precipice, and in the end he was unexpectedly prepared by the governor of Fengzhou.

The death was tragic, and the corpses of the five horses that I hadn't seen for a long time appeared on the stage, so that the people who were still stubborn in the Huyan Department said that the Tang Emperor was really wise and powerful, and I had the heart to join it a long time ago.

What Zhang De admired the most was that this group of Xianbeier did not hesitate to go to Yongfeng to register their household registration, saying that they had changed their names and surnames to Huyan, and some had changed their surnames to Hu.

Basically, the political proposition is very clear, resolutely support the day Khan, and whoever does the khan supports whom. This made Lao Zhang have to admire, the consciousness of the national brothers is high.

"The northwest of the Miga River is the Gobi, right?"

Zhang De asked Li Simo again.

Tie the money in a knot, and order seven hundred, even if the consistent King of Huaiyuan nodded: "From Mo Nan to Xiakou Mountain, it is to take this way, and I used to teach the Tuyuhun people that I also went here." In the year when Tong Ye Hu died, I originally persuaded the Khan to go west, but I ......"

Li Simo was full of emotion, but Lao Zhang sneered, you Khan are not stupid, don't we have to work hard to kill you?

There were a lot of things that happened in the second year of Zhenguan, but that was the year before last, and the Western Turks are not peaceful now, and they will be meat in a bowl in the future.

But no matter what, the boundary of Juyanhai is definitely a good place to make a lot of fish.

Because it doesn't matter here, especially the Tang army is not much nearby, and the Turks are dead again, they can legally avoid taxes.

Since last year, Juyanhai has been a bit prosperous. Since Lao Zhang has come to Xihetao, how can he not let people inquire about the news?

There are a lot of things traded there, but there are not many things used to load things, so Zhang De is now rushing to make a simple sack weaving machine, and he is also preparing to make more money.

Besides, there is hemp rope, the rope sleeve on the grassland alone can be sold for money, and the amount is very large, fur bundling, grain packing, tent fixing, enclosure coordinates, and a variety of protection uses, the most suitable for the desert grassland environment.

With Li Simo's name, coupled with the qualifications of the dignified Tang Baron, it is absolutely no problem to throw Zhu Hu on his face.

And most of the people under Li Simo are from the old department of Jieli, and they don't bird him much, so they ran to plan for Li Dong when they lost their thinking power, and the entire Turkic remnants are like a group of mad dogs that have escaped the reins, Lao Zhang can still do it if they give them a little sweetness.

Therefore, officials still have to keep pace with the times, and if they are poor, they will think about change. I look at this Taigu county order, and I have a little open thinking. Fourth brother, send a post over and make an appointment for dinner. ”

"Da Lang, are we still going to Hedong?"

"How else? I'm also going to go to the Dingxiang Governor's Mansion to send some money to my uncle. ”

Zhang De suddenly remembered something, and asked Li Simo, who had re-stringed money, "King of the county, how about escorting me with five hundred knights?" ”

"Tough and stubborn, I'm afraid there will be rumors."

"No armor, one man, one bow and two horses. Package the trip to eat, drink and grass, 200 wen per person a day. ”

"Five hundred wen."

"Five hundred wen is five hundred wen."

"It's okay to come back later that night, greet Zou Guogong for me."

Zhang De had to admit that Li Simo, who gave up treatment and revenge on society, completely lost the basic qualities of the Turks.
