Thank you for the book friend Xiao Yjun, Liu Yang Yirenyi for the reward!

Jia Ji was the youngest son of the patriarch of the Jia clan in Chengxiang, and after joining the light knights, he became a military commander, and Zhao Wuxian saw that he was clever and sharp, so he arranged for him to enter Zigong's caravan. First, it is for overseer, once there is something to report, and second, it can learn something, walk among the nations, and gain a long insight, which can be of great use in the future.
Seeing him coming, Zhao Wuxian naturally knew what was going on, so he leaned on the railing of the car and asked with concern: "From yesterday to today, how much profit did Zigong make in Su City?" β
Jia Ji's face was full of joy, and he replied breathlessly: "Gentleman, within two days, a total of more than 2,000 stone corn has been obtained, and the Duanmu merchant has already calculated it, saying that if everything goes well, he will be able to sell 1,500 stone wheat flour in a month, and make a profit of more than 40,000 stone corn!" β
40,000 stone corn, Jia Ji has never seen so much grain, and it has to be transported back and forth ten times with 40 wagons with double oxen to transport it away!
Even Zhao Wuxian was staggered by this number. You must know that there are nearly 400 households in Chengxiang, with a total of more than 30,000 acres of land, and according to the average yield per mu in this era, one husband and five families will plough the fields, plant in spring and harvest in autumn, and one mu can get about one stone of corn.
That is to say, Chengxiang can produce 30,000 stone of corn in previous years, plus a small amount of soybean wheat and rice, and the annual grain does not exceed 40,000 stone.
And Zigong claimed that he could earn more than the total one-year-old harvest of Chengxiang in a month, and even if he sold it until the winter solstice, he would have a gross profit of 200,000 stones.
In addition, what Chengxiang has implemented this year is the intensive cultivation of the field method, planting wheat in winter and corn in summer, and there can be two harvests. With the manure, keel waterwheel, and ditch water conservancy, the production capacity per mu has increased to about one and a half stones. Coupled with the high-yield Rongshu, the annual harvest is expected to break through the 100,000 stone mark!
200,000 plus 100,000 ......
Zhao Wuxian showed a satisfied smile, and the haze brought to him by Zhiyao's plan gradually dissipated, and he now felt that he was too modest to claim in front of Zhao Ying half a year ago that he wanted to double the plan of Chengxiang!

After returning home after the shooting salute, Jin Houwu and even Zhuqing invariably found that there was an extra kind of white and delicate powder food in the evening meal.
According to the brochure provided by the merchant when buying wheat flour, the chef makes it into scones, steamed buns, leek leaf water cakes and other foods, which have excellent taste and can be used as a staple food instead of chewy corn and wheat rice.
Most of the nobles invariably liked this new food, although the Yong people complained that the price was a little expensive, but the nobles wanted to not get tired of eating, and they didn't care about it, they named it, and they ate it in the future! What the? Can't make your own fiefdom? Then go ahead and buy it at the millet market!
Therefore, when Zhao Wuxian and his party went to the market to watch, they found that Zigong's stall was still surrounded by water, and all the doctors sent people to rush to buy wheat flour, and even the temple people around a monarch ran out of the Qiqi Palace to buy it. As a result, Zigong himself had to stay in Su City all day and night, and he was very busy.
Seeing that Zigong could only bow his hand from afar, and he didn't have time to come out to say a word, Zhao Wuxian could only wave his hand at him and turn around and leave, and the manuscript of the "Book of Absolute Qin" just sent by Wei Ju could only find another opportunity to hand it over to Zigong in the future.
He couldn't help but sigh that Zigong was just a young businessman doing a small business now, and he was not the world's giant in the future Fubi Country. This kind of thing, you should have trained a few assistants of the same sect to come out to help earlier, and I hope that the people I arranged around him can learn one-tenth of the art of Zigong Breeding.
The monetary economy of the Jin State was not as developed as that of the Qi State, and most scholars still exchanged corn for it. When I was in Xiagongyi City, it took about three days for Chengxiang wheat flour to be sold for more than 1,000 stone of corn, and Xinjiang was more than 1,000 stone a day.
But at Zigong's suggestion, this problem was solved, and the corn obtained did not have to worry about having nowhere to store, and was directly pulled to the cattle and horse market in exchange for cattle and horses and other livestock. It is the arbitrary domain of the Zhao family, and when I see that it is the merchants of my family who come to buy and sell, they can even give discounts, so the price of cattle and horses is not much different from that around the lower palace.
Although in the name of the Zhao family, the general Xiaoxiao does not dare to cause trouble, but the heart of defense is indispensable, Zhao Wuxian ordered Jia Ji as two Sima, and one or two handsome soldiers in the city to protect Zigong and goods. Yu Xi specially took the light knight boys, responsible for escorting wheat flour to Xinjiang, and escorting cattle and horses, grain, and money from Xinjiang back to Chengxiang.
Because it was not until the autumn festival in July that Zhao Wuxian would enter the Qiqi Palace as an assistant sacrificer, he could still go back to Chengxiang to stay for a month.
He thought about it for a while, and then instructed Yu Piao, who was also working beside Zigong, to let him not accept his money every day when the king's temple people came to buy, and gave a stone of the best white wheat flour to the temple people for free. And, don't forget to deliver some small favors, so that the temple people can emphasize when they go back that this is a tribute from the Zhao family's concubine to the monarch.
Like in his previous life, human etiquette needs to be maintained from time to time, if Jin Houwu can feel Zhao Wuxian's "not forgetting the monarch's father" when he eats every day, then his impression of Zhao Wuxian will not be cold for more than a month in the future.
"By the way, what is the name of the temple man who went out of the palace to buy?" Zhao Wuxian asked casually.
"Gentleman, the villain chatted with him for a few words, his ancestor is from the Wei Guo Ning clan, called Ning Zhiyuan......"
When leaving the market, Zhao Wuxian and Fan's car drove by the wrong hub (gu), so he and Fan Jia looked at each other again, but there was no bloody conflict, but nodded slightly to each other.
Both of them were elected by the monarch to enter the Qiqi Palace, among which Fan Jia was still a black-clothed palace armor, and Zhao Wuxian felt that in addition to the Bank of China Heiqiu and Wei Ju, he had another competitor in the palace.
However, it seems that the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan have no intention of taking the route of wooing the monarch......
Wuxian has already inquired about Fan Jia from Zhang Mengtan and Le Fuli, and learned that he has also been famous for his steady and resourceful since he was a child, and he is very proficient in Wen Taowu and Wuluo, and from Le Fuli, he also learned about Fan Jia's "weakness".
"Fan Jia is so beautiful?" Zhao Wuxian was also a little surprised at the time, this person looked serious.
"However, a few years ago, I also competed with me for a dancing maid in Nulu, who is both external and internally greedy. If you see the woman you like, whether it is a scholar or a lady or a savage's daughter, you have to do whatever it takes to get it! Therefore, Zhang Zi once said in private, saying that he was like Song Guohuadu. β
Huadu, the Dazai of the Song Kingdom more than a hundred years ago, the head of Song Liuqing. At that time, the wife of Sima Kong's father Jia of the Song Kingdom was "beautiful and glamorous", and Hua Du looked at her on the road, that is, he watched her come from the opposite side, and then turned back and stared at her from behind, shaking her slender waist and going away.
In order to take away people's wives, he actually instigated the people to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, killed Confucius's father, killed Song Gong, and took Confucius's wife for himself.
Kong Fujia's son was lucky not to die, and with the humiliation of his father being killed and his mother being forcibly occupied, he fled to the country of Lu. Zhao Wuxian knew that his fifth grandson was named Kong Qiu......
