Farmer of Shu Han

Li Mu just stretched his waist after finishing the affairs, only to hear the servant girl come in and remind her, "Lady, do you want Li Langjun to come in?"

Only then did Li Mu remember that his elder brother had been waiting outside for a long time.

"Let him in."

Li Tong came in with a small basket made of bamboo, which contained several goose eggs, each about the size of a small fist.

Behind him was a middle-aged man whom Li Mu looked familiar to.

"Sister, you haven't had lunch yet, so you should take care of your health. I brought you some goose eggs, let the servants cook them for your health?"

Li Mu is a workaholic, and often forgets to eat in order to deal with affairs. Li Tong's behavior made her feel a little relieved.

"I have a small kitchen specially rationed here, let them make whatever you want to eat at any time, don't worry about me."

Li Mu shook his head.

Now that the various workshops in Nanxiang are expanding and developing, the management of the workshops is comparable to the rich family in terms of food.

Not only are fish, meat and eggs constantly available on weekdays, but also as long as there is a certain amount of power, there will be a small room specially allocated for it, waiting for orders at any time.

It's just that Li Mu usually adheres to the principle of being open and selfless, so he has no guilt, so he usually follows the public to eat in the big cafeteria, and rarely uses the small kitchen.

"I heard from the people below that you have raised chickens and ducks well these days, why is this goose still there?"

As long as Li Tong can complete the things she explained and stop doing things that touch the bottom line like before, Li Mu will not restrain Li Tong too much.

"There are only a dozen or so left, not many. These geese can help look after the house. I saw that they are still useful, so I kept some."

A nervous look appeared on Li Tong's face.

Now that Li Mu is in charge of thousands of people, how could Li Tong's little thoughts be hidden from her?

She didn't bother to point it out, but just reminded her a little bit, "I don't understand these things, since you said it's useful, then keep it, as long as it doesn't affect the business."

"No, no, those chickens and ducks are growing very well."

Li Tong said quickly.

Li Mu's eyes fell on the man behind Li Tong, his eyes turned slightly cold, "I seem to have seen you before."

The man had always had a flattering smile on his face. Hearing Li Mu's question at this time, he quickly bowed and replied, "The villain is Li Wei, the steward of the big house. He has met Mrs. Mu."

When Li Mu heard it, his eyes turned colder, "The man from the eldest room? Do you need me?"

Back then, it was Da Fang's idea that he was used as a bargaining chip to marry the Liao family.

It would be fine if Liao Li was a hero, but Li Mu wouldn't say anything.

But in Li Mu's view, this person is only famous for his talent, but he has no talent, and he is arrogant. He repeatedly utters wild words and offends others, but he doesn't know how to restrain himself. Sooner or later, disaster will happen.

It is not wise for the Li family to marry such people.

It's a pity that the situation in Dahan was turbulent at that time, and the Dafang was eager to win over the high officials in the court, so he wanted to send her out as a cargo, and didn't listen to her opinion at all.

This not only made her extremely resentful, but also made her look down on the eyes of the big landlord.

Because later things proved her guess was right.

After Liao Li uttered the famous saying "Smart words make Feng Langjun attractive", the whole family, men, women and children were exiled to Wenshan, which became a big joke.

And when Feng Langjun's reputation was constantly being slandered, he decisively took refuge in Feng Langjun, which became the most proud thing in Li Mu's life.

Looking at Feng Langjun today, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is famous all over the world. Whether it is Soochow or Cao Wei, his articles are being circulated.

On the big man's side, even before reaching the weak crown, he was already a marquis.

And his own status also continued to rise.

Not to mention the weavers in the workshop, but those who came to Nanxiang from outside to find a way, how many people would dare not listen to her?

Mrs. Mu of Nanxiang, let alone Hanzhong, even Jincheng, has a certain reputation.

It's just a pity... Back then, I couldn't seduce him as the prime minister wanted...

Such a thought suddenly came to Li Mu's mind, and he sighed a little at the moment, which is really a pity.

That daughter of the Guan family, good luck!

The steward of the big room naturally didn't know what Li Mu was thinking with the gloomy eyes. Hearing Li Mu's question, the smile on his face became even more flattering. something."

"what?"

"It's all the daily needs of some ladies, such as silk forging. There are also some supplements. Ladies work a lot in Nanxiang, so pay attention to your health."

"This place is far away from Jincheng, and the lord sent a few servants here, all of whom have been trained, and each of them has a pair of excellent craftsmanship, and they are good people to serve."

Li Mu couldn't help but laugh when he heard that, with sarcasm in his eyes, "This is really rare, I didn't expect the people in the clan to remember me."

"My lady was joking, she is the most outstanding girl in our Li family..."

The steward quickly flattered him.

When Li Mu heard this, the sarcasm in her eyes became stronger, but her vision is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and she has neither time nor interest to care about anything with this servant.

She leaned on the back of the chair and said calmly, "I'm short on time here, and I don't have time to go around with you. If you have something, you can talk about it. I have all the things sent by the big house, so I don't need them to bother. "

The manager showed embarrassment on his face, "Lady, the villain is really here to deliver things. This time, the people in the clan came here, and it was the leader of the family who was in charge. It's just that the gentleman couldn't leave for a while, which made the villain Send the things here first."

Hearing the steward's words, Li Mu became a little serious, "The master of the Dafang faction? Who is it? Where is it?"

"It's Juro, and he's visiting Magistrate Li now."

"Li Shilang?"

Li Mu was really surprised, this is the eldest son, and he went to visit Li County Magistrate? County magistrate Li is from the Li family in Nanzhong, and the Li family in Nanzhong has grown up now, and even overwhelmed the Li family in Shuzhong.

However, the Nanzhong Li family was separated from the Shuzhong Li family after all, and they couldn't write two Li characters in one stroke, and the broken bones were still connected. I don't know how Li County Magistrate will deal with this Li Shilang?

It seems that this time the big house is planning a lot.

It's just that Nanxiang is no better than others. If Dafang wants to use the old method to work in Nanxiang, he will be disappointed.

Thinking of this, Li Mu relaxed again, and asked condescendingly, "What is Li Shilang doing here?"

"The little man just knows that the clan is going to open some wasteland in Nanzhong, so he wants to come to Nanxiang to book some tickets. As for the details, the little man doesn't know."

Li Mu didn't expect to get the news from the steward, but when he heard this, he asked in confusion, "What ticket?"

"Naturally, it is a woolen cloth note. Now the family wants to open a manor in Nanzhong, and the money, food and labor cannot be prepared in Nanzhong for a while, so I want to ask Nanxiang to order some notes with a longer exchange period, and then go to Nanzhong to find People exchange some labor."

Whom to exchange it with, of course, is to find local snakes in Nanzhong, and dragons crossing the river.

Now the Li family in Nanzhong is the biggest local snake there.

And Feng Langjun is the biggest dragon crossing the river.

Not only because of the reputation of Nanzhong Ghost King, but also because of the operation of selling labor during the Southern Expedition, a certain soil turtle became the largest labor dealer in the world.

After knowing Zhuge Old Demon's sinister plan in Nanzhong, Feng Yong went to the Prime Minister to discuss a business, and recommended Dongfeng Express with a cheeky face.

Now Nanzhong's Jiangdu Dudu's Mansion receives labor from those barbarians who raised the flag of righteousness to quell the chaos, and directly sent people to the warehouse built by Dongfeng Express in Nanzhong.

After the barbarians exchanged their labor for food and salt, the stationed lieutenant counted the number of laborers, took a percentage based on the number of people, and took away the woolen cloth or money and food in the warehouse, which was simple, convenient, and extremely easy.

In the process of selling labor, the Dudu Mansion will also send people to follow, the purpose is to register the final destination of the labor.

As for how to sell labor, who to sell it to, the delivery of labor during the period, the circulation of various materials, etc., these cumbersome things don’t need to go to the Dudu’s Mansion to worry about it. Dongfeng Express will naturally handle it so that the Dudu’s Mansion is satisfied and at ease.

Behind Dongfeng Express is the Xinghan Association, and the leader of the Xinghan Association is Feng Langjun, so now the redistribution of labor in Nanzhong is in the hands of the notorious ghost king.

As a result, the name of the ghost king became more and more deterrent to the barbarians in Nanzhong.

Even if your own family has both labor and food, and it can be transported to Nanzhong smoothly, it is useless.

Who wants to open a manor in Nanzhong to grow sugar cane without getting Feng Yong's nod?

Otherwise, leave the sugar cane planted for yourself to eat?

At least for the time being, no one would think about going to Nanzhong to grow food.

How much money does it make to grow grain in Nanzhong Kai Manor, except for the inheritance that can be regarded as inheritance, going to Nanzhong to grow grain in the past few years is definitely a loss.

So far, growing sugarcane to make sugar is the most profitable way, not one of them.

Obviously, because Dafang was not prepared enough in Nanzhong, he wanted to ask Nanxiang to be a guarantee directly, and then use the money to go to Nanzhong to find someone to buy labor.

In other words, Dafang may have already negotiated terms with Dongfeng Express in Feng Langjun's hands, so he came to Nanxiang to customize tickets as a voucher.

What puzzled Li Mu was, how could Dafang take such a big risk?

"The clan also believes that Feng Langjun can make caramel?"

"It has already been made. Last winter, a batch of rough sugar was shipped from Jiaozhou. I heard that it is made of sugarcane. A few days ago, Feng Langjun used this batch of rough sugar to make caramel that the world has never seen before. "

The steward replied honestly, this kind of thing spread to Nanxiang very quickly, and there was nothing to hide.

Maybe Li County Magistrate of Nanxiang has already got the news, but he just didn't inform Lady Mu.

After all, this kind of thing has little to do with Li Mu, because Liufang's center of gravity is currently in Hanzhong, and there is no ability to develop Nanzhong at all.

"Feng Langjun made caramel?"

Li Mu was immediately attracted by the news, "That's why the clan is so anxious to go to Nanzhong to plant sugar cane? Feng Lang..."

She wanted to ask "Did Feng Langjun agree", but suddenly remembered that since the big house wanted to order tickets, it must be connected with Feng Langjun.

It's just that Feng Langjun is now a long history of Yuejun, and he is about to lead the army to Yuejun to quell the chaos, so Li Mu suddenly became suspicious: Is it a coincidence?

Li Mu thought of this, and asked again, "Apart from the clan, are there any other families going to Nanzhong to open a manor?"

"Yes. I heard that there are quite a few. Now I don't know how many people are thinking of going to Nanzhong to plant sugarcane."

Hearing this, Li Mu's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking of Feng Yong's various actions in the past, and finally came to a conclusion: It can't be wrong, this must be done on purpose by Feng Langjun, it is definitely not a coincidence!

Li Mu prides himself on his intelligence, so he has always been arrogant by nature, and since he took control of the workshop, he feels that men are nothing more than that.

But for Feng Yong, I feel that he is really far-sighted and far-sighted, beyond the reach of ordinary people.

So in her heart, she actually took Feng Yong as a role model, and even had a little worship.

Now, when I heard that Feng Yong had made a new move, I couldn't help substituting into it: What is Feng Langjun's purpose this time?

Of course Feng Yong had a purpose, and his most direct purpose was to make the aristocratic families in central Sichuan spend money and food more happily.

The interest of the copper mine alone is not enough. The racecourse under the name of Yuejun Hualan is destined to only have a small number of aristocratic families who can participate, and they are also aristocratic families who are closely related to Du Qiong Qin Mi and others.

So Feng Yong drew another big pie in Nanzhong: sugar cane sugar.

This was originally drawn by him for the brothers of Xinghanhui, but now he realizes that this Nanzhong f*ck is a bit too big.

With such a large piece of land, the brothers from the Xinghan Society can't occupy much space at all. At most, they can only occupy some land that is easy to develop and convenient for transportation.

But most of the dignitaries are poor ghosts, and this situation has not been fundamentally changed, not to mention that their families have already spent a lot of money and food in Hanzhong.

So for the development of Nanzhong, Feng Yong finally felt a little powerless with the brothers of the Xinghan Society.

So he set his sights on the aristocratic family: It seems that they should be bled again to subsidize the brothers in the club.

Before going to Yuejun to take office, the last major thing Feng Yong did was to boil the rough sugar sent by the Zhang family in Wu County into brown sugar, and then distributed a small packet to each of the brothers in the Xinghan Club.

Then the whole Jincheng began to boil, filled with a sweet atmosphere.

Feng Langjun made something good again!

It turns out that sugar cane can really make sugar!

Nanzhong, Nanzhong!

Grow sugar cane, grow sugar cane!

Everyone in the Xinghan Club was red-eyed, redder than brown sugar.

I can't wait to plant sugar cane all over Nanzhong.

Everyone said that we want sugar and a sweet life.

After all, sugar can bring pleasure, a feeling of well-being…

Labor?

have.

land?

have.

But everyone rummaged through their pockets and found that they were already a little bit shy.

After all, the racecourse also costs money and food.

The temporary currency wool cloth bills cannot be printed too much at once, if something goes wrong, the old demon Zhuge will hang Feng Yong up and beat him.

Hard currency such as wool cloth is currently in a state of insufficient supply, which is a bit similar to the deflation of later generations-there is too little money in the market, and prices cannot be raised, which not only affects the enthusiasm for production, but also has no funds to invest in production.

At present, Xinghuihui's Nanzhong sugar cane estate plan is short of funds.

So after his wedding, Feng Yong yawned listlessly at a plenary meeting of the Xinghan Association and said: "We have labor, farms, Dongfeng Express, and rich families with money and food. We can be strong. United."

Someone humbly asked Feng Yong what is a strong alliance.

Feng Yong explained, "We can sell some labor to those big families, and then use Dongfeng Express to help them transport their grain to Nanzhong, so that they can grow sugar cane with us!"

"The labor is saved by us, so the price is a little bit more expensive. They can understand it. Dongfeng Express should also charge some errand fees."

"In this way, we have solved the immediate difficulties, and they will get the benefits in the future. Everyone is happy."

However, some people still think that letting the aristocratic family follow them into Nanzhong to grow sugarcane is taking away their own benefits, so Feng Yong scolded, "Idiot! Sugarcane is for sugar production! As long as we master sugar, we are afraid that we will not be able to make money." money?"

"No matter how much they plant, they still want to sell it to us in the end, or we have the final say!"

Let's talk, anyway, later generations have templates.

At the very beginning, everyone must be fooled into planting first, and the price must be high and high.

When the supply is sufficient, it will follow the market price.

When the supply exceeds demand, then I have the final say on the purchase price, not to sell? Then wait in the bad land!

Of course, Feng Yong didn't dare to take the last step, otherwise the situation of the great unity of the Han people would be messed up and the plan of the Northern Expedition would be affected. Maybe the old monster Zhuge would sacrifice his blood to the peasant uncle...

No, it should be called the local aborigines.

Even if Old Demon Zhuge thinks he is still useful and is reluctant to let him die, maybe he will hang him up and beat him half to death.
