Irrigation equipment must be found out. The reason why the land in western Liaoning is bitterly cold is more because of insufficient water conservancy facilities, and many wastelands are useless.

Whether it is digging a well or dredging a river, as long as the water source can be brought to the side of the cultivated land, the grain production can definitely increase.

It seems that the winter here will be very cold, and the winter on the prairie is not pleasant, so the prairie tribes will go south in autumn and go back to hide in winter.It is estimated that the people in the whole Youzhou are also like this, um, the kang is relatively simple, and it has been made now.

As for clothes, fortunately, I found the knowledge of looms, and it is the best to make them now. There are countless wools on the grasslands, and foreigners look down on them.

Hehe, then it will be all cheap for me. I don’t know when I can get cotton. Alas, where is cotton?

In terms of food, we can only encourage the people to cultivate more by themselves. Unfortunately, there are no high-yield varieties such as corn and potatoes. However, it is not bad if we can get sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes should be found.

Now the most circulating currency is made of copper, silver and gold are not so popular, it seems that it is necessary to find copper mines, it’s really annoying, you have to do everything by yourself,,,,,,”

For Chen Feng's soliloquy, Jia Xu directly chose to ignore it.After all, everyone knows Chen Feng's problem with talking to himself.

In addition, Jia Xu doesn't understand many nouns, even if he understands a few, he can't help him, so there is really no other way but to ignore it.

It has been more than ten days since the first batch of refined salt was produced in Yanchi, and Chen Feng's caravan has also set off. Mr. Qihe, what do you think of this matter?Whether the opponent is reliable or not. "

"It's hard to say." Jia Xu frowned and replied: "If you talk about business families, the Zhen family is famous in the north, and the Mi family in Xuzhou is also very famous, but it seems that most of the business of the Mi family is concentrated in Xuzhou and Qingzhou. .

Ordinarily, we might be the first to connect with the Zhen family, but now that the Zhen family is too close to the Yuan family, it is more dangerous for us to do business with the Zhen family, so let's have a look first. "

After more than an hour, a caravan appeared outside the city. Because of Chen Feng's greeting, these people were sent into the city after a routine inspection, and the leader of the caravan was arranged to wait in the living room.

"Keep Your Excellency waiting."

Finally, Chen Feng walked into the living room with a hint of apology. He questioned his spies in detail and came out to meet the businessman after confirming the other party's intentions.

"My servant, Xuzhou Mi Zhu has met the general." Since he didn't know Chen Feng's specific official position, Mi Zhu could only address him as a general, at least this way he would not appear rude.

In fact, Chen Feng really doesn't have any official position now. When the Yuan brothers fought among themselves, he was only assigned to lead the army to fight, but he was not given any prominent official position. However, according to the strength of his troops and the people under his rule, It is more than enough to be a prefect.

"Mi Zhu? Are you Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family in Xuzhou?"

Chen Feng was not familiar with the name Mi Zhu, but he still found out the details of the Mi family in Xuzhou. However, Chen Feng did not expect that the owner of the Mi family would be the one who would discuss business with him.

"I'm being rude." Chen Feng cupped his hands and said, "I heard that you have a boat for sale. Hehe, I'm very interested. Since you came to Liaoxi in person, you might as well ask for a price."

"This man can't do business."

This was the first thought in Mi Zhu's mind. Generally, in business, you have to be courteous. At least you can't expose your bottom line so quickly. Who knew that this guy would say his intentions when he opened his mouth.

"Hehe, I heard that the general has countless cattle, sheep, horses and refined salt. I am also very interested."

Mi Zhu handed over a gift list in a polite manner: "I learned that the general lacks ships and shipbuilding craftsmen. It's a trivial matter, and it's not a respect. I hope the general will accept it."

"Huh? Gifts?" Chen Feng opened the gift list, and suddenly saw a few large characters: "50 shipbuilders? You mean you gave me 50 shipbuilders?"

"It's just a small thing, I hope the general doesn't dislike it." Mi Zhu was very satisfied with Chen Feng's reaction. At least his gift list has moved the other party, so the next negotiation will go much smoother.

"People can also be given as gifts?"

Chen Feng didn't know enough about this era. He didn't know that the Mi family had farms in various places, and there were various craftsmen in the farms.

Among them, the shipbuilding craftsmen did not have much effect in the Mi family. After all, the Mi family did not build warships and did not need to go to sea for business, so sending fifty shipbuilding craftsmen was nothing to the Mi family.

"Let's be honest, how much cattle, sheep, horses, and refined salt do you want? I can tell you first. I don't want money. I want you to exchange food, ships, and craftsmen."

Chen Feng is not interested in money. Now that he is short of food and craftsmen, money is of no use to him.

"That's the best thing to do."

The experienced Mi Zhu looked at Chen Feng with a smile and said: "Since the general still needs craftsmen, let me go down and recruit for you. Isn't the general a craftsman who wants to build ships? I promise to recruit 3000 people for the general within three months." Come.

As for the ships, hehe, there are ships for sale in Jingzhou and Jiangdong. My family caravan travels between these two places all year round, so buying some ships is not a big deal.

In terms of food, the general also knows that in this troubled world, there is nothing more expensive than food, but as long as the general can afford the price, I can still get it.

But, hehe, I have one condition. I think the general guards the land in western Liaoning. I think this will be the general's territory in the future. There must be a lot of livestock such as cattle, sheep and horses.

Although I don't know how the general dug the salt well here, hehe, let's be honest, I want to buy all the livestock and refined salt in the general's hands, I don't know what the general wants..."

In fact, Mi Zhu also has his own difficulties. In the peaceful and prosperous times, the Mi family caravan made a lot of money traveling all over the world, but in this chaotic world, business is not so easy.

Although Jingzhou and Jiangdong were not affected by the fire, there were many aristocratic families and factions there, and the Mi family hadn't established much market.

In previous years, Xuzhou and Qingzhou were the main sources of income for the Mi family, but after a series of wars, the people of Qingzhou were in dire straits. Although Xuzhou was better, it couldn't last long.

The market in the north was almost monopolized by the Zhen family, especially after the Zhen family married their daughter to Yuan Shao's second son, the Mi family had no way to reach out to the north.

The previous business of selling cattle, sheep, war horses, and fur goods was cut short. If it wasn't for the development of the family, Mi Zhu wouldn't have come to the north to look for business opportunities in person.

Coincidentally, Mi Zhu met the caravan sent by Chen Feng, and after inquiring about it, he found out that the west of Liaoning actually sells cattle, sheep, horses, leather goods, and refined salt.

Although he had never heard of such a big business opportunity in western Liaoning, Mi Zhu decided to take a look for himself. He even sent fifty shipbuilders from his hometown as a gift.

"You mean, you want to eat all my cattle, sheep and horses, uh, and all the refined salt?"

Chen Feng's eyes widened. In his opinion, this Mi Zhu really has a big appetite, not to mention cattle, sheep and horses, but as far as this fine salt is concerned, if the Mi family can eat all of it, they will not be able to eat it to death.

"I'm being rude." Mi Zhu also knew that his request was a little rude: "How about this, I am willing to buy five thousand cattle and sheep from the general, and three thousand stones of refined salt."

The bitter cold in the west of Liaoning is well known to everyone, and Mi Zhu also thinks so.In his opinion, even if the other party digs a salt well, it is estimated that they will not be able to produce so much refined salt at once. As for cattle, sheep and horses, although it is close to the grassland, it may take some time to get together.

"Huh?" Chen Feng looked at Mi Zhu: "How many goods did you bring for exchange?"

"600 shi of grain, [-] craftsmen of various types, and other supplies are on their way."

Mi Zhu smiled and said: "In order to show my sincerity, I am willing to give a cargo ship from my Mi family's caravan to the general.

According to the price set by the general, you only need to pay me [-] cattle and sheep, [-] horses, hehe, and [-] shi of refined salt. "

"That's it, I'm scared to death..."

This was Chen Feng's most sincere thought, but Mi Zhu felt that he had spent a lot of money and asked for a lot. It was still a question of whether the general opposite could get it all at once.

Chapter 80 Business Begins 2

"Well, uh, I don't know if Mr. Mi can ship silk, tea and other Jiangnan specialties."

After a long time, Chen Feng finally came up with a sentence: "Food is what I need most, but we also need other goods, how about this, I think Mr. Mi just arrived, why not rest here for a while.

I immediately ordered an inventory of the livestock and salt, and promised to deliver it to my husband before noon tomorrow. I don't know when he is going to leave? "

"So fast?"

Mi Zhu was taken aback by the other party's efficiency.
