Great Wei Nengchen

Liu Bei's army is fighting with the Baiyue tribe, and the consumption of weapons is very large. We can sell some of the refined iron we smelt to them, even if it is defending the country against enemies, but the price must be high, not cheap! "

Xiao Yi is very satisfied with the situation in the mining area. In this era, there is no heavy machinery or high explosives. It is all the work of the common people digging with picks and carried by people on their shoulders. It is already very good to be able to produce thousands of cars of minerals a day. incredible.

The common people were very enthusiastic and they divided into three shifts to dig day and night. Even women and children came to help. Momentum, someone fainted from exhaustion...

Those who have meritorious deeds will naturally be rewarded heavily. Xiao Yi has the right to open a government and manage affairs, and he can appoint officials on his own. award!

However, there is also a problem, that is, in the unit of weight, coal and iron ore are calculated by car, but the car can be big or small, and some are full, so how much is a car? This is very inconvenient for the statistics of production and goods transactions !

The weight unit of the Han Dynasty: ten kui weighs one baht, 24 baht weighs one tael, 16 taels weighs one catty, and 120 catties weighs one stone. It's a bit unusable.

Therefore, with a swipe of a pen, Xiao Yi formulated a new weight unit: [-] jin is one ton, and [-] jin is one square, so that when digging and selling coal mines, it will be much easier to settle accounts.

"Da Sima has the wisdom of heaven and man - benefiting the common people and admired by all people!"

"My lords are serious, but I hope to work together to appease the civil uprising in the Central Plains. The common people are really suffering!"

"promise!"

Facing the great situation, the civil and military officials were smiling and singing praises constantly, while Xiao Yi kept smiling, but his heart was up and down, things were not that simple!

This time when the class teacher returned to the court, he passed through the territory of Runan County. Xiao Yi went on a killing spree and wiped out countless corrupt officials, but he also offended many people. The reason why he was safe and sound:

One is that he has outstanding military exploits and arrogance, and kills corrupt officials. He has an upright banner, which deters the world!

The second is that he discovered the mine and used the coal, iron, and salt he dug out to rescue the people of Runan County, stabilize the situation in Yuzhou, and ease the civil uprising in the Central Plains!

With the exploration of the diggers, gold, copper, tin, lead, graphite... many minerals were discovered one after another around Pingdingshan. .

Someone has carefully estimated that within three years, a mining city will be formed here, and the value of the ore produced every year is comparable to the tax of a big state, or even more. Mining can be compared to farming to earn money!

Since ancient times, money has been the most touching. Now that the treasury is empty and civil upheavals are frequent, it is time for the country to spend money. Faced with the huge profits in the mining area, I don’t know how many people are jealous. I am afraid that it will not be long before someone will come to share a piece of the pie. !

"Report to the Great Sima: Master Zijian was ordered by the Prime Minister to come to reward the meritorious soldiers. The convoy has already arrived at the foot of the mountain!"

"The new Yuzhou Mu, Sima Fang, came to pay a visit to Master Sima, and is waiting outside the gate of the camp!"

"Liang Xiaoyu from the Liang family in Jixian County is also here to visit Lord Sima, and is also waiting outside the camp gate!"

…………

As Xiao Yi expected, the meeting was not over yet. Three guests came here one after another. They nominally paid a visit to him, but in fact they all came for the 'Golden Baby', and their backgrounds were not small!

Cao Zhi is talented and intelligent, and he is one of the most popular candidates for heir. This time he came to Runan County suddenly, and he must represent the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He wants to get a share of the mine's profits, but he doesn't know how big the appetite of the traitor is. He is going to play the political card or the emotional card ?

In addition, during the southern expedition of the army, Cao Zhi has been sitting in Xuchang City, handling the government affairs of the court, showing a good ability to govern the country, and also won the praise of the ministers.

Now that Cao Cao is old and weak, the issue of heirs can no longer be delayed, and the struggle between the several sons of the Cao family has also reached a fever pitch. The fourth son took the initiative to invite Ying to come here. I am afraid that he has other thoughts?

Yuzhou Mu was originally Xiahou Dun, but this one-eyed general fought north and south, and had no time to deal with government affairs. Small matters were decided by the eunuchs themselves, and major events were reported to the court, so that the government affairs were extremely chaotic. This is one of the reasons for the rampant corruption of officials.

Sima Fang, courtesy name 'Jiangong', Hanoi native, was born in a noble family. He once served as Luoyang Ling and Jing Zhaoyin, and has rich experience in politics. The imperial court sent him to be the shepherd of Yuzhou. It seems that he also wants to rectify the administration of officials. In addition, I want to share a share with the power of the powerful as a big official of the frontier!

Needless to say, Liang Xiaoyu, who is known as the world's most wealthy businessman, has the most keen sense of business, and if there is profit going there, he must smell the smell of the mine and make a fortune in no time.

Three guests came, logically speaking, they should be interviewed one after another according to their status: Cao Zhi, Sima Fang, Liang Xiaoyu, but Xiao Yi didn't hesitate at all, he asked Liang Xiaoyu to come in first, and later When we meet each other, no matter what his status is, good friends are the most important thing!

"The villain has seen Master Sima -- invincible in every attack, invincible in all battles!"

"Wuyou has seen the world's most wealthy businessman - business is booming, and wealth is making a lot of money!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

I haven't seen her for a few years, but Liang Xiaoyu has become even more handsome, with a round face and a big belly, she can't see her feet when she stands up straight, and if she weighs her, she is more than [-] catties conservatively!

His personal taste has not changed, he is still covered in gold ornaments, he looks like a golden man from a distance, standing inside the tent at this time, his expression is a little cautious, when he sees Xiao Yi coming in, he immediately kneels down and salutes!

Xiao Yi didn't stop him, but also knelt on the ground and treated him with equal courtesy. The two looked at each other, patted each other's shoulders, and laughed loudly...

Liang Xiaoyu was recently selling salt in Xuzhou. He heard that there was a huge mine in Runan County, so he came here in a hurry. Before that, he was secretly worried. Although he and Xiao Yi were old friends, as time went by, the difference in status became more and more When it gets too big, the other party still holds the power of life and death!

It's human nature to be rich and easy to have a wife, and expensive to make friends. Liang Xiaoyu is afraid that his words and deeds will be inappropriate, which will lead to death, so he is so cautious in his words and deeds, and meets each other with a kneeling ceremony!

Don't forget, when King Yin-Chen Sheng was poor and plowing the fields, he also said to his poor friends, "If you are rich and honored, don't forget each other." Sent to the gate of hell!

What I didn't expect was that among the three guests who came, I was the first to be received. What I didn't expect was that Xiao Yi bowed down to a businessman with the honor of the Great Sima, but Liang Xiaoyu didn't say anything. My heart was overwhelmed with gratitude.

At the same time, Sun Shangxiang and the little queen also appeared with their maids. They first saluted the guests, and then served delicious food and wine, just like a housewife, and Liang Xiaoyu praised: "Big brother is a big brother. The peach blossoms in the world are always the best beauties!

Next, the two sat facing each other, drinking and eating meat, and talking about the past, just like returning to the Crouching Tiger Pavilion, returning to their youth, one is a down-and-out wine seller, and the other is a poor little Taoist priest!

"I heard that my elder brother Yemeng Tiandi pointed out that he found a huge mine, so my younger brother ran over brazenly. If the sale of coal and salt is handed over to the Liang family's caravan to take care of it, it will ensure a lot of money!

However, the profit is still a bit small by selling coal lumps directly, and it is not convenient for people to use. My younger brother has been thinking hard for many days and plans to make a kind of coal cake. The size and weight are the same, which is both beautiful and practical. Great deal!

The quality of the mineral salt is excellent, and you can sell some to the grasslands in exchange for a large number of cattle, sheep, horses, and camels, and then drive them back to the mainland of the Central Plains, and the price can increase by more than ten times..."

No wonder Liang Xiaoyu made a fortune. He has a keen sense of business and is extremely active in thinking. If his operation method is followed, the income of the Pingdingshan mining area will definitely increase exponentially!

More importantly, he doesn't eat alone, he only needs coal and half of the mineral salt sales rights. As for the iron ore and the other half of the mineral salt, it is left to another chaebol Zhen's family. Don't forget Xiao Yi's third wife, who is Miss Zhen's family, you can't get close!

"Know how to advance and retreat, know how to choose and reject, and don't be enslaved by money. My brother is really a man of great wisdom. If he abandons business and enters politics, he must be one of the nine ministers!

The business of coal and mineral salt will be handled by the Liang family caravan, but there is one thing to note: the export price must be high, not cheap for foreigners, and the domestic sales price must be low, so take care of the poor! "

Xiao Yi nodded in satisfaction, took out a scroll from his pocket, and slowly unfolded it on the table. On it was a strange stove with a long chimney pipe, and an oval briquette filled with small hole...

Burning coal in a brazier not only wastes heat and pollutes the environment, but is also prone to gas poisoning. There used to be local tyrants who became rich and used high-quality coal for cooking, cooking wine, and heating at home, and did not pay attention to the ventilation of the house. During the night, the whole family was wiped out without any scars, which caused a great panic, thinking that there was a ghost!

Nowadays, coal is supplied in large quantities in the market. In order to avoid further accidents, Xiao Yi 'invented' a new method, smashing the raw coal into powder, adding lime, sawdust, straw, loess, water...to reshape it into an ellipsoid, with sixteen in the middle A hole, this is honeycomb!

Briquette saves materials, has a simple process, burns for a longer time, and is easy to transport, and the price is naturally low. Even some poor families can use it for heating and cooking.

The stove is even simpler. If you are a poor family, you can use tiles, yellow mud, sand... to make a simple small mud stove, and use a bamboo tube as a chimney. Although the appearance is not very beautiful, it is absolutely practical for living at home.

As for wealthy families, you can use brass, pig iron, yellow mud, red bricks... to make more exquisite and movable stoves, and you can also match some barbecue racks, hot pots, etc. The Liang family caravan can take the opportunity to make more. Earn a fortune!

"Eldest brother really has the wisdom of heaven and man. If he abandons his official position and goes into business, he will definitely become the world's most wealthy businessman, possessing wealth beyond rivals. The younger brother is convinced and takes it away!"

Liang Xiaoyu quickly understood the purpose of the stove and briquettes, as well as the great business opportunities involved, then put the blueprints in her arms, and ran to the mining area to inspect...

Xiao Yi returned to the tent of the Chinese army, ready to receive the second guest - Sima Fang!

Chapter 1360 Recruiting Talents, Growing Wings ([-])

"The younger generation has seen Mr. Jiangong - in good health and long-lasting blessings!"

"What is the virtue of this old man, dare to work with Da Sima out of the tent to greet him--sin, sin!"
