The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

There are also teas that have been widely picked and used. There are two versions, one is Pu'er tea and the other is Kuding tea.It is said that in Yizhou, wealthy families will drink tea, and the culture of drinking tea is more prevalent there...

"If it's Kuding tea or Pu'er tea..." Liu Tao thought for a while, making Pu'er ripe tea, or frying Kuding tea, it shouldn't be a big problem, but the current traffic in Yizhou may not be able to transport it in a year How much tea comes out.

If tea can be considered a luxury item in the Han area, it would be uneconomical to sell it to the barbarians.

"Wait a minute, why did I forget that one?" Liu Tao immediately remembered something, and after returning to Yunzhong County, he immediately ran to Cai Yong's side.

"Let me write a letter to the Gu family in Wu County, asking them to collect tea?" Cai Yong was still in school, but Liu Tao came over in a hurry, thinking about something, but he was also confused after hearing the intention.

"It's not just about collecting tea leaves, it's mainly about making tea. I donate the technology and even part of the funds to run the tea house in partnership with Gu's, and at the same time only collect half of the tea house's profits for the next 20 years!" Liu Tao said.

The distance is too far, there is really no way, even if you want to send someone to supervise, you probably can’t do it well, it’s better to give up the profit, as long as half of the income for 20 years, if you give such a big opportunity to Gu, there is no reason for the other party to accept it. refuse?

"This tea is only cooked and drunk by the gentry when they are free. Not many people use it, and there are not many tea houses. Is it necessary to open it again?" Cai Yong asked after thinking about it.

"My technology is different from the current tea-making technology, and it must be a huge profit!" Liu Tao replied.

"Then I'll invest some in?" Cai Yong thought for a while, after all, he was also short of money, and had to prepare a dowry for Cai Yan and Cai Ying (Cai Zhenji).Although Cai Yan is remarrying, the dowry must not be less, lest she marry and be bullied by Liu Tao.

Chapter 313 Zhen Yi Sudden Illness

Of course, Liu Tao would not refuse Cai Yong's shareholding, he even summoned all his cronies to speak out his idea and ask who would like to be a shareholder.With more family members involved, the tea workshop will be more stable.

This also means that management will be more troublesome, but it may be more reasonable if the concept of a joint-stock company and the concept of the board of directors can be introduced. After all, the emergence of a new thing means a period of time to adapt and improve.

Including Liu Tao, he dare not say that what he "understands" must be right and suitable for this era.

"It seems that everyone is interested?" Liu Tao originally thought that only a few people were interested, but he was surprised that everyone present was interested.

"My uncle provided several things, whether it was wine, papermaking, or even books, our Zhen family has made a lot of money during this time. Facts have proved that my uncle is very capable, and the things he brought out are also very profitable. My uncle said that tea makes money , then our Zhen family will naturally do our part!" The members of the Zhen family came forward to express their views.

The members of the Zhang family and the Su family have also come forward to express their opinions. Since June, the two families have successively sent some children from the collateral line to Yunzhong to work in business and work as small officials.

In Liu Tao's case, these three families who bet on the bet at the earliest, naturally made the most money.

"The paper-making workshop started to make a profit last month..." Xun Yu, Yin Yu and others said that with Liu Tao providing technology, several cooperative paper-making workshops have not been able to produce better writing paper, but toilet paper is the first Made it.

Relying on Yin's channels, this thing is sold to the Jingzhou area, and almost [-]% of the sales are covered there.Facts have proved that this thing really makes money, even if it is small profits but quick turnover.

"There is also the Kuding tea tree that my lord mentioned near Yingchuan, which means that we can also build tea houses near Yingchuan, and there is no need to go to the Jiangnan area." Xun Yu further stated his position.

It turns out that it is equivalent to opening a workshop in Yingchuan and Wujun respectively, which is also possible to avoid management chaos.

As for Yan Liangwenchou, Liu Tao came forward as a negotiation, and Yan Liangwenchou's family, together with the Zhang family of Zhuo County, set up a bodyguard bureau, which was mainly responsible for dart transportation, and at the same time monopolized the commodity transportation work of the Zhen family, Su family and Zhang family.

After discussing with several families, they feel that this is feasible. Several families in Zhongshan County and Zhuo County can slightly reduce the risk of transportation, the cost of raising servants, and even reduce the cost of pensions.

And Yan Liang and Wen Chou, mainly Yan Liang's family, can thus accumulate enough combat and command experience, and gradually develop in the direction of generals.

As for everyone in Bingzhou, we can only wait and see for now.Except for Wei Xu, who is still a big family in Wuyuan, the others are gradually promoted by relying on military exploits, so the family... has no money, and the soldiers in the border county really don't have the habit of saving money.

Even if he defeated the five thousand Xianbei before, Liu Tao made a sum of money by selling war horses and weapons and leather armor, and distributed them as rewards, but no one could save them in the end.Seeing that the opportunity to make a fortune is right in front of him, he can only stare blankly.

"You guys need to learn how to save some money next, maybe you can consider running a wine shop in partnership in the future, and at the same time set up an escort agency or something..." Liu Tao teased a bit, but he didn't know that these words had just been said, and these people had already learn by heart.

After all, he has the reputation of being a disciple of the Immortal Family, and the several businesses he presides over are very profitable.It originally came from someone's half-joking remark about whether he could turn stones into alchemy... It eventually became the hottest topic in private, bar none.

I don't know if there are any, but following Liu Tao's "investment" is definitely the most profitable, and no one would think that money is too little.In particular, not only the "money future" is immeasurable, but the "future" is also immeasurable.

How to earn loyalty is not that complicated, just give the people below what they want.Liu Hong handed over the management of the Han court to the family and courtiers below, and obediently acted as a dung-making machine, and the people below could immediately shout "Sage King".

The rest of the time is much more boring.For more than a month, the border was very peaceful, but Huang Zhong and Guan Yu gradually improved the defensive measures in response to his proposal.

The people have also begun to enter the winter mode, and the weather is getting colder every day, which looks like winter.However, in this cold period, the people lay on the warm kang, and only the men in charge would add some firewood or charcoal after burning.

"The only way to mine coal is if conditions permit..." Liu Tao was lying on the kang, and he was reluctant to get down if possible.

"Coal, is it coal?" Ren Hongchang asked weakly, while Liu Tao was enjoying her lap pillow.

"Eh? Hongchang knows this thing?" Liu Tao was a little curious, so he turned over and asked.

"The hometown of my family is in Taiyuan... Occasionally, someone mines this thing in the mountains. It is said that it can be burned, but there will be thick black smoke, which is poisonous, so no one burns it..." Ren Hongchang replied.

"It has to be processed, of course it can't be burned directly. For example, add some mud to make briquettes." Liu Tao thought for a while, remembering that besides the yellow mud, there are other materials, such as wood chips, etc. This can be done slowly. groping.

In addition to briquettes, briquettes are also a common fuel in the north. I remember hearing a cross talk before, saying that there used to be an industry specializing in briquettes. This thing seems to be made of a mixture of coal and mud.

After thinking about it, he added: "However, the problem of smoke also needs to be solved. A special stove is needed, and a way to exhaust the smoke outside is also needed..."

Compared with the traditional honeycomb coal stove, the semi-closed iron stove in the west may be better, but according to the production level of this era, earthen stove or fireplace may be the best choice, after all, it costs some labor and is worthless Material.

In theory, as long as the air inlet is kept, the air outlet is led outdoors, and a space for removing the cinders is set up, then carbon monoxide poisoning should be avoided to the greatest extent.

"Young master knows a lot." Ren Hongchang looked at Liu Tao with an admiring expression, of course there was a bit of acting involved.A woman who comes out of the palace is so innocent that she doesn't understand anything. This kind of person has been eaten to the bone.

Ren Hongchang is a genius in this area, she is born to know how to please men, the kind who knows herself without a teacher.Right now, there are nine truths and one falsehood, the key point is that Liu Tao has become more and more difficult to see whether she is pretending or not, he can only take it as such.

After all, he didn't want to be tied up to death by a certain woman.

Ruanrouxiang is naturally very comfortable, but in troubled times, if he can't even restrain himself, then in the end, all beauties, gold and silver treasures, and all power will leave him.

"Master can understand more..." Liu Tao pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear.

"Master..." Ren Hongchang twitched a bit, as if she was refusing, but at the same time she seemed to be retreating. At this moment, she was lying on her side on the kang, looking at Liu Tao with tears in her eyes.She is obviously shy, but she can attract the most fundamental impulse of human nature.

Seeing that Liu Tao was about to turn into a beast, Zhen Jiang hurried in at this time, ignoring the ambiguity between the two people on the kang, came to him and begged: "Deran, save Daddy, he suddenly fell ill Great..."

Chapter 314 Zhen Yi died of illness

Zhen Yi is sick... This seems to be more normal, at most it's earlier...

Liu Tao complained in his heart. After all, Zhen Yi was supposed to have passed away in 186. Now counting it down, it was nothing more than a month or two earlier.Having said that, he still looked shocked on the surface.

"What, when did it happen?" Liu Tao 'suddenly' turned over from the kang, and then came to Zhen Jiang.

"Just yesterday I received a letter saying that my father suddenly fell ill after the first snow fell, and then his condition became worse day by day. Now the situation seems to be very bad!" Zhen Jiang said hurriedly.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Liu Tao asked back, it was almost a month ago.But one month ago, it happened to be either a war or a negotiation with Budugen. Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't be able to go.

"I also just found out that maybe my father thought it was a minor illness and didn't care about it. The situation is a bit strange now, and my mother is worried that something will happen if it continues, so she wrote a letter." Zhen Jiang quickly explained.

"Let's not talk about that, I don't have anything to do here after winter, if not, I'll go with you now." Liu Tao immediately suggested that he didn't want to go, and Zhen Yi's death would be in his greater interest.

In fact, he had been waiting for Zhen Yi's death last year.At the same time, it has been calculated for a long time, how to maximize the benefits after Zhen Yi's death, it is best for the Zhen family to be completely inseparable from him.

It's just that now that Zhen Jiang directly asked him to help, he couldn't help but hesitate a bit whether he wanted to help.Healing Zhen Yi would do him more harm than good... The problem can't be revealed yet, and he still needs to look very anxious.

"It's... really no problem." After all, Zhen Jiang is virtuous, but she is still worried about Liu Tao after hearing this.
