Ancient promotion routine

There are many mountains here in Xizhou, so there should be a lot of limestone.

As for whether burning limestone can remove the carbon dioxide in it to obtain slaked lime, Zhang Yanjin is not sure, after all, he was not in this industry at the beginning.But he can always give it a try, and find other ways if it's a big deal.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yanjin took Zhang Wuer and others up the mountain.

After finding several kinds of limestone-like stones, Zhang Yanjin asked people to bring these stones to the brick firing factory.

After firing, exhausting and other processes, the workers took out the fired finished product and placed it in front of Zhang Yanjin.

He looked at the white powdery thing in the middle, his face was happy, and he immediately poured water on it.

Just hearing a stabbing sound, layers of small bubbles were set off on the white powder.

"Erlang be careful!" Zhang Wuer grabbed Zhang Yanjin's arm and pulled Zhang Yanjin aside.

Zhang Yanjin was not afraid at all. He pointed at the white powdery thing with a smile, and said to Wang Jiu, "It's this kind of stone. You pull it out of the mountain and burn it first. Make it into an emulsion and apply it layer by layer on the wall.”

Zhang Wu'er was stunned, unable to react.

"This white layer is the face of the redstone brick wall, and it looks good when painted like this."

Zhang Yanjin patted Zhang Wuer's shoulder, stood up and said: "It's just that when this kind of thing is just added to water, it may become hot, so don't touch it directly. Even if it doesn't heat up, you can't touch it directly with your hands, otherwise will get hurt."

Zhang Yanjin carefully instructed that slaked lime will turn into calcium hydroxide when it meets water. This kind of thing is corrosive, and once it touches the skin, the skin will definitely be burned. He must instruct the workers in advance what needs to be paid attention to, so as not to cause unfavorable necessary trouble.

"Once it touches it, it must be rinsed quickly and abundantly with clean water, and then wipe the vinegar on it." Zhang Yanjin thought for a while and said again.Vinegar is acidic, and calcium hydroxide is alkaline. After the two meet and neutralize, some dangers will be reduced.

Although Zhang Wuer was usually impulsive, seeing Zhang Yanjin speaking to him so seriously at this time, he unconsciously became serious, remembering everything Zhang Yanjin said.

After arranging everything, Zhang Yanjin followed Wang Shi and Wang Jiu to the coal mining place.

"Erlang, when mining coal, there will always be these small coal residues. These small coal residues are not easy to burn, so no one buys them. After a long time, they are piled up here." Wang Shi pointed to the piled up small coal residues. .

Looking at the piled cinders, Zhang Yanjin fell into deep thought.These cinders are indeed not easy to burn, like chicken ribs, it is a pity to discard them, and tasteless to eat. He must find a way to convert these small cinders into other things to sell.

The few people walked around again, and Zhang Yanjin found that a new door had been opened to the east of the coal factory at some point, and a straw shed had been specially built, and a person was sitting inside with a pen registering something, while several others were constantly Add coal to a two-wheeler.

"Erlang, these are coal buyers from other places. There were more people when it was colder a while ago. In order not to affect the progress of the factory, we had no choice but to open a door here." Zhang Wuer on the side Report to Zhang Yanjinhui.

Years ago, when he was still in Datong, Xizhou, he saw that there were too many coal buyers coming from other places. Entering through the main entrance would affect the process of digging, pulling and washing coal in the factory, so he decided to go east Opened a coal, adjusted the place where the coal is piled up, and let the coal buyer pull the coal away from the east.

Zhang Yanjin nodded, expressing approval.But his mind turned. Since there are so many coal buyers, wouldn't it be possible to develop inns and restaurants in Datong?Zhang Yanjin didn't want to make this little money, but his characteristic town developed, and these things couldn't be lacking, otherwise, who would come for the tourists in the future?

As soon as this idea came out, Zhang Yanjin immediately asked Zhang Wuer to take out the map of Datong that he carried with him. He took a good look at the map, found a place with flat terrain, wide vision and beautiful scenery, and said, "Tomorrow, You take the money, go to the county magistrate, and buy this land."

"Erlang wants this?" Zhang Wuer frowned and asked, "Could it be that there is coal here?"

Zhang Yanjin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing that coal was so popular, the people who followed him saw coal in their hearts and eyes. It was completely opposite to the previous attitude towards coal, which was completely treated as gold.

"Of course not. People who buy coal come here continuously from afar, so they are naturally looking for a place to live." Zhang Yanjin tapped the place just drawn with her finger and said, "I want to build the largest inn in Datong here. , is also the most distinctive inn in Dawei, and then build more red brick houses, I will make blueprints, and each red brick house will be made according to the specifications on the drawings.” In this way, the houses will be very layered , will look very nice overall.

Zhang Wuer's heart immediately became hot, and he said embarrassingly: "Erlang, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job. My elm-headed head only knows how to dig coal, and I have never thought about it!"

Wang Shi and Wang Jiu also smiled and said: "Don't talk about you, I dare say, this is something that no one in Datong has thought of! Besides, if Erlang hadn't said that coal can be used, who in this world would have thought that coal is so useful !"

Zhang Yanjin smiled lightly, and asked Zhang Wuer to prepare what he needed to negotiate with the county magistrate, while he took the rest of the people around Datong.

There may be only some people who come from other places to sell coal and need to stay overnight because of the long distance, but each of them needs to eat. He is going to carefully observe the passenger flow, and then open a few small restaurants.

In the end, Zhang Yanjin decided to place four or five small restaurants on the edge of the intersection, and scattered them.The intersection is the only way for customers to come and go. Naturally, it is the place with the most passenger traffic. It can also sell tea and some small odds and ends.It can be said that the needs of people who come to pull coal from afar have been taken into account.

After confirming the location, Zhang Yanjin handed over the newly confirmed location to Zhang Wuer, and asked him to do it all at once, while he began to think in the room, how to make the inn and restaurant prosperous, which is also a business invitation If he attracts capital, his shop will become popular, and he is not afraid that other businessmen will not come to rent and buy his house to do business. When the streets are full of businesses, Datong will be considered developed.

The consumer groups targeted by small restaurants and large hotels are different, and naturally they need different meals.

Zhang Yanjin was writing and drawing on the drawings that day, and after thinking about a lot of ideas, Zhang Yanjin fell asleep.

What Zhang Yanjin didn't expect was that he asked Zhang Wuer to discuss land purchase with the new county magistrate. Zhang Wuer went, but brought the new county magistrate to his temporary residence.

Zhang Yanjin used to live in the inn, but after he made the men in these ten miles and eight villages work and earn money, the people in the village would feel sorry to see Zhang Yanjin still living in the low and narrow center of the inn. .

So, after negotiating with the villagers, the village head of Jixiang Village gave Zhang Yanjin a house with one courtyard and two bedrooms, and invited Zhang Yanjin, a lucky star, to live there.

Zhang Yanjin refused several times but failed, so he moved there to live, but he asked Zhang Wuer to give the money to the village head of Jixiang Village, and let their village use it as a public expenditure.

Although the yard and the house were small, Zhang Wuer and the others kept Zhang Yanjin very clean and tidy. One was used as Zhang Yanjin's bedroom, and the other was transformed into a study for Zhang Yanjin.

Since it was a temporary place to live, Zhang Yanjin asked Zhang Wuer and Zhang Wuyi to keep it simple.

When the new county magistrate Meng Jinglun stepped over the threshold and walked in, he was greeted by a landscape screen. There were no extra objects on the walls on both sides, only two simple mahogany desks with pens, ink and paper on them. Inkstone and other objects, under which there are some cushions needed for kneeling.

Because it was broad daylight, Zhang Yanjin asked the people around him to put away the screen in order to make the room brighter, while he sat on the bench and continued to write and draw on the small desk.

Looking at the unobstructed house, Meng Jinglun felt that the house was simple, and he could not tell that it was a place where a dude lived.

But the pile of snow-white rice paper on the table hurt his eyes. You must know that this kind of snow-white rice paper is time-consuming and labor-intensive due to the limitation of craftsmanship, so it is difficult to make, so the selling price is very high, only one hundred copper coins.

On weekdays, they write on yellowed straw paper, and only use rice paper when there are important matters.

But what about Zhang Yanjin?Why is this precious rice paper the same as straw paper?

Meng Jinglun looked down and found that there was rice paper that Zhang Yanjin crumpled up and threw in the basket.Literati cherish ink, and Meng Jinglun's heart is about to bleed when he looks at the balls of white rice paper. Isn't this Zhang Yanjin too ignorant of cherishing precious things?No wonder it's a dude!

But I don't know, Zhang Yanjin is used to it in modern times, who in modern times would take white paper seriously, and he doesn't run errands, how would he know that his own paper is so expensive?

Hearing the movement outside, Zhang Yanjin saw a person wearing a dark green cape and a long gown beside Zhang Wuer, so she got up from the bed, put on her shoes and went to greet him.

Meng Jinglun's identity is not difficult for Zhang Yanjin to guess. After all, the place Zhang Wuer went to this morning is the county government office in Datong. In addition, Meng Jinglun's clothes are neat, his temperament is capable, and his eyes are calm. At first glance, he looks like the villagers of Datong It's different, Datong is remote, rich and noble families are rare, who else is this person besides the new county magistrate Meng Jinglun?

"Erlang Zhang, Ningguo Mansion, has long admired his name." Meng Jinglun stepped forward to greet him.

Zhang Yanjin also smiled and cupped his hands and greeted, "The new magistrate of Meng County has been admiring him for a long time!"

After Zhang Yanjin let Meng Jinglun up, Zhang Wuer hurriedly poured tea for the two of them, and went to prepare snacks.

Zhang Yanjin also asked people to put away the various drawings he had just drawn on the small case table.

"Erlang, this is?" Meng Jinglun was a little puzzled when he saw the simple picture drawn with a brush on the blueprint.He dared to say that he had never seen such a thing on the blueprint.

Zhang Yanjin smiled lightly without hiding it, and pointed directly at the pattern drawn on the blueprint: "To tell you the truth, Magistrate Meng, I am some idea of ​​my new inn. I asked Wu Er to negotiate with you about buying the land this morning. It is precisely because I want to open a restaurant and an inn on the land I bought."

Although Meng Jinglun's name is Jinglun, he is not a person who can only read books.The last time after Wang Jianting took office here in Datong, he used the arresters and soldiers in the county government on his own initiative because he was the local magistrate, but was dealt with by Zhang Yanjin. The post of magistrate of Datong County.

The officials of the Ministry of Officials saw that the emperor was concerned about the appointment of the Datong county magistrate, and quickly mentioned Meng Jinglun, a capable county magistrate, to Datong to take up the post.

Meng Jinglun and Wang Jianting came to Datong to show off their prestige. After he came to Datong, he first visited all the places in Datong, big and small, met with the village chiefs in every village, and got to know them in depth. The situation in Datong.

When he was wandering around, Zhang Yanjin was still in Chang'an City, so he hadn't seen him.However, Meng Jinglun learned a lot about Zhang Yanjin through the opportunities of going around.

After seeing the popularity of the coal mine factory, Meng Jinglun put a question mark on the Zhang Yanjin described in the rumors.Coupled with the fact that his friends in Chang'an wrote to him to tell him that Zhang Yanjin talked eloquently in court, and that the ironic Liu Yanshi wanted to resign from office and go back to seclusion, he felt that he should get to know Zhang Yanjin himself, not Only listen to rumors.

Another reason why he still wants to know about Zhang Yanjin is that after looking through the records of the county government's achievements, he found that since Zhang Yanjin came to Datong, Datong's financial revenue has doubled compared to before. With Zhang Yanjin here, he can make great political achievements in Datong, which is why he came to find Zhang Yanjin in person.

He has never been a person who pays attention to vanity. For him, as the local county magistrate, the most important thing is to make some political achievements.

If Zhang Yanjin can improve Datong's political achievements, so what if he puts aside his face as a county magistrate and comes to see Zhang Yanjin?What's more, Zhang Yanjin is also the Erlang of the Zhang family of Ningguo Mansion, and he is more valuable than him in terms of status.Wang Jianting's behavior at the beginning really made Meng Jinglun feel ridiculous and ignorant.

Meng Jinglun looked at Zhang Yanjin, who was sitting cross-legged across from him, with calm eyes and a faint smile on his face, and felt more and more worthwhile for his trip.

Meng Jinglun asked the little official who followed him to take out the land deed he was carrying, put it directly in front of Zhang Yanjin and said, "Which piece of land does Erlang want to buy? It's all here."

In fact, when Zhang Wuer went there just now, Meng Jinglun brought the title deed of the place Zhang Yanjin had chosen.After carefully observing the location of these places, Meng Jinglun was even more sure that Zhang Yanjin had a talent for doing business.

Although the status of the Chinese in the Great Wei Dynasty was high, they could speak well and govern the country, but no one could deny the fact that the country's fiscal revenue still depended on taxes, and most of the taxes came from businessmen.

Especially in places like Datong, Xizhou, where the land is barren, it is not suitable for planting at all. Even if the farmers work hard to cultivate the land, the income in a bumper harvest year is not comparable to that of other counties in normal years.But after Zhang Yanjin opened the coal mine, it was different, and the financial income was soaring.
