When attacked and worn as a farmer's daughter-in-law

Early the next morning, Fang Tianlin took his wife and children out of the valley and headed straight for Xiaoqing Mountain Pass, followed by a group of guards and horses carrying goods.

The road in the mountains is difficult, the speed of the carriage is too slow, and everyone travels on horseback.

Children sitting on horseback for a long time will affect their physical development, but it doesn't matter if they come once in a while.

Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe looked at the three sons riding a half-year-old horse in front of them and leading the way for them, with faint smiles on their lips.

Due to carrying a part of the goods, the speed of the team is not as fast as traveling lightly, and will arrive at Xiaoqingshan Pass at noon the next day.As for Xinghuo Village, you still have to walk a long way to reach it, so Zhaocaijinbao rushed to notify in advance.

Before going far, Zhaocaijinbao met someone.

"Wangwang!"

The person who came was from Huanggu, so he naturally knew the two hounds, so he hurriedly sent someone to inform Shen Jiahai.

It was also the first time for Fang Tianlin to enter Xinghuo Village. When he saw the green brick and tile houses rising from the ground, he felt a sense of pride in his heart.

On the other side of Huanggu, even if other people also benefited from the Shen family, they still lacked something. After all, those people were branded with the Shen family's brand. .It is different here, whether it is the craftsmen and helpers who built the houses, or the tenant farmers, they have little to do with the Shen family. They are different from those hired workers who signed long-term contracts with the Shen family. They are completely free people. The appearance of the Shen family can be a real deal benefit them.

"Third brother, Tianlin, why don't you say anything when you come, so that I can ask someone to pick you up." Shen Jiahai was preparing for dinner, when he heard the news from the newspaper below, he rushed out to greet him.

"Brother, we are all our own people, so why do we need to deal with this?" Shen Jiahe looked up and down at Shen Jiahai, who hadn't seen him for half a month, and always felt that something was wrong. After a closer look, he saw something was wrong, "Brother, it's hard for you to be a little whiter. Why is your skin dark again? Now the sun is not strong, you won't stay outside all day, will you?"

Right now, spring plowing is about to begin, and the sun is very comfortable on people. It is not easy to get a tan at this level, and it must be done outside the house for a long time.

"This village is so important, I don't feel at ease if I don't look at it." Shen Jiahai smiled innocently, showing his big white teeth, making others even darker.

Fang Tianlin followed his reputation, and although Shen Jiahai was dark, he had a good complexion. He was not as malnourished as he was in Guangyan Village. He looked very energetic. Obviously, he was very satisfied with his current life and was very energetic.

"Uncle!" The triplets had short legs and fell behind. As soon as they followed up, they greeted Shen Jiahai with one voice.

Shen Jiahai patted the heads of the three of them, took out a small paper bag and stuffed it into Shen Bi's hands: "You came here without sending someone to notify you, you have to prepare lunch again, Bi'er, the three of you have some pastries to pad your stomach first, the meal is very fast Just fine."

After the triplets thanked them, they were not polite. They just opened the paper bag and picked up a piece of pastry and started eating. After everyone had a share, they handed the pastry to the fathers.

Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe have nothing to do, they can eat right away, this time has no effect on them.

Seeing that their fathers refused to eat, the triplets didn't force them anymore.After so many years, the three of them have known their parents' temperament for a long time, fathers will not be polite to them, if they don't want it, then they really don't want it, and the rest will naturally belong to the three of them.

Looking at the happy family of the third brother, Shen Jiahai also misses his family a bit. When Xinghuo Village is fully built, he will go home and live there for a while, and occasionally he can bring his wife and children to visit here. As long as he doesn't live here for a long time, the problem is not big.

Remembering that this is not a place to talk, Shen Jiahai walked while talking, leading the Shen Jiahe family to his residence in Xinghuo Village.

After lunch, everyone rested for a while, Shen Jiahai took people to the village for a stroll first, and then turned to the village's fields.

Most of the fields near Xiaoqing Mountain Pass that Fang Tianlin bought are wastelands. Only the farmlands near the nearest village to Xinghuo Village can be seen the traces of cultivation, but most of them have been abandoned, and there are very few real cultivated fields.

Spring plowing is about to usher in, and this part of the field will naturally be taken care of first.

Fang Tianlin stood by the side of the road, looking around, there were busy figures everywhere in the fields.

"Brother, the land on the Huanggu side can't be moved. If you want to have some extra money, you can use Xinghuo Village as the starting point and buy as many fields as possible around the surrounding area. Then you can hire people to plant or find tenants. There are fields in the palm of your hand. Don’t panic, right?” What Fang Tianlin didn’t say was that if the Shen family’s development goes well, Xinghuo Village will no longer be a village, and when those fields are expropriated, they can exchange for a lot of wealth.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with Dad when I go back this time." Shen Jiahai has long wanted to buy land, but now Xinghuo Village construction needs a lot of money, and he knows that the third brother's family only has the few thousand taels they lent last time. Regardless of the fact that most of the building materials come from the Shen family themselves, there are still many places where money is needed.

Huang Gu has limited manpower, and most of the people working in Xinghuo Village are hired short-term laborers. Burning bricks and tiles requires charcoal, whether it is hiring people to cut and burn, or to buy, which one is free?There are so many people working for the Shen family, and the hired firemen alone cost ten taels, plus the hired land reclamation personnel, not counting the cost of tools and animal power, and the labor costs alone cost no less than ten taels a day.

It's really not good to be in charge of a family, and you don't know how much money is expensive. Only when you witness the construction process of a village from scratch, can Shen Jiahai understand how much money needs to be invested in it.If most of the materials were not provided by the Shen family themselves, I am afraid that 5000 taels of silver can only build a village of one or two hundred households, and the fields are completely ignored.

Shen Jiahai couldn't stand this kind of spending speed before, and only after he went to Huanggu and saw the things that were put on the bright side, did he have confidence in his heart, but no one wants to borrow money to survive, Except for a part of the money they have for business, they dare not use the rest at will. In case there is a problem with the capital turnover of the third brother's family, they can use the remaining money in time to top it up, so as to avoid people's hearts. loose.

They may not understand the other Shen Jiahai, but they know that the people below will rebel against the master. There are two situations, one is that they have a better next family, and the other is that they can't live on.They can't control the former, and the third brother and his wife will have to worry about it, but they can take precautions against the latter.

But since the third brother and daughter-in-law said so, Shen Jiahai decided not to keep it.Everyone is not stupid, Shen Jiahai understands Fang Tianlin's meaning, obviously the third brother's family has other ways to get money, so they don't need to worry about the problem of not having enough money.

"Brother, no one wants to be our tenant?" Shen Jiahe flipped through the contents of the ledger, frowning slightly.

"Yes, it's in another booklet, but so far, it's only a slap in the face." Shen Jiahai picked up another booklet and flipped through it, and finally stopped on one page, and said with some regret, but he didn't know this regret Is it for your own family or those sharecroppers who dare not take risks.

"Is it because most of this place is wasteland, and they are afraid that they will not be able to make ends meet?" Shen Jiahe thought about it for a while, and he understood the key point.

"Most of them are due to this reason, but there are also some who are not optimistic about our Shen family and feel that our land is not safe to grow." Speaking of this, Shen Jiahai couldn't help but sigh.The Shen family is an outsider and is not trusted by the locals. Even if they hire someone to do work, they have to settle the bill as soon as possible.Thinking of the appearance of those people who were afraid that they would renege on their debts, Shen Jiahai felt unhappy.

"That's not bad. If the local squires are more arrogant and speak directly, so that those who depend on them for a living are not allowed to do things for our family. It is estimated that the people who dare to come here are only two or three kittens. Now it is another story. The scene." Fang Tianlin didn't think much of it, this place is located in the border, and there are troublesome people in the poor mountains and rivers, this is not completely unreasonable.Although Linshan County has not yet reached this level, there are quite a few people who run rampant here, in front of the Tu Emperor.

A large part of Shen Jiahai's smooth operation is due to the support of Mozhi County and Yuan's family, as well as the guards of the Shen family who are not easily messed with at first glance. Otherwise, it would be difficult for outsiders to move here, at least it would not be so smooth.

Shen Jiahai also agrees with this point, he has lived in Guangyan Village for decades, and stayed in Anyang Village for several years, although he has not personally experienced the suffering of foreigners, he has seen it more than once.

It's okay to have a large number of people, but if you are single and not strong enough, you will basically only be bullied.This kind of bullying comes from all sides. If good things happen to them in the village, when bad things happen, people like them will be the first ones that come to mind.

After chatting for a while, Fang Tianlin took out a few blueprints: "Brother, if there is a shortage of manpower, after the houses under construction are completed, stop for a while and concentrate on building these workshops."

"these are?"

"Brother, only because our family's development is too slow, we have to tie other people to the boat of our Shen family, so that we can really gain a foothold here. This is a soap factory, this one is a canning factory...these workshops I plan to cooperate with the local people. Brother, each of you will get half of the dividend. You can discuss with the second brother which factory you want. If you don’t want to buy land, you can invest money to run these factories with my family.”

Fang Tianlin knew very well that everyone gathered firewood with high flames, and he alone could not get all the technological inheritance of the Qianyuan clan out. Only by using as much power as possible can the technology be analyzed to the greatest extent.What he wants is not to produce finished products as they are, but to be able to combine the existing situation and transform the technology of the Qianyuan clan into their own things.

"Soap factory, canning factory?" Shen Jiahai's eyes were full of surprise, the soap factory should produce scented soap, which he had used since he came to Huanggu, but this thing is rare, not to mention other people in the valley, even Shen Family members can't do it alone.As for the canned food, he had heard about it from his third brother, but he had never seen it. He only knew it was a good thing.It's really good to just take these out in such a swaggering manner?

"Brother, the local gentry don't like ordinary items, don't they? Only such things that are currently unavailable or rare can arouse their interest. I didn't plan to do this at first. After thinking about it, we all think that our Shen family is safer if we share benefits with others, and we can go further because of it. Otherwise, I'm afraid we will just be stuck in the barren valley for the rest of our lives. I don’t dare to repair it.” Fang Tianlin originally wanted to rely on his own family to develop slowly, but found that there were too many constraints in this way, and the development would be extremely slow. Borrowing the strength of others, the efficiency will increase exponentially. There are more people and more power. It is fully reflected here.

"That's fine, just do as you want, anyway, we can't help you. But you and the third brother should take it easy, don't play it off, when the time comes, we will all be together." Go in, and then everything will be over." Shen Jiahai is also learning knowledge recently, but he is an authentic countryman, he can manage hundreds of people well, other things are really useless in a short time.

第 170

After a day's rest, Fang Tianlin took his wife and children to Linshan County early the next morning, played aimlessly for a few days, and sent the sons back to Xinghuo Village before going out with Shen Jiahe to do business.

The county government where the two went first, Mozhi County was constrained by local forces, and the methods were not very flexible, but after all, it was sent from above. Things will go much smoother.

Besides, the county government is short of funds, and there is only so much tax money that can be included in the government's public account every year. Households have to be carefully planned to make the county government's various departments operate normally, and it is impossible to recruit more staff.For this alone, Mozhi County would be a potential cooperation partner of the Shen family. Talking to him would obviously do more good than harm. It was impossible for Fang Tianlin to ignore such a relationship.

There were many people in the yamen, and after Fang Tianlin handed over the greeting card, Mo Zhixian directly agreed with them to meet at his private house at noon that day.Since Mozhi County still had to work in the afternoon, time was limited. After several people sat down, Fang Tianlin took out the gift he had prepared early in the morning and put it in front of Mozhi County, and said straight to the point: "Lord Mo, please have a look."

Mo Zhixian covered the curiosity in his eyes, opened the lid of the box, and looked at them one by one. The more he looked, the more shocked he was. He had never seen these things before, and he couldn't even tell the material of the outer packaging for some of them: "Master Fang, these... ..."

"Master Mo, what you are holding is a canned fruit with oranges in it. This one is packed in a cardboard box with mint-flavored soap, and the other one is packed with laundry soap. Its function is similar to that of soap, and the effect is better... ..." Fang Tianlin explained one by one, without any impatience.

When Fang Tianlin finished speaking, there was a complete silence in the study, not to mention Ding Zhongqiu's staff, even Mozhi County, who had seen a lot of world as the county magistrate, was stunned for a while.Both of them are not very proficient in business, so they also understand that there are a lot of business opportunities here. As long as they plan well, Linshan County may change its appearance and no longer exist in a backwater.

After pondering for a long time, Mo Zhixian said after deliberation: "Master Fang, I have a question to confirm first, did you find these from outside, or?"

Soon, Mozhi County learned from Fang Tianlin that these were all owned by the Shen family, and they were not strange objects searched from all over the world.

Indeed!A bright light flashed in Mo Zhixian's eyes, he picked up the tea bowl on the table, took a sip to calm his mind, regained his composure, and said with a smile: "Master Fang, you won't really give me these gifts when you come here, will you? If you have anything to say, just say it, as long as I can help, I will do my best."

"Master Mo is straightforward enough, so I don't have any ink." Fang Tianlin took out a canned fish from the box, and pried off the lid with a sharp weapon, "You two, have a taste."

As soon as the can was opened, a smell of fish wafted in the study room, which instantly aroused the appetites of Mo Zhixian and Ding Zhongqiu, who had only eaten a little casually.

Seeing this, Mozhi County recruited servants, and within a short while, several people had a set of tableware.

What Fang Tianlin brought over was seasoned canned fish that could be eaten directly. The can he opened was braised carp. He picked up the serving chopsticks, put a piece into the Shenjiahe bowl, tasted it himself, and signaled to Mozhi County .

Although the canned food has tried to retain the taste of the original material as much as possible, it still cannot be compared with freshly baked dishes, but it depends on what it is compared with.At home, canned food is okay for early adopters, and it is obviously not suitable for regular consumption, but it is a convenient and delicious delicacy in the hands of businessmen or travelers who travel far away, let alone those soldiers who march and fight, which guarantees nutrition. Excellent material.

When he first saw the can of oranges that Fang Tianlin took out, Mo Zhixian only felt that there were business opportunities in it, and he didn't pay much attention to it. Now when he saw the can of fish, after diverting his thinking, he immediately thought of canned meat and other cans. To put it bluntly, it can even rise to the level of strategic materials.It's not that he's exaggerating, just imagine, if the army's logistics supplies provide enough fast food, how fast will the soldiers march in a hurry?Under the same conditions, the side with more physical strength has a greater chance of winning.

Mozhi County has eaten a lot of delicacies. Of course, braised carp cans are not up to the point where he is full of praise, but after all, the taste is indeed not bad, and the smell of fish is attractive. Great enjoyment, this is no longer just a business opportunity to describe, there is a lot to do here.

After eating a piece, Mo Zhixian put down his chopsticks, looked at the empty bowl beside Ding Zhongqiu, and said quietly: "Master Fang, how do you want to cooperate with me?"

"Lord Mo, how is your relationship with the two magistrates of neighboring counties?" Fang Tianlin didn't intend to do business with Mozhi County when he came here. For commercial matters, he might as well go to authentic businessmen like Yuan Cheng'an.

"Shilin County is poorer than our county, and the law and order there is worse. If you want to go east, the nearest road is there. Wangshan County is better than Linshan County, but it's not much better. The two county magistrates and I They still have a little friendship, don’t you know Master Fang?”

"I would like to ask Mr. Mo to open up business channels with these two counties to ensure the safety of the goods. The remuneration is easy to negotiate. I only provide the delivery price here, and the price will be increased before selling. You can discuss this with the other two county magistrates, but the price increase must not exceed 20.00%, otherwise things won’t sell well.”

Fang Tianlin made good calculations, and Mo Zhixian understood the key when he thought about it. It seems that he got 20.00%, but the problem is that it needs to be shared by three people. After the discount, it is actually not much.But he was reluctant to let him give up.There are a few of these on the table, no matter which one is profitable, nearly [-]% of the income is really a lot, it is the gangster, which involves the interests of all parties, and he is a county magistrate. There is nothing wrong with bandits.

Fang Tianlin seemed to know what Mozhi County was worried about. Before he could open his mouth, he expressed his attitude first: "Master Mo, the Shen family's monopoly on these businesses will attract local merchants to covet them. It may be difficult to take action without cooperation. Question, I will find someone to discuss this matter later, but the Shen family will not refuse any merchants who are interested in cooperating, and when the time comes to form a Linshan County Business Alliance, I believe Linshan County will get better and better."

Mozhi County was fascinated by Fang Tianlin's imagination, but he still has reason. He is not proficient in business, but he still has common sense: "Master Fang, don't say anything else, is the outer packaging of this can not easy to handle? And this sealing technology It’s unheard of, how much does it cost?”

Everyone here understands the subtext of Mozhi County. If the cost is too high, the business will basically be useless. The border conditions are there. If the price is too high, the buyer group will be extremely restricted. If canned food is sold as a luxury item, then there will be a problem with its market positioning. Canned fruit can be sold like this, but canned fish will become a slow-moving product. Unless everyone is proud to eat them, some people will be willing to consume them frequently.After all, compared to fresh dishes, the taste of canned food is indeed inferior.

Fang Tianlin had been prepared for a long time, and turned his head slightly to look at his daughter-in-law.

Shen Jiahe immediately understood, took out a pamphlet and pushed it to the opposite side, and said, "Lord Mo, what is written on it is a rough estimate of the selling price, and the final selling price should not be much higher than this figure, and it may be even lower."

What he asked was the cost, but what Master Shen gave was the selling price. Of course, Mozhi County could guess the way to do it.He wasn't dissatisfied, the cost price of the goods was a secret of every family, and it was absolutely impossible to leak them at will, otherwise how would the goods be sold?If the buyers know that the cost is only 20 taels, but they buy hundreds of taels, this business may not be possible.

After reading the contents of the pamphlet, Mo Zhixian handed it to Ding Zhongqiu.There were only a few kinds of goods that the Shen family wanted to sell, and there was not much data, but after a while, Ding Zhongqiu finished reading them, and he nodded his head towards Mozhi County.

Mozhi County responded immediately: "Success, I will take care of this matter some day."

"Lord Mo, please take my leave." As soon as the matter was over, Fang Tianlin took Shen Jiahe with him and left the private house in Mozhi County.

After sending Fang Tianlin and his party away, Mo Zhixian and Ding Zhongqiu returned to the study.

"My lord, if we follow the wishes of the two masters of the Shen family, we won't get much benefit. The local tycoons will also benefit from this matter. At most, we have not been distanced by them. Doesn't this mean we are still standing still? "Ding Zhongqiu frowned, quickly calculating the pros and cons in his mind.He knew that, from another point of view, the magistrate's faction was not left behind, which can already be said to have gained some benefits from it, although this was not what he wanted to see.

"You said that I rejected the Shen family. Don't tell me they won't do this business?" Mo Zhixian paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back. Rather than being left behind and completely unable to catch up with this chariot that may be moving fast, it is better to give up some benefits and go forward with them, at least everyone is on the same level, and there will be fights in the future.

Mozhi County also has no choice. He, the leader of Linshan County, is not as powerful as the local power. If the Shen family does not cooperate with him, there are still so many people to choose from. If it is placed in a county close to Wangcheng, the situation is completely different. Where does the merchant have capital? Don't show signs of being with the county magistrate?

It's also a matter of luck, at least the Shen family didn't deal with him, and cooperating with them made him feel much more at ease. Anyway, he also had some friendship with the Shen family, and the preferential treatment he gave to the Shen family before was not in vain. No, the Shen family He was the first person to go to when something happened, not the local gentry.Obviously, the Shen family also showed their sincerity, even though the benefit to him was not that great, he accepted it.

After leaving the private house in Mozhi County, Shen Jiahe looked around and saw that there was no one around except the guards who fell far behind, and asked in a low voice: "Tianlin, how did you calculate this price?"

Hearing his daughter-in-law's question, Fang Tianlin couldn't help chuckling: "Jiahe, you have also seen that the gifts that were given out just now, except for a few, were all made by special means, and the cost cannot be estimated at all. These are the approximate numbers I calculated higher. If it actually exceeds the budget, this product can only be postponed temporarily. Don’t worry, most of them are fine.”
