There is a space man in the village [Rebirth]

The so-called special pass, as the name suggests, is to enjoy the priority of passage.

Combining the characteristics of the ancient times here, what Huo Chengyi wants is for his caravans to be able to travel between various places without hindrance, and enjoy the right of priority release.

This doesn't seem to have much effect on the merchants. If you go early and go late, you can pass the checkpoints everywhere anyway.

But a little makes a lot, a day saved here, a day earlier there, time is money, his caravan will always walk ahead of other caravans, and his store will always be the first to arrive, so customers will choose their store in the future.

There is another most important reason why Huo Chengyi wants a 'special pass'.

That is, he wanted to get an 'identity card' for the slaves in the valley who would be sent to work in the future.

As long as Huang Qi agrees, he won't have to worry about finding the identity of the slaves sent abroad in the future.

"My lord, scholars, peasants, businessmen, although everyone looks down on businessmen, the economy is an important condition for the development of a place and a country, and businessmen are the most critical hub people..."

"As long as the prince can let Da Zhao Quanguo build the road, and give the boy's caravan a special right of passage, the boy can do what the prince asked earlier."

Huo Chengyi explained and persuaded, seemingly calm, but actually he was still a little guilty.

Although he had expected that Huang Qi would not really be an idle and virtuous king, he was still a little surprised by his vigorous ambition and ability.

Zhao Guo's army is only so big in total, and the Seventh Prince actually holds millions of military power and develops privately, even the emperor doesn't know.

Perhaps the emperor also knew that the Seventh Prince had a different heart, but he didn't get rid of it for a long time. He didn't know whether the emperor was too confident or there were other reasons.

But no matter what happened to the court, he was now on the Seventh Prince's ship.

The Seventh Prince needs him to make money, so he only makes money, and he doesn't care about other things, and he can't take care of them.

"The king of the pass will find a way, but the road construction will not be done within three years. Do you have a good plan?"

It has to be said that Huang Qi does have a bit of emperor's talent, at least Huang Qi is much better at controlling people than most noble officials, and he doesn't hold his own status.

If you can't do it, you can't do it. If you can build all the roads in the whole country, you won't wait until now.

If it goes well, Huang Qicheng has a high chance of success.

Huo Chengyi continued to answer while evaluating in his heart.

"Don't worry about the road construction, my lord. The stone material must have been in the village for the past few days. My lord has also seen that our Huo family has a brick-burning skill. The boy is willing to dedicate this skill to the lord... As for other details and labor issues, I will discuss it in detail when I go down." Write a plan and give it to the prince for reference."

Huo Chengyi has done the road construction work twice, so he is familiar with planning.

Besides, the power of the imperial court in ancient times was stronger than that of the modern one. As long as the imperial court speaks out, no one would dare not cooperate.

"Okay, when you go back, give me the detailed plan. This king can agree to your three conditions, but Huo Daniu, this king also has one request."

Huang Qi had inquired about what the Huo family was doing, so he wasn't worried about the road construction.

But there are other concerns.

"Huo Daniu, if you gain, you will lose. This king promises to save your nine clans from death, and you don't have to intervene to hinder your business, but you must ensure that the king's million-dollar army is excellent within five years. In the future, the descendants of the nine clans of the Huo family The imperial court will never hire an official, are you willing?"

To put it bluntly, it is to cut off the Huo family's chance to contact the power of the political center.

In the eyes of the ancients, even if a businessman is rich in the world, life and death are just a matter of the emperor's words, but it will be different if he enters the officialdom. Power and money, power is the last word.

Huo Chengyi doesn't care about being an official, he can also be selfish and ask his son and grandson not to enter the officialdom.

But for the Nine Clans, although there are not many people in the Huo family, among them his uncle and elder brother have the most direct influence.

His uncle's second son, Huo Zhuyuan, has already been admitted as a scholar. He has a bright future at a young age. The purpose of the scholar is to obtain fame.

It is impossible for him to only consider his own interests and ignore other people's opinions.

After thinking for a while, Huo Chengyi bowed his hands to Huang Qi.

"My lord, I can promise that my lineage will not go into official career in the future, but I can't make a private decision for the rest of the family. I have to discuss this request with my family."

"Then we can't discuss it?" Huang Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing everything.

"Break off, the prince's boat, the villain aboard."

Huo Chengyi's tone was firm, neither humble nor overbearing.

To protect is to take the initiative to show one's weakness to gain trust. If there is no reason to handle the weakness, Huang Qi's city government may not completely trust him.

Huang Qi slowly loosened his grip on the chair and smiled.

"Okay, then I will wait for your news."

"Thank you, my lord, for your trust."

Huo Chengyi silently cupped his hands in thanks, and then left.

After going far away, he took a long breath, and immediately went to call Uncle Huo and a few men into the room for a secret talk.

The matter of the Seventh Prince is of great importance. He did not directly explain it, but only told everyone that he found a big backer, and the condition for sacrificing was the family's career path, and let his uncle and brother consider it.

The most important thing is Huo Zhuyuan's thoughts, whether he is willing to give up his hard work of studying hard for many years.

If everyone is unwilling, Huo Chengyi is ready to do it himself.

Immediately break off the relationship, leave the rest of the Huo family out, and prepare for the worst outcome.

Huang Qi's attitude was already obvious, all the cards were shown to him, and he had no chance to choose.

His uncle and elder brother had limited knowledge and didn't know what to do, so they were a little worried when they heard him speak seriously.

But Huo Zhuyuan is knowledgeable and sees things more thoroughly.

"Cousin, how many generations can he give our family wealth?"

"If the cooperation is successful, there will be no worries for three generations. After three generations, people will die, and the world will be impermanent."

Huo Chengyi made a guess.

As long as Huang Qi is alive, as long as he is alive, as long as they abide by each other and do not mess around, the cooperation agreement between them can continue.

As for the future, no one can tell for sure.

"Three generations are enough, cousin, the Huo family will be prosperous and all will be prosperous, and all will be damaged if one is damaged."

Huo Zhuyuan agreed.

Obtaining fame and fame is nothing but to glorify the lintel, the wife and children are rich and not poor, the Huo family farmers start from scratch, rich is the best choice, if you want to be expensive, it depends on the future generations.

Uncle Huo and Huo Dashan finally nodded and agreed. Fame is not easy to test, and wealth is in front of you, so let's choose the rich first.

In the end, it was agreed that Huo Chengyi finished writing the road construction plan, and then quietly visited Huang Qi again.

That night, I talked with Huang Qi for the whole night, and the next day Huang Qi left the village and returned to Beijing with his brick-burning skills.

Huo Chengyi waited for news in the village.

"Brother Huo, it takes several months to travel back and forth from Tongniu County to the capital. The news of Mr. Huang may have to wait until the Chinese New Year."

Xiaobai estimates the message time, traffic and communication are really the most annoying problems in ancient times.

Even if the Seventh Prince rushed back overnight, it would take at least several months for the news to come back.

"Yes, I will make more preparations during this time. The production and operation of the valley still needs a lot of money. We have to find a way to earn more money. It is really tight to rely on our current dividends."

Although the factory fruit wine and Jiang's store made a lot of money, they were spending money everywhere.

At present, the speed at which money is coming in is simply not as fast as it is being spent. If it weren't for the fact that they made a fortune by dumping money during their honeymoon, the slaves in the valley would have to start starving.

In addition, the autumn harvest is about to start and it is time to buy soybeans. This year's soybeans are much more than last year, and a large sum of money will be needed at that time.

The most important thing is that the construction team on Bu Jianlin's side is basically unprofitable to repair houses.

"Brother Huo, the Autumn Harvest Festival will start again next month, why don't we send people to set up a few more skewers on the street? And add two more specialties to the dishes of Jiang's Store, and organize some activities?"

When it comes to making money, Xiaobai is all about it.

Every year during the autumn harvest, Tongniu County will hold an autumn harvest festival that lasts for a month. This time is also the time when villagers from a hundred miles around come out to join in the fun, and the county has the largest flow of people.

It is when the restaurants and various stalls have the best business and the most profitable time, and the Chinese New Year is not so lively.

The Jiangji store alone can't bear the flow of people in the entire county. It is a very good idea to open a branch store or temporarily take the opportunity to set up a few skewers to share.

Huo Chengyi thought for a while, this is indeed a good opportunity, but he can't put on strings.

"We won't set up a stall for the time being. Fatty Jiang is already looking for a branch in the town, and Liu Town is also planning to open a branch. Keep everyone's appetite..."

"If we don't sell skewers, what should we sell? The quantity of fruit wine and soybean products is not enough to sell."

"I remember that people in the village like to grow potatoes."

Huo Chengyi had a flash of inspiration.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are the staple food of poor families. No matter how many are planted every year, they will never be missed anyway.

Even though most of the fields in their village and surrounding villages are planted with soybeans this year, this kind of cheap food that is easy to feed can be bought anywhere.

"Brother Huo, what good idea do you have?"

Looking at Huo Chengyi's expression, Xiaobai knew that his man had a good idea to make money again.

“Fast Food KFC!”

Huo Chengyi nodded and laughed.

If it weren't for the lack of money, he really wouldn't have thought that Ken Ye and Mai Ye are popular all over the world in modern times.

Fast food restaurants are much easier to open than restaurants. Restaurant operations are complex and branches open slowly, but fast food chain franchises can develop rapidly.

The demand for the store area is small, the method of making things is simple, and it happens to sell chicken and duck meat from his chicken shed.

"Fried things are so expensive..."

Xiaobai swallowed greedily. He had seen hamburger and fries in the video of the modern movie that loves to laugh.

It looks delicious, but deep-fried food is very oily. Oil was expensive in ancient times. Will it cost too much to set up a stall?

"Only french fries, we make other things."

Huo Chengyi has a plan in mind.

Whoever said that eating chicken has to be deep-fried, that foreign stuffed hamburger is simply bread with meat, that is, that meat sandwich!

There is no difference between two slices of bread sandwiching a piece of grilled chicken and duck, and it is more in line with the tastes of the ancient people here.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible, so Huo Chengyi immediately sent someone to notify Fatty Jiang and members of the business alliance to come to the village for a meeting.

He went into the kitchen to make some finished products, and then let everyone taste the taste before making a specific implementation plan.

The Huo family, the first merchant in the history of Zhao State to be rich in the world by doing catering business was born...
