Chapter 3 The Enclave (17)
The eunuch who came to announce the imperial edict said the most bluntly: "Like the young master of Jin, when he came, my grandfather specifically said that the military soldiers of the garrison were just ordered by the civilians, and don't expect them to fight. Don't submit a memorial to add wages and food to the military soldiers of the garrison. Grandpa said that even if the grandfather was allowed, the six ministries and the cabinet would definitely refuse. If you want to submit a memorial, it would be useless except to teach your grandfather to make things difficult."
Ding Yi did not refute the eunuch who proclaimed the eunuch. What's the use of scolding a eunuch?
Seeing that Ding Yi did not scold and even taught Liu Tie to give him silver to reward him, the eunuch whispered: "Like Master Jin, when I heard that when I came out of the army, you can only count on the First Brigade of Land War and you will not have reinforcements. If it really doesn't work, you will retreat to Yunnan. No one in the court dares to persuade you, and you are waiting for you to fight yourself..."
No one dared to persuade Ding Yi. The memorial on the news that Meng Mi's comforting envoys and sons made Sijifa's remaining party kill. Now he asked Ding Yi to withdraw his troops, which would be to give up Mubang, Meng Yang, and Meng Mi in disguise. Who would want to take on this infamy? If Sijifa crosses the Da Jinsha River to invade, the person who is now called to withdraw is yellow mud in his pants. Isn't shit or shit?
The rain these days has been less annoying than Xia Shi. Ding Yi did not continue to mess with the 200 soldiers. Instead, he drew them with the command platoon and drew hundreds of thousands of cavalry out of the 2,000 cavalry to form a cavalry company, and combined them into a guard battalion, and led it by Tan Feng. Tan Feng, who has always been regarded as the most rigid by Fatty Wen, cooperated with the craftsmen with great pleasure, and had no sympathy to talk about. There was no extra request. In short, according to the standards, the craftsmen were happy to do this. Anyway, as Li Jiangtou's disciple said, as long as he was attentive, he could do a good job without having to keep his brain.
Ding Yi seemed to be in a good mood and said to the eunuch who announced the eunuch: "My father-in-law is joking. Nothing is true. The emperor is in power and the court. Can you bear to see the people in the border areas live in dire straits? It's just that the state affairs are difficult, and there are only so many military soldiers to support it for the time being." Ding Yi became the second-rank left-level censor, and could not have been behind the eunuch. He chewed his tongue and said that the court officials were not.
The eunuch Xuanzhi also understood this, so when he heard Ding Yi's words, he smiled and said, "If Master Jin said yes, I think I heard it wrong. Fortunately, I will stop at the wise man!" That's what he said. But Ding Yi signaled to Liu Tie, who put down the wooden plate holding the silver, went in, and took out a certificate. When the eunuch saw it, he hurriedly said, "How can I take it, how can I take it!"
While saying that, he stuffed it into his sleeves just because he was a sensible person. It was the quota voucher of the Ding Family Store in the capital. Each of them was made of dozens of secret notes and open records. After making a number, it was cut from it. If it was combined with the stub, it would be a forgery. Such things could be used to make a share of goods from the Ding Family Store, such as cement, glassware, matches, soap, kerosene, cotton cloth, etc.
Ding Yi was very willing to reward these eunuchs. In fact, it was precisely because of his generous actions that the eunuch who proclaimed the eunuch "inadvertently" "wrong" words and said to someone who listened to Ding. After receiving the quota voucher, the eunuch thought about it, and seemed to be dissatisfied with it. He whispered to Ding Yi: "Like Young Master Jin, you are running around for national affairs, but you missed the birthday of the Eastern Palace."
"What nonsense? It's not September yet." Ding Yi laughed and scolded the eunuch, but patted his shoulder and nodded. The eunuch naturally admitted his mistake and never mentioned this matter. Because Ding Yi knew what this guy was going to say, the prince of Yingzong was on November's birthday, and Emperor Jing's son's birthday was in July. When Ding Yi heard him say this, he naturally knew about Yi Chu's affairs. Perhaps Emperor Jing had done it and would announce it to the world soon. It was precisely because of this that the happy Emperor Jing had just approved the number and military expenditure of the First Land War Brigade of the Four Seas Governor's Office.
After the eunuch announced the eunuch, Wan An was quite puzzled. He went over and asked what Liu Tie gave the eunuch later? It looked like a treasure banknote, was it the depositary ticket of the money house? Liu Tie laughed as he heard it: "The depositary ticket of the money house is not as strong as this certificate, it is nearly 2,000 taels of silver, just such a certificate!"
Such a quota voucher has indeed been sold to at least 1,800 taels of silver in the capital, because some people have estimated that the Ding family shop does not do retail business. If you just go to the Ding family shop and go out and sell it directly in the capital, you can earn nearly 200 taels of silver! If you go to Nanzhili, you will need at least 300 taels of silver. Going south and west, the profit will naturally be higher.
And there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it. It is a complete control of the volume of goods sold by hunger. The concubines in the Forbidden City took the lead in purchasing, which made Shilin and wealthy merchants very popular with every item produced in the Ding family store, and even a chasing purchase appeared. Because each item in the Ding family store has a number, such as the current hot-selling Jingtai Three-Year-A Jade Lantern. Its predecessor also has four different models: A, B, C, and D of Jingtai. The shapes are the same every year, but each model has a little modification.
After all, it is just to treat the green glass kerosene lamp as the iPhone that Ding has experienced. However, with the three-character endorsement of Ding Rongcheng and the gimmick of the royal family taking the lead in purchasing, it is considered that advertising and marketing have been thorough in this era.
Ding heard Wan'an's plan, but he smiled and said, "If Xunji is less expensive, this quota certificate cannot be given to you. However, if the disciples around him are not rich, Ding will also be ashamed of your sir. Zijian, you can compile a letter and hand it over to Xunji. Let's teach your confidant to go to the capital to find Zhang Mao. In the kerosene business, just join a group of members."
Because kerosene lamps require lamp oil, many nobles think it is a good opportunity to make money, so they are led by the British Duke. Some people pay the money and some people contribute. So the primitive oil also has a stable transportation line and mining mine. The crude oil is continuously transferred to Guangxi. After the factory was refined, it was packaged into bottles of kerosene. After the noble agent paid the processing and packaging fees, it was transported back to the two capitals and other twelve magistrates to sell. It also taught the nobles to make a lot of money, and they had to continue making money according to their appearance.
As for the high processing costs, gasoline, diesel, heavy oil, asphalt, etc. separated during processing, the nobles naturally had no chance to know. They also tried to process them themselves, but this thing is simple, less than twenty words, and it is nothing more than "rectification and purification", "compound tower", "distillation", "revolution", "distillation", "distillation". Most modern science students who have received regular university education are willing to deduce, and have a lot of manpower and material resources to conduct experiments according to deductions. If a person dies, he will not have to be sentenced to target.
It can basically be made, but this is principled after all, and it is not like boiling salt. How can those nobles make it themselves? So they had to process it for Ding Yi’s factory like this. Although there are gasoline and diesel, Ding Yi can’t find a machine that can burn oil, but it is always good to have reserves, and the production cost is still paid by others? So the so-called jasper lamp has become a toy for the rich, because both lamps and lamp oil are so high that it is not something that ordinary people can bear.
Wan'an accepted Ding Yi's gift very calmly and bowed and thanked him: "I dare not refuse if I have a gift." That is to say, Ding Yi gave something as a teacher, but it is not easy to push it down. In fact, Wan'an's words are not fake. His family has given him a lot of support, but he is not sure how much money it will be when such a business is distributed to him. When the dividends are distributed in the first quarter, Wan'an was completely messy at that time. Although crude oil mining costs money, transportation costs money to Guangxi, processing costs another fee, transporting it back to the capital, and distributing it to various places is also labor freight, etc., but this is not rice, flour, or a necessity. A bucket of kerosene makes the noble children feel like they are selling it. - This makes Wan'an even more devoted to Ding Yi. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for now.
At this time, Wang Yue lifted his robe and greeted the guards outside the tent. When he came into the room, he said eagerly: "Sir, the rain is about to stop!"
If the rain stopped, it would be easy to kill people. If it weren't for the rain, the craftsmen had changed their guns half a month ago, Wang Yue proposed to send a small group of troops to Mubang in the southeast to try the quality of the opponent's army. Ding Yi suppressed Wang Yue because of the many uncontrollable factors in the rainy season. This time, he saw that the rain had become much lighter, so he came to ask for a fight again.
Ding Yi taught him to sit down and talk. After asking about the training of the troops, Wang Yue was not panicked at all. He had such talent and followed Ding Yi to see how he built academy. There were also the backbone of the teaching team in the army. At this time, he was very confident when he was about to get up. Ding Yi couldn't help but nodded slightly.
"Sir, the students have searched for local natives for inquiries. September has come, and it is rainy. If they don't send a small reconnaissance team at this time, they can also find out the situation and location of the army on Muyang. If they can penetrate, they can also see the morale of the army on Muyang, how the people on the people, etc. I wonder if the students think so, what are the mistakes and omissions?" Wang Yue really wanted to fight immediately.
Ding Yi smiled and said to him: "Shichang always teaches people to be assured when doing things. You do a good job and your plan is quite mature." As he said that, Liu Tie had already greeted the orderly soldiers and brought in with two trays, but he used the cool mung bean soup from Jingshui Town. In this Myanmar area, hot is the only feeling. Drinking such a bowl of bean soup can relieve the heat.
"A small group of troops sneaked in and infiltrated. Do you still have to come and ask me about such a thing?" Ding Yi smiled and asked softly when he saw Wang Yue drinking bean soup. Seeing that Wang Yue was about to get up and answer, Ding Yi waved his hand to teach him to sit down, "You are more sensible than Zijian, but you have less decisions. This is not a good thing, even you joke. Tan Feng, who is the most unreconciliatory in the academy, has sent at least three reconnaissance teams to penetrate the southeast, and Liu Zijian is even more rampant, right? He also secretly ran over..." (To be continued...)
