Chapter 97: The First Pot of Gold

Updated: 2012-12-16

Even if they were saved, the soldiers and refugees in Beidi County needed to consume 20,000 kilograms of grain and rice every day, and 10,000 kilograms of grain and rice were only enough for two months. With the 8,000 kilograms of black before, it was enough for three months.

Jia Rong looked at Mi Zhu beside him and said, "Brother Zizhong has worked hard, so let's take a break soon. I still have some things to deal with. Please raise any needs for Brother Zizhong."

Leading the soldiers to patrol the city, looking at the smiles on the thin faces of the people, Jia Rong returned to his residence with satisfaction. After traveling for several days, he finally could relax. He wanted to take a nap, but he didn't expect that he slept until the second day.

After a simple breakfast, I walked around the city and returned to the prefect's mansion. Now Jia Rong's support rate in Beidi County is very good, and I can hear the enthusiastic cheers of the people everywhere I go.

"If Brother Zizhong goes to the battlefield, he will definitely be a tiger general." Jia Rong said to Mi Zhu, who had just finished practicing martial arts in the courtyard.

Mi Zhu's skills are indeed good. His steps are steady, his arms are shaking hard, and the gun flowers are storming. It is not difficult to see the excellence of this set of marksmanship from his moves. One by one, one by one, it can be regarded as the upper-level marksmanship. In addition, Mi Zhu's years of training has made his gunsmanship perfect.

After hearing Jia Rong's praise, Mi Zhu was also a little proud and said with a smile: "I can't get into the elegant hall, so Zhiyuan will make me laugh."

After a few chats, Jia Rong turned the topic to the food problem of Beidi County. "Brother Zizhong transported 10,000 stones of grain this time, which can only solve the food for Beidi County for two months. When will Brother Zizhong transport grain and grass come again?"

Mi Zhu's face flashed with embarrassment, "Zhiyuan didn't know that the road is now difficult, and the stings of small animals are raging in the Han Dynasty. I brought a thousand private soldiers this time but still couldn't intimidate those desperate people."

Jia Rong frowned, thought of a trick, and smiled and said, "Brother Zizhong, why is this difficult? I can send the soldiers in the city to follow you all the way, so that those villains dare not make trouble again."

Mi Zhu was overjoyed, "Do you take this seriously?"

Jia Rong nodded affirmatively and immediately said, "But there are conditions for sending soldiers from Beidi County to follow him."

"Brother Zi Zhong is responsible for the daily expenses of these soldiers, and the prefect's residence will also be given a further employment fee." Jia Rong continued.

Mi Zhu agreed readily. This time, a thousand soldiers followed each other, and the fees were quite high along the way, and how could the soldiers be compared with the tiger and wolf men in Beidi County?

After a conversation, both sides set the price and they were very happy. Jia Rong easily solved the problem of eating for a thousand soldiers, and Mi Zhu promised to transport grain and tens of thousands of stones.

A warlike horse is worth a thousand gold in the Central Plains, and a stone of grain rice is always worth a lot of money. Mi Zhu made a lot of money this time, and Jia Rong did not point out who made him short of grain rice at present, and the nearby counties could not borrow it. If there are tens of thousands of stones of grain rice, he would definitely be able to overcome the current difficulties. There are still many places to use Mi Zhu in the future.

When people were in a happy event, Jia Rong smiled and said in Mi Zhu's ear for a while. Mi Zhu excitedly followed Jia Rong and walked towards the craftsman's workshop.

Looking at the two people who were leaving, Zhang Li shook his head. Jia Rong did not look like a prefect. Unless he was a little imposing during the war, he usually did things that were less than five or six, sometimes he was a rogue, but sometimes he did something that he could not refute.

Jia Rong took Mi Zhu through many checkpoints and was able to enter the craft workshop. Mi Zhu sighed: "The defense of this Beidi County craft workshop is too strict." Jia Rong smiled embarrassedly without answering.

Looking at the rows of stoves beside a huge pool, hundreds of blacksmiths worked hard to make irons. Mi Zhu was also shocked. Mi Zhu was very puzzled by this for a craftsman's workshop.

When Liu Blacksmith heard about Jia Rong's arrival, he rushed over. Although the food in Beidi County was urgent a few days ago, the food in the craftsman's workshop still did not change, which moved these blacksmiths and worked harder when they started to fight iron.

Jia Rong looked at the sweaty blacksmith Liu and said, "Go and take the things I asked you forged a few days ago to the room."

In the craftsman workshop and Jia Rong's special room, Mi Zhu studied the item repeatedly for nearly half an hour before returning to his seat. Mi Zhu involved a wide range of business areas. After careful observation, he discovered the extraordinary aspects of the items in front of him.

"The adults' craftsman workshop is truly talented. A small plow can be transformed so perfectly. It is truly the number one craftsman workshop in the great Han Dynasty." Mi Zhu exclaimed.

Mi Zhu privately called Jia Rong brothers, and on the surface he still called Jia Rong. Mi Zhu, who is cunning, doesn't want to be caught by Jia Rong any small braids.

Jia Rong will signal to Xiaojian Liu to go down and then negotiate with Mi Zhu. Jia Rong does not want to bargain with a merchant in front of his subordinates, as that will affect his wise and tall image.

After discussing for a while, Mi Zhu jumped up, slapped the table and shouted: "No, no, this price is unacceptable."

Jia Rong looked at Mi Zhu with a smile, looking as if he was sure of him.

But after a cup of tea, Mi Zhu lowered his head and said, "Okay, just say it as Zhiyuan."

Jia Rong's conditions were very simple. Mi Zhu asked Mi Zhu to build a grain and rice shop in the city, and the price was determined by the prefect's mansion. At the same time, Mi Zhu took out another five thousand kilograms of iron, and after Mi Zhu's bargaining, he cut it into one thousand kilograms of iron.

Jia Rong clearly remembers the beginning of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, where Liu Guan and Zhang Zhang had a feud in Taoyuan, merchant Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping sponsored Liu Bei's erectile dynasty thousand jin, Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword, Zhang Fei's erectile dynasty snake spear, and Liu Bei's double-stranded swords were all made of erectile dynasty. I thought that erectile dynasty would not be a rare item, so I tried to ask for 5,000 jin to play with it.

Unexpectedly, Mi Zhu had a great reaction. The weapons of the Han Dynasty could be made of iron, and they were all the best weapons. They were made of black iron. The word "treasure" should be added in front and made of meteorite from outside the sky. That is a peerless weapon. The blue light sword in Jia Rong's hand was made of meteorite from outside the sky. It was made of meteorite from outside the sky. It was cut into iron like mud, and the hair was blown off.

The iron is also fine iron. Although it is far inferior to the iron after the Tang Dynasty, it is the best product of the weapons made by the Han Dynasty. After all, it is hard to find black iron, and the iron outside the sky is extremely rare.

Mi Zhu was also quite resistant to the construction of grain and rice shops in the city and the government set prices. Business families like Xiang Mi Zhu had their own grain and rice shops in various places, but the prices were determined by them themselves. It was normal for several merchants to join forces to hoard grain and increase grain prices in the years of disasters and chaos. In other words, the so-called making money from the national crisis. Jia Rong's move undoubtedly violated the interests of merchants.

Secondly, Beidi County is located in border counties and wars occur from time to time, so it is not wise to invest here.

Unable to withstand Jia Rong's temptation, Mi Zhu finally agreed.

Jia Rong's "original" was also bought by these things. If Beidi County had sufficient financial resources, it would definitely not be sold at such a low price. The first pot of gold he traveled through time was obtained.

The wisdom of the ancients cannot be ignored. In an era without trademark registration, just imitation was enough to be a big deal, and selling it to Mi Zhu was a last resort.

Mi Zhu hurriedly left Beidi County the next day with the drawings and samples of the plow.

The operation of the craftsman workshop is very smooth. The creation skills of these blacksmiths may not be the best among the great men, but no one is a magic craftsman since he was born. Jia Rong's series of reward systems have made these blacksmiths work tirelessly to build weapons in the craftsman workshop every day. These blacksmiths learn to make blacksmiths themselves to support their families. Now they can be promoted on the basis of supporting their families. How can they not do their best without doing their best?

Jia Rong often comes to the craftsman workshop for any matters and chats with these blacksmiths. After a long time, these blacksmiths are no longer as restrained as before when facing Jia Rong. Jia Rong often asks some blacksmiths with good iron-making skills to tell their experience of iron-making and share with others.

The ancients paid attention to skills but did not express it, and they were still a little resistant at first, but Jia Rong's reward system had this one: "Those who are good at making weapons and are willing to tell their experience of blacksmithing will remember one merit and reward one-time money! The premise is that they do not repeat it with others, and most people think it is useful." Seeing other blacksmiths collecting one-time money, how could the rest not be jealous, so they have maintained good habits.

Today, Jia Rong came to the craftsman workshop as usual. Looking at the blacksmith who was bare-handedly knocking with iron hammers, Jia Rong nodded in praise. As long as the craftsman workshop continues to operate, it will not be difficult for some high-level or even master-level blacksmiths from these blacksmiths in the future.

Liu Tiejian followed Jia Rong all the way to the small house that belonged to Jia Rong. Liu Tiejian was not as busy as the craftsman's workshop at the beginning. He usually followed these blacksmiths to play iron and exchange experiences. He wandered around the craftsman's workshop and smiled all day long.

Jia Rong signaled Liu Blacksmith to sit in the lower position and handed a piece of rice paper in his hand very heavily to Liu Blacksmith's hand.

After studying the pattern on Jia Rong's rice paper, Liu Blacksmith studied it and understood it. He couldn't help but be amazed by Jia Rong's clever design. Since then, he also looked at Jia Rong with admiration.

Liu Blacksmith carefully opened the rice paper. Jia Rong's painting skills were still very good. An object with a thick, round upper part and a flat ring on the lower part was presented on the paper. After carefully looking at about a cup of tea, it was still as if he had a frown last time.

After all, Liu Blacksmith is just a blacksmith. If he is a knowledgeable man in the army, he can see the extraordinaryness of this thing at a glance. To increase the strength of the army, what is needed is not only hard training, but also sharp weapons and powerful auxiliary products. Can a million-strong army with thick wooden sticks beat a hundred thousand army with a strong and sharp stern?

The stirrup is painted on the paper. Don’t underestimate such a small stirrup. If ancient cavalry were tanks, then the saddle could be called the cannon on the tank. With it, the cavalry would become a nightmare that infantry could never surpass.
