Lu Fang was stunned for a moment and then laughed, "Yes."
At this moment, Liu Mao probably thought that the position of Ningyuan County Magistrate was within his grasp, right?
Although I have nothing to do with him, from now on, all taxes from the winery will be paid to Ningyuan County.
As long as Liu Mao has a little foresight, he probably won't refuse such a good thing.
In this matter, the interests of both of them are still the same.
After a while, Lu Fang left the county government office. He just asked Lu Liang to wait for Zhou Fang to finish the measurement and send someone to notify him.
…
Just that evening, Lu Liang went to Bestore in person.
Zhou Fang has already completed the measurement. The total area of the wasteland is 624 acres. It is larger than previously estimated.
Lu Fang didn't care and just asked: "Liu Mao agreed?"
Lu Liang chuckled and nodded: "I agreed, and I agreed very readily."
As he spoke, he frowned slightly and said, "Moreover...he even said that it would be okay if the land was cheaper. What do you think he had in mind?"
Lu Fang scratched his head.
Liu Mao took the initiative to give benefits?
Is it to trick Lu Liang?
Not so!
Lu Liang is about to be transferred away. How can this matter deceive Lu Liang?
He couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't bother to think about it anymore and said, "Whatever his idea, maybe he is worried that I won't build the winery in Ningyuan County!"
Speaking of this matter, Lu Liang was inevitably a little resentful and said: "Actually, you can also build a winery in You County. How much tax will it cost..."
Lu Fang squinted at him, "Do you still want to stay in a place like You County?"
Lu Liang was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
Too.
I am going to You County to suppress bandits. How long can I stay in You County?
If the suppression of the bandits fails, the Pan family will probably find ways to add insult to injury, perhaps directly depriving themselves of their official positions.
If the bandits are successfully suppressed, the princess will probably find a way to transfer him away, right?
Youxian is just a springboard.
The next day.
Lu Fang went to the county government office again early in the morning.
Pay the money and get the title deed.
Just over 2,000 taels of silver were exchanged for more than 600 acres of land.
This made him sigh, land is really cheap in this era! It is not as expensive as in previous lives.
Master Zhou smiled, and after the delivery was clear, he said, "My dear nephew, do you want me to send someone to take you to see the land?"
Lu Fang nodded, "Okay."
The construction matters can be left to He Xuquan, He Zhigao and his son to arrange. But the design obviously can only be done by oneself.
What I want to build is a very large winery that has never been seen before in the Chongqing Dynasty.
Office area, brewery, distillation area, cellar area, blending area, dormitory building, etc. How to arrange these depends on the specific terrain.
Afterwards, Lu Fang followed a government officer on horseback to the hill in the west of the city.
On the way, I spent some hatred points and used a search engine to find the general layout of the winery.
It's not as simple as you think.
It is also necessary to subdivide the raw material area, fermentation area, soaking area, canning area, etc.
Fortunately, with search engines, this becomes easy.
It just needs to be roughly simplified based on the brewing process of this era.
The hill... is just a small slope.
As Zhou Fang said, it is indeed quite deserted. Not to mention trees, there is not even much grass.
Don't know why.
But Lu Fang didn't care about that either.
Even if there were gold mines under this land, he wouldn't be able to mine it.
It would be better without trees.
It is more convenient to build a factory area.
After taking a rough look at the land, he already had a rough outline of the factory building in his mind.
Afterwards, I returned to Bestore and dove into the room.
Draw design drawings.
In just over two hours, two design sketches and dozens of workshop drawings appeared on the desk.
Lu Fang drew them all while searching.
It just cost some hatred points, which makes me feel a little sad.
Lu Fang specially drew horizontal lines in the raw material areas, fermentation areas, distillation areas, etc. that need to be built first.
Mainly because I have no money now.
Office areas and dormitory buildings can be built slowly later when money is available.
After checking it carefully twice, Lu Feng took these drawings and went out to find He Zhigao.
Of course, He Zhigao is still busy in the new winery.
When Lu Fang arrived, the workers in the new winery were moving wine out. Lu Lin had already arranged for people to come down.
He Zhigao's face was filled with joy.
This is just the beginning.
Lu Fang and Lu Lin's words yesterday made him full of confidence in the future of Qingxifang. Naturally, he was also full of fighting spirit.
Lu Fang didn't feel much at all.
He just called He Zhigao in front of him, handed him the drawing, and said: "I have bought a piece of land in the west of the city. This is the design drawing of the new winery. When the money comes from His Highness, you will prepare to recruit craftsmen to start.
Build it!”
He Zhigao smiled and said, "Master Lu has already asked someone to bring the money."
Lu Fang raised his eyebrows.
Pretty straightforward.
But also, Liang Dong and Lu Lin, can they still care about such a small amount of money?
"Then I will tell you how to build a winery."
He dragged He Zhigao towards the main hall.
Go to the main hall and spread out the design drawings on the table.
It was the general design drawing, but He Zhigao was already dumbfounded, "Young Master... is this, so big?"
Lu Fang had marked the dimensions on the design drawings, and even he could see them clearly.
The raw material area alone covers dozens of acres of land.
"Not big."
Lu Fang said: "To produce millions of kilograms of wine every year, we may need hundreds or even thousands of workers. That's how much land there is."
He Zhigao was stunned, "But building this... it will cost a lot of money, right?"
Just the densely packed houses on the master plan already made him feel numb.
This is simply like building a small county town!
"Build these main ones first."
Lu Fang pointed to the place where the horizontal line was drawn on the map and said: "As long as the winery can operate normally. Other places will be built slowly when we have money."
As he said this, he couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.
It would be great if there were construction talents on hand, it would save a lot of trouble. He Zhigao, I really don’t know if this can be done.
After thinking about it, he still said to He Zhigao: "If you really can't manage it, just find a master in the county who knows how to build, and just pay him a little every month."
"good!"
He Zhigao nodded happily.
He still knew how many pounds he had. Just looking at these drawings made him dizzy.
If we really had to leave it all to him, he wouldn't even know what to do.
It seems that Wang Laogeng builds houses for others in the alley, and I don't know if he can handle this matter well.
He Zhigao rolled up the drawings in a hurry and said, "Master, should I go find someone to take a look at it now?"
Lu Fang nodded, "Yes. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask the master to come to me."
But I was thinking in my heart that I should recruit some talents.
Accounting, construction, etc.
It's just that there are too few professional talents these days, but it's a troublesome thing.
