Chapter 129 Good things keep coming, Zhicai discovers the artifact on the battlefield
After seeing off the three families, Zhu Han breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the clothes on his back were soaked with cold sweat over and over again. Especially the way Zhen Yan looked at him before leaving, Zhu Han always felt a little
Weirdly.
"Not bad, Boyun, this allows you to get 10,000 gold and 100,000 stones of grain, and then we can do something big!"
Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up and he began to figure out where to use the ten thousand gold.
"Well! Although we gave up 30% of the profits, these 100,000 shi of food have indeed solved the urgent need! The scale of the wine shop must be expanded, the clothing workshop and the escort agency must be established, and the school must not be left behind!"
After Zhu Han thought for a while, he ordered: "Release the news about these three companies' investment in Zuixianjiang, so that the more people know about it, the better! Personnel must be recruited first and training started. We cannot wait until the workshop is opened before recruiting people.
!Sister Zhang used to manage the clothing workshops in the city. Now that Chenxiang Pavilion is preparing to enter the market in other counties, she must be too busy. During this time, you and Sister Zhang will do more to see how the managers of the clothing workshops use it.
Who is the most suitable?"
"What about the head of the escort agency? Who do you plan to use? Pei Yuanshao?"
Seeing that Zhu Han did not talk about the escort agency, Xi Zhicai guessed that he planned to appoint Pei Yuanshao. When Pei Yuanshao wanted to be the master of Tingfeng Pavilion, Zhu Han did not agree. With his urine, he would definitely not do it for the so-called agreement.
Just give up on using this talent.
"Yes, Pei Yuanshao was a bandit in his early years. He has a very rough atmosphere and is familiar with the trivial affairs of the people. It is perfect for him to be the head of the escort agency! However, we must also give him a deputy, and we cannot let him act recklessly!"
Zhu Han nodded and expressed his thoughts without hesitation.
"By the way, I have thought of a candidate for the master of Tingfeng Pavilion!"
Xi Zhicai hesitated for a moment and said.
"Who?"
"The head of the Ma family - Ma Yuan, this person has been around the county for decades. He is familiar with the place and highly respected by people. Wherever he goes, others will give him some face. It is best for him to be the master of Tingfeng Pavilion.
but!"
Xi Zhicai said seriously.
"No, Ma Yuan comes from a noble family and cannot be the leader!"
After Zhu Han heard this, he shook his head and refused: "You can choose someone else!"
In fact, Zhu Han had already thought about hiring Ma Yuan as the head of Tingfeng Pavilion, but now that he has become the top leader in Jing County, when he is ready to show off his talents, he cannot use family members indiscriminately, especially such a highly respected grandpa.
, you can’t hit or scold, you can’t scold! It’s good that you have the ability, and people will help you to solve things while you are playing, but you are afraid that they will occupy the latrine and not shit, then you will really invite yourself back.
Big Buddha.
"Sir, extraordinary time requires extraordinary means! I have considered the recommendation of Ma Yuan for a long time and made it after careful deliberation. I believe that hiring Ma Yuan is the best choice for the county at this stage!"
Only then did Xi Zhi know what Zhu Han was afraid of. He quickly explained: "Ma Yuan was also from a poor family when he was young! He doesn't have the bad habits of those aristocratic families with Korean materials! On the contrary, the Ma family is one of the few in Jingxian County who is willing to do anything for him.
A family where the common people contribute, the Ma family recruits all poor people except for the members of the family. In addition, the Ma family has very good tutoring, and most of the children in the family are benevolent and generous people, which can be seen from Ma Chuang! For such a family, we should strive for it
, instead of shutting them out, I beg you, sir, to think twice! If you agree, I will go and persuade Ma Yuan to be the master of Tingfeng Pavilion."
"Then go and give it a try! Remember, never show your impatience! Someone pinched your little tail!"
Zhu Han thought about it and decided to adopt Xi Zhicai's suggestion and ask him to take some time to visit Ma's house.
Later, Zhu Han and Xi Zhicai carefully discussed the addresses of each workshop, and finally decided to open the escort agency next to the wine shop, and place the clothing workshop on the other side of the escort agency. In this way, most of the people in the escort agency were warriors and could provide wine.
This provides an additional layer of security for the winery and clothing workshops, and allows for better shipment and purchase of goods. Next to the winery, Zhu Han also specially added a small fire station to prevent accidents.
The white horse has passed by, time flies, and the remaining months will arrive in the blink of an eye.
Since Ma Yuan agreed to serve as the master of Tingfeng Pavilion, the security of Jing County has been greatly improved. Whether it is the green-skinned gangsters in the street or the mountain bandits wandering around the countryside, they dare not move under Ma Yuan's suppression.
The reputation of the Ma family has also reached a new height. In just one month, it has overshadowed the Wang family and the Han family, and has become the most well-deserved wealthy family in Jingxian County.
At the end of March, the Zhen family, as agreed, sent all 1,500 young slaves, 100,000 shi of grain, and 500 craftsmen to Jing County. With these young slaves, Zhu Han's labor on the project
The expenses have been greatly reduced, and they can do everything. Anyway, they only need to take care of food, and they can make a living easily.
Among the five hundred craftsmen, most of them were carpenters and stonemasons. There were not many blacksmiths, only dozens of them. Zhen Yan knew that Zhu Han urgently needed to build armaments, so he reduced the number of blacksmiths, but he thought it was okay.
Zhu Han's approach helped Zhu Han a lot. Nowadays, Chenxiang Pavilion is in urgent need of expansion, and there are very few carpenters. Zhen Yan sent him two to three hundred master carpenters at once, but
This kid was so happy that with a wave of his hand, he sent all the carpenters to Mrs. Zhang and asked her to coordinate the life and work of this group of people.
As for the stonemason, it is also of great use to Zhu Han. The city model he made at the Moxiang Academy was not his work on a whim, but his initial model to expand the county seat. It not only included the central square, but also the people's living area.
, consumer areas, various workshop areas, Tingfeng Pavilion, schools, fire stations, military camps, warehouses and a series of supporting facilities needed by the city have been considered. Among them, the modification of private houses is the largest, and he plans to use bluestone.
Using steel rods, cement, and wood as the base, he built a three- to four-story or six-to-seven-story landmark building. This also paved the way for his subsequent real estate speculation.
As long as the progress goes smoothly, after Jingxian's products become famous, countless people will flock to it. At that time, it will be the best time for him to develop real estate and build a new city. During the stage when hot spots are gradually rising, housing prices will often stay at the top.
If the price is too high and people deliberately hype it up, Zhu Han firmly believes that his new real estate will definitely sell well. As long as it becomes popular, he can also rely on his advanced technology to expand new cities and renovate old cities in surrounding counties.
He took over everything. What he has to do now is to train a group of masters and technicians who can build buildings in a short period of time. The floors of the houses are not high, so it is not difficult to build them. Moreover, Zhu Han himself has also worked on a building construction site.
, I have worked as a technician to run errands for others, and I have also worked as a migrant worker to move bricks. Although my skills are not very good, it should not be a big problem to serve as the chief designer of a building in this era.
On this day, Zhu Han was discussing in an empty room in the Yamen with a few exciting young men carefully selected by Xi Zhicai.
"Sir, what kind of trouble are you planning to make?"
Looking at the real estate model in front of him, not to mention its novel shape, the floors were quite high, with a full seven floors. Xi Zhicai couldn't understand what Zhu Han was thinking, so he asked angrily.
"Hey! Zhicai, look at this property, what does it look like?"
Zhu Han rubbed his hands while admiring his masterpiece and said with a smile: "This is the residential house in our new city!"
"What? New city? What new city?"
Xi Zhicai rolled his eyes and subconsciously took over the conversation, but after he said a few words, his eyes suddenly opened wide, and then he asked with a look of disbelief: "Sir, you... want to expand the new city
?”
"Yes! Jingxian County occupies a small area! It's just a few streets! It can accommodate not many people, only twenty or thirty thousand people!" Zhu Han took a wooden stick and led everyone to another sand table.
There is a model of Jingxian City on the sand table, and a new city has been added next to the model. It covers an area of twice the original Jingxian County and is much larger! It must be said that the planning of the new city is very impressive.
It's comfortable. The streets are flat and wide, and the various areas are neatly divided. Each area has its function written on it with small bamboo rafts. Xi Zhicai was fascinated by the planning of this new city after just one glance.
, I saw him lying down next to the sand table, staring at the sand table attentively. Zhu Han did not disturb him, just stood aside quietly, and during this period, he did not forget to remind others to keep quiet.
"ah!"
After Xi Zhicai watched it for a while, he shouted excitedly, shocking everyone around him.
"I'm talking about Zhicai, why don't you always be so startled?"
Zhu Han patted his chest and joked: "If you come here a few times, I will lose a few years of my life!"
"Sir, this...what is this?"
Xi Zhicai was not in the mood to chat with Zhu Han. He pointed at the sand table tremblingly and asked stammeringly.
"Sand table! What? You haven't seen it?"
Zhu Han replied angrily. He secretly thought, aren't you a guy who is said to be very talented? If you come up with something new and call it a monster once, Zhu Han will not be able to bear it in the future.
"Sand table? Sand table?" Xi Zhicai once again lay down and looked at the sand table carefully. This time he didn't just look at it. He looked at the sand table and said excitedly: "Such a masterpiece, it is definitely the best on the battlefield."
The divine weapon, with it, is enough to rival thousands of soldiers and horses!"
"Bring me the scale!" Xi Zhicai grabbed the ruler from someone's hand and measured it directly at the mountain peak next to the new city. Then he measured the length of the wall of the old city. After he finished measuring, he
He frowned and said with dissatisfaction: "I personally took someone to measure the length of the old city wall. The actual length of this side is eighteen miles and three feet. On the sand table, it becomes eighteen feet and three inches. From this
It can be seen that you made this sand table according to a certain proportion, but the size of the mountain is wrong! I have seen that mountain before, and it must be at least eight or ninety feet long. Why is it only seven inches on the sand table?"
"Well, if it's a length, we can still see it, but if it's a height, we can only see it with our eyes! Our instruments are not advanced, aren't we?"
Zhu Han was left speechless by the question. He held it in for a long time before replying with a smile: "There is an inch or two missing on the sand table. Doesn't it matter? Zhicai, don't be too serious!"
"Sir, what you said is a bit wrong. On a sand table made according to your proportions, one inch of space on the top is only one foot away in reality. How big is the difference? If it were used as a military sand table, these would be fatal.
The shortcomings need to be corrected! Furthermore, there are three hundred steps in one mile, six feet per step, and ten inches per foot. Your proportions are also wrong? Or in other words, the proportions above one foot on the sand table are the same, and those below one foot are the same.
Is it another proportion? If that’s the case! What’s the point of all your hard work in making this sand table? It’s just a useless effort!”
