Although Wen Guan was in a mess and even smelled a little sweaty, he could not hide the smile on his face.
"Sir, today we pulled ten carts. According to the instructions, we stirred them all and mixed them with the sand. After trying it, it is indeed very strong."
Even Ma Feng ran back, and the two of them talked about the cement created by Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang smiled, everything was as expected, waved his hand to calm them down, and selected carpenters to cut down the trees as soon as possible to make molds, so that the cement could be poured in and mixed directly.
In Jiangyang's arrangement, sufficient silt and limestone are needed. Carpenters and workers on the other side prop up the mold along the river embankment, punch it every fifty centimeters, and stir it thoroughly in the mold.
After being superimposed again and again, the embankment will eventually be more than five meters high from the embankment to the top according to Jiang Yang's vision, and it will be very strong.
"And today there are more than 600 people coming to work in Xiami County, and I estimate there will be more in the future." Ma Feng said excitedly.
Wang Tong reported that the food originally cost one or two or three taels, but now it costs thirteen taels to buy it.
And he bought ten thousand taels of grain for a total of 130,000 taels of silver, which made Jiang Yang's mouth twitch.
But there is no way.
Wang Tong pondered for a moment and continued: "Many people began to dig wild vegetables in the Western Mountains because they could not afford food and knew that there was not enough food left."
Jiang Yang frowned. This was not a good idea.
Every incident triggers conflicts over time. Now the people still have surplus food and money in their hands, so they should resist first.
What he has to do is to race against time and solve this problem before the people are desperate.
Nodding, Jiang Yang ordered: "Just ask them to pull the grain to the river embankment. Chen Zhiyong sent fifty people to go to the river embankment to guard the grain. Tell them to make big steamed buns for me. Do you have 50,000 yuan?"
I go out every day to buy vegetables and meat, and I cook something good for them every now and then."
Hearing Jiang Yang's words, several people's eyes widened instantly.
Some people even want to ask, are those refugees your father? You are so good to them.
In today's society, eating meat is mandatory all year round. If you are so determined to cut off two ounces of meat, you won't be able to eat it normally.
Look at you, you are building houses for them, dividing the fields among them, and now you are taking care of food, housing, and paying wages. How can you still eat so well?
"Sir... I'm afraid I won't be able to afford the money." Wang Tong frowned and said worriedly.
Once ten kilograms of grain, ten thousand kilograms is one hundred thousand kilograms. An adult eats half a kilogram of grain, vegetables and meat a day.
This one hundred thousand kilograms can't hold it, and they still have wages.
According to Wang Tong's calculations, the entire Xiami County may invest about 20,000 people.
One person has one penny of silver per day, which is also two thousand taels. What about food? Ten thousand dan of grain, one hundred thousand catties, is not enough for a week.
Calculated in this way, plus meat, vegetables, and other expenses, I am afraid that all 500,000 taels will be spent in less than a month.
"It's okay. I already have an idea about the money matter. Just go ahead and do it boldly."
Wang Tong nodded, and then said that according to Jiang Yang's command, all the uniforms of the government officials had been distributed, and they were equipped with broadswords and killing sticks, which seemed to have a certain taste.
And he continued to order the blacksmith shops across the county to continue making tools, and even farm tools. He visited many places today and kept the prices to the lowest.
Jiang Yang nodded and said he did a good job. Chen Zhiyong didn't have much to say. He just continued to train the team step by step and was responsible for guarding safety.
After telling them to deliver some food to Wang Chen and Manager Liu, Jiang Yang came to the back and started messing around.
I made a special trip to chop down two bamboos, squatting on the ground and whittling them by candlelight.
I also prepared a few jars and wanted to find a pipe, but there was no way. There was no rubber in this era, so I had to use pig intestines.
Well...this wine has to go through thousands of things in the world before it can enter your throat.
After working until midnight, he finally made a simple distiller. He was going to distill and purify the liquor he brought back from the inn to increase the alcohol concentration.
If he had enough time, he could completely create the aroma and hops of the wine, but if he didn't have enough time, he could only do it temporarily.
As long as it's better than what's sold in the inn, it will naturally be marketable. Jiang Yang has a clear plan.
The strong man in this inn had his own sales and wine. He bought his wine at a low price at first, and after secondary processing, he asked him to sell it. During this period, he bought some grain and made wine by himself.
Wouldn’t that mean a steady flow of money?
Jiang Yang poured the jar of wine into the porcelain jar, and placed the loose bamboo frame on top to form a simple device. He then took out the firewood he had prepared and lit a fire underneath.
Because the boiling point of alcohol is lower than that of water, when heated, the alcohol will evaporate first and then pass through the pig intestines and bamboo into the second porcelain jar for cooling.
In this way, pure and high-alcohol liquor and spirits can be obtained.
After cooking for a full hour, the jar of wine was almost done.
When he uncovered the cloth on the second jar, a scent of wine hit his nostrils. Although it was not what Jiang Yang expected, it was enough.
But there is bad news. A jar full of ordinary white wine can only extract two-thirds of the white wine.
Not being able to care so much for the time being, Jiang Yang packed everything up and went to bed.
The next day, after the arrangements were made, Jiang Yang walked towards the inn holding the jar of wine.
Inside the inn, the muscular man had been waiting eagerly.
There was a petite and lovely woman following beside her. The woman whispered: "Husband, are you overthinking it? Our family's wine-making skills are very good. How come you believe someone who says it is better than ours?"
"
The muscular man hesitated for a moment and then said slowly: "That man has an unusual demeanor, and I think he is very confident. He probably won't lie to me."
"Oh, husband..."
Before the woman had finished speaking, the muscular man saw a familiar figure coming across from him and immediately went to meet him.
"Sir, I have been waiting for you here for a long time." The strong man stared at the jar and whispered: "Is this the wine you brought?"
Jiang Yang nodded, he would not foolishly use their wine cans yesterday to fill the wine.
I changed to a smaller one that looked full of wine and had a red seal on it.
Under the leadership of the strong man, the two people walked directly into the private room.
As soon as he sat down, the man in fine clothes couldn't wait to rub his hands and said: "Can you let me take a look?"
Jiang Yang nodded in agreement and watched as the muscular man eagerly opened the seal above.
