Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 320

Returning home from the shipyard, Sun Xin met a farmer on the road and brought him a report on the financial situation of the Dengzhou Spinning Mill.

Sun Xin looked at it all afternoon and then continued to flip through it in the morning, writing the next development plan of the spinning mill.

It was only at noon that he remembered that he was hungry, and it seemed that it was almost time for lunch, so Sun Xin went out of the bedroom to the table in the main room to get a piece of cake while eating and reading the report.

At this time, Ya'er, who was busy in the yard, slowly walked towards him.

Sun Xin looked up suspiciously, Ya'er is now 16 years old, and Xie Bao was married last year, but they are still doing things by Hu Sanniang's side.

Sun Xin raised his head and smiled, "What's wrong?"

"Master..." Ya'er looked at Sun Xin, "Do you have any opinion on my husband?"

As soon as this question was asked, Sun Xin couldn't help frowning, "What happened to me?"

"Xie Bao was bored when he came home yesterday. He didn't know how to eat and walked against the corner of the table, but he still muttered something. I asked him, and he said that you asked him to write something before he could go to Haizhou, so he thought about it... ..."

"He has been your apprentice for so many years, what are you doing to bully him, owner?"

Ya'er had never made too many demands on Sun Xin, but now her eyes were red when she spoke.

Sun Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry:

"I didn't make things difficult for him, but he really needs to come up with a report when he goes to Haizhou. If I don't value him, I won't give him this chance."

Hearing Sun Xin's answer to Ya'er, he felt relieved, "You really have no problem with him?"

Sun Xin shook his head with a smile, and asked her after thinking about it: "Speaking of which, would you like your husband to go to Haizhou?"

Hearing Sun Xin's question, Ya'er nodded decisively.

"Aren't you afraid of being separated from your husband?"

Ya'er replied naturally: "He is a man, so he naturally wants to go out to do things, not to mention that he is not going to a place of life and death. I asked the lady about the place in Haizhou, and she said that it was only after passing through Yizhou and then going south. When I was young, my miss and I visited relatives and even went to Yishui."

"But the foundation of that place is not good. After your husband-in-law goes, you will really suffer."

Ya'er said indifferently: "As long as you don't intend to make things difficult for him, the owner, it's nothing for him to suffer. If he wants to make contributions, he must suffer more. If he dares to complain about this, I will look down on him first."

Sun Xin was surprised that Ya'er was so open-minded, but people these days have experienced more pain in their lives than young people in later generations. It is not easy to have a chance to rise. Thinking about it carefully, Ya'er can have this idea. normal.

But hearing what Ya'er said, Xie Bao should have attached great importance to this opportunity.

Sure enough, Sun Xincai waited less than ten days for Xiebao to send over with a thick development report.

"Tell me how you want to run Haizhou?"

Sun Xin asked while flipping through the report.

Facing Sun Xin's question, Jie Bao was well prepared.

"I saw the situation of the land that Master bought in Lanshan. The land is close to the sea in the east and deep mountains in the west. It is an inaccessible place. We will build a small pier as soon as we arrive, so that we can receive it. Materials sent from Dengzhou. The second step is to develop salt production.”

"Although farmers and soldiers can be stationed in the early stage to be responsible for development, this is not a long-term solution. After all, a stable base can only be established if the local area can be self-sufficient."

"The development of Haizhou in the future will definitely need to attract a large number of dealers. The private salt in Haizhou is the most famous. As long as we can do private salt business with Dengzhou farmers and guns, there is this way of making money in the early days of Haizhou. The cost of construction is enough."

Sun Xin nodded, Xie Bao's plan was pretty much the same as he imagined. The best thing to start in Haizhou is tea and salt trading, which is lucrative and requires relatively few people.These two businesses are decapitation businesses, but they are located in the remote mountains and have enough force, so no one dares to control them.

Xie Bao continued talking about his plan.

According to Xie Bao's judgment, Haizhou's base area will not have a very large population in the future, but to maintain a new force there, the main job is to use the base area in the mountains to expand the power of the supervisory committee to Haizhou.

Sun Xin carefully looked at the plan given by Xie Bao. In the first phase, Xie Bao asked Sun Xin for a company of basic farmers and soldiers who had excellent training performance. They could serve as soldiers to defend the village and work as farmers.

The number of people was not large, so Sun Xin could still afford to use the best of the best to find a group of pioneers who opened up the Haizhou base area.

"How long do you estimate it will take to take root in Haizhou and start sending more dealers to you?"

Jie Bao gave an answer: "Three months."

Sun Xin was a little surprised, he didn't expect Xie Bao to limit his time to such a dead end.

Seeing Xie Bao's resolute eyes when he said this, Sun Xin knew in his heart that he was eager to get this opportunity, so he made such a military order.

Since he was so proud, Sun Xin went ahead and directly reduced another month: "Two months. If you can achieve self-sufficiency in Lanshan within two months, then you will be the base operate."

Since he wanted to show his determination to himself, he simply played with him. Sun Xin waited for Xie Bao to bargain with him, but unexpectedly, although Xie Bao had a embarrassed look on his face, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, two One month is two months."

This made Sun Xin have no strength to use, but he was flashed for a while, which felt weird.

Hu Sanniang had been giving Sun Xin a compliment when she was having dinner with her three wives at night, and after dinner Hu Sanniang found Sun Xin.

"what happened?"

"Is it too much for you to give Jie Bao two months?"

"Sun Xin frowned, when did this guy become a big horn, his mouth is faster than Ma Ziliu."

"It wasn't Xie Bao who said it. He was so bored that he could say something. It was Ya'er who came to me crying and told me that after returning home, Xie Bao didn't even eat. He just sat busy in front of the case. I'm afraid he was dazed."

Sun Xin spread his hands and said helplessly: "At that time, it was just to suppress the price. I didn't expect him to agree. It seems that he really wants to make a career. I don't want to interfere with this matter."

Sun Xin talked about the situation at that time, Hu Sanniang sighed and said: "He really wants to do things too much, but if you do it like this, Ya'er will call you bad master behind your back."

"She said that about me?"

Hu Sanniang smiled: "Don't you know Ya'er's character?"

"Oh, that's not right! We've been together for so long, if you have something to say directly, how can you hurt someone behind your back like this?"

"You are the owner of the manor, how dare she tell you in front of you, let alone the whole manor is our staff, even if she gets angry, she won't make trouble with you."

Sun Xin was speechless for a while.Fortunately, Hu Sanniang knew that Sun Xin had a good relationship with Xie Bao and Ya'er, so she dared to say this.

"Hey, I hope Jie Bao can do things well."

"Don't worry, I won't push him too much, but it takes a little pressure to do something, right?"

On the first day of June, Xie Bao landed on the coast of Huairen County by a large ship.

A group of people meandered all the way forward, followed the officials from the county government office to greet them and walked for more than half an hour, and finally arrived at the small col next to the Lanshan Mountain that Sun Xin had purchased.

Although Xie Bao arrived here for the first time, he has already wandered here many times in the data, looking at the villages in the distance and the dilapidated hills in front of him.

There are also some ruined thatched huts in the post, apparently people gathered here many years ago.

Xie Bao's first feeling was that the place was more dilapidated than he imagined.

Although Sun Xin’s information said that there was another Zhuangzi near their land, Xie Bao imagined that the village with a population of more than 100 should be as prosperous as the village in Dengzhou. Everyone was sallow and thin, and none of the people in Zhuangzi wore clothes for work. The sun in June was already a bit harsh, and everyone's backs were shiny with oil, and some of them had even peeled off their skin.

Xie Bao knew it was because he was too poor, and he was reluctant to wear his clothes while working, otherwise it would be unbearable to be working all day long.

This makes Xie Bao, who has made many plans, still beating his heart. The environment of this place seems to be worse than imagined.

But our future Zhuangzi should not be like this!
Xie Bao looked back at the more than 100 dealers who came with him. These are the basic peasants and soldiers transferred to him by Sun Xinyou, and many of them are even guards who retired after being injured in the battle of Sunjiazhuang. The army, each of them came here to participate in the development under the great kindness of Sun Xin. Not only are these people good at farming and working, they are far better than the officers and soldiers at this time even if they come to fight in any situation.

With such a man and horse as the confidence, coupled with his own planning in advance, it will definitely open up the situation!
Thinking of Xie Bao regaining some confidence in this way, he excitedly organized everyone to build a camp first.

Although Sun Xin gave Jiebao some funds for development, it was not extravagant enough to allow more than 100 people to live in the store. Therefore, Jiebao followed Sun Xin's method of taking in the guests in Sunjiazhuang, and organized the first day of the day. Everyone built a living shed near the harbor.

These farmers can bear hardships and stand hard work. Although the residence is blown by the sea breeze every day and it is inconvenient to drink water, everyone still has no complaints and is even full of energy. All the staff went to battle to build a simple shed. According to Sun Xin's requirements, various supporting facilities were implemented, such as a shared canteen and toilets separated from the distance.

On the third day, Xiebao divided the bankers into three groups. One group found suitable places by the sea to build trestles and built trestles, preparing to receive the supplies that Sun Xin sent them from Dengzhou.

The second part of the manpower is to do construction work, building thatched houses with rammed earth walls next to the simple work sheds. This group of people is not large, but they must do this to let the farmers know that their lives will be one step at a time. This is the management technique that Xie Bao and Sun Xin have learned for so many years. Only when the dealers have the hope of improving their lives can they work steadily.

As for the remaining 60 people, Xie Bao took them to the seaside, where Sun Xin discovered a deserted salt field when observing the terrain before, and Xie Bao asked people to pick up mud to repair the salt pond.
