At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 118

Hearing the lord's question, Fan Zhu hurriedly said: "The newborn piglets, a total of [-] piglets, were brought by the subordinates, and they are now placed in Songzhuang outside the city."

In fact, he has always been puzzled by the matter of Xu Mu raising pigs.

Pork in this era is so bitter that it is extremely unpalatable.

The lord also said that he would raise pigs in large quantities...

In his mind, doing so would consume manpower and material resources, and the gains outweigh the losses.

However, he has no right to refute the lord's decision, so he has to follow suit.

"That's great. In this way, it happens that there are [-] more widows in Jiangdu City. First, you take these pigs to Xiaojinshan, build pigpens, prepare to raise them, and then recruit widows who know how to raise pigs throughout the city." Xu Mu said. , clapping hands and laughing.

This time the one hundred thousand Xiaoguo army left, leaving all the wives they assigned here.

Xu Mu was provided with sufficient and cheap labor.

There are not many piglets now, and in a few months, there will be more and more piglets, and he will completely open up the market for delicious big white pigs.

In addition, Wanmin Company is about to start the Wanmin cloth industry in Jiangdu City, and it also needs to hire a large number of women to weave.

After dealing with the piggies, Xu Mu once again remembered a crucial matter, and said in a deep voice, "How much medicine did you bring this time?"

He was afraid that the portion would not be enough, and the kidnapping would be troublesome.

Speaking of this, the corner of Fan Zhu's mouth twitched and said, "This subordinate asked Chen Xuanzhen to help gather some. There are not many Mongolian sweat medicines in Luoyang City, and the whole city is only 350 catties."

"However, the supply of Mongolian sweat medicine in Luoyang City is in short supply now, and those doctors are looking for sources of supply. There should be more Mongolian sweat medicine in a while." Fan Zhu then added.

Only then did Xu Mu feel relieved.

But after this incident, he was reminded.

For strategic materials such as Mongolian sweat medicine, we still need to prepare more in the future.

This time it was 700 people, if the kidnapping next time is 1000 people, I am afraid it will be troublesome.

After all, Mongolian sweat medicine is only sold in medical halls, but not many of them are sold.

No one is as frantic as Xu Mu, buying hundreds of catties at a time.

……

After the Xiaoguo army returned to the west, the Xianweiju in Jiangdu City also began to enter the Jiangdu market.

Under Fan Zhu's preparation, three Xianweijus opened at the same time three days later.

With the reputation of Xianweiju in Luoyang City as a foundation, Xianweiju became popular very quickly.

Soon it became popular throughout Jiangdu City.

No one can refuse the delicacy of Xianweiju.

And Xuansuo, that is, ordering takeaways, has also become popular, and Xianweiju, a subsidiary of Wanmin Company, has gradually gained a firm foothold in Jiangdu City.

At the same time, the cloth brought from Wanmin City opened up the cloth market in Jiangdu City because of its soft texture and ingenuity, which is different from ordinary silk fabrics and cheaper than silk and satin.

And in Xiaojinshan, Kong Xingyue also arrived smoothly.

He led an expanded military engineering team of more than [-] people, and sailed down in a mighty boat. Under Xu Mu's order, he prepared to mine copper mines.

Xiaojin Mountain occupies a huge area, Xu Mu originally thought that it would take a lot of trouble to win it.

Unexpectedly, a fishing boat took it down.

After handing over the title deed, Xiaojinshan’s money-making supervisor has moved away and was taken over by the military industrial team.

After seeing Xu Mu this time, Kong Xingyue unexpectedly did not complain.

Xu Mu noticed that there was no peace knife behind him...

So he couldn't help asking: "Xingyue, where is your knife?"

Speaking of this, Kong Xingyue looked at Xu Mu with resentment on his face, and said: "My lord, the army now has a peace knife, which can cut iron like mud. The last general... the last general still uses a heavy shovel It's easier."

As he spoke, he waved the shovel in his hand.

This work shovel has a huge shape, and under the design of Xu Mu, it simulates the engineering shovel of later generations, and adopts the method of unilateral cutting. It is handy and extremely efficient when performing mining and other operations.

And...it is extremely thick, and the side of the blade is extremely sharp. It can be used for mining on weekdays, and it can kill enemies when encountering them.

Seeing that Kong Xingyue seemed to have gotten used to this job, Xu Mu drew a big cake on the spot: "Xingyue, the times are different now, your military engineering team is very important, and in the future, Wanmin City will take over the world. Reward, you must be among the top ten!"

In fact, with the continuous development of new equipment by the research institute, the demand for generals and personal bravery will plummet in future hegemony.

So Xu Mu has been trying to find a way to make these men in the army develop in other directions.

After all, in terms of fighting, it is enough for him to have his nemesis Zhang Xutuo.

……

Pei House.

Xu Mu asked Xianweiju to deliver the meal, which attracted Er Pei's applause.

After the opening of Xianweiju, Er Pei has become a die-hard fan of Xianweiju, and does not eat food that is not Xianweiju.

And their debts piled up here with the opening of Xianweiju.

After eating and drinking, Xu Mu looked at Pei Yun, holding a bunch of new IOUs in his hands, and said, "My cousin is planning to buy property and build houses in Songzhuang, but he can't find a craftsman, I don't know..."

Pei Yun hurriedly said: "Xu Dalang, don't worry, this matter is easy! I will leave it to the old man!"

In fact, I have been eating and drinking at Xu Mu's place these days, and Pei Yun, as an upright person, is already very sorry.

Especially when the old debts were finally wiped out and new debts were added...

On the contrary, Pei Ju was very cheeky and showed no sense of shame.

After agreeing to Xu Mu, on the same day, Pei Yun called all the craftsmen who would be supervisors, and went to Songzhuang outside the city to help "Fan Dong's family" build a house.

Xu Mu was also very generous, promising them food and shelter.

Of course, the house really needs to be repaired.

Therefore, in the meals of the previous two days, there was no sweat medicine.

On the third day, almost all the houses he asked to build were completed.

It has to be said that these craftsmen who will be supervisors have two brushes and are proficient in various skills.

Otherwise, he would not be accepted and approved to enter the general prison.

You must know that these are all state establishments. Although they are reduced to craftsmen, they can still enjoy a lot of treatment.

Xu Mu has been serving good fish and meat these days. In his eyes, the value of these more than 700 craftsmen is much higher than the more than [-] scholars in the Imperial College.

In the future, inventions and creations will be encouraged in Wanmin City, and they will be the main body.

And those craftsmen who are willing to sign a death contract and join the research institute are the foundation for the future development of Wanmin City.

When the house was about to be built, Xu Mu sincerely invited Er Pei to come to Songzhuang with the idea of ​​a one-time solution.

The reason, of course, is that Song Zhuang found a hundred-jin big fish, which was stronger than a human being. He tried his best to catch it several times, but he couldn't catch it.

So he had no choice but to ask Er Pei for help.

After receiving Xu Mu's request for help, Er Pei was overjoyed and rushed to Songzhuang in a hurry.

"Where is the big fish?" The eyes of the two old men were shining.

Xu Mu: "..."

He found that these two old men were almost obsessed with fishing...

No way, who made ancient times not have so many entertainment methods in modern times.

Xu Mu's bluffing fish made the two old men so excited that they drove the fishing boat over.

Songzhuang is close to the Huai River. In fact, Xu Mu was right. Although the Huai River runs through Jiangdu City, there are more big fish in the Huai River area outside the city.

In this era, although there are few big fish weighing hundreds of catties, they are not uncommon, and fishermen often catch such huge fish.

It is usually regarded as a representative of auspiciousness, the kind that needs to pay tribute.

But...by fishing, no one has ever caught it.

It can be said that if Pei Ju and Pei Yun can catch a hundred catty fish, they will set a new record and become famous in fishing history!

In this way, Er Pei went boating and fishing in the waters near Songzhuang, so excited that even the hooks were replaced with extra-large ones.

Xu Mu and Wang Zhao just stood on the bank and watched. Of course, there was a group of Iron Buddha soldiers secretly.

Of course, Xu Mu didn't like these two old men at all.

Because... Wang Zhao has been standing by his side.

But that afternoon, when Er Pei was fishing in a boat, he actually uttered a cry: "Xu Dalang, a big fish has taken the bait!"

Xu Mu, who was standing on the shore, silently picked up a binoculars and looked over.

From tens of meters away, he could clearly see huge splashes on the water surface.

Then, the fishing boat actually started to be pulled away by the underwater fish.

"Did you really catch it?" Xu Mu was a little dazed.

Looking suspiciously at Wang Zhao beside him, this time, it was true.

He also didn't arrange for Wang Zhao to dive into the water and hang the fish.

And... Looking at the speed at which the fishing boat was being pulled, it showed how strong this fish was.

Seeing this scene, Wang Zhao's mouth twitched.

Looks like he really caught it.

"This fishing boat is built to catch big fish. In theory, it is really possible to catch big fish."

Xu Mu nodded slightly, picked up the binoculars, and watched the two old men wrestling with the fish.

Real fish at a real price!

Not a half-dead fish like Wang Zhao.

A big fish that grows in the Huai River is half dead and has no strength, and this big fish must exhaust all its strength if it wants to pull it up.

Otherwise, it would be extremely powerful in the water, and it would be extremely difficult to drag it out by manpower.

The fishing boat invented in the Song Dynasty was also born for walking fish.

The two old men sometimes shouted and sometimes screamed on the fishing boat, just like marching and fighting, which made Xu Mu's blood boil.

In the end, it took a full hour for the big fish in the water to struggle until exhausted, and then stopped, and was pulled out of the water by Pei Yun and Pei Ju.

The big fish nearly two meters long was pulled into the boat just like that.

The scene was magnificent.

"Xu Dalang! Look, the proposal you have been searching for for months has finally fallen into the hands of the two old men!"

After catching a big fish, Er Pei's face showed a look of complacency.

Xu Mu was so impressed that he hurriedly hit the rails while it was hot: "You two have perfected your fishing skills and reached the pinnacle. If you caught this giant fish today, why not...cook it on the spot. I will ask the chef from Xianweiju to cook it yourself and make a giant fish feast." how?"

Pei Yun and Pei Ju immediately stroked their gray beards and agreed directly.

At the same time, Xu Mu said that at this giant fish banquet, if they have any relatives, friends, and capable ones, they can call them...
