This mountain is mine

Chapter 179 Met Your Ex

This is the benefit of inconvenient transportation. No matter how busy Bianjing is, Fangling is still busy and dull.

On the seventh day of June, Zhao Man and Yu Miaomiao went to Fangling City. The mountain stuck between Liushutun and Fangling City had not been cleared up, especially the miasma. They still drove a horse-drawn carriage from the Shangyong County Government Office. Row.

One of them is to collect the dividends from last month's wine to run the fertilizer workshop.

In addition, Zhao Man was also asked to select a few people from the army to be stewards and train them to specialize in fertilizer workshops and mines.

"The fertilizer contract I have already signed with Yang Che is just the beginning. In the future, these fertilizers will be able to make money, and they can be self-sufficient. There will be more and more trivial matters such as account management, settlement, monthly payment, etc. I don't know what you are looking for. Is there anyone who is suitable among the people? I am afraid that I will not be reliable if I find an outside manager."

Yu Miaomiao was thinking about it.

Those who come out of the military camp work hard and are willing to obey orders, but they can deal with business matters and deal with them, so they have to pick and choose.

Zhao Man smiled and said: "Don't worry, there must be someone you are satisfied with, and they are not born as soldiers. Among the more than 2 people, there are some who have been in charge before."

"Is it more than 2?" Yu Miaomiao clicked her tongue, thinking about how to solve a lot.

She didn't know yet that some people thought that Zhao Man had 20 soldiers, but in fact he had [-] soldiers. At the time of the last battle, the three countries were already negotiating peace. Give it to others to vent their anger, fight to the death, and more than [-] people were killed or injured.In fact, there are less than [-] left.

Some people deducted pension silver taels, also in order to whitewash the peace, deducted a little from one, and deducted a little from that, only made sacrifices of four to five thousand, and concealed more than 1 casualties.

Then he was so angry that he returned to Bianjing to seek justice, but he could not bring soldiers and horses into Beijing. He only brought three thousand and placed them outside the city. He made a big fuss in Bianjing, and the 3000 people did not survive.

So everyone thought that counting the three thousand, Zhao Man would have fifty thousand troops left.

Later, they climbed mountains and ridges along the way, all walking in the mountains, and the tragedy was no less than a big battle. Who knew that the heartache would be apart from themselves?
There were casualties along the road, running and scattered, and now there are less than 3 people left.

Seeing that Zhao Man's expression was gloomy, and someone came again, Yu Miaomiao didn't continue to ask, but took the dividend with Zhou Guanshi, and made up his mind that the money was enough for tomorrow's salary, and the rest was used to improve the environment.

Yu Miaomiao also breathed a sigh of relief, now that the workshop and the mine have increased their manpower, and the expenses are getting bigger and bigger.

It took a lot of effort to select only those in charge, but fortunately, these people respected Yu Miaomiao very much, and the procedure progressed in an orderly manner.It's just that Yu Miaomiao didn't come up with anything valuable after asking for a long time.

She couldn't help being a little disappointed, and was thinking about what to do next, but when she looked at Zhao Man, who was sitting with a big horse and golden knife, with a serious face, she suddenly woke up, and pushed him: "You go out first, wait for me outside." Yes, I can't ask anything if you sit here, it will only add to the confusion."

Zhao Man slowly turned his head to look at her, and a few brave soldiers looked up at Zhao Man, trembling with fright, Madam detested the prince for making trouble, so bold.

Yu Miaomiao pushed him again, and he snorted, knocked her on the head, stood up and went out without saying anything.Seeing that Zhao Man was kicked out by his wife, the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed, especially the faces of the soldiers who were waiting for the interview were much more relaxed, as if they were sweating less, and they looked at Yu Miaomiao with new eyes. .

Yu Miaomiao asked again one by one, and finally asked each person's strengths clearly.

Zhao Man is here, and they dare not speak up, let alone sell things to comrades in the army. Although it is not a violation of military orders, it is not a good thing, who dares to say?
Now with Yu Miaomiao's guarantee, it will never be leaked out, and Zhao Man can't care about these trivial matters, they also know that the prince will not interfere with soil mines and fertilizer workshops, so he said it half-covered.

Yu Miaomiao was delighted to hear that, she really has a few talents.

She pondered, the fertilizer workshop and the mine are very close, and they are also an assembly line, so they are jointly managed, and a total of seven people were selected.

"The three of you are in charge of logistics, sales, and production and delivery respectively. As for the responsibilities and rights, I have written them all in this booklet. You can read them first. If you don't understand, you can ask me."

These few people took it over and looked at it from the side.

Yu Miaomiao ordered two accountants again, one is the chief steward, and the responsibilities and rights are still clearly listed. She just adopts the accountability system. almost.

"Starting from this month, the fertilizer workshop will have income, and gradually the logistics and food will be self-sufficient. You are all experienced. After a few years, you can get started if you are familiar with it. If it doesn't work, follow Manager Zhou for a few days Heavenly leg, let's learn."

Hearing what she said, these people responded again and again.I asked some questions that I didn't understand, and Yu Miaomiao answered them patiently.

When the arrangements are completed, people will leave.

As soon as these people went out, they saw Zhao Man, and they hurriedly looked down. Seeing Zhao Man waved his hand, he didn't stop them. They were in a complicated mood for a while. Although they wanted to live a normal life for a long time, the prince didn't reprimand them In the future, they will no longer be soldiers of the prince, and they will feel a little lost again.

Zhao Man didn't know the mood of these people, he saw Yu Miaomiao smiling, he thought he was satisfied with this matter, and he reluctantly ignored what Yu Miaomiao thought he was in the way.

Later, someone came to report to Zhao Man, and none of them avoided Yu Miaomiao.

It turned out that the family members of some disabled soldiers had been picked up from other places one after another in the past few days. The first batch of them were all helpless in their hometowns, living in poverty, some old and some young.

"These people came here for the reason of fleeing famine, and the number was not large, but they didn't attract much attention. In the future, there will be more and more refugees, but we can take advantage of the opportunity to bring in a group of people, but it is impossible for the government to settle refugees. "

"According to the usual practice, those who escaped from the disaster waited until the disaster had passed before returning to their original place of origin. For those who are unwilling to go back, if they find a job, or get married and have a family, they can also settle here. It just takes some time. strength."

Only then did Yu Miaomiao know that many places in Huainan, Jiangnan, and Jinghu were severely drought-stricken, and refugees had already appeared in many counties.

Zhao Man was still a little worried about the arrangement of these people. Although he had mountains and forests waiting to be reclaimed and gold mines to be mined, he couldn't accommodate so many women and children.

There is little land in Fangling, and the farmland acquired from the Zhang family is all used by former farm laborers, so it is not acceptable to suddenly stop renting it to them for no reason.

Now I don't worry at all.

And Yu Miaomiao has already prepared work for the families of the workers in the mine and fertilizer workshop: cooking, making uniforms and masks, washing clothes, so that no one will be idle, and of course wages must be counted.

In addition, it is also planned to demolish one of Zhao Man's real estate and transform it into a three-to-four-story residence, which can accommodate more people.

In addition, the mountains of her and Zhao Man can't be left empty. Even if they can't be reclaimed into fields, they can raise chickens, ducks, flowers and plants. They can also pick mushrooms and wild vegetables on the mountains.

The most important thing is spinning and weaving, which requires a lot of hands.

Yu Miaomiao heard that there were women coming, so she asked to send a few women who were nimble and able to spin, and she planned to make a few woolen textiles first, to see how well everyone accepted them, so she was confident , Also have to do market research to see how the market accepts woolen products.

Also, it doesn't take much wool to make just a few woolen pieces, and it's simple to arrange.

With a plan in mind, everything was carried out without haste.

Zhao Man did not avoid Yu Miaomiao for the rest, even the trivial matters of military training.

In addition to more than 2000 disabled people, there are more than [-] elite soldiers, all in Zhushan County.The miasma in Zhushan was removed earlier than in other places, and they had opened several training grounds in the mountain.

As for the more than 2000 disabled soldiers, except for a few mines and fertilizer workshops in Yu Miaomiao.

There are also those who log in the Fangling Mountains, who take turns to learn from Yu Miaomiao's terraced fields, and after learning for a while, arrange to go to other places to open up wasteland and build terraced fields. This is what Yu Miaomiao knows.

What she just learned today is that Zhao Man still has three brick kilns in Zhushan and Zhuxi respectively, which specialize in firing blue bricks and blue tiles.

There are also several blacksmith shops, several handcrafted woodwork workshops, and an escort agency and wood workshop are under preparation.

Some people were scattered in the shop, running errands and doing chores, and there were many people settled in various places.

The rest is prepared for the mining of the gold mine. The gold sand that was originally stored in the gold mine has now been dragged out, which is enough for a while, because the toxin is still closed, and only activated carbon is continuously put into it. , and there is no rush to mine now.

After discussing everything, everyone went down, Yu Miaomiao and Zhao Man also came out, got into the carriage, Zhao Man drove the carriage himself, and Yu Miaomiao sat outside the carriage with him.

Looking at the people around him, he felt a little agitated. There were so many people, and he didn't know how he resisted. Apart from military affairs, he had to deal with so many trivial matters.

Fortunately, these things will gradually get better. If you can continue to buy some time to settle these things properly, and wait until everything is on the right track, as long as these people can be self-sufficient and live a normal life, his pressure will be less .

"There's been a lot of movement in Fangling now, and I don't know if someone will find out." Yu Miaomiao sighed.She understands the truth of shooting the first bird, not to mention Zhao Man still has such an identity.

Zhao Man squeezed her hand, "Stupid woman, I was originally exiled from Fangling. There is no law that stipulates that I cannot marry a wife or do business in Fangling. There are still a few families, and we are not the most eye-catching."

Most of Fangling here are exiled, the Zhang family that has been relocated, the Fang family that has been relocated, and the Li family that has settled down, the Lian family, the Zhu family, which one is not an exile, and they also operate here If you change your dynasty, you will become a big family.

The point is those soldiers and horses, as long as there is no trace of these people, he can't do anything to him on the surface. As for coming secretly, he doesn't worry about it. He is the least afraid of others conspiring with him.

Yu Miaomiao is right when he thinks about it. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, they do most of their work in agriculture, industry, and business. They are all humble identities. The Li family in Fangling is more eye-catching than them. The Li family did not enter the court as an official, but opened an academy to educate people , Writing a book and passing it down to the world can be regarded as peaches and plums all over the world. As Yang Hao said last time, after reading Li Sijin's poems, he admires him very much.

The Li family has a great influence in the class of scholars.In addition, Zhang's and Murong's businesses, in the eyes of outsiders, are basically in the hands of Fang Aonan, that is to say, Fang's took over. With them blocking the front, what they do is not eye-catching.

Yu Miaomiao felt relieved.

While speaking, Fangling Academy could already be seen, and he came to find Bi Kuo, and asked him to see how to use the waterfall water.This mountain is under Yu Miaomiao's name. She wants to use water power on wool spinning to achieve great things. The development of water power is the most important step.

This time, he did not climb over the fence to enter the courtyard. Bi Kuo asked someone to open the side door in the small courtyard where he lived, so that he could go in and out. Only an old man who guarded the gate dozed off at the door.

Woke him up, gave him a reward, and let him look at the carriage under the book, but he didn't send anyone to inform him, so he went in spontaneously.

It is very hot everywhere else, but because a water wheel keeps turning in this yard, the water flow has also taken away a lot of heat, making it very cool.

When the two entered the room, Bi Kuo was lying halfway on the bamboo chair, holding a book, while his disciples were serving tea, playing fans, and being sent out, very comfortable.

Seeing Zhao Man and Yu Miaomiao coming in, his attitude was very casual, he didn't get up, he just pointed to the chair on one side for them to relax, and asked the disciples around him to serve them tea. Watching Yu Miaomiao very casually.

Just looking at the person serving the tea, Yu Miaomiao was a little surprised, it was actually Zhang Jian, Zhang Jiasanlang.

Shouldn't this person still be in the cell? Even if Liu Tingzhou is responsible for the Zhang family's affairs, he can be punished lightly, but now Liu Tingzhou has not returned, and the case has not yet been judged. What's going on?

She asked Zhao Man with her eyes, and Zhao Man was still paying attention to the Zhang family's affairs, so she naturally knew, and said straightly: "The academy is the guarantee, and the imperial court also treats the students preferentially."

It turned out that this was the case, and Yu Miaomiao didn't ask anymore. Although she and Zhang Jian had a marriage contract, they were almost strangers, and later they became enemies. Naturally, there was no need to exchange pleasantries, and only talked about the use of water power with Bi Kuo. Come.

But when Zhang Jian saw Yu Miaomiao and Zhao Man, his mood was more complicated, ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times more intense than Yu Miaomiao, like the water still tumbling in the copper pot in his hand, his face was red and white, but his heart was boiling , The hands that poured the tea trembled.

In fact, he only met Yu Miaomiao twice, secretly once before the engagement, and once again on the second day of February. He actually didn't remember Yu Miaomiao's appearance, and now Yu Miaomiao also wore a curtain. It's not that he recognizes Yu Miaomiao, but that he recognizes Zhao Man.

The Yu family broke up with the Zhang family, Yu Miaomiao got married, and later his third fiancée was kicked and injured by Zhao Man. Someone also told him about it. He saw Zhao Man on the road.

Seeing Zhao Man and Yu Miaomiao coming hand in hand, he naturally knew that the person next to Zhao Man was Yu Miaomiao.

From Zhang Jian and Yu Miaomiao's resignation, the two subsequent marriages also made big jokes, and from the top figure in Fangling to a prisoner, the fragile heart of the young man was like sailing in a storm, and he never felt safe for a moment At this time, seeing Li Miaomiao for the first time, he felt humbled and humbled, which was very embarrassing.

It can be imagined that Yu Miaomiao confronted him on the day when the dragon raised his head, and broke up unhappy. He didn't want Yu Miaomiao to be proud of seeing his downfall at this time, so he forced himself to be calm.

Seeing Zhao Man next to Yu Miaomiao again, although his expression was not good, but thinking of them coming in hand in hand just now, and thinking of the broken shoes that he didn't want before, now he is the teacher's guest, after seeing himself a little surprised, he talked with the teacher, then The man would also look at her from time to time, with a very slow expression. Presumably, the husband and wife should be very harmonious. Facing the invisible show of affection, he seemed to have swallowed a fly in his heart.

All of a sudden, it can be said to be full of mixed flavors.
