Chapter 103: Mahjong to benefit the country and the people

The air inside the silkworm house is fresh. The black gauze wraps the window, and the wind passes through, but part of the sunlight is blocked. The room is a little dark. The sound of the silkworm biting the mulberry leaves falls like spring rain.

Zhang Tang and Yun Lang put on clean sackcloth, put on a strange mask, and walked along the stacks of huge 笸 箩 frame to watch.

"In five days, the silkworms here will stop eating and prepare to go to the silkworm hills." Liu Po, also dressed, said softly.

Zhang Tang looked back at the countless silkworms and asked in a low voice, "Will there be 10,000 strands of silk?"

Yun Lang motioned to Liu Po ​​to answer.

Liu Po ​​Shili said: "There are only a lot of them. The wife found that the silkworms at home are generally larger than the silkworms outside. In this way, there are more silkworms produced, and there are only 10,000 bundles of silkworms."

Tang Tang looked at the other servants in the same clothes and asked Liu Po: "Why should I wear such clothes?"

Liu Po ​​laughed: "These clothes should be scalded with boiled water every time you wear them. People who enter here should not apply grease or powder, and there should be no odor on their bodies. These silkworm babies are so precious. Will be sick in groups ... "

Listening to a wife, Zhang Tang did not have any impatience. Until Liu Poxuo finished talking, she sighed, "It really is a special talent."

Until now, Zhang Tang did not doubt that this silkworm workshop could produce 10,000 bundles of silk.

Walked out of the silkworm house and changed his clothes. He happened to see a group of children coming back with a huge flock of chickens and geese.

"So, your family is going to open another workshop dedicated to chicken and goose breeding?"

Yun Lang smiled bitterly: "I had this plan, but ah, it failed. Nine CDs of the chickens I bought were public. These chickens were useless except for eating meat. I actually want them to lay eggs, no Selling chicken, you can get a good income by selling eggs only. "

Zhang Tang said with a smile: "This is a failure. Catch some more chicks next year and distinguish between male and female. Isn't it a thing?"

Yun Lang shook his head and said: "It is impossible to breed chickens by hens. The number is too small to say that there is no way to supply a huge chicken farm. The house is undergoing artificial incubation. Does the doctor want to see it?"

"Oh? Can chicks be hatched without relying on hens?"

"It is being tested, and there are just a few ways now."

Yun Lang invited Zhang Tang to walk inside the pine forest. The place where the chicks were hatched was near the hot spring, and only here could create a suitable hatching temperature for the eggs.

"Actually, there is nothing magical about it. The hens rely on body temperature to incubate the chicks. I was wondering if we could hatch the chicks without the hens by giving them the proper temperature.

Happens to have two hot springs in the manor, I just want to use the hot spring water to experiment with my ideas. "

Zhang Tang laughed and said: "What a strange thought, a very useful thought. Hey, what is this?"

After walking for a while, Zhang Tang saw an empty space with a simple shed and a tall wooden frame erected in it. "

"Oh, this is the cocoon reeling workshop, built by the women themselves, not very good, ready to be renovated in winter."

Zhang Tang nodded, got in and read it again, and then continued to follow Yunlang.

There is an open space in the pine forest. It is the best place to receive the sun from the south to the north. There is a long grass hut on the ground, which requires people to squat down to get in.

Three half-size boys in shorts are busy, one will get into this hut, another will get into another one.

Zhang Tang squatted in front of a hut, looked inward with interest, and saw a kid flexibly flipping the eggs in the grass nest. After turning, he covered the hay again.

"Did you make it?"

Yun Lang shook his head and said: "No less than 500 eggs have been lost. This is a new batch, I hope it will succeed."

Zhang Tang thought for a moment and said: "The official thought your direction was right, as long as you try, you will always find a suitable way.

Such a scourge of eggs can only be caused by large households, but there are several large households in this world who are willing to consume so many eggs for chicken breeding ...

Once it is completed, raising chickens is a job that women and children can do, and they do not know how many people can feed. "

Yun Lang smiled and said: "Once successful, there will be at least too many eggs that can't be eaten!"

"Too many eggs can't be eaten? Hahaha, this is interesting, Yunlang, if the official can one day see such a grand scene that can't be eaten by many eggs, the official is willing to personally be your driver, rush Take a carriage and take you to boast of Chang'an City! "

Yun Lang smiled and said: "This year it will be like this. I will plan the villa well next year. If you come again at this time next year, it will be different.

I am about to have more than 10,000 bundles of silk now. Do you have any good merchants to introduce to me? It is too bad to sell to the official family. "

Zhang Tang looked at the grass sheds used for hatching chickens one by one. Hearing Yunlang's words, he smiled and said: "It's actually not a loss to sell to the official family. Close, you will indeed lose money.

If it is handed over to the official for disposal, these mulberry silks can be sold for more than half of the market price. "

"Barter?"

"This is of course, there is not that much money in the hands of the official."

"Is there a craftsman?"

"you need to?"

"Of course, my family is all women and children. If there are no more artisans to help work, how can I continue to control the farm?"

Tang Zhang touched his chin and thought, "Which way?"

"Everything is successful, do I have room to choose?"

"Want the veteran?"

"Ah? Can I have a sergeant?"

"Yeah, sixteen servants, this is permitted by His Majesty, and it can be matched by your thousand official duties."

"Our soldiers are not ..."

"Some of them can still be retired. There is a group of veterans who have just been shut down from Yanmen. You can select them in advance tomorrow.

I will also go to the craftsman you want, the remaining food, cattle, horses, leather goods, lacquer ware, pig iron, and some bronze exchange, how do you see?

Want you want a singer? "

"Song Ji no, everything else, Niu Ma, pig iron, bronzes should account for at least 60% of the value, if possible, there should be more donkeys, more women and children at home, donkeys are easier to use. Also, there are bricks and tiles I want it too, the more the better. "

Zhang Tang nodded and said, "That's it, let's deliver 7,000 bundles of silk in advance. After the autumn silkworm harvest, we will deliver the remaining 10,000 bundles of silk."

When they came out of the pine forest, the two had already discussed all the exchanges ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ At this time, the weather had dimmed and there was light rain.

Zhang Tang looked at it and couldn't go back, Yun Lang naturally attentively entertained him.

After the meal, Mahjong, Yunlang said, ugly, worm, Liang Weng, and Liu Po ​​have already opened the battlefield.

Curious Zhang Tang and Yun Lang both held a red clay teapot and watched the battle outside.

After watching a few laps, both Ugong Yong and Xiao Chong were pushed off the table and replaced with Yun Lang and Zhang Tang.

Zhang Tang really killed and decisively, and always liked to demolish cards. After two laps, they were killed by Yun Lang and Liu Po.

"Good things are so much more interesting than Go pitching pots, did you make them out?" Although Zhang Tang lost a lot of money, he didn't change his face, and whispered the origin of Yunlang.

Yun Lang smiled and said: "After sunset, there are not many things that Dahan can play. What else can be left besides the wine color?

"It makes sense that this bamboo official is not welcome."

Yun Lang asked Chou Yong to bring an intricate little wooden box with a new set of bamboo cards on the table, and said to Zhang Tang: "I made some at home, you see who else needs it, a pair of good five silver, Tong Seo has no bullies. "

Zhang Tang opened the box, and looked at the delicately crafted bamboo sign inside, and sighed, "If a person like you doesn't make a fortune, it's heaven without eyes."

Yun Lang smiled and said: "They don't buy bamboo cards, but wisdom. The price of good five-two silver is not expensive. I can only earn half a year for this money. After this time, people will make better mahjong tiles. Such as white jade, such as agate, such as ivory.

So, ah, the people who make the big money are actually those who sell my bamboo cards. To be honest, I should have got five or two gold. "
