One Piece of Song Dynasty

"Uncle An, from now on our family will start to collect grain. Buy more grain and save it. The same goes for farm tools and weapons. In addition to the home-made ones, buy as much as you can and save everything after you buy it..shung"

"Yes, Young Master, I wonder what the Young Master is doing with so many things." The housekeeper said a little uneasily.

"Uncle An, don't worry, I won't do anything stupid. These things will be of great use to me in a few months, and you will know then."

"Okay, Young Master, a certain family knows about it. A certain family just hopes that our family can be safe and sound, and hope that the Young Master will not do anything wrong." The housekeeper sighed.

"Don't worry, Uncle An, I won't do anything wrong. Besides, I haven't lived enough yet. I've made so much money and I haven't enjoyed it yet." Uncle An must have thought that I was going to rebel or something and wanted to kill me. It's the boss's business, but I do want to do it, but not now. Rebellion now is a fool, just looking for death. When I came to the Song Dynasty, I haven't enjoyed the feeling of three wives and four concubines, and I haven't saved my Chinese people yet. , go die now, this is not a joke.

"Yes, sir, then the certain family will be relieved."

"Uncle An, what happened to the ship our family ordered from a shipyard elsewhere?"

"The first batch of four ships has been built and delivered, and the second batch of six ships is under construction. It will be completed in three months."

"Then order six more ships, three blessing ships with a load of four thousand stone and three sand ships with a load of six thousand stone."

"Yes, sir, a certain family knows."

"Uncle An, that means we have eight ships available now, four of which we built ourselves and four of which we bought."

"Yes."

"Then the recruitment of sailors must be faster. Both the workshop manpower and the sailors must be speeded up, otherwise it will be bad if there is no one to use the ship."

"Sir, a certain family knows."

"Well, Uncle An, please go back and make arrangements for moving first. Moving is the top priority now."

"Okay, then the young master's family will leave first."

In a few months, my fleet will have two blessing ships with a load of one thousand stone, two ships with a load of two thousand stone, five ships with a load of two thousand stone, three ships with a load of four thousand stone, and six ships with a load of four thousand stone. , six sand ships carrying six thousand stones.

In the Song Dynasty, one thousand stones was equal to approximately one hundred tons. I plan to use the lucky ships to carry people, and the sand ships to carry various supplies. Excluding the necessary sailors, the thirteen lucky ships can still carry a population of about . If I want to It is not enough to establish a foothold on the island with a population of at one time. After all, there are still savages on the island. It takes at least to people to establish a foothold on the island at one time. It also needs some armed guards. It seems that the fleet It needs to be expanded further.

Based on this calculation, the time of landing on the island has to be postponed. It is now the eighth year of Zhenghe, which is February AD. I originally planned to land on the island in the second half of the eighth year of Zhenghe, but now it seems that I have to postpone it to the first year of Zhenghe. Spring begins in AD, so it’s good to be more prepared.

The wheel of history is rolling forward, and my little butterfly has not yet allowed history to deviate from its predetermined track. Now the imperial court should have begun to plot to unite with Jin to destroy Liao, and Wuyi doctor Ma Zheng should be preparing to secretly go to Dajin to conspire with Wanyan Aguda. It's just that they didn't know how ferocious a hungry wolf they had attracted.

A month later, the housekeeper came over and told me that the house had been moved.

"Uncle An, has the house been sorted out?"

"Yes, everything is packed."

"There's nothing left over in Nan'an."

"No, they're all sold."

"Well, how is the situation in the house during this period?"

"Although the house has been busy with moving during this period, other things have not stopped. In terms of manpower, the nursing team has increased by 30 people, the cook has increased by 5 people, the orphans have increased by 15, 4 women and 11 men, and the shipwright has increased We have 10 more people, 3 more carpenters, 2 more blacksmiths, 40 more sailors, and 30 more men are waiting to be allocated."

"Okay, out of the 30 men, 10 will go to be apprentices to pigeon breeders. From now on, every local restaurant will have one who knows how to raise pigeons, 3 will go to the carpenters, 3 to the blacksmiths, 2 to the stablemen, 8 One will go to the workshop as an apprentice, four will go to the restaurant, and the last two will go to Tianhu Mountain as supervisors."

"Okay, Young Master's family knows about it."

"Well, Hui'an's restaurants and shops have all opened."

"Well, it just opened a few days ago."

"Are all our five restaurants open for business now?"

"Yes, talking about restaurants, this is the profit of restaurants and shops in more than a month. Not counting the restaurants in Hui'an, the net profit of the four restaurants in this month is 280000 yuan; of course, the profit of restaurants in Tokyo is so low because the young master promised Gao Ping to use it Working with 60000% of the profit, even if the profit was 300% less, Tokyo Restaurant still made a profit of 600 yuan; 85000 new gold card members were added, earning million yuan; new silver card members were added, and the profit was million yuan. The money is million guan, and most of the new members are from Tokyo and Huai'an. The five shops have made a net profit of guan this month."

"Well, Uncle An, I plan to open another restaurant in Jinan Mansion. The manager of Jinan Mansion should be sent from Quanzhou Restaurant. Please ask him to come over before he leaves. I have something to talk to him alone." Why are you here? The reason why Jinan Mansion opened a restaurant was of course because of Guan Sheng. Historically, Guan Sheng was killed by the puppet Qi Liu Yu in Jinan. Guan Sheng was also a good general who fought against the Jin Dynasty, so I had to save him.

"Okay, someone knows."

"Uncle An, go to the private shipyard and order eight more ships, six lucky ships with a load of shi, and two sand ships with a load of shi."

"Well, why did you buy so many ships? Even if you are doing sea trade, you won't need so many ships."

"Of course when buying a ship, you have to go to sea. The bigger the fleet is, the better. This will make it less likely to be attacked by pirates."

"Okay, a certain family knows about it. When will our fleet go to sea?" The steward looked at me suspiciously and said.

"Probably next spring, I'll let you know then that a lot of preparations have to be made."

"Well, okay, by the way, the young master had better pay attention to safety during this period and stay out of the county office. I heard rumors in the Jianghu that someone is trying to take advantage of the young master. It seems that the young master's actions last time angered some people. Because the young master is now a member of Grand Master Cai, and has a connection with the emperor through tribute, they dare not attack the young master openly, and can only attack him secretly."

"Okay, I understand. Is this news reliable? Forget it, it doesn't matter whether it is reliable or not. I'd rather believe it than not."

"Well, sir, you have too few guards around you, only five people, which is far from enough. Please call in more people from the military camp or the nursing team."

"Well, but the nursing team can't move, and the nursing team has recently stepped up patrols of the workshop. Since they have spread the word that they want to attack me, they may be trying to attack the east and west to focus all our attention on me. They are interested in making a workshop, after all, the temptation of tribute is not small, no matter what plan they use, we have to be prepared, I will transfer a group of people from the Xiang Barracks to the county government."

"Okay, someone will arrange the workshop."
