Chapter 120 Hou Yong’s evil thoughts
Back at home, Qin Mo replied to Chai Jinglan's letter, and then came to Qinzhuang.
Looking at the greenhouses in Lianqian, Qin Mo felt a little emotional. What started out as a few hundred acres of vegetable land has now expanded to thousands of acres.
These thousands of acres of vegetable land can bring millions of taels of profit to Qin Mo this winter.
But if you want to change the current situation of Daqian, it is far from a vegetable shed that can solve it.
Cotton, potatoes, sweet potatoes.
These three things can bring Daqian's national strength to a higher level within two or three years.
Not to mention getting rid of poverty, at least we can get rid of hunger and cold.
This parallel time and space is basically the same as his previous life. He believes that these three things must exist in this world, but no one has discovered them yet.
Qin Mo was inspecting the vegetable fields, and people in Qinzhuang greeted him one after another.
The original earthen kiln burned firewood, but now it burns briquettes. The firepower is balanced and can be controlled by baffles.
There is even extra firepower to feed the Night Watch.
In this way, it won't be too cold for them to stay here in the winter. A bottle, three bowls, and a stack of peanuts will make them feel more comfortable than at home.
"Uncle Liugen, how many stoves have you made now?" Qin Mo asked.
"Master, we can probably make a thousand stoves a day now, which is the limit." Yang Liugen said.
"Too few. That's only [-] stoves a month. There are hundreds of thousands of households in the capital. We can't satisfy everyone this winter. Let the victims also join in. We need young people with nimble hands and feet to complete the hemming. That’s it, if they don’t know the core technology, they will never learn it!”
Qin Mo knew that the reason for the slow speed was mainly technology. Under the leadership of Qin Mo, the people of Qinzhuang had conquered some technologies. These technologies were the reason why the sales of fireplaces were so popular.
They couldn't learn it even if they wanted to. Even if they could manually knock the iron block into pieces, it would be extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming.
And they have assembly line production here. If they produce at full capacity, it will not be a problem to produce thousands of stoves a day.
Briquettes are easy to imitate, but stoves are difficult to imitate.
"Yes, Master!"
"There are only a thousand households in Qinzhuang, and there are still too few people. Find a way to attract some young people!"
"But young master, the people of Qinzhuang are all"
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Mo interrupted him, "I understand that if Qinzhuang wants to make progress, it needs more fresh blood. We can seize the core and let them produce unimportant things. Find them on Qinzhuang's territory." A piece of land is divided, and as long as we have people with certain skills and pass the assessment, we will build houses and give them a chance to settle down and live!"
Yang Liugen was silent for a long time, and finally nodded. Qin Zhuang said it was big or small, and the people in Qin Zhuang had followed the father-in-law from birth to death, so they were very loyal.
He is always afraid of outsiders with ulterior motives.
But Qin Mo insisted and he didn't say anything else.
"By the way, Uncle Liugen, we have a winter hunt in two days and I have to lead a horse for my father-in-law. Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
Yang Liugen was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "Master, do you want to lead the horse for His Majesty?"
Qin Mo nodded.
Yang Liugen was overjoyed and said immediately: "This is a great honor. People who are not close to you are not allowed to lead the horse. But young master, you must be more cautious when the time comes and follow His Majesty closely." He Yang Liugen talked a lot, just to make Qin Mo take it more seriously.
Qin Mo said: "Uncle Liugen, when the time comes, you will also come with me and choose a few people to follow me!"
"Yes, Master!"
Qin Mo turned around and said: "Continue to expand the greenhouse, the weather is getting colder and colder, and everyone's demand for vegetables is greater.
Also, we are putting briquettes on the agenda after the winter hunt! "
After the explanation, Qin Mo returned to the house.
I kept chatting with Chai Jinglan until late at night.
It was snowing heavily, and Qin Mo didn't go out for two days. He stayed in his room and wrote something, and no one else knew what he was writing.
But Xiao Liuzi was next day, in the box of Qin's Haidilao.
Hou Yong finally found a 'scalper' to line up and got into Qin's Haidilao.
Li Jingya, the princess of Qinghe County, asked: "Hou Yong, why haven't Gongsun Chong and Du Youwei come yet?"
A trace of nervousness flashed in Hou Yong's eyes, "Oh, they are on their way here. Let's eat first. Qin's Haidilao business is so booming. In order to grab a seat, I came here before dawn and queued up."
Li Jingya was a little surprised. She knew that Hou Yong and Qin Mo didn't get along, so why would she come to Qin's Haidilao to eat?
However, this is not the first time she has come to Qin's Haidilao. She has been here with her father before.
The food here is really delicious. After eating it, she can't eat the food at home.
Also, the various dim sum here are really delicious.
The most important thing is that sometimes Qin Mo will come in to toast.
Qin Mo happened to come in that day to toast.
For some reason, she now thinks of Qin Mo every now and then. She always finds Qin Mo very interesting, completely different from the distinguished people she knows.
Will Qin Mo come to toast today?
I heard from my father that Qin Mo will lead a horse for His Majesty during the winter hunting in a few days.
"By the way, are you going to go hunting in the winter in a few days?" Li Jingya asked.
"Yes, I will go with the prince when the time comes!"
Hou Yong's face was filled with pride, "Are you going?"
"I should, my dad will go there too!"
Li Jingya thought about it and found out that she had gone on all the winter hunts in previous years and even hunted a lot of prey.
Winter hunting is not only for worshiping heaven and praying for blessings, but also for eliminating harmful things.
The winter is so harsh that people don’t have enough to eat, let alone the beasts in the mountains.
Every year, wild beasts from the mountains come down to eat people, so hunting in winter is also to eliminate pests.
"When the time comes, let's be together!"
Hou Yong smiled and poured wine for Li Jingya, "Try it, this is a Shao Knife, just one cup costs a hundred taels!"
"This wine is too strong, I will get drunk!"
"I'll take you back when you're drunk."
Hou Yong laughed.
Li Jingya took a small sip and felt as if her mouth was filled with fire, "Ah, it's too spicy, I can't drink it!"
The way she stuck out her tongue to fan the wind was so cute. Hou Yong swallowed his saliva, and the evil thoughts in his heart were ready to stir up.
"Come on, I'll give you a toast!"
Hou Yong picked up the wine glass and said, "You must drink Shao Dao Zi in one mouthful. Although it is spicy, it will be very comfortable afterward. If you don't believe me, try it!"
"No, it's too spicy!"
"Try it, you will definitely fall in love with this feeling."
Hou Yong encouraged.
Li Jingya hesitated, but under Hou Yong's repeated encouragement, she pinched her nose and drank the Shaodaozi in the cup.
At that moment, his face turned red, and he felt like he had swallowed a mouthful of fire.
Her head was also a little dizzy, and before she could recover, Hou Yong poured her another glass, "Go on, take a sip!"
