From mentioning AK47 to farming in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 65 The Zhen family, guiding the plan

"Villa Master, the Zhen family in Wuji County, Zhongshan County, sent their servants to throw stabs. Would you like to have a look?"

Outside the study, Wang Cui knocked on the door, holding a "throwing stab" in his hand.

The moment he saw the stabbing, Zhao Tai was in a daze, as if he had never used this thing before.

"On the case, it's not too late to see it later."

Zhao Tai is writing something. No matter what you want to do about the Zhen family, you have to wait until he is finished.

Throwing thorns, that is, made of a piece of wood or bamboo, is equivalent to the business card of later generations.

It has the visitor's name, place of origin, official position, etc. written on it, and of course there will be some stereotypes.

To be honest, if Zhao Tai hadn't seen the stabbing today, he wouldn't have remembered it.

Because he hadn't used it before, every time Zhao Yun came to him, it was either because of an emergency, or because the manor wasn't finished, so it wasn't suitable for visiting and he chose to come directly.

Suddenly thinking of this etiquette reminded him of the time when he went to the county government.

But if you think about it carefully, there's nothing wrong with it. It's going to the county government, not Fang Run's house. It's not rude not to send it to the assassination first.

Zhao Tai asked Wang Cui to put it down and look at it later, but Wang Cui didn't move.

"What else?"

"Master, the servants of the Zhen family are still waiting outside the manor, and they can only leave after the owner's reply."

Domestic servants have no human rights. If Zhao Tai's reply is not brought back, the assassin will think that Zhao Tai looks down on him.

Or you will feel that the servant has offended the person who wants to visit, and the ending can be imagined.

Not everyone is like Zhao Tai, at least treat people as people.

Zhao Tai put down his pen, picked up the wood chips and started reading.

People from Wuji County, Zhongshan County
Zhen Yao, courtesy name Gao Jin
In addition to this, there is a line of greetings, Zhao Tai glanced at it and skipped it.

"Respond to the servant, Tai welcomes Zhen Gaojin to the village."

"Here."

Wang Cui exited the study and conveyed Zhao Tai's words to the servant.

"Zhen Yao."

Zhao Tai read a sentence softly, he didn't have much impression of this person who had never met but knew his name.

He only knew that Zhen Yao was the second son of the current head of the Zhen family. Now that he had been promoted to be filial and honest, he seemed to be trembling about becoming an official.

The reason why I don't have much impression is because there are very few records of Zhen Yao, including the records of Zhen's family.

The most famous one is Zhen Mi, but Zhao Tai has no extra thoughts.

It's not that he doesn't want to see what this world-famous beauty looks like, but that Zhen Mi is too young now.

Now it is the end of the first year of Zhongping (the end of 184), and it is said that Zhen Mi is just a child who is only two years old.

Only when Zhao Tai lost his mind and went crazy would he expect anything from a two-year-old child.

Since his goal from the beginning was the Zhen family, it is impossible for Zhao Tai not to study the Zhen family.

Don't think that the Zhen family is a wealthy businessman in the Han Dynasty, just think that the Zhen family is really a merchant class.

In fact, the Zhen family is a family of Zheng Miao Hong, and the family inherited an official position with a salary of two thousand stones. When Zhen Yi was at his highest, he was a Shang Cailing.

That is to say, the county magistrate of a county, who would dare to treat the Zhen family as a businessman with a hereditary official position.

Except that the second son, Zhen Yao, was filial and honest, and Zhen Yi could take over the hereditary official post upon death.

He also has a second son who will also promote Xiaolian in the future, and he will be appointed as a general, and he will be the head of Quliang.

Even working under He Jin, he also became a county magistrate after leaving He Jin. Because the population in charge of him was less than [-] households, he was called Qu Liang Chang, not Qu Liang Ling.

[-] households and above is the decree, and below [-] households is the head.

If you can get on line with General He Jin later, you said that the Zhen family's status is low, and you are afraid that you will be beaten to death.

As for his eldest son, he was gone, otherwise the hereditary official position would not have fallen to the second son, Zhen Yao.

The reason why Zhao Tai focused on the Zhen family was not only because of the proximity, but also because of the identity of the Zhen family.

In comparison, the Mi family is also a top wealthy businessman, but now they are exhausted for a chance to advance.

Moreover, Zhao Tai didn't see the Mi family either. Changshan, Zhongshan and other counties that were close to each other couldn't get in.

Now that Zhen Yao sent people here to cast assassins, he was obviously interested in the spice business.

As long as he negotiates a good deal with the Zhen family, Zhao Tai can get what he wants.

Zhen Yao's visit played into Zhao Tai's wish. He originally thought it would take a few days for someone to come from the Zhen family, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

It's right to think about it. The sale of such a large amount of spices is bound to have an impact on the market.

For the Zhen family to become a wealthy merchant in the Han Dynasty, it was inevitable that they would have business in this area.

Business is everywhere, that is a natural intelligence system, and when it is profitable, it is difficult to keep the Zhen family from looking for them.

Putting Zhen Yao's matter aside, anyway, if you rush from Zhongshan to Zhending, you can't get there within two days.

Zhao Tai held the pen and continued to record in the notebook. What he wrote was papermaking.

Paper has always existed, and it appeared in the first year of Yuanxing (105 AD). It has been 184 years in this world, and it has a history of 79 years.

That is Caihou paper, which is inexpensive and simple to make.

The reason why even today, even in the Three Kingdoms period, bamboo slips and cloth are still used.

It's just because it hasn't become popular, otherwise paper would have been used long ago, and it's Caihou paper that can write and won't get glued together.

What Zhao Tai did was to modify the papermaking process so that it could be used.

So the spices are not enough. Before the salt and iron can't be taken out, he needs to use paper to harvest again.

I believe that aristocratic families, scholars, and powerful people all over the world will like this thing very much.

He wants to start taking the route of self-sufficiency instead of choosing to move all the time.

Just like bows and arrows, lime, rice cloth, and even cement, they are all moving towards their own production routes.

The second is the management of the farmers. Zhao Tai decided to set up household registration for them, that is, to establish his own household department.

It is foreseeable that under his guidance, refugees will continue to add to his power one after another.

Once the population increases, it must be managed. As for the candidates for the household department, of course, they are transferred from the existing literate people.

Let Wang Cui be in charge first, and then change when there is a suitable candidate.

And the situation of the big pot of rice will also change.

Zhao Tai planned to reduce the daily ration from one half catty per person to three taels. (16 taels per catty in the Han Dynasty)

The remaining rations need to be exchanged for work, and the more you work, the more you get.

It is equivalent to using work as a substitute for relief, which is a long-term non-stop.

Zhao Tai has too many things to do, expand the city, build kilns, burn bricks, make tiles, build roads, make bows, open up wasteland, build houses, and even dig mines, burn lime, make paper, and burn charcoal.

Both require a lot of manpower and material resources. People have bad habits, and things that are free will not be cherished after a long time.

On the contrary, things obtained with labor wisdom will be known to be rare. Zhao Tai has raised them for so long, and now there are signs of not working hard.

Zhao Tai wants to kill this kind of signs. If someone does not accept this method, then continue to be a refugee.

At the same time, Zhao Tai also needs to change the salary issue of his soldiers and personnel of various ministries, that is, salary.

Serving as a soldier eats food, and serving as an official gets a salary. This is an iron-clad principle.

It's not that Zhao Tai can't afford to support everyone in the power, but he wants to support them in a different way.

Let the whole force run completely and "live".

However, he did not release any of these, and everything had to be negotiated with the Zhen family, and the arrangements would be made after refugees from other places arrived.

In addition to these, Zhao Tai also sent 100 soldiers to break up into other counties near Heishan.

Carry out what Zhao Taimei called the guidance plan.

How could Lingshou County alone satisfy his appetite.

He wanted more, enough to fill the entire Montenegrin Mountains.
