I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Everyone in the Zhang family sat at the table, there was no distinction between the upper and lower levels, and there was no red tape. The whole family gathered at the card tables in such a lively manner.

Zhang Nuo had already asked Lao Fang to send the wages. Not only the wages, everyone had a confidential bonus red envelope. The red envelope at this moment is really a real red envelope!

Unlike later generations who used a red envelope to fool people, when reward money is distributed during the Chinese New Year, it is really necessary to wrap it with a piece of cloth, otherwise the huge pile of copper coins is really not easy to deal with.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, all the members of the Zhang family, who hadn't slept all night, had a hot breakfast under Zhang Nuo's leadership, and then went back to their respective houses to sleep with their heads covered.

Zhang Nuo also slept until noon and didn't get up until noon. After washing up, he took Lao Fang to visit Zhuangzi.

There are only more than 300 households living in Zhuangzili, but these people have already joined the group, and the workshop will start in the next year, and these people will be able to go to work happily.

Each household of Zhang Nuo prepared ten catties of meat, one hundred catties of rice, and five hundred cash in red envelopes. He originally planned to put more, but was stopped by Lao Fang, who said that it was better to promote rice and fight rice hatred, and it was better not to treat them all at once. Very well said.

After all, judging from the results, just this little thing on hand has really made these dealers in Zhuangzi inexplicably grateful!

In particular, Zhang Nuo thought it was troublesome, and stored all his things directly in his storage space. When he arrived at someone's house, he just waved his hand, and then the scene of meat, rice, and red envelopes falling from the sky was simply jaw-dropping.

These old soldiers are well-informed people who have traveled far and wide, and they have seen jugglers on weekdays, but they are all hiding small things, but who can hide such a large bag of rice on their body?

And it's not just one or two, but Zhang Nuo kept walking one by one, and all the families have the same configuration, which shocked the crowd watching the excitement behind their buttocks.

Zhang Nuo made a big circle and was very satisfied with the result. This was a seed that was planted among the people, and it will slowly take root and sprout in the future.

He also has his own considerations. Everything before was copied from the big state-owned factories of later generations.

He had overlooked one point before, that is, people in later generations know that the country will not fall and love this country, so even if they want to get a little advantage from the country, in fact, there is really nothing to say about their loyalty to the factory.

But it's different now, the factory is all his family's, and he is just a big capitalist to put it bluntly, if he doesn't communicate well and stabilize people's hearts, who knows what will happen to these employees?

Fortunately, people in the Tang Dynasty were simple and simple, and what they pursued was the kindness of dripping water and the spring of gratitude. Zhang Nuo was building a house and preparing for it, especially the canteen with enough white noodles and steamed buns. It was a sharp weapon to win people's hearts. .

Zhang Nuo is also waiting silently. Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, all the soldiers will arrive, and then work hard to build the house first, and then the whole family will move here.

Then the whole Zhuangzi will be different!

Zhang Nuo started working after the Chinese New Year, thinking about how to deal with all this from time to time, and finally racked his brains to figure out some twists and turns, and waited for the staff to arrive and start to implement.

It took a whole half a day, until it was getting dark at dusk, and the master and servant returned to Zhang's residence in a stroll.

Although it's a bit tiring for most of the day today, it's essential. Although it's a bit of a show, for ordinary farmers in the village, it doesn't matter what you think, but his family has benefited, so he will recognize you. affection.

The same is true of Zhang Nuo's thinking. He didn't think that others would sacrifice their lives for him by giving him some rice, flour, grain and oil, and he was not stupid.

It can only be said that this time I made a good start, and after slowly accumulating time and time again, there will always be a day when the relationship will be closer.

Zhang Nuo looked at Lao Fang who was panting beside him and asked with a smile,

"Old Fang, I heard that you and Liu Sanniang have gotten very close recently, how are you doing, have you got it yet?"

Lao Fang was so tossed by Zhang Nuo's sudden question that he almost didn't answer. He glanced at Zhang Nuo resentfully, and then said aggrievedly,

"They're all hard-working people. I thought I'd make do with it and live together, but Liu Sanniang said that I'll wait until Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang get married. The old slave can't say anything, so I can only wait!"

Zhang Nuo kicked Lao Fang's butt angrily, and said bitterly,

"I said, what are you thinking, an old man? You are a very clever person on weekdays, why didn't you understand! Do you really not understand what Liu Sanniang said, or are you pretending not to understand?"

Lao Fang was stunned, what's the matter, didn't he just want to watch his son get married and start a business before thinking about his own affairs, what other meanings are there?

Zhang Nuo is really convinced by this old man. He usually deals with affairs inside and outside the house, which is called a clever and neat man, but when it comes to himself, he is confused. Maybe this is also the reason. It's just that the authorities are confused by the bystanders.

Zhang Nuo sighed deeply, looked at Lao Fang's appearance of Ai Ai, and said seriously,

"Old Fang, think about it, why did Liu Sanniang tell you about the child getting married? Who are you from their family?

Isn't this motherfucker just letting you be the head of the house, and let you talk to Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang!You said that you are usually very clever and individual, why is your brain not working well at this time! "

Lao Fang was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed, he looked like he was going to jump up, looked at Zhang Nuo, Zhang Nuo waved his hand angrily, seeing this, Lao Fang turned around and ran all the way to the small house where Liu Sanniang lived. The house rushed past.

Chapter 153

After the new year, the Zhang Mansion fell into a busy state again after a few days of silence.

The old workshops in Chang'an City will naturally start work. Whether it is students and scholars waiting to buy books, or ordinary people waiting to buy wine, the inside and outside of this place are not the same.

At the same time, the new workshop in Heifengzhai outside the city has transferred a group of people from the old workshop to provide technical guidance, and act as veterans to guide newcomers, which also takes time.

As some old employees moved from the city to outside the city, and received training from Zhang Nuo, they gradually got used to the new equipment, and they were divided. Most of them stayed in the new workshop to guide the employees, and a small number of them were going back to the city. .

At that time, they will serve as the master operators of the new equipment and train the old people.

However, due to the adoption of new equipment in the wine shop and book printing and paper making workshop, the demand for personnel has not increased so much as the output has increased.

At present, after all the strong labor force of these hundreds of families in Zhuangzi have been put into it, they are still doing well.

The biggest change here is that due to the update of equipment, the alcohol purification that originally required secondary distillation has been canceled by Zhang Nuo.

The new type of brewing equipment does not require secondary distillation at all, and can produce liquor with a degree of more than [-] degrees in just one pass, and the rest is just flavoring.

And for the fragrance at this time, because of the existence of the system, there is no need to buy all kinds of spices as before. There are a lot of food-grade flavors that will be used for fragrance in the system that will be used in the future.

Not only the smell and taste are better than the current ones, but also more convenient to store.

At the same time, Zhang Nuo also expanded the product line again, from [-]% low-alcohol wine to [-]% all the way, it is nothing more than the amount of water mixed, it is extremely simple.

And in this way, if the workshop is running at full capacity, it will really be able to trade in the whole country by then!

The same is true for paper-making workshops and book-printing workshops, especially for paper-making workshops. No matter how much you make, you can print books and sell them directly. Rice paper, but the advantage is that it is cheap and has a large quantity.

Everyone knows that the good handmade rice paper sold in those shops is good, but who can afford it all the time.

The paper sold by Zhang Nuo Bookstore is different. Compared with those rice papers that are painful to write on, the paper here is extremely cheap.

He earned five times the profit for a single knife, and it was more than half cheaper than others. If Lao Zhao hadn't stopped him at the beginning, he would have planned to dump it at a low price.

His original idea was to use price wars to kill competitors, and then monopolize the paper business by himself, but after Lao Zhao persuaded him, he realized that this business cannot be monopolized at all.

Because even if his output increased tenfold, it was still not enough to sell, and the government's procurement alone basically wiped out half of his shipments.

The official government is different from the imperial palace. The rice paper used by the nobles in the imperial palace is naturally a high-quality tribute. Anyway, there are only a few people in the palace who can write on paper.

But the government is different. Official documents and archives all need paper, which is a huge amount!

Originally, these businesses had already been ordered by the small officials in charge of procurement in the government. Which one got a share, which one paid a lot, and it hadn't changed for many years.

But when a freak like Zhang Nuo came out, he didn't go to the government at all, and Guangzi Shushengji had already sold out, not to mention there were merchants who bought goods and sold them out.

Originally, the government thought about you, kid. Since you don’t miss us, then we don’t need to miss you. Anyway, you don’t have to pay for it yourself, and you can buy expensive things in the old place, but they can also mix some food and loose money.

The paper of Zhang's Bookstore is cheaper, and the court also saves money, but their small income is gone, so they keep pretending not to know.

But it’s hard to die, Zhang’s bookstore also has a shareholder who took a small share of the "Wu De Law" publishing right, who is the current emperor. Seeing that the memorials sent up have always been high-priced rice paper, he casually asked why Zhang was not used. paper from the bookstore.

He deserved the misfortune of the Ministry of Industry official. He didn’t actually get much money himself, but he was indeed responsible for the undead thing, so he bit the bullet and replied in the court room. The quality difference between the two is too big, but The price is almost the same, so I will continue to use this.

Li Shimin was angry at the time, your uncle, he doesn't know what price other places sell, but as a shareholder of Zhang Shishu, can he not know what price the paper is sold here?

The price difference is doubled, is it still called the difference?

So this poor Ministry of Industry official was dismissed on the spot. If it wasn't for someone's pleading, and it was later found out that the amount involved was not large, otherwise it is estimated that the head would not be saved.

It was also the first time for the ministers in the court to see Li Shimin's horror. The prices of various paper books in Zhang's Bookstore came out of their mouths, and even the prices of several mainstream papers in the market came out casually.

Such a shrewd emperor, which courtier is not worried?

For this reason, even the atmosphere of the court has become more rigorous, which is a surprise to Li Shimin.

Now that His Majesty knows that this kind of paper is easy to use and cheap, the Ministry of Industry will naturally have to come to buy it. As a result, it is the first time that the Ministry of Industry has come across such soft and hard paper.

This is also the first time for Lao Zhao to be so stubborn. The purchase is OK, the money is settled on the spot, and the price is exactly the same as the market. If you like it, you can buy it.

This made the officials who led the team dumbfounded. What kind of identity and background do you come from to open a shop? You are so arrogant.

Don't even talk about commission rebates, and don't even prepare some food?

But Lao Zhao just insisted on these conditions. Anyway, his family has no worries about selling things. If it weren't for the purchase restriction, he could sell as much as he produced on the same day. Nowadays, there are still many caravans from other places waiting to buy from him.

In the end, the Ministry of Industry officials had no choice but to hold their noses and agreed to all the conditions. Turning around, Old Zhao came out with a jar of good wine produced by himself, as if he was not the same person with the stinky face just now.

This is Zhang Nuo's confession. He argues with reason beforehand and calms people's hearts afterwards. In the final analysis, there must be a distinction between primary and secondary when doing business.

But after the fact, you have to make good friends. The so-called King of Hades is better than a little devil, so long-term business needs to be well managed, although Zhang's Bookstore is not worried about sales for the time being.

But people without long-term considerations must have near-term worries. It will be too late to ask for help when the production volume is up. It is better to set the tone now and send it directly to the government in the future. How comfortable it is.

After hearing this, Lao Zhao was astonished. It is rare for someone to explain the way of doing business so clearly. Lao Zhao listened to Zhang Nuo's words as wise words, so he made such a play.

Chapter 154

Now that the new workshop in Zhuangzi is about to start, the school grounds must also be properly maintained.

This is a large open space that Zhang Nuo had prepared in advance. Because there was no need to build a house, many things were simply done. Although Zhang Nuo didn't know how to march and fight, he couldn't help but know a lot.

So, after Qin Qiong was in place two years later, Zhang Nuo just opened his mouth, and the sergeants were responsible for the work, and a large armed cross-country school was established.

When Yuchi Laohei and Cheng Yaojin came to the school grounds, it happened to be the time when the school grounds were about to be put into use!

They came with their sergeants, all of whom were veterans of many battles. They first set up tents to live in for a few days, and then took over their families after the house was built.

As a result, as soon as I came to see this school, everyone's eyes lit up, mother, there is a university question in it.

Especially Yu Chigong, this is a pure general, he knows that he doesn't have Cheng Yaojin's exquisite mind, nor Qin Qiong's far-sighted vision, so he is only willing to hang around in the army, thinking about getting fame immediately.

Now seeing such a place that is obviously a training place, he is the one who is most excited.

He leaned close to the muddy Zhang Nuo, cupped his hands, and asked with a smile,

"Head of the house, what are you doing? Tell someone about it, and I feel that there is knowledge in it!"

Although Qin Qiong has been busy here for several days, leading the sergeants to prepare the field and ordnance, but he only knows that this thing is used for military training, but he doesn't know how to use it. Seeing Yuchi Laohei, he couldn't help asking, He hurriedly pulled Cheng Yaojin over together.

Zhang Nuo was directing people to get those wooden stakes. When he saw these three people coming over, he just had a rest and sat down on the wooden stake next to him. Looking at the three people winking in front of him, he said,

"There is indeed knowledge here. You are all battle-tested, so you should know that in the final analysis, fighting on the battlefield, in the end, the bottom-level soldiers are nothing more than whoever is strong, well-equipped, and runs fast, and will win."

"Looking at the entire battlefield, if all our soldiers run faster, are stronger, and have sharper swords than the opponent, then basically we can win a crushing situation."

"To achieve this goal, you can only rely on two points. One is to have enough food. If you don't eat enough, you will be in poor health. It is useless to say anything about poor health. The other is to practice to death. This is the training place I arranged. .”

Zhang Nuo's words are extremely crude, but the three generals can't stop nodding their heads because of such plain language. It's a war, isn't it because I killed your group and you killed my group? Well.

If our side kills a large number of the enemy first, then our side will win, and on the contrary, it will be the enemy's victory. As for the strategy and the like, it is actually an external matter.

At the end of the war, no matter how you calculate, you hope to form a situation where the more fight the less, and the strong fight the weak. If you are stronger than the opponent from the beginning, then what are you talking about? Naturally, you will be crushed all the way That's the kingly way.

Zhang Nuo pointed to a large school field in front of him and said,

"This school field does not seem to be big, but it actually includes most of the terrain, including charging, siege, climbing walls, and crossing ditches.

As long as the soldiers get used to running on this school field, it will be trivial to encounter any terrain when they go out to fight in the future! "

As soon as Zhang Nuo said this, Yu Chigong was the first to react, and looked at the simple wooden wall in front of him in horror, he didn't realize it before, but now that he said this, he reacted.

He said how to put such a high wooden wall here, and throw a few ropes from the top. It turns out that this is the method of hooking the claws and ropes on the wall to break through the city when simulating a siege!

Looking at the low wall next to him again, Zhang Nuo didn't need to say anything at the moment, he directly pointed at the low wall excitedly and said,

"Master, that wall is the low wall in the camp, is it for the soldiers to practice climbing over the wall?"

Zhang Nuo nodded with a smile. It seems that these veterans still have a little bit of insight.

Qin Qiong, on the other hand, looked at the whole venue with a look of surprise. Before that, he wondered why this thing was used, but now that Zhang Nuo woke him up, he saw these things in a completely different way.

He originally thought that the ladder in the air was misplaced, but at this moment, he saw that it was a scene of running up the city wall during the siege with a ladder.

And the rope nets and wooden stakes, aren't they just the horse-rejecting stakes in front of the camp?

Cheng Yaojin was also completely excited. This is simply a magic weapon for training soldiers. With this kind of thing, these soldiers in the army can practice a good ability to attack the city before they leave the camp. Then they will go to Korea in the future and attack the city. Didn't pulling out the stronghold do it casually?

Old Monster Cheng is completely excited now, and he is becoming more and more optimistic about the future of the Black Wind Village!

Originally a veteran of hundreds of battles, after such a drill, what credits will not be obtained in the future?

After Yuchi Gong finished being surprised, he saw Zhang Nuo sitting there with a smile on his face, so he hurried over and asked,

"The head of the family, is there any other way to train soldiers? Seeing that this school field can't let all the sergeants go, and the head of the house looks calm, I'm afraid there are other ways?"

As soon as Yu Chigong said this, Zhang Nuo's eyes lit up, and he joked with a smile,

"I didn't expect that, Yuchi, you are so thick and thick, but you are still as careful as a hair!"

Being praised by Zhang Nuo, Yu Chigong's old face immediately turned red. He is the least talkative on weekdays. He is not as generous as Cheng Yaojin, who speaks everything out, nor is he as sharp as Qin Qiong, who has something to say. .

It really piqued his interest today, so I read more and wanted to say a few more words, but I didn't expect to be praised by the master.
