One Piece of Song Dynasty

In this way, Zhai Jin took thousands of tribesmen and walked for a month and a half before reaching Hui'an. After Li Xin learned that Zhai Jin's migration team was about to arrive in Hui'an, he took Liu Fa and returned to Hui'an with the boat to prepare to personally welcome Zhai Jin and his tribe. 's arrival

When Li Xin got off the ship, she said to Ruan Xiaowu: "Fifth brother, this time the ship will not transport goods, but only people."

Ruan Xiaowu replied: "Yes, brother, I know."

Now Ruan Xiaowu's fleet is even larger. In addition to the eight blessing ships left on Xinghan Island, Ruan Xiaowu's fleet has ships. Such a huge fleet will definitely not be used to transport hundreds of people at a time. There were only one lucky boat, so the extra boats were all loaded with supplies. However, because there were so many people transported this time, Li Xin asked Ruan Xiaowu to empty all the lucky boats.

Ruan Xiaowu's fleet will become larger and larger in the future. The forty ships ordered by Li Xin twice at the shipyard have not yet arrived. In order to command such a large fleet, Li Xin and the three Ruan brothers compiled He made a set of semaphores. Of course, with the advent of glass, monocular telescopes were also indispensable. However, Li Xin did not make that many telescopes, and it was not enough to reach one for each ship, so Li Xin gave Ruan Xiaowu twenty The telescope asked him to distribute it, and Li Xin kept four in his hand. This time Li Xin planned to give three to Liu Fa, Zhai Jin and other infantry generals.

After getting off the ship, Li Xin first went to the house to find the housekeeper. Thousands of people came at once this time, and all materials had to be prepared.

Li Xin found the housekeeper and said: "Uncle An, General Zhai has brought thousands of people this time, and all materials must be prepared. Although they will only stay for a day or two before leaving, they cannot be treated badly in terms of food and accommodation. ”

The butler cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Sir, please relax. A certain family has already started preparations after receiving the news and will entertain them well."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Well, how have the sales of glass products been in the past two months?"

The butler replied: "Let me tell you about the situation of the restaurant first. In the past two months, our restaurants have made a net profit of million yuan. There are new gold card members, and we have earned yuan." million guan, new silver card members were added, and the money was million guan."

Li Xin asked: "What about the shops?" Li Xin was very concerned about the sales of glass products, which was related to money.

The housekeeper said unhurriedly: "Due to the increase in glass products, we sold less. The seven shops sold sets of glass products and glass mirrors in two months. Counting the profits from other goods, In the past two months, the seven shops made a total profit of yuan."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Well, we can slowly increase the number of glass products sold in the future, but we cannot let others think that it is easy for us to obtain these glass products."

The housekeeper replied: "Yes, Mr. Lang, a certain family knows."

Li Xin continued: "Uncle An, my next step is to open restaurants in Jizhou, Hengzhou, Yizhou, and Bazhou. 35xs"

The housekeeper nodded and said: "Okay, a certain family knows."

Li Xin thought for a while and then said: "Uncle An will go to the shipyard to order thirty ships, twelve sand ships with a load of six thousand stone and eighteen blessing ships with a load of four thousand stone."

The steward replied: "Yes, Mr. Lang, I understand."

After discussing various matters with the housekeeper, Li Xin went back to the house to sleep.

Three days later, Li Xin pushed Liu Fa to welcome Zhai Jin's migration team outside the house.

Zhai Jin got off his horse and knelt down and said, "My lord, General Liu, a certain family is here."

Li Xin stepped forward to help Zhai Jin up and said: "General Zhai, please get up quickly. I have obtained another tiger general. General Zhai will still work under General Liu in the future."

Zhai Jin stood up and said: "Yes, my lord, a certain family obeys your order."

Li Xin saw a young and burly man beside Zhai Jin and asked: "General Zhai, who is this?"

Zhai Jin introduced: "My lord, this is the dog Zhai Liang."

Zhai Jin immediately said to Zhai Liang: "Liang'er, quickly pay homage to the Lord and General Liu."

Zhai Liang looked at Zhai Jin suspiciously but still came forward and knelt down and said: "I have met my lord, I have met General Liu."

Li Xin helped Zhai Liang up and said: "Young gentleman, please get up quickly. There is no need to be so polite."

Li Xin turned around and asked, "I wonder how many tribesmen General Zhai will bring this time?"

Zhai Jin replied: "There are about five thousand people, including five hundred craftsmen of various types."

Li Xin said happily: "Okay, General Zhai has solved my urgent need. I am short of craftsmen. General Zhai, please come into the house. Your tribe will settle down easily. I have already prepared wine and food in the house." , just waiting for General Zhai."

Zhai Jin cupped his fists and said, "Yes, my lord, General Liu will invite you first."

Li Xin pushed Liu Fa into the mansion with Zhai Jin and others. The welcome banquet lasted for half an hour, and everyone chatted happily during the banquet.

Zhai Jin raised his glass and said, "My lord, General Liu, I would like to offer you a glass of wine first." After that, Zhai Jin drank it all.

Li Xin shouted: "Okay, with the help of General Zhai today, a certain family is more powerful than a tiger. I would like to offer a drink to General Zhai." After saying that, Li Xin drank it all in one gulp.

When Liu Fa saw them both drinking down their glasses, he raised his glass and said, "A certain family would also like to toast you two. I hope we can revive our Han family in our lifetime." After that, Liu Fa also drank down his glass.

After Zhai Jin sat down, he asked: "My lord, how do you plan to settle down the clan of a certain family?"

Li Xin said: "Have a day's rest tomorrow and set off all to Xinghan Island the day after tomorrow. The tribesmen you brought will be treated the same as other people on the island. Every ordinary farmer has thirty acres of land or two shops. Each household of registered craftsmen has fifty acres of land or three shops, and Confucian scholars have fifty acres of land or three shops each. Each household that chooses land will be given thirty taels of silver to settle down, and no fees will be charged for the first three years of land reclamation. Tax, a % tax will be charged starting from the fourth year; goods will be provided free of charge in the first year of choosing a store, and charges will begin in the second year. As for the tax, a tax of % of the sales volume will be collected every month."

Zhai Jin nodded and said: "Yes, lord, a certain family knows."

After the banquet, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

After Zhai Jin and his son Zhai Liang entered the house, they closed the door.

Zhai Jin didn't wait for Zhai Liang to ask and said: "The certain family knows that you have many questions in your heart. The certain family will tell you now that the certain family is now a rebel. That Mr. Li is the lord of the certain family and will also be your lord in the future. , that General Liu with broken legs was Liu Jinglue, a former Shangguan of a certain family in the Western Army."

Zhai Liang was shocked. Although he had guessed something through previous conversations, he did not expect that the matter would be so serious.

Zhai Liang asked: "Why did my father rebel? And isn't Liu Jinglue already dead? Why is he still alive? He also became a rebel."

Zhai Jin sighed: "This is my father's choice. As for why you will understand later, Liu Jinglue is not actually dead. He was rescued from the battlefield by his lord. The rumors outside are that our lord sent people to An illusion created on the battlefield."
