When attacked and worn as a farmer's daughter-in-law

The reason why the local merchants in Linshan County agreed to cooperate with the Shen family so easily was that they were not shocked by the blueprint for the future given by Fang Tianlin.

After finishing his business with the caravan, Fang Tianlin returned to Huanggu and began to recruit guards for the entire Huanggu.Now the southwestern border area is not peaceful, and other places are not much better. The situation is so chaotic, we must have the power to protect ourselves. More than 200 guards, although they are all elite, can easily be used as five or ten, but the number is too small after all. If there is an invasion of foreign enemies, this manpower is not enough to defend the city, let alone encounter in the wild.

Of course, Huanggu is an exception. There are not many places that need to be guarded. These guards should be barely enough, but Linshan County is not enough. There are no thousands of people who may not be able to take care of them.

Regardless of the fact that the local partners have not changed at all, if the Shen family's force is insufficient, they may turn against customers every minute.Fang Tianlin didn't intend to do things that would test people's hearts. Since everyone is cooperating happily, he should keep it like this and not give them the slightest chance of betrayal. To do this, the Shen family's forceful deterrence is indispensable.

With money in hand, Fang Tianlin put his mind on military and biomedical technology.This time, he no longer immerses himself in the study and laboratory all day, trains guards for half a day, studies knowledge for half a day, and at the same time gives lectures to the academy masters and outstanding students every now and then, living a very fulfilling life.

It is not easy to open up the commercial road from Linshan County to Yanzhou City, and it is even more difficult to maintain it. Fang Tianlin’s batch of compressed military rations that are not profitable at all is not given for nothing. Although he didn’t say anything, let alone make any demands, Mr. Su received After this batch of goods, not to mention the new batch of high-quality grain entering the warehouse, the batch of compressed military rations given by the Shen family made him make up his mind to send more people to protect the safety of the business road, and ensure the smooth flow of the business road.

This matter cannot be done by Mr. Su alone, he must unite with the Quartet, and the first person to win over is his colleague, General Gao, who is also the general stationed at the border.On weekdays, civil and military affairs have nothing to do with each other. The local government and the army do not interfere with the well water. In wartime, most of the discourse power is in the hands of the generals. As long as the two military forces at the pass can reach an agreement and there is no infighting, the state capitals along the commercial road can be forced to Officials bowed their heads.

Mr. Su lamented that the timing of the Shen family's arrival was just a coincidence. In peaceful days, the troops could not be moved easily, and here is the border gate. How could it be so easy for the yamen from all over the country to cooperate so easily? It would be good if you didn't give him a copy. How could it be so easy to talk like now?

After thinking for a while, Mr. Su took a pen and wrote a letter, sealed it with wax paint, sent someone to deliver the letter to General Gao, and at the same time brought him some good things from the Shen family.Once the commercial way is used and the reputation of the Shen family's goods spreads, General Gao will definitely know about it.Even if there is no rumor about the compressed military rations, and the source is well protected, it doesn't mean that after the rations are distributed to the subordinates, there will be no leaks.

Originally, the secrecy time should have been longer, but unfortunately, the existence of business and the actions of the Shen family made Mr. Su have to share these with General Gao in advance, so as to save the old boy from having knots in his heart and causing conflicts, and this matter would be troublesome Well, who let the business road have a long way in the state capital where he is stationed, it is really cheap for him.

General Gao looked at the letters and items that Mr. Su sent quickly, and his expression changed drastically. He slapped the table so loudly that he almost jumped up: "Well, you, Marquis Su, there are good things hidden like this! Hey, it’s really stingy to not let me know until now! It’s worthy of coming out from the root of the king’s city, and you have deep thoughts.”

General Gao couldn't sit still any longer. After pacing back and forth a few times, he immediately sent an order to ask the military doctor to test the functions of these foods. It would be best if they could detect them. Even if it came from the hand of Suhou, he dare not use it.

This is something that is imported. Apart from the money and food allocated from above, the Jianing Pass defenders naturally have other channels. They don’t just accept the food given by anyone, especially now when wars may start at any time, and they dare not take it lightly. If there is a problem with food and grass, the Jianing Pass will be over, and the entire southwest region will be affected.

Elder Su needs to borrow General Gao's strength, so naturally he won't do anything about it.General Gao soon learned from the military doctor that it was safe to eat, and even the nutritional content of several of the foods was much higher than the food they were using. General Gao immediately sent his men to the two armies to guard the border discuss.

After the transaction was completed, General Gao immediately fulfilled his promise and dispatched his troops to cooperate with local inspections to carry out a large-scale suppression of bandits and bandits in the area under his jurisdiction. Not only him, but also Mr. Su.After such a large-scale raid by the two of them, the law and order in the entire southwest region has improved a lot, not to mention along the commercial road.

Only in this way, some gangsters who were neither recruited nor caught fled into the nearby state capital, making the situation there even more chaotic.They can't control this point, they can't stop suppressing bandits just because they are worried that the people in other places will be affected, right?

When Fang Tianlin got the news, he just laughed it off.This is a typical example of not being able to get ahead without profit, and if there is no big enough interest behind it, General Su may cooperate with one or two, but General Gao will forget it.The cost of dispatching the army is not ordinary, otherwise how could they allow the bandits to make trouble everywhere?Where did the benefits come from? Didn't everyone have their eyes on the products of the Shen family, especially the food produced by the Shen family?

Including the newly opened land in Xinghuo Village, the Shen family only has a total of more than 4000 mu of land, most of which will be used by the Shen family. It is impossible to supply all of them to the two defenders in the southwest. , I can only turn my attention to the Shen family's partners.

After the summer harvest, the local landlords and squires in Linshan County planted a large amount of high-quality grain provided by the Shen family. When buying fine seeds, Shen Jiahe made an agreement with them that the Shen family had the right of first purchase.Fang Tianlin told Shen Jiahe to do this to plan for the future.

The Shen family's partners did not have any objections to the fact that the Shen family purchased grain from them.They can't finish eating so much food, who is it not to sell?What's more, it was the Shen family who made this request, even if they suffered a little loss, they would be willing.

The Shen family's partners have calculated that once the new products are released to the market, their income will be much higher than that of field production. Apart from keeping enough rations for themselves, they really don't care much about the rest.

After suppressing bandits throughout the Southwest, the Shen family no longer stayed in Huanggu for a whole month, and would go out of the valley to Xinghuo Village from time to time to have a look.Of course, this treatment is only available to some people. Most of the Shen family's hired workers still cannot leave the valley. There are too many advanced things in the barren valley, and Fang Tianlin doesn't want them to be released now.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Liu Cheng, Shen Jiaxi was overjoyed and surprised at the same time.Every time he took advantage of the holidays to take a bath, he hurried back to the valley to visit his family, and this was the first time Liucheng went to the city to see him.

"The third brother and the third sister-in-law issued a ban. We can come out once in a while, but for the time being, we can't leave the valley too often. When our family becomes stronger, this problem will not exist. Well, that's what the third brother said. "Liu Cheng hugged the youngest son with one hand and the eldest son with the other, with a smile on her face.They are still young, and it is very tormented to be separated from each other for a long time. Once they meet, it is like dry wood meeting a raging fire, and it is difficult to hold on.Fortunately, there were two children as buffers, so they didn't do anything inappropriate.

Liu Cheng didn't feel very at ease staying in the valley at first, he was afraid that Shen Jiaxi would drink flower wine and provoke men and women, but after such a long time, he was relieved.

As everyone knows, after Shen Jiahai and Shen Jiaxi decided to leave the valley to do business, Shen Jiahe chatted with them for a long time, and completely wiped out the signs of three wives and four concubines that they might have before they became stronger, so that the relationship between Shen Jiahai and his brothers and husband has been maintained. Harmonious, there is no third party, resulting in the family not being able to form a family, which saves Fang Tianlin a lot of trouble.

The caravan from Linshan County, who followed General Guan, did not stop at the towns along the commercial road because of their relationship with the army. They went straight to Zhenning Mansion and sold some of their goods there. shipped there together.

Mr. Su is the top general of the Zhenning Pass garrison. Yanzhou City is very close to Zhenning Pass, and he can walk back and forth in a day at a fast pace. The current situation is so chaotic, how can the magistrate of Yanzhou dare to neglect?Even the navy stationed at Yanzhou Port did not dare to slap its face at will, let alone a mere civil servant!Yes, now he's just a civil servant, but during the Taiping period, Zhizhou didn't have much contact with the border generals, and coupled with the issue of civil and military standing in line, both sides don't like each other, so it's impossible to have much friendship.

Although the value of the goods in the caravan is high, it is not the most important item. What makes people stare at it is the set of small canning equipment.Because of its importance, this set of equipment was placed within the sphere of influence of Mr. Su, not far from Yanzhou Port, and it took about two hours to get there by horse-drawn carriage.The surrounding area of ​​the workshop was strictly guarded, and people were not allowed to come in and out at will.

As soon as this set of equipment was in place, it was fully activated. The main products were some cheap seafood to supply the needs of the army. No wonder Mr. Su attached great importance to it.Of course, in addition to this, we also make some high-value canned foods, such as lychees, pineapples, and high-end seafood that are common in the local area.These high-quality canned foods, in addition to meeting the needs of the members of the Linshan County Business Alliance, if there is any surplus, they will be sold in the Shenjia store in Yanzhou City.

Except for some members of the Shen family, the caravan from Linshan County came to a seaport city like Yanzhou City for the first time, and everything was new. If it weren’t for the strict control of the port, they might still want to take a boat to the sea for a stroll. lock up.

The goods of the Shen family were extremely popular, and they were sold out within a few days. The leaders of the caravans immediately started buying goods like they didn't want money.

Fashionable silks and satins, local specialties... But everything that is not available in Linshan County is within the scope of their purchases. If it is not for the limited amount of money they bring, it may not be so easy to stop.Especially fresh seafood has become the favorite dish of everyone in the caravan. While eating hazelnuts, they can't help but feel sorry for their lords and wives. The masters are not blessed to enjoy these things, but it is cheaper for them.
