When Li Zexuan came home, it was getting dark, so he brought the iron egg with him by the way. Now that he accepted this apprentice, Li Zexuan plans to teach him well. Let Tie Dan live in the West Yard first, anyway, the West Yard is so big, just pick a wing room for him.
As for Han Yuxi, of course he didn’t come with him. Li Zexuan planned to let her come over to help mix the wine after he was busy. At that time, it was estimated that the first batch of fruit wine made by Hanjiazhuang could be delivered. Recently, he really didn’t have time to care about this. Too much to do.
At dinner in the evening, both Li's father and Li's mother expressed their kindness to the new member of Tie Dan. The Tie Dan, who has always been stubborn, felt a little embarrassed and was often teased by Lan Er during the dinner.
Lan'er is also very happy with the arrival of Tie Dan, and now she finally has a playmate of the same age. Although her elder brother treats herself very well, he always treats herself as a child. Lan'er is always a bit aggrieved. At this time, the iron egg came, and she is not the youngest. Of course, she just thinks so. Actually Tiedan is a few months older than her.
After dinner, Li Zexuan reported the number of chickens raised by the farmer in Hanjiazhuang today to Dad Li in his study. Dad Li was taken aback:
"Eighty thousand? So many? Xuan'er, so many chickens, can the farmers raise them?"
"Father, don't worry, you will definitely be able to raise it. My boy will arrange it for the farmers. My boy will prepare to purchase chicken fry tomorrow and send it to Hanjiazhuang in batches."
Li Jingmo nodded and said, "Well, the sooner this matter is, the better!"
"Then dad, do you know the market situation of chicken seedlings in Chang'an? How much is one?"
Li Jingmo thought for a while, and said, "It's about seventy or eighty writings. It's just that Xuan'er you need such a large number of chicken fry, I am afraid it is difficult for the merchants in Chang'an City to fully supply it."
Seven or 80 texts, so expensive? Li Zexuan was shocked. The chicken fry from the previous life was only three or four yuan each, which is almost equivalent to about a dozen texts in the Tang Dynasty, but it is relieved after thinking about it. Modern chickens are hatched in large-scale automatic incubators. Yes, the cost will naturally be lower.
After hearing the second half of the words of the old man, Li Zexuan frowned and said: "Father, do you have a way to provide a large number of chicks in a short time?"
In his impression, his father is omnipotent as long as it is related to business, but this time he disappointed him.
I saw Father Li shook his head, showing a helpless expression.
"Xuan'er, I did various businesses for my father in the early years, but I never set foot in the chicken market for my father."
Uh, Li Zexuan is also a little helpless.
"Then you can buy as much as you can and send as much as you want. Boy believes that those vendors who see that the chicken seedling market is in short supply, they will definitely find a way. Then we will have to give a little more money!"
Li Jingmo nodded and smiled: "Hehe, your kid sees it thoroughly."
……
Early the next morning, Li Zexuan called Wang Zhong and asked him to take Sambo Afu's family members to the East Market to purchase as many chicken fry as he could, buying as many as he could.
A few people led away with money. Li Zexuan summed it up in his mind. If one were to calculate one piece of eighty characters, it would take about six thousand four hundred gangs for 80,000 chicken fry. Of course, with Li Zexuan's massive purchases, there will certainly be many vendors sitting on the floor and raising prices. Li Zexuan felt that in the end, if he wanted to buy 80,000 chicken fry, it would cost about 8 to 9 thousand.
This is really expensive.
Tie Dan was also mentioned by Li Zexuan early in the morning and slipped away, and asked him to learn to read from Lan'er. This made Lan'er happy. She didn't expect that she would have a day as a husband. Seeing the little girl, carrying her hands behind her back, pretending to be a mature and polite, teaching Tiedan, Li Zexuan couldn't help but want to laugh.
……
In fact, Li Zexuan’s guess was not wrong at all. After Wang Zhong and the others came to the East Market, just like the bandits, they met a vendor selling chicken fry and directly bought out the other’s inventory.
The noses of merchants are the most sensitive. Some merchants will know the news about Wang Zhong and others soon. As a result, every place was moved by the wind. While raising the price of the chickens, they sent people to the surrounding counties to purchase a large number of chickens. In half a day, the price of chickens rose from 75 cents to 85 cents, and finally even It has risen to the sky-high price of ninety texts. For a while, Changan chicken was expensive.
But Wang Zhong and the others still didn't care about the price. They wiped out all the chicken fry in the West Market, and told the vendors that they needed a lot of chicken fry, so that they could hurry up and buy.
……
"Master, the old slave bought all the chicken fry in the West Market. There were only more than 8,000 chickens in total. In the end, some vendors raised the price, but the old slaves bought them all. Those vendors will go to the surrounding counties to buy goods today. We can continue to purchase tomorrow."
In the front yard of the Li mansion, Wang Zhong pointed to a dozen large wooden boxes on the ground to report to Li Zexuan. There was a noisy "tweeting" sound from the wooden box, and it was so lively for a while.
Li Zexuan nodded ~EbookFREE.me~ and agreed: "Uncle Wang, you are doing the right thing. I believe that the chicken fry will only be more expensive tomorrow. I am troubled. These chicken fry were transported to Hanjiazhuang and handed over to Han Lizheng, who asked him to distribute them in the order in which everyone signed up at the time. He also asked Han Lizheng to immediately summon the staff in the Zhuangzi, the wages were 30 per person per day, and asked them to surround the back mountain. A chicken farm comes out. You will continue to buy chicken fry tomorrow."
Wang Zhong nodded and agreed, and then immediately summoned the staff.
……
Li Zexuan returned to the west courtyard, came to his study, spread out a piece of rice paper, closed his eyes, drew the structure of the Quyuan Plow, and marked the size (Li Zexuan also learned about the unit of measurement in the Lower Tang Dynasty during this period. The marked size is naturally converted)
and the precautions required for the processing of each part.
After finishing the painting, Li Zexuan rolled up the drawings and was about to go to Yan Shaoning's house to find him. Of course, the sooner this matter is, the better, the farmers in Hanjiazhuang are still waiting for his Quyuan to plow the land.
Under the leadership of a small Jiading at home, Li Ze came to Yan's house. After the concierge informed him, Yan Shaoning greeted him with a big laugh.
"Haha, how come Xiaoxuan has time to come and see him today!"
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Brother Shaoning, as the technical director of our Qiquge, one of the four major shareholders, of course the younger brother has to come to recognize the door, haha!"
Yan Shaoning is full of black lines on his forehead. He hates the title of technical director very much, but Li Zexuan does not agree to change it to him. Now he hears these words and coughs twice. Yan Shaoning said:
"Xiao Xuan, come with me to the front hall, sit down, what is it like to stand at the door."
Li Zexuan nodded and followed Yan Shaoning into the mansion gate.
