Chapter 162: Don't panic if you have food in your hands
Chapter 162: Don’t panic if you have food in your hands
This sentence is not only said to Ying Niang, but also to Liu Qing. How to understand it is their business. Chen Xie didn't care about this. After saying that, Chen Xie stood up, picked up the goods list and looked at it, "Today is the last day. After moving these goods, these Liaodong people sent them to work at the docks in Longkou and Qishan. How to arrange it? Tell Wen Bajin. Those who know the truth and keep it, and are responsible for transporting some things that should not be seen by outsiders." As Chen Xie pointed out, Liu Qing knew it was steel and some arms. This is the goods that Chen Xie valued the most every time, and the quantity was extremely large. They must be sent to the warehouse with trustworthy people and ants.
"Don't worry, I've recorded it all." Liu Qing quickly agreed and took two steps back tactfully. Chen Xie was in the same circle, and the people around him didn't know what he was thinking about. At this time, Chen Xie was actually thinking about whether he was going to go to Jiangnan. There was a considerable period of time when there was no big thing to happen.
Liu Qing also felt a sense of crisis. Chen Xie’s current family is no longer a relatively single joint business. Wen Bajin’s engineering team, plus the workers recruited this time, can have tens of thousands of people. The second largest scale is the cement factory and the kiln, and there are five or six thousand people. The blacksmith workshop also has 3,000 to 4,000 people, and the glass workshop and this time, can have 5,000 people. There is also a garment workshop, and nearly a thousand women are working. Among the people recruited this time, about 10,000 people entered various workshops and engineering teams. Most of the remaining people were arranged to go to Qishan and Huang County. What are you doing? Farming! For the upcoming continuous drought, store enough food to deal with changes. Don’t panic if you have food in your hands!
As the executor, Liu Qing didn't know the intention of Chen Xie to do this. He only understood that Chen Xie wanted to show his muscles. The deeper meaning was, no one expected.
"How many refugees are there outside the city?" Chen Xie stopped and asked, and Liu Qing said, "There are less than 10,000 people. These people are probably preparing to return to Liaodong. In the following opinion, it is already very interesting to help deal with most of the refugees."
Chen Xie smiled and said, "The key is land. Only with land can we place more refugees. Tell me, how many lands are there now?"
Liu Qing said: "Go back to the boss. The specific number is in the hands of Aunt Yu Xun. I know this roughly, not counting Qishan Suo and Huang County. There are 30,000 acres of land just around Dengzhou."
"If there is less, it's still less. Don't keep the money in your hands. Spread it out quickly and buy land. No matter how expensive it is, buy it. If you buy it, don't rush to farm. It's not a problem to abandon it for half a year. The key is to first repair water conservancy and then dig wells. The business matters, you can just catch it in the future. Don't pay attention to everything in detail. A person's energy is limited. The same is true for buying land. It's left to a dedicated person, but it can't be left to someone to catch it. You have to check and balance each other and control it in time. Focusing on the accounts is a little tight, the key is to establish a system, under this system, everyone will perform their duties. Liu Qing, now you are in charge of such a few things, and the territory will be bigger in the future. You will be exhausted like this." Chen Xie said slowly, and Liu Qing was secretly happy.
"I understand, I know what to do." People like Liu Qing are not afraid of being tired, but are afraid of not getting Chen Xie's trust. Now Chen Xie is clearly trusting as the original and caring about his body. Liu Qing also understands in his heart that as the scale of various workshops continues to increase, the former main body of the United Store will gradually become the main body. Of course, this problem is still very far away now, but the general trend is like this. United Store will play more role as an online platform in the future. Those who really make a lot of money will still be those workshops. Cement workshops, food workshops, blacksmith workshops, casting workshops, glass workshops, garment workshops, kilns, engineering teams and other industries are the foundations that support Chen Xie's future. There are also some special workshops that have not been counted yet. For example, gunpowder workshops and military equipment workshops, these are relatively special departments, and Liu Qing cannot even get involved, so it is under the jurisdiction of Changsheng.
In fact, Chen Xie regrets much more than Liu Qing. In this era, he can only use people to build a business. It is not easy to earn some money. He has to keep so many mouths to run a workshop. He is speechless, and Chen Xie can only see it in front of him.

A team of carriages slowly walked on the avenue, and the horse's hooves stepped on the concrete road, making a crisp sound. More than a dozen burly men, each with a horse under their crotch, guarding six carriages, heading towards Zhangjiazhuang. When they saw a Luka from afar, the team of carriages stopped. A big man turned over and dismounted, strode forward, and his eyes fell on the rifle in the hands of the guards.
"This military master is polite. We are a businessman from Shanxi. The shopkeeper comes to see General Chen."
Zhangjiazhuang is now Chen Xie’s old nest. The surrounding soil surrounds have been rebuilt, brick walls are built outside, and checkpoints are set up on the road. Not anyone can enter the village just by thinking about it. All the workshops in the previous years have been moved out of the village and found another place to build a factory.
The weather was so hot that Chen Xie had to give up his trip to Jiangnan and planned to wait until autumn cooled before going. In the shade of trees in the backyard, Chen Xie built a pavilion, and the water wheel brought the water from the pool below to the pool at a high place. When it was hot at noon, the water from the pool at a high place, and the water pipe that connected the shower fell on the top of the pavilion, and Chen Xie was enjoying the cool in this pavilion.
A recliner is a must. If you lean on it and doze off, the water droplets fall from both sides, like a water curtain hole. It is comfortable to feel, but it is too water-consuming. There was a lot of trouble when repairing this pool, and it had to be used for special purposes.
Yu Xun took a post into the pavilion, looked at the maid who was fanning the side, waved her hand and signaled, and leaned over and whispered: "Master, you're calling the guests from Shanxi. Do you want to meet me?" Chen Xie was not asleep. Yu Xun knew very well that the master must be thinking about things at this moment. It would definitely not be like this when he fell asleep. When the master fell asleep, he would definitely shrink his body sideways.
"Well, a guest from Shanxi? What's the name?" Chen Xie really sat up with his eyes open, took the post and took a look, with three big words "Fan Yongdou" written on it. Chen Xie subconsciously straightened his waist and showed a dark smile on the corner of his mouth.
"What? Master knows this person?" Yu Xun had a deep understanding of Chen Xie. When she saw this expression, she knew that Chen Xie was not happy.
"How could I know him? But I was a little surprised to see that he was a Shanxi businessman. What do they want to come here from such a long distance? The territory of Shanxi is not the flower world in Jiangnan. The sales of daily chemical products are only 30,000 to 50,000 taels per year. The sales of thermos bottles are pretty good, and you can buy thousands of them every year. Isn't that the market there, and the agents in Beizhili are still in charge." Chen Xie's explanation can barely be said.
"Then I won't see him, I'll go back to him." Yu Xun said as she was going to chase someone away. Chen Xie smiled and said, "Forget it, they're here from afar, and they're very rude when they don't see each other. This is not a way to entertain guests." Chen Xie said as he stood up, Yu Xun quickly put on his long gown and walked along the path full of green trees. Chen Xie walked out slowly, thinking to himself that Fan Yongdou was a famous Shanxi merchant. He was also a famous traitor.
When he arrived at the reception room, he came forward and saluted, "Master, that Shanxi merchant named Fan, has been waiting outside for a while." Chen Xie nodded: "Go and invite in."
Fan Yongdou was quite shocked along the way, so I won’t talk about the cement road. The key is that after passing Huangxian, the entire ground was very peaceful. I followed the road to Zhangjiazhuang, and there were vibrant scenes everywhere. It was not the scene of hungry people and deserted fields that I saw before. This way, I went to Northern Zhili, and it was better to go to Shandong.
Let me put it this way, Zhangjiazhuang and its surrounding areas cannot see the impact of war or the impact of drought. After traveling around the country for many years, of course, I know what to look at the situation of a place. I look at these details one by one, and I almost know a rough idea.
This General Chen Shen is indeed a character. At this time, Fan Yongdou's view of Chen Xie had basically taken shape. He also increased his confidence in the purpose of this trip.
Xiaoxuan's father accompanied her to talk outside, and came out loudly inside and greeted him, "Master, please invite me."
Fan Yongdou calmed down and made himself calmer, and followed Mengzi slowly. It was fake to say that he was not nervous, and the money of the Later Jin people was not easy to make. Others didn't know, but he knew that the Later Jin suffered a great loss in the pass. For this reason, Amin was imprisoned, Haoge and Yuetuo were all demoted, and even Duoduo was dealt with by a small amount. This person caused all this.
This time, whether we can establish relationships and seek future development is crucial for the entire Fan family.
Chen Xie, wearing a long gown, stood on the steps of the main hall and smiled. Looking at Fan Yongdou, who was wearing a long blue cloth dress, wearing a little Russian on his head, and following Mengzi, steadily. This guy is a character, and Chen Xie did not underestimate him at all.
"Fan Yongdou, Jiexiu, Shanxi, has seen the gang general." Fan Yongdou had donated his honors, so he naturally did not kneel when he saw the official. He was not a Confucian scholar, but after taking off his hat, the headscarf inside was exposed. There was nothing special about the outfit, and it was impossible to tell that it was the clue of any big businessman.
Fan Yong bowed his hand and politely, Chen Xie smiled slightly, clasped his fists and said, "Shopkeeper Fan has come from thousands of miles away. Thank you for your hard work, please!"
"Please, General!" Chen Xie looked at Fan Yongdou with a calm expression and smiled slightly, "Shopkeeper Fan, I have read the post and the gift list, and I have made a lot of work. I wonder what can I do for Manager Fan?"
"General, Yongdou has come here, and he really has something to ask for. He is a mere polite etiquette, but the horse brought by Yongdou was detained by a general Wang Qinian when he arrived in Huang County." Fan Yongdou quickly said politely. In fact, Chen Xie didn't look at his gift list carefully at all, and saw fifty horses. Unexpectedly, this horse made Wang Qinian intercept the bell.
Chen Xie waved his hand and smiled, "It's okay, Wang Qinian is mine, this matter is not a big deal." That's right, could Chen Xie come out to see Fan Yongdou because of his horse. (To be continued...)
