Traveling through ancient times.

When Jiang Yizhou received the news that Lord He was coming, he hurried out to greet him and found that the other party had already ridden his horse to the gate of the courtyard.

Lord He handed the reins to the servant, then smiled and bowed forward: "Master Jiang is really courageous, really courageous, to have created such a magical thing in just two months."

Jiang Yizhou quickly bowed in return: "Thank you for the compliment, sir. This was all made by the workers in the workshop. I saw that this thing seemed to be okay, so I thought of paving the surrounding roads. Please, sir..."

Jiang Yizhou was being polite while making a gesture of invitation.

By the way, she gave the credit for making cement to the workshop, and she didn't lie. It was indeed Tao Er and his team who conducted various experiments in the past few months. They were just acting under her instructions.

The two entered the living room and sat down in order of priority.

The maid brought tea and snacks and left. He Jimin, who was sitting in the upper seat, was very excited at the moment. He leaned forward slightly and looked at Jiang Yizhou eagerly.

"I heard two days ago that Master Jiang built a smooth road overnight, so I wanted to come and see it, but I was always tied up with official duties, so I was able to go today. I wonder what the price of this... this... cement road of Master Jiang is?"

When he stepped into Fusong Town, he saw the flat and wide cement road. He then asked someone to check it out and found that it was indeed as hard as stone. The key point was that there were no gaps or potholes.

And the most important point is speed.

According to nearby villagers, the road suddenly appeared as if overnight.

In fact, everyone was exaggerating. The roadbed was built for many days before this.

Jiang Yizhou saw that the other party was really serious about this, and that a county magistrate had come all the way here exhausted, so he decided not to do anything pretentious.

He said, "Well... To be honest with you, Master He, this cement was just developed by the workshop masters, so the productivity is still very limited. In addition to the manpower and material resources consumed, the cost is also 20 cents per pound. So..."

Lord He pondered for a moment and said, twenty cents per pound. It is said that this also needs to be added with sand and gravel, one part of cement and three parts of sand and gravel... If you calculate it this way, it will be cheaper than digging stones.

The key is that after mixing this with water, it can be made into any shape, but stone cannot.

Over there, river embankments are built every year, but they collapse every year.

If we use this cement and add stones, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

Thinking of this, he said, "Since Master Jiang has said so, can you sell me all the cement you are producing now? How about twenty-two cents?"

twenty two?

Jiang Yizhou said: "Since Lord He has asked, of course it is possible. But as for the transportation... right now the farm really can't spare the manpower, and there are not enough mule carts and horse carriages, so..."

"Master Jiang, don't worry. I'll deliver the goods every five days and settle the bill every month. How about that?"

Jiang Yizhou smiled and agreed, "Thank you for your sympathy, Master He. I will do as you say."

After everything was discussed, Mr. He realized that he was already starving... He had been riding a horse all morning, heading straight to Yunshan Farm, and when he arrived, he couldn't wait to discuss business with Jiang Yizhou.

Fortunately, Master Jiang is as easy to talk to as ever.

As soon as the conversation here ended, the maid brought hot cotton towels to wipe hands, and then we were invited to the dining room for dinner.

His attendants and horses were also taken care of.

The meal does not include any meat or fish, but it is full of seasonal vegetables, which tastes particularly refreshing.

He couldn't help but ask, "Why do I feel that the food here at Master Jiang's is particularly delicious? I wonder why."

Jiang Yizhou smiled. She knew that the other party was obviously telling the truth, but it would be too immodest to admit it directly.

The maid next to her laughed and interrupted, "Master He, this is because the master of the family has improved these vegetables, so they are especially delicious."

Lord He's eyes lit up: "Master Jiang can actually improve fruits and vegetables? I wonder if these improved fruits and vegetables can also be promoted?"

Jiang Yizhou said: "It would be best to promote it, so I plan to open a Yunshan grain station. In this way, if anyone in our village finds any improved seeds, they will be placed in the grain station so that everyone can buy them."

Lord He laughed loudly: "That's right, Master Jiang's idea is very good, very good. If Master Jiang has any troubles in opening a grain station in the county, feel free to come to me."

As he spoke, he had his attendant called over: "Ah Wen, please take care of Master Jiang's affairs from now on."

Awen bowed in agreement.

Jiang Yizhou quickly said he was being polite, and while he extended his hand to support Ah Wen, he kept saying, "I am sorry to trouble you, sir. Thank you for your care."

A home-cooked meal that was enjoyed by both the host and the guests.

The next day, Mr. He ordered four or five mule carts to transport cement.

Each mule cart can pull more than a thousand kilograms, just enough to carry all the goods stored in the past two days.

Jiang Yizhou quickly expanded the scale of the cement workshop again and stepped up production.

On the other hand, she took Wei Ke and Liao Qi to Ximin County and chose a shop under the guidance of a pawnbroker.

The location is relatively remote, but the area is not small. In addition to the three shops in the front, there is also a small courtyard inside, which is similar to the layout of the pottery shop in Fusong Town.

What made Jiang Yizhou most happy was that there was a well in the courtyard and a vacant lot of about 100 square meters behind the courtyard, which he could buy for a small amount of money and then incorporate into the shop.

For Jiang Yizhou now, remoteness is nothing. She believes that if she puts her products here, it will soon make this place lively.

Therefore, the environment that she values ​​most must be spacious and have a convenient water source.

Both conditions were met, so Jiang Yizhou immediately bargained with the pawnbroker's manager and finally closed the deal at six hundred taels.

After the shop was settled, Jiang Yizhou decided to leave two people here to take care of it.

Now everyone in the village has a job, and they are all rolling up their sleeves and working hard. There is really no time to spare...

At this moment, she thought of someone.

There were originally two pottery shops in Fusong Town, and later she converted one of them into Jiangjia Grain Station.

But originally, in addition to the manager Tao Junshan, there was also a fellow who had been with him for many years.

Business was so bad in those years, but Tao Junshan didn't fire the guy because he was very reliable and he was reluctant to let him go.

Call……

Xiao Tongzi: "Yu Sheng..."

That’s right, his name is Yu Sheng. Jiang Yizhou seemed to have taken a quick glance and saw that he looked to be in his early twenties, a very calm and introverted kid.

So he immediately went to Tao Junshan to ask Yu Sheng whether he could be transferred to the county town to manage the store.

Tao Junshan agreed immediately, saying that the boy was reliable and his wife was a smart person and would definitely agree to let him go.

After all, there is more development prospects in the county town than in this small place.

When Jiang Yizhou heard that Yu Sheng already had a wife, he immediately decided to let both of them go to Ximin County.
