Xiao Chuan said: "The bearded man is His Majesty's brother, so he will be loyal to His Majesty, and he will be prosperous and rich for generations to come."
Yang Sudao: "You can only be rich for three generations, how dare you think about ten thousand generations? But my Yang Su descendants will definitely be loyal to His Majesty the Sui Dynasty."
Xiao Chuan said: "I believe it."
But he said in his heart: "I believe it's strange? Your son Yang Xuangan was the first to create Yang Guang's rebellion. It seems that I have to find a chance to kill Yang Xuangan in the future, otherwise my money-making plan will be disturbed."
Seeing the brand-new armor and weapons, the soldiers at Shishan Military Camp cheered for joy. They immediately took off their tattered armor, threw away the remaining guns and rusty knives, and put them on.
When Lai Huer was away, Qu Tutong came to guard him and train the soldiers instead.
Lai Nuer showed both kindness and majesty to the soldiers, but Qu Tutong treated the soldiers with one word, "ruthless."
Under Xiao Chuan's instruction, Qu Tutong began to brainwash the soldiers.
A thousand soldiers wearing heavy armor, carrying knives and guns, carrying bows and arrows, luggage and dry food, stood in a neat line.
Yang Guang stood in the center in front of the queue, Xiao Chuan and Qu Tutong lined up on both sides.
Qu Tutong put on his clothes neatly, and thrust the big iron spear in his hand into the ground more than half a foot, and shouted: "Monkey boys, who gave you enough to eat?"
The soldiers shouted together: "The King of Jin, Ah Chuan!"
Qu Tutong shouted: "Who gave you the land to build a house and support your family?"
The soldiers shouted, "Ah Chu, King of Jin."
Qu Tutong roared, "What are you going to do?"
The soldiers roared: "Train hard, kill the enemy and perform meritorious service, and protect King Jin!"
Yang Guang smiled and said: "You not only have to fight for Xiao Wang, but also for His Majesty, and more importantly, you have to fight for yourself. Those who train hard will have meat to eat, and those who kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds will be rewarded. Xiao Wang Let’s set a rule here today. Anyone who beheads an enemy will be rewarded one tael of silver for each head. The higher the rank, the reward will be doubled!”
The soldiers were overjoyed and shouted: "Thank you, King A-Sheng of Jin, for fighting to the death for King A-Sheng of Jin!"
Yang Guang ordered: "Qu Tutong, start training."
Qu Tu channel: "The final general will obey the order."
The cement road from Shihuishan to Qujiangchi has been completed, and there is no problem with two horse-drawn carriages driving side by side.
So cement and stones began to be transported to Qujiang Pond continuously.
After several months of cleaning, the canal has been opened. According to the drawings provided by Xiao Chuan, Lao Zhang led the villagers and the people of Xiao Chuan Shiyi to start building the stone embankment.
Xiao Chuan also took the time to inspect the gravel wasteland that Yang Yong exchanged for a few days ago.
After checking the information on Du Niang, Xiao Chuan was very happy. It turned out that those gravels were not ordinary stones, but kaolin, which is rare in the Guanzhong Plain.
As long as kaolin is produced in the JDZ area of Jiangxi, it's no wonder Yun Shitai doesn't know it.
This time the crown prince Yang Yong sent another treasure, which made Xiao Chuan feel a little embarrassed. You can't just squeeze the wool by Yang Yong alone?
You have to fatten up before squeezing!
However, Xiao Chuan was a little worried. There were too many industries and not enough managers.
Three days later, the seafood hot pot branch opened smoothly.
The prince and his advisers researched and understood the recipe of spicy hot pot, and opened a spicy hot pot restaurant. For a while, the fragrance of chili was wafting all over Chang'an, and it was fashionable for rich and well-off families to eat hot pot.
Of course, some shrewd businessmen secretly opened some Mala Tang restaurants and Mala Hot Pot restaurants, but since King Jin and the crown prince controlled the peppers, the taste was not good at all, so they could only use the price tag to satisfy the lower class people.
Even the wealthy Qiwang family with five surnames began to pay attention to Xiao Chuan, a playboy born out of nowhere.
Although each family of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes family is extremely wealthy, they cannot cope with the large number of people in the clan. They have to spend a lot of money to cultivate outstanding children of the clan and subsidize the officials of the clan. So when they heard about Xiao Chuan's deeds, they immediately smelled like mosquitoes. Like blood, they sent family heroes to Chang'an one after another, preparing to contact Xiao Chuan.
The only way Xiao Chuan could solve his sorrow was to have a good meal.
When we went to a hot pot restaurant in the afternoon, Li Yu and Xiao Chuan had become familiar with each other, and they always pestered Xiao Chuan to buy various snacks.
Regardless of his young age, Li Yu is a foodie, but he also manages the accounts clearly.
Dugu Cheng manages several hot pot restaurants and more than a dozen shops, and he has to check them every day.
A declining family is just an empty shelf, and a lot of money is needed to support the prosperity of the family.
Xiao Chuan gave Dugu Cheng a chance to make money, the relationship between the two brothers improved, and the second wife became more polite to Xiao Chuan's mother.
This is the truth that a son is more valuable than a mother.
Xiao Chuan asked Dugu Kaiyuan to be in charge of the operation of the brick kiln workshop, Dugu Kaiming was in charge of the operation of the cement workshop, and Dugu Kaiche was in charge of the newly built porcelain workshop.
Xiao Chuan downloaded the production process of Tang Sancai from Du Niang and gave it to Dugu Kaiche, asking him to study and figure it out to see if he could make Sui Sancai.
Now Xiao Chuan's business layout already includes restaurants, coal, quarrying, cement, bricks and tiles, Ming tiles, porcelain and other industries.
Xiao Chuan selected managers, and started to be a hands-off shopkeeper himself. He went to various workshops for three to five days, and then went to the barracks to train soldiers.
Laihuer came back in a hurry and brought back 100 Turkic war horses.
Shan Xiongzhong used the deposit to protect his children to buy a large number of tea cakes, pots and pans and other items that the Turkic people urgently needed, and led his men to steal into the Turkic desert again in exchange for more horses.
Xiao Chuan seized [-] war horses in the surprise attack on Turks and Dashi last year, but Xiao Chuan wanted to build an elite cavalry for Yang Guang, so he kept buying horses.
The centurion is responsible for training his men in riding.
Yu Juluo, Lai Huer and Qu Tutong were also freed from management, and practiced hard every day.
Seeing the heated training scene, Yang Guang was full of ambitions in his heart. He pointed his horsewhip at the soldiers in front of him and said, "Cousin, give Xiao Wang [-] cavalry, and Xiao Wang can sweep across the desert and flatten the south of the Yangtze River."
Xiao Chuan said: "Ah Chen, the south of the Yangtze River is full of water, so you need to use a navy."
Yang Guang rolled his eyes at Xiao Chuan and said, "I know! Then I will conquer Goguryeo."
Xiao Chuan trembled in his heart, and said, "Ah Chan, why did you think of beating Goguryeo?"
Yang Guangdao: "The Goguryeo people are capricious and untrustworthy. They will surrender today and rebel tomorrow. We can simply kill them all. If the Japanese country is not far away and blocked by the sea, I will even destroy the Japanese country."
Xiao Chuan gave a thumbs up and praised: "Ah Chan is mighty and domineering!"
But he secretly said in his heart: "My ancestors, if you hadn't beaten Goguryeo three times, you wouldn't have exhausted your wealth, and the people would not live, and the country would perish."
Every morning Xiao Chuan went to the barracks to practice first.
Riding a mare, waving the halberd and practicing the "halberd-shaking method".
When the soldiers saw Baron Wannian baring his teeth and claws, they felt that it was funny. Just as they were about to laugh, Qu Tutong raised his whip, and hurriedly suppressed their laughter and practiced seriously.
Now Xiao Chuan couldn't draw the gravel bow, so he got a soft bow and practiced archery with the bow. Although he failed to hit one or two out of ten, he still enjoyed it.
The young master's body also became stronger.
On this afternoon, Yang Guang came to the military camp in a hurry, drank a cup of tea and said: "Xiaochuan, the Yellow River overflowed during the high floods, flooding three counties, and victims were everywhere. There were also victims near Chang'an City. My father is discussing with the ministers." How to provide disaster relief.”
