Pirate Song

When Huang Hao heard Gao Huaiyuan's instructions, he was immediately frightened. Gao Huaiyuan's appetite was really huge. He actually wanted to do business with all the tribes in Tubo and tried to find a way to resell horses back from Tubo. But Huang Hao was also a favorite.

For those who have challenges, Gao Huaiyuan has a big appetite, which just satisfies his appetite.

Pursuing, after hearing this, Huang Hao immediately stood up and answered with cupped hands: "I obey, I will arrange things here after the new year, and then go to Chengdu. The only question is whether I can fulfill the young master's request. I don't know now."

I can guarantee you, but I will definitely work hard, so please rest assured, young master!"

Gao Huaiyuan nodded with satisfaction. He valued Huang Hao's courage to accept the challenge. He also knew that it would be difficult to accomplish this. If he didn't have a little courage, running to Chengdu would probably be impossible.

He couldn't do this, which was the main reason why he and Huang Zhen chose Huang Hao in the first place.

"You can just go ahead and do it. Money is not a problem for us now. Money can make all the difference. Only if you are willing to spend money! This time you go over, I will arrange ten guards for you to ensure that you

Safety, as for the people you need for business, you choose it yourself, but you should pay attention to one thing

, that is, the people you use must be honest and steady! Don’t let the news get out! If it’s not easy to get horses, try to get me some Tibetan mastiffs first. This thing is also a good thing. I have always wanted to get it.

Some of them came back because they had no chance!" Gao Huaiyuan then ordered Huang Hao.

"Young master, I obey! Thank you for your understanding, young master. I will definitely do my best!" Huang Hao became a little excited. He knew that if he could do this well, he would be among Gao Huaiyuan's most trusted personnel.

, the benefits he would gain by then would definitely be much greater than those he had now as the shopkeeper of Ezhou Zuixianlou Headquarters. He had already seen that Gao Huaiyuan was a

A person who does great things, even though he is just a small ninth-grade sesame official at the moment, the strength hidden behind Gao Huaiyuan is definitely quite huge, so he feels that if he follows Gao Huaiyuan in this life, it will be very difficult.

It might help him achieve a great career! Therefore, Huang Hao is very eager to try it out and wants to go to Sichuan to show off his talents after the year.

After handling this matter, Gao Huaiyuan did not waste any more time and left Ezhou and returned to Daye County. By this time, the Spring Festival was approaching, and basically there was nothing going on with the government.

When Gao Huaiyuan returned to the county government, County Magistrate Liu was even more polite to him. It was basically impossible for him as a magistrate to meet Zhao Fang, a high-ranking member of the party, but Gao Huaiyuan, a small nine-year-old

The captain of Pinxian County was summoned by Zhao Fang to receive him. This is a rare thing. He is really a bit

I couldn't understand how good and capable Gao Huaiyuan was, and he could actually attract the attention of a high-ranking official like Zhao Fang, so I didn't dare to underestimate Gao Huaiyuan. When I saw Gao Huaiyuan, I felt like I was flattering him, as if Gao Huaiyuan was the real one.

The magistrate of Daye County, and he is generally a subordinate of Gao Huaiyuan.

Regarding the attitude of Liu Zhixian and others towards him after returning this time, Gao Huaiyuan felt a little bit amused, and his eyelids were too thin! He just went to see Zhao Fang, and when he came back here, what would Liu Zhixian do these days?

Are all my colleagues so polite?

However, Gao Huaiyuan still accepted Ji Xiancheng's opinion, and treated Liu Zhixian and others with the same respect as before without being arrogant or arrogant. Liu Zhixian and others were very pleased. They felt that Gao Huaiyuan was a good person. At least he was not because of hugging Zhao.

Fang's thighs despised their colleagues.

"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, I have something to do and I want to go home. I have come here to ask for a few days' leave. I hope you will grant me permission!" Gao Huaiyuan saw that the Spring Festival was approaching, and this year, after he became the county captain, he was no longer free.

Because of this, Shaoxing's father Gao Jian did not invite him to return to Shaoxing to visit relatives. However, he had not been back to Wohu Village for a long time, so he asked Magistrate Liu for leave and wanted to go back to the village to check on the situation.

"Oh? County Lieutenant Gao wants to go home for a visit. There is no problem. Just go back. The county will be much more peaceful with you on the ground during this period. You don't have to worry about things here. I and others are here.

Just don't worry!" Liu Zhixian didn't even burp, so he agreed. Now he felt that he couldn't afford to offend Gao Huaiyuan, let alone take a few days off. Even if Gao Huaiyuan didn't come to the Yamen to report, he

He doesn't even fart.

A year later, Crouching Tiger Villa doesn't look like it has changed much from the outside, but once you go in, you can see that the inside is actually very different from before.

During this year, Gao Huaiyuan, while busy with the affairs of the bow and arrow club in the county, gradually began to transfer some properties in Wohu Village out of Wohu Village. The reason for doing this was for no other reason than that he

The industrial development of Zhuangzi was so rapid that many workshops were crowded into Zhuangzi, which could no longer accommodate them.

Therefore, Gao Huaiyuan used the resources at hand to occupy several mountainous areas in remote areas of the county, once again in the name of Huang Zhen, Xue Yan, Zhou Hao and others, and gradually moved several workshops in Zhuangzi.

He was the first to move the blacksmith workshop out of Zhuangzi. Otherwise, the sound of blacksmithing day and night in Zhuangzi would have made it difficult for people here to have a good night's sleep.

It was not easy, and after Tiezuo moved out, he was placed in a mine in the mountains. There was only one road to reach there, and ordinary people were absolutely not allowed to enter Tiezuo. It was his most secret place, and it was also owned by Xue Yan.

Management, in this way, his mine has formed a one-stop industrial chain, and he can more rationally utilize the resources at hand.

After the relocation of the iron factory was completed, the second one to be moved out was Jiang Peng's soap workshop. Although it is still a soap workshop, the current soap workshop is no longer a single workshop that only produced soap.

Huaiyuan and Jiang Peng's

Through hard work, it can be said that a new type of cosmetics workshop has basically been formed. The products include not only soap and scented soap, but also a glycerin refining and filling workshop, a cream production workshop, an essence extraction workshop and a perfume production workshop.

As a result, Soap Factory expanded so much that Crouching Tiger Village could no longer accommodate it. As a last resort, Gao Huaiyuan had to drive Jiang Peng out of Crouching Tiger Village and moved him to a house more than 20 miles away from Crouching Tiger Village.

Among the large Zhuangzi surnamed Cao outside, this Cao family was originally a wealthy family. Their ancestors were once a wealthy family in the Northern Song Dynasty.

However, after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Cao family became worse and worse from generation to generation, and the huge family property was wasted by the prodigal sons of later generations. In the end, even the huge real estate of Caojiazhuang had to be sold out. After Gao Huaiyuan learned about it,

He immediately bought his family's village at a high price and chose it as the new location of the soap shop.

Of the current workshops in Crouching Tiger Village, only Li Tong's Liulicang has not been moved out yet. However, Gao Huaiyuan has also found a new village in another place and started to build a new large glass building there.

After the kiln is completed in the next year, Liulifang will also be moved.

In the end, Crouching Tiger Village returned to quietness again, with only the garment workshop remaining in the village, so that the place could gradually return to cleanliness, eliminating the smoky fire that makes people feel uncomfortable even from a distance. This was also done to expand the scope of pigeon breeding.

The size of the market, after more than a year of expansion

Now Liu Fu's precious pigeons have multiplied to thousands. When they are released every morning, there will be a large number of them, which looks spectacular. Just the young men and women who follow Liu Fu to learn to raise pigeons have reached

With more than thirty people in attendance, it was still a bit busy.

If things continue like this, Gao Huaiyuan is really worried that he won't be able to feed so many pigeons. Fortunately, not all of these pigeons can be used as homing pigeons. Liu Fu specially selected the pigeons with strong homing ability, good long-distance flying endurance and good endurance as pigeons.

Breeding pigeons are bred, and the remaining

The pigeons that fell were eliminated, and the number of pigeons was finally stabilized within a controllable range. However, Liu Fu had a rule. Even if the pigeons were eliminated, no one would eat them. In the end, they could only be given away.

, otherwise, this pigeon fanatic will fall out with others.

Now that he has pigeons, the communication between Gao Huaiyuan and outside industries has become much more convenient. Especially Huang Zhen, who is busy in Liangzhe and Zhejiang, often comes and goes, allowing Gao Huaiyuan to keep track of the situation.

According to Huang Zhen's progress, such carrier pigeons were gradually sent to Zuixianlou branches in various places throughout the year, and specially arranged for people to take care of them. This really helped Gao Huaiyuan control his own industry.

Moreover, a batch of such pigeons were sent to Huang Yan, who was far away working in the army, so that Huang Yan could often provide timely feedback to Gao Huaiyuan on matters in front of the general, and gradually formed an intelligence network that enabled Gao Huaiyuan to

You can also learn about the war situation between the Song and Jin countries in the north of the Yangtze River at any time.

As for Zhao Tong's dog farm, it was also driven out of Crouching Tiger Village and placed in a very remote ravine. The instigator was Liu Fu, a pigeon fanatic. His reason was very simple. He said that the big dogs raised by Zhao Tong were

Not only did he often eat his pigeons, but he also made his pigeons

The pigeons were often frightened, and the barking of dogs even made some of his pigeons dare not return home, which seriously affected the effectiveness of his pigeon training. As a result, Gao Huaiyuan had no choice but to aggrieve Zhao Tong and his fierce dogs and kill them.

Kicked out of Crouching Tiger Village.

In the end, even the gunpowder mill outside Crouching Tiger Village was moved away, and Zhao Tong's dog breeding base was also moved into the mountains. Once there was an accident in the province, the gunpowder reserves would blow up the huge Crouching Tiger Village.

Make the ground flat.

In the past two years, Gao Huaiyuan's gunpowder workshop has also developed greatly, and gradually formed a strict production process. In addition, some equipment required for the production of gunpowder was specially added, and the production process was gradually improved.

Black powder is something that can be easily detonated, and problems can occur if you are not careful. Gao Huaiyuan knew this very well. He knew its power better than people of this era, so he invested a lot of energy in the gunpowder workshop.

, for fear that something would go wrong and cause a big explosion, otherwise his secret might not be hidden.

If you want to solve the problem of production safety, in addition to open flames, a little spark may detonate an explosion. In addition, static electricity is one of the most troublesome things. Therefore, Gao Huaiyuan has spent a lot of money on many crushing tools and uses

of copper to avoid sparks, while gunpowder is produced

After arriving, measures must be taken to dry in the shade. Even for the packaging of finished products, Gao Huaiyuan deliberately used iron buckets for packaging and storage. Although the cost increased significantly, the safety was guaranteed. In addition, he treated each product carefully.

A strict system has been established for each step and no one is allowed to violate it.

After these people who were selected to work in the gunpowder workshop saw the explosive power of gunpowder, they were all stunned. They knew the power of gunpowder explosions, so they became very careful. Everyone paid attention to the implementation of the system.

, for fear of something unexpected happening.

Gao Huaiyuan would go to the gunpowder workshop for surprise inspections from time to time. Over the past year or so, no major problems have arisen.

When Gao Huaiyuan returned to Wohu Village from the county seat, the people in Zhuangzi were already ready to celebrate the New Year. Gao Huaiyuan had not celebrated the New Year with everyone like this for several years. This was why Gao Huaiyuan came back from leave specifically.

The main reason is that in the past few years, he either returned to Shaoxing or was in front of the army. Over the past few years, people here have gradually become accustomed to Gao Huaiyuan's absence.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Gao Huaiyuan could actually rush back to Zhuangzi this year before the year before, so everyone was extremely happy, and everyone came to pay Gao Huaiyuan New Year greetings.

Naturally, a rich man like him would not be stingy. He asked Liu'er to prepare a lot of red envelopes in advance. Anyone who saw something would be given a red envelope, which made everyone very happy. What everyone cared about was not the contents of the red envelope.

No matter how much money there is, during a Chinese New Year like this, everyone just wants to celebrate it, which makes Zhuangzi lively.

And Gao Huaiyuan was running around like a wheel, going around every place, putting the red envelopes in everyone's hands, and finally settled in the mine. By this time, all the employees in the mine had already received the red envelopes.

The rewards went home for the New Year, and only the people who guarded the mine were left here. After rewarding these people, Gao Huaiyuan followed Xue Yan into Tiezuo in the back mountain.

"I'm here to see the young master, but it's been a while since I've seen the young master come to our place! The little old man brought this group of people to wish the young master a happy New Year!" As soon as he entered the courtyard of Tiezuo, Zhou Botong, who was glowing with light, heard the news and brought him with him.

Several of his subordinates came out to welcome him, and greeted Gao Huaiyuan from a distance, clasping his fists and saluting with a smile.

Gao Huaiyuan walked a few steps quickly, helped Zhou Botong and laughed loudly: "I'm quite busy during this period, so I don't have time to visit you. Master Zhou, you are getting more and more energetic! It seems that you are enjoying your time here.

It’s quite enjoyable!”

"Happy, happy! I have never been so happy in my life! Thanks to the young master, it seems that I still have a few more good years to live!" Zhou Botong smiled from ear to ear, with a pimple on his chin.

Whitebeard was trembling wildly, which showed that he was indeed in a good mood.

Gao Huaiyuan delivered red envelopes to everyone here one by one, and after making everyone happy, he followed Xue Yan, Zhou Botong and others into the work shed.

Although it is almost the time for the Chinese New Year, the iron work has not stopped yet. The sound of tinkling can be heard endlessly, and there is still a lively atmosphere everywhere. It seems that the iron work has no intention of stopping work because of the New Year. This makes Gao Huaiyuan feel deeply

Glad.

After all, those who can work in his ironworks are his close associates, many of whom are teenagers, and the rest are either from the north or are craftsmen whose families have moved to Crouching Tiger Village. For them,

, this is home, it doesn’t matter whether it’s the Chinese New Year or not!

Gao Huaiyuan casually picked up a knife blank on the shelf, weighed it in his hand and looked at it carefully. At a glance, the knife blank was in the style of their Liuyun scimitar unique to Wohu Village. It looked like

It seems to have been made by a novice, and the shape is not very standard, but the blade is made of decent steel, so it can be regarded as a trial work by an apprentice.

"You don't need to look at these. They are all made by my apprentices who just came to me this year to learn the craft. They are not suitable for you, young master! Come and have a look inside! Those knives are basically finished products, which is quite reasonable!" Zhou Botong

Said to Gao Huaiyuan.

"Well! It's pretty good that an apprentice can make such a sword blank. It shows that you, the master, teach you well! I won't look at the sword. I came here today mainly to see how our armor is being made. The other thing is to see

Look at the one I asked you to cast a few months ago

Do you have any clues about what to plant?" Gao Huaiyuan put the knife blank back on the shelf, grabbed a few cast arrowheads in the basket and looked at them, and then tested the sharpness of the arrowheads with his fingers.

, then straightened up and asked Zhou Botong and Xue Yan.

"Don't worry, young master, the young ones are basically ready for what you ordered. Please follow the young ones to the back and take a look!" Zhou Botong made a gesture of invitation to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan then followed Zhou Botong and others towards the work shed behind the iron work. When he walked into a work shed, he looked up and saw a pair of black iron armor hanging on a human-shaped wooden frame, so he immediately took a few steps quickly

When he came closer, he reached out and touched the armor.

This armor is obviously different from the various standard armors of the Song Army today, because in this era, whether it is the armor of the Song Dynasty, the armor of the Jin Army, or even the armor of the Xixia Kingdom, they are basically armors that belong to the Zha armor category. Most of them are armors.

It is a body-protecting armor made of pieces of iron that are strung together with leather cords. However, the armor in front of you is obviously out of the category of the Song Dynasty armor, and it has a bit of a European knight's armor.

"Okay! This is exactly what I want. How much does this armor weigh? Have you ever tested the defensive capabilities of this armor?" Gao Huaiyuan asked Zhou Botong and others.

"Back to the young master! This armor weighs thirty-five kilograms. It is composed of shoulder armor, neck armor, chest armor, back armor and other pieces of armor. They are all made of hundreds of steel. This armor can kill two people with one stone within ten steps.

A hard bow cannot be penetrated, has stronger defensive capabilities against swords and guns, and is more convenient to wear. It is much better than the current Zhajia!" Zhou Botong replied.dd
