Last night, Lotus Leaf was resting with the female workers in the west courtyard, because she was making wheat starch, and she, the newly appointed steward, Yahuan, also set an example.
This just provided Yuan Shan and Dugu Ruolan with space to be alone, I don't know if it was because of Yuan Shan's singing yesterday, anyway, Yuan Shan didn't get up in the morning, until Caiyi ran in and reported that Steward Zhou was back, and he didn't get up.
"Well, Caiyi will stay and wait for Mrs. to get up, and I'll go out and have a look."
Yuan Shan put on a robe and tidied it up while walking, feeling very troublesome and secretly saying in his heart that he would find someone to change these clothes later, which was not as convenient as the long-sleeved coarse cloth shirt worn by the villager.
Simply opened the neckline of the robe directly, his dress itself was improved by him, and now the open mouth looks like his doctor's coat, the big pockets on both sides are very obvious, in short, he looks a little nondescript as soon as he puts it on.
He was used to it and didn't care, and quickly rushed to the study, and saw Steward Zhou's unkempt appearance, and he could see that he had been tired these days.
"Steward Zhou has worked hard."
Yuan Shan greeted first when he entered the door, and he was very relieved to hear Steward Zhou's ears.
"It is natural to do things for the main family, it is not hard to rush more, young master, the old servant of the black stone you said has been found, and in the Luoyang generation, I found several places with black stones, and I asked the local county government that the places with black stones cannot be cultivated, and every rainy day will affect the surrounding farmers and fertile fields, and the selling price is cheaper than the wasteland, but it is a little farther away."
Zhou Zhi immediately reported.
"Tell me more about the situation."
Wonsun immediately asked.
"There are many places in the nearly 100 miles north of Chang'an where there are black stones, and there is also the black oil that the young master said."
Steward Zhou then told everything he had learned these days.
According to Steward Zhou's description, Yuan Shan probably guessed that it should be north of Chang'an to Tongchuan, and it is not strange that there is coal and time, and according to the inference, it should be the later Changqing Oilfield, across Gansu and other regions, now he will not be able to sleep, and it is not a dream to become a resource tycoon.
However, it is sparsely populated, transportation is a primary problem, and the proximity to the border makes the environment dangerous, especially since the oil field is further north than the coal area.
"Steward Zhou, bring a hundred taels of gold, buy all the places where there are coal mines and black oil, try to choose a better location, and this marquis will draw you a rough map, and buy it according to this area."
Yuan Shan did not hesitate, it is necessary to invest in order to make a fortune.
Steward Zhou saw that Yuan Shan removed a hundred or so gold as soon as he made a move, his hands trembled a little, where had he seen so much money, even if he worked in the Hou Ye's Mansion in the previous dynasty, he had never seen so much money to the housekeeper to buy land so casually.
"Young master, don't worry, the old servant will set off."
The thoughtfulness of the fire is also fighting.
Yuan Shan was in a good mood, but the problem came again, the one hundred taels of gold were spent, but there was almost no money again, and the remaining one hundred and fifty taels of gold in the hunter training class could not be used at will for the time being.
Immediately sat at the boss's desk and began to ponder, the lime kiln has accumulated the lime of the two kilns, and now it is still burning the personnel to reduce the efficiency is lower, the brick kiln is now firing, the existing bricks are 300,000, and the new brick kiln is about to be completed.
Almost all of them are used in the construction of the yard on the left side of the yard is the most used, and the hunter training class is also used, and the brick and wood structure is used as a foundation and the speed of ground construction has been increased a lot.
The raw materials for the production of matches are still short of raw materials, and the technical workshop for the production of match sticks is trying to find a way, and it will not be able to be completed in a while.
The blades for cutting the logs will use the 100-steel technology, pig iron-clad steel, so that the 100-steel part does not need to consume too much iron.
It takes time to build the production process, and the craftsmen under Craftsman Yang also have to build a large number of trays to provide for the match heads to be placed and dried.
It would be too troublesome to use it to turn holes in the wooden board, so according to Yuanshan's proposal, put the spinning yarn on the wooden tray, and when the matchstick is dipped in the match head, it will be placed directly in the mulspool, which will save a lot of trouble.
But none of this can be done in a moment, but I have to make money right away.
Think about the fact that there are a lot of things that can be exchanged for money now, but the thing that can be done once and for all is to open a store in Chang'an.
Now the price of renting a shop in Chang'an is not expensive, in fact, it is more suitable to buy it, but after thinking about it for a while, it is still the cost to buy it, it is better to rent a shop, and some of the things he sells may not be suitable for transportation to the city.
If it is good to open a commercial street in Lantian County, Guo County Order should be very easy to speak.
"Caiyi, go and ask Liu Lizheng to come over, forget it, let's go over directly, let's go around the county today."
The group soon set off in an ox cart, the speed was simply too fast, not as fast as the three-wheeled bicycle, Yuan Shan took the colorful clothes and Liu Lizheng and a family member who drove the car, and the group of four people took more than an hour to arrive in the county.
Lantian County is a big county, although there is no majestic city, but the city is still very lively.
The location of Lantian County is actually very good, it is located in the southeast corner of Chang'an, dozens of kilometers away from Chang'an City, and near Baqiao, to the north is Huaqing Pond, simply put, it is the royal bath, which is the main road to the southeast places, such as Shangzhou, Jinzhou, Dengzhou, Luoyang and other places.
From the geographical point of view, Lantian County occupies a large area, the geographical location is very good, if it can be developed, it is very reliable to drive the development of Shannan East Road in Datang.
Along the way, Yuan Shan took advantage of nothing to do and began to check the goods in the mall, and he gained a lot from reading the brief introductions of some geography books.
It's not the first time to enter the county, there are a lot of shops on the street in the city, but the flow of people is relatively small, and it is not as lively as Chang'an City, Yuan Shan was very curious when he first came, but now he looks very general when he comes again, and the construction of the entire county is not as good as his own manor, and there is nothing to appreciate.
It is precisely because of this that he wants to start the business from Lantian County, Yuan Shan wants to get into the matter, and when Caiyi called him, he found that he had arrived at the county office.
At this time, Liu Li was opening the way to find Guo County Ling, this time Yuan Shan entered the house behind the county office, and as soon as he came in, he saw a little girl practicing martial arts.
Yuan Shan looked at it twice and found that it was very good-looking, the moves of this dance were very fancy, as if he was dancing, and then he found that this was not Guo Xiang, the daughter of Guo Xianling, and he specially introduced it at the last dinner.
The woman is not very old, but she has a slender figure and light movements, especially those big eyes, which are so bright that she has a chivalrous style all over her body.
"Guo Xiang, good swordsmanship."
Yuan Shan immediately clapped his hands when he saw his heart blooming, there is no way to change this kind of problem of watching the excitement.

Guo Xiang has always been very focused on practicing swordsmanship, she already knew that someone was coming, but the swordsmanship had not been practiced yet, and she didn't pay attention to the visitor, but she didn't expect the other party to shout next to her, and suddenly broke her unskilled sword move routine.
Guo Xiang was disturbed to practice swords and didn't get angry, this was the first time she heard someone praise her, and she had a good impression of Yuan Shan for a while, but she was afraid that she would always say some beautiful things to coax her like her father, so she said directly: "I know you, you are the little marquis of the Yuan family, and you don't know how to do swordsmanship."
