Jiang Yang accepted the ten times the price, and nothing could stop his determination.

After the arrangements were made, Jiang Yang returned to his house.

The first thing that is lacking right now is silver, the second thing is labor force, and the third thing is food.

If the price of grain in Xiami County does not come down, when the grain merchants from counties and counties enter the market, they will definitely be driven out of Xiami County. If the operation is done properly, the price of grain will actually come down.

Don't be in a hurry for food.

As for the labor force coming from population, 3,000 refugees are naturally not enough. There are more than 500,000 people in Xiami County who have been mobilized during this period, which is enough.

As for money, let’s start with drinks, but don’t be blind. Tomorrow we’re going to have a look at a restaurant. If you know yourself and the enemy, you’ll be victorious in any battle.

A night of silence.

Early the next morning, I heard from Wang Tong that before dawn, Ma Yan and Li You went to him to take one hundred thousand taels of silver, went to the bank to exchange it for silver notes, and went to the county town.

In order to facilitate their work, Wang Tong gave them an extra one hundred taels.

Jiang Yang nodded and told him to collect some grain at a high price, and not less of vegetables and so on. These things should be sent to Hedi first.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yang appeared in an inn in Xiami County.

Well, that's right, it was the place where Wang Chen and Manager Liu were arrested last time. Thinking of Wang Chen, Jiang Yang burst out laughing.

This boy is still locked up in the woodshed with Manager Liu. If he can't remember, he will give him a meal. If he can't remember, he will get nothing.

I wonder how this guy's affairs are going? If everything goes well, with good cooperation in the next step, Wang Yuanwai can be knocked out directly.

Putting aside those things, Jiang Yang sat in the restaurant and ordered a few dishes.

This era is not like the film and television works of later generations, which are nothing but beef.

You can only eat mutton, pork, and some fish.

Although Xiami County is not near the sea, it is still very close to the sea.

There was still fish, so Jiang Yang ordered a portion of mutton, a piece of fish, a few simple home-cooked dishes and a couple of glasses of wine.

Sitting on the table, Jiang Yang watched in all directions and listened in all directions.

Many people are talking about what happened in Jiangyang yesterday, including regulating river embankments and reclaiming wasteland, and getting three out of ten.

Some people criticized this statement and some people agreed with it.

Those who criticized Jiang Yang were simply saying that Jiang Yang was treasonous and contrary to the national policy formulated by the saints. Those who supported Jiang Yang said that Jiang Yang was dedicated to the people, opened warehouses to provide disaster relief, and sought welfare for the people. He was a good official and a good strategy.

But Jiang Yang didn't take them seriously.

He glanced across the counter and saw a muscular man there. Although his skin was dark, his eyes were bright.

He said casually: "My lord, you can enjoy two taels of meat and some wine. The total is one tael and one penny of silver. Just give me one tael."

"Then thank you boss."

"You're welcome, come often."

Jiang Yang found that the boss was quick at calculations and good at doing business. Datang, which had no business environment yet, learned how to attract repeat customers.

Looking at the entire restaurant, the layout is very reasonable. It does not look crowded and maximizes the use of the space. More tables and chairs are placed.

It is also hygienic and looks very neat.

This boss is a talent.

Jiang Yang nodded and expressed great appreciation. At this time, the food was also served. Jiang Yang took a look and found that he really had no appetite.

Except for the garnish of green onion, ginger and garlic, it is plain and plain, which is naturally not suitable for Jiang Yang, who comes from later generations to enjoy spicy food.

After a bite, it was just mediocre and not very tasty.

I poured a small cup of wine and took a sip. It was a little low in alcohol, just a little spicy, and had no so-called aroma or staying power.

Shaking his head, Jiang Yang became more confident in his wine.

At this time, the muscular man behind the counter saw Jiang Yang shaking his head and walked over with a bottle of wine.

"Sir, I see you are shaking your head frequently. Is the food not to your liking?" the man asked with a smile.

Jiang Yang put down his chopsticks. What can I say about this meal? This era is like this. Materials are scarce and manpower cannot be blamed.

He slowly said: "The food is okay, but the wine is a bit lacking."

"My guest is just joking. If nothing else, our wine is very famous in Henan and Hebei Provinces."

Henan Road and Hebei Road were the administrative units of the Tang Dynasty, and the two sides were divided by the Yellow River.

Although Xiami County is on Henan Road, it is very close to the Yellow River, so it has a good relationship with both roads.

"Many people have come to order our drinks, saying that even the dignitaries from the capital have agreed to drink them."

"If nothing else is said about the entire Tang Dynasty, our wine ranks among the top three."

The strong man was very proud when he said this. After all, it was a family tradition of brewing wine.

Jiang Yang could tell, so he picked up a chopstick and took two bites of the meat and said, "How about we make a bet?"

"What kind of bet?" The strong man said with a smile: "You don't want to tell me that you can bring out better drinks than what I have here, do you?"

"That's natural." Jiang Yang nodded and said, "I'll be here at this time tomorrow to show you my drinks."

"Oh? What's the bet?" The strong man was very confident that his drink was first-class.

Famous wines like Dukang may be better than mine, but what about the others? Nothing more than that!

Your wine is inherited from your ancestors, so how can you not do it?

"Bet? Of course it's you!" Jiang Yang said with a smile: "If my wine is better than yours, you will work with me in the future. You can give me a price for this restaurant. If my wine is not good,

, then I will give you one hundred thousand taels of silver, what do you think?"

The strong man calculated it and realized that his restaurant was worth only ten thousand taels of silver at best, and one hundred thousand taels of silver was far more than that.

Jiang Yang continued to say excitedly: "How? Do you dare? Are you still not confident in your ancestral drink?"

"Of course I believe it." The strong man patted the table and said, "It's a bet. I'll be waiting for you here at this time tomorrow."

"Okay, it's settled." Jiang Yang nodded with a smile.

I have my own plan for doing this, and now I am seriously short of manpower.

Wang Tong is in charge of finance, Chen Zhiyong is in charge of public security, Wen Guan will share the government affairs for him in the future, and Wang Chen on the other side is a secret pawn.

For the two Ma brothers, although Ma Feng can be responsible for building the new countryside, Ma Yan has not yet settled down.

However, based on Jiang Yang's understanding of him, he should not be able to help him support the overall business situation, so Jiang Yang set his sights on the restaurant owner.

After the meal, Jiang Yang made a special trip to ask for a jar of wine to take away, which was enough for the market. The strong man was very proud of this.

Back at the county government office, before Jiang Yang could gain a foothold, several people from Wen Guan were ready to come over and report on today's situation.
