Chapter 12 Madman Zhang San
"Everyone's clothes are torn, and it's winter soon, so it's hard to get through. Each person divides some fabrics and makes some clothes. Women work harder, help each other, and make them for their children first."
The refugees were in a state of excitement. Did they meet a living Bodhisattva? They gave themselves work, had enough food, and gave them clothes.
"Thank you, Lord Chao."
"The great kindness of the owner of the manor, I will never forget it."
Chao Gai helped the tailor and distributed fabrics to refugees one by one.
Next to the fire, Wu Yong's eyes were deep. Is this the brother Chao Gai he knew?
Being righteous and wealthy is easy to say, but it is difficult to do it. Some people have to think about when to repay it if they borrow some money, let alone strangers who have never met each other.
Although old coarse cloth is not valuable, this carriage costs at least a dozen cents of money.
After the fabric was divided, everyone was so happy that they no longer had to wear rags. These days, most women are skillful and can make clothes with a pair of scissors and some needlework.
Chao Gai came back and looked at Wu Yong who was thinking.
"Gaoliang, what are you thinking?"
Wu Yong ate a piece of fat meat and chewed it with relish: "Brother realized something."
"I realized anything but realized nothing. It's just a waste of money. I can't let my brothers laugh at me for being untrustful, hahaha."
"The more money you spend, the more money you make, but the money you make is too slow in growing grain and breeding. Opening a restaurant is just a small fuss. My brother needs to find another way to make money."
Chao Gai pointed to the stream east of the Niuchang: "The stream flows very heavily in summer and autumn. The industry we want to do is on that stream. You will know in a few days. Then you will recruit refugees, and five or six hundred households will be better."
"Okay, follow my brother in a firm way."
This is not a new route, but a Zengtou City where you study, gathering refugees and working for yourself, not only gaining a good reputation, but also making money.
Chao Gai began to invest heavily, buying two stallions and more than 200 donkeys, and distributed them to his own tenants for breeding.
Immediately afterwards, a small inn was built at the intersection of Chaojia Village. There were more than a dozen houses selling some wine and meals and providing accommodation. Any refugees who had no money to eat would come to Chaojia Inn, they would have a free set meal, five big cakes and five green onions.
The habit on Shandong Road is that big cakes are rolled with green onions. This is a very good way to eat. If you save some food, you can last at least five days.
The Chao family has its own carpenter, a couple in the village. They don’t farm and work as carpenters for Chao Gai’s family all year round.
When Chao Gai came to the carpenter shop, carpenter Chao Youcai was making hoe handles.
"The owner of the manor is here, and he is working hard to finish the hoe handle. It will be completed in two days."
"Youcai came here to rest for a while, and you have something to do with you today."
When a talented person saw that Chao Gai had something to do, he put down his work.
"Master, if you have something to do, please talk."
"That's right. Your carpenter shop is going to be upgraded to a carpenter workshop. You will be the owner. Recruiting more than ten carpenters and more than twenty apprentices. You will be given a certain treatment and you will be slightly higher than your peers."
Youcai is very excited, and he has finally made it through so many years.
"Born owner, what are we doing after the expansion?"
"Water mill, will the water mill be used?"
"You can do it, it's just a stone mill, and the stone pounding needs to be ordered from outside. I wonder how much the main shop owner made?"
"One hundred sets of stone mills and one hundred sets of stone pestles, maybe it's even more to go back."
Chao You was shocked: "What are the owners doing so much?"
"Of course it's grinding things, grinding grain, grinding grass powder, etc."
"Then it's no problem, guarantee the task is completed."
There are still many carpenters in all villages. The world is not good, and most of them have no work at home. Chao Gai has work here, so he just recruits it. It is easy to find more than a dozen craftsmen. As for apprentices, it is too simple. There are a lot of young people who are willing to apprentice. Even many of the refugees can work by stuttering.
As for what Chao Gai does so much water mill, it is not something he, a craftsman, should think of.
Just when Chao Gai was digging fish ponds to build a cattle farm and a mill, someone was already thinking about Chao Gai on Erxian Mountain in Jizhou.
The moon is as bright as a training. In a quiet Taoist temple on Erxian Mountain, an old Taoist with fairy spirit and a bald whisk was watching the stars.
At this time, a young Taoist priest came next to him and came: "Master, you have been watching for three nights. Go to bed early and don't catch a cold."
"A red light fell near Jeju, Shandong, and this is the once-in-a-thousand-year-old star."
"I have heard of the broom star, but Tianxuan star doesn't know, the master will tell you."
"You are pretending to be stupid, okay. Tianxuan Star is a kind of luck. People blessed by luck are full of luck. To give an analogy, what will happen if you go to dinner and you don't have money to pay the bill?"
"I will fool the boss to tell the fortunes, or be scolded by the boss."
"Normal circumstances are to be beaten and scolded by the boss, because this is human nature. If a chosen person has no money for dinner, the boss may be betrothed his daughter to him or even give him the store."
The young Taoist priest stuttered his mouth and said speechless. If this person is lucky, he can make meat soup.
"Being a teacher just was just a small metaphor. In fact, it is much more lucky than that, and it is all a big deal. Go down the mountain, find this person, assist this person, protect the country and the people, make a contribution to the country, the country, and the people."
"Okay master."
The old Taoist said as he went back to the house to take out a seven-star sword: "This is the master's sword, you can take it, and you will go down the mountain early tomorrow morning."
The young Taoist priest was very happy. This was a real sword.
"Thank you, Master." As he said that, the young Taoist priest was about to go back to the house to sleep.
"Wait a minute, if you meet a bad guy named Zhang San, you must slap him dozens of times in the face."
"Zhang San? What bad things did he do?"
"I have done all the bad things in the world, and I have done half of the bad things in the sky. If he can make him reform, it is best, but if he really can't change it, it will be the result of him."
The young Taoist did not expect the master to say this: "Who is this Zhang San? Is he really that bad?"
The old Taoist sighed and shook his head again: "Zhang San was the evil thought that he had cut off from his master back then. He was reincarnated and reborn, and became an evil person. I don't know where it is. It depends on your chance. If you encounter it, teach him a lesson. If you don't meet it, forget it."
"I don't dare, that's your evil thoughts rebirth."
"Nonsense, how could it be yours? Are the ashes you rubbed off? "
"Of course not."
"Go, don't disturb me."
"Okay, I understand. Then I'll go down the mountain early tomorrow morning."
The next morning, the young Taoist priest gathered a package, hung a seven-star sword around his waist, and took an umbrella in his hand to go down Erxian Mountain, and rushed to Jeju with great strides.
