The labor force in cement workshops is now sufficient.
Chen Ze decisively decided to conduct a tarpaulin experiment.
Linen can be shipped from Hezhou, where fine linen is cheap.
Ji Shan Shu asked someone to bring a few more carts from Fengzhou.
Although there is no good news from Fengzhou, arrangements have been made in advance for large-scale planting of mountain rats.
The significance of the mountain rat is no less than that of potatoes.
Even if it cannot be used as a staple food, it can be used as a supplementary food and can also be developed into feed and processing materials.
It must be planted in a large area.
Instead of occupying farmland, you can choose to cultivate and open up wasteland in mountainous areas.
Mountain rats are drought-tolerant, their growth rate can be described as barbaric, and their numbers are large.
Simply a plant of choice.
What's a little troublesome is that it's almost the autumn harvest season. People are busy with the autumn harvest and have no time to do other work.
Therefore, we did not recruit many people, only about two hundred people.
It's almost like, we need to open up wasteland first and plant as much as we can. Anyway, we don't have to keep an eye on the mountain rats every day. Basically, we don't have to worry about them if they plant them and slobber on them.
Preparations can also be made for transplanting. Let’s see if the environment here in Qingzhou can support the cultivation of mountain rats.
The cement and iron-making workshops are all surrounded by mountainous areas. You can try to open up wasteland and plant some first to see how it goes.
The victims of the disaster are labor force to a certain extent, but it is currently unrealistic to transport them to Fengzhou to specifically cultivate mountain rats and the like.
The fastest trip to Fengzhou takes seven days, and walking is even slower, at least half a month.
Moreover, if you send someone there, you have to find a way to accommodate them. If you don’t have a place to live, there will be trouble.
There are a lot of problems that may arise and the cost is extremely high, so I won’t consider it now.
Besides, Chen Ze can't reach Fengzhou now.
After researching the tarpaulin and writing a rough plan, he directly asked the communication team to send it to Xu Hai.
To brainstorm ideas, try new materials.
Because it was just an experimental project, Chen Ze couldn't give him a large budget, just two hundred taels.
The available budget now is only about 7,000 taels.
You can't just wait for Qin Boyang's funds, you still have to start some income-generating projects yourself.
Most of the business and resources basically belong to Qin Boyang, and Chen Ze himself has to think of new ways to make some money.
Confiscating the house...forget it, forget it.
At this juncture, it's better not to raid your home easily. It's not appropriate.
After He Qi and the Qingzhou Gang were kidnapped last time, the evil forces in Qingzhou City instantly became a coward.
Even if it was announced that He Qi was unlucky and made Chen Ze unhappy, and there were no other subsequent actions, it still had a considerable deterrent effect.
It's a surprise.
After all, Chen Ze's purpose is not to intimidate, but to catch them all in one fell swoop.
At that time, we did not think carefully and acted on impulse, which has caused great difficulties in the progress of the current investigation team.
On weekdays, there are far fewer gangsters on the streets, and most of them stay at home instead of wandering around.
The business of the kilns has begun to slow down, and they basically no longer come out to solicit customers.
Usually when you walk into those small alleys, you can still see madams and some girls soliciting customers under lanterns, but now they are all closed.
There are clues, but the ultimate goal is to find out where the abducted children are really hiding and prevent these guys from jumping over the wall.
Especially when these evil forces have protective umbrellas behind them, they might pull out a powerful person behind them with just one pull.
There were powerful people taking care of the Qingzhou Gang, and Chen Ze always pretended not to know.
According to the confessions of He Qi's subordinates, there are at least three powerful figures behind the Qingzhou Gang, and they all came to attend Chen Ze's sixteenth birthday anyway.
These powerful people are not so easy to bully, especially when the powerful people gather together.
In short, don’t act rashly until you have a clear understanding of the situation.
Think of other ways to make money.
"How about opening a mahjong room?"
"Anyway, those noble ladies are bored at home, so why not set up a mahjong parlor for their entertainment and collect tea money and service fees?"
"And the whole beauty oil spa?"
"Initiate a membership card model, add some gifts, give out gifts when the recharge limit is reached, and then organize an internal lottery?"
Chen Ze touched his chin and considered whether this plan was practical.
Essential oil massage and the like may not be practical, skin-to-skin contact is still quite taboo, and it is unlikely that you will take off your clothes and lie down and let another woman massage you.
Mahjong room available.
Hairdressing... forget it, I have a maid, and my hairstyle is different every day.
shampoo?
Chen Ze blinked.
There are many types of shampoo these days, including saponin, plant ash, mulberry bark, tea seeds, rice water, etc.
People in Dachu are very particular about hygiene, and women also take great care of their hair.
What would you do if you use rice water and toilet water? ?
Women have no resistance to fragrant things!
Not to mention women, men don’t have much resistance either!
Qin Boyang never forgets to bring a sachet when he goes out!
Moreover, Lu Zhiping has not yet started selling toilet water, so it seems that combining it with shampoo is also a business opportunity.
As for the beauty industry, Chen Ze didn’t understand it and didn’t think about it.
Skip directly if it involves the chemical industry.
You can't mess around with this thing. If anyone's skin is damaged, it will become a mess.
Cucumber for face?
There are no cucumbers these days.
Neither pumpkin nor watermelon.
There were melons, but... Chen Ze had never seen them before, and the taste was very different.
The horned melon is the variety that Chen Ze tastes closest to the cantaloupe so far. It has a strange shape, with a small pointed angle, an oval shape, green and yellow, and it grows on trees.
Chen Ze is now even more confused about Da Chu's world view.
Do I know too little and have too little experience? Or is this another world?
Plant evolution variants still haven't been passed on?
There is no Silk Road, and I have never heard of the Great Navigation.
Chen Ze originally thought that the eight southern states he traveled through were very close to the Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan in the original history, but based on what he learned, it seemed that they were different.
Please God, give me a map of the world so that I can see what the world looks like. I have an idea in my heart.
If it weren't for the original earth, I wouldn't bother looking for those cotton potatoes to see if I could find a replacement crop.
The cultural evolution of this world has many things in common, that is, the history of the times is a bit confusing.
"Forget it, don't worry about it anymore, just make peace with it as it comes."
"Let's build the mahjong room and shampoo room first."
"First of all, I have to train a group of female employees. They must be talkative, sweet-tongued, complimentary, and able to sell products."
"Go to the brothel to poach someone?"
Ordinary girls are not good, their hands are too rough, and they are timid. They have never seen the world, so they may not be able to handle it.
Therefore, the girls in brothels are more relaxed and suitable for this kind of reception work.
