Chapter 419 Replanning
There were a circle of people sitting in the study, and everyone was quite excited.
"According to your calculations, Manager Qiao, how many more looms should I add to supply the quantity sold in the other cities?"
Ye Jintang sat in the seat of honor and looked at Manager Qiao with a smile.
He made a lot of contributions during this long journey, so Xiao Mo would naturally make use of him.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she matched him with Gu Wan'er.
"My Lady, according to the situation in various places, it would be possible to add one or two thousand looms."
"At least in the short term, no matter how much cloth we weave, we will have no problem selling it."
He could earn a lot of silver from selling each piece of cloth. The looms worked day and night to weave cloth. The silver earned could feed more soldiers and protect the safety of Ningchuan City. Naturally, Ye Jintang would rather have more than less.
"In that case, let the new craftsmen work with the original workers in the city to make 3000 looms and 3000 spinning machines."
“Once the production is complete and put into production, we will carefully calculate whether it will be enough.”
"Yes."
Manager Qiao agreed readily. The craftsmen he brought with him were all experienced and they were able to make the loom very quickly.
Then they talked about grain wine. This time, Manager Qiao brought some sorghum wine and some Tusu wine.
Both types of liquor have a high alcohol content. Sorghum liquor is cheap, while Tusu liquor is a bit more expensive because it contains medicinal herbs.
Judging from sales, cheap sorghum liquor is very popular among ordinary people, while Tu Su liquor is only bought by people with a little financial resources.
Compared with cloth, the profit earned from selling grain liquor is greater. After Ye Jintang carefully inquired about the sales situation, he prepared to have people mass-produce various types of high-proof liquor.
In addition to kaoliang wine, they can also make other varieties of wine.
However, Ningchuan City does not produce rice, so they cannot make some wines that require rice as the main raw material.
For now, we can only use sorghum, corn, and wheat as raw materials to brew high-proof liquor. As for how the brewed liquor tastes, we need to find another master to come up with a recipe.
"How are the herbal medicine packages produced in our city selling?"
Ye Jintang asked Manager Qiao again.
"Medicines for treating colds sell the fastest. Our Herbal Medicine Hall is well-known and has no problem selling herbal medicine packages."
"That's good. It seems that I haven't opened so many Bencaotang branches all the way from the capital for nothing."
"I'll have people go to the city to collect a large amount of medicinal herbs. In addition to the medicine for treating colds, I can also prepare some more packages of other herbs in the pharmacy workshop."
In the original novel, a very serious epidemic will break out throughout the Tianqin Kingdom this winter.
Everyone's symptoms look similar to those of a cold, but many people will have a persistent high fever. If they do not take medicine to reduce the fever in time, it may be life-threatening.
In the original novel, Ye Yanran was accompanied by Madam Yao, who wrote a prescription. As long as the patient drank the medicine, the fever would subside quickly, and the patient would be completely cured after a few days of rest.
Ye Yanran gave the prescription to Xiao Yi, and it was this prescription that made Xiao Yi popular among the people.
At this thought an idea came to her mind.
What if it was Xiao Mo who came up with the prescription and saved the people in this life?
Without this achievement, it would be difficult for Xiao Yi to ascend the throne smoothly.
Everyone talked in the study for a long time before they dispersed. As soon as Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo returned to their rooms, Ye Jintang couldn't wait to ask him.
"If you want to attack the capital now, how many soldiers and horses do you need to take it down in one fell swoop?"
Xiao Mo, who was immersed in the joy of making money just now, was shocked by Ye Jintang's words.
"Jintang, why are you asking this all of a sudden? Didn't we already agree to take it step by step?"
"If Emperor Jing is seriously ill, and Crown Prince Xiao Yi has no power or troops, and Prince Zheng suddenly attacks him and forces him to abdicate, can the prince lead his troops to attack the capital with justification?"
"Of course, as long as King Zheng dares to start a war, I will have a legitimate reason to do so. It will only be a matter of time before I take over the capital."
"But we don't have much food and supplies. I'm afraid we can't fight a protracted war. We can only launch a surprise attack."
Although Xiao Mo did not explain it clearly, Ye Jintang vaguely guessed that if Xiao Mo were to attack the capital immediately, it would be possible but it would cost a very high price.
Ye Jintang was silently calculating the time in his heart. As long as Xiao Mo could control 20 troops before this winter, he would be able to protect himself.
When the time comes, he will use the epidemic to win the hearts of the people.
She was trying to use some tricks to get Imperial Noble Consort Dehui to send Emperor Jing to see the late Queen as soon as possible. By then, Prince Zheng would surely lead his troops to attack the capital and pull Xiao Yi off the throne.
They can wait until the summer harvest next year before leading their troops to attack the newly enthroned King Zheng.
Although the time is a bit tight, you can still kill the enemy by surprise.
Especially King Zheng, he had just ascended the throne, his foundation was unstable, and he had just experienced a brutal war. Now was the perfect time to attack him.
Ye Jintang was very excited and took out a pen and paper, and drew his plan on the snow-white paper as he spoke.
"If we can have 20 troops by the end of the year, what we lack now is food and fodder. Leave this to me. I will ensure that these 20 troops are well fed and clothed."
"You are only responsible for training the soldiers into an invincible team."
Ye Jintang looked at Xiao Mo very seriously, without any intention of joking.
Looking at Ye Jintang's plan on the paper, Xiao Mo fell silent.
It was a long while before he finally spoke.
"Jintang, this matter is very serious. If you make a mistake, you may lose everything."
"No matter how bad it gets, can it be worse than our current situation? Or if we don't attack the capital, will Xiao Yi or King Zheng let us go if they ascend the throne?"
After hearing what Ye Jintang said, the confusion in Xiao Mo's heart disappeared instantly.
"You are right. No matter who ascends the throne, we will have a war sooner or later. Instead of letting others get there first, we should plan for ourselves earlier."
"That's the truth."
The two chatted until late at night. They made the entire plan more detailed. If Ye Jintang had not been pregnant, they would probably have talked all night.
But even after saying so much, Xiao Mo did not ask Ye Jintang the key to the whole incident, how she knew about the unpredictable epidemic.
Ye Jintang was quite pleased about this. If he asked, she really didn't know how to explain it. She couldn't say that she had the ability to predict the future.
Xiao Mo wanted to distribute a large number of packages of medicinal herbs for treating colds when the epidemic came. Ye Jintang was afraid that she would not have enough time to make a large number of packages, so she planned to start making them in advance.
She didn't want to use some common medicinal herbs in the space, so she asked Manager Qiao to go out and collect them.
By increasing the volume, the production speed of medicinal material packages can also be increased.
However, she did not expect that her large purchase of medicinal herbs almost caused the medicinal herb merchants in Ningchuan City to go bankrupt.
