Chapter 1071 Preparations before the Southward Migration

Chapter 1071 Preparations before the migration to the south

"Okay, then I'll listen to the two ladies. I'll write a letter to Dashu right now. Do you two have any requirements for our new yard?" Luo Chong nodded, confirmed the migration to the south, and then immediately changed the subject.

"Dad, can we have a big yard? I want to bring the small train over, and lay the track longer, okay?"

Before Xiaodie and Zhan Ying could say anything, the eldest son sitting in Luo Chong's arms took the lead in making a request. Luo Chong smiled and did not agree, but said.

"We can take the small train with us, but the yard isn't much bigger. We'll just live in it temporarily for two years. When the palace is built, we'll have to move again. When we move into the palace, we'll build you a big yard. The palace's yard is bigger than Hanyang City!"

"Okay, can daddy get you a bigger train by then? I'll be six or seven years old by then, and I'm afraid this train won't be able to accommodate me." When little Luo Cheng heard that the palace's yard was bigger than Hanyang City, he immediately became happy. He was counting on his fingers how old he would be by then. He spoke with details. Who can say what will happen in a few years? Maybe he will be tired of playing by then and won't want to take the train anymore? !

Luo Chong ignored this, but Xiao Die and Zhan Ying were thinking about Luo Chong's question.

"Cheng'er is right. Our new yard should be bigger. We will definitely bring Sister Tang Yao to live with us. She will definitely have a baby for me. The yard is too small. I'm afraid it won't fit her. It will be unfair to Sister Tang Yao." Zhan Ying was the first to put forward his opinion.

"Sister Ying is right. You should take this seriously. We are moving to the south anyway. You might as well take this opportunity to marry Sister Tang Yao back and take care of this matter. You should also take over the Tang tribe. Don't let the capital be built and the Tang tribe is still dragging on." When Xiaodie heard Zhan Ying talking about this topic, she immediately reminded Luo Chong.

Luo Chong smiled bitterly. These two wives are really... In the previous life, they would have wanted to have only one husband, but now, the two wives are taking the initiative to find another one for themselves.

He sighed in his heart. Maybe this is the characteristic of this era. No tribe leader has only one woman. If there is only one woman, the two of them will think it is abnormal.

After all, the difficulty of population reproduction in this era is deeply rooted in people's minds. In the earliest hunting and gathering stage, men hunting is risky. Even if they are injured, they may die. It is also dangerous for women to give birth. If they are not careful, there will be two deaths. In such a situation, the leader, as the best man in the tribe, has the right to have priority in reproducing offspring. This is basically

a truth that is deeply rooted in people's minds and even engraved in their bones. This is the same even in the developed society of the 21st century in the previous life. Although there is no such thing as a leader and a tribe, men who are rich, powerful, good-looking and tall are more likely to find a partner. This is the memory that is deeply rooted in the bones of human beings, and no one can change it.

Luo Chong shook his head, threw these messy thoughts out of his mind, and then nodded in agreement.

Xiaodie was right. When the capital was built, it was time to establish a country. Luo Chong couldn't leave the matter of the Tang tribe unresolved. This matter should be resolved. When he moved to the south, he could marry Tang Yao. If Tang Yao got pregnant again, he could legitimately take over the management of the Tang tribe on the grounds that Tang Yao was pregnant and it was not appropriate for her to overwork the Tang tribe.

This trusteeship model would be implemented for one or two years. When the Han tribe established a country, it would be announced that the Tang tribe and the Han tribe would be merged to establish the Han Empire.

In this way, it would not matter who annexed whom, but a merger. The merger would also make it easier for the people of the Tang tribe to accept. Anyway, they were actually controlled by the Han tribe, so it would not matter if the two tribes merged into one empire, right?

The family discussed for a while and determined the various requirements for the new courtyard. Luo Chong returned to the study to write a letter to Dashu. He told Dashu that he would move to Takumi County in the fall and asked him to arrange a courtyard for him in the county town of Takumi County. Finally, he asked about the progress of the construction of the capital and whether he had anything to bring to him. Then he asked the guards to send the letter.

After arranging the new courtyard, Luo Chong began to explain the various matters after his move. Before leaving, he had to arrange the eight counties in Hanyang area.

So Luo Chong called another guard to make arrangements.

"The Shen Ce Guards are about to return in triumph. The back mountain military camp needs to be cleaned up. If there is anything damaged, find someone to repair it quickly. When the soldiers come back, they must live in clean barracks. Let the Jinwu Guards do this. You go and mobilize a small team and let them find someone to do it."

"Yes! I'll do it right away!" The guards took the order and left.

Luo Chong returned to the study and took out a piece of white paper again, and began to list the things to be done one by one.

The farm in Liuyang County needs to be arranged, and there is also the matter of brewing beer. The farm planted corn in the first quarter, and it has been harvested now. The harvested corn has been sent to various places for storage. In the second quarter, barley was planted, which Luo Chong originally planned to use to brew beer. This matter must be done.

Since there is beer, a brewery must be built, and supporting industries must also be established, such as glass bottles, iron rolled beer bottle caps, rubber sealing pads inside the bottle caps, and trademark printed stickers on beer bottles. These are all indispensable things for glass bottles. Of course, the Han tribe’s beer must also sell barreled draft beer, so wooden barrels must also be customized, but this does not need to be specially arranged, because the wood processing plant in Liuyang County can customize these things.

Then what needs to be arranged is the location of the brewery, the name of the beer, the person in charge of the enterprise, and the construction of supporting facilities.

Luo Chong thought about it and decided to go there himself. He first went to Liuyang County to find She Xin. At present, the only place in the Han tribe that concentrated on brewing liquor and the only place in the Han tribe that produced liquor was in Weishan County, but Luo Chong did not plan to put the brewery there because Weishan County was too close to the industrial zone and it was not suitable for the development of the food industry. This was unsafe, so he chose Liuyang County. There were

no heavily polluting industries in Liuyang County. The three largest factories should be the shipyard, the wood processing plant, and the paper mill. The shipyard basically did not discharge sewage and processed wood. The wood processing plant was similar. The paper mill did have some pollution, but the paper mill in Liuyang County was not a factory at all. According to its scale, it could only be called a workshop.

Therefore, taking advantage of this move to the south, Luo Chong also prepared to upgrade the industry, abolish the papermaking workshop in Liuyang County, and then move to the south to build a real industrial paper mill. In the future, the raw materials for papermaking will be mainly bamboo, supplemented by wood, so as to reduce the damage of the papermaking industry to the natural environment.

After all, bamboo grows faster than wood .

In this way, Liuyang County eliminated all the sewage-discharging enterprises, and it would be no problem to build a brewery. Moreover, it is close to the inland waterway and has a dock, so the transportation is also very convenient.

When Luo Chong arrived in Liuyang County and told She Xin about the matter, She Xin immediately became excited.

"The leader is planning to build a brewery here in Liuyang County?!" She Xin was very excited when he heard the news. You know, there are no serious star companies in Liuyang County. The only one that is famous in the whole tribe is the shipyard in Liuyang County, because all the sailboats that the Han tribe used to run were built here. It is impossible not to be famous.

"Yes, the brewery, that kind of bubbling beer that I brewed with wheat a while ago. I remember Zhan Ying also sent some to your family. You should have drunk it, right?" Luo Chong nodded, confirming She Xin's guess.

"Yes, the second wife sent some to my family. I have drunk that wine. The taste is very unique and a little bitter, but it is very refreshing to drink in summer. It really has the effect of relieving heat. What does the leader want to do with this brewery?" She Xin immediately agreed, and also talked about his feelings about beer.

Although it is a new wine, Luo Chong also had to sigh that beer in the previous life could be ranked as a drink all over the world. Its charm seems to be universal in this world, and many people also like this alcoholic beverage.

"How to do it. Well, I plan to build a factory here in Liuyang County, brew and can beer, and then sell it to all parts of the Han tribe. However, beer is different from liquor. The alcohol content is low, so people can drink it freely. The sales volume is naturally not comparable to that of liquor, so one factory cannot cover the entire Han tribe. Therefore, the brewery in Liuyang County can only cover the northern region, and another branch will be built in the southern region." Luo Chong immediately analyzed it.

"We also need to build a branch in the south? What about the relationship between the two sides? Is it a subordinate relationship?" She Xin immediately became nervous because he was afraid that Luo Chong would build a brewery in the south to directly manage the branch in the north, so that he would not have the management right of the brewery. Luo Chong

did not expose his little trick, but changed the topic and talked about other issues.

"Do you know how the liquor in the Han tribe is sold now?"

Luo Chong suddenly brought up this seemingly unrelated topic, which really stumped She Xin. Of course, he knew the superficial answer to this question, but with his understanding of the leader, Luo Chong was definitely not just asking the surface.

Sure enough, before he could answer, Luo Chong explained himself.

“At present, in the entire Han tribe, only Weishan County produces liquor, so this liquor has no name. People only know that this liquor is called liquor, has the aroma of grain, tastes spicy and can intoxicate people.

“The counties and prefectures in Hanyang only know that the liquor is made by Weishan County, and the southerners only know that it is produced in the north. However, this sales method is not conducive to the future operation of liquor. For an enterprise, the most important thing is the brand and the name. People can know what it is as soon as they hear it, and it may even be the best or most distinctive one of its kind. Do you understand what I mean? "

She Xin can understand nothing. Isn't liquor just liquor? There is only one company anyway. Does it matter what it is called? As long as it is liquor, isn't it okay?

He simply shook his head, but She Xin was not a fool. Although he didn't understand what Luo Chong meant, he knew that Luo Chong was planning to name the future brewery or beer. As for the benefits of naming, he didn't understand, but it didn't matter if he didn't know, it wouldn't affect his building a factory and brewing.

Luo Chong didn't expect him to understand directly, so he continued.

"At first, I wanted to name the beer Liuyang Beer, but I felt that naming the beer after a place name would make the people in other counties feel that they didn't have a sense of belonging; then I thought of the name Jinfan Beer, because Liuyang County built sailboats, but I was afraid that the people would think that this was a beer specially produced for sailors, so I eliminated this name as well."

"Don't worry, chief, I think both names are good. Liuyang doesn't have to be the name of our county. It is also the name of the mother river of our Han tribe. Only by naming it after the mother river can all the people of the tribe feel a sense of belonging.

"And the name Jinfan sounds good too. Drinking our Jinfan beer will make everyone go smoothly. What a good meaning it is. Why can't it be okay?" She Xin got excited. He really liked both names, but Luo Chong rejected them one by one. How could he not get excited? This was a good opportunity for the mayor of Liuyang County to look good. How could he let it go easily?

"No, I think there is a better name that can increase the popularity of the beer and the sales volume of the beer." Luo Chong saw his excitement and explained immediately.

"Increase popularity? What do you mean?" She Xin asked in confusion.

"You have to make it clear first. The beer we want to sell has not appeared on a large scale in the tribe yet. The name Jinfan was thought up by me. Of course, I know that this name is good, but it is not suitable now. The most important thing now is to let the people understand the effect of beer when they hear a name, so I plan to name it Snow Beer."

Luo Chong shamelessly plagiarized a certain beer brand. The name Jinfan Beer is indeed nice, but the two words Snowflake are close to the people. It's useless.

"Snowflake?!" She Xin suddenly understood what Luo Chong was doing, and he immediately analyzed it.

"The leader meant to use the name Snowflake Beer to make beer more well-known. Snowflake Beer means snowflakes are cold, made of ice from water, so people will know that this beer is different from white wine, it is cold, and drinking it in summer can relieve the heat. The meaning of the two words "Snowflake" is to instill in the people the concept that beer can relieve the heat, right?"

Luo Chong praised with a snap of his fingers.

"That's right, it's clear at once. People don't know what beer is yet. When they are already familiar with white wine, how to distinguish it from white wine is the most important thing. The different types of beer, plus the cool name of Snowflake, will make people understand that this is a summer drink to relieve the heat. When people understand what beer is, when they open other breweries, they can use some names with their own characteristics, such as Jinfan Beer."
