Chapter 927 Watch the sea and listen to the Tao
The "Qing Dynasty for the Crime of Rebellion" movement was in full swing. In order to protect themselves, the political class tried hard to break the tail. The Kong family, Wei family and other business people "returned to before liberation overnight."
A large number of shops were seized, and Xiaobao was trying hard to open up the door, and he wanted to "buy the bottom" before the court auctioned these shops.
For auction, you can auction those not-so-good shops. If you have good location and lots of inventory, Xiaobao must take it first!
In Xiaobao's words, "Do you think my mother resigns from office and there is no weight in the court as my mother? My mother is everywhere!"
At the same time, the emperor gave Chu Qing a new task - to develop a new salt field.
The price of fine salt was designated by the emperor's imperial pen, and Chu Qing controlled the terminal transaction price, and reselling salt became unprofitable, so it would only benefit the country and the people.
But the emperor's move was not just for making money, but was really shocked by the attack on the Ganzhou Prefecture Shipyard.
Daxuan has not found neighboring countries overseas and has never suffered maritime invasions, so there is no awareness of coastal defense.
The population is mainly concentrated in the inland river basin, and almost all the places on the beach are exiled. Just imagine, even if they are allowed to cross the sea to escape, they will not have the chance of living.
Therefore, Daxuan has no coastal defense construction at all.
So this time, several prefectures reported that "the people of Wos colluded with the Daxuan thieves along the waters between Linyang County and Ganzhou Prefecture." In addition to shocking, the emperor also began to think about coastal defenses.
However, starting from now on, the coastal defense construction must be built at least? Should we build a sea waterproof village?
Not to mention how much money is needed, just how long does this construction process take?
If we talk about funding, there is currently no foreign invasion, so building a defense system early would be a waste of money?
This is like a housewife who starts adding firewood to cook stoves and hot pots for a meal that will not only waste firewood but also manpower?
But if Chu Qing was asked to open more sea salt farms, she would organize human patrols to ensure the operation, wouldn’t it be a big hit?
The country does not have to pay money, and Chu Qing does things alone, which is really a long-term plan of peace and stability without any profit.
"Come on!" Chu Qing fisted his right foot with his left fist: "I am worried about having a fief, so it is difficult for me to travel around! The emperor is wise and the emperor is mighty!"
Chu Qing likes such an emperor who is fond of money. Doesn’t this mean that Chu Qing has to take care of countless peninsulas? In the past, there was a "hegemon" named Jianguo. Now another emperor is also called this one, which is great.
Chu Qing simply went to watch the sea and listen to the Tao!
But when building a salt yard, you need money to buy equipment and raw materials? For example, limestone, firewood, carts, etc.
Although it is not expensive, it is also an extra expense, so you have to make up for it.
As for this money, it depends on the Fourth Prince and Zheng Chunqiu to pay it.
************************
White clouds float in the blue sky, horses run under the white clouds, wave whips and ring around, and hundreds of birds fly together.
If someone comes to ask me what this place is, I will proudly tell him that this is the place we have struggled with.
Meng Wu's convoy, the pony whip sucks the air, walking in the spring.
After half a month of rest and the nourishment of the goods purchased from the Chu family caravan, Zheng Chunqiu's expression improved a little, and his chest was not so blocked, but he felt his heart was even more blocked.
"The Fourth Prince, I'm really sorry. My physique is really... Alas, I'm sorry, I'll ask you to come to see me." Zheng Chunqiu said to the Fourth Prince with a shame.
"Mr. Zheng, please be content. I think you are getting better, and I think you are going to be better." The fourth prince said.
The fourth prince was almost dying of fear. Guyu had passed. They had not been able to go up the mountain yet, and they were all dragged down by Zheng Chunqiu!
But what can I do? He is the chief official, so he has to comfort him.
"Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey," Zheng Chunqiu hummed weakly.
During the period when he fell ill, Zheng Chunqiu sighed not only more often, but also the ending sound of his sigh became more and more lingering.
Because he left his hometown, even if there was a difference between superiors and inferiors, the comfort of the fourth prince made Zheng Chunqiu feel very friendly and couldn't help but treat the fourth prince as his family.
Zheng Chunqiu said: "The Fourth Prince, this is really bad. You can't close your eyes every night. Once you close your eyes, you won't be able to open it all night;
Also, you can’t eat melon seeds, that’s just a bite of it!”
Fourth Prince:!!!
This is nothing nonsense! You slept soundly and didn’t open your eyes all night? I was so worried that I couldn’t sleep all night!
If you eat melon seeds, you will spit it out? Nonsense! Who doesn’t spit out the shells when you eat melon seeds? I think you just deserve a beating!
Seeing the fourth prince's big neck swelling suddenly, Zheng Chunqiu didn't know why the fourth prince got angry.
He wanted to say that he couldn't wake up from nightmares all night, but he wanted to say that he didn't know the taste when eating melon seeds. He often spit out the melon seed kernels but swallowed the shells into his stomach. Why was the Fourth Prince still angry?
He was worried that his expression would improve in the past few days, and that he would die in a foreign land!
The Fourth Prince really couldn't have such idleness with him, so he personally led people up the mountain first.
Because there are labor suggestions, you have to check whether there is a road up the mountain first.
With such a high mountain, if you want to climb it, you have to first find out if there are any supporting facilities left by the Chu family's jade team.
No.
Just because Xiaobao ordered the retreat, the jade team demolished all the facilities.
Even the iron nails and ropes that assist in climbing were removed - aren't such thick and long iron nails money? Are ropes money?
Not to mention the tents and pulley sets on the hillside, we cannot stay.
The Fourth Prince and the others found some traces of climbing, such as pits left by iron nails, or arrow symbols that were drawn on the mountain, but they still couldn't climb up.
Only then did they realize how difficult it is to mine in a foreign country.
Everything has to start from scratch, and no one can help them.
If you are in China, every mining area can be used to collect labor service nearby, help open mountains and build roads, etc., just like Jizhou Iron Mine.
But it is not possible now. The workers have to be transported in batches. Whenever they arrive, they will fall down first and wait until the rest is over before they can start work.
And the food is bad.
In China, technical workers like them who are on the roster not only have their wages, but also have food in charge. Even if the food is poor, they can still eat a meat-filled dish every three days.
It’s so good now. Two steamed buns and one bowl of porridge are not much better than the prison food.
This is a plateau. If you don’t have a good physique, how can you withstand the “miasma” here?
"Sir! Sir!" A worker ran to Zheng Chunqiu's carriage excitedly: "There is another caravan coming, but it's Baoqingsheng!"
The Baoqingsheng caravan is so good. They have all the goods, including chicken, duck, fish, meat and eggs. Although there are not many chickens, ducks, fish, meat and eggs. There are many vegetables and grains. No matter how coarse and fine grains are, they are all clean, without any sand or rat shit.
And the vermicelli, no matter what you stew it with, it tastes delicious.
Last time the Baoqingsheng caravan came, although they couldn't get the meat, eggs, milk powder, etc., but eating dried vegetables and stewed vermicelli would be delicious, which would make you hungry.
It's just too little, and it was eaten up in a few days.
