Chapter 838 Flying Cargo

Su You's writing made it very clear that land and population must be fully counted and there should be no attempt to hide them.

In the future, after meeting the food demand, Jiaozhi will change to a cash crop model. For states that do well in statistics, the Transportation Department will focus on supporting them. The future profits of local powerful people will not come from land and population, but from workshops and trade.

On the other hand, the more land there is and the more hidden households there are, the heavier the burden will be on the powerful in the future.

The powerful people didn't believe it at first, but after Su You gave support to a few knowledgeable powerful people, taught them how to extract spices from branches and leaves, and taught them how to purify black Du Gu into white Du Gu, the attitudes of the powerful changed immediately.

Spice plants are big trees. That means cutting down one tree and one less tree. But now it is different. In the future, those trees can be passed on to future generations, and spices can be obtained through the branches and leaves!

Nowadays, Jiaozhi people's method of extracting fragrance is still very crude. They usually come from the heart and roots of trees, because these two places have the strongest spices.

For example, the Cochin people cut down the trees and let them decay naturally, and the remaining part is the essence.

Then throw them into the water. The ones that float on the water are called chicken tongues, and the ones that sink are called agarwood.

This primitive and backward method will of course be abandoned by Suyou. As early as twenty years ago, Kelongli was able to extract dipterocarp from leaves and branches through equipment.

After the first batch of Dali copper arrived, Su You asked Su Fe to build a copper steamer and establish a spice factory. The main business was to extract essential oils from the leaves and branches collected daily.

Coconut oil is the best material for making soap. Coupled with the fragrance recipes Su You has collected for many years, he quickly trial-produced several coconut soaps.

The fragrance recipe is not a secret recipe. The real secret recipe is the addition of castor oil, which can be found everywhere in Cochin, to the oil. The soap made is as transparent as light amber. This alone can capture the love of most women.

This is a tiger that swallows spices. In addition, there are various fragrant lotions, sesame oils, fragrant pills...

After the soap factory of Sitong Company was established, several large acquisition orders made the obedient powerful men ecstatic.

Little Su Taibao said he wanted to help you get rich, but it was just a waste of time!

As a result, even Li Daocheng was surprised by the population count calculated this time!

According to the statistics of Li Dynasty, Jiaozhi Dingkou had only 600,000 people. Based on the calculation of 2 Dingwu, the number of Jiaozhi registered in the household department of Li Dynasty was only 1.5 million.

According to the statistics compiled by Xiao Su Taibao, there are 2.2 million people in Dingkou, Jiaozhi! The population is over 5 million!

Serfs were not counted in the population!

Su You looked at the statistics and said to the ashamed Li Daocheng: "Mr. Li, you were really doing nothing before..."

Li Daocheng could only smile bitterly: "I really don't have Shaobao's ability to lure him with huge inducements..."

The courses in the training class are many and complex, and many of them are businesses that local officials have never been exposed to.

Such as epidemic prevention, such as detailed classification of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, such as resident income statistics, such as commercial tax collection, such as industrial and mining management, such as terrace development, such as school construction, such as fiscal budget...

Fortunately, Suyou has prepared a brochure. What is taught in the training class is only an outline. You need to go back and read the specific things by yourself.

The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Suyou is not as cautious as he was on the Liangzhe Road. It can be described as drastic.

The chief officials of the state capital are still local people, and the elected officials mainly serve as referees and are responsible for supervision, while local financial transfers are assisted by accounting personnel stationed by the Transfer Department to help establish the state and county financial systems.

Su You was very tired. The administrative management of Jiaozhi was worse than that of the two Han Dynasties, and there was a shortage of people everywhere.

However, the advantage is that a large number of elected officials can be deployed to control the political situation in Cochin during the process of forming a government structure.

There is another great thing in May. Zhang San’s ocean-going fleet is finally back!

Su You couldn't hold back his excitement, so he asked for leave from Shi Wei and rushed to Jiuzhou in person to greet him.

To be honest, during the battle at Shenglong Mansion, Su You was actually frightened because he had some distrust of the new crew and the artillery skills of the Yijin Army.

Zhang San's arrival was Su You's reassurance.

Jiuzhou City, Hoi An River Estuary, Fujian maritime merchants built a town here - Hoi An Town.

This is a town with a pure Chinese-earth style, and it is also a town for wealthy people. The buildings are much more beautiful than those in Changguo County.

The town is paved with blue bricks, and there are brick and stone courtyards on both sides. There are shops on one side of the street. Businessmen pay attention to a good appearance. Every house is lined up in rows, and it is as prosperous as Meishan.

The Song Dynasty did not have a colonial policy, but businessmen driven by profit actually established many such places overseas early on. Hoi An Town is not a big one.

But there are many places that are not recognized by the Song Dynasty, because those people are "exiles", "desperates" and "outlaws".

To put it bluntly, they are fugitives, or descendants of fugitives.

Su You had already distributed leaflets to shipping merchants in the past. All remaining Chinese descendants, regardless of generation, could visit the Shipping Department of Haining City, fill in their place of origin, and exchange for status in the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty allowed them to trade, or served as guides for Song ships, becoming a communication bridge between the Song Dynasty and other forces.

If a business is negotiated, the Shipping Department will reward these people with a sum of money. Those who have made great contributions will even be sued and let them become overseas official representatives.

However, I haven't seen any effects yet, and Su You is not in a hurry at all.

The Hoi An River could not stop the large ships of Chang San and Su You, so local merchants donated their own ships to make barges, so they could barely allow the fleet to dock.

Su You met here his long-lost friends, Zhang San, Qian Kejiu, Erpu, Pu Li and Dong Fei.

The others were okay. If it weren't for the wealthy maritime businessman, if it weren't for the lofty scholar Pope who regarded money as dirt, if it weren't for the Marquis of the Great Song Dynasty, there would only be a country bumpkin like Dong Fei who made a fortune from five thousand pieces of glazed ware.

Su You is like seeing your reborn parents.

All the ships are dangerously loaded with rhinoceros horns, ivory, gold, lapis lazuli, gold ingots for pressing boxes, silver ingots, precious stones...

Money is just a number to Su You. What he values ​​more is products - horses, livestock, seeds, rubber grass!

There are also books and techniques.

Zhang San was surprised and happy to see Su You. He couldn't believe his eyes: "Young Master?! Why are you here?!"

When he heard that Su You had destroyed Jiaozhi and was now the pacifier of Jiaozhi Road, and that Hoi An Town had become the shipping office of Jiaozhi County, Zhang San couldn't help but feel a little confused: "How did this trick work..."

Su You laughed loudly: "Let me see your tricks first!"

Alp and Pu Li stepped forward: "The distinguished deputy commander of the empire..."

Su You waved his hand: "No longer."

Alp was dumbfounded: "The appointment and dismissal of official positions in the Song Empire was so fast..."

Su You was happy: "Don't talk about it yet, have you found everything I want?"

Alp waved his hands: "Those things are not important. This time I brought a large number of wisdom palace works. In the past six months, I have worked hard to translate Laqis's "Mansur's Medical Book", "Integrated Medicine" and "Metaphysics". "Algebra", "History", "Reduction and the Science of Objects" by Razmi."

“When I arrived in Hangzhou, I went to Zhongshan and worked with Prince Zhao to translate the triangular tables and astronomical tables, a compilation of triangular tables and astronomical tables that recorded astronomical scenes - "Ji Chi", as well as the "Earth Scene Book" based on Arabic cartography... …”

Su You quickly stopped: "Lao Ai, do you want to wait? You didn't bring anything else except books?"

"Yes, there are also star catalogs, sine squares, many astronomical instruments, and monographs on how to use these astronomical instruments... There are eight large cabins for light documents..."

Su You was dumbfounded: "How did you get so many things?"

Dong Fei cried sadly: "He stole my best glassware and dedicated it to Prince Manzi..."

Everyone complained: "And my jade porcelain plate..."

"And my Red Luo Jin..."

Su You was so moved that he held Alp's wrinkled hands and said, "It's really hard for you... For the sake of truth, old man, how much have you stolen from your comrades?"

Like several wealthy businessmen, Alp was so distressed that he almost shed tears when he said this: "Many books have been lost to various city-states. It is because I was once a professor at the Wisdom Palace that I gained favor from the city lords... …”

Su You consoled him: "It's good to come to the East. As for the things you used to exchange, I will ask the Shipping Department to return them all to them when you get to Hangzhou."
