"Governor, why don't you eat first? The seafood in this restaurant is well-known. Let's eat and drink here first, and then come to watch the wind!" At this time, a secret spy reminded Zhang Liang and enthusiastically gave Zhang to him.
Liang introduces it.
Zhang Liang looked at Cen Wenben and then at himself. Although the dizziness that he felt was much lighter after getting off the car, and his legs were not trembling, I have to say that this process was really not a comfortable thing.
Zhang Liang decisively took the turtle shell and shouted loudly, "Shop, what are the local specialty dishes?"
The store quickly welcomed him out, looked at Zhang Liang and Cen Wenben's appearance, and knew that a big customer had come, and said,
"Dake, the most famous person in our store is seafood, and we eat absolutely vigorously."
Zhang Liang was not polite, and waved his hand and said, "If you have any delicious food, just go there. This governor will be inseparable from your money."
The store owner looked at it and found that it was an official, so he didn't dare to say anything more, so he immediately asked the waiter to deliver the things.
Cen Wenben followed Zhang Liang all the way, but he already knew Zhang Liang's habits.
Because Zhang Liang was born in the Wagang Army, he had no profound knowledge, and even now he still has a genuine small peasant thinking.
Therefore, as a Fengguanshi, he could not go to the upper level, and even those who were from official slaves like Xue Dading could not talk to each other. He hurriedly left after meeting him, and had no talk about anything on the scene.
This made Zhang Liang look at the problem more from the perspective of the people, such as how they are food, clothing, housing and transportation, and whether they have enough land to survive.
As long as the people have these things, Zhang Liang thinks that the people are doing well.
So Zhang Liang usually likes to live in local specialty restaurants and eat specialties. In Zhang Liang's words, if there are no delicious food in the specialty restaurants in this place, then how well the people can manage it.
Soon, the store immediately brought special dishes, such as carp, fried and cooked prawns, old fried three, etc.
The dish was served, Zhang Liang ate it in big mouthfuls, pointed the chopsticks in his hand at the spies, and said,
"Eat together, eat together. I have worked hard these days, and I have no reward for you brothers. Why do we talk while eating?"
The spies looked at each other and thought in their hearts that everyone should not talk nonsense.
One of the spies took a bite of the prawns with courage, and then said carefully:
"Governor, the people here in Tianjin are simple and the people are rich. If the King of Yan is in charge of this place, there is nothing to bully men and dominate women."
"Is the King of Yan so well?" Zhang Liang grabbed the food and said in confusion.
"What about the local aristocratic families who cooperate with the actions of the King of Yan? No one has come out to make things difficult for the King of Yan because they are a tiger?"
"Make trouble for King Yan..." Hearing this, the spies present couldn't help looking at each other.
Finally someone stood up and said with a little nervousness,
"As far as we know, the Youzhou family has been much more restrained since the King of Yan came, especially the several families who followed Yan to farm, graze, and invested in Cangzhou. Almost all of them bowed to the King of Yan.
Of course, there are also several aristocratic playboys who sometimes occupy their families and do whatever they want in Tianjin, but they are eventually thrown into the mine by bad people to mine!"
"Those families in Youzhou didn't respond?" Hearing this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"No of these aristocratic families came out to cause trouble!" the spies replied,
"The head of the family even announced that the playboy had insulted the family on the same day and was directly expelled from the family tree.
It is said that these aristocratic families invested a lot of money in Cangzhou. If they hate King Yan and were kicked out of the entire system, they would be afraid that the family would be ruined.
As for the son, there are more than one person anyway, and it will be kicked by a mere playboy."
"Are you so cruel in aristocratic families doing things?" Zhang Liang looked at Cen Wenben with confusion when he heard the news from the spies.
After all, he was a poor peasant and had nothing to do with the aristocratic family. He really didn't know the rules of the aristocratic family.
If it were him, if his son was arrested, even if he didn't like his adopted son very much, he would have to get his adopted son back, otherwise he would have lost all his face.
Cen Wenben silently picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and in his heart he understood the behavior of the small family.
After all, for the aristocratic families, for the sake of the family's survival, not to mention a playboy in the family, even the head of the family said that they would give up just because they gave up.
It is natural for everything to be done for the development of the family. The so-called character, any aristocratic family that has survived for more than three hundred years in the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, then don't talk about character.
Especially for the northern families, who have never knelt down for foreign races and who have never licked with foreign races. Basically, they have time to serve in foreign race regimes to maintain their family status. After all, they are alive and not shabby.
Now, just throwing away a playboy can maintain the favorable feelings between the family and the King of Yan. More importantly, it is to maintain the interest relationship between the two parties. What's so unwilling to bear to do?
Even if you want to blame, you can only blame this playboy for being in bad shape in some places, but you just want to find Tianjin City.
The entire Youzhou family knew that Li Tai was harsh on the rules of Tianjin City.
It is really open here. No matter who you are, not to mention literate, even if you just have a lot of strength, you can live well here and even have hope of getting rich.
But at the same time, the rules here are also the most stringent, which is naturally nothing for poor people. But for guys who are already accustomed to being domineering, it is really uncomfortable to stay in Tianjin.
Because if you violate Tianjin's regulations, you will basically be sent to the mine to do hard work, which is enough to make the local playboys shuddered.
Especially those who only serve one quarter or half a year in prison, even if they are strong and muscular at the beginning, they are basically skinny and have no eyes after they come out of the mine.
From then on, this person became much more cautious and humble, and he could speak with a kindness whenever he saw him.-
At least in Tianjin City, when the elders see that their younger generation is not good, they will say:
"If you are not good at your behavior, be careful of being caught by the King of Yan and let you suffer."...
To some extent, Li Tai's reputation was a bit of a murder.
Of course, for Zhang Liang and Cen Wenben, as long as the King of Yan did not do anything that was angry with the heavens and people were resentful, this was just a serious attention to punishment, and he really didn't take it seriously.
After all, for them, the most important thing is to see that the newly built city is rich and prosperous.
At this time, the boss came over and said, "You guys are the seafood you sent to the sea today. Guests can try it out!"
As he spoke, he saw the boss sending a very huge squid up. The squid tentacles were thick with arms, which made the people present a little stunned.
"Such a big squid!" Zhang Liang looked at the squid and sighed a little, "I don't know how it's chewy!"
Zhang Liang said that, then went over and grabbed the squid's tentacles and took a bite with the sauce. He felt that the chewy taste made him feel fragrant. Zhang Liang said, "Eat together."
Let's eat together, this squid tastes good!”
Zhang Liang, who was present, knew his governor's personality, and was not polite, so he pulled the squid's tentacles and started eating.
No one has ever felt such delicious seafood, but they have started to eat it.
However, Cen Wenben felt that eating like this was really insulting, so he carefully picked up a little with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He chewed it very gently, and he could chew it vigorously.
Zhang Liang said to the boss at this moment, "Boss, this thing tastes good, I'll give you another one tonight."
"Oh, I really can't do this!" The boss said immediately.
"These precious ingredients are not available every day. You need to wait until the ship that goes out to sea comes back to determine what will happen.
It is best if the ingredients are picked up by Ding Chu of the King of Yan Mansion, and the remaining ingredients are the ones we Tianjin shops are buying from each other.
So we shops don’t know when and what will happen, so we can only wait until the boat comes back to know.”
"How long will this boat come back?" Zhang Liang couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
"I usually come back once every two days. If you wait for a day, you will have the same delicious food. But I don't know what it is. I can only wait until the boat comes back before I can tell you!" The owner said quickly.
"Two days? Are all the boats by the sea fishing on the same day?" Cen Wenben asked in confusion.
"That's true!" the shop owner nodded, "The sea is boundless, no one knows what happened.
Moreover, Goguryeo is the other side. Sometimes their boats will come to harass them, so the fishermen tied up the boats with iron ropes.
First, we can take action together to take care of it, and second, we can drive away the fish and catch them when we are rushing to the sea."
"So that's it!" Cen Wenben nodded in understanding when he heard this.
After all, this is facing the sea. Even inland seas like the Bohai Sea, the wind and waves are not easily resisted by ordinary ships.
Although the military now uses retired ships as fishing tools for some local veterans, the number is still too small, so local people generally choose to go out to sea collectively and carry out offshore operations together.
"In addition, the King of Yan also issued a subsidy called insurance to the ships that went out to sea collectively?" said the owner.
"Insurance?" Hearing this, Cen Wenben and Zhang Liang couldn't help but look at each other, with a little confused.
"Huh?" the shop owner nodded, "Every time someone who chooses to go out to sea collectively, just pay a fee.
If something happens to their ship at sea, if there are fishermen around them testify, or if they don't come back in a year, their families will be able to compensate a new ship.
Because this fee is not much, many people who choose to go out to sea will pay a fee even if they just want to be at ease. This thing is called insurance by the King of Yan. For poor families,
It's life-saving.
That is, after the insurance appeared, more and more people were willing to sail out to sea gradually.”
Li Tai tried to introduce property insurance to these boatmen, which meant to encourage local people to rely on the sea to eat.
Li Tai knew that the people, especially the fishermen, had really little ability to withstand the risk of strike.
In this case, through property insurance business, the ability of the people to face risks can be effectively increased, especially to protect the boat but not the people. This is really a great encouragement for local fishermen.
As for Li Tai, he did not implement insurance, and was afraid that he could not afford to pay. To be more precise, he did not overestimate the moral bottom line of people in this era.
For the people of this era, when they find that their death can bring a lot of wealth to their families, they might just die for Li Tai to see.
After all, the status of the people is so low that they think they dare to die as long as they are worth it.
In comparison, as long as the boat is damaged, whether it is repaired by itself for these fishermen or directly rebuilt a boat for these fishermen, it is an important basis for the fishermen to continue their lives.
After all, Li Tai encouraged these people to go out to sea, rather than encouraged them to commit suicide.
In fact, for Li Tai, Li Tai is willing to accept the occasional damage to fishing boats.
After all, my own shipyard has just started, and no one has come here to customize the ships.
Therefore, these damaged ships of coastal people should be regarded as materials to add experience to their shipyards.
Of course, for Li Tai, ordinary people's ships will not suffer too much regardless of whether they have anything to do. As for the insurance share they handed over, they only have a little money and they don't make much money.
But for the local people, the insurance proposed by Li Tai is the greatest good rule for them who are almost penniless.
The only shame is that Li Tai only provides protection for ships that fish in groups, which is also the reason why more and more fishermen participate in group fishing in Tianjin and Cangzhou areas.
After all, there are many fish going out to sea in groups, and the risks are small, and there are insurance provided by the King of Yan.
"The King of Yan attaches importance to the people and implements benevolent government!" Cen Wenben couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.
"Who said no!" The store owner nodded repeatedly when he heard Cen Wenben praise King Yan:
"Our Tianjin City was just a few broken villages. That is, after the King of Yan came, whether it was established or the richness of Tianjin City, it was brought by the King of Yan. This is the case for us Tianjin people.
clear.
Last year, the King of Yan recruited his own soldiers, and all the strong men from all over the country went to sign up. Unfortunately, the King of Yan only accepted young people under the age of 20, otherwise I would go there!"
Zhang Liang and Cen Wenben looked at each other. They knew very well that with the current development of Tianjin City, the people of Tianjin City must be grateful to Li Tai from the bottom of their hearts. In their eyes, Li Tai's
It's God!
After the store left, Zhang Liang said, "It seems that this Tianjin City doesn't have to stay for too long. With the King of Yan itself, he is a wise king. Under his governance, there are probably no ghosts and monsters in this Tianjin City!
”
Cen Wenben nodded at Zhang Liang and said, "Governor Zhang can stay and stay by himself, but I have been ordered by a saint and need to record my experiences in Youzhou City. I just hope that the governor will remember to bring someone with me when he returns to Chang'an.
.”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say! Drink, drink!"
