Hangou Dadi, the current Shuizhai closed, is actually a large port.
Compared with ten years ago, the number and carrying capacity of ships plying the pier are several times that of ten years ago.
Sand boats, which were originally considered controlled items, are now just ordinary civilian items.
In the last year when King Wu Wei was still alive, the number of boats temporarily requisitioned from Dadi, Hangou was as high as 2,000!
This scale is quite terrifying. If King Wu Wei had lived long enough, or if he had had ships of this size early, it would not have been a matter of forcing the Chu State to move its capital. Instead, it would have really been possible to move the Chu State.
Beat it to death and then dismember it.
It's just that there is no such thing as the source of these boats is inseparable from Jiangyin City and the huge production team behind it.
From pulley blocks to dry docks to various metal tools, even the mass production of stone tools and the extensive planting and harvesting of bamboo, everything involves technology.
From production technology to management technology, everything is inseparable from Li Jie's rich experience as a foreman.
Now, because of its developed logistics environment, Hangou Dadi is equipped to produce high value-added products.
One of them is wine.
Grain wine, which will occupy a large amount of grain, is very popular here in Dadi, Hangou.
The reason why Jia's family is not doomed is because it can produce various types of fine wine.
It can even produce high-quality liquor, but in a small amount. It is mainly used to ward off the cold and induce sweating. It is very popular with soldiers and coolies on the canal.
According to different types of wine, three different categories have been formed around Hangou: Tanggou, Gaogou and Shuanggou. The main wine produced by Jia's family is "Tanggou wine".
All technologies require the support of Yinxiang. Jia does not have the production conditions, but only has the qualifications for blending.
However, even if it is just blending, because it is sold legally, the more fierce the fight among the wealthy families in Jiangnan, the less they need to worry about wine-making crimes.
Judging from one place and one corner, it is actually a good thing that the Jia family is hiding in Jiangbei.
Relatively speaking, there is a surplus of grain, and the income from storing grain for brewing is much greater than directly selling grain.
Because the Jia family moved to the north of Tangyi, relying on the canal, they were able to go to the Jisi area and sell spirits to the Yan people, the Wei people and even the Danhao people.
Now Jia has a clearer understanding of the situation just because she has more contact with the outside world.
The entire Hangou is better said to belong to the Han family than to the Wu family.
Now, what changed from the Wu family to the Han family may not only be the Han ditch in the north of the Yangtze River, but also the Taibo ditch in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Dazai, please."
"I am old, how dare I be called the Grand Prime Minister? If I am not in my position, I will not seek to govern."
"Without the Dazai, how could the great Wu be as powerful as it is today?"
You still have to be flattered, and Dr. Jia was very respectful. Whether it was Jia Ren or Jia Yi, they were nothing but afraid of Dazai Zi.
It's crazy to think about it. How dare you plot against this old cunt?
Jia was later slapped by King Wu Wei and turned into an idiot, and she deserved it.
Coupled with the two matters of "the king's decree" and "the common people are good people", everyone in the Jia family understood the truth, why bother to dance with the king?
"Ah."
Ziqi smiled and was noncommittal. Doctor Jia was very impressed by his calm and calm look.
Today, someone will come.
There will be guests coming.
It's a distinguished guest!
Tuk Tuk.
Outside the door, there was a gentle banging sound.
Not long after, a guest came and bowed and said, "Master, there is a boat docking."
coming!
"I'm coming right now!"
With two thuds, Dr. Jia stood up suddenly, making a violent sound on the floor. He walked out for two steps, then looked back at Ziqi, who was concentrating with his eyes closed. He hesitated for a moment. When he was in a dilemma, he asked
Ziqi: "Dazai...are you willing to go with me?"
"He is not a king, and I am not a minister; that young man is my elder."
As soon as these words came out, Doctor Jia's eyebrows trembled.
It’s too cool!
The implication is that the person who comes here is not my monarch, and I am not his minister. I want to give him face? Besides, I am so old and a loyal elder. The young boy does not come to see me, but I go to see him.
He? This is a bit contrary to ethics.
This understanding is correct, but the operation is not the same.
Dr. Jia is not an old yin, so he can still live in obscurity, and he can still make a living.
Now, after all, the Jia family still lives in Tangyi of Wu State, not Han State!
What if Han Gong doesn’t like the territory of Wuhu and he just wants to go directly north to the Central Plains?
Moreover, Duke Han is indeed playing with women in the Central Plains.
He had heard that Duke Han was currently in Meishan, Zheng State, playing with a beautiful woman named Xi Shi.
Therefore, if the Duke of Han just wants to toil in the Central Plains and never comes back, then if the Jia family goes too far in public, and the Duke of Han does not come, won't he have to face the wrath of Wu?
Isn’t that the end?!
After much deliberation, Dr. Jia bowed to Ziqi to apologize, and then hurriedly left the courtyard. After going out, he got on the carriage and rushed to the port.
At this moment, there are many large ships pulling alongside the pier.
Guards came up and down one after another, and soon the guards of the palace in Gusu also began to move. The river wind made people's faces hurt. Winter is uncomfortable. If you catch a slight cold, you may not be able to survive this winter.
In the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, even if it lasts until spring, the cold and cold feeling can easily cause people to get sick.
The number of abnormal attrition is actually about the same as freezing to death.
"Your Majesty, there are no guards of honor on the shore."
"this……"
The young King Wu's face is a bit ugly. Although he is a teenager, he is very sensitive and is becoming more and more sensitive.
He felt that he had been slighted and even not taken seriously.
The Grand Attendant on the side looked as usual. He stood up and saluted King Wu Jiyi and said: "Your Majesty, the old Taizai is a minister of the late emperor, not the king. He is the biological father of the king, and the old Taizai said to his face.
We should respect his old age and praise his abilities."
It was not said euphemistically, but it instantly made Ji Hui understand that even if he did not look at the situation, he had to look at his current state.
How can a young man be on a boat by the river, waiting for an elder to pick him up with the cold wind blowing?
What's more, now it's him, a young man, who wants something from his elders, not the elders who want something from him.
call……
After exhaling, putting on a kapok windbreaker made in Yinxiang and then a mink coat, Ji Lei walked out of the cabin.
The cold wind was biting, and the river wind was as sharp as a knife. Fortunately, he was wrapped tightly, so he wasn't afraid.
After stepping onto the trestle, I heard the sound of horse hooves, and a carriage came at a gallop, with people quickly getting off. After a while, at the gentle slope between the trestle and the shore, the visitors were all standing by the road, looking very respectful.
.
Ji Lei took a closer look and knew that this was a member of the Jia family. Seeing that the Jia family was still so polite, Ji Li's mood suddenly improved a lot.
He even glanced at Da Chang Shijie beside him with some pride, but heard Chang Jie whisper to Ji Hui: "Your Majesty, this trip should not be overly joyful. You should make the old Dazai take it seriously and seek perfection and survival."
"good."
The young King Wu quickly nodded. This time he came here because he needed to get better conditions from the old Taizi.
In the current situation, there is no need to fuss, and Tai Shumao's fussing has no meaning for Ji Fei.
In fact, Tai Shumao's little bit of authority has completely lost its appeal.
This trip is about survival and survival, that's all.
