Chapter 136: The Promise

"Two pounds? You are crazy. ”

In my impression, Jiang Cai rarely reprimands him like this, and Liu Yu rarely sees him angry, thinking about it, facing them as civilian officials, naturally he will not be like in the army, but today he doesn't think he is wrong.

"Eat a catty, give a catty to your family, give each person half a tael of salt, and if possible, add some meat and vegetables every few days. This is a very physically demanding job, how can it be done if you eat less and do it slowly? ”

He strangely spread his hands and said, in the Song system, ordinary soldiers in the army have to eat two liters of rice a day, which is almost more than three catties, and there are subsidies under various names, how can there be more for the number of workers.

"Ziqing, it's no wonder that you are in a hurry, what you said is reasonable, but you ask you, the number you said is sufficient, right?"

Jiang Cai shook his head, this young man is sometimes extremely shrewd, sometimes he is confused, how can a sergeant compare with workmanship, and besides, which sergeant did you see really get the number on the book? It's not that he wants to deduct military rations, but the money and grain allocated by the imperial court every year are not enough.

If you really want to give this number, the sergeants under him will be envious, so who wants to be a soldier? Liu Yu was mentioned by him, and he also reacted, and he was idealized again.

"Besides, you can't just send this rice, such polished rice, go to the land on the other side, one bucket can be exchanged for three buckets! You don't care about this matter, hand it over to someone, someone in the army will deal with it, rest assured that it will be recorded, and no one in the army dares to stretch out his hand. ”

Liu Yu nodded, he has always been only responsible for the big picture, and he will not do trivial things, since Jiang Cai is willing to take over, he is also happy to be idle.

At this moment, outside Qiongshan County, it has become a large construction site, not only the field of the crossing point, but also the passage connecting the county, Liu Yu saw the situation, the field has been leveled, several cows pull the big stone grinder on it and press it repeatedly, as soon as it is concave, it is filled with loess, and then pressed over.

This is only part of it, Lingao side has also begun to move, the original road will be widened, according to his meaning, this road will be paved with concrete, and the same as the wharf, as a model project, his transportation volume is only so large, can only be close to these first, and then consider the problem of building a factory for its own production in the future.

He came here just to explore the way, and did not bring anything, according to the plan, this place and Lingao City Boshi belong to the same place, will be large-scale construction. If possible, Liu Yu would like to directly demolish Qiongshan County and start over, but unfortunately this is not a top priority now.

"Do those people need to use it?"

In the procession of carrying the soil, Liu Yu saw some men dressed in Yiren, and he pointed and asked casually.

"It's okay, but there are some contradictions with the locals, and there are often quarrels." Jiang Cai didn't say anything, now there is not enough manpower, these manpower is still there, but it is not easy to manage, it is not good if it is heavy, it is not good if it is light, it makes him have a headache.

Liu Yu can imagine what is happening, this kind of work is at the door of his own house, and now that it is not time to harvest the seeds, the locals will definitely have some complaints, blaming them for robbing the rice bowl, this is nothing, even in the future generations, it is impossible to clear the view of the region.

When the projects are carried out one after another, I am afraid that they will not say anything, and everyone will have a job to do and make money, and all the contradictions will be resolved. When the captives arrived, the island didn't know how lively it would be, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't know what was going on over there.

"A few days ago, Yang Fei intercepted a big food merchant ship, and even brought the boat to Shuizhai, that person shouted injustice, will there be trouble?"

Jiang Cai didn't know what to see about such a scene, so he turned the topic to the waterway, the Fan people had all the procedures, and the Great Song Dynasty had always been tolerant of them, if it made trouble, he himself was not worried, he was afraid that it would affect Liu Yu's plan.

"Oh, where did he go?"

There was news so soon, Liu Yu was interested, and now it is only a month away from the trade wind, so it is not surprising that someone set off early.

"Quanzhou, there are still documents issued by the city department over there, this batch of goods was set last year, it seems that he is in a hurry."

"Did he mention the Pu family?"

Liu Yu was not interested in his plans, he only cared about this.

"How do you know, he is doing business with the Pu family, good guy, a shipload of spices, and a variety of valuable things, this ship is only afraid of no less than 100,000 yuan."

Jiang Cai, who doesn't care much about money, can be staggered, of course Liu Yu can imagine the value, his family sold so many shops and fields to get this amount, people are just a boatload of goods, as far as he knows, the best spices can be sold for more than a hundred taels in Jingshi and other places, this amount is only afraid that it is still underestimated.

But since it's the Pu family, then there's no need to be polite, if it's not for the worry that the matter will spread and affect the future plan, he wants to directly detain the boat and arrest people, and the landlord's family is also short of money.

It's not time yet, he has to wait until the other party makes a move, so he can act justifiably, wait, I believe that such a big movement, that person will definitely not be unaware. Didn't he say "the enemy doesn't move, I don't move, the enemy wants to move, I'll move first", he has his own eyeliner staring, don't worry.

And in Quanzhou City, Zhang Qingyun is having a headache for this target person, unlike that thorny summer, this person's range of activities is centered on home, and his home is in Fanfang, not facing the street, surrounded by the residence of the Fan people, it is very difficult to get close.

"We can only observe secretly at the corner of the street, this person sits on the shoulder when he goes out, and once the curtain is lowered, he can't see clearly inside. Today, there was a person who sat on his shoulder and entered the house, and if he hadn't come out and found out that it was not him, he would have almost made an oolong. ”

What his subordinates said was the truth, they couldn't be too obvious, and there was no way to guarantee that they wouldn't be negligent, Zhang Qingyun knew that they did their best, but they couldn't blame it.

"Then what is the identity of the person who entered and exited the mansion?"

The problem could only be put down for the time being, Zhang Qingyun turned to ask another question, most of the contact with this person will also be related, he wants to start from this.

"He looks like a fan, but he doesn't live with them, and listening to the people around him, he seems to be a man of some kind of color, running a shop in the city, and he hasn't been here for long."

The expression of his subordinates was a little frustrated, this measure is not easy to grasp, in order not to startle the snake, they do not have too good means, in this way, they do not get much useful information, so that he himself feels very dissatisfied.

Zhang Qingyun was taken aback, those foreign races here are generally called "Fan people", in fact, they are also from many different countries, with different dresses, languages, beliefs and so on, but the title "Semu" is rare, because it comes from the north.

"Where is his shop in the city? What sells inside. Zhang Qingyun asked quietly.

"Not far away, just two streets past here, it seems that the goods of women are being sold, cloth, beads, incense, and so on."

The subordinate recalled that such shops were inconspicuous in the city, and that the streets were full of them, and that business seemed to be average, and that he closed the door when he left, and only opened it when he returned.

This description reminded him of something, this is an interesting person, Zhang Qingyun decided that he should take a look, this person can go to the door of the Pu family, there is something to make friends with, or, there will be unexpected gains.

"What do you think of him?"

In Pu Mansion, Pu Shougeng just sent people out of the house and returned to his big house, like the Song people, he also likes to get a study out, and then talk about some secret things there.

"'Flowers in the mirror, moon in the water'."

In addition to him, there is only this cronie named Sun Shengfu in the room, the latter shook his head, promising that this kind of empty talk has no meaning now, Quanzhou is located at the southern end, and it is still in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, how many obstacles will the Yuan people have to break through, and when the time comes, the daylily will be cold.

"But it can impress those who are watching."

Then he said that Pu Shougeng understood what he was referring to, not all the people in the city were with him, and some people were grateful to the owners of the land and were unwilling to betray them.

Even if it is himself, he doesn't have to tear his face, if it is like before, everyone makes money safely and steadily, what difference does it make to be a courtier, but now, he feels more and more uneasy.

Today is not without gain, from the man's mouth, he confirmed that the Yuan people do have the intention of going south, which coincides with the news he heard, this time is not like last year, I am afraid that I have to seriously consider the problem of the back road.

In the past, the Song people's religious tolerance policy allowed the people of the city to live and work in peace and contentment, and they also brought a lot of wealth and prosperity to the city's economy. If the Yuan people were not like them when they were on the western expedition, he believed that the Tibetan people would definitely adapt to the situation, and the man himself promised this.

It's just that "far water can't quench the thirst of the near", and now you have to rely on yourself, the period of the trade wind is coming, and everything has to be solved before that, but the Yuan people will definitely not launch it at this moment. Pu Shougeng frowned tightly, twisted a bush of beard and was silent.

From Sun Shengfu's point of view, his master is no different from the Song people, except for his appearance, he is no different, and his behavior is the same, which is why he follows.

"Haigong, don't worry, the people who went to Qiongzhou have been dispatched, and there will be news back soon, and it will be clear when the time comes."

"Well, the king's people are impatient to wait, so give him the number. Let him go back and bring a word, as long as Pu is still here, tomorrow's dedication should be added to another one, and it will always be the rule. ”

No matter what you want to do, it is a must to stabilize the head of the Jingshi, it seems that this time there will be some blood, Pu Shougeng thought of this, and simply be generous, isn't it just a promise, he will. R1058
