Chapter 70 Nothing to Say

There are three bays and twelve ports in Quanzhou, and the "three bays" are Quanzhou Bay, Shenhu Bay, and Weitou Bay, in which each port has four branch ports, which are combined into twelve famous ports of the Maritime Silk Road.

Among them, Fashi Port is one of the 12 ports of Quanzhou's three bays.

Song shipping and shipbuilding industry is quite developed, and Fashi Port is only 15 miles away from Quanzhou, which is the closest port to Quanzhou, so Fashi Port is the most important port in Quanzhou.

Fashi Port passes through the south of the pass, and the outside is connected to the big fall, which is a place where business and fishing must pass.

The Meishan Wharf located in Meishan Village, Fashi Port, also known as "Meishan Ferry", guards the throat area at the intersection of the river and the sea.

Meishan Wharf is the only way for Quanzhou people to go to sea, and it is also a transportation artery for overseas merchants, Hu merchants or Song merchants to trade and exchange

Meishan Wharf can reach Shihu Lake and Gusaota Tower in the distance, and internal navigation can directly reach Nan'an River and other inland rivers.

There is a stone pier platform built at the riverside of Meishan Wharf, which is stacked alternately with the method of "one ding and one shun", is about ten zhang long, about seven or eight zhang wide up and down, and the east and west sides of the pier are each attached with a stone structure slope road in the north-south direction, which extends to the river to the south. The base of the pier is gradually retracted from the bottom to the top, and the outer wall is inclined to accommodate large ships in deep water.

At this time, hundreds of merchant ships were moored on the sea outside the Meishan Wharf, and large and small merchant ships from all over the Song Dynasty or overseas gathered at the Miyama Wharf, waiting in line for verification and entering the port.

On the wharf, there are many merchants, Hu merchants, men, porters, coachmen, small servants, etc., everyone is busy, there are those who inspect the goods, there are those who bargain, there are those who carry the goods off the ship, there are also many officials who inspect the goods, approve, etc., and there are many Han merchants who specialize in the business of Hu merchants are busy pulling business, it is a busy scene.

"The terminal is still too small and needs to be expanded in the future." At this time, Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, was surrounded by the officials of Quanzhou Prefecture, stood on the dock, looked at the gathered merchant ships, and frowned.

I don't know that Li Sanjian is enjoying the beautiful scenery of Quanzhou Wharf and is touring the mountains and rivers, but the real situation is that Li Sanjian comes to Quanzhou Wharf every day to calculate the number of overseas or Song merchant ships that come to Quanzhou.

On this day, the largest number of merchant ships came to Quanzhou, as many as more than 100, so the wharf was crowded.

"Not only to expand, but also to build a water village here, stationed a boat division, to garrison Quanzhou." Li Sanjian continued.

Expanding the dock? Water Village? Boat Master? Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, at present, it costs money to expand the wharf and water village, and it is necessary to hire a large number of people, but at present, the Quanzhou Prefecture is so poor that it is very poor, where is the extra money to do these things?

And the formation of the Quanzhou boat division is even more troublesome, and regardless of whether there is money to form it, the imperial court may not allow you to form a larger boat division in Quanzhou.

The biggest problem in the formation of the boat division is the warship, whether the Quanzhou Prefecture has the ability to build large and small warships, and whether there is money to build them, these are unknown.

At present, Quanzhou also has a boat division, but the Quanzhou boat division is not so much a boat division, but a fleet, for the fleet of the Quanzhou Maritime Inspection Division, there are only dozens of large and small ships, among which there are even fewer warships, almost none.

However, this is the meaning of Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, so no matter what, record it first, so Li Gang, the secretary of the Quanzhou Prefecture, took out a pen and paper and recorded what Li Sanjian said in detail.

"The expansion of the wharf, the construction of the water village, and the stationing of the boat division can be postponed, Li Zhizhou, at present, the price of rice, grain and other things in Quanzhou is still high, and the top priority is to stabilize the price of grain, otherwise... Otherwise... The consequences are unpredictable, Li Zhizhou, I really can't hold on for a few days. Quanzhou Tong sentenced Cui Yongzi to Li Sanjian with a sad face.

Over the past few days, Li Sanjian has ordered all the large and small yamen in Quanzhou to go all out to purchase rice and grain, which not only caused the prices of rice, grain, and other goods in Quanzhou to skyrocket, but also exhausted the little money that the Quanzhou Prefecture Yamen and Quanzhou City Boshi had borrowed, and even the 50,000 yuan borrowed by Li Sanjian was almost consumed.

At present, the rice grain and other things in the warehouses in Quanzhou are piled up. . .

And "work for relief", relief, resettlement of a large number of displaced people caused by the floods in Quanzhou, etc., which of these do not require money? Don't need rice grain?

What made Cui Yongzi and others feel most depressed was that Li Sanjian also held "Dragon Boat Race", "Tangram Festival", "Mid-Autumn Festival" and so on, which also consumed a lot of money and food from Quanzhou Prefecture...

"Cui Tongju rest assured, it will be in the next two days to solve this matter." Li Sanjian smiled slightly when he heard this.

Easier said than done! Cui Yongzi not only did not feel a little less worried when he heard this, but became more and more worried.

The reason is that the Quanzhou Prefecture Ya's move is almost desperate, if there is no effect, and it does not have any effect, it will make starvation all over the place, it will make the hungry people take risks, so that the people will revolt, the previous looting of the rice shop incident is a symptom, at that time it was just Li Sanjian sent troops to forcibly suppress it, but this matter can only be suppressed for a while, but can not be suppressed for a lifetime.

At this time, not only Li Sanjian Zhizhou has done it, but even Cui Tongju will be implicated, and the entire Quanzhou government will be implicated.

In this way, how can Cui Tongju rest assured? How can you not be unusually worried?

"How's the house going?" At this time, Li Sanjian seemed to be reluctant to mention this matter more, and asked about other things instead.

Therefore, Li Sanjian has already ordered people to collect houses in various places, such as Taoist temples, temples, official houses, and private houses, as long as they can be collected, and at the same time, Li Sanjian also ordered people to temporarily build many relief places to resettle the victims.

"Back to the words of the governor of the state." A state official replied: "Xiaguan and others have collected more than 100,000 houses from public households, private households, temples, Taoist temples, etc., and more than 20,000 houses have been temporarily built. Ay... ”

It's just that it's money again, and it's a matter of money, at this time, Li Sanjian and Cui Yongji secretly said together in their hearts.

At this time, there were more than 30 people affected by the flood in Quanzhou, and it took a lot of money, manpower, and material resources to provide relief and resettle these victims.

"Money will always work out." After Li Sanjian said a word, he looked at the Quanzhou dock and was silent.

"Hundreds of thousands of victims, no matter what, need to be allowed to live, and the death or injury is our sin, and the first of their crimes lies with our own officials." After half a ring, Li Sanjian sighed and said: "Food and shelter are the key to relief, and there is one more thing that must not be ignored, that is, the epidemic has occurred due to the disaster, if the epidemic breaks out in a large area, the consequences will be unimaginable, so this matter must not be ignored, if you ignore this matter, this official will be severely punished, Xu Medical Officer, what can you do about it?" ”

"Back to Li Fuzun's words." When Uncle Xu heard this, he replied: "The key to curing the epidemic is nothing more than to cure and separate, and his subordinates have been ordered by Li Fuzun to gather a large number of doctors, buy medicinal materials, and distribute them to the sick after boiling, and at the same time plan to collect a large number of vacant houses, and if they find sick people, they will immediately move into the houses, and let people take care of and observe, if they find sick and dead people, they will immediately burn them to prevent the spread of the epidemic, but... ”

It's just that it's a matter of money again, Li Sanjian is simply speechless, since Li Sanjian entered Quanzhou, he has encountered the problem of money all the time.

Xu Shuwei is currently appointed by Li Sanjian as the official of the Quanzhou Prefecture Government, and at this time, due to the epidemic caused by the flood, Li Sanjian made Xu Shuwei mainly responsible for this matter.

Xu Shuwei and his grandson Rouniang have superb medical skills, the most important thing is that they all have a "doctor's benevolence" and are the most suitable candidates, but at this time they are encountering the problem of money.

How can you buy medicinal herbs and so on, and you don't need money?

"You don't have to worry about money." Li Sanjian nodded and said to Xu Shuwei.

Li Sanjian casually walked over and patted Xu Shuwei and said: "Yes, the first thing to prevent epidemic prevention is to prevent people from spreading from person to person, not only to prevent the spread of the epidemic among the victims, but also to prevent the doctors from being infected, so it is also more important to do a good job in the protection of doctors, soaphorns, 'masks', white gauze and other things must be prepared." In addition, try to use all methods to get rid of mosquitoes, flies, fleas, cockroaches, insects, and so on. ”

This is no alcohol in the world, no high alcohol, so Li Sanjian ordered people to prepare soaphorns and other materials for disinfection, although it is not satisfactory, but it is better than nothing.

"Li Fuzun!" Speaking of this, Uncle Xu asked with great confusion: "The husband and the sick are all born in the wind, and the Fujian is windy and miasma, and the disease and illness are caused by evil qi, that is, the invasion of external evils, why do you use soaphorn, 'masks', and white gauze?" It is also necessary to get rid of mosquitoes, flies, fleas, cockroaches, insects and rats. ”

"Wind? Wind Evil? Li Sanjian shook his head when he heard this: "You just need to do what the official says, and as for the reason, the official will talk to you in detail in the future." ”

In fact, Li Sanjian himself could not explain clearly, or immediately overturn the conclusion of the cause of the current disease, because Li Sanjian could not find evidence to overturn the theory of the cause of the current disease.

The so-called words are unfounded, Li Sanjian has no evidence, and he will inevitably be regarded as a monster, and no one believes it at all, including Xu Shuwei and Gongsun Rouniang, so Li Sanjian can only force them to do so at present.

"Subordinates obey!" Xu Shuwei was still full of doubts, but in desperation, he still accepted the order.

As a result, the epidemic in Quanzhou was fundamentally controlled due to flooding, while other state capitals had a large-scale outbreak and could not be controlled, so that Xu Shuwei, Gongsun Rouniang and others had to convince Li Sanjian.

This is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.

At this time, an official hurriedly walked to Li Sanjian's side and said a few words.

"Well, Cui Tongju, how about you come with me?" Li Sanjian nodded, and Cui Tongju said.

"Hey, let's go." Cui Tongju still has a sad face...
