In the southeast region, after the weather in Huangmei has passed, if there is no typhoon, the scorching sun will naturally hang high and the heat will be extremely hot.

If you want to go out in this weather, Qian Yuan can't wait to be topless and wear big pants!

In this era, it's easy to be afraid of the cold, the stove and the soup woman can be warmed, and no matter how bad it is, you can wear an extra padded jacket, right?

But I'm afraid of the heat, it's really fatal!

You can't strip it off, can you?

Even if it is stripped and cleaned, it is still hot, in the era of no air conditioning, Qian Yuan really can't wait to peel off a layer of skin!

Therefore, the genius was slightly bright, and Qian Yuan went out in a hurry, and made an appointment with Wang Zhi today to go to Hou Taoshan for a turn.

Now it is a bit difficult to make an appointment with Wang Zhi, this spring breeze is proud, to put it mildly, before he went east to the country, many big households in Ningbo were going to rely on his nose...... There is no way, the trade channel was pinched to death by Wang Zhi.

This is also the reason why Qian Yuan chose Hou Taoshan as the place of trade this time, and why Wang Zhi was not allowed to dominate the channel.

In addition, there are many Huizhou villagers in the governor's mansion, and they chatted with Wang Zhi quite speculatively, and this guy sprinkled a lot of gold, and he didn't know how many benefits he gave away, Luo Longwen estimated that he had made a lot of money.

However, Wang Zhi is also very busy, Qian Rui refused to go ashore even if he died, so Wang Zhi had to come forward to discuss the matter in detail...... Everything else has been negotiated, and now we are busy with the surrender ceremony.

"It's okay to get by on the face, the key is still here!" Qian Yuan pointed to Hou Taoshan and sneered: "I have told you everything, to worship the Buddha is to worship the true Buddha!" ”

"That's what Longquan Gong said." Wang Zhi smiled and nodded.

Longquan Gong ...... The corners of Qian Yuan's mouth trembled, he was only in his twenties, and he was Longquan Gong!

"Alright, let's go while it's still hot." Qian Yuan quickened his pace, he won't climb the mountain today, but he will go around Hou Tao Mountain.

First, go all the way to the north, and walk to a small lake, Qian Yuan silently calculated in his heart, it is about four miles away from the Yongjiang River.

"How?" Qian Yuan turned his head to look at a short, middle-aged man behind him, this was the bell clerk of the Zhenhai County Yagongfang.

Ningbo has rivers in one place, there are several big rivers, and many local officials are proficient in water conservancy, which was recommended to Qian Yuan by Song Jizu of Zhixian County.

"This lake is long and narrow, only four miles away from the Yongjiang River, and it is not difficult to dig a canal to lead the Yongjiang River." The bell clerk stood on tiptoe and looked, "But the two ships in parallel will cost a lot of manpower, at least more than three months." ”

"But once it rains heavily, it's easy to get waterlogged." The bell clerk looked in a different direction, pointed to the north and said, "If the other end of the small lake can be connected to the river, it will be safer." ”

Qian Yuan touched his chin, he didn't care about this, sighed and waved his hand: "Then let's talk about it later." ”

Xu Bixi, who only came ashore yesterday, said: "Lord Qian, in the past, when porcelain went to sea, it was wrapped in soybeans, and there was little damage. ”

"Soybeans...... Oh, sprouts? Qian Yuan suddenly realized, "This is a good way...... It can also be eaten to increase vitamin ...... You won't get sepsis, kill three birds with one stone! ”

Originally, Qian Yuan was going to dig a canal and build a warehouse around the small lake to store porcelain...... He is really indescribable about the quality of the roads in this era, when he moved from Huating to Hangzhou, at least one-third of the porcelain brought by his family was broken or cracked on the road.

The group bypassed the small lake and entered Hou Tao Mountain from the north, the mountain was getting higher, there were many hills, and there were big trees to block it, Wang Zhi looked around, "This piece is not bad." ”

Xu Bixi brought several old people in Ligang nodded in agreement, although there are many hills in this area, but it is generally flat, and there is Hou Tao Mountain in the east to block the sea breeze, which is a good place to build a warehouse.

Qian Yuan didn't know much about this, but he knew that the treasury was used for merchants' inventory, so Wang Zhi must be interested in these things, and he didn't bother to ask.

In the end, a total of three places were selected, two of which were not far away, that is, the paved road was a little far from the pier.

The construction of the warehouse is simple, but it pays attention to a lot, the material is made of stone or wood, the window is opened in what direction, and it is necessary to prevent moisture, rain, waterlogging, fire and wind.

It's okay to be like porcelain and cotton, but it's not okay to put silk casually, and tea is even more ...... Tea is easy to dye, not to mention damp, even if you put it in the kitchen, it will smell of oil smoke when you brew it.

Building roads is a troublesome thing in later generations, and it is not easy in this era, Wang Zhi and Qian Yuan have rejected the loess road, once it rains, the ground is muddy, and there are puddles everywhere, which is difficult to pass.

When the road is built with gravel, the carriages and ox carts can be driven without hindrance, and the road is wide enough to allow at least three carriages to run parallel to each other.

After discussing for a long time, it was almost noon, and everyone couldn't stand the heat, so they found a shady place to rest.

"Yang Wen?" Qian Yuan greeted while drinking water, and Yang Wen brought over the map he had just drawn.

"Here, here, and here." Qian Yuan pointed on the map, "Small forts must be set up in these places, and the treasury is heavy, and it is not allowed, and outsiders are not allowed to enter." ”

"That's what Lord Qian said." Xu Bixi praised: "There was a warehouse fire in Ligang back then...... The losses were very heavy. ”

These trivial things Qian Yuan can't be compared with the maritime merchants who have been immersed in this way for more than ten years, although he was a foreign trade company in his previous life...... But customs clearance is outsourced, and the goods are sent directly to the bonded warehouse, and Qian Yuan is only familiar with the process.

Under the shade of the tree, the guards moved a few stones, Qian Yuan sat down with no manners, picked up the pu fan and fanned the wind hard, and looked at Wang Zhi, who was also sitting down with a smile, "The batch of goods in Suzhou will arrive in Zhenhai in five days, so let's send it to the county first." ”

"Okay, how much tax should I pay...... Oh, just deduct it. ”

Qian Yuan snorted, "Here we repair the city, repair the wharf, build the warehouse, repair the road, and the people give food...... You quote the number, don't expect to deduct a hundred years. ”

"No, no." Wang Zhi laughed and said, "But...... I heard that everything was presided over by Tang Jingchuan, a fellow knowledge of Taizhou? ”

"If there is no mistake, I will soon be transferred to the prefect of Ningbo." Qian Yuan said casually, and then whispered: "The goods in Suzhou ...... said that he would leave a little for Qian, that Tan Qizhi would not go back forever, right? ”

"Probably not, right?" Wang Zhi touched his head, "Mr. Fang said before, Lord Qian sent guards to accompany him?" ”

"Hey, we all know a little about water, but I haven't been to the sea." Qian Yuan shook his head, "If you don't go back, this account will be calculated by you Wang Wufeng." ”

"Good, good!" Wang Zhi was also speechless.

"And as explained before, the craftsmen who make bird guns and iron cannons can be delayed, over there in Luzon?"

"Someone has been sent, and no news has been sent back yet."

"Get some other exotic flowers and fruits, too." Qian Yuan remembered the letter sent yesterday, and Xiao Qi complained...... Complain that there are no melon seeds!

Xu Bixi on the side said with a smile: "Why is Lord Qian interested in Western exotic flowers and fruits?" ”

"Oh, ask him." Qian Yuan nodded at Yang Wennunu, "Didn't you praise that dish a few days ago?" ”

"Chili?" Xu Bixi looked at Yang Wen, "Mr. Yang has also gone to sea?" ”

"Before Ligang is destroyed, pick up leftovers and put them in the market." Yang Wen explained, Wang Zhi and Xu Bixi both knew the so-called sea market, and they both nodded to indicate that they knew.

"It's just a chili pepper, and I want to sell it for twenty-five taels of silver." Qian Yuan smiled and said, "I'm willing to buy it." ”

Yang Wen's cheeks moved, "Didn't the young master let the little one sign the deed of sale?" ”

"You were beaten by Zhang Songxi's apprentice and vomited blood, it was the young master who saved your life!" Qian Yuan complained: "If it weren't for the chili pepper that later made a name for itself in Beijing, you would have been a cow and a horse for a lifetime!" ”

Yang Wen rolled his eyes and was silent, he was transferred to Qi Jiguang's command a month ago, and he inquired about the enemy's family, but Zhang Songxi's disciples and grandchildren were either dead or disabled in the anti-Japanese war.

"Have a reputation in Beijing?" Wang Zhi asked curiously.

Qian Yuan bragged about the Qian family restaurant for a while, and finally said: "Your Majesty likes it, do you think Qian wants to get some strange flowers and fruits?" ”

"Oooh, that's as it should be." Wang Zhi sighed: "I remember that Mr. Fang also planted some strange flowers and fruits......

"Yes, yes, tomatoes are good, sweet and sour, and there is a lot of juice." Xu Bixi looked dying, "Ming'er asked people to go back and bring some and let Master Qian taste them!" ”

Qian Yuan nodded with a smile, "Then it's decided, I went back to Hangzhou, and Qian entertained guests in the food garden and cooked in person." ”

Wang Zhi laughed and excused himself again and again, where did he dare to let the world-famous celebrities cook and entertain guests.

's father refused to go ashore, for fear of being recognized, after all, Tan Lun had been in Zhenhai before, but the main reason was his mentality.

But Qian Yuan hoped that his father could go ashore, not to mention the rest, his mother worked hard day and night, looking forward to it, and always wanted to reunite his parents, so he found a reason for strange flowers and fruits.
