Zhao Hao's edict was quickly met with an enthusiastic response from the officers and soldiers of Quanzhou, but of course limited to the difference in cultural level, the things obtained were also far apart, and some were just a sketch with simple lines drawn on it, and tried their best to mark the rivers, mountains, houses, fields, and roads in symbols that everyone could understand. If the level of pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info is high, it can not only draw the general situation, but also annotate the text, mark the position, make a rough estimate of the water depth and height, and even attach a text to further explain the population and folk customs here.

Also due to economic strength and vision, some soldiers have never been out of their hometown, but they are familiar with the local geography, which can be said to have been engraved in the bottom of their hearts, so the map drawn is also more detailed, down to the point where there is a well, a small road that is inaccessible. And some of them are local wealthy squires, and their footprints must be much larger, and they have some knowledge of the countryside outside their hometown, and the map drawn is large and clear, but it is not so detailed.

Of course, it is not without a high level, for example, Cai Wanyi once served as the official of Quanzhou City, and he knew the situation inside and outside the city very well, and made a detailed demarcation of the location of the streets and shops and yamen inside and outside the city; Liu Zhu once served as the commander of the navy, and he was clear about the ports and waterways around Quanzhou, and the maps he drew were naturally clear, more reliable, and of higher practical value.

Faced with the hundreds of maps and materials that suddenly appeared on the case, Zhao Yu was a god and had to be confused, let alone screen them one by one. Therefore, he urgently set up an 'editorial committee', chaired by Liu Zhu and Cai Wanyi, with Jiang Zongjie, Cai Qiao, Lin Zhiwu and other generals and scholars from Quanzhou as members, to sort out and compile these materials in accordance with His Majesty's regulations.

In order to complete the drawing of the map as soon as possible, he asked everyone to use the puzzle mode to carry out the general map, first draw a rough general map, expand outward with Quanzhou as the center, and fill in the blanks until the rough map is completed. Then draw a sub-map of each district and county, and this should be more detailed, more accurate, and use uniform proportions and legends, until the sub-map can piece together a more detailed map of land and sea.

Of course, it is not enough to have a map of Quanzhou alone, Zhao Yu also ordered the Privy Council and the armies to dedicate the map of the sea area from Qiongzhou to Quanzhou for revision, because there are unforeseen circumstances, once you encounter a storm, you must choose a nearby place to shelter from the wind, and you also need to replenish fresh water and rest along the way, which requires more detailed information, and can not be sloppy. On the other hand, in addition to ordering the Secretariat to step up the collection of intelligence along the route and Quanzhou, the Privy Council and the Navy also sent scouts to reconnoiter the garrisons and the hydrological situation in the sea area.

At the same time, Zhao Yu considered that in this operation, the enemy water army they faced was only the Quanzhou water army, they were the main force of the Pu family's private army and the left wing army, but the strength was far worse than Ali Hague and Liu Shen, not to mention that Zhang Hongfan was recruited to destroy part of the destruction in Yashan, so the combat effectiveness was limited, he did not expect a large-scale water war to break out, and the land battle was the protagonist of this battle.

In this battle, Zhao Yu was ready to use the strength of the three armies of the guards, with nearly 40,000 soldiers, although they may be replenished in Quanzhou, but they may also get nothing, so they must bring enough grain, grass and baggage, and use a large number of baggage ships. In addition to preparing to dispatch the Baisha Naval Army, he also transferred baggage ships from the rest of the armies to transport supplies, considering that for long-distance voyages, it is best to have a good ship with wind resistance and suitable navigation, which needs to be coordinated from the forbidden army in front of the palace. In addition, in the name of the Military Aircraft Department, Zhao Yu also ordered the Capital Theater, the Ordnance Supervision and the Chang Ping Division to quickly raise the required materials and send them to the Haikou Military Port......

At the same time that the work was in full swing, it was also time to look at the Japanese court, and after accepting the worship of hundreds of officials, the queen mother issued an edict to disperse the dynasty and summon the people to discuss the affairs of the ruling palace. After only listening to a few words, the Queen Mother became sleepy and returned to the palace first, and handed over to His Majesty to preside. The ministers sent the Empress Dowager away and resumed the proceedings, and by this time everyone had realized that the little emperor had gained the full trust of the Empress Dowager, and he began to delegate power to His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, the matter of selecting the site of the salt field has already been decided, and the Ministry of Industry, with the assistance of the local state and county, has surveyed most of the beaches, and screened them, thinking that the three places are more suitable, and please ask Your Majesty to decide!" Qi Yaqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Salt Farm Site Selection, said first.

"Well, Qi Shangshu, please speak, I will discuss with you Aiqing." Zhao Yu nodded and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Qi Yaqing got up and saluted, "The ministers selected three places according to His Majesty's imperial decree, one is in Yangpu, Danzhou, where there are villagers drying salt, but the method is cumbersome, the output is very low, and the area is narrow, which is not enough to meet the requirements of large-scale production, but it is better to have skilled salt workers, and they can produce after taking over the transformation; There is also a place where the water enters the sea in Le'an, Yazhou, where the tidal flat is vast, and the sea concentration is the highest, and the two mountains are sandwiched, which can avoid wind and rain. It's just that it is located in a slang land, sparsely populated, even barren, and the transportation is inconvenient, and everything needs supplies from the outside world! ”

"The other is in the west of the island, where the tidal flat area is very large, the land that can be developed is not less than 10,000 acres, and the transportation is convenient, and there are villages and towns around, which is easy to develop. It's just that the amount of salt is slightly less than that in Yazhou, and it may be invaded in case of high tides. Qi Yaqing breathed a sigh of relief and said again.

"What do you think?" Zhao Yu nodded when he heard this, and glanced at everyone.

"Your Majesty, I think that Yazhou Le'an Water is the best, although it is barbaric, it is easy to transform, and it is the most profitable, and it can be used as the primary place!" Wen Tianxiang got up first and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Danzhou is more suitable, there are already salt workers there, rich experience, just mobilize manpower and a little transformation can generate income as soon as possible to make up for the lack of the imperial court." Lu Xiufu disagreed.

Zhao Yu was about to be bad when he heard it, and the two first assistants successively expressed their positions, which had already set the tone for the location of the salt farm, so the people below could only choose one of the two, and what was even more troublesome was that the two people had different opinions, and if they didn't get it right, they would be divided into two factions and start arguing. At this time, it is often no longer a choice of where it is better, but it turns into a battle of will, which is not conducive to the resolution of the matter, but will delay the right thing. If he participates in it, he will cause the two ministers to misunderstand which side they are favoring.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's best to Changhua Army!" Just when Zhao Yu was in a dilemma, Xu Zongren, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, got up and said, "Your Majesty has an edict on the location of the salt field, and there are three conditions, and only the Changhua Army meets two of the three. ”

"The minister thinks that Xu Shangshu is reasonable, and the Changhua Army is the best under the trade-off!" Ying Jieyan also got up and echoed...... (To be continued.) )
