Needless to say, the Chinese's love for the land is unparalleled. Therefore, there is no objection to Shanglin Village's investment. But Fushan is different. It is difficult for many people to understand that it is land that cannot be farmed, so what is it for? Is there no point in investing like that?

Qin Bai's idea may be quite good, using saline-alkali land to grow pasture grass and develop a concentrated aquaculture industry. However, there is a need to consider the traffic problem. In the big cities that don't have a lot of spending power nearby, who are the livestock sold to? There are no ice storage refrigerated trucks, can you drive cattle and sheep for hundreds of miles? So no matter how high the value is, it can't be sold?

As mentioned earlier, in addition to part of Qin Bai's private property, part of the silver earned is Yongsheng's public property. Although Qin Bai was basically able to make a decision with one word, in many matters, the other brothers also had some right to speak. In particular, the accounts of the public accounts are public. If the other brothers unanimously objected, it would be difficult for Qin Bai to go against the will of the people.

In the end, this matter was finally resolved, and the key was that Qin Bai made a big concession. simply classified all Shanglin Village as public property, and Fushan became all his private property. And the investment of Fushan Institute was all settled by Qin Bai privately. In this way, it is completely divided.

……

"Dare, I'm going to go to Xiucai with Gaozi. It may take more than twenty days to go back and forth, and here you and Tiezi will have to spend a little more time. Qin Bai instructed Li to dare to say. He still attaches great importance to the back road he has prepared.

"Huh? Second Brother Bai, do you really want to go? Li Dang asked suspiciously, "Who should receive the Jiangnan merchant who came in a few days?" ”

"It's you." Qin Bai didn't care what kind of guest came at all. Now it's a seller's market, and matches can be sold as much as they can produce. And the price has already been set, and whoever talks about it is actually the same.

"That'...... How many people are you going to bring? I've heard that the road is not easy to walk. ”

"Bring 100 and escort 50 families. Don't forget to go to the yamen to buy Zhang Luyin, and it's best not to have trouble in private. ”

Speaking of which, with 100 guards, plus 6 or 70 strong men from 50 households, ordinary gangsters would never dare to provoke. Not to mention, it will also borrow the name of Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall.

And this time, Qin Bai carried 20,000 taels of silver with him, as well as more than 20 truckloads of materials, and he gave people and money to give away, just to speed up the construction of Fushan Institute. If you don't take a look at it yourself, you always feel uneasy.

But if all of them are guards, it will be too eye-catching, and they are all armed and strong. Not only the rivers and lakes, but even the government will wonder if it could be a horse bandit pretending? Therefore, the old and weak women and children in the 50 households are also a kind of cover. And after the migration, it can also reduce some of the pressure on Jingjiazhuang.

Now that Qin Bai has already decided, Li Kang will not say more. He laughed, "Be careful on the road." I'm still waiting to drink the wine of you and your sister-in-law. ”

"Huh."

……

This should be the first time Qin Bai walked in the countryside of the Ming Dynasty. In the past, I lived in either Laizhou City or Jingjiazhuang, which was relatively a relatively prosperous place.

Due to the prosperity, there is some order, whether the order comes from the government or is formed in the rivers and lakes, at least there are rules to follow, and it will never bring any sense of chaos.

However, when he first came to the countryside, Qin Bai's first feeling was that it was vast. As a modern person, it seems that there is a city everywhere, and it seems that the countryside outside the city has no impression. But when I really went out of the city, I found that the city was just an insignificant point, and the traffic arteries were just a line, and the vast rural areas were too huge to be effectively controlled, especially in ancient times, such transportation and communication conditions. Therefore, the imperial power is not lower than the county, and the government and the squire govern together, which is actually a very helpless choice.

Therefore, the theory that the countryside surrounds the city is extremely plausible. However, we must not be dogmatic in everything, and we must pay attention to seeking truth from facts. If you put it in this era, fantasizing about fighting local tyrants, dividing the land, or overthrowing Confucianism, this is absolutely impossible. Even if you force it, it's not much different from suicide.

Why? It's just not that condition. Do you have an internet phone? Or at least a radio call? What about trains? What about road cars? There is nothing, so be sure to rely on the local squires and scholars. Generally speaking, the local squires and scholars are basically a group. And if they divide their land? Destroy their Confucian ideology again? Aren't they desperately resisting?

Perhaps it is possible to rely on force to eliminate all these squires and scholars. But what happens next? Even if you build a new education system yourself, it will take decades, right? Could it be that during this blank period, when an official document is delivered, the group of illiterate people can sing a tongue twister?

So, you can fantasize about it. But after seeing it with my own eyes, I realized that it was just a fantasy.

The second feeling is poverty. That's really poor to the extreme, and that's not what modern society sees as poor. If you really want to talk about it, the poor people in modern society are already rich peasants who have no worries about food and clothing in this era.

For example, on the roads, except for beggars, women are rarely seen, and women are rarely seen working in the fields. You know, it's spring ploughing time, and it's the busiest time in the countryside. Generally, the whole family is mobilized, so why are there no women to work?

The key is that you can't show your head if you don't cover your body? It may be an exaggeration to say that the whole family only has one pair of pants, after all, Shandong here is still a relatively wealthy province. But having a pair of pants in good condition for everyone in the family is an absolute dream. There were no patched rags in the house, so the women had to stay at home.

Of course, small feet are also a big problem. Quite ignorance, and ignorance and poverty often go hand in hand. It made Qin Bai can't help but scold his mother. You say, it should be some kind of perverted bad taste of the scholar class, and if they want to play like this, let them play on their own! But what are you going to do with it? The women are all weak, and in disguise, there are a few fewer laborers in the family.

Anyway, these things are nothing more than complaining about one or two, after all, it has nothing to do with the current Qin Bai at all, he only needs to take care of his own people. Fortunately, this road is still relatively easy to walk, as long as you follow the abandoned Jiaolai Canal Ancient Road. Along the way, there are many towns where you can rest and stay, and you can constantly replenish your supplies.
