The Pu clan has begun a real migration, migrating from Guangzhou to Quanzhou.

There is a difference between the geographical location of Guangzhou and Quanzhou, the two places are still underdeveloped, and officials depreciate more to go to these places, and Guangdong really wants to rise, it has to be the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Quanzhou is in the north of Guangzhou, closer to the south of the Yangtze River, and closer to Bianliang, the center of power, and Quanzhou produces good porcelain and tea, so in the Song Dynasty, Quanzhou's trade was much more developed than Guangzhou.

But from another point of view, the imperial court's control over Guangzhou is not as good as Quanzhou, so these Hufan merchants put the first choice to settle in Guangzhou, which is also the safest and most convenient choice.

For example, the Pu clan came to Guangzhou from Vietnam, and after slowly developing, they migrated from Guangzhou to Quanzhou, which is very in line with the law of foreigners' steady and steady progress.

It is only a matter of time before a giant businessman like Depu comes to Quanzhou to develop. If they can really gain a foothold in Quanzhou, the Pu family will completely gain a foothold in the East.

In fact, the Pu family in history is a very far-sighted family, and it is also a very capable family, and the decision-makers are also very courageous. Even if they turned against each other at the last moment of the Song Dynasty and were angry from the perspective of the Chinese, from their own point of view, it was actually a very wise and successful choice.

After all, the Pu family is a foreigner, they are protecting their own interests, and it is understandable that they chose to stand with the Mongols when the Great Song Dynasty was in decline, and they want the glory and wealth of the generations.

From this point of view, the Pu family is actually quite a wise family.

But the words also speak, the enemy is the enemy, and as a Chinese, there is no angle to talk about.

Gan Qi gave the money to Cai Ji, asked Cai Ji to pay the shares of the shipyard, and also asked Cai Ji to buy a lot of porcelain tea, and even silk things from Jiangnan, which filled the two ships.

The fleet set off, from Quanzhou to the south, through Guangdong and Guangxi, through Hainan into the South China Sea, through Malacca, across the Indian Ocean.

In terms of business, Gan Qi is too lazy to worry about it, and he also knows that this trip will not lose money, even if his two ships sink in the middle of the way, Pu Zhigao will not be able to let Gan Qi lose money.

Gan Qi had more important things to explain to Pu Zhigao.

Ganchi wanted two things.

The same is cotton, the origin of cotton is India and Arabia, but in India and Arabia. This thing looks inconspicuous, but it has a great effect on use, especially in a place like China, which is extremely wide-dimensional, and many areas are extremely cold places, with cotton, it can not only promote social development, but also promote the improvement of the army's combat effectiveness.

So Gan Qi asked for a lot of cotton seeds, and he bought as much as he could.

There is one more thing, perhaps more important than cotton. That is a kind of rice, Champa rice, in the Indochina Peninsula, in Vietnam. It's just that no one has been paying attention to this thing.

Why is Champa rice so important? Because it belongs to the tropical rice species, it has a characteristic, that is, it can be ripened twice a year, what does it mean? In other words, a paddy field can be planted twice a year and harvested twice.

The period when Champa rice entered China was actually the Song Dynasty, but it has not yet come, let alone really promoted.

Ganchi wants to speed up this move into the city, which is very suitable for growing this kind of two-crop rice in many subtropical regions of China, in many places where the summer is long and very hot. This will greatly increase the grain production in the south.

Therefore, Gan Qi would rather not have any spices as expensive as gold, but also want this kind of tropical rice seed, which can be transported by as many ships as he can, and purchased with huge sums of money.

Of course, the two-season rice also has the disadvantages of the two-season rice, one is that the taste is a little worse, and the other is that the yield is slightly lower, but the two crops together, the yield is far more than the traditional Chinese one-season rice. Unless Yuan Longping pushes the hybrid rice to a high level, he can defeat the two crops of rice.

In this era of food shortage, poor taste is not a problem at all, so Champa rice is equivalent to no shortcomings, Gan Qi only hopes that when the fleet returns, there will be a large number of rice seeds, which can be promoted in Quanzhou immediately, and Quanzhou is a place that is very suitable for two crops of rice.

Two-cropping rice is a big killer, and a large increase in grain output will allow us to liberate the productive forces even more.

Quanzhou, in Gan Qi's mind, can actually be called a special zone, he wants to make this place where capitalism really began, he wants to see the germ of industry here. Because it is so suitable here, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the commerce is developed, the handicraft industry is developed, the mineral resources are also abundant, and the foundation of everything is there.

All this must be implemented step by step, and the most important thing now is to implement the matter of cotton and Champa rice, and when the agrarian civilization can greatly increase grain production, the power that will burst out is unimaginable.

With a longing in mind, Gan Qi personally went to the port to see the fleet off.

Gan Qi was also a little anxious, anxious that his official was too young to match many of the things he wanted to do, and he wanted to be a big official and be in power.

Gan Qi, who was in a hurry to be promoted, couldn't wait to go to Bianliang City when the customs tax in the first month of Quanzhou came out, and even advanced the time for escorting the tax.

Tu Qiu's family property was also cleared, and the cash was 860,000 yuan, plus many things sold, a total of 970,000 yuan. Together with the customs revenue of 190,000 guan in the first month of Quanzhou, a total of 1.16 million guan.

With so much money, Gan Qi sent Zhi Kexing to escort two hundred men and horses into Beijing. Only by land, not by water, to avoid any mistakes.

Before leaving, Gan Qi also summoned Zhe Ke Xing to give a good explanation, and even encamped and stayed in the hotel, and even stipulated that Zhi Ke Xing must be on the official road throughout the whole process, and no shortcuts can be taken......

Quanzhou, a small coastal city in Fujian, can collect nearly 200,000 customs taxes a month, which probably stunned the old emperor.

Gan Qi also made it clear that there are two peak seasons for customs revenue every year, one is when the northwest monsoon occurs and the other is when the southeast monsoon occurs. The northwest monsoon is the season for going to sea, and the southeast monsoon is the season for the fleet to return to China.

As long as the matter of customs revenue is really on the right track, it is that in these two seasons, Ganqi is sure to receive two or three million tariffs.

How amazing is that? It's almost comparable to Bianliang, even if it's a little worse than Bianliang, it's not much worse.

Quanzhou's commercial tax is comparable to Bianliang, this kind of thing, who dares to believe it in the entire Great Song Dynasty?

The old emperor in Tokyo, looking at the first come, opened his eyes wide, and asked Bao Zheng: "Is what Gan Daojian said true?" Is that true? ”

Bao Zheng believed in Gan Qi, and Bao Zheng, who was the third envoy, was also very excited at this time, and a rare smile appeared on the big black face, and the smile was not very good-looking, and he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the arrears are already on the way back from escorting, how can this matter be fake?" It must be true. ”

The old emperor raised his hand and was about to shoot the case, but he stopped in mid-air again, and asked: "Bao Qing, can't you coax me about this matter......

Bao Zheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, even if he wants to coax, he can't make so much money, even if he robs, he can't rob so much money, he still has to be the governor, if he coaxes, he will sell all the properties in Bianliang City, and he can't make up so much money." ”

The old emperor believed it, and put down his hand to shoot the case, and made a loud sound of the case, and said: "Born to be Gandaojian, born to be Gandaojian!" I have this good talent, it is really the sky with eyes, and I will protect the Great Song Dynasty for thousands of years. ”

Bao Zheng also smiled: "In the twilight of the old minister, it is also an honor to have this disciple." ”

The old emperor had already stood up and said, "Spread the will, promote Gan Daojian to invite a doctor from the Wupin Dynasty, and give him a red official robe." ”

Gan Qi's purpose was achieved, the court invited the doctor, he was a civil official, and it was an honorary title, but the grade was real.

Bao Zheng hurriedly replaced Gan Qi to thank him: "The old minister is here to thank His Majesty for Gan Daojian's holy family." ”

"He should be he, a lot of great achievements, how to get promoted is not an exaggeration, there is Ganluo in ancient times, twelve years old to make Zhao, count to earn more than a dozen cities, worship as Shangqing. Now there is Gan Qi, when he first entered the office, he has repeatedly made miraculous achievements, and when he returns, he should be promoted. The Gan family has produced young geniuses since ancient times, and now they have produced geniuses, which is for the sake of beauty. "The old emperor is really happy, he has been an emperor for decades in his life, in fact, there are two things, one is to fight with Western Xia, and this matter is not very successful. Another thing is to find ways to open up sources and reduce expenditures, make more money, and save money. There have also been reforms to this end, but they have not been very successful.

Suddenly, a Gan Qi came, and suddenly one of the two major events in his life was almost solved, which shows the excitement of the old emperor at this time.

Bao Zheng laughed with him, and his heart blossomed, he actually didn't expect Gan Qi to be so capable and give him a long face.

Gan Qi was promoted again, and the news reached Zhao Zonghan's ears.

Zhao Zonghan went home excitedly, and couldn't wait to say to Zhao Shu: "Brother, it's amazing, Dao Jian has made great contributions in Quanzhou and has been promoted again. ”

Zhao Shu's first reaction was to ask: "It's only been a few months?" Can the poor and remote places of Quanzhou also make great contributions? ”

"It's true, I heard it with my own ears from the people of the ministry, saying that it was a matter of customs taxation that made meritorious contributions." Zhao Zonghan said.

"Jinshi in the middle of the junior high school, how many months has it been? In October, you wear a red robe? Zhao Shu was still a little incredulous.

"Isn't it? The people in the ministry were also surprised, and they were buying official uniforms and orders for Dao Jian, and they had to engrave a new seal. In fact, when Zhao Zonghan first heard the news, his reaction was the same as Zhao Shu's, thinking that others were joking.

"My mother-in-law, Dao Jian, Dao Jian, such a good talent, has become our son-in-law, it is really God's help, Xianfu, you hurry up to Dao Jian's mansion and take this good news with the little sister, so that the little sister is also happy, so that it is good to stabilize the fetus. Dao Jian, a child, must be raised well. Zhao Shu was happy, but also shocked. Since the Great Song Dynasty, there has never been a person who has been promoted like Gan Qi.

Zhao Zonghan nodded: "I'll go now, first go to the street to buy some good supplements and send them together." ”

Zhao Shu suddenly raised his hand: "Later, I will also inquire again to see what is going on with Dao Jian's promotion, and the details must be clarified, and I will report it back to me." ”

Zhao Zonghan arched his hand and rushed out.

Zhao Zonglan's belly is really getting bigger and bigger, and in more than three months, she will give birth, and now the eldest sister Zhao Zongmei will go to Ganqi's house if she is fine, just because she is afraid that Zhao Zonglan will have three longs and two shorts.

Zhao Zonghan came over with the news of Gan Qi's promotion, and Zhao Zongmei, who was very arrogant, shouted directly: "Set up wine and wine, and set up a big banquet at home tonight." Go and call all the students and disciples of Mr. Gan, and call my Wu Chengwu as well. I have to invite the ladies and ladies of each family to set up a few seats in the inner courtyard to accompany the little sister to be happy. ”

The guys are busy this time.

Gan Qi, who didn't know that he had been promoted again, suddenly did something that shocked the whole Quanzhou, that is, to raise a flag to recruit soldiers.

Quanzhou should have had an establishment of more than 1,000 forbidden carriage troops, but now the number is still far behind, and Gan Qi is ready to recruit the establishment.

The place of recruitment, not in Quanzhou City, but in the following counties, the counties under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou, the further to the northwest, the more hilly and mountainous, the mountain people live not easy, Gan Qi has improved the salary, it should not be difficult to recruit soldiers.

There are also several iron factories in Quanzhou, and there are many craftsmen and miners in them, and it is also an excellent choice to recruit such people to enlist in the army.

Gan Qi wants an army in hand, Quanzhou, a key place, 500 people are too few, 1,000 Gan Qi feel that it is too little, Gan Qi even wants to play in Tokyo and expand the establishment. Even if this twist and turn has not yet reached Tokyo, Ganqi is ready to recruit as many troops as possible.

The extra people don't necessarily have to occupy the forbidden compartment, as well as the tax collectors and the yacha, these are what Gan Qi himself can say. The number of tax collectors is to be expanded to at least 1,000 people, and the number of officials is to be expanded.

Even Ganchi himself was ready to use the name of recruiting shipwrights and sailors, and even in the name of recruiting shipyard guards, to form a paramilitary force to plan for the future fleet.

Speaking of which, Gan Qi is just going to sharpen the knife in his hand.

Anyway, it's just one thing, pay money, ask for people, and be treated preferentially.

With the official position of Quanzhou Zhizhou, Gan Qi has no restraints in everything he does, occupies the righteousness, occupies the name, does not violate the law, and does not exceed the law.

Five hundred is too little, five thousand, Gan Qi should be more satisfied for the time being.

On this day, Gan Qi was in a good mood, and suddenly called Pu Zhigao and said that he wanted to go to sea to have a look.

Pu Zhigao was also excited, looked at the weather early, prepared the boat, and just waited for Gan Qi to get on the boat.

When Gan Qi arrived at the dock, there were as many as 100 people behind him, including ironclad soldiers and children of the Cai family.

After getting on the boat, Pu Zhigao asked: "Today's wind and sunshine are beautiful, how far does Gan Xianggong want to go to sea?" ”

Gan Qi replied directly: "Let's go to Lieyu first, and see how your Pu clan lives on Lieyu?" ”

Pu Zhigao didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "I moved most of the Dingkou here, and the house is still being built, it just so happens that the little girl is also in Lieyu, and I will go to Lieyu today. ”

Landlord friendship? The word sounded a little sarcastic, but Gan Qi didn't say anything, just laughed, stood at the bow of the boat, and waved his hand: "Set sail!" ”
