After scaring the snakes, they thwarted the conspiracy of the state prison riot carried out by the four surnames in a hurry, but Han Qian knew in his heart that their foundation in Xuzhou was still shallow and too shallow.

At this time, they could not even count the initial control of Qianyang County, and the main officials of Langxi and Tanyang counties have not come to Qianyang City to see his father so far.

At present, Xuzhou has only passed the agreement formed before, and all parties have maintained official correspondence without interruption, but it has only made Ning'an Palace and the prince's family unable to directly put pressure on them through the ministry for the time being.

This also doomed his father to be in Xuzhou, and he could only barely maintain the operation of the state government at present, but it was difficult to do anything if he wanted to.

If an official letter goes down, if it can be in line with the interests of the big surname Qianghao, it may be possible, or it will be a piece of waste paper.

However, there are also advantages, that is, what his father wants to connive at in Xuzhou, it is difficult for the big surname Qianghao to use public weapons to prohibit it.

For example, the homeless people built embankments to reclaim the silt land privately, and according to the law, it was forbidden by the government, but Feng Changyu, Feng Jin, father and son did not dare to return to Qianyang City, and the county government yamen was almost paralyzed, and if the state government turned a blind eye, it would inevitably not be banned.

Even if the public is encouraged to raise ducks and poultry, it can only be guided by the situation, and it is difficult to use official letters.

It is impossible for Han Qian to stay in Xuzhou for too long, but there are too many things to do, and it is definitely not possible to follow the rules, so he can only go sideways.

In the next days in Xuzhou, Han Qian mainly focused on canvas and tarpaulin, in addition to the restaurants and restaurants in Qianyang City, which was also something he could promote in Xuzhou in the short term.

On the one hand, the textile handicraft industry and weaving technology in the world are relatively developed, and it is one of the few industries that can be developed on a large scale in the pre-industrial era or agricultural society.

This provides the necessary conditions for the mass production of canvas and tarpaulin.

In addition to the wives and daughters of the soldiers who accompanied Han Qian and them to Xuzhou are all good at weaving, and they also use this as a profession to subsidize their families in Jinling, there are also weaving experts in Xuzhou, but Han Qian asked Ji Xiyao to hire people from the families of the jailers and low-level officials of the state government to fill in the weaving institute of Caochuang, which can also help his father strengthen the stability of the jailers and the state government.

The thick canvas and tarpaulin, in addition to being able to build sails, are also very widely used in the world, even if the civilian market needs to be developed slowly, but only for military use, the use is huge.

Tarpaulin weaving, in addition to trying to use different plain or thread, or single or multi-strand weaving, but also to try different origins of cotton, linen materials for comparison, it is convenient to make samples, more than ten days to weave twenty or thirty kinds of samples.

Han Qian didn't expect to be able to achieve it overnight, at this time, he just chose the best of the inferior, and tried to make sails for training first.

At this time, there were no ready-made large looms in Xuzhou, and the sails were spliced with small pieces of tarpaulin, and as far as the wind of the Yangtze River and inland was concerned, there would be no problems in a short time.

The renovation of the three sailing ships is also going on as scheduled, but even if the hull is not changed, even if the craftsmen of the state engineering institute can be used for free, some materials stored by the state capital can be stolen, and the structural strength of the hull will be strengthened, the deck and side of the ship will be covered with cooked cowhide, and the female wall arrow buttress will be installed, etc., and the cost will still be like flowing water.

The mast was not replaced, but even with the double width of the sail's transverse façade, the operation of the new sail was much more complicated than before.

With three sailing ships as the mainstay, the main purpose of forming the Xuzhou Boat Gang was to deter the river bandits along the way.

And the method of water warfare with the sailing ship as the core to fight against the river bandits and water bandits is naturally very different from Yang Qin's previous tactics of using black ships and sneak attacks on civilian merchant ships.

Han Qian is also omniscient and omnipotent, he doesn't have much energy to take care of these, so he can only lead his subordinates to constantly adapt and make new attempts.

In addition to Gao Shao, Tian Cheng, and Zhao Wuji leading 20 Zuo Si scouts, who continued to stay with Han Qian, responsible for scouts, escorts, reconnaissance and intelligence collection, etc., Guo Nuer and Lin Zongjing led 30 Zuo Si scouts, all of whom were assigned to Yang Qin's subordinates, and first learned sailing operations and water warfare on the open river north of Qianyang in Yuanshui.

Nearly half of the Zuo Si scouts led by Guo Nuer and Lin Zongjing are the children of domestic soldiers who have been trained by Han Qian for more than half a year, and they have a strong ability to adapt and learn.

There are more than 30 people under Yang Qin, and it seems that they are all elite Shui Kou, but in addition to being physically stronger and fighting alone, they are actually far from being compared with Guo Nuer, Lin Zongjing and other soldiers.

Yang Qin even had to use the help of Guo Nu and Lin Zongjing to know how to use the formal method of formation to control his subordinates.

The method of water warfare is mentioned in many military books brought by Han Daoxun to Xuzhou, but the descriptions are quite brief, and they need to be compared with the wild roads that Yang Qin has mastered over the years, and complement each other. In these aspects, Guo Nuer and Lin Zongjing also showed a strong ability to adapt, which put great pressure on Yang Qin's shoulders, and he was worried that one day Han Qian would let Guo Nuer and Lin Zongjing directly replace him in charge of the boat gang.

Although Yang Qin was a little reluctant to agree to form the Xuzhou Boat Gang, since he agreed, Yang Qin definitely did not want to be replaced. No matter how hard he worked every day to supervise the construction of warships and train for water battles, he had to take time to go to the Furong Garden to meet Han Qian to report the progress, so as to show that everything was under his control.

However, Yang Qin didn't know that Han Qian was worried about money and food.

The wealthy family often raised hundreds of servants, and the cost was huge, while Han Qian wanted to raise the elite, although the number was less than a hundred, but the cost was even greater.

He just arrived in Xuzhou, and collected a windfall of nearly two million yuan, which seems to be a lot, but he took half of it for his father to support the operation of the state government, and the rest was used to prepare for the construction of the shipyard, weaving yard, and transformation of war sailboats, and he also secretly supported Feng Xuan and Gao Bao, and this money was only squandered by him for more than half a month.

Even if the miasma dispelling wine is quite effective, asking Han Qian to blackmail an additional two or three hundred thousand yuan, it can only support seven or eight more days.

And the settling-in fee and reconstruction fee to support Yang Qin's rebuilding of Yangtan Water Village in Qianyang, no matter how small it is, it will start with millions of dollars, which has not yet considered whether Yangtan Water Village should hire people to reclaim the silt land on a large scale!

Han Qian dreamed these days, dreaming that someone was surrounding him to force debts, and the restaurants in Qianyang City were noisy, so he simply ate the overlord meal.

Even if it was difficult for Han Daoxun to fully control the situation in Qianyang City at this time, Han Qian had to give him a smile when he ate a few overlord meals in Qianyang City.

The vast majority of the slightly famous restaurants and restaurants inside and outside Qianyang City are the industries of large Hakka households, and naturally they are also full of complaints, but Han Qian fulfilled his promise to the prince of Tanzhou before entering Dongting Lake.

He entered Xuzhou with his father this time, just to collect the place, no matter whether he was a native or a guest, he didn't fall into the toss.

Han Qian tossed the restaurant, and also named duck dishes, and especially liked to eat duck tongue, often requiring the store to slaughter thirty or forty ducks, just for Han Qian to make a dish.

Han Qian was surprisingly picky and dissatisfied, and would pull the chef back to Furong Garden to reprimand; Han Qian even let out the news that if Qianyang City was a restaurant or an ordinary person, only whoever could make a duck that could make him eat happily would be rewarded with 10,000 yuan.

Han Qian still gave a real reward every once in a while, and he really promoted the demeanor of the second ancestor to the extreme in the way of eating.

Han Qian's toss with such a sword is that the authentic practice of famous dishes such as osmanthus duck, smoked duck, and roasted duck has spread rapidly inside and outside Qianyang City.

Whether it is a restaurant or an ordinary person, the level of duck dishes has been greatly improved, which has stimulated the local duck eating scale in Qianyang to surge in a short period of time, and in only half a month, it is already necessary for traders to buy ducks and duck seedlings from other places to supplement the local shortage.

It's just that these are far from solving Han Qian's dilemma of short financial resources.

His plan to lure the displaced people into Xuzhou did not spread from Xue Ruogu, Li Tang, and Qin Wen, and there was not the slightest movement in Tanzhou, but Han Qian couldn't just find someone to let out the news, he wanted to avoid this matter from reaching the ears of the four surnames too early.

By the beginning of August, seeing that there was no movement in Tanzhou, and Han Qian really only had a few copper plates left in his pocket, he could only change his plan and find the restaurant he had tossed, suggesting that the owner of the shop or introduce a willing landlord only needed to hand him a sum of money, and he could let go of the barren beach outside the city to reclaim, and as long as his old man was in office, the state and county would definitely not interfere.

According to the practice of flattering the old system in the previous dynasty and the imperial court, if no one intervenes within three years and the reclaimed wasteland is ripe, the prefecture and county will acquiesce in the fait accompli and confirm it when updating the field register.

The world's affection for the land is too strong and heavy, and the assassin Shi Gongzi personally came out to act as a broker, and even left a handwritten note in the form of a loan, how could no one be tempted?

In the past, the native surnames were worried that the reclamation of the silt land would cause the Hakka power to expand in Xuzhou, and the prefecture and county also forbade private households to encroach on these barren lands that could be used to expand official and vocational fields.

It's just that the rain is flooding in summer and autumn, and there is no large-scale embankment and cofferdam, and only a small piece of barren land is stolen, and it is difficult to save the new field.

In recent years, the scale of private land owned by the guest has not expanded at a large rate.

At present, almost all of the local people have been scared out of Qianyang City, and the state and county yamen are in chaos, and there are already people, especially the big families near the bay beach, who are already tempted to secretly do something on it.

Not to mention the rest, secretly moving out the ridges, expanding the field boundary, secretly replacing small acres of land with large acres of land, and a middle-class family secretly adding three or five acres of land, not a neighbor, it is really undetectable.

As soon as he arrived in Xuzhou, the effect of sending scouts to spread rumors about gold mines in various places gradually became apparent at this time.

The boats and boats going back and forth in Qianyang City unload passengers in Xuzhou, and there may be three or five more people a day, or ten or eight people will not be too obvious, but there are thousands of households in Qianyang City, counting the official posts, there are also three inns with low grades and mainly shops, such a small city, there are more than 200 small outsiders in most of the month, which is enough to attract attention.

Han Qian also intended to guide these people to two abandoned gold mines in Xuzhou.

Although the two gold mines were abandoned more than 80 years ago, they were mainly due to the collapse of the mountain.

After that, it was not reopened, also because the two gold mines had been developed for two or three hundred years, and the production before the collapse was already very low.

However, since it is a gold mine, and after nearly 100 years of weathering, some gold sand will be precipitated in the lower parts of the nearby streams.

Although the Jinsha River still does not have the value of organizing people to pan for gold or open mines on a large scale, hundreds of people will flock over, and there will always be people who have something to gain and gain.

As long as someone has income, don't care about the ratio of manpower to output of the overall input, under the windfall effect, it will inevitably attract more people to flock to it.

It really didn't work, so Han Qian considered whether to secretly sprinkle some gold sand every other corner to boost the morale of these gold diggers.

Just thinking that this was another extra expense, Han Qian's heart ached.

However, it is necessary to use the windfall effect to deceive people on a large scale.

When these people gradually come to their senses, some of them will return to their hometowns, but most of the people they can attract for the windfall effect are still landless and unemployed, even if there are no gold mines, and as long as Xuzhou gives them hope to stay, most of them will stay and provide sufficient labor for the reclamation of silted land, mineral development, and various factories......

Han Qian was not worried that there would be a few people in the world who could see through his calculations.

The mechanism behind this strategy, which was born out of the enclosure movement and the phenomenon of sheep driving people in later generations, was very different from the previous wave of refugees due to war and famine, and even if his father knew about his plan, he was more worried that the influx of a large number of displaced people would make the situation in Xuzhou a mess and out of control.

In fact, as long as you are human, you will inevitably actively seek a way out.

The situation formed in the early stage of Xuzhou, as well as the conditions of its vast land and sparse population and abundant natural resources, will be conducive to the establishment of these people with strong survival ability.

The only problem is that Han Qian is afraid that Tanzhou will not bite and fish, and one day he will suddenly seal the mouth from the lower reaches of Yuanshui, and he can't take the valley passage on both sides of Yuanshui, and it will be too difficult to think that in a short period of time, there will be thousands of Taoyuan to cross hundreds of miles of mountains and enter Xuzhou.

Han Qian looked for the owner of the restaurant and wantonly sold the right to land reclamation, and was anxious to collect the scrape on the one hand, but more importantly, he thought that the owners of the restaurant were mostly large customers, and they were not only closer to Tanzhou, but also the inside line arranged by Tanzhou......

Han Qian could only use this method to forcibly stuff the bait into Tanzhou's mouth.
