Zhao Xing shook his head and replied: "I tried to reach out on Huanqing Road, but unfortunately my ambition was not rewarded." Now that I have arrived in Quang Nam, I can only take advantage of these small southern countries...... Well, first of all, I am going to give Dali a huge bell tower, so that Dali can be bathed in the glory of the Song Dynasty, and the people of Dali will also have a concept of time.

The bell tower I gifted, the clock is very large, it should be a giant golden bell that can ring the whole city, this golden bell only Guangnan has casting technology, in order to transport this golden bell into Dali, I hope Dali can allow me to build a simple bell road.

Of course, this golden bell was not given for free, and I hope that Dali can set aside a piece of land for me to build the Song Chamber of Commerce, so that my Song merchants can enter the country to do business. Of course, my Song Dynasty has always been based on the concept of mutual benefit and equal exchanges with the surrounding small countries, so I will hand over the tax collection power of this Song Chamber of Commerce to the Dali government, and I will also promise that Song merchants must legally do business in Dali.

Well, this golden bell should also be a religious symbol, so I Song Shang was so fanatical and specially built a bell road. It is to remind Song Shang to pray on time, so the bell tower will also be a Nestorian temple, in addition, this temple is also a medical hall, free to my Song Shang and the friends introduced by Song Shang to see a doctor......

I say this, do you understand? …… It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you just have to do what I tell you to do. My credibility, you know, the two people who the Zhang family and I worked with have never been treated badly. Now add you, you and I will work together, and we will sweep the land of South Asia. Create an iron-clad foundation. ”

Zhang Tian didn't take a few seconds to make up his mind: "Brother Zhao, I only understood the two words of sending the bell, sending the bell, isn't this the end?" Dali religious conflict is serious, you let the Jingjiao into Dali, isn't this looking for trouble? The struggle for power in Dali is serious, and Song Shang is there, but he is not a big fat meat. You let the local government collect taxes, what local government? Gao Shengtai's palace, or the local toast?

I see, you're out to get into trouble...... However, I heard my brother say that my brother Zhang used the rules in Mizhou, and the benefits did not fall, this time I messed with you, whatever Brother Zhao said, I will do it. ”

Zhao Xing nodded. Pointing to the beach in front of him, he replied: "The wharf will be expanded, since you have agreed, I will send 100,000 craftsmen to build an iron factory and shipbuilding dock here from next month, and the affairs of the city wharf will be in your charge, and the transaction will be in my charge, and I will notify the Jiaozhi side to let the merchants come to your Anyuan City to berth."

Jiaozhi is not far from Anyuan, and this sea area is calm, and you can come to Anyuan from there by drawing a door panel. You just have to be patient, as long as the traffic goes up. You can sell things in Guangxi at a good price, and you can purchase cheap Jiaozhi goods here, and I believe that after a year or two of hard work, this place can prosper. ”

Zhang Tian has now been completely convinced by Zhao Xing. Zhao Xing said anything, and he nodded in agreement. Zhao Xing stayed in Anyuan City for a few more days, and only after the first batch of people he arranged arrived in Anyuan City did he get on the boat and leave.

How long does it take to build a city, the city of Paris was replanned, and it took 10,000 workers fifteen years to build the city of Paris that is still in use today. Zhao Xing didn't plan to build a Paris city, he just wanted to build a large military port. And the dock is the main object of his construction, as for the city----

The original Anyuan City obviously couldn't accommodate his new plan. Therefore, Zhao Xing planned a new city near the dock area. Several landmark buildings were built as landmarks in key places, and the remaining empty spaces were filled by citizens on their own. The workers who built the dock were after the construction of the dock area. will automatically turn into dockers and depend on the docks for a living, and they happen to be the first immigrants......

When Zhao Xing went to sea from Anyuan City, the time was already in July, and he had been adrift at sea for more than a month, and when he reappeared he landed in Leizhou, Chen Yiyi had already appeared beside him at this time.

The magistrate of Leizhou received the news of Zhao Xing's landing, and hurriedly ran with his subordinates to greet the God of Wealth. ”

The governor of Leizhou was stunned for a while, and after a while he reacted that Zhao Xing said that it was Su Zhe, and the title of Sanzhang was the title of relatives, Zhao Xing called Su Zhe like this, and the magistrate did not dare to slack off, and the governor of Leizhou immediately replied: "The transfer envoy Lord Zhang Tian has already ordered, and the lower officials will place them in the best temple in Leizhou." After the imperial court amnesty in July, Xiao Su has been preparing to buy a property in Leizhou, and has not yet confirmed which real estate to buy. ”

"Those along the river are best along the Qinglei water (river)", Zhao Xing reminded Leizhou Zhizhou.

The governor of Leizhou blinked and replied: "My lord, the fertile land near Leishui in Leizhou is the most fertile in Leizhou, and I am afraid that there is no idle field now......

Seeing that Zhao Xing's face slowly darkened, Leizhou Zhizhou immediately changed his words: "But Xiaguan must work hard for the adult, and it shouldn't be a problem to replace about a thousand acres." ”

"It's 10,000 acres!" Zhao Xing reminded again: "Or you need 30,000 acres to settle down, and you don't necessarily have to land along the river, you only need to occupy a section of the river along the river, and you can divert water from the river for irrigation, that's it, I'll worry about the rest, just the road leading to that piece ......of land."

Zhao Xing dragged out his speech, and the governor of Leizhou hurriedly continued: "This official organizes the people to repair it immediately!" ”

Zhao Xing sighed and reminded: "Now that the exemption law has been implemented, don't force the people to serve hard labor. ”

This is to the point, Leizhou Zhizhou smiled and climbed the pole: "My lord, my Leizhou is a poor county, with a small population, few taxes, and I am afraid that the funds for road construction are insufficient, I wonder if the adult's transfer department can support a little?" ”

Zhao Xing replied slowly: "Leizhou belongs to Guangxi, and originally did not belong to Guangdong...... Since Leizhou Taishou is so enthusiastic, why don't you simply build a road from Leizhou to Guangzhou to facilitate future transfers, I don't know how much it will cost to get rid of the state capital? Leizhou Zhizhou stretched out two fingers, and after a while, he hesitantly stretched out three fingers. Without waiting for this Leizhou governor to express his position, Zhao Xing had already replied quickly: "300,000 yuan, I promised." Report to the Yamen of the Transit Department immediately, and I will approve the money for you when I get back. ”

Leizhou Zhizhou showed a look of ecstasy on his face, and replied one after another: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely build that road widely, don't worry, my lord." ”

Zhao Xing raised his legs and walked towards Leizhou City, reminding intentionally or unintentionally as he walked: "The Leizhou Wharf is dilapidated, and the official offices are all wooden buildings, and this place is close to the sea." Typhoons continue every year, the official office should also be repaired, now Quang Nam is full of craftsmen who will build stone houses, if there is any surplus of this money, please renovate the official office and the wharf of Leizhou. ”

Leizhou Taishou nodded his head like a chicken, and he said with a flattering smile: "My lord, don't worry, when the officials renovate the official premises, it is a waste to throw away the excess stones, so it is better to help the people of Leizhou renovate a few houses." Rest assured, the lower officials know who should renovate the house. ”

Zhao Xing nodded lightly, appreciating the Leizhou officials for being so upright, he waved his hand and said: "In this case, Leizhou guards themselves are busy, and this official plans to relax in Leizhou City, and leave a few officials to lead the way." ”

Su Zhe is a degraded official, and Zhao Xing can't use his official identity to visit him clearly, so he can only sneak over as an ordinary person in private. Lei Zhou Shou understood Zhao Xing's scruples, hurriedly pulled over the official to give a few words, and then handed over to Zhao Xing: "Lord Zhao, please take care of yourself, and the next official will go back to the Ya to apply for a report." The lower officials are busy with official business. I won't accompany the adults, it's just a banquet in the evening......"

Zhao Xing replied with a pun: "There is no need to be publicized." ”

Lei Zhoushou hurriedly said that he understood, and then waved his hand at his subordinates and quietly retreated. After Leizhou Shou walked away, Chen Yiyi came to Zhao Xing's side and muttered in a low voice: "Xianggong, that person stretched out three fingers just now, which means 30,000 guan." Why did you give 300,000 guan all at once. Look at him and delight him. ”

Shuai Fan saw that the officials were far away, and also came over and said, "My lord." To build a road leading to Huazhou, it will take at most 10,000 runs, and repair the Leizhou wharf, at most 3,000 runs. That dog official originally planned to report 20,000 yuan, but I think he was ruthless and repaid 30,000 yuan, why did the adult give him 300,000 yuan instead. ”

Zhao Xing said softly as he walked: "What we originally implemented was a deficit economy, using huge investments to stimulate consumption and stimulate the people to increase their income. 30,000 yuan in Leizhou can not afford to play a water drift, simply invest 300,000 yuan, you turn around and whisper to Leizhou Shou, let him in addition to renovating the Leizhou wharf, the Zhanjiang wharf is also renovated, there is not enough manpower to go to Guangzhou to hire, I Guangzhou immediately entered the winter leisure, a large number of farmers in the winter leisure can not find work to do, let the surrounding counties to hire, so good. ”

What Zhao Xing did not make clear was that he had already regarded Guangxi as his own backyard, and that controlling Guangxi's army through Zhang Tian was one means, and controlling Guangxi's ethnic minorities through his generals was another method, and having the opportunity to contact local officials and control local administration was another means. Zhao Xing is not afraid of spending money, he wants to unify the forces in Guangdong and Guangxi as soon as possible, and make great strides towards a warlord with ideals, aspirations, power, and popular support.

Leizhou City is not big, several officials have led Zhao Xing through the city, to a temple outside the city, they stood at the door of the temple crossed hands, Zhao Xing looked back---- he brought the attendants did not follow, those people went to Leizhou City to rest, at this time Zhao Xing only Shuai Fan brought four soldiers, and Chen Yiyi brought more than a dozen Vietnamese maids. Looking at the attitude of the servants, it seems that the destination has arrived, Zhao Xing nodded slightly, and a Vietnamese maid stepped forward and put three "Vietnamese silver coins" in the hands of the officials.

Several officials were still thanking the maids, and Zhao Xing had already stepped forward and pushed the door open.

Leizhou city is not big, the temple of Leizhou is not big, this temple seems to be the family temple of rich businessmen and gentry in the past, the family temple is generally not to receive outsiders, it usually closes the door, only the benefactor of the temple comes to worship the Buddha, and the door of the small courtyard is opened.

In ancient times, wealthy merchants often helped build this kind of small family temple, so that when they worshiped the Buddha, they were relatively quiet, and there were no idle people who came to harass their female dependents. Family temples usually have a gatekeeper, and this gatekeeper is often an official sent by the temple builder.

The reason why Zhao Xing affirmed that this small temple was originally a family temple was because this small temple had the delicacy of a family temple, but the gatekeeper had been replaced by a monk. This kind of monk's family temple is no longer exclusive to the family. Such small temples were often jointly sponsored by several wealthy merchants. It has a lot of empty rooms, and usually earns some income by renting out houses for those who participate in the imperial examination, and when the patrons of its own temple come to worship the Buddha. They often stay in the temple.

There are officials present, and the temple inside the gatekeeper communication is relatively simple, the reward of the officials in a few words to explain the origin of Zhao Xing, because this kind of family temple is generally forbidden to idle people to enter, so the officials guarded the door, in the doorkeeper monk respectfully, Zhao Xing took people into the temple.

"Is there enough room in the temple?" Zhao Xing made the appearance of staying in the temple and asked pretendly.

The gatekeeper who received the explanation from the official replied: "Enough." My lord, there are still some monks' houses in the temple, and the old man will let them squeeze in, and let out the room for a few military masters to live, and the ladies have their own small buildings, and there are three small buildings in the courtyard that are free, and the adults can live. ”

Zhao Xing nodded, and Chen Yiyi interjected: "Go and inform the prison that we plan to stay for ten days and donate 300 yuan of sesame oil first." ”

The gatekeeper heard the number. I didn't look at the gate anymore, turned around and ran into the temple to report to the prison, Zhao Xing waved his hand to let the maid stay in the local area, and he took Chen Yiyi to the backyard slowly.

In the backyard, next to the bamboo forest, a well water wheel kept ringing, a girl dressed in yellow dressed as a young woman, was shaking the wheel to draw water, and the sound of reading came from the small building under the shade of the bamboo forest, and the reading sound was intermittent. An old voice interjected from time to time to explain the sentence. This voice is Su Zhe's voice.

Chen Yiyi coughed, and the girl on the side of the wheel raised her face, it was Chun Thirteen Niang, and she saw Zhao Xing. Bursting color: "Big man, it turned out to be you, you ......"

Halfway through the words, Chun Thirteen Niang couldn't go on.

She couldn't say it because of the existence of Chen Yiyi next to Zhao Xing, but because she wanted to talk a little tabooly.

I think that Zhao Xing promised to "catch a son-in-law under the list" for her, but now that she is married, how can she mention the agreement of the day.

Zhao Xing was ashamed to bow his hand to her, and Chen Yiyi was also in the capital at that time. Know it. She hurriedly plucked a golden hairpin from her head and took off two rings from her fingers. hurriedly stepped forward and forced it to Chun Thirteen Niang, and said apologetically: "You are newly married, but my father-in-law has been fighting with the Xixia people on the front line of Huanqing, and he didn't have time to send a congratulatory gift." This time we came in a hurry, you can take this little gadget first, I still have something on the ship, and I will send it to you later. ”

Chun Thirteen Niang pushed twice, however, the jewelry handed over by Chen Yiyi was really exquisite, she was a little humble, and immediately pinned the hairpin on her head, and the ring was also worn on her hand, she blinked at Zhao Xing while playing with the ring on her hand, and said with a smile: "I heard that Master Su's eldest son got married, and Uncle Zhao gave him 100,000 yuan to settle down, I don't know how many tigers there are in my family?" ”

In ancient times, women paid attention to three obedience and four virtues, so they called their husbands' relatives with the tone and seniority of their sons, such as calling their husbands brothers and uncles. Chun Thirteen Niang is married to Su Zhe's third son, Su Xun, whose name is Shukuan, and whose name is Hu'er, who is sixteen years old this year.

At this time, the sound of conversation by the well alarmed the people reading in the building, and Su Zhedi's voice came from the building: "Who is outside?" ”

Su Xun was more concerned about his newlywed wife, as soon as Su Zhe's words fell, he had already jumped out of the building with a red face, and when he saw Zhao Xing, he was stunned, his clenched fist was released, and then he respectfully bowed his hand to Zhao Xing: "It's Brother Xing, why did Brother Xing come here without prior notice?" ”

Zhao Xing only visited Su Shi once in order to avoid suspicion, but Su Ding was entrusted by him and had already come to Leizhou. The local officials in Leizhou were entrusted by Zhao Xing to take care of Su Zhe, so Su Xun felt very cordial when he saw Zhao Xing, so he called Zhao Xing in a friendly tone, instead of calling him an adult.

Zhao Xing tidied up his clothes and nodded to Su Xun: "Please inform Sanzhang that Zhao Xing, a disciple of Sumen, is visiting." ”

The new jewelry on Chun Thirteen Niang's head was too dazzling, Su Xun had already noticed the change, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Xing's hand, and said affectionately: "Brother Xing, do you still need to report when you come, come in, my father is still saying recently, I'm afraid you should also come." ”

Zhao Xing entered the gate and bowed his hand to Su Zhe: "Sanzhang, I'm late." ”

Behind Su Zhe stood a middle-aged woman, who was his wife. Obviously, he went out temporarily when he heard the news of Zhao Xing's visit. She bowed lightly to Zhao Xing, and Su Zhe seemed far more stable than Su Shi, he smiled and waved his hand, and said generously: "I know that I know, you have already taken a big risk to come, Guangxi is not under your control, no matter what, you must arrange it before you can appear." It's good to come, it's good to come! ”

Zhao Xing handed over to Mrs. Su behind Su Zhe, thanked him and said: "Mrs. sponsors Huizhou to repair the bridge, and she is kind-hearted. ”

Zhao Xing claimed to be a subordinate official, which means that he thanked Mrs. Su on behalf of the official. In comparison, this lady is better at running a house than Su Shi's wife, and she can accumulate thousands of yuan, while Su Shi has no food to spare.

However, Su Zhe's property was looted by Su Shi to love the people, which also made Su Zhe unable to buy an industry in Leizhou, so he could only borrow a temple. But the two couples have no complaints about their current situation, and they are full of contentment. Zhao Xing's apology did not attract their complaints, Su Zhe waved his hand, and continued: "It's okay, there is no surplus food at home recently, it is all supported by the dowry of Chun Thirteen Niang, I was thinking that you should also come, no, you are here, what am I worried about." ”

Zhao Xing saw that Su Zhe had a cordial attitude, and he no longer saw outside, and said with a smile: "Of course, if you lack anyone's money, can you lack three zhang of money...... There are five big ships parked on the dock in Leizhou, I brought some grain to Sanzhang, and there are more than a dozen cattle on the boat, so it is better to let Hu'er go with Chun Thirteen Niang, just move it to the ship, and tell the sailor what the two fancy is on the line. ”

Su Zhe hadn't answered yet, and the Thirteen Niangs outside the gate had already shouted: "Okay, okay, I heard that Uncle Boda (Su Shi's eldest son Su Mai) got 100,000 yuan of money, 3,000 acres of land, six war horses, and ten cows when he got married. ”

Su Zhe frowned, and was about to reprimand a few words, but Su Xun hurriedly blocked in front of him, and threw his hand at Zhao Xing again and again: "Brother Xing, it's reckless, my lady ......"
