The meeting hall in the Yue Wang's Mansion was full of people, and the few people standing were all family figures in Chang'an, arguing like in the market town, Yang Chong saw Wen Junyou and Wen Dayou, Yang Chong motioned for the two to sit down beside him and said: "I am still discussing the matter of Wuchuan Iron Works, after returning to the household department, I heard that the output has increased by three times, and I am arguing that the money will be less." ”

Wen Junyou knew about this, and said with a smile: "King Yue, it is you, the King of Chu, and the Hubu who are too powerful, I heard that the iron ore and iron shops are all occupied by the subordinates of the King of Chu, and the Jinling iron shop has been opened all the way to Jiujiang." When they came to you, they didn't see Chongming County out of the sandbar. ”

Chongming County was originally Fuhaizhou, Hu Tuozhou, Dongbu Zhou and other sandbanks, all through Hu Douzhou to form a whole and the mainland connection, now in the south of Dongbu Zhou water and rise out of two sandbanks, according to the past experience, sooner or later will be connected with Dongbu Zhou and other places, at this time everyone understands, Yang Chong has long guessed this situation, so his fief on the river.

Although I don't know what Yang Chong is going to do, Chongming County Ling Ma Zhou has expanded from two small fishing villages in Fuhaizhou to the whole island, and more than 700 refugees on the barren beach of Hu Tuzhou have been concentrated in one place to open up the wasteland and establish Hu Tu Town; Huating County selected more than 100 households from the Yue people to migrate to the city, and built Fuhai Town with two fishing villages; Ma Zhou's county government was in a port on the south bank, equipped with 200 sailors, and managed the only land in Chongming County, Qianjing Town, south of the Yangtze River.

The shipyard is in Xupu Town, Huating County, and Yang Chong used fiefdom and buying sand land to occupy almost all of Xupu Town as his own, and built Hecheng and Yunjian City to settle the Yue people, so now a lot of people are speculating how Yang Chong is going to develop his 9,000 acres of fiefdom on Hudouzhou in Chongming County; Today, I complained one by one, just to tell Yang Chong, we have suffered a loss, you have to compensate us, if Chongming County has a business opportunity, even if it is in your fiefdom, you have to take us to play together.

Duhu Honghuan walked in loudly, and the hall was immediately quiet, Yuan Xiren is now only in charge of the Science and Technology City, it is said that the business of the fief will be decided by the fourth lady in the future, and one by one would rather offend Yang Chong than anger Duhu Hong, Miss Duhu's temper is not good. Dugu Kaiche immediately came over and greeted: "Cousin, you and brother-in-law tell me, now I have almost no business to do." ”

Dugu Kaiche and Dugu Kaiming brothers followed Yang Chong in Gaochang, the original wine and salt business did well, and then listened to the family's arrangement against Yang Chong, and finally the wine business was squeezed out by Zhangye wine, and the salt was replaced by Qinghai white salt and Helan green salt, and returned to Chang'an in disgrace. Dugu Kaiming went to be his own official of the Salt and Iron Division, and Duhu Kaiche was designated by the family as a business agent, after all, he paid so many tuition, and Duhu Kaiche's business vision was unmatched in the family.

Duhuhong smiled: "Your brother-in-law doesn't care about business now, tell me what you want to do." ”

Yang Chong stood up and interjected: "It's not easy to open up now, it is estimated that everyone is tired of arguing, beckon everyone to go to the restaurant to eat, just let Yuan Hongzhao talk about the plan of Chongming County." ”

Yang Chong's industries in Chang'an City are almost all sold except for the Squirrel Park, and now Lao Disabled is in charge of the Science and Technology City, and Yuan Hongzhao is in charge of the planning of Jiangnan. Taking advantage of the time to serve the food, Yuan Hongzhao hung a map in the center of the restaurant, introducing all the plans, the most important thing is the salt farm, which will build a large salt farm south of Xupu Town, north of Hecheng, and east of Yunjian City, and Hu Chuzhou is also a salt farm. However, Fuhai Town is already surrounded by fertile water and grass, grazing cattle and sheep; In addition, a sika deer farm was built in Hecheng.

This plan is adapted to local conditions, but there is nothing amazing about it, and I am afraid that anyone who changes will do it; Yu Qintao shook his head and said, "King Yue, you call me back from Jiangdu, just make a big joke about this." ”

Yang Chong motioned him to be calm, Yuan Hongzhao finished speaking, and changed the text of Cen to explain, an official plan, to build a large freight terminal in Qianjing Town, and open up a sea route from Huating to Jiangdu, Dengzhou, and Cangzhou; People from the military all stood up. Who doesn't understand that this is a fake trade route, and if the sea ships can sail to the Bohai Bay, they can drive directly to the town of Duli in Liaodong and the city of Pyongyang in Goguryeo; In this way, the materials from Jiangnan and Yangzhou do not need to be transferred, and can reach Bohai Bay and Liaodong at one time.

Yang Chong asked everyone to sit down and said: "Yu Qintao and I are responsible for the sea route and wharf from Huating to Jiangdu; The sea route from Liuqiu and Yongan to Huating is responsible for Zhang Bojian and Zhang Zhenzhou; The Zhou family, the Gu family, and the Zhang family were responsible for crossing the ground to Huating. I still want to find a few people to be responsible for the shipping of Cangzhou and Dengzhou, is there any self-recommendation? If you don't want to do sea freight, are there any who are willing to pay for shipbuilding and leasing to us? ”

100% profitable shipping, whether it is transportation or coastal wharves, it is fat, the front is noisy and noisy, when Yang Chong opened the price code, all the people really didn't dare to speak casually; There was no way to bargain in front of Yang Chong, because the two gate valves of the Yuan family and the Duhu family had not yet spoken, and as long as they said nothing, the two families would immediately take over the plate. Eldest Sun Xian stood up and said, "King Yue, we are not good at water warfare. ”

Yang Chong bowed his head and said: "So I asked Li Junxian to train sailors in Huating and do an experiment first. I think so, you can select a group of stewards and family soldiers according to the configuration of the navy, send them to Jiangdu, and give Zhou Shaoji unified training, and in the future, we will divide the profits according to the number of people, and the proportion of each family in each ship will be divided into how much money, and make a sea freight to settle the account. The officials who were selected and managed by the Ministry of War, and the Daxing Medical School was equipped with doctors who went to sea. ”

Yuan Wuji and Sun Simiao can only say that Yang Chong is a thief, and in this way, he pulled up a naval army out of thin air, and it is the naval army of the Guan Sergeant clan; The eldest grandson immediately said that there was no problem, and the scholars of Chang'an agreed one after another, and decided to set the number and amount the next day. The Yuan family and the Duhu family ordered a boat on the spot, Yang Chong ordered a boat, Yu Qintao and Zhuge Jiahui ordered a boat, and the Taiyuan Shi clan and the Hebei Shi clan each ordered a boat.

Wen Dayou said suspiciously: "Just five ships? ”

Wei Ting said with a smile: "Zhuge Quan has one ship, Zhang Bojian and Zhang Zhenzhou each sent two ships, and two other sea ships were transferred from Huiji County, a total of twelve sea ships, forming the Huating fleet, which is in charge of Chang Jun; In Jiangdu, Fu Gongyou did even more desperately, in addition to the two sea ships of the Jianghuai Army, five were purchased and repaired successively, forming a fleet of seven ships, which was in charge of Zhou Shaoji. Chen Ling had already rushed to Dengzhou, and the eleven sea ships and naval forces led by the two Wuya warships were all there. ”
