Chapter 50: You're a Madman
Fishing boats come in and out of the wharf, loading a full load of seafood and reloading it all on the large speedboats that have been specially modified to dock in the wharf.
There are dozens of these modified fast boats, all of which have huge reservoirs that are loaded into seawater, so that large quantities of seafood can be transported to Chang'an.
Otherwise, if you want to transport so much seafood to Chang'an, before you arrive in Chang'an, the seafood on the halfway road should rot into a pile of mud, and you can only go home.
Chang'an is located in Guanzhong, coupled with inconvenient transportation, the people of Chang'an, unless they go to this seaside place, the people of Chang'an will never have the opportunity to eat this seafood in their lives.
It is by virtue of this that Zhao Chen asked Hu Lu to build a seafood building in Chang'an, which can be regarded as a leading role, only the seafood building is booming, so that the people in Chang'an are all well-known, and the seafood road here is really opened!
At this time, the fast boat is loaded with some more expensive seafood, such as sea cucumbers, crabs, and of course, kelp, which in the eyes of the locals is not even eaten by pigs.
In fact, according to Zhao Chen, what is really valuable here is these kelp. Kelp is rich in a lot of glutamate, once extracted, it is the real monosodium glutamate, in this era when there is not even refined salt, how profitable the monosodium glutamate is, even Zhao Chen himself can't tell.
However, extracting MSG from kelp is not an easy task, and people who really understand chemistry are needed, and Zhao Chen understands it, but if it is simply to make money, spending time in this area is really worth the loss.
Therefore, at this stage, the only way to do this is to treat kelp as a seafood dish!
When the dock is busy loading goods. Zhao Chen sat on the side of the boat, looking at the letter that Lao Qin had just sent from Chang'an. The content is naturally about him, and he angrily beheaded more than a dozen people in Cui County.
Zhao Chen's brazen move here. Obviously, the families here were shocked.
aroused the anger of the people, and then attacked it en masse, just this one alone, made those families frightened!
For so many years, they have only stood tall, but in fact, they have relied on the people to support them. But the people fed them. They, in turn, look down on the people, thinking that they are from poor backgrounds, so they turn around and exploit them!
Zhao Chen's actions not long ago obviously frightened them, and they hated Zhao Chen to the bone one by one, but they all shrank in the nest and sent letters to Chang'an one by one. constantly put pressure on Li Er in the court.
"Tsk, what a bunch of silverfish who are not afraid of death!" Zhao Chen finished reading the letter in his hand, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he spoke. He took out a lighter, lit the letter, and threw it into the sea.
On the court now. once again sparked a big controversy, and the family was not afraid of death to get up. Even Li Er didn't dare to act rashly. The power of the family is very great, once it really tears its face with the family. Then Datang is basically finished!
Zhao Chen guessed that Li Er at this time must have hoped in his heart that the school palace could be completed as soon as possible and a group of people could be cultivated as soon as possible.
At that time, it is estimated that it will be the end of the family, and if anyone dares to form a gang like this again, Li Er will definitely not mind and pull it out together and kill it.
Now that Li Er's first level has passed, the remaining second level should be his turn. It has been more than two months since I came out of Chang'an, and the weather has turned cold, so it's time to go back.
But this time when I go back, it's time for the families to cry, if you can't kill these families, Zhao Chenjue, he can jump into the sea!
"Master Hou, look!" The young man named Shi was on the boat at this time, and he looked at the several large ships that suddenly appeared on the sea from a distance, and immediately opened his mouth wide and exclaimed.
When Zhao Chen heard this, he looked at the stone's gaze, and sure enough, several ships appeared in the distance on the sea, and all of them were small treasure ships.
Seeing these big ships appear, Zhao Chen's face finally showed a hint of excitement!
These ships are naturally not others, but Jiang Chao and others from Lingnan, and even if they don't have to go up to see, Zhao Chen also knows that the goods loaded on several ships are full of refined salt.
On the side of Nanfuzhou, except for Yinmen and Ma Zhou and others, who are Han Chinese, the rest are all bureaucrats, these bureaucrats live in the mountains and forests all the year round, and the things they know are really pitiful.
Therefore, Zhao Chen does not expect that at this stage, Nanfuzhou will immediately transform to industrialization, but the technology of salt production is not complicated, and there are people from the hidden door to guide it.
Just by controlling the salt production, Zhao Chen dared to guarantee that in a short period of time, Nanfu would become a major commercial port, and prosperity was just around the corner.
"Fortunately, I didn't lose my life!" Several ships were moored far away on the sea, and then Jiang Chao took a few wingmen and took a small boat to sail towards Zhao Chen's treasure ship.
"I thought it would be a few days before you arrived!" Zhao Chen stepped forward with a smile, smashed a punch in Jiang Chao's chest, and said happily from the bottom of his heart.
"How dare you!" Jiang Chao pursed his lips and said to Zhao Chen, "Since I received your letter, the ancestor has given a death order, if we can't make a few boats of salt within a month, then we don't want to see him again!" β
As he spoke, Jiang Chao couldn't help but sigh and said, "So, we worked day and night, and finally in January, we had enough for a few boats of salt!" β
"Thankfully!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he looked at Jiang Chao with a tired look on his face, and couldn't help but pat Jiang Chao's shoulder and said.
Then, he looked at Jiang Chao again and asked, "By the way, the old man is okay?" β
"Refreshed, red-faced!" Jiang Chao heard Zhao Chen ask about the ancestor's body, and immediately opened his mouth wide and said: "When the ancestor comes, let me bring you a message, saying that he is in good health, and he can show you a few years of home, so that you can do things with confidence, he is still waiting to see!" β
"This is the best news I've heard in months!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he paused slightly, and said with a smile at Jiang Chao.
Lingnan always has to have a person with a sense of the overall situation to control it, Jiang Chao is smart and smart, but this is full of brains, all of them are crazy factors, if he is not careful, his crazy factor will explode, and it is estimated that he will rebel at that time, and he will not blink his brows.
Therefore, hearing the news that Old Man Ji is healthy, how can Zhao Chen be unhappy!
The two walked to the beach chairs on the deck while talking, while listening to Jiang Chao talk about Lingnan, while basking in the sun leisurely, after a while, when Jiang Chao finished talking about Lingnan, Zhao Chen pointed to the busy dock in the distance, and said to Jiang Chao that he wanted to make this place a port.
Once this port is completed, it will become a transit station between Lingnan and Chang'an, and when the ships from Lingnan arrive here, there will be a special person sent by Zhao Chen to be responsible for answering them.
The cargo is then loaded onto a clipper ship, transported inland by canal, and transported to all parts of the country!
"If you do this, the emperor will agree?" Jiang Chao listened to Zhao Chen's plan, frowned and thought about it, then suddenly turned his head, looked at Zhao Chen and asked.
It is very obvious that Zhao Chen's plan is quite big, if it is really rolled out and the enemy country is rich, it will be light, so Jiang Chao asked this.
"It's okay!" Zhao Chen heard Jiang Chao talk about this, I don't know what I remembered, I suddenly couldn't stop laughing, and when I laughed enough, I looked at Jiang Chao and said seriously: "When I go back this time, I am ready to give His Majesty the Emperor and take the initiative to pay a part of the taxes!" β
"What do you mean?" As soon as Jiang Chao heard that Zhao Chen was going back, he actually had to send money to His Majesty the Emperor in vain, his brows furrowed, and he asked a little unpleasantly.
When Zhao Chen heard this, he was slightly stunned, and suddenly approached Jiang Chao, lowered his voice and whispered to Jiang Chao. With Zhao Chen's words, Jiang Chao's originally puzzled look gradually became shocked.
In the end, when Zhao Chen finished speaking, Jiang Chao still maintained a shocked look, and after a long while, he took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Chen, and said, "You are a madman!" β
"Get out!" When Zhao Chen heard this, his face immediately turned dark, and he kicked Jiang Chao fiercely across the beach chair.
Jiang Chao only stayed here for one day, and after unloading all the goods on the ship, he went back to Lingnan with a few ships!
However, when this guy was leaving, he suddenly told Zhao Chen with a hesitant look that he had been in Chang'an for a long time, and he should not forget the old people in Lingnan!
This sounds like a warning, but Zhao Chen thought about it for several days, but he couldn't figure out the cause and effect inside, and in the end, he had no choice but to give up!
Now, he has a lot of things in his hands that he needs to deal with, and he has no extra thoughts to spend elsewhere. The dozens of ships loaded with seafood in front had already been transported back to Chang'an.
Now the fast boats docked at the pier are loaded with salt and paper from all over the place, all kinds of paper!
The sun was just right, the wind was beautiful, Zhao Chen stood on the bow of the treasure ship, and with an order, the wingmen and sailors on the ship skillfully turned the winch, and with the sound of the iron chain, the heavy iron anchor was fished out of the water.
Then, the left and right paddles rowed at the same time, and the giant treasure ship slowly sailed out of the dock, followed by dozens of fast boats full of goods.
Shandong's disaster relief is over, with the operation of this trade route opened up by Zhao Chen, in the future, it will become rich here, and grain will continue to be transported from Chang'an, and these grains are not given to the people in vain, but as an equivalent exchange, the people have been fortunate to get it with their own hands.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish!
As long as this trade route continues, even if the people here encounter any natural disasters, they will not be afraid!
On the dock is the crowd of people who bid farewell to Zhao Chen, even if they are far away, Zhao Chen can hear their shouts clearly, that is really from the heart, the people are really easy to be grateful in this world, as long as you are really willing to do it, you will get their gratitude.
Unfortunately, no one wants to! (To be continued......)
