Qingzhou Yidu is still a peaceful and bustling daily scene.

It's just that in the hot, sweaty weather, there are a lot fewer pedestrians coming and going; Only the vendors who sold ice water and drinks were left, still working tirelessly along the streets in the scorching sun.

And in the garden of the back house of Zhenfu Mansion, in the cool cave specially opened up under the rockery spring,

Dressed in a loose gauze robe, I was frowning, looking at the statistics that I had straightened out by squatting with my head in my hands, as well as some opinions and judgments from the Canton Mansion in the rear.

In the new month, the import of low-cost raw materials from various continents in the South China Sea has once again shrunk and declined.

In particular, the nearest three continents of Luzon (present-day Philippine Island) saw the most obvious decline, especially the exports of copper sand, raw tin and white lead from the southern Dashazhou (Sarawak), as well as rice, coconut, sugarcane, tobacco, abaca, palm and other agricultural and sideline products and their processed products, which fell by more than 30% compared with the same month in normal years.

So much so that large groups of ships traveling between the continents once again appeared to be unloaded. Although Yuwen Batu, who was in charge of this matter, promptly replenished the supply of goods and the specialty products of the ballast from other places along the way, the corresponding impact was somewhat reduced and delayed.

However, the various news that came with the ship did not show any signs of disasters or man-made production reductions, and all the feedback was about this year, which was just a relatively normal small harvest year.

But if combined with the news and reminders sent by Guangfu, it seems that there is only one possibility left.

In the past two years, the continuous increase in taxes and the additional special tributes imposed on the overseas continents under the jurisdiction of the two provinces have had a great impact on the plantation economic system of the local feudal families and the people of the country, so that they have all kinds of problems, and even the production expectations of the daily plan cannot be completed as scheduled.

You know, although the FOB price I gave was much lower than that of Guangfu, because it was carried out between Yizhou and Huaidong, it was basically equivalent to the direct voyage of the Great Triangle trade activities.

Moreover, during the long sea journey, it is the most mature route around the mainland, with hundreds of ships going back and forth every year, and the accumulated wave damage overturning rate is less than 23 percent, and it is mostly caused by rushing in the abnormal navigation season.

Therefore, there is no need for multiple transfer links and reallocation in the country, and for those local manor economic systems that use a large number of feudal slaves in Haizhou and desperately squeeze their labor; There are still some things to make and make a profit.

After all, in previous years, when the harvest in their territory encountered an overoutput, in addition to some of their own subordinates forcibly digesting it, they could only still rot on the trees or fall into the ground to save the corresponding labor waste.

Since the supply and marketing partnership with me, we have obtained a stable channel and source of income for simple processing and preservation, and then export, and except for those who are not so manual under their drive, this part of the input is almost equal to pure profit.

What's more, this business is not a one-way street, and those feudal lords and merchants close to the sea can also use the annual export quota and expected harvest as a guarantee to make another profit by reselling the goods brought back by the trafficking ship groups from the mainland, and even the products of the northern lands to the interior.

Therefore, they started doing business with the Borneo Guild Hall, which was in the ascendant, and they only hated less than too much.

Now that they will be forced to reduce production, it seems that the impact of the new policies of the DPRK on them has already had a very serious substantive impact and damage on them after a period of deliberation.

You must know that these guys may not be very good at others, but they have been passed down from generation to generation, and they are the best at squeezing and exploiting those feudal slaves and native tribes, as well as naturalized people or something.

It's really a tree that wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop.

Although under the efforts and desperate devotion of these years, at least thousands of people have worked tirelessly, and they have thought of various ways to strengthen management to fully squeeze labor and improve labor efficiency, Huaidong has finally been able to initially achieve a surplus and accumulation of grain revenues and expenditures, and a relative self-sufficiency in various daily necessities for people's livelihood.

However, it is necessary to maintain such a large primary chemical and incidental production industry, as well as relatively low-cost social tribute and consumption levels; It still requires a steady stream of raw materials, minerals and other resources to act as catalysts and additional supplements.

Even in terms of food, although Huaidong no longer needs to import a large amount of the same taste as chewing wax, only the multi-season rice that is abundant on the islands of the South China Sea is used for emergency and famine relief; However, there is still a certain demand to continue to maintain the import as an added ingredient in livestock feed with ballast and as a processing raw material for military rations.

Although after a long sea journey, it is likely that there will be maceration and mildew due to the probability of wind and waves, as long as it is processed and cooked, at least those who are hungry and precarious are not qualified to dislike and find fault with anything.

But on the other hand, there is good news.

It can really be said that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. I just sent a boat group to the southern tip of Kyushu, and it turned out that Luo Sijin, who had just taken office not long ago, had already achieved results.

This time, it was actually the Western Imperial Court in the south of the Fusang Domain, which took the initiative to send an envoy to the door. And before that, I obviously sent people to keep in touch and contact, and they were all people from the Northern Kwantung Imperial Court.

Only then did I know some inside information from Luo Sijin, who contacted him first, but this time the Southern Dynasty forces, which were mainly located in the West Sea Road of the Fusang Domain, were attracted by the news that I took the initiative to offer a reward to attack the Boluo Society.

This can also be regarded as an unexpected product of "intentionally flowering flowers do not bloom, and unintentionally planting willows into the shade".

Although he came only as an official and an ordinary envoy from the Taira clan, the largest force in Saikaido, he showed a certain attitude.

As the western court of the Fusang Domain, it was also deeply distressed by this Boluo Club, and for this reason, it also listed a lot of crimes and black history that I didn't know whether it was true or false.

Of course, with the division of the northern and southern camps like the Fusang Domain, and the internal chaos is endless, and the chaos has been stopped for decades, I really don't see that Boluo Society, a typical-stirring stick style hiding behind the scenes, will let go of such an opportunity.

But regardless of the other party's attitude and demands, how much is true.

If I can get some kind of convenience from the local government in Fuso, even if it is only in name, it will be helpful for what I am doing in private. ……

In Yunzhou, on the streets of Leize County in the middle reaches of the Wuzhang River, several messengers holding Lubu galloped and walked by at trotting and kicking.

"Good News ......"

"Good News ......"

"Don't send the army to break the northern captives under the city of Luyang......"

"Kill 10,000 ...... The seizure is not counted"

"The sun is falling...... Take advantage of the victory and send troops to the water"

After seeing Chuanjie's rubles, more than a dozen generals who were resting and waiting in the local area had different expressions and were a little complicated.

Some people are sullen, some are sighing secretly, and some are sipping their drinks one after another, or munching on them.

"It's boring and ......"

In the end, a familiar general broke the silence and couldn't help but complain loudly in front of Tang Huai.

"Obviously, the front line is already in full swing......"

"But how long will we continue to hang here like people......

His words suddenly caused a resonance.

"The sons and daughters have asked for battle several times, but there has never been a sound......"

"You must know that this is not the idea and original intention of the commander, but the three orders from the imperial court......"

"Isn't it possible that this patrol and defense work will continue to be done endlessly......

"In this rear place, far from the front line, it is very much on alert and standby...... What the hell?"

"And be cautious, don't make any wrong remarks, maybe the court has its own judgment and calculation......"

"As long as our generation does not relax for a moment, we will continue to sharpen our military skills and tactics......

Tang Huai can only do that true and false, and comfort and comfort them

"With the size of the world, how can there be no opportunity and usefulness for my generation to show their talents......"

However, Li Qiong, who was born in the same batch, was able to go to the front line with a group of capable men and horses drawn out of Zhang Xian's department this time by escorting grain and grass to support the front army;

This time, I don't know what it has become, and what it has been like in this good news.

For these generals, who are mostly chasing personal fame and military glory, it is completely impossible to be unmoved and have no envy and hatred.

Even Tang Huai couldn't help but feel a little faint in his heart, and in the face of his subordinates' earnest invitation to fight, he always felt a little depressed and uncomfortable.

But he vaguely knew that this was also the result of the other party's own hard work.

Under the same conditions and opportunities, Li Qiong always volunteered to fight on the front line, and repeatedly took the lead to go to dangerous places, so she was injured more than three or five times; From the most common arrow wounds, to the scars of knife cuts, the eyes poked by guns, and all kinds of wounds and swells, it can be said that everything is available.

With him, an example of going to the dark as a comparison, even if others have made up their minds to achieve something here in Huaidong, they obviously still have some reservations and hesitation.

So in terms of qualifications and performance, there is really nothing to compare, as a former comrade-in-arms and colleague, Tang Huai still has this measure and mind.

[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! 】
