Chapter 43: Vacation or Disaster Relief?

Blue sea and blue sky, clear sky;

In the harbor on the coast, there is a huge ship docked, with a huge hull, looking from afar, like an attic built on the sea.

At this time, the sun was just right, the sea breeze was blowing, and on the wide deck of the ship, a wide sun umbrella was placed, and under the sun umbrella, a beach chair was lying on which a young man lay down.

It seems that the young man has just come back from swimming, and at this time he is lying on the beach chair, squinting his eyes slightly, lying there comfortably, sunbathing.

Next to the beach chair, there is a simple table, on which is placed a bottle of juice, a few fresh fruits and a book upside down on the table, the sea breeze blows, and the pages are 'banging' from time to time, and the whole picture is indescribably comfortable.

And this young man is naturally Zhao Chen!

Going to Shandong for disaster relief, for others, is naturally a chore, running around, often hungry, sleepless, however, for Zhao Chen, it is just a matter of taking out his mobile phone and pulling it.

Li Er sent more than a dozen officials to him from the household department this time, and these officials were the ones who rushed to the front line. Whenever Zhao Chen went to a place, he would convene the local government, and then put down the grain and hand it over to the local officials and officials of the household department to guard.

Then, go to another place!

If it weren't for the purpose of opening up a business route, Li Er would be very poor, and this trip to Shandong, I'm afraid he would be over in five or six days!

He can't afford so much food alone, so the best way is to exchange things for the local people, like in Lingnan.

There are many wetlands in Shandong. Wetlands are generally overgrown with reeds, which will be placed in later generations. I'm afraid I've been targeted for a long time, but in this era. People looked at the reeds, and instead of showing the same eyes as a wealth fan, they shook their heads and sighed.

There are too many, the whole area is covered in the wetland, even if you want to shovel, you can't shovel it, and over the years, it grows there!

And what Zhao Chen said about the business road refers to the reeds that cover the entire Shandong!

Reed fibers have tensile strength and are the best raw material for papermaking. Xuan paper is made of reeds, household paper is also made of reeds, and there are more varieties of paper, which can be made of reeds.

Now, with the completion of the school palace, the consumption of paper is a terrifying number, if you rely on the original bark of the Tang Dynasty to make paper, I really don't know the year of the ox. to be able to offer on.

Therefore, Zhao Chen set his sights on the reeds in Shandong, which can be regarded as a double win, which solves the problem of money shortage. At the same time, it also solves the problem of paper shortage.

Moreover, this is long-lasting, as long as the reeds here in Shandong are endless. Then you can make a steady stream of paper.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish!

The process of making paper. This era is actually very perfect, and the only thing lacking is innovation and sublimation. But Zhao Chen could just provide it to them, so they hit it off.

As the saying goes, one law is all and ten thousand laws are passed, and those papermakers who were summoned by the magistrate, Zhao Chen, who listened to it, explained it to them, and took out paper samples to show them, and they suddenly woke up like a dream.

Next, Zhao Chen only replaced the rinse pool from wood, cement masonry, and left some necessary raw materials, and then handed them over to the magistrates and household officials.

Just like when I was in Lingnan, the entire inland area of Shandong Province was put into a vigorous campaign to cut down reeds.

Only a part of them are needed to make paper, so most people only need to cut reeds and go to the government to exchange for food.

In the current Tang Dynasty, paper is really scarce, and sometimes letters are written on silk. Zhao Chen made a variety of paper made in various parts of Shandong, including rice paper, letter paper, hard paper that is easy to print, and household paper.

Especially this household paper, Zhao Chen has already thought about it, and then he will learn the dry method of later generations, and specially let people fold it into small squares, coat them with flavors and the like, and ensure that they are transported to Chang'an and Luoyang and other places to snatch a light.

There is no shortage of Datang, like Changsun Chong's baked buns!

Inland papermaking, coastline went to the sea, and when he left, he left dozens of boxes of money for Hu Lu, which was used to build a city of food, shopping, and entertainment.

It is estimated that at this time, Hu Road is almost completed, just waiting for him to transport the sea goods back here, and then, a city in Chang'an can be fully opened.

In the past few days, the inland affairs have just been busy, and only the purchase of seafood remains, but there is no need for Zhao Chen to worry about this matter, there are officials from the government and the household department.

Therefore, now Zhao Chen is very leisurely, swimming during the day, then sunbathing on the deck, waking up to eat, and swimming in the sea when he is full, and living a comfortable life.

He alone has the final say on the entire treasure ship, he is the overlord on the treasure ship, those wingmen and sailors are naturally happy to see Zhao Chen on the ship, as long as Zhao Chen stays on the ship, these guys always have a mouthful of white teeth, nothing to do.

In the distance, someone on the coastline called Hou Ye long and short, and waved vigorously at the boat.

But the sailors, who were originally standing outside, saw that the guy shouted hurriedly, thinking that they were calling their envoy out again, and one by one they immediately opened their mouths and yawned into the cabin, pretending not to see the guy on the shore.

"Sister, you see they are all in the cabin!" Li Tai, who was standing at the window of the cabin on the second floor, saw that the bureaucrats obviously heard the shouts on the shore, but they ignored them one by one and entered the cabin, and immediately said to Xiangcheng behind him in surprise.

"Qingque'er, don't count on these people!" Xiangcheng, who was behind Li Tai, heard this, and immediately pouted and chuckled, looked at Li Tai and said.

Xiangcheng seems to have long been accustomed to the attitude of the bureaucrats, since arriving in Luoyang and stepping on this giant treasure ship, Xiangcheng has already understood a fact, that is, on this ship, Zhao Chen's words are supreme.

If, Zhao Chen said that the sky is red and the sea is black, then the gang will also nod vigorously, and if necessary, the gang will probably make everyone believe this!

This bastard!

When Princess Xiangcheng thought of this, she hated it in her heart, at this time, the sun was obviously very good, if she could sit on the deck above and bask in the sun, it would be a wonderful thing.

A few days before Zhao Chen went inland, she did this, taking Li Tai to the deck every day, looking at the endless, choppy sea in the sight, in that kind of situation, Xiangcheng's depressed mood was much better.

It's a pity that since Zhao Chen came back, the deck has been forbidden for anyone to go up, and on the wooden ladder to the deck, there will be more than a dozen wingmen guarding to the death, and if anyone dares to take a step closer, those wingmen will immediately turn their faces and deny people.

Even if Li Tai doesn't give face, people don't know who is the emperor and who is the prince, they only recognize the divine envoy!

Unless Zhao Chen has stayed on the deck enough, it is possible to get down from the deck, Xiangcheng is possible, run to the deck, enjoy the sea breeze, and watch the sunset and moonrise on the sea.

But the problem is, she is the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty!

The people on the shore, probably also seeing that the people on the boat, no one paid attention to him, and there they shouted for a long time, and at last they did not shout at all, and called a fisherman nearby, and rowed a small boat towards the treasure ship.

"Master Hou! Master Hou! ”

Zhao Chen, who was lying on the beach chair, seemed to hear someone calling him in a daze, and then, when he opened his eyes and opened his ears to listen, he heard someone calling him under the boat.

Turning over from the recliner and standing up, he stretched comfortably, and then came to the side of the boat with bare feet, and when he climbed on the side of the boat and looked down, he saw Qin Fen standing in a fishing boat, shouting at the treasure boat pitifully.

Qin Fen is naturally the same as Qin Ming, he is Lao Qin's general, and his surname is the surname of Lao Qin after he became a general. As soon as Zhao Chen saw that it was someone sent by Lao Qin, he immediately arranged for Qin Fen to be put on the boat!

"This is a letter from the head of the family to Lord Hou!" Qin Fen's temperament is the opposite of Qin Ming, he belongs to the kind of stuffy and sulky, in the words of later generations, he is very homely.

Coming up from below, when he saw that Zhao Chen was only wearing a strange-looking sinus pants, he was slightly surprised, a big man was actually dodging his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhao Chen immediately laughed, picked up the towel on the beach chair, wrapped it around his waist, pointed to the fresh fruit on the table, and motioned for Qin Fen to sit there and enjoy it, while he opened Lao Qin's letter and read it.

As Zhao Chen expected, after he left, Chang'an completely turned into a storm whirlpool, and the family began to fight back, Lao Qin predicted, it is estimated that someone's head may fall to the ground in the end.

This letter was sent by Qin Shubao to Qin Fen half a month after Zhao Chen left Chang'an, and just as Qin Shubao predicted, as soon as he sent Qin Fen to send this letter, someone couldn't wait to jump out and offer Li Er's first head.

Of course, Zhao Chen naturally didn't know about this!

However, as mentioned in Lao Qin's letter, Zhao Chen was not surprised at all, this was what he had expected early on.

Since Cao Wei implemented the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, the scholars have guided the political mainstream, the chaos of China, the separation of the north and the south, and the demise of the previous dynasty, and there is a lack of participation in the scholars!

A group of silverfish who have not achieved enough and have more than enough to lose!

It's like a cancer, firmly tied to the ships of the empire, and the scourge doesn't count as one, but the scourge comes again, and now, it's just a little piercing, and the real beginning is the future.

In order to completely remove these tumors, the entire Tang Dynasty, starting from Li Er, went through Gaozong, the empress to the love saint emperor, almost several generations, and then gradually removed it!

There is still a long way to go!

After reading the letter, Zhao Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then picked up the lighter from the table and lit it with a 'snap', burning the letter into a pile of ashes.

"That's right, Master Hou!" Qin Fen stuffed the fresh fruit on the table in his mouth, and suddenly remembered it, so he quickly took out another letter from his arms, handed it to Zhao Chen, and said: "Before leaving, the little lady entrusted a certain to Hou Ye, saying that it was a letter written by the little grandfather to Hou Ye, and no one was allowed to see it!" ”

I'm going to it! This is a love letter written by Yuyan to him! (To be continued......)
