Yizhou, the first generation of the Jilongshan Peninsula that has been renamed Jilongyi, in the port of Momosan, Zheng Chuan, who was covered with oil and sweat, was also personally supervising and inspecting the wharf, and saw the local slaves and hired laborers, laboriously carrying and loading and unloading, and the large objects that were wrapped tightly on the carriage were not slackened even in the middle of summer.

It was only through the well-developed southern sea route interpretation that he also had some news and heard, as a former colleague and partner, and also a competitor in a sense, who had always been responsible for trade in the southern seas.

Therefore, he can't help but feel a little pressure and a sense of urgency, and redouble his efforts in this position to maintain his position and basic market, after all, with the current good situation in Huaidong, he is not the only one to choose.

What he can occupy is only the advantage of knowing the lord of Huaizhen early and cooperating with him for a long time, running back and forth between the north and south of the river, not to mention that he now has to cooperate with Huaidong, step up the infiltration and spying on the local area of Yizhou, and make more achievements, so that it is possible to continue to maintain a favorable situation and take the lead in the future in the status of the overlapping field and the master-slave dispute.

And Hu Jingshui, who is already a well-known shipper and follows him step by step, is undoubtedly an important helper in his development and wooing.

It's just that they haven't gone far enough to say a few words.

After hearing the news, the stewards from the major local merchants in Yizhou, as well as the representatives of the nobles of various feudal clans, almost rushed up, and Hu Jingshui was submerged in an instant.

"Boss Hu......"

"Hu Dongzhu ......"

"No ...... with ice"

"Ice."

"Ice ......"

"More Ice ......"

"How many have to be ......"

"Price is not an issue......

These are the words they all cry out with; After all, it's the hottest summer in the south, and Yizhou is a well-known hot and humid place in the south.

In recent years, a newly developed industry in Huaidong is to sell ice to Guangfu, which has a humid and hot climate outside the mountains; The principle is also very simple, take advantage of the long winter in the northland, and then freeze the mountain spring water of better quality, and then renovate the sea boat accordingly.

During this period, there was enough cotton to wrap the four walls, and a thick layer of crumbs to cushion the bottom, so that the large number of cellars and hoards throughout the winter could be sold from early winter to autumn.

As an important transit place, Yizhou Island is undoubtedly a natural advantage of being close to the water.

Soon, through the competition for the amount at the auction, the share of this batch of short-distance ice cubes was divided.

Moreover, today's broad audience is not only limited to Guangzhou, but also includes terminals that have been plagued by the hot climate for most of the time, and there are also sufficient demand and consumption markets in the coastal prefectures of Lingwai and the three continents of Luzon.

Although the general economic situation of today's dynasty is not good and the market is withering, the middle and upper class of wealthy families, noble and wealthy families, have not reduced much for daily cooling down.

After a long distance of transportation, excluding the natural wear and loss of the road, these pure natural ice cubes are even cheaper and better in taste than local ice products made with nitrate.

Moreover, the most common sea vessels with hundreds of materials to thousands of materials can also meet the basic needs of coastal transportation; With the water market of Panyu old port in Jinai as the end point, you can go back and forth for more than half a month, and after removing labor and material consumption, you can also get hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars in a single boat, which does not include the return trip with no load, piggyback on the Lingwai Road and the South China Sea specialties, as well as the bulk procurement project designated by Huaidong, the profits obtained.

This is undoubtedly one of the few changes that can continue to bring benefits and convenience to the areas outside the ridge after the failure of the Northern Expedition of Daliang.

Of course, this is also a natural monopoly business, after all, others do not have a large stable territory within the frost line of the Northland, and there are not enough manpower and resources to deploy; Not to mention the sea transportation capacity that has traveled thousands of miles to distribute to various places.

Therefore, although the technical content is not high, the process is quite simple and clear, almost all of them can be completed by sufficient manpower to operate large-scale production, but such a low threshold, the lack of these days and places are favorable, that is, there is no other way to emulate and copycat.

Therefore, those who can get the corresponding ration indicators outside of Huaidong's bulk plan are undoubtedly a few specific related households that have close contacts with Huaidong and have made corresponding contributions.

Although Hu Jingshui's business is not particularly large, it happens to be one of them.

And this advantage and convenience is also conducive to him to make some off-the-table exchanges and compromises, and obtain greater potential benefits.

Therefore, Hu Jingshui, who was mixed on the dock, almost took a lot of effort; It was easy to get rid of these people, who were more enthusiastic than the summer fires, and hid in his own boat, the slightest coolness brought by a large lump of ice in the cabin, and he wanted to lie down like this, and did not want to get up again.

The concubine, who was wearing a short robe and had bare hands and feet, greeted him with a silk scarf dipped in ice water, wiped him carefully, and drank a large cup of Huoxiang drink, before slowly relieving his mental strength.

At this time, he got a new message from the attendant who came to report, "Where do you need to requisition my people and boats?" ”

"No problem......"

Hu Jingshui didn't have time to think about it.

"Unload all the goods immediately, dispose of them on the spot, and set off ......"

"No, I'd better lead the team to help myself."

Then he added.

Although he may lose a lot of expected profits and business opportunities by turning back halfway through this, he at least knows where his heels and interests are...... For me, who has just returned to Huaidong's daily three-point line, and it has not been long since I got an important news.

Carrying an important mission to the south, the first soldier who had been absent from the sequence finally returned, and with him came a huge fleet from Fujian and the corresponding part of the news.

The dynasty seems to have given up and temporarily forgotten the land of Fujian in disguise; Therefore, although these remnants of the Great Cloud Sect were suppressed and blocked in the mountainous areas and were not allowed to expand to the outside world, at the same time, except for some coastal states and counties, most of the entire eleven prefectures in Fujian had almost become the hunting grounds for those Great Cloud Sect rebels.

For example, the prefectures of Zhangquan Fu on the coastal plain were even rushed to the outskirts of the city by the soldiers of those rebellious parties, and they were besieged several times, and they could only rely on the sea to maintain mutual contact.

Therefore, the people who can escape in these coastal states and counties have already fled, and the coastal city of Dayi, which is protected by a city wall, is already overcrowded and unbearable.

Because of the harassment and destruction of the Great Cloud Sect, the normal output of the coastal land was lost, and it could only be maintained by external transportation; Almost every day people starve to death or die of disease and are thrown into the sea; The old and new corpses that had not been washed away by the tide for a long time were scattered all over the nearby coast, and they were miserable.

The group brought back by the Wind Roll Banner were members of military households and their dependents who had fled back from all parts of central Fujian, and in addition to the thousands of people who had arrived in advance, there were more than 20,000 people registered before and after.

And this also means that the hundreds of years of effort and results of the dynasty's continuous development and stationing in Fujian have been completely ruined.

After all, among the local people, they are a little rich or a little wealthy, or have conditions; Or it has something to do with it, they have already tried to buy a boat to go to sea, go south to the various roads outside the mountains, or escape across the sea into Liangzhejiang and Jiangdong, but not many people are willing to go further north to Huaidong.

In the end, only these military families and dependents who came from many garrisons in the interior and were like abandoned sons after losing their establishment were able to hit it off with the wind-swept flags that were operating in the local area because of their past origins and the embarrassment of their daily livelihoods, and they initially decided to go to Huaidong to cultivate and expand and seek a living.

Later, many things happened, triggering a chain reaction of a series of Turkish and guest contradictions gradually intensifying, and the number of these recruits to Huaidong suddenly surged.

Later, because of the worsening situation and the intensification of contradictions and conflicts, they didn't even want any settling-in money or selling money, and took the initiative to get a place to go north on the ship.

During this period, the origins of the Wind Roll Banner in the military horses stationed in Fujian, coupled with the reputation of the Huaidong Army, became their last straw.

This is also an important reason why the return date of the Wind Banner has been postponed again and again, and additional financial, material and other resources have been continuously requested.

Like this transportation, it was with the help of the transportation capacity of the Taoshan Grain Taiwan Institute on the other side of the strait, and some sea ships from the Yizhou Domain were recruited locally, so that the most basic needs could be completed.

Of course, most of them are young and strong and there are women and children, and there are almost no elderly people, only hundreds of old military craftsmen who have served the garrison all their lives have been retained, and among those women and children, the most common are children and teenagers from military households in the garrison.

It is also the result of a harsh reality and difficult choices, with their fathers and brothers either killed or disappeared in battle, and many of them left alone or broken up almost overnight.

However, after knowing this fact, I was not angry but happy, and I also comforted and encouraged the wind and wind flag who obviously felt that he had deviated from his original intention and gone too far, which made him both guilty and moved.

After all, I had asked him to look for a group of veterans who were good at fighting in the mountains, not such a large number of non-combatants who were helping the old and the young, but there was no turning back as time passed.

Of course, I am not a fool or an unprincipled indiscriminate person, these young children in Fujian may be a large number of heavy burdens and burdens to others, but for me they are good potential wealth; After all, they are all at the age of unformed three views and cognition, so it is best to brainwash and instill private goods with Huaidong characteristics; In addition, it has encountered sudden drastic changes in the family and living environment, as long as the benefits of a little relief are added, it is easy to settle their hearts with the city's favor.

Just like the young people in Qingyuan Town who fled to the sea at the beginning, now as they gradually become adults, most of them have cleared their identities and become part of my potential team and backbone in the Huaidong Army, and they are full of various military branches and posts.

I also thought about their resettlement places, part of which was placed in the three prefectures of Denglemi on the Jiaodong Peninsula, mainly women engaged in tea planting and sericulture production; Part of it was placed between the Changshan Islands at the mouth of the Bohai Sea as an auxiliary service for the fishing and naval forces; Some of them went to the old site of Tunliang Mountain.

As for the group of minors, it has become a separate unit under the direct jurisdiction of me.

In addition, among them, young adults who have received military training or have served in the military are specially selected, and there are about 1,780 people; It was used to form a number of experimental mountain infantry battalions under the name of the Qingzhou Garrison Army; Theoretically, they are good at trekking and wading over mountains, and they have no less than experience in fighting with the barbarians and wealthy clans, as long as they are simply formed and retrained, they can come in handy on the Liaodong Peninsula or in the northwest of Liaodong.
