No. 514 Father-in-law Hu's ability is of great use

On Nanri Island, Cai Dao enjoyed a very warm reception from Jinbao.

Back then, under the guidance of Cai Dao, Jinbao's body gradually recovered his health, and after years of persistence, although he was still fatter, the proportion of fat in his huge body was much more than that of other fat people. At this point, his father's money is not as good as Xiao Jinbao's perseverance, and he is perfunctory with the excuse that he is busy with business all day long and can't take care of exercise.

On the island, Cai Dao enjoyed three days of treatment as a top VIP.

Finally, on the afternoon of the third day, Qian led more than a dozen huge sea transport ships back to Nanri Island.

This time, the goods that Cai Dao wanted to transport with these sea transport ships were young men captured from the Great Yue Kingdom, and the first stop of the fleet was not the previous Mizhou, but the new city of Hebei East Road, Tianjin Mansion under the rule of Zong Ze.

Gonggong Hu and the apprentices under his command, after receiving Cai Dao's message, left behind the hot business in Bianliang City and came to Tianjin Mansion early. Presumably, at this time, I am already impatient.

In the Song Dynasty, although Gonggong Hu was not reused, he was very grateful to his master. Therefore, to do this kind of thing, even if it is not to collect money, he and his disciples are willing to do it.

What is it exactly?

Gonggong Hu was kicked out of the nursery in the year of Yuan You, and did not meet in the palace, and with the permission of the Empress Dowager, he used the money given to him by Cai Dao to buy a shop for the castration of pigs.

After Cai Dao spread his pig farming method, the business became extremely hot. The number of practitioners has gradually increased, but when it comes to Bianliang City, this business is one of the best.

Speaking of which, you must already know Cai Dao's purpose of summoning Gonggong Hu to Tianjin City.

Zhao Xu naturally knew Cai Dao's intentions, but at first, he didn't believe that Cai Dao could win in the southern expedition.

Now, Cai Dao has fulfilled his promise, but even if Zhao Xu knows, he is happy to hear about it.

Zong Ze is not an ordinary corrupt Confucian, and his attitude towards this matter is likely to be neither for nor against. Perhaps, when Cai Dao arrives at Tianjin Xingang, Zong Ze will immediately go to the countryside to inspect after getting the news.

If it were Zhang Shuye, Cai Dao would not dare to guarantee that he would not oppose and obstruct Cai Dao's action. This is also the reason why Cai Dao recommended Zong Ze to Zhao Xu as the first prefect of Tianjin Mansion.

Bidding farewell to the Kim father and son, the magnificent fleet set sail all the way to the north, because it did not encounter the monsoon, although it was not so bumpy, but the speed of the whole fleet could not be improved.

……

It took more than a month for the fleet to finally arrive at the first stop of the trip, Tenjin Province.

Due to the hasty creation of the new mansion and the agreement reached between the Song and Liao dynasties, the Tianjin Mansion could not build a city wall more than one Khitan horse high, so the Tianjin Mansion at this time looked unusually simple from the outside.

However, it has replaced Mizhou as the most prosperous port in the north of the Great Song Dynasty. When the new law was put into effect, a new city was established in the city.

It is the first time that a ship of such a size and such a scale has been seen in a port in the entire north like Cai Dao's fleet.

However, when the merchants who came in a hurry inquired, there were not many people who were interested, Cai Dao transported them all young and strong men from Vietnam, and there was no shortage of people in the Great Song Kingdom and the Great Liao Kingdom.

If the Western Xia Kingdom heard about this, maybe he would make this deal with Cai Dao.

However, nearly 100,000 Vietnamese pigs on these ships were fully booked.

Among them, those who are the strongest, Cai Dao has promised to give Zhang Lei 30,000 people, not a penny, because the people of the entire Hedong Road who are basically willing to leave their hometowns have been secretly transported to Yizhou Island by Cai Dao, and in the heavy snow in the eighth year of Yuanfeng, Hedong Road and Hezhong Mansion have lost one-third of the population.

Eight years have passed, but the entire Hedong Road has become a population depression in the Great Song Dynasty.

During the Yuanyou period, the conservative ministers were resigned, allowing Zheng Xia and Fan Zuyu to transfer the inaction and blind actions of the envoys.

As soon as Zhao Xu became in power, a minister raised the matter, and after Zhang Lei's arrival, he quickly noticed this, and also wrote an urgent document and reported it to Zhao Xu.

There are many solutions to this problem proposed by the ministers, but in general, they are nothing more than two directions:

First, a part of the landless tenants from some densely populated areas were transferred to Hedong Road or Hezhong Fu. However, these areas must be selected north of the Yangtze River, because the people in the south will certainly not be able to adapt to the cold weather in winter on Hedong Road.

The second is to move the people of the original Hedong Road who have settled in Jinghu South Road for eight years back to Hedong Road.

These people are the people of Hedong Road, and it is understandable to bring them back again.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the second opinion was raised, it hurt the hornet's nest. Officials who have moved and will move their families to Jinghu South Road immediately stood out against the motion.

Jinghu South Road itself is also vast and sparsely populated, and before Zhang Dian subdued the Meishan barbarians, the Han people here were even more scarce, and there were even Han people who were hijacked by those barbarians to their tribes to farm for these satisfactions. If, as the proposed minister said, the same problem as Hedong Road will inevitably occur on Jinghu South Road, then these officials who moved their families to Jinghu South Road will definitely suffer even greater losses.

This is completely contrary to the conditions promised by Zhao Xu at the beginning.

If there are not enough people, Zhao Xu will not be able to grow food even if he allocates more land to them. Then, his reputation as an emperor among his ministers will definitely be greatly affected.

And in the north, those densely populated areas, have just experienced a large-scale and vigorous conscription.

If the people's forces are drawn from these places, will it cause a larger-scale commotion, and no one will dare to fight this guarantee.

Han Zhen and Zhang Dian were also extremely worried, in order to ensure the stability of Shaosheng's government in the early years, Zhao Xu, under the advice of the two prime ministers, finally suppressed the matter first.

Cai Dao's Vietnamese pigs brought back this time have solved the urgent needs of Hedong Road, Hezhong Fu, and Jinghu South Road. Don't look at the number of nearly 100,000 people, but compared to the population market of the Great Song Dynasty, it is a drop in the bucket.

Those Jiangmen families and royal families who moved to Lingnan needed these pigs even more.

Father-in-law Hu, who came to hear the news, didn't care about catching up with Cai Dao at all, so he started to work on the next things.
