Chapter 429: Linhai Province

And according to the plan, in the future, Daming will also invest more manpower and material resources to extend the navigable river section to Zhengtu City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info This not only promotes the further development of Linbei District, but also links the economy of Zhengtu City and Mingjing City more deeply.

And the formation of complementary resources, to promote the northern province represented by Zhengtu City, to become the logistics supply base of the Mingjing municipality.

At the same time, it turns around again and extends to the south. Linhai City, the capital of Linhai Province, is also included.

As a result, the Ming Kyoto City Circle, on the basis of the original Huanming Expressway, has an additional water transportation lifeline.

At that time, the Mingjing metropolitan area plan can also become a reality as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Yang Chong couldn't help but be moved. On the embankment, he encouraged the accompanying officials to work hard to do their jobs. Together, contribute to the beautiful Mingming.

He then got into a carriage and headed south along the Huanming Highway into Linhai Province.

Along the way, there was no traffic, and chickens and dogs smelled each other. On the lattice-shaped ridges, there are children playing and cattle and sheep grazing leisurely. Such a sight gave rise to a burst of satisfaction in his heart. After all, a few years ago, this land was still barren. But with the joint efforts of him and the builders of the Ming Dynasty, this wasteland is full of vitality.

This kind of change is indeed something to be happy about.

Only from time to time, there are shepherd boys riding cattle and sheep, leisurely walking through the highway. The car had to stop temporarily.

"Hey! Kid, come here! A guard was instructed by Yang Chong to call a shepherd boy riding on the back of an ox. I saw that its head was shaved naked, and the sunlight was shining on it, and it was a little dazzling.

He wears shorts and a vest, and his body is small and his skin is dark. But a pair of eyes, dripping, revealing cleverness.

When she was brought to Yang Chong, Princess Yuxuan also looked at her lovingly. Because Princess Yuxuan gave birth to a baby boy last year. So as a first-time mother, the whole person is also full of the soft light of maternal love.

It's just that this inspection is on official business. So it's inconvenient to bring children. As a result, after a day or two of separation, I couldn't suppress the thoughts in my heart.

Then when he saw the child, he said in a soft voice, "Come, there is candy here." โ€ใ€‚

Seeing so many people before, the child was still a little timid. But after seeing Yuxuan's candy, the defense in my heart was relaxed. He hesitated and rolled up the corners of his clothes. One moment I looked down at my toes, and the next I looked at the candy. And constantly licking his lips and swallowing saliva.

This appearance made Yang Chong laugh. He asked in a gentle tone, "What?" Don't you like candy? โ€ใ€‚ As he spoke, he took out two or three pieces of osmanthus cake from the carriage. The child's eyes immediately straightened.

But as if he had scruples, he took two steps forward, but did not dare to stretch out his hand. He said hesitantly: "My father said that you can't eat other people's things casually." โ€ใ€‚ As he spoke, he licked his lips and revealed what he wanted to eat.

Yang Chong immediately held back a smile and pretended to think about the child: "That's it! You call me Uncle Yang, call her Aunt Yang. In that case, we are no one else. โ€ใ€‚

The child immediately grabbed his head and thought seriously about Yang Chong's method. Seeing this, Yang Chong flickered a few more words. Under the temptation of osmanthus cakes and sweets, the children finally shouted to them and grabbed the food in their hands.

After that, Yang Chong asked the child's name and where he lived. And under the guidance of the children, they came to the nearby Wangjia Village.

It is a migrant village that was established a few years ago. Although almost all the people in the village have the surname Wang, they are not their own family. Even pure-blooded Han people have only three or five households. The others are basically naturalized people in Australia. In addition to this, there was a small amount of white people who settled after the gold panning.

Because the Ming Dynasty implemented the policy of 'changing the name of the Chinese', no matter where the immigrants were, they all changed their names to the Han name. And because the Han people who settled before were all surnamed Wang. Therefore, the rest of the people in this village have followed the surname Wang.

There are many phenomena like this in all parts of the Ming Dynasty. After all, many naturalized people don't have names. As for the surname, even less. I can only follow the Han people and change my surname to some of the more common surnames.

This is an extremely beneficial catalyst for ethnic integration.

At the moment, Yang Chong and Yuxuan were dressed as businessmen. And with a few guards disguised as guys, they came to Wangjia Village. Because it is located on the side of the highway, the people of Wangjia Village are not uncommon with foreign merchants. Sometimes, some household goods are also traded.

So they were not surprised at all by Yang Chong's arrival. It's just that Yuxuan is more outstanding, which makes many men inevitably take a few more looks. provoked those women, and they all stared at Yuxuan with white eyes.

When they arrived at the children's house, a woman who was feeding the chickens immediately came up to talk enthusiastically. When Yang Chong said that they were merchants who were on the road and wanted to have a light meal here, the woman hesitated for a while, but agreed.

Yang Chong looked at it, but didn't say much.

Then the woman brought them into the house and handed them some cups of hot tea. In a cup, there are just a few tea leaves, so that the water is so cool, can be used as a mirror. Looking at the furnishings in the house, they are all very simple. Except for a few tables and chairs, a few faded New Year paintings, there are few other decorations.

The woman's clothes were patched with several patches. Obviously, the family situation is somewhat difficult.

A short time later, a barefoot man with dark and shiny skin led three and a half children in through the door. When they learned that Yang Chong was a merchant from Mingjing, they exchanged pleasantries for a while.

When it was time to eat, the woman served five large dishes. Among them, four vegetables and one meat, but the amount is not much. Yang Chong also wanted the family to eat together, but the family refused to serve anything. A few children also watched with blank eyes. Especially the roast chicken, they have to be stared out of the hole.

This made Yang Chong and them embarrassed to eat. He put down his chopsticks, came to the man's side, took his hand, and asked him if he had any difficulties. and asked the guards to take out a few Chinese dollars with a face value of five yuan and hand them over to the male host.

Unexpectedly, the man refused to accept anything.

However, the difficulties encountered are still eloquent. Originally, since the purchase of commercial tickets was restricted, it was difficult to buy all kinds of materials. Not to mention anything else, the food is in great short supply. After all, they have four children and six people. But the whole family only has four food stamps a month. For two children, it is converted into one sheet.

Although their family also grows grain, they were all purchased by the higher authorities due to the war. That's why the life of the family is tight.

Hearing this, Yang Chong was also very uncomfortable.

When he visited Mingjing before, he didn't really feel the impact of the restriction on the purchase of commercial tickets on the people. Now that this is deeply rooted in the people, I feel it deeply when I have a light meal.

Although commercial bills have been gradually abolished at present, this is implemented by type and region. Like Linhai Province, it is one to two months slower than Mingjing.

He relieved himself a few words, and took out a few food stamps and meat stamps that he had brought with him, which were regarded as food money. After a long period of rejection, the family was embarrassed to accept it.
