Chapter 198: Leaving Shuzhou along the river

The news they got in advance made Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan very passive and hurried back to the yard.

"Good place, the population of the entire state is more than 4,000, there are mountains and rivers." Zhang Xiaobao found the location on the map, looked at the note next to it, and gritted his teeth and praised.

Wang Juan was also a little confused, drew his hand on the map twice, and then said: "The most important thing is not to worry about eating cold drinks in summer, you can get it up the mountain, and to the north is Minshan, do you think of this place?" I like the snow of Minshan Mountain, and it is also close to Jiuzhaigou, so I don't need to spend ticket money to go now. ”

"According to this, Li Longji is not bad, knowing that it is difficult to walk by land, he chose a waterway for us, and along the Yangtze River, we can go directly to the place, and there is no need to transport rent and taxes to the capital, and we have to eat 300 catties of grain on the way to transport 100 catties of grain to the locality.

But I wondered, Li Longji lacks heart? What are you doing when you transfer us to Yizhou at this time? If you change to a place with a good foundation, you can get a state where taxes are doubled in a year, there are about 4,000 people there, and it has a plateau climate, do you want to see if our medical team is qualified? ”

Zhang Xiaobao didn't even think of what Li Longji wanted to do, even if he used people as tools, he had to put them in a more suitable place, and now he couldn't play the full role of the Zhang family in Yizhou, so he wanted to lead those 4,000 people to get rich?

Wang Juan is also worried, worried about the climate there, from morning to night, the temperature difference is large, there are many mountains, humidity is a very common phenomenon, plus the altitude sickness that is easy to appear, a bad one will die.

Thinking of his life, Wang Juan asked nervously: "Xiaobao, could it be that Li Longji is preparing to kill?" Send us there so that we can't adapt to altitude sickness and die directly in Yizhou so that he doesn't have to worry about us making more things later. ”

"He's not so confused, it's not easy to kill people, arrange my father directly to Yaozhou as an official, close to the capital, send troops to kill, why arrange to go to Yizhou? It is estimated that he is also in a dilemma, so it is better to go over and take a look, we don't have drugs for altitude sickness.

Rhodiola is counted as one, I can't do it, let alone the rest of the medicine, I have to make a pressure cooker, otherwise I have to eat fried and baked things, you also think about it, since it is to let the past, you have to go there to see it, but you can't hang under altitude sickness. ”

Zhang Xiaobao thought of a large family, fortunately, it is still Yizhou, if you get ***, it will be even more over, the only thing that can comfort yourself is that the place where the family used to live also belongs to the plateau, although it is relatively short, I am afraid that the little ones will not adapt.

"So you have to go? Then there are butter tea and salvia pills available, do you want to make a sealed jar, put people inside, and then pump out the air little by little like pumping the air in a light bulb? Let the air pressure form inside? Exercise ahead of time first. Wang Juan asked.

"Go, isn't there just a few people, don't be afraid, there is really a high mountain and the emperor is far away, the medicine is prepared, the exercise is not needed, and the equipment is not easy to do."

Zhang Xiaobao really doesn't believe in this evil, isn't it just that the place is biased, the conditions are poor, and the population is smaller.

As soon as Wang Juan saw that Zhang Xiaobao had decided, he put the map away, and suddenly remembered a very important matter: "Xiaobao, the people there don't seem to be easy to deal with. ”

"It's okay, the ethnic problem is not a problem, as long as they are still eating, as long as they are still wearing clothes, as long as they are still sick, then they can all communicate, at the beginning there was no nation, it was just apes living in various places, if it was really calculated by region, then where was the Central Plains at the beginning? It's that big. ”

Zhang Xiaobao is not concerned about the affairs of a certain nation now, but about how to develop in the locality, which seems to be not so easy.

After the two of them finished discussing, they found Old Man Bi and gave an answer, Li Longji seemed to mean the same thing, discuss it first, otherwise the news would not be released.

"Grandpa Bi, my family agreed, let's go to Yizhou, but Yizhou is a lower state, and my father's grade is ......" Zhang Xiaobao, who saw the four old men, began to make a request.

Old man Bi and the others thought that Zhang and Wang would find a way to shirk it, but they didn't expect to agree so quickly, thinking about the situation there, and said: "Xiaobao, don't worry, when you get there, your father is still in charge of the military and government, and there are higher official positions, which can only be promoted, not demoted." ”

Zhang Xiaobao pouted, there are about 4,000 people in total, and they may not be able to control it, don't they integrate the military and the government? Do you want to send another recorder to join the army? And the other official positions are allotted? It is estimated that when you get there, you will be able to meet a few officials who have been assigned.

It is more dangerous over there than Luzhou, and the officials who are assigned can be described as nine deaths.

Zhang Xiaobao was depressed that Fang Zi handed it over, but he did not get the benefits he deserved, this must be mentioned, and it is not easy to mention it.

"Grandpa Bi, let's talk about it first, it's different from other places, my family needs to bring a lot of fine iron this time, otherwise I can't even make farm tools, and the price of local well salt is too high in the future, so I have to let my family choose a salt pond around the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the salt transported to Yizhou is not allowed to be intercepted."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, as long as your family can repair the road there, build it to the capital, and the four-lane one is good, that's a great achievement." This time it was the old man Yao who gave a guarantee, and he also longed to build the road.

"Don't, my family doesn't want this great achievement, I can't afford to fix it, Grandpa Yao, you don't know what's going on there, right? I really want to repair that road, and all the money my family earns every year will be built into it, and if it takes thirty or fifty years to build it, I may be able to build a road that connects two carriages from that side to the capital.

But what's the use of that? The purpose of building roads is to make the place rich by convenient transportation, and if my family comes up with 30 years of profits, it is better to give the money directly to the locals, and it will not be much to give it every year, and when it comes to the day when the road needs to be repaired, someone will naturally find a way. ”

Zhang Xiaobao was taken aback by Old Man Yao's words, he couldn't be clearer about what the situation was there, repaired with stones, a few heavy rains, it should be bad, with cement, it is not suitable there, and there is no asphalt, isn't it a pit man, why not talk about building a Sichuan-Tibet four-lane road? The credit is even greater.

If you cross the Himalayan mountains and build a four-lane road, you can directly connect to Nepal, and maybe it can also facilitate international exchanges, nonsense.

Zhang Xiaobao's answer so happily made the four old men feel incredible, don't the Zhang and Wang families like to build roads very much, wherever the Zhang and Wang families are, most of them help build the road first, how can they be timid when they mention Yizhou?

"Xiaobao, do you have any plans for Yizhou?" Liu Zhirou has been interested in this matter since she saw the set of Shuzhou construction plans.

"Yes, my family's first plan is how to get to the place alive, four grandfathers, this is not a glorious way to be an official, it is no different from distribution, how difficult is it to go up the Yangtze River upstream? You can't give up the waterway and go by land, that's even more complete. ”

Zhang Xiaobao showed the dissatisfaction in his heart, if it made people feel relaxed, maybe they could be sent to Mohe next time, where it would be convenient to make ice lanterns.

Zhang Xiaobao expressed the meaning clearly, and hurriedly returned to the courtyard with Wang Juan to make arrangements, and the four old men stood in place and didn't know how to speak for a while.

Especially Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao, who had said before, arranged Zhang Zhong to Luoyang, and also took other people's prescriptions, but now the situation has changed, and they always feel weak when facing Xiaobao and Juan Juan.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who returned to the courtyard, were not idle, and were about to leave, it is estimated that Li Longji will not be able to wait for tomorrow, otherwise he will not pass the news now, and it is likely that the appointment will come down in the summer.

There is no place to spread out the business here, and the place where the construction is good, you must first recover the investment, even if you leave, you must first stabilize the business of Shuzhou, and wait until you get to Yizhou to build the road, but not to build the road to the capital, but to the road to Chengdu, which will use a lot of money.

Zhang Xiaobao is counting on taking out the profits from Shuzhou.

Taking out the business map of Shuzhou, Zhang Xiaobao pointed to one of the places: "Here, build a leather processing factory, and the pigs raised by the local people will be concentrated here for processing when the pigs are slaughtered, and the processing plants for ham and bacon will be built in each county."

Send it to the nearest place, sell ham and bacon far away, keep pig hair to make brushes, and keep poultry too, and send it to Sanshui County to be processed into down jackets and duvets, what else did you not think of? Help think about it, it's too urgent. ”

"There are also fish and crabs, although it is to increase the yield of rice, but it can not be wasted, the meat is made into dry, the corresponding processing workshop is established, the shell and bones are ground into powder, used as bone meal, mixed with other crops is feed, can be sent to the Yangtze River, that is, the south bank.

Cooperate with them, I believe they will be willing, in addition to local business practices, do you want to send out a few boats along the river first, and make arrangements in front of the head, what about the two families, not to mention Grandpa Bi and them. ”

Wang Juan followed Zhang Luo, and at the same time served as the secretary, writing down what the two people thought of.

"Yes, you have to send people first, the waterway is not easy to walk, you don't need to use the slender fula, the people of the zero team are sent out twenty, adapt to the climate first, it is best to find more people before leaving, there can be only the zero team, take advantage of the distance from the capital, the place is special, expand the seedling protection team, it is considered a periphery, pay attention to confidentiality."

Zhang Xiaobao doesn't want to suffer losses, and if he has the opportunity to make up for the loss, he has to take advantage of it.

Ten days later, the three ships carrying the vanguard of Zhang Wang's two families set out on the road, loaded with salt, even if there was well salt over there, they had to decorate more, after all, the price of salt there was high, and 4,000 people had to eat salt, and life was not easy.

In addition to salt, there is also cotton cloth, which is used to make clothes for the locals, and then there is iron, and when you get there, let the locals make iron as tools, or make hunting bows, no matter what, let the people see hope, so that they can support Zhang Zhong.

One by one, the workshops began to be built, and the will of the imperial court was transmitted to the state capitals around Shuzhou, and people were transferred from other places to take over the position of officials when the Zhang and Wang families left, and now many places still use the inner courtyards of the two families.

When the cries of toads resounded through the rice fields, Zhang Zhong's order finally arrived, and Li Xun was also ready to travel, and rushed to the outside of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's yard with the guards.
