Chapter 544: One Says Making Money First
Chasing Books
The children tried hard to imagine the majestic scene of Xiaobei Jiuren in the court, but they couldn't think of anything, the most intuitive impression can only be the appearance of Xiaobei when he faced Watanabe Eleven, and Xiaobei at that moment and Xiaobei in front of him were definitely not alone. (Please remember our URL)
The girl who took the doll before, when she thought of Xiaobei's dignified, rich and official, she had no bottom in her heart, and asked Xiaobei timidly: "Xiaobei, are we friends?" β
"No...... We are not friends. Xiaobei shook her head: "We are sisters, officialdom...... You can't, wicker weaving...... I can't, let's join forces, sister I'...... Responsible for the affairs of officialdom, willow weaving...... It's all up to my sister. β
Xiaobei Jiuren has always received such an education, there will be no mistakes, of course, Xiaobei will not be perfunctory, just like Zhang Qiang, who was the son of the mountain people in Luzhou, recognized the righteous son, as well as Zhang Gang and Zhang Fang in Yizhou, as well as the big man and the little man.
The five children, no matter what their original intentions were, at least they did not have any prejudices, their food and clothing were the same, and the education they received was the same, and the Zhang and Wang families treated them equally, even if they made mistakes and were beaten, and slapped Xiaobei twice, they would not be slapped once, and they would also be beaten twice.
Of course, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have not beaten their younger siblings, not that they can't, they are disdainful, Zhang Xiaobao always thinks that children are disobedient, adults have no ability, and parents with low self-esteem beat their children, and the child is a clean white paper, writing wrong words, drawing crookedly, do you want to complain that the paper is not good?
So Xiaobei, who received such an education, is not a lie, naturally, it is so sincere.
The little girl who asked the question had not received the corresponding education, so she was moved for a while, biting her lip and nodding vigorously: "I must do a good job of willow weaving, Xiaobei, let me ask you, in the early dynasty, did so many big officials sit on very beautiful chairs?" It's not easy to rush over the county order or something? β
Xiaobei was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "How can there be, the county order can't enter at all, and only five-grade officials can enter the court, let alone chairs, just stand outside, the right row, most of them are military attachΓ©s, the left row, most of them are civil officials, and there are semi-literate and non-military, and they stand very chaotic."
Have you seen the steps? They just stand down the steps, standing at the bottom of the last place without steps, basically all of them are five-grade officials, in case of rain and snow, the officials of the third grade and above in front of them also have a canopy umbrella or something, and the others will stand up.
They should thank my brother and sister, my brother and sister laid the heating under the Hanyuan Palace, otherwise they would freeze to death in winter, before, when the weather was warm, the emperor's uncle was outside, and when it was cold, it was in the palace, there was a heater, as for the emperor's uncle and them, there was a Jin Wuwei to stop them.
Now it's okay, the emperor's uncle is outside, sitting on a wide and thick chair, my family makes it, there are a lot of people, it has to be like this, when there are few people, go to Xingqing Palace.
When I went to Hanyuan Palace, I was afraid that my father would beat me, saying that I always caused trouble, and there were not many times when I went to Xingqing Palace, it was not fun, and the place I went to the most was Furong Garden, and when I met the opening to the outside world, there were many people. β
The children around blinked their big eyes and listened carefully, they had never been to the capital, let alone participated in the early dynasty, and it was impossible for anyone to tell them at ordinary times, now listening to Xiaobei, naturally you have to be careful, Xiaobei will at least not lie.
"Then what do you eat in the Holy Heavens today? Is it dragon meat in the sky? A little kid asked.
"Where? I don't even know what the dragon looks like, what does it eat, what do you say? Oh, in this way, I asked people to arrange it, mix some ingredients over, and taste it together, that's it, the food is good, but there is not too much, especially when my brother does it, what does my brother cook and what the emperor's uncle eats. β
Xiaobei tried hard to recall the food he ate, and found that it was not as good as what he ate at home, but in order to satisfy others, he had to find a way to mix ingredients to make it.
"Sister Xiaobei, where did you stand when you went to court? And your brother and sister. β
"Me? I don't stand, I sit in the arms of the emperor's uncle, and I usually turn my head. β
"Why?"
"I'm afraid that when I see my father, my father will glare at me when he sees me, so I have to go down and let my father hug me, and it's not comfortable to sit in the hug, right?" Xiaobei has one thing to say.
"Other officials don't object?"
"Who dares? There have been a few deliberate mistakes that I hope for the impeachment of the Goshidai. β
"Did they impeach?"
"No, if I don't impeach them, they're going to burn high incense, a bunch of cowards."
"Then why?"
"Because I dare to stand on the Hanyuan Palace, in front of the civil and military officials, pat my chest and say, 'I, Zhang Xiaobei, didn't take a penny from the people, I Xiaobei don't compromise with any corrupt officials, I have never done anything to harm the people, and my loyalty can be shown to the sun and the moon.' And they don't dare to say the same thing as me, it's as simple as that. β
Becky puffed up proudly.
Xiaoyuan echoed beside him: "It's drip, it's drip, my sister said that the officials are not afraid of my strictness, but afraid of my integrity; The people do not obey my ability, but obey my father. β
The children had never heard of it, but they could understand it, and they nodded their heads one by one, and one of them exclaimed: "Sister Juan Juan is so amazing, what she said is so right." β
Xiaobei shook his head: "But after my sister said it, my brother said, 'I would rather have an official who can increase the living income of the local people ten times and embezzle the second or third of them, rather than an honest official who makes the local people live a hard life and can't live happily'."
My brother said, I don't want the officials to see me incorruptible, I only hope that the officials will send warmth to the people, and I don't ask the people to obey my father, but I will cover the children in the cold winter with duck down, ruin my reputation for thousands of years, and create a prosperous future. β
Children, I was lost again for a while.
"Eh, look at this shaking, it can toss the old man's bones and fall apart." Just as a group of children were listening to the story, an old man's shout came from the suspension bridge.
Xiaobei turned her head to look at it, and was suddenly stunned.
The old man on the bridge didn't seem to plan to shut up, and still complained: "It is said that the Zheng Zheng Construction Group of the Zhang and Wang families has created iron bones, and today's broken bridge also has iron bones?" Eh, it can shake me miserably. β
When the children heard someone complaining that the things of Zheng Zheng Construction Group were not good, they stopped doing it, and they glared angrily one by one, regardless of the protection of many people around the old man, no matter why he was not stopped by the people of the seedling protection team, and it was not okay to say bad things about Zheng Zheng Construction.
"Bi~ Grandpa, why are you here? Haha" Xiao Beidang opened his arms first and ran towards the old man, followed by Xiao Yuan and the others.
"Let grandpa report it, oops, it's so heavy, old man, I can't hold it." It was Bi Gou who had just crossed the bridge, he should have hung up early, because Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came, and he was still alive and well, so he picked Xiaobei up and put it on the ground, holding his waist with both hands and saying 'old'.
Even so, the other eight children, Bi Gou, hugged each other and touched Xiaohai's head again: "What about your brother and your sister?" β
"Cleaning up people in the county." Xiaohai replied.
"Grandpa Bi, what are you doing here?" Xiaobei grabbed Bi Gou's hand and asked with a raised face.
Bi Gou waved his hand to the guards behind him, telling them to stay away and not scare the children, and then said with a smile: "Come and find your brother to fish, the fish in the water and clouds are too stupid, and it is not fun to fish, I heard that there is a lot of water here, and there should be a lot of fish." β
"Hongnong's water is man-made, and Yan Zheng's guy dares to destroy the embankment, which makes me angry too much." Becky pouted and muttered.
"Oh, isn't it, I'll impeach him when I return to Beijing, I heard that there are people from the Zhang and Wang families here, so I'll come over, ...... are you here?" Bi Gou thought that Zhang Xiaobao was there, but he met Xiaobei and his party.
"The county seat is going to be rebuilt, and the children are in the way, so I brought them here to hide." Xiaobei looked proud.
Bi Gou pondered, he hadn't seen the situation in Hongnong County with his own eyes, and he had only heard what others had said before he came, and he couldn't make an accurate judgment, so he asked: "Xiaobei, tell grandpa, are there many destroyed houses in the county?" β
Xiaobei shook his head: "Not much, most of the county is blistered, and the highest water is here." β
As she spoke, Xiaobei stretched out her hand and drew a position on her head, apparently telling Bi Gou that the highest water level in the county had exceeded her height.
"Xiaobei measured it with his body." Xiaoyuan added on the side that the so-called use of the body is naturally Xiaobei who personally walked to the deep water to lay the foundation.
Bi Gou touched Xiaobei's head, looked at Xiaoyuan again, and said: "Since there is nothing to do, I think it will be built in the county soon. β
Xiao Yuan shook his head first, and then nodded: "Grandpa Bi, it's not so bad, most of the county is still soaking in water, fortunately, the rain has stopped, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." β
Xiao Hai also stood up, he was not as coquettish as Xiao Bei, so his closeness to Bi Gou was not so obvious, and he greeted Bi Gou politely, and said:
"Grandpa Bi, my brother said, what is really serious is not how Hongnong County is, Hongnong's county town is not better than the capital Chang'an, nor is it better than Luoyang, which involves too many important shops for people's livelihood, and there are some mansions with some heritage.
The elder brother said that if he had a choice, he would rather the county seat be washed away, the villages outside the county seat should be preserved, and the transportation of Honglu water would be preserved. β
After saying this, Xiao Hai stopped speaking, he didn't say anything specific, and the other children didn't add anything to Bi Wei.
Bi Gou pondered for a while and figured out the reason, what Zhang Xiaobao meant was that the county seat was washed away, and the surrounding area was stable, so it would be easy to rebuild the county seat, because Hongnong is a county of agriculture and water transportation.
The county seat is nothing more than a temporary residence and negotiation place for businessmen who have turnover of various goods, and if the county seat is gone, it will be gone, and it will not affect the businessmen to change places to negotiate business again, nor will it affect the turnover of agricultural products.
"Xiaobei, tell grandpa, is it that Hongnong has lost too many crops, and there are also all kinds of livestock and poultry mentioned in the breeding plan that your brother raised later, and they have also lost a lot."
Bi Conceive thought of the seriousness, if the news he got from Xiaobei's mouth matched what he thought, then this winter, Hongnong's life would not be easy.
Xiaobei nodded vigorously, and before she could speak, she cried first, the one who cried was sad.
It wasn't until Bi Gou comforted him that he rubbed his eyes, held his mouth, and sobbed twice to tell Bi Gou about what Hongnong had seen.
Bi Gou listened to Xiao Bei's explanation, his eyes couldn't help but red, Xiao Bei said that when she went to Hongnong, she saw an ocean, Wang Yang Bi Gou understood, he had been to sea.
What Xiaobei saw was that the trees were crooked or falling, and there was not a single grain still growing in the fields that should have been harvested in the autumn, all of them were gone, some were floating on the water, and some were not clear where they had washed away.
There are also houses outside the county seat, some of which have a fairly tenacious gable, and some of which are simply a village where you can only see floating wood huddled together.
The water was muddy, and when you swam on it, you didn't dare to ventilate easily, and the white foam mixed between the sticks, dead pigs, dead dogs, dead chickens, and a few ducks and geese looking for food, even the rats floated.
In some places, the stagnant water could not be drained out, and it became dirty and smelly, and I saw dead people swelling several times.
"Grandpa Bi, if I hadn't known that this was Hongnong when I came, I would have thought I had gone to the wrong place, Grandpa Bi, do you know? That's not a question of how much money is lost at all, but how long it will take for Hongnong to recover.
The surrounding food is gone, everyone is crowded in the county, my family has a wagon of materials to transport here, my brother has given an order, hire manpower from the surrounding places to send necessary goods to Hongnong, the water transport has long been stopped, the dam has not been blocked, a cart of stones fell, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye, woo~. β
Xiaobei cried again as she spoke.
Bi Gou gritted the front teeth in front of him, and he finally learned the most real situation from Xiaobei's words, that is to say, the foundation of the entire Hongnong has collapsed, and if there are no corresponding strong measures, it will take many years for the people of Hongnong to recover.
Years of savings are gone, some family members are dead, the house has to be rebuilt, and they have to live in debt for a period of time, and the most terrible thing is that the people of Hongnong have just gotten used to planting new seeds from Sinong Temple, and have just increased the yield per mu.
I have just understood the nesting and breeding of livestock in large quantities, and it is in a harvest year that we all know that good days are coming, and suddenly a man-made disaster comes down, and hope turns into disappointment, the kind of wound in the heart caused by the government's inaction, no, the persecution imposed by the government officials, is the most difficult to heal.
"Xiaobei won't cry, everything will be fine." Bi Gou sighed, closed his eyes, gasped deeply a few times, and touched Xiaobei's head to comfort.
Xiaobei nodded vigorously: "I don't cry, crying can't solve the difficulties, I want to take the children in the old willow village, I promise, not only to let them be stable here, but also not to delay their studies, wait, wait for me, wait for me to go back to the capital, bring Yan Zheng back, see how I clean him up." β
"That's good, Xiaobei did the best." Bi Gou didn't doubt Xiaobei's words at all, he believed that Yan Zheng's disaster was coming, and the final outcome must be Yan Zheng's own madness.
As for the specific situation, I still need to go to the county seat to see Zhang Xiaobao to be clear, and I can only hope that Zhang Xiaobao can turn the tide, support Hongnong's affairs as soon as possible, and solve the people's lives before winter comes.
"It's not going to be a good winter." Bi Gou said indignantly.
"It's okay, it's okay in winter." Xiao Yuan said firmly.
"Oh? Why? Bi Gou looked over and asked.
"Because, because we spent money, we paid in advance with our pocket money, more than 1.3 million yuan, my brother is mobilizing materials from the surrounding places, and several engineering teams near Zhengzheng Construction are also rushing here, and the follow-up construction materials will be delivered soon.
My brother said that this time we must let the people of Hongnong live in warm and sturdy houses in winter, because this time the disaster was caused by the government personnel, and the government must not lose its credibility.
Within half a month, all the stagnant water will be drained, within a month, the houses will be built, and within two months, all the livestock and poultry lost by the people will be compensated, and at the same time, the land and water routes will be completed, and they will be better than before.
If there are not enough local manpower in the county, they will be transferred from outside, and if there are few people who come, the army will be on top, even if they take it in their mouths, and they must drain the stagnant water one by one.
So that the people of Hongnong know that the imperial court attaches great importance to them and has never given up, and only by doing so can they eliminate the negative impact of Yan Zheng and other people from the government. β
Xiao Yuan told Bi Gou one by one, with confidence in his eyes, as if what he said could be realized immediately, because the decision was made by his brother.
Bi Gou was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhang Xiaobao to attach so much importance to it, of course, after knowing Zhang Xiaobao's decision, he was also relieved, since Zhang Xiaobao wanted to do it, he would definitely be able to do it.
"Oh, you guys put pocket money in? Is it that the family can't turn around for a while? Bi Gou was more curious about this matter in Xiaoyuan's words, couldn't the two Zhang and Wang families even draw 1.3 million yuan?
Xiaobei waved his hand and said: "No, how can my family have no money, it was after I came first, I saw the disaster situation, and made a guarantee to the people, anyway, I don't need too much money." β
"Becky is such a good boy." Bi Gou praised.
"That's it." Becky nodded.
"Okay, old man, I won't stay here longer, go to the county seat, meet your brother, and discuss important matters with him, the matter here is handed over to Xiaobei, I believe Xiaobei can do it well." Bi Gou was going to leave.
"No problem, goodbye Grandpa Bi." Becky straightened her chest.
When Bi Gou walked away, Xiaobei and a group of children continued to make dolls, and they were more motivated.
Walking on the road to the county seat, Bi Gou saw the fields on both sides that had become barren, tired of walking, when he stopped to rest, he looked at the sky, and sighed: "**More natural disasters, Xiaobao will not do this just to appease the people, why do you say?" β
Bi Gou asked the housekeeper next to him, the housekeeper is still young, he is the grandson of the old housekeeper, he is still a young man, he is in his thirties, and he has a long experience, Bi Gou intends to take him to see Zhang Xiaobao, because he has just been a housekeeper for a short time, and he knows more about Zhang Xiaobao from others.
Hearing Bi Gou's question, the housekeeper replied respectfully: "Master, is it Zhang Xiaobao who wants to achieve his own reputation?" I heard that today's saint specially added an autumn festival for him and Wang Juan, but he encountered something, and after delaying it for another month, he has a reputation, and he has a greater certainty of winning the championship. β
"Huh." Bi Gou looked at his young butler and smiled.
"Chang Cheng", Bi Gou said the housekeeper's words: "Xiaobao still needs Hongnong's reputation?" If he doesn't go to Hongnong in person, but let Xiaobei nine babies do things, it may really just be to rebuild Hongnong.
However, he came, and Juan Juan also came, you said that Xiaobao couldn't mobilize the army by himself? Don't just treat him as a civil official, when he was in Tibet, he and Juan Juan had fought tactical cooperation, even if he couldn't command the army before, and he couldn't learn a little bit from being with Juan Juan every day? That's a fool.
How could Xiaobao be a fool, he didn't show his military talents, and Juan Juan didn't show his economic and political talents is the same reason, unless they are close people, others will have the impression of them as a man of literature and martial arts, and act against them when dealing with the two of them.
They are waiting for the person who is going to deal with them to feel that the time is ripe, and the moment they make a move, they will let the other party know that Wen can change his martial arts at any time, and Wu can also immediately transfer Wen, but is it clear? β
The housekeeper known as Chang Cheng frightened Bi Gou's words, thought about it carefully, and admitted: "It was really scary to meet that time, but I still don't know what the difference is that Zhang Xiaobao came in person. β
"I'll think of a few points, and I'll listen to you." Bi Gou actually didn't agree so much with the new housekeeper's ability, and the reason why he still used Chang Cheng was because he was loyal enough.
I really haven't guessed Zhang Xiaobao's motives for a long time, Bi Gou was a little excited for a while, in the past, he and a bunch of old guys, including the emperor, liked to do the most was to calculate Zhang Xiaobao, but every time it was a failure.
'Xiaobao acts, and has always been horned by antelopes. Thinking of this, Bi smiled and said to the butler:
"First, Xiaobao wants the Fan Metro Cavalry Battalion to adapt to the environment of Datang**, if I expect it to be correct, the other six battalions will follow, the most terrible soldiers, not only can they be good at fighting in the designated environment, just like their family's seedling protection team, according to their words, it is an all-terrain, all-weather combat force.
When fighting in water warfare, they are not as good as those who specialize in water warfare, and in mountain warfare, they are not as good as soldiers who specialize in fighting in mountains, and the same is true for grasslands and deserts.
However, they are not much inferior, under the command of the same generals, a thousand against a thousand, they will lose, but they will definitely not lose badly, but as long as they add two more teams of people, they will be superior in numbers, they will win.
The biggest problem is that the generals who command them are not ordinary people, but Juan Juan who gives military lessons to the generals of the Tang Dynasty.
The title given to her by our generals of the Tang Dynasty is the Demon Fox, and they all say that she is cunning like a fox, and when she has the advantage of troops, she can't expect to win against her, and when her forces are weak, she can always find opportunities.
Therefore, they want to train the iron cavalry battalion, the original place in Tibet, they don't need the current eight battalions to go over, there is no fighting there, and eight battalions are drawn out, they still have an army over there. β
After saying the first aspect, Bi Gou stopped, and the housekeeper hurriedly brought him water to drink.
"Master, according to what you said, isn't Wang Juan invincible? I can't find a general who can deal with her? The butler was not convinced.
Bi Gou waved his hand: "Juan Juan is not invincible, she also lost in the sand table deduction, even if she lost a few times, her loss was very small, and she successfully escaped, it was also a loss."
However, when Zhang Xiaobao cooperated with her as an adjutant to carry out sand table deduction, then she must be invincible, so we, the old immortals, and the emperor, have been studying why. β
"Master, have you researched it?" The butler wondered.
"It's been studied, because when cooperating with Juan Juan, Xiao Bao is responsible for logistics and intelligence, many times it is Xiao Bao's logistics army that finally decides the outcome of a battle, and when Juan Juan can't break the game, his favorite thing to do is to analyze the opponent's generals for Juan Juan, and we found that Xiao Bao can actually calculate people's hearts.
Juan Juan's command ability, coupled with Xiaobao's grasp of people's hearts, has created an undefeated army in my Tang Dynasty, if they are then arranged to put the military commanders of their families into the sand table, as the battalion commander, captain or team leader, then the cooperation is called a tacit understanding.
I've seen it once, and they've only fought once, when they were in the capital, with the same troops, and even the commander of the generals was a seven-rank military attachΓ©, and it could be said that they were elite on the big sand table in Shannan Dongdao.
Juan Juan is the main general of the other party, Xiaobao is the adjutant, and the leaders of the small team below are all the commanders of their families.
On the side of the generals, there are communication and liaison troops everywhere, and Juan Juan does not make much contact at all, and sometimes a tactical order is not taken care of, and she does not even ask where some of her troops are.
In this way, without any contact, Juan Juan led her people to play one beautiful cooperation after another, and Xiaobao's logistics team was able to accurately deliver supplies to every key place, so that the generals only had the ability to parry, and they had no power to fight back.
Have you ever seen a team of more than 100 people dare to forcibly intersperse between mountains without receiving an order? Have you ever seen when there is no contact, after Xiaobao sends the logistics materials to a place, the moment the generals carry out a sneak attack, a large number of counter-sneak attack soldiers suddenly appear around? β
Bi Gou said excitedly to the butler, and when he talked about the highlights, he danced with his hands, as if he was the one who commanded the team.
The butler had already listened stupidly, shook his head blankly, and kept muttering: "How can this be? How so? β
"Haven't seen it, have you? It's right if I haven't seen it, when I'm waiting for the autumn festival, maybe I can give you a place to watch, take you to see, the autumn bird is going to take the martial arts champion, and the generals want to avenge this, and the horse team led by the generals will compete with the guns and artillery teams in Jiangnan Province under the same number of people. β
Bi Gou's eyes lit up, as if he couldn't wait.
"Shoot guns with cold weapons? Why? Didn't the guns be made by the Zhang and Wang families first? They're more familiar, so why not? "The housekeeper doesn't know why.
"Because Juan Juan and Xiaobao have said that weapons are not all, teach my generals in the Tang Dynasty a lesson, let them not be too proud, it is better to lose on the sand table than to lose in a real war one day."
Bi Gou sighed again, as for why Juan Juan and Xiaobao were able to win last time, he didn't mention it.
In fact, it is very simple, that is, Juan Juan and Xiaobao, when they are usually fine, they will take the commander at home to carry out sand table deduction, it is estimated that all places in the entire Tang Dynasty have been deduced with sand tables, and when they encounter a certain situation, how to deal with each other, their personalities are also clear.
Therefore, there is not much contact at all, and the terrain and each other's combat styles have long been familiar.
"Master, I know the first point, it's for military training, but what about the second?" The housekeeper also longs to see it with his own eyes in autumn.
Bi Gou stood up, moved his legs and feet, and continued to set off in the direction of the county seat, saying to the housekeeper as he walked: "Second, I guess it's to deter people from other places who still want to make up their minds, ** you need to pay something for this, and Zhang Xiaobao will let go." β
"It turns out that there are still these two calculations, the master is really powerful." The butler duly complimented him.
How do you know that Bi Gou didn't appreciate it at all, and frowned: "I can only think of two points, but Xiaobao will definitely not have only two purposes, he will never live more and more stupidly, and when you see him, you will follow me, then you will know how powerful his calculations are." β
The news of Bi Gou's arrival, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not know yet.
The two of them are busy, Zhang Xiaobao mobilized materials from all over the world, and Wang Juan was just as Bi Gou guessed, when he was directing the work of the Iron Cavalry Battalion, he also tried his best to let the people of the Iron Cavalry Battalion adapt to the food and climate of the Tang Dynasty.
As for the statistics of the damage and the verification of the money for compensation, it is sufficient for the people in the inner court to be arranged.
Busy until the evening, the two of them have no appetite for a big meal, even if they have the conditions to eat a big meal, they don't dare, and the people can only eat half of the usual food every day.
Zhang Xiaobao turned out the leftovers at noon, fried them with salty toon sprouts, boiled two bowls of egg drop soup, ate a fragrant meal with Wang Juan on spicy cabbage, and took a hot bath in a large wooden barrel.
"From here, lay railroad tracks, all the way to Jiangbei, so that Hongnong can not only connect to the Yellow River, but also become a hub in land transportation, I used to want to lay railroad tracks here, the cost is too big, now it is affected by the disaster, and the reconstruction is just completed."
Zhang Xiaobao pointed to a place on the map and said to Wang Juan.
Wang Juan measured the map with his palm: "Why not next to Luoyang, Luoyang can be used as the center." β
"Luoyang is already the center, material allocation, only one distribution center is not good, it will make the local businessmen form a monopoly, which is not conducive to the development of the entire Tang Dynasty, especially the railway will be laid to Luoyang first, for a period of time, Luoyang's economic status and even political status can be higher than Chang'an, which is not in line with Li Longji's interests.
Transportation has always been a problem, the most important thing is that there is more coal here in Henan, worse than Shanxi, only strong and not weak, the train needs coal, local materials, when the time comes to build a wharf on the other side of the Yellow River, the east and west are transported from the railway to Hongnong, and immediately changed to a waterway, which can be transported directly to the opposite side of the Yellow River.
It is not worth it to build a bridge through the train, the cost is high, and the efficiency can not be improved much, the train track in the north of the Yellow River can be passed all the way to the northeast, and the money comes from the three provinces in the northeast, that is, the north of Hebei Province, and there are many plains in Hebei, and it is best to lay that section of rails.
There is also coal in the Northeast, the most important thing is agricultural products and seafood from Dalian, if you only use river transportation is too delayed, how can things be prospered if you can't sell them, and the Northeast will become a concentration of heavy industry in the future, where the population is small, and there is nothing more pollution. β
As soon as Zhang Xiaobao spoke, he had already picked up a pen and drew a line on the map, which was the one that passed through Hebei from the northeast, and the one he wanted to build a railway.
Wang Juan frowned slightly, looked at the line on the map, couldn't be happy, it looked like a simple line, nothing more than taking money, even if the court didn't spend money, it was enough with his own family's financial resources, of course, the money could not come out of his own family.
The problem is not about money, but about smelting technology, most of which are now used to make guns, and some are sent to shipyards, and the steel used for rails cannot be used, so where to mobilize them.
Another point is that the line can be drawn straight, but the railroad track cannot be paved like that, and there are mountains in some places, and caves need to be dug in some places, and bridges need to be built in some places, and a lot of stones are needed, so blowing up stones and so on will kill people.
"Xiaobao, no matter how advanced the technology is, it can't prevent the dead people when the railway is repaired, not to mention that the technology is not as good as ours then, it is far worse, how many lives do you plan to use to fill it?"
Wang Juan didn't want the Tang Dynasty to lose a lot of troops at a time when it needed a population and there was no war.
Zhang Xiaobao held the pen, suddenly smiled, and said to Wang Juan: "Of course I know that I want to die, and I am reluctant to die our people in the Tang Dynasty, and I can't be a world pacifist in my life. β
"Where's Daoyou?" Wang Juan couldn't think of any place to come out.
"In **, ** people have an advantage, they are willing to work hard, hard work, when they were defeated and surrendered, ** women can also pick up heavy burdens, just like the women of North Korea, they are all good people."
Zhang Xiaobao stretched out his hand and pointed to the east, even if it was **.
"Then how are you going to get the ** people over? Am I distressed to die of them, but they are not stupid, can a fool make a future? Wang Juan was even more puzzled.
"Xiaobao, juanjuan, I'm here for the old man, Xiaobao, come out to meet the old man." Before Zhang Xiaobao could explain how to let the ** person come over, an old man's shouting came from outside.
Hearing the movement, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan glanced at each other, and said at the same time: "Why is he here?" β
The two didn't dare to delay, got up and went to the door to see Bi Gou, and found that Bi Gou was still so tough, and a sense of pride rose in the hearts of the two of them, and they changed Bi Gou's life time.
"I've grown taller again." Bi Gou also looked at Zhang Xiaobao and the others, the smile on his face did not stop, he looked left and right, he couldn't get enough.
Zhang Xiaobao also laughed, walked over with Wang Juan, and helped Bi Gou to the house from left to right.
"Grandpa Bi, why are you here? When you come out once, you should stay in the capital, why bother to run to the disaster place to suffer. Zhang Xiaobao helped Bi Gou into the house and arranged to sit down, Wang Juan brought snacks and tea, put them on the small table and asked Bi Gou.
Bi Gou was in a hurry, and he hadn't eaten yet, so he picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, and then blew tea and sent it down, a piece of pastry choked, much more comfortable, Fang said to Wang Juan: "I'm tired of staying in Sanshui County, and I'm tired of fishing between the water and clouds. β
"Don't be modest, how can your body be said to be improvised, young, young again, you will be seventy years old in another year, Grandpa Bi, you want to fish and wait, the dam has just been blocked, the water is still muddy, and the fish will not come."
Zhang Xiaobao followed alongside and picked up an orange to peel.
Bi Gou was not polite, opened his mouth to ask for a clove of oranges, swallowed it with a smile, and asked: "Xiaobao, coming here in person will not be a simple post-disaster reconstruction, right?" β
"That's it." Zhang Xiaobao doesn't admit that he has other ideas.
"Why do I estimate that Juan Juan still has to train the soldiers of Fandi, and you also want to get some money from **? Could it be that the old man, I think it's bad? Bi asked with a look of victory.
The housekeeper who had been accompanying him arranged for the protection of the person who had also entered the house to listen, wanting to see if Zhang Xiaobao was really as magical as the old man said.
Zhang Xiaobao smiled and said to Wang Juan: "Look, I'll just say, we can't hide it from Grandpa Bi, with Grandpa Bi's ability, you can't hide it if you want to, you still don't believe it." β
"Don't push it on me, I'm hiding something, but our Grandpa Bi is really powerful, as soon as he came, he thought of our thoughts, and I estimate that Grandpa Bi will not be seventy next year, but sixty-five."
Wang Juan followed the words, refilled Bi Gou's teacup, and asked with a smile: "Can Grandpa Bi bring fishing gear?" β
"I didn't bring it, when you two masters prepared it for me, and I didn't find anything else, I found that you are becoming more and more able to fool people, you won't just think of the two points I can think of, Xiaobao, tell grandpa, what else do you have to do, don't hide your secrets."
Bi Gou put out the sub-division of the field, beat the local tyrants, and began to question Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao sent a petal of orange to Bi Gou's mouth again, and his face was sincere: "It's really gone, a little careful thinking still makes Grandpa Bi see through it, and Grandpa Bi is better than in the past." β
"Flicker, flicker, I'll just say, why are you tired of staying in Sanshui County, there are fewer people who fool me, and I'm not used to it for a while."
Bi Gou was unmoved, he didn't see the sincerity on Zhang Xiaobao's face.
"Well, in fact, there is another aspect, I'm not here, I can't come in vain, the reconstruction can just pave the railroad tracks, all the way to the north bank of the Yangtze River, a large number of materials are transported to Hongnong by rail, others see, ah, it turns out that the railway is so convenient, and it will be convenient when the rails are laid, and there will be more people who support it."
Zhang Xiaobao said one aspect, Bi Gou nodded when he listened, looked at his housekeeper with a sideways face, met the housekeeper with a really powerful look of the old man, and asked again: "What else?" β
"And? What's more, Grandpa Bi, I really can't think of it, I'm here for disaster relief, not to make a fortune, it's gone. Zhang Xiaobao refused to admit it.
Bi Gou was like a child, turned his face and didn't look at Zhang Xiaobao, which meant that he didn't believe it.
Wang Juan couldn't help laughing: "Grandpa Bi, I see you are staring at the dim sum and eating, haven't you eaten yet?" Let Xiaobao stir-fry two dishes for you, and you can drink a little hot wine to warm up your body. β
"No, I'm in good health, I'll be sixty next year, the dim sum is good, soft and delicious, and I can't swallow it, if you don't tell me the truth, I won't be blind."
Bi Gou's stubbornness came up, and then he turned his head back and stared at Zhang Xiaobao, which didn't mean anything.
Zhang Xiaobao spread his hands helplessly: "Grandpa Bi, I really convince you, I am obviously taking ducks on the shelves, okay, as soon as you ask, I will temporarily come up with a way to tell you." β
"Not one." Bi Gou shook his head: "Who doesn't know that Zhang Xiaobao uses a series of calculations and comparisons, and he can think of three or two related things, which is not bad, if you Zhang Xiaobao didn't come up with a string of pit ideas, he would go to Hongnong in person?" Autumn is delayed for a month, the cost is all borne by your family, one day you really made a loss-making transaction, it is estimated that at that time, my Datang has even lost the national capital. β
"Then you have to say it one by one." Zhang Xiaobao is still so sincere.
"Say." Bi Gou really made me say it right.
Zhang Xiaobao pondered for a moment and said: "In addition to what I just said..., there is also to put pressure on ** people to admit their mistakes, so that I can raise the tariffs on ** export goods, and at the same time promise that I am willing to sell them more goods with technology."
So that they can buy it back to study, but they can only use my Datang money, and the price is very high, they want to get more money, there are two ways, one is to let my Datang businessmen go to ** as soon as possible to open a tourist attraction, my Datang people have passed, and the money spent is naturally Datang's money.
Second, sell more basic resources, such as silver, copper, high-end seafood, and sulfur, otherwise they won't have the money to buy our goods and go back to the technology.
In this way, the plundering of resources by my Datang will be smoother, more convenient, and faster, and now that Silla can't afford to make waves, I will clean up ** as soon as possible, so that I can continue to expand externally and plunder back more resources.
Otherwise, when people in other places become smarter and more powerful, and then want to plunder, it will cause too many casualties in Datang, and there are many other places where we dig out the oil, even in the past many years, it is still very useful, and will become a national strategic item. β
Before Bi Gou, who was listening to the side, could not speak, his butler couldn't help but speak up: "I don't agree with you selling technical goods, what if you let them figure it out?" β
After speaking, he saw the three people looking at him in surprise, and immediately lowered his head again, he knew that he had done something wrong, and he was not qualified to speak.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't pursue it, but people were also kind, smiled, and explained: "Technology has to be sold, our Datang technology is developed sequentially, and many good technologies for ** people are actually outdated."
Outdated technology will waste a lot of materials, not cost-effective, and some technologies have too much impact on the environment and human body, we need the action produced by that technology to do the processed products of another technology, and we don't want to cause too much harm to my Datang, so we have to let the best people do rough processing.
I will provide **part of the technology that requires a lot of raw materials,** without raw materials, I Datang has nothing, and even if there is, it is impossible to sell it to **, they have to get it themselves.
I rented them a boat, and tried to make them learn to make the oldest generation of steam engines, that is, let them go overseas to find resources, and when they arrive in a new place, they will have conflicts with the local natives, even if the weapons are advanced, they will die, ** people can go to the front station, understand? β
"I see, you go on." Bi Gou took the words...
