Chapter 98 The Household Officer

Jiangning is located north of the Shenlong River, but it is also located south of the Qinhuai River, so the climate here has both the cold and steep winter in the north and the warmth of spring in the south all year round. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

At the end of the west of the Qinhuai River, there is a grand canal that runs through the north and south, this grand canal is like a big water snake running between the southeast plains, the waves are turbulent, the bank is stirring like snow-like waves, although there is no name of the river and the sea, but it really has the prestige of the river and the sea.

There is no river like this Grand Canal, which continuously transports abundant wealth and products to the Wanggi region.

5,000 catties of grain and grass were purchased, and according to the method of the household department, they were sent to the Central Plains granary located on the south bank of the Tianhe River within a month, and Jiangning's water transportation task was completed.

The secretary of the household department came to the Caoyun Division of Jiangning County, looking at the red official office, and the rice that was piled up in the granary and being bagged, as if he didn't believe his eyes, he clearly remembered that on the transportation roster of the Jiangnan rice warehouse, Jiangning County was ranked last every time, and the transportation volume was still very dazzling 'zero', Yangzhou was always the first, followed by Wu County, where Fang Tianhua was located.

From the bottom of the old to the boss who dominates the six southeastern counties, the household secretary is of course surprised!

"How did Feng Chuan develop agriculture, could it be that by appointing first-class people, can the Cao Yun of a county develop?"

The household officer looked very surprised, and the roster trembled in his hand, as if it were very unbelievable.

Since this is Caoyun's supervisor in the household department, it has nothing to do with Feng Chuan, and Feng Chuan did not come to mix.

But at this time, Sun Qi was worried about how to explain one thing.

How to explain all these drastic changes to this person from the household, by the way, the ancients believed that the gods descended to earth and the ancestors appeared, so it was easy to be fooled.

Sun Qi spread his hands, like a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who was speaking: "Jiangning is located at the junction of water and drought, and there has not been a big harvest in ten years.

Of course, this kind of theism greatly satisfied the awe of the person in charge of Caoyun, so he didn't care too much about it, but just ordered Sun Qi to be escorted to the throne within a month.

"What are you doing in the backyard of the government office, can you let me go in and have a look?"

The officer was referring to the backyard pool where Sun Qi was building a transport ship.

The large transport ships are being built in an orderly manner under the supervision of the land machine, and if the people of the household department look at it, they must not be frightened out of illness, and these transport ships under construction are several times larger than the special transport ships of the household department.

That's not on a notch at all.

The water conservancy industry of the Han Dynasty was in the most primitive stage, and it was completely incomparable with the ships of the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties.

"That's Xiaguan building new transportation equipment, and it hasn't been opened yet, so I can't see people!"

can see Sun Qi's prevarication, but this person from the household department doesn't care at all, joke, a small person in a place, no matter how to build new transportation equipment, can he compete with the imperial court?

Therefore, this visitor from the household department lost an opportunity to broaden his horizons, and Sun Qi did not plan to cause too much turmoil.

Sending away the envoy of the household department, Sun Qi signed his name on the roster, and agreed to transport 5,000 catties of grain to the Central Plains rice warehouse within a month, and the envoy from the household department left in a hurry, he really couldn't stand the red eyes in this official office, and the huge five-star red flag was like a sharp sword, inserted into the heart of a person in power like him.

At the time of parting, the envoy of the household department held a box in his hand, on which were engraved the three big characters of 'Tianshen Shuo'.

The days were spent in supervising the construction of new transport ships, during which the watch brand of Tianshen Shuo opened up a new field for foreign businessmen, and many foreign businessmen rushed to purchase Tianshen Shuo, which was regarded as a divine product and a holy product.

At the same time, glass, cement, these relatively large application of building basic raw materials, is to win the favor of those foreign businessmen, in Jiangning County, soon set off a procurement frenzy, buyers are basically foreign businessmen.

The neighbors Dongying and Goryeo, the northern Murowei and the western Dashi, and the wealthy merchants of Sumatra in the south gathered in the Jiangning area one after another, transporting the swarthy cement to their own country, which would solidify when dried and dilute when added with water.

This kind of building material, strong and durable, with the green bricks, is simply a miraculous building material, so it is pursued by foreign businessmen like crazy, so that the price is speculated as high as a tired egg, in terms of price, Sun Qi is of course looking at the price.

The hero of Gu Long's novel said without tears that some people come to buy my cakes, and I only sell them for a few taels of silver, but if some people come to buy them, I may not sell them to them for five hundred taels of silver.

Under Sun Qi's regulations, in the face of foreign merchants in Dongying and Goryeo, the asking price of cement and glass was five times the original price, which made those merchants very puzzled.

There was a Dongying businessman who spoke in the words of a shareholder and shouted at the translator next to Sun Qi.

It was clear that there was a protest, and several other out-of-town businessmen came to protest, but the conversation could only be conveyed by means of an interpreter.

"What's this thing beeping?"

Sun Qi pointed to the interpreter at the protesting Dongying businessman, his face displeased. He only heard about the eight ga, and he knew it in his previous life and went to take Japanese as an elective.

"He said he was going to the imperial court to report us, saying that we had raised the price for no reason, my lord, look..."

The translator's face was ugly, he didn't translate the baga baga, but Sun Qi knew what it meant, but Sun Qi was low-key, and Sun Qi didn't say it.

Sun Qi looked at the Dongying businessman who was protesting, the Dongying businessman seemed to know that his protest was completely farting, and in the face of Sun Qi's wolf-like eyes, the businessman flinched a little for a while.

"Since you are not satisfied with the price increase by five times, then raise the price by ten times!"

Throwing down these words, Sun Qi turned around and left, leaving behind the embarrassed translator and the Dongying merchant who was confused by the second monk.

Of course, the voices of these businessmen are not unknown to anyone, and the news of Sun Qi's sky-high asking price soon spread to Feng Chuan.

"Brother Qi, why are you making things so difficult for Dongying people?"

Feng Chuan asked puzzled.

"Because they owe us too much, Xiaosheng can't wait to raise the price by twenty times for them!"

Feng Chuan was surprised, what kind of grudge is there between this Sun Gongzi and Dongying? It can be so sky-high to ask for such a price.

Sun Qi will not say that all this is just done for the motherland in his heart, and what is still that hot and sincere patriotic heart.
