Time, entering the end of September in the first year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, maybe there will be ten days and half a month, and it will be the time when the annual [Jubaodong Mansion] comes out. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After Hao Meng drove the boat into Bohai Bay, it took a day to find the mouth of Jishui.

Along the Jishui upstream, it is only half a day's waterway to reach the city of Jinan.

If it weren't for the three dragon eggs on the boat, Hao Meng would have stopped the boat and docked when he was close to Qingzhou. Anyone who has been floating in the sea for more than forty days should have gotten tired of it.

On that day, after Hao Meng squandered the [Good Guy Card] on his body, he was "sent" out of the island by the Penglai Immortals.

Fortunately, when he walked out of Penglai Immortal Island, Hao Meng finally figured out from Xu Fu's mouth how to effectively control the "troops" under his command.

After that, Hao Meng spent another three days cleaning up the waters near Kinmen Island.

After all, the few people who brought the specific news of Penglai Immortal Island, fisherman A and fisherman B were good to send away, and only one hundred and eighty coins of money was enough; But Zhang San and the others needed three sets of equipment of more than ten levels, and they had to take them to the fifteenth level.

This is what Hao Meng promised when he was on Ryukyu Island, and Hao Meng couldn't break his promise and get fat.

The reason why it took three days was because the newly-born native monsters in the ocean were all weak, and the experience points and equipment contributed were not worth mentioning.

And those monsters above the level of ten, when you don't look for it, they are all over the sea; When you try to find them, it's hard to find them for a while.

Finally sent away a few guys who provided the news, and Hao Mengcai drove along the coastline and drove the boat in the direction of Qingzhou.

This time boating in the East China Sea, Hao Meng's three goals have almost been completed.

Although the four islands of Yingzhou seem to be back in a state of wilderness, and the bandit cottages on Diaoyu Island have just taken root, the harvest on Penglai Immortal Island makes Hao Meng's trip worthwhile.

What's more, after experiencing life and death and witnessing the magnificence of the East China Sea, the relationship between Hao Meng and Sister Cai is also increasing day by day.

……

When the ship arrived at the city of Jinan, three huge dragon eggs aroused the amazement of the soldiers and civilians in the city.

Dragon eggs, each weighing nearly ten tons, with the inhuman perverted strength of Dian Wei, it takes four people to go out together to lift a dragon egg.

However, there are not too many super-first-class generals under Hao Meng's command, and the three dragon eggs are carried into the city in a row.

"Hao Qingzhou has been out for more than a month, so he brought back such three boulders like eggs?" Standing far away, there were the bad-eyed residents, muttering to each other that the three dragon eggs were "boulders that looked like eggs".

As the lord of Qingzhou, Hao Meng's return is naturally full of welcome.

After more than a month of development, the newly emerged Jinan City, in addition to the four garrisons and several battalions of patrol battalions, there are also many residents in the city.

There were outsiders, merchants, and people who moved from Langya County, but there were no captives.

Jinan City, as the new capital, is at the forefront of the border with Yanzhou, so it is naturally impossible to strand a large number of captives in Jinan. Anyway, the entire Qingzhou is being reclaimed on a large scale, and the prisoners needed in other places are in a very big gap.

Therefore, the current Jinan City is a little more prosperous than the capital of Langya County.

Of course, behind this prosperity, all kinds of hidden clouds and waves are treacherous, and they also rise and fall.

……

"What is this Hao Meng doing?"

"After disappearing for more than forty days, you brought back three giant eggs?"

"By the way, what kind of bird's egg is this, and why is it so huge?"

In the crowd, there were spies from all sides, exchanging "you understand, I understand" glances with each other. However, it feels a little inexplicable for such a giant egg.

It is precisely because of the inexplicability that these spies feel even more that these three giant eggs definitely have great "value".

With Hao Meng's current status and Hao Meng's current strength, what he values, even if it is a piece of dog feces, others will probably think that the piece of dog feces does not belong to the Roaring Sky Dog.

What's more, these three giant eggs are really a bit shocking.

So, after Hao Meng returned to the City Lord's Mansion, flocks of white pigeons flew up in Jinan City, and then flew in all directions.

In other words, in this era of heroes, there are naturally a lot of smart people, and the technology of raising pigeons does not know when it arose.

……

In Jinan City, there was originally only one city lord's mansion in the city, but now all kinds of residential shops have popped up.

After entering the City Lord's Mansion, Cai Wenji took the little princess back to the apse to rest, but Hao Meng couldn't rest.

In the evening, Mi Zhu began to report to Hao Meng on the dynamics of this time.

As the leader of the internal affairs of Hao Meng's group, during the time when Hao Meng was out, he was naturally in charge of the military, government and civil affairs. With Hao Meng's current strength, he is not worried about Mi Zhu seeking a seat in the court, or the tail is too big to drop or anything.

"So, we have a big shortage of food and grass?" After listening to Mi Zhu's report, Hao Meng's first concern was his own grain and grass problem.

In other words, no matter what kind of princes or political system it is, as long as the military and people under his rule are not starved, they will naturally slowly gain the support of the military and the people.

When the time comes, the army and the people will be united, even if they can't sweep the world, it will be enough to be trapped in a corner.

Hao Meng has spared no effort to hoard grain and grass since he was in charge of Langya County, but to this day, there is still a huge gap in grain and grass.

Hao Meng can understand this.

Hao Meng's current sources of grain and grass have three parts.

One is to buy grain, but at present, most of the princes around are also buying grain at high prices, plus they seem to be working together to block the channel for grain and grass to flow into Qingzhou and Langya County, and after the autumn harvest, Mi Zhu only bought nearly 200,000 stone of grain and grass.

That's it, or Mi Zhu doesn't know how much relationship he has entrusted and how much money he has spent!

Another source is the contribution of the Mi family, and perhaps the large and small families in Xuzhou secretly lose their sincerity. But this part of the grain and grass is not very much, and the total is only 500,000 stones.

The focus is still on the taxation under the rule, and in this era, agricultural taxes account for the majority.

However, at present, Hao Meng's tax sources are only the three counties of Langya County, Kaiyang County, Yangdu County and Linyi County.

After the summer harvest, Hao Meng originally had nearly one million stone grains and grasses in stock, but after sweeping Qingzhou, these grains and grasses were basically consumed.

After the autumn harvest, the grains were returned to the warehouse, and with only the taxes of the three counties, Mi Zhu only collected less than 100,000 stone of grain and grass. Coupled with the part of the high-priced forced purchase, it is less than 200,000 stones.

At present, the grain and grass in the various warehouses under Hao Meng's rule add up to less than one million stones.

Most of Langya County, as well as the entire Qingzhou, are currently in the initial stage of reclamation, and it is impossible to generate taxes only if they increase their investment.

If you want to harvest, you have to harvest at least after next summer.

In this way, it is impossible for the millions of stone grains and grass in Hao Meng's hands to last until winter, let alone last until next summer's harvest.

Of course, if it is only used as a supply of military rations, the support of millions of stone grains and grass is not much worse for a year. But those reclamation regiments all over Qingzhou, don't they need to consume grain and grass?
