Chapter 158: Something Happens in the Land of the New Appointment

It took 12 days to arrive in Kaifeng, but fortunately, the crying waterway was more hearty, for example, Yuan upstream had a "several." word, otherwise according to the practice of the fleet, it will cost more money. And let the local flood be diverted.

As soon as the fleet passed, the waterway of the Yellow River was immediately opened to navigation, especially the fishermen, some of whom had boats, and were very grateful to the Zhang family's fleet for opening the way, and they could go to the river to cast nets to fish.

A small number of people were so angry that they could have carved holes in the ice to catch fish. Well, now I can't catch it.

The ferrymen who came and went had work to do again, and the people who could walk on the ice complained a little, they couldn't see too much m., they only knew that they had to spend money again. But it is not clear that fewer people have fallen into the ice hole this year.

Even if the Zhang family's fleet does not break the ice in advance, it will not take a few days to open the river. Walking on ice is very dangerous.

The Zhang family directly paid the price of more than 30,000 yuan for this trip, salt, that costs money. There was also iron for chartering ships, and there was also a steamer that was unlucky enough to encounter a big hole in the ice that Luo was put together, and the wheels were also broken, so they had to be left there to be repaired.

"They should be grateful to us for standing at the bow of the boat with Li Xuan's nose red from the cold wind. The voice muttered.

%, ten thousand

Now he doesn't understand anything like he did at the beginning, and his way of judging things is getting closer and closer to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

Spending a lot of money to break the ice, it is a little benefit left by the Zhang family to the capital, and the downstream can lead the water to soak the ground in advance, since the two Zhuangzi of Zhang Wang in Sanshui County appeared the method of lime manure soaking the ground. Most of the people followed suit.

This method of dung is fast, and the fertility of the manure is sufficient, mainly because it can put a lot of straw stalks and leaves into it together, and it has been used for several years, plus the seeds cultivated by Sinong Temple according to the method provided by the Zhang family and their own research institute have also been planted near the capital for two years.

The yield is high. Last year, the grain transported from the south in the capital was much less, and the two families of Zhang and Wang did not fight for this credit, and they gave it to whomever they wanted, and those who wanted to come to the court understood it in their hearts.

In addition to soaking in advance, it can also make the upstream ice melt faster, the faster the water flow, the faster the ice melts, which can avoid the formation of ice dams in zigzag places, and minimize the possibility of spring floods.

This method is very good, and if it can also be used with punching and burying gunpowder, it can be worry-free every year.

People of insight in the court also have this problem, but the investment is too great, 30,000 yuan, which is still the cost of the Zhang family's own business.

There may be a spring flood once in five years. It may be on a large scale, or it may be on a large scale. Then it is worth investing tens of thousands of dollars to dredge in advance, if it is small-scale, or there is no danger at all, no one can stand spending so much money every year, and no one dares to bring it up in exchange for unknown dangers in exchange for money.

The people in the imperial court knew the benefits, but they couldn't mention it, but Li Xuan was different, he had his own ideas, he was ready to discuss with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to buy gunpowder, and learn the technique of fixed-point blasting. This one. Technology has always been mastered by Wang Juan, and others simply don't.

Li Xun thought that the Zhang family had mastered the method, and he wanted to come up with 50,000 yuan of money every year. Taking advantage of the period before the opening of the river to break the ice, he thought it was worth it, although 50,000 yuan could buy 25 million catties of good grain in a normal year.

He has money, and all kinds of business in partnership with the Zhang family can provide him with an income of more than 200,000 yuan a year, which is not counting the money that has been invested in opening a new industry. Wait for those places to make money. He earns more.

He wasn't ready to rebel, he really didn't know what to do with so much money, he used to make money for a few rìzi, and at the same time show off with the royal people of the same generation.

Now his rì is better. The most comfortable furniture, his own fleet, it will be very expensive for others to buy, he is the cost, it is a sin not to spend more money, and others will be red-eyed.

Li Zhen now understands the theories of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. That is, consumption can improve the national strength of the entire Tang Dynasty, and only when there is demand can there be output, many people are too single-minded, and they don't think about how to make more money at all, and the landed people guard that little land.

Only one crop of grain is planted a year, busy in the spring, and followed in the summer. When the harvest comes in autumn, I shrink at home in winter and don't go out. How can this be, Li Yan has seen the construction of the people in 6 states, and he can always find a job, and he is not tired, so he spreads out the rest time. The annual income is hundreds of times that of ordinary people around the capital.

Part of it is because of the geography. More often than not, people can't think of more ways to raise their incomes. Then you have to guide.

Li Xun wants to do such a thing now, and he has learned a lot of ideas, which were not taught by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, but by himself according to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's style of acting.

There are also all kinds of animals in the capital, not for food, only for ornamentation, then the people can do the same, raise some rabbits, raise some deer, why do you have to go to the mountains to hunt?

Li Xun pondered. First invest 50,000 guan every year to dredge the river that is about to be opened, and then take out 50,000 guan of money to encourage the people in the capital and the north to raise animals, especially in the vast and sparsely populated places, and grow some food that people don't like to eat, and then it will be animals.

A large piece made of rabbit skin can also be sold for seven or eight hundred yuan.

"Backward, the thinking is too backward." Li Yan moved a chair and sat at the bow of the boat, looked at a few babies on the dock, and muttered while gesturing for people to bring them over.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan felt that Li Zhen seemed to be in a demon, thanks to taking him to do business together. Otherwise, according to his thoughts, there is no need to live at all, there is something in the court, he will take money outside, and he will take it himself, and he will have to pull the Zhang and Wang families every time.

Even the other businessmen who cooperated with it couldn't run, just say that the canal should be repaired, it is estimated that it will be repaired in the autumn of this year, and the imperial court originally ensured the money of 2 or 250,000 yuan, and built a simple canal to connect the hanging, which resulted in only Li Xun and his own family taking out 210,000 yuan. The other merchants combined, it was 400,000 yuan, and Li Longji immediately stopped taking the money, and changed the drawings of the canal, which was farther and wider than the original one.

Fortunately, the person in charge of repairing the canal was an official of a family. It belongs to the Ministry of Industry and is pressed by Liu Zhirou. I won't and don't dare to be greedy for this. money, otherwise, his side would rather spend manpower and send people from the inner courtyard to repair it.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are not afraid of spending money, and there will be more income in the future, so they are worried that the money they took out will not be done in the end, but will be corrupted, and the two of them hate the most is embezzlement of project funds.

If you really have the ability, put one. The lower county is operated into an upper county, and it is reasonable for the people of the county to embezzle one-tenth of the tax, and the people don't care how much you embezzle, as long as you can eat more and live in a better house, you are a good official.

When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were thinking about things, Li Zhen saw that the two were silent. said: "Xiaobao, you have something to say. How can the people not be foolish? ”

"Isn't that easy? Let them all be literate and read all kinds of books, so that they can understand how vast the sky outside is, understand what the sea is like, and they will naturally turn around.

Wang Juan gave the answer directly.

"It's that simple? Then you have to help me. I am ready to provide such a place for people to study within three years, and Li Xun is full of confidence.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan shook their heads vigorously: "Three years? Thirty years is good enough to make all the people literate, but in three years we can't come up with tens of millions of dollars to help you achieve your wishes.

"Why do you need so much?" Li Xun's idea is simple. It is to let people go to poor places to build schools. It doesn't take much money to build a village, and the people will be able to learn from local materials.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't need Li Martyrdom to know what he wanted, Zhang Xiaobao felt that he had to continue to teach Li Martyrdom. He was thinking too simply.

"Don't think it's enough to build a school. If you want the people to make time to study, you have to let the family have enough to eat, and you have to improve productivity, which is not difficult, within three years. We will definitely be able to find crops with higher yields for the people to grow.

Then it is to build roads, communicate with each other, encourage people to raise more poultry and livestock, and even need to lend them money in the early stage, followed by the printing of books, this is not difficult, and then improve the papermaking Cai's method is good, you can build the factory overseas, use the trees there to manufacture, we also try not to burn when the Tang Dynasty opens up the wasteland, and leave the trees and grass to make paper.

We're willing to put that money into it. It is to open papermaking in various places, and we also have new methods for printing, which is simple, and the most difficult part comes from the literati, when printing books, it can't be like now, you look at the ice. According to the words of the literati, that is, the ice is cold, and the water is cold and the water is cold.

How long do the people have to learn, and they just say that when the water is cold, it will freeze, but this is absolutely not good, and the literati finally have something to show off. Can they let you express simple things in simple words?

Isn't there still anyone looking for fault with my earthworm to feed the chickens? What do you say about the earth dragon, born with the earth. Survive from the soil, chicken food and earth dragon is natural selection, and people can go against the sky? Dead.

This is pure fart, why am I raising some earthworms against the sky? But it is this knowledge that the people want to learn, and you teach them "Qi and Qi are depressed, there are many fish, there are fins and sales, and whales and crocodiles look at carp." To enjoy the sacrifice. In order to introduce King Fook. Was this helpful?

People want to know how to grow more food by farming, how to raise chickens to grow faster, and what things can't be eaten together, this is called class, and they can do anything in order to protect their own mysteries and interests

As soon as Zhang Xiaobao mentioned this, he felt aggrieved when the matter came, and if he wanted to teach others more knowledge, he had to consider the current environment. A lot of knowledge can only be taught to the banker, and outsiders are not told.

Li Xun also remembered this, the matter, he smiled, and said: "Didn't the official who impeached your family at the beginning be exiled, what do you want him to do, he is also lacking in heart, when is the impeachment not good, if it is not impeached during the locust plague in Henan Province, your chickens are eating locusts there."

Since the resistance is too great, let's slow down, at least under my rule and your father's rule, no one can manage it, do you know why your father was arranged to Shuzhou? It's not just that your family exchanged two good things, but the most important thing is that the assassin who took office is too unusual.

In the past few years, Shuzhou has paid 110,000 yuan in taxes every year, which does not fluctuate much, but it has become less and less in recent years, before the end of last year. The report is 60,000, and that's Shangzhou. It's not as much money as your family's Sanshui County for a year,

The tax in one Sanshui county is more than the money in two Shuzhou. Who do you say if you don't clean him up? The imperial court now has nothing to do with Sanshui County to compare with other places, in the past, after other state capitals paid taxes, they could always be praised two sentences, since there was Sanshui County's taxes, even if Chuzhou sent 180,000 yuan in taxes last year, Uncle Huang also threw a sentence "I know."

I sent your father here this time, hoping to reproduce the original situation, the most important thing is to fight with the local family and the officials and rich businessmen who have been bribed, where there is not a lack of money, but whether it can be collected. ”

"I see, okay, I like it." Zhang Xiaobao nodded, indicating that he understood.

Wang Juan also seemed very excited, she wanted to see Zhang Xiaobao's methods in the mall. At the beginning, when the two families of Zhang and Wang were in the most difficult time, it was Zhang Xiaobao who turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands for rain, so that the businessmen who came to find trouble collapsed and sank into the sand.

I haven't seen it for a long time, and I miss it more, the more powerful the businessmen in Shuzhou, the better, and many movies that show ancient times are not too much. The past of being an official was embarrassed first, and then he found evidence and cleaned up people in one fell swoop

ten thousand

That's really a bit of a fall, so why bother looking for any handle to clean up people? How good is it to directly use business warfare to attack?

Zhang Xiaobao didn't know that Wang Juan was thinking about this, he said that it was because the form was complicated and it was easy to exercise his father, but it was not 6 states, so it was difficult.

As for whether it will fail because it can't fight others, what happens after the defeat, there is no need to think about it, there is no such result.

Li Xun is not worried. He doesn't believe that anyone else can fight the Zhang family, other officials are afraid, afraid that the local family and businessmen will have contact with someone or several people in the imperial court, and when the time comes, they will make trouble behind their backs, afraid that they will be involved with someone, Hou Ye, a county king like him and a prince, the Zhang family does not need to be afraid.

When it comes to the royal family. It is enough to come forward on your own. Everyone is the same identity. No one wants to press anyone, not to mention that they still have money, didn't Xiaobao and Juan Juan say that money can make grinding ghosts, and the most important thing is that he can write to Uncle Huang at any time about what happens.

It's not an excerpt, it's the same as a family letter, this is a treatment that only you can enjoy, who let him other people not follow the Zhang Wang family, Uncle Huang wants to understand the situation of the Zhang family, then you have to let yourself write a letter, the family letter is much more useful than writing any excerpt, no matter what can be written on it, the royal people who dare to mess with the emperor Uncle will clean up whom.

There is no need to worry about the pressure from the court officials. It is estimated that the news has now reached Shuzhou. It means don't expect them to help talk in the court, just figure it out yourself.

Zhang Zhongshi is not something that anyone can fool, the imperial uncle and the prime minister are staring at it, impeachment is okay, and the excerpt is reasonable. There is no reason to punish crimes, and if you say it directly in the court, you will change the topic. I look forward to the Zhang family being able to create one miracle after another.

Li Xun can think of what kind of idea the imperial court played, a Sanshui County can be made into a Shangxian County, and pay so much tax every year, which one, wouldn't Shangzhou pay more taxes? Who dares to find trouble in it. That's no different from looking for death.

"Lord Wang, people have brought it.

。 The man who went down to pick up the beggar came back and brought the six little beggars to Li Xun and replied.

"Well, take it down, wash and change your clothes, go with the boat, ask them if they have any family, if they have, take the family with them, if the family is rich, then take the baby away, remember it later." As long as you see such a person, bring it back to the house, and you can help one by one

Li Xun casually glanced at the six babies. After the order, he didn't mention this matter, he now figured it out, as long as it was within his ability, he would help, if all the wealthy people in Datang could be like him, then would Datang still have to eat?

Asking for food does not mean that people can't do anything, in fact, there is no other opportunity, with the knowledge they have learned, it is still easy to find a job, and the baby will let them study, and it will be useful when they grow up.

The six babies who asked for food didn't know how noble Li Xun's identity was, they only knew that the person who gave them food and clothing was more powerful than the county order, and the county order was trembling when he saw it, let alone the village zheng. It's weird and scary.

"Xiaobao, how many days will the ship stop? Don't delay Chun Geng After the six babies who didn't even ask their names were taken down, Li Yan asked Zhang Xiaobao boredly.

"Originally, I was going to resupply and leave today, but since I got there, I would be in trouble. Then you can only stop for two more days, prepare and prepare, it's okay to delay for two days, there will be a lot of fertile land after you get there, what to plant. At the same time, the wasteland is also enclosed. ”

Zhang Xiaobao is also very leisurely, he and Wang Juan now have less work, and they only have to study, exercise and play with their younger brothers and sisters every day, and don't care about people's livelihood and other things. There's a lot more jīng power to put on calculations, which is a very interesting thing.

Li Xun nodded, he believed that Zhang Xiaobao would not be idle and trick him into playing. But he couldn't think of what to do with the wasteland, so without waiting for him to ask, Zhang Xiaobao explained to him:

"After the wasteland is packed, I will build a house on it, and I will do an experiment on most of the scorpion raising and a small part, if there is a mountain area, it is okay to raise more snakes, and the direction of the exhibition there will be changed in the future. Every place needs to have a special sè for each place.

This summer, there will be no shortage of food. A large amount of grain will be shipped back from overseas, Shuzhou does not have to produce much grain, I am going to make it a base for medicinal herbs, you are the first person to eat crabs, eat well and teach the local people, and try to grow other medicinal herbs. ”

"Can medicine be raised and planted? Where to sell? There is no shortage of medicine in the harem, and Li Yan is the first time he has heard of this thing. In the past, it was all about paying tribute to places with medicinal herbs, and replacing the rent with various things, if they could raise it. The snake catcher will be less dead, just find the snake catcher to raise snakes.

Zhang Xiaobaoling "can be planted and raised, but the efficacy may be a little worse, it doesn't matter, just increase the amount of use, sell it directly to the hospital, you need to summarize the various problems that arise when planting and breeding." Then let the local people plant and raise, and we will buy it in a unified manner, which is not the kind of deception of the Five Lakes Chamber of Commerce. ”

ten thousand

"Can hospitals still make money? What should I do if there are too many medicinal materials and the hospital can't sell them? Li Xun is worried that after the output is too large, the hospital will lose money, and the loss-making business cannot be done, otherwise the hospital will die if it is not enough.

"It's not enough at all, I'm going to open Deyi Hospital all over Datang, and I don't expect to make money. As long as the capital is maintained, those who have money talk more about money, and those who have no money spend less, all pregnant women, children and people who have reached a certain age. Free medical care is provided

Zhang Xiaobao has never forgotten about free medical care and free education, and the form of operation is different. But he can bear a little exhibition, and one day he can achieve it, the difficulty is relatively high, it is a road that no one else has ever walked, it is very challenging, even if he fails, he is not afraid.
