Chapter 101: Floods and Locust Plagues

Bianzhou is a Shangzhou with a population of more than 40,000 households, and it is actually very non-standard for users to calculate the population in the Tang Dynasty, a family of four can be counted as a household, and a family of dozens of people in the same house of the third or fourth generations is also counted as a household, and more is a family of the third or fourth generations who married a lot of wives and had many children, and hundreds of people are also counted as a household. It is no wonder that he was able to replace Chang'an more than two hundred years later and become the most prosperous imperial capital of the Song Dynasty.

Chu Suiliang and Jiang Fang are a kind of people, belonging to the more literate shrewd officials, at least the Bianzhou City, which is smaller than Luoyang, is more prosperous than Luoyang, it seems that the character of the chief official in power in ancient times will be strict zhòng affect the local culture, and even the landform, Hou Junji will make Luoyang a difficult to conquer city, Jiang Fang will make Bianzhou a beautiful scenery, prosperous and livable city, Yanglin will go ashore when he arrives, followed by two new little followers Hou Xing and Hou Yi, as for the guards, The monster with the big gun on his back was scary, and he was driven away by Yanglin.

Hou Xing and Hou Yi had a lot of bags on their heads, which were knocked out without getting a standard answer after Yang Lin asked 'is it handsome and cool or not', Wang Erniu went to Hebei, and the poor brothers really suffered without anyone to teach.

Bianzhou city is not yet famous in the Song Dynasty 'Fan Lou' Yanglin can not drink flower wine at this age, after a few laps he probably has some understanding of the city, Kaifeng Mansion is a pasta-based city, soy sauce and vinegar will be the city's best-selling products, just wait for tomorrow all aspects of publicity in place, after the art troupe starts, Yanglin can estimate the size of Bianzhou supermarket according to sales.

In the street window of a restaurant, Yang Lin saw Li Tai's figure, this girl didn't eat less at the banquet on the boat, why did she run down to the restaurant alone? Yang Lin wanted to go up and ask Li Tai with great interest. This tavern has what you have to try.

The two waiters guarding the staircase of the restaurant looked a little struggling after seeing Yang Lin, but they didn't dare to stop them after all.

"Deputy Head Li Tai, why don't you notify me if you find a delicious place." Yang Lin didn't think much about it, and went straight to the window seat full of a large circle on the second floor, but he didn't want the entire second floor to be the only one to open the seat, and then look at the people who sat with Li Tai, my obedient, they were all Bianzhou City officials who had a banquet on the boat, didn't they have enough to eat and drink? Yang Lin's face darkened for a fraction of a second and then quickly returned to his smile, just looking at the dishes on the table with his eyes full of eyes. Looking for food.

"Hehe, Xiaolinzi, you are also here, there is a big banquet on the boat, there is a big brother and Chu Changshi, the magistrates dare not let go of eating and drinking, I saw that they were only half full, so I invited them to accompany me to walk around Bianzhou City, find a restaurant by the way, and eat some snacks." Li Tai got up a little embarrassed and said. He also invited all the officials to greet Yanglin.

Yang Lin returned the salute with the smiling faces of the officials one by one, and then attacked the dim sum on the table by himself, and said with a smile while eating: "It's just you, I haven't eaten enough to talk, no." Deliberately looking for a good place to eat a few bites, who would have thought that they would just run into you. ”

The officials also laughed and said yes, and then picked up the snacks in front of their tables one by one and stuffed them into their mouths, pretending to be extremely hungry and stopped talking. Yang Lin was not worried that they would eat sandwich food, and while taking a small bite of the dim sum on Li Tai's table, he persuaded everyone to eat more. This banquet, which I didn't know what the atmosphere was, was disturbed by Yang Lin like this, and it didn't take long for the magistrates to retire one after another.

"Xiao Linzi, you said that if I begged my father to change my fief from Jinyang to Bianzhou, would he agree?" Li Tai is younger in the end, and there is no old and spicy manpower around him, he doesn't know that Yanglin has penetrated his mind, but this kid can be regarded as having some strategic vision, Bianzhou waterways extend in all directions, and live in the center of the north, south, east and west, if you want to make Li Er's rebellion, this is almost the best location, as long as an army is stationed here, you can completely cut off the army or materials from Jiangnan, Hebei and other places to and from Luoyang Chang'an, needless to say that Yanglin also knows that Jiang Fang, who is not present, must be Li Er's diehard, Li Tai is careful, The probability of success is almost zero.

"Qingque, do you know the importance of the feudal king's town and the importance of the feudal king's control of the traffic lifeline to the country? If I didn't strike you, Bianzhou couldn't have become a fief for any prince, even if His Majesty was dizzy one day, the courtiers wouldn't allow His Majesty to do this, so you must not mention this matter in front of Your Majesty, it will only make Your Majesty feel that you are an ignorant idiot who deceives him. "Yang Lin has no interest in eating pastries, he doesn't plan to go to anyone to sue Li Tai, he is still just a child, Yang Lin never calls Li Tai's name in private, as long as he shouts the name, it means that the things he said are very strict.

Some dejected Li Tai nodded yes, just now there are also officials who have put forward Yanglin's opinion, they also think it is unlikely, but Li Tai has been in the domain for two or three years, only needs to operate, may not be able to stay in the center, Hebei has Li Daozong in charge of the army, if Li Tai goes to Jinyang to become a vassal, he will almost become a powerless and idle prince, worse than Wu King Li Ke, at least in Jiangdong, Liu Hongji's control of the local area is not as strong as Li Daozong, who has been fighting all year round.

The petty officials and officials cling to a prince just want to make some profits, mix up and get promoted and make a fortune, Yang Lin doesn't think they can really make any waves, Li Tai has the mind to compete for the throne Yang Lin also knew that when he didn't wear it to the Tang Dynasty, he also knew that the reason why he was tied to the belt of the art troupe was to dispel his mind by changing the law, it seems that he is not very successful, and he needs to continue to work hard.

The consumption power of Bianzhou City is really not lost to Luoyang, the second day of the show was held after the praise of the people, with the experience of Luoyang City in front, Yanglin naturally felt the need to open an additional one, so the scattered sales of the fleet in two days reached 300,000 yuan, and at the same time to huàn to more than 30,000 stone of grain, Bianzhou waterways are developed, and the food is naturally sufficient, which is within Yanglin's expectations.

On the third day of the business meeting to form a supermarket, it was held on the big ship of the art troupe, and the conversation was more smooth, Jiang Fang on behalf of the official Bianzhou City invested 100,000 yuan, and personally served as the chairman of the supermarket management committee, which is probably the result of receiving a notice from Li Er, Yanglin also received a letter sent by Li Er's clipper, and a flood broke out in Guanzhong, but because the Yangjiang hub project dredged the eight rivers of Chang'an, it was not too strict, but there were signs of locust plague outbreaks reported everywhere, What Yang Lin had guessed last year was about to come true.

"Fortunately, Lao Tzu didn't give the emperor the money for spring ploughing seeds, otherwise I don't know how much to sprinkle out in vain, Liu Sanhu, I'll give you a big boat, four bullocks, you escort me day and night to Chang'an with the grain exchanged for Bianzhou, the first thing I did after going back was to inform Aunt Seven, and send all the chickens and ducks in the chicken and duck breeding factory to the field for me, don't feed them a grain of grain, spread around Chang'an City, she knows what to do, if the disaster is severe, you will bring my words to Your Majesty' The locusts ate the man's food, and the man ate the locust. Yang Lin summoned Liu Sanhu, the leader of the guard team, and said urgently, and at the same time, a letter to Li Er was stuffed into his arms.

Li Er in Chang'an City had actually just received the first letter sent back by Yang Lin from Luoyang, and his will to the state government to fully cooperate with the fleet to sell goods was sent before the fleet set off, and Jiang Fang deeply understood the meaning of his will, and it was also implemented very well. Almost all of the letters in Li Er's case expounded on the operation of the supermarket and the benefits it brought to the imperial court, and at the same time mentioned that the production and raw material cultivation areas of the top ten factories in the east and west should not be limited to Chang'an, and it was necessary to develop branch factories in other state capitals, and there was also a special request that Li Er felt ridiculous, so that he ordered the entire Guanzhong land not to eat chickens and ducks, and drove the chickens and ducks raised in captivity at home to the fields to be stocked. Li Ercai began to face up to this problem, so he urgently promulgated a will.

The retail and wholesale transactions in Bianzhou went very smoothly, and in two days, the transaction amount was tens of thousands of guan higher than that of Luoyang, and the grain was more than 20,000 stones, and Yanglin divided a few people to stay to help guide Jiang Fang and a group of businessmen to build and manage the supermarket, and then ordered the fleet to continue to the next station, and the time could not be delayed, and now it is April day, and at the latest, in June, Yanglin will transport a batch of rice or wheat grain back to Chang'an, At the same time, he sent a letter to Sun Simiao of the pharmaceutical factory, asking him to stop selling Chinese patent medicines to foreign merchants and produce a large number of anti-epidemic and disinfection drugs.

Chenliu County and Yongqiu County along the way are only two more than 1,000 households in the county, Yanglin only assigned a few cargo ships to dock down to sell goods, the headquarters with a large team went straight to the next stop Songzhou, which is the old place of Li Er and Wang Shichong's war, and it is also a strategic place related to the future national fortunes of the Tang Dynasty, the Anshi Rebellion that pushed the Tang Dynasty to decline stopped in Songzhou, Yanglin no matter what size of the state capital it is now, decided to stop here and enter the city to have a look, or wait for the two groups of cargo ships that were divided out in Chenliu and Yongqiu.
