Gao Huaide's second son, Gao Chujun's first birthday party, broke up unhappily, Zhang Yue said goodbye early, and went directly to the vestibule to call Li Duoshou and more than a dozen other personal soldiers to go out, and took a carriage all the way home. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as he entered the door, Steward Meng came out to report, saying that Bian Ji had come back in the morning and sent someone to invite him over. Zhang Yue had no choice but to go out again, take a carriage to Bianlou, get off in front of the door, and only take Li Duoshou inside.
Based on the experience of breaking a good thing last time, Zhang Yue didn't dare to go straight this time, so he only waited in the backyard and asked a shop guy to go in and report. After waiting for a while, Bian Ji appeared in the corridor on the second floor in a nightgown, looking sleepy-eyed.
"Sit down!" Bian Ji leaned on the railing on the second floor and said hello, and ran back to the room.
Zhang Yue waited in the hall for a while, Bian Ji changed into a black round-necked narrow-sleeved robe, did not wear a hat, boxwood hairpins were inserted in the bun, and shallow cloth shoes were on his feet, sitting lazily on the wide couch, tilting his head and squinting at Zhang Yue and asked: "That woman is good-looking and very tasteful, what are you going to do?" Closing the house? ”
"Hey...... Don't ask, a thousand is still too little, I need more! Zhang Yue knew that he was asking about Song Yaozhu and the population who were smuggled to Huizhou over there.
"Just those 1,000 people, many of them are slaves and maids, and they say that they were bought in the market, but I suspect that they may be doing some human trafficking, but in fact, for them, they don't need to spend any money, which is equivalent to having no capital business, don't you think they will suffer?" Bian Ji couldn't figure out this problem a little, but he also knew that Huizhou really needed a lot of people, and when the court immigrated, he didn't know that it was the Year of the Monkey.
"Money is just a trivial matter, what is there to lose, as long as the woman gets started, everything is worth it!" Zhang Yue said indifferently.
"Okay...... It's just a woman, what can I say about you! I advise you to be careful, don't play off! Fuck me to receive the population, they actually dare to think carefully about me, not to see your face, directly to her nest. Bian Ji thought of the incident in Yunzhou and said with displeasure.
"Have a thousand people arrived in Huizhou? Will there be any trouble in Luoyang? Zhang Yue thought that if Chai Shouli knew that he had made him lose money, he didn't know how to feel.
"The people are almost here, there should be news back in the past two days, the business name in Luoyang has now been changed to the east of Nanshi, but in order not to attract attention, I asked them to change their name, called Zhonghe Commercial Bank. I suggest that the local branches be named casually, not the same name, anyway, it will be under the control of Guanzhong Huihe General Number. Bian Ji thought for a while and said.
"Alright! So be it, Mr. Feng is in charge of Guanzhong, there should be no problem. In addition, on the Yunzhou side, when will the population be collected again? You should be able to figure out something about it, right? ”
"I can collect some people in Cangzhou and Jizhou, and collect them from Yunzhou, and I can transport a batch of them in the spring of next year." Bian Ji tilted his head and thought about it, and said seriously.
While the two were talking, the shopkeeper walked briskly to the door with a young man in black, pointed inward, and turned to leave. Zhang Yue looked over casually and couldn't help but be taken aback, the person who came turned out to be Zhang Zhixing.
"The last general meets the general! Something to report! Zhang Zhixing's face was tanned, his honest spirit had gone a lot, and he had a little more of the toughness of a soldier, and quietly peeked at Bian Ji's eyes, looking a little hesitant.
"There are no outsiders here, there is something to talk about!" Let Zhang Zhixing run away in person, Zhang Yue realized that it might be a big deal, so he urged.
"General! Since the beginning of this year, we have been doing two things: one is to build a large number of houses, arrange for military families to settle down, and reclaim barren land; The second is to build military forts and military cities, and build access roads. These things all need stones, that is, after the end of the Gaoping War, several of our battalions returned to Huizhou, Wen Beijia, Li Sima, Han Senjun and others discussed with Xuanxiao Lieutenant, and moved Liang Benji's tribe to Quwu Mountain to mine stones, and Li Sima supervised there. ”
Zhang Zhixing said in detail, Zhang Yue hadn't heard the reason yet, but he was not in a hurry, so he responded: "Hmm...... This was all arranged before, and continued......"
"In June, when the coal was quarryed south of Huining Pass, it was nothing, but in mid-October, iron ore was found in Quwu Mountain, and there was an associated copper mine......"
"What? Iron ore? Are you sure? This is really an unexpected surprise, Zhang Yue sat up straight, leaned forward, and asked incredulously. This is not only iron and copper, but also coal, which is coal, and steelmaking is not a problem.
"The last general didn't dare to lie, it was indeed an iron mine, but it was the Qiang people who first discovered it and reported it to Sima Li Liangbi of the state. After the Xuandu envoy found out, he suppressed the matter and sent the last general back to Beijing to report and ask the general to take an idea. Zhang Zhixing obviously didn't think that the coal was of any use, and only talked about the iron mine.
"Sit, sit, sit...... Sit down and talk! Zhang Yue thought about it, and personally got up to help Zhang Zhixing to sit, which made Zhang Zhixing a little flattered, thought about it and asked: "How many people know about this?" ”
"As far as Li Liangbi, Liang Benji, and the Xuandu envoy and Han Senjun who are stationed in the state government know, and then the stone yard was taken over by the last general and his troops." Zhang Zhixing said honestly.
"Luck was good! But it's a bit difficult to do, the horse farm is established, did the Taifu Temple send someone to take over the horse farm? Bian Ji was also very thoughtful, and couldn't help asking.
"Nope! The horse farm was also managed by Li Sima, and there was nothing to do when he sent two county commanders, and the county officials were still soldiers. Zhang Zhixing said with a smile.
"Do you think it's better to report this matter to the court, or not to report it?" Zhang Yue hesitated a little, it was coal, copper, iron, all of them!
"If you don't report it, there will definitely be trouble in the future, so report it...... I'm afraid that many people want to share some benefits and want to repay! But not now...... However, the charcoal can be mined first, and the court does not pay attention to this. "Bian Ji is also very clear about the Tokyo officialdom, analyzed it, and quickly put forward suggestions,
"In this way, the problem has turned back, there is a shortage of labor in Huizhou, and there are no miners to be found, and the soldiers are okay to open the fields, but it is not okay to open mines." Zhang Yue said with a wry smile.
"Simple! Directly said that the carboniferous vein was discovered, and the immigrants were invited to make it, and when the smuggling population passed, the daylily was cold! Bian Ji suggested.
"Immigration has always been a trouble, try it, I'll go back and prepare!" Zhang Yue got up to say goodbye and took Zhang Zhixing out of the door, the two of them had just gotten into the carriage, a gust of wind blew, and the dense raindrops crackled down.
Fortunately, there is gluing in the gap of the carriage, which can be waterproof, and he went home all the way home safely, Zhang Yue arranged for Zhang Zhixing to stay, called Li Duoshou to go to the study, wrote the chapter, and went to the guard department the next day, and went to Zhongshu Province by the way, and handed the chapter up. It's early November, and I don't know when the approval will be.
In the following days, it was rainy for several days, and Zhang Yue still had to get married, but the bride price was sent when he was recruited, and he didn't have to go to the invitation period, thinking about what happened unexpectedly with Mrs. Yang that day, he was inconvenient to go over in person, so he sent Meng Guan to go to Hefu, and finally set an auspicious date for the wedding.
