Chapter 0335. The first pot of gold, forcing you to now...
In just a few days, from Fuzhou City to Putian County, the whole was busy with two large construction sites, the original small port on the coast of Fuzhou was built more and more flat by the cement brought by the ships from the north, and the filling soil went deep into the sea, and the docks came out of thin air.

The people who do these are all Minwang Tielin from the north, who makes the current labor too small? A certain unscrupulous prince suffered thousands of soldiers with a sentence of adaptive training, and one by one they were sweating under the sun, but they didn't dare to complain.
There's no way, I don't know which of the unethical ghosts came up with a bad move, so that the King of Min decided to govern the army in a civilized manner, and invited a dozen old Confucians from Jiangnan to explain the Four Books and Five Classics to the whole army, who can listen to that thing? If you don't go to work, you have to listen to the class, and these people have to knock out their front teeth and go to the port to carry the stones.
However, the expansion of the port is beneficial, and there are more ships from the north, especially more than ten large fishing boats sent by Li You, the king of Qi, have also followed, and the big fish that are caught every day are piled up, so that the food of the whole army is enriched a little, and the excess fish is not only made into dried fish, but also sold to Fuzhou City, and no one can get a few points evenly pasted, although it is not much, after all, it is a happiness.
The big fishing boats that sailed away also brought the first impact to the ancient Fujian, originally there were many fishermen on the coast who made a living by fishing and selling fish, but now the port was occupied, not to mention, the cheap big fish of the Minwang Mansion also took their market away, and within three or four days, under the impetus of some well-intentioned people, all five or six hundred fishermen dragged their families to the Minwang military camp to protest.
It's a pity that these people didn't see it as a joke, but pinched their sweat, Li Jie was not polite, and all the people who came to protest were arrested on the charge of disturbing the barracks, not only that, but in the past few days, the Min Wangjun has been dispatched frequently, and several prefectures and counties under Fuzhou have all made a fuss, and as long as he is a strong man, he was arrested by the Min Wangfu on the charge of conspiracy and sent to Putian County.
Under such a toss, at the beginning of August, Chen Cheng, the Fuzhou Thorn Shi Chen Cheng, the Jianzhou Thorn Shi Huda and the Quanzhou Taishou Zhong Yuanhong, who had been visiting for a month, finally hurried to Putian County, looking at the sea, the three top people in Fujian couldn't help but be taken aback.
Putian County has not changed much, but the seaside has changed a lot, dozens of big wheels almost ten meters high have been placed in the sea, hundreds of big men have shouted and shouted the wheels and constantly pulled the wheels, along the wooden barrels on the big wheels, the sea water has been continuously pumped up, and flowed down some well-built ditches to the beach.
The beach has also been leveled, and impervious square pools have been dug out, and there are constantly workers tidying up the pools under the orders of the foreman, and it is a busy scene.
What made several big officials feel dazzled the most was that the hills were generally piled up there, constantly filling bags, and the white flowers were shiny sea salt!
Salt in later generations is too ordinary, but this era is different, salt is a valuable resource that people can't do without, inefficient boiling sea for salt requires a lot of time and cost labor, Fujian is such a barren place and even has to eat Huai salt, how did I not expect a month of hard work King Min silently tossed out so much salt.
Immediately forgetting the purpose of his visit, his eyes flashed with greed, Hu Da Chong pulled the other two to enter the salt farm, but unfortunately a group of soldiers stopped them as soon as they arrived at the door.
"Blind your dog's eyes, Lao Tzu is the Jianzhou assassin Shihuda, don't let Lao Tzu let you all squat in prison one by one!"
The frontier land has always been rampant, Hu Dana has encountered this kind of cold reception, so he jumped to his feet and scolded regardless of his appearance, but the captain officer who didn't want to guard the door rolled his eyes disdainfully: "We are Fujian observers, and the soldiers under the command of the King of Fujian will not be under your control for a few lifetimes, so stay where it is cool!" ”
"You're dying early! Come! In a fit of rage, Hu Da roared with red eyes, but as soon as his subordinates brutally drew their knives, countless footsteps came from all directions in the sharp whistle, and seeing the surrounding Xuanjia soldiers holding snow-bright steel heavy crossbows against themselves and others, cold sweat flowed from the heads of the three assassins.
"Everyone, misunderstanding, misunderstanding! We are the governors of several states in Fujian, and we have come to meet our boss King Min, who has been neglecting etiquette in the frontier for a long time, and I ask for your understanding. ”
"Everyone, after all, we are officials of the imperial court, and if we are so threatened and neglected, it is not easy for you to explain to the King of Min!"
Arching his fist, Fuzhou Thorn Shi Chen Cheng turned around with a smile, the threat of soft and hard is really effective, the captain guarding the door hesitated, and finally waved his hand and dismissed his subordinates, which can be regarded as a relief to the three Thorn Shi, Hu Dashang couldn't wipe his face and hid behind with a snort, and Chen Cheng continued to arch his hands like a smiling Buddha.
"This general, we want to meet the King of Min, please introduce him."
A general, the captain who called Liaodong to enlist in the army blushed, and hurriedly arched his hand politely and said: "The general doesn't dare, he is just a junior general under the King of Fujian, and he is ordered to guard here, and he must not leave, if a few officials want to meet, just go to the West Qin Tower in Putian County, where will His Royal Highness meet guests these days." ”
"Meeting guests?" Hearing this word, several assassins couldn't help but glance at each other solemnly, the politics of the Fujian family are particularly strong, almost everyone is under the control of the family, these days they are strictly ordered subordinates not to be allowed to visit the King of Min, this is also out of the Putian Zheng family A traitor, meeting guests, it is natural that the dignified King of Min can not be a mud leg, is there a traitor?
Thinking of this, Chen Cheng hurriedly arched his hand with a smile, and rushed back with a group of people, not noticing that on the high lookout bamboo tower in the salt field, an old man and a young man were watching them in a trance.
"Hehe, interesting, this Hu Dadu is in his forties, and he is still so frizzy and irritable in his work, there are many people who don't know how to die, but this Chen Cheng, the young man is not easy to deal with, but looking at him in cotton clothes and silk, in the end, he is still a teenager who pursues luxury and attracts interests, and he should be able to subdue this person, as for that Zhong Yuanhong, he is only a promise."
Brushing his beard, Lao Yang Yi nodded with a smile, but Di Huaiying shook his head and denied his judgment on the other side: "The teacher is not, the disciple looks at the most difficult of the three to deal with, but this Zhong Yuanhong, Hu Da, Chen Cheng, behind them are all promoted by the Yongjia immigrant family, it is not surprising to be able to sit in this position, but Zhong Yuanhong was born in a small civilian family, and he can be a thorn in Fujian, it is impossible to have no ability, such a person is the most forbearant and the most difficult." ”
"Oh? It's that the old man doesn't have a long-term vision, so he's not as young as you. Not angry at all, Yang Yi stroked his beard and smiled heartily, so that Di Renjie had to rush to bow down: "Teacher, don't dare to be!" Don't dare to be! ”
On the other hand, hurriedly returned to Putian County, Hu Da and a few found that what they ignored when they came, the east city wall of the county was actually demolished, and hundreds of craftsmen were busy expanding the city wall with some tools they couldn't understand, and at the same time, the neatly planned stone buildings were also uprooted.
Many craftsmen were carefully selected by the Tang Dynasty to marry in Tubo, Li Jie did not kill them with a thought, but entrusted them to Li Su, the king of Shu who went to Yizhou to take office, and he didn't expect that these people would play such a big role later.
Historically, Li Su often beat officials for no reason in Yizhou, hunting does not know how to converge, in short, there are more Se than there are, this time, there is more Li Jie, which is more unreasonable, and Li Su can more or less converge in Yizhou, but what should I play or how to play, but Li Su, who is like this, has won the title of a virtuous king.
The reason is the same, there is money, hunting and stepping on the field, ten times the compensation, which official girl do you like, a few boxes of money are sent, the petty official is eager to send his wife together, someone attacks? I'm sorry, I don't know how many brothers I have drunk with the King of Shu, and some of them are helping.
Relying on these craftsmen Li Su to run a large number of tea plantations and sugarcane plantations, and now these skilled craftsmen have been asked back by Li Jie to run Fujian, drinking and pecking, which is really wonderful.
Of course, this kind of wonderful Hu Da can not be experienced a few times, anxious, the three of them inquired and came to the newly built Xiqin Building, downstairs, the anxious Hu Da was just about to go up, cold and cold Chen Cheng hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and pulled him aside, the angry Hu Cheng once again trembled and roared in a low voice: "What's the matter?" ”
"Uncle Hu, that, that's the second son of Yue Guogong, Lord Zhidai!" Chen Cheng's voice trembled, Li Jie happened to smile and go out hand in hand with a middle-aged man, and when he arrived at the door, Feng Zhidai still said goodbye excitedly: "In this way, the salt industry in Gaozhou will be entrusted to the King of Fujian, and our Feng family is grateful." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, when this king first arrives at your place, there are still many things to worry about Uncle Feng's care." It seems that a deal has been reached, and Li Jie is also quite happy, and after saying goodbye, Feng Zhidai stepped on the four-wheeled carriage newly sent by Li Jie and whipped away.
"He, how did Li Jie, the king of Fujian, get in touch with the Lingnan Feng family?" In the surprised voice, Hu Da was also a little trembling, after all, the Feng family has too much influence in Lingnan Road, under the name of Mrs. Xian, the slang people are sultry and respectful like gods, he built the state the deepest into Fujian, the middle reaches of the Jinjiang River, the left, the middle and the right are all surrounded by these mountain people.
Chen Cheng was also a little undecided, but Zhong Yuanhong pinched his chin and didn't know what to think, but this kung fu rang in his ears unexpectedly.
"The history of Hu Thorn, the history of Chen Thorn, and the history of Zhong Thorn, come here, this king has lost his welcome."
The three of them raised their heads together, and on the other side, Li Jie didn't know when he had crossed the street and reached the three of them, his tone was full of sarcasm, and his heart was shocked, even Hu Da had to hurriedly kneel on the ground and saluted: "The prince forgives the sin, the Yueyu Mountain has changed and looted the prefectures and counties under Jianzhou, and the lower officials have to be sorted out, and the time to meet the prince is delayed, and I hope the prince will forgive the sin." ”
"The Han people of Feng County, a subordinate of Xiaguan, had an armed fight with the slang people, and they were busy with official business, so the prince forgives me."
"Xiaguan ......"
The three guys were all full of business, but Li Jie, who listened to it, couldn't help but snort coldly, in a month, even if he couldn't meet him, he couldn't send an envoy, and the three of them obviously didn't even want to admit that he was a Shangguan, but it didn't matter, Li Jie was also mentally prepared for not so smooth sailing before coming.
Thinking of this, Li Jie still had a cold attitude, and said with a cold snort: "Since this is the case, this king can't be held accountable, and now a few assassins are done, right?" Within three days, this king will see the people of Fujian to make a register, military registration, and hand over the affairs of Fujian clearly, and there must be no mistakes! ”
Hu Da's eyes widened again, and he wanted to say something, but unfortunately he was hurriedly stopped by Chen Cheng, and promised to bow down: "The lower official obeys the order." ”
Seeing the reluctant appearance of the three guys, Li Jie sneered in his heart, while not delaying making money, didn't this king force you out? .
