Chapter 351: The Key to Success or Failure

Xu Guangqi listened to the words of the craftsmen, and was happy, and excited, raft transport, very suitable for the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the upper reaches of the Yellow River are too dangerous, it is not easy to sail, if you insist on sailing, you can only rely on a large number of manpower to pull the boat up, it is very laborious, if you use a raft to transport people, to the downstream with a carriage, mules and horses to transport the raft to the upstream, in this way, things are much simpler, he Xu Guangqi is not no one in his hands, the key is that there is no food, the whole province of Shaanxi is short of food, and it is not easy to transfer food from other places, and the consumption is too large, The only way out is to transport all the victims out.

"So, is it feasible to make rafts on a large scale to transport the victims?" Xu Guangqi smiled and stroked his beard, chatting happily with those craftsmen.

"It's totally possible, but I don't know how many sheepskin rafts adults are going to make? Immigrants are not a small number," one craftsman asked.

"There are at least 2,000 animals in each county, and there are more than 80 prefectures and counties in Shaanxi, and I am afraid that more than 100,000 animals will be skinned ......," Xu Guangqi explained with a smile.

Craftsmen, you look at me, I look at you, one by one is so surprised that they can't close their mouths, hundreds of thousands of animals have to be slaughtered, skinned, and fetal, how many craftsmen do you have to make?

The man with some insight said: "Back to the adult's words, this is indeed possible, but it is difficult to find so many craftsmen, our Xi'an Mansion is not the most sheepskin rafts, to be honest, if the adult wants to make hundreds of thousands of livestock, just one Xi'an Mansion, there is no way to drive it out, this will miss the adult's business, miss the immigration event, we have no ability to ......" This craftsman also knows that the living Bodhisattva Lord Xu is going to use a leather raft to transport the victims, and the shorter the time for transporting the victims, the better, Let a few of them kill more than 100,000 animals, and it will not work for more than half a year, so they will immediately refuse.

"Hehe, you don't need to worry, the official means to recruit craftsmen who can make sheepskin rafts in Shaanxi, and each state and county is only two thousand leather tires...... Xu Guangqi explained.

Hearing this, the craftsmen breathed a sigh of relief, and the craftsman who had some insight said: "Back to the words of adults, to say that they can make rafts, will use rafts, in fact, the most place is the upper reaches of the Yellow River, above the old Dongshengwei, to Ningxia Town, and even Lanzhou, Gansu Town, there, whether it is to make a raft, with a raft, or to use a raft to carry people, goods, that is very common, there are a large number of people who specialize in making a living from rafts, if adults want to make a batch of rafts out as soon as possible, you can ask people to go to the upper reaches of the Yellow River, to Ningxia TownOn the one hand, adults can buy a lot of ready-made leather tires, no need to make another production, and furthermore, down the river, it only takes two or three days to get to the old Dongshengwei of my dynasty, which is very convenient, there are many livestock over there, and there is no shortage of cattle on the grassland, and the most important thing on the grassland is livestock, and the tribe does not have thousands, tens of thousands of livestock? As long as the adults can afford the price, or are willing to exchange the things that the tribes on the grassland urgently need, it is easy to exchange them for a large number of livestock and leather tires......" The knowledgeable craftsman said about the raft in detail.

Xu Guangqi couldn't help but clap his hands and praise: "Good idea, good idea, this old man, it seems that you are quite familiar with this aspect of things."

"Back to adults, the small craft was learned over there, and I have been working there for many years as a raft, so I am familiar with it, and then when I got older, I went to Xi'an Mansion to make a living, so I am quite familiar with the things over there." The craftsman explained.

"Okay, good, good old man, I don't know if I can do this official a favor?" Xu Guangqi immediately made a decision, ready to go to Ningxia and Gansu to find someone to buy rafts, and was ready to let this craftsman who was familiar with the situation over there lead the way, so that he could quickly obtain a lot of rafts, and then go down the river, he could go to Yansui in a few days, and he could go to Fugu County, where to pick up immigrants and go out of Shaanxi.

"The adults just say, what can help the adults, the grass people will never shirk, the adults are living Bodhisattvas, the grass people can follow the living Bodhisattvas to do things, it is a blessing from the previous life......" The craftsman immediately agreed, and other yamen asked him to do things, he was afraid or out of fear, but the Si Nong Division was different, the Si Nong Division was a yamen who saved people, and he was willing to go.

"Okay, what this official means is that this official immediately sent people to Ningxia and Gansu towns to buy rafts, recruit a group of people to make rafts, and make rafts need someone to lead the way, I don't know if the old man is willing or not?" Xu Guangqi asked. ,

"Back to the adult's words, this is no problem, this grass people are the most familiar, this kind of people who specialize in making a living on rafts, on the side of the Yellow River, I don't know how many, as long as the adults say a word, the grass people guarantee that they immediately drive the raft to save people, as the saying goes, save people's lives, create a seven-level floating slaughter, adults are saving millions of victims, grass people are willing to follow adults to save people......" This person with a little insight is also a temperamental person, I heard that Xu Guangqi was going to rescue the people, and immediately agreed to help.

"Okay, my husband will go home to pack up first, say goodbye to his family, and when the official makes a little arrangement for things, he will immediately set off for Ningxia and Gansu Town, and strive to buy rafts as soon as possible and find those who make rafts." Seeing that the matter was urgent, Xu Guangqi immediately made a decision without the slightest hesitation.

"Good grass people, let's go say goodbye to their families and follow the adults......" The old man was full of pride, and his old face burst out with dazzling brilliance.

"My lord, we are also willing to follow the adult, my lord, accept us......" The group of craftsmen saw that someone had climbed up to Xu Guangqi, a living Bodhisattva, and they were not to be outdone, and they also petitioned one after another, and they also wanted to go.

"Hehe, everyone, don't be impatient, you will stay in Xi'an Mansion for the time being, Xi'an Mansion still has to ask you to make rafts, this to Ningxia, what you want is a fast word, there are too many people, but the trip is delayed......"

The craftsmen gave up.

……

"Jade rope, jade rope? ......" Xu Guangqi sent the craftsman away and immediately discussed things with Zhou Yanru, but unfortunately, Zhou Yanru didn't know when he ran away without a trace.

"Master Xu, I'm here, here." Zhou Yanru immediately came out from behind, just now Xu Guangqi met with the group of craftsmen, but he was smoked to death, he took the opportunity and slipped away quietly, but he was afraid that he would miss something and didn't hear it, so he hid in the back of the living room and stole the sound, in order not to smoke those people, and when he heard Xu Guangqi's call, he came out immediately.

"Jade Rope, did you hear what you said just now?" Xu Guangqi is a little dissatisfied, this Zhou Yanru still has a lot of problems, one of which is that he doesn't know the people's suffering, has no intersection with the people, doesn't understand the life of the people, and doesn't want to see the people, this shortcoming will definitely greatly limit Zhou Yanru's development in the future, in the future, even if Zhou Yanru climbs to the cabinet, if this problem is not changed, I am afraid it will not be a good cabinet. Xu Guangqi was secretly worried, looking at this Zhou Yanru's guy, in his thirties, he became an immigrant deputy minister at a young age, and he was afraid that it would be natural for him to enter the cabinet in the future, if he used this kind of auxiliary minister who did not know the suffering of the people, did not understand the lives of the people, and refused to contact the people, I am afraid that this is not the blessing of the imperial court, and I am afraid that it is not the blessing of His Majesty.

"Hehe, Master Xu, just now, the jade rope did not miss a word, I heard it, Master Xu, go to Ningxia and Gansu towns to buy rafts, this is a good thing, I heard that there are a large number of people who live on rafts, but they can let them carry the victims of Gansu and Ningxia towns down the river, and they can save a lot of victims, which is far easier than coming by land, if their rafts go to Fugu County, this Fugu, Xing County, Jia County and other places along the Yellow River will not be a problem, I will calculate, at most five or six days, Fast horses can go to Ningxia Town, and then buy rafts, recruit those who live on rafts, down the Yellow River, at a speed of 400 miles a day, a total of ten days, the raft can go to Fugu County, so, can greatly save time ......, by the way, listen to the old craftsman said, above the old Dongshengwei, there are a large number of nomadic tribes, perhaps, we can find them to buy a large number of cattle and sheep, let the craftsmen make rafts, meat will be made into jerky, so, perhaps, than from the south of the Yangtze River to transfer grain is easier, anyway, It's just an emergency, and it's good to survive October, and by that time, the victims have almost all been transferred out of Shaanxi, and I'm not afraid that Shaanxi will run out of food, Master Xu, what do you say? "Zhou Yanru is not a stupid person, although there are some problems, but he is also a transparent person, and from various news, he quickly organized many useful methods.

Xu Guangqi sighed, this Zhou Yanru still needs to be honed, smart, talented, and a young champion, people are inevitably a little "pampered", and they have to hone and hone in the future, and they will be a good helper of the emperor. Xu Guangqi thought about it for a while, and said: "The jade rope is right, this matter is indeed a good idea, since there are a large number of sheepskin rafts in Ningxia and Gansu towns, and they can even use sheepskin rafts to transport tens of thousands of catties of goods, then, there will definitely be a group of people who rely on this raft for a living, then we will go out of Lao Dongshengwei, go up to Ningxia and Gansu towns, search for these rafts everywhere, let them use the rafts to carry the victims, and go down the river, but by the way, we can solve the problem of the victims in Ningxia and Gansu towns. Then drive the raft to Fugu, to transport the victims, but also the ...... of the disaster victims, and then outside the border wall of my face, find those tribes to buy cattle and sheep in large quantities, regardless of the quality of the cattle and sheep, as long as you can make a raft, as long as there is meat, the skin will be made into a raft, the meat will be made into jerky, and then float down the Yellow River, in this way, it is far more convenient than transporting grain from the south, the jade rope is good, although eating meat is a bit luxurious, but as long as we hold on to October, the victims of Shaanxi, I am afraid that it will be almost transferred...... Luxury is luxury......" Xu Guangqi said. ,

“…… In this case, then, this matter, the old man feels that there is still a lack of someone to supervise this matter, this matter is very important, recruiting raft customers, buying rafts, buying cattle and sheep, there will be a lot of money to handle, if it is not a trustworthy person, the old man is not at ease, besides, these things, far away in Ningxia, Gansu Town, too far away from Xi'an, in order to facilitate the act, you need a person who can make a decision on the spot, so, the old man thinks, jade rope, it is better for you to go" Xu Guangqi felt that this Zhou Yanru really needed some training, It is necessary to grind away those faults in his body, so that he can enter the cabinet in the future and assist the emperor well.

Zhou Yanru froze, Xu Guangqi wanted to send him to Ningxia to collect rafts, buy and sell cattle and sheep ......, this was really lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, running from Xi'an to Ningxia in five or six days ......, Zhou Yanru felt that his ass probably had to be sharpened. Thinking about what cattle and sheep he went to that remote place in Ningxia to buy with the Mongolian tribe on this hot day, Zhou Yanru felt that he smelled a smell of cattle and sheep.

“…… This, Master Xu...... This ......" Zhou Yanru began to have a bitter face, and wanted to resign from this errand, but there was really no excuse, the idea was still his own, and the amount of silver he handled was indeed quite a lot, probably more than 100,000 taels of silver, and it was not wrong to find someone who had the right to make a decision and could rely on him to do this, after all, Ningxia and Gansu towns were too far away.

"Jade rope, this matter is very important, others go, the old man is not at ease, only the jade rope goes, the old man can ......rest assured" Xu Guangqi wanted Zhou Yanru to hone and hone more, and grind off the "arrogance" on his body.

“…… However, Master Xu, in fact, this matter can also be done by sending immigration officers, and now there are many talents in this immigration officer, who can appoint one or several people to operate this matter, and the integrity of the immigration officer is still reliable. Zhou Yanru began to make excuses for himself and shirk.

"Well, Jade Rope is right, immigration officers,...... Well, we really have to send people to inform the immigration officials in various places that we are going to start buying cattle and sheep, and all the prefectures and counties with rivers, according to the situation, each county is temporarily limited to 2,000 leather tires, and we have to strive to transport the victims out of Shaanxi before the end of October, so that we can survive...... Jade rope, the more the old man thinks about it, the more he feels that this matter should be handled as soon as possible, Xi'an Mansion to Ningxia, 1,500 miles of road, 500 miles of expedited, it only takes three days, you can send the news to Ningxia Town, so that the immigration officer of Ningxia Town is ready, in addition, the old man asks Lord Bi for an order, the government of Ningxia Town will also help, the jade rope does not have to travel 500 miles a day, it takes five or six days to get to Ningxia Town, and it is almost the same, to Ningxia Town, the preliminary preparations, I believe that the immigration officer of Ningxia Town and the local government have prepared almost for the jade ropeAs long as the jade rope makes a decision, it can immediately make rafts on a large scale, buy cattle and sheep, and ask the jade rope to focus on the community, the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the Ming Dynasty, and must do a good job in this matter...... "Xu Guangqi is not a pedantic person, seeing such a good opportunity to "hone" Zhou Yanru, he is willing to miss it, and immediately asks Zhou Yanru to go to Ningxia Town on an errand......

Zhou Yanru wanted to cry, looking at Xu Guangqi's meaning, he had to go, 1,500 miles, it would be there in five or six days, wouldn't he have to run two or three hundred miles a day? Zhou Yanru thought about his buttocks, afraid that it was going to bloom, thinking about this hot day, ...... said sadly: "Master Xu, is it too anxious to go to Ningxia Town in five or six days?" Zhou Yanru began to plead, if Xu Guangqi must go by himself, then he really has to go, how did he come to be this deputy Qincha, he knew in his heart that the original name was that Xu Guangqi was too old and couldn't be too tired, so he had to match a young man to help Xu Guangqi run errands, so Xu Guangqi, who was a Zhengqincha, had absolutely the right to command this deputy Qincha who helped him run errands, otherwise, Xu Guangqi said a few words in front of the emperor a little, and this deputy Qincha was afraid that he would have to be replaced.

"Alas, jade rope, old man, this is also for your good, you are young, you have to hone and hone, go to Ningxia Town, you have to pay more attention to the suffering of the people, understand more about the trends of the people, deal more with the people of the people, and enter the cabinet to assist Your Majesty in the future, so that you can give advice to Your Majesty, otherwise, with Your Majesty's sage, you are afraid that even if you enter the cabinet, Your Majesty will not be able to look down on you." Xu Guangqi still told Zhou Yanru the truth, no matter what, Zhou Yanru has indeed put a lot of effort into it for a while, although he still can't look down on it, but he feels that Zhou Yanru is a talent that can be created, judging from his future growth height, it is almost a foregone conclusion to enter the cabinet, and it is necessary to remind him. ,

Zhou Yanru was very ashamed, Xu Guangqi said that it was his fault, he himself knew this, but, how many years of problems, no way, seeing those lowly people, he Zhou Yanru involuntarily floated his eyes up, his chin went up, and he couldn't help but despise it in his heart, when Xu Guangqi said that he would enter the cabinet in the future, when the emperor couldn't look down on this sentence, Zhou Yanru lowered his head in shame, and he had no face to see people, the emperor was named the word "holy", it was not unreasonable, and the things he did were some big things beyond ordinary people's thoughts. Ordinary people, ordinary things, the emperor really can't look down on it, thinking that he will have to deal with the emperor of "Shengming" in the future, if he still has such a temper, I'm afraid that it is really similar to what Xu Guangqi said, and the emperor can't look down on it, because the emperor is not easy to bluff......

"Alas......, Jade Rope, you arrange this matter first, and immediately send someone to notify the immigration officers in various places, so that they can immediately make a raft, and the matter of the silver money, Si Nong Si will pay a part of it first, and let them think of more ways to do it themselves, after the old man asks His Majesty for silver, they will not be less than a cent, let them start the raft immediately, without delay, if there is a poor work, don't blame the old man for being ruthless......" Xu Guangqi also said a cruel word, at this critical time, naturally no one wants anyone to drop the chain. At the moment of life and death, he can't care about anything else, and now he is the agricultural division and those who rebel in tug-of-war and grab the victims, and he can't afford to lose.

Zhou Yanru was still bowing his head in shame, thinking about how to avoid this level, when he heard Xu Guangqi's cruel words, he was startled, thinking that he was talking about himself, and immediately agreed.

“…… Jade Rope, you have done this, immediately set off, first bring 100,000 silver coins over, specifically to collect rafts, whether it will be built, or will make, or put the rafts, let them all go to Fugu County, and then outside my border wall, a large number of livestock, this matter, you think about it yourself, I believe that with the shrewdness of the jade rope, it should not be wrong, the old man is still that sentence, wrong, don't blame the old man for being ruthless, how urgent is the situation in Shaanxi, the jade rope is the clearest, the old man will not repeat it......" Xu Guangqi was ruthless, and he must build a large-scale leather raft and strive to transfer the victims out of Shaanxi as much as possible by the end of October. Only in this way will the tug-of-war between the other agricultural division and the rebellion win, once it drags on until November, after the Yellow River freezes, the ability to transport the victims will be greatly reduced, and at that time, he will not be able to compete with those who want to rebel, and the success or failure of life and death will be done in one fell swoop.

Zhou Yanru saw that Xu Guangqi spoke so resolutely, and he also hated it in his heart, knowing that no matter how much he quibbled, he couldn't do anything, others were Zhengqincha, and he himself was just a deputy Qincha who ran errands for Zhengqincha, so he had to listen to others.

“…… Alas, jade rope, the road to Ningxia Town is not very safe, not to mention that you have to buy and sell cattle and sheep with the Mongols outside the border wall, in this way, you take three hundred Qin guards over, so that the road is safer......" Xu Guangqi didn't want to kill Zhou Yanru, but just wanted to hone Zhou Yanru, so that this guy who will definitely enter the cabinet in the future will have more experience and be less "squeamish".

Zhou Yanru was moved again, three hundred Qincha guards, according to this scale, his deputy Qincha is actually not bad, the usual Qincha, there is no Qincha guard at all, even if there are some guards, the number is limited, there is like today's Son of Heaven, one time gave Xu Guangqi a thousand Qincha guards, which makes people look blushing, with three hundred Qincha guards by his side, Zhou Yanru feels that Xu Guangqi is good to himself.

"Thank you, Master Xu, Jade Rope is going to do something." Zhou Yanru is ashamed, ashamed, annoyed, secretly hateful, grateful, and grateful, anyway, seven or eight emotions are wrapped together, and they are complicated.

[Hehe, please have the ability to do more promotion, thank you QQ group: 127593523]
