Chapter 439: Returning the Pearl
Kneel and beg for a recommendation ticket
Qinzhou has many rivers, fertile soil and lush plants. Surrounded by the water and the sea, the mountains and rivers are wonderful, this primitive scenery is now due to the construction of one port and two roads, and its popularity has doubled.
Yang Yi took the guards to the south of the city, the street was bustling, the traffic was busy, the carts were mostly pulled with wood, bricks, tiles, grain and grass and other materials, the houses under construction were everywhere on both sides of the street, and the shouts of craftsmen and laborers were full of ears, which seemed to be extremely lively and noisy.
Li Nantong glanced at Yang Yi from time to time, feeling quite apprehensive. This time, he came to Qinzhou, in addition to pouring booty, he was mainly engaged in contracting projects.
This concept may have been inadvertently mentioned to Han Bier during a casual chat, and now she used it in Lingnan, and Li Nantong took over a large number of projects this time, including the construction of the houses of sixty heads.
When contracting these projects, although he did not explicitly play the banner of Yang Yi, as long as he vaguely revealed some clues to the Lingnan officials, it was enough for him to walk sideways in Lingnan.
He also bought hundreds of acres of land by the port, and is stepping up the construction of restaurants and warehouses, of course, he can't operate so much, this is planning to build and sell to other businessmen.
This girl is clearly the real estate dealer of later generations.
Although these things were instructed by Han Bi'er, don't forget who is the head of the family, Yang Yi led the army to crusade against Jiaozhi in the front, he didn't know these things before, and what Li Nantong is worried about now is what Yang Yi will think of this matter.
But Yang Yi never said anything, which made him even more uneasy.
Coming to the south of the city, a vast open space. Sixty large mansions are being built at the same time, each with a four-hall courtyard with a back garden. In the near future, this will become a wealthy area in Qinzhou, because the people who live here are all bigwigs of all ethnic groups who have thousands of acres of fertile land and four official residences, although they have no real power. But the four rank officials will be brought to death.
Generally speaking, for the sake of the long-term peace and stability of Lingnan, the imperial court gave them very favorable treatment.
Yang Yi looked at it. turned around and said lightly to Li Nantong: "Don't smash the reputation of the Yang family, especially these houses, even if it is a loss." You're going to build it for me, and if something goes wrong, I'll ask you. ”
"Adults can rest assured, villains know the severity, and never let adults make things difficult." Li Nantong hurriedly bowed down and answered.
Yang Yigang wanted to say a few more words, but a cold snort suddenly came from beside him: "I finally heard you say something human, the guy who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, this time you still have a little conscience." ”
Yang Yi turned his head and saw that it wasn't Xian Lingspider who came out from behind the tree a few steps away.
That day, she reprimanded Yang Yi for crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and was slapped by her grandfather Xian Meng. Yang Yi hasn't seen her since then, this girl is very beautiful, but Yang Yi didn't dare to touch her, so he had to laugh and say: "Coincidentally, why is the spirit spider girl here?" ”
It's okay not to ask. As soon as he asked, Xian Lingzhu suddenly replied angrily as if he had been stepped on his tail: "Where can I go if I am not here?" Are you going to let my family go back to the eight holes? Thanks to your Yang scholar's blessing, I'm going to live here for the rest of my life, you say, I'm not here, where else can I go? Where to? ”
Xian Lingzhu asked again and again. There were hazy tears in his eyes.
After getting along for a short time, this was the first time Yang Yi saw her tears, he didn't want to look at it more, don't look at the busy construction site, and said to him left and right: "Spirit spider girl, isn't it very good here?" When it's finished, it's going to be beautiful......."
Before he could finish speaking, Xian Lingzhu interrupted him and said, "It's just your opinion, you always like to impose your ideas on others, I like the eight holes, you let me go back to the eight holes, you let me go back to the eight holes......"
Yang Yi got off the horse, looked at her stubborn face, and said in a harmonious voice: "Spirit Spider girl, let's go over there for a walk, okay?" ”…,
Yang Yi said and pointed to the small river a hundred and ten steps away, there were a few longan trees by the river, the canopy was verdant, and it was much quieter than the construction site here.
Xian Lingzhu was about to refuse, but in the end, he agreed by a ghost.
Yang Yi handed over the horse to the guards and walked with her towards the river, and several of the guards were far behind.
When he arrived at the stream, Yang Yi leaned against the trunk of the tree and said: "Spirit Spider girl, in fact, your grandfather should see very clearly, the era of Lingnan's independent politics is over, this is the trend of the times, even if it is not me, if it is replaced by someone else, you have to accept such a result, even a very bloody result, do you understand what I mean?" ”
Xian Lingzhu couldn't help but be a little excited: "I don't understand, I don't understand, I just know that you are a bastard who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, I just want to go back to the eighth hole, I don't want to see you again, don't see you bastard!" ”
Yang Yi was a little stunned, he didn't expect Xian Lingzhu to even scold the bastard, but thinking about it, he was really not a good person, so forget it.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Don't worry, Miss Lingzhu, you won't see me again soon, the matter of Guangnan is on the right track a little, I will go back to Beijing, and I will no longer get in the way of your eyes." ”
"You...... You bastard! You bastard! ”
Xian Lingzhu couldn't calm down, and Yang Yi didn't want to say anything more, looking at the stream that meandered south, he only replied calmly: "I never thought I was a good person!" ”
This time, Xian Lingzhu didn't speak, and when he turned around, the silver ornaments on his body reflected the sunlight into Yang Yi's eyes, making his eyes dazzle, so that he didn't see two dripping tears.
Under the longan tree, the autumn wind gusted, and a dragonfly flew to the tip of the grass on the opposite bank with a light touch on the stream and stopped.
On the opposite construction site, the noise could be heard from afar, and everyone was busy.
Yang Yi was also very busy, he didn't stay long, and then said goodbye.
Hearing his farewell, Xian Lingzhu never looked back.
It wasn't until the sound of the horse's hooves faded away that she suddenly turned around, and the street was full of people and traffic, and finally she didn't see the bastard again, perhaps, again......
Xian Lingzhu quietly looked at the noisy street, and after a while, just about to turn around and leave, he saw a handkerchief under the trunk of the tree that Yang Yi leaned on, and two huge pearls were wrapped in the handkerchief.
This is the southern pearl produced in Hepu near Qinzhou, which is round and crystal magnificent. Since ancient times, there have been East Pearls that are not as good as West Pearls. The West Pearl is not as good as the South Pearl, within the grasp, the price is both gold and gold.
These two Nanzhu Xian Spirit Spiders are very familiar, and this is a gift that her grandfather gave to Yang Yi with all he had.
Yang Yiquan leans towards the government and the opposition, with hundreds of millions of family assets and a group of wives and concubines. Nanzhen, who is regarded as a rare treasure by the Xian family, may not be disdainful at all.
Xian Lingzhu leaned against the trunk of the tree a little weakly, and the tree fell to the surface of the water. Soon he was carried away by the stream......
Yang Yi came to the port wharf, and Cheng Jie, the envoy of Guangxi Economic Strategy, reported a lot of data to him, but Yang Yi has never been a person who only looks at paper data. Therefore, he has to walk around, there is no fixed route and predetermined destination, everything is casual.
The straight road of this section of the port has been paved, up to 30 steps wide, straight and smooth, for more than 20 horse-drawn carriages to run in parallel, even so, the straight road in front of you still seems very congested, the sand and gravel and timber required for the construction of the port are coming in a steady stream, and the warehouses, restaurants and warehouses supporting the port are also under construction. Looking around, there is a busy scene everywhere.
And the first to be built are always those green buildings, this stall is always the most dynamic, its grade can be high or low, like some corners next to the construction site. Build a few thatched houses, hang a curtain and you can open a business, and you can make a sure profit.
In this war, tens of thousands of men were killed and injured in Jiaozhi, and many women had to survive on their own, and the hot land of Qinzhou became their first choice. …,
Overall. The men are lazy, but the women are very diligent and beautiful, and half of the work on weekdays is undertaken by women.
So as long as the officials are not too good, it is not a problem for the women in Jiaozhi to be self-reliant, and only a very small number of them come to Qinzhou, and Yang Yi is too lazy to care about these.
The specific person in charge of the port project is Ma Yingfang, the governor of Qinzhou, and at the same time, the Ministry of Industry also sent officials to participate.
He was half a step behind Yang Yi, and while walking around the dock, he reported the progress of the project to Yang Yi.
"Scholars can rest assured that a total of 20,000 prisoners are currently involved in the construction of the port, and according to the current progress, the port will be basically completed by November, and according to the original design, there will be 100 berths after completion, which can accommodate 100 large and small ships to berth and unload at the same time."
Yang Yi already knew about this, and he didn't bother to listen to it anymore, he mainly wanted to see the quality of the project, and he couldn't listen to these, he could only watch them.
He changed the topic and said: "Qinzhou will be the economic and trade center of Guangxi and Annam in the future, and Ma Zhizhou, as the parent official of Qinzhou, has a long way to go!" The development of this local industry cannot be developed, and after the construction of one port and two roads, Guangxi's economy will fall to a low point, so the construction of one port and two roads will only play a role in promoting, and the key is to see you parents and officials develop the people's livelihood. Although Guangxi has many mountains and few fields, it has a special climate and rich resources, and many crops are not available in the north, such as sugarcane, lychee, pineapple, longan, mango, banana, monk fruit, pomelo, these products are scarce in the north, Ma Zhizhou can vigorously advocate and support, and in the future, it will be able to make a lot of money by shipping from Qinzhou Port to the north. ”
"This, Xia Guan has also thought about it, but the sugarcane can still be transported after the sugar is squeezed, and these Lingnan fruits mentioned by Scholar Yang are almost rotten when they are transported to the south of the Yangtze River, I'm afraid it won't work."
"Why not? Bananas, pineapples, and mangoes, you harvest them in advance, and they are just ripe when they are transported to the Central Plains, and the longan can be dried and dried, not to mention the monk fruit. The grafting technology in the Gyeonggi area is very mature, and most of the fruits I mentioned can be grafted, so if you send people to Gyeonggi to learn the grafting technology, and then come back and teach it to the local people, you can greatly improve the yield and quality. Ma Zhizhou, you can't keep staring at these rare treasures of Nanzhu, these things will only suffer the people of Zhu, and they will not play a role in promoting the livelihood of local people. Lingnan is rich in specialties, and now it is like an uncarved piece of jade, as long as Ma Zhizhou does it with his heart, this official dares to say that it is definitely easier to make political achievements in Lingnan than in these places in Jiangnan. Aside from the big reasons of being an official for one term and benefiting one party, Ma Zhizhou has political achievements, and this official is the first to ask Ma Zhizhou for merit and reward, and the court will not treat Ma Zhizhou badly! ”
The previous big truth was not important, hearing that Yang Yi was willing to repay him for his merits and ask for rewards, Ma Yingfang's heart moved, and she couldn't help but thank her again and again, and repeatedly promised that she would make some political achievements and never disappoint Yang Yi's love.
Yang Yi didn't have the intention of wooing him, he never gave up his efforts in this regard, but there is one thing, you have to be able to hold on to the wall.
What's the use of winning over those mediocre talents, whether Ma Yingfang can get into his field of vision, this has to be talked about with political achievements.
