"Lord Liu, the price of salt in this domain is a little. (The fastest update speed is in Aishang Novel Network biquge.info) "Fifteen, it is the day of the market, Zheng Kezang, who is inspecting Dongning, will naturally not let go of this opportunity to observe Taiwan's basic economy at close range, no, early in the morning with his entourage to the countryside full of chicken and pig manure. "How do people buy on weekdays?"

"Since Mr. Chen made refined salt by the Tong'an salt method, the price of salt in Taiwan has dropped to 221 stones." Liu Chongxi replied that because Taiwan's mineral deposits are not abundant and very little developed, it can only rely on the import of copper ingots from Japan, so it has caused the phenomenon of copper and silver being cheap, and one or two feet can usually only be exchanged for huàn 800 yuan, so that a pound of salt is only 16 wen, which is not too expensive. "Except for market days, on weekdays, you can only buy them in the government-run salt shops in the cities of various states and prefectures."

Zheng Kezhang didn't say anything after hearing this, but sent the guards to buy a pound of salt, and when the salt arrived, Zheng Kezhang reached out and grabbed a handful and put it in front of him to look carefully.

Liu Chongxi has been watching Zheng Kezang's movements, and when he saw him nodding with satisfaction, he put his mind at ease: "The grandson is relieved, the salt in the officials is piled up like a mountain, and there is no way to sell it, so I will not deliberately adulterate it with shoddy goods, so that the common people will suffer." ”

"It's for the best." Zheng Kezhang just said a word, and suddenly remembered something. "You mean that there is nowhere to sell the salt in the officials?" Liu Chongxi reconfirmed with some suspicion, but Zheng Kezhang showed a look of regret because of this. "Knowing this, Yu arranged to dump it on Qionglei." But now it's too late to regret it, and Zheng Kezhang is trying to make amends. "Someone comes, immediately go back to Anping to ask to see the chief envoy Chen, ask him to transfer 5,000 stone salt to the boy scout sailor camp, and then tell Sù Ying Tainong, let him go to Qiongzhou with all his might."

"Shisun, never!" Liu Chongxi was shocked and immediately spoke out to stop him. "If it was before, it would be fine, but the king has appointed Chen Tingzhang as the salt envoy of Qiongzhou, if salt is imported from Dongning into Qiongzhou, wouldn't it be a tiger's mouth? If Lord Chen sues the king, I'm afraid the grandson will too."

"Do you want to be reprimanded by your father?" Zheng Kezang's face was gloomy. "Qiong Lei's overall situation has been corrupted by them, how many of them still have the face to complain to their father!" Perhaps because he felt that Liu Chongxi was not Chen Qing, Zheng Xingying, Chen Tingzhang, Feng Xihan and other Qiongzhou officials, and should not be angry at him, Zheng Kezang's tone automatically eased. "The ship is sinking, don't catch it at this time, when will it be!"

Liu Chongxi only fulfilled the obligation of persuasion, but Zheng Kezhang didn't listen, and he was helpless, but he made up his mind to send someone to Chen Yonghua later, so that the contradiction would be handed over, and in the end, Zhu Jin couldn't hit his ass even if he wanted to hit the board.

Zheng Kezang didn't know Liu Chongxi's little abacus, and still looked around in the market: "Lord Liu, why are there all those who sell chickens, ducks, poultry and eggs, there are no butcher shops, and there are also wood, rattan, and bamboo tools, where are the blacksmith shops and cloth and satin villages?" ”

"Shisun, the farmer, the vegetables are all in the ground, you can pick and eat at any time, chickens and ducks are also easy to live things do not need to take care of more, but pigs eat a lot is not easy to raise, in addition to large households, how dare ordinary people raise more, raise a New Year's Festival or have a happy event and then eat it, the bazaar naturally does not see the butcher shop." Liu Chongxi explained. "As for the blacksmith shop and the cloth and satin village, they are all in the salt shop, and Dongning lacks iron and cloth, so these are all official operations, unless the farm tools are completely broken, the people will not buy new ones, at most they will set up a stove at home and repair it themselves."

"No butcher?" Zheng Kezhang looked back at one of the guards beside him. "The sailor battalion reports how to dispose of the pickled kun meat?"

"Feed the Boy Scout Camp and the Boy Scout Battalion." The guard responded. "But I can't eat it all, and it can be said that the stacks in the warehouse are like small mountains, and there are not enough barrels for storage."

"Confused!" Zheng Kezhang didn't know whether he was talking about himself or talking about the people in the sailor camp, a gray whale is at least equivalent to a dozen cows, and there are only a few people in the boy boy camp and the boy scouts, including Kunlun Biao, even if they eat it every day, they can't eat it all, rather than resting there to feed the mice, it is better to sell it at a low price in Taiwan. "Let them all sell at once, no!" Speaking of this, Zheng Kezhang remembered that the boy boy camp did not have a commercial system, and naturally there was not enough manpower to carry out this order. "Lord Liu, the salt shop belongs to the household department, so how about exchanging the salt with pickled kun meat."

This is a win-win solution, but Liu Chongxi blinked: "Shisun, what is this pickled kun meat, and how should it be discounted?" ”

"Let's be corned beef." Zheng Kezhang only then thought that in fact, compared with the people, Dongning Baiguan is a larger consumer group, but the number of whales in the ocean in this era is not comparable to the more than 10,000 cultivated cattle owned by Taiwan, and it is more pure and worthless for him. "Wait a minute, first give each of the hundred officials of this domain ten catties to try it, as for the price, the scouts and the household can be settled at half of the current meat price." This matter was decided like this, and Liu Chongxi was still a little reluctant, but I believe that it didn't take long for him to find out that he had actually earned it. "By the way, is the people's surplus grain purchased?"

Liu Chongxi chuckled, but soon made his actions a little frivolous and rude, so his face turned grim: "Of course you have to buy it, otherwise how can the Changping positions of the state capitals and the Taifu warehouses of the main domain be filled, but it is not yet the assembly of the warehouse, and the grandson naturally can't see the excitement of the rice." ”

"That's right!" Zheng Kezhang didn't say anything, and continued to wander in the small bazaar, in fact, there are very few things in the bazaar, judging from the current situation in Dongning, in fact, it has fallen back from the budding capitalism at the end of the Ming Dynasty to a self-sufficient small peasant society, which can't help but make Zheng Kezhang sigh a little, China is very innocent, every time it touches the threshold, there are force majeure external factors to knock it back. "Why can't I see a medical hall and pharmacy in the bazaar, and there is not even a single Langzhong in Youfang, what if there is a headache and brain fever?"

"There are medical halls and pharmacies in all state capitals and counties," Liu Chongxi explained helplessly. "The better doctors of this domain are in the army, but the local area is insufficient, but fortunately, Dongning is not big, and it is only half a day for the local miles to and from the state city, if there is no serious disease, it should be able to afford it, as for the old Tunzhuang, it originally belonged to the towns, and there are doctors in each town to take care of it, but Xintun is remote and there is no convenience of the old Tunzhuang, I am afraid that there are some difficulties."

Zheng Kezhang was anxious when he heard this, he finally imported tens of thousands of immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong, in case he lost everything because of the problem of water and soil, wouldn't he steal chickens and rice, but he also understood that the matter had come to this point, and he couldn't be in a hurry, so he could only grasp the key point and ask: "Have you sued the immigrants from Shitai, what should you do if you encounter severe illness in cold and heat?" ”

Since the previous dynasties were equally concerned about reclamation and population growth, the household department responsible for the highest supervision in business naturally would not fail to take Zheng Kezang's explanation to heart, but Liu Chongxi thought that Zheng Kezang's inquiry at the moment was a manifestation of concern and chaos, you must know that the people in Taiwan recently are all Fujian and Guangdong people, and even Qiongzhou refugees who are more hot than Taiwan, so it is not physically impossible to adapt to Taiwan's environment, of course, he will not get carried away because Zheng Kezang is unstable:" He has been told to drink boiled water, not raw water, and to drink stinky artemisia decoction juice when he has cold and heat. ”

"Fujian and Guangdong have been developed as early as the pre-Qin period, and there are now more than 100,000 households in Qiongzhou." Zheng Kezhang breathed a sigh of relief. "This is by no means comparable to the current miasma in Taiwan, and it is much better to be able to take precautions than to make up for the loss in the future!"

Liu Chong cherished it, and hurriedly said yes, Zheng Kezhang didn't say much, and then turned back and prepared to leave, walking Zheng Kezhang suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed: "Is it a tiling club over there?" ”

Although Liu Chongxi usually served in Anping City, he had never killed a pig and had seen a pig run, so he immediately confirmed, so Zheng Kezhang asked as he walked: "In the previous market days, did Pingpu Society come more?" ”

This Liu Chongxi didn't know, he was supportive, and Zheng Kezhang didn't care. When the group walked to Shefan's stall, Zheng Kezhang took a closer look, and there was nothing on the ground that could only be praised except for a few broken deerskins.

Zheng Kezhang probed the Pingpu Society in front of him: "I'm afraid the deer is almost killed now, right?" ”

"Back to this son, there are indeed fewer deer than before, but they can still be hit." This Hokkien from Pingpu is very fluent in dialect, and obviously has a deep contact with the Han people. "But maybe one day it will be gone."

"Then the deer are all gone, so what should I do? Can farming alone feed the whole family? ”

"Learn farming from you Han people, the output in the field is much higher than before, unlike before, you can't live without hunting." Pingpu Fan elaborated in a calm tone. "And even if you don't hunt, you can still do business with the mountain society in the mountains." As he spoke, the man pulled out a small bag from his bosom. "Some of the gold sand here is traded from the mountains, do you want to buy some?"

Zheng Kezhang took the bag and poured the gold sand into the palm of his hand, the amount of gold sand is not much, there are only a dozen grains in total, Zheng Kezhang has the heart to fulfill him, so he asked: "How to sell?" Make an offer. ”

"Five of these bags of salt." Unexpectedly, the price of Pingpu is not very high, and Zheng Kezang's eyes can see that these gold sand far exceed the price of two catties of salt.

"Give it to him!" Zheng Kezhang ordered, the guard took out a handful of broken silver and copper coins from his arms and handed them over, Pingpu counted them, and returned the extra part, Zheng Kezhang thought about letting him stay, and then took the equivalent deer skin. "Everyone in the world says that Taiwan's deer skin is the best for armor, but there are kun skins and shark skins on this side, which may not be worse than this deer skin."

"That's what Shisun said." Liu Chongxi echoed. "It's just that Taiwan doesn't have a good alkali for tanning, so it can't make good leather armor."

"So, everything has to be imported." was mentioned by Liu Chongxi, Zheng Kezhang couldn't help but say with some distress. "It's all money."
