Ye Qing and Qian Junbao only took Huo Zimeng out this time.

"Where?" Huo Zimeng looked at the sky, the sun was very bright, and it would be hot after a while.

"Mawei Harbor."

A quarter of an hour later, Ye Qing and his wife got into the carriage, and Huo Zimeng rode a horse and followed.

It's been almost half an hour, and before he arrives, Ye Qing curiously lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, and found that the Jianzhou city was still quite large, and he hadn't left the city yet.

It seemed to be a little bigger than she knew.

"How many people are there in this Jianzhou City?" Ye Qing asked.

Qian Junbao lowered his head and pondered: "The household is one hundred thousand nine hundred, and the mouth is five hundred and fifty thousand." โ€

"There are 500,000 people!" Ye Qing was very surprised, in this era, there are 500,000 people in a city, it is really a giant city.

"Well, Jianzhou City is larger than Yuezhou West Lake City, the population is more than Yuezhou, twenty-one years ago there was a person named Chen Zhenlong from Nanyue to bring sweet potato seedlings to Jianzhou, and later His Majesty popularized this sweet potato planting. The problem of food and clothing for many people has been solved, so the population of Jianzhou has also doubled. โ€

Ye Qing pondered for a while and said: "With such a large population, if you open a business house here, the effect is much better than in Chong'an, but unfortunately it is also a little far away from our Chongyang." If you move here, I don't know if you can do it. โ€

"It's convenient to have a big ship, if you really like it here, let's come back in three or five years?" Qian Junbao looked at Ye Qing and said, he didn't want Ye Qing to make so much money.

At present, their property is actually enough for them to live a carefree life for a lifetime, not to mention the status of the two guys of Fifth Mo Che and Mo Ce, and the current saint is an eternal emperor.

In recent years, there have not been too many wars in the country, and the people can still live in peace, and they will not lack money to live in a short time.

But he won't object to what Ye Qing wants to do now, give her three or five years to toss her money-making plan, and she will be at home with peace of mind when she has a doll in the future.

The carriage gurgled and jolted.

Everyone knows that Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, in fact, Min Road is more difficult than Shu Road.

Jianzhou's land transportation is very inconvenient, and the mountainous Fujian region is sparsely populated, and its development is quite slow. Three hundred years ago, the total population of Jianzhou and Jin'an counties in the early years of Taikang was only about 8,600 households.

Other capitals and counties generally have populations ranging from 20,000 to 30,000 households.

Until a hundred years ago, with the northern immigrants to the south, there was the so-called "clothes to the south", "eight surnames into Fujian", that is, the surnames Lin, Huang, Chen, Zheng, Zhan, Qiu, He, and Hu who belonged to the Central Plains clan moved to Jianzhou to avoid disasters.

So far, the surnames Chen and Lin account for nearly one-third of the population among the people of Jianzhou, and it is even more considerable if Zheng and Huang are added.

Therefore, Jianzhou has a saying that "most of Chen Lin is full of streets".

And the dialect of Jianzhou is really difficult to understand, and outsiders are basically confused when they come.

However, the dialect of Jianzhou is spread overseas, and several small countries around it speak Jianzhou dialect, so it has become much more convenient for Jianzhou's foreign trade, and there are hundreds of seaport trading firms here.

In Daewoo, the Jianzhou people, who were good at navigation, moved north along the coastline and settled on the Jiaodong Peninsula, and some of them went to Liaodong with the wave of breaking through the Guandong.

The King of Min in the previous dynasty was even more active in the development of agricultural production, ordering soldiers to cultivate fields, summoning homeless people to farm, reclaiming beaches, and building water conservancy, so they often "had a full year".

In particular, the ceramics, smelting, and silk weaving industries, which are used for foreign trade, have developed to a great extent.

The Empress of Daewoo, the founding of the country, attached great importance to education, not only allowing women to enroll, but also holding exams every autumn, which is called "Autumn Hall".

At that time, the number of female students in various places south of Daewoo increased by as much as 80,000.

Jianzhou was captured by King Qian Liuwang and then expanded the new city, he also attached great importance to overseas transportation and trade, so that people in the city "open Qu, build cloud houses", in order to "attract the sea barbarian merchants"; All kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes were eliminated, and free trade was allowed.

For a time, the city of Jianzhou was full of goods and prosperous commerce, known as "ten thousand cloud houses, several miles of pheasants".

It can be said that Jianzhou is still quite prosperous, and the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road is also Jianzhou.

As soon as the Tanabata Festival passes, the streets are not so lively, and today is a normal and calm day.

After arriving at Mawei Port, what caught Ye Qing's eyes was a huge iron anchor thrown into the river from the bow, and the thick iron chain tied the bow to the anchorage by the sea, and a building ship with a carrying capacity of hundreds of tons was fixed by this anchor chain.

In the morning, the tide was high, and the water of the East China Sea was pouring into Mawei Port in waves, Ye Qing looked at the spectacular scene in front of him and sighed.

When I first came here, I had nothing, but now I think about it carefully, whether it is food, clothing, or use, she has no shortage of everything, it seems that life has changed for the better?

If she hadn't met Qian Junbao, maybe she would have worked hard to make money and buy a big boat to go to sea.

The world was so big, she wanted to see everywhere.

The group got out of the carriage, and Zhao Shaoyou was just about to take them to Wantong Commercial Bank to have a look, but they were blocked by a few people in front of them.

"Mother, how are you, mother...... Woo woo woo ......" came the howl of a little girl. It turned out that someone had passed out.

Qian Junbao and Ye Qing glanced at each other, Ye Qing shrugged his shoulders and walked over.

These days, she has encountered many of these situations, and she has naturally formed a conditioned reflex, and it seems that she is more like a doctor than Qian Junbao.

"I'll show her." Ye Qing walked over and bowed his head to the crying girl.

"You are?"

"She's a doctor." Bai Lichu also said softly to the girl.

After a while, Ye Qing let go of the woman's wrist and lowered her head in contemplation.

"How?" A middle-aged bearded man standing next to him saw Ye Qing's heavy face, and finally couldn't help but ask.

He was the woman's own brother.

Ye Qing rubbed the corners of his eyes and pursed his lips before asking, "Heart disease, send it to the hospital." โ€

They came out without a medical kit and could not help the woman.

"Thank you, girl." The middle-aged bearded man thought for a moment, and walked towards the nearby medical center with his sister on his back.

This was just a small episode, Ye Qing and his party were delayed by this matter, so they were in no mood to continue to look at the scenery of the harbor, and walked straight towards Zhao Jiawan Tongshang.

The commercial bank opened by Zhao Shaoyou's family is really one of the best in Jianzhou, and this shop alone covers an area of two acres, and there are three acres of warehouses behind.

They also sell a wide range of goods, from all kinds of daily groceries to fresh seafood, seeds and flowers, as well as common cattle, horses, livestock and all kinds of animals shipped from overseas.

"Brother Qian, Mrs. Qian, what do you want to buy, just look at it, and decide after reading it." Zhao Shaoyou waved his hand and said with a little pride.

Ye Qing nodded, and looked at the seeds and flowers first, if there were any rare varieties that could be exchanged for space gold coins, she would buy them first.
