Chapter 103 The Development of Quanzhou
The place where Li Mu and Wei Dayong met was not arranged in the camp, but on the Muhai. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
At this time, the Muhai, under the arrangement of twenty cyborgs, was moving goods to the shore one after another.
Although there are many porters, under the arrangement of twenty cyborgs, coupled with the cooperation of the servants in the Viscount's Mansion, the entire transportation site reflects a scene of orderly modern industrial processes.
When observing the Kun boat from a distance, Wei Dayong only felt that the ship was very large, and when he visited the viscount whom he had never met, he exchanged a few words of greeting.
was invited by Li Mu, this Kun ship named Muhai.
Wei Dayong knew how huge this Kun ship made of steel was, and how small it seemed when it was there.
I saw huge colored iron boxes, slowly lifted under an unknown tool, and then slowly placed in a place suitable for carrying the goods inside.
Wei Dayong didn't understand what kind of tool this could lift such a heavy thing.
When he arrived at the ship's Wei Dayong, he found that this huge steel ship was not only made of steel used in the hull, but almost everything on the hull was made of steel.
For a parent official in charge of a locality, he can observe the people's feelings, understand the people's opinions, and understand the living conditions of the people under his rule.
It's something that he must know about the history of assassination, not to mention that Wei Dayong is not the kind of incompetent official who doesn't care about the people's feelings.
Wei Dayong not only understands the specific situation in Quanzhou, but also knows a little about some of the basic conditions of Datang.
This is to prepare for the preparation of the local officials who can answer when they are asked if they have any opinions on the administration of the imperial court when they are going to the official examination.
As a magistrate, you must know more about grain, salt and iron.
Especially for the output of Datang Iron and Steel, Wei Dayong has a good understanding, and in his cognition, it is impossible for Datang to build such a steel giant ship with its annual steel output.
Not to mention a viscount.
The steel giant ship under his feet, Wei Da estimated it in his heart, and it was impossible to build this giant ship without a million catties of stainless steel and iron.
Li Mu didn't know that the Quanzhou Thorn Shi Wei around him was very useful, and he would have so much thought in his heart, even if he knew, he would only laugh at it.
Some things, not to say, are much better than to say.
The two chatted, and then came to the side of the ship on the side of the Muhai, standing on the side of the boat, Wei Dayong couldn't help but look down at the sea below the hull.
Suddenly, a wave of dizziness hit, Wei Dayong almost couldn't stand steadily, but fortunately, the accompanying officials around him stepped forward to help him, so as not to disgrace Wei Dayong.
"Envoy, but seasick?" Li Mu asked with concern.
He knew that some people who were seasick might feel dizzy as long as they saw the boat, and some would only have a sense of dizziness when they got on the boat.
"It's okay, thank you Viscount for your concern." Wei Dayong didn't expect that when he looked down just now, he actually felt dizzy, but fortunately, a subordinate helped him, otherwise he would be embarrassed today.
"It's okay, I don't know what the envoy thinks about my Muhai?" Seeing that Wei Dayong was just momentarily dizzy, not seasick, Li Mu led the topic to the Muhai.
"It's very big, this iron ship of the Muhai is something that this envoy has never seen before." Wei Da said honestly.
Li Mu said secretly, if you have seen it, it will be over.
But he continued: "That envoy, have you ever thought about working for the well-being of the people of Quanzhou?" β
"Oh?" Hearing Li Mu's words, Wei Dayong was obviously stunned, it stands to reason that the matter of seeking the well-being of the local people is a matter of the duty of the local parents, and there is no need for a nobleman to say it.
What's more, a noble said this, especially to a magistrate, this is a taboo, Wei Da knew it in his heart, but when he saw everything in front of him, and then looked at the steel ship under his feet, he still wanted to hear what the viscount in front of him had to say.
"I don't know what the lord has to say?" Wei Da asked in a modest tone.
Although what Li Mu said was a bit taboo, from the King of Jin, the King of Rencheng, and the teacher, it was impossible for Wei Dayong to reprimand the other party for this.
What's more, Wei Dayong really wants to hear what the noble from Chang'an in front of him has.
In addition, Wei Dayong is also an official who is dedicated to the people, and he doesn't like to drill camps, otherwise, he would not have served in Quanzhou, and he could have taken the road and went to serve in the Central Plains.
As an official in Wei Da's heart, it is necessary to benefit the people, which is what he thinks in his heart.
Although what Li Mu said was a little abrupt, Wei Dayong didn't care, as long as it was for the good of Quanzhou.
He also thought about how to benefit the people of Quanzhou, but Quanzhou was too poor.
"For a place, what is about the people is nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation, these four things, and these four things are inseparable from the word money."
"As long as the four things are solved, or in other words, the taxes of Quanzhou Mansion go up, so that Jun will naturally be able to seek more benefits for the people of Quanzhou."
Well, Li Mu himself knew that what he said was all clichΓ©s, but in fact, he didn't say anything in it.
No matter how honest and honest an official is, as long as he enters the officialdom, he will have some skills to rip off, and Wei Dayong is no exception, and he understands the meaning of Li Mu's words.
asked quietly: "I wonder if the lord has a way to increase the tax in Quanzhou?" β
"Since the envoy asked, it is not easy for this lord to hide." Li Mu didn't have the casual look just now, and said with a straight face.
Hearing Li Mu's words, Wei Da twitched the corners of his mouth obviously, but he still put on a deferential look.
"There are two natural conditions in Quanzhou, and these two natural conditions are related to this sea." Li Mu pointed in front of him, and the endless sea stretched out his finger and continued.
"Quanzhou can increase taxes from the two, the first shipping, Quanzhou can continue the excellent natural port, vigorously develop shipping, so that you know, the Silk Road things, sold to the Tang Dynasty or Fanbang, are very valuable, and Quanzhou can develop the maritime Silk Road,....γ"
"Quanzhou can set up a customs department to extract a certain amount of taxes from the merchant ships passing by the Maritime Silk Road."
Li Mu has checked the information, the Maritime Silk Road was formed in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and now it is only the early years of the Tang Dynasty, and there is a maritime Silk Road in time, which is also a small-scale trade.
Quanzhou's development of the Maritime Silk Road is very interesting, and Li Mu can also get what he wants through this Maritime Silk Road.
If the Maritime Silk Road develops, the wealth that Li Mu has absorbed from the Tang Dynasty will double, and the source of wealth will not only be limited to the Tang Dynasty, but will become a place where ships can sail.
After listening to Li Mu's Maritime Silk Road, Wei Dayong thought for a while and raised his head and asked: "This is a good way, but I don't have the ability to build sea ships in Quanzhou." β
"As long as you can find a large number of craftsmen, I will provide the drawing technology." Li Mu said with a smile, he waited for Wei Dayong to say this, among the goods he brought to Datang from modern times, among the miscellaneous items, there were drawings of the production of wooden sea ships.
Hearing Li Mu say this, Wei Dayong had a feeling of falling into the pit, but for the sake of Quanzhou, he wouldn't care about this, so he then asked, "What is the second one?" β
