Chapter 473: Qiang's Visible Prosperity

On the shore, the Qiang kings of all tribes are already waiting. 縤

At this moment, seeing Zhong Xuan slowly arriving with men and horses supporting the boat master, the Qiang kings of all ethnic groups also showed a happy smile and must sigh.

Their Majesty really didn't break his promise, and sure enough, he sent someone to help them!

At this moment, the ship docked, Zhong Xuan was a little more noble in his life, or a scholarly atmosphere, and his gestures were very different from Qiang Di.

On the other hand, several Qiang kings only have a bold and rough temperament, which cannot be compared at all.

"We've seen Lord Thorn!" Several people took their warriors to hug their fists, which will be the characters who govern Qiangzhou.

Everyone can't help but look forward to it!

"No need to be polite!" Zhong Miao raised his hand: "Everyone, my majesty's plan for Qiangzhou has been seen by you!" 縤

"Next, I will lead you to govern Qiangzhou and become rich, but your help is indispensable."

"We must do our best!" Everyone hugged their fists in unison.

"Na, along the way, I explored the Yizhou water system, Yizhou can only enter the county, not the Yangtze River from Yizhou to the south, and some places along the way are too narrow."

"Fortunately, this time I came by boat and fighting ship, if it is a big ship, it will not be able to enter Shu at all, I mean that this river is divided into two, one of which is for Yizhou supply!"

"Second, transfer from Qiangshui to Hanzhong, and then go straight to Hanshui, which is located in Xiangyang, which will definitely be a very prosperous place in the future."

"When the time comes, the goods from Qiangzhou want to enter the Yangtze River, it will be simpler, they can enter the Yangtze River from the Han River, and then transport them to Yangzhou and so on."

"In addition, roads have been built along the Nanyang Basin, which can extend for hundreds of miles in the Central Plains, which will be our advantage!" 縤

Zhong Xuan immediately planned what he saw and heard when he came, which is equivalent to the most direct business road in Yizhou, Hanzhong, northern Jingzhou, Nanyang, and these places.

And then if it is postponed, to the north is for the Central Plains Runan County, Yingchuan County, into the river is Yangzhou all over the place, it is definitely a very good business route, and the water transport volume is large and the freight rate is very low, so as to ensure a competitive advantage.

"There's a stabbing man!" Everyone nodded their heads with admiration,

They could see that Zhong Xuan had really bothered to come over, and planned a wave along the way.

"Okay, there is no need to say any extra words, hurry up and arrange for someone to unload all the goods on the boat, and the next three things, expand the river, repair the road, and repair the wharf."

Zhong Xuan's face was solemn and said in a deep voice.

"No, we're going to do our best!" Everyone nodded one after another, one by one with some expectations. 縤

"Lord Thorn, do you want to go to the mansion and rest first?" King Baimaqiang asked in a deep voice.

"No, since you're here, it's to hurry up and govern here, and you must hurry up, not to mention, since you belong to Chu Han, you are the people of Chu Han."

"My lord often says that all ethnic groups melt and respect Han, but he will help you live a better life as much as possible!"

Zhong Xuan explained in a deep voice.

"Okay, you unload these things first, arrange someone, and take me to see the places where the heavens and the earth can be developed, and I have brought a lot of seeds for you this time!"

"These seeds are all crops, or cash crops, and they can bring economic effects in the future." Zhong Xuan added.

"Lord Thorn, are you in such a hurry to go over and see the fields? And we're not sure where it works!" King Baima Qiang frowned, the main thing was that they hadn't gotten these things much. 縤

They Qiang people are all nomadic people, how to talk about planting, they don't understand something at all!

"Hey, fortunately, before I came, His Majesty explained how I would investigate, so you arranged for someone to take me over to have a look."

"The fields are very important, it's about where the road goes, and it has to be combined with the number of surrounding fields and the distance from your tribe, which I need to pay attention to."

Zhong Xuan said in a deep voice, revealing a bit of solemnity.

Once the road is carried out, it is difficult to change.

This first road had to ensure that it could not only drive the economic effect of the fields, but also ensure the movement between tribes.

All in all, a lot of trouble.

"Okay, let's personally take Lord Thorn Shi to inspect and inform us of the location of each tribe and so on!" 縤

King Baimaqiang took the initiative to speak.

"Hmm!" Zhong Xuan nodded, and then said to the person next to him, "Chief Engineer Wang, you come with me to see how this road should be repaired!"

"Chief Engineer Liu, you stay and see how the river should be regulated, it's up to you to worry a lot here, the construction materials and other things are already being transported!"

Before Zhong Miao left, he also made a special explanation.

"Well, don't worry!" Several chief engineers who led the team nodded one after another.

One by one, they also swore that this matter was on them.

Immediately, the king of Baima Qiang took Zhong Xuan to gallop between the various tribes and grasslands. 縤

As for the remaining Qiang kings, they carried all kinds of crop seeds, farm tools, and all kinds of sand, gravel and cement to the shore one by one.

"Work hard, next, it's all for our Qiang people, oh no, for the future of our Chu and Han, you can dig hard, you can work hard!"

"One person is responsible for a section, strive to dig this river for me before the cold winter, and this pier here, strive to widen and expand it as soon as possible!"

"In the future, this will be our trading center, our cattle and sheep, and all our kinds of things will be transported from here, all of them will work hard!"

The king of Qiang was very arrogant at the moment, and boldly began to arrange people to work,

Someone is responsible for digging, someone is responsible for lifting, all in all, a whole river shoreline, with the arrival of equipment, all throw up their sleeves and start drying.

"Come on, you can get money for your work, not only for the entire Qiang Prefecture, thirty wen a day, this money can be exchanged for the materials you want in various places in the future, including the cooked rice you eat first!" 縤

"In addition, don't give me laziness, lazy, I see that I must be severely punished, let you know the price of laziness, this is for the entire Qiang Prefecture, Your Majesty does not like to waste manpower and material resources to develop, don't give me a bad thing!"

The king of Qiang kept shouting, with a bit of warning.

————

In the second year of Kaiyuan, east, mid-November.

The Qiang people mobilized 80,000 people and spent a month to widen the river by 50 meters, dozens of miles, which is already very impressive.

This project is absolutely huge!

When I go to Hanzhong, I circle about hundreds of miles of rivers, but some of the rivers are wide enough, and what probably needs to be improved is not enough. 縤

Not enough places for more than a hundred miles,

In addition to the river, the wharf here has also been repaired, and two wharves have been built, a deep-water wharf is docked to load and unload goods.

The other is the diving dock, which is mainly docked by ordinary fighting ships and boats, but this pier has changed from a small puddle to a large puddle more than ten times larger than the original.

The very large kind, which is enough to park hundreds of ships to dock and load goods back and forth, is mainly explained by the construction team, after all, this is the only waterway connecting here, and it must be used in the future.

In addition to the wharf, the road has also begun to be built, but the amount of work on the road is very huge, even if all kinds of construction materials are transported every day, it is a very large project, and this is not urgent.

At present, the river has almost met the vast majority of boat traffic, of course, no matter how big the place is, it is not nothing, but it needs to be slowly widened later, which is enough at present, and some places may be slightly crowded.

But as the real cold winter begins, even if these warriors resist the cold, they can't continue to work, and they have begun to avoid the cold wave of winter. 縤

As for Zhong Xuan, while communicating with the caravan after the beginning of spring, he was thinking about the cultivation of cash crops in Qiangzhou, and in the spring of next year, cash crops must be put into the ground, otherwise it will be too late!

First ensure that these cash crops can be cultivated normally, so that Zhong Xuan can further improve Qiangzhou, and he has already contacted the Chamber of Commerce in the spring of next year.

When the time comes, the Chamber of Commerce will ship

Food, they mainly provide cattle and sheep, at home in the cold winter, the sheep we eat, and the rest of the wool Zhong Xuan also let people teach them how to weave all kinds of woolen sweaters.

Although all kinds of mink fur in the grassland are good, if the woolen sweater is done well, it is definitely a good trial product.

Woolen sweaters are mainly washed, and then processed like wool, and then used these things to weave various clothes, which is similar to sweaters in later generations.

In this way, these women, children and elderly people can also have some sources of income, so that they will not be easily abandoned.

At the moment, at the door of the tent. 縤

Zhong Xuan looked at the heavy snow, and his mood was also anxious, this place in Qiangzhou is really not a good place, the cold and heat are simply amazing.

I just hope that next year will be better, more grain stockpiled, so that these nomads know the benefits of trade, instead of just eating mutton and cheese, which is too backward.

Zhong Xuan was exhausted, for more than a month, he had experienced a backward gap, he now has a lot of beard, and the whole person is old.

No wonder the nomads are not very old.

This climate, this living environment, this kind of medical facilities, oh no, this can't be called medical facilities.

If you have soldiers, you will carry them yourself, and if you can't resist them, you will be cold, and occasionally there may be some veterinarians who barely know some herbs for trauma.

That's it, many people don't know. 縤

There is not much culture, and there is not much security, it is almost like drinking blood, which is simply not what a strong nation should have.

It can only be said that his arrival may change Qiangzhou, or His Majesty's decision may change Qiangzhou,

Of course, Chu Feng's perspective is not only to change Qiangzhou, but also to have better living conditions for the people in the mainland.

For example, sweet and delicious watermelon, crispy pears, such as fragrant beef and mutton, of course, cattle can be used to plough the land.

Now Chu Han has already passed the first stage, hunger.

After getting through hunger, the next thing to face is the improvement of life, and the improvement of life is mainly the clothes you wear.

What to eat, in the past, the people of Chu and Han could only eat thin porridge, and even some of them could not eat thin porridge, but now the worst can drink thick porridge, and the better ones can eat corn and rice directly

No matter how wealthy they are, they have already begun to buy vegetables in the market, eat all kinds of vegetarian dishes, fruits and so on, which is already entering the wealth.

Like the richest banks of the Huai River, the people's refusal to eat corn is already a symbol of backwardness, and even boils down to lazy people.

Because now the two sides of the Huai River have the best policies and the most work, and they go out to work for a day, and they also have forty or fifty wages.

These wages are enough to feed a family casually, and you can even cut some fatty pork to taste at home.

You know, this kind of fatty pork people didn't dare to look at it in previous years, and the most vegetables are wild vegetables that grow in the field.

Nowadays, not to mention that there is meat and vegetables every day, at least you can make a small piece to satisfy your cravings every three or five days.

And the price of pork is not too expensive, it is four times more expensive than the price of corn, more than ten dollars a catty, and you can get three catties a day of work! 縤

The point is that they are now exempted from a lot of taxes, and the money is equivalent to being given to them, which completely relieves them of the pressure.

Now, after all, there is no need to be a tenant farmer,

When the tenant farmer pays almost half of the tax to the landlord, then the remaining rice has to be used for nearly 20% of the tax.

To put it bluntly, they used to have a harvest of 0.3, but now they have a harvest of 1.0. Here the gap is already more than threefold.

The key is that there used to be hard labor, that is, thirty or forty days, and these days there is no food, and labor is free, but now he is completely in charge of food, and he is also paid.

Here it can be pulled away and nearly doubled,

In addition, there are so many workers recruited now, as long as you are not a lazy person, you can pull one or two times more if you find a job when you are slack

And the daughter-in-law or the elderly of the family do not need to provide cloth to the state, they can weave cloth and do some odd work, and they can double it.

Now, they are more alive than they were back then

At the very least, life can be eight times worse.

The eight-fold gap, which is something that many people dare not think of, is simply to let the people experience what it means to be rich,

What does it mean to be alive like a person!

Of course, these are the Jianghuai boundaries.

But in other realms, now the poor ones are exempted from all kinds of taxes and fees, and the fields can also have the initial four times the conditions, and they are definitely grateful to Chu Feng.

There are five or six times better realms, and that feeling is indescribable. 縤

It can only be said that the current Chu Han is already the first step in hiding wealth from the people, and the current Chu and Han, no one dares to shake it.

Because tens of millions of people in Chu and Han were the first to be unwilling, they supported Chu Feng the most, and the whole world felt that Chu Feng was not good, and they could work hard for it.

This kind of thing doesn't happen once or twice.

Some people said that Chu Feng was not very good, not only the people in the village beat and scolded them wildly, but his parents beat them up when they went home.

Some women's mouths are broken, just because of this, no one in Shili Baxiang is willing to marry this kind of woman, and they are crazy to complain about Shili Baxiang.

Chu Feng's kindness has reached a peak.

In the eyes of the people, they have finally enjoyed the kind of life that is said in the history books, which makes them look forward to the future even more. 縤

As for their children, they can even go to school, feel the school, and learn knowledge, all of which make the people of Chu and Han unable to express their feelings.

It can only be said that Chu Han is not only Chu Feng's Chu Han, but also Chu Han who they want to support together!
