Bang~

The jade seal of the country is stamped in the lower left corner of the "Loan Contract to Xujiazhuang".

Emperor Zhu Youzhen's name was also signed.

The loan contract takes effect immediately!

And 2.3 million silver dollars (loan + salt tax).

There is also 8,000 stone of superb snow salt.

From tonight onwards, in the name of purchasing firewood from the Salary Division, it will be secretly transported into the emperor's interior, and those who dare to leak the news will be killed!

That's right.

From the moment the military information about the siege of Dalinghe City outside the gate reached Chongzhen's ears, he had no other choice.

I can only sign a loan contract with the representative of Xu Jiazhuang immediately, and I can't wait for the ministers.

Because the silver and snow salt of Xujiazhuang have already been transported to the capital in advance, as long as the contract is signed, the silver and snow salt will be in hand immediately, which is really a lot.

And what about the civil and military officials? Still thinking about how to fight the mouth cannon, I can't see a tael of silver, and there is no corresponding fundraising action, and the idea is to first try to get the emperor to agree to eradicate Xujiazhuang, and then raise money to recruit soldiers and horses, and after destroying Xujiazhuang, and then take out some of the money from the seizure to send the emperor, wishful thinking is very loud.

The question is, does Da Ming have that time to wait?

Will the army of Jiannu outside the gate give Daming enough time?

At least Zhu Youzhen can't wait, whoever gives the silver first will sign it first, even if the silver taken out by Xu Jiazhuang is slightly less, but the key is that it can arrive immediately, which is much stronger than the painted cakes given by the ministers.

In the silver vault.

Open the box with a mouthful.

Stroking the silver dollars that were new, with carved edges, smooth and shiny, and could make a crisp sound when they blew on the edge, Chongzhen, who had not touched money for more than half a year, was deeply intoxicated for a long time, and his nose shook and sucked hard, the smell of money made him very addicted, and he squinted and didn't want to wake up for a while.

God is pitiful, as the emperor, he really has no problem with greed for money, and he is wholeheartedly for this Daming, but his inner marissance has been empty for a long time and can run mice, and most of the time throughout the year, he can't even touch the silver, and the poor make people cry.

This time, there is another large amount of money in the warehouse, and he has no other requests at the moment, he only hopes that this batch of money will take a little longer, and it can last longer, and it will not be spent again or twice, and it must be spent on the blade.

"Mizhi, the 300,000 silver dollars in it, you can take someone to take it away immediately, and I will give you the start-up capital needed for your royal farm plan."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The side of the secret of the hand is deep, with this silver tael, you can immediately find Xujiazhuang to purchase a large number of equipment and materials, such as steel farm tools, pumps, improved seeds, pesticides, etc., do not have to buy everything, on the basis of Xujiazhuang greatly simplified, each royal farm costs 30,000 taels, barely enough, the first batch of ten royal farms, next year will be able to achieve certain results.

"Your Majesty, this loan is not easy to come by, don't let the ministers of the DPRK and China know, according to the intelligence investigation of Xu Jiazhuang, most of the ministers of the DPRK and China are corrupt, and the loan to Your Majesty last year, after being taken away by those ministers, most of them went into their private pockets, and they rarely use it, and the money to them is wasted, it is best not to let them handle it, otherwise it is useless to borrow more silver."

Fang Mizhi, who served as the head of the imperial farm, did not forget to remind the emperor before leaving the palace and preparing to go to the countryside to implement his royal farm plan.

"I know, this time, I would rather send the eunuchs out and pay according to the roll call one by one, rather than give the courtiers a chance to handle the money."

Zhu Youzhen said viciously, through the exchange and discussion with Fang Yizhi during this time, he has a very good understanding of the situation at the grassroots level of the Ming Dynasty, and the corruption of the civil and military officials in the court made him feel even more shocked, and he has moved to kill countless times, and it is impossible to be as naïve and ignorant as before.

All in all, Fang Yizhi's assistance during this period of time not only broadened Chongzhen's horizons, but also learned a lot of folk sufferings and the real situation of all strata of the Ming Dynasty, and grew more than a little bit or two, and there were reborn changes.

He is no longer the Chongzhen he once was.

It's just that Fang Yizhi is leaving, and he is going to the countryside to help him rectify the Huangzhuang, which is related to the success or failure of a series of follow-up plans, and he can't keep him by his side for a long time to provide advice and good strategies.

can only send each other all the way for thirty miles, holding Fang Yizhi's hand tightly, and expressing reluctance many times.

Fang Yizhi was so moved that he secretly swore that he must repay His Majesty well, live up to Jun's grace, and do a good job.

It's just the second day after Fang Yizhi left.

The cabinet scholars and the ministers of the three provinces and six ministries jointly entered the palace for an audience, saying that there were important matters to discuss and how to deal with the war outside the border, and Zhu Youzhen agreed to meet them.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, I learned that the more than two million silver dollars sent by Xu Jiazhuang have been sent to His Majesty's inner circle overnight, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

The first words of the cabinet minister Wu Zongda were like a thunderbolt in the sky, exploding in Chongzhen's brain.

The endless bombardment is on again.

……

August 1.

Rugao County, Harbor City.

Some time ago, Xu Yuan moved his permanent residence from Xujiazhuang to the side of Harbour City, and there were more than a dozen high-level Xujiazhuang executives who moved with him.

On the one hand, the reason for this is that the planning area of the harbour city is larger, and the various types of infrastructure are more complete, and the materials that need to be transported from the modern society are the most; Secondly, Xujiazhuang's development strategy should focus on the sea in the future, although the inland collective estates are equally important, but the ocean represents a broader development stage, and it is very necessary to transfer the management core to the harbor city.

And these days, one of the things that Xu Yuan attaches the most importance to is that he spent 200 million yuan to find twenty 250-ton electric fishing boats customized from the shipyard in modern society, which he has transferred to Harbour City, and then arranged a large number of fishermen and fishermen to be responsible for the operation and use of these fishing boats.

Xu Yuan, who didn't have seasickness, actually vomited several times.

But there is no way, these 20 customized fishing boats are too advanced, using an all-electric propulsion system, using a sodium battery weighing about 20 tons to store electrical energy, when fully charged, it can travel 300 nautical miles at an economic speed of 12 knots, and it is equipped with an 80KW spare diesel engine, as well as a fuel tank that can store a ton of diesel, and in the case of battery depletion, using a diesel engine, it can travel more than 300 nautical miles at a speed of 12 knots.

In short, the technical indicators required by Xu Yuan are: these 20 fishing boats can catch marine fish within a radius of 500 kilometers from the port.

In addition, it is also equipped with gyroscope, light trapping system, sonar tracking fish system, fast freezing cabin (20 cubic meters capacity), and small detection radar and other equipment, because all kinds of equipment are too advanced, the price is naturally very expensive, reaching 10 million yuan a piece, which is still a preferential price.

With such advanced fishing vessels.

After some rigorous training, Xu Yuan still personally sat on the ship today, and the first fishing boat officially went to sea to carry out the first fishing task.

Soon.

Less than 20 nautical miles from port, the sonar system detected a large number of active fish tracks, immediately accelerated to 20 knots per hour, caught up with the tide of fish, and then quickly dropped a high-strength nylon trawl net, which could cover an area of thousands of square meters when unfolded.

"Pick up the net!"

"Tighten the winch a little faster."

"Come up, the fish come up!"

"Lift the machine and pour the fish into the fish warehouse!"

In the sound of a bang.

The fish warehouse with a volume of 20 cubic meters was immediately filled with most of it, including large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, grouper, redhead fish, octopus, salmon, eel, etc., as well as crabs, lobsters, conch several, the scene of jumping and dancing all over the sky, making people all happy.

Because the fish warehouse was not full, everyone went down another net, and after more than 20 minutes, more fish and shrimp than the first net were fished up, and immediately filled the fish warehouse, and even a small part overflowed and fell back into the sea, helplessly giving up.

That is, the two nets filled the cabin and had to turn around and return to the sea.

And look at a cabin full of fish.

Wu at the helm, who was in charge of controlling the rudder, burst into tears and said excitedly: "Too much, too much, the old man has been fishing all his life, I'm afraid there are not as many as these two nets today." ”

Boatman Hong Shoutian said: "It's too scary! There are so many fish in this sea, as long as I catch a few boats, I will not be able to eat them all in my life. ”

Sun Haisheng, who was in charge of controlling the winch, also sighed: "Fishing is so easy, you won't have to worry about having no fish to eat in the future, and it is impossible to starve to death." ”

The most excited was actually Xu Yuan, he muttered: "The ancient environment is so good, just the fish in the offshore sea are endless, there are no competitors, and the resources are unimaginable!" Marine fishing must be vigorously developed! ”
