"Hey, hey, you're really leaving?"

Zuo Chong hurriedly stood up, leaned out, and reached out to grab Chu Ze: "Aren't we just discussing, what's the hurry." ”

"We are not in a hurry, but the people of Hengyang are in a hurry. Do you promise or not? Chu Ze was deliberately hanging him, he didn't really want to leave, and at this time, he let him grab his arm, and stood in place and looked down at him, with the intention that if Zuo Chong didn't agree, he would immediately throw his hand and leave.

Zuo Chong is also a human spirit.

Where can I not see what Chu Ze meant?

But he didn't dare to guarantee that if Chu Ze left, this matter would not really be yellow.

Then he'll run for nothing.

The most important thing is that the position of the imperial merchant cannot be lost!

If you figure it out, nothing else matters.

Zuo Chong let go of his hand, and pointed at Chu Ze as if annoyed and angry: "You kid." ”

Chu Ze's eyebrows raised slightly.

He waited for Zuo Chong's next step.

Zuo Chong tapped him several times, but he didn't disappoint him.

"Well, aren't we just going to suffer a little loss? We should go down, but you have to guarantee that the position of the imperial merchant must be ours. "Zuo Chong is good money, but he also knows when to spend money.

With the least amount of money in exchange for the maximum benefit, he is willing to do it.

But there are occasional exceptions.

For example, now, if you can exchange money for things that money can't buy, it's worth the extra flowers.

And his sons have done business abroad, if he, the old man, is not a little mature, he will not lose the dead if he doesn't go?

In any case, he wants the position of this imperial merchant.

Chu Ze's goal was achieved, and the corners of his mouth went straight up.

He turned his head, shook Zuo Chong's finger up and down: "Deal." ”

Zuo Chong: "...... Come on, come on, come on. ”

Don't let him really be a big boss, he'll be thankful.

As soon as their matter was reached, Chu Ze turned his head and discussed with Li Xing about the diversion of the river.

Li Xing is indeed very talented in this regard.

Much stronger than Chu Ze.

With a few strokes, he hooked out the current situation of the Xiangjiang River.

Then point to a few steep places and make your own changes one by one.

After finishing it, he picked up the paper and handed it to Chu Ze to read.

"According to your requirements, the water that comes out of here can be poured directly into this lake." Li Xing's hand, following his words, drew a path on the paper, and then nodded at the lake he said, and then stroked to the side, "This place was a lake before, but it can be connected to the current lake." ”

"And here......"

Li Xing said one place, and his finger would move to one place.

And speak your mind.

This time, the Xiangjiang River flood washed away not only the people's houses and countless crops.

Part of the river was also rerouted.

Many new lakes have even been created.

Now the whole of Hengyang, even half of Hunan, is barren at this time, and all kinds of ruins are waiting to be rebuilt.

Chu Ze was bold and planned to make a big makeover.

The first step is to re-plan the waterways.

And use the method of polders to transform low-lying land.

These low-lying areas are used to grow food crops.

What Li Xing made was just the initial plan.

Next, we have to find a few people who are familiar with the local hydrology to implement it.

Chu Ze was not familiar with this, and he had to find someone familiar to help him.

The best candidate for this person is, of course, the local prefect.

Originally, he wanted to go to Zhu Hu, but thinking that this person was sick, he didn't bother.

When he came to the prefect's yamen and explained his intentions, the prefect immediately said that there was no problem.

Isn't it just looking for a few people?

Isn't that simple?

He didn't say a word, but immediately ordered a notice to be posted outside the yamen.

After saying this, Chu Ze said by the way that he planned to use Zuo Chong to do business and exchange food for everyone.

Prefect Yu Min thought for a while and said, "This method is feasible, but the problem behind it is not small." ”

He agrees with Zuo Chong's idea, that is, what to do with people who don't have things.

As for the rest, Chu Ze has a holy decree anyway.

Even if they didn't, they did it for the people.

If the emperor wants to pursue it, then it will be investigated.

Yu Min is not afraid

Chu Ze said: "Let's think about it, Xianglian is a tribute, and the number of good quality Xianglian is limited, so we can't sell it casually, we have to hold an auction, whoever wants it depends on whether he has the ability to win it." Some of the money from the auction was used to buy grain, and the other part was used to buy materials for weaving summer cloth. ”

With the materials, they can build a simple shed.

Then weave summer cloth and sell it.

Xia cloth has the advantages of clear sweat and separation from the body, breathable heat dissipation, and natural antibacterial, which is very suitable for clothing, bedding, mattress pads, wall coverings, etc.

It can even be used as a fabric for arts and crafts.

Both today and in ancient times, they are all the same fanatic in their pursuit of people's comfort and health.

"Then let's take advantage of this and make a big announcement. Tell the world that Xia Bu is not only comfortable to use, but also can maintain the body to a certain extent, and I believe that many people are willing to buy it. Chu Ze took a sip of water, and then continued, "In addition, we also have to plant ramie. ”

Shabu is woven from ramie.

In the beginning, they could buy ramie from outsiders, but later, buying from other places was definitely not enough for them.

Then they have to grow their own.

Ramie is an extremely good breed.

You can almost live with soil and water.

And it can be harvested two or three times a year.

The output is also very impressive.

"As soon as these two things are activated, the people will have something to do. Then you can exchange it for food and money. ”

With food and money, the people's livelihood is secured.

Chu Ze talked eloquently.

Yu Min listened carefully and memorized these contents in his mind one by one.

Chu Ze finished his thoughts, and then said, "Lord Yu, you can handle the rest, right?" ”

Yu Min raised his head.

There was a determined smile in his eyes.

"The prince is joking, the prince has explained everything in detail, if we still can't do it well, we don't have to be the prefect, and we can go back with the crown."

Chu Ze nodded with satisfaction.

He just likes people like that.

No procrastination.

He doesn't have to worry about the things he explains, and he can do it well.

It's much better than the nong who only moved after poking it.

Thinking of this person, Chu Ze also sighed.

After staying in Quanzhou these days, he now thinks of Nong Yesi, and he misses it a lot.

I don't know how the factory he asked him to run is doing now.

Chu Ze came out of the yamen of the prefect's mansion, and he was thinking about this matter in his mind.

He walked slowly.

And suddenly—

"Ahh Chu Ze broke his foot and almost fell on his stomach.

When he stabilized his body and looked at the big pit under his feet, he shook his head helplessly.

The flood passed through and was devastated.

Even the road surface was washed out of potholes.

In some places, the holes are so big that a child can fall into them.

Well, when these things are arranged, we have to send some more people to quickly repair the roads in Hengyang City.

Or...... Directly change to cement pavement?

Just thinking about it, Chu Ze inadvertently raised his head, but saw a familiar figure walking out of the vermilion gate in front of him. (End of chapter)
