Volume 2 Chapter 72: The Little Train
During the spring ploughing, Chu Yunge's high-yield seeds were planted 1,500 mu, and after the sweet potatoes were harvested, the part that was divided with the people was left by Chu Yunge to expand the planting.
Chickens lay eggs, and endless eggs and chickens are also the way to sustainable development, so she eats the purchased grain for the industrial zone and the house and road repair engineering team.
But Li Wenkang is too good at recruiting!
Money and grain, with the transportation of the industrial area, changed to a steady stream of sugar, paper and porcelain, these things were exchanged for a steady stream of money and grain with the caravan to Yangzhou.
As the four counties began to build cement mills, paper mills, roads, and houses, the money was still enough, but the small grain merchants in Huainan County could no longer maintain a stable supply.
Zhong Ye didn't follow Chu Yunge in the past few days, but he was also looking for a suitable grain merchant outside, but the grain and grass in Huan Pavilion were still well stocked for the time being, so he didn't rush to ask Tang Jing to help transport the grain.
Now the cycle of money and food has been broken.
Chu Yunge's eyes darkened: "Let Zhong Ye come to see me." β
Zhong Ye hurried over with the list of screened grain merchants, introduced it neatly, and then said: "The three largest grain merchants in Panyu are all running to Yangzhou, and there are few people in Jiaozhou, so they generally don't do business here. β
"I had already convinced one of the grain merchants surnamed Li, but just yesterday he repented."
Zhong Ye wanted to do things for Chu Yunge, but Chu Yunge not only asked him to bring all the barbarian Yue people scattered in the country back to Huanting for naturalization, and then let him be in the palace soldiers under the command of Meng Lang.
Finally, an errand came, but he made a mess: "My subordinates inquired about the reason, and said that the price of grain in Yangzhou had risen." β
"Why?"
"The river has burst."
Chu Yunge opened his mouth and didn't make a sound.
She flipped through the secret letter in her hand, and then remembered that there was still Lu Fei's information that she hadn't read, and as soon as she opened it, she saw the words "the river burst the embankment".
During the spring flood in Yangzhou, some small counties also burst their embankments, but thanks to the reminder of Fu Yanzhi, who happened to pass by, there were not too many casualties.
However, now Fu Yanzhi sits on the mountain in Chang'an all day watching the tiger fight, and sometimes divination balances the power of the prince and the eldest prince.
When communicating with Chu Yunge, he only mentioned that Huainan Junguo had not had any major disasters in recent times, and it was estimated that he had not put any effort into other places.
And...... Man-made disasters or natural disasters are still uncertain.
"Contact the small grain merchants who don't have caravans, and they can collect as much as they can." Chu Yunge had a hunch that the chaos in the world mentioned by the Mandate of Heaven system was the prelude to the continuous disasters everywhere.
"After collecting it, let's go back to Gaoliang."
You can't delay!! There is no food for disaster relief, and if the rice that Huanting is preparing for a bumper harvest is eaten and the roots are broken, there will be no second batch of seeds!
All of a sudden, Tang Jing, who originally planned to receive Chu Changli, brought Tang Luo a dismount by the way, and then pulled out the radish and brought out the mud by the Tang family's abduction forces, and began to be busy.
"Ah Jing and I are good friends, I must not be polite to Ah Jing, 100,000 is urgent about the life and death of Huainan County, I can only believe Ah Jing!"
The teenager is affectionate, and the trust and expectation in his tone are unbearable.
Even if she was looking at the caravan of her young master of the Tang family......
There is also Kong Ming.
Due to the re-struck by the hurricane, the number of victims accepted by Seifuji Temple had exceeded the limit, and although they called on wealthy believers to do good deeds, they received some of them, but they could not starve to death.
There are examples of the previous group of people who set off to Huainan and have money to earn and repair houses, and there are more and more people who inquire about the monks, and Kong Ming has no choice but to preside over the job fair for the king of Huainan to change the lecture to Huainan.
When the number of people exceeded the part set by Chu Yunge before, he had to personally find Chu Yunge, who was busy writing letters to various places, and carefully asked the remaining part of the victims if they could go to Huainan with him.
Chu Yunge couldn't help but laugh as he was immersed in the reaction of various forces in the face of natural disasters and the arrangements for his subordinates scattered all over the place.
But it was also a little difficult to do after laughing: "The incident happened suddenly, and I don't know the current situation in Huainan." The previous group of people should have only stayed in Gao Liang...... In this way, I will march back to Huanting with the people in a hurry, leaving a few people here, and the rest of the people will follow them slowly. β
When this group of people arrives in Huanting, the siege of the victims should also be dealt with, and the handling of the newcomers can be seamlessly connected.
Kong Ming thanked him happily and softly, and hurried back to the temple.
After three days of busy preparations, Chu Yunge and his party finally pulled the food and set off back to Huainan.
Tang Jing watched her go away, and chatted with Ah Dao: "Changli carries so many things, it's not as good as taking a boat, even if you rush back, it will take more than ten days, right?" β
She said to herself again: "I don't know what Changli has done, Daddy has been reined in a lot recently, and he praised me...... I always have to give something in return. β
The departing carriage and horses were not as Tang Jing thought, they were burdened by too many loads and walked slowly.
In other words, before arriving at Gaoliang, it is relatively slow.
But after arriving in Gaoliang, all the grain and grass on the carriage were unloaded and boarded on the iron-clad carriage...... Train carriages.
The blast furnace in Gaoliang County is non-stop day and night, and the cement and the iron bars that are sunken inside are continuously produced, and they are quickly transported outside the city and paved into a narrow road.
The cement holds the iron bars firmly in place and extends all the way to the west.
After everyone and everything were transferred to the train carriage, Chu Yunge, who had taken a short break, summoned Feng Chong, and after some secret talks, there were two hundred more tribal masters in the train carriage, led by Qi Sheng and Qiao Lou respectively.
The newly mined black stone burned red in the flames, the steam engine rang out, and the tin carriage ran along the railroad tracks with the bow of the more complex locomotiveβ
"How did this iron car run?" Feng Chong muttered to himself.
The black railroad tracks are crooked, connecting Gaoliang, a key place for the garrison, and Huan Ting, where the Huainan Royal Mansion is located, which looks narrow and weird in comparison with the cement road next to it.
But it is strange and unapproachable in the eyes of the people of Huainan, and it is also the plaything of the king of Huainan in the eyes of some people who are secretly lurking, and it is labor-intensive.
Chang'an, thousands of miles away.
After the court meeting, Prime Minister Mu Wei did not go to Weiyang Palace to discuss with Emperor Jinwen, but went straight to Jiuxiao Pavilion. The little Taoist boy in charge of sprinkling and sweeping led Mu Wei to the pavilion, and Fu Yanzhi had been waiting for a long time.
Mu Wei's heart was relieved, and Lang smiled: "It seems that the national teacher has already guessed that I will come, so he must have expected my problem?" β
Fu Yanzhi's expression was faint, but he was often like this on weekdays, and Mu Wei didn't think it was strange.
The national teacher looked down at the white porcelain teacup in his hand, and said in a casual tone: "It's probably to ask why you don't help Chu Yunxiao intercede." β
Mu Wei: "He deserves to be a national teacher." β
Seeing that Fu Yanzhi was indifferent and added sugar cubes to the tea after answering, he couldn't help but cover his cheeks, and persuaded him: "Even though His Royal Highness the Ninth sends you sugar every month, you can't ...... it."
Eat sugar as a meal, right?
Fu Yanzhi glanced at him and ignored him, Mu Wei had no choice but to ask himself: "Didn't you always take turns to help the prince and His Highness talk before?" I saw with my own eyes that when the crown prince was grounded, you went to look for Your Majesty, and on the second day, His Royal Highness was called to Weiyang Palace, and his neck was red when he came out. β
"Now that the prince is proud of the rare medicinal materials he brought back from the Western Regions, it stands to reason that you should also help His Highness or fight the prince's arrogance......"
"Why did you change your mind?"
