Out of the bookstore, the three of them wandered around for a while, and Xie Ding and Sun Fu decided to go to Fan Gongting to nostalgia.

When Fan Zhongyan was in Qingzhou, the people spontaneously built it because of the implementation of benevolent government and good governance.

Li Gang did not go, but took the ten yuan and experimented in the market.

After turning around, he found that what Xie Ding said was true, this green coin could really be used directly as a copper coin.

Even the street vendors will accept it.

Even, compared to copper coins, these merchants prefer green money.

This discovery made Li Gang ecstatic, and he felt that he had found a way to get rid of the Han thief.

Even if it can't be removed, it can still damage its vitality.

How did Jiaozi collapse?

It is because the imperial court is greedy and overissued, but there is no corresponding money.

Li Gang is very clear about this.

After returning home, he only needs to find skilled craftsmen to imitate them, print them in large quantities, and then let the secret agents take these counterfeit coins and go to Shandong to purchase materials in large quantities.

It won't be long before Shandong's entire monetary system will collapse.

At that time, countless merchants will be panicked and will flock to exchange green coins, and the Han thieves will not have so many gold, silver and copper coins to redeem.

The end result was that a large number of businessmen went bankrupt, Shandong's commerce withered, and the people were in turmoil.

Happily returning to the library to translate, Li Gang first wrote a note, and then began to refine the plan to defeat the Korean thieves.

……

When Song Huizong received the recital, it was already three days later.

After learning that Sun Fu and Li Gang not only succeeded in dissuading the Han thieves from forming an alliance with the Jin people, but also lobbied the Han thieves to send troops to stop the Jin people, they were overjoyed.

And the price paid for this was only a few charts, shipbuilders, and the families of the pawns.

It wasn't a problem for him at all.

As long as you don't ask him for money, everything is easy to say.

Song Huizong was afraid that Han Zhen would regret it, so he immediately ordered the family members of the fallen soldiers to move to Shandong.

Subsequently, he ordered the mobilization of 50 skilled folk shipbuilders from the three seaports of Quanzhou, Guangzhou and Mingzhou, as well as hundreds of nautical charts, to be sent to Shandong.

Yes, folk shipbuilders.

It's not that Song Huizong is reluctant to send the craftsmen of the official bureau, but he can't do it at all.

After more than 100 years of peace, Zhao Song Shuishi has long been erosive.

The sailors are erosive, and the craftsmen in charge of shipbuilding naturally have no work, and over time, the craftsmanship is rusty.

In contrast, the prosperity of private shipping has given birth to a group of skilled shipbuilders.

Last year, he sent envoys to Goryeo, and several Shenzhou built were made by folk craftsmen.

……

……

At night.

Han Zhen sat by the bonfire, looking at the secret letter sent by Xie Ding in an emergency.

Zhao Fujin on the side saw him smiling, and couldn't help asking, "Why is the husband so happy?" ”

"It's just some government affairs."

Han Zhen said, throwing the secret letter into the fire.

If Zhao Fujin knew that his husband had cheated his father again, I don't know how he would feel.

"Oh."

Hearing that it was government affairs, Zhao Fujin lost interest.

Ma Shuyao blinked his eyes and asked, "Have you ever seen the sea?" ”

"Naturally."

Han Zhen smiled slightly and said, "You forgot that I went to Guangling?" ”

As soon as Ma Shuyao finished asking, Jiang Suyi asked again: "Husband, husband, how is the sea compared to the Qiantang River?" ”

Han Zhen replied: "There is no comparison, how can the light of the fireflies compete with the bright moon." ”

Not to mention that in ancient times, even if the navigation technology of later generations was so advanced, less than 5% of the area was still explored.

The ocean is so large that it is almost an inexhaustible treasure trove.

The land has been cultivated for thousands of years and has become barren, and it is time to shift their eyes from the land to the sea.

"There are a lot of delicacies in the sea, and when you get to Jimo, let you try it. It's not too early, rest early. ”

Han Zhen finally coaxed a few women into the carriage and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Sometimes there are too many women, which is not a good thing, especially for women of Zhao Fujin's age, who are still in junior high school in the next generation, and it is the most noisy time. Together, they chattered like a flock of sparrows in their ears, and the noise made his head almost big.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Lao Jiu hid aside and snickered.

"You're fucking laughing."

Gently kicked Lao Jiu's buttocks, Han Zhen raised his eyebrows and said: "The eldest is not small, when you go back from Jimo, you will be given a month's leave, go to marry a mother-in-law, and then ask for two concubines, work hard, and strive to stay a few more." ”

In this era, it is difficult to feed children, and if you say no, they will be gone.

Sometimes there are seven or eight children, who are still adults, and maybe none of them.

“……”

Speaking of this, Lao Jiu suddenly blushed.

Don't look at his bravery when he fights, he doesn't blink his murderous eyes, but in fact, he blushes when he says a word to a woman.

Among their gang of deserters, the youngest Xiao Wu once had a wife, and Lao Jiu was a bachelor, and now he is in his thirties, and he hasn't even visited his mother's kiln.

The thirties at this time are different from the later generations, most of them have become grandfathers, but they can call themselves old husbands and grandchildren.

I saw the old ninth period Ai Aidi said: "County...... County magistrate, I'm living a good life alone now......"

"Fart."

Han Zhen glared at him and scolded: "Don't talk to me about these things that you don't have, after you go back, I will ask the matchmaker to find a candidate for you." ”

Lao Jiu was silent for a long time, and he didn't say a word.

After Han Zhen left, the guards on the side couldn't hold back any longer and laughed out loud.

Lao Jiu said angrily: "Straight lady thief, laugh at Lao Tzu again." ”

The guards suddenly held back their laughter, but their shoulders were still shaking.

Lao Jiu thought about it and was not convinced, and flew towards the one who was laughing the most, and flew and kicked it.

……

Following.

At noon, Han Zhen finally arrived in Jimo.

Qi Meng got the news in advance, and led a group of supplementary officials to greet him outside the city early.

After a short time, three hundred cavalry escorted several carriages and slowly drove from the official road.

"I've seen the county magistrate!"

Qi Meng bowed and greeted loudly.

The supplementary officers behind him also shouted in unison.

"Hmm."

Han Zhen nodded and ordered: "Now that Jimo is busy with official business, let the supplementary officials go back to the county government to run errands." ”

"Yes."

Qi Meng hurriedly ordered the supplementary officials to return to the county government first.

He himself took a few steps forward, took the reins of the war horse under Han Zhen, temporarily took the duties of the horseman, and at the same time reported on the recent work.

"In terms of civil affairs, everything is going smoothly at present, the apportionment into the mu is smoothly implemented, and the gentry are also very cooperative. After the end of the summer harvest and when the farming is slack, the cash-for-work will be implemented to recruit the people to build water conservancy and roads. ”

Han Zhen is not worried about this, although Qi Meng is not impatient, but he is extremely calm and spicy, with clear governing ideas, advancing step by step, not arrogant or impatient, compared to Xie Ding and Chang Yukun, who have been officials for more than ten years, they are not inferior.

It's an innate talent that can't be envied.

At the same time, it is also the reason why Han Zhen sent him to Jimo.

Han Zhen asked, "What about Jiaozhou Bay?" ”

Qi Meng's reply was like a stream: "The Shipping Department has been established for a month, and it has managed merchant ships and fishing vessels in the harbor. The official port is still under construction and is expected to be completed by the end of August. ”

Han Zhen asked again: "What happened to the sea vessels?" ”

Qi Meng smiled bitterly: "In Zhao Song's original ship division, the craftsmanship of craftsmen is too poor, and they are not as good as folk craftsmen. Therefore, Wechen requisitioned a group of private craftsmen, but due to the scarcity of numbers, the progress has not been raised, and now the dock is being built. ”

"It doesn't matter."

Han Zhen said with a smile: "After a while, I will send a group of skilled craftsmen to be sent by you." ”

Hearing this, Qi Meng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly thanked: "Thank you county magistrate!" ”

Suddenly, Qi Meng thought of something and said: "County magistrate, Jimo is more than 50 miles away from Jiaozhou Bay, and it is quite inconvenient to manage. ”

"Yes."

Han Zhen nodded.

Originally, Jiaozhou Bay was located in Banqiao Town, Mizhou, which was only more than 20 miles away from Jiaozhou Bay.

In contrast, Jimo is indeed far away, which is inconvenient for freight.

The reason why I chose Jimo is because next door to Jiaozhou Bay, there is also a Laoshan Bay.

Although the geographical conditions are not as unique as Jiaozhou Bay, it can be used as a backup seaport, and Jimo County happens to be in the middle of the two bays, which is convenient for management in the future.

While speaking, Han Zhen entered the county seat.

As a central county, the population under its rule is only 350,000, similar to the former Linzi.

But with the settlement of a large number of wealthy merchants, Jimo County gradually began to show a prosperous scene.

As soon as the news of the opening of the sea came out, businessmen from all over Shandong flocked to it, all wanting to get a piece of the pie in this prosperous seaport.

For a time, housing prices in the county soared.

Originally, it only took a few dozen times to buy a small courtyard with a single family.

Today, the price has increased more than ten times.

The happiest are the people in the county, who sit at home, and the money comes from the sky, like the aborigines of the north, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen in later generations.

Green houses, restaurants, gambling houses, tea shops, and all kinds of workshops have sprung up one after another.

Wages have risen, and consumption levels have quietly increased.

It's very simple, the more people there are, the more demand there is, and the price of an item will naturally rise.

Looking at the bustling street in front of him, Han Zhen praised: "Good job, didn't disappoint me." ”

"These are the merits of the county magistrate, and Weichen doesn't dare to take credit."

It's not that Qi Meng is patting on the back, but telling the truth.

gave him so much help, and attracted a group of wealthy businessmen to settle in and invest, such a big limelight, even a pig can fly to the sky.
