Chapter 222: The Daughter of the Guo Family
"Over there in Shanxi, let's take a look at the movements of the Changshi Mansion first, they can convince the government that it is the best, as for Shaanxi."
Zhu Gaochi thought for a while, and finally said, "Let's go back and ask my father to come forward, write a letter to the second uncle, and persuade the second uncle to change his mind." ”
It can only be like this, Zhou Shifeng is no longer entangled in this matter.
After Zhou Shifeng left, the clerical room sent a thick pile of documents, all of which Zhu Gaochi needed to deal with.
Because Zhu Gaochi has to run at both ends of the Shizi Mansion and the headquarters, the work arrangement is mainly based on the headquarters.
When I was in the Shizi Mansion, in addition to observing politics and studying, all the other documents were submitted to the headquarters.
Whether it is the affairs of Daning, or the affairs of Kaiping, or the Jinzhou Forest Farm, and the factories in Beiping.
Avoid that when Zhu Gaochi was at the headquarters, the documents were sent to the Shizi Mansion; When I was in the Shizifu, the documents were delivered to the headquarters.
"Report on the preparation of Jiaohe Farm Tool Factory."
"The plan for applying for an increase in the food stamp quota at the Daimyo Prefecture Station."
"September Summary of Food Stamp Bank."
"General Catalogue of Health Planning Books for Rural Household Economic Cooperatives for the Next Year."
"Statistics of the accounts of the Beiping Trade Center."
"In the second quarter, the general record of grain railway credits for Chinese and French businessmen was opened."
……
"Forest Farm Fisheries Exploration Report."
Zhu Gaochi paused with his hand and carefully flipped through the charter.
"The development of fishery in Jinzhou is blank, from the Shandong Tianjin wharf, and Denglai two wharves, invited more than a dozen old captains."
"If you want to develop the fishing industry, typhoons are a problem that cannot be avoided."
"The typhoon situation in Jinzhou, after collecting the opinions of the old captains, about once a year and a half typhoons, compared with the seven to nine typhoons a year in Fujian, Jinzhou has a unique advantage in the development of fisheries."
"Regarding the hydrology of Jinzhou, the climate is stable, the sea surface waves are small, except for Tianjin, there are more reefs along the Denglai area, and the overall risk of ships going to sea is small."
"There are many islands in the Liaozuo Sea, which can be used for ships to shelter from the wind and trim, which is greatly conducive to fishing, and the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea have rich fish sources."
……
"The biggest problem is that there are few people who know fishing techniques, and it requires a lot of training, which is not a day's work."
"The second is the experience of tracing fish stocks, and the technology collected by the forest farm is not comprehensive enough, so it needs the support of the headquarters."
"Finally, there are three ways to preserve fish, there are three ways to pickle, smoke, and freezer preservation, according to the research of technicians, it was decided to first explore the coastal islands on the sea, and build a fishing ground on the islands for fishing boats to dock and dispose of the catch."
"Because the charts are not perfect, we need to start from scratch, in addition to the forest farm itself through the local elders to obtain information, please also ask the headquarters to collect the charts of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea."
Zhu Gaochi read it in a quarter of an hour and thought about it for a quarter of an hour.
The forest farm has technical support from the headquarters, and the conclusions drawn are comprehensive, and there is nothing wrong with it.
There is only a problem with pickling, which requires a lot of salt.
After thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi replied on it: "Salt can cooperate with Jinzhouwei to set up a salt farm in Lushunkou." ”
"Boiling salt with seawater, the old iron mountain next to it can provide a lot of firewood to use, according to local conditions, you can use the iron pot to cook salt technology, although the fuel cost is high, but the amount of salt obtained is larger, and the overall cost performance is higher."
The common people of Daming have a high demand for salt, and salted fish is more popular than smoked fish, which can provide not only protein, but also salt.
As for the freezer, it is not a problem.
Countless ice cubes can be obtained from the river every winter, and it is enough to put it in the ice store for a year or two.
The biggest problem with ice harvesting from the river is the tools.
Without tools, people are counting on Wanghe to sigh, but the problem of tools is not a problem for China Heavy Industry.
Then there's the issue of shipping.
The method that the forest farm came up with was good.
Pickling and smoking, or putting it in the freezer, requires place and manpower.
Therefore, by finding suitable islands in the sea, large and small fishing grounds and ice banks are set up for nearby ships to use.
It saves the time of the boat and also avoids the fact that fresh fish stay on the fishing boat for a long time, which can lead to spoilage problems.
"Iron pot salt boiling technology?" After the clerk's office retrieved the paperwork, a clerk took the initiative to knock on the door, and after obtaining permission, walked into Zhu Gaochi's office.
The young clerk reminded worriedly, "Little prince, it is forbidden for the imperial court to boil salt in an iron pot, will it cause trouble?" ”
Zhu Gaochi smiled, he knew about it.
Seeing that the little prince didn't take it seriously, the clerk knew that the little prince didn't make a decision without knowing it, so he was no longer worried.
The prohibition of boiling salt in iron pots was a requirement set by the imperial court in order to crack down on illegal salt.
Salt households use piers to boil salt.
The wide countertop of several people makes it impossible for salt farmers to hide their secrets, and the tools for boiling salt in the iron pot are small, and the yamen is not easy to find.
Therefore, if the salt farmers use iron pots to cook salt, they must supply the smugglers of salt, and they will be punished together when they are found.
And on the Jinzhou side, Zhu Gaochi is not afraid that someone will find out.
If the control of the imperial court can be stretched so long and the control is so strong, it will not be called ancient.
Jinzhou is isolated overseas, and on the Liaodong Peninsula, with the care of Jinzhou Wei, no one can explore the specific affairs of the forest farm.
And the salt from the forest farms does not flow back into the country, but is only used for fishing grounds, so it is impossible to cause trouble.
"What's your name?"
Zhu Gaochi was very satisfied with this careful clerk, and his face was tight, so he asked.
The new clerk had only been here for a month.
The stay rate of the clerical room is not long, the shortest half a year will be released, and the longest will not exceed one year, and each document released can be reused.
The clerk held back the excitement in his heart and replied calmly: "Back to the little prince, his subordinate is called Zhao Sheng, and his father is Jiyang Wei Qianhu. ”
Jiyang Wei is not in Jiyang.
To be precise, it was originally in Jiyang, and later Xu Da moved Jiyang Wei in Jiyang to Beiping, and the Yamen of the Weidu Division was in the city of Beiping Mansion.
Xu Da is Zhu Di's father-in-law, and his eldest daughter Xu Miaoyun is married to Zhu Di, that is, Princess Yan Xu, Zhu Gaochi's mother.
It can be said that Xu Da's old subordinates constitute Zhu Di's strength plate.
And every time Zhu Di leaves Beiping City, everything is handed over to the Changshi Mansion, and then Princess Yan is in charge of controlling it.
In addition to the deep love between husband and wife, it is also because of Princess Yan's mother's family.
Many old people in Beiping Zhuwei turned out to be generals under Xu Da, and their attitudes were naturally inclined to Princess Yan, so Princess Yan's influence in Beiping was really not small.
However, Xu Da has been dead for many years, and Zhu Di's own prestige has become stronger and stronger, so the original Xu Da label on Beiping Zhuwei has become more and more weakened.
And Xu Zengshou, the third son of the Xu family, is close to Zhu Di, in addition to his feelings since childhood, there are also factors in this regard.
……
Wang fu.
Zhu Di came back from outside and told Princess Yan with a smile that the Yuan family had arrived in Tianjin, and the marriage of the eldest daughter had begun.
Xu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, although he knew that there would be no mistakes, he would inevitably be worried and did not want an accident to happen.
"In the morning, the boss came to say hello, and I asked the boss what he thought about his marriage, but the boss was calm and had no thoughts of his own."
"Oh?" Zhu Di was curious, "The ladies of various families often come to the palace to walk around, doesn't the boss fancy anyone?" ”
That's how he and Xu Miaoyun met back then, and as for the later marriage, it also happened later.
"Well, the boss says we're in charge." Xu smiled.
Zhu Di couldn't help but touch his chin, revealing nervous eyes, stretched his neck close to Xu, and whispered, "Will the boss be sick?" ”
Xu looked at Zhu Di inexplicably.
"Ahem." Zhu Di coughed dryly twice and whispered: "The eldest is not young, but he has never been close to women, will there be a problem in that regard?" ”
"What are you talking about?"
Xu couldn't help but slap Zhu Di twice and scolded: "The boss drove Mama away, and no one called him, he just doesn't understand." ”
Zhu Di shook his head and said noncommittally: "With the boss's talent, we don't believe that the boss doesn't understand the affairs of men and women. ”
Hearing her husband say this, Xu also hesitated.
Originally, because I was worried that there was a fox who didn't understand the rules and wanted to climb high branches, it would harm the boss's body, so Xu was strict.
Over the years, it has been a little looser, especially the eldest son moved to the Shizi Mansion, and he didn't hear anything around the eldest son, so the Xu family didn't take it to heart, and now his heart is hanging.
"What do I think of the Guo family's daughter?" Xu said again.
Zhu Di frowned and groaned.
Liaodong Guo family, Guo Ying and Guo Xing two brothers with Zhu Yuanzhang to fight, Hongwu eighteen years ago, Guo Ying guarded Liaodong, now in charge of the palace forbidden soldiers.
Guo Ying's eldest son was a concubine of the dynasty, and he had three sons without daughters, Guo Ying's third daughter married the king of Liao, and the second son was in charge of the palace order of the king of Liao.
The King of Liao is the fifteenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, and he is only eighteen years old now, because the Liao Palace's mansion has not yet been repaired, and he stays outside Guangning.
In other words, in the Liao Wangfu, the Guo family's power is huge.
Guo Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang are of the same generation, and Guo Ying's children are the same generation as Zhu Di, so the daughter of the Guo family mentioned by Princess Yan is naturally the daughter of Guo Ying's second son.
"I'm afraid it's difficult, my father shouldn't agree." Zhu Di said slowly.
"Ugh."
Xu sighed, she understood what her husband meant.
If the concubine of King Yan marries the daughter of the Guo family, Zhu Di is the fourth brother of the King of Liao, and the King of Liao is still young, and his mother is a Korean, so there is no maternal power.
Coupled with the prestige of King Yan and the support of the Guo family, I am afraid that King Yan's Mansion can control at least half of Liaodong.
"I don't see these, but I have seen all the daughters of various families, and my favorite is the daughter of the Guo family, whose talent and appearance are the most outstanding."
"Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, it is impossible to count if you are not outstanding in appearance." Zhu Di smiled, just laughed twice, and slowly couldn't laugh anymore.
Xu Shi looked at Zhu Di coldly.
"Hehe, Miaoyun, you are different, your appearance was the most outstanding at that time." Zhu Di patted the horses.
Xu was too lazy to take care of it, and no longer paid attention to Zhu Di.
"Report it to your father first, report the name of the daughter of the Guo family together, and then find a few small families to see who your father chooses."
"That's all there is to it." Xu sighed, she still wanted the daughter of the Guo family to be her daughter-in-law.
