There is no gallop road from Changsha County to Huiji County, and the travel speed is extremely slow, and it took a group of people to arrive at Huiji County in June.

Different from other counties, Huiji County is already the richest county in the whole Jiangnan, which is comparable to several other large grain-producing counties, and there is the most profitable Jiangnan weaving here, and the houses you see along the way are much better than other counties, and the appearance of the people is better than other counties.

Arriving at the Wuxian Palace, Zhang Li, Zhang Liang, and Bailingmu were already waiting here.

After the salute, everyone came to the main hall and took their seats.

Seeing that Zhang Liang had lost weight again, I encouraged: "The inspector is working very hard in Jiangnan, and he must put his body first. ”

Zhang Liang hurriedly got up and thanked him: "Thank you for Your Majesty's concern, serve Your Majesty, and dare not be unwilling." ”

I nodded and looked at Zhang Li: "How is the situation in Huiji County?" ”

Zhang Li bowed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the population of Huiji County is nearly one million, and in addition to the head of this county, nearly 200,000 people have moved from other counties. Today, we are still vigorously cultivating rice, and now we are harvesting the first crop of rice, and then planting the second crop. In addition, the development of mulberry fish ponds not only provided enough silk for Jiangnan to weave, but also improved the life of Qianshou, who could eat fish three or four times a month. ”

I nodded, Jiangnan's development was very rapid, which shows that so much support was given to Jiangnan at that time was not in vain. As I spoke, I asked about another thing that I was concerned about: "Has there ever been a trace of a traitor in Huiji County now?" ”

I'm very worried about this traitor, I'm afraid that one day there will be another fierce man like Xiang Yu, even if it doesn't pose much of a threat to the imperial court, it will always be a troublesome matter.

Zhang Li's eyebrows gradually stretched, and he said confidently: "The people have their food, their clothes, and their homes, except for being grateful to Your Majesty, there are no other complaints, especially those who have moved from other counties, and they are even more grateful to Your Majesty's reinvention grace. ”

"Good!" Hearing Zhang Li's report, I was also overjoyed, which shows that Daqin has gradually won the hearts of the people, as long as the people are towards Daqin, there is no need to be afraid of anything.

I looked at Zhang Liang again: "How about the three things of road building, Jiangnan weaving, and warehouse building?" ”

Zhang Liang arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the three counties have no disagreement about the road construction, and now starting from Wusheng County, the roads along the way have begun to start, among which Wusheng County has the best progress to the east, and Qianshou can trade handmade products by himself, which greatly improves the living standards of the local Qianshou, because the imperial court mainly sells large items such as Quyuan ploughs and keel waterwheels, so it has not caused much impact on the official industry. ”

"With His Majesty's improved looms, Jiangnan Weaving can now produce 400,000 pieces of silk and 600,000 pieces of linen every year, of which most of the silk is used for the imperial court and trade with neighboring countries, and linen cloth is mainly used for garment making in Qianshou. In addition, the Shosakufu is continuing to improve the textile machine according to His Majesty's drawings, and if it can be driven smoothly by water power, it is believed that it will be able to further increase production. ”

"The construction of the warehouse has basically been completed, and there is no obstacle to the transportation of rice to Guanzhong through the counties of Wuguan Road and Binhai Road, including Huiji County, a total of four counties have not built a large warehouse, and according to the custom, the Great Court will pay grain to the national treasury every year."

"Very good!" Zhang Liang is indeed talented, and it was not in vain that I kept him back then.

A lot of people think that I was soft-hearted, even a woman's kindness, but I don't think so. It would be a pity that a rare talent like Zhang Liang could not be used by me. If he was a brutal and brainless person like Xiang Yu, I would not have hesitated at the slightest, and I would also behead him and Xiang Yu together, which is why I decided to keep him after meeting and chatting with him in person, including Han Xin.

But there are only two people I admit that I shouldn't have kept at that time, that is, Liu Bang and Xiao He! These two men were also heroes, but they were always unsettling as courtiers, and their rebellion was a real climate. But now regret is inevitably a little villain's heart, if they can build a good ship in Panyu like Sima Li, it doesn't hurt to reuse it.

Then the two of them briefly explained some local conditions, all of which were said at the court meeting, and the clean room also had the strictest monitoring of Huiji County, so there was no much delay, and I said that I would let them leave after I knew about it.

————

At this time, it was June, the weather was hot, I could only hurry in the morning and evening, the time was very urgent, I only stayed in Huiji County for two days, inspected the local situation and Jiangnan weaving, and left immediately.

Along the coastal road all the way to the north, over Donghai County, there is a gallop road to go, the speed along the way is much faster, and it can reach Langya County at the end of June.

didn't enter Tobu, I directly asked people to call Li Taibo, the commander of Langya County, to the beach of Jiaozhou Bay.

The gust of sea breeze hit, and he felt a little cool, and Li Taibo stood respectfully behind him.

"Li Taibo, I'm going to build a shipyard here!" Looking at the boundless sea, I used to think that this was a natural harbor, and it might be more suitable to build a ship here than in Lingnan, but now seeing the topography here, I finally made up my mind.

Not only Li Taibo, everyone was a little surprised.

Li Taibo stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, there has never been a precedent for building a shipyard here, so I don't know if it is suitable?" ”

I smiled slightly, Qingdao is one of China's natural harbors, and there is nothing more suitable than here.

"Do you remember the map of the world that I showed you?" These words were addressed to Lees.

Naturally, they would not forget the shock of seeing the world map for the first time, and arched their hands: "The ministers dare not forget!" ”

I nodded, pointed to the east and said, "Unless the territory of Great Qin can reach the Atlantic, then in the future, Great Qin will go to Eastern Qin Continent, and it is most appropriate to start from here and head north." Not only that, but I guess that Xu Fu's bastard traveled north from here to Qindong (Dongying) Island south or east of Liaodong, and it was the closest to go from here to find him. ”

Yu He played his old job and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, is the shipyard in Panyu going to stop shipbuilding?" ”

I shook my head, my positioning of shipbuilding there was to prevent people with ulterior motives from escaping the sea after the world map was released, and the positioning here should at least reach the level of a sail battleship!

"The ships of Panyu are too small to be used as warships to conquer the Qinnan (Indo-Central) Peninsula and the Kunlun South (India) Peninsula in the future. The shipyard here, Li Taibo, you choose a good place first, what kind of scale you want to achieve, what kind of function you have, I will plan it for you when I go back. ”

The neighborhood is a large grain-producing county, and the pressure to build an additional shipyard is not too great, and listen to my tone, this shipyard is the same as Xianyang New Town, it is a long-term plan, and everyone will not say more, and they will all say yes.
