In contrast, Liu Kun and Zu Ti were fighting against the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms, and made the final effort to revive the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

At this time, the three northern states controlled by Liu Tai were relatively peaceful.

Even though it was a snowy winter, some major cities and factories, especially coastal cities, were still operating smoothly in the heavy snow, and the most important of them was the popularization of various cold-resistant facilities.

Because of the area that Liu Tai took over, how to build a fire kang house has become a skill that must be mastered.

As the winter gets colder and colder, how to ensure the survival of the people in winter is a political task that all officials must solve!

As long as someone freezes to death, the black yarn hat is gone, and if there is a situation of starvation, then the whole family will go to dig coal.

Therefore, the officials are also working hard, and in the early winter, it is better to say, they can organize people to clear the snow, keep the roads clear, and maintain the exchange of basic materials and information.

But in the depths of winter, even officials have little to do but confirm their food and firewood reserves one by one.

Because the snow has been falling for a long time, it is often so thick that it is about seven feet deep in one night.

Even if Cao Cao opened the coffin, he couldn't climb out because the snow was too deep and buried the whole person.

Not to mention that the vast majority of ordinary people who are malnourished are basically inactive in such a cold and snowy place.

Every winter, the people are at home, slowly waiting for the winter to pass, waiting for spring to come.

At this time, the fire kang will play a role, and the same will be matched with the fire kang There is also a warehouse for storing firewood.

Except for some people who have coal mines nearby, the vast majority of the people still use firewood to burn the kang.

Because compared to coal mines, firewood is a firewood that I can easily catch in summer and autumn, and I don't need money at all.

But the coal mines need to be bought at their own expense, and this alone has widened the gap between the two.

Not to mention, firewood burns relatively more durably than coal, which makes the people feel that it is more cost-effective to burn.

Of course, it is not the same for the wealthy, because charcoal fires are smaller in size and more convenient to store.

Therefore, it is more comfortable to use, and even the vast majority of rich people do not use the technology of ondol to keep warm.

For the Maison, it is more about boiling water over a charcoal fire, using a milder water vapor to warm up the room.

It's just that the coal and steel division in Tangshan has just been put into production, and now the main supply is the blast furnace steelmaking industry of Xie Fei, and there are not many cities.

Although there are coal mines in Qingzhou, they are only small mines, and high costs and low output are common.

After these people had a heating kang at home, in order to earn some food rations and fuel for the kang in winter, they even received a variety of small tasks from the village chief, such as assembling arrows, weaving cloth, grinding parts, and so on.

The wind and snow outside the house can't stop the enthusiasm of the people to work, because they can really get rich and change their lives by working hard.

These small rooms, buried by heavy snow, actually bury the seeds of next spring's lively prosperity.

This is the case with country houses, and the cities that have established ports along the coast are even more prosperous.

These cities born around Bohai Bay, even if they enter the cold winter wax moon, still have no intention of stopping.

First of all, there are ships still sailing on the sea, coming and going to transport supplies.

Naturally, seawater is denser, so it is less likely to freeze than land.

But more often than not, there are special icesweepers in the harbor to break up the frozen ice, or use their own boats to create a flow of water to avoid freezing, and do their best to ensure that the ship can sail smoothly even in winter.

In fact, the Prosperous Passage itself is the best defroster for needle icing, as long as a certain period of busy shipping is ensured, basically the icesweepers only sweep the ice twice a day, relatively speaking, although this kind of work is cold, but not hard.

When you come to the port, there are relatively special snow plowers on the ground to clear the snow, and the streets are also specially sprinkled with salt to promote the dissolution of snowflakes, so as to ensure that the main road of the port can at least run smoothly.

Liu Tai inspected this port in Donglai, and said to Yang Yu beside him,

"I'm afraid that the snow will get colder and colder in the future, you go to those professionals to ask if you can dig tunnels underground to ensure that part of the transportation can be put underground, even if it snows in winter, you can also carry out normal industry exchanges!"

"The subordinates will record it, and when they return to Guanggu City, they will report to Mr. Chu!" Yang Yu said to Liu Tai.

Liu Tai nodded, and only Chu Yu sat in the center and shouldered all kinds of affairs that needed to be handled.

This is the opportunity to have a look at various Qingzhou counties and counties.

To be honest, although I can handle government affairs myself, the way I deal with it is relatively straightforward, unlike Chu Yu, who is familiar with the rules of this era, and it is more mellow to deal with, so compared to himself, Chu Yu sits in the center.

As for himself, he still has to observe and observe the people's feelings, even if there is really any government affairs that have been accumulated, it will be too late to deal with it when he returns to the government affairs department.

Yang Yu looked at the non-stop ferry and said, "With the rise of shipping in Youzhou Jinkou, Jizhou Leling, and Donglai in Qingzhou around Bohai Bay, it can be said that the entire Bohai Sea has become the most lively place in the north!" ”

"Hmm!" Liu Tai nodded when he heard Yang Yu's words, and soon Liu Tai shook his head again and said, "It's just a rootless Ping!" ”

"Merchants have always pursued profits, and their rise and fall are also sudden, this is Tiandaoer!" Yang Yu said calmly.

When Liu Tai heard Yang Yu's words, he still shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about these merchants. ”

As he spoke, Liu Tai saw a two-story wooden house with some dried salted fish hanging from the eaves of the two-story building.

Seeing these salted dried fish, Liu Tai showed a somewhat satisfied smile.

The emergence of these processed fish by-products illustrates the emergence of a fishing industry that is hidden in the commodity trade, and is also emerging in these coastal cities.

Liu Tai knows that he is vigorously developing the navigation industry, not to make those few odds.

My real purpose is to calculate that I can't reach the level of ocean fishing in this life, but at least I have to reach the level of offshore fishing.

Don't say it, before he dies, the four major fishing grounds in China will at least develop the Bohai Rim Fishing Ground and the Zhoushan Fishing Ground.

All of this requires enough ships, and the ship project can't be fast, even if it wants to.

Not to mention, the shade-dried timber of this era alone took more than a year, which made it difficult to speed up the progress of the ship.

However, he has been running Qingzhou for so long, and Liu Tai has built the entire industrial chain from materials to ships quite perfectly, and even when necessary, Liu Tai is ready to transfer the retired fourth-generation ships to ordinary people to specialize in fishing boats.

At that time, I think that the people will gradually be able to go to the offshore sea to salvage.

The first thing Liu Tai did was to teach the fishermen how to preserve the fish for as long as possible.

Professor Liu Tai is to cut off the head of the fish, dig out the internal organs, smear it with table salt, and then dry it in the sun, which is a relatively simple way.

The piece of fish was placed prominently in every port, so that the people could come and see it if they wanted to, to see how long it would take for the fish to spoil.

Then Liu Tai said that anyone who can provide a way to slow down the decay of fish can come and report to you, as long as you follow the method you said, make the speed of decay of fish meat slower, then you will be rewarded with 100 gold directly!

For Liu Tai, it is not important to know such a technique itself, but what really matters is that the people who fish know how to deal with the fish in order to slow down the deterioration of the fish.

And the value of 100 gold is enough for the people to remember.

Liu Tai wants people to master the techniques of keeping fish fresh as much as possible before fishing in the offshore waters.

After all, unlike modern fishing, the whole efficiency is fundamentally different.

For the ancient people, if they went to a fishing place too far away to catch fish on a fishing boat, not to mention the difficult process, you must know that many fish caught from the sea are directly dead, so the preservation technology must be mastered by them.

Yes, many fish in the sea will die soon after they are successfully caught, and ordinary fishing boats simply do not have the ability to let them survive.

In addition to the fact that the salinity in seawater is different from that on land, there are also many people who ignore the pressure of some deep-sea fish, which is different from the pressure of inshore fish, which often leads to them catching fish and directly can't stand the pressure and die.

Therefore, how to ensure that the fish can be insured for a longer period of time when fishing on the ocean is the key to allowing people to go to the offshore sea and even go to the ocean to fish in the future.

If the people are not allowed to keep the wealth they have caught, it is impossible for them to become interested in fishing, and it is better to be a merchant than to work hard to catch fish.

Liu Tai walked step by step, watching the prosperity of the port of Donglai County, and I have to say that the magistrates here are not slacking off.

However, coming to Donglai Port is just a passing thing for Liu Tai.

The biggest purpose of coming to Donglai is for this largest and quietest mansion in Donglai, the palace!

Someone knocked on the knocker, and soon a maid cautiously opened the small doorway, "I don't know if this is the Donglai Palace?" ”

"Uncle Wang Mi's filial piety period has passed, I'm here to pick up your young lady back to Guanggu City, Xiaoqian!" Liu Tai said to the maid.

"Ah~ yes, it's my uncle, my young master, my aunt...... I'm going to call Miss! At this time, the queen Qian didn't expect Liu Tai to come to pick up their young lady in person, and she was a little surprised for a while.

Soon the main gate of the palace was opened, and Wang Wei, who was dressed in white, came to greet Liu Tai.

Wang Wei saw Liu Tai and wanted to salute, Liu Tai held Wang Wei, and then said, "Take me to worship my uncle first!" ”

Wang Wei nodded, Wang Mike was not buried in Linzi, but was buried in the ancestral land of the Wang family in Donglai.

Basically, after Wang Mi died, as long as Liu Tai didn't go out to fight, he would personally come over to sweep Wang Mi's tomb during the Qingming Festival.

Even if he went out because of the war, he would give an order and let Chu Yu let the officials deliver the gifts during the Qingming Festival.

Because if you are in Linzi, it is easy to take care of yourself, but the problem is that in Donglai, it is a little troublesome to take care of yourself.

If he didn't have a thorough etiquette, it caused the people to think that they had forgotten Wang Mi It was a trivial matter, but if Wang Wei didn't have a strong husband to support her, she would not be able to support the lintel of Donglai Wang's house as a woman.

When Liu Tai gave Wang Mi incense, Liu Tai said to Wang Wei, "It's hard work for you to keep filial piety in the past three years." ”

"The Wang family has no children, and it is already my blessing that I can keep filial piety for my father for three years." Wang Wei shook her head when she heard Liu Tai's words.

"I'm here this time to take you back to Guanggu City, and when I come next year, we will get married on a suitable date!" Liu Tai looked at Wang Wei and said,

"These days, you just pack up, bring whatever you want to bring, and when you want to go back to the Wang family next time, I'm afraid you don't know when you have to wait!"

"Hmm!" Wang Wei heard Liu Tai's words and said, "It's all up to my brother, and it's enough for me to bring only Qian'er and Qian'er." ”

"Where's your piano? Don't bring it with you? When Liu Tai heard Wang Wei's words, he was a little puzzled.

"I haven't touched the strings for three years, and my skills are rusty, so if my brother likes it, I'll pick it up again!" When Wang Wei heard Liu Tai's words, she said quite sincerely.

"It's okay, just follow your interests!" Liu Tai shook his head, "If you want to play the piano again in the future, when you return to Guanggu City, I will find a famous master to teach you, after all, it is a pity to lose the skills you have worked so hard to master!" ”

"Everything is according to my brother's orders!" Wang Wei heard Liu Tai's words and replied quite calmly.

And Liu Tai didn't stay in Wang Wei's house for too long, and set off the next day to bring Wang Wei back to Guanggu City together.

Of course, Wang Wei was not directly sent to Liu Tai's mansion, after all, it can't be as simple as Liu Yao accepting a sheep to offer his appearance.

I also need to arrange for Wang Sang to be my mother's family, and at the same time, the wives of the princes for half a year, the three media and six hires must go seriously, even if Wang Mi is dead, he will always help Wang Wei find all his elders.

Liu Tai arranged Wang Wei in an independent mansion near the Library Pavilion, where soldiers would patrol every hour, and it was one of the highest security places in the entire Guanggu City.

There is no way, because almost the entire Guanggu City books are in the library, and if something happens to this library, these patrols still need to intervene.

And Wang Wei did not object to Liu Tai's arrangement, because when Wang Mi died, Wang Wei knew her fate, and keeping filial piety for Wang Mi only pressed the pause button for her own fate.

Now that Wang Mi's filial piety has passed, he needs to face his fate.

It's just that what Wang Wei didn't expect was that the boy who was praised by his father at the beginning has now become the prince in charge of the three states, and sometimes it's incredible to think about it.
