Chapter 590: King Qin's Seaside Manor

Grain, salt, cloth and other important prices are reflected in this document, at present there are hemp crops in Guangzhou, and the whole Guangzhou and other places of sericulture and other industries are also very developed, but because of limited technology and other problems, Guangzhou's silk is not as good as the silk silk in the Jiangnan region and the Central Plains, and the quality gap is somewhat large.

Therefore, at present, the price and quality of Lingnan silk are very low, including when the Tang Dynasty court collects taxes, this level of silk has to be overcharged to make up for the tax.

Of course, this does not include the textile industry of Yuelai Commercial Bank, but all the things currently produced by Yuelai Commercial Bank, except for the sale near Chang'an, other places are mainly stored, and they are not sold to the outside world at all.

In addition to these, the population of Lingnan Province is only about 1.3 million, of which nearly 200,000 are in Guangzhou Prefecture, and the other 1.1 million are distributed in various parts of Lingnan Province.

The population is more than Li Ke imagined, probably because in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, the population of this place suffered from wars and deaths, and there are still a considerable number of people who have not been counted are those barbarian tribes located in the mountains.

There is also the relationship between the local wealthy lords and merchants, as well as their respective approximate spheres of influence, it can be seen that these messages are already very detailed.

After reading the whole document, Li Ke knew it in his heart, and Yuelai Commercial Bank had also bought a small high-quality iron ore near Guangzhou, although the reserves were not too high, but in fact, for the current Datang, there was no problem with this reserve for decades, in addition to high-quality limestone mines and coal mines, and there were many high-quality coal mines near Guangzhou.

The production facilities in these places have also been built, but they have not yet started production.

"Good job, have you finished gathering information about True Wax and Lin Yi?"

"It's been collected and it's being sorted out, because there aren't many things to trade, so we don't have much business exchange, but it's not difficult to collect their intelligence." Li Dai replied.

"Well, so be it, I'll take a look." Li Ke nodded with satisfaction, isn't Yuelai Commercial Bank, which he has developed for so many years, used to do this.

"Your Highness, the good beach you need, the minister has also prepared it for you, and the relevant houses have been built." Li Dai spoke again.

"Oh? That's just right, I'm still going to build it after I come, when did it start? Li Ke was a little surprised.

"It started last year, and it was Mr. Tian Meng who sent an order to say that Your Highness, you mentioned that you want a good beach, so I asked the minister to prepare in advance, and the minister has been taken care of by Your Highness for so many years, and there are not many things that can be prepared for Your Highness, Your Highness, you finally have a need for us, and the ministers should do their best."

"If you have a heart, haha, thank you for your preparation, then we can just live there." Li Ke said with a smile.

"Your Highness, you have tormented the minister, this is what the minister should do, the minister has built a small dock there, Your Highness, we can take a small boat to go there." Li Dai said quickly.

"Yes, you can." Li Ke nodded with satisfaction.

After coming out of Yuelai Trading House, Li Ke and the others returned to the ships in the port, and then changed to small boats.

On the way, Li Ke looked at this prosperous, at least 2,000 years of the port in later generations, and sighed a little, from the development of Guangzhou Port can also see that China has attached great importance to the ocean from ancient times to the present, but it is a pity that it is like more than a thousand years later, a lot of trolls on the Internet say that space is useless, and it is better to spend so much money every year, it is better to distribute it to the people and improve the lives of the people.

When the Qing Dynasty faced the ocean, why didn't it think so, thinking that the ocean was useless, the Qing Dynasty didn't need the ocean, so close the country and ban the sea.

Guangzhou field arose in the Qin and Han dynasties, during the Qin and Han dynasties, the Lanhu Lake in the west of Guangzhou was a natural haven, with a river channel to the Pearl River, and the Lanhu Wharf was also the most important inner harbor wharf in Guangzhou at that time.

In the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, with the southward movement of the north bank of the Pearl River, Poshan Gudu became the most important inner harbor wharf, and in today's Datang, the status of the light tower wharf on the west side of the Poshan Peninsula has gradually improved, and it has become the most important inner harbor wharf. In the later Song Dynasty, Guangzhou's main inner harbor wharf would be moved to Shibapu.

As for the external port, the most important outer port in Datang is Fuxu Port, which is the Huangpu Port in later generations.

Naturally, Li Ke's Qinwang docked here, and now their ships will dock from here to the inner harbor dock. It was not far from the beach they had prepared for Li Ke.

However, what Li Ke didn't expect was that when their boats turned to the inner harbor wharf, he found that in the middle of the river, there were many small boats patrolling back and forth, and the boats formed a separate entry and exit route from left to right with these small boats.

And in the middle of their way to the pier, they passed by the beach prepared for Li Ke, but this location was ...... If Li Ke remembers correctly, this should be the Dajiao Mountain Seaside Park in the future?

The King of Qin went down the river to the Inner Harbor Wharf, and the boat Li Ke and the others took went directly to Li Ke's seaside manor wharf.

After the ship docked at this wharf, Li Ke noticed that according to Li Dai, although it was a special wharf for his manor, the scale of construction was not small, and the King of Qin could not dock, but there was absolutely no problem with a small boat with a displacement of two or three hundred tons, and it could be docked casually.

"Your Royal Highness, a total of 4,400 acres of land around this beach are your Qin Wangzhuang, the ministers have helped Your Highness build the main manor building, and the other scenery has not changed on a large scale, and it has retained its natural scenery, and the ministers feel that Your Highness has come to Guangzhou, it must be more like the original scenery of Guangzhou, Guchen has not changed, if Your Highness has any preferences, the ministers have summoned craftsmen." Li Dai said with a respectful face.

"No, that's fine." Li Ke looked at the large dense and tall mangrove forest not far away, and said with some emotion, this thing is a national key protection object after more than a thousand years, and now it can be seen everywhere here.

On the right side of the pier is a long, white and unpolluted beach, and not far from the beach, Li Ke has already seen a lot of coconut trees dotted among them.

On the beach, a lot of antique, wooden pedestals covered with thatched pavilions dotted among them, this design, something ah, from a distance, this pavilion does not have any abrupt feeling, it does not adopt the traditional building eaves and other structures of the Tang Dynasty.

Changle and Li Yan, who got off the boat, were already full of joy.

"Your Highness, ships on the waterway are not allowed to approach in this vicinity, if any ships approach illegally, please be vigilant." Li Dai spoke again.

"I see. Let's go, go to the beach and have a look. Li Ke walked directly from the pier to the beach, not far from the pier is the beach, on the beach, Li Ke simply took off his shoes and walked barefoot on the beach.

The white and delicate beach is very comfortable to step on, although it is slightly hot, but it is very comfortable. The entire beach was free of any impurities, and Li Ke seriously suspected that this place had been carefully cleaned by Li Dai and them.

Tsk, put it in the afterlife, look at this private beach at least one or two kilometers long, how much does it cost?!
