Chapter 220: Expansion of the port

When Jiang Yushan saw Jing Yan, he leaned over to worship, and let Jing Yan hold him up: "Uncle don't be polite, let's talk in the house!" ”

Jiang Yushan led the way in front, and everyone talked as they walked.

Nameless said: "The master can be regarded as here." If you don't do it again, your subordinates will go looking for you. ”

Jing Yan smiled in his eyes: "What, are you still too idle?" ”

Nameless touched the back of his head: "That's not it. He paused and said, "It's been idle for a long time, but it's actually quite uncomfortable." As soon as the words came out, everyone laughed.

Yan Shushen was embroidering in the back hall, and heard the maid report that His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived.

She was so shocked that she pricked a needle on her finger and screamed in pain. However, I can't care about such a trivial matter now.

Hurriedly got up and tidied up, and went out with the maid.

As soon as I walked to the moon cave gate, I saw my husband leading a pair of extremely outstanding young men and women over.

There was a red lotus on the woman's forehead, and she was born with the fragrance of the country.

There is still a baby in her arms, and she thinks that she is the queen's sister who her husband's family has never met.

So he cleaned up his clothes and expression, and stepped forward to salute: "The courtiers see Your Majesty, Niangniang, and His Royal Highness the Prince." I've seen Doctor Qiu! ”

Jiang Yuqing held the child in one hand and held her up with the other: "Sixth sister-in-law doesn't have to be polite, family, just be casual in the future!" ”

Jiang Yushan also said: "My sister is a very easy-going person, you can rest assured." ”

The group arrived and entered the inner hall. Yan ordered the maid to bring tea and snacks, and sat down to talk together.

After a few words of greeting, Yan hurriedly went to the back hall and arranged a courtyard for everyone.

Fortunately, the backyard of the Xiajiang County Ya is not small, with five small courtyards.

It is more than enough to arrange two courtyards for Jiang Yuqing and them alone.

This is thanks to the bastard chief of Xia Jiangdao during the former Ligu Dynasty.

That guy is a very lustful woman, and he used the money he scavenged to raise a yard of beauties.

Because there were too many women to live in, they kept expanding the yard, and as a result, the yard was expanded to its current size.

After settling everyone, Yan went to ask her husband what Niang Niang and His Majesty liked to eat, and she arranged for the kitchen to cook.

Jiang Yushan said, my sister and His Majesty are not picky eaters, they are hearty, and they don't waste it.

It's just that the little nephew is there, and my sister instructed me to be sure to steam a bowl of egg custard for him, the little guy loves to eat it.

Yan answered and went to the kitchen.

For lunch, it is still mainly seafood.

Jing Yan mixed rice with egg custard and fed him a whole bowl with a small bowl dedicated to Yiyi.

Jiang Yushan was rare, and said: "Little sister, Yiyi can eat better than when you were a child!" ”

Jiang Yuqing was very proud: "That's not it, I was still nursing when I was as old as him, and he was already weaned." You can't eat much now. ”

Yan was immediately surprised: "Your Highness was weaned at such a young age?" ”

Jiang Yuqing smiled and said, "It's not small, he's been ten months."

In fact, the nutrients in breast milk will slowly decline after ten months, and gradually it will not be able to meet the needs of the child's body. At this time, it is necessary to add complementary foods.

I thought that the little one would be able to eat, so I simply weaned him off. It's also great to feed some milk every day. ”

Of course, she was embarrassed to say it, and another reason was that a certain domineering guy simply didn't want his son to take advantage of his welfare anymore, and protested in her ear every day.

Yan naturally believed in the words of Jiang Yuqing, the sister of the divine doctor.

Thinking about the little nephew of his mother's family, who is more than two years old and still drinking milk in the nurse's arms, he can't help but think about it.

After eating, Jiang Yuqing went back to the house to rest. Doctor Qiu continued to tinker with the herbs he had picked on the road.

Jing Yan went to the front office to talk to Jiang Yushan about things.

The little guy asked his six uncles to take him to the front office.

It's strange to say, but a little bit of a big little bean, every time his father takes him to talk about political affairs with others, he talks for a long time, and he doesn't cry or make trouble.

is such a boring thing, even Jiang Yuqing has to fall asleep when he listens to a few more words, but he listens to it with relish.

Even Jing Yan, who is always serious and indifferent, can't help but smile at the corner of his mouth when he mentions his son. Say, this kid is a natural emperor.

The next day, Jing Yan summoned the Lidong prefect, Tongzhi and related personnel, and two days later discussed at the Lidong County Ya next door.

So, on the tenth day of the first month of September, the prefect of Lidong Prefecture, Tongzhi, and Lidong County Commander and Jiang Yushan gathered in Lidong County to hold a small court meeting.

The topic of discussion was the expansion of the port of Lidong.

The port of Lidong Mansion is in Lidong County, close to the Xia River, which is a rare deep-water port.

Jing Yan said that next year, the imperial court plans to further expand and repair the two dilapidated seaports left over from the original Liju Dynasty in Linan Mansion and Lidong Mansion.

It is used to strengthen the economic and trade exchanges between "Lisanfu" and the southeast coastal and inland areas of Daxia.

After the expansion of the harbor, the high-quality specialties of "Lisanfu" can be directly transported to the southeast coast by ship through the port.

Or through the estuaries of major rivers directly upstream into the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Similarly, the high-quality agricultural products and silk porcelain and other cultures in the Central Plains can also be quickly imported into "Lisanfu" by sea.

In this way, it not only saves time and effort, but also greatly reduces the freight cost, so that the goods in the north and south can be further circulated.

Because it would cost a lot of silver taels to renovate the two harbors.

Before going to Libei Mansion, Jing Yan would have to hesitate again and again to make this decision.

Now that he has the treasures of King Ligu, he can do it freely.

In fact, after getting this batch of treasures, Jing Yan told Jiang Yuqing about his plans.

Jiang Yuqing agreed. She still said that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. The construction of maritime trade routes is also indispensable.

Now that there is an outlet to the sea, of course, the establishment of the "City Shipping Division" is also indispensable, and its chief officer becomes particularly important.

This year is the second year that Jiang Yushan has served as the county magistrate in Xiajiang.

Jing Yan planned to wait for his three-year term to expire, and then transfer him to Lidong Port to serve as the director of the Municipal Department of Lidong Port.

This is an official position from the fifth grade, Jiang Yushan immediately thanked him, saying that he would definitely live up to his grace. Other officials are also very envious.

Of course, people have a backstage, but it is undeniable that people's own abilities are placed there, and jealousy does not come.

Making this decision, Jing Yan also thought twice.

The city department is a fat and oily department, let someone else be the chief official, every day to see such a large amount of money flowing water, as the days go by, it is inevitable that he will not move his mind.

When the time comes, instead of raising a bunch of moths to cheapen others, it is better to let the Jiang family sit in this position.

At least they are pure-minded, not greedy or corrupt, and only serve the people.

After the meeting, in the afternoon, Jing Yan and Jiang Yuqing, accompanied by officials, went to Lidong Port for inspection.

At this time, in the dilapidated port, there is a long queue of ships waiting to dock to unload.

Merchants from all over the country complained that the port was too dilapidated, dilapidated and small.

When will the imperial court be able to repair this port? A few more berths would be nice.

On the wharf, the passengers coming and going from the south to the north, the laborers carrying the bags, and the vendors who set up stalls to sell things and shout, people come and go, and it is very lively.

Jiang Yuqing asked the Lidong County Commander to bring the map, and gave his own opinions and suggestions according to the docks he had seen in his previous life.

During the expansion, in addition to adding corresponding berths, the supporting infrastructure also needs to be improved.

For example, a large warehousing and logistics center is essential.

In addition, a commercial block will be set up, which will include clothing, food, housing, transportation and other aspects, so as to better serve the merchants who come and go here.

These two alone could add nearly 10,000 jobs.

Of course, it is also necessary for the Ministry of Industry to send professional personnel to inspect and then carry out detailed planning.

Seeing the impatient eyes of the officials, a cold light flashed in Jing Yan's eyes.

If you put it directly, don't think about buying land around here now and waiting for appreciation to reap the benefits.

These land countries will unify the planning of the city, and after the specific plan comes out, they will conduct a unified bidding for the society.

As soon as these words came out, the officials who originally thought it would be profitable suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on their backs.

Thinking carefully in front of the emperor is really a lard blinding heart.

Although he is benevolent today, he has never been soft when dealing with corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

After being beaten this time, all the officials stopped thinking one after another.

After the meeting, Jing Yan sent a letter to the capital. Let the Ministry of Industry transfer suitable personnel as soon as possible to inspect the ports of Linam Province and Lidong Province.

By the end of this year at the latest, he will see a detailed plan.

The day after returning to Xiajiang, guests came to the house.

It is Jiang Yushan's father-in-law's family.

Yan Xuezheng heard that His Majesty and Niangniang were coming, so he hurriedly rushed over with the whole family.

First, I came to meet this noble in-law, and secondly, I thanked them for saving their son's life.

Jiang Yuqing is easy-going and unpretentious, so the two sides talked very happily.

During the meal, Jiang Yushan's eldest brother, the eldest son of the Yan family, saw the queen mother personally feeding His Royal Highness the Prince.

And Yiyi also ate in a big gulp, and ate sweetly. After eating, he sat on a chair next to him and played with toys, without crying or making trouble.

Look back at my terrible son who is more than two years old and still pestering the nurse and making trouble for milk.

The eldest brother of the Yan family's face suddenly turned red with shame, so he glared at his wife fiercely.

The sister-in-law of the Yan family also saw the gap between her son and His Royal Highness the Prince.

Obviously, His Royal Highness is so much younger than his own son, but he is so free and independent.

Once upon a time, her husband asked her to wean her son, and she always dragged it on the grounds that the child was still young. The mother-in-law also said similar things, and she was bypassed by all kinds of reasons.

I always think about my son's exquisiteness, what's wrong with two more years of milk, she is willing to spoil her.

Now I see the performance of His Royal Highness, the only noble little highness in the world, and I see the eyes of my husband reproaching her.

Her little caution instantly deflated, and her face was flushed with shame, and she was almost sitting on pins and needles.

No matter how noble her son is, can he still be more noble than the prince?

Therefore, when she left her sister's house, the sister-in-law of the Yan family almost fled with her son.

On the carriage back to Fucheng, Brother Yan once again mentioned the matter of weaning his son, and this time the sister-in-law of the Yan family finally did not object anymore.
