Great Tang Idyll

Chapter 594: Along the river up from Shuzhou

Views:

The news received in advance made Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan very passive, hurried back to the yard and found the military map.

"A good place, the entire state has a population of four thousand. There are mountains and rivers." Zhang Xiaobao found the location on the map, then looked at the notes next to it, gritted his teeth and praised it.

Wang Juan was also a little dazed. He drew twice on the map with his hand, and then said: “The most important thing is that you don’t have to worry about eating cold drinks in summer. You can get it up the mountain. To the north is Minshan. I remembered whether this place is here. ?I’m even more fond of the thousands of miles of snow in Minshan Mountain, and it’s also close to Jiuzhaigou. Now I don’t need to spend entrance fees."

"In that way, Li Longji is not bad, knowing that land is difficult to walk, so I chose a waterway for us to go up the Yangtze River and get to the place directly. There is no need to transport taxation to the capital anymore, and transport 100 catties of grain to the place. You have to eat three hundred catties of grain on the road.

But I was wondering, Li Longji was short-sighted? Why are we transferred to Yizhou at this time? Just change to a place with a good foundation, and you can get a state that has doubled the tax rate in a year. There are four thousand people there and the climate is plateau. Do you want to see if our medical team is qualified? "

Zhang Xiaobao didn't even think of what Li Longji wanted to do. Even if he used people as a tool, it would have to be put in a more suitable place. Now that it is distributed to Yizhou, it can't play the full role of the Zhang family. Does he want to lead the four thousand? Come to get rich

Wang Juan is also worried about the climate there. From morning to night, the temperature difference is large, the mountains are many, and the humidity is very normal. Coupled with the prone to altitude sickness, a bad one will kill him.

Thinking of death, Wang Juan asked nervously: "Xiaobao, will it be Li Longji who is going to kill? Send us there so that we can’t adapt to altitude sickness and die directly in Yizhou, so that he doesn’t have to worry about what we do in the future. More things come out."

"He's not so confused yet. It's not easy to want to kill people. Arrange my dad to be an official in Yaozhou directly. If he is close to the capital, he will send soldiers to kill. Why should he arrange to go to Yizhou? Maybe he is also in a dilemma. Look, we don't have any medication for altitude sickness.

Tibetan rhodiola counts as one, and can’t make it. Don’t even think about the remaining few medicines. You have to make a pressure cooker. Otherwise, you have to eat fried and roasted things. Think about it. Just get there to see, but you can't suffer from altitude sickness. "

Zhang Xiaobao thought of a family of people, but fortunately, it is still Yizhou. If it gets to Tibet, it will be over. The only thing that can comfort him is that the place where the family used to live is also on the plateau. Although it is relatively short, I am afraid of being small. The guys are not used to it.

"So you have to go? Then there are butter tea and Danshen pills available. Do you want to make a sealed jar, put the person in it, and then pump out the air bit by bit like the air in the bulb? Let the inside form a low Air pressure? Exercise ahead of time." Wang Juan asked.

"Go, isn't it because there are few people? Don't be afraid, there is the real emperor of the mountain high and far away. The medicine is well prepared, the exercise is unnecessary, and the equipment is not good."

Zhang Xiaobao really doesn't believe in this evil. Isn't it just the place, the conditions are almost the same, and the population is small.

When Wang Juan saw Zhang Xiaobao's decision, he put the map away, and suddenly remembered something very important, "Xiaobao, the people there seem to be difficult to deal with."

"It's okay. Ethnic issues are not a problem. As long as they eat, as long as they wear clothes, and as long as they are still sick, they can communicate. At the beginning, there was no ethnic group. They were just apes living in various places. If you count by region, where was the original Central Plains? It's just that big place."

What Zhang Xiaobao cares about right now is not the affairs of a certain ethnic group, but how to develop in the place, which seems not so easy.

After the two people discussed it, they found Old Man Bi to give an answer. Li Longji seemed to mean the same thing, discuss it first, or the news won't be released.

"Grandpa Bi, my family agrees, let's go to Yizhou, but Yizhou is a Xiazhou, my father's grade..." Zhang Xiaobao, who saw the four old men, began to make demands.

Old man Bi and the others thought that Wang and Wang’s family would find a way to get rid of it, but they did not expect to agree so quickly. After calculating the situation there, they said: "Little treasure, rest assured that when you get there, your father is still in charge of military and political affairs, and There are even higher official positions that can only be promoted, not lowered."

Zhang Xiaobao curled his lips. There were about 4,000 people in total. They might not be able to control them. Wouldn't they be a unified military and political force? Is it possible to send another record in the past to join the army? And have other official positions been allocated? It is estimated that when you get there, you will be able to see a few officials who have been assigned.

It was more dangerous than Luzhou, and the officials who were assigned were nine dead.

What Zhang Xiaobao was depressed was that the prescription was handed over, and the benefits he deserved were not exchanged. This must be mentioned, and it makes people uneasy not to mention it.

"Grandpa Bi, let’s talk about it first. It’s different from other places. My family needs to bring a lot of fine iron this time. Otherwise, we can’t even make farm tools. In the future, the price of local well salt will be too high. Choose a salt pond around Haikou, and transport salt to Yizhou is not allowed to be intercepted."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, as long as your family can build the road there, and the four-lane road is good, that's a great achievement." This time it is the guarantee of old man Yao, and he is also yearning to build the road.

"No, I don’t want this great work. I can’t afford to repair it. Grandpa Yao, don’t you know what’s going on there? I really want to fix that road. All the money my family earns every year will be used for repairs. In ten years, it may be possible to build a road connecting there to the capital with two carriages.

But what's the use? The purpose of road construction is to facilitate transportation and make the place rich. If my family takes out 30 years of profit, it is better to directly give the money to the locals. It will not be used much every year. When the road needs to be repaired, there will naturally be some people. Will think of a way. "

Zhang Xiaobao was taken aback by what the old man Yao said. He knew exactly what was going on there. It was repaired with stones. After a few heavy rains, it should be bad or bad. Cement was not suitable there. There was no asphalt. Isn’t it a pitfall? Why not build a Sichuan-Tibet four-lane road? The credit is greater.

If you cross the Himalayas and build a four-lane road that can be directly connected to Nepal, it may also facilitate international exchanges, nonsense.

Zhang Xiaobao's answering so happily made the four old men feel incredible. Don't Zhang Wang's family like building roads very much. Where Zhang Wang's family is located, they mostly help build roads first. How can they be timid when they mention Yizhou

"Xiaobao, does your family have any plans for Yizhou?" Liu Zhirou has been interested in this matter since he saw that set of Shuzhou construction plans.

"Yes, my family's first plan is how to live to the place, four grandpas, this is not to be an official in glory, and it is no different from hair distribution. How difficult is it to go upstream along the Yangtze River? You can't give up the waterway and go overland. More finished."

Zhang Xiaobao expressed the dissatisfaction in his heart. If it makes people feel relaxed, maybe it will be sent to Mohe next time, where it will be convenient to make ice lanterns.

Zhang Xiaobao clearly expressed his meaning, and hurried back to the yard with Wang Juan to make arrangements. The four old men stood there not knowing how to speak.

Especially Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao, who had previously agreed to arrange Zhang Zhong to Luoyang and also took other people's prescriptions. Now the situation has changed, and they always feel guilty when facing Xiaobao and the cuckoo.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who returned to the yard, were not idle either. They were leaving soon. It is estimated that Li Longji will not wait until tomorrow, otherwise the news will not be passed on now. It is likely that the appointment will be down in the summer.

The business has not been spread out here. If you have built a good place, you must first recover the investment. Even if you leave, you must first stabilize Shuzhou’s business. When Yizhou does build roads, but not the road to the capital, But the road to Chengdu will cost a lot of money.

Zhang Xiaobao is counting on Shuzhou's profits.

Taking out the commercial map of Shuzhou, Zhang Xiaobao pointed to one of the places. “Here, build a leather processing factory. When the pigs raised in the homes of the local people are slaughtered, the pig skins are concentrated here for processing, and sausages, hams and hams are built in the counties. Bacon processing plant.

Sausages are sent to nearby places, ham and bacon are sold far away, and pig hairs are also left, used to make brushes, as are poultry, and then sent to Sanshui County to be processed into down jackets and duvets. What did not expect? Help, think about it, it's too urgent. "

"There are also fish and crabs that are bred to increase rice production, but they should not be wasted. The meat is dried and a corresponding processing workshop is established. The shells and bones are ground into powder, which is used as bone meal and mixed with others. The crop is feed, which can be sent to the Yangtze River, which is the south bank.

Cooperating with them, I believe they will be willing. In addition to local commercial activities, do you have to send out a few boats along the river and make arrangements in front of you? The two families, let alone Grandpa Bi and the others. "

Wang Juan followed Zhang Luo and concurrently served as secretary, writing down what the two people thought of.

"Yes, you have to send someone out first. The waterway is not easy. If you don’t need trackers, you don’t need to. The zero team will send out twenty people to adapt to the weather. It’s better to find more people before you leave. There is only Team Zero. Taking advantage of the distance from the capital and the special place, expand the seedling protection team to be regarded as the periphery. Please keep it confidential."

Zhang Xiaobao didn't want to suffer a loss, he had to take advantage of the opportunity to make up for the loss.

Ten days later, the three boats carrying the first team of King Zhang’s family were on the road. They were filled with salt. Even if there was well salt over there, they had to be decorated. After all, the price of salt there is high, and four thousand people have to eat salt. Life is not easy.

In addition to salt, there are cotton cloth, which are used to make clothes for the locals, and iron blocks. When they get there, let the locals strike iron as tools, or make hunting bows. In other words, let the people see hope. This is good. Support Zhang Zhong.

One by one workshops began to be built, and the imperial court’s will was spread to the state capitals around Shuzhou, and people were transferred from other places to take over the official positions of the Zhang and Wang family when they left. Now many places still use the internal offices of the two houses. hospital.

When the toad's cries resounded through the rice fields, Zhang Zhong's order finally arrived, and Li Xun was also ready to travel, and rushed to the courtyard of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan with his guards.
