Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are very satisfied with the recruitment of 130,000 people in Jilizhou, although this population is really not worth mentioning compared to the future Dalian.
It’s easy for someone to do things, and all the children rush to the school. This is no longer a school, but a big school. The students who have been urgently transferred from the capital come to class.
The young and strong set aside a part to build docks and docks. Pieces of mountainous land were divided. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan provided tools for logging and planting. As long as the wood felled from the mountain was given to two people, the money for the tools and seeds would be paid. .
The people are not allowed to burn wasteland and waste wood by themselves. If there are any limestone and diamond mines, the Yamen will send people to take care of them. The people who occupy the land will choose another place and the Zhang family will send people to help build it.
The 130,000 people who came over did not care about whether officials in Jilizhou would be corrupt or whether the environment was polluted. One by one, charcoal-burning kilns were built to burn charcoal for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, otherwise the loss of the two would be too great. Big.
Xue Canjun came over this day, and he thought of a good idea to help Zhang Xiaobao reduce his financial loss.
As soon as he entered the door, before Zhang Xiaobao had someone serving tea, Xue Canjun couldn't wait to say to Zhang Xiaobao: "Sir, there is a way to make Jilizhou bigger?"
"Oh? But occupying someone else's place?" Zhang Xiaobao thought that Xue Canjun wanted him to merge the neighboring states by force.
"No, no, it doesn't occupy other people's land, and it can also become a state." Xue Canjun showed an unpredictable look.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't say a word, and waited for Xue Canjun to continue talking.
Xue Canjun coughed lightly and said: "Adults, the only way for the younger ones is to order the local people to move mountains and fill the sea, fill one foot, and then another foot. Relay digging the mountains and relay filling the sea. When the time comes, the mountains can be cultivated. , The bank leader can even farm, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"
At the beginning, Zhang Xiaobao really thought that Xue Canjun could come up with a good idea. The result was a reclamation of land. If Jilizhou is an isolated island with many hills and a large population, Zhang Xiaobao might consider reclamation, but Jilizhou is here. No matter if it is now or in the future, there is no value of reclamation. As a trading port, it is useless to fill so much sea.
What's more, if you fill in too much, the military port will be filled. It is not easy to find a natural military port.
"My lord, how?" Seeing Zhang Xiaobao's silence, Xue Canjun asked again.
"Well, the idea is good, but there will be a lot of trouble in doing it, which can be left to later." Zhang Xiaobao did not directly deny Xue Cengjun's idea. He was afraid to dispel his enthusiasm. There are more good ideas that can be used.
Xue Cenjun also heard it, slightly disappointed, holding up the tea bowl and sipping tea.
"Xue Cengjun, you have worked so hard with things in the state. I wonder if the new people can make trouble?" Zhang Xiaobao changed the subject and asked.
"Dare they? Give them food and wear. If anyone makes trouble, they don’t need to take action by the yamen, and the people next to them will clean up. Now there are actually people from other places sneaking over to find the yamen and want to become naturalized. Even if they can’t get food, they are willing. They are busy, and there is still a lot of land in the state, and it is still idle, so it is better to put it out for them to cultivate.
That’s... It’s water shortage. I want to cut down the trees. It’s not enough to make a terraced rice field. It’s troublesome. There is only one big river in the state, and there are many mountains, so I can’t lead it to other places. "
Xue Canjun seemed very embarrassed.
Zhang Xiaobao has also considered this issue. Don’t look at the sea here. There is also a lack of water. Sea water can’t be used for watering. He pondered for a little while and said, “Then grow beans. Beans are still okay."
"The little ones think the same way, so will the later people be settled? The tools they cultivated don't seem to be complete." Xue Canjun agreed with Zhang Xiaobao's ideas and planned to get some tools from Zhang Xiaobao.
"Go, get the tools in the yamen, and send them to the people who will later tell them that children in the family can also go to school for free. There is no major issue in the state, and Xue Cengjun has to worry about the people's livelihood."
Zhang Xiaobao didn't want to focus on this aspect, and the inner courtyard at home was almost supervised.
"Yes, yes, adults, young ones will go first." Xue Canjun has a lot of things, he always wants to use his power, no matter the big or small things, he is ready to participate, see there is nothing else , Got up and said goodbye.
Seeing Xue Canjun leave, Zhang Xiaobao began to think of things.
After telling the story to the younger brothers and sisters, when Wang Juan came back from the class, Zhang Xiaobao hadn’t cooked yet, and continued to think about it. For Zhang Xiaobao, under normal circumstances, there is no place where it can’t develop. Has its value of existence.
"The reason for the rapid development of Dalian is that it exists as a window for foreign trade. As more and more trade occurs, people from various industries have come to Dalian. They want to find'gold' here. How can they? Turning this into an important trading port now is a problem."
As soon as Wang Juan entered the room, he saw Zhang Xiaobao holding his head in his hands, listening to him muttering.
"Xiaobao, the trading port does not appear as it wants to appear. It needs to appear with the development of the general environment. At this time, there is no such environmental foundation. It is better to think of other ways. Just lead the seawater to the salt-deficient place.
For example, we are drying more sea salt here, so let’s sell sea salt when the time comes. One boat can hold a lot of it. It is a lucrative business to make a salt farm by the sea. "
Wang Juan felt that Zhang Xiaobao's horns were sharp, so he persuaded him.
At this time, many coastal areas have learned to dry salt. Even if Luzhou keeps secrets, a large amount of salt is transported as a commodity to many salt-deficient places, allowing officials in coastal areas to take advantage of it. At this time, the sale of salt is not enough. Under the control of the court.
Jilizhou hasn't appeared here yet, so Wang Juan wants to use it, although the sunshine here is not as good as that on Lingnan Road.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded: "Think about it, let me think about it again. Since it can't become a trading port, then we must find a way to become a transfer station for goods. We can be a trading company and use our own fleet to transport. Just take up all the sides."
"Then you think about it slowly, I'll cook for Xiaobei and the others." Wang Juan saw Zhang Xiaobao insisting, but did not object, and turned to go to the kitchen.
"Let’s, together, don’t delay thinking about cooking. I made kelp for Xiaobei and the others today. It’s actually a good way to grow kelp, but no, how does kelp grow? Seeds? Branch by yourself? Let pomegranate research. , She is now very proficient in nurturing."
Zhang Xiaobao walked with Wang Juan.
"Of course, the pomegranate is now grown in flower pots, but it’s not growing up. I am worried about it. I transplanted dozens of plants to the field, but the result was all rotten. During the field investigation, she was determined to plant it. Ginseng." Wang Juan praised Guava's research spirit.
…
When Zhang Xiaobao was worried about the ratio of input and output, many people were scared by him.
Li Qingying and Zhang Xiaobao from Daxingcheng wrote to the court to attack each other. Both of them walked to the official post. Zhang Xiaobao didn't use pigeons, and pigeons were precious.
The difference is that when Zhang Xiaobao’s memorial passed by the staff, the officials saw that it was Zhang Xiaobao, and he immediately sent it to Zhongshuling. Zhang said that when he saw Zhang Xiaobao’s memorial, he went to Gao Lishi without saying a word. Gao Lishi delivered to Li Longji's hands.
Li Qingying's memorial went into the hands of a servant in the staff department. The servant made a serious reply and wrote back a letter, asking Li Qingying to send witnesses to Beijing with him, and write more details about the matter.
When Li Longji saw the letter, he knew that Zhang Xiaobao had completed his 30,000 conscription plan and added 130,000 people to Jili Prefecture.
The matter of conscripts was raised above the court.
The officials were all dumbfounded. If this was not from the emperor’s mouth, they would not believe that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were “distributed” to a poor place where there were no people, and they immediately went through operations there. It has a population of 130,000.
Ministers, look at me, and I will look at you. I really don’t know what to say. Is it possible that people with ability can't even suppress the emperor's suppression
The person with the most complicated mood is Zhang said. At the beginning, he wanted to burn the memorial sent by Zhang Xiaobao, so he thought it was nothing, but he understood that he could burn memorials from the official post, but not those flying in the sky. Pigeons, that's not his control.
Seeing Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan recruit 30,000 conscripts in Jili State, this is a very strong impact on his recruitment system. If it is really feasible, his recruitment system will be over.
Seeing the emperor’s proposal at this time, he wanted to let the ministers discuss it, so he had to say first: "Your Majesty, the ministers thought that this strategy of the governor of Jilizhou Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who joined the army, may not be feasible. People support it, and you can’t learn it elsewhere; both, 30,000 sergeants have three meals a day, and the meals have meat. If all the troops in Datang go to learn, the meat supply is insufficient, and the cost is even more expensive."
Yuan Qianyao, who had always been inconsistent with Zhang, also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Mr. Zhang's words are not bad, and the Jilizhou model is not desirable. You can only do it first with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Only when they find a better way can they promote it with Datang."
Yuan Qianyao objected, and soon let the rest of Datang follow the example of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, but didn't say anything, let Zhang Xiaobao think of something better.
Li Longji was just asking. Although Zhang Xiaobaoxin mainly mentioned the issues of conscription and population over there, it was nominally that Li Qingying's sergeant in Daxingcheng pretended to be pirates.
Li Longji still doesn't think that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan deliberately fabricated a fact in order to get some people. It must be Li Qingying who was sent out because the population was rushed.
But this couldn't be investigated, so the ministers had to discuss it again, and the result was naturally no result.
Li Longji sent a decree to Zhang Xiaobao and Li Qingying, and ordered the two to work together to encircle the pirates and keep one side peaceful.
