Under the deliberate arrangement of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, the distance between the 10,000 soldiers coming from Qianzhong Road and the local people is gradually shrinking. Although it cannot reach the level of actively working hard for the local people, it can be regarded as no longer rejecting the local people. The soldiers did construction work.
Then Zhang Xiaobao began to buy a large amount of pottery from Changning County. After all, the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce did not cooperate with the person sent by Zhang Xiaobao. One was that Zhang Xiaobao was always unreliable, and the other was the request mentioned by the person who sent it. As long as the contract is signed, the future pottery of the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce will not be allowed to be sold in the northern part of Hebei Province.
If you want to sell, you need to contact the people of Zhang Wang's family and let Zhang Wang's family sell, and at the same time be responsible for transportation. If you are not responsible for transportation, you have to let a portion of the profit.
The people from the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce came from Silla. The places in northern Hebei Province except the Khitan people are the Silla people. How could they hand over the right to sell goods in their hometown
The people sent by Zhang Xiaobao asked other people to make pottery to sign the contract. It was the same as that mentioned by the Thousand World Chamber of Commerce. The people who were found later did not have that much thought. The distance to them in the northern part of Hebei Province was still It was too far away, one by one happily signed the contract, and sent the first batch of goods to the river, waiting for the ship from Jilizhou to be transported away.
It didn't take long for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to receive a batch of pottery, take the waterway, and pack them. Even so, one-fifth of the pottery was damaged when they arrived.
Zhang Xiaobao did not distribute the first batch of pottery to the people in Jilizhou. It was not distributed enough, and there were too many people. The first batch of pottery that could be used was only 50,000 pieces. At least it has to be a set.
Zhang Xiaobao used 50,000 pieces of pottery as gifts and gave them to powerful people in the surrounding area and further north. The family gave a few sets, and used the remaining pottery to buy the coastal land next to Jilizhou, so he bought one. By the sea, local fishermen are not restricted from going out to sea to fish.
The restrictions are on trade vessels coming from other places. Any cargo vessel that wants to dock must be approved by the state.
Such a place can be obtained because there are very few trade ships. If anyone has a ship, they are unwilling to go to the poor place of northern Hebei Province. Usually small trades are carried out by land, and people who are willing to take risks come here. People make transactions.
What Zhang Xiaobao has to do now is to wait. After the people who have received the pottery show off to others, more people are willing to go to Jilizhou to buy enough, and they are also waiting for the people sent to the north to tell the specific situation in Mohe. Pass it back.
Don’t look at the distance to Mohe as the distance from Jilizhou to Jiannan Road. The road is very difficult. You need to find a place to supplement food and water, and you need to fight with wild animals. Going north is farther and farther, and when I get to Mohe, it is estimated that winter is almost coming, I don't know if the people sent out can bear it.
Zhang Xiaobao, who seemed very leisurely for a while, not only exercised himself, but also spent more energy on his younger brothers and sisters, teaching them, and Wang Juan was in charge of all military affairs.
Wang Juan really asked people to create a bunch of big swimming pools on the beach, and pour the saturated seawater in the salt pans into them, and let the two camps who take turns training to swim. In fact, many people can swim, but they are not standardized. .
One of Wang Juan’s goals is to let people exercise by swimming. Different swimming styles can exercise muscles in different places, and increase lung capacity. More importantly, they will travel from here to North America in the future.
After discussing with Zhang Xiaobao, she found that it takes too much effort to get to North America from land. Russia is not only cold, but the road is not easy to walk. It is better to walk along the beach and bypass Silla to move forward. If you encounter sea ice If it is sealed, let Zhang Hu train the dog more and use the dog to pull the sledge.
The dog must be found in a cold place. The hotter the dog, the more unusable it is. Who knows how much effort it takes to make the dog work in the snow.
The swimming training program is determined in this way, not only to swim now, but also to swim in the future, even in winter, so that it can increase the resistance of the 10,000 people from the south to the cold and prepare for a year later.
…
As a pottery supplier, Changning is also working hard now. The next batch of Jilizhou requires too many goods. If you don't prepare early, you will have to pay compensation for delivery.
Li Yu has been living very comfortably recently. A lot of taxes have been collected from the yamen, and all the welfare plans have been implemented.
The plan before Li Yu today is to find a place in Changning County where the road is unobstructed to dig a hole, preferably a place with clay, a deeper hole, and then prepare to draw a river over to form an artificial lake in the big hole. .
Why did he do this, he still didn't know, but Zhang Xiaobao said, he was going to follow the arrangement and bring the little insects over to ponder the deep meaning of digging a pit and building a lake.
"My lord, I can't guess. Is it possible to build an artificial lake and put a cruise ship on it?" Every time Xiao Chong faces Zhang Xiaobao's plan, he is very helpless. He doesn't expect to go beyond, as long as he can learn more. Just fine.
"Follow him, dig first." Li Yu thought that the usually very smart bug could guess a little bit, but when he saw that the bug looked uncertain, he was going to do it first.
Choose a good place on the map to make it easier for people to dig, give more wages, so as to have good food, now the labor force in the county is not easy to find, the people have things to do, don’t expect to spend a few words of wages Let alone come and do it for a day.
People in the surrounding counties have also moved to Changning County, and the number of migrants still cannot meet Changning's labor demand.
While Li Yu was instructing the digging of the pit, many small cargo ships came from the river that led to the water, and one ship carried the cargo from the big ship on the big river to Changning. The sacks were not big, but very heavy. People who can usually carry two hundred catties of grain carry a bag of goods to the limit.
"Prince Li, the river on your side is too small, you have to find a way to expand it, otherwise it will delay things." Xu Si came to the boat, and he greeted Li Yu as soon as they met.
Li Yu heard about something from Jilizhou, and then ran to the river to greet him. Listening to Xu Si's words, he nodded seriously and asked, "What is it?"
"Salt, the worst salt." Xu Si was talking, and motioned to a transporter to put down the bag, take out a knife, and cut open the bag directly, sprinkling large black and yellow grains of salt inside.
When Li Yu saw it, his brows wrinkled. The salt was too bad. At first glance, he knew that he hadn't handled it properly. He bent down and picked up a pill, chewed it hard in his mouth, and vomited it again. , There is sand in it, bitter and astringent.
He spat a few more mouthfuls, "Is this what Zhang Xiaobao sent here for the people in the county to eat?"
"No, it's used to pour it in the lake. By then, I will know that one is Li Gongzi who bought the salt at a bargain price, and the other is my little one who uses salt to buy shares." Xu Si explained.
