As the "Famous Capital of Huaizuo", Yangzhou Jiangdu Port once again ushered in a somewhat broken ship.
With the stepping down the boat, the imperial court recruited Wang Xiao, who was born in the sky, and he didn’t really feel relieved until he set foot on the land again; because this place is already Yangzhou beyond the reach of the grass thieves. The land boundary.
No matter who it is, as long as he survives the pursuit and search for several days and nights, he will inevitably have similar thoughts. The rescue he got during the chaos in the city was only the beginning of this nightmare that lasted for several days; then his hiding place was under the scrutiny and attack of the grass thieves who kept coming to the door, like a frightened bird. Tossing and changing in the constant escape.
In the end, desperate, he could only panic and follow the last few people in the city to wait for the ship to go out to sea; but his bad luck was still not over, and he encountered the interception and interrogation of the grass thief cruiser; if not for the sea power of those grass thief It was too weak, and only had time to intercept several other ships running away, and the smallest ship he was on was a fish that slipped through the net.
Therefore, after experiencing such hardships and setbacks, he can't help but regenerate some old habits in his bones; he can't wait to find some good female performers to carnival and have fun, so as to alleviate the frights and frights he has received. tired. And he happened to have a few old acquaintances in the local area.
It's just that he came to a cabinet run by the powerful and powerful in Beijing, and prepared to use the tokens to extract some wealth for use. However, while drinking tea in the hall, what he waited for was not the silver cake and pine pattern gold on the plate, but a few soldiers brought by a Tsing Yi official.
"In the Xiajiang Metropolitan Inspector Cui Zhiyuan, I heard Wang Xiaolangjun coming,"
The other party was quite polite.
"Please also go with a certain mansion to make the best of the friendship of the landlord..."
Afterwards, Gao Yue, who was already the Yamen from Zuo Moxie in the Huainan travel camp, and Liang Zaimou, who is a salt and iron transporter Yamen push officer, also received corresponding news and inside information; the process was also very simple, and several empathetic people were recruited. The female performer urged her to drink, and after being drunk, she would be able to speak everything if she tapped on the side.
It's just that the news they received made them both can't help but look at each other in amazement, and said in an angry voice full of pain.
"Guangfu has changed again? The grass thieves are fighting for death and injury..."
"Did the virtual monk win in the end... It's really unexpected."
"Hate the Nie family descendant, the best way to hide and pretend, it's really an exaggeration..."
"At the end of the day, I paid a lot of money to hire me. Is this the result in the end..."
"Why can't we eliminate evil and do everything, so that he can get out of his life and finally get this big bargain..."
In the end Gao Yue is still
"This can't be done. I have to go to Aweng to punish me. I definitely can't make this slap safe."
However, in the view of Jiangdu Linyou still surrounded by cigarettes, Gao Yue couldn't help being disappointed again; I saw that the Huainan Jiedu envoy who had cultivated more and more bones and spirits and also the southern Xingying Dutong and Jianghuai transfer envoy Gao Pian, But it is a slow voice that does not move:
"This Wang Qilang, please accompany him to spend some time in Huaiyang Land..."
"Other relations and joints, I will report it to the Ming court... I will ask the saint to break it..."
After the disappointed Gao Yue retreated angrily, a voice sighed.
"Why did you make this statement..."
It was his new favorite alchemist Lu who spoke impressively. He touched the rare ancient jade in his cuff and continued to speak directly.
"Huaizhen has always been rich in troops, rich in resources and rich in people, and there are emperors who are the mainstay in the southeast. Is it possible to let the thieves of the mere Guangfu..."
"Lu Sheng's words are very bad,"
Gao Pian tucked his beard and shook his head.
"Huinan is known as the elite soldiers and sufficient food, but it is not a privately owned public weapon of the country; no matter how many armies are there, is it possible to still drive for a certain body..."
"Furthermore, the court did not accept advice and missed the opportunity to break the thieves. How could it count on the dead bones of my self-cultivation in a view, the more I will repair it on my behalf..."
Of course, in fact, he had also read those demon books and songs that slandered the court that flowed out of the Cantonese government; but he was deeply awake in his heart and couldn't sleep for several nights.
He still vaguely remembered that although he was already in his old age, Wang Bo's song "Wuxiang Liaodong Waves Death Song" in the last years of the previous dynasty, sang the story of fifty-six roads of dust and smoke, and the story of eighteen anti-kings who lost the trip ; However, the court has often received few graces from those who have done meritorious services, so in this world, isn’t it the first to seize the authority in the hands of one’s own family
You must know that the various interests of the court in the huge Huai Town are intertwined, and your own foundation and influence are not as deep as outsiders imagine; except for the left and right Moxiedu who moved with you, that is, those who retreated and surrendered. The thief department can still be used.
Even if he intends to kill the thief, it is no more orderly and banned than in the township navy. Therefore, when the gangster ravages the Jianghan and the southeast board, he would rather converge and intercept the local wealth to recruit new pawns. They are also unwilling to rely heavily on local towns, large and small, with their own systems. But this consideration is really not clear to people.
. . . . . . .
And in the pavilion above Fanshan Mountain in Guangfu, Zhou Huaian and the women in the family are eating the local Gu Donggeng which is tonic during the winter solstice. It is also known as "snake stove", which is a southern characteristic similar to the later Cantonese hot pot. ；
Use a special red peat stove to light the charcoal and put the disintegration (ie casserole) on the charcoal, use the white soup boiled with fish bones and shrimp as the base, brush into sashimi, dace balls, oysters, chicken kidneys, squid slices, sashimi slices , Pork loin slices, duck vermicelli, beef louver, beef slices, pork liver slices, chrysanthemum, tofu, yellow bud white.
Its characteristic is that it is fresh and multi-flavored without any seasoning, and the more you eat, the more complex flavors you have. People can't stop sweating as soon as they eat it. And this time the title came out to climb Fanshan to eat the stove, this is also to celebrate a few things that happened during this time.
The first is the first major event of the newly formed South China Sea Shipping Association, which is to concentrate all the members’ contributions and donations. In the Lingnan coastal area from Chaozhou to Annan Jiaozhou, lighthouses will be built in high-profile and important places to guide and guide ships at night. For guiding purposes.
The material of the lighthouse itself is based on stone masonry, and bricks are used as the tower body and the lamp room to effectively combat the seasonal typhoons in the South China Sea; daily burning of grease or charcoal is the light source, and the polished gilt copper iron tire concave surface is used as the reflection and Focus.
It is expected that more than 30 lighthouses, large and small, will be built. Tens of thousands of people will be employed and it will take about four or five months. The average cost of each lighthouse is about 800 yuan based on the fluctuation of local prices and labor costs along the way (7). One hundred thousand dollars) to one thousand yuan (about nine hundred thousand dollars);
In the more than a dozen lighthouses near Guangzhou and Jiaozhou, the cost of labor and materials is lower; it may be reduced to five or six hundred yuan (about four to five million yuan). Although it seems to be laborious and costly, it needs to be divided into several periods to complete.
However, for many ports in the two places where Haimao's shipping business accounts for the main input, it can increase the seaworthiness and traffic capacity at night on the basis of the existing large enough ship flow, which saves time and operating costs. The reductions in the above are all obvious price-performance bonuses.
Therefore, even if a navigation fee is levied on these routes in the future, it is easy to recover the construction and initial operating costs within a few years.
Secondly, in cleaning up the warehouses of the early trades and trades, we found thousands of barrels of wine that were damaged due to poor preservation. When preparing to discard them, we found that the almost volatile bottom was condensed with a thick layer of stone lump. Like a hard object; then Zhou Huaian, who happened to be there, gave an emergency order to be recovered
The same thing as this stone lump is tartar, which belongs to the calcified crystals of wine or other fruit wines deposited at low temperatures; in this era, it is also a medicinal formula for treating stomach diseases; and tartaric acid can be obtained with a little processing. An important component of later anesthetics and emetics;
However, if you add antimony trisulfide to tartaric acid, you will get a special medicine for schistosomiasis—potassium antimony tartrate. The effect of this thing is too big, it can be compared with the special products such as three-season rice. A big killer on par with the technology tree. Whether it is early or late symptoms, there is a very high probability of cure.
China is the world's most important source of antimony minerals, with the largest reserves of antimony minerals in the world. There are more than 4 million tons of antimony ore reserves on the earth, and China accounts for 84% of the world's production. In particular, the antimony ore reserves of the Xinhua Tin Mine in Hunan are large and high in quality. It is also distributed in other places such as Guangdong, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Sichuan;
The antimony trisulfide is a natural antimony ore crystal, which can be directly calcined to obtain a white powder; as early as 3,200 years ago, there was a makeup eye shadow powder made of antimony trisulfide during the pre-kingdom of Egypt. In the Qin and Han dynasties of China, it was called Lian Tin because it was a companion of tin smelting; together with mercury, lead, tin, and copper, it was also one of the ingredients of the ancient alchemists' alchemy.
According to the "Book of Han? Shihuo Zhi": "Wang Mang lived in and changed the Han system, and the coins were all made of copper, which was confused with Lianxi." "Records of the History" recorded: "Changsha came out of Lianxi". The Qin Dynasty arrow unearthed from the tomb of Qin Dynasty contains antimony components by spectrum analysis. Therefore, it is not too easy to obtain antimony trisulfide in this era. Maybe it is available in that drugstore.
With this kind of special medicine for schistosomiasis, the biggest problem to be faced in the ancient development of southern Yunmeng Daze, Jiulong River Plain, Honghe Plain and other water network swamps was naturally solved; Looking at this question, it is the culprit that has plagued ancient China for thousands of years of farming history, and caused countless people's blood and tears;
In ancient times, in the face of schistosomiasis spread by snails in waters and marshes, it was almost in a state of helplessness that was not understood and difficult to prevent; it could only accumulate slowly in the past dynasties through the use of human lives for generations to come. And open up land and environment suitable for human settlement;
Therefore, it was not until the Ming and Qing Dynasties that the Huguang area where Guyunmeng Daze was located, did it accumulate enough results to reclaim the fields and drain the marsh lakes, and become a large granary for the so-called "Huguang mature, the world is sufficient"; It is not the result of chance.
However, schistosomiasis itself did not gradually get away from people's vision until after it entered the People's Republic of China, after the unified environmental transformation, biological control, and drug elimination and other multi-pronged treatments. But until the modern society of the 21st century, the shadow of schistosomiasis occasionally resurrected in a small area around Dongting Lake.
But anyway, there is a secret weapon in hand; in the future, once it enters the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River where Hunan, Jiangxi, and Jingnan are located, it will become one of the important confidence and evidence to win the hearts of the people and create popularity. After all, this kind of parasitic disease treats you equally no matter whether you are good or bad.
Furthermore, there have been breakthroughs in cash crops and industrial mining.
In fact, the main pearl producing areas in the South China Sea, such as Hepu, Yashan and Lingshui, are actually under the control of the Rebel army; therefore, it is easy to develop experimental pearl oyster cultivation by means of embankment and enclosure. Field, and has achieved some success;
The next step is to experiment and promote the technology of pearl cultivation, that is, to bury the specially polished calcium carbonate pellets such as sea oyster shells into the mother of pearl oysters to give birth to pearl embryos in a short time.
Although pearls belong to luxury goods and high-end medicinal materials, they are still promising products in the foreign market associated with Guangzhou.
At the same time, the monks from Baolin Temple finally arrived at the Quncheng Post outside the city. (End of this chapter)
