Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 747

[Chapter 372 The Encounter in the Great Ocean]

With a slight spring chill, the team of Zhang Xiaochuan and Zhujuan left.

Without the old Luzhou, it is not a place where people can go. If you go to the northeast, it is estimated that it will take at least three months to get there.

Xiaobei and a group of little guys followed. This time they could see the sea. They had no impression of the sea. Even if they were born in Luzhou, they would not be able to stand on the beach and watch it for a few months.

Old Man Bi and the three of them didn’t follow this time. They really couldn’t afford it. What’s more, they also knew that the population of Jili Prefecture was small, and there were naturally few people who farmed the land. It was very likely that they would struggle to eat there.

The fleet took the Cao Canal, entered the Wei River, crossed the Yellow River, and rushed out from the Bohai Bay.

“This is the sea? Why don’t you remember? Xiaobei was standing on the deck of the bow, looking at the vastness of the sea.

“It wasn’t like growing up back then.

“Xiaoyuan found the reason.

“Now that you are not too old, it is convenient to eat seafood.

Xiaobei likes to eat seafood. Usually, other people ship it by boat, and the cost is relatively high.

“I don’t eat sea fish, it’s fishy. Xiaoyuan wants to stick his head out to see where the side of the boat is in contact with the water, don’t expand the guard and hold it mercilessly.

Xiaobei is much more stable, let the sea breeze blow his head, and say: “The river fish is Fishy, earthy smell.

”

“Sea fishy.”

”

“The river is fishy.”

“”

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn’t have the heart to see Haixiao achieve their goal, and were finally arranged to Dalian, but Dalian was not called Dalian at this time, and it was not as prosperous as in the future. It’s even worse than that.

The only way that is better is the way of marching when Goryeo was destroyed, but that has nothing to do with Jili Prefecture, and no one will send troops from Jili Prefecture.

“Xiaobao, then Since the demographics of the side are not complete.

Look, in one state, there are only 400 households recorded in the pamphlet.

More than 1,100 people, no matter how few people are.

Neither can this.

”

Wang Juan laid out the materials that needed to be used there, pointed to a piece of data and complained to Zhang Xiaobao.

“It’s not easy to do this, let alone here. Even if we take it, who can say that we can master all the population.” Zhang Xiaobao drew a picture on a picture. If this place in Dalian wants to be exhibited now, it is impossible to repair it. If the road cannot be repaired, then the only way to go is by sea, and you need to find a suitable place to build a wharf.

Wang Juan gathered up the documents that he had read as well as he had not read: ” That’s right,

we’ll talk about it later. The population problem is really a hassle, so transporting people from other places?”

“It’s probably difficult to transport people from other places. In Shandong Yun, there are not many people in Benchzhou, Shandong, and a large area of land is placed there. Who wants to come? Later, the population of the Northeast was large, in fact, most of them were immigrants from Shandong, but not now, people from the south of the Yellow River There

are a lot of people, but they won’t come.”

Zhang Xiaobao has nothing to do with the population. There are quite a lot of slaves bought from Tubo, but they can’t be shipped here. , that is ordinary people, not to mention that when they leave, they will be handed over to the next one.

Wang Juan said deeply: “Indeed, people in the south can grow grain twice a year, and even further south, it is three crops a year. Who wants to come to the northeast where there are only one crops a year, there are still few people, but the resources here are A lot, but I haven’t started thinking about it before and after the reform and opening up. Northeast Heavy Industry supported the industrial system of most of the country.”

“Yes, especially Daxing City, which is not too far from our Jili Prefecture, that is, Dandong, The cars are better built over there, and they provide support to the front line, but now they can’t.”

Zhang Xiaobao also recalled, and then said: “The main question now is how to open and sell special products in Dalian. The tourist area is estimated to be No way, people would rather go to Luzhou than come here, we can’t find so many service staff, let’s build one and enjoy it ourselves.”

“That’s called heaven and earth.” Wang Juan gave a name.

“No, what is that place, not good.” Zhang Xiaobao objected.

“It’s not good, everyone Xiaobai said that we will meet in heaven and earth, and there is an unfortunate emperor, the one who wrote the words very well, corresponding to “I don’t know if I am a guest in a dream, and I am greedy for a while.” “The flowing water will fall and the flowers will go away, and the heaven and the earth” are called the heaven and earth.”

Wang Juan was not willing to reject the good name because something happened to someone else’s use of this name.

“That’s called heaven and earth.” Zhang Xiaobao really didn’t know how heaven and earth came to be like this. Seeing Wang Juan’s insistence, he agreed, and then said, “Did you see Xiao Li’s expression when he arranged for us to be officials? , just like Xiao Bei and the others took advantage of it, the emperor let him be.”

“I see, he thought he finally got our hands on us this time, but I actually think he is very pitiful, and he lied to him at first. Is it a good ranch, as for thinking about it so much.”

Wang Juan covered his mouth and smiled.

The fleet continued to move forward. When they were about to reach the place, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan brought out new clothes for their younger brothers and sisters. They were thicker than when they were in the capital. It was still cold here, and the spring breeze was penetrating.

A few days later, when it was time to dock, trouble came, although this place can be built into a very good port.

But now there is no ready-made.

Zhang Xiaobao started to look for Deep Water Bay according to his memory. The fleet that came out was a sea boat, and Repulse Bay could not come ashore. The ship also brought a lot of supplies that were too small to be transported. Zhang Xiaobao did not want his younger brothers and sisters to live in shacks like the locals.

At this time, there were also a few fishing boats floating on the sea that were casting their nets and fishing. They stopped their movements and covered the pergola to watch. I had never seen such a large team, even if there were occasional cargo ships passing by, or earlier There were warships, and

I saw more than a dozen boats like hills with wheels on both sides. The sails on the boats stood like forests, and they approached in a slanted line.

It looks majestic.

“Dad, where did this ship come from?” A young man in his twenties on a small boat was frightened, and asked the person standing at the stern with a trembling voice to cast the net in his hand and park there.

“Don’t be afraid, the boat from Datang must be Datang.” The person who was asked was also vaguely worried.

The fleet of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not fly the flag of the Tang Dynasty, only the flag of the rice seedlings. The communication here is not as small as that around the capital, so the local people have no idea which side the messy flag represents. .

“Send a small boat to check the reliable shore, hit the boat, drop the anchor, and lower the sail.” Shang Baojian, who was on the boat, could not continue to move forward, so he gave an order, and immediately someone started to put the boat, and the cat on the boat was also put into the water. Zhang’s sail fell, leaving only the mast standing there.

Xiaobei hurried back to the cabin, and then ran to the deck after a while, with a telescope in his hand, and looked towards the fishing boat.

“Send someone over to appease the people. Remember to speak well. This place is no better than the area around the capital. It’s not the banks of the Yangtze River. The people of Wuxu still don’t know who we are.”

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan already knew the situation here when they came over , here are not all the people of the original Tang Dynasty, it is very mixed, there are people from Silla and people from Khitan, but they may not be as obedient as they used to be in various places. Maybe they listen on the surface and cause trouble in secret.

Standing next to Zhang Xiaobao, Wang Juan also looked at the fishermen who were fishing there with binoculars, and asked Zhang Xiaobao, “What can you see when they look at them?”

“What? I didn’t see it, I only saw curiosity. And a little bit of worry, they didn’t find any hostility towards us.”

Zhang Xiaobao understood what Wang Juan meant by asking this, but just wanted to see the other party’s attitude.

Wang Juan took a closer look and said, “I’m curious now. That’s because they don’t know who we are, and they’re worried that we’ll hit them. We have a lot of ships, and they’re still big. If they wait for them to find out that we are theirs. Local officials, they may not be like this again, will they fight or not?”

“How can it be as scary as you said, they didn’t rebel when they took office, can they still rebel now? This place has an advantage, That is, there is no need to pay any tax to the imperial court, and even the tribute will be saved.”

Zhang Xiaobao does not intend to use force to solve the problem as soon as he arrives. When it comes to communication, it becomes easier.

“Brother, the emperor’s uncle really said no taxation. When he came, the emperor’s uncle didn’t mention this.” Xiaohai, who was standing beside him, raised his head and asked Zhang Xiaobao.

Only then did Zhang Xiaobao react, patted his forehead with his hand, and said, “Yes, he didn’t say anything about it, normally he doesn’t need to pay it, even if he pays it, it’s only given to the governor’s mansion here, and the number is still very small. No one is forcibly recruiting, oh, if he has to wait for us to show it and send things to the court, it will be troublesome, no, I have to think about it,

“I guess Li Longji has this idea, he wants to use us to come When the point of the breakthrough came out, it was no wonder that we had to bring more people with us. It turned out that we were afraid that someone would be bad for us.

”

Wang Juan also wanted to understand, sighed and said: “Li Longji is not stupid, he plays a good small abacus, well, this is Li Longji, he did not let me down.

Zhang Xiaobao also thought in a daze, and said after a while: “How many people are here this time? The six hundred seedlings of the two teams, no, not enough, I think Li Longji will let us think about it when we stabilize. The method is to use the same transportation route from here to the capital.

It must be, and it is estimated that we will help to build a good road to facilitate the transportation of troops. If this is not possible, send letters to Sanshui County and Huayuan County immediately, and temporarily dispatch them. Five hundred good yamen will be sent here, and they will make up their own.”

Zhang Xiaobao thought about the international situation, and finally found that there are a lot of things to do this time around.

It seems that not only should the local governance be well managed, but also a secret war with those who are just around the corner.

“Also transfer Zhang Ying and Zhang Hu, they are needed here.” Wang Juan added.

The pigeon with the letter flew hard towards Sanshui County, to send the order there as soon as possible.

Check where the suitable boats were scattered, and another small boat was carrying a maid from the inner courtyard, who was sent to Wang Min’s side, and a woman was sent to talk.

The fishermen were very alarmed when they saw the boats approaching.

Seeing that there is a girl like a fairy above, I let go of my worries slightly.

“This old man, this eldest brother, is this where Ji Lizhou is located?” the maid asked.

As soon as she spoke, the boy immediately felt embarrassed.

Not knowing where to put his hands, he grabbed hard on his own pants, nodding but not speaking.

“Old man, seeing my son like this, I immediately understand what’s going on. There is no such beautiful girl to be seen here. My son was shy at this time, so he had to come forward and reply: “It’s Ji Lizhou, where did the girl come from?

”

Beijing, accompany my little son and little lady to take office. My little son and little lady will hold office in Jili Prefecture in the future, and then the old man will need a lot of support.”

“The maid said with a smile.

The scumbags next to me also heard it, but they didn’t understand what it had to do with us when you became an official. Whoever wants to be whoever is, how can we support it? Maybe it’s because you want us to give something. The

maid was also afraid of being misunderstood by others, so she immediately said, “I’m just waiting for something, don’t object, let’s help together

. “Is it for nothing?” There is a Wang Min who doesn’t care whether the maid is beautiful or not, the more beautiful the woman is. The more you can’t get close to yourself, you don’t care what that person does.

“Naturally, it’s not for nothing. How can people work for nothing? I wonder if this eldest brother can tell me how much I can earn from slag in a day?” The

maid wanted to know the income of Danmin here.

Wang Min on several small boats didn’t understand how they could make money. All the fish that was brought in was exchanged for things, and the ones that couldn’t be exchanged were eaten by themselves.

The old man said to the maid, “Where is there any money, fishing can still make money, just change some rice and noodles, sometimes no one is willing to change it.” The

maid understands after thinking about it, the population here is small.” Fish. And there are not so many kinds of seasonings when eating fish, so naturally no one wants to eat it.

So I started to draw cakes for the scumbags. You can also make money, and you can do other things with spare money at home.

” When the

fishermen heard the maid’s words, they didn’t react violently, and they didn’t even feel anything, because they didn’t believe that they could make any money by playing down, and they would be content if they had enough to eat.

In order to prove the credibility of what she said, the maid took out a string of copper coins from her sleeve and said to the scumbags: “It just so happens that my little son and little lady want to eat fish, why don’t you sell the fish to me, one copper coin two Jinyu, as much as you have today, here’s the deposit.”

As she spoke, the maid threw the string of copper coins at the feet of the shy young man, and there was a slight movement when she touched the board.

The fishermen’s eyes lit up this time, it was real copper money to buy fish.

“Do you really want to buy fish? One copper coin and two catties? No regrets?” That Wang Yi just now confirmed in disbelief.

“Of course I want to buy it, I have already given the money, how can I regret it? Let’s call it first, and I will send someone to pick it up later. My little son and little lady have always been good to the common people. If you don’t believe me, find someone to ask about the Zhang family in Sanshui County. .” The

maid said affirmatively, and mentioned Sanshui County again.

As a result, all Danmin looked at a loss. They had never heard of Sanshui County, nor did they know the Zhang family.

The people who are light people don’t know, so they don’t think about it anymore. Now the most important thing is that the fish can be sold directly for money. It’s really not easy. leave.

Waiting for the maid’s boat to go away, the living people watched the shy young man pick up the copper coins just now, and felt like a dream, suddenly a lot of big boats came, and then a fairy came down, and then the fairy wanted to buy fish, use Kaiyuan Tongbao buy, what happened today?

“Dad, money. The young man didn’t dare to take the money himself, so he handed it to his father.

The old man took the money and said to the other people who were jealous: “Put the money with me first, and it will fade away. After the money is finished, it will be counted. , this is only the money, and there is still a lot of money.

”

Others listened to the old man’s words, and began to spread out. They went to their respective positions to play hard, hoping to play more. This is money. It’s hard to trade fish for things, but it’s not hard to buy things with money.

Rich people are stupid .

.

After playing for a while, the people on one of the boats seemed to have good luck. They went down several nets, and each net brought up a lot of fish, which was rarely the case before.

Feeling happy, the people on this boat swayed the boat to the old man’s side and said to the old man, “Third Master, do you think they really came here to be officials? Those maids are so beautiful. I don’t know what’s inside. How about the little lady.”

“Go, go, catch your fish, do you still want to hit someone else’s idea? A hundred heads are not enough to chop off, so you’ll know when they come.” The

old man hit Wang beat less, and waved his hands impatiently to chase people away.

The escorted person laughed, moving slowly to the side, and then said: “Third Master, they are here, what about the original official? The original official always comes to us to collect things, and if you don’t give it, you will snatch it away. Yes, I heard that Mr. Li’s family has a fortune of 10,000,000.”

This person may not know how much the ships in the fleet in front of him are worth, let alone how much the people on board have. very many.

The old man squinted his eyes, “Where are the Wan Guan, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com, if you grab that little thing, you can get Wan Guan? What else can I do? The new one arrives, the original one will go down, hurry up, if you don’t leave, I will go to your place to fight. Wang, I’ll leave it to you here.”

“Don’t say goodbye, I’ll go back right away, I’m just worried that the newcomers will be more ruthless than the original ones. The original subordinates are only about a hundred or so people. Look at this newcomer. , a group of big boats can’t beat them, but they are stupid, they even bought fish with cash.”

The man was talking, fearing that his position would really be robbed, no more words, he shook the boat and went back, mouth He seemed very happy humming an ugly tune.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also released more small boats to go into the sea to catch light. Unlike Wang Min here, who has a net and a net, they are two boats together, dragged with a large net and a weight, and the net used is cotton and linen. The mixed net is stronger than the normal net, and it is not afraid that the larger fish will break the net, and even if it is broken, it will still trawl the net to catch the slag.

A group of two boats, after dragging for a while, dumped a net of fish on the boat, and immediately someone began to clean it up. Very fast, the quick-handed person cut the internal organs with a knife, and the iron thorns brushed two or three times to remove the fish scales, and threw them aside to stab Some of the fish can still move when they are in the middle.

This is all because Xiao Bei wants to eat a whole fish feast.
