Chapter 30: Digging Deeper
Sweet zongzi dipped in soy sauce and then eaten with salted duck eggs Jimo old wine, Zhang De's taste made a group of friends who came to visit him flee from the wind.
"Brother Zhen is done?"
"Liu Shili's old man, after grinding for several months, he will not make trouble after all." Li Zhen took a sip of cherry juice proudly, picked a few fresh mulberry fruits and stuffed them in his mouth, and after eating with black fingers, he looked at Zhang De, "Da Lang, those workers in the capital should also disperse, right?" ”
"I'm afraid that I will hear about it, Your Highness."
"The princess has never been mixed with mundane things, and there are no variables."
Li Zhen is very determined, but Lao Zhang's expression is very complicated. Seeing that Zhang De didn't respond to him, Li Zhen raised his head and blinked: "Brother Xian, you ...... Your Highness and His Highness Changle ......"
"Innocent."
"Huh......" Li Zhen shuddered, "It's good, it's good." ”
With only these two sentences, even the mulberry fruit doesn't feel delicious. At this time, there were no mulberries in the south, but on some waterfront slopes in Henan Province, mulberry fruits grew later. And because of the different climates, the mulberry fruits in Shandong and other places are as narrow as purple bean insects, which are particularly cute.
Zhang De rolled his dead fish eyes while eating, very helpless: "It's just that so-and-so is in Taiji Palace...... He was also drunk and scolded. Your Majesty favors His Royal Highness Changle, and if I withdraw the glass workshop, I am afraid that there will be trouble. Again...... Brother didn't know, now there is news from Chang'an, His Royal Highness Changle has also added three or five thoughts to such mundane things. ”
What the heck?! Lao Tzu finally put Liu Shili's old bastard in order, but now he wants to expand production and fish, but he encountered a peaches that went down the mountain to pick peaches?
The princess is amazing!
Li Zhenxin said that she was just a princess. Dare to compete with his top alternate king-level father?
After thinking about it carefully, Brother Li was stunned. No way, Princess Changle is different from other princesses. Her brother is the crown prince......
"Isn't it that I'm waiting for a busy time in Qizhou. Are you all busy in vain? Li Zhen blinked, very unhappy, "Brother Wei has already agreed with those Hu businessmen a long time ago, Tuguhun is destroyed, and the west out of Yangguan is a gold and silver avenue!" ”
“……”
In fact, Lao Zhang doesn't understand a little bit, how can there be a son like Li Zhen, who is a candidate for a king-level bull, and has a very complicated relationship with Li Dong and Li Dong's father? !
Originally, Zhang De wanted to complain, but suddenly remembered his eldest cousin. Suddenly I felt that it was still my own pattern. What is the alternate king? There's also a king-level son here who sends his sister.
"In the land of Yizhou, there are also mineral sands. Brother, don't be impatient. ”
Zhang De calmed Li Zhen, who was a little restless, and then said, "I want to set up a new glass factory in Yizhou, although Qizhou is good, but it is in vain that the Turks of Tugu Hun and Western Turks will not be destroyed." ”
The quartz sand in Yizhou is also very rich, and 1,500 years later, Lao Zhang is in the place where soy sauce is made. It's a coastal province next door. Then that province has the world's largest glass factory, and then, the raw materials used in that glass factory are all from Yizhou.
Except, of course, at that time for rail transport. There is also the extremely terrifying sea transport. The wharf is Jiaoao Shaohai in Jimo, Laizhou, which was later renamed Jiaozhou Bay......
Fifteen hundred years later, of course, you can choose to go to Laizhou, but this is the Tang Dynasty. And it's the year of Zhenguan. Without rail transport, everything is in vain.
Therefore, Zhang De wanted to take out the goods from Yizhou and sell them to Jiangnan or Silla Baekje, Japan. You have to go through Shushui and the Grand Canal. However, this route only allows the goods to be sold to Jiangnan in large quantities. The Grand Canal is not opened by his family, not to mention the layers of checkpoints, and the annual regular and quantitative commuting is not to mention, just how to settle the Suzhou city envoy is a big problem.
Yes, that's right, Yu Chang is his own person, and Yu Shinan can't take care of it anymore. But the problem is that Li Dong wants to clean up people, he doesn't talk about evidence, he relies on feelings.
Li Dong feels that his income is less, and he will wonder, why? Why is the growth rate of our domestic money declining by one percentage point year-on-year?
This must be a system problem!
If there is a problem in the system, we must be held accountable, and the chief official in charge of the matter must be arrested. Then Yu Chang, the envoy of the city, may be taken off as a matter of course, of course Yu Chang will not die, he will go to the prison or the Ministry of Works, any bullshit department, and then be ridiculed for his father's literary level is so high, but you can only be an engineering dog......
Therefore, the welfare of Dong Li's side belongs to one of Lao Zhang's operating costs.
Therefore, in order to increase the income of the broad masses of the people, and in order to swing the hoe that digs into the corners of the imperialist wall as fast as possible, Lao Zhang must take a detour.
And the roundabout place must be a matter of people's livelihood.
As a conscientious imperialist youth, Lao Zhang saw that the embankment of the river flowing into the sea for hundreds of miles had not been reinforced, and he was very unbearable, so he widened it, dredged it, and strengthened it by the way.
Then Lao Zhang saw in Haizhou that Yuzhou in the East China Sea was far away from the mainland, and the people in Shazhou were living hard, which was really heartbreaking. Grateful for the emperor's grace, Zhang Caozhi called on the Yishang China Resources to reinforce the seabed, and also built a luxury hardcover wharf connecting the mainland to Donghai County, which can dock thirty or fifty thousand-stone ships at one time.
Such a noble sentiment must at least be replaced with a thirty or fifty years of priority right, right?
As for why the ships at the mouth of the Shushui Sea will sail to Denglai or go south to Jiangnan in the future, that is another story.
In short, the masses of the people will remember Zhang Dalang's righteous deeds, and that is enough.
It takes at least one year to train a qualified old glass-blowing driver. Last year, Zhang De's scene in Chang'an also trained less than 300 qualified workers. Moreover, as far as these 300 workers are concerned, their talents for free play are relatively backward, and more often they still rely on a few good models to blow there.
Although glass is not a valuable item, it is not cheap. According to the market in Baekje, Lao Zhang estimates that after two or three years of cheating money, he will directly hit the low price. Of course, it is impossible for this thing to enter the homes of ordinary people in small countries, and ordinary people in Chang'an have a little hope for pickles in glass bottles.
", you know about the phase?"
"yes, got it."
Zhang De grabbed a handful of mulberries and took a bite. Then he said, "I've also seen Fang Xiang." ”
Li Zhen was stunned. Then he got up and sat cross-legged beside Zhang De, and said in a low voice: "I will return to the capital from Qizhou." When I met the adults, I only said three things. My lord, let me talk to you. ”
"Which three?"
"First, Du Gong is about to officially recover."
Du Tianwang is still participating in politics, but he has no real position, and the situation is the same as that of the eldest grandson Wuji. The only difference is that the chances of the eldest grandson Wuji reappearing in the rivers and lakes are not big at present, mainly because Du Ruhui did not die, and the market in western Liaoning is very good, the so-called military victory consolidates political prestige, and Li Dong does not need to go shirtless to brush his prestige to the top. There is no need for an uncle to come out to consolidate the political map.
If nothing else, according to Li Dong's current momentum, if he can live to be sixty or seventy years old, except for the extremely sassy name of Tian Khan, the richest and most powerful emperor in human history, he will not run away.
Of course, for engineering dogs, this situation is not to be seen, so the imperialist corner has to be dug hard.
"That's what it should be. Du Gong has been participating in politics for some time. The previous public promotion of the position of Dali Siqing shows his ability. Besides, Uncle Shi will soon deter Longyou, and the DPRK and China will naturally have a name to complement each other. ”
Kill Tuyuhun, the general manager of the march is either Li Jing or Li Tao. And those who came out to help beat Fu Yun together must have been Zuo Xiaowei's people.
As for whether there is Hedong Xue's involvement, it depends on whether Li Dong rewards his face or not. Xue Wanche Xue Wanjun wanted to climb to a suitable position to bless the three generations. At least he has to play an important role in the destruction of the country, and if he doesn't fight, there is no hope of comparing it with Zhang Gongjin's current market.
Xue Wanche was taught to be a man by Zhang Gongjin. It was all a coincidence, and Zhang De humiliated Xue Dingwei in Chunming Tower. That's intentional.
Who told Xue Dingwei to stand next to Li Tai at that time? As one of the nine lackeys of Xuanwu Gate, the people of Zhang Gongjin's family will definitely not be able to have any fun among the princes.
Of course, if Zhang Gongjin fell out with Zuo Xiaowei's people, and did not become the governor of Xiangdu's mansion, and played with Her Royal Highness the princess every day at home, then of course there would be no problem at all. Zhang Daxiang has no problem with Li Tai to get a base, and he guarantees that there is nothing at all.
"The second is that in the autumn of this year, the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate will use troops against the Western Turks."
Well?!
Such a militaristic event tells me such a young man...... Not quite right?
However, theoretically speaking, the use of troops by the Anbei Protectorate against the Western Turks was at most friction in the border areas. Maybe it's a peacekeeping operation, or maybe it's the mediation of some public security incidents, and it's not known that the main armed personnel are the chengguan of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate.
"Why?"
"Grassland."
Well, for good reason.
However, Lao Zhang can imagine that this is definitely the personal selfish desire of Wei Chi Lao Mo, in order to make a little more money in this big capital protector seat, and then return to Chang'an.
As a big protector, if he doesn't make money, he will be sorry for his conscience. Anyway, the exploiters are all barbarians, and there is a kind of going to Chang'an to sue Lao Tzu.
Besides, even if a small tribal chief who is not long-sighted really goes to Chang'an to find the support of Tian Khan, doesn't he have to fight far away? As a member of the Turkic Golden Wolf family, of course, the king of Li Simo, who was once a member, must educate the turtles on the grassland to know what is called "Zi Yue" and what is "poetry cloud".
"The third thing is that the fangs are in rebellion."
"Fangren rebellion? What are the chances of this? ”
Zhang De was puzzled, the first two things, Li Tao told Zhang De, naturally he was able to make Lao Zhang make a lot of money. It's just that this fangren is making trouble, basically it will be done at two ends in three years, what cave lord mountain lord lord lord Tuwang chieftain thinks that he is no good, so he will make some big news and see if the emperor can appease and appease.
Of course, the fangs sometimes make a lot of trouble, but most of the time they are playful.
When the Tuyuhun people were hung up and beaten the year before last, the party members made a fuss with them, and they also found the fangs to make trouble together, but they ran into Li Dong, who was in an unhappy mood, and Li Jing, who took the initiative to take the blame.
In short, Li Jing, who was wool pickers, divided five by two, was purely unilaterally crushed. Later, there was actually a group of cattle who surrendered to Cheng to form a righteous servant, and they went to beat the remnants of Fu Yun.
"How is there no chance? To the west of Gangnam Road, there are many living lands that have never been cultivated. It's just that this birthplace is the place where the fangs grow, and it is really not easy to open up the wasteland. In the past, white sugar was selling hotly, but now it is a child, and he also knows that this white sugar is inseparable from sugarcane. ”
"Growing sugar cane?"
What the hell are you kidding me? In those places where the fangs live together, the whole is mountainous, west of Jiangnan Province, and the Han people already account for the majority of the population, how can the fangs have the right to speak?
It's just that Li Zhen didn't seem to be joking, so Lao Zhang pondered: Li Tao is not a fool, Li Zhen may be a fool, he is not a fool, then Li Tao must hope that he may be a fool's son to convey a potential news to himself who is not a fool.
"Hmm......"
Lao Zhang racked his brains and even thought about it, and said secretly: Could it be related to the candidate for the head of Pingfang? It's likely that Uncle Li is going to take a walk? But Uncle Li, who is the ambassador of Longyou Dao, doesn't go to Longyou to go to Shannan, it's too unscientific, right?
"Hmm......"
Lao Zhang continued to rack his brains and milk, and thought: If a person like Li Er is appointed, it is estimated that no one will dare to be modest. So if Uncle Li really went to Pingfang, wouldn't he have to help develop artemisinin extraction at room temperature? Otherwise, how could the Tang army abuse vegetables on the territory of the fangs?
Besides, although the history of engineering dogs is not solid, I also know that the Tang Dynasty once did this thing. Anyway, this Nanzhao seems to have something to do with Yang Guifei's family? But this is not the point, the point is that Lao Zhang suddenly remembered that if he really killed the fangs, there would be a lot to be done in the south to develop this big cause.
The establishment of the Zhang Caozhi Medical Award must have been because it saved the vast number of Tang troops from diarrhea, fever, and vomiting in the south.
However, extracting artemisinin at room temperature is a more difficult process than racking your brains and milk. And I don't know if Li Tao really runs away to kill the fangs, whether he can get benefits from this war.
For example, timber along the river, such as slaves, such as mining rights, such as the management of medicinal materials, and so on.
"Hmm......"
Lao Zhang groaned for the third time, which made Li Zhen very entangled, and then looked at Zhang De with a blank eye: ", what does this mean, my lord?" ”
Ouch, Brother Zhen, you're not stupid.
However, of course, Zhang De couldn't tell Li Zhen that your father might go to the south to experience life, so Lao Zhang Zhengse said: "Uncle Shi is reminding me that there is quite a profit here." ”
Li Zhen's eyes lit up: "Brother Xian, let's talk about it in detail." ”
"Brother, a few days ago, the younger brother suddenly realized a method, if the dish is placed in a glass bottle, a little magic can be stored for more than a month or even three months."
Well, glass cans are a good thing, and if the Tang Army is well equipped, at least the logistical pressure will be much less. And the operational range of the field army is definitely extended again.
“……”
Li Zhen looked at Zhang De like a fool: "Da Lang, are you crazy?" (To be continued.) )
