It was about a warm winter, and at the end of the month, Wuhan's reed shoe exports were not as large as in previous years. Naturally, it is because of the increase in cotton production and the improvement of hemp processing technology, but Lu shoes are still quite affordable and warm shoes for the people at the bottom in most areas.

"This year, there has been no road closure outside the border, but there have been two snowfalls, and the signal machine in the south of the moraine has not been affected at all."

Zhang Qian, the "grain order" of the imperial village who came back from Luoyang, brought some fragmentary news, and then said to Zhang De, "Sect Chief, when I came, the queen scolded the king of Wei at the banquet. ”

"The old lady scolds her son, it's normal."

As for who the queen wants to scold him, it's about him, anyway, it has nothing to do with him. When an outsider scolds his son in front of him, he doesn't have to pay back the money?

Fang Xuanling has come to Jiangxi in despair, and he still doesn't want his son to grin his teeth? Anyway, there was no rebellion, did he?

"There is another thing, in the winter moon, someone from Jiangyin's family also came, saying that it was the Xu family who came to visit and brought a Xiaolang, saying that it was the brother of Xu Niangzi."

"I know about this, is it the one named Xu Qidan?"

"Yes."

"yes, I know."

Lao Zhang nodded, put his hands in his sleeves, sighed, and the white mist dispersed, and then sighed helplessly, "In the end, I was also involved, and I can only marry her when the emperor dies." ”

After a pause, Zhang De thought of a room full of girls, and said, "Maybe the emperor can't marry even if he dies." ”

“……”

If it weren't for his big heart, Zhang Qian felt that if he was someone else, listening to what Zhang De said at this time, he would probably have peed his crotch.

"What does the Xu family want to toss again?"

"The patriarch knows that the people of Huzhou were originally not as good as the people of Hangzhou, but now they are also powerful, and they want to build a road between Huiji and Hangzhou."

"Where's the money? What about people? ”

"Huiji's gang coaxed the Xu family to come out, and in this situation, there is no shortage of money. As for people, some people in the Xu family said that the Bai family can grab it, but my Xu family can't grab it? It's about going out and robbing. ”

"Is this still a 'poetry and book heirloom'?"

"In the past few years, the 'imperial merchants' have been rampant in the East China Sea with the emperor's signboard, and their eyes are definitely hot."

Zhang Qian said and remembered something, "The Xu family also wants to get a city office in Hangzhou." ”

"Damn it, it seems that people from the north and south of Zhejiang also want to be together."

"If you don't hold a group now, isn't it slaughtered by the people of Luoyang for nothing? Besides, Qian Gu said that he was talking about the royal minions, but in the end, he was a person who would be an auditor, and he was born in Jiangnan, who dared to say that he would not secretly take care of the township party? ”

"The Qian family and our family have been fighting for many years. It's also thanks to Lao Tzu that he can have some strength, otherwise, this situation will not be eaten by him? ”

The Qian family fought with the Zhang family, it was decades ago, and the person who presided over the Zhang family at that time was still Lao Zhang's cheap father Zhang Gongyi.

Because both sides are not tall and high, they only belong to the "cold door", so the tricks basically depend on their own strength and the relationship between the rivers and lakes, and the official factor is very low. After all, it is impossible for Suzhou and Hangzhou to fight to the death for the sake of two "cold doors".

Pretend to be a Chinese person to have a meal, and in the end, don't you go back to your own house to find your own mother?

Jiangshui Zhang's "Doufu" won the Huiji Qian family, and later Zhang's Beizong came out with a Zhang Gongjin, handsome and shocked the heavenly khan, the Qian family is ugly, it is not good to rely on appearance, you can only rely on talent, so you can fight a Qian Gu out.

Putting aside Lao Zhang's accumulation of 30 years of stealing chickens and dogs, on the bright side, Jiangshui Zhang's and Huiji's Qian are actually equal.

But this is all known to outsiders, as far as Qian Gu is concerned, how dare he really think that the gang surnamed Zhang in Jiangyin can finally be uprooted? The advantage of being a dog for the emperor is that a lot of secrets can know a rough idea, the background of a certain Jiangyin soil dog, not to mention that he is an emperor's dog, that is, the emperor himself, how dare he "arrest the emperor"? What's more, at least for now, it seems that both sides have a common "enemy", so what else is there to say.

When you close your eyes, it's dark.

"That'...... Patriarch, if the Xu family wants to open up a plantation in Liuqiu, should it? ”

"You have a big appetite, what do you want to plant?" In fact, Lao Zhang is not very tired of Xu's various requirements, after all, Xu's has not touched his bottom line, and wants to toss the coal and steel industry or Jianghan political and business group, of course, Xu's does not have that strength.

As for the Xu family, they want to change from Huzhou Xu to Hangzhou Xu or even Zhejiang Xu, this is their own business.

"Sugar cane and ramie."

"Tsk, the Xu family also has capable people, ramie ......" Lao Zhang didn't need to inquire to know, this is the local livestock behind the Xu family who are coaxing and holding it. Wuhan hemp spinning technology has just been upgraded, how long has it been? I actually smelled it.

The land-sitting households near Zheshui, even if they are Hangzhou families, have little chance to reach out to Wuhan. But with Xu's it is different, and the reasons are quite sufficient.

"It seems that the Xu family has a comprehensive plan."

"There are new shipyards in Yuezhou and Mingzhou. A shipyard run by Xu's can be built in eight years. There are many mountains in western and southern Zhejiang, with lush forests, and there are not many giant trees for ships. Moreover, it happened that the mountains and fields were about to be opened up, and these forests were about to be cut down. There are also seventy or eighty ships in the fleet that Xu is holding at the moment. ”

"I'm afraid it's not fifty or sixty, and the surname is not Xu."

"This is natural, but Sect Chief, their fleet does have a route, which specializes in transporting 'population'."

The "population" mentioned by Zhang Qian and the population in the cognition of Lao Zhang are two different things. The "population" mentioned by Zhang Qian is not on people, but on words. Typically, it is livestock......

"It seems that there is a source of supply, and the scale is not small. It's either the East China Sea or the South China Sea, and the East China Sea is impossible, it's the South China Sea. But if it's the South China Sea, how could Du Xiucai not know? ”

"The route with Du Nanhai is staggered, and the route taken by Xu is from Mingzhou, then to Quanzhou or Liuqiu, and then down the ocean current to the south to the East Island of the South China Sea."

Hearing Zhang Gan say this, Lao Zhang's mind went through it, and he knew in his heart, it seems that the Xu family is really lucky, and he actually found such a route.

Crossing the Bass Strait is nothing, but it takes a bit of courage to find the ocean currents and reach the east of the South China Sea. After all, how many people in the Zhenguan Dynasty know that adventuring south from Liuqiu, in fact, there is a big island less than a thousand miles away?

After all, the times have changed dramatically, and the "poetry and book heirloom" of the Zhenguan Dynasty are a little crazy once they taste the rate of return after the adventure.

"The Xu family went from Jiangyin to the capital, did they confide in you?"

"I want to get an errand next to the South China Sea Ambassador."

"Oh, this is to monopolize the benefits of the South China Sea. What a big appetite. ”

"But I'm not afraid that they have a big appetite, and it's good if they have a big appetite." ”

"That'...... Is the patriarch going to answer them? ”

"Aren't they going to grow ramie? Let them plant, but they don't have a single piece of ripe land, and they want to open a plantation, open up their own raw land, and pioneer and cut down trees. If they dare to plant, will I not dare to harvest it? ”

"What about sugar cane?"

"You're going back to Luoyang in the first month?"

"Yes."

"Then tell them when you go back that Lingnan people don't want to see a second family begging for sugar in the South China Sea."

"Yes."

This is not Zhang De's prevarication, but Feng's ability to allow China Resources to open up plantations does not mean that he can watch Xu's come to the South China Sea to make trouble.

In the first month of the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, the outer dynasty began to discuss the matter of seeking the state and county in Liuqiu.
