"Ahh

With an exclamation, Zhang De sat up suddenly, "Damn, it's a dream." ”

wiped the sweat on his forehead, had a strange dream, and really felt a little "sitting up in shock in a dying illness". Feeling a little thirsty, Zhang De got up from the couch, did not wake up Xiao Yan and Xiao Shu, who were already asleep, picked up the kettle on the table, poured a glass of water, and after drinking, he sat barefoot on the stool with a stunned face.

A dream, a dream of "His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas" with the BGM of "He is a Pirate", is definitely a dream that is extremely weird.

"Fuck ......"

After scolding, Lao Zhang put on cotton slippers and went to the study next door. When the maidservant who kept vigil at night saw that it was her master, she hurriedly closed her mouth and saluted, and lit a few more cetacean waxes, and soon a good smell was diffused in the air.

In any case, Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji this time were both confrontation and cooperation, which brought abnormal "city divisions" to Jianghuai Province at the same time, but also brought considerable trouble.

Directly ask the central government for an ambassador to the port of export or the city, and Li Shimin may not give Wei Zheng. However, in this way, although Wei Zheng did not have an officially recognized port as a gateway for foreign trade, he was still able to achieve the conditions to compete with Suzhou, Denglai, and Jinkou.

It is a good solution for the emperor, the second-level family of Henan and Shandong, the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng, the merchant gang of the South Canal, etc.

The emperor not only quelled the "turbulent public opinion" caused by Luoyang's "conviction for words", but also achieved the goal of mixing sand in the hinterland of the Central Plains by supporting people in Henan and Shandong, not only further weakening the power that eroded the five surnames and seven wangs in the core area, but also appeared as an arbiter in this "new and old" struggle.

The eldest grandson Wuji retained the official position of Zhongshuling, Wei Zheng got a great opportunity for the development of Jianghuai Province, and the large and small merchant groups that relied on the Yangtze River and the canal to eat found a good way to "avoid taxes".

Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimp......

The biggest fish in the huge empire is naturally Li Dong. Li Dong eats Henan people and Shandong people, and the new-style Henan people and Shandong people eat Jianghuai people and Jiangnan people in order to survive, and Jianghuai people, Jiangnan people, in order to maintain ecology, of course, eat the Goguryeo, Silla, Fusang 66 people, Ryukyu people, Gundam people, and Bi people who were already being eaten at sea......

There may be many small fish uniting to bite big fish in the middle, but the world is difficult, if it is not a desperate situation, who can fight back?

Sitting in the emperor's seat, he will naturally and instinctively mix sand with such and such a "mountain". Zhang De knows, so he has been preparing for this day.

It's just that I didn't expect it to come so quickly, in the autumn of the fifteenth year of Zhenguan.

The white sky outside is a sign that a new day is about to begin. Sitting like this in the study, Zhang De tilted his head, leaned back in the chair, and pondered the things that had to be done slightly.

"Heh......"

With a long sigh, he stretched his waist, put on a cotton wool gown, and tied a brocade belt at will.

Jiangxia City in the morning, unlike closed places such as Guannei Road and Longyou Road, the city gate was opened very early, and the curfew was no longer so strict. There is a slightly rich nightlife here, and naturally there is also a fairly full morning market.

The tea shop has its own style, the roasted coarse tea, brewed in a huge copper kettle, rows of tea bowls lined up, very domineering all the way over, the guy's drip-tight performance, can attract loud applause from old and young diners. The neighborhood, who has a slightly more abundant capital on the street, hired a stonemason to chisel the courtyard wall, set up a tent stall on the street, and a pot of hot oil, whether it is meat oil and vegetable oil, or fritters, they are not afraid that they will not be able to sell it.

In the past, the poor and lowly grain that could only be eaten with difficulty in making wheat rice is now finely ground out, snow-white and snow-white, and when you look at it, you will have an appetite. Make all kinds of pastries, and make people love to eat and drink.

When, when, when......

"Don't cross the line!"

In the morning, the white servants who got up to inspect the neighborhood stalls spoke in the Wuhan dialect and used a half-like tone to imitate the "Luoxia Yin" taught in the school.

Seeing that the errand had arrived, the stall on the street immediately gathered the tables, chairs and benches into a prescribed line.

When the messenger was far away, he scolded and spread out the tables, chairs and benches again, eager to occupy half of the road, so that the carriages and horses would fly over.

"Fritters, soy milk. Soy milk with salt. ”

"Hell, even if you add salt to bean curd, you can also add salt to soy milk, will you eat?!"

"It's about your eggs, Lao Tzu likes to eat salted soy milk, you bite my eggs!"

"Only those who carry bags eat more salt!"

"Your grandmother, I am the coffin board that specializes in fighting your mother......"

Bang!

You smashed the fritters in your hand, I threw the steamed buns in my mouth, there was a commotion, and soon a messenger with a whistle whistle rushed over, and after catching both sides, the fine that should be fined, and the detention that should be detained......

Lively, this is the only term of the Wuhan boundary morning market.

On the street, there are occasional Hu merchants who take their families to eat and drink, see the morning market one after another, see the complicated tea shops and restaurants, and see all kinds of hawkers.

This is a place where the population of a town can establish a nation in the Western Regions. And this is only a part of a huge empire, and only a small part.

Laugh at! Laugh at! Laugh at......

In some special workshops, the sound of reciprocating steam engines was heard, and thick white smoke mixed with red and black smoke rolled in the tunnels. If he is a lover of listening to the legend of Mr. Storyteller, he must be wondering, this look, there must be Li Zhenren there to kill demons.

Monsters, after all, they have to step on the dark clouds and wind.

"Observe, the officials of this court, just watching the emperor do such things?"

Zhang Qian's face was strange, his brows were furrowed, and he looked a little depressed.

"What? What does this have to do with you? ”

"How does it matter? Observe, let's ...... Our family business is in Jiangyin. ”

As a child of the Zhang family, Zhang Gan is of course not only a small official and a small staff member in Jiangxia, his roots are in Jiangnan, Jiangdong and Jiangyin.

And one of the emperor's current decisions is simply to rob Suzhou and Changzhou people's money. Not only Suzhou, but also the entire Yangtze River on both sides of the Yangtze River to grab money.

"Then why don't you go and pull the flag to rebel, and this government will secretly send you swords, soldiers, and food, what do you think of this idea?"

The corners of Zhang Qian's mouth twitched, "Observe...... Patriarch! I've got to figure out a way. ”

"It's not time yet, it's not our turn to be in a hurry."

Lao Zhang shook his head and smiled, "Besides, Wei Zheng's old man still has to wipe the emperor's buttocks." Since the emperor wants to support several 'loyal' families in Henan and Shandong, and is unwilling to pay for maintenance, it is natural for the imperial court to bear it. Wei Zheng offended the eldest grandson Wuji, how could the eldest grandson Wuji let the Jiangnan people come to suffer, it must be to make Wei Zheng's capable people work harder. ”

"But what if General Wei set the home port of the ships appointed by the emperor near the Wuhan Records Division?"

"Is the new Yangtze County for good looks? After investing so much money, Jianghuai Province was transferred from other states and counties, so he said Yangzhou, and asked the salt merchant to borrow a sum of money. If it weren't for Wei Zheng, who would be able to borrow it? If Yangtze County doesn't succeed, Wei Zheng will give up his fame, pat his ass and leave, and leave this debt to the next general system, which is not impossible. But do you think Wei Zheng would do that? ”

"Doesn't it mean that in the future, Li County's livelihood will be to be a nurse for this group of things that the emperor has ordered to rob the house?"

"What's so bad about that?"

"But Danyang County also has a fleet, and there are hundreds of sand boats running on the Yangtze River by the Li family."

Lao Zhang was stunned for a moment, suddenly laughed a little obscenely, and gently patted Zhang Qian's shoulder: "As a son, what is it to rob Lao Tzu of a few boats?" You're right? ”

"Right...... Wrong! ”

"Hahaha......"

Zhang De laughed and said to Zhang Gan, "Don't think too much, if you are afraid of a few landlubbers from Henan and Shandong, what kind of water man are you?" The emperor's appointed, if they want to succeed, they can't tell the difference between the south, the south, the west, and the northwest in the sea for three or five years. If you go to the sea and find a few boats that can float in the water, it will be simple. As for the fact that in order to go to the country of wandering ghosts from the sea, you have to lose hundreds of lives? ”

Just by opening up the sea route of the Black Water Eagle, there were hundreds of Silla ship slaves who died. Even Wang Wansui himself has been in danger of high fever twice, perhaps because of the hard name, he survived, and finally became one of the best wave fighting heroes in the East China Sea.

Although the "legal pirates" with the support of the emperor are troublesome and even terrible, and they may accelerate the competition at sea that is already more and more difficult to compete with, but as Zhang De judged, within three or five years, even if it is to buy qualified sailors and high-quality ships, it will take a process.

Reigning as a king and hegemon overnight, it does not exist.

Just as playing "Contra" on the Xiaobawang learning machine is not a proper job, the emperor is just a pat on the head policy by doing this.

More than a thousand years later, there will be many people in high positions who pat their heads, slap their tables, and pat their butts. In this era, Emperor Li did this kind of thing, not once or twice, the only difference is that more than a thousand years later, the probability of wanting to show off his power again after playing is very low, and in this era, it is better to expect the Emperor Taishang in the Forbidden Garden to suddenly comprehend the skill of Super Saiyan transformation, and then mow the grass and kill all the way to the Taiji Palace, and kill his son in the Taiji Palace.

Obviously, the Emperor who even had to ask for a helper to play billiards was not a Saiyan. And his son, who is becoming an emperor, is also a natural bully and a cool cock......

"Observe, so what are we going to do now?"

"What to do? What do you do to encourage production? Go, it's almost the end of the year, post next year's reward announcement. ”

If you want to get rich, build roads first. This is a universal application for all over the world.

However, if you want to be rich, you need to have fewer children and grow more trees...... This is farting in this era.

"There is strength in numbers!"

"More people is better!"

"More life is more blessed!"

The slogan is shouted first, the slogan is posted first, and then the various incentives of the Wuhan Records Department are followed. It is similar to the standard in Hebei, Liaodong, Hetao, Chang'an, and Hanyang.

There can be rewards for the import of Tianding, but the scope of the reward is limited to the workshop and the big farm. Retail citizens do not have this benefit, and unlike in the past, they used to take lambs and puppies back to raise, but now they can be converted into cash.

The feeding fee plus the price of an adult sheep dog can be subsidized, and the nutrition fee for half a year after giving birth to a child can be flattened. If you have twins, you can still have a surplus......

A well-off family may not be desirable, but for families working in the workshop, the male has to bear the traditional obligation of "spreading the leaves", and now, on this obligation, there is an additional subsidy to smoothly get through the difficult period, which obviously greatly reduces the probability of infant death.

In particular, since the Wuhan area has continued the medical and health management methods of China Resources such as Dahe Workshop and Shicheng Iron and Steel Plant, this effective method has gradually taken root in the hearts of the people. And with this original Linzhangshan welfare that they have coveted for a long time, it is naturally very popular.

Even if other places want to imitate it, in fact, a large family has children for their own workshop, and it may be able to sustain it. However, it is absolutely impossible to promote it intensively.

Not to mention the promotion and publicity and the experience of the handling personnel, only the financial resources, no one can afford to play.

You must know that even Zhang De himself, when he was in Hanyang, did not dare to promote it to the entire Chuzhou on a large scale, and it was also a special treatment within a special scope.

In order to ensure explosive population growth, it is also necessary to ensure a certain quality of population, which is the same as Yongxing Elephant Machine and a series of improved models, which is a systematic project. Missing any link will cause unsustainable shortcomings.

"How many people have come from Jianghuai to become naturalized this month?"

"There are more than two thousand, and as usual, there are more men and fewer women."

"Hmm."

Zhang De nodded, threw a report on the table, then looked up at the staff and said, "At the end of the year, we will make a summary." And then next year, you're going to get busy. In addition to Jianghuai, Jiangnan Province, Shannan Province, and Qianzhong Province ...... Most of them are runaways. You should go to various places to explain to the local officials the policies of the Wuhan Records Department and even Jingchu Province, and pursue such things as advantages and avoid disadvantages, regardless of the government and the people. It's a win-win situation, as long as it's clear, you can talk about it. ”

"Observe and rest assured, we are about to show our strength!"

"This year's running in Jianghuai county by county, I can be regarded as having experience. The coming year will not disappoint the observations! ”

Regardless of whether they are confidants or not, the staff know that this is an opportunity to display their abilities and strengths, and they are all gearing up. After all, if this kind of thing is done well, it will also be a heart problem for the state and county officials who have serious escapes and hidden households, and it is one more political achievement.

For the Wuhan Records Department and even the surrounding areas of the Wuhan Records Department, it is in a period of unstoppable industrial and commercial expansion, and the increased labor force can just solve the problem of labor shortage, without the need to spend a lot of money to hire good people from other states and counties.

At the end of the day, Zhang De was able to decide to do so because of local demand. The salary of the lover is more than three times more expensive than that of the black escapees and naturalizations.
