Chapter 8 Expectations
As a "life mentor", Lao Zhang is very willing to give a little life experience to this kind of student who is willing to devote himself to a "great cause" and take out a little resources to support it.
wanted to go to graduate school before the illegal crossing, Zhang De's own boss also gave some resources, so that Lao Zhang brushed several EI/SCI articles, and also organized a group to go to the Germanic Orthopedic Institute to watch, and the head of state hiccuped a few pieces of equipment in the territory, Lao Zhang also dismantled them, and then transported them back to China for reinstallation.
If it weren't for the fact that the tutor died of a heart attack caused by the sudden drop in temperature, Zhang De's original life would have been much better, even if the officialdom circle and the industrial circle couldn't get along, it was okay to paddle in the "academic circle" and then become a teacher.
In that situation, you can't complain about the government, and you can't blame the government, and you have crossed it illegally, so there's nothing to say.
Lao Zhang himself is to try his best to be healthy, if he can continue his life, if he can live, he can survive, in the process of polishing the boutique Xiaobawang learning machine, the apprentices and grandchildren can get wet and not play dota copies in the wild like him, that's very good.
"Ah Lang, do you want to write a letter?"
With a big belly and a fruit bowl in his hand, Anu looked curious, took another bite of the peeled apple, put the fruit plate down, Anu moved like a penguin, and then grinded ink for Lao Zhang.
"You're almost giving birth, why are you still eating so many things? Lao Tzu shortened this mouth to make you hungry? After buying you back for so many years, can you grow a little? β
"It's a long time."
As he spoke, Anu gestured his height, clasped his hands on his chest nervously, and rubbed it to show the results of the years.
ββ¦β¦β
You're amazing, you dick, I'll help you if I don't support the wall!
Approaching delivery, Anu finally changed her body shape, and she also began to cramp at night, but fortunately there were no varicose veins. The two calves are the same as the radish, and the original delicate figure looks even more funny because the belly is too big. If it weren't for the fact that this girl would lose nothing, she wouldn't lose her mouth, and she would have to eat it when she vomited, probably because she didn't have the strength to go around when she was about to give birth.
At this time, there were five or six mothers-in-law and handmaidens waiting outside the door, all of whom were strong and healthy women.
While grinding ink for Zhang De, Anu also complained: "Ah Lang, I said that I wanted to eat a few more cherries, but Sister Cui didn't let me, you have to call the shots for me in a while." β
"Are you going to eat a few more cherriesβ"
Hearing this, Lao Zhang suddenly raised his voice and almost roared.
Anu was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and shouted "oops", then covered his stomach and supported the desk with one hand, as if he couldn't support it at any time and was about to go limp.
Lao Zhang's face shook, and he hurriedly hugged her over, although he was still nervous, but he had long known this girl's routine, and sure enough, seeing Zhang De stretching out his hand, Anu immediately got up again: "Hehe, it's just a few cherries." β
ββ¦β¦β
recalled that Anu ate cherries from watching the play in the morning to noon, Lao Zhang didn't want to say a word.
These cherry trees, all of which were brought from the west of the river, are among the top products of the local ban on export, just like the coffee trees. Like the Chinese pepper tree, it only exports the fruit, not the species.
Back then, Cui Jue, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Shu loved to eat cherries, and Jianghuai cherries were not only small but also highly acidic, in order to coax women, the rich and willful old Zhang happened to have a very good relationship with Li Simo, so he took advantage of the time when the Western Turks were in the blind waves, gritted his teeth and got tree seeds from the west of the river.
After a bunch of deaths, the survival rate is not high, and it can only be planted in special areas, but after grafting, the survival rate in the north is higher, and the fruit is sweeter.
The "China Resources" transplanted about 1,500 acres of cherries from Wuhan in Cangzhou, and this kind of fruit, which is very large and slightly sweeter, was immediately loved by the broad masses of people in Cangzhou, and after eating it once, it was not allowed to eat it the next year.
Because "Cangzhou cherry" became a tribute, the royal underwriting and purchase......
Wuhan's only bit of high-grade goods, all in Hanyang, and sometimes good and sometimes bad, one year the fruit is particularly large, but it tastes bland, like gnawing cucumbers, if it weren't for Zhang De to make sweet canned food and candied fruit with cherries, Cui Niangzi had to "cold war" with him to the cherry market.
"Alang, I want to go to the cherry orchard to see the scenery...... I heard that a little exercise for pregnant women is also good for the fetus in the womb. β
ββ¦β¦β
Lao Zhang is also convinced, this chick is also quite desperate to eat, so many years of fine clothes and jade food, but he can't change his temperament. After Xue Daoheng's whole family was destroyed by Yang Guang, does this chick have a great shadow on the matter of "hungry"?
As long as it doesn't go along with the food, Anu is usually good, but once he starts eating, the style of painting immediately changes.
"You sharpen the ink for me."
"When you're done, will you let me go to the cherry orchard?"
"You're going up the hill with a big belly?"
"You can take the car."
"Okay, okay, don't make trouble, let you eat, can't you let you eat? Grind the ink! β
"Here we go!"
Anu smiled and immediately began to grind the ink, stealing fun while grinding.
Shaking his head helplessly, Zhang De was about to write a letter, when he suddenly patted his head: "I'm really a pig brain, what kind of brush do I write credit!" I'm pregnant, and I'm really smart! β
"Ah Lang, can you still get pregnant?"
"Grinding inkβ"
"Oh."
Lao Zhang took the charcoal, changed the table and began to write a letter to Ryugoro.
Gorou saw the letter as if it were in person. The old man has already learned about your situation in Wuhan, and he is unexpectedly happy, and he can swallow and divide in one go. The old man was in Chang'an in the old years, and he also saw the 'Mosha people' paying tribute, and most of them admired the Celestial Dynasty, so they could be treated as 'ripe Tibet'. Except for things such as salt and iron that are prohibited by the imperial court, they can be promised. If there is a 'living fan' dealing, then a market is set up in the 'Mosha', but if you want to trade, you must use gold, silver and bronze, and whoever 'barters' only accepts gold, silver, bronze, furs, and children......
The situation in the southwest is complicated, but no matter how complicated it is, in the face of huge capital, these "scattered sand" tribes are all vulnerable.
The method used by Zhang De is very simple, but it is the policy of "appeasement" and "Huairou" after Zhuge Liang suppressed the Southern Barbarians.
Pure Huairou is meaningless, only after a big stick, Huairou can see results. In particular, when extorting Dingkou, grain, leather, and precious metals from the Turks, because of the shadow of defeat in the struggle, as long as the scale is grasped, it is basically a "thin water and long stream" general business.
Although after Zhuge Liang pacified the barbarians, there were still rebellions in the various departments of the Southern Barbarians, but the scale was insignificant compared to the Later Han Dynasty.
This is also the reason why Wuhou was able to consider the north wholeheartedly, mainly because he basically achieved the strategic goal of "rough discipline and rough peace".
At present, it can be said that it is a very delicate period, the most "divided" stage in the entire southwest region after Zhuge Liang, with frequent ethnic vendettas and tribal annexation.
However, it is precisely because of the frequency that the role of "the extreme of things must be opposed" will be played, although the southwestern departments may not understand this concept, but the people's hearts are "bitter and chaotic for a long time", so they must "set their minds".
Stability and peace are the "collective expectations" after turbulent wars, and under this expectation, a person or organization will inevitably emerge to solve the "turbulent" situation.
That is, the South-West region wants to be "unified".
If Ran had not discovered the copper mine, the Wuhan government and business group would not have stared here, and if it had not stared here, it would not have found that the social structure here had reached the point of "Ding Ge".
Then, whether it is emotionally or rationally, the entire Wuhan government and business group will not hope that the people who "reunify" the southwest are someone else.
ββ¦β¦ Yunzhou and Rongzhou also produce copper mines, and the teacher suggested that you use the 'copper mountain' as bait to lure the 'Shengbo' to the south, regardless of whether it is children, young and strong, wood and stone, and fur, you can buy it. Once the northern parts of the country go south or west, then the copper mountain in the north can be mined, and where there is a copper mountain, the population will be gathered, and the 'copper market' will be the 'people's market'. Once all the tribes are attached to the mine, the great success will be achieved......"
Regarding what kind of great achievement it was, Zhang De did not say it directly, but mentioned to Long Wulang that it was the eldest grandson Wuji who made the move.
The entire Wuhan side is quite hungry for the time to "return", because it is necessary to prevent the central government from reacting, and if it vigorously operates itself, and as a result, the central government will come back to the taste, how can it let the local government make a net profit? Not to mention that all of them were collected by the imperial court, just for the copper market, it must be a tax in kind, but the tax in kind of the copper market is equivalent to Kaiyuan Tongbao, which can be imagined.
As long as the tribes in the southwestern and northern lands are willing to move south and west, then things will accelerate, and a large number of "left-behind" people will inevitably be "bound" to the mines.
The fixed-point "towns" that emerged because of the "copper market" will be formed quickly, instead of chasing nomadic farming and "having no fixed residence" like "Yelang County".
After the formation of the "town", it naturally became a "stronghold", and the southwest region was originally divided in the ground, and under the general environment of "people's hearts and minds", it is equivalent to saying that the role of "unifying" the southwest has changed from "raising Gu" out of "Gu King" to Wuhan outsiders.
Psychological expectations and practical interests will accelerate this process, and the final situation is naturally the same as the distribution of wealthy cities in the entire Tang Dynasty, with the multi-point flowering of industries and the multi-point flowering.
It's just that the scale is small, and the industry is also very small, just limited to precious metals.
Zhang De's precautionary shot to Long Wulang is to foresee that in the future, tribal mergers in the southwest region will be more frequent and the scale will be even larger, and with his current strength in "some people", he can guide the northern tribes to go south and the forces in the two major regions of "Dianchi" and "Erhai" can be regarded as a great success.
Because according to the schedule, within two or three years, if the Wuhan side can't get the various ministries in central Guizhou to request "internal attachment", and then the "local group" and "people's group" will form a group to open up the "tea horse road" mastered by the Ran family, it will really be in vain to accumulate so many resources.
