Chapter 65 Application

"Heaven gives the Buddha to take it, but suffers from it; When it doesn't work, it suffers. Xunhuanjun, this Qianli Shitang produces hardware, China does not take it, and in the future, be careful that you can't even get a copper! ”

"But the South China Sea is vast, how can the imperial court take care of it?"

"What should the court take care of? Since we are subjects of the Han Emperor, we should share the worries of the king......"

The local bureaucrats in the internship unit of His Royal Highness King Jiang have resolute expressions and resolute expressions, as if they are "pillars of the country" and "henchmen of the imperial court".

If it weren't for the fact that he knew what this group of "dog officials" was doing, it would be mad, Li Yuanxiang almost believed it.

Unlike the traditional bureaucrats in Luoyang, who like to brush up on "official voices", "acting" is popular here in Wuhan, just like that, just put it in place. The point is still to see the affordability, right?

After all, the elder brother who came to Wuhan to be an official, who doesn't have two relatives running on the rivers and lakes? The profit of this boat, just relying on the dead salary of being an official, don't even think about dying.

"I still think that Qianli Shitang is far away from China, and if there is a change, I am afraid it will be difficult to calm down quickly. In the long run, it is difficult to guarantee that the tail will not be too big. ”

"Xunhuan Jun's words are wrong."

Another bureaucrat jumped out, he put the pen in his hand on the pen stand, and then he said, "At that time, China, the great man who knew the world, could be described as a talent, and the imperial court selected it to choose its ability." In today's China, the children of Jiangxia School now know that there are more caves outside of China. ”

The plain-robed petty official's eyes were quite complacent: "So that Xun Huanjun knows that I am in Wuhan, not limited to civil engineering, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, and silkworm breeding, not to do their own thing, but to make Jun control the overall situation and cooperate with each other." The reason here is the word 'co-ordination'. ”

"Absolutely! Today's Wuhan is not for a moment, but for a lifetime; Don't look at the present, but look at the future. The reason here is the word 'development'. ”

Another bureaucrat jumped out to speak "with honor", and even said to Li Yuanxiang: "Zi said: Rotten wood cannot be carved, and the wall of dung cannot be immortalized. He has a reckless hero every day, and his tail is too big to fall, in a word: If you fight back! ”

"China is stubborn and stubborn, and Qianli Shitang is not yet in hand, so I am worried that he will get rid of it one day, so there is no need to do things, wouldn't it be easy to go home and take the children?"

Hearing the blows of a group of Wuhan bureaucrats, although he was unhappy, Li Yuanxiang still felt ashamed. He is a dignified prince, and his courage is not even as good as a nine-grade sesame official, so it is really better to go home and play birds.

Picked up the teacup and took a sip of Linzhang mountain tea, which is not a high-end product like a bird's tongue, and the tea is not fragrant after frying, but it is better than being astringent and bitter to refresh the mind, and it has become the favorite of Wuhan officialdom.

The chair in the office is quite comfortable, and there is a backrest, leaning back, Li Yuanxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to adjust his mood, but he saw a painting hanging at the end of the office.

"That's ...... Youtu? ”

"The West Factory was drawn in the old years, can you compare the Green Ridge and the Lion Country, and see the small dot west of the Green Ridge? Small dots made with copper heads. ”

"Well, I see, what does that mean?"

"Gold Mine."

The bureaucrat covered his mouth and whispered to Li Yuanxiang, "I'm afraid that I will scare Xunhuanjun when I say it, but since you can come here to walk and study, you will be your own person sooner or later." Originally, there were several princely states in this land. However, the Hou family borrowed money and borrowed troops, gathered people, and wiped them out in one go. ”

"What's ...... What?! ”

His Royal Highness King Jiang's eyes were bulging there, he never knew that there was such a crazy thing among the people.

Then he reacted suddenly: "Brother just said Hou, which Hou is it?" ”

"Which else? Naturally, it is the marquis of the Tianguan family. ”

“……”

Li Yuanxiang, who was rubbed again, felt that he was really a turtle, when he was in the capital, he looked at the military department Shangshu Hou Junji, and seemed to be loyal to the imperial brother and particularly flattering, but who would have thought that there was such a big deal behind his back?

But the question is, where did the Hou family get the strength to touch the west of the Green Ridge?

"Is this really west of Green Ridge?"

"In that case, how can I know where it is? In the whole of Wuhan, there are few people who can know where the Hou's gold mine is located. ”

The bureaucrat who replied smiled, "Xunhuanjun, do you see the dots on this map?" Wherever the place is marked, either hardware is produced, or charcoal is produced, and the worst is the worst, and there is always porcelain clay. ”

"Brother, thank you for your advice, I didn't think about it...... You can still do this. Li Yuanxiang sighed with emotion, and suddenly saw that in addition to the inland, there are also many small spots on the sea, so he asked, "There are these small points inland, I can understand the reason, but on this sea, can the hardware be salvaged at sea?" ”

"It is naturally impossible to salvage hardware, but it is not difficult to fish and shrimp. Didn't Xunhuanjun notice that these little dots are all connected? ”

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"Wherever there is a line, there will be a trend, and there will be a school of fish. The head of the march of the Korean Province, but he specially asked the military department to help buy dried fish. Do you know what amount this is based on? Regardless of the regular soldiers, three meals a day, two taels of steamed dried fish per meal, a year's amount. ”

"A year's worth of!"

Li Yuanxiang wrenched his fingers, only feeling that this amount was simply terrifying. This kind of quantity, in the past, how could it be possible to buy dried fish specifically? It would be nice to be able to eat millet with a little lard and a little salt.

Back then, he wiped out the Turks with his trouser belt, and now he has so much money?

And what shocked Li Yuanxiang was not that he was rich and capricious. But Niu Jinda made this request, and the military department didn't think it was strange, and really thought it could be satisfied.

Dried fish, in the previous dynasty, how could the people store so many dried fish?

"Put the former Sui, I'm afraid that even the family wealth saved by the old emperor Yang will be defeated. But what is this in the Zhenguan Dynasty? The matter of a dozen or twenty boats. Xunhuanjun, do you know that now that the East China Sea is hunting and killing giant kun, the fleet will return to Hong Kong, not to mention five, six, seventy or eighty heads. If you change it to the side, it can't do it, but the hemp rope produced in Wuhan, can it be an ordinary product? ”

"Didn't the giant kun say it wasn't a fish? The fish is oviparous, and the giant kun is viviparous. ”

"Don't worry about the details."

The bureaucrat smiled, and then continued, "Xunhuanjun hasn't seen a trawl bar?" The reservoir here in Wuhan can also be trawled, but if the trawl is really lowered, the fish and shrimp in the reservoir will be extinct. However, the great rivers and seas make it inexhaustible. The trawl nets produced by other families, after using them a few times, will not work. Produced in Wuhan, it is not a problem to recover the original cost of supplementation. ”

"If that's the case, I'm afraid it's not unusual to have seafood in the past. No wonder, before I came to Wuhan, there was a lot of seafood in my hometown, mostly dry goods. ”

"That's right!"

The sesame official clapped his hands and said, "Let's just say this cuttlefish, octopus, Xunhuanjun, do you know how to catch it?" ”

"Could it be that this fish has a unique way?"

"Cuttlefish are fished, and octopuses are fished. But this octopus has a habit, it likes to drill a hole, and the tighter it is, the more it likes it. So the ship prepared more bottles and cans with thin necks, tied them with ropes, and sank into the water. The old connoisseur can find the traces of fish, just to explore the place, these singing bottles and cans, can seduce the octopus into the urn. ”

"If you enter the urn, you will not be able to get out for a while, and if you go ashore, you will become a seafood ......"

Li Yuanxiang also understood, and nodded again and again, "The truth here is not simple. ”

"How can there be a simple reason? It's all groped out by human life. is such an octopus, but thanks to His Royal Highness King Wu's curiosity, this discovery was made. ”

"It's not easy."

Li Yuanxiang said again, but he was even more admired in his heart: the seaside fishermen may not know this truth, but this kind of truth cannot be changed into Kaiyuan Tongbao, only here, the truth can be changed into gold and silver, and can be dressed and eaten.

On the table, a bag of sliced charcoal-grilled octopus feet is placed. Because it is sweet, it is extremely popular, and because it is chewy, ordinary people do not necessarily eat it as a meal.

Wuhan is busy with official affairs, and bureaucrats often drink porridge and eat breakfast in the office, and this charcoal-grilled octopus foot has become a side dish to accompany the meal, and it has become a temporary trend.

Even if it's a small packet of snacks, how simple is it? Next to the charcoal-grilled octopus feet, there is also a bag of walnut kernels. This is not the kind of big walnut, but the small walnut pecan, although the taste is good, but if you want to eat a walnut kernel, it is not so simple.

If you use a small hammer to smash it for a day, a hundred pecans can produce twenty complete walnut kernels, and the technique of this person who smashes walnuts is already quite good.

But in Wuhan, no matter how many pecans you have, they are all poured into a special shell breaker. This kind of specially tuned machine is not a problem at all to process two or three thousand catties of walnuts a day.

In the entire Datang, there are countless mountain goods merchants who know that there is this machine, but only Wuhan can manufacture this kind of machine.

The reason is simple, because only Wuhan can produce extremely inconspicuous springs.

If there is really a powerful blacksmith who takes the steel and really makes a row of springs, the tuning becomes a problem again. After a set of processes, I am afraid that the cost is enough for the whole family to eat walnut kernels all year round.

His Royal Highness King Jiang's thoughts changed, and he suddenly discovered that the things that were commonplace in Wuhan, and even the things that were taken for granted elsewhere in the Tang Dynasty, were not necessarily as natural as "spring blossoms and autumn fruits".
