"From Lianhe River to Haizhou City, but it's only a twenty-mile journey, you can't even think of a way to rest? The lack of money is not a reason.

This is your local affairs, do you still need the court to allocate money! You, the governor of Haizhou, don't know how to work around, so you can't think of a way to solve this problem! ”

Li Zixiao's voice was very cold, which made Tan Yuan sweat coldly, and his legs trembled slightly, he was worried that Li Zixiao would use this as an excuse to take him down.

To be honest, Tan Yuan had really thought about going to rest on the road to Lianhe before, after all, it was the main traffic artery in Haizhou at this time.

Go south from Haizhou for more than 20 miles, you will get the Lianhe Xinba Wharf, and then go south to the Lianhe River into Shuoxiang Lake, enter Lianshui, and then pass the Yellow River, you can reach Huai'an Mansion.

Originally, the official road leading from Haizhou to the Lianhe River was still okay, at least in terms of the logistics of the White Dragon Army, those four-wheeled carriages were not a problem.

However, during this period of construction, the construction of Haizhou Port increased dramatically the number of vehicles and people coming and going on this road, and soon made this old official road very muddy.

Facing Li Zixiao's reprimand, Tan Yuan replied nervously: "Yes, yes, it's all because the lower officials are ineffective, and the lower officials will definitely find a way to solve this matter immediately after they go back." ”

Li Zixiao actually didn't plan to get rid of Tan Yuan, obviously he was thinking too much, Li Zixiao really felt uncomfortable when he saw the muddy road.

Now, in Xuzhou, Huai'an and Yangzhou, Li Zixiao is building everywhere.

The most important of these was the repair of several major official roads connecting Xuzhou with Shanyang (Huai'an) and Yangzhou.

In addition, Li Zixiao also added several more official roads, and even he stipulated that at least one new official road must be built between each state and county in the three prefectures, and the old official roads must be maintained at the same time.

As a later generation, Li Zixiao knows the truth that 'if you want to get rich, you must first build roads', and the development of road commerce is very important, which is actually a truth in ancient times.

Otherwise, Li Zixiao now has a lot of money on hand, but he still feels that the money is not enough, because the stall he has spread out at this time is too big.

Li Zixiao is not Li Zicheng, he only knows how to rob, not produce.

Li Zicheng only needed to build a wealthy city and loot it, which was enough to support the expenses of his army of more than 100,000 rogue soldiers for several years.

However, Li Zixiao did not succeed, he not only had to raise the army, but even at this time, the Yulu of the officials of the three governments was actually opened by him, and the Yulu of the imperial court had not been issued for more than half a year.

In addition, he is now building roads, water conservancy, dredging rivers, building harbors, expanding naval forces, building ships, etc., all of which require money.

But Li Zixiao's current investment, he believes that it will soon see results, and only by accumulating can he develop thinly.

Li Zixiao saw Tan Yuan's attitude of admitting his mistake, he was very sincere, and he didn't plan to continue to pursue him, and his voice was soft, and he taught Tan Yuan some methods.

"Tan Zhizhou, you can learn from the practice of the Qiu Governor of Xuzhou two months ago in dredging the river in Xuzhou, and the imperial court did not allocate him silver at that time.

But the prefect of Qiu came up with a solution, and the money and silver he needed were all raised from the merchants in Xuzhou.

What the prefect of Qiu paid was only that after they dredged the river, they gave the merchants who were willing to contribute to the canal, and their ships obtained tax incentives on the canal.

At the same time, after the tax revenue of the Xuzhou government is collected next year, the prefect's yamen will repay the money and silver of those merchants.

You can learn from this method of the Qiu Governor's Mansion, there should be a lot of businessmen in Haizhou City, this method can be regarded as mutually beneficial, you can talk to them.

As the chief civil affairs officer of the ruling party, he must always think about the benefit of the people and do more practical things, you know? ”

"Yes, the subordinate will keep in mind the general's teachings, and when he returns to the subordinate officer, he will immediately start to do this."

After Tan Yuan heard Li Zixiao's words, he was so excited that he almost cried, he knew that Li Zixiao didn't plan to get rid of him, so he hurriedly promised.

At the same time, he was also thinking in his heart that the method that Li Zixiao told him just now was indeed an excellent solution.

Tan Yuan also knows what virtues those businessmen have, and they are all masters who are unprofitable and cannot afford to be early.

If you let them contribute free of charge to build a road with the Lianhe River in Haizhou, it is estimated that they are willing to contribute very little, and this is also a large expense, and no businessman is willing to bear it.

At the same time, this method is not suitable, after all, the imperial court forced the merchants to pay for the construction of roads, which not only had different legal principles, but also had a bad reputation.

But the method Li Zixiao said allowed these businessmen to have benefits to seek in it, and they would not let these businessmen pay for nothing, and the state government yamen would pay it back.

This is equivalent to the Yamen using some preferential measures in exchange for the use of half a year's silver by these merchants.

After Li Zixiao inspected Haizhou for two days, he calculated the time, and at this time, Lu Yuan and Hong Sheng's naval fleet should have left the Yellow River and headed north along the Yellow Sea.

Next, Li Zixiao rushed to Shanyang and took Zhou Dazhu's 'pioneer battalion', Liu Chong's 'trapped camp', Luo Chao's new cavalry battalion 'Flying Eagle', as well as the musket battalion, artillery battalion, baggage battalion, etc.

Two-thirds of the troops left in Xuzhou by the White Dragon Army, totaling more than 13,000 people, were all summoned to Shanyang to stand by.

At the same time, Li Zixiao, on the orders of General Zhenguo, ordered that all ships of more than 400 materials, whether merchant ships or cargo ships, must be unconditionally obeyed by the three prefectures of Xuzhou, Shanyang and Yangzhou.

Li Zixiao ordered the recruitment of these ships, of course, for the purpose of transporting troops.

He wanted to transport the more than 13,000 White Dragon Army, as well as the ordnance, war horses, and baggage that he had brought in, to Tamna Island by sea.

Lu Yuan and Hong Sheng's navy sand boats were limited in number, and they couldn't transport many troops, and they also needed to protect the ships transporting troops along the way, so Li Zixiao could only recruit the big ships of the three provinces.

Just a week later, Li Zixiao received a detachment sent back by Lu Yuan, telling Li Zixiao that Tamna Island had been easily taken by them.

Even, they didn't kill a single person, they just injured three people, and they easily occupied Tamna Island.

Moreover, according to Li Zixiao's order, Lu Yuan blocked Tamna Island and did not let anyone leave on the island, and the news that Tamna Island fell into the hands of the White Dragon Army did not spread at this time.

"Okay, Lu Yuan, they did a good job, so that my plan can be implemented smoothly."

After Li Zixiao got the news, he said happily.

Subsequently, Li Zixiao ordered again to speed up the recruitment of large ships in the three prefectures, but if anyone does not comply, his ships will not want to go to sea and pass on the canal.

In the face of Li Zixiao's strong order, those ship merchants in the three provinces all complained.
