Looking at the bustling crowd outside the Three Emperors Temple, the cries of various vendors came and went, and Xu Ping opened his mouth wide in shock. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's only been a few months since I've been here, so how did this place come to be? At that time, there were many people, and in the blink of an eye, it was so lively, and the change was too great.

When he arrived at the gate of the Three Emperors Temple, he saw Chen Yaozuo's personal soldiers guarding there, and Tan Hu hurriedly went up to negotiate.

After waiting for a short time, Mengzhou Tong sentenced Li Shen to come out from the inside, finished saluting, and said to Xu Ping: "Du Cao can be regarded as coming, Chen Xianggong is waiting inside, a little anxious!" ”

Xu Ping got off the horse, didn't rush into the temple first, pointed to the lively crowd in front of the temple, and asked Li Shen: "I haven't been here for a few months, how did this place become like this?" ”

Li Shen said with a smile: "Is this the repair of the river, in addition to the Qinghe Xiang Army, there are also people from the four states who are coming, and the traders from the nearby states have gathered in Heyin when they hear the news." Especially in Biankou, thousands of Qinghexiang troops rose up camp, and the shops who relied on them for a living lost their business and chased them all the way! ”

"I see! Why do these people gather here instead of doing business in the county? ”

"The county seat is too small! The soldiers and the people are not suitable to live there. The Three Emperors Temple is a vast place, and there were temple fairs in the past, so they all came here. ”

Only then did Xu Ping understand the reason, and he wanted to come to Chen Yaozuo to settle most of the people here. It's good that it's lively in front of the door, and it's convenient to buy things, not as lonely as when you're there.

When I entered the backyard of the Three Emperors Temple, I saw Chen Yaozuo sitting at the stone table under the big ginkgo tree where Xu Ping had sat at that time, drinking tea and waiting. Seeing Xu Ping and his entourage coming in, he hurriedly stood up to greet him.

After the ceremony, the two sat down separately. This time, Xu Ping went to the Three Emperors Temple and became a guest.

After inviting tea, Chen Yaozuo pointed to a plate of big red pomegranates on the table and said, "Long Tu only saw pomegranate flowers last time, right?" Now that it is ripe, I borrow flowers to offer Buddha. The pomegranate here in Heyin is big and thin-skinned, and the taste is extremely sweet, so Long Tu can taste it. ”

Xu Ping thanked him, took a pomegranate in his hand, peeled it and ate it.

If in the previous life, this pomegranate was only a geographical indication product, and the entrance was a kind of sweetness, which is indeed not comparable to pomegranates in other places. And the seeds are very small, not too hard, and before you know it, you can eat a pomegranate.

Putting the rest of the skin on the table, Xu Ping praised: "It is indeed a good thing." All things are born in nature, thanks to the cultivation of the earth, and it is thought that the water and soil here are particularly suitable for pomegranates, so they are born particularly sweet. ”

"Yes, this place is located on the beach of the Yellow River, and the land is not conducive to growing grain, but this kind of pomegranate is not produced. It's a pity that this fruit can only be eaten in autumn and winter, and it can't be eaten, and the local people can't get more profits. In fact, it is not only the pomegranates of Heyin, Zhengzhou also produces good pears and dates, but in addition to a few cars every year, the local people also fall into a slippery mouth. ”

Chen Yaozuo said this, where did Xu Ping not know what it meant? said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Xianggong Chen, I am discussing with the Salt and Iron Division, and I want the three divisions to collect local products from all over the world." Fruits such as pomegranate and red dates, which can be stored and transported and are not perishable, are also counted in it, and they are all counted as local products, and they are collected and sold in other places. ”

Chen Yaozuo slapped his palm: "Long Tu listens to the strings and knows, who said that you are a wooden person?" If you do this, all the people of the world will remember your good! In the past, no matter how famous these local products were, they were only occasionally trafficked to nearby states and counties, and they were not sold much, and most of them still rotted locally. If the three divisions do this, they will definitely make a lot of profits. ”

"What the minister said is, but this matter has to be considered in the long run, and there is no urgency for a while. It's hard to do things on the official side, if you are in a hurry, once you rot a few times and lose your capital, someone will inevitably gossip, and it will be difficult to do this thing. ”

Chen Yaozuo nodded, he has been an official for many years, and most of the yamen in the court have been there, how can he not know this truth?

When officials come up with something, there are always a bunch of people who look at it coldly. Everything is going well, but once something goes wrong, these people will jump out and pick their noses and eyes, eager to knock the person in charge into the abyss. This is the common sense of officialdom, and it can't be avoided, it just depends on how everyone responds. If you just see the credit you get after things are done, and if you are in a hurry, it is easy to turn good things into bad things, so you should plan carefully and be safe.

Chen Yaozuo is an anxious person, he understands the reason, but he just can't calm down. Seeing that Xu Ping was young, but he was able to endure his temperament, and he slowly figured things out, he couldn't help but look at him.

The two sat at the stone table and gossiped about what they had encountered during this time of separation.

At this time, it is late autumn, and the leaves of the big silver fruit tree on the top of the head have become golden yellow, and from time to time they float down, like a small fan, exquisite and lovely. The autumn sun shines lazily on the body, and there is a different kind of warmth.

Most of the Qinghe Xiang Army is under the name of Chen Yaozuo, and various preparations are being made and are about to be launched. Biankou is not far from Guangwu Mountain, and the river channel is excavated from the bottom of the mountain, and when it is connected with the Bianshui River and the water source is sufficient, it will be introduced into the Bianhe River and block the old Yellow River Biankou. The Qinghe Xiang army wanted to take their barracks, dig all the way from the original Biankou to Bishui, and finally garrison there, and the original Yellow River Biankou will be abandoned when the waterway is dug up.

For Heyin, thousands of Qinghexiang troops stationed at the county border is also a burden, but it is also an opportunity. The military is a stable and large customer of liquor, and the liquor tax is the most important revenue of the locality, and these thousands of people bring a lot of tax revenue to the county every year. As soon as they left, Ha Yin's economy was much more depressed. But these counties can't be the masters, so they can only rely on the arrangements from above.

The people from the state mainly built the wharves and roads of the newly opened waterways. Heyin County has the old Bianhe wharf, which does not need to be rebuilt, mainly to repair the wharf of Gubailing and Bishui County, and the road to Xingyang, from Xingyang to Zhengzhou. Chen Yaozuo is the governor of Zhengzhou, who has benefited one party for the first term of office, and attaches great importance to this wharf and road.

Xu listened to Chen Yaozuo's plan quietly and did not make a sound. He is most concerned about the river on the Yellow River beach, as for the wharf and the road, they are secondary, and it is not too late to repair the river after it is dug.

After Chen Yaozuo finished speaking, Xu Ping said: "Xianggong, whether it is a wharf or a river, a lot of boulders are used, I don't know if you have found a good place to quarry?" Guangwu Mountain is right on the edge of the river, and it is best to quarry from the mountain. ”

Chen Yaozuo said: "There is a quarrying business in Jiagu, so why bother to open a new place for quarrying!" The stones in Jiagu Town have been trimmed, and they can go down the Jingshui and Suoshui, go straight into the Bianhe River, and then turn to the Yellow River and transport them! ”

Xu Ping was stunned for a moment, and then said after a while: "Xianggong, this road is not close!" Although they are all waterways, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to transport them from Jiagu to the Yellow River! (To be continued.) )
