Chapter 1119: Yu Zhiyuan, who came in a hurry
Seeing Zhao Jin's low feelings, the others didn't know what to say for a while, Zhao Jin took a few steps and said: "The real trouble is Huai'an North District." ”
Wang Zhaojing and Liu Yong explained: "After the water potential of the Yellow River rose, the eldest brother asked many people who knew how to do it on the water and land, and they said that once the water was generated, the vicinity of Xuzhou City and Xiao County would be affected, because it was low-lying land, and it was easy to divert water to the past, and then the area from Pizhou to Huai'an North District was lower, and there was Hongze Lake carrying the water level. ”
Hearing this, Liu Yong understood, why Zhao Jin transferred the population migration in Huai'an North District but did not supplement it, this is also a precaution, but I am really reluctant to think about it, the barren beach over there is the reliance of Zhao Ziying when he started, relying on that side to digest tens of thousands of displaced people, laying the foundation for today's strength, but such a foundation may be destroyed by floods, which is really sad.
"The refugees from Liaodong should be arranged to all parts of Shandong as much as possible, there have been too many dead people in Shandong over the years, and the population we have introduced has nothing to do, and those who are put on the Haizhou side can go to Suzhou and Guide by land and water, and they can also settle down over there." Zhao Jin said.
After walking forward for a while, Zhao Jin even went down the dam to take a look at the river, but just advised: "Arrange people to watch it day and night, as soon as there is news, you can mobilize people and materials nearby, just ask for an order afterwards, you must make a decision on the spot, and the water situation can not be delayed a little!" ”
Not long after Zhao came here, Zhang Hubin, the regiment of the second regiment of the pro-guard brigade, rushed over from the river dam elsewhere, and it was only then that Liu Yong found that the second regiment of the pro-guard brigade had been stationed on the side of the river dam, and Zhang Hubin, the regiment, was here to take control.
Zhang Hubin didn't follow everyone for too long, Zhao Jin sent him to busy his own affairs, and as soon as Zhang Hubin left in the second regiment, Liu Yong couldn't help but say: "Big brother, our personal guard brigade is the most elite battalion leader, those family members are all good men who have been tempered for thousands of years, it is a pity to use them to do this thing of protecting the river and guarding the dam, even if something really happens to the Yellow River, they should not be filled in it." ”
"Isn't our family here to protect Xuzhou? If the flood really comes, who else can go up firmly, and if our family can't go up, how can others be willing to go up! Zhao Jin said in a deep voice.
Liu Yong wanted to say more, but he was dragged by Wang Zhaojing beside him, and he immediately understood that his brothers should have said these words a long time ago, and they probably got the same answer.
"We must cheer up now, as long as there is something in this Yellow River, those people around us will immediately pounce on it, don't look at the quiet everywhere now, once something happens, it will be a tiger and wolf everywhere!" Zhao Jin said solemnly.
Four days after Liu Yong returned to Xuzhou, Li Laohai took someone to visit again, but this time it was Li Xian, the third person in the gang, a man in his thirties, with a gloomy face all day long.
Although the people are very gloomy, but they are very reliable, the reason why they came so fast is because they know that there is a ship from Liaodong on the side of Zhao Ziying, and the fast horse from Haizhou is transmitted to Qingjiangpu, and Qingjiangpu is passed to Jiangnan.
Being able to do this is naturally to see the benefits of trading with Zhao Ziying, as well as the huge profits brought by the opening of the Liaodong route.
Li Xianneng has a lot of things to do, the Li family wants more iron tools, from swords and weapons to farm tools and iron pots, they all need it, and the demand for cotton cloth is also a large quantity, and more importantly, the right to use this Haizhou port.
Both sides had needs for each other, so they were very happy to talk, and the Li family agreed to the training of sailors and shipbuilding.
They can be responsible for building a shipyard in Haizhou, can provide craftsmen, and can even arrange suitable timber materials in advance, but the cost has to be borne by Zhao Ziying, which is really a drop in the bucket for Zhao Ziying, and it is easy to agree.
Then train the students of the Zhao Ziying to go on the ship, they can arrange people to come to the Western-style school as a teacher, and the students can go on the ship to learn for a few months, and then half or sixty percent of the ship's manpower can all become Zhao Ziying's people, and the Li family arranges a small number of capable veterans to guide, in this case, the people of Zhao Ziying can learn to operate the sea ship as quickly as possible, and the Li family can also transport the family and goods for Zhao Ziying on a large scale.
In addition to the commercial goods, the Li family's requirements are to load a part of the salt goods at the port of Haizhou every year, and the Li family should divide the timber bought back from Liaodong by Zhao Ziying, and at the same time, the Li family's shop and personnel in Qingjiangpu should be protected by Zhao Ziying, and at the same time, Haizhou Port and the port built by Zhao Ziying in the future, except for the Yu family and the Li family, should not let other families enter as much as possible, and if necessary, I hope that the two sides can talk about it first.
A family member followed Li Xian from the port of Haizhou and confirmed that the fifteen big ships were all more than 800 materials, and all of them were empty, which can be said to be full of sincerity.
Zhao Ziying also gave the same sincere conditions, giving the Li family's gang the priority right of loading and unloading in Clam Port, second only to the Yu family, which is a wealth like gold and silver for the maritime fleet.
Li Xian came to talk about the details this time, for example, if they go to Liaodong to transport people, go to Liaodong after filling up grain and various materials in Haizhou or Qingjiangpu, and then transport people back, this is actually equivalent to empty load for them, the volume of Phi Island is not large, and they are coerced by the Jianzhou Jurchen, and the special mountain goods that can be provided will definitely not be too much, enough timber for shipping, especially for the transportation across the ocean, the profit is really limited, so I hope Zhao Ziying can give some compensation.
But this time, Zhao Jin led Li Xian to look at the weapons again, and after reading it, Li Xian immediately agreed, the reason is very simple, this time the Zhao battalion showed Li Xian his artillery, and the cast iron artillery without a gun carriage under three pounds Zhao Ziying can also be sold, and can provide shells.
The sea gang has a lot of dealings with foreigners abroad, and firearms are not very rare, but they have seen a lot, so they can see the good and bad, although the artillery and bronze cannons are the best, but the cast iron artillery of the Zhao Ziying looks very good, and the on-site test firing of a few cannons, the distance of the shot, the body of the cannon is hot and cold, and how the accurate head can naturally be understood, and the Zhao Ziying also provides iron parts to fix the artillery on the ship.
Li Xian, who has been running at sea all the year round, naturally knows what this means, and if Zhao Ziying can come up with such goods to provide transactions, they naturally want to relax their own conditions.
After the two sides finished talking, it can be said that they broke up happily, and during the period of their detailed talks, grain and other materials began to be transported to Haizhou in the storage of Huai'an North District, and were directly loaded on ships ready to leave.
The people who went to Phi Dao to recruit Liao people this time have also been selected, Li Song, Li Sen and other Li family children have all gone into battle, and the 100 families brought back from Phi Dao this time have also selected 20 people, in addition, the Guards Brigade and the Second Brigade each sent two companies on the ship, and when the personnel and materials were complete, they set off immediately.
In addition to this, the Li family also gave the time of the next arrival, these fifteen big ships are only the first fleet, after they bring back the Liao people from Liaodong, they will be filled with cotton cloth and iron here, these goods hope that the Zhao Ziying can be prepared, at the same time, the next wave of ships will arrive in July, this ship will be filled with copper and gunpowder, as well as all kinds of foreign goods needed by Zhao Ziying and Qingjiangpu.
Li Xian left from Xuzhou satisfied, he only walked for two days, Yu Zhiyuan rushed to Xuzhou, the second son of the Yu family has been pampered for a long time, and the travel has always been very particular, from Songjiang to Xuzhou, all the way to take his own big boat, the boat is elegantly arranged, and there are maids and servants to serve, but this time, cross the river to Yangzhou and then change to a fast horse, all the way north, after coming to Xuzhou is already very tired.
Arriving on the same day, Yu Zhiyuan did not come to the door to ask for a meeting, but washed up well, slept again, and came to the door with gifts the next day.
"Big brother, our Xuzhou from Liaodong to Shandong and Nanzhili to transport people and goods, we must use big ships, and there is sea ice in the deep winter and early spring in Liaodong, we must seize the time to transfer back and forth, and it is inevitable that there will be a delay in using merchant ships, and the younger brother has specially purchased five new lucky ships here, with all the sailors to send to the eldest brother, specially used to transport the Liao people, and in another half a month, the ships will be able to go to Haizhou." Yu Zhiyuan didn't mention anything about the Li family, but just said that he wanted to give a heavy gift.
Last time, Yu Zhiyuan has sent a fortune ship to Zhao Jin, now there are a total of six big ships, the fortune ship is wide and stable, the load is the largest, it is indeed very suitable for the current needs of Zhao Ziying, and this Yu Zhiyuan is sent this time, that is to say, it is dedicated to Zhao Ziying, this stroke is really not small, you must know that in the current foreign trade, these six blessing ships will not encounter wind and waves pirates, and it will be more than 100,000 taels of benefits to run down in a year, and Yu Zhiyuan will actually send it out like this.
Yu Zhiyuan is very good at being a person, what to mention the Li family at the moment, what to mention the port, it is all self-inflicted, it is better to do what can be done well, but when saying this, Wang Zhaojing, who was sitting next to Zhao Jin, looked indifferent, Zhao Jin was also smiling peacefully, not happy and excited, after seeing this scene, a wry smile appeared on Yu Zhiyuan's face.
After being silent there for a while, Yu Zhiyuan opened his mouth and said: "The younger brother did something wrong, the Yu family also did something wrong, everyone was dizzy for the silver in front of them, and they made this mistake of being blind, and the eldest brother really had no face to say it, please take these boats and see what the younger brother will do in the future!" ”
"Do you know what's going on?" Since Yu Zhiyuan was clear, Zhao Jin spoke straightforwardly.
