Section 496 The long way back home

Before arriving at Bagang, Liu An and Pan Ziling did not discuss the matter about the great rebellion.
This kind of thing is not suitable for multiple discussions.
From Bianliang to Xiangyang, then take a boat from Xiangyang to Jiangling. There are larger official boats at the pier on Jiangling that can go up the river, and the largest one is a seven-masted sailboat.
When Liu An arrived at Jiangling Wharf, all the officials from all over Jiangling arrived.
"Don't do serious business? I've wasted all my time and welcomed you and sent you to the top."
The prefect of Jiangling stepped forward and replied very seriously: "I didn't report to Liu Xueshizhi, but I wanted to ask for teaching questions when Liu Xueshi passed by Jiangling."
Learning, Liu An is a little weak in this matter.
It’s not that there is a little bit of emptiness, it’s that there is a lot of emptiness.
My own knowledge is not as good as Changsui by Lu Mengzheng's side. It's a tragedy to discuss knowledge with these people who have participated in the serious imperial examination.
Even if you don’t want to, Liu An is not willing to refuse, so he bit the bullet and went to the banquet.
The banquet was in a restaurant by the Yangtze River. There was no food, no wine, only desks, paper and pens, and tea.
Liu Anxin said: I'll go.
Is this really a teaching question?
A little scary.
The Jiangling Prefect invited Liu An to sit in the chief, and someone immediately brought paper and pen. The Jiangling Prefect held the pen in both hands: "Please leave your letters for Mr. Liu."
"Okay." Liu An was somewhat reluctant.
After thinking for a few minutes, Liu An picked up his pen and wrote:
The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes.
Right and wrong, success and failure turn into nothing.
The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red for several times.
The white-haired fisherman and woodcutter are on the river bank, and are used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze.
A pot of turbid wine meets happily.
Many things in ancient and modern times are all jokes.
Liu An's handwriting is OK, but he has improved a little with Li Wen's guidance. Fortunately, the lyrics can be copied, otherwise he would have been embarrassed today.
Someone took away his name, and the Jiangling Prefect personally gave Liu An a tea: "Sir Liu, Xiaguan was anxious. Last year, Yuzhou Ba Port's income reached one million yuan, which was only the profit of the port. However, our Jiangling Port only had only 60,000 yuan. Xiaguan carefully learned the business methods of Yuzhou Ba Port, built shops and warehouses in Jiangling Port, and specially built residential areas for the people, but the profits were ashamed."
So that's the case, Liu An breathed a sigh of relief.
Just don't ask for teaching questions.
I am good at this.
Liu An sat down with a calm smile: "Come the official documents from the dock and choose the key points."
The official documents were prepared long ago, and after Liu An finished speaking, he delivered them to Liu An.
After flipping through the official documents, Liu An laughed.
"You guys."
"Please give me some advice."
"The wharf is big enough. You have been building roads and rivers so that goods can be scattered from Jiangling to all parts of the country. But have you ever thought about how much money the people have to buy goods? I only ask one question, what pillar industries do each county have?"
pillar?
A pillar?
Liu An explained: "Pillars, such as house pillars. The pillar-type industry can support the industry in a county. In the era of small peasant economy, all families can plant good fields. So what about now?"
Liu An casually wrote on the paper: "For Bagang, Yuzhou has tea, hemp, cloth and silk from Shu. What do you have? Let's put it this way, even if there is good wine, it's fine. There are several counties in Shu that have outstanding water quality, and they have good wine."
"What is a pillar industry? First, it can support a county, and then drive multiple industries. In Mianzhu County, Shu, they have honey wine and Daqu wine. These two wines have driven a large number of porcelain production, transportation industry, grain procurement, wine utensil production, etc. around them."
"Also, for a county, pillar industries must account for at least half of the total output value of a county."
Liu An stopped in Jiangling for three days and taught Jiangling Prefecture and surrounding counties three days of classes.
Liu An was about to leave, but he didn't do it.
Originally, I wanted to go upstream, but went south to Yuezhou and gave five days of classes to the local and surrounding counties.
Liu An's journey back to his hometown seems to be getting farther and farther, and it evolved from the initial class to a field investigation to guide each county to develop its own pillar industries.
In this way, almost two months passed, Liu An walked upstream from Jiangling a little, and then arrived in Yiling.
Liu An originally didn't want to stop the boat, but who would have thought that at least tens of thousands of people gathered on Yiling Wharf?
"It's hard to refuse the kindness, I'm just going back to my hometown."
"The official accused him of crime."
"Forget it, let me rest for two days and prepare throat tea."
Liu An has said too much in the past two months, but he still has to meet representatives sent by the people and gentry from all over the country.
I don’t know from that city that the squire brought various local specialties and more strange things. One is a kind of heart, and the other is that the people hope that Liu An can discover something unique and become an important local specialty.
With Liu An traveling to so many counties, the most developed in the early stage was the development in the direction of agriculture.
Tea is available along the Yangtze River.
Later, Liu An also discovered that many medicinal materials could be grown.
For example, it is Yuezhou, where there are many lakes, vigorously develop lotus root planting, lotus seed industry, and then lotus powder industry, dry lotus industry, etc.
The local county magistrate calculated that the lotus root alone can bring 10,000 taxes to the county every year, and can make thousands of households live a prosperous life because of lotus root.
Dongting lotus, Dongting tea, Dongting turtle, Dongting shrimp, etc.
A series of agricultural and prosperous industries.
After leaving the wharf, Liu An met the representative of the gentry, and it took another half a day.
When he returned to the mansion that a wealthy businessman arranged by the local government to freed for Liu An, Liu An felt that his legs were filled with lead.
tired.
After getting up all night, Liu An went to see local specialties very seriously.
A very special thing made Liu An unbelievable in his eyes. He bit his eyes a little bit, then wiped it with his hand on the corner of his mouth and smelled it.
Liu An believed that he read it right.
Yellow millet pepper.
Liu An remembered reading a report before that a botanist had studied the plants in Shennongjia, and believed that the origin of peppers was in the red rice peppers in Xishuangbanna, the yellow peppers in Shennongjia, and the red pickled peppers in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Why did you forget this?
"Come."
Tietou immediately came in: "Master."
"Go and check this."
"Yes, lord."
Tietou went out with a small box. There were people from the government and gentry waiting outside the door. Even if Liu An said he wanted to rest, they were ready at any time to make it easier for Liu An to ask questions.
As soon as the box was sent out, someone immediately opened the record: "The No. 71 specialty, a pesticide was collected from Shennong Mountain, which was spicy and had unknown effect."
This record was sent to Liu An.
After looking through it, Liu An said, "Tell them that this thing is planted in large quantities. This thing is extremely important in our Central Plains in the future. Three spices are added: pepper, chili, pepper, and pepper. Eight spices: cloves, cinnamon, bean paste, amomum villoss, fennel, seedling fragrance (cumin), ginger, star anise. Go."
"yes."
Chapter completed!
