"Burn the mountains and forests and reclaim the fields!"
"This is necessary."
"Otherwise, the land south of the Yangtze River is not enough to accommodate too many people."
Zhou Qing looked at the vast mountains and forests on both sides of the main road.
The land south of the Yangtze River is very wild. If the mountains and forests are not burned down, there will not be enough area for living. As for protecting the mountains and forests?
There's no need for that.
All it takes is planning.
It would be good to maintain the mountain forest at a relatively good proportion.
"Or, you can choose a relatively good area, build a city, let the people rely on the city as much as possible, and develop the surrounding areas."
"Keep it from scattering."
Following the preface, Zhou Qing continued.
There are also many things to pay attention to in the construction of a city.
Over the past three generations, the Kanyu family has accumulated a lot.
Now... there are more ways to go.
"She County!"
"The name of this place comes from the topography. Kan Yujia said that the reason for shrinking the nose here and concentrating the Qi is She."
“It’s a great place.”
"I wonder if that's the case."
Bai Qianhong sighed softly.
Staying by your side always benefits you a lot.
Young Master knows everything that he knows, and knows everything that he knows, but there are some things that Young Master can handle better.
Really... a wise man.
Definitely a wise man.
"You'll know next."
Zhou Qing raised his hand and made a move, and something flew out of the forest on the right.
It is a light purple flower and grass, half a foot long, with slender leaves and a vague fragrance, especially among the leaves, mixed with some small purple flowers.
"This is... half a flower!"
"Wonderful for trauma."
Bai Qianhong recognized it.
"There's a lot here."
Zhou Qing nodded, held half of the flower in his palm, played with it slowly, and took a slight sniff. The aroma was not very obvious, but it was also unique.
Smell it carefully, there is a faint medicinal fragrance.
After saying that, the motorcade continued to move forward, heading straight to She County.
…
…
Do it the same way.
Make minor changes to the five-year plan here in She County.
He also gathered and collected the specialties of She County.
Coupled with Zhou Qing's intentional or unintentional guidance, the specialties here in She County gradually became clear.
As long as the extremely rich medicinal resources are rectified and a suitable area is opened up, it will be a long-term solution.
There are also many mineral resources, such as pebbles and copper ores, which are also of great use.
There are even many unique mountain forest leaves here. Yi Chusan drank one or two of them. Although they were not considered good, the good thing was that they were plentiful.
certainly.
The unique stones here in She County are indispensable, and the inkstones made of special stones are indispensable for simple writing and are quite good.
As for the ink stone here in the long river of time, it is difficult to make. There is no special person. Maybe someone will make it in the future.
Despite this, if the special products that he pointed out before were discovered one by one, it would be enough to make She County shine.
Otherwise, given the geographical environment of She County, it would be very difficult to cultivate more acres of land!
"Son."
“It’s really comfortable to grind ink on the She inkstone.”
"The good inkstones in Xianyang will always make the pen stagnate on the inkstone from time to time when grinding ink, but this She inkstone will not."
"It's very smooth and astringent without any sluggishness."
"Those Confucian scholars will definitely like it."
The chariots and horses continued eastward to Zhangjun and Kuaijijun.
On the broad and gentle carriage, Xueer held an ink stone and grinded the ink on the inkstone. It felt very good. Even when writing down the notes, it felt different.
I seldom record words in books, but... Sister Qianhong praised me very well.
During the Zhuxia period, those Confucian scholars had to read and write every day, and they definitely needed good inkstones for grinding ink.
"The stuff is good."
"It's just not worth the money."
"It's not as valuable as a piece of porcelain made by a slave."
"The slave family fired ten pieces of pink porcelain, each one worth a hundred gold!"
"Hehe, sir, the slave family is now thinking about firing porcelain in more colors."
Yan Lingji is in a very good mood now.
Especially the young master took it upon himself to smelt the gold cakes he got from selling the porcelain and turned them into a beautiful gold ingot.
Anyway, the young master calls it Jin Yuan Bao.
The whole body is bright and golden in color. I hold it in my hand and play with it at will. It feels very good and I like it very much.
Scanning the twenty gold ingots lined up on the wooden table in front of her, Yan Lingji couldn't help but smile. She just added a little bit of dolomite and dolomite, and added some other things herself.
Fire it a little bit.
In exchange for so many gold ingots!
very nice!
She ignored the She inkstone that Xueer was praising so much at the moment. She didn’t write, so it was useless to get an inkstone. Besides, how much could an inkstone sell for?
"……."
"Porcelain... is indeed valuable."
Xue'er wanted to say something, but looking at the gold ingots on the case in front of Sister Yan Ling, she suddenly felt that she lacked confidence.
It seems that She Yan is really not as valuable as porcelain.
Those merchants spent a lot of money to buy those pink porcelains, which only shows that those porcelains are more valuable and the merchants will not lose money.
"You are a little money addict."
Lying on the soft couch, looking at Yan Ling and playing with her gold ingots, Yi Chusan was speechless. He would have known better not to get this thing for her.
"When I get back, I will order the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce to smelt all the gold in stock into these gold ingots."
"Sir, for some reason, the slave family just feels that Jin Yuanbao looks happy."
Yan Lingji arranged the gold ingots one by one, and golden light shone in the depths of her charming eyes, which was the luster of the gold ingots.
"These gold ingots look really nice."
"One ingot is worth a hundred gold!"
"A hundred gold! You can buy a good house and acres in Guanzhong, and you can buy a few slaves."
Xueer raised her hand and picked up a gold ingot, which was quite heavy.
The surface is very smooth and bright, and it must have been played with by Sister Yan Ling.
Hundreds of gold!
Worth a fortune.
Even in Tianranju, you can enjoy many excellent meals and wines.
"This is the equivalent!"
"Gold has no value at all, but for thousands of years, people in Xia have recognized it, so it has value."
"In ancient times, there were still people who used sea shells as money."
"The same is true for the half-liang and five-baht coins now popular in the Qin Dynasty. The half-liang and five-baht coins are essentially made of pig iron, copper ore and the like."
"It has little value in itself."
Zhou Qing raised his hand and found a gold ingot in his hand.
Play with it carefully.
These gold ingots are made by myself, so they are naturally beautiful and good-looking.
However, it is difficult to say what its value is.
"Young Master talks!"
Bai Qianhong nodded.
Here, I have already felt this way.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, all the Xia countries have issued their own coins in their own countries for their own benefit. In terms of... it has no value.
It happens to have some value.
"Hahaha, keep it."
"This thing... will always be valuable."
Zhou Qing smiled.
This is my own high opinion, but after thinking about this matter... Zhu Xiajian didn't know much about it. Even the merchants only knew that gold was valuable and could buy many things.
But it was not clear why the gold came before.
Of course, that's not important either.
…
…
Jiangnan is still barbaric after all.
Although many cities were set up, they were too far apart from each other. Fortunately, the main roads were built, and the speed of the convoy was not slow.
That is to say, I spent a lot of time sleeping rough on the way.
Zhangjun!
Located in the east area of Lujiang County, the conditions are much better than those in Lujiang County.
Whether it is the water conservancy, the acres of land developed, or the people gathered here, it can be called the best place from Zhou Qing Dynasty to Nanchang.
Here...it's not more about developing special products.
As long as the acres are cultivated well.
Just plant the mulberry trees well.
Just raise the fish in the river well.
…
Everything can be expanded automatically.
"Sir, the quality of the mulberry silk produced here in Zhangjun is not inferior to that in Shujun."
"Qianhong stayed in Shu County for a while, and the silk used in Shu County there is not much different from that here."
"Sir, if you are careful here, another kind of top-quality brocade will definitely appear."
Zhangjun didn't stay too long. He briefly met with the governor, lieutenant and others here, and then continued eastward to Kuaiji County.
inside the car.
Bai Qianhong held a pure-color brocade in her hand, pulled out a piece of white silk, and then took out a piece of silk from the curtain of the car.
Put them together and compare them carefully.
His face was pleasantly surprised.
Young Master has said many times that if the land south of the Yangtze River is truly developed, it will definitely not be inferior to the Central Plains, and it will definitely not be inferior to Guanzhong.
I just thought it was impossible before, but... the young master did the right thing, and I still believe it.
Now, after walking out of Nanchang and passing through counties one after another, I have seen so many unique things. Sure enough, the next twenty years will be planned and expanded.
It will definitely burst out with vast power.
"We will find out after we transfer a group of people from Shu County."
"Pass down the skills here and put them to good use."
Over the years, most of the finest silk and satin came from the south of the Yangtze River. Zhou Qing was not surprised by Yu Qianhong's answer.
This is still only Zhangjun.
It will be better when we get to Kuaiji County.
"As it should be."
Bai Qianhong is already preparing to write a document, and in the name of the prince, he will recruit people from Shu County who are proficient in this skill. If they stay, they will be supplemented by the conditions here.
The prospects are limitless.
"Sir, there are many rivers here. It would be more convenient for us to take a boat."
Yan Lingji rolled up a corner of the car curtain and looked out to the outside world.
Thinking about the places I've been through before, with rolling mountains, deep valleys, many jungles, and the wild atmosphere, this place is totally different.
The water and sky are of the same color, the weather is mild, there are many rivers, there are many people, there are many ships, there are many merchants, and the rolling mountains are gone.
Instead, there are low and endless hills and acres of fields beside the vast river. At the end of midsummer, they are still green.
"By boat?"
"This idea...is still a good one."
"Ahead is Kuaiji County."
"The conditions...are better there."
"Qian Hong, next the Zhengshitang needs to strengthen its control over Kuaiji County. There are hundreds of thousands of people here, so it's quite complicated."
Zhou Qing smiled.
Take a boat?
This can be done.
Next, heading south from Kuaiji County, it is also possible to take a boat, and it is also very convenient. The spiritual sense spreads, and if you feel something, you will look at Qianhong and give you a warning.
"People from various schools of thought."
"The remnant of the nations."
"This... is also the foundation of the Xiang clan of the Chu Kingdom. The Xiang clan was granted this title back then, and it did a great job in expanding the territory of Kuaiji."
"The reputation of the Xiang family here is not low. According to reports from the Kuaiji County Sheriff's Office, some government decrees and laws have encountered many difficulties."
Bai Qianhong understands.
Kuaiji County!
The geographical conditions here are quite good.
Vast acres of land and abundant rice.
There are many rivers and water conservancy is convenient.
In this way, many people naturally gather.
Hundreds of years ago, this was the land of Wu and Yue. Later, the Yue Kingdom was destroyed by the Chu Kingdom, and this place fell into the hands of the Xiang family.
For the Xiang family, the land of Kuaiji was used as a foundation for expansion, whether it was for the fertility of the people or the development of acres of land.
Neither is inferior to Huaibei or Huainan.
Now, the Chu State no longer exists, the Xiang family has been defeated, and this place has fallen into the Qin State.
Although the Xiang clan was defeated, the influence of the Xiang clan still existed.
"You can just wait and come up with a countermeasure."
"The Xiang family!"
"Where is the young master of the Xiang clan, Xiang Shaoyu, now?"
In Kuaiji County, even if there are minor troubles, that is, minor troubles, it is enough to leave them to Qianhong to deal with. If you speak out yourself, it is not much different from what Qianhong said.
On the contrary... the Xiang family?
I wonder how they are doing now?
Throughout the years, their clan has never been stable. Since the fall of the Chu Kingdom, they have been dormant in the south of the Yangtze River and in Kuaiji, waiting for opportunities to move.
Finally they got the chance.
Now?
I can only say that they are somewhat interesting.
Hidden is okay.
"Xiang Ji?"
"Unknown at the moment."
"Master, if you want to know, Luowen will reply soon."
The young master of the Xiang clan?
There is only that Xiang Ji and Xiang Shaoyu.
Back then, he commanded 100,000 troops and stationed them outside Lanling City. There were traces of the Xiang clan in Lanling City, but...compared to conquering Qi, the Xiang clan was nothing.
Your Majesty has all the Xia in mind, so he is not too harsh on the remaining people of the various countries. As long as those people are not too excessive, there will be no means to deal with it.
Xiang Ji!
It is said that the young master of the Xiang clan is very valued by Xiang Yan.
Xiang Yan!
He is a famous general, but unfortunately, the Chu Kingdom is in ruins.
Even if there is such a famous general, it is useless and can only have one result.
"The Xiang family?"
"If there is no more land in Jiangdong, no more land in Xiangxiang, no more land in Kuaiji, what else will the Xiang family have?"
"Fusu is now in the land of Luling. According to my order, Fusu will be transferred to the Prime Minister of Kuaiji County and serve as the county magistrate of the land of the Prime Minister!"
"Send Xiao Wu and others as bodyguards for personal protection."
"The land of the lower phase should be enough for a test."
"Qianhong, what do you think?"
With a few clicks of her fingers, the map of Kuaiji County in Xueer's hand floated in front of her, her eyes scanned the lands of Kuaiji County, and then it landed on one place.
It's pretty good there.
I still admire Fusu.
Provided that he shows sufficient ability.
The experience of being an official is naturally important.
However, if he wants to go further, he needs not just that experience, but a more complex experience, which he is now providing to him.
Xiao Wu and others have already reached the level of gods and are worthy of protection.
"Master Fusu, his temperament is naturally gentle."
"Since your Majesty ascended the throne in the Qinian Palace, you have been fierce and iron-blooded all the way. There is still a lot that needs to be done to help Mr. Su to achieve a great position."
"It's a very suitable place for photos."
Bai Qianhong knew a lot about Mr. Fusu from Xianyang Palace.
After all, Fusu is His Majesty's eldest son.
It also received the most attention.
Mr. Fusu is naturally excellent.
However, an outstanding son may not necessarily be the king of any time.
Otherwise, Your Majesty would not have delayed establishing the position of Crown Prince. It is obvious that none of Fusu and the others have caught His Majesty's eye.
