Chapter 171: Dragon Boat Festival

Thousands of pigs, if placed in modern society, would be nothing. It would only be the output of a small and medium-sized pig farm for a few months. But in ancient times, it was definitely a big deal because transportation was not available. In today's society, even

With truck transportation, pigs can be transported thousands of miles away for sale in one or two days. However, in ancient times, even if people traveled, the place they could go in two days was not far, let alone transporting anything.

.

What should I do? This is really a headache.

Ma Hanshan felt that he was a failure as a time traveler. Why couldn't he make soap? If he could, he would just kill the pigs and boil the oil to make soap.

Wan Yuanwai didn't know how much headache Ma Hanshan had. When he heard Ma Hanshan say that he could help this time, he was so excited that Ma Hanshan trembled with excitement and immediately bowed and praised him.

"As I said before, Wan Yuanwai should have a plan for the development of Wanhe Township. Don't rush into everything." In fact, Ma Hanshan felt that he was running too fast, and talents at all levels were following him.

Not on.

"Yes... you must have a plan. After I go back, I will make plans based on the needs of Wazhai. I can't do it blindly anymore. It will really kill people." Although, the pigs raised by the villagers cannot be sold.

It was none of his business, but as a just and responsible Li Zheng, he had to help solve the difficulties the villagers encountered.

Besides, if a large number of villagers go bankrupt because of raising pigs, trouble will occur. As long as trouble occurs, he will be held responsible.

"After you go back, you can calculate an accurate figure and hand it to the village...Oh, transportation...Transportation is the biggest constraint on development..." Transportation should be one of the constraints on development, but for the current Dasong, transportation is indeed

This is the biggest constraint, because although the current Dasong country is not rich or powerful, there are many local tycoons in Dasong, and they are all very wealthy people.

"Yes...yes...the specific figures, as well as the estimated weight, etc. are all calculated below. Master Mazhai, please take a look..." Wan Yuanwai is really an official, and he does his work very carefully.

Ma Hanshan took a look at the statistics from Wan Yuanwai. There were 3,700 pigs in Wanhe Township that were not included in the underwriting of Wagangzhai. It was expected that one thousand pigs could be slaughtered within one month, one thousand pigs within two months, and the rest were expected to be sold.

It can be released after March.

Fortunately, there were only more than 1,000 bulls, and the time to sell was three months later, so the pressure was not as great as expected. Ma Hanshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To sell more than a thousand heads a month, Ma Hanshan still has a way, just let Ruyi Warehouse eat more goods.

The meat output of Wagonzhai can now be said to be exported to Dasong and Donghu. The closer places sell chilled meat directly, and the farther places sell bacon and bacon.

In the era without ice-making equipment, how to obtain ice? In fact, it is very simple, just hide the natural ice.

Fortunately, there is no greenhouse effect in this time and space. In winter, rivers in many places north of the river will freeze. Last year, Mahanshan asked Si Xingfang and Yelu Cai to ask small merchants from all over the north to dig deep holes to accumulate ice. One is deep enough.

It is not difficult to store ice in a sealed cellar. What is difficult is transportation, because the carriage is really not fast, and the ice may have melted before it is transported. So Mahanshan had many special "refrigerated trucks" built.

In order to sell pork, the owner of Ma Dazhai also worked hard. With his efforts, Lin'an, which is more than a thousand miles away from Wagang Village, can eat the chilled meat from Wagang Village every day.

Another sales channel for the meat produced in Wagonzhai is the border army, mainly the defenders at the border with Donghu. The defenders in other places can be left alone, but those on this borderline must be given special care.

In fact, Dasong's army is really bad. One of the reasons why it is so bad is the military system. Some Xiang troops have no food or water, so how can they have combat capabilities? The composition of the border troops along Songhu is actually complex, but they are lucky

What's interesting is that because Song Song was nervous, he received special care so that he could eat a full stomach, and he also occasionally had meat.

Of course, the Imperial Guards stationed in Beijing, who are regarded as Dasong's trump card, will definitely not let them go. They all have to eat the meat produced in Wagang Village. However, these specific things definitely do not need to be done by Ma Hanshan. Money Gang,

The sales of Ruyi Warehouse have long penetrated into various official institutions.

"Well, it should be okay to eat a few hundred more head a month. I will write a book later and send it to the village. They will calculate the slaughter time and specify who comes first. Wan Yuanwai should worry about it." Ma Hanshan stuffed Wan Yuanwai's statistics table.

In the pocket.

"Yes, yes, thank you very much..." Wan Yuanwai saluted again to express his gratitude.

"Okay, Wanhe Township and Wazhai are now neighbors that complement each other. If Waganzhai wants to develop, we cannot rely on ourselves alone. The nearby villages and the prefectures and counties near Naixian County are our main partners."

Ma Hanshan paused and said, "However, the villagers of Wanhe Township don't seem to be so willing to cooperate with us. I heard that you are not willing to build roads? This road connects Wanhe Township and Waganzhai.

The road is the main road, we spent money to buy the fields we need, but you are not willing to work?"

The road from Wagangzhai Mountain Gate to Wanheji Wharf is two feet wide and fifty miles long. It is built according to the standards of third-class asphalt roads that Mahanshan saw in his previous life. Mahanshan named this road Wawan Avenue, which has nearly three levels.

Ten miles in the mountains, this section was built by Wagonzhai, and for the remaining twenty miles, Mahanshan asked Wanhe Township to repair the roadbed, and then Waganzhai would lay the asphalt pavement. However, the villagers of Wanhe Township were unable to organize

When the villagers came to build the roadbed, Ma Hanshan was very angry about it. After the road was built, it was not just Wagonzhai that benefited.

"Don't worry, owner of the village. Wan promised to organize enough villagers to build the road immediately after returning. The reason why they couldn't gather manpower in the past was mainly because they didn't understand what it means to connect roads and finance. It's also Wan's fault.

I didn’t have a deep understanding of what I said, but now Wan knows that transportation is one of the important conditions for the development of a place.” Wan Yuanwai also knows how to self-examine and self-criticize. Ma Hanshan is very pleased. Wanhe Township is very lucky to have such a good environment.

At any time, interests and beliefs are the most important driving forces.

In this era, people basically have no faith, so profit has become the only driving force. People in Wanhe Township always think that the road is built to facilitate Wagang Village and allow Wagang Village to gain benefits, so building the road has nothing to do with them.

What to do?

Wan Yuanwai just figured it out. As long as the economy of Wanhe Township is deeply connected with Wagang Village, road construction will be related to the interests of the villagers. They will work hard to build roads without mobilization. How to connect them together?

?Plan the planting and breeding of Wanhe Township so that the income of every village in the township is linked to Wagang Village. Some villages raise pigs, some villages grow flowers, and some villages grow tea...

"Well, as long as you understand. Come on, let me show you this land. A modern new city will be built here. In the future, this new city will echo and complement each other. Business will definitely grow bigger and bigger, Wanhe

The villagers must be prepared..." Ma Hanshan led thousands of people to walk slowly around the "Lin'an Park Special Zone". This was his first "inspection" of this land.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, Ma Hanshan asked Ruyilou to send a chef to arrange a big banquet in Lin'an Garden, firstly to celebrate the festival, and secondly to pay tribute to Meng Lianggon, who would take office on Lizhou West Road tomorrow.



It was the Dragon Boat Festival, and all the officials took a break as usual. Emperor Long Guangning also had half a day of leisure, and ordered people to drink tea and enjoy fish in the Yule Pavilion.

Maybe it’s because there are no entertainment programs. Even the emperor can only watch the butterflies flying in the forbidden palace, listen to the singing of birds, and feed the golden fish. Of course, some emperors are talented and can also recite poems and write poems. However, Long Guangning

He has no interest in these, and his only ideal now is to regain the Great Song River and Mountains.

In fact, from the day when Dong Hunan invaded and ceded the territory, almost every emperor wanted to regain the lost territory. But Long Guangning was the only one who actually took action. Although the Northern Expedition was carried out in the name of Han Qizhou, it was indeed he who supported it.

Unfortunately, the action failed, and because of this failure, Shi Liyuan took the opportunity to seize the opportunity to deprive the emperor of imperial power and manipulate the government affairs.

Long Guangning now has two major wishes. The more urgent one is to suppress the Shi Party and regain the imperial power. The more urgent one is to recover the lost territory in the Northern Expedition and restore the territory of Dasong.

Unfortunately, it is not an easy task. The Party of History has infiltrated the three departments and two governments. It has great power and responds to everything... alas...

It was the festival. Long Guangning was originally in a good mood, but for some reason, after watching the fish happily grabbing food and swimming in the pond for a while, his mood suddenly became heavy. This emperor was not doing anything joyful...

"Your Majesty, please ask Wang Lianhua, the Secretary of the Imperial City, to see you." When Long Guangning was looking at the fish in the pond in a daze, the young eunuch in attendance reported.

"Oh? It's a big holiday, what's wrong with Wang Lianhua? Let him in." Long Guangning raised his head and glanced at Wang Lianhua who was standing far outside the pavilion and said.

"Yes." The little eunuch stepped lightly and rushed over to inform Wang Lianhua.

Wang Lianhua's energy sank into her dantian, her strength penetrated her feet, and she performed the traceless light skill of stepping on the snow. She walked into the pavilion silently like a fallen leaf.

"Why is Wang Qing here? You won't let me rest for a while during the Dragon Boat Festival?" Long Guangning felt that someone had entered the pavilion and turned to look at Wang Lianhua who was about to salute and said.

"I will die...but...but the matter is so important that I have to report it." Wang Lianhua bowed and saluted and said, "Reporting to the emperor, Lizhou Road transfer envoy Shi Lizhong returned to Beijing last night."

"He actually returned to Beijing privately?" Long Guangning threw the fish food and the container in his hand into the pond. With a bang, the fish scattered in fright, causing a splash of water.

Local officials are not allowed to enter Beijing privately, no matter what dynasty they are in. And Lizhou Road is an important place in the northwest of Song Dynasty. As the second-in-command of Lizhou Road and the highest administrative officer, he returned without an edict. What did he want to do?

?Do you regard the imperial court as nothing?

This kind of behavior simply treats border defense as child's play and the court as nothing. To put it bluntly, it doesn't give the emperor face.

"I think he will have a good reason to report back to the emperor." Wang Lianhua said.

Entering Beijing privately is not allowed, but if there is an extraordinary reason, that is a different matter.

"Hmph..." Long Guangning was immediately discouraged. Wang Lianhua was right. Shi Songzhi must have thought of a reason if he dared to go to Beijing privately.

Besides, even if his reasons are not sufficient, it seems that nothing can be done to him. His brother is Shi Liyuan, who holds the sole power.

Long Guangning felt aggrieved and a ball of fire was boiling in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the governor of Jinghu has also sent people to the capital, requesting an interview with the Emperor." Wang Lianhua waited for a moment, and then continued after seeing that Long Guangning's mood had calmed down a bit.
