In later generations, large-scale felling of trees was a dangerous thing, and heavy fines were often imposed when it came to environmental protection.
But nothing can be discussed without the context of the times, otherwise it will just be just boasting.
Cutting down trees to build various statues of gods like Easter Island can certainly be considered a waste, but in this era...
Not to mention that the maritime trade industry requires high-quality timber, but the local people are always facing a shortage of arable land.
Insufficient arable land is the most serious sin in the world, and all large-scale killings in China are caused by this without exception.
Not only did Li Sheng cut down a large number of old forests with no economic value, but he also somehow came up with a farming method called "terracing"...
The local people have been working for less than a year. In just two or three months, they have opened up a large amount of arable land, and the entire proportion has nearly doubled.
Give money to cut down trees and help open up farmland.
The sky is so big and the earth is so big, what can be bigger than the common people eating?
The people's support is strong and the local guards are tight...
It is estimated that Li Er's palace can be compared. I am afraid that the dead soldiers and private soldiers they raise are not enough.
In this case, no matter what you do, the source of production is basically impregnable.
So I changed my mind and tried to think of a solution from the perspective of transportation, right?
No way...
After all, Li Sheng is also a general, a general, the most valuable general.
This timber is related to Li Er's current Tianzi No. 1 sea trade project. You can tell me which state capital or military camp along the way dared not to escort it with all its heart.
So still no chance.
The only chance now is to think about the way out for these wood.
The best way out is of course to sell it for a good price...
The original thought of 100 million guan was the best and the best.
but……
Obviously, this is no longer possible.
Just kidding, if Mu De could do this, everyone wouldn't be so miserable now.
So besides selling it directly...
Is there any way to get rid of it?
This problem is also the biggest headache for Wang Jing and others at this moment.
How can we make these woods generate value and return profits?
Although it is certain that 100 million guans cannot be sold, the original purchase price was only 2 million guans.
This is two billion dollars, my God...
There might not be so many copper coins in the entire Tang Dynasty, so they would still be traded in soft materials such as cloth.
If this situation continues...
Jiangdong has a lot of rain and a warm climate.
If mushrooms start to grow on these wood by then, it will be really fun...
Therefore, at this moment, Wang Jing and others were so worried that they had nothing to say.
Su Dashou on the side looked even more devastated. Although he really wanted to lead the Su family into the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes sequence, but now that these big bosses were overturned and their strength was damaged, he supposedly had great hope.
But you can't think of things like this. If you think like this, you will go down a narrow path. Not to mention that even if their strength is damaged, they are still completely above the Hangzhou Su family - maybe they can rise after another two or three hundred years of operation, but it is definitely not the case.
Right now - just to put it simply, if these people are really dead, how can the Hangzhou Su family survive?
No skin left...right?
However, amidst this gloom and mist...
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the flower hall.
Wang Jing, Pei Ji, Su Dashou and others...
At the same time, he looked over with a dazed expression...
This flower hall is the quietest and most secret place in the Su family's mansion, and it will not be easily disturbed by servants.
The sound of footsteps now was very sudden, because no one said they were going to call the servants just now.
However, immediately after...
They understood what was going on. The person who came to the door of the flower hall was not someone else, but a strong man.
When they met, they immediately knelt down and presented a letter.
Is this actually a soldier raised by everyone?
However, Wang Jing couldn't help but be stunned. This man seemed to have no impression of himself...
Immediately afterwards, I saw Mr. Zheng Taishan on the side, waving with a solemn face.
"Bring it here."
"Yes! Old man!"
After a while, it passed...
The dead man followed suit and gradually came to Mr. Zheng Taishan and presented a letter.
Zheng Taishan is just like Wang Jing at this moment. They are both miserable and miserable, an ant on the hot pot. Now the dead man has information...
And it's obviously an urgent report, maybe something worse will happen...
At this moment, the worry in Zheng Taishan's heart had simply reached the extreme.
but……
After opening the letter and reading it, Zheng Taishan couldn't help being stunned.
In this letter, it is not a dangerous situation, but...
"ah?……"
Zheng Taishan uttered a strange "Ah?", which immediately attracted the attention of Wang Jing and others.
There was urgent information, and they originally thought it was something bad.
But Zheng Taishan's reaction... seemed more like pure surprise.
"Brother Zheng, what's wrong?"
"What happened?"
Pei Ji was worried at the moment. His plans were ruined by Li Sheng several times, which almost made him doubt his life.
If I don't find some opportunities to prove myself, I won't be able to protect myself until the end of my life.
But then...
There is really exciting news.
Mr. Zheng Taishan said in a strange voice...
"Recently, Goguryeo sent a fleet out. It seemed that they were going to intercept Li Sheng's fleet..."
…
After Zheng Taishan said this, Wang Jing and others were stunned for a moment.
I wipe...
Now the southeast sea is very lively.
First, Li Sheng, a monster, tried his best, and he and others followed suit, and now even the Xianbei people from Goguryeo came to get in on the act...
Is it so lively?
However, this matter is uncertain. After all, Goguryeo is the most distant one among the many foreign countries in the surrounding area compared to the Tang Dynasty.
This distance is not geographical distance, but that Goguryeo is a truly mixed-ethnic country. In other words...
This guy is qualified to compete with the Tang Dynasty for legitimacy. What he seeks is not only the prosperity of the Central Plains, but also the ultimate aura and ultimate authority that all people will surrender to. This is not even of the same nature as the Turks.
How could Wang Jing and others not know this, and therefore also know the existence of the Xianbei people, no matter what, they are dangerous to the Han people...
There is nothing wrong with a dynasty that embraces all races and is a kingdom in the world, but the dominance...
Of course, this is just simple cognition and does not involve interests. If interests are involved, that is another story.
But just when everyone was frowning and thinking deeply about the situation...
Then, Mr. Zheng Taishan talked about the second half of the letter.
The content of the second half is naturally Yeon Gaesoo’s recent decision...
The law was banned and the soldiers under his command were encouraged to be thieves.
And we plan to use this as a basic model to occupy the entire sea!
