"They are all Japanese people brought from the Japanese country. This place is not far from the Japanese country. When the governor got instructions from the prince to carry out a big project, he saw that the prince's ship was still idle, so he took a trip to the Japanese country. Originally, he wanted to start from the Japanese country.
The Empress wanted some criminals to come over to work, but who knew that many of them came directly, and the price they asked for was very cheap."
"I haven't received any news from Jianzhen these days. The young couple were able to transport some laborers. I guess they have defeated the original two princes?"
explain,
"The people who came from the Japanese country are now discussing the construction of the port with the governor in the new port. If the prince wants to ask, I will send them over now."
"No, just casually asking, where have all the shops moved? It was still very busy when I first arrived a few days ago."
Li Chongrun pointed to the former South Gate shops that had turned into ruins: "Is it possible that they have all moved to the newly built port?"
"The trade went by as usual. Those shops didn't need our persuasion and just went there by themselves. Now there are not many business people left in Liucheng."
Wei Jun pointed at the open south gate. Sure enough, the open city gate also looked empty. There were already some bustling streets, with only some black knights patrolling non-stop, and many others.
Several figures dressed in various colored barbarian costumes hurried towards the south of the city under the gaze of the black knights patrolling the city.
A few of the city officials were taking a nap under the willow tree beside the city gate in the already scorching sun. When they heard the voices of barbarians asking questions, they were not as cocky as other city gate officials.
With a high-spirited look, he diligently led a group of foreigners driving camels through the simmering river digging construction site. It was not until they reached the main road that he pointed to the southeast in the distance and told them about the new trade.
direction, and then rushed back to the south gate without stopping to wait for the next wave of Hu people coming to trade.
Knowing that Chen Ziang was still busy at the new port, Li Chongrun went into the city and said hello to Luzhu, and then prepared to go to the new port to have a look. He didn't have anything to say to Chen Ziang, but the ship was sailed there and he wanted to go home.
I can only go to Huludao once.
The so-called main road to Huludao has just been repaired not long ago. Rather than being a road, it has simply been leveled and some soil taken from the roadside has been raised slightly.
He has only been wandering around the grassland for more than a month, and he has already achieved this level. Chen Ziang's work efficiency is already very good.
Riding on the horse with Wei Jun, we headed all the way to Huludao. After walking for less than an hour, we saw a very carefully designed guide point on the side of the road.
Say app——-p
Wei Jun pointed to this guide point and explained to Li Chongrun: "There are five guide points like this along the way, and two porridge factories are specially arranged in the middle to prepare for the Hu people who come to sell and buy without food. After all, there are many
A journey of more than two hundred miles would take half a day even by horseback, let alone these barbarians driving the camels."
"To be able to be so attentive, my husband and cousin really put their heart and soul into it."
The guide point was set up on a towering tree beside the road. There was a branch on the tree that stretched across the road. A few officials actually set up a platform on it. When they saw someone coming, they were leaning on it.
The people on the railing of the tree house platform hurriedly waved the small red flags in their hands to signal everyone to stop.
This scene seemed inexplicably familiar, and Li Chongrun had the urge to touch his head and check if he was wearing a helmet when he went out today.
"It turns out it's Wei Changshi, and he's going to Longgang?"
Wei Jun originally wanted to introduce Li Chongrun, but he saw him give him a vague wink, indicating that he should be quiet, so he just said hello to a few small officials who were acting as traffic lights, and started on his way again.
"It seems that my cousin is very diligent in this Yingzhou, and he can even recognize these small officials." Li Chongrun joked with his cousin with a smile.
"Yingzhou is not big. Although there are many people who come here to do business, these are the only people doing the work, or the hundreds of black knights stationed here." Wei Jun smiled at Li Chongrun, and his smile was actually a bit brighter than before.
There was such a sense of freedom and ease on Chen Ziang's face: "If you don't see each other when you look up, you will know each other after all."
"The new port in Yingzhou has been built. It will be easier after the matter is settled. What do you think, cousin?" Li Chongrun asked casually.
"After the port is built, I'm afraid there will be more things. How can it be easier..."
Wei Jun sighed: "When I was studying, I thought that as long as I was upright as an official, I could guard the place on behalf of the emperor and maintain peace. It wasn't until I did it myself that I realized that the people didn't need much, and just one mouthful of food was enough.
Yes, but the common people want the most. Wherever the rivers are not dredged, wherever the gentry is rich and unkind, they have to deal with it themselves. Wherever they dare to relax."
"The sages only told us how to be a human being, and how the world would be harmonious if everyone were good people, but they did not tell us what to do if others do not abide by the principles of being a human being."
Hearing his cousin's emotion, Li Chongrun remembered a joke about Confucianism that he saw on Station B, and told him.
Wei Jun was also a scholar who had read many books about saints and sages, so he had naturally thought about this kind of thing. When he heard Li Chongrun talk about it, he laughed with Li Chongrun.
"Your Majesty, is there anything you can do?"
"What can I do? If it's one of our own, tell him the principles of life. If he doesn't obey, beat him until he obeys."
"What if it's those barbarians?"
"If you are willing to be one of your own, please refer to the above 1."
Wei Jun thought Li Chongrun was still joking, so he didn't take it seriously. He just smiled awkwardly. "What about those who don't want to be one of their own?"
Li Chongrun didn't answer, but Bao'er muttered in the carriage: "If you don't even want to be a human being, then don't be a human being."

In the afternoon, the convoy arrived at the newly built Longgang Wharf. When Li Chongrun arrived, he saw the steam ship slowly docking at the temporary wharf built with wooden boxes on the shore.
"Oh, it's Jianzhen who is here this time. It seems that the affairs of the Japanese country have indeed been settled. It's very fast. It hasn't been long since they sent a ship to the capital of God a few years ago."
A much more mature young man on the railing at the bow of the steamship was stroking his newly shaved scalp. When he saw Li Chongrun slowly walking towards the steamship with a long string of carriages, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.
the meaning of.
"Meet sir."
When Jianzhen saw Li Chongrun coming, he didn't even bother waiting for the crew to put the gangplank on the pier. He turned over and jumped from the boat to the pier, rushing over in three steps at a time.
"It seems like you didn't eat well in Japan, so why didn't you grow much?"
Jianzhen is a little smaller than Li Chongrun, and he has reached an age where he doesn't grow much anymore. It's just that Jianzhen has gone through a period of hard life, and has not laid a good foundation. He is much smaller than the taller Li Chongrun.
many.
After greeting each other, introducing each other, and exchanging polite words, half an hour had passed by the time Li Chongrun sat down in his captain's cabin on the ship.
"Except for some ores, the Japanese country has few products. A few days ago, Mr. Chen said that he wanted to find some people to come to Yingzhou to work. He only promised to have a full meal. In Xijing alone, he could easily raise a large number of people to work in Yingzhou.
The gangsters. The situation on the island has not been sorted out yet. Although the two princes have been killed, there are still many remaining forces making trouble. The food is not bad, but the key is the lack of cloth and things to keep out the cold. The winter just passed ahead.
Many people froze to death. I came to Yingzhou this time just to talk to Mr. Chen and see if I could exchange some labor for some wool and felt."
Jianzhen didn't know if what he was doing was right. He looked at Li Chongrun cautiously and found that he had nothing to say, so he continued boldly: "Two days ago, Mr. Chen said that Fanyang was more suitable for planting rubber grass, which caused the smoke.
The output has dropped a lot, so the students thought that the climate on this island is similar to that of Fanyang, so if we can transfer the cultivation of tobacco soil to the Japanese country, we can increase our income, and it will be easier for us to control the tobacco in the future."
"Doing a labor dispatch business is indeed a good idea. As for the tobacco, you can just talk to your husband about it. Remember, don't sell it to Chinese people."
