Chapter 258: Disaster Relief Measures


"I don't dare to say that I can save Shanshan with 100,000 silver, but I can complete this impossible task as much as possible."

Lu Hanqiang said confidently and firmly, but when he said this, his eyes were fixed on Wang Gonggong, who was the supervisor of this disaster relief operation.

Wang Gonggong's eyes lit up, but when he saw Lu Hanqiang staring at him, he knew that he had a major decision that needed his own support, and this major decision might definitely cause an uproar in front of the emperor and the courtiers, and he needed to endorse him himself, that is, to explain to the emperor the reasonableness of Lu Hanqiang's actions.

Taking a deep breath, the prince didn't think much about it with a solemn face, "As long as I can save one more people, as long as I can stabilize a place and let this place be stable for a long time, I will bear all the consequences." ” Lu Hanqiang also breathed a sigh of relief: "I am relieved to get the assurance of the prison army, and at this time, I can say my way." ” The prince's hearty and willing character is not wrong, as long as he explains it, everything will go smoothly.

"The proprietor, as long as I can save as many people as possible and stabilize as much place as possible, I, Zhao Zi, will follow."

Zhao Zi straightened his body and was willing to advance and retreat with Lu Hanqiang.

Wang Dazhuang was an honest person, and knocked on his chest: "The lives of me and the thirty brothers I brought out have long belonged to your brother Lu, so there is nothing to say." ” The little fat man waved his hand: "Actually, this has nothing to do with me, I just came out to practice, but there is no regulation on the time of my training, and my father also hopes that I can spend more time outside, so when you return to Beijing, brother-in-law, I will complete the training."

Then he said with a look of fascination: "The capital is already annoying, as long as I can stay outside, I am too lazy to go back, the Loess Plateau, what a vast and fascinating sky plateau it will be." ” Zihan also smiled and said: "At home, I always deal with those women, pretending to be bored, I am very happy to have a serious thing to do now."

When she said this, she didn't forget to quietly give Lu Hanqiang a wink, in her heart, it is best that such days will never end.

Ruyun pouted: "I'm still young, I'll be homesick."

But then he happily proposed: "If I bring my sister and brother, I will be most happy to ride and hunt all day." ” "Since everyone agrees with the major policy I am about to implement, then I will say it openly and honestly here, and if there is something incomplete, everyone is picking up the missing parts."

Lu Hanqiang first set a tone, and then slowly spread his plan in front of everyone.

In fact, Lu Hanqiang's method is to spoof a huge system project, which cannot be done overnight, so he needs the prince to take on the explanation of Chongzhen who wants to be willful for himself, and the only person who explains this is the Empress Zhang, who is deeply respected by Chongzhen.

Just as in the palace at the beginning, Lu Hanqiang did not agree to exchange the poor and not even a drop in the bucket of disaster relief silver for grain to bring to Shanxi, but only asked Zun to take the cash silver to Shanxi to gain a foothold, and then attract Jiangnan merchants with low food prices to sell to him.

"I need a place, as far away from Taiyuan as possible, away from Shaanxi, and it must be on the edge of the Yellow River, there must be ferries, and there must be good quality coal, which is very important.

It would be even more perfect if there was iron ore or something. ” Zhao Zi asked in wonder: "I don't know why the proprietor wants to stay away from Taiyuan."

"Taiyuan is the place where the governor of Shanxi is stationed, and there are princes and kings living together, those people are absolutely pedantic, for what I am about to do, they will think it is deviant, and will hinder us in many ways, leave them far away, and there can also be a loose room for maneuver, as for staying away from Shaanxi, everyone knows that what I want to do is a long-term big move, I need a long period of stability, so explain you clearly" "The student understood."

Zhao Zi stopped asking questions and continued to bow his head and ponder.

"Brother Lu, the disaster relief is urgent, you can't be allowed to come slowly, even if I know that the longer it is given to you, the more beneficial it will be to the entire disaster relief activities, but the emperor and the hundred officials will definitely not wait for you to arrange it calmly, this must be known to the brothers."

Wang Gonggong stood up at this time and reminded Lu Hanqiang that it was important to get down to business.

"I know this, I buy grain from the grain merchants in the south, I am going to enter Shanxi, in Nanjing, Suzhou and Hangzhou and other places Daming News began to publish the purchase revelation, at the same time I will tell you that I will also make a good thing for Jiangnan to definitely make these merchants who transport grain to make a lot of money again, so that I will not only earn back the extra rice price money for them, but also earn more from them, so that the 100,000 disaster relief silver in our hands will give birth to more money, this part of the money, A piece should continue to be used to buy food, and at the same time, a part of it should be used to train our people, after all, I am doing things for the country, and I can't always pay out of my own pocket." knew that Lu Hanqiang was good at collecting money, but looking at Lu Hanqiang's confident appearance, everyone immediately came to the spirit.

"What can make money like this, Brother Qiang, hurry up and talk about it."

Since he took over the logistics of the army and handed over the money and materials, Zhang Zihan has fallen in love with this industry, and has the potential to be a housekeeper.

Lu Hanqiang laughed and said proudly: "Actually, the solution is very simple, I want to change the worthless coal into coke suitable for heating in the south, this profit is definitely ten times that of coal, and I also want to push this coke to smelters all over the country, and become the only smelting material in the smelter that completely replaces charcoal and coal." ” "What kind of magical thing is this, does it really have such great benefits," Zhao Zi and the others curiously asked Lu Hanqiang for confirmation.

"I'll talk about this coke first, this thing is not complicated to manufacture at all, just refining the coal, and the coke is produced, but this coke is the essence of coal, his calorific value, how to say it" Lu Hanqiang thought about what big calories to tell them, he must not understand, so he thought about it: "That is, the burning time and the amount of fire in one pound of coke are equal to the amount of ten catties of good coal." ” "So much, then we don't need to buy firewood and grass when we march, as long as we bring a little of this coke, wouldn't it be able to fully meet the needs of the army" Zihan's first eyes lit up, the army marched, firewood and grass are the largest materials, the amount of these thousand men and horses alone is quite amazing, and it is not safe, there is a lot of accumulation in the barracks to prevent fires, if there is less and I am afraid that it is not enough to need, it really makes Zihan have a headache, if this is according to what Brother Qiang said, it will be too convenient.

"It's this, not only this, but I'm mainly exchanging food with the southerners this time, and by the way, I will make a lot of money from them."

"This can also make money" "The southern miasma, hot and humid all year round, firewood and grass are difficult to dry, especially in the south in winter, in fact, more need to be warmed, but the unwilling firewood and grass smoke is too large, not suitable for direct heating in the house, and the south does not produce coal, if the north is transported over, not to mention anything else, a freight alone is sky-high, often in Beijing a stone of coal only four dollars of silver, transported to the south, the freight alone costs five dollars, and the coal is also a lot of smoke and fire, and it is not possible to use it in the study, where to use the living room, And my coke not only concentrates the essence of coal, the volume weight of one stone is equal to ten stones of coal, so it greatly solves the cost along the way, and moreover, the coke has high calorific value, long burning time, the most important thing is that there is no smoke, it is very clean, and the freight is evenly spread, even if the middle people in the south can use it, then everyone here calculates that Jiangnan is the richest place in the country, and there are so many middle people, how big their needs are, not to mention that we still have the needs of smelters in the country. ” All of you here are smart people, as long as Lu Hanqiang said this simply, all the people's eyes are bright and bright, flashing with the light of silver, even a little fat man who has no concept of silver is trembling all over his body.

"Brother-in-law, in that case, not only will we be able to complete the disaster relief mission, but will we also have countless pieces of silver in our pockets?"

Lu Hanqiang nodded affirmatively, "Yes, it is countless pieces of silver, and the water that flows into the Yellow River is endless." ” "Then I can expand the number of my family?"

"Yes, then you will be able to have the strongest family of the Ming Dynasty."

"Am I able to take these family members to chase the dead and chase the north, and establish immortal martial arts for the Ming Dynasty?"

"In principle, this is the case, as long as there is no Wenchen to hinder you, you can sweep away the Shanshan Liukou, levy the non-subordinate Mongolia, and then slaughter the Manchu Tartars, and then you don't have to inherit your father's title, and the emperor will give you a big royal hat."

"Oh hahahaha, I'm developed."

The little fat man jumped eight feet high and almost crashed into the tent.

"But, you know, it doesn't seem to be yours, it's mine."

Lu Hanqiang poured a jar of cold water on the little fat man.

"In particular, our dynasty is to unify the military with literature, as long as the number of troops exceeds 10,000 people, there must be a civil minister to supervise the division, at that time, it is not possible to do whatever you want."

The little fat man ended coldly, but instead said with a smile: "Actually, this method is easy to solve." ” "How to solve it."

Wang Gonggong was also attracted by the bright prospect of the little fat man being able to sweep the mountains and rivers with ten thousand iron horses, and asked with interest.

"Brother-in-law, you are a civil servant, in this way, I will lead the troops, you will be my supervisor, and then ask the prince to be the supervisor, hahaha, you spend the silver, you take care of the matter, I will fight, isn't this just a river shrimp" Lu Hanqiang, Wang Gonggong and Zhao Zi were all stunned, and there was no sound in the big tent for a while. t1706231537:
