Chapter 35 Arduous Construction


readx After the breakup, Zhang Ting was no longer so relaxed.

After the banquet, he hurried back to the Meng Mansion to see the head of the family, Meng Guangshan.

This was not a small business, and the silver and copper involved were not trivial matters, and could only be decided by the head of the family.

Meng Guangshan, who was in his early forties, was thinking hard in his study.

Because the inspection department had reduced the Meng family's salt supply by one-fifth next year, Meng Guangshan had a headache and came to see him.

He understood that the previous companies were colluding to expand their respective salt supply.

Reduce the income of yourself and other small and medium-sized enterprises.

This reduction of holdings by the Meng family is still a loss, but it will be reduced again next year.

Although the family has already spread it out in banks, warehouses, shipping, etc. as a precaution, the huge profits from the salt policy are still large.

In addition, this is The direction of the wind is a sign of whether a merchant is close to the official family, and it also indirectly affects other businesses in the family.

"Call him in."

Meng Guangshan was a little surprised when he heard Zhang Ting begging for an audience.

Although Zhang Ting was the youngest among the three chief stewards, only over thirty years old, he had always been diligent and cautious, so he was still the third to come so late.

For once, Meng Guangshan could only hope that the news was not too bad.

After Zhang Ting entered the house, he did not dare to delay the head of the family too much in the evening.

After the ceremony, he told Huang Han everything he had discussed today and asked Meng Guangshan to make a decision.

Meng Guangshan thought over and over again that there was a certain risk.

After all, he was smuggling Japanese items.

However, such a large third-level commander must be in partnership with other powerful ministers and nobles.

The risk was not great.

I have not heard of any nobles. , powerful officials were convicted for this, and those arrested were all small businessmen and civilians.

And if you can build a path through this, it will be of great benefit to the expansion of your bank and warehouse, not to mention you can also make connections with the commander and the people behind him.

"Well, Zhang Ting, to be on the safe side, after the handover of the goods is completed, you and this person go to Shandong to see if it is as he said.

If it is true, it is a good thing for both our families.

It is true as he said.

Say, Zhang Ting, you take the lead."

Meng Guangshan set the rules.

Zhang Ting felt hot and hurriedly agreed.

Zhang Ting began to list the goods and deploy his own ships the next day, and arrived in Zhenjiang three days later to trade the goods.

All the heroes surrounding the Ming Dynasty are not idle, and Zhao Lie is even more busy.

Winter is about to begin this year, and winter wheat and cultivation have been completed, but next year's harvest schedule is in front of him, and Zhao Lie is counting on this land.

As an experimental field for increasing agricultural income, fertilizer is The most important thing is that in later generations, due to the hot sales of organic vegetables, Zhao Lie's second uncle was very jealous.

It was Zhao Lie who checked on the Internet and helped his uncle to establish high-temperature organic fattening.

After two years, he became proficient in it and started it in a suburban greenhouse.

Growing vegetables has greatly improved the income of my uncle's family.

Fattening is easy.

Zhao Lie asked Liu Ping to summon a hundred middle-aged and elderly military households who were farming to demonstrate how to fatten at high temperatures in a military field on the outskirts of the town.

It is said to be contained in the Essential Art of Qi Min.

It's actually quite simple.

The beggars and military households all went into battle in surprise, digging holes, cutting poles, laying layers, and adding water.

They were very busy.

As for whether they believed it or not, God knows.

Anyway, Mr.

Li left early without comment after looking at it for a while.

I wish him the best.

Ying, Zheng Yimin, and Liu Ping are Zhao Lie's relatives.

Next, Liu Ping stayed behind with a grimace.

Zhao Lie told him that he would be responsible for this matter full-time.

He drew the soul in his heart and shouted to urge everyone to master it.

He told people to use hot water and made it clear that he would teach the neighbors to master it when he returned.

He would also conduct random inspections from time to time to see if there were any Do so and deduct three months' salary.

Zhao Lie looked at the duplicitous responses from everyone and didn't bother to say more.

It was useless to talk more before there was no result.

However, when the superior officer said it, people like this did not dare not to do it.

Zhao Lie felt that in the eyes of the military households, he was like some officials of later generations.

They clearly didn't understand agriculture, but they just had an idea and asked the people below to plant a crop or fruit.

It is said that in such an agricultural scale economy zone, how to generate income for farmers and quickly achieve political achievements, as for the harvest and the aftermath, is a matter for the next official.

More than ten days later, a large number of Weihai navy warships, led by Yu Fu on the Fukushima, arrived at Shidao and transported a large amount of materials such as limestone, thousands of Liao people, dozens of craftsmen, and military remnants headed by Guo Tao and Xu Hong.

After unloading, most of the ships returned to continue loading, leaving Yu Fu to coordinate the land and sea.

The hustle and bustle of Shidao began.

The first step was to build a dock.

This was the top priority.

Zhao Lie personally went to battle and lectured at the opening ceremony.

He said that each person would be paid half a tael of silver per month and provided with three full meals.

The people of Liao were thunderous and their hearts were filled with admiration.

Then Zhao Lie led Du Li, Wang Quan and more than 20 military remnants, divided the people into several waves, and divided the Liao people into thousands corps, hundred corps, and odd brigades for easy dispatch, and began to build wharves, dugouts, and Functional areas such as craftsmen's houses, government offices, military camps, residential areas, shops, hospitals, brick kilns, lime kiln entrances, and forts were planned.

Drying kilns were also excavated at the suggestion of the shipbuilder.

Martyrs' Shrine was also designated in the west of the island bay.

A mountain of dirt.

Pig farms and chicken and duck farms were also built at the foot of the mountain, which were looked after by Liao women.

After all, feeding tens of thousands of people is not a trivial matter.

Without supplementary meat, it is difficult for the refugees to maintain their physical strength.

What Zhao Lie wants is lively Liao people, not sickly rice seedlings.

Although the production cannot be produced immediately and even has to be invested, however, a few months later, It will be produced in large quantities, which will save much more than buying.

Zhao Lie is also funny sometimes.

Later generations wanted to streamline the military and streamline administration, and eliminate the shortcomings of state-owned enterprises and small societies, but he wanted to establish a small but complete coterie in Shidao.

After a few days of hustle and bustle, we finally have a clue.

The construction of the wharf has begun, most of the pits have been excavated, and most of the kiln entrances have been excavated.

The locations of each area have been determined.

The entire Shidao Bay is a large construction site, with smoke and dust everywhere, bustling and noisy.

Change the silence here.

In order to speed up the progress of the project, Zhao Lie sent a powerful weapon such as cement.

Limestone was produced in Dengzhou and was cheap.

Under Zhao Haiming's order, the Weihai Navy brought out a few Cangshan ships to transport it.

This was really a command.

Who dares to disobey orders?

Clay is produced in the northwest of Stone Island.

It is mixed into the kiln and calcined.

After coming out of the kiln, it can be crushed and ground.

In this era, don’t point to ball mills.

They are crushed by stone mills pulled by oxen and people, and finally pounded manually.

Crush some, the efficiency is very poor, and the fineness of the powder is several levels different.

However, after all, it is original cement, which dries quickly and has high hardness, which greatly speeds up the construction speed.

However, the coarse particles are a bit cracked.

In Zhao Lie's words, let's deal with it.

After all, it does not require manpower and animal power to ram the earth, which saves time greatly.

If so many road houses are built with rammed earth, it will only take two years.

Nothing can be finished.

Zhao Lie also built a salt-making factory in the southeast corner of the bay.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty still mainly boiled salt and basically did not dry salt.

Therefore, labor and firewood were consumed a lot, and the cost of salt production was quite high.

In later generations, Zhao along the coast of Liaoning Lie has seen homemade salt-drying sites among the people.

They use cement to build several salt pools along the gentle coast, forming a ladder shape.

When the water rises, During the tide, seawater flows into the salt pond along the entrance.

When it overflows, the entrance is closed, allowing the seawater to stay in the hardened salt pond.

Taking advantage of the scorching sun and strong seaside winds, the water evaporates and dries up, leaving behind salt crystals.

The shallower pond at the top is the first to crystallize.

Then the seawater with higher salinity below is continuously poured into the uppermost pool, and the salt crystals continue to thicken, and so on.

Due to the high price of salt in Daming and the lack of money at home, Zhao Lie decided to replicate the salt pond.

The extra sea salt could be sold nearby and used to pickle dried fish.

Zhang Huan, Lan San, Yu Qiang and other fishermen families also went all out.

The military master issued a reward to buy a large amount of fresh fish.

The quantity was staggering.

All the fishing boats that could be operated in the small fishing village were dispatched.

The small boats fished offshore outside the bay.

The two larger dilapidated fishing boats went east to fish at Shidao Fishing Ground.

Zhao Lie stipulated that breakfast should be gruel and pickles, dry rice and sea vegetable soup at noon, and seafood in the evening.

When had the Liao people ever eaten such good food?

When eating, everyone was as brave as a hungry wolf, well fed and clothed warmly, which was reflected in their daily work.

That's a lot of speed, and the speed is amazing.

Zhao Lie and others wandered around the bay, living in a hut and eating seafood.

In his spare time, he laughed at himself that he had been addicted to seafood in this life.

He could eat it until he vomited, and he would shy away from the smell of seafood.

Ten days later, when Zhao Lie arrived at the Chishan Town government office with forty military remnants, Mr.

Li was stunned when he saw Zhao Lie, whose face was covered with dust and his clothes were wrinkled and smelly.

Covering it with a handkerchief, he frowned and thought to himself, after all, he is a vulgar soldier.

Wang Yue and Juaner were even more distressed and shed tears.

Zhao Lie took a bath, changed clothes, and had a hearty meal.

He could finally stop eating fish every meal and sleep soundly all night to relieve his fatigue.

Please recommend and collect it.

Thank you very much.
