Chapter 219 Asking the Sea for Food

In this typical Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, making jokes about Song, Zheng, and Chu people was cold enough, but Wang Hou still laughed a few times to save face, and then there was no movement, and Jia Xu's cheeks bulged again in anger.

However, Wang Hou was patrolling his territory with his hands behind his back, but Wang Hou lost his good mood just now, and his face became serious as well.

Why doesn't he understand what officials and counselors are worried about!The center of the base camp he chose can be said to be the place that lacks all factors for dominance in this era!Minerals are imported from Taishan County, food is imported from Xuzhou, and even people are from other places. In this society where agriculture is the basis of the economy, it is hard to start farming, but Wang Hou has not planted a single grain.

From Jia Xu's point of view, this is the same as the fortress in the sand of the people of Song Dynasty. As long as the food supplied by Guangling Chen Deng to the north is cut off, everything he has worked so hard to build will collapse, and Wang Hou will also have to change. Become a big sand sculpture.

However, Wang Hou is Wang Hou, and he himself knows that his sunshine is actually quite unstable now, which can make him succumb to the will of his advisers and Mr. Cao, and move his army northward, fighting desperately with Yuan Tan for the Luzhong Jishui Plain , and then beg for nothing like Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu, begging for the support of the local gentry, and become a puppet that is actually a ruling tool of the local gentry, he is extremely unwilling.

Now that he came out, he wasn't really wandering around, and he also had an explanation to the counselors under his command.

After a stroll, I reached the beach, which is three or four miles away from the residential area of ​​Rizhao. Like many places in Rizhao, this place has become a large construction site. Most of the ugly three-story concrete buildings have been built. On the beach, there are thousands of strong men, old and weak, digging desperately with hoes and shovels. A large trapezoidal pit with a length of more than 100 meters, a width of 20 meters, and a depth of seven or eight meters is already the first scale to be excavated.

The sand dug out is piled between the pit and the beach to block the seawater that is rushing upwards.

The orders issued by Wang Hou had to go through Jia Xu's eyes, so he didn't need to be strong, Jia Xu already knew what this place was for.

Rizhao Dock!

Wang Hou didn't plan to build a wooden house. Some of the big logs brought by Mount Tai were exported to Xuzhou by Wang Hou to exchange for grain, and the rest were pulled here to prepare for shipbuilding!
However, shipbuilding is obviously not Jia Xu's specialty!Looking at the boatman who was busy like an ant, he clasped his fists earnestly to dissuade him, and his persuasion was more practical.

"Dong Weng, Chen Taishou of Guangling, is your best friend. His ship is almost your ship, and Xuzhou ships are constantly transporting grain! You spend a lot of money and food to build a sea-going ship, which is really unnecessary! With such energy and energy Strength is not as good as sending an army to the north, Jiang Qi, the bandit leader of Chengyang County, just died under the hands of Zhou Mu, just because people are panicking, wouldn't it be beautiful to use this manpower to build armor and take Chengyang County?"

"Do you think I'm building a ship to transport grain to Xuzhou? No! Benzhou Mu is building an ocean-going fishing boat, asking for grain from the sea, and starting sea farming!"

"Sea farming???"

This word was so trendy that Jia Xu was confused, and it was rare for an old man to be deflated. When it was Wang Hou's turn, he hurriedly looked at Jia Xu with disdain, staring at Jia Xu and yelling.

"Mr. Wenhe! I invited you from the prime minister to be my deputy in Qingzhou, just to give you high expectations. Now I have transported at least 50 shi of grain from Guangling. Why can he have so much grain? Just a little Didn’t he study it? Chen Dengneng is full of fat because he used my sea farming plan to build a big ship, go into the deep sea, and fish the sea for food. He can get hundreds of thousands of stone fish meat to supplement food a year! I built my capital here, It is also because of the benefits of sea farming!"

"Mr. Wenhe! Don't drive for Qingzhou. You can't even detect the official's thoughts and plans. Instead, you obstruct it. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"Forehead……"

Jia Xu was really stunned. Although he is a poisonous warrior, he still has the basic arrogance of a warrior. When Guo Bang, Yang Feng, and Zhang Xiu were the masterminds, although he was not always loyal to them, he could come up with a plan At least they all benefited, but when it came to Wang Hou, he was sprayed as useless by him!It was like grabbing his old face and slapping his face!
However!Whether it's cotton or sea farming, he really doesn't know much about it!Even if Wang Hou complained that it was useless, he was stunned and speechless for a moment.

"Mr. Wenhe, the ruler is short and the inch is long! As the saying goes, you live to learn and learn. Since you don't know much about Haigeng, you went to Guangling to investigate. What do you think?"

Afraid of hurting his self-esteem as a high-ranking talent under him and fooling him away, his attitude softened again. Wang Hou hurriedly hugged his fist with a smile on his face. Jia Xu really thought about it for a while, and then punched him heavily.

"Dong Weng, Wenhe wants to ask you to resign for a while, and go to Guangling to investigate the sea farming you mentioned!"

"It's so good! I will write a handwritten letter when I get back, and ask Chen Yuanlong to take Mr. Wenhe to have a glimpse at sea!"

"So good!"

…………

The biggest difference between this era and the empty talk of metaphysics in the Southern Dynasties, after the rise of Neo Confucianism, the literati of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties who are so talkative, is two words, pragmatic!

Wang Hou proposed this development direction, which Jia Xu had never heard of or seen before, so he also became impatient, and stopped admonishing Wang Hou in circles, and went back to Rizhao City to pack his luggage that day On the third day, it happened that Xuzhou once again sailed northward to transport grain, and at the same time transported away the commercial timber from Mount Tai, as well as the agricultural tools produced by the Rizhao Iron and Steel Workshop, and some weapons. With this east wind, Jia Xu also carried away He got on the boat with his baggage.

"Don't worry, Dong Weng, this time, Jia must have learned the sea farming method of Chen Taishou, come back to assist the lord, and pacify Qingzhou!"

Under Wang Hou, Jia Xu has actually changed a lot. In history, this old guy is talented and talented, but he is a well-known king of turtles. Self-protection is the first priority in everything. It is up to you to adopt or not to adopt ideas. Just do it, but after partnering with Wang Hou, he is the first to get things done, don't look at Wang Hou often working against him, but this is also a sign of his recognition of Wang Hou's current Qingzhou Group, and he wants to do his part for this interest group force.

The old guy was so serious, as the leader, Wang Hou naturally couldn't beat him, and when he got on the board, he bowed heavily with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Lao is here!"

This Cao Hong Festival also came out to see off together, followed Wang Hou to watch Jia Xu go farther and farther in the boat, she couldn't help chattering excitedly in Wang Hou's ear.

"Husband, Hai Geng is really so magical? Chen Deng is in Xuzhou, can he harvest 50 shi a year?"

"50 farts! Fudge Jia!"

Mentioning this, Wang Hou couldn't help rolling his eyes, and immediately lowered his voice hastily.

"Go back and tell Wang Yuan to let him throw away the steel factory and transfer five hundred strong men to the shipyard, and try to build the sea-going ship for me first before the old guy finds out that he is tricked!"

"Forehead……"

Seeing that her husband lowered his voice and looked like a villain, the corners of Cao Hongjie's small mouth couldn't help twitching violently twice.

Zhou Mu can do such a wretched thing, fooling his advisers, there is no one but him, Wang Hou, right?
