Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 324 Stunned
Zuo Fu didn't care what the local officials and squires thought.

The accommodation of more than 5000 people is a big problem, especially in the rainy season in Hainan, it is not comfortable to live in tents all the time.

Fortunately, there are a lot of craftsmen among the people who followed her to Hainan this time, and because of the urban construction of Changzhou, these craftsmen already have some experience, so when laying out the house outside the city, they designed it without much effort. Reasonable house layout.

If things like model houses were in later generations, hundreds of people could build hundreds of them in three days. Now there are more than 5000 people plus local villagers, which is already very inefficient.

After fixing the street lights, a group of people moved in.On the first day Zuofu entered the city, he found a hidden place and established a secret base.There, she arranged a platoon of people to guard the supplies.

Moving today, such things as furniture are naturally indispensable.But Zuofu wanted to boost the local economy, so he didn't buy furniture on Taobao.

Leave these things to the local carpenters.

And the people who came with her brought bedding and tableware, so there was no need to buy these.What she wants to buy now are electric fans and indoor lights.

It's too hot in Hainan, it's impossible without a fan.

However, the sunlight is sufficient, and the energy efficiency of solar panels should be greater.One ceiling fan for each household, two table fans, plus a few energy-saving electricity, solar power can fully handle it.

The Qiongzhou yamen also installed solar panels for her, and she plans to install ceiling fans in the yamen later, and by the way, install an air conditioner and a refrigerator in her room.

Well, in this way, living here will be much more comfortable.

This is the advantage of being far away from the capital.On this Qiongzhou Island, she can enjoy the waves.

Zuo Fu was tossing vigorously, a group of officials from the magistrate's yamen also stared at him.

What on earth does this new magistrate want to do?Why is that shiny blue board installed on the roof of the yamen?
And also installed three-leaf iron bumps and long white porcelain in the yamen?
What is this for?
Soon, they knew what Zoff was going to do.

After all the people who came to Qiongzhou were arranged, Zuo Fu found Lin Li and others to connect the lines of the Yamen, and then the three views of the group of people were completely shattered!
"This this!"

Colleague Xue Yaoming widened his eyes and exclaimed, "I moved by myself!"

"This, what is this thing?! Yes, there is wind!"

The judge, Liang Zhen, also stared wide-eyed, "Could it be something like a fan? But there is no hand, no water power and no wind power, how can it be driven automatically?"

Zuo Fu smiled and said, "This is called an electric fan. As the name suggests, it is powered by electricity."

"what?!"

A group of people were completely dumbfounded.

Electricity?
The electricity during thunder and rain?
How did heavenly things attract and drive this fan?
this science...

Is it really the knowledge of the gods?
I was really puzzled, but saw the red-haired ghost who came with Zuo Fu was already kneeling on the ground, making the sign of the cross, and murmuring, "God! This is a miracle! My God, this is God's handwriting!"

Ai Julian's eyes were absent, and his expression was slack.After following Zuo Fu to this Qiongzhou, he felt that his three views had been completely broken down.

He was witnessing miracles every day, and this miracle did not happen in his country, but in the East.

Gold paves the road, silk bathes, eats and eats with porcelain...

The Eastern Land is a place that Westerners have always dreamed of.Especially after the book of Marco Polo's travels became popular in the West, everyone was lamenting why God favored that country so much and made them so rich...

This desire for wealth and God prompted them to travel across the ocean and look for the legendary golden country.

Later, they found it.Although they marveled at Daming's wealth, it also made them realize that this place might not be as rich as they thought. There were beggars and poor people here.

Those silks, those porcelains belonged to the nobility, just like theirs.

It's just that as the miracles appeared in front of Ai Julian's eyes again and again, Ai Julius felt that they were all wrong!

God still favors this nation!God has given the people of this country supreme wisdom, and now even lends them divine power to use...

"God babbling."

Xue Yaoming snorted coldly, and muttered in a low voice, "I don't know what your lord is doing with a monk from Xiyi."

"Be quiet."

Liang Zhen said: "This is a missionary, and he is also a person of great status in their country. Your Excellency has always treated him with courtesy. Even if we don't like him, we don't want to offend him."

"Humph!"

Xue Yaoming snorted coldly, and stopped taking up the topic, and didn't look at Ai Julian. He raised his head and continued to look at the fan.

The cool breeze blows down, and people feel refreshed a lot.Thinking of blowing this fan for office work in the future, I am in a particularly good mood.

Although I don't understand what the method is, but it's quite comfortable to blow.It's just that I don't know what are those long, white things that look like porcelain?
As if to answer his doubts, the guard beside Zuo Fu walked to the wall and pulled a hanging thread, and the dark room suddenly became bright.

"This?!"

The three views of a group of gentry, big and small, were shattered again.

"This, is this a lamp?!"

Zuo Fu smiled and said, "This thing is called an electric light."

"It also uses electricity?!"

Liang Zhen opened his mouth wide, "My lord, what kind of magic is this? How can you attract lightning from the sky for your own use?"

Zuo Fu shook his head, "This question is responsible, but it is definitely not a fairy method. I plan to set up a science school in the local area in the future. If you are interested, you can go and listen. After listening, you will know what it is. Something happened."

Several officials looked at each other, and they all saw shock in each other's eyes.

Want to run a school?
Is this to start a sect?
But she is the magistrate, or the Duke of the state, and His Majesty has handed over the military and political power of the entire Qiongzhou to her, so she can do whatever she says, and there is no need to fight against others.

Besides, after getting along for a while, they felt that Zuo Fu was not as arrogant and domineering as the rumors said.

Not only is she not arrogant, she is also very approachable.Think about those people in the officialdom, they also understand a little bit.

I'm afraid that Zuo Fu moved some people's interests, and someone deliberately smeared it.This pimple was gone, and with the fact that Zuo Fu had beaten the Tartars to negotiate a peace, the group of people still had a bit of admiration for her.

Therefore, this matter is a headache for those who should have a headache, and they will not come to muddy water.

Zuofu didn't know what these officials were thinking.But since they are polite on the surface now, she doesn't need to be very stiff.After all, Qiongzhou is so big, she just arrived here, and she still needs to employ people!

Installing electric fans and lights in the yamen is also improving everyone's office conditions!

"If your lord has something to do, just ask."

A group of Yamen officials expressed their willingness to cooperate.

Zuo Fu was not polite, nodded and said: "I said before that I want to build a salt farm locally. However, I heard that there is a salt farm in Danzhou, which has been passed down for hundreds of years. The salt farmers there use It is the method of drying salt, so I want to go and have a look first.”

"Adults don't know."

Liang Zhen cupped his hands and said: "Although the method of drying salt existed in the Song Dynasty, the salt produced by drying is not good. There are a lot of debris and it is very bitter. After removing those who cannot eat, there is not much salt left. It is better to cook salt." .”

Zuo Fu smiled and said: "I have said it before, your method is wrong, I have a blueprint for building a saltworks here, you can take a look."

Zuo Fu ordered Chunya to take out the blueprint he drew, "If it is completed, it will not be a problem to produce ten thousand catties of salt per day."

Although these few came to Qiongzhou to serve as officials, they belonged to the bottom households among officials, but after all, they also became officials through the imperial examination, so they still have a solid foundation.Take a look at this picture in your hand, although some parts are not very clear, but you can probably figure out the meaning.

At this moment, they faintly feel that Zuo Fu may not be bragging, maybe this thing is really feasible?
A group of officials became excited at the thought of a saltworks that could produce [-] jin a day!

If it can be done, then Qiongzhou will be richer!
"My lord, is this really possible?"

Suppressing his excitement, Xue Yaoming swallowed his saliva and said: "If it really happens, the life of the people of Qiongzhou will be..."

"Hehe, how can a salt field be enough?!"

Zuo Fu said: "Now the entire Ming Dynasty is short of salt, if we build more salt farms, besides handing over to the imperial court, we can also attract other places to buy salt with us!

With money in hand, let's develop this city, build some good inns, and attract more merchants to settle here.

In the early stage, we didn't have enough ships, so we had to rely on this to generate revenue. Otherwise, if the sea trade is open, what's the matter with us in Qiongzhou?We have only a few boats in total, all of which are used to guard against pirates, and they cannot be sailed out yet, so the few boats I bought can be used.

Can these few ships beat Guangzhou, Quanzhou, and Mingzhou? !So in the early stage, we have to relax a little bit, make money, and make some money in this city, let Qiongzhou become a transfer station on the ocean first, and let the people live a good life first! "

This is also true when several officials think about it.

How can Qiongzhou compete with Quanzhou and Guangzhou?

There are only a few boats in total, and most of them are still used for cruising, so it is impossible to go out for sea trade.And since His Majesty opened the sea trade and sent Zuo Fu to sit here, he must be very important.

and so……

If less income is generated, maybe everyone will suffer.

I can't go to sea at the moment, if I can get some money by buying salt, I can improve the wharf and the roads in the city, and attract some merchants, that would be good too.

At least, losing is not too ugly!
If you think about it this way, your thoughts will expand a lot.Liang Zhen, who was familiar with the local agricultural, mulberry and salt affairs, cupped his hands and said, "Please rest assured, my lord, I will arrange it right away."

Zuo Fu nodded, and said, "Your Lao Liang passed the sentence."

After a pause, he continued: "I've been here for many days, but I haven't seen any country gentry come to visit. Colleagues, do you know the reason for this?"

Everyone gasped for breath, and lowered their heads subconsciously.

Seeing them like this, Zuo Fu nodded lightly, "I understand. If you don't come, don't come, anyway, I can't bear it. Go tell them, as long as you pay food and taxes honestly, I won't embarrass them. But if If it's a criminal offense, then I'm sorry, I don't have any flexibility..."

　Three thousand characters!Come here first today!Goodnight everybody!
