Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 337
"These missionaries are the most learned men in their country."

Jiang Yiming nodded, "But what's interesting is that they set up schools to teach and educate people just to prove the existence of God."

He shook his head, "I don't think it's advisable to wait for such dross."

A momentary dullness appeared on Cheng Hui's face.

Xiyi people read and read just to find the gods?

Why do you feel a little nonsense?
As a traditional literati of the Ming Dynasty, Cheng Hui admired the gods, but he also knew the truth of "respect ghosts and gods and keep them at a distance".

Ordinary people have limited wisdom, and they haven't figured out their own affairs, so how can they think about God's affairs?Instead, live the current life well and keep the morality of the world well, then even mortals can become holy.

Shaking his head lightly, he said, "It's a pity..."

Sighing, he didn't bother with the topic anymore.Someone called the soldiers from the express store, and after handing over the salt lump to him, he wrote another report and sent the soldiers to Qiongshan on fast horses.

Zuo Fu was also very happy after receiving the news.For the time being, Qiongzhou still has any blockbuster products that can be sold.Like porcelain, the level of production is far inferior to that of inland craftsmen.And now that the salt farm can produce salt, it also means that Qiongzhou finally has a competitive product that can be sold.

The news of Daming opening the sea has spread these days.I heard that many foreign merchants from Guangzhou, Mingzhou, and Quanzhou have come to the shore for trade. I heard that the business is booming, which makes a group of people in the shipping department happy.

On the other hand, there was no movement in Qiongzhou.Occasionally, one or two sea merchants docked, and they only used this place as a transit point for rest.However, Qiongzhou is not very developed, and the supplies it can provide are also very limited. Some people who are waiting on the shore, except for a little water and a small amount of food, go ashore to have fun.

In response to this point, Zuo Fu has posted a notice: Brothels are prohibited, and foreigners are received in hook bars.

At this time, it was the era of great geographical discovery. When Europeans explored geography, they also spread some diseases to the whole world.For example, syphilis, which is famous in later generations, landed in China during this period, and then spread from Guangzhou, from south to north, from the coast to the inland.

At that time, this disease, which was called "Yangmei sore" in China, was terminally ill before the advent of penicillin.

Zuofu will never allow this disease to spread in Qiongzhou, so she has organized people and set up quarantine stations at various ports, and everyone who lands must undergo a preliminary inspection.

Now that the conditions are limited, that's all she can do.But these preliminary inspections can also prevent the spread of some diseases. When conditions permit in the future, it will not be too late to plan slowly.

For those recreational places, Zuo Fu also issued a quadruple test paper.All practitioners must take blood for examination, and if they are found to be sick, they must be treated compulsively.

And her next plan is to shut down all the sex industries on the island!Many girls in brothels in this era are coerced, so Zuo Fu felt that it was necessary to liberate them.

Through her experience in Changzhou, she feels that once these brothel women have the opportunity to get out of the fire pit and give them respect, their enthusiasm for restarting a new life is very high.Now, in her medical team, many are brothel women.

Since it works in Changzhou, it should be possible to try it here.So, when something is on the right track, she can free up her hands to sort it out!
But right now, all she can do is to exclude some susceptible people first, and protect the safety of these women to the greatest extent.

Fortunately, Qiongzhou is poor, and there are not many such places, so it is relatively easy to rectify.Those old bustards didn't dare to confront Zuo Fu openly.

Even Wu Dianshi, the God of Killing, would kill as soon as he said he wanted to, let alone kill them.Can the brave men recruited by the lords behind them beat this lord's elite soldiers?Not to mention, she also brought over 5000 people from her hometown.

Those guys are all very strong, especially the group of short-haired (bandits with their hair shaved), they look very fierce and not easy to provoke.

So, if you don't pick it up, don't pick it up... Besides, the barbarians stink so badly, and all the masters in Qiongzhou hate them, so it's better to just reject those barbarians because of the government's ban.

Zuo Fu banned foreigners from going ashore to seek pleasure, and Qiongzhou had nothing to trade, so fewer merchants came to Qiongzhou.

Now that the salt field produces salt, it proves that Zuo Fu's method of building salt ponds is no problem, so in the future, she only needs to build more salt ponds to increase production, and then she can start trading.

Before modern times, salt was a precious thing no matter which country it was in. For example, China's neighboring countries had a great demand for salt.

The salt produced in Qiongzhou now is no different from the salt of later generations except for the lack of iodine.Pure taste, just the best product of the trade.

And the few boats she bought from Fuzhou can run around Southeast Asia, Japan and North Korea without any problem.So Zuo Fu planned to organize people to go to sea immediately after the typhoon season.

If others don't come, can't I take the initiative to attack?

Pick up a pen to write the official document, and let the soldiers of the urgent delivery shop bring the official document back.

There were no other requirements in the letter, only one: build salt ponds and expand production.

Cheng Hui who received the letter was also unambiguous.Immediately organized people and continued to expand the saltworks.The output of the newly completed saltworks gave him great confidence.He felt that the opportunity to make a fortune was at hand.Once the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi agrees to this matter, then Lingao will be rich in the future!

At this moment, Qiongzhou Island has also become a huge construction site.Cities and roads are being built in all coastal areas.Many villagers were attracted and joined the construction team.After the Miao people hiding in the deep mountains saw the official notice, some people also came down the mountain to ask for work.

The masters of the states and counties had already received Zuo Fu's instructions and dared not neglect these valuable labor forces.With a flick of a pen, these Miao people were also drawn into the team.

Some quick-witted officials even went deep into the mountains and called on these Miao people to come down to work for the government.

They could see that the new magistrate was determined to repair all the roads in Qiongzhou.And every three years of their assessment, the magistrate must first write a comment. For the sake of official career, they have to work harder.

Now money and food are abundant, but what is lacking is people.Therefore, these "Miao barbarians" and "Li barbarians" who have never been seen have become the sweet pastry in the eyes of the masters of various states and counties.

After all, why did these people always make trouble before?Isn't it too poor?Now that the magistrate has opened up the supply of food, if they do not do well, I am afraid that after three years, they will be able to pack up and go home by themselves, and they will no longer need to be officials.

As a result, Qiongzhou Island, which was originally lifeless, is now completely alive.The masters of the state capitals personally went to the mountains and the countryside to do the work of all kinds of people. They had only one purpose: to trick all the people who looked like people in their territory to work, and strive to do better and more than other counties!
