Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 340 Investigation
After Li Xiang left, he didn't come back for three days.

Zoff was not worried either.Those who followed Li Xiang were all veterans except Qiao Si Yushan, a few new recruits.And also followed a reconnaissance squad, that is the elite of the elite!

Not only is his military literacy excellent, but even his culture class is the strongest among these hundreds of guards!Moreover, their equipment is relatively advanced, so it is not a big problem to deal with a few Japanese pirates.

So he didn't come back after going out for three days, Zuo Fu was not worried, instead he took this opportunity to conduct an investigation in Wenchang.

Wenchang is rich in mineral resources.Iron, tungsten, titanium, aluminum, zirconium, coal, crystal, sapphire, kaolin, quartz sand, etc. are all here.Especially quartz sand, which is very rich in minerals, will be used to make glass and ceramics in the future, and these things will be indispensable.

Moreover, the conditions for Wenchang's foreign trade are also very good.For example, Qinglan Port, which is more famous in later generations, is located in Wenchang.Excluding Qinglan Port, there are 36 natural harbors in Wenchang,
In addition to these, Wenchang is also very suitable for the development of agriculture and aquaculture, and its marine resources are also very rich.

Take Wengtian Town, which was plundered by this group of Japanese pirates, as an example.The tidal flat area there is large, the coastline is long, and the water exchange volume is fast, so a high-level pool mariculture base can be established here.In the coastal areas, pearls, abalones and other valuable aquatic products can also be cultivated.

These things are sold inland, which is very profitable.For a biology student like Zuo Fu, it is not difficult to specialize in agriculture and breeding.Therefore, it is foreseeable that once Qiongzhou's infrastructure is completed, then she will be able to explode production on Qiongzhou Island.

After writing down some information about Wenchang, she inspected the people's livelihood.

Like this poor island, the people of Wenchang still cannot escape the fate of poverty.Many people were wearing tattered clothes, and some children simply didn't wear anything, and ran across the street laughing and joking with their buttocks bare.

The arrival of Zuo Fu reassured the people in the city, and the order in the city was gradually restored.Although the city gate is still closed, everyone's mood is obviously relaxed a lot.

Naturally, these relaxed little guys couldn't stay at home anymore, and soon they ran out into the street with bare buttocks and went crazy.For this reason, Gao County Magistrate's face was very ugly.

This scene in Wenchang is not unusual. It can be said that there are such children in Qiongzhou.But now that the Shangguan is here, some kids are also running out like this, which makes County Magistrate Gao feel that his face is very dull, and he is a little worried that Zuo Fu will question him.

But Zuo Fu didn't seem to mean to blame, but just asked him whether the enthusiasm of the people to participate in labor was high.

Gao Yupu naturally answered truthfully.

There is food to eat, clothes and shoes to distribute, and the participation of the people is naturally very high.It's just that everyone is used to being poor, and seeing that although the clothes sent out are a bit weird in style, the material is really good, so they are reluctant to wear them.Therefore, most of the migrant workers still wear old clothes and sandals.

And these children still can only bare their buttocks.

After listening to Gao Yupu's answer, Zuo Fu felt a little heavy.She remembered that in the days when she was in the orphanage, she always hid the candies and chocolates that were handed out every festival. This feeling was actually the same as that of these common people.

Yes, the orphanage does not have to worry about food and clothing, but such sweets and snacks are obviously not considered daily consumer goods.Therefore, every time candy and snacks are distributed, almost all children will hide the things and keep them to eat slowly.

This heart is the same.It seems that in order to change the habits of the people, we need to work harder on economic construction. Only after they gain enough sense of security can this habit be reversed slowly.

After returning to the yamen, the next day, Zuo Fu dismissed Gao Yupu under the pretext of going out of the city for inspection. Then he found a hidden place and bought 5 sets of children's short-sleeved suits from Taobao.

The price of 5 sets of children's cotton upper and lower two-piece sets is 6.8.Considering that there are still many such children in Qiongzhou who have no clothes to wear, Zuofu simply bought [-] sets of such clothes.

The styles of these clothes are very simple, not to mention beautiful, but it is better to have some clothes than none at all than to be naked.

Those children in Qiongshan, because of the benefits of the provincial government, their parents' financial conditions are better.So after receiving the new clothes, some children put on the old clothes modified from their parents' clothes.

Since I came here, I have been busy with infrastructure construction, but I have been a little negligent about this.Now that the problem has been discovered, it is good to solve it by the way.

45000 pieces were left in the Taobao space, and the remaining 5000 pieces were moved to the car by a group of soldiers, and then returned to the city.

Looking at the pile of clothes, Gao Yupu was dumbfounded.

The magistrate went out for a circle and came back, why did he have so many clothes for children?

These clothes are so beautiful!Although the color is quite plain, the white bears (pandas) printed on the chest are quite cute, but the style is still weird, maybe it’s just like what my colleagues said, in fact, these things are obtained from the sky by adults of?Is this popular among the gods in the sky?
It's not surprising that Gao Yupu would think so.Anyway, these officials and gentlemen have been fascinated by the supplies sent by Zuo Fu recently, and they always feel that the rumors in the inland official circles are not malicious rumors deliberately spread by someone.

This lord is probably a fairy, right?Otherwise, where do so many things come from?Just get it out?

However, no matter what, it is always good for the children to have clothes to wear.Although she still showed her arms and legs, it was better than being naked now.

With Zuo Fu sitting here, Gao Yupu didn't dare to be lazy.Immediately summoned his generals, and called all the owners of the workshops.It took half a day to verify the children under the age of 12 in each household, and then reported the number to Zuofer.

Looking at the number of people, Zuo Fu asked in confusion, "There are only more than 12 children under the age of 700?"

Gao Yupu was ashamed for a while, and said: "My lord, the population and number of households in Wenchang County have been declining since the Wanli period. Wenchang is surrounded by sea on three sides, and pirates are easy to enter, so..."

"Then how many households are there in Wenchang now?"

"Yes, there are 5102 households. The population is about 2."

"Where are those Li people?"

"There are records in the yamen that there are 35 caves, and there are about 2000 people."

Zuo Fu supported his forehead, and couldn't help but said: "Our labor force is really too little. Those students live in the deep mountains, living conditions are harsh, and there are not many people. Even if they are all influenced by us, how much labor can they provide?

Not to mention those Miao people.I reckon that Liu Baihu should have returned from Guangzhou in the past two days. If Guangzhou allows us to take refugees to Qiong for reclamation, then the labor gap may be filled.If not, I'm afraid we have to get some people from abroad. "
