Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 388 Trying to grab it?
Zuo Fu rubbed his eyebrows, feeling his brain hurt.

how to say?After modifying the works of the great men to cover up the traces of the times, and sending them to these officials, they really spent time studying them.Not only did he study it, but he was able to combine it with Confucianism to create a set of theories suitable for the operation of Ming society at that time.

After learning the relevant scientific knowledge and studying the works of great men, they have a clear understanding of why Daming has fallen to where it is today.

I have to say that you can't look down on those who can be admitted to Jinshi these days, even if they are a top three Jinshi.This learning ability and understanding ability are not generally strong.And these people have a characteristic, that is, they have a strong sense of exploration.

They saw strange machines and strange and novel things, but they also saw the specialness of Zuofu's employment system.

After reading these works, some vague concepts were explained, and then, suddenly, they found that they had found a broad road.

If we go down this road, isn't it the Great Harmony that the sages talked about?
Zuofu didn't show everything to these ancients.In fact, all the things she gave have been cut and modified by her.

Things of later generations may not be suitable for one era, so some things still need to be deleted.But these ancient people were able to combine these theories with Confucianism and create a theory suitable for the Ming Dynasty, which really surprised and pleased her.

She felt that as long as these officials continued to work hard in this direction, sooner or later Daming would undergo earth-shaking changes.

Of course, now is not the time to imagine the future.Because if the labor shortage is not solved, let alone the future of Daming, Qiongzhou will be capsized right now.

They have received a large number of orders, and there are still many infrastructure projects that have not been completed. The labor gap is now as high as more than [-].Many workers are now divided into three shifts, and they only have two days off in January, while officials have no vacation at all, and work more than twelve hours a day.

These twelve hours are really working, not just dawdling.Not only do you have to review official documents, but you also have to go to the mountains and the countryside in person.In order to save time, some officials don't even sit in the sedan chair, and directly put on the improved Hanfu and go to work by bicycle.

In this way, they are still too slow.Qiongzhou now has a batch of small blessing boats specially used by these officials, otherwise you would have to ride a dead man to ride a bicycle!
Zheng is a swallowing beast.Who knows how their business line is so developed.Since contacting them a few years ago, they have sent a child from the clan here to be in charge of trade.And every time they place an order, it scares people to death.

And since the first clipper ship went into the sea last year, this group of people saw the benefits of the clipper ship, and sent over 300 million taels of silver in one go, and ordered fifteen clippers at a price of 20 each. Ships occupy the two-year production capacity of the newly built Qionghai Shipyard in Qiongzhou.

The keels of this flying shear ship are all made of steel. After careful consideration and research by the craftsmen, they have been optimized, not to mention the waterproof cabin, and the bottom layer is covered with copper plates. The sail and mast control devices use The pulley block and mechanical structure are replaced, and it is not only faster to build, but also better, faster and stronger than the original flying shear ship in history!
Of course, the design of the copper-clad plate and the pulley block Shenma is for Qiongzhou's own use, and the one sold to Zheng's is still made of wood.Anyway, they provided the keel, and Qiongzhou was not responsible for the materials, but only for the construction.The cost is 20 a piece, buy it if you like it, and get out if you don’t!
People who have the power of science and technology should be so arrogant!

Of course, that being said, while being bullish when it comes to doing business, someone can't be bullish when you think about a 30 month lead time.

The deadline is too tight.

These officials really need to cool down!They have considered everything, but they have not considered that there will be a labor shortage in Qiongzhou.Thirty months can indeed be delivered with the current capacity, but if all the boatmen are transferred, will Qiongzhou still have to build ships?
Thinking of this, Zuo Fu breathed out a sigh of relief, and said, "Chun Ya, ask Mama Liu to make a Shui Pu egg for you adults. You've been arguing for a long time, are you tired too? Let's eat something and discuss things slowly."

"My lord, I can't wait!"

Mao Yu obviously had a short temper, and said repeatedly: "We have arranged everything that can be slowed down, and the rest cannot be slowed down!"

"Ugh!"

Xue Yaoming couldn't help stomping his feet, "How could such a thing happen?! With so much money in our hands, we can't even recruit anyone. Are we really going to Nanyang to pull those slackers back to make up the numbers?"

"Don't!"

Mao Yu gritted his teeth, "A group of uncivilized aborigines dawdle in doing things, and something bad happened!"

"Sit down and talk!"

Zuo Fu frowned, "Don't you even have the eyesight to see?! Come on, one counts one by one, bring the folding chairs, let the colleagues sit down and talk! Also, bring me some melon and fruit tea! Hurry up in the kitchen , Serve the Shui Pu Eggs quickly!"

Seeing that Zuo Fu's language was getting uncomfortable, these people didn't dare to repeat it, they all stopped talking and sat down.

The atmosphere was a little more relaxed, but only slightly.A group of state and county officials pursed their lips and frowned, obviously feeling heavy in their hearts and did not want to relax.

The Shui Pu Eggs arrived quickly.Zuo Fu was disturbed by this group of people and didn't eat breakfast. He was hungry now, and he didn't talk to these people. After eating two Shui Pu eggs with a bowl, he wiped his mouth and said: "The order It must be completed first. In the world, the most important thing is reputation. We in Qiongzhou rely on this to get to where we are today, so orders must be ranked first!"

"Then, that hydropower station..."

Cheng Hui was in a hurry, "No, don't you care?"

"Naturally it has to be managed."

Zuo Fu pondered for a moment, then said: "There are only so many people for the time being, if it doesn't work, some roadbeds should be suspended."

"My lord, this can't be done! That way the Li people will make trouble!"

Mao Yu hurriedly said: "Many dongs that have passed through the road have started business with us. Their glutinous rice wine, woven cotton, and fragrant rice are very popular for export. Xiyi people especially like their hand-woven cotton and silver. Jewelry, Li people are now friendly to our Han people, probably because we have created wealth for them and improved their lives!
Many Li people who have no roads hope that their caves can be connected to the road, so as to save the pain of going down and up the mountain, shorten the transportation time, and make a fortune together.If the road construction is suspended, I'm afraid there will be trouble! "

"Then what do you say?!"

Zuo Fu spread his hands, "Even if you put me in a frying pan today, I can't get anyone out. People from all states and all walks of life saw us Qiongzhou people as if they had seen a ghost, turned around and ran away, We are not allowed to recruit workers inside, all kinds of soft nails, drive my people back, what do you think I can do? Already!"

Everyone was silent for a while, and after a while, Mao Yu tentatively said: "Your Honor, why don't you let the Japanese pretend to be... let's try to grab it?"
