Chapter 210 The Rule of the People

Lin Mo Niang's incident became more and more magical on Fujian Road. Even in Xinghua City, there was a shrine for the Mother of God. For a while, Taoist believers were all over southern Fujian, which made the few disciples of the Buddha sect even fewer.

At this time, Xu Shaoyang and Lin Mo Niang left. The two masters and apprentices, together with several servants of Lin's mansion, as well as Hua Gu and Zhu Rong, who wanted to follow, took a leaf of flat boat, full of the belief in teaching all people, and went to Vishena.

Although Yang Yanzhao is very reluctant to give up, it is good that Vishena is not far away from Fujian, and he can also go there when he misses it.

After saying goodbye to Xu Shaoyang, Yang Yanzhao suddenly had more things to do. He came to Fujian. At first, it was a cult, and then it was a drought. He was tired of these things, but he hadn't been in touch with government affairs for a long time.

The matter of farmland water conservancy and taxing silver silk alone is already a headache, and Lin Yuan's official document makes Yang Yanzhao full of pressure.

On the whole Fujian Road, five out of ten soldiers' equipment does not meet the requirements, and even one in ten soldiers do not even have the broken leather armor. In such a situation, it has been several years.

"Damn King Kong Zen!"

Throwing the documents in his hand on the table, Yang Yanzhao said angrily, no matter how you search, you can't weaken the soldiers' equipment. Otherwise, once the foreign bandits attack again, won't the city be lost?

Where can he find hundreds of thousands of armor, spears and feathers now?

Even if there is iron ore on Fujian Road, Yang Yanzhao does not dare to dig it and build it himself. After all, if this is known by the court, it is a major crime of conspiracy.

Rubbing the aching head, there is no other way but to write to the court. Although I understand that the Bianliang Military Department will not agree to such a huge amount, it can ask for a few pieces.

After a busy day, Yang Yanzhao only felt very tired. No matter how big or small, everything needs to be decided by him. He is very tired.

At dinner, He Yu, who had not appeared for two days, came back, and his face was quite excited. "Brother, the ship to go to sea has been built, and the little brother has been found. He will go into the water for a trial tomorrow."

Hearing this, Yang Yanzhao was happy. After asking a few questions, he agreed and promised He Yu to follow him to participate in the trial of the new ship.

The next day, at the seaside, a big ship of seven feet and eight feet was forced to the edge of the beach. The canvas on the roll was hung on the mast, and the ten ships were set open, which was really magnificent.

During the drought, there were many good craftsmen who flooded into Xinghua City. It was these thousands of craftsmen who rushed to work day and night to build these ships in less than two months. Today, they came to test and inspect these ships.

After sprinkling wine and drums and worshipping the Sea Dragon King, ten white-haired old men walked forward barefoot. The perennial wandering on the sea made their faces dark, covered with a short gossip, burlap trousers rolled up to their knees, saluted Yang Yanzhao and others, and then walked towards the ship, followed by dozens of young men. The young man looked at the big boat, and his eyes were full of joy.

With the thought of the ship's handle, the descendants around him answered the horn in unison, anchored and hung the sails, and the big ship sailed to the sea along the wind.

The lonely sail is far away, and the water is long.

"Brother, I should also be ready to go out to sea in a few days."

Hearing this, Yang Yanzhao turned his head and looked at He Yu, who was excited in his eyes, "Today, let's choose a competent person to take charge of this matter."

Although it is good to make money by doing business on the sea, it is unpredictable, and what he earns is also gambling with his life. Of course, he doesn't want his brother to take this risk.

He shook his head, and He Yu rarely showed a serious look. "I've been looking forward to going to sea this time. Now I can finally drive a boat. How can I not go? This time, all the people accompanying me are good at playing with water and waves. Naturally, my brother doesn't have to worry about it.

In this case, Yang Yanzhao no longer dissuaded him. In order to ensure He Yu's smooth departure to sea, Guo Huai led thousands of people and swept away all the bandits on the islands around Fujian.

Looking at the large amount of gold and silver and rice grain shipped back, he also cheered up. He sent Zhu Li and Xiao Muchun to lead the army to clean up the robbers on the major mountains in Fujian, and made a lot of money.

More than half a month later, the ten large ships leaning against the seaside were full of goods, most of which were silk and satin, jade utensils, and of course, porcelain, pen and ink from the Central Plains.

Looking at his attendants all boarded the ship, He Yu turned around and smiled at Yang Yanzhao and said, "Brother, I'm going now."

"Well, take care all the way." After saying that, he waved to Xiao Muchun and several people around him. The latter stepped forward and followed He Yu's side.

A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and the latter was a little puzzled, "Brother, Brother Xiao, they don't have other important things to do. How can they go with my younger brother?"

"This evening, you are going to a foreign country. Naturally, you need someone to take care of you. With Brother Xiao, I can be more relieved."

Xiao Muchun's seven people were transferred back from Jianzhou overnight. He Yu went there, and there were few people around him to protect him. Yang Yanzhao must be worried, and the poisonous scorpion was trained by him. It was no problem to protect Zhouquan.

No longer talking, He Yu bent down and made a bow, and then strode to look at the first boat. The eighth sister behind him quickly shook her little hand and shouted, "Brother He, remember to come back as soon as possible. You also promised the fish to bring me delicious things, but don't forget!"

Hearing this sound, He Yu smiled, but did not look back. He just waved his fat hand and continued to walk towards the big boat.

When the horn comes to mind, the boatman skillfully raised the anchor and hung the sails, and the autumn wind raised the canvas, sent the big ship to the sea, and gradually disappeared at the end of the sky.

Standing in the distance and looking at it for a long time, Yang Yanzhao came to his senses and led the eight sisters with words, and some emotional Luo women and others back.

When He Yu was sent away, he was inevitably worried, but what followed made Yang Yanzhao very busy. The sale of sea salt was simply handed over to Chai Qingyun and sold by Jubao Pavilion.

And he threw himself into the fields and ridges, and the grain transferred from all over the country was about to run out. Seeing that he was about to enter the beginning of winter, in all kinds of anxiety, the rice finally had a mature appearance.

Under great joy, there is no way to hesitate. Yang Yanzhao quickly sent all the soldiers from all states and counties to the fields to grab the rice harvest. After experiencing the drought, the people especially cherished the hard-won harvest, so the soldiers and the people were single-minded and quickly harvested the antiquity.

Winter came as scheduled. Although it was not as cold as the north, the wind also became much colder. With the harvested grain, the people in southern Fujian had at least enough food for the winter, and Yang Yanzhao finally responded under dozens of twists and turns, and sent thousands to southern Fujian. Shi Grain is also on the way, and he can also breathe a sigh of relief.

On this day, the wind by the sea blew towards him with cold and wet air. Yang Yanzhao took people and looked at several huge pools in front of him, which were still slowly flowing. Under the pool, countless white crystals precipitated.

Those are Fujian refined salts produced in southern Fujian and have swept the whole Central Plains.

"Sand tiger, how much is the output of sea salt now?"

He asked softly, and Shan Hu, wrapped in a thick robe behind him, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, there are salt pools in Xinghua, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and Fuzhou at present. With refined salt alone, you can produce a hundred stones every day."

One hundred stones, too little. When the court sent food, Zhao Guangyi's secret letter came, which was still only silver. Now the territory of southern Fujian has also settled down. He has no reason to shirk it. The only thing left is to quickly come up with a way to make money.

Sea salt is the only thing he can rely on at present. Naturally, the more you need, the better.

He frowned and said to the single tiger for a while, "One hundred stones are too few. While there is not much to do, it is better to open up a few more salt ponds. It is better to raise the output to 500 stones per day."

After the delivery, Yang Yanzhao took people for a few more laps. Just as he was about to go back, several fishing boats came to the seaside. Lin Yuan, who was beside him, smiled and said, "It's the fisherman who went to sea."

Listening to the cheerful fishing song with a southern Fujian accent, Yang Yanzhao was not forbidden to stand in the distance, and the rest of the people stood quietly on one side when they saw that he didn't say anything.

When I went to sea this time, I thought it was a good harvest. The dark faces of the boat's head and others were full of smiles, shouting, and calling people to drag the boat under the fishing net together.

"Go, let's go and help!"

He said with a smile. Yang Yanzhao strode forward. Lin Yuan and others were stunned for a moment, looked at each other with a smile, and then followed.

Under the fishing net, the jumping fish kept struggling and leaned forward. The first boat staggered a few steps forward. It was about to scold the person behind it, but felt a force coming, which stabilized its pace.

After wiping the sweat on his face, the middle-aged man with a hot temper was about to turn around and scold a few words, but when he saw a smiling face, his hands trembled with fear, and the fishing net was pulled out in an instant.

"Be careful."

After pulling the fishing net, Yang Yanzhao roared and then turned his head, "All work hard. Let's see how many big fish there are in the net today!"

With a burst of laughter, the handle of the boat was also added to it. Everyone held the trumpet, and it took a long time to lift the fishing net. The net was full of lively and jumping fish.

He collected the net and reached out to stop the fisherman who wanted to salute. Yang Yanzhao looked at all kinds of sea fish, but felt that many of them had been eaten, and the taste was still delicious.

"Haha, the adult actually has grouper. Last time, the eighth sister asked the subordinate, saying that the grouper was very delicious. Then he picked it up and sent someone to the adult's house."

Shan Hu said with a smile that the eighth sister is naturally the eighth sister. Since the little girl liked it, Yang Yanzhao did not refuse, so he nodded and responded.

Later, as if he remembered something, he turned to the bow and said, "These fish may sell at a good price?"

The bow of the boat whispered, "Lord, these fish can only be used for ordinary use. At present, there is sea salt, but it can be marinated and kept for future food."

It seems that it can't be sold at a good price. No wonder Fujian Road is close to the seaside. How can there be a shortage of these seafood fish? If you want to make money from everyone, you have to sell it to the Central Plains, but it's a long way, and it's already stinky before it's delivered.

I don't know why, Yang Yanzhao had a vague idea in his mind, but it was difficult to say for a moment. He only felt very aggrieved. Coincidentally, there was a broken porcelain bottle pulled up from the sea in front of him, and immediately kicked it away.

After drawing a parabolic line in the porcelain bottle, suddenly, my mind was clear, and I finally understood what I was thinking before. I immediately looked up to the sky and laughed, "Haha, you are all blessed. I want you to know what canned food is!"
