Xu Guangqi was both happy and excited after hearing the craftsmen. He was very suitable for transporting people with rafts on the upper reaches of the Yellow River. There are too many dangerous shoals on the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and it is not easy to sail. If he had to take a boat, he could only rely on a large number of manpower to pull the boat upwards. It would be very laborious. If he used rafts on transport people, he would use a carriage or mule and horse to transport the rafts on the upper reaches. In this way, things would be much simpler. Xu Guangqi did not have anyone in his hands, but the key was that there was no food. There was a shortage of food in the whole province of Shaanxi, and it was not easy to transfer food from other places. It was too much consumption. Only by transporting all the victims out was the way out.

"In this way, is it feasible to make large-scale leather rafts to transport disaster victims?" Xu Guangqi smiled and stroked his beard, chatting with the craftsmen happily.

"It's totally OK, but I don't know how many sheepskin rafts you want to make? Immigration is not a small number!" asked a craftsman.

"Each county has a minimum of 2,000 people, and more than 80 prefectures and counties in Shaanxi are afraid of having more than 100,000 animals with skin fetuses..." Xu Guangqi explained with a smile.

Craftsmen look at me, I look at you, and they are all so surprised that they can't stop. More than 100,000 animals are going to be slaughtered, peeled, and made a fetus. How many craftsmen do they need to be?

The man with some knowledge said: "If you want to go to the master, this is indeed possible, but it is difficult to find so many craftsmen. Our Xi'an Mansion uses sheepskin rafts the most. To be honest, if you want to make more than 100,000 animals, Xi'an Mansion will have no way to drive it out. This will mislead the adults and mislead the immigration matter. We have no ability..." The craftsman also knew that the living Bodhisattva Lord Xu wanted to use a leather raft to transport disaster victims. The shorter the time to transport disaster victims, the better. Let them kill more than 100,000 animals. It would not work in less than half a year, so he immediately refused.

"Haha, don't worry, I mean to recruit craftsmen who work as sheepskin rafts in Shaanxi. Each prefecture and county only has two thousand leather fetuses..." Xu Guangqi explained.

Hearing this, the craftsmen breathed a sigh of relief. The craftsman with some knowledge said, "When you say that you can make leather rafts, you can use leather rafts. In fact, the most common place is the upper reaches of the Yellow River, passing by Lao Dongshengwei, and going to Ningxia Town, even Lanzhou and Gansu Town, where, whether it is making leather rafts, using leather rafts, or carrying people and cargo, it is very common. There are a large number of people who specialize in making a living by leather rafts. If adults want to make a batch of leather rafts as soon as possible, they can ask people to go to the upper reaches of the Yellow River and to Ningxia Town, and there, leaning against the Yellow River, often

There are people in the whole village who rely on this for a living. On the one hand, adults can buy a lot of ready-made leather feces without making them. Moreover, it only takes two or three days to go down the river to reach the old Dongshengwei of our dynasty. It is very convenient. There are many livestock there. There are close to the desert grassland. The most in short supply on the grassland is the livestock. There are not a few thousand or tens of thousands of livestock in that tribe? As long as adults can afford the price, or they are willing to exchange things urgently needed by those tribes on the grassland, they can easily get a large number of livestock and leather feces..." This knowledgeable craftsman said in detail about the leather raft.

Xu Guangqi was as if he had found a treasure and couldn't help but clap his hands and said, "Good idea, good idea! This father-in-law, it seems that you are quite familiar with this matter!"

"Sir, I learned this craft from the young man there back then and worked in the raft there for many years, so I was familiar with it. Later, when I got older, I went to Xi'an Prefecture to make a living. Therefore, I am still familiar with the things there." The craftsman explained.

"Okay, okay, okay! This father-in-law, I wonder if I can do this for a favor?" Xu Guangqi made a quick decision and prepared to go to Ningxia and Gansu to find someone to buy rafts. He was preparing to let this craftsman who was familiar with the situation there to lead a way, so he could quickly obtain a lot of rafts, and then go down the river. He could go to Yansui in a few days, go to Fugu County, where to pick up and drop off from Shaanxi.

"My sir, just say that if there is anything that can help you, the grass people will never refuse. The adults are living Bodhisattvas. The grass people can do things with living Bodhisattvas, which is a blessing they have cultivated in their previous life..." The craftsman immediately agreed. Other yamen asked him to do things, but he was afraid of it out of fear, but the sect and agricultural department is different. The sect and agricultural department is a sect and he went willingly.

"Okay, what I mean is that I will immediately send people to Ningxia and Gansu towns to buy leather rafts and recruit a group of people who make leather rafts and make leather rafts. I need one person to lead the way. I wonder if my father-in-law is willing to do so?" Xu Guangqi asked.

"If you want to say that, this is no problem. This grass people are the most familiar. There are many people who specialize in making a living by rafts on the Yellow River. As long as you say something from an adult, the grass people will guarantee that they will immediately drive a leather raft to save people. As the saying goes, save a life and create a seven-level pagoda. The adults save millions of disaster victims. The grass people are willing to follow the adults to save people..." This person with some insight is also a person with a temperament. He heard that Xu Guangqi was going to rescue the victims and immediately agreed to help.

"Okay, my father-in-law went home to clean up and say goodbye to the house. After I made some arrangements, I immediately set off for Ningxia and Gansu Town, and tried to buy leather rafts as soon as possible and find those who made leather rafts." Seeing that the matter was urgent, Xu Guangqi immediately made a decision without hesitation.

"Okay! Caomin will say goodbye to his family and follow the adults..." The father-in-law was full of passion, and dazzling glory burst out on his old face.

"Sir, we are willing to follow you, sir, please accept us..." The group of craftsmen saw someone climbing up to Xu Guangqi, a living Bodhisattva, and were not willing to be outdone, and they also petitioned and wanted to go.

"Haha, everyone, please be careful. Please stay in Xi'an Prefecture for the time being. Xi'an Prefecture still requires you to make leather rafts. When you go to Ningxia, you only need a word "fast". Too many people, it will delay your trip..."

The craftsmen then gave up.

...

"Jade rope, jade rope?" Xu Guangqi sent away the craftsman and immediately consulted Zhou Yanru. Unfortunately, Zhou Yanru ran away without a trace.

"Master Xu, I'm here, here." Zhou Yanru immediately came out from behind. Just now, Xu Guangqi met the craftsmen, but he was so angry that he was so angry that he took the opportunity and quietly escaped, but he was afraid that he would miss something and didn't hear it. So he hid behind the living room and eavesdropped, in order not to infuse those people. When he heard Xu Guangqi's call, he came out immediately.

"Yu Sheng, did you hear what happened just now?" Xu Guangqi was a little dissatisfied. Zhou Yanru still had many problems. One of them was that he did not know the sufferings of the people, had no connection with the people, did not understand the life of the people, and did not like the people, and he did not like the people. This shortcoming will definitely greatly limit the development of Zhou Yanru in the future. In the future, even if Zhou Yanru climbed into the cabinet, if this problem did not change, he would be afraid that it would not be a good cabinet. Xu Guangqi was worried secretly. Seeing Zhou Yanru's guy, who was in his thirties and had become the deputy imperial envoy of immigration at a young age, it would be natural to enter the cabinet in the future. If he used this kind of auxiliary minister who did not know the sufferings of the people, did not understand the lives of the people, and refused to contact the people, he was afraid that this was not the blessing of the court, and he was afraid that it was not the blessing of His Majesty.

"Haha, Master Xu, just now, the jade rope is not missed. I heard that Master Xu, going to Ningxia and Gansu Town to buy rafts, this is a good thing! I heard that there are a large number of people who make a living with rafts there, but they can carry the victims of Gansu and Ningxia Town down the river and save many victims, which is much easier than going by land. If their rafts arrive at Fugu County, Fugu, Xingxian, Jiaxian and other disaster victims along the Yellow River, it will not be a problem! I calculated that at most, you can go to Ningxia Town in five or six days, and then buy rafts, recruit those who make a living with rafts, go down the Yellow River, at a speed of 400 miles a day, for a total of ten days! I calculated that at most, you can go to Ningxia Town in five or six days.

, You can go to Fugu County with a raft, so it can save time a lot... By the way, I heard from the old craftsman that there are a large number of nomadic tribes above the Dongshengwei. Perhaps, we can buy a large number of cattle and sheep from them, so that the craftsmen can make a raft and the meat will be made into a raft. In this way, it may be easier than transferring food from Jiangnan. Anyway, it is just an emergency. It will be fine after surviving October. By that time, the victims have almost moved out of Shaanxi, so there is no fear of the lack of food in Shaanxi. Master Xu, what do you think?" Zhou Yanru is not a stupid person. Although he has some problems, he is also a transparent person. From various news, he quickly organized many useful methods.

Xu Guangqi sighed, Zhou Yanru! He needs more training, intelligence and intelligence, and he is also the top young scholar. People are inevitably a little "spoiled" and they have to be more tempered! He will be the emperor's good helper when he enters the cabinet in the future. Xu Guangqi buried his head and said, "Yu Qiang is right. This matter is indeed a good idea. Since there are a large number of sheepskin rafts in Ningxia and Gansu Town, and they can even transport tens of thousands of kilograms of goods with sheepskin rafts, then there will definitely be a group of people relying on this raft to make a living. Then we will go out to the old Dongshengwei, and go to Ningxia and Gansu Town to search for these rafts everywhere, so that they can carry disasters with rafts.

The people, going down the river, can solve the problem of the victims in Ningxia and Gansu towns. Then drive the raft to Fugu to transport the victims, which is a powerful tool for transporting the victims... Then, outside the wall, I look for those tribes to buy cattle and sheep in large quantities. They don’t look at the quality of cattle and sheep. As long as they can be made, they will be made, the skin will be made, and the meat will be made into dried meat, and then float down the Yellow River. This is much more convenient than transporting food from the south. Jade rope is good. Although eating meat is a bit luxurious, as long as we persist until October, the victims in Shaanxi will be almost as lucky as they are... Luxury is extravagant..." Xu Guangqi said so.

"...In this case, then, I feel that there is still a lack of one person to supervise this matter. This matter is of great importance. Recruiting raft tourists, buying rafts, and buying cattle and sheep will have a lot of money to handle. If I were not a trustworthy person, I would not be at ease. Besides, these things are far away in Ningxia, Gansu Town, and too far from Xi'an. In order to facilitate the behavior, I need someone who can decide on the spot. Therefore, I think it is better for you to go to the jade rope!" Xu Guangqi felt that Zhou Yanru really needed some training and needed to get rid of his problems so that he could enter the pavilion in the future and assist the emperor well.

Zhou Yanru was stunned. Xu Guangqi wanted to send him to Ningxia to collect rafts and sell cattle and sheep... This was really shooting himself in the foot. He ran from Xi'an to Ningxia for five or six days... Zhou Yanru felt that his butt was probably going to be polished. Thinking about what cattle and sheep to buy with the Mongolian tribe in this hot day, Zhou Yanru felt that he smelled a smell of cattle and sheep.

"...This, Master Xu...This..." Zhou Yanru began to look bitter and wanted to refuse this job, but he really had no words. The idea was paid by himself. The money he handled was indeed quite large, and he would probably have more than 100,000 taels of silver. It would be right to find someone with the right to make decisions and reliable to do this. After all, Ningxia and Gansu Town are too far away.

"Jade rope, this matter is of great importance. If someone else goes, I am not at ease. Only when the jade rope goes, I am at ease..." Xu Guangqi thought about Zhou Yanru's efforts to temper more and remove the "pride" spirit in his body.

"...But Master Xu, this matter can actually be done by immigrant officials. Now there are many talents in this immigrant official who can appoint one or several people to do it. The integrity of the immigrant official is still reliable." Zhou Yanru began to make excuses for himself and shirked.

"Well, Yu Sheng is right, Immigration officials... Well, I have to send someone to notify the immigration officials from all over the country and start buying cattle and sheep. In all prefectures and counties with rivers, according to the situation, each county temporarily has two thousand leather tires and is making leather rafts. We must strive to transport the victims out of Shaanxi before the end of October to have a way out! If the heavy task of immigration can be completed, it will be a great achievement... Yu Sheng, the more I think about it, the more I think, the more I should handle this matter as soon as possible. From Xi'an Prefecture to Ningxia, it will take only three days to send the news to Ningxia Town to prepare for the immigration officials in Ningxia Town. In addition, I will go to Bi Da again to get the news to Bi Da.

If someone asks for an order, the Ningxia Town government will also help. The jade rope does not have to travel 500 miles a day. It will be almost done in five or six days to reach Ningxia Town. When we arrive in Ningxia Town, we believe that the immigration officials of Ningxia Town and the local government have prepared the jade rope almost exactly. As long as the jade rope is made a decision, we can immediately make a large-scale leather raft and purchase cattle and sheep. We also ask the jade rope to put the country first, the country of the Ming Dynasty first, and the people of the Ming Dynasty first, and we must do this well..." Xu Guangqi is not a pedantic person. Seeing such a good opportunity to "train" Zhou Yanru, he is willing to miss it. He immediately asked Zhou Yanru to go to Ningxia Town to do the job...

Zhou Yanru wanted to cry. Judging from Xu Guangqi's meaning, he had to go. He was about to arrive in 1,500 miles, and it was about to arrive in 5 and 6 days. Wouldn't he have to run two or three hundred miles a day? Zhou Yanru thought about his butt, afraid it would bloom, and think about the hot weather..., and said sadly: "Master Xu, I'm going to Ningxia Town in 5 and 6 days. Isn't it too urgent?" Zhou Yanru began to plead with mercy. If Xu Guangqi had to go by himself, then he really had to go. How did he come from the deputy imperial envoy? He knew in his heart that the original name was that Xu Guangqi was too old and could not be too tired, so he had to be a young man to help Xu Guangqi run errands. Therefore, Xu Guangqi, the official imperial envoy, had absolutely the right to command the deputy imperial envoy who helped him run errands. Otherwise, Xu Guangqi would say a few words in front of the emperor, and the deputy imperial envoy would have to replace him.

"Oh, Yusheng, I am also for your own good. If you are young, you have to be more tempered. When you go to Ningxia Town, you must pay more attention to the sufferings of the people, understand the trends of the people, and deal with the people more often. In the future, you can give advice to Your Majesty. Otherwise, with Your Majesty's wiseness, you are afraid that even if you enter the cabinet, Your Majesty will not be favored." Xu Guangqi still told Zhou Yanru the truth. No matter what, Zhou Yanru has indeed put a lot of effort into this period of time. Although he still doesn't like it, he thinks that Zhou Yanru is a talent that can be created. Judging from his future growth, entering the cabinet is almost a foregone conclusion, so it is necessary to remind him.

Zhou Yanru was very ashamed. Xu Guangqi was talking about his fault. He knew this. However, there was no way to see those lowly people. Zhou Yanru couldn't help but float his eyes up and raised his chin up. He couldn't help but look down on him. When Xu Guangqi said that he would enter the cabinet in the future and the emperor looked down on this sentence, Zhou Yanru was so ashamed that he lowered his head and had no face to see people. The emperor was called "saint". It was not unreasonable. The things he did were all major things beyond ordinary people's expectations. Ordinary people, general matters, the emperor really looked down on him. Thinking of dealing with the "saint" emperor in the future. If he still had such a temper, he was afraid that he would really be similar to what Xu Guangqi said. The emperor looked down on him because the emperor was not easy to fool...

"Oh... Yu Sheng, please arrange this matter first and send someone to notify the immigration officials from all over the country to make a leather raft immediately. For money, the Ministry of Agriculture Department will pay a part of the money first, and let them think of more ways to think of others. After I ask for money from His Majesty, they will not lose a penny. Let them start building a leather raft immediately without delay. If there are any people who are not good at doing things, don't blame me for being ruthless..." Xu Guangqi also said a ruthless saying. At this critical moment, naturally I don't want anyone to lose. At the critical moment, I don't care about anything else. Now it's the Ministry of Agriculture Department and those rebels who rebel, and he can't afford to lose.

Zhou Yanru was still lowering his head in shame, thinking about how to avoid this level. When he heard Xu Guangqi's harsh words, he was shocked and thought he was talking about him, so he immediately agreed.

"...Jade rope! After you have done this, you will set off immediately, bring 100,000 silver coins to search for rafts. Whether it is possible to build, use, or put the rafts, let them all go to Fugu County, and then buy a large number of livestock outside my side wall. You can think more about this. I believe that the smartness of the jade rope should not mislead. I still said that if it is wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless. The situation in Shaanxi is urgent.

To what extent, Jade Rope is the most clear, so I won't repeat it..." Xu Guangqi made up his mind that he must build a large-scale leather raft and strive to transfer the victims out of Shaanxi as much as possible by the end of October. Only in this way can the tug-of-war between the Agricultural Department and the rebellion win. Once it is delayed until November, after the Yellow River is frozen, the ability to transport the victims will be greatly reduced. At that time, he will be unable to compete with those who want to rebel, and life and death will be successful or failure in this one.

Seeing Xu Guangqi's speech so resolutely, Zhou Yanru felt resentful and knew that no matter how he made a quibble, he could do nothing. Others were the imperial envoys, and he was just the deputy imperial envoy who ran errands for the imperial envoys, so he had to listen to others.

"...Ah, Yusheng, the road is not very safe when you go to Ningxia Town, let alone you have to buy and sell cattle and sheep with the Mongols outside the wall. In this way, you will bring the three hundred imperial guards over there, so that the road will be safer..." Xu Guangqi did not want to drive Zhou Yanru out of all, but just wanted to hone Zhou Yanru so that this guy who would definitely enter the cabinet in the future would have more experience and less "spicy".

Zhou Yanru was moved again. The three hundred imperial envoys guards, according to this scale, were actually not bad. The usual imperial envoys had no idea about the imperial envoys guards. Even some guards were limited in number. Like the current emperor, they gave Xu Guangqi a thousand imperial envoys guards at one time, which made people jealous. With three hundred imperial envoys guards by their side, Zhou Yanru felt that Xu Guangqi was good to him.
Chapter completed!
