Chapter 378: The same memorial is different

Jilizhou attracted 130,000 people, and Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were very satisfied with this, although this population is really not worth mentioning compared to Dalian's future.

It’s easy for someone to do things, and all the children rushed to the school. This is no longer a school, but a large school. Students who were urgently transferred from the capital to come to class.

The young and strong man took out part to build a dock and a boat dock, and the mountainous land was divided out. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan provided tools for logging and farming. As long as the wood cut down from the mountain was given to the two of them, it would be worth the money for tools and seeds.

People are not allowed to burn wasteland and waste wood themselves. If they find any limestone and diamond mines, the yamen will send people to take care of them. The people who occupy the land will choose another place and the Zhang and Wang families will send people to help build them.

The 130,000 people who came here did not have the mind to take care of whether the officials in Jilizhou would embezzle or not care whether the environment was polluted. They built charcoal kilns one by one to burn charcoal for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, otherwise the losses of the two would be too great.

On that day, Xue Zhanjun came over and he came up with a good idea to help Zhang Xiaobao reduce his financial losses.

As soon as he entered the door, before Zhang Xiaobao could ask someone to have a tea, Xue Shenjun couldn't wait to say to Zhang Xiaobao: "Sir, there is a way for the younger ones to make Jilizhou bigger?"

"Oh? But it takes up someone else's place?" Zhang Xiaobao thought that Xue Zongjun wanted him to force the state next to him by relying on force.

"No, no, it's not. If you don't occupy other people's land, you can also become a state of profit." Xue Shenjun showed an unfathomable look.

Zhang Xiaobao didn't say anything, and waited for Xue Senjun to continue talking.

Xue Shenjun coughed lightly and said, "Sir, the method that young people can do is to order the local people to move mountains and fill the sea. If one foot is filled, one foot will be added. Relay dig mountains and relay sea relay. When the mountains are flat, they can be cultivated and the shores can be cultivated. Wouldn't it be a killing of two birds with one stone?"

At first, Zhang Xiaobao really thought that Xue Shenjun could come up with a good idea, but the result was a land reclamation. If Jilizhou was an isolated island with many hills and a large population, Zhang Xiaobao might consider reclamation. However, Jilizhou has no value for reclamation in the present and future. As a trading port, filling so many seas is useless.

What's more, if you fill in too much, you will fill in the military port. It will be difficult to find a natural military port.

"Sir, how about it?" Seeing that Zhang Xiaobao didn't say anything, Xue Shenjun asked again.

"Well, the idea is good, but there will be a lot of trouble when doing it specifically, so I can leave it for the future." Zhang Xiaobao did not directly deny Xue Zongjun's idea, for fear of dispelling his enthusiasm, so he could think of giving an idea. Even if one doesn't work, maybe there will be more good ideas to use in the future.

Xue Shenjun also heard it, and was a little disappointed, so he picked up the tea bowl and drank the tea sip.

"Xue Jun, how hard you have done in the state? I wonder if you can move the new people?" Zhang Xiaobao asked after changing the subject.

"Do they dare? They provide them with food and clothing. Whoever does not need the yamen to take action, the people next to them will clean up. Now there are people from other places who come secretly to find the yamen to become naturalized. Even if they cannot get food, they are willing to do so. The young people are busy, and there is still a lot of land in the state, so it is idle to put it there, so it is better to take it out for them to farm.

It’s just... it’s just a shortage of water. If you want to cut down the trees and make them into terraces, you can’t grow rice. It’s a problem. There is only one big river in the state, and there are many mountains, so you can’t lead to other places.”

Xue Zongjun seemed very embarrassed.

Zhang Xiaobao also considered this issue. Although it was close to the sea, there was also a shortage of water. The sea water could not be used for watering. He pondered for a little bit and said, "Then plant beans. It doesn't matter if the yield is low. Rain water alone is not enough to plant rice, so it is still OK to plant beans."

"The young man thought so too, so he placed the people who came later? Their cultivation tools seemed to be insufficient." Xue Shenjun agreed with Zhang Xiaobao's idea and was preparing to get some tools from Zhang Xiaobao.

"Go, go to the yamen to get tools and send them to the people who later come to the people, telling them that the children in the family can also go to the school. There is no big deal in the state, and Xue joins the army to be more worried about the people's livelihood."

Zhang Xiaobao didn't want to focus on this, and he had almost done his inner courtyard at home.

"Yes, it should be, sir, and the younger ones will leave first." Xue Shenjun has a lot of things. He always wants to use his power. He is ready to participate in any major or minor matters. Seeing that there is nothing else, he gets up and says goodbye.

Seeing Xue Chanjun leave, Zhang Xiaobao began to remember things.

After telling stories to his younger brother and sister, Wang Juan came back after class, Zhang Xiaobao had not cooked yet and continued to think about it. For Zhang Xiaobao, according to the usual situation, there is no place that cannot be developed, and any place has its value.

"The reason why Dalian is developing rapidly is mainly because it exists as a window for foreign trade. With more and more trade, people from all industries have come to Dalian and want to find gold here. How can we turn this place into an important trading port now is a problem."

As soon as Wang Juan entered the room, she saw Zhang Xiaobao holding his head with his hands and listening to him muttering.

"Xiaobao, the trade port cannot appear just by wanting it. It needs to appear with the development of the overall environment. There is no such environmental foundation at this time, so it is better to think of other solutions. Xiaozhu said in class just now that it would be great if the seawater could be directed to a salt-deficient place.

For example, if we are here, we will sell sea salt more. Then we can hold a lot of sea salt in a boat. It is a huge deal to make a salt farm by the sea.

Wang Juan felt that Zhang Xiaobao was so horny that he advised him.

At this time, many coastal places learned to dry salt. Even if Luzhou tried hard to keep it secret, it could not be kept. A large amount of salt was transported to many salt-deficient places as commodities, allowing officials in coastal areas to take advantage. At this time, the transaction of salt was not controlled by the court.

Before Jilizhou appeared, Wang Juan wanted to use it, although the Rizhao here was not as good as Lingnan Road.

Zhang Xiaobao nodded, "Think about it, let me think about it again. Since it cannot become a trade port, we must find a way to become a transit station for goods. We can be a trading company and use our own fleet to transport it. It would be great if we could occupy all this."

"Then think about it slowly, I'll go and cook for Xiaobei and the others." Seeing that Zhang Xiaobao insisted, Wang Juan did not object, and turned around and wanted to go to the kitchen.

"Together, let's cook together and think about things. Today, I'm making kelp for Xiaobei and the others. Kelp breeding is actually a good way, but I don't know how kelp grows? Seeds? Branch them by themselves? Let the pomegranate study it. She is now very proficient in cultivation."

Zhang Xiaobao followed Wang Juan.

"Of course, pomegranates are now planted with ginseng in flower pots, but they just can't grow up. They are worried about this and transplanted dozens of plants into the field, but they all rotted. During the field investigation, she was determined to plant ginseng." Wang Juan praised the spirit of guava's research.

When Zhang Xiaobao was worried about the ratio of input and output, many people were frightened by him.

Li Qingying and Zhang Xiaobao from Daxing City wrote to the court to attack each other. Both of them left the official post. Zhang Xiaobao had no pigeons. The pigeons were very precious, and they had to go to the capital to transport them after they were used.

The difference is that when Zhang Xiaobao's memorial passed by the Ministry of Personnel, the officials immediately sent it to the Central Secretariat Order. Zhang Shuo of the Central Secretariat saw that Zhang Xiaobao came from, so he went to find Gao Lishi without saying a word, and then Gao Lishi was sent to Li Longji.

Li Qingying's memorial was brought to the hands of a minister from the Ministry of Personnel. The minister carefully made a reply and wrote a letter, asking Li Qingying to send witnesses to Beijing and wrote more details about the matter.

When Li Longji saw the letter, he realized that Zhang Xiaobao had completed the plan of recruiting 30,000 troops, and added 130,000 people to Jilizhou.

The matter of conscripts was raised above the court.

All the ministers were confused. If this was not said from the emperor's mouth, they would not believe that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were sent to a poor place where there was no one, and they immediately obtained a population of 130,000 through operation in the local area.

Look at me, I look at you, I really don’t know what to say. Can those with ability not even suppress the emperor?

The person with the most complicated mood was Zhang Shuo. At first, he wanted to burn the memorials sent by Zhang Xiaobao, so he thought it was nothing, but he understood that if he could burn the memorials that came from the official post, he could not burn the pigeons flying in the sky, it would not be his own control.

Seeing Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan conscripting 30,000 conscripts in Jili Prefecture, this was a very strong impact on his recruitment system. If it was really feasible, his recruitment system would be over.

At this time, when the emperor proposed it, he wanted to let the ministers discuss it, he had to start saying: "Your Majesty, I think this strategy may not be feasible for Zhang Xiaobao, the governor of Jilizhou, and Wang Juan, the military officer of the Record. First, the family members of 30,000 soldiers are all supported by him and cannot be learned elsewhere; second, 30,000 soldiers have three meals a day, and there is meat for meals. If all the troops in the Tang Dynasty go to learn, the supply of meat will be insufficient, and the money will be even more expensive."

Yuan Qianyao, who had always been unable to deal with Zhang Shuo much, also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think what Lord Zhang said is not bad, and the Jilizhou model is not advisable. I can only do it first with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Only when they find a better solution can they promote it with the Tang Dynasty."

Yuan Qianyao objected that he would soon let other parts of the Tang Dynasty learn from Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, but he didn't say anything to death, so that Zhang Xiaobao and the others would think of something better.

Li Longji was just asking. Although Zhang Xiaobao's letter mainly mentioned the issue of recruitment and population there, it was nominally said that the soldiers of Li Qingying's Daxing City pretended to be pirates.

Li Longji didn't think that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan deliberately fabricated a fact in order to get some people. It must be that Li Qingying's population was hit hard and sent out.

But this cannot be investigated yet, so I had to let the ministers discuss it again, but naturally there was no result.

Li Longji gave Zhang Xiaobao and Li Qingying an order, and ordered the two to work together to encircle and suppress the pirates and ensure peace on one side.
