Chapter 383: The artificial dead sea begins to start construction

Under the deliberate arrangement of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, the distance between the 10,000 soldiers from Qianzhong Road and the local people was gradually narrowing. Although it could not reach the level of actively fighting for the local people, it was no longer the case of doing construction work in front of the army.

Next, Zhang Xiaobao began to buy a large amount of pottery from Changning County. After all, the Qianshi Chamber of Commerce did not cooperate with the people sent by Zhang Xiaobao. One was that he always felt that Zhang Xiaobao was unreliable, and the other was that the person sent out asked that as long as the contract was signed, the pottery after the Qianshi Chamber of Commerce would not be allowed to be sold to the north of Hebei Road by itself.

If you want to sell, you need to contact the Zhang and Wang family and ask the Zhang and Wang family to sell it. You must also be responsible for transportation. If you are not responsible for transportation, you must give up some of the profits.

The people from the Qianshi Chamber of Commerce came from Silla. In the north of Hebei Road, there are Khitans and Sillas. How could they hand over the right to sell goods in their hometown?

The people sent by Zhang Xiaobao also found other people who made pottery to sign the contract. Just like what the Qianshi Chamber of Commerce mentioned, the people who were found later did not have that much thought. The northern part of Hebei Road was still too far away for them. They all happily signed the contract and delivered the first batch of goods to the riverside, waiting for the ship coming from Jilizhou to be transported away.

It didn't take long for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to receive a batch of pottery, and took the water route and packed it. Even so, one-fifth of the pottery was damaged when they arrived at the place.

Zhang Xiaobao did not send the first batch of pottery to the people of Jilizhou. It was not enough to send it and there were too many people. The first batch of pottery still could only be used for 50,000 pieces. If you want to send it, you can't send one piece to each person, at least one set.

Zhang Xiaobao used 50,000 pieces of pottery to give gifts to powerful people around and beyond the north. The family gave a few sets. He used the remaining pottery to buy the coastal land next to Jilizhou, and bought a beachside, so he did not allow local fishermen to go out to sea to fish.

*** is the trade ships from other places. Any cargo ship that wants to dock must be approved by Jili State.

I can get such a place because there are very few ships for trade. If anyone has a ship, he would not want to go to a poor place in the north of Hebei Road. Usually, small trades are done by land and people who are willing to take risks come over to trade with people here.

What Zhang Xiaobao has to do now is to wait. After the people who received the pottery show off to others, more people are willing to go to Jilizhou to buy, and are also waiting for the people sent to the north to pass on the specific situation in Mohe.

Although the distance to Mohe is not as good as the distance from Jilizhou to Jiannan Road, the road is very difficult to walk. You need to find a place to replenish food and water, and fight with wild beasts. Those who cross mountains and ridges will have the more they go north. When you reach Mohe, it will probably be winter. I wonder if the people sent out can withstand it.

Zhang Xiaobao, who seemed very leisurely for a while, not only exercised his own physical fitness, he devoted more energy to his younger brothers and sisters, teaching them, and let Wang Juan take care of all military affairs.

Wang Juan really made a bunch of large swimming pools at the beach and poured saturated sea water from the salt field into it, allowing the two camps who were in turn to learn to swim. In fact, many people can swim, but it was just not standardized.

One of Wang Juan’s purpose is to let people exercise their bodies through swimming. Different swimming postures can exercise muscles in different places and increase lung capacity. More importantly, they will go from here to North America in the future.

She discussed with Zhang Xiaobao and found that it was too difficult to go to North America from land. Russia is not only cold, but also difficult to walk. It is better to walk along the beach and bypass Silla and move forward. If the sea water is frozen, let Zhang Hu train more dogs and use dogs to pull the sledge.

This dog must be found in cold places. The hotter it is, the more unusable it is. Who knows how much effort it takes to make the dog go to snow.

The swimming training program was determined like this. Not only do you have to swim now, but you also have to swim in the future, and you won’t even miss winter. This will increase the resistance of 10,000 people coming from the south to the cold and prepare for a year later.

Changning, as a pottery supply site, is now working hard to start construction. The next batch of Jilizhou requires too much goods. If you don’t prepare early, you will have to compensate if you can’t deliver it at that time.

Li Yu has lived a very comfortable life recently. He has collected a lot of taxes in the yamen and all welfare plans have begun to be implemented.

The plan in front of Li Yu today was to ask him to find a place with smooth roads in Changning County to dig a pit, preferably a place with clay and a deep pit, and then prepare to lead a river to form an artificial lake in the big pit.

He didn't know why he wanted to do this. It was just what Zhang Xiaobao said, so he planned to find the little insects as they arranged and think about the deep meaning of digging a hole and building a lake together.

"Sir, I can't guess it. Could it be that it's a man-made lake and put a cruise ship on it?" Xiao Chong seemed very helpless every time he faced Zhang Xiaobao's plan. He no longer expected to surpass it. As long as he could learn more, he would be fine.

"Don't worry, dig it first." Li Yu thought that the little cuckoo, who was usually very smart, could guess something, but when he saw that the little cuckoo looked unsure, he was going to do it first.

Choose the right place on the map to make it easier for people to dig it out, give more wages, and have good food. Now the labor force in the county is difficult to find, and the people have something to do. Don’t expect to use a few cents of wages to let a person come and work for a day.

The people in the surrounding counties also moved towards Changning County, and the number of migrant population still could not meet Changning's employment needs.

Just as Li Yu was directing the digging of a pit, many small cargo ships came from the river that brought water. They transported the cargo from the big ships on the river to Changning in a row. The sacks of loading were not big, but they were very heavy. People who could carry about 200 kilograms of grain to carry a bag of goods to the limit.

"Mr. Li, the river on your side is too small. You have to find a way to expand it, otherwise it will delay the trouble." Xu Si came to the boat and greeted Li Yu as soon as he met.

Li Yu heard about the things sent by Jilizhou, so he ran to the river to greet him. He listened to Xu Si's words, nodded seriously and asked, "What?"

"Salt, the worst salt." Xu Si said, signaling a transporter to put down the bag, take out a knife, cut the bag directly, and sprinkle large black and yellow salt particles out of it.

When Li Yu saw it, his brows frowned. The salt was too bad. He knew at a glance that it had not been properly processed. He bent over and picked up a piece of it, put it in his mouth and chewed it hard. He vomited it out with a spit, and there was sand inside, which was bitter and astringent.

He spitted a few more mouthfuls, "Is this what Zhang Xiaobao sent to the county people?"
