Chapter 269 Reconstruction 4
As the "famous capital of Huaizuo", Yangzhou Jiangdu Port has once again welcomed a somewhat broken sea ship.
With the pedals that were released from the boat, the imperial court, who had finally escaped from the sky, recruited Wang Xiao, and he did not really settle down until he stepped onto the land again; because this was already the Yangzhou territory that was beyond the reach of those thieves.
No matter who he survived the pursuit and search for several days and nights, he would inevitably have similar ideas to him. The rescue he received during the chaos in the city was just the beginning of this nightmare that lasted for several days; then his hiding place was under the search and attack of the thieves who kept coming to the door, like a frightened bird, changing in constant escape.
In the end, he was desperate and could only panic and follow the last small group of people in the city to wait for the ship to go out to sea; but his misfortune was still not over, and he encountered the interception and investigation of the thieves' sea patrol clutches; if it weren't for the thieves' sea power that was too weak, he had only time to intercept several other sea ships, and the smallest sea ship he was in became a fish that escaped the net.
Therefore, after experiencing such hardships and setbacks, he couldn't help but resurrect some old habits in his bones; he could not wait to find some good-looking girls to have fun in order to relieve the fright and sleepiness he was suffering from. And he happened to have a few old acquaintances in the local area.
But he came to a cabinet specially run for the powerful and powerful in the capital, and was preparing to use the tokens to extract some wealth for use. However, while drinking tea in the hall, he was waiting for not the silver cakes and pine gold on the plate, but several soldiers brought by a blue-clad official.
"At Xiajiangdu Inspector Cui Zhiyuan, I heard that Wang Xiaolangjun was coming,"
The other party said politely.
"Please follow a group to the house to fulfill the friendship of the landlord..."
Then, Gao Yue, who was already the Zuo Moye Duya in the Huainan camp, and Liang Zaimu, who was the promoter of the Salt and Iron Transportation Office, also received corresponding news and internal information. The process was also very simple, and he attracted several understanding female players to persuade him to drink. After getting drunk, he would naturally say everything.
However, the news they obtained made them look at each other in shock, and said angrily with a heavy face.
"Is the sky changing again in Guangzhou? The thieves fought and suffered many casualties..."
"Is that monk Xu winning in the end... It's really unexpected."
"It's a pity that the successor of Nie's clan is the best way to hide and disguise, which is really an exaggeration."
"I'm sorry, I'm still hiring a lot of money, is this the result in the end?"
"Why can't he eliminate all evil things? He even let him escape from death and finally get this big advantage..."
In the end, Gao Yue is still
"This is not possible. I have to go to Ahon to punish him. I will definitely not be able to make this flirt safely..."
However, in the sightseeing of Jiangdulin, which was still surrounded by cigarettes, Gao Yue couldn't help but be disappointed again; he saw that the Huainan Jiedushi and the commander of the south camp who had practiced more and more Taoist fairy style, Gao Pian, the Jianghuai Transport Author, said slowly without moving:
"This Wang Shiqilang, please accompany him in Huaiyang for more than a few days."
"I will report to the court's other relationships and links. I will ask the Holy One to break it."
After Gao Yue, who was disappointed, retreated angrily, a voice sighed.
"Why did you say this?"
The person who spoke was his new favorite, Lu Yongzhi, who was close to him. He touched the rare ancient jade in his cuffs and continued to give advice.
"Huaizhen has always been rich in land, strong in military affairs, rich in resources, and has envoys who are the mainstay of the southeast. Can they just let the thieves in Guangzhou?"
"Lu Sheng's words are wrong,"
Gao Pian weighed his beard and shook his head.
"Huainan is known to have sufficient elite troops and food, but it is not a private official weapon of a certain country. No matter how many armored soldiers are, can it still drive for a certain person? "
"Besides, the court missed the opportunity to break the thief without accepting advice, so how could it be that the dry bones of self-cultivation in my view can be used to bridge the remedy?"
Of course, in fact, he had also read the demon books and songs that slandered the court from Canton; but he felt deeply troubled and could not sleep for several nights.
Although he was old, he still vaguely remembered that Wang Bo's song "The Song of Death in the Unsighted Liaodong" by Wang Bo in the late previous dynasty, sings the story of 56 dust and smoke rising from the world, and the eighteen families against the king and the kings who fought against the world and lost their tripods. However, the court has repeatedly been fond of compassionate people, so in this world is not the first step to seize the authority in their own hands.
You should know that the various interests and interests of the imperial court in the huge Huai Town are intertwined, and their foundation and influence are not as deep as outsiders imagine. In addition to the left and right Moyedu who moved with him, the thief tribes who surrendered were still useful.
Even if he was determined to kill the thief, he would not be as banned and devoted as his life as he was in the Zhenhai Army. Therefore, when the yellow thief was rampant across the Yangtze River and Han dynasties and stormed the southeast, he would rather restrain and intercept local financial resources and recruit new soldiers than rely on local governments' own systems. However, this consideration is really impossible to express his words to others.

In the pavilion above Fanshan Mountain in Guangzhou, Zhou Huaian was eating the local winter solstice-filled Gu Dongguo with the women at home, also known as "Baishou Furnace", which is a southern feature similar to the Cantonese hotpot in later generations;
Use a special red peat stove, ignite the charcoal and put it on the decomposition (i.e., a casserole), and use the white soup made with fish bones and shrimp heads as the base, and then brush it into sashimi, shark balls, oysters, chicken kidneys, squid fillets, raw shrimp slices, pork loin slices, duck noodles, beef slices, pork liver slices, chrysanthemum, tofu, yellow buds and white.
Its characteristic is that it is fresh and flavourless without any seasonings. The more you eat, the more complicated it feels; it makes people sweat and can't stop when they taste it. This time, the title goes out to climb Fanshan and eat the fire, which is also a celebration for a few more things that happened during this period.
First of all, the first major event of the newly formed South China Sea Shipping Guild was to concentrate all members' investment and donations, and to build a lighthouse in the Lingnan coastal areas from Chaozhou to Annan Jiaozhou, to choose high-profile places to build a lighthouse, as the guidance and guidance of night sailing.
The material of the lighthouse itself is based on stone masonry, with bricks as the tower body and lamp chamber to effectively fight against seasonal typhoons in the South China Sea; in daily life, grease or charcoal fire is burned as the light source, and the polished copper-glazed iron tire concave surface is used as reflection and focus.
It is expected that more than 30 large and small lighthouses will be built, which will take tens of thousands of workers and take about four or five months. The average cost of each lighthouse will be from 800 (700,000 yuan) to 1,000 yuan (900,000 yuan);
In the more than a dozen lighthouses near Guangzhou and Jiaozhou, due to the lower cost of labor and materials, it can be reduced to about 500,000 yuan (about 400,000 to 500,000 yuan). Although it seems that the labor force is very busy and it costs a lot, it needs to be shared and completed for several periods.
However, for many ports in the two places where the sea trade route business accounts for the main input, the time savings and operating costs that can increase the existing large-scale shipping flow, and the reductions in time savings and operating costs are obvious and considerable cost-effective bonuses.
Therefore, even if a navigation fee is added to these routes in the future, it is easy to recover the construction and initial operation costs to the whole book in a few years.
Secondly, in the warehouse where the early merchants traded, thousands of barrels of wine were found that were broken due to poor storage. When they were about to be discarded, they found that a thick layer of stone-like hard objects condensed on the bottom of the almost evaporated bottom; then Zhou Huaian, who happened to be present, was urgently ordered to be recycled.
And this stone lump is tartar, which belongs to the calcified crystals deposited by wine or other fruit wine at low temperatures. In this era, it is also a medicinal formula for treating stomach problems; and tartaric acid can be obtained by just a little processing, which is also an important component of anesthetics and emetic agents in later generations;
However, if diantrum trisulfide is added to tartaric acid, a special medicine for schistosomiasis, potassium tartarate will be obtained; the effect of this thing is that it is too great, it can be compared with the countless special products and technology trees such as three-season rice. Whether it is early or late, there is a very high probability of cure.
China is the world's most important antimony mineral production area, with reserves ranked first in the world. The reserves of stun ore on the earth are more than 4 million tons, and China accounts for 84% of the world's production. Especially the antimony ore reserves in Xinhua tin mine in Hunan are of high quality. They are also distributed in other places such as Guangdong, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Sichuan.
Antimony trisulfide is a natural antimony ore crystal, a white powder that can be obtained after direct calcination; the earliest cosmetic eye shadow powder made of antimony trisulfide was found in the pre-King Kingdom of Egypt 3200 years ago. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was called "Lian Tin" because it was a companion for tin ore smelting; along with mercury, lead, tin and copper, it was also one of the ingredients for the elixirs of ancient alchemy.
According to the "Han Shu? Food and Memorial Records": "Wang Mang's residence was taken by the Han system, and all the coins were cast with copper, and the use of tin was confused." "Records of the Grand Historian" recorded: "Lian Tin was found in Changsha". The Qin Dynasty arrows unearthed from the Qin tombs contained antimony components after spectral analysis. Therefore, it was not too easy to obtain antimony trisulfide in this era, and maybe it would be available in that medicine shop.
With this special medicine for schistosomiasis, the biggest problem that we have to face in the south was naturally solved by developing the Yunmeng Daze, Jiulongjiang Plain, Honghe Plain and other water network swamp areas in the south. Never underestimate this problem, but the culprit that has plagued ancient China for thousands of years and caused countless people to suffer from blood and tears;
In ancient times, when faced with waters, schistosomiasis transmitted by snails in swamps was almost helpless and difficult to prevent; but in the past dynasties, they could only slowly accumulate and open up land and environment that were suitable for living;
Therefore, it was not until the Huguang area where the ancient Yunmeng Daze was located in the Ming and Qing Dynasties that enough results were accumulated to build fields and drain swamps and lakes, and became a large granary where the so-called "Hunan is ripe and the world is full"; this was not an accidental result.
It was not until after entering the New China that it gradually moved away from people's vision after a concerted approach to environmental transformation, biological control, drug killing and other multi-pronged treatments. However, until modern society in the 21st century, the shadow of schistosomiasis occasionally rekindled in small areas such as Dongting Lake.
But no matter what, there is a secret weapon in hand; once you enter the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River where Hunan, Jiangxi and Jingnan are located in the future, it will become one of the important confidence and evidence to win the hearts of the people and create expectations. After all, this parasitic disease is treated equally regardless of your nobleness.
Furthermore, there is another breakthrough in the mining of cash crops and industries.
In fact, as the most important pearl production areas in the South China Sea, such as Hepu, Yashan and Lingshui, are actually under the rule of the rebel army; so it is easy to open up experimental pearl shell breeding farms by building embankments and have achieved success;
The next step is to experiment and promote the technical experiment of pearl planting, that is, to bury the specially polished and processed small calcium carbonate balls such as oyster shells into the mother body of the pearl shells and give birth to the pearl prototype in a short period of time.
Although pearls are luxury goods and high-end medicinal materials, they still have great potential in the foreign markets associated with Guangzhou.
