Chapter 1,661 Straighten it out

When the team arrived in Xinzhou, by chance, Guangnan East Road experienced a cold wave that had never been seen in decades. Heavy fog fell that night, and "the wind and rain condensed into ice."

The Yi people all believed that this was a spell cast by the son of a great witch. "The bandits trembled so hard that they could no longer stand. They were so terrified that they almost broke up."

Seeing that the morale of the army was about to weaken, Cen Tan proposed a public fight with Colander.

The colander, feather fan, and towel, regardless of Yang Cong's first obstruction, rushed out from the crowd. Before Cen Tan took out the medicine arrow, he took out the wheel gun and killed Cen Tan with one shot.

The Yi people in Xinzhou were quite isolated. They had never seen a wheel-gun, so they couldn't help but be shocked. As expected, the little wizard had great magic power. He could not only call the wind and rain, but also use thunder!

When the colander reached the rebels and scolded the barbarians in the barbarian language, the barbarians were all happy.

Xiaosu, the great witch, scolded them for being superstitious, blindly believing, and being bewitched by demons without knowing it, and asked them to go back to farming.

He also said that he would be visiting their mountains next, and asked them to arrest all the members of the five major families in exchange for rewards, so that they would not go there by themselves and the cave village would not be able to entertain them.

Now all the Yi people knew that a great witch who understood the Yi language had come to Guangzhou to serve as an official. They were not afraid that no one would make decisions in the future, so they tied up the powerful men of the five major families and exchanged pigs, babies, chickens, and ducks with the great witch.

Before leaving, he enthusiastically held the colander and told him, "We have agreed that Dawu must come to our tea pit to play!"

A rebellion was like child's play, and it subsided after a month. Afterwards, Jiang Zhiqi reported to the court and asked for credit from the God of the South China Sea, Colander and Yang Cong.

Because this battle was a great victory in suppressing the rebellion, and the King of Nanhai displayed his might and used ice, Jiang Zhiqi's memorial asked the court to reward the God of Nanhai.

Deng Runfu, the Minister of Rites, firmly opposed it and believed that Jiang Zhiqi's suggestion was too absurd.

Because when we were in the former sea, the late emperor had already added the six characters "Hong Sheng Guang Li Zhao Shun" to the name of the Nanhai God. Now if we add the emblem name to it, the Nanhai God should rebel in heaven.

It really made sense, so he gushed, "The imperial edict granted min money to build a new temple to show the gift of God."

Jiang Zhiqi had just made a fortune of 500,000 yuan. Because the rebellion was put down "too quickly", he even spent a few of it on the soldiers who put down the rebellion and bought pigs, babies, chickens and ducks for the barbarians.

The imperial court simply allocated the money to Guangzhou and asked Jiang Zhiqi to overhaul the East and West temples.

Therefore, the word "Imperial Construction" was added to the plaques of the East and West temples.

The two temples are beautifully built. The God of Nanhai is sitting in the center of the hall. On the left is Prince Long, who is worshiping him. On the right is Master Long Shaobao, who has been worshiped by Nanhai people for more than ten years. But this time, Master Long Shaobao is worshiped.

Beside him, there was a boy holding a sword.

With the official demonstration and promotion, the officials and people in Lingnan began to believe in the God of the South China Sea. The worship and sacrifice of the God of the South China Sea became increasingly prosperous, and they were "extremely worshipful".

With the money, Colander was finally able to do something big. He built a large kiln next to Tufa Cement Factory to expand production capacity.

With cement, you only need to wet the beach with water, dig out a sand pit, bury a wooden mold and smooth it out, and then remove the mold to get a casting pit.

Pour cement mortar into the pit and smooth it, insert bamboo sticks for reinforcement into the mud, cover it with straw, and after two days, dig out the cement casting and turn it over, and you will have a U-shaped groove with a square outside and a round inside.

It's rough and ugly, but it's easy to make and can be used.

Guangzhou is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. This U-shaped earth-cement tank is not very strong, but it is enough to be buried until it is almost flush with the soil.

Some large pits were dug along the way, and the bottom walls were covered with cement. Then the ditch slabs were covered, and the large pits were covered with well plates. The entire Guangzhou water supply project became a closed project.

The reason for this is because Guangzhou has high temperatures and abundant sunshine. If you dig a pond, bacteria and algae will quickly grow in it. By digging it underground, you can ensure the cleanness of the water source.

The entire project lasted from the Mid-Autumn Festival to the end of the year. Before the arrival of the New Year, the whole city of Guangzhou finally had clean and sweet drinking water.

Even without running out of money, Jiang Zhiqi finally led the spring water to the East Temple and built a pond.

Because the original school palace was adjacent to the nun temple, which was offensive to the morals, Jiang Zhiqi moved the school to the foot of Fanshan Mountain in the southeast of the city, and added the Imperial Book Pavilion, Pavilion, Panchi, and Guande Pavilion.

Because Confucius' "The Analects of Confucius·Shu Er" said that "Zi followed the four teachings: Wen, Xing, Zhong, and Xin", the four teachings of Wen, Xing, Zhong, and Xin were arranged next to it for collecting books.

A Confucian temple, a primary school, and a Buddhist school were built beside the pond.

In order to avoid the recurrence of the problem of language barrier between Tibetan and Chinese, Laoshao required that the state school not only teaches Han students, but also the surrounding Yi people, Liao people, Li people, Li people, and Tibetan people, regardless of education, can go to the state school.

.

If there are students in the family between the ages of six and twelve, one person can be exempted from the Ding tax. The government will also give such families 500 yuan a month in "study support money."

As soon as the news came out, people in Guangzhou rushed to tell each other that the imperial court was going to help everyone raise their children!

Colander and Jiang Zhiqi couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this. What did the government mean by this?!

But when I think about it, it is true that even if a child between the ages of six and twelve works at home, he or she may not be able to earn 500 yuan a month for the family, and the cost is a huge amount less.

So in several schools, you can see countless children of all colors, holding books in their hands, shaking their heads and reciting in various accents.

"The learning of the princes is called Panshui. The poet praised it, and the Marquis of Lu stopped being violent -

If you offer food, you can offer prisoners. If you pick celery, you will be beautiful; if you drink wine, you will maintain your order——

The Huaiyi people came to serve and searched for arrows with their bows. What is their true meaning? The Yuan turtle and elephant tooth——

Lu Bang is just a humble country with no traces of history. The rise of Wei Pan is as heroic as that..."

Finally, Jiang Zhiqi also painted portraits of upright officials who had served in Nanhai and were praised by the people, such as Wu Yinzhi, Song Jin, Li Mian, Lu Huan and others, and built the "Ten Xian Hall" to worship them. Firstly, to commemorate these officials

Honest officials serving the people are, secondly, used to educate local officials and promote integrity for the people.

Everything got off to a good start. At the end of the sixth year of Yuanfeng's reign, Guangzhou's inner harbor was renovated and the investment environment was greatly improved. The Guangzhou Shipping Department once again welcomed new ships.

The colander took Sinadhara, Puyane, and Nurma to see off Pumako at the dock.

Pumako's hobby is traveling, and his ideal is to visit all places in the world, which makes Colander envious.

Colander saluted Puma: "This disturbance has delayed Brother Xian's pleasure. Where will Brother Xian go next?"

Pu Ma Ke returned the favor: "Brother Yu wants to visit Japan. If possible, he will also go to Liao to see the female straights."

Colander said with envy: "You are so beautiful. It's a pity that I can't go with you. It's my brother who has the big idea. He stole a ship and went to sea at the age of fourteen..."

Puma Ke quickly advised: "My dear brother is now an official of the imperial court. You must not think like this..."

Colander twitched the corner of his mouth: "That's natural, but brother Xian might as well record what he sees and hears along the way and mail it to me. You can't go with brother Xian. It's good to have some sex."

Pu Ma laughed and said: "Brother Fool has been doing this for a long time. Today I will hand over the manuscript to Brother Xian. You can take your time and read it. The auspicious time has come, and Brother Xian will give it away without bothering you."

After saying that, he boarded the boat and left in a hurry.

…

Puma was the lead used by Colander to trigger the major case of the Shipping Department. The reason why it came so coincidental was that this guy was originally summoned by Colander by writing a letter.

At that time, Colander learned language from two elders from the Wisdom Palace, and the two elders kept instilling teachings into Colander. Su You felt that this was not going to work, so he found Colander a "pen pal" who was far away in the South China Sea, Puma Ke.

Puma is the son of Alice and the grandson of Li Shunju.

Li Shunju was the ancestor of the internal officials. With the status of Li Xian, Wang Zhongzheng, Song Yongchen and others among the internal officials, everyone had to call Li Shunju "grandpa" when they saw him.

Many of the chief officials in the Municipal Shipping Department were middle-ranking officials, so Puma Ke was framed by colluding with the general officials of the Guangzhou City Shipping Department. This would be considered a hornet's nest.

After this incident, Nurma realized the importance of learning Mandarin as a foreign language, and the shipping company returned the property left by his father, so he stayed with Colander and became a student.

The colander's attitude of treating everyone equally was also recognized by Xinadhara, the elder of Guangta Temple.

This old man is the real leader of the Tibetan people in Guangzhou. He has lived in Guangzhou for decades and has a wealthy family. When Master Cheng Meng was building the west city, he wanted to help fund the construction, but Master Cheng Meng refused.

Therefore, the Guangta Temple is actually not a temple, but the residence of Xinadhara and a place where he worships and discusses matters for the Tibetan people.

The old man was the governor of Guangzhou back then, and was once appointed as a companion. Because of his ability to attract investment, he went to Bianjing and was received by Renzong.

After receiving Sinadhara's approval, Colander appointed Puyane as his deputy on the grounds that the Shipping Department was recently short of manpower.

Guangzhou is uniquely endowed with a tropical climate, and a large number of magical crops from Dongshengzhou and Nanhai can be grown.

Local lychees and longans have always been very famous.

In addition, Guangzhou also enjoys freedom of commerce and trade, and there are no restrictions here in the mainland.

Because the place is hot and humid, there is a local custom of drinking alcohol to avoid miasma. Therefore, this place was once a major export base for wine in the Song Dynasty.

All kinds of treasures and curiosities, except for the bulk adopted by the imperial court, were brought by sailors and merchants on board the ship, and could be sold freely in Fanfang.

Colander feels that he has found a value depression. It is unreasonable that such a place can still lose 200,000 yuan a year!

Not to mention anything else, even the coral trees in the Wanli Stone Pond in the south are countless treasures.

He has been wandering around in the past few months and has discovered coal mines under Baiyun Mountain, porcelain clay from Panyu, potassium stone from Fogang, as well as rich mirabilite, salt, feldspar, bauxite, and small amounts of silver, iron, and tungsten.

, manganese, copper.

Although metal production can only be done on a small scale, it is better to bring it directly from the South China Sea, but the cement, glass, and ceramic raw materials here are almost inexhaustible, and it can be developed into a treasure land that can attract businessmen.

As long as we can use porcelain, glass, colored glaze, and mirrors to attract merchants, we can then develop ship manufacturing, repair, supply, commerce, food, accommodation, and reception...

My father often said that to capture a person's heart, you must first capture his stomach...
