Datang: Angry at Li Er, he still begged me to come out of the mountain

Chapter 188 The number of refugees has decreased

Ren Boqiang couldn't help being stunned when he heard Jiang Yunqing's words. It took a long time before he came back to his senses. He bowed his hands in excitement and saluted with trembling hands. He quickly stepped back and bowed ninety degrees to Jiang Yunqing. Said: "Thank you, sir, for your support. The next official will definitely live up to what you have entrusted."

"On this mission, you only need to remember one thing. The ship must be built, but it can't be done right now. Dengzhou Penglai is the location of the best shipyard in Datang. After you go there, you must train good workers. Gather those master craftsmen and let all skilled craftsmen be recorded."

Jiang Yunqing took a sip of tea and continued: "After training new shipbuilders, I will need a large number of elites who are proficient in shipbuilding in the future. I plan to arrange the new shipyard near the Wei River. When spring starts, we can prepare to build the factory. .”

Hearing Jiang Yunqing's words, Ren Boqiang became confused again. He took all the money, so why not build a ship?

I gave myself 40 guan, but it turned out to be just a master shipbuilder at the job fair?
"Also, along the coast, there is a kind of thing that livestock eat, called kelp, which is not allowed to be caught in the future. When the Dengzhou Navy really starts training, I will teach you a way to make sea salt, so that the Dengzhou Navy can also use it. can be completely self-sufficient.”

Then, Jiang Yunqing added some precautions about sharks and whales in the ocean. Military training is to train a powerful navy that can ride the wind and waves, and to be able to fight against the harsh climate and environment of the sea at any time.

However, these current warships could not catch Jiang Yunqing's eyes at all. Zheng He's treasure ship and Galen sailing ship, which were the pinnacles in ancient history, were the best choices in Jiang Yunqing's eyes.

But the first condition is to be able to install artillery on the ship. The manufacture of artillery is actually not difficult. The most troublesome thing is the rifling of the smoothbore gun.

But if the hydraulic machinery is produced after the beginning of spring, everything will be fine.

When I thought of bringing the most powerful naval fleet in the world to the ground, after I leveled the country of Japan, I came to the British Isles a few times at sunset, and there was also the legendary Queen, waiting for me to clean it up. .

After making arrangements for Ren Baiqiang, Duan Lun came.

"Yunqing, why did you fire Liu Daozhong? Behind him is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"I don't care who he is, I don't care about other things, but with me in the Ministry of Water, there can't be someone like him. Our water department doesn't need people who pretend to be numbers."

Jiang Yunqing brought a ceramic stove, boiled water, and made a pot of good tea.

"Uncle Duan, there is a big deficit in the accounts of the water department. I will not cover up anyone. The housekeeper gave me 60 yuan. I can't just spend my money casually because of who's backstage. I will use this money to build new warships."

"Oh!" Duan Lun sighed helplessly, "Prince, oh prince..."

"It's okay, it's just Liu Adou, nothing big will happen."

"..."

Duan Lun looked at Jiang Yunqing in disbelief, and almost wanted to cover Jiang Yunqing's mouth tightly, "In this case, don't talk nonsense in the future, no, stop talking, I didn't hear anything today."

After Jiang Yunqing laughed, he stopped talking to him about it. After talking to Duan Lun about teaching swordsmanship, he also started working in the Ministry of Industry.

After the beginning of spring comes Grain Rain, and then the Jingzhe.

Waking of Insects - Spring Thunder also.

It was unexpected, but she had already made psychological preparations. This year's heavy snow did not overwhelm the Tai Chi Hall. Jiang Yunqing was still a little disappointed.

Both Jiang Yi and Lame Uncle were called by Jiang Yunqing to Guanlong to collect Dawang leaves and Tamba wild rice.

Dawangye is a wild salt leaf, and Danba wild rice is a kind of tobacco leaf that no one wants or admires in Guanlong, but it is very easy to smoke.

Nowadays, the technology of paper mills can completely produce the cigarette paper needed for cigarettes, so this cigarette factory has to be speeded up.

After the Waking of Insects, Li Jing left Chang'an for Penglai, Dengzhou, and Ren Boqiang set off with Li Jing.

The temperature is slowly warming up, and it's time to prepare for spring plowing.

The ice of the Xiaoqing River is also slowly melting, and the water is murmuring.

God also came because of the sting, and seemed to be in a good mood, so he gave a spring rain with a big gift.

The old demon said that Li Chunfeng began to tell Li Er about the amount of precipitation this year, and he boldly assured Li Er that this year will definitely be a bumper harvest.

The plan for a year lies in spring, and spring plowing means first plowing and turning the soil.

But Li Er also has more than enough energy for Datang's current productivity.

The land area of ​​the Tang Dynasty was very vast, but less than one-third of the land was cleared for cultivation. This really made Li Er anxious.

Regarding this matter, it has always been a psychological shadow of Li Er. All these years, God has pitied him. If there were not so many natural and man-made disasters, Li Er would not be so poor now, and still owed a lot to the queen's inner court.

People have a lot of worries, so they want to go out to relax, and they can't spend the fifteenth day of the first lunar month with their son-in-law Jiang Yunqing. Li Er and Empress Changsun wonder whether it is time to visit their daughter and son-in-law.

Therefore, Li Junxian drove the car, and the destination was Jiangjiazhuang.

When the carriage was walking to Jiangjiazhuang and out of Chang'an City, Li Er couldn't help but open the curtain of the carriage and looked at the scene outside, confused.

"Jun Xian, could it be that the county magistrate of Chang'an cleared the road?"

Li Er frowned and said: "I have always known that there are many refugees every spring outside Chang'an City. There seem to be few this year. Could it be that the prosperous age is really coming? The people are well fed and clothed. Need to warm up?"

In previous years, refugees and porridge sheds could be seen everywhere on the outskirts of Chang'an City, as well as poverty-stricken areas, one by one were skinny refugees. It would cost a lot of money to resettle these refugees every year, but there was no way. This is true in every dynasty and every generation.

"Yunqing has done a lot of civil engineering work in Jiangjiazhuang and Xiaoqinghe, and many refugees have been recruited to work by them."

Li Junxian thought for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, you don't go out much. Since you came to the throne, the number of refugees coming to Chang'an every year has been decreasing year by year. This year, there are only two or three thousand at most."

"Then, where are those refugees resettled now? Although it's spring, the wind at night is still chilling to the bones. Yun Qing invited these victims to work, and they must have been resettled, right?"

"This, I don't know, what I asked Baiqi and the dark guard to focus on is the blacksmith shop and bookstore. Others... I don't know what to say now, other things seem to be gone at all. He cares.

Li Er also knew about Li Junxian's current situation.

When we arrived at Jiangjiazhuang, Li Er asked Li Junxian to stop the carriage, and he got out of the carriage for a walk.
