"Caizhoutian is willing?"

"willing!"

"The harvest of farmland is divided into seven, and the government will take three, can you please?"

"willing!"

"Will you go to Caizhou with your money today?"

"willing!"

Then Gao Yue pointed his hand westward - the loosened soldiers could only support each other with his family, staggering in a long line, facing the bloody setting sun, and embarked on the long road to Caizhou.

Under the White Banner, the swords were attacking, and more than 30 rioters were beheaded on the spot. Bai Lian was instantly stained with red blood...

The military chaos caused by the withdrawal of the troops in Yangzhou was quickly suppressed by Gao Yue using cruel means.

Soon the shipping of Guanhe returned to normal. At this moment, in Jiuzhou, Huainan, no one dared to challenge Gao Yue's authority.

Gao Yue will record his hatred for the salt merchant for a while, and at the right moment, he is determined to eradicate this group of maggots that are ignorant of the sky and the earth.

The changes in Zhenhai Junjie's Lecture Coach opposite Yangtze River also made him instantly alert.

"It was said well, Zhenhai Army was divided into three observation envoys: Xuanshe, Xixi and East Zhejiang. Why did he let Zong Zheng Shaoqing be the governor?" In the sunset, Gao Yue was wearing a casual shirt and rolled up his sleeves after finishing Cuju, while washing and saying to Gu Xiuyan.

"This must be because the court is suspicious of Yisong you." Gu Xiu said bluntly, no matter how he is afraid of trouble.

"Do it again, do it again!" Gao Yue said twice in a row, obviously scolding the emperor, and then he said, "I don't know what role Li Qi is, test it."

After he finished exercising, he returned to the official house in the backyard of the military mansion and learned that the Fujian Observation Commander Zheng Feng had replied to him.

Gao Yue disassembled and read it in front of his wife. Anyway, he had to pinch his nose and listen to Zheng Zhi scolding him at the beginning.

Zheng Zhi's scolding of himself mainly focused on three places:

When I was pacified, I killed too much;

After the war, Shin Guang-Tai's taxes were inevitable;

Although the implementation of Baojia can indeed eliminate bandits, the powerful Jiatou Guard will soon become a new powerful man, "arbitrary countryside song" and hinder the imperial government.

Gao Yue recognized Zheng Zhi's dissatisfaction with him, and some did not.

However, Zheng Zhi later admitted that Gao Yue used real money to collect taxes in parallel, and used paper currency to fly money. A series of measures to form troops to redeem were good. He was also preparing to learn from it in Fujian. Zheng Zhi told Gao Yue that the northwest of Fujian is mostly mountains, and the southeast is all seaside. Although the fields are fertile and there is no water and drought, the area of ​​farming is too small. Han and Yi farmers are mixed with each other, and the disputes over the land are particularly frequent and fierce. He is troubled. In addition, Fujian's transportation is inconvenient and paying two taxes is very difficult. Whether it is grain or copper coins, it is very difficult to use cloth. Even the imperial court despised the Fujianese weaving technology too rough, so he decided to open more silver pits and forge "platinum" (silver is platinum) to pay taxes, so that he could leave more rice and grain for the people and have a wider household registration.

In addition, Zheng Zhi also replied to Gao Yue’s previous inquiry in the letter:

It is difficult to pacify the barbarian chaos in Lingnan and go through the Lishui or Lingqu River through the Hunan River. The supply line is too long and the cost is extremely huge. The soldiers will not bear the hardships and malaria. Therefore, your opinion is correct. It is best to take the sea route to Quanzhou, Fujian to transfer supplies, and then go to Guangzhou Prefecture.

For this reason, I have started to stockpile grain in Fujian and the stakes, and let military soldiers dig silver pits under construction, Ting and other places, and let Dashi and Hu merchants survey and map sea charts in Persia. You should also seize the time to reserve military funds and build sea ships in Huainan.

"Why am I building the sea boat?" Gao Yue was very dissatisfied when he read this.

How expensive is it to build a sea ship, a large ship that carries thousands or even tens of thousands of hu of hu!

As a result, in the following text, Zheng Zhi immediately said, of course, you built a sea ship, you were the rich Jiuzhou in Jianghuai, with good soldiers and sufficient food, and the court was determined to let you go out to help Du Lingnan and the plain barbarians. Why are you embarrassed to let me, a small but poor Fujian Observer, invest in the construction of ships?

"snort."

So Gao Yue then sent the letter to reply, and Yun Shao helped grind the ink.

In early winter, the delivery shop in Min County, Fuzhou delivered Gao Yue's letter to Zheng Zhi.

At this time, it should have snowed in the Central Plains and the North, right?

However, the weather in Fujian is still warm. Zheng Zhi often walks along the Lisuo County with his wife Bisheng, with his two children, and his servant Liu Jing, along the water of the Lisuo County, climbs up and looks far away from the coast. The sun is full of blue waves and the weather is full of weather. In fact, Zheng Zhi feels that his life is the most peaceful and peaceful during this period.

When he was in the matter, he would wear light clothes and ride a horse to walk and inspect the post roads of Fujian provinces. Because the water and land transportation between the states was not very convenient, Zheng Zhi simply asked the governors of each state to close the door to govern the people, in order to be purified and ineffective.

That is, recently, a Hu people and sea merchants were rescued because of a ship in danger, which was considered a major event in the country. Zheng Zi was very courteous to it. After a trip, the Hu people came back and told Zheng Zi that there were a large number of mines, Jian, Ting, Fu, and Zhangzhou, which were rich in copper, silver, iron and lead pits. If people were sent to dig it, they would deepen one meter a year, and they could be harvested for a hundred years, and the profits would be 200,000 to 300,000 guan each year.

This caused a stir in Zheng Xi's heart.

In addition, the Hu people also offered two things to Zheng Zi, one was “iron tube turbid oil” and the other was “hot mining method”, which was said to have come from the distant West.

"The West you are talking about is further west of the Western Regions?"

The Hu man laughed and said, "It's even further away than the Western Regions, no less than ten thousand miles, and it's a whole year if you're on a sea boat."

Iron cylinder tincture oil can seal a kind of tincture oil produced by Dashi in the cylinder, and use an iron hoop to avoid burning. It can be arranged on the bow of the ship during combat, which can spit out a fire ten feet away. When encountering water, the flame will be strong. Burning enemy boats is the most effective;

The hot mining method uses a special method to roast Shijia veins with fire and then dig them again, so it will be crisp and easy to dig, which is the best way to mine copper and silver.

After the Hu people finished speaking, they presented the drawings for Zheng Zhi and then sailed on the boat.

Zheng Zhi treasured the drawings.

When Gao Yue wrote a letter, he roughly told Zheng Xi a few points. First, he hoped that Zheng Xi would dig more silver in Fujian and use it for tax payment and trade. In addition, he heard that there was a Guanzhuang in Fujian, which would raise a large number of buffaloes - you asked the merchants to drive the buffaloes, consign silver ingots, and go to eastern Zhejiang to exchange rice seeds, and the loom and printing table. Then he asked the merchants from eastern Zhejiang to transport the cows and silver water to Yangzhou, and I would buy them with money. It just so happened that I was in short supply of cows and silver.

Also, I want to discuss with you that Huainan-Xuanrun-Fujian has set up a money quota, so it is no problem to only use paper currency for long-term trading.

So Zheng Wei gathered a caravan to drive Niu and Baiyin, crossed the mountain road, and headed to Kuazhou in eastern Zhejiang, preparing to trade as Gao Yue said.

However, a month later, the bad news came. Zheng Zhi's caravan was suddenly stopped by the Zhenhai Army's Datang in the territory of Kuozhou. He then insisted that they were smugglers who smuggled trade from a small road, and then confiscated all the cattle and silver.

Zheng Zi was shocked and angry, so he wrote a letter to Li Qi, the governor of Zhenhai Army, to negotiate the matter and take back the things.

But Li Qi believed that Zheng was just an observer in Fujian and ignored him at all.

On the other side, Li Qi set up a tax field in Jingkou, Jinling and Wuhu, and levyed heavily on merchants who went to Yangzhou for trade. The money was 100 yuan per monday, and the entire Zhenhai caravan was in a hurry.
