Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

"Hey, hey, are you really leaving?"

Zuo Chong quickly stood up, leaned out, and reached out to grab Chu Ze: "Aren't we just discussing this? What's the rush?"

"We are not in a hurry, but the people of Hengyang are. Will you agree or not?" Chu Ze was trying to tease him, but he didn't really want to leave. At this time, he let him grab his arm and stood there looking down at him. , it seems that if Zuo Chong does not agree, he will immediately throw away his hands and leave.

Zuo Chong is also a human being.

Where can I not see what Chu Ze meant?

But he couldn't guarantee whether this matter would really go wrong once Chu Ze left.

Then his trip would have been in vain.

The most important thing is that the position of Huangshang cannot be lost!

Once you figure this out, nothing else matters.

Zuo Chong let go of his hand and pointed at Chu Ze as if annoyed and angry: "You kid."

Chu Ze raised his eyebrows slightly.

He waited for Zuo Chong's next words.

Zuo Chong nodded at him several times, but he was not disappointed.

"Okay, isn't it just that we will suffer a little loss? I will do it, but you have to guarantee that the position of Huangshang must be ours." Zuo Chong has good money, but he also knows when to spend it. money.

He is willing to use the least amount of money in exchange for the greatest benefits.

But there are occasional exceptions.

For example, now, if you can use money to exchange for things that money can't buy, it's worth spending extra money.

Moreover, his sons have gone to other countries to do their business. If he, the father, is immature, why would he lose his life if he refuses to go?

No matter what, he wanted the position of the Imperial Merchant.

Chu Ze's goal was achieved, and the corners of his mouth turned upward.

He turned his head, held Zuo Chong's finger and shook it up and down: "Deal."

Zuo Chong: "...It's done, it's done."

He would be thankful if he didn't really become a victim.

As soon as their affairs were completed, Chu Ze turned around and discussed with Li Xing the diversion of the river.

Li Xing is indeed very talented in this aspect.

Much better than Chu Ze.

With a few strokes, he sketched out the current condition of the Xiangjiang River.

Then point out a few dangerous places and make your own changes one by one.

After finishing, he picked up the paper and handed it to Chu Ze to see.

"According to your request, the water drawn from here can be directly injected into this lake." Li Xing's hand followed his words, drew a path on the paper, and then clicked on the lake he mentioned. , and then rowed to the side, "This place was a lake before, but it can be connected to the current lake."

"And here..."

Li Xing said one place, and his fingers would move to that place.

and speak your mind.

This flood in the Xiangjiang River destroyed not only people's houses and countless crops.

Some rivers were also rerouted.

Many new lakes were even created.

Now the entire Hengyang, and even a small half of Hunan, is now desolate, with hundreds of wastes waiting to be revitalized.

Chu Ze is brave and plans to make a big transformation.

The first step is to re-plan the waterway.

And use the polder method to transform low-lying land.

Utilize these low-lying lands to grow food crops.

What Li Xing made was just the initial plan.

Next, we have to find a few people who are familiar with local hydrology to implement it.

Chu Ze was not familiar with this, so he had to find someone familiar to help him.

The best candidate for this person is naturally the local prefect.

Originally, he wanted to go find Zhu Rui, but thinking that the man was ill, he didn't bother him.

When he came to the magistrate's office and explained his purpose of coming, the magistrate immediately said that there was no problem.

Aren't you just looking for a few people?

Isn't that simple?

Without saying anything, he immediately ordered someone to post a notice outside the Yamen.

After saying this, Chu Ze also mentioned in passing that he planned to use Zuo Chong to do business and exchange food for everyone. Magistrate Yu Min thought for a while and said: "This method is feasible, but the problems behind it are not trivial."

He and Zuo Chong had the same idea, that is, what should people do if they don't have anything?

As for the rest, Chu Ze has an imperial edict anyway.

Even if not, they are doing this for the sake of the people.

If the emperor wants to pursue it, then he should pursue it.

Yu Min is not afraid

Chu Ze said: "We have thought about it, Xianglian is a tribute, and the quantity of good-quality Xianglian is limited, so we can't sell it casually. We have to hold an auction. Whoever wants it depends on whether he has the ability to win it. Yes. Part of the money from the auction was used to buy food, and the other part was used to buy materials for weaving linen cloth."

With the materials, they can build a simple shed.

Then weave summer cloth and sell it.

Linen has the advantages of removing sweat from the body, being breathable and heat-dissipating, and naturally antibacterial. It is very suitable for clothing, bedding, mattresses, wall coverings, etc.

It can even become a fabric for arts and crafts.

Both modern and ancient people are equally fanatical about pursuing people's comfort and health.

"Then let's take advantage of this and make a big announcement. Tell the world that grass cloth is not only comfortable to use, but can also take care of the body to a certain extent. I believe many people are willing to buy it." Chu Ze took a sip of water, and then continued, "In addition, we also need to grow ramie on a large scale."

Linen is woven from ramie.

At first they could buy ramie from outsiders, but later on, buying from other places would definitely not be enough for them.

Then they have to grow it themselves.

Ramie is extremely easy to grow.

You can almost live with soil and water.

And it can be harvested two to three times a year.

The yield is also very gratifying.

"Once these two things are started, the people will have something to do. Then they can exchange for food and money."

With food and money, people's lives are guaranteed.

Chu Ze talked eloquently.

Yu Min listened carefully and remembered these contents one by one in his mind.

Chu Ze finished his thoughts and then said: "Master Yu, can you handle the rest?"

Yu Min raised his head.

There was a determined smile in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. Your Majesty has explained everything in detail. If we still can't do it well, we don't need to be the prefect. We can just hang up the title and go back."

Chu Ze nodded with satisfaction.

He likes people like this.

No procrastination.

He doesn't need to worry about the things assigned to him, and he can handle them well.

It's much better than Nong Yasi who only moves once he pokes it.

Thinking of this person, Chu Ze sighed.

After spending these days in Quanzhou, he now thinks of Nong Yesi and feels quite nostalgic.

I don’t know how the factory he asked him to run is doing now.

Chu Ze came out of the magistrate's office and was thinking about this matter.

He walked slowly.

Suddenly--

"Ah!" Chu Ze stumbled on his foot and almost fell over.

When he stabilized his body, he looked at the big pit at his feet and shook his head helplessly.

The floods passed through and the area was devastated.

Even the road surface was filled with potholes.

The holes in some places are so big that a child could fall in.

Well, after these things are arranged, we need to send more manpower to repair the roads in Hengyang City quickly.

Or... just replace it with cement pavement?

Just as he was thinking about it, Chu Ze looked up inadvertently and saw a familiar figure walking quickly out of the vermilion door in front. (End of chapter)
