I'm a big dick

Chapter 225 Managing Dongjiang (seeking a monthly ticket)
Phi Island Port.

Looking at the approaching ships, Wang Yining, Tong Jiang's judge, smiled, put down the binoculars, and let out a sigh of relief.

From the depth of the waterline, he can already judge the load capacity of the ship.Without waiting for the ship to dock, he already knew that he was returning with a full load.

This winter, whether it is the Dongjiang army or the Liao people on the islands, they should not suffer from the cold.

Burning coal for heating was quite common in the Ming Dynasty, but for Dongjiang Town, there were still great difficulties.Especially for the people on the island, cutting down trees and collecting weeds is not a long-term solution.

And it is the blessing of Dongjiang Town's soldiers and civilians to have a long-sighted and thoughtful Long Live Lord.Because Zhu Youxiao knows that North Korea has coal and iron mines, and it is still close to Dongjiang Town.

Not to mention the mineral resources in the hinterland of North Korea, just in Uiju and Tieshan, there is no shortage of these two things, and they are easy to mine.

At that time, North Korea was not only submissive to Ming Dynasty, but also full of hostility towards the rising Hou Jin.

In history, if there is no support from North Korea for plotting idle fields, helping the army, giving food, and replenishing weapons.

With the little money and materials given by the Ming court, it is impossible for Dongjiang Town to expand its strength and persist for a long time, and it will take in hundreds of thousands of Liao people.

Zhu Youxiao is more aware that North Korea is an important part of trapping the Eastern captives to death.Neither can Jiannu loot too many supplies from North Korea, nor let Jiannu surrender to North Korea.

However, with the strength of North Korea, it will definitely not be able to resist Jiannu.Whether Dongjiang Town is strong or not is a very critical factor.

Therefore, as soon as Denglai governor Mr. Yuan's memorial arrived, Zhu Youxiao immediately ordered the Ministry of War to write a document. He never dispatched troops from Dengzhenjin Town, which was not on the front line, to help the Dongjiang Army establish the Chinese Association as quickly as possible.

Moreover, the soldiers in Dongjiang Town are temporary, and the harassment is also a short-term tactical play.

As long as financial resources allow, Zhu Youxiao will continue to expand the military strength of Dongjiang Town, completely shattering the hope of building slaves to conquer North Korea.

With such a plan, Zhu Youxiao had to consider the lives of the Liao people more, and they were a ready source of soldiers.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao sent officials from the Ministry of Industry, recruited some miners, and rushed to Yizhou and Tieshan to guide the Liao people to mine minerals.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also maintained good relations with North Korea.Although in the eyes of many officials, this is somewhat embarrassing.

I go!If you guys were not incompetent and made Daming so poor, would I be ashamed?

Zhu Youxiao thinks that this face and face can be changed flexibly.Sometimes you really want it, sometimes you want it but you can't, and sometimes you can't want it at all.

It is nothing to condescend to continue to save money and let North Korea continue to support Dongjiang Town.

Wang Yining didn't know that the Holy Majesty had such a deep understanding of shamelessness, he was only worried about the lives of the soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang.

When the boat docked, Wang Yining went up to meet him, only to find that Mr. Shen, Mao Wenlong's father-in-law, got off first.

"Yo, Lord Wang." Shen Shikui bowed his hands and saluted, with a rough and fierce look, but he smiled very kindly.

Wang Yining returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Shen is so happy, he must have gained a lot in North Korea, right?"

"So-so." Shen Shikui's expression betrayed him, even though his words were modest.

Once the sea ban was lifted, even Phi Island often had merchant ships berthing, either going to North Korea for trade, or North Korean businessmen going to Daming.

Shen Shikui's businessman nature was awakened, so he left his military status and returned to his old business.

Relying on his relationship with Mao Wenlong, he led some people to buy ginseng fur and mountain products in North Korea, and then sold them to passing sea merchants, or sold ginseng medicinal materials controlled by the imperial court to the government.

Over the past few months, Mr. Shen has indeed made a lot of money.Since it is a legal operation, Wang Yining doesn't care about his business.

But Mr. Shen was not satisfied, he was planning to get a sea-going ship as well, and directly transport the purchased goods to Qingdao for sale, without middlemen making the difference.

In addition, Mr. Shen also urged Mao Wenlong to conquer Kuandian and other places from time to time, where there were more ginseng and a lot of mountain products.

Watching Mr. Shen lead the people to pick and carry away the goods, Wang Yining shook his head, not liking this businessman who was riding a boat.

"I've met Master Wang." A North Korean official came over with all the courtesy and humility.

Wang Yining was not arrogant, he cupped his hands and returned the salute: "You are polite, you don't need to call Li Panyin like that, it's too polite."

Li Panyin nodded with a smile, with the same attitude, and said: "I heard that the soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang need coal to survive the winter, and the county guard sent me down to report, and is willing to transport coal to help."

Wang Yining cupped his hands and said, "Jin County Guard's help, I thank you in advance on behalf of Dongjiang soldiers and civilians."

Li Panyin pondered for a while, and said with some embarrassment: "I don't know how to buy the precious mirror produced by the Celestial Dynasty?"

Wang Yining blinked and understood the purpose of Li Panyin's trip.

Apparently, the Governor of Jin wanted to buy the mirror, probably because he saw that the Holy One had given it to King Gwanghae-jun of Joseon.But this precious mirror seems to be only available in the hands of sea merchants designated by Long Live.

However, Wang Yining didn't say that.He smiled and said to Li Panyin: "Isn't your country building a port in Nanpu, and will designate it as a treaty port? When it is completed and opened, there will be a gathering of merchants, and there will be no shortage of department stores."

Seeing the bitter expression on Li Panyin's face, Wang Yining pointed out a clear way for him and said, "If you are in a hurry, you can go to Qingdao or Shanghai with the merchant ship. There must be precious mirrors for sale there."

Li Panyin nodded again and again, cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Master Wang, please make arrangements to find a familiar and reliable merchant ship to ensure the safety of the goods."

Wang Yining agreed, thinking that apart from buying mirrors, the sheriff might also have the idea of ​​making a fortune in business.This Li Panyin can be regarded as a pathfinder, let's get familiar with the business route and operation first.

He boarded the ship and asked the escorts. Seeing the coal being loaded, Wang Yining was delighted and encouraged them to disembark and rest for a day, before transporting them to the islands tomorrow.

The imperial court's investment in Dongjiang is relatively generous, but the emperor also hopes that Dongjiang can develop production and does not ask to pay taxes, but try to be self-sufficient.

For this reason, the emperor not only assigned Wang Yining a few helpers who were good at business, but also gave Wang Yining a lot of suggestions and instructions.

For example, fishing in the sea firstly satisfies the army and civilians in the Dongjiang River, and after gradually expanding, it has to be sold abroad to create more economic benefits.

In addition, using North Korea's coal and iron resources, first building a workshop to manufacture production and living tools, and then expanding production capacity to make weapons and armor can also reduce the burden on the court.

In short, it is a principle that the Liao people should not be idle and have as much work as possible to create value.

Regarding the emperor's ideas, Wang Yining also worked hard to implement them, and some measures have already seen results.

.....................

The sea breeze blows on the face, and the coolness is already evident, but it doesn't make people feel cold.

Brushing a few strands of messy hair from her forehead, Yingzi looked at the large flock of ducks swimming or running happily looking for food on the beach, and smiled cheerfully again.

The low tide of the sea is a good time to graze ducks.Seaweeds, small fish, shrimps, snails, clams and other marine life are delicious meals for ducks.

In addition to the ducks, there is also a group of big geese, like mighty generals, walking proudly on the tidal flat with their heads held high.

After more than half a month, Yingzi finally got acquainted with these bullies.Thinking of the embarrassment of being chased and bitten by a big goose, Yingzi still felt a little embarrassed.

After the big geese and ducks were delivered, it was originally intended to be raised in each household, but it was a waste of manpower and inconvenient to have each household take out people to raise the ducks.

After discussion, the newly appointed Civil Affairs Officer Zhang Zhuzi decided that the ducks and geese should be fed together, which is the common property of the islanders, and the meat and eggs should be shared equally.

Yingzi and another girl became the head managers of duck raising, and they rotated every day, and they could share two liters of miscellaneous grains every month.

The living conditions of the people on the island have improved again, although food is still not abundant.However, the development of fishery has greatly made up for the gap.

Grilled fish, fragrant and crunchy, the bones can be chewed.

Yingzi stuck the long duck-driving pole in his hand on the beach, took out the grilled fish from his pocket, and ate it bite by bite.

Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on the sea to eat the sea.It has been more than half a year since she moved from the black land of Liaodong, and she has adapted to life on the island, even a little bit satisfied.

Far away from the chaos of war, without worrying about Jiannu's sudden knife, and still able to eat enough, Yingzi felt that there was nothing to be picky about.

At that time, the common people's requirements were not high at all. Being able to eat enough was happiness; if you were hungry, you were full, as long as you didn't starve to death, you could survive tenaciously.

A figure was coming from a distance, and one could tell it by its characteristic posture without looking at it.Yingzi wiped his mouth and greeted him with a smile.

Two big geese quacked and wanted to show their might, but Yingzi chased them away and coaxed them aside.

Zhang Zhuzi shook his head with a wry smile, and joked, "You bodyguards are so powerful, I have to go around them."

Yingzi giggled and said, "They recognize people. At the beginning, they chased me and pecked, and there were several bruises on their legs."

The face was exposed to the wind and the sun, and the girl's skin was no longer white and tender, but it revealed a healthy color and a breath of sunshine.

Zhang Zhuzi quickly looked away, looked at the large flock of ducks on the tidal flat, and said, "Ocean Island is short of manpower. It just cuts meat, smokes fish and boils oil. Would you like to go?"

Yingzi blinked his big eyes, took two steps deliberately, stood still in front of Zhang Zhuzi, and asked with a smile: "Brother Zhang, don't you say how long you will work, and how much rice will you give?"

Zhang Zhuzi smiled self-consciously. Although he looked at Yingzi, he avoided her eyes and said, "If you want to settle down on the island, the processing factory will take care of two meals and give you ten liters of rice every month."

After a pause, Zhang Zhuzi added: "I asked them to add some more, and give them another [-] catties of smoked fish every month."

Now the imperial court implements a rationing system for the people in Dongjiang, and neither taxes nor money are paid. In addition to rice distribution according to population, other work remuneration is also paid in rice.

It was not a businessman who built the whaling processing factory on Haiyang Island, but someone sent by the Ministry of Industry to build it.

You must know that before oil was exploited and utilized in large quantities, whale oil was the largest source of industrial lubricants, and even the prosperity of the entire industrial revolution was inseparable from whales.
