The Hanjiacang Ferry in Luoyang was once one of the busiest ferries in the Tang Dynasty, second only to Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. Every day, many water ships unloaded goods here, transporting bags after bags of grain to Hanjiacang for storage.

, even sold in Luoyang market.

This situation lasted for many years.

However, since Pei Yaoqing changed the course of the canal and adopted the segmented transportation method to transport grain and grass, the section of the waterway from Biankou to Luoyang was abandoned.

After all, this journey is purely a "waste" of money.

So the Hanjiacang Ferry was completely empty, just like a bird in Hanjiacang.

Not to mention a day, not even a month saw a few decent watercraft passing by. Luoyang's economy began to gradually decline. On the contrary, due to the hoarding of grain in Heyin warehouse, Biankou, a key node involved in waterway cargo transshipment,

, and it became increasingly prosperous.

In fact, to put it bluntly, how much grain and grass can be consumed in Luoyang? Many of the waterships that passed by in the past served Guanzhong.

Chang'an was the core of the empire. The merchant ships and watercrafts that traveled from various places would not have much potential if they did not go to Chang'an. Going to Chang'an, becoming a high official, and making a lot of money was the dream of every "Northern drifter".

At this moment, Zheng Shuqing was putting his hands behind his back, watching attentively one canal ship after another unloading cargo, just like the scene when Pei Yaoqing had not yet reformed water transport, and he couldn't help but smile contemptuously at the corner of his mouth.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "A piece of flying money is so terrifying. Hanjiacang prospered again because of it, and Heyincang declined because of it."

He couldn't help sighing and sighing.

Fang Chongyong's method was indeed a good one. Zheng Shuqing slightly updated the details without changing the general outline, and then handed it over to Li Linfu for review. The latter accepted almost all of it, but only put forward his own opinions in some small places.

It has been three months since the implementation of the new regulations, and the trend of grain imports and exports including Jiacang has begun to reverse. In the past, there was almost a one-sided decline. Now, the proportion of grain entering warehouses has begun to gradually increase, and now it has exceeded the 30% warning line.

This does not include that Hanjiacang has been transporting grain to Hexi, and allocating grain and grass every day to support the war in Hexi!

"The next stop should be the Minister of the Ministry of Finance."

When there was no one around, Zheng Shuqing said to himself. When he reaches the Sixth Book of Ministers, he is only one step away from becoming the prime minister. The only question is, when will he become the prime minister, and what important tasks will he be entrusted with!

While Zheng Shuqing was thinking about it, a eunuch in palace uniform walked up to Zheng Shuqing and said, "Master Zheng, please put aside what you are doing for a while and follow me into the palace to meet the emperor."

Entering the palace? Meeting the saint?

Hearing this, Zheng Shuqing had a strange look on his face. He didn't understand. If the central government came to him for something, it would be Li Linfu who came forward. Why would Li Longji ask him to talk to him?

It's really hard to understand.

Although he didn't know what Li Longji wanted to do, Zheng Shuqing knew very well that it was absolutely impossible not to go, and this Chang'an saint had a particularly bad temper.

You may not be able to remember your devotion to him.

You neglected your duties and took his words as a joke. This guy remembers it clearly and will kill people if he has the chance!

"I'll leave now."
