"If God does not take it, he will suffer the consequences; if the time fails, he will suffer the consequences. Xunhuan, this thousand-mile stone pond produces hardware, but if China does not take it, be careful not to even get a copper cow in the future!"

"But the South China Sea is vast, how can the imperial court take care of it?"

"What should the court take care of? Since we are the subjects of the Han emperor, we should share our worries for the emperor..."

The local bureaucrat of His Highness Jiang’s internship unit had a resolute expression and a decisive expression, as if he was a "branch of the country" and "confidant of the court".

If Li Yuanxiang hadn't known that what these "dog officials" were doing was crazy, he would have believed it.

Unlike the traditional bureaucrats in Luoyang who like to make "official voices", "acting skills" are popular here in Wuhan, which means that they are just enough. The key is to be affordable, right?

After all, who is the old man who comes to Wuhan to be an official, who doesn’t have two relatives running around the world? The profits of this ship are just about the little salary of being an official, so don’t even think about it if you die.

"I still think that if there is a change, it will be difficult to calm down quickly. If this continues, it will be difficult to keep the tail from being too big."

"Your Xunhuan is such a bad word."

Another bureaucrat jumped out, put the pen in his hand on the pen holder, and then said seriously, "At that time, China knew the greatest talents in the world, and the imperial court must choose their ability. Nowadays, the boys in Jiangxia School in China and now know that there is a world of world besides China."

The little official in plain robe looked quite contented: "I'm so happy to know that I don't care about civil engineering, agriculture, forestry, aquatic products, and mulberry silkworm breeding. I don't just do my own things, but let you take charge of the overall situation and cooperate with each other. The principle here is called "coordination."

"No mistake! In Wuhan, today, we do not plan for a moment, but for a lifetime; we do not look at the present moment, but for a future. The principle here is called the word "development".

Another bureaucrat jumped out and spoke with honor, and even said to Li Yuanxiang: "The Master said: The rotten wood cannot be carved, and the wall of dung is undead. Even if there are heroes in the future, they will not lose their tails, and in one sentence, they will be called back!"

"China is wearing a strong and holding a sharp edge. Before she has left Shitang, she is worried that she will take off her hands in the future. She doesn't have to do anything anymore. Wouldn't it be easy to go home to take care of her children?"

Although he was unhappy when he heard the bragging of a group of Wuhan bureaucrats, Li Yuanxiang still felt ashamed. His dignified family, dignified prince, and his courage was even worse than a ninth-rank sesame official. He was really better than going home to play with birds.

I picked up the teacup and drank a sip of Linzhang Mountain tea. This was not a high-end product like the curd. The tea was not strong after stir-frying, but it was better because of its bitterness and refreshing spirit, and it became the favorite in the Wuhan officialdom.

The seats in the office are quite comfortable and have a backrest. They lean backwards. Li Yuanxiang breathed a sigh of relief and was about to adjust his mood, but he saw a painting hanging at one end of the office.

"That's... a map?"

"The paintings drawn by the West Factory in the past year can compare with the Pamirs and the Lion Kingdom. Is there a small dot west of the Pamirs? A small dot made of copper heads."

"Well, I saw it, what does that mean?"

“Gold mine.”

The bureaucrat covered his mouth and whispered to Li Yuanxiang, "I'm afraid I'll scare Xunhuan when I say it, but since you can come here to walk and study, then you will be your own people sooner or later. There were originally a few local countries in this land. However, the Hou borrowed the debt and borrowed troops, gathered the troops and wiped them out in one breath."

"What...what?!"

His Highness Jiang's eyes were bulging, and he never knew that there was such a crazy thing among the people.

Then he suddenly reacted: "Brother just said that Hou family is it?"

"Who else can you do? Of course it's the marquis of the Tianguan family."

“…”

Li Yuanxiang, whose three views were rubbed again, felt that he was really a terrifying country bumpkin. When he was in the capital, he looked at the Minister of War Hou Junji, and seemed to be loyal to the emperor's brother and very flattering. But who would have thought that there was such a big deal behind his back?

But the question is, where did the Hou family get the strength to reach the west of the Pamir Mountains?

"Is this really west of the Palacio?"

"Just saying that, how can I let me know which territory it is? In the whole of Wuhan, I'm afraid there are not many people who can know where the Hou's gold mine is."

The bureaucrat who replied, "Xunhuan, do you see the small dots on this map? Any places marked out either produce hardware or carbon, the least, there is always porcelain clay."

"Old brother, thank you for your advice. I never thought... this matter can still be done like this." Li Yuanxiang sighed and suddenly saw that in addition to the inland, there were also many small spots on the sea, so he asked, "There are these small spots inland, and I can understand the truth, but can I salvage hardware at sea? "

"It is natural that it is impossible to salvage hardware, but it is not difficult to salvage fish and shrimp. Didn't Xunhuan find that these small dots are connected into a line?"

"Oh? Why is this?"

"Whenever it is in front of the line, there must be a trend and a group of fish. The General Manager of the Korean Road March has specially asked the Ministry of War to help buy dried fish. Does Xunhuan know what quantity is used to buy? It is not limited to the regular soldiers and baggage, three meals a day, two taels of dried fish for each meal, and the amount of one year."

"The amount of one year!"

Li Yuanxiang held his finger and felt that the quantity was simply terrifying. In the past, how could he buy dried fish specifically? It would be nice to eat rice noodles, some lard and some salt.

Back then, I used to destroy the Turks with my belt, but now I am so rich and powerful?

And what shocked Li Yuanxiang was not because of his wealth and willfulness. It was because Niu Jinda made this request. The Ministry of War did not find it strange, but really thought it could be satisfied.

Dried fish, if it were the previous dynasty, how could the people store so much dried fish?

"In the past Sui Dynasty, I'm afraid that even the family savings of Old Emperor Yang were defeated. But what is this in the Zhenguan Dynasty? It's a matter of more than ten or twenty ships. Xunhuan, do you know that now the East China Sea is hunting and killing the giant Kun, and the fleet can return to the port, at least fifty, sixty, seventy or eighty. If it were the other person, it wouldn't work, but can the hemp ropes I produced in Wuhan be ordinary goods?"

"Didn't the Giant Kun say it's not a fish? The fish are born with eggs, and the Giant Kun seems to be born with fetal birth."

"Don't care about these details."

The bureaucrat smiled and then continued, "Have you ever seen a trawl in a trawl? The reservoirs here in Wuhan can also be used, but if they really trawl in a trawl, the fish and shrimp in the reservoir will be extinct. However, the rivers and seas make it inexhaustible. If the trawl produced by other families will not work after a few times. It is no problem to recover the money produced by Wuhan, and it will be restored."

"If this is the case, it's probably not surprising that it's the usual seafood now. No wonder, before I came to Wuhan, there were a lot of seafood in my hometown, most of which were dry goods."

"yes!"

Sesame official clapped his high-high and said, "Just talk about this cuttlefish, octopus, Xunhuan, do you know how to catch it?"

"Is this fish a unique way?"

"Steak fishing, and octopus fishing. But this octopus has a habit of burrowing a cave. The tighter it is, the more you like it. So on this boat, you will prepare more bottles and jars with thin necks, tied them with ropes, and sink them into the water. The old experts can look for fishing traces, and only need to find the place, these song bottles and jars can seduce octopus into the jar."

"If you get stuck, you will be unable to take it off for a moment. If you go ashore, it will become seafood..."

Li Yuanxiang also understood and nodded repeatedly, "The truth in this is not simple."

"How can there be a simple truth? It's all figured out by human life. It's just like this octopus, thanks to His Highness the King of Wu who likes curiosity, this is why he discovers this."

“It’s really not easy.”

Li Yuanxiang said again, but he was even more amazed in his heart: The seaside fishermen may not not know this principle, but this principle cannot become Kaiyuan Tongbao. Only here can the principle be changed to gold and silver, and can wear clothes and eat.

On the table, there is a bag of sliced ​​charcoal octopus feet. Because it is sweet, it is extremely popular. Because it is full of chewiness, it may not be eaten as a meal for ordinary people.

Wuhan is busy with business, and bureaucrats often drink porridge and eat breakfast in the office. The charcoal octopus feet became a side dish for meals and a temporary trend.

Even a small bag of snacks is not easy? Next to the charcoal grilled octopus foot, there is a bag of walnut kernels. This is not the kind of big walnut, but small walnuts and pecans. Although the taste is great, it is not that simple to eat a whole walnut kernel.

If you hit a small hammer somewhere else, you can produce twenty complete walnut kernels with a hundred pecans. The skill of this person who smashes walnuts is already quite good.

But in Wuhan, no matter how many pecans you have, they will be poured into a special shell breaker. This kind of specially trained machine is not a problem to process two or three thousand kilograms of walnuts a day.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, there were countless mountain merchants who knew that there were this machine. However, only Wuhan could make this machine.

The reason is very simple, because only Wuhan can produce extremely inconspicuous springs.

If there was a really powerful blacksmith who made a row of springs with steel, training would become a problem again. After a set of processes, it would be a cost that would be enough for the whole family to eat walnut kernels all year round.
