Rebirth of the noble daughter

Chapter 397 408. Soul Boy
"There is a Taoist in Qingzhou named Tuya. It is said that his whereabouts have been erratic for decades. Even if he came out 15 years ago, he said that a reincarnated soul boy of an ancient god would be born in the Bai family, which would bring peace and tranquility to Dajin. But it is not easy to raise him, and he cannot be known by others, so after the child was born, he was handed over to Tu Ya by Bai Xiang and brought to Qingzhou to raise him. The soul boy was specially ordered by his master to save the common people and offered this method of water control."

After his words were finished, King Ding smiled.

"It is said that Mr. Wen is very knowledgeable. It is true. Although this king has never heard of this master, he knows a lot about the story of the reincarnated soul boy. Mr. Bai is so young and talented. If he has such a background, it is not surprising. Surprised."

The two of you talked to each other, and Qiao Shanwei fabricated such an identity.

With King Ding's ability, it is easy to completely erase a person's traces in the Eastern Capital. In addition, the Bai family also came forward to protect this matter, Qiao Shanwei's road home has become smooth.

Seeing that Qiao Shanwei's matter had taken shape, several people raised the issue on Chi Zimo's head.

In fact, his injury has almost recovered. After all, it is the Torch Dragon Pill, even if he is only half breathed, he can snatch it back from Hades.

Now he hides in the tent and doesn't show up, probably because he feels a little embarrassed to meet King Ding and Feng Jinyao.

But it's embarrassing and you can't keep seeing each other, especially in Qiao Shanwei's water control strategy, the Chi family plays the leading role.

So today, Wen Zhonghe also asked Chi Zimo to come over.

He arrived a moment later than everyone else because the time of He Yue in the text was already half an hour later.

There are some things that Chi Zimo can't say with them.

For example, what happened to Qiao Shan just now.

So when Chi Zimo walked in and saw Feng Jinyao and King Ding were there, he was slightly taken aback, and then saluted according to the rules.

"Chi has met the prince, Mr. Wen, and Miss San."

Feng Jinyao looked at him, and suddenly remembered the warm embrace behind her back that day, she was indeed a little embarrassed.

Xiao Ting frowned at this, what he disliked the most was this kind of scene.

But Wen Zhonghe didn't know the awkwardness of the three of them, so he spoke.

"Shuzhou suffered a catastrophe, and Patriarch Chi suffered accordingly."

"Mr. Wen is serious. I am only slightly injured. I just admired Mr. Wen's ability when I saw Shuzhou being rebuilt in an orderly manner on the way here."

"Patriarch Chi is polite, but if Shuzhou is to be rebuilt, Patriarch Chi's help may be needed."

"I?"

"Although the Chi family is a giant of merchants, most of their influence is rooted in Jinling City and the Jiangnan area. In the southwest area, I can only have a three-point face in the chamber of commerce. I'm afraid they won't be able to get in the way."

A tactful expression of refusal.

Chi Zimo didn't want to get involved in the affairs of Shuzhou.

It seems that the momentum here is very good now, but who knows what will happen in the future.

His Majesty in the capital probably hasn't gotten the news yet, if he knows, he doesn't know how he will react!

Wen Zhonghe and Xiao Tingyi's sharp eyes can naturally understand that Chi Zimo doesn't want to get involved, but now, if the Chi family doesn't come in, I'm afraid it will be much more difficult to handle the river transportation.

So Wen Zhonghe spoke first.

"Patriarch Chi is worrying too much. The people in the Chamber of Commerce in Shuzhou are fine this time. They are not worrying about me. It's just that although there are rivers in Shuzhou, most of them are narrow and inconvenient to dock. I'm afraid Patriarch Chi will be needed to help out."

"Building a river transport?"

"Yes!"

Instead, Qiao Shanwei's plan for river transportation and the results of opening canals and expanding the river were presented one by one.

Chi Zimo couldn't help admiring while watching.

"Qiao Shanwei? Is that the one who has been by Fengxian Cheng's side?"

Xiao Tingyi nodded, which surprised Chi Zimo even more.

He had never paid attention to this person seriously, or if he hadn't mentioned it this time, he would have even thought that Qiao Shanwei was just a shameful servant of the Feng family, but he didn't expect to have such abilities.

"Where did the prince find this person? It's really a skill."

"That's A Yao's cousin."

"Cousin?"

There are too many kinship relationships, and anyone in the aristocratic family can get involved with anyone, so Chi Zimo didn't pursue his identity too much.

Compared with his background, Chi Zimo cared more about his thoughts.

"The river transportation in Dajin has not been well developed, and there are only three reasons: first, the river is narrow and the current is turbulent, which is not conducive to the passage of ships. Second, no boats of suitable size have been built, either for people to enjoy. , the river water is not as good as the sea water, and it is not heavy. The three rivers are not profitable, the cost of investing in ships in the early stage is too high, and the things in the water are not as safe as the land. Naturally, no one cares about it over time, so the cost is of course expensive."

After briefly explaining the situation, Xiao Tingyi saw his interest.

"Patriarch Chi, don't worry, there is a way to solve the first point now. As long as Patriarch Chi is willing to help with the second and third points, I will definitely do my best to help."

"That's right! Your lord is right! Let's start with the territory of Shu Prefecture. Ten years later, I believe that the river transportation in Dajin will be even better than road transportation!"

Wen Zhonghe is also very interested in this matter.

At that time, not only will the flood be cured, but the lives of the people along the coast will also be greatly improved.

Civil security leads to Cathay Pacific, and not only Shuzhou will benefit, but all places with rivers in Dajin will be able to follow suit!

"For the construction of the Clippers, my Chi family can hand over the technology, but the things needed on both sides of the river can not be solved by simply building a dam and a place to stop the boat. The first problem is to cultivate a few people who can master the Clippers technology proficiently. man of!"

"It's not difficult. Not far from Shuzhou, there is a village with about [-] people. They often drive small boats on the Luo River and Xishui River on weekdays. I think they have some basic skills. If they are used for training , What does Patriarch Chi think?"

"That's daring."

After getting his affirmative answer, Wen Zhonghe became more passionate as he talked.

The main reason is that he has managed Shuzhou for many years, and he knows everything here.

No matter what Chi Zimo asked for, he could get it done in the fastest and most suitable way.

In just one hour, Chi Zimo and Shuzhou signed a document.

King Ding acted as a guarantor, and the two sides established the so-called Chiyun Chamber of Commerce. Shuzhou officials held [-] shares, and the Chi family held [-] shares. Taking advantage of the power of water conservancy, the distance between Jiangnan and Southwest was greatly shortened.

Aside from other things, even in the matter of eating, the consumption should be reduced a lot.

Chi Zimo didn't expect to win such a new business for the Chi family after this journey. If it is done well, it's no worse than shipping!

In the future, the river transportation in Dajin will also be dominated by his Chi family!
