Wind rises time and space gate

Lin Jingning was very excited when he heard that the sea ship was built.

Before, they were hoarding fields and cultivating in the mountains. Although they were divided into more than ten places, they still had to practice after going to the fields, so it was impossible to make them airtight.

It is impossible to surround the mountains in the mountains. There are still mountain hunters on the mountains. As long as they are discovered and brought to the government, they cannot be counted as mountain residents and refugees. Once the land cultivated in the mountains is registered, A large amount of taxes were levied, which benefited others.

Later, after Fang Da and Sun Lu and his son suppressed the pirates, these people became addicted to suppressing pirates.

Pretending to be a mountaineer is not as fun as pretending to be a pirate.The wind was strong, so I took a boat and took refuge in the sea. Who could find them?

Now most of their troops have moved to the island and have built high observation towers around them. The movement on the nearby sea surface can be seen at a glance. If there is danger, they will run away. No matter how hidden they are in the mountains, they are not as safe as here.

Moreover, when they farm on the island, no one will inquire about how to study it and if it is productive, it will all fall into their own pockets.

Sun Ze and Fang Da were already addicted to suppressing pirates and wanted to take possession of all the coastal islands.

"We have built some ships, but not many. I have secretly ordered people to search for them in Zhejiang, Fujian and other places. I believe that next year the number of sea-going ships in our hands will be greatly increased."

Fishing boats are easy to build, and they have already acquired dozens of them, but they want to build big ships, warships that can carry hundreds of thousands of people.

And such a ship requires a lot of silver.The 20 taels sent by His Highness have been almost spent, and Fang Da is now worried about where to find some money.

I couldn't help but squat on the ground and started chatting with Lin Jingning...

"Tell me, where do those pirates get their money? They can't just rob passing caravans."

They suppressed some pirates, exploited the gangsters, and got some wealth, but they didn't spend it.The pirates who were interrogated last time said that they had been occupying this area for decades, and the plundering of passing merchant ships should not be enough to support them. They wanted to sell the robbed goods, and they should also sell some private goods.

They are regular troops and would not dare to rob merchant ships.Then can they also learn from the merchant ships to do business?
Lin Jingning scratched his head, how could he know how to do business. "Why don't you send a letter to the King of Yue and ask the King of Yue?"

"My letter has been sent."

But this place is too far away from Tianshou Mountain, and it takes time to go back and forth. I don’t know when the reply from the King of Yue will arrive.In winter, apart from practicing, they can't plant the land anymore. They always feel bored and want to do something.

"Aren't you asking people to study how to cultivate pearls? We have established breeding bases on several islands. Once they are cultivated, they will make money by selling them."

When Fang Da heard this, his head was as big as a bucket.

How could a group of big-headed soldiers know such detailed work?He sent people to find mother-of-pearls one by one and sent them to the island. He also opened the shells and planted the pearl cores as the King of Yue said, but nine out of ten of them died.

The money was pouring into the water, but it didn't produce any results, which made him want to cry blood.

He even suspected that His Highness had been deceived and was obsessed with money. How could he grow pearls?I thought it was just like farming, plowing the soil, sowing seeds into it, and you would get a harvest.

Fang Da had a headache.

"I still need to practice, and I'll leave the pearl cultivation to you." He ran away, fearing that Lin Jingning would catch him.

Lin Jingning stretched out her hand to call him, but paused again.He will support him.

He did not think that His Highness had been tricked.His Highness must have seen it at Fourth Sister's. The pearls there were artificially raised, so he wrote a tutorial for them to try.It makes no sense that Fourth Sister can raise her successfully there, but they cannot raise her here.

Lin Jingning immediately ignited his fighting spirit. He wanted to raise the pearls and then give them to his family and each of his four sisters a box of the pearls he had raised!
On the other side, the Yuezhou magistrate's office.The master pushed the door open and said, "Master."

Li Mao was busy and looked up at him, then his eyes fell on the files on the case.

He had only been in Yuezhou for less than a month, and he had been sorting out the mess left by the previous prefect for a month. With the New Year approaching, he had to report the situation in Yuezhou to the capital, and he was very busy.

It's a pity that he has endured two terms from the poor place of Luozhou. He thought that after one more term, not to mention being transferred to the capital, he could always be transferred to a more prosperous place. He never expected to be transferred to Yuezhou again.

Yuezhou is even poorer than Luozhou.

What is there in Yuezhou?There were too many mountains and too little land. The people had enough to eat and the land they cultivated was not enough to pay taxes. They had to be arrested every three days to perform various kinds of corvee work. As a result, a large number of people hid in the mountains and became mountain people.

It was impossible to collect taxes and grain from the fields in the first place, and now it is even more difficult to do so.

Did he offend some god and send him to Yuezhou?

Li Mao wanted to scold his mother, but he also felt that he had lost the self-respect of a scholar, and he just felt uncomfortable in his heart.

"Sir," the master came closer, "I asked the mountain people and they said that all the food was sent to a village at the foot of the mountain. He also said that the village had only been established for two or three months and it didn't exist before. Then. I sent someone to the village to ask, sir, guess what?"

Li Mao raised his eyelids lightly, "What's the matter? Does it have a great background?"

After Li Mao took over Yuezhou, he found that the yamen warehouse was so clean that he could run a horse inside, and even mice could jump inside. He was worried about how to pay taxes and grain this year, when he found someone reporting that people were buying grain from outside one after another. Ship it in.

He thought it was some grain merchant who came to Yuezhou to do business, and was about to discuss it with him and ask him to help him buy some grain so that he could use it for business. But he found that it was not the grain merchant's grain, but the grain shipped into the city. The grain was transported to the mountains.

The mountain people do not farm, so it is normal for them to buy food outside for food, but it cannot be transported from place to place like this.Could it be that the mountain people in Yue are richer than those elsewhere?
I asked someone to check it out.

The master then found the head of a Zhuangzi.

"My master guessed it right, isn't it a very powerful person? You know whose food town this Yuezhou belongs to, right?"

Li Mao glanced at him. How could he know this? "Isn't it from the King of Yue?"

"Yes, it belongs to the King of Yue. And according to that Zhuangtou, that Zhuangzi also belongs to the King of Yue."

What!Li Mao was surprised.

The King of Yue established a Zhuangzi here?Hidden at the foot of a mountain?Didn't the King of Yue guard the imperial mausoleum? Why did he send people to Yue to build a Zhuangzi?Are you sending people over and over again to buy grain?
"The head of the village was a talkative man. He said that when the prince was convicted, some old people were sent away and lived poorly elsewhere. Later, when the King of Yue made him king, those old people came back. The King of Yue couldn't resettle them, so he sent them away. Yue Di is coming.”

"He also said that he could not collect the food tax in Yue area, so he thought about buying some seeds and letting those old people try to grow one. Using the methods learned from Beijing, if he could educate the people in Yue area and have a good harvest of food, then he The food tax can also be collected.”

Li Mao was stunned.

If the tax revenue of Yue land cannot be collected every year, then the king of Yue cannot get the food tax. It seems reasonable and reasonable for him to think of some ways to grow food here to settle the old people.

But Li Mao always felt that it was not simple.
