Chapter 554 Preparation before departure

"Mr. Junguo, there are less than 400 taels of silver in the accounts now. Do you think this project can be accepted by the palace?" Liu Wanche said.

"Have the windows been installed? Have the doors been installed? And the handrails on the stairs. Even if we can't use iron, we have to use wood.

The common people have to live in these houses for a lifetime, and the gentlemen who come from all over the country must make their lives comfortable! "

Qin Mo walked to a house and turned on the faucet. The water flowed loudly!

There is a water tower on the roof of every building to ensure daily water supply.

The difficulty is how to fetch water. Without electricity, water can only be fetched and pumped. In addition, there are water presses under each building, which can also greatly alleviate water pressure.

There is a long way to go.

He still has a lot to do.

The electricity thing can be arranged. As for when it can be done, it depends on how strong it is.

"Don't worry about money. I'll give you another 10 taels and finish it before October!"

There was no way, the Chengnan project cost too much money, and it emptied everything out of his pocket. In addition, he gave Li Shuangan 20 taels, and now he only had tens of thousands taels in his coffers.

I can only go home first and ask Lao Qin for help.

"Yes, I obey!"

"Uncle Ninth, there is no need for me to be so polite!"

Qin Mo said: "You have done a good job on this project. I am very satisfied. Have you seen the buildings over there? You and the other uncles will share one share. Although there are only [-] units, when people live in the south of the city, you will use them." You can come here to live here, or you can use it to collect rent, and I can earn you several thousand taels of silver a year."

"This, Duke Junguo, is too much for me"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. You all deserve this. When the time comes, I will sell several thousand sets. You can take advantage of the opportunity to sell half of them. I dare not say more. It's no problem to sell one set for 2000 taels or [-] taels."

Liu Wanche swallowed his saliva and said, "Good boy, the four of them can equally share fifty sets each. All the initial investment has been earned back."

And there are many shops there, and the shops are even more valuable.

"Thank you Lord Junguo!" Liu Wanche was extremely grateful.

Qin Mo patted his shoulder and did not stay in the south of the city for long.

A few months after he left Beijing, all the roads in the capital were turned into wide cement roads, and the [-]-mile Gyeonggi Road was also opened.

Relying on cement and steel bars, Qin Mo also made a lot of money.

Infrastructure construction takes time, and with more than 30 slaves, it is also a matter of time to repair other direct roads.

But the situation in the country is still very bad.

He found Zhang Xi, "Old Zhang, tidy up. Let's go from the Yellow River to the Bohai Sea in the next two days!"

Zhang Xi also received the order from the palace long ago, "Have you ever been in the water?"

"You don't care whether I have done it or not. Anyway, I am the highest officer this time. Just listen to me!" Qin Mo said: "Send all the ships that can be sent there. This mission is very heavy. Your mission is One, go fishing in the sea.”

"how about you?"

"Don't worry about me, just do your thing!"

Qin Mo has a lot to do this time. Whether Da Gan can get through this difficulty depends on this trip to the Bohai Sea.

"I don't want to know if you don't say I'm going to pull you down!" Zhang Xi also had a headache, and he didn't know what His Majesty was thinking about letting Qin Mo be the general manager of the Naval Academy, which made him extremely depressed.

"What kind of attitude do you have? You haven't even gone to sea yet, are you so naughty?" Qin Mo said: "Old Zhang, I'm telling you, I'm not the king of the county. If you dare not listen to me, I will Get you!"

Zhang Xi blew his beard angrily and glared, "Are you afraid of you?" Seeing the two of them fighting, the naval adjutant, Lianghua County Duke Liu Gui, came out to smooth things over, "Stop arguing, we are all colleagues, why are you arguing!"

"Huh, for Lao Liu's sake, I don't have the same knowledge as you!" Zhang Xi said.

Qin Mo has always been at odds with Zhang Xi. Even though the two of them experienced the military parade and the Tubo War together, he is a staunch princeling. From this point on, it is difficult for the two of them to live in peace.

"If you keep talking, keep talking, I will let you stay in the capital!"

"you!"

Zhang Xi was very angry, but there was nothing he could do, His Majesty just believed him, "Okay, I'll be honest with you, but let me tell you something, the naval march is not an easy task.

Sailing on the sea is risky. If you go fishing in the sea, if anything happens, you have to take care of it yourself. I don’t care! "

"Childish, if something happens, none of us can escape!" Qin Mo waved his hands and said: "I'm too lazy to talk to you, anyway, I said everything I needed to say.

If you try to mess with me on this matter, I'll mess with you! "

He just wanted to use the navy to train a qualified navy, and then he would directly defeat Zhang Xi.

The reason why he came here to cause trouble was to confuse him.

"Old Liu, your task is relatively simple. When the time comes, I will set up a fish canning factory in the Bohai Sea. The caught marine fish will be packed with ice and transported from the mouth of the Yellow River to the inland. You will be responsible for docking this area."

This Liu Gui is a good old man, warm-hearted, and smiles at everyone. Lao Qin thinks highly of him.

"General manager, it's the dog days of summer, how can there be so much ice?" Liu Gui asked.

"Don't worry, I have a solution!"

It is thousands of miles from the mouth of the Yellow River to the capital. If you want to deliver fish smoothly, there are several ways.

The fish are raised in the boat and oxygen is artificially generated to increase activity.

Or, just kill them and make cans on the spot.

Either pick these fish with salt. Bohai Bay is a very suitable place for salting, so there is no need to worry about lack of salt.

Saltpeter ice production is expensive, but it is not a very good method.

It can be sold to nobles and used to subsidize the victims!
"Hmph, I want to see how much ice you got there!" Zhang Xi didn't believe that Qin Mo could make a lot of ice.

Qin Mo didn't bother to explain. After leaving Zhang Xi, he went to the Thunder Army to mobilize 1000 people, plus [-] people from the military medical battalion.

Zan Ying is quite busy, he is getting vaccinated against cowpox all over the world, otherwise Qin Mo would want to take him away.

After doing this, Tang Jian came to the door.

"Hey, Old Tang, why are you here?"

"Hey, Jingyun, have you forgotten something?" Tang Jian asked.

"No, I didn't forget anything!"

"All the other envoys from Honglu Temple have left, and our Honglu Temple has also sent many people to their country to establish the Honglu Pavilion, but only the people from the Japanese country are still here."

Tang Jiandao: "His Majesty said that you should deal with them, but Su Yingao and the princess of Japan are all waiting for you to be punished!"

Qin Mo said: "Why can't I remember this?"

"You've been back for so long and I didn't even look for you. I thought I would wait until you were done with your work before coming, but you are going to Bohai tomorrow. You can't let them celebrate the New Year at Honglu Temple, right?" Tang Jian said helplessly.
