While Fu Xiaoguan was restless, the days passed quietly.
The willow trees in Wofeng City have shed their leaves after all, but the yellow horn trees are still full of green, and the autumn chrysanthemums that should have come to an end in Jinling are still blooming properly in Wofeng Plain. prosperous.
On October 22, the tenth year of the Xuan Li calendar, Fu Xiaoguan finally received the news from Jinling.
The mother and child are safe, and Dong Shulan also gave birth to a little cotton-padded jacket for herself. This is simply great news.
Fu Xiaoguan wrote a letter home on the spot. He was worried that Dong Shulan would be sad about giving birth to a daughter. In this letter, he was very relieved and emphasized that he preferred his daughter.
Then he named the two children. His daughter was named Fu Duoduo, and his son was named Fu Ziliang. He was quite satisfied with the daughter's name, but the son's name... let's just do that.
In the end, he naturally said that he would go home for the Chinese New Year this year, and would set off around the end of November.
After Cui Yueming sent this letter via carrier pigeon, Fu Xiaoguan felt much more relaxed.
The uneasiness that had weighed on him for many days finally dissipated, and he returned to his full-blooded appearance, so much so that Yun Xiyan dared to sell the "Collection of Fu Xiaoguan's Poems and Essays" that he had tinkered with.
Yun Xiyan is also happy these days.
At a quick count, this anthology has sold five volumes so far!
He can earn three taels of silver from each book, which is a net profit of fifteen thousand taels, so in his heart, this Ding'an Bo is his God of Wealth!
He spent all the fifteen thousand taels of silver on the stock market. Yes, after hearing that Ding Anbo bought one million shares of Qingzhou Shipping, he immediately followed suit and bought ten thousand shares. Cheongju Shipping Co., Ltd. with 5,000 shares.
He was waiting to get rich, but he didn't know that Fu Xiaoguan never thought that the one million taels of silver would come back.
"The Southeast Grand Canal is a hugely expensive project in Qingzhou. According to my estimates, it will take at least ten years for this project to be navigable..."
Sitting in the office of the Secretariat, Fu Xiaoguan, Ning Yuchun, Yun Xiyan and Zhuo Donglai spoke earnestly.
In his previous life, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered the construction of the Grand Canal, using all the efforts of the country and millions of workers, which took seven years!
Of course, the entire Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is relatively complicated. It has been repaired by successive dynasties and took more than a thousand years. This cannot be compared.
From Lanling to the Yangtze River, according to the direction of the river, it must be more than 800 miles, and it is impossible for Qingzhou to recruit millions of migrant workers, so Fu Xiaoguan is very conservative in ten years, and it may be fifteen A twenty-year long project.
And all the income of the Wofeng Dao government will be thrown into this bottomless pit.
But he still stood up for this project, firstly because if this southeastern waterway can really be connected, it will definitely become the main artery of the southeastern economy of Yu Dynasty!
And it is connected to the Yangtze River, which means that Wofeng Road and the Thirteenth Road of the Yu Dynasty are closely connected.
The raw materials transported from other roads to Wofeng Road will be faster. Similarly, the goods produced on Wofeng Road can also be sold to other roads quickly.
As for the second one... Before the completion of the Grand Canal, the finance and taxation of Wo Feng Road will not be turned over to the central finance, and it will even need the support of the central finance. The development speed of the entire Yu Dynasty will slow down, which is beneficial to the Wu Dynasty. .
So after Fu Xiaoguan read the plan, he thought carefully about it for three days and approved this huge investment.
"Ten years...?" Yun Xiyan took a breath, and Fu Xiaoguan nodded, "At least ten years!"
Yun Xiyan suddenly felt a little panicked. The 15,000 shares he bought... he had to go to Sitong Bank to check at any time. Once they rose, it would be better to sell them as soon as possible.
"I'm looking for you two today to explain the plan for Wo Feng Road next year."
Fu Xiaoguan held in his hand a stack of the current industries of Wofeng Road calculated by the Secretariat, as well as various investments entering Wofeng Road.
"Cheongju is suitable for planting mulberry and raising sericulture. Cheongju has the most textile factories, so next year Cheongju must focus on solving the problem of mulberry silkworms and meet the needs of local factories as much as possible."
"Qizhou is very mountainous. Dong Xiangfang's report said that the Gongsun family, one of the five major families in the Yu Dynasty, discovered an iron ore vein in Luojia Mountain in Qizhou. The state government gave the Gongsun family a mining approval. Now the Gongsun family is also building iron smelting and forging workshops in Luojia County..."
"Qizhou must continue to explore for mineral veins, and besides..."
Fu Xiaoguan looked at Yun Xiyan, "I remember you once said that the hemp trees in Qizhou are good. Please remember this and let the people of Qizhou plant hemp trees, but the linen cloth must be sold to Qingzhou."
Yun Xiyan was startled, "Why?"
"After Cheongju, it is a light industrial zone... You can understand it as mainly light textiles, such as linen, silk, ready-made clothes, shoes and hats, etc."
"What about Qizhou?"
“Since Qizhou is rich in mountains and minerals, it will develop into a heavy industrial area, that is, smelting and forging.”
Ning Yuchun frowned slightly. He didn't quite understand why Fu Xiaoguan made such a distinction, but he just blindly believed that since Fu Xiaoguan did this, he must have a reason.
"Why are you planning for next year now?" Ning Yuchun was very worried, worried that this man would run back to the Wu Dynasty.
Fu Xiaoguan grinned, "Huang Ren killed two thousand of my Divine Sword Army. I have to avenge this revenge myself!"
Both Ning Yuchun and Yun Xiyan were shocked, you are such a Taoist!
He is also the Minister of Commerce!
You are not a general!
Ning Yuchun was stunned for a long time before he said: "Your Majesty will not let you take risks!"
"What you want to say is that I went AWOL."
"That's what I mean... You don't like this platform?"
Fu Xiaoguan shook his head and suppressed his smile, "The Desolate Man has always been the biggest hidden danger of the Yu Dynasty. If this hidden danger is not solved, the north will never be at peace. What you don't know is... the blue flag of the Yi Kingdom invading the Desolate Man. Territory, the war is over. The Yi Kingdom has only occupied half of the Blue Flag territory..."
Fu Xiaoguan paused, and then said: "This means that the Huangren may have reached some kind of agreement with the Yi country, and the 400,000 Heavenly Sword Army that the Huangren spent so much effort to train will not be used by the Yi country if he doesn't attack them." Why are people driven away?”
The expressions of Ning Yuchun and Ning Yuchun suddenly changed, "The deserter is going south again?"
"Yes..." Fu Xiaoguan nodded, "It is in the interest of the Yi Kingdom for the Huang people to go south, so the Yi country's army did not continue to fight in order to give the Huang people this opportunity."
"The deserter dare not delay any longer, because the northern frontier army will only equip more and more flintlocks and red cannons. If he delays it any longer, he will never have the chance to invade the south, so I conclude that next spring, the deserter will People must go south."
"This is a matter for the northern frontier army!"
"Yes, I just took the Divine Sword Army to practice."
Are you really just going to practice?
Neither Ning Yuchun nor Yunxi Yanzhuo could guess Fu Xiaoguan's thoughts.
Did he really go to avenge the two thousand soldiers of the Divine Sword Army?
He doesn't have to go to that battlefield at all. After all, the Divine Sword Army is well-trained and has its own generals. All he needs to do is give an order to solve the problem.
But why did Fu Xiaoguan go to the battlefield in person?
