Chapter 244 Dead Lake and Dead Valley Have Business Opportunities
As soon as the two met by the Qingshui River, Zhang Haoran was very anxious: "I just got this job, and I got a hard job, you have to help me!"
What?
Zhang Haoran said, I don’t know if Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs accepted the prime minister’s entrustment to carry out relay suppression on me, and actually asked me to appease the refugees in the capital, strictly prohibiting the refugees from entering the city, and strictly prohibiting the refugees from committing crimes.
But I know, how can it be so easy?
There are nearly a million refugees in the capital, and hundreds of people starve to death a day without food. This is still summer. If it comes to winter, at least a hundred thousand people will die in one winter. When people have nothing to eat, drink, and wear, what else is there? Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith?There are those who commit crimes, there are those who enter the city to steal, there are those who murder and set fire, and there are even those who conspire and rebel...
Lin Su frowned: "You are not a hard job, this is purely a pit! How dare you jump into such a big pit?"
"Brother, of course I know it's a trap, but isn't there another one? Aren't you the best at solving the refugee problem in Haining? Help me, dealing with errands is one aspect, but on the other hand, you don't know how pitiful this refugee is." , I fly over their heads every day, I dare not look down, I am afraid that if I look down, I will see people cannibalizing..."
This is the key reason why Zhang Haoran took over the job.
His family lives in Green Willow Villa, and he can see the refugees every day when he opens the door. He feels the misery of the refugees more than anyone else...
Lin Su sighed helplessly: "Do you think that if Haining's refugee problem is solved, I can solve any refugee? Haining is blessed with resources. What is there outside this city? Nothing! What can I use to solve it?"
"If it doesn't work, it can only be fundraising. Find big households in the city and collect donations from house to house. You can collect tens of thousands of taels, and then set up a porridge shop outside the city... By the way, you, a big family, don't If you want to escape, please donate ten thousand taels of silver to me first."
Lin Su shook his head lightly: "What's the matter with you? Being an official means that even your brothers are worthless. Let's take a walk outside the city first. If there is really no way to solve it, I will give you tens of thousands of taels of silver. Be quick."
"How many taels? Eighty-nine thousand is also tens of thousands..." Zhang Haoran's eyes lit up.
"Look at your virtue..." Lin Su smiled: "Is it okay if I come and compete with your grandfather? How much he donates, I will double it!"
"How can my grandfather have any money? He has said it all. The Green Willow Villa is purely stubborn. Last month, he even sold a piece of writing left by his great-grandfather..."
The two left the city and walked outside the city.
Three miles out of the city, there are two heavens of ice and fire.
Inside the city is prosperous, but outside the city is full of refugees.
On the official road outside the city gate, there are the most refugees and the most gentle. They also know that this is the best place to beg. There are many people entering and leaving the city. No one knows if there will be kind-hearted people there. To a generous person, just give them a little, which represents the lives of several relatives.
But they also don't know whether there will be violent princes and grandchildren passing by. Once they collide with them, they will die immediately.
Therefore, these refugees all knelt on both sides of the road with their hands up.
There are also a few little girls, only twelve or thirteen years old, who are also kneeling by the side of the road. Some of them have grass ropes stuck around their necks. , it all depends on their own creation...
The two walked all the way without joking.
The thick human tragedy made them lose their mind to joke...
In front, two women whispered under the tree: "Is your uncle really in Haining?"
"Yes, three days ago, he sent a letter to his father, asking him to find a way to get there. He said that he and his aunt had arrived at the North Beach of Yishui, where the reservoir was being repaired, and they could have enough food. From next month, the two of them You can still get two taels of silver."
"This is also what the third son did?"
"Who says it's not? The third son personally went to Yishui North Beach a few days ago. This Yishui North Beach is still named after him. Everyone said that Yishui North Beach will be as good as Haining River Beach in a while." ..."
"Let's go too!"
"But how do we go? I heard that all the boats bound for Haining are full during this period of time at the pier. My uncle and the others went early. If we go now, we won't be able to squeeze in..."
Lin Su and Zhang Haoran stopped at the same time.
Lin Su frowned...
It's that knot again!
Haining was done, and people from all over the world crowded there.
The magistrate Yang could only set up checkpoints and seal the refugees in the North Beach of Yishui. When there were too many people, he was worried, and Lin Su was not satisfied. Therefore, Lin Su took action to deal with the refugees in the North Beach of Yishui. The refugees gathered, and the refugees around the capital were transported there in whole boats and boats. After a long time, there would be overcrowding there again.
Be it Haining or Yishui Beitan, they are all small places, how many people can they accommodate?
When there are too many people, the great situation may change beyond recognition in a blink of an eye.
The best way, of course, is to resettle in situ.
If there is any good industry around here, it will be the best...
But it is really not easy to have a good industry around the capital.
The point is that there is no land!
The land on the outskirts of the capital is all owned by big households in the capital. He can't move it at all. Without land, the road of planting will not work...
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the sparkling Liuting Lake.
Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to eat water, there is no fish in such a large lake on the outskirts of the capital. If aquaculture is used, it is enough to solve the employment problem of tens of thousands of people, right?
"Who does this Liuting Lake belong to?"
"Such a big lake, of course it belongs to the royal family, who dares to own it as a private person? Do you want to..."
"You said such a big lake, if it is used to raise fish, how many people can it support?" Lin Su said.
Zhang Haoran shook his head: "This lake is a dead lake, and there is no way to raise fish. Otherwise, how could there be no fish?"
Lin Su was surprised, why?
Zhang Haoran said: "You might as well taste the lake water, the water is bitter and astringent, even watering the crops will kill them!"
Together, Lin Su reached the edge of the lake, stretched out his hand, picked up a handful of clear lake water, and licked it with the tip of his tongue...
It's really bitter and astringent, why?
Zhang Haoran pointed to a mountain spout above: "There is a valley there. Not a single blade of grass will die in the valley, but it is a dead place. The rainwater washes down the soil from there and enters the lake, polluting the whole lake."
"Go, go to that valley to have a look!"
Together, Lin Su and Zhang Haoran landed in that valley. This valley is huge. As Zhang Haoran said, not a single blade of grass grows, and there is a strong smell in the air. Lin Su's heart is beating wildly, and he will not have such good luck. Bar?
He bent down and grabbed a handful of soil. There were crystal particles in the soil. When he raised his eyes, the surrounding mountains were full of such particles...
alkali!High purity alkali!
This is actually a huge alkali mine. Soda ash is common in nature, but it is absolutely impossible to see it on this scale. There is an entire valley here!
As long as there is a mine, it means getting rich. This mine is not only a matter of making a fortune, but also just connected with his soap plan. Soap needs a lot of alkali. There is no alkali mine in Haining, so it can only be refined with plant ash. Currently Also because of the land reclamation in Yishui North Beach, there is a large amount of plant ash, and the soap industry is booming. When the land reclamation is completed, the plant ash will become a bottleneck for the development of the soap industry.
Therefore, Lin Su has always regarded the soap industry as a small industry and handed it over to Cui Ying for fun.
He had just met with Qu Wendong and made a plan to deal with Marquis Dingzhou, intending to use soap to stamp down the dirty products of Marquis Dingzhou, but when he walked out of Qu's house, he realized a big problem, that is, there were not enough raw materials , there is not enough plant ash in the capital, and if there is not enough alkali to be refined, it will not be able to form batches. At most, the products of Dingzhouhou can only be knocked down from the altar, and soap will occupy the high end. problem, but it will not form a fatal impact on his industry.
But now, his bottleneck problem, with the emergence of a valley, turns around, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright...
"Does this valley have an owner?" Lin Su slowly raised his head, his eyes brightened.
"Around the capital, where is there no owner? Although this valley is only a death valley, there is still an owner, and he is a royal child!"
"Royal children?" Lin Su's heart sank suddenly. If there is anyone in this world that he can't handle, it is undoubtedly the royal children. If this valley is in the hands of the third prince and prince, it is impossible for them to follow suit He cooperates.
"Yeah, she is the most wonderful royal child. Although she is a princess, she can't step into the deep palace at all. Although her family is rich in the world, she can only get a death valley."
Lin Su said slowly, "Princess Yufeng?"
"Exactly! Did you see the red pavilion above? That's where Princess Yufeng comes most often. This pavilion is called 'Three Deaths Pavilion'!"
Three Deaths Pavilion?What a strange name...
Lin Su said: "Let's go visit this princess."
"What are you doing?" Zhang Haoran looked him up and down, somewhat vigilantly, you kid just seduced my sister, and now you want to visit the princess...
"Talk about a deal with her! As long as the deal is concluded, there will be an answer to the problem of refugees around the capital!"
"It's about refugees?" Zhang Haoran was surprised.
"What do you think it is? Let me tell you, if this matter is done well, Green Willow Villa will also become rich. If you are a dignified scholar, you can sell your ancestral property to live. Isn't it shameful? Thanks to your grandfather who can do it..."
Walk!Zhang Haoran soared into the sky, and was about to jump up to the red pavilion, but he stopped in mid-air, let's go to the main entrance, anyway, we are all in casual clothes, so let's visit as literati. She is very talented, so it is fair to say that she is the fourth most talented woman in the capital, but her status is special, so she is tied with Xie Xiaoyan, and people are worried about insulting the face of the royal family.
Princess Yufeng, no matter how much she is not loved by her grandparents, she is still a royal status. Xie Xiaoyan is a brothel girl after all, and the royal family will not like it if the royal princess and the brothel girl are juxtaposed.
Qifeng Villa is located in the suburbs of Beijing, only ten miles away from the city, and it is on both sides of the official road with Green Willow Villa.
Qifeng Mountain Villa occupies an extremely large area. If the valley is included, the area is at least tens of square kilometers.
Where the capital is located, every inch of land is expensive, and it has a manor in square kilometers. It's awesome, right?Perhaps this is what His Majesty wants. When outsiders hear that a certain princess has such a large manor in the capital, how much do the royal family dote on her?But if you understand it deeply, you will know that this place is indeed big, but it is useless...
This is a true portrayal of Princess Yufeng's current situation. It is scary to name her. In fact, the emperor doesn't like her at all.
It's the same as her elder brother, her elder brother Chen Wang also owns a large piece of land, but it's a pity that it's all wasteland that ordinary rich people don't want.
Before they arrived at Qifeng Mountain Villa, they saw a large number of refugees and a long porridge shed where several guard-like people were serving porridge. Feng Shanzhuang kowtowed, then walked away holding the porridge bowl. Their relatives may be lying on the side of the road dying at this moment. This bowl of porridge is their life...
Zhang Haoran's expression was complicated: "Princess Yufeng will give out porridge every few days, maybe I, Green Willow Villa, should learn from it."
Giving porridge is the most routine operation for kind-hearted wealthy households to face refugees in this era.
Lin Su has never done this, but he also respects such kind deeds.
The two passed by the long line of refugees, walked towards Qifeng Villa, and bowed slightly to the gatekeeper: "Please inform Her Royal Highness Princess Yufeng, Lin Su of Haining, and Zhang Haoran of the capital, please see me!"
In the backyard of the villa, Princess Yufeng is holding a copy of "Legend of the White Snake" in her hand, her eyes are slightly closed, her fingers are tapping on the pages of the book, her mind is wandering under the Leifeng Pagoda...
"Legend of the White Snake" was born out of nowhere, and there were countless interpretations for a while.
A storyteller appeared in the restaurant, who interpreted The Legend of the White Snake in the form of a story.
Folk scholars, under the old tree, tell the story of the White Snake.
Scholars from all over the world are writing the sequel of The Legend of the White Snake under the lamp...
Xie Xiaoyan had a whim, could she sing "Legend of the White Snake" and the brothel ditty?
As soon as this idea came out, Bi Xuanji and Lu Youwei praised it together. Princess Yufeng also applauded. Above the literary way, the emphasis is on developing the literary way. As women, they can't develop the literary way. Can they create a playful way?If it is really successful, it will be famous forever!
Whether it is Princess Yufeng or the three talented women in the capital, they are all proud and arrogant, but under the general situation where women are not educated, they are all doomed to be just a wave. Although their lives are short, they still want to perform Out of their own style.
Having said that, apart from this, what is there to support them to move forward?
Life is long, life is boring, the world is dangerous, and it is full of sadness...
However, how easy is it to develop a brand new art form?
What singing style to use, what content to sing, how to connect the story, and how to present it are all tests. Although the four talented women are all talented, they still feel very difficult in the face of the major breakthrough in the adaptation of "Legend of the White Snake". Yesterday, Xie Xiaoyan went to Xishan , I came up with an idea, how about we call Lin Dacai, he is the creator of The Legend of the White Snake, and he is also a legend of a generation above Wen Dao, can I ask his opinion?
Yes, he is the creator of The Legend of the White Snake. Who in the world can be more authoritative than him when it comes to adapting The Legend of the White Snake?
