Water Margin: I, Wang Lun, will have many children and many blessings in Liangshan.

The visitor is Duan Jingzhu.

The yellow-haired man whipped his horse and followed.

If you go any further, you will have to leave Yunzhou.

Wu Shu was worried and did not want to stay in Liangshan territory, so he chose to leave.

This decision caused great harm to the boatmen.

Fortunately, Wang Lun made the decision, and the boatmen of this galley took an early vacation to go home to reunite with their families, and then their wages for the month after going to sea were increased five times.

When the news came out, the sailors who were not selected at the time were slapped in the legs.

Such a good thing, why can't it be my turn?

Now many galleys have been allocated to the Trade Department, and sailors are also recruited from the private sector, not water battalion officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers of the water camp must cooperate with the Construction Department to build new warships and conduct daily training.

When it comes to trade and business, Shuiying should not be involved.

Otherwise, if time passes, something will happen.

"Brother Duan"

"The fourth prince."

Wu Shu had a smile on his somewhat pale face.

The people in Duan Jing were quite nice, and he actually wanted to give one as a gift to himself.

There was also a golden horse made of thousands of gold in the cabin.

"Fourth Prince, I am here to see you off, and to talk about the trade between Liangshan and the Kingdom of Jin.

Wu Shu had a bitter look on his face and said,"I wonder if Brother Duan has anything to teach me?""

"The fourth prince must be worried that the number of horses, furs, and pearls in the future will not be enough to exchange for a large amount of food, cloth, cotton, salt, etc.?"

"Yes, there is indeed such a concern. We, Daijin, are facing a war with the Liao Kingdom, and it is difficult to release manpower to do these business matters. Duan

Jingzhu smiled and continued:"But if you don't do it, you will face the dilemma of having nothing to trade?" After all, these goods from Liangshan, not counting those luxuries, are of great use to you."

"This statement is true."

Wu Shu didn't want to say any more.

After all, he still had to face the problem.

Young people value dignity very seriously. If Zong Jun, Zong Han and others were here, they would definitely ask questions and get to the bottom of the matter. Fortunately

, Duan Jingzhu came here just to give some advice. Regardless of Wushu's expression, Duan Jingzhu continued:"In fact, the Kingdom of Jin has a very rich resource, which is inexhaustible and inexhaustible. The master said, let's talk about it. , the natural resources of the Kingdom of Jin are much richer than those of Liangshan.

Wu Shu forced a smile and said,"Brother Duan, are you kidding me?""

It's really like a joke.

Wu Shu himself didn't even know that Dajin had such resources.

Are you richer than Liangshan?

617 If Wang Lun, the head of the family, hadn't said this, Wu Shu would have wanted to turn against him directly.

"How can the master know how to joke? Duan

Jingzhu said with a serious face:"In terms of construction, infrastructure, transportation buildings, and shipbuilding everywhere in Liangshan, what do the fourth princes think is most lacking?""

"what is……"

Wu Shu had a thought and said,"Is there a shortage of wood?"

"correct!

Duan Jingzhu patted his thigh and said,"It's not just the lack of big wood!""

Don't think that during the feudal period, the land was vast and sparsely populated, with lush vegetation and excellent environmental protection.

In fact, there were good things, such as a sky full of stars, fresh air, crystal clear river water, and extremely rich fish resources in the sea and rivers.

Wild animals were also A lot.

These are facts.

But it is also a fact that in densely populated areas, environmental pollution and damage are serious.

Northern Shaanxi and northern Shanxi were developed early and deforestation was severe. During the Song Dynasty, it became a place with extremely harsh natural environment.

During the Ming Dynasty, An artificial desert was formed in the Yulin area.

It was really man-made. The trees and shrubs were cut down, and the turf was destroyed by grazing.

The desert was formed.

In places such as Jingdong, Jingxi, and Gyeonggi Road in the Song Dynasty, they were developed early and the population Dense.

There are not that many wild animals, and many places on the mountain are bare.

Although it will not cause soil erosion, after all, there are still rocks, grass, and shrubs.

In addition, the gradual use of coal for heating and cooking has affected the natural environment. The intensity of the damage has also decreased.

But to put it bluntly, it is very common to see bald mountains everywhere these days. In later generations, until the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, bald mountains were also very common.

People had to make fires to cook and keep warm. , we still need to build houses, make furniture, and make beds, all of which require wood. What if we don’t cut down the trees?

Even the dead branches of shrubs will not be spared.

Even in modern times, the situation has been the same for many years. There are people who specialize in picking up dead branches everywhere. There are people who make a living by selling firewood.

There are also people who specialize in selling firewood.

This occupation gradually disappeared until the 21st century.

Here on Jingdong East Road, although it is not as ruined as Guanzhong, there are still green mountains and green waters.

But at most it is newly planted. The tree is like a giant tree that cannot be hugged by one person, or a tree that can be hugged by several people. It is extremely rare here, and it can even be said that there is no such thing.

There is neither big wood nor good wood.

Since the Song Dynasty, the big trees used to build imperial palaces have been here. I searched in the south.

The Ming Dynasty even cut down large trees in the mountains of Huguang, Yunnan and Guizhou.

There were hundreds of thousands of palaces and pavilions, except for the main hall and specific places that used golden nanmu, most of the rest also had to use precious wood.

Dozens of them. Thousands of people were cutting wood in the mountains everywhere.

It drifted out along the river, and then passed through the main river all the way north.

By the Qing Dynasty, there were not many big timbers even in the mountains of Huguang, Yunnan and Guizhou.

During the reign of Shunzhi and Kangxi, palaces were repaired, which was to the Ming Dynasty imperial mausoleum. Go to demolish the wood of Xiangdian.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, they simply went overseas to Nanyang to buy wood.

Because of the outsourcing, I met a liar and caused an international scandal.

At this time, Liangshan also wanted wood.

Of course, no gold wire was needed. Nanmu, Wang Lun is not interested in this thing

"What the boss wants is oak wood, which is everywhere in the forests of Liaodong!"

Duan Jingzhu didn't mean to be confused with Wu Shu. Today is the day to say goodbye to the new year and welcome the new year. Dozens of good guys gathered in the Juyi Hall in Yuncheng. It was a lively and bustling place. It was the time when the wine was flowing and the ears were full..

If he wasn’t on an errand, who would want to chase after him in the cold weather?

"Oak wood?"

"It is a kind of wood. It is not expensive and looks ordinary. However, this wood material is relatively strong and suitable for building ships. To be honest, the fourth prince, our business in Liangshan is big now, so we can’t always point others to our door. If we have more ships, we will do business much faster and ship more goods."

"That's it. I'll report it when I get back. It would be best if it's feasible."

Wu Shu's eyes showed joy.

In his opinion, Liangshan wanted to sell more goods and might need this oak wood. It opened a back door for the Kingdom of Jin and gave them the capital to continue trading. In fact, it was not the case.

This time Wu Shu The reception received by the art, all kinds of elaborate designs, what they want is the effect at the last moment.

Accept it happily, without doubting it.

In fact, there is nothing suspicious. Liangshan really needs oak wood to build ships.

But if you directly If you bring it up, people will think you have ulterior motives or that it is a rare commodity.

At the end of the day, it was Duan Jingzhu who helped come up with a solution. In Wushu's view, this was just something Liangshan could barely come up with.

But really No.

Oak and oak belong to the same family and are very similar.

They are both high density, extremely strong, and special wood suitable for shipbuilding.

There is no native oak in China, but many were planted in later generations, mainly used to make furniture and wooden floors..

When it comes to this matter, there is a joke.

During the Age of Discovery, a certain Nordic country tried its best to plant millions of oak trees with the whole country...

Oak trees do not become mature in just a few decades. Fifty years is just the beginning. To build a sail warship, the oak must be at least a hundred years old.

The best quality is between 150 and 200 years.

So the country planted a large amount of oak.

When these oaks are mature and can be used, World War II will be over...

Wang Lun is planting oak now, and the day lilies are probably too cold to be used.

Even with the blessing of"Shen Nong", it is impossible to achieve the unparalleled effect.

On the other hand, the oak trees in Liaodong are really all over the mountains. It is excellent, not It is easy to cut down. People rarely cut down oak wood for firewood, but most often use it to build houses.

Both oak and oak belong to the family Domaceae, but the big wood from the south is used to make fortune ships, and it is unlikely to go to the north to cut down wood for shipbuilding. , Liangshan comes in handy.

It is not difficult for the Jin Kingdom to mobilize tens of thousands of people to chop wood, (abaf) it is even easy.

After all, in an emerging country, all kinds of governance have not become normal, and the people under the rule are in shock, and it is very It is difficult to stabilize and collect taxes normally.

It is really difficult to mobilize the warriors of the Jin Kingdom for hunting. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

But to cut wood, you only need to mobilize the people of the original prefectures and counties of the Liao Kingdom, and choose a few Ten thousand strong men can take turns serving as corvees.

Cut down tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of qualified oak trees, build them into rafts, and push them into the Yalu River...

Float down the river to the mouth of the river, where there are galleys from Liangshan waiting. , hook it up, hang it on the sailboat, and take it directly back to Dengzhou.

The wood needs to be dried and exposed to the sun, and the moisture inside must be completely dried before it can be used to build a boat.

If it is dried naturally, at least It takes two years to start.

Four to five years is the best.

Liangshan definitely can’t wait that long.

A large number of drying rooms can be built for drying. Although it will consume some coking coal, it is not worth mentioning for Liangshan. The premise is that, Obtain large quantities of qualified oak wood

"Thank you, Brother Su. Wu Shu solemnly clasped his fists and said,"When you return to the Kingdom of Jin someday, I will give you a fine horse.""

It's impossible to look like a lion in the night. Wu Shu got it by chance and it was stolen.

How can there be so many BMWs and divine horses that travel thousands of miles a day?

A good horse costs thousands of dollars, which is not a small gift.

Duan Jingzhu smiled and cupped his hands.

As long as he got the wood, it didn't matter whether he went to the Kingdom of Jin or not.[]

Among Liangshan's trading partners, the Kingdom of Jin would really not be an important part of the country if it didn't have special products like war horses and oak wood.

The Prince of Java, who came with hatred, received hospitality suitable for his status from the concierge, and gave him a gold-inlaid carriage, a set of expensive glassware, and a set of mirrors, all with silver or gold-plated frames, which were quite expensive.

Even the soaps come in a variety of scents and are decorated in expensive gold or silver embossed boxes.

Prince Java was extremely satisfied.

The resentment I felt at the beginning was gone, and my face was full of reluctance when I left.

Compared with the Song Dynasty, their palace in Java is worse than ordinary people's residences, and the various furnishings and utensils are far inferior.

This time he bought a large number of high-quality products, and they were probably going to be displayed in the royal palace of the Java Kingdom to intimidate the leaders of the small tribes.

During this period, and even much later, the so-called Nanyang countries were just tribal alliances of various sizes.

……

Duan Jingzhu hurried all the way back to the outside of Yuncheng.

The core building complex of Liangshan is in Shijie Village.

Wang Lun didn't settle his family in Yuncheng County because he didn't want to bother.

The government offices of various departments also want to buy land, and they also have to pay the land price.

Including Wang Lun himself.

Only when a new dynasty is established in the future can land be expropriated, but the people must be compensated for the land expropriation.

The difference is that when buying land, you need to be thoughtful and considerate. If they don't sell it, there's nothing you can do about it.

After all, the land directly controlled by the government cannot be square and square, and fragmented land is not suitable for building government offices.

If there is a future imperial palace, the only option is to acquire land.

Even now, at least it has to be done according to the specifications of the Jiedushi, right?

Without a hundred acres of land, Wang Lun didn't even bother to put in the effort.

It's better to be in Shijie Village, next to the lake, with Liangshan Mountain in front of you.

We can’t forget where we started, and we can’t forget our origins.

The main reason is that during the Tenth Festival, the troops arrived at Yunzhou.

If any officers, soldiers or cavalry go crazy and rush over, you can always take a boat into the lake and go straight to Liangshan.

Apart from the top of Liangshan Mountain, this is the safest place.

Later, I got used to living there and became too lazy to move.

The construction department built a five-story mansion with dozens of rooms here.

Wang Lun, Li Shishi, Hu Sanniang, Xiao Pan, Cheng Wan'er, Hua Xiaomei, five sisters, plus two sons, one daughter and three children, a family of nine, including a cook, a gardener, a cook, and more than ten servants and twenty women More than fifty houses are enough for people to live in.

Not only is the room large, the decoration is also very well done according to Wang Lun's standards.

It is much more comfortable than the so-called mansions of this era.

For example, the Juyi Hall in front of you is tall and spacious, with double-sided glass windows. It allows you to see the scenery outside while brightly lighting up, and it can also keep you warm. It will not make you feel cold because of too many windows.

Wang Lun asked people to plant a lot of bamboo outside. The bamboo shadows swaying outside the window gave people a sense of tranquility, tranquility and freedom from the world.

Of course, every one of them in this house probably doesn’t have a few elegant bones in total.

Only Li Gang, Zongze and Qin Hui, a group of civil servants, praised Wang Lun's arrangements.

A large fireplace was built in the house, burning charcoal fire, and the large living room was as warm as spring.

There is a table in front of everyone, plus a small charcoal stove, on which a large portion of dog meat and mutton are stewed in a clay pot. The large pieces of meat are tumbling in the snow-white soup, and the aroma is overflowing, making people move their index fingers..

In addition to the meat in the casserole, there are also large pieces of beef that are as soft as snowflakes.

Of course, it is impossible to kill farm cattle. The hero's tactics will not work with Wang Lun.

The Agriculture Department regularly disposes of sick cows. No matter what the disease is, high temperature can cure all diseases...

So the cows we eat here are treated cows. Fortunately, the meat is still delicious.

Dog meat, beef, and mutton are all cut into large pieces and cooked soft and delicious.

With the addition of some large pieces of grilled meat skewers, the roasted pork skin turned golden brown and was still sizzling with oil...

Everyone ate with great satisfaction.

These hardworking people in the hall, cooking seafood, raw fish, stir-fried dishes...

It's really not as satisfying as eating a big piece of meat.

This is especially true for Lu Da and Wu Er.

With huge chunks of meat and fine wine, these guys are all dripping with juice, regardless of their image.

"Master, why is this wine so mellow? It tastes so good."

Wu Song finished six bowls in a row and was already a little drunk.

Wang Lun shook his head and smiled.

Of course he wouldn't say that these were the three bowls he found in Jingyanggang.

The wine was indeed brewed well. Wang Lun asked the shop owner for a long-term subscription. , I have saved dozens of altars over time.

I finally used them today.

"Each of you can drink up to nine bowls, don’t drink more!"

Wu Song reminded Wang Lun.

If these guys really eat eighteen bowls each, I'm afraid the Juyi Hall will be demolished!.
