Chapter 220 Expansion of the Port
When Jiang Yushan saw Jing Yan, he bent down and wanted to worship, but Jing Yan supported him: "Brother, don't be too polite, let's talk in the room!"
Jiang Yushan led the way, and everyone talked while walking.
Wuming said: "The master is here. If you don't come, the subordinates will look for you."
Jing Yan smiled in his eyes: "Why, do you think it's too leisurely?"
Wuming rubbed the back of his head: "That's not true." He paused and said, "I've been idle for a long time, it's actually quite uncomfortable." As soon as the words came out, everyone laughed.
Yan Shushen was embroidering in the back hall, when she heard the servant girl report that His Majesty and His Royal Highness had arrived.
She was so shocked that a needle stuck in her finger, and she let out a cry of pain.However, I don't care about such small things now.
He hurriedly got up and straightened his clothes, and took the maid to welcome him out.
As soon as he walked to the Moon Cave Gate, he saw her husband leading a pair of outstanding young men and women coming over.
There is a red lotus on the woman's forehead, which bears the beauty of the country and the fragrance of heaven.
There was still a baby in her arms, presumably she was the queen's younger sister whom her husband's family had never met.
So I tidied up my clothes and expressions, and went forward to salute: "My wife, see Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and Your Highness the Crown Prince. I have seen Divine Doctor Qiu!"
Jiang Yuqing held the child in one hand, and supported her in the other: "Sister-in-law Liu doesn't need to be too polite, as a family, just be more casual in the future!"
Jiang Yushan also said: "My sister is very easy-going, so you can rest assured."
A party went into the inner hall.Yan ordered the servant girl to bring tea and snacks, and they sat down and talked together.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mrs. Yan hurried to the back hall to arrange a yard for everyone.
Fortunately, the backyard of the Xiajiang County Government is not small, there are five small courtyards.
It is more than enough to arrange two courtyards for Jiang Yuqing and the others alone.
This is due to the bastard chief of Xia Jiangdao during the Ligu Dynasty.
That fellow is extremely lecherous, and he raised a whole yard of beauties with the money he scavenged.
Because there were too many women to live in, the yard was kept expanding, and as a result, the yard was expanded to its current scale.
After all the people were settled, Yan went to ask her husband what the empress and His Majesty like to eat so that she could arrange the cooking in the kitchen.
Jiang Yushan said, my sister and His Majesty are not picky eaters, just be rich and not waste.
It's just that the little nephew, just now, my sister told me to make him a bowl of custard, the little guy loves it.
Yan Shi said hello and went to the kitchen.
Lunch is still mainly seafood.
Jing Yan mixed rice with custard, and fed him a whole bowl from Yiyi's special bowl.
But Jiang Yushan was so rare that he said: "Little sister, Yiyi can still eat better than when you were young!"
Jiang Yuqing was extremely proud: "No, I was still breastfeeding when I was his age, and he has been weaned. Now I don't need to eat too much."
Yan Shi was immediately surprised: "Your Highness has been weaned at such a young age?"
Jiang Yuqing smiled and said: "It's not young, he's already ten months old.
In fact, the nutrients in breast milk will gradually decrease after ten months, and gradually cannot meet the needs of the child's growth.At this time, supplementary food needs to be added.
I thought the little guy could eat, so I just weaned him from breast milk.It is also great to feed some milk in the mother's day. "
Of course, she didn't have the nerve to say that another reason was the result of a certain domineering guy protesting in her ear every day because he simply didn't want his son to take up his benefits.
Yan's naturally believed in the words of Jiang Yuqing, the genius doctor's younger sister.
Thinking about the little nephew of my natal family who is more than two years old and still cuddling in the arms of the nanny, I can't help thinking.
After eating, Jiang Yuqing went back to the house to rest.Doctor Qiu continued to tinker with the herbs he picked on the road.
Jing Yan went to Qianya to discuss matters with Jiang Yushan.
The little guy asked his six uncles to go to the front office together.
It's strange to say, but little Douding is just a little bit big, every time his father takes him to discuss political affairs with others, and the conversation lasts for a long time, he doesn't cry or make trouble.
Such a boring thing, even Jiang Yuqing would fall asleep after listening to a few more words, but he listened with gusto even though he was so small.
Even Jing Yan, who is usually serious and indifferent, couldn't help smiling when he mentioned his son.Said, this kid is a born emperor.
The next day, Jing Yan summoned the prefect of Lidong, his co-prefects, and related personnel to discuss matters in the neighboring Lidong county government office two days later.
Therefore, on the tenth day of September, the magistrate and Tongzhi of Lidong Prefecture, together with the magistrate of Lidong County and Jiang Yushan, gathered in Lidong County Yamen for a small court meeting.
The topic of discussion was about the expansion of Lidong Port.
The port of Lidong Mansion is in Lidong County, next to the Xiajiang River, which is a rare deep-water port.
Jing Yan said that next year the imperial court plans to further expand and repair the dilapidated seaports of Linan Mansion and Lidong Mansion, which were left over from the original Ligu Dynasty.
It is used to strengthen the economic and trade exchanges between "Lisanfu" and the southeastern coastal and inland areas of Daxia.
After the expansion of the seaport is completed, the high-quality specialty products of "Lisanfu" can be directly transported to the southeast coast by boat through the port.
Or go directly upstream through the estuaries of major rivers and enter the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Similarly, high-quality agricultural products, silk porcelain and other cultures in the Central Plains can also be quickly imported into "Lisanfu" by sea.
In this way, it not only saves time and effort, but also greatly reduces the shipping cost, enabling the further circulation of goods between the north and the south.
Because it takes a lot of money to rebuild the two harbors.
Before going to Libei Mansion, Jing Yan would have to hesitate again and again to make this decision.
Now that he has the batch of treasures from King Liju as a base, he can do it freely.
In fact, after getting these treasures, Jing Yan told Jiang Yuqing about his plan.
Jiang Yuqing agreed with this.She still said that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.The construction of maritime trade routes is also essential.
Now that there is an outlet to the sea, of course, the establishment of the "Market Ship Division" is also indispensable, and its chief officer has become particularly important.
This year is Jiang Yushan's second year as county magistrate in Xiajiang.
Jing Yan planned to wait for his three-year term to expire before transferring him to Lidonggang to serve as the director of the Department of Shipping of Lidonggang.
This is an official position from the fifth rank, Jiang Yushan thanked him immediately, expressing that he would never fail the holy grace.The other officials are also very envious.
Although he has a background, it is undeniable that his own ability is placed there, and he cannot be jealous.
Jing Yan made this decision after careful consideration.
The Shibo Department is a fat and oily department. If someone else is the chief officer, seeing such a large amount of money flowing every day, it will inevitably not be swayed after a long time.
At that time, instead of raising a bunch of moths to make others cheaper, it would be better to let the Jiang family sit in this position.
At least they are pure-minded, neither corrupt nor corrupt, and only serve the common people.
After the meeting, in the afternoon, Jing Yan and Jiang Yuqing, accompanied by officials, went to Lidong Port for inspection.
At this time, in the dilapidated port, there were long queues of ships waiting to dock and unload their cargo.
Merchants from all over the country complained that the port was too broken, broken and small.
When will the imperial court repair this port.A few more berths would be nice.
Passengers coming and going from south to north on the wharf, laborers carrying bags, and vendors setting up stalls to sell things and yelling, there are people coming and going, which is very lively.
Jiang Yuqing asked Lidong county magistrate to bring the map, and gave his own opinions and suggestions based on the docks he had seen in his previous life.
During the expansion, in addition to adding corresponding berths, the supporting infrastructure also needs to be improved.
For example, a large warehousing and logistics center is essential.
In addition, a commercial block will be set up, which will cover all aspects of clothing, food, housing, transportation, etc., so as to better serve the merchants who come and go here.
These two items alone can add nearly tens of thousands of jobs.
Of course, the Ministry of Industry needs to send professional personnel to inspect the details before making detailed plans.
Seeing the eager eyes of the officials, a cold light flashed in Jing Yan's eyes.
Just put it straight, don't think about buying land around here now and waiting for the appreciation to reap the benefits.
These land countries will unify the planning and planning of the city shipping department, and after the specific planning is completed, they will conduct unified bidding for the society.
As soon as these words came out, the backs of the officials who thought it would be profitable suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
If you think carefully in front of the emperor, it is really the lard that has deceived your heart.
Although today is benevolent, it has never been soft when dealing with corrupt officials.
After being beaten this time, all the officials rested their minds.
After the meeting concluded, Jing Yan sent a letter to the capital.Let the Ministry of Industry dispatch suitable personnel as soon as possible to inspect the ports in Linan and Lidong provinces.
By the end of this year at the latest, he will see the detailed planning drawings.
On the second day after returning to Xiajiang, guests came to the house.
It is Jiang Yushan's father-in-law's family.
When Yan Xuezheng heard that His Majesty and His Majesty were coming, he hurried over with the whole family.
One is to meet this incomparably noble in-laws, and the other is to thank them for saving their son's life.
Jiang Yuqing is easy-going and has no airs, so the two sides talked very happily.
During the meal, Jiang Yushan's eldest brother-in-law, the eldest son of the Yan family, saw the empress feeding the crown prince herself.
And Yiyi also ate big mouthfuls, and the food was delicious.After I was full, I sat on a chair beside me and played with toys without crying or making trouble.
Looking back, I looked at my naughty son who was over two years old and was still pestering the nanny, making a fuss about wanting to be nursed.
The eldest brother of the Yan family's face flushed with embarrassment, so he gave his wife a hard look.
The sister-in-law of the Yan family also saw the gap between her son and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Obviously, His Highness is much younger than his own son, yet he is so free and easy.
In the past, her husband asked her to wean her son, but she always used the excuse that the child was still young.The mother-in-law also said similar things, but she bypassed them with various reasons.
She always thought about her son, Jinggui, what would happen if he had two more years of milk, she was willing to pamper her.
Now I saw the behavior of the only noble highness in the world, and saw her husband scolding her eyes.
Her small thoughts instantly collapsed, her face flushed with shame, and she was sitting on pins and needles.
No matter how noble her son is, can he be more noble than the crown prince?
Therefore, when she left her younger sister's house, the sister-in-law of the Yan family almost fled with her son.
On the carriage back to Fucheng, Brother Yan once again brought up the matter of weaning his son, this time the sister-in-law of the Yan family finally did not object any more.
