Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Second
Previously, Quanzhou came quickly and said that the navy was about to carry 300,000 stones of grain to the entrance of Lianjiang County. Sun Yu, who received the news, immediately put down everything and led his troops here to wait. He stood on the big stone on the shore, kept raising his telescope and checked carefully.
With 300,000 stones of grain, all the problems will be solved. Not to mention blowing the wind, Sun Yu can wait even if it falls snow.
"Evil dog, you look, haha!" Two large ships appeared in Sun Yu's telescope, and their size and sails were the latest warships.
"Marty, really, really arrived." The evil dog was also very excited. He knew the significance of this batch of food. His marquis couldn't sleep well for many days because of this.
"Haha, God bless my loyal and brave army." Sun Yu smiled to the sky. With this batch of food, he would not cause trouble for Nanyue, even if they burned high incense.
The navy flagship slowly landed. Song Wumian and Chen He had long seen Sun Yu standing on the shore from the telescope. As soon as the ship was leaning firmly, the two couldn't wait to set up the ladder and turned over and down.
"I have met the Marquis!" The two of them knelt on one knee and saluted Sun Yu who was welcomed.
"Get up quickly, get up quickly. I have been looking forward to this day for a long time, and you are finally here." Sun Yu was overjoyed and stepped forward and stretched out his hands, one hand and pulled them up.
"Thank you, Marquis!" Song Wumian and Chen He took advantage of their strength.
"All the 300,000 stones of food have arrived?" Sun Yu looked at the big ships with very deep water. There should be no problem, but he still couldn't help asking. Only by getting a clear answer can he feel at ease.
"Don't worry, 300,000 stones of grain will arrive, there will be no problem." Song Wumian replied with his fist. The food in the ship had never left his and Chen He's sight. The food loaded in Quanzhou was also personally inspected, and all of them were excellent rice.
"Okay! OK! The navy captain Song Wumian obeyed the order!" Sun Yu was so excited that he rubbed his hands. Not only did he bring back the lot of food and property from the Southeast Asian countries, but he also arrived here in time, reducing too much trouble for him. This matter must be rewarded and rewarded heavily.
"I am in a humble position!" Song Wumian was overjoyed. He was so anxious that he knelt on one knee.
"From now on, Song Wumian will be the navy's cavalry general." Sun Yu directly promoted him two levels in a row, comparable to Cheng Zhenbei, but after finishing his work, Cheng Zhenbei and the others had to move upwards.
"That's the last, the last will thank the marquis!" Song Wumian was very excited. This title could finally be changed.
"The deputy lieutenant Chen He of the Navy should obey the order!" Sun Yu looked at Chen He with envious face. This cannot be favored by one or the other. It is all due to his hard work.
"I'm humble!" Chen He also knelt on one knee.
"From now on, I will be promoted to a guerrilla general of the Navy and strive to achieve another great achievement!" Sun Yu patted Chen He on the shoulder. Today, Chen He is less arrogant and more calm than before, and he will become a great man in the future.
Chen He was relieved to be promoted twice in a row and finally became a general.
"There are rewards from all the Navy divisions. When you go back, just bring the rewards up!" Sun Yu was so proud that he brought back so much food, so he should have a lot of money and some surplus food in his pocket.
"The last general will thank the marquis for the rewards on behalf of the brothers below!"
"Mr., I will think
The fleet should be divided into two parts. Large ships cannot enter the Minjiang River, so they can unload the goods directly here. Small ships that can enter the Minjiang River will go north by wind power and transport them to Fuzhou." Chen He suggested looking at the fleet on the sea.
"If you don't bother the two masters in one matter, just unload 80,000 shi of grain here and transport it to Lianjiang County. If you arrange a small boat to transport the remaining 220,000 shi of grain, you can arrange a small boat to transport it to Fuzhou in batches." It is difficult to travel from Fuzhou here and it is inconvenient to transport it. It is still convenient to come from the water surface, which can save manpower.
"Don't worry, Mr. Marquis, this matter is for us." Song Wumian was proud of his youth. Such a small matter is not worth mentioning.
When a truckload of grain arrived in Lianjiang County, men, women, young and old all came out to watch, and now they could really survive. When there was no food in the past, Sun Yu had no choice but to give porridge. Now that he had to use food, he would have to follow the old path of labor-for-relief.
He handed over the task of stationing in Lianjiang County to Chen Qiba, rushed to Fuzhou directly, and worked with Xu Yi and Lu Qian to establish a complete system.
At this time, Xu Yi was standing on the dock with his legs limping, organizing people to carry food. All the garrisons in the city were launched, and no matter whether they were using vehicles or manpower, they had to put the food into the warehouse as soon as possible.
"Mr. Xu, the official has seen what it means to love the people as much as his son. He actually gave such good food to the people." Lu Qian picked up the rice scattered on the ground, pinched it hard, and put the rice grains into his mouth and chewed it carefully. It was the best rice, and it was all new this year. The people of Fuzhou are blessed.
"Master Lu, don't you think this food will be distributed to the people for free, right?" Xu Yi felt that his marquis was indeed good to the people, but he never distributed it for free, as it would only breed laziness. Under the marquis' rule, if you want to live a good life, you have to work hard and work hard to get rich.
"When the people are suffering from disaster, how can I buy the silver?" Lu Qian was puzzled. If this were sold, many people would probably starve to death. Luo Jixing had collected it heavily before, so naturally he would not let the silver money go.
"When working, whether it is building bridges, building roads, or cleaning canals, you can get rice and food as long as you go to work. As for those who are unwilling to work hard, you have to pay." Xu Yi knew Sun Yu's methods very well and would never let people be idle.
"If this is the case, can the grain be able to be?" Lu Qian calculated that the food can be collected by drinking porridge next year. If he works, he has to eat it, and the food is less.
"The Marquis has his own way. This is not what we should consider. What we need to do is to arrange these projects according to needs and start construction as soon as possible." Xu Yi knew that the man must have planned that he would never let everyone drink porridge until next year because of food shortage.
"Mr. Xu, the Marquis is here!" The follower pointed at a pair of cavalry in the distance, and the leader was Sun Yu, the Marquis of Zhenhai.
"Look, here you come! Let's go and welcome him." Xu Yi limped towards Sun Yu's direction.
Lu Qian, who was originally despised by the other party because of the disability, sorted out his mind. He really understood the Zhenhai Hou.
After turning over and dismounting, Sun Yu became much more energetic. With food as a base, he became much more tough.
"Mr. Xu, are you satisfied with this food?" I remember that when Xu Yi came out, he complained all over. Now it was solved and he should go back.
"Satisfied, of course I'm satisfied, I'm enough to drink porridge." Xu Yi smiled slightly, and had to point out this matter. Don't mess around all day long, and have to take it easy.
"Well, what does it mean to drink enough porridge? I will naturally raise some more things later." Unexpectedly, Mr. Xu is so disrespectful. Oh, can't we brag about each other? Where have you civil officials' decency gone?
"Mr. Marquis, my subordinates know that you are here and you must have something to do. Are you planning to build a bridge or build a road?" Xu Yi smiled. His marquis likes to make trouble the most. He wants to live a leisurely life and can only find another place.
"I think so. I plan to build a bridge on the Minjiang tributary outside Fuzhou City to connect Fuzhou City and Jiangxinzhou. This bridge must be able to accommodate two four-wheeled carriages in parallel and have sufficient bearing capacity." Sun Yu planned to make out the reinforced concrete stone pillars. Although they did not meet the standards of later generations, they would be absolutely awesome in this era.
"The deepest part is about two feet, Marquis, this is not easy to get down." The most difficult thing about building this bridge is the piers. With such deep water, how can we lay the piers firmly? This is a difficult problem.
"It's okay, the bridge pier will be thought of. What you need to do is to organize manpower and build all the roads on both sides of the bridge. In the future, Quanzhou will only be able to go through a ferry. On the Dazhang River, the official must build a bridge, and be sure to keep the horse and carriages unobstructed." Sun Yu was short of food this time, and he suffered a bad road, otherwise even if the navy was not there, it would not be so difficult.
The main task of the navy and merchant ships is to go to Southeast Asia to obtain trade benefits. It is impossible for them to be stationed in Quanzhou for a long time to provide logistics support for the army.
"Marty, as long as the food can keep up, this is not a problem." Now in Fuzhou, as long as you can take out the food, some people are willing to give you the effort, and there is not much farming to do.
"What I expect is to build a four-wheeled carriage that can be built side by side, from Zhangzhou, through Jingjiang, Quanzhou, Putian, Fuqing, and finally arrive in Fuzhou. The roadbed is composed of gravel, and the road surface is covered with fine sand and cement. Even if it rains heavily, the carriage can move quickly." Sun Yu completely told his thoughts, and immediately scared the two people on the other side. This person is too troubling. If this road is really repaired according to this standard, it will definitely be the best in the world.
Once this road is completed, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and Fuzhou are integrated into one, and the carriage can reach Zhangzhou from Fuzhou in two days. Such a great transportation efficiency is enough to make the loyal and brave army explode with huge combat power here.
"Mr. Marquis, do we have so many assets? The pensions and silver rewards have not yet been settled. I owed 40% of the military pay before. It's almost the end of the year. We should give the soldiers an explanation." When Xu Yi thought of such a large project, if it was not successful, it would bring much convenience and strength. His first reaction was whether such a large project would drag them down.
Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, if the Grand Canal had not been built, it would have cost the people and suffered money, the Sui Dynasty would not have died in the second lifetime. Objectively speaking, the construction of the Grand Canal greatly promoted material exchanges between the north and the south, and prospered both sides of the canal. If there was no Grand Canal, the Zhenguan rule would be nothing more than a mirror and a water moon.
