Honglou, I became Jia Lian?Fortunately, there is a system!

Chapter 84 Happy to mention the killer whale team!

It only took two days and nights for Jia Lian and his party to travel down the Yangtze River in two building boats to the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Someone had already prepared three sharp-bottomed large ships and waited at the mouth of the sea. The group of people changed to large ships and continued to travel southward along the safe channel near the coastline.

The reason why he is so proficient is that Jia Lian has been focusing on water transport before. In the past six months, [Jia Lian's Legion] has successively purchased six sea-going ships of different sizes from various sea trade cities. Explore the safe route from Guangdong, Guangxi to Beijing and Tianjin along the coastline.

Of course, water transportation must be a huge trouble. 10,000+ water workers are connected in series, and now they even have the name of a water gang in the rivers and lakes.

Not to mention other officials, big and small, in the various local systems of water and land transportation, there is almost no related official who does not take some benefits from it.

It is conceivable how much resistance the water transport system will have.But Jia Lian had no better choice, because compared with other systems such as the military system and tax system, water transportation is already a soft persimmon!

Why do you have to pinch a "soft persimmon"?Without him, as the top noble family, the Rongguo Mansion and even the entire Jia family have not spoken out for too long!

If this continues, the Rongguo Mansion will really fall silent, at least in terms of momentum.

There is another reason, and that is the meeting with Lin Ruhai this time. Who knew that Lin Ruhai, who was raised with a noble and upright Confucianism, would actually be a diehard loyalist of Emperor Baode, and wanted to use the heritage accumulated by generations of the Lin family to become the emperor? Suppress the salt merchants in Jiangnan!
Isn't this death?

Jia Lian, as a traverser + reborn who understands the trend of the world of Red Mansions, even now that he is full-fledged, he naturally hates this feeling of "small things can be changed, but big things cannot be changed".

What is the general trend of the world of Red Mansions?Isn't it the inevitable decline of the Jia family?

It is absolutely impossible for Jia Lian, who has inherited the Rongguo Mansion, to let such a thing happen.That being the case, let's play a big game!
Besides, Jia Lian did not want to use the entire water transport system, using sea ships to transport grain and goods from Guangdong, Shanghai and other places to Jinmen by sea, and then from the Beijing-Tianjin area to the roadside towns in the north by land. Even by sea, it can be sent directly to the Liaodong Peninsula.

This kind of planning is of great benefit to both the country and the people. The Daqing court can save a lot of expenses, and the people on both sides of the canal can also be exempted from most of the corvee!

As for the backlash from the party whose interests have been harmed, the Rongguo Mansion can still bear it for now, and the Rongguo Mansion only needs to resist the pressure in the early stage!

The interests of river transport were indeed damaged, but Jia Lian did not intend to monopolize the newly emerging sea transport. He now has a total of six sea-going ships, large and small, and even if he wanted to occupy them all, he didn't have much appetite.

As long as the Rongguo Mansion withstands the pressure in the early stage, there will be countless people who want to eat meat later, but if you want to get a share of the pie, then at least you have to stand by the Rongguo Mansion when it comes to the water transport reform!
Once this matter is completed, the momentum of the Jia family will naturally rise again. Even if Emperor Baode wants to move the Jia family again, he will have to think more about it.

The most important thing is that this step is the starting point for Jia Lian's overseas layout. Otherwise, the Rongguo Mansion alone would be too weak to develop overseas, and the time needed would be extended indefinitely.

Of course, these are just follow-up plans. Jia Lian went to Jiangnan this time to inspect the development of various strongholds.

At present, it is indeed difficult to expand overseas, and the biggest difficulty is sea-going ships.

The group of literati in the middle and late Ming Dynasty did a lot of disgusting things, especially the literati who were born in the major families in the south of the Yangtze River. These people used almost all the accumulation of Zheng He's seven voyages to the West during the Yongle period for their own families to monopolize all the benefits of maritime trade. All burned!
Now [Jia Lian's Legion] can only use all kinds of soft and hard methods to poach people from the docks of the major families in the south of the Yangtze River. Even so, the efficiency is extremely low.

For the time being, Jia Lian can only take one step at a time, but in any case, the smallest goal of the north of Malacca must be achieved!

Shanghai was already a relatively large county at this time. According to its county annals, the population of the county at this time had exceeded 40. Coupled with the habitual behavior of hiding the population of the landlord and gentry class, the actual population was at least 50. .

In other words, Shanghai around 1750 A.D. already has great development value, and it is also the location of the largest stronghold of the [Jia Lian Legion] on the coastline.

At this point, Jia Lian has already been able to clearly perceive the location of the [Blue Dragon Jade], but thinking about the excellent role that group of black and white cute creatures will play in the exploration of safe routes in the future, Jia Lian still decides to go on the road. After supplying Shanghai, continue to sail in the direction of the killer whale group.

Next, Jia Lian and his party sailed south again on the sea for three days and two nights. In a certain sea area after crossing Zhoushan, they finally encountered this group of killer whales following the guidance!

When the three ships met the killer whale, the group of giant cute animals did not appear on the sea surface, which caused the three ships to turn around and follow for a certain distance under Jia Lian's guidance.

The group of killer whales on the other side also turned back under the dispatch of [Blue Dragon Jade], and finally surfaced from the bottom of the sea, surrounded the three ships of Jia Lian and his party.

The "hat" that just happened to be on Xing Xing's head sent an idea to it at close range: "Young man, go to the bow of the boat in the middle, your boss, I promise that your delicious food is there!"

Kazilan's big eyes lit up instantly, and a lot of saliva was produced in her mouth. These days, she was often tempted by the "hat" boss who used various gorgeous words to describe and decorate the food, and today she finally got her wish.

Its six or seven-meter-long body swished around the latter ship and came to Jia Lian who was standing on the bow of the middle sea ship. Its huge head was exposed from the sea, full of He opened his mouth in anticipation.

Everyone on the boat couldn't help being amazed that this huge black and white dolphin fish actually wore a hat with the color of blue on its head!
Jia Lian asked Zhang Dada beside him to lift up a few charcoal-grilled pork livers that he had prepared earlier, and threw them into the mouth of Xing Xing who was waiting with his mouth wide open under the bow.

wow~~

●____________●`
This fragrance, this taste, this... This is the peerless delicacy that the "hat" boss said!Sure enough, the "hat" boss didn't lie to me!
While savoring the delicious food in his mouth with his tongue, Xingxing couldn't help but burst into tears. What kind of things did I eat before.

"嘤嘤~" (I'm not full yet, come again!)

The huge killer whale's appetite is indeed amazing, and with the call of the stars, all the members of the killer whale group gathered together.

The thousands of catties of barbecue meat and roasted pork liver that Jia Lian had prepared before departure were quickly fed, and it seemed that they hadn't been fully fed yet.

The military rations have already tasted it, can you officially join the group next?

...
