God don't even try to stop me from doing infrastructure!

The terrain of Taixi is like a bag with a small mouth and a big belly, and that small mouth was the only port that used to be.Now what King Taixi wants is the ports on both sides, which means that this small bag has been opened a little bit, and there are more places for drying salt and doing business.

In fact, other countries have noticed that the high-grade salt in Taixi is cheap, but the two salt farms are completely controlled by the king's army, and the staff are restricted to a certain range for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and no flies can fly in.So they don't know the principle of this, they just vaguely heard the story of the son of God turning into salt, but they don't really believe in this kind of magic in their hearts, so they don't believe it.

In fact, what the envoys from various countries were most emotional was not the potatoes and salt, but the changes in Curry.

It's been a long time since I came here, and the city has changed again.The Curry people themselves may not feel it, but the foreign messengers looked at the clean Curry people in the street wearing decent cotton robes and surrounded by the scent of soap, watched them eat delicious food, and then discussed naturally A profound philosophical thought that had nothing to do with ordinary people like them.

The foreign messenger felt that he had been hit by a critical blow.

In their first year, the Currys were just poor people just coming out of starvation.

In the second year, Curry was an upstart showing off his wealth before his muddy legs were wiped clean.

When they came here this time, the Curry people no longer showed off, but their words and deeds revealed the grandeur and heritage of the proud people of a great country.As for the city of Curry, the combination of magnificent architecture and romantic humanistic feelings has become a dream city that cannot be ignored, like a pearl.

Why can these Curry people be so proud?

Because they have no worries about food and clothing, and because they are sick and healed.Stepped taxation and high-yield grain varieties ensure the survival of the common people, and they still have surplus grain to improve their lives.You can buy a cotton gown that is not dyed and slightly flawed, you can buy some soy sauce, salt and oil, you can use a little cheap facial cleanser that is said to be made of soybean oil, you can go to a theater with your family to feel the charm of the performance, and even have a chance Selected to study skills at the school opened by Miko.

The Curry people were too proud, and the messenger felt sad, but couldn't say sour words.

Curry can be proud, they have this qualification.

The Curry people are indeed proud, but what Yunze wants is not just that the Curry people can be proud, he wants people from other places and other cities to be proud too.

In Green Cloud City, the subordinate city of Yunze, the Eight Diagrams water system is being built and laid, and almost all the tax revenue has been put into it. In order for the people of Green Cloud City to use 'tap water', he also worked hard.Spring City, which Brother Meinis is in charge of, is the third to repair the water system, but he is not following the model of underground channels, but the model of "small bridges and flowing water around people", that is, opening rivers.

But whether it is Yunze or Menis' brother Augustus, they all choose to repair the water supply system and the road at the same time. This is really expensive, and it costs money to build bridges and roads.

It was because it cost too much money. Although many city owners looked at Curry's water supply system with envy, they did not follow up.They know in their hearts that the repair of the water supply system will have great benefits in combating drought and flooding, and it will facilitate irrigation of the farmland, which will also help agriculture.But it is really not easy to directly abandon three years of taxes to repair the water supply system.

It is really against the nature of human beings to make a person do this kind of 'altruistic' behavior.

So in the end, some city owners learned from Curry and Green Cloud City to renovate the roadside, plant upside trees on both sides, and then carry out urban sanitation and repair public toilets in the city-not to mention, the sanitation of Curry The conditions are really good, and the air is fresher than other places.Repairing public toilets can also collect fermented fertilizers, killing two birds with one stone.

In fact, the whole country of Taixi is now building roads if conditions permit.This is the king's order, not for the convenience of pedestrians, but for the quick delivery of salt.

The money earned by delivering one cart of salt a day is completely different from sending two carts of salt a day.There is a huge shortage of salt in Taixi, and now only these two places produce salt, and the salt is not saturated at all, so the faster the salt is transported, the more money will be made.

In order to transport salt, many major roads are being repaired (there is no condition for repairing small roads), bridges will be built in some blocked places, and a row of road trees will be added habitually after the repairs are completed. I think it is so beautiful.

The so-called climate of a great country is achieved through this bit of improvement.In a few years, Taixi should be able to take off the hat of the nouveau riche power on his head. Although, Taixi seems to be still an upstart at the top.This nouveau riche can be fully reflected in the matter of 'giving gifts'.

Isn't Yunze going to the Northern Kingdom to watch the new king of the Northern Kingdom ascend the throne?Out of courtesy, he felt that he could bring some congratulatory gifts. In addition to the regular congratulatory gifts, he prepared another thing, which was a set of black lacquer carved and inlaid mother-of-pearl wardrobes that looked pretty good.

When the king saw it, wouldn't it be a waste to give such a good thing to someone who didn't know the goods?Thinking that Yunze can send some gold jewelry, that's how they used to give.Then the congratulatory gift from the royal family was indeed a bunch of gold jewelry that looked particularly upstart.

Yunze: ...

It took Yunze a long time to explain clearly that the most expensive part of this set of furniture is labor, and the materials are not bad.The shiny black thing is a special kind of resin (lacquer), the shiny mother-of-pearl is the nacre of the inner layer of the large shell, the glue used is deep-sea fish swim bladder glue, and the amount of thin gold and silver threads is extremely low.Therefore, the material is not so valuable, but the craft and design are valuable.

He has already planted a batch of that special tree on the mountain bag, and the lacquer can be picked in a few years. By then, His Majesty can make as many sets of this kind of mother-of-pearl furniture as he wants.

His Majesty the King was appeased, and reluctantly agreed.

On the other side, news came from the port that a one-to-one big ship has been prepared.

All the manpower in the port was invested in the construction of the dock, and then excellent craftsmen from all over the country came to assist, the official provided the best bronze tools and uniform measurements, ready-made high-quality wood, the best ship repair craftsmen in the country, all resources were given priority to use, and a full set Blueprints and mock-ups, if they can't make a ship, they should kill themselves.

The seaside navy has already driven the boat for a circle, with two sets of steering panels, two mainsails and four jibsails used together, it can move flexibly, and can carry a crew of a hundred people, and it is stable, and can carry several tons of cargo...

For the Navy, this ship is simply a peerless beauty.They couldn't bear to disembark at all, and wished they could live on it with their arms around the mast.

"No! No one can separate me from her, she is the goddess of my dreams!"

It's a pity that beauty is indistinguishable. The cost of this ship is too expensive. All the high-quality shipbuilding wood is used, which is saved by the king for the tomb. It has been saved for more than ten years. There is no insect bite, and it is naturally dried. years old wood.If he wants to build a second ship, His Majesty the King may have to save wood for more than ten years.

In addition, a lot of moisture-proof and moth-proof materials are used, and the stock is almost used up.

Therefore, at least within a few years, it will be impossible to build another large ship of this size.

But Taixi's boatmen were not stupid enough to just copy them.After modifying the ship, they began to renovate the existing ship, especially the sails on the top, which should be replaced with sails that can change direction flexibly.The pattern of the internal keel of this large ship also provided inspiration for the craftsmen, who tried to strengthen the hull structure in this way.

The modified sailboat was fast and stable, and the steering was more flexible. The sailors were very happy and drove the sailboat out for several laps.

At this time, it was more than three months before the new king of the Northern Kingdom was enthroned.

Yunze and others went down the river all the way, and he took a small boat, accompanied by many congratulatory gifts.Many people on the boat couldn't bear it because of the bumping of the boat. They all lay on the bow of the boat and vomited, but Yunze stood firmly on the board of the boat, holding a telescope to look at the gradually brightening sky in the distance.

"The port is coming. There seem to be more people here than before." The sky is not completely bright yet, and there are already many people in the port city. They don't look like farmers, are they private businessmen who come to buy salt?

Buy some cheap salt from the origin of the salt, and then sell it in remote villages to earn some hard money. They are small salt merchants.

The wind blew his long hair and thin cloak, and the thin gold bracelets on his wrists reflected the faint light.

"Has your Highness grown taller?" Menis asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Yunze gestured at the heights of him and Menis with his hands, "Is there any?"

"Or maybe it's because His Highness has lost weight? You don't have much appetite these days. I've already asked someone to prepare some that you like. This time, I also sent a lot of live livestock and fresh fruits and vegetables. You can't just eat seafood at sea, right?" .” Speaking of this, Menis smiled again: “Fortunately, there is a big ship of His Highness, and ordinary sea ships may not be able to hold so many things.”

For this trip, besides Yunze's own big ship, there were six escorting boats, more than 300 soldiers, and some cooks, maids, kabuki and entertainers.But more are all kinds of high-quality delicacies sent from various places. Livestock such as cattle, sheep and pigs are all live and will be raised in the cabin on the third floor in the future.There are also many grains, fruits and vegetables, wine, seasonings and wood.

Yunze's personal items and all kinds of medicines that may be needed are also brought.

They were afraid that something would be uncomfortable on the way to Shenzi, and they wished that the boat would be twice as big, so that it could hold enough things.

The bottom layer can be ballasted with fresh water, which is several tons, and as long as it is used up, it will be enough to replenish.

At this time, Yunze felt that he might be the legendary Princess and the Pea.Is it serious to bring live livestock in case he is not used to pickled food?

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to plant some drought-resistant vegetables on the boat deck than to bring live livestock?Then Yunze really mentioned that you can use the washed water (no detergent) to water the vegetables and grow some Chinese cabbage.This weather is just right for growing Chinese cabbage.

Hearing this request, the captain’s expression was indescribable. If Yunze was not the son of God, the captain of the navy would want to send him down, and don’t ruin his dream goddess (ship) with mud.But because Yunze is the son of God and the owner of the ship, the captain could only pinch his nose and admit it, but secretly felt sorry for the goddess in his heart.

Thinking positively, growing vegetables...what's so interesting about growing vegetables? !

"Growing vegetables can make full use of fresh water resources." Seeing the captain's depression, Yun Ze knew that he was a boat fanatic and really loved boats, so he explained.

"Fresh vegetables are rich in vitamins. Many crew members are prone to vitamin deficiency after being at sea for too long, such as bleeding gums, bone lesions... Oh, it's what you call the crew's disease. This is caused by a lack of vitamins. This time I brought a lot of lemons. And citrus, just for that. Greens are good for relief too, and with all the time on board, you're going to want some fresh veggies, right?"

After hearing Yunze's words, the official's face became flustered.He didn't expect Yunze to explain patiently instead of losing his temper after seeing his dissatisfaction.

And he didn't expect to bring so many lemons and oranges this time, not because Yunze liked it, but because the crew needed it.Even planting vegetables is for the consideration of the crew.As a veteran in the Navy, he has always known about crew sickness, even experienced it himself.If you travel short distances, it is not afraid.But long-distance travel is easy, and I didn't expect lemons, citrus, and fresh vegetables to heal.

At the same time ashamed, another emotion surged up: This is... our son of God, Taixi.

It's hard to describe, but I feel quite proud, this is our Taixi.

No wonder everyone along the way, from the king to Prince Sham, from Prince Sham to his friend’s eldest son Bayi, said, “Protect the Son of God, and don’t let people with malicious intentions approach him.”

He was once surprised that Shenzi was an adult man, and it was said that he had always managed his subordinate cities and departments very well, and was an extremely capable person.Such a very capable man, why should he be so carefully protected?

Now he understands, it's not that Shenzi is stupid or others worry too much, but it's really... After getting in touch with him, he can't help worrying about being deceived by others.

It's not because this person is weak and easy to bully, but because he can't help but have a lot of good feelings for him, so he will be extra worried.
