I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Luo Shixing's face became serious in an instant, and Cheng Jingwei who was beside him also put away his thoughts of teasing the little lynx.

After the two of them got serious, Wang Sui felt that the weird atmosphere before was gone, and felt a little strange in his heart, but because he had business to deal with, he didn't think much about it.

Luo Shixing took over the account book from Wang Yan, and now Jiaozhou's accounts are all recorded in Arabic numerals, which looks very clear at first glance.

As for whether there were any omissions in the middle, Luo Shixing himself turned a blind eye anyway, and he had a thread in his heart, as long as it wasn't too much, these people could do whatever they wanted.

He glanced at it and found that the recent expenditures are indeed a lot. After all, infrastructure construction is really costly, and this is not what Luo Shixing said he could save if he wanted to.

And now Jiaozhou's economic pillar... Laughing dead, there is no such thing.

Everything is based on taxation and internal circulation, and a large part of taxation and internal circulation is contributed by Beidai County.

But the problem is that the internal circulation needs money to be able to circulate. Everyone is so poor that they are not willing to buy things. Where can the internal circulation go?

And if you want internal circulation, you must open a business if you want to have money, otherwise it will definitely not work if you let Jiaozhou develop like this.

Luo Shixing never expected that he would have a day to worry about money, so he put the ledger on the desk and sighed, "I have to think of a way first, oh, by the way, I asked to investigate the specialties of Jiaozhou and so on, and it was all done." ?"

In fact, he has been preparing to find a way to open up business, even if he didn't realize that the state capital is short of money, he wants everyone to live a good life, right?

The problem now is that building roads requires money, and if you can’t make money, you won’t have the money to build roads. However, the transportation to the outside world is inconvenient and you can’t make money.

Wang Sui seemed to have known that Luo Shixing would ask such a question, and immediately took out a document and handed it over.

Luo Shixing looked through it and found that there was nothing that could be turned into a geographical domain card, and even if there was, it was the kind that was not easy to preserve.

As for the special food... not everyone can accept it, and it is not easy to spread the food.

Luo Shixing turned his head to look at the topographic map of Jiaozhou on the side, and after looking carefully, he suddenly found a very important thing: They are on the coast of Jiaozhou!

He couldn't help but patted his head and said, "Hey, why did I forget such an important thing."

I have lived in Beidai County for a long time before, and I always subconsciously think that Jiaozhou is inland. Although I think about it seriously, I can remember that there is a sea, but when I really think about development, I always ignore this matter. Of course, it is because no one else has mentioned it. So Luo Shixing always ignored it.

Both Wang Sui and Cheng Jingwei looked at him with some doubts, and Cheng Jingwei approached him and asked, "What did you forget?"

Luo Shixing drew a circle on the coast and said, "Isn't this a ready-made cornucopia?"

Wang Sui looked at it, and said with some uncertainty: "This place is not fertile enough, and there are few people, so I'm afraid it's not good enough."

What Wang Sui said was a bit euphemistic. Most of the seaside are fishing villages, and the life of the people in the fishing villages is not as good as inland.

The inland people can farm land anyway, and there are more water areas here, with well-developed water resources and good fishery resources, and fishing is not as dangerous as it is at sea.

So there are very few people there, especially since Jiaozhou recently had preferential policies for land reclamation, many fishermen simply ran back to the inland.

Luo Shixing raised his eyebrows and said, "Where there is sea, there is salt. Sea salt is easy to get, much easier than well salt, and the output is even larger."

Well salt is very picky about the location. Not every place has brine. Even if brine is detected, whether it is suitable for drilling wells is one thing.

Although sea salt also requires a salt factory, the overall operation is much easier than well salt.

Wang Sui hesitated to speak, while Cheng Jingwei said, "The quality of sea salt is not good enough, so it's not easy to sell."

The sea salt at this time is inferior to well salt in terms of purity and fineness. Generally, it is made by the poor to pickle, and most of the cooking is still done with well salt. important strategic material.

Of course Luo Shixing knew that seawater contained a lot of impurities, and many heavy metals needed to be removed before pure sea salt could be produced.

He smiled and said, "Isn't the quality not good enough to be purified?"

Cheng Jingwei's eyes flashed: "Do you have a solution?"

Luo Shixing said: "If there is no other way, I won't say it, but the focus now is to choose a suitable place, not only to dry the salt, but also to have a port."

Shipbuilding and road repair are actually not easy, but it is easier to take the sea route, because the sea does not need maintenance, and the land route will be worn out, especially in the event of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the only road may be broken .

Moreover, the construction period of the land road is very long, so it is better to build a ship!

Luo Shixing couldn't help rubbing his hands when he thought about it. Before, he was only focused on letting the people farm the land, so he forgot about it, but it's not too late now.

Seeing his bright eyes, Cheng Jingwei obviously got a little excited because he thought of a good solution.

Such Luo Shixing made him unable to restrain himself from wanting to kiss him, but there was Wang Yan next to him, so he could only squeeze his palm hard to restrain his impulse and said, "You say the conditions, and then I'll send someone to look for them. Go and have a look."

Luo Shixing thought about it carefully, picked up a pen and wrote while saying: "First of all, we need a place where the sea area is calmer. The bay is the best."

The depth of the water means that it can sail large cargo ships. Of course, cargo ships these days may not have a draft that is too deep, but who knows what it will look like in the future?

We can’t just focus on infrastructure construction, use it for more than 20 or [-] years, and then find that it is not suitable and need to re-select the site. Isn’t that a joke?

The bay is naturally protected from strong winds and waves, which is beneficial to sailing and docking.

However, Luo Shixing could only think of these things for the time being, and if it was really suitable, he would have to conduct on-the-spot investigations.

Cheng Jingwei took the paper and nodded, "I'll send someone there."

Luo Shixing turned his head to look at Wang Sui and said, "If you really want to build a port, then the state capital needs to set up another...uh...similar to the transshipment envoy."

When he was talking, he suddenly remembered that the maritime affairs of the Tang Dynasty were gradually developed in the later period, and there was not even an independent maritime agency in the later period, but there were independent agencies for water transport and land transport.

Of course, water transportation is the world now, and sea transportation is not so developed. This is also related to the location of the economic center of gravity.

Although the imperial court has a maritime agency, it still governs the country. Frankly speaking, it only controls a few ports, so there is no intention of setting up a special maritime agency in the local area.

If Luo Shixing and the others wanted to build a port, they would definitely need the approval of the imperial court, and the geographical location of Jiaozhou... I guess most people are not optimistic about it, and it is not easy to get their nod.

The imperial court did not nod. He opened a port and set up a maritime agency privately, which is no different from establishing himself as a king. At that time, we will wait for Wu Zhao to deal with him.

When Wu Zhao trusts a person, he adheres to the principle of using people without suspicion, but she trusts you so much. If you make behaviors that seem to be betrayal later, you can wash your neck and kill yourself. Have fun.

Wang Sui also thought of this, and said helplessly: "Let's put the matter of the port aside, it's better to get salt first."

Luo Shixing rubbed his chin and said, "You still have to choose a location, and you need a relatively gentle place with well-developed traffic for drying salt."

Seeing that he was distressed, Cheng Jingwei patted his head and said, "I'll send someone to select the site first, and then I'll get the sea salt issue in order. The construction of the port won't work in the short term. It needs multiple considerations. Why don't you think about it at this time?" How do you want to convince the court."

Wang Sui was not too optimistic: "It is unlikely that the imperial court will agree."

Cheng Jingwei pondered and said: "If the court disagrees, there are other ways."

Luo Shixing looked up at him: "What can you do?"

Cheng Jingwei was standing at this time, looking down at the little lynx looking up, it was really cute, but unfortunately... Wang Yan was still there, so he could only pinch the back of Luo Shixing vaguely and said: "We are talking to Zhancheng. They also have a coastline, if not, we will rent their coastline to build a port."

Champa is now called the Linyi Kingdom, and it is now in a prosperous period, but even so, the development of the ocean is not very deep, and it is not difficult for them to rent the coastline.

The imperial court cannot control the construction of seaports in other countries.

Luo Shixing gave Cheng Jingwei a thumbs-up and said, "Good way."

Wang Sui asked blankly: "If Lin Yiguo harbors evil intentions to rob..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the two people on the opposite side smiling very kindly. Luo Shixing said very calmly: "Linyi Kingdom should have been the territory of our Han family since ancient times. Over the years, due to the complicated situation in Lingnan, we have not strong control over Lingnan. This is why they are allowed to be independent and self-governing. If they really dare to do this, we have a reason to take back the territory."

Lin Yiguo itself was lost from the hands of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty. At the beginning, it was because he wanted to take it back but was unable to obtain it, which made the Han army expedition afraid of mutiny, and the Lingnan side was short of troops. Close to nothing, that's all there is to it.

After the Eastern Han Dynasty, this land was in a state of war for a long time, and there were even incidents that almost became a devastating blow, such as the Wuhu Chaohua. It was not until the founding of the Tang Dynasty that it slowly entered a period of peace.

So naturally there is no control over the Lingnan side, and it is true that the small countries here have always been rampant.

However, if you can be at your own home, of course it is better to be at your own home.

Luo Shixing looked at Cheng Jingwei with his chin in his hand and thought, how could he persuade the court to let him build a port?

Cheng Jingwei is writing a warrant to the people below, so that they can take it to find the place.

When he finished writing, he looked up and saw the little lynx staring at him intently, and now there were only the two of them left in the study, Cheng Jingwei laughed and said, "Is this not enough?"

Luo Shixing blinked and said, "That's right, how can you see enough beauties?"

Cheng Jing raised his eyes slightly to look at him, with a slightly dangerous expression: "Oh? Lynx mantle means that all good-looking people are like this?"

Luo Shixing said calmly, "It has to be the one I think is good-looking."

While talking, he leaned over and squeezed Cheng Jingwei's chin, kissed him on the lips and said, "Get some inspiration."

However, just as he was about to back away, he found that Cheng Jingwei's hand had circled around his waist, and as soon as the opponent's arm exerted force, he returned to Cheng Jingwei's arms.

Cheng Jing slightly lowered his head and said, "Is that enough?"

The last words were not between the lips and teeth of the two.
