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

Luo Shixing didn't have time to care what the governor of Guangzhou was thinking. In fact, even if he knew what the other party was thinking, he wouldn't care. Unless the governor of Guangzhou rebelled, what else could he do?

Oh, at most it is to report to the court that he is going to rebel, but this matter... hehe, do you think the court believes it?

A large part of his industry is now in Luoyang, and even with the help of Wu Chengsi, it has spread all over the major cities in the Central Plains.

There's no way, he doesn't have a son or relatives anymore, so he can't take a hostage there.

What?Cheng Jingwei?

No, the big cat belongs to him and cannot be pressed there.

What's more, they are very clear that the two of them are now as close as one, but others may not believe it. How can you convince those who have been in the officialdom for so many years that they have nothing against each other? Woolen cloth.

Husband and wife are truly one body, and even so, there are different dreams in the same bed, let alone Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei, who don't even have a marriage certificate. Their relationship is not protected by the law. Can there be any barrier?

So even if he put Cheng Jingwei there, these people may not really take Cheng Jingwei as a hostage.

After thinking about it, I can only use this method, not to mention that he has no reason to rebel. Everyone can see that he has a bright future. It is not impossible to say that he will be an extremely powerful minister in the future. Now he has a title

In addition to the fact that the throne is only possible for the relatives of the emperor, the son of the prince, he can go a step further, even the king of the county can't think of it.

Only a fool would rebel under such circumstances. What happened to those people who rebelled before?They are all members of Li Tang's clan, and they might be killed if they don't rebel, so it's better to give it a try.

What's more, Luo Shixing just handed over the big killer in his hand, if he had the intention of rebelling, why would he hand it over? How can the soldiers of the imperial court be the opponents of these things?

The reason why Luo Shixing made such an analysis was because when the recorder came over, he said in a low voice: "The governor of Guangzhou seems to be dissatisfied."

So the governor of Guangzhou didn't realize that he was isolated at the time. He felt a little subconsciously, so some unhappiness was brought out.

Luo Shixing nodded to show that he knew, and then went to meet the other governors.

The other three governors were very curious about what Luo Shixing said about the coastal economic belt.

Especially the governor of Guizhou, he always felt that this matter might have nothing to do with him, because there is no sea in Guizhou!

But he felt that apart from the fact that the Governor of Guangzhou was not clear-headed and might have provoked the economic envoy, he did nothing, and even had a very humble attitude, so the economic envoy should not ignore him, right?

So even if he thought it had nothing to do with him, the governor of Guizhou still came over to listen.

After Luo Shixing arrived, he said with a smile, "I've kept you waiting for a long time. Let's stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point."

When he said this, the servants in the mansion brought out the map, which was placed vertically on a shelf, so that everyone could see it without getting up.

The governors were a little puzzled after reading it: "This...is a map?"

Luo Shixing nodded: "Exactly, this is a map drawn with the latest method, which is more accurate."

Only then did the governors realize that they were confused just now because the map looked more like a painting, but they also knew that it was impossible for Jing Lue to show a painting for them to appreciate at this time, and although the map It is different from the map drawing methods they know, but there are still some similarities in general, such as the terrain, and the jurisdiction and important counties of Lingnan states other than Guangzhou are marked on it. May be painting.

Everyone looked at the map carefully, mainly looking at the scope of their own jurisdiction. After comparing it, they found that this map was indeed more intuitive. The mountains, rivers and water systems were well drawn on it, and even some mountains and rivers were unknown to them as governors.

As for how the governor of Jiaozhou knew... They felt that it was best not to pursue it. Anyway, they might not necessarily tell the other party if they asked, and it would be useless to ask.

After Luo Shixing put up the map, he gestured at the coastal zone with a horsewhip in his hand and said: "The coastal economic zone I mentioned before, you may all think that it is difficult to develop an economic zone along the coast, in fact, it only depends on the sea. My idea is, first, find a way to raise some less perishable seafood, such as kelp or fish and shrimp, which are still popular in the Central Plains.”

It is certain that people who have never eaten seafood are not used to it, but after eating it, many people will like it.

Especially the sizzling squid he made before, the taste of the sauce largely neutralized the taste of the seafood, so the dish of fried seafood in sauce is very popular, steamed ones are average.

But as long as one of them is popular, it will open up the market sooner or later.

The governor of Rongzhou said hesitantly: "Well... there are fishermen in my area who are raising shrimp, but they can't sell them for a price. If they are sold far away, they can't be preserved. Dried shrimp is fine, but the price can't go up."

Luo Shixing thought for a while and said: "If you have no way out, you can sell these things to Jiaozhou, and Jiaozhou will buy raw materials from you. How to deal with them is our problem."

The governor of Rongzhou asked cautiously: "The price..."

The price can easily be suppressed for large quantities of purchases, not to mention the economic envoy himself asking, do they dare to sell too expensive?Even... dare to collect money?

Luo Shixing said directly: "According to the market price, and the state government should try not to interfere with the price, sometimes the breeding of this thing depends on the right time, place and people. In some years, the harvest is high, and the price is naturally low. In some years, the harvest is small, and the natural price is low." High, let the market set the price."

The governor of Rongzhou immediately breathed a sigh of relief, maybe he felt that his performance was a bit obvious, he smiled a little embarrassedly: "I...I am just worried that the fishermen will not make money, so don't blame the manager."

Even if they are not good officials who care about the income of the people, they are at least qualified officials.

Luo Shixing said with a smile: "Don't worry, I make money in an aboveboard manner, and it is impossible to exploit ordinary people."

Seeing that Luo Shixing's attitude was very gentle, the governor of Yongzhou asked cautiously, "Then...except for breeding? This matter may not see improvement in a while."

It took two or three years to raise this thing, and it may take four or five years to generate income. Although I know that it is not easy to mobilize the entire state in a short period of time, can't Jiaozhou do it?He may not have the ability to use economics, but he can learn from it. As long as the other party gives some pointers, he may be able to avoid many detours.

Luo Shixing said: "This is the second point I want to talk about. To build a port, why does Guangzhou's commercial development mean that it has the right time and place? Does it have a big port? To be honest, before Jiaozhou, it was only because the land was harvested, so Taxes are a little higher, but the real big revenue comes in after the port is established.”

The governor of Rongzhou was a little entangled: "This... I also know it, but... building a port is not a small sum."

The port needs a lot of investment, and no one can tell whether it will be a loss or a profit before the investment. Of course, the most important thing is that the port construction period is very long. With the current speed of infrastructure construction, it may be longer than their tenure.

At that time, the port is about to be completed. As a result, their term of office is up, and there is a high probability that they will retire or be transferred to other places to provide for the elderly.

If it is still the same as before, Laozi is the governor of a state, and his son will inherit it, so forget it, it can barely be regarded as a family business, but Lingnan has been chaotic in the past two years. After the governor of Jiaozhou gained a firm foothold here, the court began The placement of manpower here may not necessarily be the governor, but it is also a very important position.

Now that the governor of Jiaozhou is also serving as the economic envoy, it is easier to deploy manpower. If you think about it, you know that it is impossible for the governor to continue to practice the hereditary system.

Therefore, they are of course unwilling to let the latecomers benefit from a large amount of investment, especially when investing in the early stage, the state finances may not look good, and may even be worse than before, and they may have to face accountability from the court.

Although the governors want the people under their jurisdiction to live a good life, they are not willing to wrong themselves.

Luo Shixing had thought that they would have such concerns before, so he said: "I will report the plan of this coastal economic development belt to the imperial court, and try to persuade the imperial court to give some preferential policies. It depends on the intention of the imperial court. As for the port construction ...Jiaozhou Port was put into use within a year, in fact, it was not so big at the beginning, it was gradually expanded to what it is today, and the construction of Jiaozhou Port is still going on.”

The governor of Guizhou, who had been very silent all this time, understood it earlier, and said directly: "So... as long as the ship can be docked, it will be put into use?"

Luo Shixing nodded and said: "In the beginning, there is no need for a particularly large ship, and the large ship also transports a lot of things. Before a certain commercial scale is formed, it is not appropriate to rashly build a deep-water port. It is very likely that you will lose everything."

The governor of Rongzhou nodded frantically: "Yes, yes, you really need to be careful about this, not to mention... Actually, we don't seem to need a boat now."

The situation in these states is much better than Jiaozhou, and the traffic is not so inconvenient.

But Luo Shixing said: "Seafood can't be stored, and the waterway transportation is faster, and my idea is to use Jiaozhou Port as the distribution center, where bulk goods will be stored. When the time comes, merchants from several states will get goods from here. Go to your own site to sell and form a business network."

The three governors were shocked when they heard this. Isn't this... the responsibility of Guangzhou now?

Does Jiaozhou want to replace Guangzhou?

Although when trying to figure it out, these guys thought for a moment that the young man in front of him was whimsical, but after thinking about it, he is now an envoy of the Lingnan Economic Strategy, why can't he think about it?

In particular, the relationship between the envoy and the imperial court is still very good, and the emperor treats him very well. He has more resources to facilitate this matter, why not?

Even compared to them, this one may have a longer term of office. The governor may change, but the manager will not change, but now unless the manager is transferred to Guangzhou, it is impossible to change places

But if you really want to be transferred to Guangzhou, you can transfer there from the beginning, why wait until now?

Even though he thought so, the governor of Yongzhou still boldly asked: "It seems that there are not so many merchant ships in Jiaozhou Port today."

To form a distribution center, there must be enough businessmen willing to come. The current Jiaozhou Port... seems to be lacking.

Luo Shixing nodded: "Exactly, so..."

He looked around, smiled slightly and said, "I want to form a fleet to go to Nanyang and open up a fixed trade route."

"What?" The governors were shocked for a moment.
